The woman is probably her mother's sister, but her temperament is very different from her mother's. [No pop-up novel website] The mother is gentle and elegant, but this woman is flamboyant and charming. The peach blossom eyes are almost carved from the same mold, but they have two different flavors.
Mrs. Lu smiled and held the woman's hand: "Twenty-one Mother, why are you here and you haven't even sent a letter?"
"Sister, why can't I come? You are being bullied like this, why don't I come to support you? If you hadn't had a good voice, I would have made a big fuss in the Xu family today to let them know how powerful our Lu family is." 2 Eleven Niang said loudly without any scruples.
Xu Nuo secretly praised herself as the twenty-first aunt.
Mrs. Ding also got out of the car and saluted with a smile on her face: "Mrs. Qian is here..."
Before Ding could finish speaking, Twenty-one Mother smiled and waved her hand: "You don't have to be humble with me. I will go to Ding Mansion with you. This time when I came to Suzhou, I was ordered by my father-in-law to congratulate Old Master Ding on his birthday. Hurry up and hurry up." Came here, long story short, hurry up, if you go too late, the carriage won’t be able to get in.”
The twenty-first lady spoke quickly and pulled Mrs. Lu to her car.
When they arrived at the Ding Mansion, there were indeed many carriages parked outside the main entrance. The people from the Xu Mansion waited for a quarter of an hour before entering.
The man went to the flower hall in the outer courtyard, and the woman was received by Mrs. Ding Er and brought into the inner courtyard.
The group of people entered an elegant hall, where there were already many people, all dressed exquisitely, and the smell of makeup and powder hit their faces.
Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Lu each went to greet several ladies. The twenty-first lady avoided greetings. Instead, she pulled Xunuo and asked her to sit next to her. She looked up and down and took off the jade bracelet on her hand: "You look well dressed, but your wrists are empty. How can this be okay?"
After saying that, he put it on Xu Nuo's hand.
Mrs. Lu happened to see this scene when she came back to see her. Her face changed slightly and she wanted to stop her, but she couldn't stop her. She had to tell Xu Nuo to keep the bracelet well.
Twenty-one Niang smiled proudly, her smile as bright as the July sun. With a bit of complaint on her face, Lu secretly pushed Twenty-one Niang. Twenty-one Niang smiled even more happily, held Lu's hand with her backhand, and gave her an "I know what's right" look.
Xu Nuo looked down at the loose bracelet on his hand, a little confused. Mother's calm temperament shouldn't give her such a reaction. Could it be that this bracelet is very precious or has a special meaning?
Not far away, Xu Qian's lips curled up slightly as she spoke to several young ladies. Her voice was soft and her back straight. She looked like a famous lady, and her eyes glanced at Xu Nuo's wrist.
After everyone had seen the ceremony, a neatly dressed maid led them to the stage in the backyard.
The stage is not big, but it is very exquisite. There are some short round tables in front of the stage. On the round tables are exquisite snacks and cold food. There are six stools beside each table.
Mrs. Ding Er saw Twenty-one Mother and walked over quickly: "Mrs. Qian, I saw you when I entered the door, but you disappeared in the blink of an eye. It made it easy for me to find you."
There was an affectionate complaint in her tone. She had a plump figure and fair and rosy skin. Her large purple sleeves and head full of gold ornaments made her complexion look better.
"Sister, just call me Qingniang. What Mrs. Qian doesn't do is Mrs. Qian, it's just a matter of course." Twenty-one Niang waved her hand, smiled and pulled Mrs. Choji to sit next to her.
The twenty-one-year-old girl’s name is Qingchu.
"How is Concubine Sun? How is the British Duke?" Mrs. Ding Er sat down calmly and asked two famous people.
"The concubine is in good health and is planning to go to Luoyang to see peonies in a few months. As for my father-in-law, he is naturally very good. I originally went to visit my uncle, but then I thought of coming to Suzhou to find my sister. After my father-in-law found out, I will hurry up and deliver the birthday gift to your old man. Let me come on his behalf. You also know who he is. Now your eldest son has become the husband-in-law, and the Qian family happens to have several teenage husbands. I may choose one of your young ladies, but is there anyone of the right age?"
Mrs. Ding Er raised her eyebrows. She didn't want to continue this topic, so she paused and asked again: "That person can give you the confidence. I'm afraid it's just a look. The only one who can make your family like him is Princess. But let me give you a break, I don’t have a suitable child in my family. Either he is already married, or he is still very young." Obviously, he does not want to marry with the Qian family.
Twenty-one Niang pursed her lips and smiled.
Mrs. Ding Er understood that the twenty-first lady was deliberately trying to scare her, so she glared at her fiercely, and then said: "How good is Mr. Lu? I heard that the emperor sent two imperial doctors to Luoyang."
"Uncle, I'm afraid it's not going well." Twenty-one Mother's expression was rare and serious.
…
Xu Nuo on the side was shocked by the two words and his heartbeat accelerated.
Concubine Sun was the wife of Qian Hongchu, the last king of the Wuyue Kingdom in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Their son, Wen Xi Gong Qian Weiyan, was the father-in-law of Twenty-one Niangs.
Xu Nuo remembered that it was written in the history books that Qian Weiyan was a good person and followed the trend. He wrote many articles praising his virtues and dedicated them to the court to invite favors. He was especially good at currying favor with the royal family through marriage and grabbing power, which was despised by current commentators. He was extremely good at marriage. His second son married the daughter of Princess Xianmu, the ninth daughter of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, and his grandson married Princess Renzong of Song Dynasty. He was also the uncle-in-law of Liu Guifei's brother Liu Mei, and he also had a son-in-law, Sheng Du, who had a very good career.
Xu Nuo tried hard to recall and remembered that Qian Weiyan had three sons. The youngest son was not born yet, so Aunt Twenty-One married his eldest son Qian Ai!
Xu Nuo didn't know what kind of person Qian Ai was, but Aunt Twenty-one had a flamboyant temper and became Qian Weiyan's daughter-in-law, so she probably wouldn't have a happy life. No wonder when he talks about his father-in-law, his eyes and tone are full of disdain, and he even teases her with Mrs. Choji.
From the words of Eryi Niang, it can be deduced that her uncle is Lu Mengzheng and her elder brother is Lu Yijian.
From the first day he traveled through time, Xu Nuo knew that his mother was born into a prominent family, but he didn't expect that she was from the Lu family in Shandong, which had three prime ministers.
I originally thought that Ding's natal family was already very strong, but I didn't expect that my mother's natal family was the powerful one.
She turned out to be the niece of the famous Prime Minister Lu Yijian!
In this way, the Ding family is far behind the Lu family. No wonder Ding doesn't dare to show her mother's face at home.
There was a burst of laughter from Xu Qian's side, and then a group of people dispersed and left.
When Chuntang saw the direction in which those people were leaving, her eyes suddenly lit up and she whispered to Xu Nuo: "The Ding family has two century-old locust trees and a particularly high swing. It is said to be the tallest swing in Suzhou City. I've seen many sisters in the house. The fourth lady must be going to play on the swings. Madam, let's go too." She was very envious as she spoke.
Xu Qian was chatting and laughing with seven or eight young ladies walking in front, including Aunt Du and Xu Erniang.
Xu Nuo nodded and responded to Chuntang, slowly falling behind these people. Chuntang stamped his feet anxiously: "Madam, there are a lot of people queuing up at the swing right now. If you don't go faster, we won't be able to get in line at noon." !”
