Guozijian little cook

June [-]th is coming soon.

God is very kind to me. The weather is sunny and the temperature is pleasant.

Yesterday it was so hot that it made people sweat. Today the temperature has dropped slightly, and there is a breeze, which makes people feel comfortable.

Because someone was asked to calculate the auspicious time, the main birthday party was at noon.

Many adults are unable to come on duty, but ladies and gentlemen can still come.

Of course, there are also adults who happen to be taking a break and can come over, so people are needed to socialize in the front yard.

Grandpa Feng and Uncle Xiao, who happened to be sleeping, took on this responsibility directly.

The two of them, one official and one businessman, were just right, taking into account all the people at the corresponding level.

In the backyard, Xiao Nianzhi took the lead, assisted by his aunt and cousin. Wei Zhiqiu and Yan Changxia also came over early to help.

Although Xiao Nianzhi is a young junior, she still has an official position in the officialdom.

Therefore, not only young ladies came, but also many ladies.

Many adults also came to the front yard, including several old colleagues from Shanglinyuan.

There must be nothing wrong with the meals prepared by the imperial chefs, and they won't lose Xiao Nianzhi's face.

There was still some time before the official start of the banquet, so Xiao Nianzhi simply took these people to the backyard for a walk.

Lotus flowers have been planted in the man-made lake in the backyard.

Although it is not in bloom now, the branches and leaves have stretched out, looking very fresh, and looking at the refreshing greenery, it also gives people a very relaxing feeling.

Friends like Zhao Yunshu and Zhang Xinning, who already had some friendship with Xiao Nianzhi, were very embarrassed and would come to talk to her from time to time.

During this period, Xiao Nianzhi’s sharp eyes discovered...

Well, Loufu also sent someone here.

She remembered that the Lou family was a younger generation, and the main family had no legitimate daughter, but there were legitimate daughters in the side branches.

The person who came here today looked a bit unfamiliar, and Xiao Nianzhi was not sure who he was.

The other party came here with Mrs. Lou, but after entering, everyone quickly separated again.

The ladies communicate with each other, and the young people also have their own circles.

The daughter of the Lou family was not excluded, but it seemed that most of the people she socialized with were the daughters of minor officials.

Xiao Nianzhi didn't have much of an impression. He only vaguely remembered that he had met her in a hurry when he was receiving her, so he was considered acquainted.

Xiao Nianzhi was puzzled, but the distance between them was too close, so it was hard for Xiao Nianzhi to ask more questions, so he could save a lot of words and let them drift by the breeze and embarrass everyone.

The new house has a nice view, everyone enjoys it, and it has enough space to play games.

Now that summer has entered, everyone is willing to do activities outside to avoid the hottest time at noon. At other times, the ladies also want to come out and have fun.

Therefore, as soon as they saw that they could play games, everyone became active.

Xiao Nianzhi took this opportunity to quietly ask Yan Changxia: "Who is here from the Lou family..."

Wei Zhiqiu was nearby and thought the two people wanted to whisper something.

After listening carefully, he found that he didn't recognize the girl from the Lou family either, and then he stood up straight without interest.

Regarding this question, Yan Changxia really knew: "That is the second girl of Lou Mansion. Lou Ning, um... is a concubine."

As soon as he heard that she was a concubine, Xiao Nianzhi knew that she should be the girl from the master's family.

She nodded understandingly, and then heard Yan Changxia quickly add: "This one looks okay, at least she is sensible and knowledgeable, and will not fight for it. But if the lady of the building is willing to take her, she knows that she will not be treated harshly." She is much better than the one before."

The one before?Who is it again?

Xiao Nianzhi rummaged through her memory, and it seemed that there really was such a girl from the Lou family who had high-profile visits to the capital, but she had never seen her before.

From what Yan Changxia means, isn’t this the person in front of you?

Moreover, Xiao Nianzhi felt that it didn't look very similar.

The capital's treatment of concubines has always been double-standard.

Even if they are concubines from powerful families, most of them keep a low profile.

As long as the head of the family didn't spoil his concubines and kill his wives, and let the concubine cause trouble, things like the concubine stepping on the head of the concubine and shitting would never happen.

However, Xiao Nianzhi did have some impressions of the Lou family's concubine's previous high-profile trip.

However, it seemed that for a long time, I didn't notice that person anymore.

Xiao Nianzhi thought, could it be that she had been too busy recently and hadn't paid attention to it?

Soon, Yan Changxia explained the reason in a low voice: "The eldest daughter of the Lou family before was more high-profile and arrogant than the legitimate daughters of many other families. When traveling, she just wanted to tell everyone with gongs and drums that the noble daughter of the Lou family was traveling. Pedestrians give way.”

Wei Zhiqiu listened on the side and rolled his eyes gracefully: "The one who suffered a big sin with you before?"

Xiao Nianzhi:?

Well, what did she hear?
Regarding the incident of being kidnapped before, Yan Changxia no longer has any psychological shadow. Now when she mentions it, she has a very relaxed attitude: "Well, it's her. I thought she looked familiar before and didn't remember it carefully. Later, Lou Chen told me .”

Speaking of this, Yan Changxia pursed her lips unhappily and whispered: "Lord Lou is sometimes confused. He dotes on the concubine's mother so much? And he also ordered Lou Chen to go out to look for her? Really? Big face!"

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Yan Changxia would even want to spit!
After hearing this, Xiao Nianzhi understood a little bit.

Although Mr. Lou did not spoil his concubines and destroy his wives, he did have a preference for a certain aunt, and even the concubine of the other party was able to make a high-profile appearance.

Wei Zhiqiu listened on the side and nodded in agreement: "What are you talking about? However, this may be the reason why he has been hanging on to his idle position, enjoying the shadow of fame, and cannot get any real power. His mind is not clear. It’s strange that the emperor’s uncle can use him!”

Master Lou is the Marquis of Nan'an, inherited from his ancestor Yin Feng.

As for official positions?

Hanging in the Hanlin Academy, titled: Associate Bachelor.

However, this official position is in the Jin Dynasty, and it is purely a wealthy and idle person who wants money and power?

That didn't.

To put it into detail, the eldest son of the Lou family, who has now entered the Hanlin Academy and has become a scholar, has more say in the Hanlin Academy than his father.

Xiao Nianzhi listened, nodded understandingly, and then curiously asked in a low voice: "What about the girl from the Lou family before?"

The one who came today is definitely not the same one as before.

Mrs. Lou was probably not willing to bring the previous one.

Who will let this matter go? Who will not respond?
In response, Yan Changxia whispered: "Well, just pack it up hastily and marry the second son of the Zhao family who has returned to Xizhou."

Xizhou is the ancestral home of the Zhao family. The younger generation will not be directly sent back to their hometown if they have not made any mistakes.

After all, in comparison, the capital city must have more abundant resources and broader development.

Xiao Nianzhi thought that there seemed to be a young master in the Zhao family who was very close to Lu Jingyuan. After the incident at White Horse Temple, Yan Xingxuan once said that the other man was sent back to Xizhou.

Could it be that you are married to this person?
