Zhang Shui'er was amused by her and giggled, and she laughed even more happily when she thought that Lu Xinlan didn't hide it from her intentionally, but couldn't open her mouth at all.
She leaned on Pei's other side and greeted her with a smile.
"Old madam, my great-grandmother has been waiting for you to come here all morning. She will be very happy to see you later."
The old lady in the Duke's Mansion is the mother of the current Duke, Zhang Shui'er's father, and the queen's grandmother. According to seniority, Pei also calls each other aunt.
The old lady is approaching the age of 70, but her body is still strong, her eyesight is clear and she is out of breath.
Her silver hair was tied into the simplest bun and fixed with a white jade hairpin on top of her head.
When he saw them entering, he immediately smiled and waved, gesturing for Mr. Pei to come closer and talk.
Lu Xinran looked at the tall old man with shock and admiration in his heart.
Even in future generations, approaching eighty years old will be considered a long life. This old lady must be a person with great wisdom and open mind.
Mrs. Pei was a junior in front of the old lady, and Lu Xinran and the others couldn't even get close to her.
Several people came forward to say hello and then retreated outside the door, talking and laughing quietly while listening to the noise in the room.
"Have you heard? The Dingkang Marquis' Mansion used the Iron Book of Alchemy Book given by Emperor Gaozu for Pei Xiuzhuo."
Zhang Shui'er leaned close to the ears of the Lu sisters and whispered a muffled thunder.
Lu Xinran's eyes widened in surprise. A few days ago, Lu Xinlan also said that if Dingkang Houfu uses the iron coupons of the Alchemy Book, it will be very troublesome in the future.
At that time, she still felt that even if Pei Jinming was confused, he would not ignore it for the sake of a grandson.
As a result, reality slapped her young face.
Lu Xinlan had expected this and was not surprised at all.
"It's not a bad thing to use the Alchemy Iron Coupon..."
Among the several families who followed Emperor Gaozu in founding the country, the only ones who still have titles are the Duke of Guo's Mansion and the Marquis of Dingkang's Mansion.
The iron certificate of the alchemy book in the Duke's Mansion was taken to the palace by the queen, and the iron certificate of the alchemy book in the Dingkang Hou Mansion was all alone, which became particularly annoying.
Pei Jinming was not so much trying to save his grandson's life as he was taking the opportunity to throw out this hot amulet 'justifiably'.
"My great-grandmother also said the same thing, saying that although Lord Pei's step is risky, it can make His Majesty let down his guard against the Marquis's mansion."
As Zhang Shui'er spoke, she took Lu Xinlan's hand with bright eyes: "You are so smart! Grandma and great-grandma will definitely like you very much. Do you want to be my sister-in-law?"
Lu Xinran took a step forward, pulled out Lu Xinlan's arm and pulled him behind him.
"My sister is from a humble background and is not worthy of the wealth of the Duke's palace. Don't say such words again in the future."
[The Queen is having such a hard time in the palace, and everyone in the Duke's Mansion must be walking on thin ice. I can't bear to let her live a hard life in the Duke's Mansion. 】
[The wealth and wealth that is boiling in the fire should be poured out on others. 】
She just wants to save up enough health points now, and then kidnap her grandmother, and the three of them will travel around Dachu.
The old lady in the room had long heard that the voices of newly found girls from the Lu family would always be heard from time to time. ,
Hearing her talk about the situation in the Duke's Mansion now, she smiled openly.
"You have a good fortune. All of your granddaughters are very intelligent. This girl seems to be a bit out of the ordinary. She is not dignified and steady but she is very wise and foolish."
After being praised by the old lady, Ms. Pei smiled happily, even happier than if she directly praised herself.
At their age, they are competing against the younger generation in the family. She has a honest and filial son, and several well-behaved and thoughtful granddaughters. Her life has not been in vain.
"This girl is careless. As long as I take her out, I'll keep it in mind."
The old lady laughed when she heard this.
Be careful...the people who are scared to death are those who are involved in dirty things in the house.
"Did you hear the movement in the Dingkang Hou Mansion?"
"I heard that." Speaking of her brother, Mr. Pei instantly suppressed his smile: "Brother, you are so confused. That child is not worth risking everything to save."
She said it sadly, but the old lady didn't see any loss in her eyes.
Knowing that she was talking to outsiders, she smiled and talked about their arrangement again.
"Let that girl Shui'er take you for a walk in the courtyard later. The cruise boat on the lake was just renovated a few days ago. Then we will go on the boat to enjoy the wind together."
She said this very tactfully, but they are all old foxes, so how could Mr. Pei not understand her intentions.
Knowing that she also wanted to see the excitement of Uncle Ron En's mansion, he smiled and said back to her: "We are lucky to be able to accompany the old lady on the boat."
In the yard, Zhang Shui'er was showing off his arrangement to Lu Xinlan.
"There are two cruise ships on the lake. Later I will ask people from the Rongenhou Mansion to be brought to the cruise ship, and then I will ask my servants to lead Mr. Tang and the Fourth Prince to another cruise ship.
"As long as we are close, people on both ships can hear what they need to hear. This is not intentional. Am I very smart?"
She raised her head, looking for praise all over her body, which made Lu Xinlan couldn't help but smile.
"I knew that if I asked for your help, I would be able to do it safely and well."
"That's when I..."
She wanted to say that she originally wanted to be the prince's concubine, and of course she had to be very scheming and powerful. But when she thought that Lu Xinlan and Song Junyan's oral engagement had not been terminated yet, and she no longer had this intention, her words were unacceptable. It's better to say it out loud.
She coughed slightly in embarrassment, "I'll take you for a walk in the garden first, and we'll go on the cruise ship in the afternoon."
If something really bad happened, we can't let it ruin the old lady's birthday party.
She led the people away, and many people in the courtyard saw them gathering together and muttering for a while, and then left with interesting faces.
Some smart people knew that there must be a big melon to eat, so they followed him at a short distance.
Today, the Duke's mansion is full of people. Zhou Hanwen and his son have not yet left their respective official positions and have not yet left the capital. Naturally, the female family members of the Zhou family will also come to congratulate the old lady on her birthday.
But the long house was too bleak, Fang Suxin was sent to Zhuangzi, and Zhou Zhengya was framed to death by Pei Xiuzhuo.
Without his real wife, it would be difficult for Zhou Bingshan's two concubines to leave the house without anyone to take them with them.
Mrs. Zhou didn't want to embarrass herself, so she asked the daughters-in-law of the second and third bedrooms to bring the juniors to the Duke's mansion.
The two ladies of the Zhou family are quite good at dancing, and although they are still a little embarrassed, they are still able to talk shamelessly with the ladies who they knew well in the past.
These girls are thin-skinned, and they always feel like they are seeing a joke when others look at them.
After entering the house, several people hid in the garden. Now they saw the Lu family sisters walking from a distance, and they all became red-eyed thinking about why they ended up in this situation.
"Second sister, do we really want to endure this tone?"
Zhou Zhengfu, the fourth girl of the Zhou family, stared at Lu Xinran, wishing she could eat her alive.
Zhou Zhenglian looked at the smiling Lu sisters, feeling sour and angry in her heart.
Just because of them!
She originally planned to marry her cousin after Zhou Zhengya got married, but now her aunt has made an appointment for her cousin to get married by the end of the year.
