Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

"You should inquire by yourself first, and I will help you. I will tell you when there is news." Mrs. Lu was afraid that her daughter would not be able to inquire because she was young, so she prepared herself to help.

Naturally, An Ran would not refuse Mrs. Lu's kindness. After all, she often walked outside and must know more than a boudoir girl like herself, so she agreed immediately and led Grandma Lu back.

After bringing Nanny Lu back, An Ran said to Nanny Lu: "I am going to start with your honor, so I would like to help you to find out about the situation of the Dukes and uncles in the capital. I want someone to help me register in a book so I can look through it."

In fact, it stands to reason that she should first learn about it from the officials with real power. This is what she should grasp first. However, An Ran needs to know the news about Yong Dinghou first, so she said that she wants to start with Xungui.

At that moment, An Ran asked Mei Xiang to bring a pen and paper. She made a list and asked Nanny Lu to fill in the items she wanted to know one by one and compile them into a book.

Grandma Lu looked at the list An Ran made and then listened to An Ran's instructions. She couldn't help but praise: "Girl, this is a good method. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. If you only listen to it, you will inevitably forget it after a long time. Girl, write it down." , it’s really a good idea to read it from time to time so that you can remember it firmly.”

An Ran smiled and said, "Yes, I was also afraid that I would hear too much news at once and not be able to remember it, so I wanted to write it down."

After receiving her instructions, Nanny Lu sent someone to inquire. Some of them did not require inquiring, as Nanny Lu also knew about them. For this part, An Ran recorded it while listening to Nanny Lu's introduction, and then discussed it with the original person. Corroborated by physical memory.

The original memory also has some memories of various families in Beijing, but it is not comprehensive. What she wants now is a comprehensive memory.

An Ran asked Nanny Lu while taking notes, but she couldn't keep asking. After all, after talking for a long time, Nanny Lu's mouth would be dry. So every time she talked for half an hour, An Ran would let Nanny Lu rest for a while, and then look at it by herself. those information.

Although her main target is Marquis Yongding, she naturally wants to know about the others so that she can have a picture in mind in the future.

She was so organized, and Nanny Lu couldn't help praising Mrs. Lu in private, saying, "The second young lady is a successful person. Madam, you don't have to worry about the young lady being bullied if she enters the palace."

"Yes! I didn't expect this child to be smart." Mrs. Lu said happily.

You must know that after this big happy event, Mrs. Lu has been worried that her daughter will not be able to handle the job of the queen, and has been worried that she will be bullied in the palace. After all, the current situation is quite complicated. After her daughter enters the palace, although She is a queen, but the emperor himself is a puppet, and the palace is full of regents, so it is difficult to say that she will not be bullied.

Now that she knows her daughter is so organized, to be honest, Mrs. Lu is relieved. Of course, she is not completely relieved. After all, the palace is the most complicated place in the world.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but feel a little sad. She hated that she was no more than a wife of a fifth-rank official. She had too few contacts with the upper class, and she was not from a wealthy family. Otherwise, if she had experience in managing the back house of a wealthy family, she could pass it on to her daughter. , after all, the back house of a wealthy family is also very complicated, almost the same as the palace. She must have experience in managing the back house of a wealthy family and pass it on to her daughter. Her daughter will definitely be useful, but unlike now, she doesn’t have much useful experience. Pass it on to your daughter.

Soon it was time for Mrs. Lu to hold a banquet.

However, the Lu family's courtyard is a bit small, so it would be impossible for everyone to come at the same time. Mrs. Lu had no choice but to open a flowing mat for a few days, and the officials, nobles, clan, relatives and friends, etc., would do it separately.

Officials have also been distinguished, and senior officials, mid-level officials, low-level officials, etc. are all working separately.

In the same way, nobles, clans, relatives and friends are all like this. As long as they can't be done in one day, they will be done separately according to certain rules.

This operation lasted for ten days, which shows how many people came to the Lu family to give gifts during this period. It is no wonder that Mrs. Lu is rich and would give An Ran more banknotes from time to time. Of course, at the same time, It also shows how small the Lu family’s yard is.

Although it is small, the Lu family has no plans to buy a new house for the time being, because they will soon be granted the title of Marquis Chengen, and the Tian family will grant them a house then. There is no point in buying a new house.

There are many people coming to the banquet. After all, those who are willing to give gifts to the Lu family mostly want to win over or get involved with the Lu family because the girl from the Lu family has become the queen. In this case, they will naturally come when the Lu family holds a banquet. .

Of course, there is another reason why I came, that is, I plan to see An Ran casually before she enters the palace. I plan to see her more and keep in touch with her at this time. After all, since If you want to win over or climb into the Lu family, you have to do this naturally.

Naturally, An Ran would not refuse. After all, the new emperor's situation was not good now. It was a good thing that someone was willing to take refuge. One more friend would open up a new path.

As for whether her friendly conversations with these people would alert the Regent, she didn't think she had to worry. After all, she couldn't ignore people who gave her gifts and then met her. Can.

But this banquet is not a simple banquet.

At this banquet, something will happen that will lead to the destruction of the Lu family.

It sounds terrible, but... when it happened, it was just a small thing, a small thing that no one thought was a problem - after all, it was just a young girl mocking another young girl. , but little did she know that the person she was mocking was none other than the dead Empress Dowager Zhou, who was reborn. This would have kicked the iron plate, and then led to the tragedy of annihilation.

But he said that this day was a banquet for officials at the same level as Mr. Lu, and these people were also the ones who gave the most gifts. After all, people with a higher level than the Lu family did not necessarily have so many people give gifts at will because they had to stand in line; People with a lower level in the Lu family may not be able to give gifts if they want to. That is to say, officials at a similar level to Mr. Lu give the most gifts.

Because there were too many people, the Lu Mansion was short of manpower, so An Ran, Lu Sanniang and other little sisters were also pulled out by Mrs. Lu to entertain the guests.

Of course, An Ran was mainly responsible for entertaining people who wanted to see him, while Lu Sanniang and other girls entertained the little girls who were waiting in the boudoir like them.

While Lu Sanniang was entertaining these little girls, she unintentionally provoked the Queen Mother Zhou who was reborn after her death, bringing tragedy to the Lu family.

However, although Lu Sanniang accidentally brought about this tragedy, to be honest, it is not the fault of Lu Sanniang. Without her, who would have expected that others would retaliate with hatred and even want to destroy your whole family if you say a casual word. ?
