Anyway, in their impression, the youngest son of the Ji family has always looked very good, but seeing him now is even more amazing.

But those young people are different. Even the cousins ​​of the Lu family couldn't help blushing when they saw Lu Xinglin, and their voices softened a bit, for fear of scaring Lu Xinglin. him.

As for the others, they couldn't even get close, except for those who were close to their families, they were all stopped.

"Lu Sanlang, what do you mean by that? We are all family friends, so why not have a chat with the young man of the Ji family!" A young man of the Pei family was dissatisfied with being blocked by the Lu family and unable to get close to Lu Xinglin. road.

The Pei family and the Lu family belong to the same family, and the relationship between the two families has always been good.

The remaining two are the Cui family and the Lin family, but the Cui family and the Lu family do not get along, so they are far away from the Ji family, so they did not come here from afar.

On the contrary, the young masters of the Lin family, who had been neutral all the time, couldn't help coming over to try to make friends with Lu Xinglin after seeing Lu Xinglin.

"Mr. Xiao Lang hasn't come to the palace banquet in recent years, so he must not be familiar with this place. We are family friends, so naturally we should spend more time with him." Lin Erlang, the head of the Lin family, also echoed.

Although the young gentlemen of the Lu family can stop other families, they cannot stop the Yao family.

A young man from the Yao family who looked slightly older than Lu Xinglin came over, hugged Lu Xinglin and said with a smile, "Ah Ze, long time no see, you look even better now than before."

"Brother Shuo..." Lu Xinglin said helplessly.

Although his tone was helpless, but after the elongated and indistinguishable voice, it was like icebergs melting snow, mountain streams and clear streams, and there was a bit of coquettishness in the coldness, which made people's heart tremble.

Yao Shuo originally liked beauties, but now he is called Brother Shuo by Lu Xinglin, it's really...

In his own words, even if he died for the beautiful cousin at that time, it was worth it.

Lu Xinglin, who was just a little helpless at first, has become speechless now. He still underestimated the preference of people in this world for beauties.

But thanks to his face, this palace banquet did not cause any trouble to each other.

Not only the two elder brothers have been guarding him, but also the cousins ​​of the Lu family and the Yao family.

He made friends with the Ji family, and the children of the aristocratic families headed by the Pei family wanted to hang around him all night, even the gentlemen of the Jiang family and Lin family, one of the three ancient families who had always been neutral, did the same.

Even several princes came forward to say hello to Lu Xinglin, who was so pleasant, including the future husband of the son of luck, Guan Miao.

This made Ji Tao tease Lu Xinglin on the way back, saying that if he knew that his younger brother was so attractive, he should have released him earlier.

Anyway, after the palace banquet, the reputation of Jize, the young master of the Ji family, spread throughout Shangjing.

Everyone who has met him said that the young man of the Ji family is as bright as the moon among the clouds and as cool as the snow on the top of the mountain.

After returning from the palace banquet, Lu Xinglin fell asleep right away, no matter how healthy he was, he couldn't hold on to the feast all night, and he had to go through his mind three times even to say a word, it's really not a human life.

Before going to bed, Lu Xinglin really missed the leisurely life at the hot spring village.

I thought I could wake up later on the first day of the New Year, but last night everyone observed the New Year's Eve, that is, he was not in good health, so he was allowed to go to bed early.

However, as soon as it was dawn the next day, Lu Xinglin was called up.

"What are you doing up so early?" Lu Xinglin didn't want to leave the warm bed wrapped in a brocade quilt with animal skins inside.

"In a few days, there will be other offshoots coming to the lineage for a hundred years. You need to get up earlier. The eldest lady has already sent someone to urge the young gentleman." Zhu Yu also got used to his own gentleman's laziness during this time, and persuaded him softly. road.

"Then get up." Lu Xinglin sighed and got up from the bed.

When I went to the palace banquet yesterday, Lu Xinglin was wearing a green shirt with flowing cloud patterns embroidered with silver thread, very elegant.

Today is the first day of the new year, so it is natural to dress festively.

Zhu Yu and Ting Yu brought up several sets of festive clothes for Lu Xinglin to choose by himself. He took a cursory glance, and finally chose a red-based robe with a picture of flying cranes and falling feathers embroidered on it. It was also replaced by a red cloak embroidered with the pattern of flowing clouds piercing the moon.

Originally, his face was a bit pale, but after wearing the red shirt, he became even paler, and his originally deserted appearance became a bit more beautiful.

Even Zhuo Yu and the others who had been by his side were stunned for a while, not to mention the sweeping servants along the way, they all looked stupid and didn't realize it until they were far away.

When she arrived at Lu's side, she was about to have breakfast, she was taken aback when she saw Lu Xinglin coming over, and then ordered the servants around her to add more bowls and chopsticks.

When Lu Xinglin just got up, he was still not in good spirits and had no appetite, so he simply ate a few mouthfuls and put down his chopsticks.

Seeing that he had a bad appetite, Mrs. Lu couldn't help worrying.

"Is it because the food doesn't suit your appetite? I'll ask the small kitchen to prepare what you want to eat." Lu asked with concern.

"No need, I just don't have much appetite at first." Lu Xinglin shook his head.

"Then I'll ask the small kitchen to prepare some pastries for you. Whenever you're hungry, I'll ask someone to pick them up." Lu said.

Most of these snacks are recipes provided by Lu Xinglin, and some of them are researched by the chefs themselves after learning how to evaporate noodles. They all taste very good.

After breakfast, Ji Han and his wife, Ji Tao, and Ji Yu all came to pay New Year's greetings.

The family chatted for a while before going to pay New Year's greetings to the old man and the old lady.

When Lu Xinglin came back, he had already met the two old people. They still liked Lu Xinglin, the grandson of the elder son's family very much.

In addition to the long house, the two elderly people also have two uncles of Lu Xinglin and several uncles who were concubines.

The status of children born in this world is not high, it can even be said to be very low.

At this time, to be a concubine is to be enslaved, and it is no joke that concubines are in business.No matter how high your status was in the past, if you become a concubine, it is equivalent to handing over your wealth and life to the mistress.

It is also because the mother is a slave who can be bought and sold at will, so the status of the bastard is higher than that of the servant, and it is even inferior to some personal servants who gain face in front of the master.

Just like now, when everyone pays New Year's greetings to the old man and the old lady, these juniors, including the six or seven-year-old cousin of the third room, have seats, but the uncles of the concubine can only stand, and they still stand. behind the seat.

As for their concubine's children, they don't even have the qualifications to come to pay New Year's greetings.

By the way, Lu Xinglin only found out today that his father had other concubines' children when his brothers and sisters who were concubines came to give to the Lu family for a hundred years.

The original body didn't have these memories at all before. I don't know if it's because I haven't seen them, or I didn't remember them at all.

In the following time, Lu Xinglin followed the two elder brothers and the other two cousins ​​in the main hall to help greet the clansmen who had come for a hundred years. As for the older sisters and the other cousins, they followed the Lu family to receive the mistresses of the side branches.

According to the customs of the Zhao Dynasty, the first day of the new year is the time for the same clan to pay New Year's greetings, the second day of the new year is for relatives or family friends, and the third day is for ordinary family contacts or exchanges between juniors.

The Ji family is a big family, and there are many talents in the side line. These people are received by Ji Huan, the head of the family, and Ji Han, the eldest son.

Lu Xinglin and the others, led by Ji Tao, received the juniors who followed.

With Lu Xinglin present, each of these juniors behaved very politely. A group of people ate snacks, drank tea and chatted together, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Even as Ji Tao mentioned before, those who have a bad relationship and would bicker when they meet each other can get along peacefully with each other, and they don't see any disharmony in their relationship.

The juniors and elders ate lunch separately, Ji Tao made the decision, and everyone had a hot pot meal.

Considering that some people don't like spicy food, Lu Xinglin specially ordered the kitchen to make a mandarin duck pot.

However, he underestimated these teenagers. They were not used to each of them at the beginning, but after eating for a while, they became addicted. Even a few who obviously can’t eat spicy food would rather drink water than eat. Beside the consommé pot.

After a meal, these teenagers reluctantly left.

The way they looked back three times at each step made the elders of each family feel a little itchy.

The situation on the second day was similar, except that there were more people.

In Ji Tao's words, there were not so many people in the first place. After all, many juniors don't like running around to pay New Year's greetings.

Generally, except for the eldest son or grandson of each family, other lords can freely choose to come or not.

However, ever since they met Lu Xinglin at the palace banquet, everyone was looking forward to arriving early in the second day of junior high school. Those who were unwilling to run around in the past were all waiting in the carriage early at this time, for fear that they would not take him with them.

Ji Tao naturally didn't give a good face to these ulterior motives.

But everyone didn't care about it at all, no matter how cold he was, they still moved towards Lu Xinglin one by one.

After all, they are the children of the aristocratic family, all of them are very versatile, even if they are close to beauties, the chats are all elegant things like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or appreciating flowers and tea.

It's also thanks to Lu Xinglin's experience with a lot of things in the world that he has a profound background, otherwise he might not be able to withstand it.

It's just that, apart from his appearance, all the children of the aristocratic family were amazed by his talent and erudition, and they became even closer to him.

Compared to an idiot beauty with nothing but looks, the unparalleled young man who is naturally talented and beautiful makes them even more heartbroken.

Of course, the heartbreak here is just admiration in the heart, and the meaning of wanting to make friends with him, there is no blasphemy.

Love of beauties is also the ethos of the entire Zhao Dynasty. Here, if you look good, you will naturally get a lot of preferential treatment. This is something everyone is used to and takes for granted.
