Chapter 167 Solicitation

Lu Siwei looked at the barbecue on the side, with a bit of longing in her big eyes, but her sister on the side held her little hand, and could only turn around and leave greedily.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chensheng secretly shook his head in his heart, not intending to get angry with such a little girl.

"It's all here, let's stay and have something to eat."

Lu Chensheng greeted.

Hearing this, Lu Siwei looked up at his sister anxiously.

Seeing this, Lu Qingke wanted to refuse, but seeing her younger sister, she couldn't bear to refuse.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, he knew his face and set up a position for the two of them to come over.

Seeing this, Lu Qingke could only walk over with the eager Lu Siwei.

"Try it."

The few skewers in Lu Chensheng's hands were baked together, and they were distributed to several people one by one and said something.

Lu Siwei's big eyes were full of longing, she had never seen such a thing, but the smell should be good.

"Thank you brother!"

Compared to Lu Qingke, Lu Siwei on the side didn't have so many scruples. After yelling sweetly, he lowered his head and started to eat.

Hearing Lu Qingke's call, Lu Chensheng smiled and didn't say anything.

"Here's wine, would you like some?"

Qiongyue was kind to others, looked at Lu Qingke at the side and said.

Hearing this, Lu Qingke glanced at the purple wine beside her, hesitated for a moment, thinking that she should be fine at home, so she nodded.

"Siwei wants to drink too."

Seeing Lu Siwei, he also felt a bit greedy.

Lu Chensheng turned his head and looked over, "What kind of wine do children drink?"

The faint words, without a tone of reprimand, made Lu Si slightly shrink his head in fright, and responded with a grievance.

Qiong Yue glanced at Lu Chensheng angrily, "What are you doing to a child."

Lu Chensheng was helpless, how could he be cruel to her.

"Didn't you bring a drink? Give her some."

Lu Chensheng remembered that at that time, several carriages loaded with large and small bags were pulled over, probably some drinks were also brought.

Chu Wu heard the words and immediately turned around to get it.

After a while, a glass of bubbling drink was placed in front of Lu Siwei.

Lu Siwei looked a little curious, and after taking a sip lightly, a crystal light shone in his dark eyes.

"What is this?"

Lu Qingke had never seen such a thing before, and after taking a look at it now, she asked curiously.

"A kind of water with more taste, you can understand it like this."

Chu Wu replied, and then poured Lu Qingke a glass for her to taste.

Lu Qingke also took a sip of the drink, and his eyes lit up immediately. This thing really has a special taste.

"How about it, let's drink it."

I met you on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and said with a bit of show off.

Lu Qingke nodded, and Chu Wu said, "Young Master made it up. In his spare time, Young Master likes to make these food."

"But, how can a scholar..."

Lu Qingke was a little puzzled, she didn't quite understand how a scholar made these things.

She had heard it before, but she had never seen a scholar like this before, and she was a little stunned when she saw Lu Chensheng playing with it just now.

"You are just the hobby of being a son."

Hearing the words on the fifth day of the fifth day, he didn't explain it. After getting along for a long time, the other party will know that Lu Chensheng is very different.

Lu Qingke nodded silently.

"Eat."

Lu Chensheng grilled a few more skewers, put them on a plate and delivered them to the table.

Lu Chensheng already had a bunch of them in his mouth and began to eat them.

"Young master, let's go out to have fun during the Lantern Festival."

On the fifth day of the fifth day of the lunar new year, she looked at Lu Chensheng with some anticipation. She used to be alone by herself, begging for food on the street, but now she followed Lu Chensheng.

She felt that she could go out and have fun.

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng took a look at Chu Wu, "Then let's go out and play."

You can indeed go out to have fun during the Lantern Festival. After all, Lu Chensheng has never seen what the Lantern Festival is like in the imperial capital.

But thinking about it, it was still extremely lively.

Seeing Lu Chensheng nodding in response, the fifth day of the lunar new year was overjoyed.

...

"This young master of the Lu family is very favored by his father."

In the Prince's Mansion, a man in a bright yellow robe said calmly while looking at the book in his hand.

"It looks like this, but it's not surprising. After all, the Lu family has paid so much, and now there is only one heir."

A long-bearded man on the side heard the words, nodded and said something.

"It's just that I'm a little too stupid. I have caused so many troubles just after I arrived in the capital. I'm afraid many people have already looked at it displeased?"

The prince shook his head and said something.

The staff at the side thought for a while and said, "His Royal Highness, I think it is still possible to win over this person, no matter what the person is, what His Royal Highness needs is Zhongshuling.

With Zhong Shuling's current attitude, it seems that as long as he wins over this son, it is equivalent to winning over Zhongshu Ling. "

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually didn't really want to win over the young master of the Lu family.

The staff knew this, because what Lu Chensheng did was a bit too much in the eyes of the prince, and if he was drawn into his own camp, he might damage his reputation.

The prince has always kept himself clean and self-sufficient, and flaunted himself as a modest gentleman. This is also a character set that was engraved early on.

Befriending the young master of the Lu family, even if it will be criticized.

Hearing the words, the prince frowned slightly, and there was a look of displeasure between his majestic brows.

He didn't like Lu Chensheng very much, and he didn't like what the other party did, but now the staff asked him to do it like this, which threatened his reputation a bit.

"His Royal Highness, after all, Zhongshu Ling stands behind this son, if he turns against the second prince..."

Seeing the prince's displeasure, the staff hurriedly said something.

The prince fell silent when he heard the words, and after thinking for a long time, he opened his mouth to speak.

"Have someone send an invitation card, that is, invite him to a banquet on the Lantern Festival."

There is some truth in what the staff said. The prince thought about it carefully, and felt that some actions were still needed.

Hearing the words, the staff immediately breathed a sigh of relief, agreed and went down to do it.

On the other side, the Second Prince was fishing.

The old man on the side bowed aside, "Your Highness, I think this young master of the Lu family still needs to be recruited. If he has the support of Zhong Shuling, His Highness will be more useful as a supporter at that time."

The second prince was still fishing, so he nodded at this moment.

"Well, I still like this son's behavior style very much. Go send an invitation, and then lead him to attend the poetry meeting of the Lantern Festival at Brother Huang's."

The corner of the second prince's mouth curled up slightly. In his normal life, his brother likes holding poetry meetings very much, so as to attract those poets.

This time, he wanted to prepare some gifts for the other party.

Hearing the words, the old man immediately agreed and then turned around and went down.

Chapter 168 Shangyuan Festival

"Young Master, the two Highnesses sent people here, saying that they want to invite Young Master to a banquet during the Lantern Festival."

Lu Chensheng was still in the room, the servant hurried in and talked to Lu Chensheng.

Lu Chensheng was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then frowned.

"You went and refused."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand, the two princes are looking for him at this time, and they can know the purpose without even thinking about it.

It's nothing more than thinking that he can win him over, and then take advantage of the situation to pull the Lu family to his side.

No matter who Lu Chensheng agreed to today, it will be regarded by the other one as taking refuge in the other party.

The servant immediately went down after hearing this, but didn't say anything else.

"Husband, wouldn't it be better to reject the two princes so bluntly?"

Qiong Yue listened to these words and looked at Lu Chensheng worriedly.

Lu Chensheng shook his head when he heard the words, "Don't worry, Zhongshu Ling has been able to maintain his neutrality for so long, they definitely have wooed them in private, but since they haven't been wooed, my refusal is probably expected by the other party. "

It was originally a neutral party, so it was expected that they would reject the two of them.

At the very least, it was better than agreeing to one of them.

If they reject one of them, but agree to the other, that will make them bear grudges.

Hearing what her husband said, Qiongyue felt that it made sense, and immediately relaxed a little.

Although she is a master, she is not very clear about the affairs in the court, but she just thinks that she should not be hated for rejecting the two princes so bluntly.

The attendant who came to invite Lu Chensheng got a quick reply and went back to report.

The two princes also quickly got the news that they had been rejected, and after a little stunned, their faces returned to calm.

This was originally expected by them.

Originally, he just thought that Lu Chensheng had not been in the emperor for a long time, and he had acted so rampantly, maybe he had some chances.

But looking at it now, either this person has been taught by others, or this person also has some wisdom.

With the backing of Zhong Shuling, in fact, it is not a bad thing for the other party to remain neutral.

Lantern Festival can also be called Valentine's Day.

The women in the boudoir to be married have already started dressing up early in the morning, applying rouge, and choosing suitable clothes requires some effort.

Lanterns had already been hung outside Lu's house. There were all kinds of lanterns, and there were various auspicious patterns on the outside of the lanterns.

When night falls, the lights are brightly lit.

The daughters of Qiongyue are also ready, and they are going to go out to play together.

It's just that when he just arrived at the door, Liu Wensheng came to the door. Seeing that Lu Chensheng was about to go out, Liu Wensheng also seemed extremely happy.

"Brother Lu, don't you mind enjoying the lantern together?"

As he spoke, Liu Wensheng called out to Qiongyue to his sister-in-law again.

Qiong Yue gave a slight blessing and saluted.

"Let's go together then."

Lu Chensheng didn't have any other ideas, as soon as Liu Wensheng came, he would enjoy the lantern together.

Walking to the street, Lu Chensheng soon saw all kinds of lanterns, more numerous than those of the Lu family.

As far as the types are concerned, there are countless, and the shapes or patterns of the lanterns have all been played with tricks.

You can see a lot of women on the street, but most of them are wearing masks.
