The letter was a bit thick to hold, and it seemed that there was more than a few words in it.
Zhu Xiang was very curious about what Lin Yunyan would write. After seeing off his father-in-law, he went back to the house to open the letter.
Most of the people living in this alley are wealthy businessmen who have some connection with the official family. They usually follow the rules of wealthy families, but today they are receiving rewards from the palace, so many of them can't sit still and come out to watch the excitement.
Uncle Yu's family went straight to the entrance of the alley, and when he turned around and walked home, he received many blessings from the neighbors.
The two aunts also smiled and talked to the familiar neighbor woman.
There were also some who were envious, and they gathered together and muttered.
"The eldest brother was transferred back to serve as an official in the Sixth Ministry of Capital, and my cousin made plans to get married. It's a double happiness."
"I thought that if something happened to the Zhu family, even if they were not affected, they would not have any in-laws who could help them. From now on... I didn't expect that it would happen again."
"It is the blessing accumulated from my old background. Although we have lived in the same alley with us all these years, my ancestors had high-ranking officials. Only then could I marry my daughter into the Duke's palace and get a cousin girl who was born well. Even if the house was confiscated, it would still be the same.
A girl from the Duke's mansion for more than ten years."
"Yes, the Empress Dowager has given so many rewards, but she is the Empress Dowager! It can be seen that the palace does not consider her and the Zhu family at all."
"I don't know if I will marry a marquis this time..."
"Miss Zhu is very kind, don't curse her!"
"Ah, I didn't say anything. The one she ordered just came back from the Xiliang campaign, right? He also made meritorious service."
"Hey, Miss Zhu and the princess have a close relationship. They have a good relationship! The young master is a good brother who fights with the Duke. How can the relationship between the princess and the Duke be bad?"
"In the final analysis, the Lao Yu family can still stand on its own and treat others in a kind and gentle manner. In the past, we did not rely on the in-laws of the Duke's Palace to dominate us. We should do as we should in the future."
"Yes, yes, I'm waiting for some wedding candies and wine in a while."
Some people talk about it, and naturally some say it's good and some say it's bad.
But after all, it is a happy event, and there are usually no disputes. Even if you talk casually, you will not talk about it in front of your family.
The Yu family's aunts pretended not to know, greeted them politely, waited for the men to come back, entered the house and closed the door.
There's a lot of commotion outside, so just close the door.
The two aunts led the servants to count the rewards, pack them up, and send the booklet to Zhu Xiang.
When he entered the house, he saw Zhu Xian's eyes were red and he was wiping them.
"What's wrong with this?" the second aunt asked hurriedly.
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Nothing, just take a look at the letter."
My aunties understood it as soon as they heard it.
Handkerchief, isn't it just a matter of crying and laughing together?
After putting down the booklet and making a few jokes, the aunties went out first, leaving Zhu Xiang alone.
Counting the days, the last time Zhu Xi saw Lin Yunyan was on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.
The New Year has not yet come out, so in the name of paying New Year's greetings and saying goodbye, Zhu Xiang went to the Fuguo Duke's Mansion.
Lin Yunyan has almost finished cleaning up.
Zhu Xiang looked at the boxes and cages Lin Yunyan pointed out to her and asked, "That's all?"
Lin Yunyan kept laughing: "I am traveling, not moving."
This Zhu Xiang is also a joke.
As soon as the person smiled and relaxed, Zhu Xiang talked a lot of thoughts with Lin Yunyan.
On the day when the teacher returned to the court, the Yu Chengan who rode by was indeed completely different from the former playboy Yu Chengan.
She wanted to take that step, even if there were many difficulties, it was worth trying.
"I envy Yun Jing's simple and peaceful life, but I also understand that Aunt Yu was selected from thousands of people in your house. The reason why he can live a good life is not only because of Aunt Yu's simple background, but also because of his excellent character."
"I choose someone who can be the master of my own affairs, but I dare not say that he has that kind of character."
"There are naturally difficulties in the Duke's uncle's house, but I can predict them a bit. After all, I have lived there for more than ten years. I have never encountered those things myself, and I have heard a lot about them. I can still think of them.
Handle."
"If he was just a playboy, I wouldn't change my mind, but now that he has changed..."
"My strength lies in my background in the Duke's Palace, and my weakness lies in this as well."
Zhu Xiang thought about it carefully many times, whether it was good or bad, and only then talked to Lin Yunyan after thinking clearly about it.
Lin Yunyan listened very carefully, to her confusion, to her courage, to her thoughts that she couldn't tell anyone else.
Just like more than two years ago, in the private room of that teahouse, listening to her talk about the scandal that was buried deep in her heart almost drove her crazy.
Talking it out and finding a solution will really make you feel free.
It's the same this time.
Lin Yunyan listened to what she said and said softly: "A few days ago, Mrs. Xu went to Guangde Temple to offer incense. Mrs. Hou, the security guard, was also there. Mrs. Hou said something and said she was sending it to you..."
Zhu Xiang didn't speak for a long time, but she thought that her worries were gone.
Zhu Xiang had made up his mind, and Lin Yunyan asked Xu Jian to arrange Yu Chengan's situation.
Yu Cheng'an had been waiting for the news for a long time, so he hurriedly came to Fuguogong's Mansion.
Still in the flower hall, Zhu Xiang talked to Yu Chengan for a while.
"Before I went, I thought about killing the enemy and doing meritorious service. The grandson of Marquis Baoan was so timid on the battlefield that even his old man was laughed at," Yu Chengan said honestly, "but I never thought about it.
, the greatest achievement he made was catching Cheng Xi."
Zhu Chan read this paragraph in his uncle's letter home.
The uncle was quite emotional and said, "With three hundred and sixty years of practice, I will be the number one scholar." "I only know how to play with crickets and play with things to lose my ambition, but I don't know that I can also exercise my eyesight."
Yu Chengan only talked about the results, not bragging, and finally said: "After returning to Beijing this time, unless called for by the border, I will not go to guard the border. However, after getting used to military life, I feel uncomfortable this year. I
After discussing it with my grandfather, I got the approval of the Holy One when I went to the palace to pay my respects two days ago, and will be incorporated into the Gyeonggi camp for training later in the year."
He was worried, but he spoke frankly.
When he went to Yumenguan that day, he tried to attract Zhu Xiang, but he knew very well that he wanted to change his ways as a playboy, and he joined the army for himself, not to "blackmail" Zhu Xiang.
It's the same today.
He has his arrangements and will carry them out conscientiously. Everyone is happy if Zhu Xiang agrees, but Zhu Xiang should not...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! That is really not the fate.
It is absolutely impossible for Yu Chengan to return to Hun and take things by force, which are worthless and punishable.
Zhu Xiang agreed.
Just as Yu Chengan promised before leaving Beijing, she gave him a clear answer.
"Earlier, your grandmother asked Mrs. Xu to tell you that if I nodded, the uncle's house would be ready to take care of things. But my mother's death anniversary is in the autumn, so it's still early."
Yu Chengan was stunned for a while.
The expected answer fell on his ears, but he didn't react for a while.
When he finally came to his senses, his first words were, "Twenty-seven months have passed, and we are ready."
There are rules, of course.
Of course, this is also Yu Chengan's wishful thinking.
The Baoanhou Mansion was really getting things done, and it wasn't in such a hurry.
At the end of May, the wedding was finalized, and the wedding date was set for next spring.
There is enough time so that Zhu Xian can prepare more.
Sitting in front of the window, Zhu Xiang read Lin Yunyan's letter again.
"It is said that Beijing has all the good things from all over the world, but when I came out this time, I also found a lot of interesting things in the local area."
"There are several kinds of fragrances that are not available in Jingzhong. They smell elegant and refreshing. When I smelled it, I thought, this feels a lot like you. I bought several bottles and sent them back to Jingzhong with other gadgets. You received them.
Give it a try.”
"I haven't chosen the wedding gift yet, but I think I still have time. I'll wait until I make the selection again, and I'll definitely be able to pick the best one."
Zhu Xiang smiled.
What would her perfume look like?
It’s so exciting.
In July, in the scorching heat, Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian arrived in Shuzhong and met Li Qi and Yibin, Princess Changle.
The princess's mansion prepared a welcoming banquet, which was lively and lively.
Li Qi drank too much, hugged Lin Yunyan and cried loudly.
She married too far away from Beijing. Although her husband's family was very good and she lived a happy life, she also missed the capital and the Empress Dowager very much.
"The imperial grandmother loves your mother very much. My father once said that my cousin is closer than my full sister."
"The bad news came from Dingguo Temple. The emperor's grandmother fell ill at that time, and her father passed away not long after. During that time, the emperor's grandmother suffered a lot. I can't do anything. I can only hold you and talk to her. If it weren't for you,
exist……"
"I really can't bear to get married, but fortunately I still have you by my grandmother's side. With you by her side, I feel relieved."
"I want to go back to visit my relatives every year, but it's too far away and very inconvenient. In the blink of an eye, I haven't seen the imperial grandmother for four or five years."
"I heard last year that the death of Dingguo Temple and my father were all because of my second uncle. I, I hate it so much! I hate it so much!"
"I hate him, and I hate that I couldn't stay with the imperial grandmother. When I found out that my father died of poisoning, was the imperial grandmother already seriously ill? Is she okay this time because of the real culprit?"
Lin Yunyan was also made to cry by Li Qi.
"Yes, I know that when Prince Ding died of poisoning, the Queen Mother was seriously ill. However, she was not sick when Li Du was found. She has been in good health recently."
"She also always misses you, saying that she has chosen a good family and married into a good family. The only disadvantage is that it is 'too far away'. But she also thinks that living a good life is your life's business."
"Originally Princess Derong also planned to come to Shu. Knowing that I had decided to come this year, she told her that she would go elsewhere this year and come to see you next year, so that you would have people coming from Beijing every year."
"But you also have to go to the capital, no later than the year after tomorrow. You must go the year after tomorrow. No one will come from Beijing the year after tomorrow, so you have to go."
The year after tomorrow was the sixteenth year of Yongjia.
Once upon a time, in the late spring of the seventeenth year of Yongjia, the Empress Dowager died.
Li Qi, who had not been to Beijing for several years, set off in a hurry. When she arrived in Beijing, all she was left with was the empty Cining Palace.
She did not see the empress for the last time. She only went to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage and cried until she passed away.
There are many differences between this life and the past, and the Empress Dowager's body looks much healthier than before, but no one knows whether she can live a few more years.
Lin Yunyan wanted Li Qi to see the Empress Dowager again, and also for the Empress Dowager to see her only granddaughter again.
Li Qi got drunk and burst into tears. After the banquet was over, Yi Bin helped her back to rest.
Lin Yunyan was afraid that she would not remember it after she sobered up, so she mentioned it to Li Qi twice.
Li Qi made up her mind: "Tell Aunt Derong for me that her trip to Shu will be postponed again. I will go back to Beijing next year. If she wants to visit me, it will be the year after that. That's okay.
When I came back from Beijing, she went south with me."
Lin Yunyan responded with a smile.
The couple spent a month in Shu, seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers nearby, as well as the local customs and customs.
We spent the Mid-Autumn Festival there and raised our glasses toward the capital.
At the end of the month, they set off from Shu and went down the river.
Just as Lin Yunyan wrote to the Empress Dowager earlier, the cabin was filled with things Li Qi had given her and gifts to be carried back to the capital.
They were not a light boat, but they also passed the Ten Thousand Mountains in the blink of an eye.
Along the land of Jingchu, they crossed several more canals, and slowly, before the rivers froze, they returned to the ferry in the suburbs of Beijing.
The capital city that had been away for nearly a year appeared in front of her eyes again, which made Lin Yunyan sigh.
This year will naturally be busy.
There are a lot of posts on the concierge, but Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan are still the same as last year, most of them have been rejected.
Lin Yunyan went back and forth between Fu Guogong Palace, Cining Palace, and Chengyi County Palace. She had endless things to talk about every day. In addition, she only went to Bihua Palace twice, and then back to Yu's house.
The imperial concubine seems to have opened her eyes a lot and is in good condition.
When Zhu Xiang was preparing to get married, she would sometimes ask Lin Yunjing for advice on embroidery skills.
"Spring is very good," Lin Yunyan calculated the time with her. "I will go to the south of the Yangtze River to pick up Yunfang and her brother-in-law after the new year. The north has not yet thawed, so I will go through the official road first and then board the ship when it is farther south.
The return journey is quite fast. When we come back, the rivers have melted and we can reach the outskirts of Beijing directly.
It will be almost the time when you get married, and the Duke and I will have a wedding banquet before setting off."
Zhu Xiang was happy to see her estimate: "Where will we go when we set off again?"
"Fireworks in March are of course going to Yangzhou," Lin Yunyan said. "I only brought Yunfang back, and I didn't have time to wander around Jiangnan more, so I had to go again. After leaving Jiangnan, I will go west again.
The next time I want to go to Jingzhou, if it’s convenient, I’ll go and see Yumen Pass.”
"How wonderful," Zhu Xiang sighed, "in the year since you left, many people have envied you."
Lin Yunyan raised her eyebrows.
"The Renyuan Marquis Mansion and the girls from the Han family followed their brothers to the General's Mansion to watch a cockfight. They almost realized what was going on and had to be obedient and honest. But you, our princess, and your husband
Let's leave the capital together and travel around the mountains and rivers. Do you think it will make others envious?" Zhu Xiang teased her.
"How do you know?" Lin Yunyan asked, "You are busy getting married, and you still go to the girls' flower party and poetry party?"
Since the disappearance of the British Crown Prince, Zhu Xiang has been disconnected from everything except walking with the Lin sisters.
Lin Yunyan knew this very well, and she asked and answered: "It seems that he heard what Yu Chengan said. Yes, he went from Jiangjunfang to Yumenguan, Baoanhoufu was proud, Renyuanhoufu, etc. also looked forward to learning from him.
In this way, there is no shortage of supervision for the juniors. The former playboy friends and all the brothers in trouble will definitely have to take it out on Yu Chengan."
Zhu Xiang laughed.
The new year has arrived as scheduled.
When returning to Uncle Chengyi's house to pay New Year's greetings, Mr. Duan pulled Lin Yunyan and whispered.
"I cried on New Year's Eve, saying that I asked you to make it right. I don't have Yunfang by my side this New Year's Eve, so I can't remember it."
Of course it was Chen who cried.
A happy event is arranged with great joy, but after it is completed, it is sad and lost.
I will think about it again after the Chinese New Year, and I will miss it very much.
"It doesn't matter!" Lin Yunyan said, "I will set off in two days to bring Yunfang back."
