Although Lu Erniang is the head wife of the Qian Mansion, she is only responsible for managing the Qian Mansion in Bianjing City.
The ancestral home of the Qian family is in Hangzhou and is managed by the patriarch.
The current patriarch is Uncle Qian, and An'er is the patriarch's direct daughter.
Qian An'an came to greet Xu Gucheng and Mrs. Lu, her steps were light and there was no timidity in her movements, "An'an has met Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu."
Xu Gucheng nodded, while Mrs. Lu held her hand and looked at the shiny white girl with a smile.
There was a hint of sadness deep in the smile. If Liu Niang had not gone missing, she would have looked like this delicate and lovely person, instead of the wandering child she looked like when they first met.
"It's really exquisite and beautiful." Mrs. Lu praised.
She didn't know that she would see Qian An'an today. Although she had prepared several items for her other nephews, those items would not be of enough weight to give to the young lady in front of her.
"Is An Anke studying piano?"
After thinking slightly, Lu took out a book of piano music.
This was originally something she brought to Twenty-One Mother, but now she can only give it to this little lady Qian.
"Thank you, Mrs. Xu. I have long heard that your piano skills are outstanding. I wonder if I am lucky enough to get your guidance." An An saluted again and accepted the piano score.
"Of course it's okay. Although I rarely play the piano now, it's okay to give you kids a heads up and lead the way." Mrs. Lu said with a smile, her smiling eyes sweeping over Lu Erniang.
When she saw Mrs. Lu taking out the piano score, Lu Erniang's eyes widened. This was the piano score that she had asked her sister for many times. Seeing that her sister had specially brought it with her to give it to her today, she was surprised. Give it to someone else halfway.
At this moment, his eyes met Lu's, with a bit of unwillingness, but he couldn't say a word.
Soon, Qian Wuye came in.
He is extremely tall, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and has a relaxed and cheerful expression on his face. This image is unforgettable.
As soon as he came in, he greeted Mrs. Sun with a big salute.
Xu Nuo was shocked when she saw him saluting like this. He looked at Lu and saw that her expression did not change, so he guessed that Fifth Master Qian had always been like this.
This was how she saluted when she entered the palace to meet officials and saints. She didn't expect that Qian Wuye would also be so courteous to meet Concubine Sun.
No wonder he was so liked, and the Qian family also gave him full authority to handle matters in Bianjing.
The concubine looked at the kneeling person and said hurriedly: "Hurry up and give us Xiaowu a seat. If you want to tease an old man like me, you have to wait for a while."
Mr. Qian Wu bowed again and said loudly: "Thank you, concubine."
Also coming in were two nephews from the Qian Mansion, one of whom was the son who came out to buy Xixia horses a few days ago. The two of them followed Qian Wuye and bowed, and when he took his seat, they stood behind him.
When everyone arrived, Lu Erniang ordered the maid to start serving food, and then arranged seats for the standing juniors.
Except for Qian Anan, who was sitting next to Concubine Sun, everyone else was sitting at the bottom.
The person sitting in front of Xu Nuo was Xu Pingyi, and the person sitting behind him was Xu Pingqi. During the entire meal, he felt the double care of his elder brother and younger brother, and was very happy.
Today's meals are all Suzhou and Hangzhou flavors, very authentic, and overall more exquisite and delicious than the Xu family's New Year's Eve dishes.
From the dishes, I can feel the care of Twenty-one Niangs and the importance of the Qian family.
While Xu Nuo was drinking seafood soup, she recalled the scene when she came to Qian Mansion for dinner last year. At that time, Mrs. Sun was also there, but Qian Wuye did not attend. The children of the grandchildren were only the children of the twenty-first mother, and none of them were adults. The son-in-law attended.
As for last year's dishes, she had no impression of them at all. They were obviously not delicious.
In such a comparison, the Qian Mansion paid special attention to the Xu family's visit this year.
This made Xu Nuo feel a little uneasy.
Sudden kindness, concern, and attention are not necessarily good things.
After the group had lunch, Qian Wuye proposed to Xu Gucheng: "Take the two gentlemen of your house, let's go on horseback?"
"Naturally, you can't miss it." Xu Gucheng said.
"Li Niang, let's go and have a look. If you're brave, you can give it a try." Lu Niang's mother reached out and asked Qian Wuye to bring the promise.
Master Qian Wu understood and said: "Women are not inferior to men. I heard that Liu Niang and Sanniang of the Hu family are friends, so naturally I dare to get on the horse and try riding."
Faced with Qian Wuye's sincere invitation that he had to go, Xu Nuo nodded.
She has seen Western Xia horses, and also went to Zhuangzi to ride them, but today she mainly saw her brother riding a horse.
Hu Ling's letter said that the way her eldest brother rode a horse in the snowy scene was very pleasing to the eye and she must see it.
After a few people left, the two sisters of the Lu family chatted with Concubine Sun. The concubine was tired, so she asked them to leave too.
The two came to Lu Ershiyi's own yard.
As soon as she entered the room and sat down, she asked: "Sister, what do you think of my niece?"
"He has an excellent temperament and appearance. He has such a good life experience, and his behavior is not arrogant at all. He is a good boy." Mrs. Lu picked up the teacup, shook it slowly in her hand, and stared at Lu Er with deer-like eyes. Eleven Niang.
Speaking of arrogance, Lu Erniang was the most arrogant person in Bianjing before she got married. Some people fell in love with her, while others were angry with her.
Feeling the probing meaning in Lu's eyes, Lu Erniang's eyes dodge. Although they didn't look at each other, she still felt a little panicked by being stared at.
He simply said: "Sister, An An is the most favored child in the clan. The eldest brother personally taught An An how to read and calligraphy. He has many expectations for her. She will become the most outstanding lady in Hangzhou in the future. I will tell you directly, the eldest brother asked me to give This child wants to be the son of the Xu family."
An An came to Bianjing this time just for this matter.
Although Mrs. Sun didn't say anything, as the daughter-in-law who was the most observant, she naturally knew that Mrs. Sun approved of this matter, or she might be the leader.
"Which son of the Xu family does Mr. Qian choose for his daughter?" Madam Lu asked.
She had made a guess when she saw the young lady of the Qian family today, but she didn't expect it to be true.
"Of course it's Dalang. I guess it's because Dalang has done well since he entered the official career, so my eldest brother got interested." After Lu Erniang finished speaking, she made an innocent expression begging for forgiveness.
This matter was of great importance, but she did not tell her sister in advance, which made her sister quite passive.
Everyone knows that the elder son of the Xu family is good-looking. In the past, even a person with the status of County Master Jiaren was willing to deign to wait outside Yingtian Academy just to take a look at him.
However, due to the head of Jiaren County, many families who admired Xu Pingyi were unable to find matchmakers to marry the Xu family.
Therefore, Xu Pingyi's marriage has not been settled in the past few years.
"Da Lang is nineteen years old this year and An An is ten years old. They are just the right age."
Lu Erniang said tentatively, "I only found out about the marriage to An An in the morning, otherwise I would have had someone inform my sister in advance."
And she didn't expect that the concubine would directly call the child to meet the guests together.
Seeing each other like this is equivalent to two families seeing each other today.
I think when she came out of the concubine's house to pick up her sister and her family, the maid who came out with her went to invite An An over.
"We're nine years apart, how dare you say you're just the right age?" Mrs. Lu poked Lv Erniang's forehead with her hand, "The elder man can't afford to wait, and neither can Miss Qian."
"Miss Qian is not suitable for Da Lang. Da Lang is already old. He can choose his future wife by himself. If I tell Er Lang, he can consider it instead." Lu said.
"Sister." Lu Erniang held Lu's hand in a coquettish way.
"No matter how you shout, I have this opinion. You know I have never thought about getting married to a rich family, especially this kid Dalang. He has an upright temperament and has no eyesight. He looks like a romantic young man on the outside, but in fact he is the most simple and simple at heart. He is very similar to the rich family. The lady who comes out is not good at getting married."
Her son had already resigned himself to becoming an official for the sake of the family. She would not impose anything else on him. Even if it was Taifei Sun's wish, she would refuse.
As for Erlang, he has a calm personality and is quite strategic in his actions. Being married to a lady from a rich family should be easy for him to get along with, and it will also help his future career.
"I understand. The patriarch admires Dalang very much. If he knew that his passion was rejected, he would definitely be embarrassed for a few days."
After Lu Erniang finished speaking, she laughed.
The patriarch was originally very confident in the marriage, so he allowed the child to stay in Bianjing, but he did not expect that he would be rejected by his sister.
"I also have a son. If the head of the Qian family and the concubine think that Erlang is good, maybe this matter can be done. However, I think it is best for the children to be interested in these things, and we can just go with the flow." Madam Lu said jokingly, The words were kept alive until the end, and it also made it easier for Lu Erniang to do business.
After saying this, the two chatted about the affairs of Lu Mansion. After a while, someone reported that Miss Qian was here.
Qian An'an came to ask for piano lessons, and Lu Erniang said: "Sister, you can teach An An more, I will go and deal with some things and come back."
After she came out, she went straight to Mrs. Sun's yard.
