As soon as Xu Ying arrived, she stayed at the Beihai Palace.
Xu Fang and Xu Zhi each had husbands' families, so it was inconvenient for them to live with their parents' parents. Xu Ying was not troubled by this. She settled in the palace and immediately took over the important tasks of the palace's internal affairs and managing Xu Jing's marriage.
Zhao Xiyan and Xu Ying are also more familiar with each other and often go back and forth.
On this day, Xu Ying came to Zhao's house to visit her elders, and then went to Zhao Xiyan's yard to talk.
"Huo Yan has also come to the capital." Xu Ying laughed softly and said: "The Huo family also has a house in the capital. Huo Yan came to the capital to take the exam, so he happened to have a place to live."
Hearing Huo Yan's name, Zhao Xiyan's eyebrows turned cold and she said calmly: "He came to the capital two days ago and sent a greeting card to the Zhao family. My eldest uncle met him once and praised him for his talent."
However, talent and character are two different things.
Xu Ying was a little surprised when she saw Zhao Xiyan's cold expression. The Huo family and the Zhao family were family friends, and Huo Yan was a disciple of Zhao Yuanming. She and Zhao Xiyan had known each other since childhood and grew up together. When she mentioned Huo Yan, Zhao Xiyan's eyes revealed
What's the matter with disgust?
Could there be some reason for this?
Xu Ying was thoughtful. Seeing that Zhao Xiyan didn't want to talk more about Huo Yan, she changed the subject: "By the way, when I set off in November, your fifth cousin was getting married. Wu Shao will also participate in the Spring Festival next year. I guess
I will come to the capital soon."
When Zhao Suxin and Wu Shao were mentioned, Zhao Xiyan immediately relaxed her eyebrows and responded with a smile: "I also hope they will come soon."
After a pause, he chuckled and said, "In this subject, the young master of the Luo family has also entered high school."
Xu Ying also laughed: "Isn't that right? Everyone praises the Ye family for their good taste and choosing a husband that they want for Miss Ye."
Three months ago, the Luo family and the Ye family made a marriage arrangement, and the wedding date is scheduled for April next year. Luo Hong has passed the imperial examination, and will be in the spring next year. If he can pass the Jinshi examination, Ye Qinyao will become the wife of the Jinshi as soon as he passes the exam.
After chatting for a long time, Xu Ying whispered: "When I came to the capital this time, my father specifically told me to keep an eye on Chunsheng. Nowadays, there are wars everywhere in the Jin Dynasty, and the situation in the capital is quite tense. Chunsheng is impulsive and irritable, but
Don't cause trouble in the palace."
Zhao Xiyan smiled and comforted the worried Xu Ying: "Third sister, don't worry. Brother Chunsheng may seem reckless, but he is actually very measured and will not cause trouble."
Xu Ying smiled and sighed, holding Zhao Xiyan's hand: "This is all because you always persuaded him to stop him. He is also the most willing to listen to you. If it were us sisters, he would deserve it."
Turn around and forget about it.”
"Now I just hope that you will come to the house soon. After all, I am a married daughter. I don't have the confidence to take charge in my mother's family. My belly is getting bigger day by day and my energy is low. When you become the Crown Princess, you can legitimately take charge.
Family director.”
Warmth surged through Zhao Xiyan's heart.
The four sisters of the Xu family all have different temperaments. Xu Wan lives in Beihai County, needless to say. The three sisters now in the capital, Xu Fang is cheerful and gentle, Xu Zhi is fierce and capable, and Xu Ying is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She and Xu Ying
We have known each other for the longest time and have the most congenial temperaments.
Only Xu Ying can say such thoughtful words.
Just as they were talking, the eldest aunt Sun came over with a face full of joy: "Yue Ya'er, there's a letter from Beihai County. Su Xin and your fifth brother-in-law Wu Shao set off a few days ago. Counting the days, it will take more than ten days at most.
Arrive in the capital."
I just happened to arrive in Beijing in time for the New Year so that we can celebrate the New Year together.
Zhao Xiyan was very happy.
She came to the capital for half a year, and became very close to her seventh cousin Zhao Queyu, and also made two good friends, Gao Pingping and Su Jin. After all, her time was short, and the friendship with her fifth cousin was far less profound.
…
On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, newly married Wu Shao and Zhao Suxin finally arrived in the capital.
Everyone was overjoyed to see each other again.
Zhao Xiyan looked Zhao Suxin up and down.
Zhao Suxin, who was wearing a red skirt and coat, blushed at the sight of her: "We haven't seen you for half a year, don't you recognize me? Why are you looking at me like this?"
Zhao Xiyan responded seriously: "You used to be the fifth girl of the Zhao family, but now you are the young mistress of the Wu family. Of course I have to take a closer look."
Everyone was amused and burst into laughter.
Zhao Suxin blushed and stretched out her hand to pinch Zhao Xiyan. Of course, she had to do it lightly.
Wu Shao smiled energetically and said: "In the future I should change my name and call myself Sixth Sister."
Finally the fifth brother-in-law!
Zhao Xiyan and Wu Shao were very familiar with each other, and she joked with a smile: "The fifth brother-in-law is blessed with double happiness. First he won the imperial examination, and then he became the groom's official. Now he is just waiting for next spring to become a high school Jinshi."
Wu Shao grinned, showing two rows of white teeth: "I accept the good news from my sixth sister. I also hope to pass the exam in one fell swoop and let my cousin Suxin become a Jinshi wife!"
Everyone laughed again.
My eldest cousin Zhao Jiahe, who failed the exam this time in Qiu Wei, was very envious and sighed: "I am not very lucky. I failed in this subject and have to wait another three years."
Wu Shao said hurriedly: "I'm just saying casually, how can Chunwei be so easy? Maybe in three years I will have to enter the Chunwei examination room with my uncle."
Only then did Zhao Jiahe smile.
Zhao Xiyan glanced at Zhao Jiahe. This eldest cousin is also very small-minded.
That's all, she and her fifth cousin are temporarily living in the Zhao Mansion. When she gets married into the Beihai Prince's Mansion in April next year, she simply invites her fifth cousin to live there with her.
Zhao Suxin was also muttering secretly in her heart, and looked at Zhao Xiyan.
After settling down, Zhao Suxin quietly came to talk to Zhao Xiyan: "Is my eldest cousin usually so open-minded?"
Zhao Xiyan laughed softly and said: "He studies in the Imperial College on weekdays and only comes back two days a month. I don't have much contact with him. The fifth brother-in-law has to study hard and prepare for the exam, so don't pay attention to him."
Zhao Suxin nodded.
There are many people in the big family, and there are all kinds of people. Zhao Jiahe doesn't have any bad habits, but he is not very broad-minded and speaks sourly.
"You should know about the engagement between Huo Yan and Xie Jiao, right!" Zhao Suxin laughed softly: "At first, everyone said that the Huo family was involved in this marriage. When Huo Yanzhong got to know Yuan, the limelight turned around again, and everyone
It’s said that Huo Yan’s marriage has been decided early.”
"If we wait a little longer, maybe Huo Yan will pass the Jinshi examination and marry a noble girl from the capital."
Zhao Xiyan twitched her lips and said, "The Huo family is a wealthy family in Beihai County and runs more than a dozen grain shops. Being married to Commander Xie will bring real benefits to the Huo family."
This is true.
Zhao Suxin knew something about the inside story, so she stopped mentioning Huo Yan and asked with a smile: "It will be the end of the year in two days. The prince will not stay in the palace to celebrate the New Year!"
With Xu Jing's temper, if he could leave the palace, he would definitely come to the Zhao Mansion as soon as possible.
Zhao Xiyan was also thinking about Xu Jing: "He sent someone to deliver a letter yesterday, saying that he would leave the palace at the end of the year."
Hosta came with a panicked look on her face: "Miss, the palace has sent someone to deliver an oral message. Please go and listen to the order immediately."
