Xu Qinghuan's carriage stopped at the gate of Anyihou Mansion.
Before getting out of the car, Xu Qinghuan heard Xu Qingyue's voice: "Sister, you are finally back."
The curtain of the carriage was opened, Xu Qinghuan and Xu Qingyue's eyes met, and the two little girls immediately started laughing.
Xu Qingyue took Xu Qinghuan's hand, and the two of them walked quickly to Mrs. Xu's yard.
Xu Qing'an got off his horse and wanted to catch up with them, but was stopped by a steward mother. The steward mother whispered: "Madam asked the slave to come and ask the prince, did he cause trouble in Changzhou?"
Xu Qing'an waved his hand: "Of course not, I will report it to my mother when I come in." Let's talk about how majestic he is in Changzhou City and how many good things he has done.
Hearing this, the mother in charge turned pale for no reason. Usually when the prince said this, it meant he was in big trouble.
Seeing Xu Qinghuan and Xu Qingyue walking further and further away, Xu Qingan became impatient and wanted to chase after them.
"Your Majesty," the steward's mother said, "Madam asked you to wait a while before going in. The Madam has been worried for so long, so let the Madam be happy first..."
What does that mean? It's as if he'll make grandma angry just by walking in the door.
Doesn't his mother believe in him, a young hero? Xu Qing'an's face immediately darkened. He also wanted to tell his grandmother about Zhang He's tragic situation. Her grandmother would definitely laugh after hearing this, and all her worries would disappear.
Naturally, Xu Qing'an would not be stopped by the steward's mother. He walked quickly towards the mansion. As soon as he passed the corridor, he saw the steward leading the craftsmen towards the inner courtyard.
"Is the garden at home being repaired?" Xu Qing'an asked.
The steward's mother said: "The Queen Mother sent people to send rewards, and the Queen Mother asked people to repair the ancestral hall so that all the objects can be enshrined."
"No need to go to so much trouble," Xu Qing'an lowered his voice, "The Queen Mother said she will take the reward back soon."
The mother in charge felt cold when she heard this. The prince had indeed gotten into trouble, and a big one at that.
…
Xu Qinghuan and Xu Qingyue entered the door hand in hand. When they saw Mrs. Xu, Xu Qinghuan immediately knelt down to salute.
"Grandma, it's your granddaughter's unfilial piety that makes you worry."
Mrs. Xu looked at her granddaughter. She heard the news that Qing Huan and others ran to Changzhou. She thought that when the girl came back, she would be scolded. Changzhou was so chaotic, what would happen if something went wrong.
But now he saw that she had lost weight and was tired of all the work, and she couldn't bear to leave her. After all, Qing Huan was also worried about Changxing. If Qing Huan hadn't gone to Changzhou, Changxing might have been plotted by Su Wan.
Now that the battle was won and the Anyi Marquis Mansion was safe, what else could she say?
"Get up," Mrs. Xu said, "come here quickly and let me see why you have lost so much weight these days since you have been out."
Xu Qinghuan sat on the couch and held the wife's arm: "It's not as good as home outside."
Feeling the Mrs. Tai's hand on her head, which was warm and friendly, Xu Qinghuan completely relaxed. After leaving the capital, she had been cautious and only now was she unloading her burden.
Mrs. Xu pretended to be angry: "Let's see if you dare to run out in the future."
"I don't dare anymore," Xu Qinghuan said hurriedly, "I will stay in my grandmother's room to accompany her."
After saying that, she looked at Xu Qingyue next to her: "Qingyue and I will sleep in the grandmother's house tonight."
Mrs. Xu immediately suppressed her smile: "That's not possible. You two have been chattering all day long, making me upset. That's all during the day. I'd better go back to your room at night so that I can sleep peacefully."
."
Mrs. Xu and others brought fresh fruits and food.
Seeing her mother, Xu Qinghuan immediately stood up to greet her.
"Just come back," Mrs. Xu's eyes turned red. "These days are really worrying. Madam Tai and I both want to go to Changzhou, but we are afraid of causing trouble to you, so why not stay in the capital and listen to the news."
After saying this, Mrs. Xu looked Xu Qinghuan up and down: "Are you injured when you went out? Are you sick?"
"No," Xu Qing said with a smile, "Yin Gui and Feng Chu have taken good care of them."
Mrs. Xu nodded: "Where is Mr. Hou's injury? Is it better?"
Xu Qinghuan said: "Father will still need to recover for a while, but he is fine now."
Mrs. Xu was completely relieved now.
"Brother has also made great achievements." Xu Qinghuan looked out and found out why his brother had not come in yet. "Brother took the scouts out to win the battle, and saved the prince of Shunyang County at Anshan Temple."
Mrs. Xu was slightly surprised: "Huan'er, are you telling the truth? Aren't you covering up for your brother?"
"How could my granddaughter lie to grandma?" Xu Qinghuan walked to Mrs. Xu and sat down. "Even my father said that my brother has made a lot of progress, and the prince of Shunyang County has also returned to the capital with us. Grandma will ask the prince when the time comes.
I know what my granddaughter said is right."
The prince of Shunyang County...
Mrs. Xu thought about it carefully and seemed to have some impressions: "I should have met him once in Prince Jian's Mansion. The child was very outstanding. The late emperor gave him the name 'Fang'. He is a man who understands etiquette and has a kind heart. If Qing'an can make more friends,
For such a young man, learning from his strong points and making up for his weak points will naturally be beneficial to him, so I can rest assured."
As soon as Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she heard Xu Qing'an's voice coming from outside: "Grandma, your grandson is back."
Xu Qingan entered the door with a smile and immediately saluted Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu saw that her grandson seemed to be much taller, and she couldn't help but feel relieved: "My good boy, he has finally made his mark."
"In addition to the gifts my sister brought back," Xu Qing'an held out a long box, "I also bought some items for my grandmother."
Xu Qingan opened the box and found a rosewood crutch inside.
Mrs. Xu's legs and feet were quite nimble and she never used these things in the house. However, she was filial to her grandson. Just as she was about to put the crutch away, Xu Qing'an stuffed the crutch into her hand.
"Grandma may need it in a couple of days."
Mrs. Xu waved her arm, holding a cane in her hand, pointing where to hit, as if she was really good at it. She couldn't help but think of her son's decision to marry the Song family. Qing'an was right. In two days, she
It can be used without saying anything.
"There's no need to put away the crutches," Mrs. Xu said, "I'll give it a try in the garden later."
The mother in charge responded, and a satisfied smile appeared on Xu Qingan's face.
After saying this, Mrs. Xu's eyes fell on Xu Qinghuan's face and she sighed slightly: "Did you encounter any trouble along the way?"
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "The Queen Mother sent someone to take us back to Beijing."
Mrs. Xu frowned. It seemed that her previous worries were correct. The Queen Mother had a deeper meaning in rewarding Qing Huan with so many things.
Xu Qingan looked angry: "Zhang He also wanted to go to his sister's room in the middle of the night, so I caught him and beat him up."
"This is unreasonable," Mrs. Xu said with an angry look on her face, "Even if the Zhang family is a relative of the emperor, they cannot look down on a lowly person like this."
