Chapter 70: All Things Are Ready (2)
Min Yuan was in a carriage, slightly faster than the sedan chair, so although he set off half an hour late, he only arrived two quarters of an hour later than Yi Ying. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Yiying ate a few pieces of melon and fruit, and drank a few sips of tea, and the whole grange became restless.
Min Yuan came with all the guards except Fu Er and Zisheng and other maids, and the group was vast and very eye-catching. A group of peasant women from the countryside followed a few paces behind them, and because they did not know any etiquette, they were whispered and pointed at from time to time. Mother Yang glared at them, and they were silent for a moment, only to move again after a moment.
"It's all arranged?" Min Won asked in a low voice, looking at the courtyard in front of him.
"The eldest princess can rest assured. Mother Yang hurriedly bowed and replied.
She nodded imperceptibly, and when she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she turned around and said to everyone in a deep voice: "The escort team will stay here and watch, and the rest of the people will disperse." ā
The peasant women and the women were all scattered, and only one or two bold ones slowed down their steps and looked back secretly.
Min Yuan left the maids outside and followed Yang's mother into the courtyard.
Three women stood in the corner, and when they saw this, they greeted her and saluted her.
"Mama Zhuang, Danzhu. Min Yuan smiled and greeted a woman with some silver threads in her hair and a woman who looked like she was twenty-four or five years old and wore a woman's bun, and his eyes paused on the girl in the apricot-colored skirt in the middle, and hesitated: "This is ......"
The girl glanced at Mother Yang, and when she nodded slightly, she spoke: "The slave's name is Half Moon, and she is Mother Yang's daughter." ā
Banyue? Minyuan remembered, isn't the protagonist who has been acting in front of outsiders all these years the little girl in front of her? She saw that she spoke clearly, it was a serious official dialect, without the slightest crappy dialect, her voice was as pleasant as a yellow warbler, and her demeanor was even more sensible and polite, and she was very satisfied, so she said: "Thank you for your hard work." ā
The five people present understood the meaning of this hard work. That Grandma Zhuang was older, so she smiled and spoke first: "I heard that the county lord is here?"
Min Won nodded. Mama Zhuang is her mother's henchman, and Danzhu is a person she can trust, in order to convince outsiders over the years, the two of them have personally guarded here, and from time to time they have taken this little girl of the same age as Yuanyuan to perform a scene of holding the pipa and half-covering her face in front of outsiders, and she has suffered a lot.
After a few greetings, they went to the only main room in the courtyard, where Yiying was.
Yiying was listening to the movement outside with her ears open, and when she saw the voices gradually disappearing, she knew that her mother had come in. Sure enough, a moment later, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the mother entered the house with the four women.
She was a little surprised, got off the kang, and called her mother.
Except for Yang's mother, the three people were a little unable to react when they saw her at first, but they came back to their senses when they heard her voice, and they all stepped forward to salute.
"I've seen the county lord. The three of them said in unison.
Yi Ying said and looked at her mother.
Min Yuan came over and smiled and took her hand and sat on the kang, so that the four of them also sat down, and pointed to Mama Zhuang: "...... This is an old man who is serving by your grandmother's side, surnamed Zhuang, and you can call Grandma Zhuang. ā
He pointed to Danzhu again: "...... This is Danju who used to be next to me. Finally, he smiled and glanced at Banyue, who was sitting there in a regular manner: "That's Mother Yang's only daughter, Banyue, the same age as you." ā
Yiying looked at the expressions of her mother and Mother Yang, and looked at Banyue carefully for a while, remembering that her mother had said that Banyue had pretended to be her all these years, and she was accompanied by her henchmen from time to time. ā
Min Yuan nodded, her family Yuanyuan is smart, you can understand her meaning with a look, the Qin family is really meritorious. Yang's mother's family has suffered a lot in this village, and sending her only daughter to Yuanyuan to be a maid is the best way to keep secrets, and this half moon is also a clever one, which is the best.
As for Danzhu and Mama Zhuang, one is to be brought back to the house to settle down, and the other is also at the age of going home to retire, so there will be no incident.
Everyone met, and asked Zi Sheng to bring a few maids in to see Yiying, Zi Sheng knew it in his heart and was not surprised. The other few were very surprised, this county lord who had been sick in Zhuangzi for so many years, there were many people who were rumored to have serious diseases, but they didn't expect to see that their complexions were so good, and they only felt that their bodies were thinner, which was really amazing.
"Yesterday, Mother Yang came over to talk back, saying that the county lord's illness has been cured, and when I look at it today, my complexion is really much better. In this case, there is no need to stay in this Zhuangzi anymore. Min Yuan glanced at Yiying with a smile, and then said: "Zisheng, when we return to the palace in a while, you will send someone back to Beijing to report the news, and we will leave for Beijing tomorrow." ā
Zisheng said with a smile: "The county lord is admittedly not a little sick, the old man and the eldest young master know it, and they must be very happy." ā
A few other lower-grade maidservants suddenly felt in their hearts, they only knew that Mother Yang from Zhuangzi came to Xu's house yesterday, but they didn't know why. Not many people knew about Yiying's entry into the Xu family, and they never thought of it, but it was a great joy for the Xue family that the sick and weak county lord finally came out.
On the evening of that day, Min Yuan took Yiying back to Anping's palace together. The palace covers an area of more than 90 acres, with countless pavilions and pavilions, the corridor waist is mangyback, the eaves are green tiles, and there is a royal majesty. It's just that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and because Min Yuan doesn't come to live often, there aren't many servant girls to serve.
Min Yuan instructed people to pack their bags and rested. The mother and daughter slept in the same bed tonight, Yiying told her mother a lot of things when she was a child, watched the lanterns with Zhou Lang and Bai Mingyuan, crossed the Han River in a small boat, and made kites......
Thinking of Bai Mingyuan, she couldn't help but smile slightly. On the third day after he sent himself to Xu's house, he left under the pretext that there was something at home. His mother wanted to give him a large sum of gold and silver, but he didn't ask for it, so his mother proposed to let the Bai family participate in the imperial merchant bidding next spring, Bai Mingyuan hesitated for a long time, but still agreed. This is a great opportunity for the entire Bai family. To become an imperial businessman, in addition to having a certain backer, one's own strength is also very important.
Yiying sincerely hopes that these people who are good to themselves can live happily and carefree.
Min Won smiled as she listened to her daughter talk about her future and the time she was involved in, but fortunately, most of the time, she was happy. In the future, she will also let her live without a trace of gloom.
The mother and daughter chatted intermittently for more than an hour, and finally became sleepy and fell asleep.
The candle burns out, and the night will dawn.
