1. Chapter 1 Return to Beijing

Next Chapter

In the twilight of spring, the spring flowers in the south of the Yangtze River wither, and the fragrant flowers gradually disappear, but the spring color in Xijing is just right. Uh, no, it shouldn't be called Xijing anymore, it should be called Shangdu. Last year, because of the beginning of the war in the world, the northern and southern barbarians all returned to the Shun dynasty, called the ministers and tribute, the sage issued a decree for this, changed the Yuan Yongping, and changed the imperial capital Xijing to the capital.

The weather is getting warmer, and thousands of sails are competing for the crossing on the Wei River. The closer to the capital, the denser the ships became, and when they approached the capital, the grain ships and the official ships gradually diverged and entered their own ways.

Among the many official ships, there was one that looked particularly delicate and elegant, with more than a dozen frigates accompanying the ship, followed by a dozen or so large ships full of loads, far ahead.

The dock was in sight, and the fleet was moving more slowly, but a small boat was moving quickly towards the pier.

On the dock, Zhang Wang, the third housekeeper of the Yasukuni Mansion, was waiting here early, and he couldn't help but stretch his neck to look at the river in the distance. Not far behind him, a man dressed in a crimson narrow-sleeved round-necked shirt, calm and a little heroic, surrounded by layers of guards and servants, also looked into the distance from time to time.

The boat approached the pier, and before the boat could dock, the man on the boat jumped up and landed lightly on the pier. When Zhang Wang saw the visitor, he didn't feel a smile on his face, and took a few steps before he reached out to hold the visitor, and when the man saw him, he pressed his head and bowed, "Daddy." ”

"Hurry up, Shiro-kun and the fourth lady are coming." Zhang Wang hurriedly pulled up his son, there were tears in his eyes, but it was inconvenient to say more at this time.

Zhang Qi nodded hurriedly, "Lang Jun has arrived, send his son to report the news." ”

When Zhang Wang heard this, he hurriedly let go of his son, walked a few steps to Su Zhengyuan, the eldest son of the prince of Yasukuni, and said happily: "Shaolangjun, Shilangjun has arrived." ”

Su Zhengyuan was slightly overjoyed, he had been waiting for the fourth uncle here for two days, raised his hand and straightened his clothes, stepped forward, and whispered to Zhang Wang: "Send someone back to report to grandmother and mother." After speaking, he took the servants behind him and walked to the edge of the dock.

As soon as Su Zhoucheng got off the boat, he saw his nephew coming over with a happy face, and when he was about to get in front of him, he took a few steps forward and bowed down directly, "My nephew has seen the fourth uncle." He hurriedly pulled the person up, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then smiled: "I haven't seen him for five years, Ziqian has grown a lot taller, and he is becoming more and more similar to his eldest brother." Since the last time he returned to Beijing to report on work, his nephews have grown up. Although he sighed in his heart, he didn't forget to turn around and beckon his two sons, "I haven't seen your brother yet." ”

Su Zhengyuan just saw the fourth uncle followed by two plump and pleasant, outstanding young men, between the eyebrows, there are six or seven points similar to the fourth uncle, and he can vaguely see the appearance of childhood. Think about it, the fourth uncle went to Jiangnan for 12 years, at that time, the two brothers were still just drooping children, but now they are Fenghua teenagers.

Zheng Xun and Zheng Ze took a few steps forward, rushed to the ground first, and said, "I've seen the eldest brother!" ”

Su Zhengyuan hurriedly returned the salute, and after seeing the salute, the three brothers looked at each other and smiled. Zhengyuan said to Su Zhoucheng: "Fourth uncle, where is my uncle, my nephew should go and see him." As he was talking, he saw a group of servant women on the boat with various small cages coming down first, followed by twelve maidservants in light green dresses holding all kinds of utensils, and then I saw several pretty maids supporting a pair of elegant mother and daughter slowly coming.

As soon as Su Zhoucheng saw that his wife and daughter had come down, he took a few steps over and stretched out his hand to help his wife. Over there, the two brothers Zhengxun and Zhengze also took over their sister, and the two of them looked at their sister from head to toe several times with four eyes, and they were relieved to make sure that there was nothing wrong with her. On the way back to Beijing, the little sister had a serious illness because she was greedy for the scenery on the way, coupled with the fatigue of the journey, and she was recuperated in the eastern capital for a long time before she could be considered well.

"Uncle."

Lu Hui helped Su Zhengyuan up and said with a smile: "After a few years, Ziqian has become unrecognizable." The day before yesterday, I read a letter from home and said, you are already married? ”

Su Zhengyuan's face turned red, his head was slightly bowed, slightly astringent, and he replied in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Seeing him like this, Lu Hui didn't say anything more, but just beckoned his daughter, "Ashu, come to see your eldest brother." He smiled and said to Su Zhengyuan: "You haven't seen Ah Shu yet." ”

"Hmm." This little sister was born to the fourth uncle and the fourth uncle and mother in Jiangnan, and she has never returned to Shangdu.

"I've seen my eldest brother." Su Yan bowed down.

Even though Su Zhengyuan had seen countless beauties, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the tenth sister of the fourth uncle's family. The twelve-year-old girl is the time when the buds are budding, although they have not yet grown, but they have begun to show their peerless appearance. He felt that he was also a rich man, and it was difficult to find the right words to describe this little sister for a while. His own sister-in-law was born beautiful and dignified, with the reputation of the imperial capital Shuangzhu, and was a rare beauty, but when she saw this little sister, she felt that her sister's appearance was a little bland.

"Eldest brother." Zheng Xun glared at his younger brother who was snickering, and came over to talk to Zheng Yuan, who was still a little unrefreshed, "Ah......" Su Zhengyuan came back to his senses, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, seeing that his sister was stunned, and he really wanted to die.

Seeing this, Su Yan pursed her lips and smiled, and stood back beside her mother. This brother looks majestic and heroic, which makes people feel good at first sight. has a brother like this, presumably the sisters in the family are also unusual and beautiful, and she has some expectations in her heart. Since she was a child, she is the only girl in the family, although her parents and brothers love her very much, but it is inevitable that she is a little lonely, thinking that it would be good if she had an older sister or sister to grow up with.

After the greetings, Su Zhengyuan invited his uncle and sister to get into the car, led a few horses, asked his uncle and cousin to ride, left the housekeeper Zhang Wang, and took over the matter of settling down and saluting and the servants of the fourth uncle's family.

On the side of the Yasukuni Mansion, the servant who had reported the news before flew down and dismounted in front of the mansion, and he didn't have time to wipe the sweat off his face, and hurriedly said to Su Qi, the chief butler who ran out: "The chief steward, Shirojun has arrived, and the eldest young monarch asked me to come back to report the news." ”

Su Qi's face suddenly bloomed with a smile, and he said, "I know, you go down and rest." Then he turned around and ran happily to the house.

After the second gate, a little girl watched the big housekeeper Su Qi from a distance and squinted towards the main house, and also turned around and ran to the inner house.

"Sister Biwu, Sister Biwu......" The little girl ran into Fangyuan, and saw Biwu in a light blue dress, opened the curtain and came out, and hurriedly ran over.

Biwu's face was slightly solemn, and she lowered her voice: "Stop, the girl is reading, what are you doing yelling!" ”

The little girl stopped in a sneer, lowered her head slightly, her hands were tangled together, and she didn't dare to speak, "I was wrong, sister." ”

"What are you training her to do, the girl also said yesterday, let us not be too restrained with them, it is the age of innocence and liveliness, and it is so much that it is boring." Cuiliu heard the voice, and hurriedly came out, talking to Biwu while smiling and beckoning at the little girl, "Come here, your sister Biwu is also for your good, the girl is lenient, but we can't lose our proportions." ”

"Well, I see, Sister Cui."

"Your name is Xiaoxing, hurry back but what's the hurry?" Cuiliu was born with a smiling face, a pretty face that should be hated and happy, the corners of her lips were slightly upturned, and it was like laughing if she didn't smile. She has a good temperament, and she smiles when she meets people, and in the Guogong Mansion, the big and small girls have a good relationship with her.

Xiao Xing said: "I heard from the steward, Shiro-kun has already arrived at the dock." Someone had just come to report the news, and the chief housekeeper had already gone to the old lady to report the good news. ”

Cuiliu patted the little girl's shoulder and said with a smile: "I know." He took off a small sachet he was carrying and handed it to the little girl, "Take it and play with it." ”

Xiao Xinghuan thanked Cuiliu happily and jumped away.

Bi Wu sneered: "It's still our sister Cui, who has a good temperament and is generous, and she can't be liked by everyone." ”

Cuiliu didn't say much, smiled lightly, turned her head and picked up the curtain and went into the house. Biwu stomped her foot hatefully, turned around and walked towards her room. She and Lutong were on night duty yesterday, and today the girl's room should be served by Cuiliu and Qingzhu.

In the Fangyuan study, the north windows are all open, a large case is placed under the window, a girl in a goose yellow short Confucian light purple dress stands in front of the desk, the gorgeous peach blossoms in the pen and the scorching peach Su outside the window reflect each other.

The delicate girl in the light green dress stood quietly on the side, and Cuiliu came in, and without saying much, she quietly stood beside Qingzhu. When Su Rong put down the pen and the two waited for her to wash her hands, she quietly replied.

Su Rong was slightly stunned, and suddenly laughed again, and his voice was inaudible: "Finally back." ”

"Girl......"

Su Rong casually threw the handkerchief into the basin, got up lightly, and ordered with a smile: "Change your clothes, let's go and say hello to my grandmother." ”
