Chapter 364 Planning
Tang Luwu took the jade pendant, turned it over and looked at it, and Wei Zhaoyan's flamboyant and enthusiastic look emerged in her mind.
She took the jade pendant and went to the study. Just as she was about to go in, she heard Tang Yichen talking to his follower Shen Yu, and they were still talking about official business. So she did not rush in to disturb them, but waited at the door.
After they finished discussing their official business, Tang Yichen asked about the recent movements of the two young girls in the mansion.
"I heard from Miss Zhilan, who is beside the Second Miss, that they are going to attend the poetry banquet of Miss Zhu, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, tomorrow."
"Tomorrow's poetry banquet is prepared for Miss Zhu to meet someone. There will definitely be many young talents appearing." Tang Yichen said, "We can choose one for Lu Wu from them."
"Hasn't there been a master who has shown his good will to you recently, intending to marry you?"
"Those people are not worthy of Lu Wu." Tang Yichen frowned. "You can see why they are showing their affection, how can I not see it? A bunch of flatterers want to marry my sister? However, I have my eyes on one person, but he has no intention in this regard."
"Master, are you talking about Lord Han?" Chen Yu asked, "Lord Han is indeed a gentleman, but he was once hurt by his wealthy fiancée, so I'm afraid he has no interest in marriage."
"His fiancée is blind, but not every woman is so unvirtuous. As long as he has met Lu Wu, he will know that she is a rare good girl. Don't worry, Lu Wu is still young, we can arrange it slowly."
"The master only mentioned the eldest lady. The second lady is half a year older than the eldest lady. Why don't you find someone for the second lady?"
Tang Yichen was silent for a long while, and then he said in a low voice: "Yinyin has Aunt Li to worry about, and her marriage is not something I can decide. Luwu is my biological sister, and I must consider her more. But now I am just paying attention to her in advance, which does not mean that I have to marry her off in a hurry. My sister will not have trouble finding a good family, and I would rather she stay in the mansion to live."
Tang Luwu turned and left. Minghui lowered her voice and said, "Miss, aren't you going to give the jade pendant to the master?"
"Let's do it another day. I won't disturb you today." Tang Luwu returned to her room.
She put the jade pendant into the box in the secret compartment beside the bed.
"Miss, this is the clothes you will wear tomorrow. Take a look at them." Mingjing showed her the fumigated clothes.
"Okay." Tang Luwu said, "You all can leave. I need to rest."
After the maid left, Tang Luwu tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
Her elder brother was actually already choosing a good man for her. She felt horrible at the thought of marrying into another strange family and having children with a man she didn't know very well.
The next morning, Qin Huiyin was ready to go, but she did not see Tang Luwu.
"Su Jin, go see if the eldest lady has arrived. I didn't see her eat breakfast this morning, and she hasn't shown up at this time. Could she have encountered some difficulties?"
"Here it comes." Zhilan said from the side.
Qin Huiyin raised the curtain and looked outside. She saw Tang Luwu running over hurriedly with her skirt lifted up, and shouted, "Don't worry, it's still early."
Tang Luwu got on the carriage and sat next to Qin Huiyin, panting and saying, "I didn't sleep well last night, so I got up a little late this morning."
"Are you worried about what happened today?" Qin Huiyin asked, "If you really can't help it, I'll listen to you next time there's a party like this. If you don't want to go, then don't go. The most important thing is to be happy."
"I know you want me to grow up."
The carriage was already moving forward.
Qin Huiyin took out some jerky from the grid and asked her to eat something.
Tang Luwu pinched the meat jerky and ate it, saying incoherently: "I can't always be a child who needs to be taken care of. I am the older sister."
"Okay, sister, eat more." Qin Huiyin said, and said to the driver outside, "Stop in front."
"What's wrong?"
"The bakery in front is pretty good. I tried it and it's not inferior to Luo's Bakery, and the taste is very different. You didn't have breakfast, so of course I have to fill your stomach."
That kind of poetry gathering is not a place to have a meal. They would inevitably go hungry and have to deal with people who are curious about them.
"In fact, I found a shop that sells delicious sesame cakes, but they have a strong smell, so I can't give them to you. Let's go eat them ourselves next time."
"Yinyin..."
"Hmm?" Qin Huiyin was looking outside when she suddenly saw a man and said to the driver, "Stop for a moment."
The carriage stopped.
Qin Huiyin picked up the bag beside her, got off the carriage, and walked towards Song Ruize opposite: "Brother..."
When Song Ruize saw her appear, he looked around and saw many surprised looks.
He grabbed a veil from the stall next to her and put it on her, saying unhappily, "I told you to wear the veil properly, why didn't you listen?"
"It's on the carriage. I just want to talk to you for a few words. Is that not possible? This capital city is full of dangers. Is it worth you being so nervous?" Qin Huiyin was upset because Song Ruize scolded her.
She stuffed the bag she was carrying into his arms and turned to get on the carriage.
Song Ruize: "...My temper is getting worse and worse."
Jiang Qibin came over and said, "What is it? Food?"
"All you do is eat. Just now, that old man Li and Aunt Wang started fighting again. Why don't you go and deal with it quickly?"
"Boss, is this a trivial matter that is worth our personal involvement?" Jiang Qibin lamented, "This military department sounds glamorous, but why is it more laborious than the officials in the county government?"
"If you go to the military headquarters of other cities, you won't have to deal with such trivial matters, because the people don't dare to go to the military headquarters for such trivial matters. But, it's because our brother Ze has won the hearts of the people."
Song Ruize opened the package and found a pair of new shoes.
"Isn't this too beautiful?" Jiang Qibin said, "I can guarantee that this is definitely not a style from Beijing. I'm afraid it was designed by your sister for you."
"Not only did she design it herself, she probably also made it herself." Jiang Qingnan said nearby, "The embroidery skills are naturally not as good as those of experienced embroiderers. However, you can tell at a glance that she put a lot of effort into it."
"I want you to talk more." Song Ruize said.
"Brother Ze, you seem to have offended Miss Huiyin just now. Have you thought about how to appease her?" Jiang Qibin asked, "She gave you a pair of shoes, but you were so mean to her in front of so many people!"
"She's dressed like this today, I'm afraid she's going to have another party." Song Ruize said, "Send someone to the Tang family to ask where she's going today."
"No need to ask, I know." Jiang Qibin said, "The Zhu family of the Minister of Personnel held a poetry gathering and invited many unmarried young men and women to attend. They just wanted to find an excuse to meet each other."
"She's dressed so beautifully. If someone takes a fancy to her, won't she be harassed again?" Song Ruize frowned. "Go and find out who will be attending the banquet today."
Jiang Qingnan and Jiang Qibin looked at each other.
According to their observations, Qin Huiyin did not dress up deliberately today, but just tidied up a little, which was considered to be decent and not rude to others. But her face was too bright, even if she was wearing beggar clothes, she was still the best-looking beggar, which could not cover up her temperament at all.
