Chapter 93 Temptation (2)
Lu Mingxuan saw that although Lu Mingya was smiling and calling herself 'Sister Xuan' affectionately, she didn't dare to take it lightly. She was acting, who was worse than anyone else, because she also affectionately called 'Third Sister' ': "I came out to get some air, but Qiaoer met Brother Ling Shi, so I asked Brother Ling, 'I don't know if the moonlight in Linzhou is the same as that in Beijing'. Please come out too, let’s watch the moon and have fun together?”

Lu Mingya smiled and said, "'The moon is sixteen on the fifteenth day', and the elders are still there, I'm afraid we won't be able to appreciate the full moon today, why not talk about it tomorrow night? I'll go in now, and I won't disturb Sister Xuan and Ling Shixiong has spoken his own words."

Lu Mingxuan immediately laughed and said, "I'll go in with my sister, but the third sister can't play jokes like 'talking about yourself', otherwise it will ruin my sister's reputation, and maybe my sister will be implicated too, right? My sister always If you love me, you shouldn't see my reputation being damaged in vain?" After speaking, he took Lu Mingya's arm first, and walked into the hall affectionately.

Although Lu Mingya wished she could throw Lu Mingxuan's hand away, but after copying Buddhist scriptures to cultivate her self-cultivation these days, she has become a lot more stable. At least she knows that she has to do everything to save face, so that people can't catch her. Avoid anyone who has a quarrel with the other party will be considered to be at fault first.

So she held it back, and looked like the two sisters were good, and went back to the hall together with Lu Mingxuan, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart, a cheap girl is indeed a cheap girl, she already knew how to seduce men at a young age, if The person who spoke to her today has changed to someone else, and I will definitely make them a good-looking couple, and I will never give up if they are charged with the crime of "secretly giving and receiving, privately ordering life". Dingguo's mansion has a marriage contract, if he yells, his grandfather will follow suit and promise the lowly girl to Ling Mengqi with a full marriage contract, but what should I do?Even if she took advantage of that little woman like Lu Mingxin, she would never take advantage of a lowly girl like Lu Mingxuan, count her lucky today!
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Duke’s Mansion rested for a few days, and then devoted itself to the busy work of celebrating the old Duke’s birthday in September. This is how a wealthy family is prosperous and the population is prosperous. Isn’t there a festival of one kind or another every month? , Even if there is this person or that person celebrating their birthday, the big guys still have many opportunities to get together to eat, drink and have fun.

Because there was only a big birthday banquet last year, this year the old man issued an order early in the morning that only his family members can get together to have a meal, and there will be no red tape. There, Rao issued an order to be simple, how could it be so simple?
Therefore, those who should be busy in the Duke's Mansion are still busy with work, but it is better than last year.

That's why Lu Mingxuan decided in her heart that the time to tell Ling Mengqi that Lu Wenzhu would startle the horse on the [-]th of next month was the old man's birthday. On that day, Ling Mengqi would definitely enter the inner courtyard. Come to kowtow to the old man for his birthday, and for such an important matter, she can only rest assured if she tells Ling Mengqi face to face, and it will make her feel unsafe to convey it through anyone's mouth—this is a big matter, once the news leaks, It is secondary that Ling Mengqi and her can't take this opportunity to change their future fate. If someone with a heart is allowed to take advantage of the problem and blame Lu Wen's shocking horse on her head, after all, according to common sense, she is just a mortal, and it is impossible If there is no prophecy, it can only be because she planned the matter by herself, and no matter whether she can plan such a thing with her age and status, as long as someone doubts this, she will not be able to wash it away even if she jumps into the Yellow River !

In the blink of an eye, it was the old man's birthday. Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu dressed up early in the morning and went to Rongtaiju, waiting to pay respects to the old man.

Not long after, Lu Zhongmian, Mrs. Lu, Lu Zhongjing and Mrs. Lu also came over with their children, and even Princess Fuhui and Lu Zhongyu rushed to the flower hall before the old man and Mrs. Lu, bringing them with them. Lu Mingzhu and Lu Wenzhu came from the princess mansion, together with Zhao Yanjie and Ling Mengqi, more than [-] people crowded the flower hall to the brim.

When the old man and Mrs. Lu came over, they saw such a picture of their children and grandchildren together, and their faces were full of smiles. However, before the birthday greetings, the two elders had to meet Princess Fuhui to salute the whole country, the latter of course They refused to accept anything, the parents-in-law and daughter-in-law were polite, the old man and Mrs. Lu took the upper seat, and Princess Fuhui took the first seat on the lower left, and then Lu Zhongmian led the big crowd. The people in the house kowtowed to the old man for his birthday: "Congratulations to my father (grandfather) for a long life, I wish my father and mother a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan!"

And presented a congratulatory gift, but it was a pot of red coral about two feet high, the whole piece of coral was so red that it seemed to bleed, it was priceless at first glance.

Then even if Lu Zhongjing led the people from the second room to kowtow to the old man, the congratulatory gift was a white jade Guanyin, although it was not as dazzling as the red coral in the big room, it was quite rare.

When it was the turn of the third bedroom, although the eldest princess Fuhui was the youngest daughter-in-law, she was the eldest princess. The congratulatory gift could not be as poor as that of the eldest and second bedroom, but they made twelve handfuls of red gold emerald with a whole piece of mutton jade. The birthday turtle and crane pot is presented, if it is placed in a slightly inferior family, it can be directly passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom.

Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu's congratulatory gift was a pair of hands embroidering a picture of a hundred birthdays. Lu Mingxuan asked Mr. Lan to help write it, and then the two sisters worked together for more than a month to get it. They couldn't take out the valuables, old man The Lord may not be rare, but it's just to express his heart.

I think that Zhao Yanjie and Ling Mengqi also thought the same way. The congratulatory gifts of the two are also handmade by themselves. I don’t want to say whether the old man likes it or not. Others will say nothing. As long as you do your best enough.

After his family finished their birthday celebrations, relatives and friends came to visit one after another, so Lu Zhongmian took his two younger brothers, Lu Wenting, Lu Wenyuan and several older men to the outer courtyard to greet the guests, and brought the younger ones together with Zhao Yanjie and Ling. Meng Qi stayed at the knees of the old Duke Chenghuan and Mrs. Lu in the inner courtyard.

It was this opportunity that Lu Mingxuan was waiting for, because when everyone was not paying attention, Fu Er gave Dan Qing a few words, then quietly left the flower hall and went straight to the rockery in the garden.

After about half a cup of tea, Ling Mengqi was led by Danqing to the rockery. Lu Mingxuan ordered Danqing to watch over, and when he saw someone coming, he reminded him, then lowered his voice and cut straight to the point and said to Ling Mengqi: " Didn't I ask Ling Shixiong before if he thought about working in the three major camps or the 24th guard, now there is an opportunity, I just wonder if Lingshixiong is interested?"

Ling Mengqi never thought that Lu Mingxuan asked Danqing to invite him out to tell him this. Originally, he thought that Lu Mingxuan had something to tell him about Jifang Pavilion, so he couldn't help being startled, and said: " If there is such an opportunity, I am 120% willing, but I don't know what kind of opportunity it is, and I would like to ask Miss Xuan to express it clearly." There was surprise and tension in the voice that could not be concealed.
