Chapter 16: Returning Home

When Yuanxin Menghan and Yao Luo came out of the welcome building, it was almost dusk. After saying goodbye to each other, Yuanxin took the horse and took Menghan to the Zhenxi Palace, Menghan was worried, and the ugly daughter-in-law was so nervous when she saw her in-laws.

Yuanxin looked uneasy and comforted, "Don't worry, my brother is the only one in the family, my brother is very good to me, and he won't do anything to you." ”

"Isn't there anyone else in your family, your grandfather told him to return to his hometown, didn't you say you have a sister?"

"Yu'an, she lives in Pingzhou with her grandfather, she didn't arrive so soon, it should be a few days."

Meng Han was on guard for a while, "Are they coming?" ”

"Can my brother not come to such a big event as getting married? Look at the scared you, it's okay, there's me. You also have times when you are afraid, hehe, it's really rare, aren't you not afraid of heaven and earth, and it's reasonable to be right against Yingfeng. Yuanxin teased her.

Thinking that I, Yao Menghan, have lived hundreds of years longer than you, but it is the first time to see the man's parents, Menghan asked, "Yuanxin, should I bring some gifts to your family?" "At least that's the case in China, it shows that I'm polite and reasonable.

Yuanxin vetoed, "No need, what can be bought with money, my brother may not be able to look down on it." ”

"Oh, what kind of person is your brother, he became a big official at a young age, he should be very powerful, will he be very strict?"

Yuanxin blinked his eyes and said with a wicked smile, "You will know when you see it, at least it won't eat you." Turn a corner, and you're in front of you. ”

"Wait, wait, can I do this?" Meng Han looked at himself, the ancient clothes were troublesome to wear, the three layers inside and the three layers outside were dragged and dragged on, and the wide sleeved robe and long skirt were streamlined by Meng Han a lot. The hair bun with complicated hair is obviously not a modern person, and I learned so simple a few hands when I was a girl before, but I didn't bother to take care of it, and the high ponytail was tied with a head rope, which looked a bit like a chivalrous girl. It's no wonder that Lu Ding'an was unceremonious to her, if it was a weak woman like a small jasper, maybe the children would still feel distressed.

Yuanxin smiled, "Look at you nervous, it's okay, it's good, it's weird if you dress up with me and show off like everyone." ”

"Okay," Menghan cautiously followed behind Yuanxin with a worried heart.

Compared with the noisy downtown area, this generation is all official mansions, which are naturally much quieter. Turn the corner, you will see a solemn compound, "Zhenxi Wangfu" bronzing four characters hang high, in front of the door a left and right two stone lions are majestic and majestic, all show that the owner of this house is extraordinary.

Before entering the door, the gatekeeper smiled, and hurriedly went up to pick up Yuanxin's horse and the things in his hand, "The second young master is back!" ”

Yuanxin held Menghan's hand and signaled her not to be nervous, "What about my brother?" ”

"Inside, inside, Second Young Master, come in."

As soon as she entered the house, the girls in the courtyard were all happy when she saw it, Guo'er was Yuanxin's maid, and she was even more overjoyed, and rushed to Cheng Zheng's study, "Big young master!" The second young master is back! ”

Cheng Zheng strode out when he heard the shouting, showing a rare smile, and saw Yuanxin and Menghan holding hands, and knew seven or eight points in his heart.

"The second young master quickly sits inside, and the slave maid goes to prepare tea." Guo'er enthusiastically led a few people into the main hall.

Yuanxin spoke first: "Brother, this is Menghan. ”

"You kid doesn't come back once a year, and you don't say hello to me first."

Yuanxin said sourly, "Your Hou Ye is all mixed up, can it be bad?" Besides, these are all married people, where is my turn to care. ”

Cheng Zheng blamed lightly: "It's getting bigger and smaller." ”

"Little girl Yao Menghan, meet for the first time, please take care of your eldest brother in the future." Meng Hanfu saluted, this chivalrous outfit, not a bow salute but a blessing salute, such a mix and match, it looks a little awkward.

Yuanchen coughed lightly: "The girl can enter the eyes of Yuanxin, and there is indeed something outstanding." ”

Is this an endorsement? What makes it special? How can you see it? Where am I exposed? Menghan's mind was spinning rapidly.

"Sit inside." Cheng Zheng said.

The three of them walked into the main hall and sat down, and Guo'er served tea, "This is this year's Ming Qian tea, the second young master will see if it fits the taste." ”

Yuanxin picked up the teacup, lifted the lid of the cup, and praised him, "It's really good tea, and the fruit has a heart." ”

Guo'er was very happy, "I'll go clean up the house for the second young master." ”

"By the way, clean up the Qiushuang Courtyard and let Miss Yao live." Cheng Zheng commanded. In addition to the main courtyard, there are four courtyards of Chunming, Xia Yin, Qiu Shuang, and Dong Xu, the main courtyard is where the old man lives, needless to say, the other three courtyards are the residence of Cheng Zheng Yuanxin and Yu An, and the rest is the wing room of the last courtyard except for the Qiu Shuang Courtyard.

"Yes." The fruit retreated.

"Me?" Menghan pointed to himself in disbelief, "I live in a yard alone? Cold Palace? ”

Menghan, don't be too straightforward, okay, Yuanxin reminded Menghan in a whisper: "Grandpa is coming back soon, it's better for you to be more restrained." ”

Menghan nodded in agreement, thinking, yes, the old people are more traditional.

"When will Grandpa arrive in Beijing?" Yuanxin asked.

"I guess it's going to take another seven or eight days. I was afraid that my grandfather's body would not be able to bear it, so I walked more slowly. ”

"That means I have seven or eight days left to live." Yuanxin sighed.

Cheng Zheng gave him a blank look, "You can't let grandpa save some snacks." ”

"Okay, I know, I will be safe and secure in this short time that my grandfather is here, and I won't make him angry."

Cheng Zheng shook his head helplessly and picked up the teacup. Yuanxin saw that Cheng Zheng had a scar on his hand and asked, "Is your hand injured?" ”

"Well, it's fine." Cheng Zheng took a look, it was already much lighter than before, the light mark cream was really effective, and it was easy to relax the muscles and bones every day, and it was no longer a hindrance to eat and write.

Yuanxin grabbed Cheng Zheng's hand and looked at it carefully, and said with concern: "What's the matter?" Is it strict? Because Yuanchen said "it's okay", not "it's okay". Cheng Zheng has always been in charge of his own faith in the distance, and the past has not been covered up by his words, which must not be a trivial matter.

"I was injured when I escorted the second princess back, and now I have seen that I am well, but I can't carry a sword for the time being." Cheng Zheng simply took it.

"And what are you going to do next?"

"The doctor said that he would be cured in a year or two, and now he is staying in Beijing." Cheng Zheng understated and smiled far-fetched.

After resting for a while, Yuanxin took Menghan to walk roughly around the mansion, and first looked at the direction of a few courtyards, so as not to get lost in the future. At this time, twilight had arrived, and the three of them had dinner together, and Yuanxin personally sent Menghan to Qiushuang Courtyard.

"Look at how you talk like grandpa is very strict." Meng Han asked carefully, although Cheng Zheng didn't say anything to her, but Meng Han was more worried about the legendary majestic old prince.

"This, indeed." Yuanxin scratched his head, "Just look at my brother, grandpa taught it by himself." ”

"Your brother is fine, it's a bit strict, but it's not as difficult to contact as I imagined. Grandpa is different, he is an old man, will he not accept me, will he not like me? ”

Far from the bottom of his confidence, "I can't say it, you will be obedient when the time comes, don't lose your sense of proportion, I will take care of the rest." ”

Menghan leaned on Yuanxin's shoulder, "I'm so worried." It's complicated to have a big family. ”

Yuanxin pouted, "Big family? Where is it, you don't even have to serve your in-laws, and you are still miserable. ”

"Mother-in-law? By the way, Yuanxin, you finally came back once, do you want to go and see your mother? ”

Yuanxin nodded, "This is natural, why aren't you afraid now?" ”

Menghan said lightly, "Your mother has become a monk and doesn't care about the world, I think she should be a kind and kind person. ”

"That's right, my mother used to be a very loving person, friendly and generous, and when I was a child, a few friends liked to come to my house to play." Yuanxin remembered that when he was a child, happiness unconsciously appeared on his face. Mother, how happy I was when you were there.

"Yuanxin, I will definitely show myself well, let grandpa accept me, and I won't let you down."

Yuanxin hugged Menghan tightly: "Don't worry too much, there is me." ”

Menghan nodded lightly on Yuanxin's shoulder, it felt good to have something to rely on.

Yuanxin Haosheng only left after settling down with Menghan, and before he returned to his courtyard, he was stopped by Jinfeng.

"Hey, Jinfeng, long time no see." Yuanxin beckoned, if he has been with Menghan for a long time, his way of speaking has become modern.

Jin Feng made a straight face, without the slightest greeting, and said bluntly, "Young Master, please come over." ”

"Look at you, you're still so ignorant of emotions, no wonder you haven't even married a wife at such an old age." Yuanxin deliberately teased him, and Jin Feng was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he was said to be an old man.

"Mood? Does the second young master want me to flirt with you? ”

"Ahem, when I didn't say anything."

Yuanxin came to Cheng Zheng's study, knocked on the door and entered, "Brother, you look for me." ”

"Sit. Are you okay outside? ”

"Very good, much more comfortable than you are all over the body." Yuanxin smiled triumphantly.

Cheng Zheng was noncommittal, "Where did Yao Menghan come from?" ”

"There's no way to come, just meet me on the street, and bring it back if you like it." Yuanxin said very casually, it seems to be a very small thing, not Cheng Zheng knows, even if Yuanxin loves to play, he is not a person without measure, and he will not rashly take a woman home, not to mention that he is considerate and caring for her before and after.

Cheng Zheng asked him, "It's that simple?" ”

"It's as simple as that, otherwise, I said that I ruined the innocence of the lady of the big family, and people are pestering me to be responsible, do you believe it or not?"

Cheng Zheng rolled his eyes, "The young lady of the big family openly pulls and pulls with you, and she can't even be polite?" ”

Yuanxin pretended to be a savior, "So, she's a wild girl of unknown origin, a little gangster, no father and no mother, I look pitiful and accept it." ”

Cheng Zheng didn't delve into it anymore, looking at Menghan's behavior, it really didn't look like a well-educated person, "If you take it, you should take it, you should be safe before grandpa nods." ”

Yuanxin's face was embarrassed: "Brother, I said that I accepted it, not as a concubine." ”

Cheng Zheng's face was full of questions, "Do you want Ming Media to marry her as your wife?" ”

"Well, it's not impossible." Yuanxin laughed.

Cheng Zhengyan reminded him: "I advise you to give up this idea, grandpa will not agree." ”

"Let's talk about this again, you haven't gotten married yet, why am I in a hurry." Let's drag it out first, after a long time, you will acquiesce, Yuanxin made his own little calculation, "By the way, brother, I am strange when it comes to your marriage, why are you not married to the eldest princess, but the second princess?" ”

"Well, it's a long story." Cheng Zheng was sad.

Yuanxin looked expectant, "Have a story? Listen to it, there must be a big story in between. ”

"You'll gloat."

"What do you call me gloating, the princess of the family has been clamoring to marry you for a few days, it's too late for me to envy, my life is miserable, I can only marry a thug of unknown origin as a wife."

Cheng Zhengse reminded: "Don't reveal this plan to grandpa first, grandpa won't accept it lightly." ”

"I know, from time to time, you knock on the side and say a few nice words for Menghan, and grandpa has always listened to you." Yuanxin stammered with a hippie smile.

Cheng Zheng shook his head, "It's okay for me to let you go out to play for a few years, but it's really hard for me to marry a girl of unknown origin as a wife." ”

"Oh, brother, you're the best, you love me the most, you will definitely help me, right?" Yuanxin actually started to be coquettish, this is the most unruly time for Cheng Zheng to take him.

Cheng Zheng sighed lightly: "This matter should be considered in the long run, and it cannot be decided overnight. ”

"I believe in your abilities." Far from flattering.

"It's rare for you to come back, go see your mother."

Yuanxin promised: "Well, I know, I'll go tomorrow." ”

Cheng Zheng nodded, "It's not early, go back and rest early." ”

A while after Yuanxin went out, Jin Feng came in, and Cheng Zheng instructed, "Sue sΓΉ chase the sound and go check on Yao Menghan." ”
