"You can inquire by yourself first, and I will help you. I will tell you when I have news." Mrs. Lu was afraid that her daughter was too young to inquire, so she prepared to help herself.

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 ask you, please help me to find out about the situation of the Dukes and uncles in the capital. Finally,

I wish I could have someone help me register 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 wants to start with the honorable noble.

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 about one by one and compile them into a book.

Grandma Lu looked at the list An Ran made and listened to An Ran's instructions. She couldn't help but praise: "Girl, this method is good. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. If you just listen, you will inevitably forget it after a long time. Girl, write it down."

, it’s 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 would 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 was dry. So every time she said it for half an hour, An Ran would let Nanny Lu rest for a while, and then look at it by herself.

That information.

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

She was so organized that Mother Lu couldn't help but praise Mrs. Lu in private, saying: "The second young lady is a successful person. Madam doesn't have to worry about the young lady being bullied if she enters the palace."

"Yes! I didn't expect this child to be quite 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 cope with 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 feels a lot 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 fifth-ranking wife. 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 needs to have experience in managing the back house of a wealthy family and pass it on to her daughter. It will definitely be useful to her daughter, but unlike now, she doesn’t have much useful experience.

Pass it on to your daughter.

The day will soon come when Mrs. Lu holds a banquet.

However, the Lu family’s courtyard is a bit small, so it’s definitely not possible for everyone to come at the same time. Mrs. Lu has no other choice, so she plans to open a running mat for a few days, and officials, nobles, clans, relatives and friends, etc., will do it separately.<

/p>

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

In the same way, nobles, clans, relatives and friends, etc. 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 by 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 they see the girl from the Lu family becoming 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 contact her more at this time. After all, since

If you want to win over or gain access to the Lu family, you have to do this naturally.

Naturally, An Ran would not refuse. After all, the current situation of the new emperor is not good. It is a good thing that someone is willing to take refuge. One more friend will 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, when someone gave her a gift and then met her, she couldn't ignore it, and she couldn't show off her face when they saw her, so there was nothing wrong with meeting people in a friendly way.

Yes.

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 she didn’t know that the person she was mocking was the deceased Empress Dowager Zhou, who was reborn. This would have kicked the iron plate and caused 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 lower levels of the Lu family may not be able to give gifts if they want to. That is to say, officials who are at the same level as 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 is mainly responsible for entertaining people who want to see him, while Lu Sanniang and other girls entertain the little girls who are waiting in the boudoir like them.

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

However, although Lu Sanniang accidentally caused this tragedy, to be honest, it is not to blame Lu Sanniang. Without her, who would have expected that someone would retaliate with hatred and even want to destroy your whole family if you just say a casual word.
