Chapter 135: Meeting People
The girls looked at me and I looked at you, and they all pursed their lips and smiled. Aunt Cao also had a smile in her eyes, and handed over a bright red blessing knot. Lin Wan took it with a smile and compared it with Lu Junzhao.
It was tied to the left belt.
"Let them serve food?" Lu Junzhao pulled Lin Wan out of the inner room with a gentle smile on his face.
There was already a little girl and a nanny waiting outside with food boxes. Qiu Zi and Yu Zhu brought the food boxes in and placed them one by one.
Lin Wan finished half the bowl of porridge. Lu Junzhao watched Lin Wan put down the bowl, frowned, looked at Lin Wan and said softly: "There is a small kitchen in the yard. If you can't get used to it, let them cook it again."
"I'm really full." Lin Wan was startled for a moment, then she laughed softly, picked out a piece of thousand-feuille cake for Lu Junzhao, and said consolingly: "I have to go see the elders later, I'll leave if I eat too much.
Don't move. Don't worry, I won't be hungry. You can eat yours."
Lu Junzhao relaxed his brows and smiled. He quickly finished the piece of mille-feuille cake and half a bowl of porridge. He stood up, held Lin Wan's hand, and talked to Lin Wan in a low voice all the way from Tingfeng Courtyard to the main hall.
.
King Xining walked slowly to the main hall, one step ahead of Lin Wan and Lu Junzhao, humming to his hand music.
In the main hall, King Xining sat in the middle, with a trembling smile on his face. Princess Wei sat to the left of King Xining, smiling happily as she watched Lu Junzhao and Lin Wan enter the room together.
Sitting on the right side of the main hall is Lu Junqing, the eldest son of the Prince of Xining. Behind the eldest son, sits the eldest concubine Wen Shi. Several maids and grandmothers stand beside him with their hands down.
Lin Wan knelt down and saluted as she entered. Auntie had already brought a soft cushion, so Lin Wan knelt down. She took a bowl of tea from the tea tray handed over by her mother-in-law and offered tea to King Xining first.
"Daughter-in-law Lin serves tea to father."
King Xining stroked his beard with satisfaction, tilted his head and looked at Lin Wan's submissive appearance, coughed under Lu Junzhao's impatient gaze, took the tea and took a sip with a smile.
The mother-in-law brought up another tea tray, and Lin Wan served tea to Princess Wei. With a loving smile on her face, Princess Wei took the tea cup and took a sip, then put down the cup. She took a bottle of Ying from the tray in Grandma Xing's hand.
The transparent jade hairpin was given to Lin Wan.
Lin Wan took it with a smile, and then followed Lu Junzhao to Lu Junqing and Wen.
Wen was less than thirty years old, with a gentle face and a slight smile. She looked wealthy and dignified. Seeing Lu Junzhao leading Lin Wan over with a smile on his face, Wen's eyes were stunned for a moment.
Then he stood up with a smile and took Lin Wanwan to look around. He praised Princess Wei: "No wonder my mother always talks about it, the second brother and sister look like gods. Now that I see them, I like them very much."
Princess Wei smiled and introduced Lin Wan: "This is your sister-in-law." Then she pointed at Lu Junzhao who smiled gently and said, "That is your eldest brother."
Lin Wan quickly bowed her knees respectfully to Lu Junqing and Wen, and called out, "Brother, Sister-in-law."
Mrs. Wen laughed so hard that her eyes rolled up. She quickly took a jasper bracelet from the mother-in-law behind her and gave it to Lin Wan.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Lin Wan thanked her respectfully.
After the marriage acknowledgment was over, Princess Wei left Lin Wan to talk to Mr. Wen. Lu Junzhao opened his mouth. Before he could say any objections, Lin Wan blocked her back with a look, and he had to go out of the door.
King Xining glanced at Lu Junzhao proudly and strode out of the inner courtyard. His son Lu Junqing patted Lu Junzhao happily and said with emotion: "Now you are also married."
In the main hall, Princess Wei pulled Lin Wan with a smile and pointed to Nanny Xing beside her: "This is Nanny Xing, who has been with me for many years. You have just arrived at the palace, so I'm afraid you may be a bit unfamiliar. If there is anyone who doesn't recognize you or...
If you don't understand something, just come and ask mother. If mother is not here, the same goes for asking Aunt Xing."
Mrs. Wen smiled and added: "Mom is really partial. Is it possible that I, the eldest daughter-in-law, can't ask?"
"Your sister-in-law can also ask. It's just that she is in charge of the affairs of the house, so I'm afraid she will be too busy. Don't bother her. If you have anything to do, just go to your mother." Princess Wei pointed at Mrs. Wen, with a very serious tone in her tone.
of intimacy.
Lin Wan agreed respectfully, then smiled at Mrs. Wen and said, "Thank you very much, sister-in-law. I will ask my sister-in-law to teach me more in the future."
"By the way," Princess Wei suddenly remembered the matter of choosing a girl in Tingfeng Court, so she simply told Lin Wan first, "In the yard where you and Brother Zhao are, it turns out that Brother Zhao is outside all year round, and most of the servants in the yard are servants.
, and there are only three or five little girls. I thought that since you have come here, there must be not enough people on hand, so how about I let Grandma Xing stay with you for a while? Then I thought about it to see if there are any suitable girls, and picked two.
past."
"This is because my mother loves me, but I have to trouble Grandma Xing." Lin Wan responded with a smile.
"Look at what Second Grandma said, this is our duty, why bother?" Grandma Xing answered with a smile.
Mrs. Wen was startled, and then joked to Lin Wan: "Mom still loves you. I wanted to ask my mother to let Aunt Xing follow me, but my mother was reluctant. Now, with just one word, I have given her to you."
"Sister-in-law is capable." Lin Wan was unsure of Wen's attitude, so she just responded politely.
Princess Wei smiled and spat at Mrs. Wen, "How can you compare with your second sibling? She is young and has just come here, how can she be like you?"
Wen refused and said a few more words with a smile, which made the room burst into laughter.
Not long after, a mother-in-law and a girl came back to talk, but Mrs. Wen couldn't stand it, so she had to say goodbye first.
Seeing that Mrs. Wen had left, Princess Wei sighed slightly in her heart, then she pulled Lin Wan and said with a warm smile: "Originally, we were supposed to meet Sister Wei and Sister Wen today. But Sister Wen is not in the capital, and Wei
My sister is pregnant and has inconvenience to go out. It will be the same when we meet again in the future. It was a tiring day yesterday, so you should go back and rest early. There is no need to come over at noon. You and Brother Zhao can have dinner in Tingfeng Yuan. Whatever you want to eat
Go talk to the lady in the kitchen personally. If you don't want to, there is a small kitchen in the yard. Brother Zhao doesn't usually eat at home, and occasionally he comes back late. You can talk to the people in the small kitchen and everything that needs to be prepared.
Be prepared."
"Yes, my wife has taken note of it." Lin Wan agreed respectfully, helped Princess Wei out of the main hall, and sent her to Princess Wei's yard. Then she knelt down and said goodbye, taking Grandma Cao and Qiu Zi with her.
Guided by Grandma Xing, we slowly returned to Tingfeng Courtyard.
Lu Junzhao heard Lin Wan's voice from a distance and couldn't sit still at all. Leaving aside King Xining, he strode after him.
King Xining gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Junzhao's back, but finally snorted feebly.
Lu Junqing was funny and helpless. He looked at Lu Junzhao's back and then at the angry-faced King of Xining. He frowned and sighed. Thinking of Lin Wan he had met before, he felt filled with doubts. Such a little girl.
, his appearance is quite pleasant. But at such a young age, how can he make his business so big in both the north and the south?
Lu Junzhao chased Lin Wan and others forward in two steps and coughed.
Aunt Xing watched in surprise as Lu Junzhao strode forward. Her eyes fell gently on Lin Wan. She felt enlightened and then smiled. She quickly stood up and made way for Lu Junzhao.
"What did mother and sister-in-law say to you? Are you tired?" Lu Junzhao stood in front of Lin Wan, stretched out his hand to hold Lin Wan's hand, and asked in a gentle voice.
"I'm not tired. My mother was afraid that I would give in, so she asked Grandma Xing to come over and help." Lin Wan was extremely embarrassed and struggled for a while. But she didn't dare to move too much, but her right hand was tightly held by Lu Junzhao, and she couldn't break away at all.
, I had no choice but to shamelessly let Lu Junzhao lead me all the way to Tingfeng Courtyard.
Aunt Xing smiled and greeted Lu Junzhao. Her eyes stayed on the intertwined hands of Lu Junzhao and Lin Wan for a moment, and then moved away calmly.
Lu Junzhao nodded reluctantly and talked to Lin Wan in a gentle voice.
"A Wan, are you hungry?" Lu Junzhao asked one question after another, which made Lin Wan sigh speechlessly. He pulled Lu Junzhao and whispered, "Don't worry. I'm fine. I have to see you today."
The people in this yard.”
"We have to meet! I'll ask Changshou and the others to come too." Lu Junzhao nodded in agreement.
Lin Wan was funny and weak. She held her forehead and let out a long sigh. She secretly tugged at the corner of Lu Junzhao's clothes and complained: "I am a female family member. How can your servants enter the inner courtyard to see people? Even if they want to see someone,
You go and see me!”
Lu Junzhao suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand to press Lin Wan's temples, and responded in a low voice: "Well, I'll tell them. There are no girls in this yard. If anything happens, you just let your girls and grandma make the decision."
Lin Wan smiled and said "Yeah".
"Let everyone in this courtyard come over!" Lu Junzhao took Lin Wan to sit in the courtyard and naturally ordered to Grandma Xing.
Lin Wan secretly pinched Lu Junzhao and smiled at Aunt Xing: "Excuse me, Auntie, I haven't seen many of the girls in this yard, and I can't even name them. I have to help Auntie to give them some advice."
.”
Grandma Xing hurriedly said respectfully that she didn't dare, and raised her voice to call the three little girls who usually served in the yard to come in.
The three girls were all fourteen or fifteen years old and wore similar styles of dresses. One of them had a round face and a particularly honest smile, but her eyes were extremely lively. She glanced forward with some fear and some curiosity. The one on the left stood
The one on the right is slightly older, with a fair face, slightly closed eyes, crossed his hands, and stood respectfully with his head lowered, looking relatively calm. The one on the right is wearing a pink shirt, with a rosy face and bright eyes.
He looked at Lin Wan and smiled.
Grandma Xing introduced a few girls to Lin Wan with a smile.
The calm one on the left is called Lamei, the round-faced and honest one in the middle is Hongxing, and the one on the right with a bright smile is Lian'er.
The three of them stepped forward together, bowed to Lin Wan in a polite manner, and listened to Granny Xing's lecture.
Then several more nuns and cooks from the small kitchen came forward and saluted Lin Wan.
Lin Wan asked Aunt Cao to distribute the red envelopes she had prepared earlier, and then Aunt Xing lectured her. In the end, Lin Wan only said a few words that everyone had worked hard for.
When Lu Junzhao saw that Lin Wan had finished speaking, he tightened his face, glanced around the crowd with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, in this courtyard, what you say is what I say!"
After saying this, everyone's expressions changed, and then they all politely saluted and thanked Lin Wan, and slowly withdrew.
"Awan, please sit down for a while, I'll go see Changshou and the others." Lu Junzhao stood up, whispered to Lin Wan, and strode out of the courtyard.
Changshou's eyes were sharp and he flew over, bent down to please him and said, "Master?"
Lu Junzhao stared at Changshou for a moment, then frowned and said: "I want to tell you, please make my words clear to the people in the yard! From now on, the young mistress will be me, and you all must listen carefully to her instructions!"
"
"Yes, yes, I understand. I'll go talk to Futian and the others now!" Changshou nodded hurriedly and quickly backed away. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it.
