After entering, Su Jinyue and the others soon arrived at Lu Shi's room.

The bride was dressed in a pure black dress with a light red hem. She wore a golden hairpin on her head, looking bright and elegant.

"My daughter greets His Excellency the Imperial Master."

Su Jinyue reached out to help Lu Shi up, and looked up and down at the bride's attire curiously.

Without a veil or a round fan, she faced her friends and relatives so openly.

"Beautiful, you sisters are all beauties."

Lu Xi covered her lips and chuckled, her face flushed with shame.

The eldest sister of the Lu family was silent. She took a bowl of warm tea from the servant and handed it respectfully to Su Jinyue. Then she smiled and returned to her original seat, lowering her head to listen to everyone's conversation.

Su Jinyue took a sip of tea, put the teacup aside, and then spoke: "Are you going back to Pei County?"

Lu Xi shook her head gently and whispered, "I'm not going back. My mother-in-law and uncle have come to Xianyang. I'll live there from now on."

Thinking that they and their husband were going to the Western Regions together, Su Jinyue was silent for a moment, then raised her hand to call Tan.

"Go and bring the gifts and make up the bride."

"Yes, master." Tan leaned forward slightly and walked out the door quickly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the gifts arrived. It was a box full of hairpins, rings, and brocade clothes, which dazzled the young girls in the house.

With bursts of sweet laughter, Ji Shi soon came closer.

Amid the noise of a crowd, Fan Kuai walked into the inner courtyard of Lu's mansion to welcome his bride.

This was the first time Su Jinyue met Fan Kuai.

The famous Marquis of Wuyang in history was brave and resourceful. He came from a humble background and made a living by killing dogs. He saved Liu Bang from danger several times.

Fan Kuai was now dressed in wedding clothes, with a black crown on his head, a dark top, a purple skirt, and red double-soled shoes. He had a stout figure and a simple and honest face.

He looks like an honest man.

"Auntie, I'm here to pick you up."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a huge booing inside and outside the house.

Lu Shi shyly put her hand in Fan Kuai's hand, and walked out of the house step by step under everyone's gaze.

The hall is brightly lit with red makeup, and the flowers and the full moon are in full bloom.

Amidst the chorus of bells and drums and the sounds of elegant music, a newlywed couple entered their bridal chamber amid the congratulations of the crowd.

Su Jinyue watched the excitement for a long time and finally got to enjoy the feast as she wished.

Emmm...

How to say it~

A lively meal is better than nothing.

Being able to invite students from Xindongfang to be the chef is the Lu family's greatest sincerity.

This was only possible because of Lu Zhi's status. Ordinary people could not afford it.

As the lights came on, Su Jinyue sat at the very top table in the banquet hall, thinking she was being very low-key.

The guests around did not think so. They knew very well that Su Jinyue had an extraordinary status. If they could get close to her and say a few words to her, and become familiar with her, they might be noticed by the Imperial Master and rise to a high position.

So, everyone had their own ulterior motives, their eyes full of eagerness and anticipation, and their feet unconsciously moved towards Su Jinyue.

Lu Zhi and her siblings were very perceptive. They looked at each other, nodded, and then tacitly looked in different directions.

Whenever someone tried to approach Su Jinyue, Lu Ze would take a step forward enthusiastically, take the initiative to chat with the person, and then calmly push the person back.

Everyone was smart and quickly understood what the Lu family meant, and retreated back to their original positions in embarrassment.

There were some self-important people who were unwilling to accept the situation but did not dare to act rashly and could only watch from a distance.

Su Jinyue watched the farce and felt secretly amused, and was also happy to have some free time.

She picked up the soup bowl in front of her, took a sip, and let the spicy yet sweet fish soup spread on her tongue, her thoughts drifting away.

The New Year is approaching and her eldest brother is getting married. What wedding gift should she give him?

While thinking, Lü Zhi carefully approached her and asked softly, "My lord, Xiao He, the internal historian, wants to come and toast. Would you like to meet him?"

Su Jinyue was slightly stunned. Xiao He?

This guy is quite a shrewd person. What does he want from me?

"can."

At the command, Lu Zhi immediately stepped back to lead the way for Xiao He.

Xiao He, who was in his thirties, had a thin face and wore a blue shirt. Although it was simple, it could not hide his outstanding character.

He followed Lu Zhi to Su Jinyue's desk and bowed respectfully, "Master Imperial Master, I beg your pardon for Xiao He's intrusion."

Su Jinyue gently put down the spoon, her beautiful eyes gazing at Xiao He, a faint smile on her lips: "Mr. Xiao, you must have something important to discuss. Sit down and talk."

When the people around saw Su Jinyue treating Xiao He so differently, they couldn't help but whisper to each other, wondering what kind of ability Xiao He had to deserve such an honor.

The Lu Zhi brothers and sisters also frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt and vigilance in their eyes.

They stood quietly by, listening attentively.

"Lü Zhi, you all come too, sit down and talk."

"Yes, thank you, sir."

After everyone sat down, they relaxed and drank tea and chatted.

Lu Zhi waved gently to the side, and the servants immediately came forward and quickly cleared away the leftovers. In a moment, they brought back plates of exquisite fruits and snacks.

Each snack was small and exquisite. Su Jinyue was delighted by the sight and couldn't help but pick up one and eat it comfortably.

Xiao He straightened his clothes, put on a faint smile, looked at Su Jinyue sincerely, and told her the purpose of his visit.

"I deeply admire the greatness of your heart for the people of the world. However, the Ministry of Commerce has been established for several months, and people everywhere still lack land and food, and there are very few people who read."

Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows. Did Xiao He see that she was determined to help the farmer's son learn to read and go to school?

Right!

If Prime Minister Xiao can't even see this, he is not a model of a wise prime minister.

"Oh, what can you do?"

Xiao He paused slightly, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip to moisten his throat, and seemed to be considering his next words.

"Although people's livelihoods have improved, the interests of various parties are intertwined and the forces are intertwined. It is difficult to implement it from the court down."

"You are brave!"

Su Jinyue slammed the table and glared at Xiao He angrily.

That's how Daddy scared her.

She learned it very well, hehe~

Xiao He hurriedly stood up and saluted, but he did not admit his mistake. He only continued, "I think that we can only do the affairs of the court from the outside to the inside, in the name of a powerful person."

The entire area around the table was as if in a vacuum, completely silent.

Lu Zhi's brothers and sisters had already stood up from the table with Xiao He, standing with their hands hanging down, not daring to speak.

This Xiao He is too bold.

How dare you say such rebellious words here?

In fact, everyone else in the banquet hall was secretly watching this side.

Although they could not hear the words of the people in the first place, when they saw this scene, they all knew that the State Master was angry.

Everyone silently stopped chatting, and slowly, the entire banquet hall became silent.

"Ah……"

Su Jinyue chuckled, picked up her chopsticks, and pointed at Xiao He, "You, come to Yuehua Palace tomorrow."

After saying that, she threw down her chopsticks, stood up and strode out.

Seeing this, Shi Nu Dan and Tan immediately trotted behind Su Jinyue to protect her safety.
