Thinking about it, Shen Pin handed the prepared gift to Lu Xiang and looked to the side uncomfortably: "This is for you. Congratulations on becoming the young lady of Duke Anguo's mansion."

"Thank you." Lu Xiang took it with a smile.

Every girl has her own unique personality. Lu Xiang has lived two lifetimes. As long as she doesn't step on her bottom line, she won't be too harsh on those who make small fuss.

Shen Pin didn't like her and she never forced it, but now that she was taking the initiative to show her kindness and congratulate her, Lu Xiang would not go back on old scores and sneer at Shen Pin.

Lu Xiang's smile was so beautiful that it was like poppies all over the mountain, charming people.

Shen hired a girl and her family couldn't help but feel their heart beat a little faster.

Her cheeks were slightly red and she whispered softly: "You...don't you open it and take a look?"

It was also a way to let her know whether she liked the gift she gave her and whether it was in line with Lu Xiang's wishes.

Lu Xiang heard this and opened the brocade box.

The box contains a tourmaline jade bracelet, which is made of eighteen pink tourmaline beads and tied with extremely complicated and exquisite gold silk knots, each tied with a pearl, which is very delicate.

The weaving method of the silk knot was so clever that Lu Xiang couldn't help but look surprised.

"I made this myself. It's not expensive. I hope you like it." Shen Pin said.

"Miss Shen is interested, I like it very much." Lu Xiang raised his eyes and looked at her with a happy smile in his eyes.

She took out the bracelet and tied it on her hand.

With a slight turn of the wrist, the beads collided and made a crisp impact sound, which was really nice to hear.

Shen Pin could see from her eyes that she was satisfied with the bracelet, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"As long as you like it."

Her thin red lips pursed slightly, seemingly in control but couldn't help but subconsciously curved her lips slightly.

The originally quiet Guiyun Pavilion suddenly became lively due to the arrival of several people.

Lu Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "How about we sit in the room for a while?"

Chen Rujin nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I heard that Duke An Guo specially prepared a separate attic for you, just in time for me to visit."

He Zhiyan came here at Lu Xiang's invitation. She would be wherever Lu Xiang was and had no objection.

Shen Pin looked at the cheerful crowd, and his emotions were infected. After thinking about it, he raised his legs and followed in: "I'll go take a look too."

She often comes to An Guogong's mansion, but this courtyard was vacant before, so naturally she has never visited it.

Seeing this, Yunlu quickly ordered her maid to prepare tea and cakes.

These are the guests of the second young lady. Since they are here, there is nothing wrong with entertaining them in Guiyun Pavilion.

When the maid brought tea and food, Chen Rujin asked someone to set up tables and chairs under the plum tree behind.

"The sun is warm today. Don't stay indoors. Let's sit outside and enjoy the scenery."

Shen Pin looked at the bare yard, with only a few plum blossoms blooming tenaciously, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

You are the concubine, you have the final say.

"There is a plum grove in the garden of Duke Anguo. The scenery there is more beautiful. Why not go there to enjoy the scenery?" Shen Pin suggested.

Lu Xiang looked at everyone and said that they could decide whatever they wanted.

Several people looked at each other, but no one said anything for a while.

Finally, Chen Rujin shook his head and said: "Forget it, there are quite a few guests here today, and they are all arranged in the garden. There must be someone in the Plum Garden, so it is not as quiet as here."

Lu Xiang smiled and said, "As long as the concubine doesn't mind my humbleness." After saying that, she looked at Shen Pin and said, "Miss Shen, let's sit together."

After hearing this, Shen Pin sat down next to Qiao Jingru in an obedient manner.

"I wonder if there is news about General Shen in Changcheng. How is his injury?" Lu Xiang asked with concern.

Shen Pin: "Thank you, Miss Lu San, for worrying about me. My father is fine. I have sent a letter to say he is safe. His injuries look severe, but they are all external injuries. Because Captain Fu made a good comeback in the surprise attack, which makes him even more upset." The Jin army lost their food and grass, and my father was happy and his injuries were mostly healed."

"The Jin army is coming fiercely. If General Shen hadn't arrived in time to protect Changcheng, I'm afraid it would have been captured by the enemy. My fourth brother often said that General Shen was brave and good at fighting, and he was one of the people he admired most." Qiao Jingru. Said softly.

When Shen Pin heard others praising his father, his eyes lit up slightly: "Really?"

Qiao Jingru nodded: "It's true. His biggest wish is to join the army, so he went to Changcheng without hesitation this time to see the hero he admired with his own eyes and fight bravely with him. My fourth brother But I have no regrets in this life.”

"As long as the imperial army comes to support, this battle will be won," Chen Rujin said.

Several people were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

At this time, Song Zhenzhen walked over with a smile: "It turns out that everyone is here. It makes me easy to find. Why did you come here and not look for me? If Weiwei hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were here." Woolen cloth."

She said to Shen Pin with a slightly coquettish tone, and with an affectionate look, she calmly warned Lu Xiang that Shen Pin was her handkerchief.

Shen Pin had no doubt that she was there and said with a smile: "Today is a good day for your second sister. I don't want to come to congratulate her first. I think I will go to you later."

Wu Wei, who was beside Song Zhenzhen, glanced at Lu Xiang, frowned slightly, walked to Shen Pin and pulled her away: "Since I am here to congratulate Miss Lu San, it doesn't take so long, right? It makes Zhen Zhen and I have to wait."

When Lu Xiang heard Wu Wei's name, she raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled casually.

It seems that she is another girl who blindly obeys Song Zhenzhen.

It's a pity that Wu Wei is so soft-spoken. Apart from expressing her dissatisfaction with her words, it can't cause any substantial harm.

And she didn't dare to act recklessly in Anguo Palace.

Shen Pin held Song Zhenzhen's arm and said with a smile: "I see you are busy. As the mistress of the Song family, you don't have to worry about such an important occasion today."

In the Anguo Duke's mansion, there was no mistress of the house and no wife of the prince, so Song Zhenzhen took on everything.

"I have also organized more important banquets. Today is just a small event. How much trouble can I take." Song Zhenzhen proudly raised her chin slightly and said nonchalantly.

The implication is that the banquet held by Anguo's recognized daughter today is not important at all.

When Chen Rujin heard this, her face sank slightly, and she held her forehead with one hand. She was obviously sitting and looking up at Song Zhenzhen, but she had a condescending air: "Miss Song, are you talking nonsense?"

Song Zhenzhen's face froze and she was choked.

After a long while, she looked at Lu Xiang and said, "I came here specially to find someone. The auspicious time to recognize my bride is coming soon, so sister Xiang'er can wait in the front yard."

Lu Xiang smiled and nodded, with a respectful and courteous expression: "I'm sorry to bother you, Sister Song, but I can actually ask my maid to deliver the message."

Why bother, I obviously don't want to see her.

Song Zhenzhen gritted her teeth bitterly and said with a smile: "How can it be the same? Today is my sister's big day. How can I trust my servant to deliver the message? It would be bad if I missed the auspicious time."
