Chapter 40 040 Dinner

   Wuyue nodded knowingly, and said to Xiangying: "I see, you can go down, Miss, I will be enough to serve you."

   "Yes." Xiangying replied, and then retreated holding the copper basin.

   Wuyue walked into the room, put the food box in her hand on the table, and brought out a large bowl of iced mung bean soup inside.

   "Miss, this mung bean soup has been frozen in ice cubes for a long time, but it has cooled down. Please pay me back."

Hearing this, Lu Xiang put down the embroidery work in her hand, took the blue and white bowl in Hong Zhuang's hand, took a sip, felt cool instantly, and sighed comfortably: "It's a pity that ice cubes are too rare, if I drink them every day in summer What a treat to serve with a chilled bowl of mung bean soup.”

   Wuyue said with a smile: "Miss, don't be greedy for coolness. It's not summer yet. This is just to satisfy your hunger. It's not good to eat too much ice."

   After finishing speaking, Wuyue took out another note from her sleeve and handed it to Lu Xiang: "Miss, look—"

  Lu Xiang put down the bowl in his hand, and took the note in Wuyue's hand.

   "The servant passed by Xia Qing when she was going to the kitchen. She stuffed it into the hands of the servant while no one was paying attention." Wuyue said.

  Looking at the contents of the note, Lu Xiang slowly raised her eyebrows. Then, she crumpled the note into a ball and told Wuyue, "Burn it."

   "Yes, miss."

   Wuyue walked aside, picked up the torch and lit the fire, burning the ball of paper to ashes.

  Behind him, Lu Xiang's cold and ethereal voice sounded, it was obviously beautiful like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, but it was so far away that it seemed to be far away in the sky.

   "Xia Qing said that she accompanied Lu Yue to Aunt Fang's room two days ago, and saw Aunt Fang happily counting a box of silver and jewelry. I heard that someone asked Aunt Fang to do something."

   Wuyue saw that the note was burnt, turned to look at Lu Xiang: "It's not surprising, the master is the magistrate, a high position in Yangning City, someone asked the master to do something for fear of being rejected by the master, so he took the road of Aunt Fang."

   Oftentimes, it is easier to get things done when the women in the backyard blow the pillow wind.

Lu Xiang started to drink the mung bean soup again, her gentle brows were full of bitterness: "That's what I said, but relatively speaking, Aunt Fang is not as favored as Aunt Liu. If I really want to ask my father, then Will people act rashly without inquiring clearly? If you can find Aunt Liu, it will be easier to get things done."

This made her feel a little weird, but she couldn't catch her head and continued: "Anyway, Wuyue, let Xia Qing keep an eye on Aunt Fang more, and report to Aunt Fang as soon as there is a situation. It should be convenient."

Wuyue nodded heavily: "Yes, Miss." As she said that, she took out another post from her body and handed it to Lu Xiang: "Miss, this is an invitation post from the Governor's Mansion, and the Chu Mansion will host a banquet the day after tomorrow. , Miss, please come to the house and get together."

  Lu Xiang took the post and flipped through it casually. The post was posted by the wife of Dudu Chu.

No matter where they are, such gatherings of ladies and wives always appear in endlessly. Today this one, tomorrow that one, excluding birthday and birthday feasts, there are countless other big and small banquets on weekdays. This is the social circle of the upper class, there are all kinds of Comparing and clinging.

Ladies and ladies who seldom go out all day use these large and small banquets to make friends with all kinds of people. At this kind of banquets, there are also many wives who try their best to please their husbands and bosses. When the relationship is good, it can be of great help at critical moments.

  Because Lu Youping hadn't remarried as his main wife yet, there were only a few concubines in the mansion, so Mrs. Ling invited Lu Xiang and other young ladies, as well as Qiao Jingru.

When Lu Xiang walked out of the gate of the Lu residence, Mrs. Liu, Aunt Fang and Aunt Lin were all waiting at the door with their daughters. When they saw Lu Xiang coming out, Mrs. Liu and Aunt Fang showed impatient expressions on their faces. .

  Aunt Lin smiled at her and said, "Miss San, I will trouble you to take care of Qiaoer today."

  Lu Xiang said: "Aunt Lin, you're welcome. It's also my first time going to a banquet. I don't think there will be any mistakes by walking around with Mama Wen."

  The old lady was worried about the younger ones, so she asked Mother Wen to accompany her.

  Aunt Lin touched a soft nail and smiled embarrassingly.

"Since the third lady is here, get on the carriage quickly. We can't keep the master waiting for a long time, or we will be rude." Liu Shi concealed the disgust in her eyes very well, stepped forward and pulled Lu Xiang affectionately, smiling said.

  She drew exquisite eyebrows, and smiled lightly, like a breeze supporting a willow, indescribably gentle.

  Lu Xiang glanced at Mrs. Xu indifferently, and pulled out her hand without a trace: "What Aunt Liu said is true, but it is still early, so there will be no delay. Aunt Liu is too worried."

  Mr. Liu looked impatient, as if she wanted to fly to the Chu Mansion immediately to make friends with those noble ladies.

  If her pearl can establish a firm foothold among those real celebrities and build a good relationship with them, then their mother and daughter will have greater confidence to gain a foothold in the Lu residence.

Mrs. Liu was not at all embarrassed by Lu Xiang's alienation, she turned her head and gave Lu Mingzhu a wink, and saw Lu Mingzhu walking over with a smile, clasping Lu Xiang's arms with both hands, shaking coquettishly: "three Sister, let's take a carriage."

  The corner of Lu Xiang's mouth twitched a few times, trying to stay away from Lu Mingzhu, but unexpectedly, Lu Mingzhu's strength was astonishing, like an octopus clinging to her tightly.

   He forced Lu Xiang into the carriage.

   Wuyue rolled her eyes when she watched from behind, if it wasn't for the fact that the lady at the gate couldn't do too much, how could she be dragged away by the fourth lady.

Along the way, Lu Mingzhu talked non-stop to Lu Xiang as if he had never had any conflicts with Lu Xiang. Lu Xiang leaned on the cushion in boredom, looking at Lu Mingzhu who was beaming in front of him, with a pair of jade-like clear eyes that seemed deep and deep. The pool is bottomless and full of strange smells.

  Is Lu Mingzhu's head caught by the door or something? Even though the two of them had already torn their faces apart, how could she still act so nonchalantly?

  Lu Xiang suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body.

   Soon, the carriage arrived at the Chu Mansion, and Lu Xiang hurriedly got off the carriage, not wanting to listen to Lu Mingzhu's nonsense anymore.

   At this time, there were many gorgeous carriages parked at the gate of the Chu Mansion, and it was crowded with people.

  Gate with vermilion lacquer and glazed cornices. Two majestic stone lions stand at both ends of the stone steps of the house, majestic and lifelike.

  Red pillars and green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings.

  A servant walked up to them, saluted respectfully, and then asked, "Excuse me, are you the lady from Zhifu's family?"

  Lu Xiang nodded with a smile, and was about to say yes, when Lu Mingzhu suddenly said first: "It's us."

The servant didn't know whether it was a concubine or a concubine in front of him. He only heard Lu Mingzhu say this and his demeanor became a little more humble. He half bent over and made a gesture of invitation to Lu Xiang and the others: "Please, everyone, my family Ma'am has been waiting for a long time."
