Luo Shuyu couldn't help but glanced at the two children, Mrs. Wei said with a smile: "I just want the children to come and meet the third imperial concubine, so that they can learn the demeanor of the third imperial concubine."

Luo Shuyu smiled: "These two children make the atmosphere become cheerful, Qingwang, bring them a plate of freshly baked snacks, it's cold outside, there is still some time before the banquet starts, don't starve the children. "

    Qing Wang: "Yes."

    The two fulangs of the Wei family were a little surprised, they didn’t expect Luo Shuyu to directly take special care for their children. In fact, as a ger, it was really rare for them to be the wife of the two sons of the Wei family in the north. Now, the third prince and his imperial concubine who was also a ger had come, and they were actually a little excited today. Yes, the purpose of bringing the children here was actually very simple, to let them see the demeanor that a ger from a big family should have.

    Indeed, they would know as soon as the third imperial concubine made a move. It was true that he had an unusual demeanor, generous, gentle, and had a unique charm in every gesture.

    Luo Shuyu treated the two children well, because they were quite courageous among these children, and there was no flinching in their eyes, but it had nothing to do with their gender. Presumably, the Wei family had taught them well, after all the Wei family could produce a concubine, that was, their little uncle, Concubine Wei.

    Since the last time after participating in the plum appreciation banquet held by the first imperial concubine, Luo Shuyu hadn’t been surrounded by the crowd for a while, but he was used to it. He listened to them talking about the interesting things in Gucheng, and added a sentence from time to time .

    After a while, the servants reminded Luo Shuyu that the Governor's wife was here.

    Luo Shuyu was a little curious about the Governor's wife. Both he and Li Mingjin had some doubts about Governor Zhu, but the people who went to investigate came back and reported that the relationship between Governor Zhu and his wife was harmonious, and they had two children. Although he took concubines, but there were only two, which were very rare among the current officials.

    Hearing the words the Governor's wife, everyone differed.

    Luo Shuyu's hearing was not bad, and he heard a lady whispering to another lady next to her, "Why is she here?"

For a moment, the lively atmosphere became quiet.

    Li Mingjin had inquired about the Governor's house, and Luo Shuyu knew a thing or two about the situation of the Governor Zhu's house. This Governor's wife was neither aggressive nor mean. Why did everyone feel so strange about her arrival?

Governor Zhu was the official who managed this place anyway, everyone should be friendly to her

    Luo Shuyu remained puzzled after pondering over this matter a hundred times.

[百思不解 bǎi sī bù jiě: to remain puzzled after pondering over sth a hundred times (idiom); to remain perplexed despite much thought]

    However, when he was puzzled, the Governor's wife came in with a beautiful girl. Although the girl half bowed her head, he could find that she was very beautiful.

    They saluted Luo Shuyu directly, and Luo Shuyu asked them to stand up and sit down: "Mrs. Governor, please sit down."

    The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Mrs. Wei broke the embarrassment at this time, and the atmosphere began to warm up again.

    Luo Shuyu treated all of them equally. He was new here, it was reasonable to say that he shouldn’t know about the contradiction between the wives. Of course, at first he didn't know the details, but everything still depended on the performance of the wives at the scene, who was more familiar with whom, it was clear at a glance.

    Obviously, not only the generals’ wife had a good relationship with the Wei family, but the officials’ wife also had a good relationship with them. If only their skill was extraordinary, but on the contrary that one might expect they didn't seem to have any, but the Governor's wife suffered a cold reception.

    Why?

    Luo Shuyu suppressed his doubts for the time being, and chatted with them about the interesting things about the capital, or listened to them talk about the different customs between Gucheng and the capital.

    when it was almost wushi, Luo Shuyu specially prepared some delicacies for the banquet and delivered them to the table.

[午时 wǔ shí: 11 am-1 pm]                                                                                                          

    All the wives, ladies and gers were fascinated by the delicacies on the table. Compared with the rough and wild ones in the north, the dishes in the Third Prince's Mansion were too exquisite.

    However, even though there was joy in the eyes of the wives, it was not good for them to act excessively in front of Luo Shuyu.

    There were not only delicacies, there were also singing and dancing, which were also released recently, for the ladies to enjoy their eyes.

    When everyone was watching intently, Feng momo quietly walked to Luo Shuyu's side and whispered something in his ear.

[嬷嬷 mó mo: (dialect) elderly lady; wet nurse]

    It was Chen Rong who was recuperating in his courtyard who asked Feng momo to give him the news . He left the banquet for the time being and went to the side hall.

    As soon as he entered the door, he saw a disheveled woman kneeling on the ground, standing beside Chen Rong, Lin Yuan, and several stern-looking momos.

    Today happened to be the day when Lin Yuan came to give Chen Rong a follow-up consultation.

    Luo Shuyu knew what was going on when he saw the woman on the ground, but he still couldn't guard against it. Fortunately, Li Mingjin was not at the mansion today, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain anything.

    Luo Shuyu asked someone to lift the woman's face, and with his photographic memory, he recognized who she was at a glance.

    It was the girl brought by Mrs. Governor today.
