The mother and daughter left the house and did not go to the courtyard of Mrs. Xuanpingbo, but entered Peng's house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as he entered the house, the Peng family couldn't wait to ask, "Hui'er, has Pingxuan really returned home?" ”

"I've gone home, but I've changed my clothes and left the house again." Chen Hui had already sent people to the courtyard where Chen Pingxuan lived in the outer courtyard to confirm it, so this would be extremely certain.

"Out of the house again? Know where to go? Peng asked with a frown.

Chen Hui shook her head, the person she sent to inquire didn't ask for more information than to make sure that Chen Pingxuan had indeed returned to the house.

Peng's brows couldn't help but furrow.

According to what Chen Hui said, Chen Pingxuan has been to the rockery by the lake, since this is the case, he must understand what this lotus reward meeting is for today, why did he go out of the house quietly?

Don't......

No, no, his son is going to be an uncle in the future, no, he is going to be a marquis, or even a grandfather of the country, how can he marry a woman from such a low background and become a wife, not to mention that the woman has even set a day for Xiaoding.

"Where's your father?" It took a while for Peng to ask.

"Didn't my mother let my father go out to meet friends?" Chen Hui was asked by Peng's black line, and almost blurted out another sentence, "How do I know where people are?" Fortunately, I swallowed it back, otherwise I would not have been reprimanded by Peng.

After thinking about it, since Chen Pingxuan has come back, it means that his injuries are fine, and Wang Xiuying is still in his own mansion and can't turn the sky over, so let's do today's lotus reward party first.

So he waved his hand at Chen Hui, lowered his voice and said, "Okay, I know that Pingxuan is fine, I will rest assured." You go to the lake to entertain guests, keep an eye on Wang Xiuying for me, don't let her entangle Pingxuan. ”

Chen Hui opened his mouth to refute Peng, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth.

What kind of person is her own mother, can she still not know?

I feel too good about myself, and it is useless to persuade me.

Wang Xiuying made it clear that she had no intention of Chen Pingxuan, and it was Chen Pingxuan who was intentional, but in Peng's eyes, it became Wang Xiuying's intention to entangle Chen Pingxuan.

Fortunately, Peng also knew that if he lowered his voice, he would really ruin Wang Xiuying's reputation.

The mother and daughter came out of the house after speaking, and were about to go back to greet the guests, but they saw the doorkeeper of the second gate running over panting, and soon arrived in front of Peng's mother and daughter.

Peng couldn't help frowning, glared at his mother-in-law and said angrily: "What are you running, I bumped into the distinguished guest, see if I don't tear your skin!" Say, what is it? ”

"Madam, big ...... There was news from the other side of the gate, and the long ...... Someone from Changningbo Mansion is here, please ask Mrs. Changningbo and the ladies to return to the house quickly. The mother-in-law gasped twice, and finally found her own voice to report.

"Changning Bo Mansion? But what is the reason? Peng and Chen Hui glanced at each other, and couldn't help but have a "grunt" in their hearts, and Peng quickly asked.

The gatekeeper shook her head: "The gate only said that people from Changningbo's Mansion came to spread the word and let people return to the house, but they didn't explain the reason. ”

Suddenly remembered something and added: "The slave maid listened to the word from the other side of the gate, but I am afraid that it is a happy event." ”

Wedding? That wouldn't be related to Chen Pingxuan, Peng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The retreat from the banquet in the middle of the Changning Bo Mansion will naturally cause a lot of suspicion, which makes the Peng family unhappy.

However, since Changningbo Mansion sent someone to send a letter, Peng's family couldn't pretend not to know, so he had to ask Chen Hui to go to the lake to inform the young ladies of Changningbo Mansion who came to the meeting today, and she returned to the flower hall by herself.

Mrs. Changningbo, Zhang, was sitting and talking with Wang Zixuan's future mother-in-law affectionately, and when they saw Peng's face not looking good, they came straight to them, and the three of them stopped chatting and looked over.

Peng looked at Zhang: "Bofu sent someone to spread the word, so that Mrs. and a few sisters can return to the house quickly." ”

Peng's voice was not high, and he couldn't hear joy and anger, but it still made Zhang's heart jump suddenly, and the first reaction was that Wang Xiuting, who stayed in the house, made some trouble again, although she tried her best to suppress her emotions, her face was still a little uneasy.

Seeing that Zhang's face, who had always been steady and often compared with his own by his mother-in-law, changed, Peng felt a little happy in his heart, and pretended to comfort: "Madame, don't worry, the gate says that it is only a happy event." ”

Although Peng said that it was a happy event, he just bit the word "happy event" a little heavier, which made Zhang, who knew Peng's knot well, a little more worried.

It's just that at this time, she has gradually suppressed her emotions, her face has returned to her former calm and self-controlled, and she hurriedly said goodbye to several familiar ladies and left the flower hall.

At this time, several sisters who got the news had already hurried over, although Chen Hui said the words of the gatekeeper, "I'm afraid it's a happy event", the expressions of several people were still a little solemn.

If it is not a major event, it is extremely impolite to call back a family member who was a guest at someone else's house halfway.

The group was sent to the second gate by the housekeeper Mama Peng's side, and the carriage of Changningbo's Mansion was already waiting there, and hurriedly got into the carriage all the way back to the house without saying a word, got off the carriage at the second gate, and saw the water Mama next to the old lady at a glance.

Seeing the smile on Mama Shui's face, everyone's hearts finally fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" Zhang asked the doubts in everyone's hearts.

"Good thing, happy thing!" As soon as Mama Shui opened her mouth, she completely calmed everyone's hearts: "The uncle and the second master came back with a message respectively, and there will be a holy decree in the palace at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the old lady asked everyone to go back and change their clothes and wait for the order."

By the way, the old lady specially instructed Mother Yang to dress up the fifth lady neatly. ”

Could it be that today's holy decree is for Wang Xiuying?!

The hour had come to an end, and although there were all kinds of doubts, everyone hurried back to wash and change their clothes.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the middle door of Changningbo's Mansion was opened, and Wang Yicheng and others, who were originally on errands in the Yamen, also returned home, taking the men, women and children in each room on both sides of the incense case, quietly waiting for the arrival of the holy decree.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the eunuch arrived at Changningbo's mansion on time.

It was Gonggong Xuan who came to Changningbo's Mansion to announce the decree, and with Gonggong Xuan's voice "The decree has arrived, Wang Xiuying has come to receive the decree", although he guessed that today's decree was only related to himself, but when he really heard this decree, it still made Wang Xiuying have a moment of stagnation.

The old lady beside her gently pushed her, Wang Xiuying came to her senses and hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down in front of the eunuch Xuanzhi, and behind her knelt were the old and young of Changning Bofu.

Xuan Gonggong's voice was a little shrill and thin, but it was not difficult to hear: "I am blessed with the Empress Dowager's mercy...... The Queen Mother was very pleased when she heard this, and she specially pointed out that she was married to the general of Dingyuan, and chose an auspicious day to complete the marriage. ”

Wang Xiuying heard a large number of words in the holy decree, especially after listening to the long paragraph of beautiful words, I only felt that the woman who was "dignified, cautious, gentle and courteous, has the quality of Hui Softness, Soft and Virtuous, has the beauty of peace and integrity, is quiet and upright, moves and admires the sum of Hengpei, is skillful in courtesy, respects the festival of the night, and is lax in diligence" The woman is so strange!

Although there were all kinds of complaints in his heart, when he received the decree and kowtowed to thank him and raised his hands to receive the decree, Wang Xiuying was not chaotic at all, and Xuan Gonggong nodded again and again and secretly sighed that this woman was not famous, but it was extremely in line with the praise in the holy decree.
