Chapter 147 Celebration
Xiang Zhu bowed slightly and asked softly, "Madam, if there are outsiders visiting, how should we deal with it?"
Lu Yundi frowned slightly, with a shrewd look in his eyes: "When a foreign guest comes to visit, we must treat him with courtesy, but don't get too close. Remember, the reputation of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion is our reputation. You must always remember your status and don't be disrespectful."
Xiang Zhu smiled slightly, feeling relieved.
At this time, a light breeze blew through the garden, causing the leaves to rustle. Ziyu came over, holding a plate of freshly picked fruits in her hands, and carefully placed it in front of the lady.
"Madam, these grapes were just picked this morning. Please try them." Zi Yu said, her eyes full of anticipation.
Lu Yundi gently picked up a grape and put it in her mouth. The sweet and sour juice spread on the tip of her tongue. She nodded slightly, expressing her approval of Ziyu's attentiveness.
"Zi Yu, you are becoming more and more careful in doing things." Lu Yundi praised.
Ziyu blushed and said modestly, "Madam, you are too kind. This is what I should do."
"Madam, is there anything big happening in the mansion recently?" Xiang Zhu asked tentatively.
Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of depth in his eyes: "You don't have to worry too much about the affairs of the mansion. As long as you do your own duties, I will know what to do."
Xiang Zhu nodded slightly, but secretly worked harder in his heart.
Although the lady looks relaxed, she must have many plans in her mind.
As the night deepened, the lanterns in the garden swayed slowly. Lu Yundi stood up and said to Xiang Zhu and Zi Yu, "It's getting late. You've worked hard. Go to bed early."
Xiang Zhu and Zi Yu hurriedly responded, but in their hearts they were deeply grateful for the lady's care.
……
Early the next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Xiang Zhu got up early and began to get busy.
She pushed open the door of the wife of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's mansion and called softly, "Madam, it's dawn."
Lu Yundi slowly opened his eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "Xiang Zhu, thank you for your hard work. Do you have any plans for today?"
Xiang Zhu smiled and replied, "Madam, today is the celebration of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, and everyone in the mansion is busy. I have already asked the servants to prepare breakfast. Madam, after breakfast, you can go to the garden to enjoy the flowers."
Lu Yundi nodded gently and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you then. Go and prepare, I'll go later."
Xiang Zhu left the room, and Lu Yundi got up to change her clothes. After she finished combing her hair, she walked to the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror, feeling that time flies.
Soon, Xiang Zhu came into the room carrying a bowl of steaming porridge. She placed it on the table and said with a smile, "Madam, breakfast is ready. Please enjoy it."
Lu Yundi looked at Xiang Zhu and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This girl has been loyal and diligent since she followed her. She couldn't help but ask: "Xiang Zhu, you have been by my side for several years. What kind of wife do you think I am?"
Xiang Zhu's eyes widened, and she replied shyly, "Madam, you are gentle and virtuous, and you care about everyone in the mansion. I feel that it is my blessing to be able to follow you."
Lu Yundi smiled and said, "Your words always make people feel warm. Okay, let's eat."
After they had breakfast, Lu Yundi took Xiang Zhu to the garden. In the garden, flowers were in full bloom, birds were singing, and flowers were fragrant. They strolled along the flower path, enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Xiang Zhu suddenly stopped and pointed to a tree in the distance, saying in surprise: "Madam, there is a strange bird on that tree. Its feathers are colorful and very beautiful."
Lu Yundi followed Xiang Zhu's finger and saw a colorful bird perched on the tree. She smiled and said, "It's a phoenix, the treasure of our Zhongyong Marquis Mansion."
Xiang Zhu's eyes widened and he said excitedly, "Really? Madam, then our Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion will definitely have good luck."
Lu Yundi nodded gently and said, "Yes, this phoenix indicates that our Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion will be more prosperous."
Soon, the celebration of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery officially began. The house was decorated with lanterns and filled with guests. Lu Yundi, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, personally presided over the celebration. She led Xiang Zhu and other maids to warmly welcome every guest.
The celebration was in full swing, and Xiang Zhu's busy figure was moving among the crowd.
……
Lu Yundi sat on a rosewood chair, her eyes revealing worry and expectation. Her son Yan Canglan stood beside her with a serious expression, while Master Wu Yao Dingtian stood respectfully below.
Lu Yundi sighed softly, turned his gaze to Yao Dingtian, and said slowly: "Dingtian, you are a smart person. You should have understood what I just told you."
Yao Dingtian nodded slightly, his expression firm: "Madam, rest assured, I will keep it in mind. Young Master Yan is gifted, I will do my best to help him."
Yan Canglan heard this, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, but he remained calm and asked: "Mother, do you really believe that Yao Dingtian can help me achieve success?"
Lu Yundi smiled gently, her eyes full of love: "Lan'er, don't you still believe in your mother's judgment? Although Yao Dingtian is young, his martial arts talent and the way he deals with people make me think that he is your best assistant."
Yao Dingtian's eyes flashed with gratitude. He knew that it was not easy for him to gain the trust of Lady Yan. He looked up at Yan Canglan and said sincerely, "Mr. Yan, although I am not qualified to be your assistant, I will do my best to help you. Please rest assured."
Yan Canglan nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He knew Yao Dingtian's strength very well and had some trust in him. But he still wanted to test Yao Dingtian's determination, so he said, "Master Yao, do you know the purpose of my trip?"
Yao Dingtian pondered for a moment and replied, "I guess that Master Yan must be on this trip to find the legendary magic weapon to help the Western Wei Dynasty unify the world."
Yan Canglan's eyes flashed with approval, and he said, "Yes, I am doing this for this purpose. But this magical weapon is not easy to obtain. Do you have the confidence to help me succeed?"
Yao Dingtian answered without hesitation: "Although I dare not speak rashly, I will definitely do my best to help Master Yan achieve his wish."
"Dingtian, do you know where this magical weapon is?"
Yao Dingtian pondered for a moment and replied, "I have heard that this magical weapon is hidden in a mysterious valley thousands of miles away. But I don't know the exact location."
Yan Canglan smiled slightly and said, "If that's the case, then let's go look for it together. I believe that with you by my side, I will definitely be able to find this magical weapon."
A trace of gratitude flashed in Yao Dingtian's eyes. He raised his glass and drank it all with Yan Canglan.
As the night deepened, the moonlight in the courtyard of the Yan Mansion was as peaceful and beautiful as water. Yan Canglan and Yao Dingtian stood side by side, like brothers.
