The old man and the wife looked at each other in amazement, but they couldn't hide their sorrow in their joy. The wife shook her head again and again and said, "How can I do that?" ”

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go and greet the eldest daughter-in-law." ”

Shu E said: "The young grandmother has been running all the way, and she is very tired, and it is only this one person who greets her repeatedly, but it seems that there is no one in the house." ”

"There are still many relatives and daughters in the clan today, let them go and greet them." Mrs. said.

"Isn't that rude?" Shu E said: "Relatives and relatives are not as solemn as the people of this family. The lord and wife are in-laws, so naturally they can't go. There was only one left in the house that I could go to. Besides, the person who sent the new daughter-in-law did not see the third young master at the gate, and he was also puzzled. ”

The wife said with some flattery: "You are a noble person, how can you go to meet her......

Shu E was a little unhappy in her heart, and said lightly: "The holy decree has been issued, and it has become a well-known thing that the third young master is not at home. Does the wife still want to invite the second young master to greet her relatives? ”

Waving lightly to Lilac and Ju Dou, Shu E walked straight along the red carpet towards the gate.

The red carpet leads straight to the gate, and although there are forks in the road to other parts of the house, you can't go wrong. Yes, the future is already doomed, just go ahead. Since the day he entered the palace, no, since the day he was grabbed by his wife and let himself pretend to be Shuyan, all the directions for today have been predetermined. The third young master is destined to marry a girl from the Shang family, and he is also destined to become a member of the harem.

The road is set, whether it is fast, slow, rugged, or interrupted, there will be a day when it will reach the end.

In the continuous sound of firecrackers, Miss Shang's guard of honor got closer and closer.

The ladies of the relatives of the Cao Mansion who surrounded Shu'e covered their ears one by one, although they didn't dare to dodge, they inevitably shrank a little in their manners, and Shu'e stood quietly in the broken red everywhere.

Lilac Judou stepped forward and said, "Shu'e, you are not afraid of shaking your ears." ”

Shu E smiled back and shook her head gently, something in her eyes sparkled. Ju Dou pulled the sleeve of the clove and waved her hand to tell her not to speak.

Before the guard of honor approached, Shu E had already walked out of the gate.

After dozens of pairs of blowing and beating, there were four pairs of beautiful maids carrying big red palace lights. Miss Shang sits on a red-silk gold-topped sedan chair with eight lifts, a pair of brides are left and right, and a sedan chair carried by four people behind her, thinking that it is the female dependents of the Shang family, and there are several freshly painted carts. Behind the most lull is a pair of male servants with red scarves on their heads, carrying more than a dozen large boxes of vermilion lacquer, and all they want to put are the dowries of the girls of the Shang family.

The doors of Cao's Mansion had already been opened, and Shu E whispered a few words to the salutes beside her. Lizan said loudly: "Shu Meiren Cao personally welcomes his brother Cao You!" Please enter the sedan chair! ”

The procession of relatives stood still, and the sound of blowing and beating stopped one after another. The bride who sent off the relatives was also a person who had seen it, and after looking at the praise and Shu'e, she was going to instruct the sedan chair man to put down the sedan chair.

Shu E took a few steps, walked to the side of the bride, raised her hand to stop the sedan chair man, stopped the bride who was about to salute, and said: "My brother has newly sealed the official position, and when the official business is over, he will return home in a few days." At that time, we will make up a big gift with Linzhou County. Today, the little sister welcomes the younger brother on behalf of the brother. ”

Shu E deliberately said these words aloud, and the girl in the sedan chair had already heard it.

Xi Niangwu was puzzled and said, "Linzhou County Jun? What is the ...... of Linzhou"

"It's the second girl of the Shang family, Shang Wanyun. The wife of my brother Cao You, the wife of the emperor's decree. Shu E said to the sedan chair.

Xi Niang's face was full of disbelief and joy, Shu E nodded, signaled the team to move forward, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted by a pair of slender hands as white as jade.

The second girl of the Shang family was covered in red embroidered auspicious clothes, and her head was covered with a Xipa. The whole body is covered with bright red and brilliant embroidery, and only a pair of bare hands are exposed.

"The little woman has seen Shu Meiren." Across Xipa, Miss Shang's voice was still crisp, "Mother Wang, kowtow to the beautiful lady for me." ”

Shu E hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop and said, "Sister-in-law, why do you have to do these false courtesies? And it's not a place to meet. ”

Miss Shang nodded, and Shu E saw that her hands suddenly grabbed the red silk pleated skirt and asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you say?" ”

There was a short silence in the sedan chair, and Miss Shang suddenly asked, "May I ask the little ...... Little sister, where is your brother? He ......"

Shu E was slightly stunned, only then did she realize Miss Shang's lingering and shy daughter's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Brother An's good, but he still has official business." Please rest assured. ”

Miss Shang's jade-like hands slowly loosened and folded them on her knees. Shu E put down the curtain of the sedan chair and nodded to Xi Niang.

The team slowly walked in.

Seeing that Shu E was stunned, Lilac and Ju Dou hurriedly grabbed Shu E's arm and walked in together.

There is no salute for the newlyweds, but because of the emperor's decree, the ceremony after the bride gets off the sedan chair is not simple. The tide of greeting guests in Cao's mansion did not lose their interest because of the absence of the third young master, and all kinds of praises for the third young master, such as "young and promising", "deserved", "glorious court", "country first and then family", all kinds of praise for the third young master still continued to reach the ears of Master Cao and Mrs. Cao.

And for such a sudden reversal, the faces of the lord and the wife could no longer be expressed with other expressions except smiles. On the same day, Cao Li was named a beauty, the third young master Ran promised to take over the marriage, and was named the commander of the Ma Army, and the bride Shangjia girl was named the county monarch of Linzhou. The rewards and good fortunes that many princely mansions could not get for several years came at the same time.

Because the third young master has not come back yet, the Xipa on the bride's head has not been removed, and Shang Wanyun was sent to the new house of Youran Yuan after being carried by the maid to meet the old lady. Although there was no big ceremony, the Cao family has unanimously changed their words, calling Shang Wanyun "the third young grandmother".

Shu E returned to Moyun Hall, washed the wound on her shoulder, and asked Ju Dou: "Shang Cairen is injured, I don't know if Miss Shang knows the way." ”

"It's the third young grandmother." Lilac interjected.

"You're afraid that other people's words will fall to the ground and shatter, and the interface will end so quickly." Ju Dou scolded with a smile: "It's just a name, why bother to be serious?" Besides, there is no chapel yet. ”

"What if you don't have a chapel? Didn't you hear that when she visited the lord and his wife just now, didn't she call her father and mother? Didn't the people in the house also call the third young grandmother? Lilac argued.

Ju Dou looked at Shu E, although the veil had been temporarily removed, she couldn't see any change in Shu E's expression.

"Sister Lilac is right, it's better to change your words." Shu E suddenly said: "The third young master is not at home, she is already worried enough, if she is called Miss Shang again, I am afraid that she will be heartfelt, but it seems that even the people in the house don't recognize her." ”

"It's better not to talk about the affairs of the talented people, Madame." Ju Dou said.

Lilac couldn't help but glance at Ju Dou, and whispered, "It's not a lady anymore......" Seeing Ju Dou's eyes again and again, she finally didn't say anything.

Shu E didn't hear it, but said: "I also want to not tell her first, today is her big day." We don't know what happened to Lu Dao Shangcai, and she has to wait a few days to enter the palace, so it is useless to let her worry in advance. Ah......h

Lilac and Ju Dou were both startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Shu E stood up and said eagerly: "What about Tanglin? Looking at Lilac and Ju Dou's blank looks, he said again: "It's the king of Guangling County, that little prince!" Where is he? ”

Lilac breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "He came to give a congratulatory gift, talked to you for a while, and left!" ”

Shu E's fist lightly tapped on the table and said, "Why did he leave?" When did I leave, how did I not know the way? What about the people around him? ”

Lilac and Ju Dou looked at each other, couldn't help laughing, and said, "After you took the order, you went out to greet your relatives, and he said goodbye to the master." I think there are too many people coming in and out of the gate, and you don't see it. His retinue, naturally, all went with him. Yes, Shu'e, how did you know this King of Guangling County? ”

Shu E was distracted, and said slowly after a moment: "How could you go like this?" This is not her usual temper. I was afraid that she would make trouble when I went to greet her, but I didn't expect her to say goodbye without saying goodbye. I don't know where I went, and when I will see you again. ”

Shu E pondered for a moment, reached out and picked up the veil, and said to Lilac and Ju Dou: "Let's go to Yangxin Garden first, and then go to see Shuyan and her child Minghe...... After a month of separation, I don't know what happened to them. ”

"Miss Shuyan's body is better, but we can't go out, and we can't go to see her often." Lilac said: "It's just that she always feels a little uncomfortable in her heart, but fortunately she no longer has soft thoughts now." ”

"It's just that the boy is as big as a day, and he can't hide behind the garden forever." Ju Dou said, "Mrs. Gu's side...... Mrs. Gu sent a lot of things to Shuyan, and often took care of their mother and son, but ......"

Shu E understood what Ju Dou meant, and said in a low voice: "The Dong Mansion is also a decent family, and will never let Shuyan and the child enter the door." As long as Mrs. Gu no longer wants to harm Minghe, that's fine. As for the shelter of Shuyan and Minghe......"

Lilac and Ju Dou wanted to say something more, and suddenly heard the voice of the housekeeper calling outside, Lilac greeted Lu and asked, it turned out that the honor guard in the palace to welcome Shu E had arrived at the gate of Cao's Mansion and was waiting for Shu Meiren.

Shu E slowly glanced around the house, bowed her head silently, and stopped talking.

The hustle and bustle of the courtyard, the gorgeous guard of honor, the festive cries of the people who greeted them, and the unfamiliar title of "Shu Meiren".

On the same day, I left home and entered the palace, and the sky was full of cold rain, and I went to the road and the clouds were deep and locked Cuiwei.

I went back to the palace today, but it was full of soft red and luxurious honor guards.

It's just that this way around, the people I want to find, the people I want to find, but Shu E doesn't know if she has found it.
