Lu Yunying asked her to go to the Yu Duo matter, but obviously this girl didn't take her words to heart and wanted to enter the palace with her. Lu Yunying couldn't say anything.
Soon it was time for the family dinner in the evening. From the bottom of her heart, Lu Yunying didn't really want to go to this family dinner, but for the sake of Aunt Zhang's future life in the mansion, she still had to cheer up and attend, pretending to be the best. Here's a sample.
It was a coincidence that Lu Yunying met his cousin Lu Qingtang who lived at home again on the road.
The last time she saw this cousin, she was still in a situation where she was being weighed down and ready to sell out. But this time when she saw her, the situation was completely different. Not to mention Lu Qingtang, even Lu Yunying himself was quite different. Feeling subtle.
"See...your lord?"
Lu Qingtang was a little unsure of what to call him, because he really didn't expect to meet Lu Yunying on the road.
"No need to be polite, cousin, we are all family members."
It's a bit inappropriate to call him Brother Qingtang at this moment.
Then, the two sides fell silent.
Lu Qingtang and Lu Yunying didn't see each other very often. One was staying here while the other was transparent. It was great that they could greet each other with just a few words last time, but now...
"Cousin is much more energetic than before. Second uncle is in good health?"
"Well, I'm much healthier than before. I just received a letter from home not long ago, saying everything is fine and asking me not to worry."
"That's good. My cousin can study with peace of mind."
Lu Yunying found a topic, and Lu Qingtang was a few steps behind her. The two of them slowly talked about common things, which was not a cold moment.
It was not far from the place where the two met to the front yard where the family banquet was held, but this short distance surprised Lu Qingtang.
Because he often studied in the front yard with Lu Qi and Lu Lin, Lu Qingtang would see the second, fourth and fifth ladies who came to visit his brother from time to time. These three cousins would care about his brother's health, study status, etc. I will never talk about health maintenance in such a clear and logical way, as if I have learned it specially.
Lu Yunying was also smooth-talking.
She once saw someone posting on the Internet about what was the most important thing to do after time travel, and an enthusiastic netizen replied - health care.
Go to bed early and get up early, eat small meals often, exercise regularly, and stay healthy... In ancient times, there was lack of food and clothing, let alone medicine, and the body is the capital of everything. Do you think it is important?
The last time we met Lu Yunying, she found that Lu Qingtang was quite thin. Even more so now. Although he was feeling better mentally, his body was still thin, so he couldn't help but give some tips on how to take care of his body.
It's just that my cousin is also very good. Although he looks thin and sickly, he actually has two years of study abroad experience.
"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. At that time, Master also said that I needed a glimmer of inspiration when I was learning, so he advised me to walk around and see the local customs and customs everywhere."
Lu Qingtang said it was easy, but what were the conditions in ancient times? How hard is it to go out? Even if he was not careful, his life could not be saved. Lu Yunying felt that it would be good for her to be a homebody in this era and have food and drink for the rest of her life.
And from this aspect, her cousin is much more powerful than her two brothers who are separated by one level in her life.
Now the two young masters of the Lu family are not as good at academics, not as knowledgeable, and are narrow-minded. They can only talk about their ideas and family fortune. But with this family wealth, when Lu Qingtang wins the election, he may be able to rely on himself. leveling force.
"I can see before my eyes that my cousin is the leader of this generation in our family."
"Um?"
"No, my cousin has a bright future. Yunying once again wishes my cousin a bright future."
Unexpectedly, Lu Yunying would step on his own brother and praise him so bluntly. Lu Qingtang didn't react, but there was no need for him to react. The front yard was already in front of him.
When Lu Yunying walked into the yard, everyone was there except for the two brothers she had just complained about and Aunt Zhang who was in bed to raise her fetus.
Seeing her coming, no matter what he was thinking, he happily asked her to sit close to him. Lu Qingtang, the "guest", was naturally pushed aside and could not speak.
"Yunying is here? Come, come, come and sit in front of father."
Lu Feng looked at his third daughter, whom he had never paid much attention to, and sighed:
"I knew you had a gentle and quiet temperament in the past, but I didn't expect you to have such great luck. Well, from this point of view, the sisters in the family are not as good as you."
Gentle and dignified Lu Yunluo:...
Lu Yunsuan, who was finally persuaded:...
It's rare for two sisters who are at odds to have the same idea. What's wrong? Why can't they compare? Why is his father so capable of adapting to the changing circumstances?
But what they thought was not important. Aunt Qin always followed Lu Feng. After hearing this, she said happily:
"Yes, yes, our third young lady is usually inconspicuous, but she becomes prominent at the critical moment. She has hidden talent and beauty. Fortunately, your majesty, your ladyship, has a keen eye for talents and can see the good qualities of our third young lady." .”
"That's true, but it's a pity that you are about to enter the palace, so you can't be at your mercy, and your father can't watch you all the time."
Speaking of this, there was a hint of sadness in Lu Feng's eyes:
"Hey, forget it, what are you talking about? Be happy."
"By the way, where are the eldest and second young masters? Why haven't you come yet?"
The housekeeper stood aside and said quickly after hearing this:
"I've sent someone to invite him, and he's probably on his way."
"Two idiots, if his sister can still be at home for a few days, why not hurry up and get together with the brothers and sisters. When Yunying enters the palace, they will miss their third sister. Let's see how they regret it."
Everyone knew that Lu Feng was trying to help his two sons, but no one was quick to expose it.
Mrs. Hu found it funny at first. Even she, knowing that Lu Yunying's status was different, her first reaction was to salute.
Lu Feng, on the other hand, acted like a loving father as soon as he saw his daughter. Aunt Qin followed suit. It was really ridiculous. Didn't you see that the three girls didn't even look at the two of them?
After these few contacts, Mrs. Hu finally understood that Lu Yunying was different. No, or she didn't see her as a concubine clearly from the beginning.
But it doesn't matter. Although she and Lu Yunying have quarrels, she has never treated her badly for more than ten years. In addition, Aunt Zhang is in the house and there is the one in Aunt Zhang's belly. If she takes good care of these two people, Lu Yunying will miss her no matter what. A lot of hard work.
When the time comes, the third girl in my family will be so lucky. As her aunt, I can also take advantage of it, right?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Hu felt extremely calm, but when she heard that her son was not here yet, her face fell again.
What an injustice. Her son was indeed not as smart as Qin's son. If, if only, her son could have the advantages of her two daughters, she wouldn't have to worry so much.
Lu Yunying looked at what was happening in front of her, and her whole body felt extremely fragmented.
Is this a family dinner?
Of course not.
This is a stage, and she is the best background. Lu Feng uses this to show his love and concern, Mrs. Hu shows her dignity and generosity, and Aunt Qin shows her support for Lu Feng as her husband. As for the others, they do not It doesn't matter anymore, it's just a supporting role, it doesn't matter if it's there or not.
After a while of burning incense and having a cup of hot tea, the two young masters of the Lu family, Lu Qi and Lu Lin, arrived belatedly.
"Father, mother."
Lu Qi walked in first, no different from before:
"The imperial examination is coming soon. The studies are very heavy. My son is busy studying so he is late. Congratulations to the third sister on entering the palace."
After saying this, he stood aside, his tone still filled with annoyance that these vulgar things were disturbing his studies, and the whole lively occasion fell silent for an instant.
Mrs. Hu's eyes twitched and she was about to scold her when she got off. Unexpectedly, the second young master, Lu Lin, spoke in advance:
"My brother shouldn't have said this, but since my brother said it himself and has this understanding, I don't have to worry too much."
"Now that my brother is not even a scholar at his age, the family dinner really takes up too much of his study time."
"you!"
"Okay! This is a family dinner, why are you making a fuss!"
Lu Feng stood up from his seat, feeling that his two sons were nothing and neither of them made him worry.
But for Lu Yunying, isn’t this great? She just disliked the boring family dinner, and it would be great to eat melon.
Fight, fight!
Besides, she didn't like Aunt Qin, but she had to admit that her second brother was a good talker, so who was she trying to show off to? Love comes or not! It seems that others care about him.
After reading books for more than ten years, Lu Qi has never read 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
The following banquet was full of undercurrents, and the focus was no longer on Lu Yunying, a beautiful lady who had not yet been canonized by the decree, but on the overt and covert fights between the eldest son and the second son.
The family banquet was not planned from the beginning, and now it was suddenly prepared. The dishes served were also some big fish and meat, but after all, they were too common and had no special features, so they did not attract people's attention.
Taking advantage of the quarrel between the two brothers, Lu Yunying looked around boredly and once again made eye contact with her cousin Lu Qingtang, who was sitting in the corner "obediently" eating, and found that he was also watching the show with great interest.
Isn't this person as obedient as he appears?
Slightly raising the white jade wine glass placed aside, Lu Yunying nodded in greeting, then drank the wine inside, and counted the time. Well, this drama should have come to an end.
In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.
The family dinner ended late yesterday, and she barely had a good rest, so of course she got up late.
It wasn't until Yu Duo came in with water and hurriedly pushed her awake that Lu Yunying got the news.
The decree of canonizing concubines in the palace came down, and as expected, the first one was Xu Luhua, the eldest daughter of Duke Xian, who had a similar family background to the queen, and was canonized as a first-class virtuous concubine.
Well, in daily operations, there are five people in the fourth lady position.
Then there was Xie Gui, the only daughter of Marquis Ningyuan, who was canonized as Xiuhua of the third rank.
Xu Luhua and Xie Gui are the only two empresses who have been canonized in this election.
As for Meng Ji, the empress's direct sister, Meng Chuyu, who was named the fifth rank, although her status is a bit lower, it is extremely unlikely that a family will have two chief empresses. In recent years, the Meng family has not been as prosperous as before. This The position is understandable.
The most surprising thing is Yang Yushuang, who is also the niece of the Queen Mother and comes from the Yang family. She is actually only a sixth-grade noble.
The Yang family is now Duke Cheng'en, a first-rank duke. Although it relies on the Queen Mother, this title is a false title, but their daughter is not only a sixth-rank noble.
All of a sudden, the former dynasty and the harem were paying attention to this matter, and there was a lot of discussion about it. Naturally, the Lu family also got the news.
According to the Lu family's family status, it is normal for the seventh- and eighth-grade servants and Baolin to be selected, but it is not impossible to choose the eighth- and ninth-grade imperial maidens.
Just when the entire Lu family was worried about this, in the afterglow before sunset the next day, the eunuch from the palace came to the door.
"Yunying, the third daughter of the Lu family, is courteous, thrifty, gentle and submissive. According to the Queen's decree, she has been named a beauty and will enter the palace soon."
"Beauty Lu, please accept the order."
The eunuch who delivered the order was very kind, which is normal.
Lu Yunying's grade is definitely a dark horse in this draft. Who can be a eunuch who can deliver orders but not a human spirit? Someone among the three giants in the palace, the emperor, the queen mother, and the empress, must have taken a fancy to this beautiful master, and it was always right to be polite.
Lu Yunying knelt beside Lu Feng. She was still a little confused after being helped up by Yu Duo. She thought a little bit wildly that Lu Feng was now an assistant teacher from the sixth-grade Imperial College, and she was from the sixth-grade beauty. Well, wouldn't the two of them be fighting? A tie?
Well, then she is pretty good. After all, she is young and still has room for improvement.
