Chapter 156: Winter Solstice

Early the next morning, a Chinese car drove out of the Chu Palace, escorted by dozens of people, towards Dongyang Lane, and this pedestrian was of course Xu Youshan and his party, around the hour, Xu Youshan went out of the palace and went towards Dongyang Lane, but Xu Youshan went very diligently, and was in a good mood, but when Pei and Xu Yourong saw her arrival, they couldn't laugh or cry.

Pei Shi felt that Xu Youshan came like this, and she came too diligently, which would make the King of Chu unhappy, but Xu Youshan tried her best to comfort Pei, saying that she came with the consent of the King of Chu, how could the King of Chu be unhappy? Besides, looking at this time, Xu Yourong's "illness" should almost be cured, and she won't be able to come by then, so why don't you hurry up now.

Xu Youshan said that she was sincere, and Pei's couldn't do anything about her, and after Xu Youshan accompanied Pei's for a while, Pei's drove her to Weizhou Courtyard.

Xufu, Weizhou Temple.

"Xu Youshan, you're really full, aren't you? You run to me every day, what do you mean, you want to help me create an opportunity for others to pay attention, right? Compared with Pei's worries, Xu Yourong couldn't laugh at Xu Youshan's crying, that is, she came to visit her illness with such fanfare every day, going back and forth between Chu Wangfu and Dongyang Lane, this uninformed person still thought that she was seriously ill and was about to die...... Xu Youshan, this is not harmful!

But compared to Xu Yourong's anger, Xu Youshan is much more relaxed. She patted Xu Yourong's hand and said leisurely: "Oh, eldest sister, you don't care what others say." Anyway, I think you're almost cured, and then the others will know that you're fine, don't worry. ”

"You're not in a hurry, but if it weren't for you making such a fuss, I would have been "sick" for a long time, do you know? Xu Yourong yelled at Xu Youshan angrily.

And Xu Youshan hurriedly covered her ears, and then smiled obediently: "Eldest sister." Why are you going to be sick for so long, just a few days of illness, aren't you afraid that some people will be worried and go crazy. And then the indomitable slaughter came to our house to visit you? At that time, I'm afraid that the entire people in the imperial capital will know that someone is finally interested in the eldest sister, and you will also be set up as the most successful example of guarding the clouds and seeing the moon, and grinding the iron pestle into a needle for ten years! ”

Xu Youshan said something in her words. The ridicule in the tone is enough, and it can't be enough. This made Xu Yourong's beautiful face immediately red, and then he chased Xu Youshan to fight, which made Xu Youshan immediately spread his feet and slipped out, and the two of them also chased mice in the courtyard of Weizhou Courtyard for a long, long time.

"Yo, you're going to be busy here!"

And just when Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan were running out of breath and laughing almost out of breath, a familiar laughter came from the gate, and Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan heard the voice. I saw Xu Ming standing there with a smile.

"Sister Xi."

"Ming. How did you come today? Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan greeted happily, and said with some surprise, recently because of the upcoming birthday of the old princess in the Beiding Palace, they are very busy, although this time the old princess's birthday is still the same, and the invited guests are only the ones who have made good friends, but even so, the Beiding palace is still so busy that people are on their backs, and Xu Mingxi, as the princess of the Beiding Wang, of course, can't watch from the wall, and has to follow Rui's side.

Therefore, after Xu Yourong called it "sick", Xu Mingcheng did not come except for coming to "visit" once or twice, so now Xu Mingcheng's arrival made Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan very surprised, after all, they thought that they would not be able to see Xu Mingcheng until the birthday of the old princess of Beiding...... No, it's wrong, even on the birthday of the old princess of Beiding, only Xu Yourong can see Xu Mingxi, because Xu Youshan's current identity as the princess of Chu is not suitable for attending the old princess's birthday.

"Why, I'm not welcome here?" Xu Mingcheng said with a smile.

"You're cheap and good, hurry up and say, why do you have time to come today, shouldn't you go to Qilinfang first, why did you come here?" Xu Yourong patted Xu Mingcheng and said.

"It's not because of my sister-in-law." After Xu Mingcheng heard this, the smile on his face was slightly accepted, and he said: "A few days ago, I sent Qin Xin to Qilin Fang and Dongyang Lane to send some Qiyu brocade brought from Linzhou, but when Qin Xin came back, he told me that the situation of my sister-in-law was not right, so I repaired a letter to my mother, asking my mother what was wrong with my sister-in-law, whether it was wrong with the marriage with the Zhai family, and my mother wrote back to me, saying no, the eldest master of the Zhai family is still a guest in the house, so I thought about it and came over today." ”

Xu Ming's affairs may not be very clear to the Lian family, but Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan's side are very likely to know something, so after thinking about it for a while, Xu Mingcheng still took the time to come to Dongyang Lane, wanting to ask Xu Yourong if he knew something, but coincidentally, Xu Youshan was also here today.

"Ugh." After listening to Xu Mingxi's words, Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan both sighed, and Xu Yourong said, "Here's the thing. ”

Xu Yourong told Xu Mingcheng about the day Zhai Yu's letter, and after Xu Mingcheng heard it, she immediately made a gesture to get up, but Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan immediately grabbed her and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Xu Mingcheng said as a matter of course: "Of course, I went back to my sister-in-law and asked her to take out the letter." ”

"Oh, yes." After Xu Mingcheng finished speaking, Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan both laughed together, and the kind of smile between the two of them made Xu Mingcheng can't help but shake his body, and after shaking off the goosebumps all over his body, Xu Mingcheng wanted to run, but was firmly grasped by Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan, who were quick-eyed, and Xu Youshan said extremely gently: "Oh, Sister Rong, don't be afraid, Sister Rong and I won't do anything, we just want you to do a 'very small, very small' favor." ”

"What's the busy?" Xu Mingxi's vigilance was not relaxed at all.

"It's just a small favor, it's really a small favor. You have to believe us, hehehehe......" Looking at Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan's extremely "gentle" smiles, Xu Mingcheng really sighed deeply. Careless dating!

……

……

Xu Mingcheng had just arrived at Dongyang Lane not long ago, and he left by car, and the group headed towards Qilin Fang, but along the way, Xu Mingcheng rode in the carriage, which never stopped, and it didn't take long for a suppressed roar to be heard. Although passers-by will not hear it, they can hear it clearly, like the guards guarding the carriage. And there was a slight look of crying and laughing on his face.

"Hey, Xu Yourong and Sister Shan, can you two be thicker-skinned? I'm not telling you not to eat it, it's the pastry I'm going to bring back later. ”

"Huh. Xu Mingming. Can you be more careful with your eyes? After eating for a while, just ask someone to buy it. ”

"That's right, sister, don't be so stingy."

"You two are talking easily, you know that I have to queue up a lot when I let people go to Jiang Chun...... Hey, you two really don't listen to it, aren't you allowed to eat it anymore! ”

The carriage drove noisily from Dongyang Lane to Qilinfang all the way, and the carriage also drove directly into the Xu Mansion, and then under the personal greeting of some stewards, some little maids and servants were separated. Some secretly changed to a soft sedan chair and went directly to Qiaosu Courtyard.

Xufu. Qiaosu Temple.

Sometimes Xu Yourong, Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan really sigh that the scenery in Qiaosu Courtyard is really the same for several years, but this is not to say that the furnishings in Qiaosu Courtyard have always been like this, and the furnishings in the courtyard will change a little bit every year, after all, Xu Mingwen is a girl and always likes beautiful scenery, but even so, in the courtyard of Qiaosu Courtyard, under the February Su, someone looked at the sky blankly, but it was still so impressive.

"Princess, Miss, Miss Rong." There is a joyful salute in the voice of the ink painting.

"Get up, ink painting." Xu Mingcheng looked at Xu Ming's direction a little helplessly, and asked, "Sister Wu'er has been like this for a few days." ”

Mo Hua replied: "Back to the eldest lady, since the letter from the eldest prince Zhai to the second lady arrived, the second miss has always been like this. ”

"yes, got it."

Xu Mingwen nodded, and after exchanging a look with Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan tacitly, the three of them walked behind Xu Mingwen, and then silently counted one, two, three in their hearts, and then roared in unison in Xu Mingwen's ear, making Xu Mingwen fall off the chair in fright with a shudder, and then after finally coming back to her senses, anger came out wildly, and when she turned her head and wanted to scold the "murderer" behind her regardless of her image, but after seeing their appearance clearly, All the annoyance disappeared in an instant, and Xu Mingwen also tried her best to squeeze out a trace of a smile, and smiled at them: "Sister, when did you come?" ”

"Just when you're dumbfounded." Xu Mingcheng replied unceremoniously.

"Oh, when did I get dumbfounded." But Xu Mingwen planned to pretend to be stupid to get through this hurdle, but after she finished speaking, she saw Xu Youshan and the three of them looking at her for a long time, and they didn't speak, but the clear emotions in their eyes were too clear, and the clarity was a little dazzling, Xu Mingwen suddenly returned to the chair and sat down like a leak, without saying a word.

And looking at Xu Mingwen like this, Xu Mingcheng also let out a long sigh, and after a while, he asked directly: "What did the letter say?" ”

Xu Mingwen bit her lip and didn't answer, but she took out a plain white letter from her arms and handed it directly to Xu Mingcheng, and Xu Yourong and the others quickly approached Xu Mingming, and when Xu Mingcheng opened the letter, Xu Mingwen's faint voice also sounded: "Actually, the letter didn't say anything, it just made me ......"

"Wow, I didn't expect Mr. Zhai to know you quite well." Without waiting for Xu Mingwen to finish speaking, Xu Mingcheng sighed.

"Yes, it seems that this is the will of Grand Prince Zhai himself."

"Originally, with the kind of person Zhai Dagongzi, since he said it, of course it was his own will."

At this time, Xu Youshan and the others simply ignored Xu Mingwen, and they were all there to read the letter written by Zhai Yu to her, although there were only a few words on the letter, but every sentence could hit the key point of Xu Mingwen, and what made Xu Youshan and them sigh was. Zhai Yu said to Xu Mingwen that he would abide by every word he said to her. This is comparable to a word of promise. I really know Xu Youshan's nervous mood at this time, but I don't know if Zhai Yu knows what Xu Mingwen is worried about.

But just when Xu Yourong, Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan were circling around the letter, Xu Mingwen, who had been left behind by the three of them, finally yelled at them unbearably: "Hey, don't go too far, a letter can make you ignore me so much?" What the hell are you three here for today, you're here to hit me. ”

Xu Mingwen finished roaring. Xu Youshan and the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then quickly separated, and Xu Yourong coughed even more. After blushing a little, he said, "Sister-in-law, Zhai Dagongzi has talked about this, what do you think?" It's actually at this juncture. They are still sitting here in a daze. Should I say you're calm, or should I say you're brainless? ”

"I'm ......," Xu Mingwen was stunned.

Xu Mingcheng on the side immediately continued: "What are you, Sister Rong is right, Uncle Zhai will not stay in Qilin Fang all the time, and the longer you delay, the worse Uncle Zhai's impression of you will be." ”

"Why?" Xu Mingwen was a little surprised, "If the marriage is delayed, Uncle Zhai should think that it is my grandfather and grandmother who are thinking about it." How can you have a bad impression of me? Even if Xu Mingwen is still hesitating now, she has an impression of Zhai Yu's father Zhai Yan on her. Xu Mingwen was still so nervous that she couldn't do it, so now Xu Mingwen said this, which directly made Xu Mingwen a little shocked.

"Hah...... Sister Wang, you are so stupid, what kind of relationship is the relationship between the uncle of the Zhai family and the uncle and grandmother of the cousin, it is extremely intimate, and the relationship between our father and the uncle of the Zhai family is even better, you little Jiujiu, the uncle of the Zhai family is afraid that he has already known, otherwise how could the uncle of the Zhai family stay in Qilinfang, the uncle of the Zhai family is the governor of Lingnan Mansion, and his public vacation this time is estimated to be wasted here. ”

Xu Yourong said leisurely, but Xu Mingwen heard a cold sweat, she had always thought that the eldest master of the Zhai family and Zhai Yu's father didn't know that the delay in this marriage was because she had to hesitate, but now after listening to Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng's words, Xu Mingwen felt that something was wrong, and she dared to love because the uncle of the Zhai family always knew that she was delaying?

"It's over, it's over." Xu Ming's face suddenly looked dazed, and she was a little pale.

Seeing Xu Mingwen like this, Xu Youshan looked at her worriedly, and then came to Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng's side, and whispered: "Will this medicine be too fierce, you see that Sister Wu is like this." ”

"No, it won't." Xu Mingcheng also replied in a low voice: "Sister Wu'er is the first time to like someone so much, so she is particularly at a loss and at a loss, and this marriage with the Zhai family has dragged on for a long time After all, it is not good, how can I do it without a dose of fierce medicine, I and Yourong just want Sister Wu'er to quickly understand what she wants most." ”

And just when Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng were explaining to Xu Youshan in a low voice, Xu Mingwen, who was still completely out of her body just now, stood up suddenly, and after scaring Xu Youshan and the three of them jumped, she rushed out regardless of it, so frightened that the others hurriedly chased after her, but just when Xu Mingcheng wanted someone to stop Xu Ming's wife, she saw that Xu Ming's wife had already run towards Mrs. Zheng's yard.

"What should I do?" Xu Youshan asked worriedly.

Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng said happily: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't expect that in a while, there will be good news." ”

"Huh?" Xu Youshan looked at Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng with some puzzlement, but the two of them didn't say anything, but led her to board the soft sedan chair slowly, and followed Xu Ming's wife unhurriedly, walking towards Mrs. Zheng's courtyard, but along the way, no matter how Xu Youshan asked, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng just smiled mysteriously and didn't speak, which made Xu Youshan feel depressed.

And it was this afternoon that there was an explosive news in the Shendu, Xu Mingwen, the second daughter of the second room of the Xu family in Jiangzuo, and Zhai Yu, the eldest son of the Huanchuan Zhai family, made a family relationship, and soon after, Xu Mingwen will soon become the patriarch of the Huanchuan Zhai family.

In the entire divine capital, people talked endlessly in the aftermath of this incident all afternoon, although the Huanchuan Zhai family has lost their figure in the imperial capital for a long time, but the glory of their imperial heroes will still not be erased in people's hearts. As for the name of Jiang Zuo's Xu family, there is no need to say more, so it is not incomprehensible that such a marriage between two families has aroused such excitement.

And before such a commotion broke out, on the avenue of Shendu, there were two Chinese cars, surrounded by many guards and servants, quietly leaving from Dongyang Lane, and drove towards the Beiding Wangfu and the Chu Wangfu.

……

……

The winter solstice has finally arrived, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and the news of the marriage between the Xu family and the Zhai family has made the gods boil some time ago, and it has been nearly half a month ago, but the recent Bowei Houyun has been jubilant, and this is of course due to Xu Youshan's smiling expression all day long, and the joy and joy that can not be poured no matter how cold the midwinter is, and this also makes the people in the entire Bowei Houyun rejoice.

"Eh, do you want to give Sister Wu this set of colorful gemstones inlaid with agate flowers, or do you want to give this set of mutton fat white jade hollow plum leaf Nanzhu head? Otherwise, they will all be sent. ”

Xu Youshan was in the warehouse of Bowei Houyun with high interest, personally selecting the items that were about to be given to Xu Mingwen as a congratulatory gift, and Wu Lin and Liu's mother looked at the gorgeous clothes and jade ornaments that were about to pile up into a hill in front of them, these are all congratulatory gifts that Xu Youshan wants to give to Xu Mingwen, and before this, Xu Youshan has already picked out a batch of congratulatory gifts to send to Qilin Fang, and now this is the third batch, and these congratulatory gifts are too much, too valuable, so precious that Pei's family wrote to say, Yan had already mentioned to her with tears and laughter, asking Sister Shan not to send congratulatory gifts anymore, this makeup addition is not such a method, and will it be too early?

After all, although the marriage between Zhai Yu and Xu Mingwen has been decided, after the six ceremonies, even if the time is rushed, the marriage between Zhai Yu and Xu Mingwen will not be possible until the end of the year.

"Ouch, my good princess, don't toss anymore, okay, hasn't Madame already sent a letter, saying that there are too many congratulatory gifts you sent to Qilinfang, and now even the warehouse where you prepared a dowry for the second lady has to be filled with the congratulatory gifts sent by you and the princess, even if you are ready to help the Xu family marry their daughter, it is not such a help, right?"

When Wu Lin saw that Xu Youshan was about to put the two heads and faces with colorful gems and agate flowers in his hands, and the brocade boxes with mutton fat and white jade hollowed out plum leaves and southern pearls, so that the helpless Chu Dai and Yue Dai could get the pile of gorgeous clothes and jade ornaments, they hurriedly stopped Xu Youshan, and said with some tears and laughter.

"It's okay, Mother Wu. I don't send much. But Xu Youshan took advantage of Wu Lin's speech, and hurriedly asked Chu Dai and Yue Dai to take the two sets of heads, and said very carelessly: "And the things I sent, Sister Wu may not like it, so I have to send more, so that Sister Wu can have a few more things in it." ”

Xu Youshan said nonchalantly, and Wu Lin and Liu's mother glanced at the almost half-empty warehouse, and they were also very helpless, thinking that after Xu Youshan picked out these rare brocade ornaments and sent them to Qilin Fang, what expressions would be on the faces of Lian and Yan, they could already predict it now.

And this has to be rejoicing, fortunately, Xu Yourong has not been married yet, otherwise just look at the fact that he has already married, with his own dowry and Tian to get Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan, it is really like Pei's said, the second room to marry a daughter, he almost does not need to buy any dowry, as far as Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan sent those congratulatory gifts, it is enough for the proud specifications of the daughter of the Xu family in Jiangzuo when she got married.

But of course, this is a joke, but it can also be seen from it that in addition to Xu Yourong, who is not married yet and has no property of his own to use at will, the congratulatory gifts given by Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan to Xu Mingwen are already valuable and numerous. (To be continued.) )
