Chapter 303: Visiting the Prime Minister’s Mansion Again
Lu Sheng, who came to the Prime Minister’s Mansion for the second time, was no longer as anxious as she was the first time.
The banquet was held in Prime Minister Fu’s courtyard. It was in Matriarch Fu’s courtyard previously.
As they had invited Ye Luo, Prime Minister Fu had long gotten someone to prepare good wine.
This time, Matriarch Fu and Mdm Fu were present, but they did not see Fu Yiyi and Fu Sisi.
From the moment Lu Sheng entered, her gaze landed on a pot of white plums on the table.
“You like it?”
Chu Sihan followed her gaze and looked at the pot of white plums. He thought that she had taken a fancy to them and hurriedly asked in a low voice.
Unexpectedly, she asked in a low voice, “That basin should be worth a lot of money, right?”
If she was not wrong, that basin should be made of jade.
Chu Sihan was speechless.
He thought that the girl liked flowers like other girls. Who knew that she would like that jade basin…
“That was given to Uncle by His Majesty. If you like it, I can tell him.”
“Ah… I’m afraid that’s not too good, right? Aren’t imperial gifts not to be given casually?”
This old man was quite generous to his subordinates.
“It’s just that they can’t be sold casually. They can still be used as ornamental items.”
Lu Sheng shook her head. “Then, I don’t want it.”
These items that could not be exchanged for silver were useless to her.
“Everyone, take your seats!”
Matriarch Fu greeted her with a smile and even made Lu Sheng sit beside her.
“Why didn’t I see Miss Sisi?”
After Lu Sheng sat down, she asked Matriarch Fu in a low voice.
“That child locked herself in her room and hasn’t been out for two days.”
Matriarch Fu sighed faintly. Mdm Fu, who was sitting at the side, had an awkward expression.
After Prime Minister Fu returned today, he told her about their children.
Now that she thought about it carefully, she was indeed less concerned about her daughter.
She had been talking to Fu Sisi for the past two days, but she still ignored her.
“Want a cup?”
Chu Sihan lifted the wine pot and asked Lu Sheng softly.
She nodded slightly. “Okay.”
When Matriarch Fu saw this, she smiled and said, “Pour a cup for Grandmother too.”
Chu Sihan nodded slightly and poured a cup for each of them.
Lu Sheng took a sip and realized that the wine was sweet and not strong.
Mdm Fu smiled and explained, “This is fruit wine, so it’s suitable for ladies to drink.”
Lu Sheng smiled at her and nodded.
Matriarch Fu said, “It’s almost the new year. Grandmother got someone to prepare some New Year goods for you. Remember to bring them along when you go back.”
Chu Sihan nodded slightly.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Thank you, Matriarch!”
“You’re welcome! Hurry up and eat it while it’s hot.”
The more the Matriarch looked at Lu Sheng, the more she liked her.
The first time she saw her, she thought that she was a quiet person. The second time she saw her, she realized that not only did she like to smile, but she also spoke calmly.
One could tell that she was a sensible child.
Her grandson had good taste.
She would definitely not be interested in someone like Fu Yiyi, who was only half as good as she looked.
She would never agree to her being her grandson’s concubine, let alone marry him.
Her grandson was such a good person. She could not let those shameful things harm him.
Speaking of which, she still had to thank the State Minister for finding such a good girl for her grandson.
“Come, eat more!”
Upon thinking of this, Matriarch Fu picked up her chopsticks and gave Lu Sheng a piece of meat.
“Thank you Matriarch, you eat too!”
At the side, Ye Luo was also whispering to Chu Sihan and Prime Minister Fu.
Prime Minister Fu knew that Ye Luo was not interested in the affairs of the Imperial Court, so he only chatted with him about matters of the pugilistic world.
