It is winter now. Although it is not the time for thousands of trees to sprout buds, the capital city is naturally more prosperous than other places. The crowds are bustling. The lights on the riverside are reflected in the layers of water patterns on the willow-shaded river. And on the riverside
, the balcony is towering, the heating pavilion is exquisite, and the stove is placed on the small table to fill the room with warmth.
Although today's Yu family's small banquet is only half a family banquet, the people who have close contact with the Yu family are some rich young masters and young masters. At this time, the banquet has just begun, and some familiar ladies from the official family have already gathered together to chat.
One day, all the little girls gathered together did not only talk about their clothes and jewelry, but also which young master stood out.
Although the Yu family is powerful, it has not been divided, and the children are relatively simple - Yu Hanwen is the current head of the Yu family, and is a cabinet bachelor in the court. He also has two younger brothers, one named Yu Hande,
One was named Yu Hancheng. The two brothers had little achievements in the court and only had two leisurely jobs in the cabinet.
But in fact, the Yu family still had a little sister, but she passed away more than ten years ago.
At this moment in the Yu family, Yu Hancheng was pacing anxiously in the room, "Is it possible that eldest brother really wants Chang Qing to marry that widow?"
At the side, his wife was lazily eating melon seeds: "Why are you worried so much? We can't guess what brother is thinking. How can I, the aunt, know what this kid Changqing is thinking? I see, most of the time, it's the grown-up.
You must have fallen in love with that little girl."
Yu Hande thought about it, and it seemed to make sense. His nephew had been smart since he was a child. It was impossible for him to obey his father's wishes so easily when it came to marriage. The fact that he could obey so quickly only meant that this boy probably had some of this in him.
The meaning is clear.
Thinking about it this way, he felt much more relaxed and complained: "Eldest brother also said that the girl and Yueniang look alike, how similar can they be, and how much more similar can they be to Lu'er?"
Yueniang was the last daughter of the Yu family. She married Pingxuanhou Jiang Qingshan, and the couple lived a harmonious life. Unexpectedly, Yueniang died in childbirth when giving birth to their second child.
But he tried his best to save the fetus in his belly.
This fetus is now Jiang Lu, the legitimate daughter of Pingxuanhou Mansion.
Over the years, for some reason, my eldest brother has been looking for someone who looks similar to Yueniang, and even quietly told him that he suspected Jiang Lu was not Yueniang's biological daughter.
But, how is this possible? Yueniang saved the birth of Jiang Lu with her life. The Jiang family must have been closely guarding her during the birth. How could someone take advantage of such a loophole?
"No matter what, I will see what that girl looks like today." Madam tossed the thin melon seed skin, the door was opened from the outside, and a little maid walked in cutely, "Madam, the concierge said
Most of the existing guests have arrived.”
…
At the banquet, many guests had come, "I heard that the Yu family's post this time has also been sent to the eldest princess?" They have some contacts with the second room of the Yu family in the Imperial Academy, and are not high-ranking officials. Now they heard that the eldest princess
The princess actually came, and everyone's faces couldn't hide their excitement.
Another person waved his hand: "Maybe I just asked for the invitation casually..." After saying that, the person stared straight at the entrance and murmured: "You...really here?"
Several people were still discussing in a low voice, when suddenly someone put his finger to his lips: "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhusein," and the others were confused and looked at the direction she was pointing.
he?"
The person they were talking about was wearing a gold patchwork coat made of solid bamboo green gauze. His eyebrows were like distant mountains, his eyes were like spring water, and his elegant feather-like long hair was tied up into a crown. He looked elegant and graceful. , elegant and harmonious.
Everyone forgot that he actually had an excellent appearance.
As a royal guard, Fu Heng was only under the jurisdiction of the Holy Emperor and was busy with official duties all day long. However, he was actually a weakling. He was not familiar with these people. In the final analysis, he came here because of Jiang Wu.
The carriage of the eldest princess slowly stopped at the entrance of the Yu Mansion after him. Needless to say, she was usually very dignified. Others would think she was unparalleled.
"The eldest princess and the commander have made it possible for you to take some time out of your busy schedule, so my little banquet is really a blessing." Bai Shi, the mistress of the Yu family, stepped forward to greet her.
Although Fu Heng is about the same age as her son, who can say that he has both class and real power?
Fu Heng returned the gift with his hands in hand and said calmly: "I've finished my work recently and there's nothing going on."
Mrs. Bai then smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the eldest princess would come in person today. Yesterday, I discussed with some of my sisters-in-law and racked our brains on how to entertain you."
The eldest princess smiled generously and thought to herself: I just want to know what my daughter-in-law looks like.
At this moment, Jiang Wu was late - the reason was that she didn't want to go, but Fu Heng asked her to go. She still didn't understand why. There was a traffic jam on the road, and the driver took a long detour. I've never been to Yu's house before, so I almost missed the time.
"Ahem -" Before anyone could see him, he only heard two coughs. The concierge led a woman wearing a dark blue slanted collar and came over. This woman's skin was as white as snow, different from that of the lady from the aristocratic family. The beauty is as delicate as porcelain, but also has a bit of uncarved romance.
"Which girl is this from? Why are you here alone?" Someone asked her name in a low voice.
Jiang Wu blinked and felt awkward standing at the door.
At this time, Mrs. Bai came forward and took Jiang Wu's hand affectionately: "Is this Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Wu naturally looked at Fu Heng for the first time. She only knew Fu Heng here. Although she didn't know who the beautiful woman next to Fu Heng was, she thought her status wouldn't be that low. Thinking of this, she thought The ground shrank back again.
Jiang Wu saluted Mrs. Bai and said, "Well, madam."
Bai looked at her, although she still felt something was wrong, but the girl was indeed beautiful, and she didn't show any shyness in her every move. If her son really liked her, that would be great.
It's just... didn't this girl say she was working in Beizhen Fusi? For someone like a master catcher, Beizhen Fusi is really so rich? Today, Jiang Wu is adorned with hairpins and brocade clothes, and her face is embedded in Zhaojun's velvet white skin. Among the fox furs, everything you wear is extraordinary.
Mrs. Bai was beating her drum in her heart, as was the case with others. Several daughters of minor officials gathered together to discuss: "Who is this girl?"
Jiang Wu felt that standing at the door like this was tantamount to a public execution, and hurriedly asked: "Then what am I now...?"
Bai quickly invited people in.
Just as Jiang Wu was going to sit down at the seat arranged by Bai, she heard Fu Heng suddenly say: "Come here."
Jiang Wu pretended not to hear, and the guests were at a loss.
Not long after, Fu Heng suddenly said again, "Miss Jiang, can you come over and sit down?"
