"Come here, please send my mother back to rest first." Guan Yupeng raised his voice and ordered the servants in his courtyard, "It's getting late, and my mother should rest early and rest. There are still many things to do tomorrow."
After hearing her son's eviction order, she felt a little confused on her face, but after taking a look at Xian Ziyi, who was still unconscious on the bed, she still chose to leave. She took her slave's arm and slowly walked out of Guan Yupeng's courtyard, thinking about it all the time.
How to do it one step at a time.
"Mother." Guan Yucheng happened to come back from outside. He got off the carriage. When he saw his mother, he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "You have gone to see your elder brother."
Mrs. Guan looked at Guan Yucheng and thought that her husband-in-law had a beautiful woman outside and gave birth to a son. However, both sons were kept hidden from her. The eldest son had just returned. He had been away from the border and rarely came back. She knew it later.
It was forgivable, but this little son stayed by his side all the time and didn't even talk to him. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and glared at Guan Yucheng bitterly.
"Yucheng, do you know that your father has a crush on a woman outside and gave birth to a son?" Mrs. Guan's voice was a little annoyed, "Why didn't you tell your mother?"
Guan Yucheng was stunned for a moment, with some surprise on his face. He glanced at his elder brother Guan Yupeng's courtyard subconsciously, and said with a smile: "Mom, where did you hear the news? How is this possible? My father is an official in the court and has many things to do.
There are some social events outside, and you have to be more tolerant of some women."
Mrs. Guan almost cursed, "Be more tolerant, to the extent that he gives birth to an illegitimate child for Lao Buzun outside? Tell Wei Niang, does he have other women, and other women have given birth to sons and daughters for him?"
Guan Yucheng knew that he couldn't explain at this time, so he immediately changed the subject, "Today, my son received a letter from Princess Hanyu, saying that after Prince Yu returned to the palace, he told the Queen Mother about my marriage to her. Prince Yu said that you take care of the Guan Mansion.
Yes, it's just that there are more things to do, but you are the only one. The marriage of Princess Hanyu is a big event, and it is related to the reputation of the palace, so you must be more careful. Although Xian Ziai comes from a merchant's family, the Xian family has always provided clothes and accessories for the palace.
, Prince Yu said that he wanted the Xian family shop to prepare wedding clothes for Princess Hanyu, but Princess Hanyu was a golden girl and it was not easy for her to appear in public. There were two young ladies and a young master in the house, so she could only deal with two young ladies. The Queen Mother
The empress prefers the second young lady Xian Zijuan, but the person Xian Zijuan is marrying is Xuan Yi, the eldest son of Prince Xuan's palace. Prince Xuan's status is special and it is difficult to force her. Xian Zijuan is also the daughter of the Xian family, so they can meet with Princess Hanyu to discuss the needs.
clothes. So I have to trouble Xian Zi Ai to go to the palace tomorrow."
Mrs. Guan was a little angry, "Why is it this bitch again!"
Guan Yucheng smiled slightly and said: "This is the intention of the Queen Mother. She loves Princess Hanyu the most. Naturally, she hopes that Princess Hanyu will marry her. You are not familiar with the Xian Family Shop, so why not let Xian Zi Ai come forward to deal with the Xian Family Shop? Thanks
It belongs to our Guanfu, but the hard work belongs to her."
Mrs. Guan did not speak. At this time, she could only express her acceptance by silence.
"Should I talk to my eldest brother, or should I talk to my eldest brother?" Guan Yucheng asked softly.
"That bitch fainted from hunger." Mrs. Guan said angrily, "She just didn't eat three meals a day, but she fainted from hunger. Your elder brother was very annoyed and scolded my mother! I'm angry, you
Go talk to your elder brother, I don’t want to see that bitch succeed."
"Having fainted from hunger?" Guan Yucheng was stunned, "You put her in solitary confinement and didn't ask anyone to send her food and tea? You are an elder, how could you do this? It's normal for the elder brother to be angry. She will definitely blame you for only loving the child.
But I don't care about him. My eldest brother has been at the border all the time, and it is his contribution to the stability of the customs. Even if you don't like Xian Ziai, you should be more tolerant. She is just a merchant's daughter, what can you do?"
Mrs. Guan nodded, "Yes, your eldest brother is angry about this."
"Then let the kid go." Guan Yucheng said softly, "The eldest brother is angry. You are the elder, and it is not good to let the eldest brother talk about it. The eldest brother is now poisoned and cannot have children of his own. He is already depressed. Mom, I will have to be more accommodating in the future.
They are a couple."
Mrs. Guan let out a long breath and did not speak for a long time. She only waved her hand and signaled Guan Yucheng to tell Guan Yupeng about letting Xian Ziai go to the palace to discuss wedding clothes with Princess Hanyu.
Several slaves in Guan Yupeng's courtyard saw that it was Guan Yucheng, the second young master. Just when they were about to speak to the eldest young master inside, Guan Yucheng waved his hand, indicating that he could just go in. When they walked to the door, they vaguely heard a low voice inside.
The conversation sounds seemed to be between his eldest brother and Xian Ziyai. Xian Ziyai's voice was a little hoarse and weak.
"Zi Ai, you finally woke up, what do you want to eat?" Guan Yupeng asked gently, "My husband is not at home to make you suffer. This kind of situation will not happen again in the future. My mother is also busy with Yu Cheng and Princess Hanyu.
The marriage was just a temporary neglect, so don't take it to heart. When you were in a coma, your mother was here and she felt very guilty. When she left, she repeatedly asked me to take good care of you."
"It's Zi Ai who failed to live up to expectations." Xian Zi Ai's voice was slightly trembling and crying, "It made my husband and mother-in-law worried. My mother-in-law was busy with her brother-in-law's marriage, and she also had to take care of Zi Ai and the people in the house.
The young lady wants her mother-in-law to take care of her, Zi Ai is really unfilial."
"It's okay." Guan Yupeng held Xian Ziyi in his arms and said comfortingly, "It was just a momentary negligence. You should recover soon. There are still many things for you to do tomorrow. My husband has many old acquaintances in the capital these days.
If you want to visit, I will trouble you to do anything that my husband needs to take care of in the marriage between Yu Cheng and Princess Hanyu. If you don’t know how to do it, you can ask your mother, or ask me directly."
"Zi Ai remembers." Xian Zi Ai sighed softly, "Zi Ai is really useless, let your husband worry. Zi Ai must do her best, her mother-in-law is for the whole Guan Mansion, Zi Ai is useless, her mother-in-law is anxious because Zi Ai is ignorant
, Zi Ai will learn these as soon as possible so that she can help her mother-in-law."
Guan Yucheng coughed outside and raised his voice slightly, "Brother, are you resting? It's me, Yucheng, I need help from my sister-in-law for something."
"Yucheng, I haven't rested yet, come in." Guan Yupeng let go of Xian Ziyi and let her lie down, tucked her into bed, then walked out of the inner room and lowered the curtain, "It's so late, is there something wrong?"
Guan Yucheng smiled slightly and said: "I just met some friends and drank some wine outside. On the way, I received a letter from Princess Hanyu to me, asking my sister-in-law to go to the palace tomorrow. She wants the Xian family shop to come forward.
It will take a few days for my sister-in-law to prepare wedding clothes for her."
