In the evening, Lin Yunyan left the palace and returned home.
The Empress Dowager was in a particularly good mood today, and the horse-drawing ceremony was lively and lively. However, after the fun, people will inevitably feel tired, so she did not stay with Lin Yunyan to have dinner with her.
As the carriage passed through the bustling street, Wan Yue lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside.
As the end of the year approaches, the New Year atmosphere on the streets is gradually getting heavier.
The little maid silently counted the days in her heart.
I just heard from Cining Palace that the wedding ceremony between the princess and the Duke will probably be arranged in the spring.
It’s not a rush, it’s enough for both sides to arrange things properly and gracefully.
One year later, in the 13th year of Yongjia, the princess held the hairpin ceremony and gave another grand ceremony.
The princess’s birthday is in March, which means that if the wedding date is chosen closer, it will only be sixteen or seventeen months.
Putting down the curtain, Wan Yue turned around and asked Lin Yunyan softly: "Do you have to stay in the yard these days?"
Lin Yunyan blinked.
At first I didn’t understand what Wan Yue meant, but when I thought about it again, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"My feet are on me, Taohe Restaurant is on that street, why don't I go if I want to?" Lin Yunyan stretched out her hand and poked Wan Yue's cheek, "Grandma won't even recite a single word of those tiny and complicated rules.
”
She doesn't have a confused temper, and Xu Jian doesn't have a clear temper either.
Xiao Duan definitely has this little trust in her.
As for my father...
My father would tell me to be careful when going out and let Chen Gui accompany me.
Thinking of Chen Dongjia, Lin Yunyan met Chen Dongjia himself in Zaishouyuan.
Lin Yunyan went in to greet Xiao Duan, and Chen Gui came behind.
Chen Gui congratulated them with a smile on her face.
"When I met Duke Fu several times before, I thought this young man was really good."
"I say I don't care about anything, but in fact I know very well that the business in Laoshi Alley is very well planned."
"Seeing that Gao An understands me and Jingdong's family, he went to work as a hands-off shopkeeper. This is the most rare thing! A layman will make a mess if he gives advice to an expert, but he can obviously be an expert, but he doesn't point fingers, which is enough to see the right way to do things.
People's trust. The Jingdong family said that they would not be tied up when doing things for the Duke."
"Business and life are actually the same thing. What do you think, madam?"
Xiao Duan nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
At her age, she has seen and heard a lot about conflicts between husbands and wives. In the final analysis, it is about not letting go where you should let go, not letting go where you shouldn't let go, and dealing with problems as a hindsight.
Can we live in harmony with those who come and go when we are picky?
When she married into the Lin family, her mother-in-law gave her guidance for half a year. When she saw that she was capable of handling it, she gave her all the middle-class education.
Give a good report once a month, point out any imperfections privately, and never find fault with others.
The same is true for husbands.
Lin Kui knows all the big and small things at home. He doesn't blindly act, but he doesn't give random orders, and he never acts like an afterthought.
Butler Xiao Duan manages things very smoothly.
Later, when she handed it over to Mrs. Chen, she followed her mother-in-law's example and told Lin Xun not to cause unnecessary trouble to the housekeeper's wife.
As for Lin Yu, there is no need for Xiao Duan to talk about it.
Lin Yu's temper and wisdom in daily dealings are very similar to Lin Kui.
I understand better than anyone in my heart, and I act more decently and thoughtfully than anyone else.
If you live like this, year after year, your heart will be smooth and your family will be happy.
Previously, Xiao Duan had heard some about Xu Jian's behavior and temperament from Lin Xun due to two businesses. She also learned some about Xu Jian's behavior from Lin Yu recently. She knew a lot about Xu Jian.
But good words are pleasant to the ears.
Chen Gui praised the Duke, and little Duan became more and more excited as he listened.
Holding Lin Yunyan's hand, she said: "I haven't seen him properly yet. He is supposed to come during the New Year, right? I have to keep my eyes open during the New Year greetings."
Chen Gui gave a thumbs up: "One word, handsome, two words, handsome. When such a handsome future grandson-in-law comes to visit, the neighbors will definitely be envious."
Xiao Duan laughed heartily.
Lin Yunyan also laughed and teased Chen Gui: "How many red envelopes have the Duke of the Kingdom given you, so you are so active in saying good things for him?"
"Look what the princess said," Chen Gui said with great joy, "I am pointing to Laoshi Lane to make a fortune. When I make a lot of money, I will give you a wedding gift. I can get such an opportunity to make a fortune.
You and the Duke are willing to share a piece of my pie."
Lin Yunyan smiled.
Since it was about business, Chen Gui got down to business seriously.
"During the day, officials from Shuntian Prefecture went to Laoshi Lane again and were very satisfied."
"The original plan was to make unified arrangements for the lives of the candidates going to Beijing after the Yamen opened after the new year. The Jingdong family had been making suggestions to the government before that since the houses were ready, it would be better to settle them earlier."
"Although most of the candidates who arrived in the capital early are relatively well-off, there are also a small number of people from poor families who have to leave early because of the long distance to avoid inconvenience and trouble on the road in winter."<
/p>
"The place where these students will live when they arrive in Beijing is not very good, and they don't have that much money to keep warm. This winter is very windy and snowy. If they get sick..."
"Besides, we are about to celebrate the New Year, with a new atmosphere and a new house that can be lived in, so we should quickly improve it."
"The yamen said that things are just like this. Now if we want to change it, we have to report it to the boss one by one. I heard what the Jingdong family said, Mr. Shan is willing to get things done..."
As I was talking, there were hurried footsteps outside.
Soon, a woman entered the middle room and reported inside through the curtain.
"The old lady, the princess, the second lady and the eldest girl are back. There was an accident on the road and the eldest girl sprained her foot."
Xiao Duan's smile disappeared: "Is it serious? Have you called a doctor?"
The mother-in-law said again: "It's swollen a lot, and I've already gone to see a doctor."
Xiao Duan breathed a sigh of relief, said something to Chen Gui, called Lin Yunyan, and was eager to go to Qingpu Garden to visit.
There was something going on in the house, so Chen Gui left first.
Soon Lin Yunyan helped little Duan into Qingpu Courtyard.
Mrs. Chen had already arrived. Seeing Mrs. Duan walking in a hurry, she said, "There is nothing serious in Yunjing. Don't be in a hurry. Don't be in a hurry. The doctor is on the way."
Little Duan asked: "Why did you become eccentric?"
Mrs. Chen looked around and said: "The road on the mountain is difficult. The carriage skidded and the wheels got stuck on the roadside. The people in the carriage had to get out. The second sister-in-law couldn't stand firm, so Yun Jing went to help her. As a result, the mother and daughter
They all fell. I just heard what the second sister-in-law said. Fortunately, the clothes are thick, and except for Yun Jing’s sprained foot, everything else is fine. I was just scared."
Xiao Duan clasped her hands and chanted "Amitabha" repeatedly.
Mrs. Chen added: "In addition to looking at my feet, I will ask the doctor to take a closer look at my body. If there are bruises anywhere, I don't know. Then I can prescribe a prescription to calm my mind and peace of mind."
Xiao Duan said: "I can rest assured that you will do the work."
Lin Yunyan listened on the side, thought for a while, and called Wan Yue: "Let Chen Gui sit in the flower hall for a while, I may look for him later."
