Chapter 397
Wang Yanqing was a little embarrassed, and said, "The Governor is busy with court affairs, and he is not in a hurry to have children. Children's affairs are fate, and fate will come naturally."
When the wives heard this, they followed suit and said, "Yes, my wife is still young, so I don't have to worry about having children. I heard that after the governor got married, he didn't even have a concubine by his side. The wife is young and favored, so it's not too soon to get pregnant. thing."
A few wives with less experience were startled when they heard this: "There is no concubine by the Governor's side?"
"No." The prefect said with a smile, "Mrs. Lu is five years younger than the governor, and she looks so beautiful. I feel pity for it. No wonder the governor is petted like a baby. Old men will hurt others, and Mrs. Lu's blessing. behind."
The female relatives were talking and laughing when suddenly there was a salute from outside, everyone was startled and hurriedly stood up.
Lu Heng walked in, followed by several officials. The prefect's wife did not expect Lu Heng to come, so she hurriedly asked for peace: "My concubine pays respects to Governor Lu."
Wang Yanqing followed the crowd to get up, other officials handed over to Wang Yanqing, Wang Yanqing smiled lightly. She is the second-rank Dudu's wife, and she doesn't need to salute anyone except Lu Heng.
Lu Heng nodded and smiled, there was no emotion in his eyes: "I saw that the second floor was empty, so I came over to remind everyone, didn't disturb you guys?"
The prefect's wife hurriedly smiled and said, "I didn't pay attention to the concubine. It turned out that the banquet was about to start. The governor sent errands to pass the letter, so why go there in person?"
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I can't let the young lady go, so I have to watch her in person."
When Lu Heng came in, Wang Yanqing felt that he was in a bad mood. Now that he heard him speak, Wang Yanqing was sure that he had indeed heard the words of the prefect.
Lu Heng smiled lightly, but his tone was a little harsh. The prefect's wife was surprised for a while, not sure what offended him. At this time, Wang Yanqing walked up to Lu Heng and quietly pulled his sleeve.
Lu Hengmian held back his anger and said calmly, "It's almost time, let's go down first."
Everyone should push each other and let Lu Heng and his wife walk in the front. Lu Heng supported Wang Yanqing's wrist, and the two walked down the steps side by side. Wang Yanqing approached Lu Heng by going down the stairs, and said in a low voice, "Why are you like a child, why are you angry?"
Lu Heng still gritted his teeth when he thought about it now: "It's okay to say that I spoil you, why do you mention that I am five years older than you? I still treat you like a baby, why don't they say that I treat you like a daughter?"
Wang Yanqing wanted to laugh, but she had a hunch that if she did laugh, Lu Heng would definitely have to regret it all night. Convenience with others is convenience with oneself, Wang Yanqing finally coaxed softly: "Okay, don't be angry."
Lu Heng took a deep breath and suppressed the smoldering fire in his heart. There is a difference between men and women, even if the banquet has separate seats for men and women, the officials crowded Lu Heng to the box, while Wang Yanqing and the prefect's wife turned to the other side.
The inn has long known that the prefect of Suzhou is going to have a banquet here, and the elegant seat was packed early. There are calligraphy and painting, flowers and incense in the box. When they were seated, everyone humbly gave in again, and finally Wang Yanqing took the throne, followed by the prefect's wife, and the others were seated in order according to their husband's rank.
Although it is a private box in name, it is actually very spacious. There is a grandstand in front and a river view in the back. Sitting here can have a panoramic view of the outside scene, but people outside cannot see them clearly, which is very pleasant.
The prefect's wife picked up the gilt-printed menu and asked Wang Yanqing to order. Wang Yanqing tweeted: "I don't know Suzhou cuisine, so I asked my wife to order some authentic Suzhou dishes for me."
Having said that, the prefect's wife was polite, and she was already doing her part to open the menu: "Then the concubine is arrogant."
During the singing and dancing in the restaurant, the back door of an inconspicuous courtyard in Suzhou was quietly opened by a crack. The people inside looked at it vigilantly and stepped aside: "Come on, it won't last long."
There were a few people in cloaks standing outside the door. They didn't speak, they bowed their heads in silence and quickly disappeared into the shadows. Zhu Yuxiu was folding the river lantern when suddenly someone knocked on the door: "Miss Zhu, are you there?"
Zhu Yuxiu opened the door and saw a group of people in black cloaks. She was startled: "What's wrong?"
The leader took off his hood, revealing a stern woman's face, and said, "Miss Zhu, we have just received a letter from the governor, and there is an internal response from the Jinyiwei. You are not safe here, and you need to transfer with us immediately. "
Zhu Yuxiu was stunned after hearing this, she was a little at a loss, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I'll go back and pack my things."
"No need, our people will come to pack our luggage soon. It's not too late, Miss Zhu will come with us."
Zhu Yuxiu knew that Jin Yiwei did things in such a mysterious style. She had nothing to say, just closed the door and let them go. The woman handed Zhu Yuxiu a cloak and said, "Miss Zhu, please put on a cloak for concealment."
Zhu Yuxiu asked, "Where are my grandmother and the others?"
"Mrs. Zhu has someone else to answer. Hurry up, there's no time."
Today's Qixi Festival, the streets are very lively with people coming and going, but Zhu Yuxiu was pulled and stumbled through the festive crowd, as if running counter to the bustling world. The woman in front made her feel a little bit in pain, she frowned, and was about to remind the woman to be gentle, but she saw the woman stopped by a carriage, pushed Zhu Yuxiu hard, and said, "You are not out of danger, you are not out of danger yet. Just stay in the car and don't make a sound."
