After rebirth, the female supporting role only wanted to have a grand funeral

Chapter 8 Looking at each other

Lu Yinghuai came back shortly after leaving. He said that the table was ready and asked her and Xue Chen to come and take a seat.

On the way to the yard, Xue Shu really learned a lot about the skills of her second cousin. His mouth was even worse than that of Qingyu, and he didn’t speak without taking a breath.

It's so shameless to talk about your heroic deeds and talk about yourself as if you were a god of war who descended to earth that day.

Xue Shu knew that her second cousin was highly skilled in martial arts, but she didn't expect that he was also so sharp-tongued.

Along the way, her ears almost felt like cocoons. When she saw Xue Lu, she immediately felt like she had seen a savior. She walked over in three steps and two steps, and sat down next to Xue Lu obediently.

Quietly he breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the seat for the female family members. It was not suitable for the three brothers of the Lu family to stay here for a long time. They just told Xue Shu to eat and drink as much as she wanted, and then walked away without looking back.

"Huh..." Xue Shu let out a long breath and said helplessly, "I have learned how powerful my second cousin is today."

Mrs. Zhenbeihou also laughed when she heard this, and said boldly: "If you find him annoying, just tell him to shut his mouth. There is no need to be polite to him!"

Normally, when Xue Shu heard this, she would reject it repeatedly and say some polite words, but this time, Xue Shu pondered for a moment, and then nodded decisively: "In this case, I will not talk to the second cousin.

You’re welcome, brother!”

She really didn't want to experience the magic sound filling her ears again.

The banquet started with Mrs. Zhenbeihou laughing.

As soon as the banquet was opened, music began to play. The female servants in bright clothes were busy serving food and drinks. Occasionally, they made a few sounds of clinking porcelain, which was also very pleasant. Everyone took up their chopsticks, pushed cups and changed cups, and sat down.

The place was very lively and full of laughter.

Xue Shu was sitting next to Mr.

They exchanged glances secretly, and then acted as if nothing had happened.

The meal lasted lively for half an hour. After the meal, everyone could wander around in the yard or sit and chat with the host. They were free to choose.

Xue Shu had never been to the Hou Mansion a few times in her two lifetimes, and she had long heard that the osmanthus flowers in the Hou Mansion were very good. Naturally, she wanted to get up and walk around. Mrs. Zhenbei Hou called her three sons.

Ask them to accompany Xue Shu.

At the end, he added one more sentence, telling Lu Yingyuan to keep his mouth shut, otherwise the Marquis of Zhenbei would come over in person to tell him to shut up.

Lu Yingyuan firmly covered his mouth on the spot, indicating that he would just follow quietly and never speak.

The back garden of the Hou Mansion is huge, without too many complicated decorations, and it is more transparent and bright, making people open-minded.

In this huge backyard, apart from a lake formed by running water drawn from outside the city, there is also an endless grassland, all planted with various kinds of osmanthus trees, including gold, silver, osmanthus and red osmanthus, and many of them are not even Xue Shu.

The most valuable species I have ever seen.

Standing on the edge of the grass, Xue Shu finally understood what she had missed all these years.

"Isn't this sweet-scented osmanthus forest pretty good?" Lu Yinghuai said with a hint of smile, "You don't know, in order to find those rare sweet-scented osmanthus trees, the three of us didn't go home for more than half a year, so we came from all over the place.

I found many valuable and good seedlings everywhere."

Xue Shu sighed and said, "My brother is right. I have really suffered a loss these years."

"That's all. Just come here often in the future," Lu Yingche said with a smile. "In my opinion, I might as well just stay at home these days. We can go together on the day of the palace banquet, so that I can meet my friends."

you."

"Don't bring your little friends to Shu'er." Lu Yinghuai said as he led Xue Shu forward, leaving his two younger brothers behind.

Lu Yingyuan and Lu Yingche looked at each other, then turned away their heads in disgust and followed Xue Shu in the yard.

The four of them walked together, attracting the attention of many ladies who were wandering and playing in the yard.

The Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion is already extremely prestigious. All the three sons of the Lu family are the best among men. Mrs. Marquis of Zhenbei is also bold and bold. If she can marry into such a family, her future life will be harmonious and beautiful. Not only will she enjoy endless wealth

With glory and wealth, you might even get a royal title in the future, which would be a great honor for your ancestors.

However, none of the three sons of the Lu family are easy to get close to. Even the second son, who seems to be easy to get along with, is actually hot on the outside and cold on the inside. It is okay to exchange pleasantries and laugh when they meet, but it is absolutely impossible to have a deep relationship with them.

I have never seen the three of them so amiable before, as if they are really the big brothers next door, giving people the illusion that they are very easy to get close to.

There are also many brave ladies who want to get closer, but before they get close, they always turn around, and their rejection is obvious, so the ladies have to go back the same way, pretending that nothing happened.

The way it happened.

After walking slowly in the courtyard for an hour, the guests began to leave one after another. When Xue Shu saw that Mrs.

Okay, let’s continue enjoying the flowers leisurely.

After walking around the courtyard, Xue Shu returned to the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion.

Today, there are many distinguished guests in the mansion. In order to prevent collision, most of the female envoys brought by the guests are waiting outside the mansion. At this time, the guests have dispersed, and Qingyu was picked up by the servants of the Hou Mansion.

Xue Shu was admiring flowers in the backyard and couldn't find anyone, so she followed Xue Lu all the time.

Seeing that Xue Shu had finally come back at this time, Qingyu quickly left Xue Lu and took two hurried steps to support Xue Shu. She didn't care that the three young masters of the Lu family were still there and started to whisper: "

Girl, why have you been gone for so long? After walking so much, be careful if your legs get sore tomorrow - hurry up, let's go to the back, I have to rub it for you quickly."

Lu Yinghuai frowned, thinking that he was really negligent today.

Even if Xue Shu is happy, he should remind Xue Shu to take a rest.

Fortunately, Xue Shu had a careful female servant by his side, otherwise if Xue Shu was really tired, he would blame himself to death.

Xue Shu was half-dragged and half-pushed behind the screen by Qingyu. Madam Zhenbeihou looked at the little girl's anxious look and couldn't help but laugh: "Sister, the maid you found for Shu'er is quite good.

."

"I didn't choose this," Xue Lu said, shaking her head with a smile, "Shu'er chose it herself."

"Hey, my Shu'er is so discerning at such a young age?" Mrs. Zhenbei Hou raised her eyebrows and looked at Xue Shu with admiration. She took a sip of tea and talked about business again, "Now that Shu'er has reached hairpin age,

We have to start seeing each other, and if we do it earlier, we will also have time to see the character of that family."

Back then, Mrs. Xue Lu was entrusted with wrongdoing. She married a husband who was quite talented, but his character was a mess, and she missed her life. Such a tragedy would never be allowed to happen again in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

Hearing this, Mrs. Xue Lu also nodded and said: "I also have this intention, but...the family may have other plans for Shu'er. If I come forward, it may be difficult to succeed."

Mrs. Zhenbei Hou nodded and said: "Don't be afraid, our Zhenbei Hou Mansion will handle this matter. I think the harem banquet in the two days will be a perfect opportunity. You should pay attention then, if you like it.

If so, just draw up a list for me and I’ll ask someone to check it.”

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Mrs. Xue Lu and Mrs. Zhenbeihou had the same idea. They smiled knowingly and each picked up a cup of tea.
