On the fifth day of the first lunar month, worship the God of Wealth.
Li Qingluo got up early in the morning and went to the God of Wealth's shrine to burn incense and worship sincerely.
After she practiced sword skills and went back to her room to write a piece of calligraphy, Cui'er and Que'er pushed her in front of the dressing table.
"Miss, you are going to the palace with the master, his wife, and the old lady today. We need to get dressed quickly!"
Li Qingluo picked up a silk flower and played with it: "Why rush? It's still early anyway."
Que'er suddenly looked nervous: "It's getting late. My grandma just said that we should go to the palace gate early to line up. If we go late, we will be scolded by those palace stewards."
"Also, this silk flower was made for you by the old lady's craftsmen in a hurry. You have strong hands, so please don't break it again."
Cui'er said, "Exactly. Miss, you bent all the petals of a silk flower yesterday, and I had a lot of trouble to repair it. If you break another one, and the old lady asks why you didn't wear any silk flowers today, we will be blamed."
Li Qingluo put down the silk flower awkwardly.
"Is it really impossible not to wear this?"
Que'er: "Of course not. The old lady has repeatedly instructed me to dress you up to look as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water! Of course, it must be dignified and elegant!"
"Of course, this is also the most popular item in Jinling City right now."
"Don't be nervous, young lady. You are the eldest daughter of our general's family, and today is your first time back to the palace. We can't afford to lose this battle."
Li Qingluo sighed inwardly.
She knew what her grandmother was thinking. She was probably worried about her marriage again and wanted to take advantage of today to meet her some of the young men who were entering the palace today.
This is indeed a good opportunity.
Well, as long as grandma is happy, what does it matter if she lets her be busy?
Anyway, my grandmother would not arrange a marriage for her without asking for my opinion.
Watching Que'er placing the pearl hairpins one by one on her head, Li Qingluo calmed down instead.
There was also a small mountain of jewelry boxes and cloth piled up beside him, all of which were sent by Qu in the past few days.
Although Li Qingluo collected them all, it was still useless.
She was just wondering why Qu had become more and more positive towards her recently.
Especially on the second day of the New Year, when she came back from Qu's house, she gave Li Qingluo a cart full of things.
There are so many of them, all of which should have been brought back from the Qu family.
Why did the Qu family suddenly show such kindness to me?
Li Qingluo had a hunch that something was fishy going on, and he became more alert.
Soon, Li Qingluo knew what Qu was planning.
"Luo'er, why don't you hurry up and pay your respects to your great-uncle?"
The Qu family has two branches.
The current Minister of Revenue, Mr. Qu, is Qu's uncle and the eldest son of the Qu family.
Qu came from the second branch of the Qu family. Qu's father was still just a small civil servant of the fourth rank, so all the glory of the Qu family and even Qu came from the first branch of the same lineage.
Mrs. Qu Youshi from the second house is Li Qingluo's maternal grandmother. She does not have the qualifications and status to appear at today's palace banquet, so the great-grandmother whom Mrs. Qu asked Li Qingluo to meet at this moment is Mrs. He, the first wife of the Minister of Revenue, Mr. Qu.
Just at the palace gate, the men and women on both sides had just separated when the two families happened to meet each other.
It was not their turn to enter the palace yet, so the women from both families got off the carriage and met each other.
After the elders exchanged greetings, Qu pushed Li Qingluo forward with a little excitement.
At Madam Pei's suggestion, Li Qingluo politely paid his respects to Madam He.
"Luo'er meets my great-grandmother."
Madam He was looking at Li Qingluo with a kind face, but at this moment, a clear and clear voice came from the front: "Grandma——"
Madam He's face instantly lit up with a smile: "It's Brother Xun!"
Li Qingluo quickly retreated. By the time the young man got off the carriage, she had returned to Mrs. Pei and lowered her head slightly.
The young man seemed to have just arrived in a hurry.
When he got off the carriage, Mrs. Pei looked at him unintentionally.
After Xun'er politely greeted the elders, his gaze naturally fell on Li Qingluo: "Could this be my cousin Luo'er, whom I have never met?"
The only female relatives that the eldest branch of the Qu family brought with them today were Old Madam He and their two legitimate granddaughters.
The Li family's side is also simple, with only Madam Pei, Qu and Li Qingluo.
So it was not difficult for Brother Xun to recognize Li Qingluo at a glance.
Besides, she is so outstanding!
Among the girls who came around to rest, she was the most eye-catching, dazzling and stunning one!
Just half of her face is so stunningly beautiful that it makes people fall in love with her.
Moreover, she has an outstanding figure, which makes Xun Ge'er very satisfied.
Xun Ge'er stared at Li Qingluo but didn't dare to look at her any longer. He looked at his grandmother with a slightly red face.
Madam He smiled and said, "This is our eldest son, the second son of the family, and the fourth son of the family, Xun'er. Xun'er, that is indeed Luo'er. Why don't you go up and say hello?"
Qu Daoxun took a half step forward and bowed to Li Qingluo, "My name is Qu Daoxun, nice to meet you, Cousin Luo'er. Why didn't you see Cousin Luo'er come home on the second day of the New Year?"
"My brothers and sisters were all looking forward to meeting Cousin Luo'er that day."
Madam Pei was already unhappy: "Sunset was with me that day, so I didn't have much free time."
