"Alright, Assistant Minister, thank you for your trouble," Lu Shuyu replied, waving her hand. "No worries, no worries. I wanted to have a drink with you, but now that there's an issue to handle, I'll have to come another time."
Saying that, Xiang Weinan turned and left with Hu Li.
Lu Shuyu watched them leave the crowd and then turned around, leading her entourage back home.
The onlookers were dazed, and it was only after the group had entered the house that a buzzing discussion erupted.
Some even approached the Lu family to ask about the situation and expressed their desire to join the celebration.
Ying Dong stood at the door, firmly and kindly declining their requests, and only allowed the Lu family's guests to return.
Meanwhile, Ding Yuehua stood at the door with a frown, looking intently in a certain direction.
Kong Zhiguo originally wanted to get closer to Shu Yu, but there were too many people around her, and the Lu family members surrounded her, pushing her out.
If it weren't for the maidservant Qiuju holding her, she might have stumbled.
She felt increasingly irritated by these uneducated and impulsive villagers, but she took a deep breath and followed inside.
Upon seeing Ding Yuehua standing there, she stopped and reached out to pull her, "Yuehua, why aren't you going inside?"
Ding Yuehua finally looked away, thinking that today was Shu Yu's coming-of-age ceremony, and regardless of other matters, she had to wait until the day ended. She had memorized the words her mother-in-law said, and she would have a chance to talk to her in the evening.
Taking a deep breath, Ding Yuehua smiled and said, "Come, let's go inside."
She led the way, and Kong Zhiguo followed closely. After a few steps, she asked in a low voice, "Yuehua, do you know how Lu Xiangjun got acquainted with the two important figures from the capital?"
Ding Yuehua shook her head, "I'm not entirely sure, but they should have met in the southwest. Why do you ask?"
"It's nothing, I'm just surprised. My husband will participate in the county examination in two years, and if he succeeds, having such connections would relieve all our worries."
Ding Yuehua chuckled, "I'm surprised too. I didn't expect even the emperor to send gifts to Ah Yu. That's a huge favor." She became a bit excited as she spoke, "When I saw County princess Zhang arrive earlier, I was really worried, but it seems I worried too much."
Now that it seemed County princess Zhang wouldn't be able to make a fuss about the white horses, the horses were free for Shu Yu to purchase.
Thinking about this, Ding Yuehua's mood couldn't help but improve.
"We've probably suffered a big loss this time," Kong Zhiguo said.
As they spoke, they arrived at the front hall, which was already crowded with people, and the Lu family was surrounded in the middle.
Kong Zhiguo looked up and saw that it was impossible for her to squeeze in.
She said to Ding Yuehua, "Lu Xiangjun's birthday feast is really lively. It will be my birthday next month, and I originally planned for a simple family dinner. But now, seeing this scene, I feel that a birthday celebration should be lively. I also plan to host a banquet. Yuehua, you must come."
"That's only natural," Ding Yuehua replied with a smile.
"But what do you think, if I invite Lu Xiangjun, will she come?"
