No matter what reason the emperor had, he drafted this sealed letterhead to let Shu'e return, and no matter why there was no return date for returning to his family and relatives.

The carriage kept running all the way, entered the city gate, walked up the avenue, passed through the bustling crowd, and before the sun set, it had reached the wall of Cao's mansion.

Before the carriage had stopped, the crackling of firecrackers could already be heard.

Lilac stretched out her hand to lift the corner of the curtain, and the car had already asked about the peculiar smell of gunpowder. The eyes are full of red confetti that explode and fall, in this non-festive time, telling that this famous family will usher in a vast heavenly grace again.

It seems to be the same day as the day of the palace, the sound of firecrackers is mixed with the sound of horses' hooves and the rattle of the axles. The car followed the large and small people of the Cao family, and watched the carriage go away.

It's just that on that day, there were the old man and the wife standing behind Shu'e's carriage, followed by the four young masters, they rode high-headed horses, and saw each other off in Shu'e's carriage, and today, Master Cao still led everyone to stand in front of the gate to greet each other, but Mrs. Cao didn't know where to stand.

Before and after the carriage, there were many more ceremonial guards, a pair of palace maids in colorful clothes holding green umbrellas, bead umbrellas, canopy umbrellas, tassel fans, and a pair of palace maids holding gold incense burners in their hands, slowly walking in front of the carriage.

Shu E's heart was full of chestnuts, and she was at a loss for a while. Just looking out from behind the second veil of veil, hoping to see the person in the crowd.

However, what made the panic in Shu E's heart gloomy was the third young master Rannuo, who did not appear here.

A joyful voice whispered from the side of the car, "Ma'am." ”

Shu E and Lilac were both happy in their hearts, Ju Dou actually arrived earlier than them. Fortunately, the cloves and chrysanthemums are there, and Shu E feels a little at ease.

The horse slowly stopped, and Shu E was about to get out of the car to see, when she suddenly heard a somewhat unfamiliar voice outside the car say: "Mrs. Anguo, please drive directly into the house." ”

Shu E remembered that this voice was the voice of her uncle and the master of Cao Mansion, Cao Xi. Immediately afterwards, the old man said: "Come to Si, you take the two fathers-in-law into the house for dinner, and let Su Hua greet all the envoys who accompany Mrs. Anguo; Keming, you lead all the guards to stop and rest, and go to the side hall to eat. ”

Cao Pei, the eldest young master of the Cao family, thinks about the word on the table, Cao Jia, the second young master, and Keming on the table. And the young master's wife, the eldest young grandmother, is called Su Hua.

Lilac was about to lift the curtain for Shu'e, but when she heard the old man say this outside the car, she stretched out her hand and involuntarily stopped again, looking at Shu'e in amazement. After a while, the carriage began to move slowly again, and Lilac suddenly sneered and said in a low voice: "Even if you become a lady of the country, they still don't dare to let you see people!" ”

The place where the carriage stopped again was the Moyun Hall of Miss Shuyan.

There were no servants or maids around, and even the people who drove the carriage were gone. This was originally expected, Shu E pretended to be Shuyan to enter the palace, and only a few people in the mansion knew about this identity, since it was reasonable to avoid people's eyes and ears and send everyone away.

The old man didn't know when he had rushed to Shu'e's head and stood in front of the door with a smile. Standing behind the old man was Ju Dou, who had not seen him for many days and was even more haggard. Ju Dou beside him, there are a few vermilion lacquer boxes, painted with gold pattern flowers, very exquisite.

When Shu E saw the master, she couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness in her heart. Thinking of her deceased mother, Shu E's eyes were sour, and she bowed to the master.

The old man hurriedly asked Lilac and Ju Dou to help Shu'e up, and asked Shu'e to get up.

There was silence in the Moyun Hall, not only was there no trace of Shuyan, but even the maids and servants who originally served here were gone. Shu E looked around and looked back at the master.

The old man seemed to see through Shu E's mind at a glance, and said with a smile: "The girl has entered the palace, and it is inconvenient for anyone to live here." ”

Shu E nodded and asked softly, "What about the girl?" ”

The old man's face suddenly showed a sad color, and Shu'e and Lilac Judou both looked at him, and there was a faint sense of ominousness in their hearts. After a while, I heard the old man say: "The family is unfortunate, and it is really embarrassing." Since Madame entered the palace, Shuyan has moved to the backyard. A few days ago, a few days ago......"

When the old man said this, he raised his hand and sighed slightly, and continued in a low voice: "I gave birth to a son." It's just that Shuyan hasn't come out of the moon yet, so she can't come to thank Mrs. Xie for her great kindness. ”

Shu'e, Lilac, and Ju Dou were not infected by the guilt and sadness of the old man, and the three of them laughed at each other when they heard that Shuyan had given birth to a son.

The old man said to Shu E: "Mrs. Anguo was ordered to return to the house, and everyone in the mansion felt the same honor. should have ordered the upper and lower people to wait to come to see Mrs. before it was polite. Just ......"

Shu E heard the voice of the master's words, and hurriedly said: "The little girl is tired of the carriage and horses, and she feels very tired, and the master's kindness has to be understood." Sister Lilac—" Shu E turned around and shouted, "You reward the people who serve in the mansion on my behalf, and thank them for taking care of the lord and lady for me." ”

Lilac replied, and Shu E said to the lord again: "The little girl accidentally hurt her face in the palace, and you need to wear a veil when entering and exiting, and please inform everyone in the house, don't take it seriously." ”

The old man smiled and nodded, his expression was very satisfied, he arched his hand to Shu E, pointed to the few vermilion lacquer boxes and said with a smile: "What Madame brought from the palace must be precious and rare things." If you want to reward the people, I will send some money with money. As for the servants and maids who came to serve, I immediately procured them. ”

Shu E hurriedly said: "Master don't bother, the little girl is so quiet, it's enough to have cloves and chrysanthemum beans to serve." ”

Lilac looked at the old man's distant figure and said softly: "The old man was a very careful person, but I didn't think it before. ”

Shu E sighed silently, turned around and saw Ju Dou standing on the side, separated, the more intimate she felt, the three of them met and told about other things.

Ju Dou's figure looked thinner, and his face was more haggard than when he was separated, and he hurried to Cao's Mansion from Ouchi, which was very tired. However, when I heard Lilac talk about Shu'e in the palace, she was very focused.

Listening to Ding Xiang talk about Shu E's being framed by Yang Jieyu in Huaxiangju, Yang Jieyu's promotion from a beauty to Jieyu, and Yang Jieyu's pretending to have a miscarriage and losing a child, her expression has been very nervous.

When I heard Lilac talk about Shu E's sudden departure from the palace this time, her expression became even more solemn.

Ju Dou didn't say much, but her mind was quite thoughtful, and she was quick to see the opportunity, Lilac saw that she was listening attentively, so she asked: "Today's things are really strange." Ju Dou, you have a smart brain and a fine mind, tell me, what is the reason? ”

Ju Dou said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but I have learned the ability to pat myself on the back with a sweet mouth, and I will wear a high hat as soon as I meet." Then he smiled again and said to Lilac: "Madame can see through Yang Jieyu's treacherous schemes, and her wisdom and mind are naturally a hundred times better than me." Madame can't even think of things, where is my room to put my beak? ”

Lilac smiled: "You still say that I have a sweet mouth, what about yourself?" ”

Ju Dou smiled, and then said: "I can't answer the doubts in Madame's heart, but I have a few doubts to ask Madame." ”
