From early this morning, the Tang family began to clean the house, and the servants in the house all put on new clothes. Starting from noon, the concierge of the house came to the house every quarter of an hour to report.
Everyone in the mansion is just waiting for the grandson of the Ming Dynasty Emperor and Prince Huaiyou to return from Yingtian City to Fengyang, the central capital, to pay homage to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty and enter the mansion to rest.
At this time, it was close to noon.
Tang He, Duke of Xin, who was over sixty years old and dressed in the red uniform of a general, could not sit still in the main hall of the front yard.
He called his concubine who was ranked... to come forward, supported him, and rushed out of the house.
The countless concubines frowned and complained: "Master, when the emperor's grandson enters the city, news will be sent home. You can just go out to greet him then."
Another concubine who was not listed on the side also said: "Master, you are the elder of the emperor's grandson. Even if you don't come out of the house to greet you, the emperor's grandson can't say anything."
Tang He, who was now an octogenarian, glared at the two concubines who were not listed in the list.
Stubbornly walked outside, muttering: "This is different! This is different! This time is different!"
The two concubines, who were numberless, just had to obey Tang He's wishes and help the old man to go out of the house.
Behind the three people were the descendants of the younger generation of the Tang family who were still alive in Zhongdu. There were more than ten people in the crowd, and they followed closely behind.
……
"Are you the Prince of Huaiyou County?"
In Fengyang City, a woman in light clothes who was also riding a horse followed Zhu Yunxi's team and confirmed in a low voice again.
Zhu Yunxi turned around, nodded, and looked at each other with a smile.
The dozens of carriages that entered the city together earlier have now gone their separate ways and gone back to their homes.
And he finally understood that these young ladies are indeed the children of the generals of Zhongdu. On weekdays, except for female celebrities, they go out to play in the city, imitating the behavior of their fathers and brothers at home. Under the leadership of this woman in front of him,
Practicing the art of military formation.
The woman in green shirt looked at Zhu Yunxi up and down with a bit of disbelief for a while, then looked back at the accompanying officials and sighed silently.
"Shouldn't the prince be so majestic that he can't even smile?" the woman in green shirt asked in a low voice. This was very different from what she had imagined.
Zhu Yunxi chuckled lightly: "I never thought that after I went to the generals, all men and women, regardless of gender, would be so heroic. The young lady is really a heroine. If she went to the front of the battle, she would definitely be a Mulan!"<
/p>
The woman in green shirt turned her eyes and looked particularly smart.
"Your Highness, are you saying that we little girls don't uphold the virtues of women? We only know how to fool around all day long."
Zhu Yunxi tilted his head: "I didn't say that."
The woman in green shirt rolled her eyes at him and hummed: "I heard that His Highness has never left the capital or led an army, yet he can still see our shortcomings today at a glance."
"That's because you are too impatient, little lady, and don't leave yourself some backup options." Zhu Yunxi said calmly, then turned to ask: "But, which uncle's family in Yingtian City does the little lady belong to? How come I didn't do that in the past?
Ever heard of it?"
The woman in the light shirt opened her mouth, but her delicate eyebrows were slightly raised, and she raised her head and turned away.
Sun Cheng, who was leading the way, also rushed over at this time.
"Third Master, Mr. Xin Guo's mansion has arrived. Mr. Guo and his people are waiting in front of the mansion."
Zhu Yunxi was slightly surprised and hurriedly followed Sun Cheng's guidance to look over.
I could see that the whole street was open to the front door of Duke Xinguo's mansion. At this time, the master's family and servants were already gathering in front of the mansion.
He hurriedly said: "Hurry! How can we ask Mr. Tang to wait in front of the house in person?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't expect that the woman in light clothes beside him had already made a sound of driving, rushed out of the team, and went straight to the front of Duke Tang's mansion.
He turned over and dismounted heroically, and stood firmly on the ground.
The servant in front of the mansion has already stepped forward to hold the horse's rope.
Under the gaze of Zhu Yunxi, who had just led people to the Tang Guogong Mansion.
The woman in the light shirt was already holding up the hem of her skirt and walked up the steps gracefully.
The two concubines who were supporting Tang He immediately said: "The eldest lady is back."
The woman in light clothes nodded and squeezed away two aunts who were not listed in the queue.
With a smile on his face, he bowed to Tang Hefu.
"My granddaughter has met grandpa. Today she and her sisters went for an outing outside the city. Unexpectedly, they met the team of the Prince of Huaiyou County, so he welcomed the team of His Highness to the house."
Tang He glanced at the eldest granddaughter's dress that had not yet dried, and glared pretending to be angry. Then he immediately reacted, pulled away the eldest granddaughter, and was about to go down the steps.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already led the accompanying officials to the gate of Tang Mansion.
Zhu Yunxi took the lead and supported Tang He steadily.
"Yunxi met Grandpa Tang. Did everything go well for Grandpa Tang in his hometown?"
After Zhu Yunxi met and said hello, the accompanying officials also bowed and said hello: "I'm looking forward to seeing Mr. Tang Guo, and he may live a long and prosperous life."
Tang He's face was filled with red light. He glanced across the face of his eldest granddaughter and looked at Zhu Yunxi who was standing in front of him: "Okay, okay, this old guy of ours is very good."
Zhu Yunxi was also quite surprised at this time. He glanced at the woman in light clothes standing next to Tang He and never expected that she turned out to be a girl from the Tang family.
What's more, I didn't expect that the girl from the Tang family who was like a general in the army outside the city would turn out to be a well-off and well-mannered lady when she returned to the house.
He spoke softly: "This time I left the capital and returned to Fengyang. Grandpa said that the palace in the city has not been very popular in recent years and will inevitably be deserted, so he asked me to stay at Grandpa Tang's house temporarily. I will have to trouble Grandpa Tang for a while."
Tang He smiled happily: "The emperor's grandson is staying at the old minister's house. It is an honor for the old minister and his family to have such trust from the Tian family. The family has packed up the emperor's grandson's residence. As for the accompanying ministers, over there at Fengyang Mansion
We’ve already arranged where to go, so it won’t be bad.”
The woman in a light shirt on the side stepped forward: "Grandpa, the family is generous to the banquet for the emperor's grandson and all the adults. It is probably ready by now. It's better to return home quickly."
"Ah, yes, yes!" Tang He was overjoyed because Zhu Yunxi had brought him. When he heard the hint, he immediately reacted and personally pulled Zhu Yunxi towards the house, not forgetting to point to the big man leading the way.
Granddaughter.
He introduced to Zhu Yunxi: "This is the eldest daughter of the Queqing Dynasty left by the eldest son of my family. During these days when the emperor and grandson are in Fengyang, he can ask her to handle anything."
Zhu Yunxi looked at Tang Queqing who was walking in front with a faint look: "The bright moon leaves the branches and the magpies are frightened, and the breeze sings the cicadas in the middle of the night. As expected by the elders, the lady will not lose the ladylike style of everyone, which will add to the heroic spirit of my general."
What he said was unintentional, but the listener also meant it.
Tang He only regarded it as an ordinary compliment from Zhu Yunxi.
But only Tang Queqing knew that he was leading the city general's young lady to practice military formations outside his city.
He couldn't help but turn his head secretly, and gave Zhu Yunxi a secret look.
