After everything was done in the capital, Situ Yan handed over the matter of the shop to Li Youzhu, the chief manager of Situ Mansion, and several houses of Situ Mansion in Beijing and the suburbs of Beijing were handed over to Wu Guo, the head of the outer courtyard, and the affairs of the inner courtyard of Situ Mansion were naturally taken care of by Cui Ping. On the contrary, Gongsun Yu, the head of the Situ Mansion, became an idler. Every day, I am only busy packing up my luggage.

"Madame!" Gongsun Yu's four dowry maids were originally sent by Gongsun Yu's mother to Situ Jin as a concubine, but Na Cheng thought that Situ Mansion had family rules, so the four of them had already passed the age of Jilu, but they still did not marry. originally planned to match these four people to a good family this year, but when they met Situ Jin who went to Youzhou to take up a job, the four of them were inevitably uneasy. These four people have long been accustomed to a life of worry-free food and clothing, where will they sincerely travel with Gongsun Yu.

The four maids discussed for a night, and the day before leaving, they came to Gongsun Yu to ask for their lives, "Madam, the four slaves and maids have long passed the age of Jilu, and the father and mother of the family are all sons of the Gongsun Mansion, the slaves and maids dare to ask the lady to be gracious and let the slaves and maids stay!" ”

"You guys!" Gongsun Yu never thought that these four people would suddenly change their minds before leaving, and at this time, where would she find someone who was lovely.

Just when the master and servant were at a standoff, a subordinate came from outside the door to report, "Madam, my aunt and grandmother have returned home!" ”

"Quick, go and invite Yan'er in!" Gongsun Yu commanded, but he also ran out of the door and went to greet him in person. Her sister-in-law is like Guanyin Bodhisattva. Every time she is in trouble, this sister-in-law will be the first to appear.

Situ Yan returned home today because she still had some things to explain to Li Youzhu and Cui Ping, but she didn't expect to see Gongsun Yu come out in person before they entered the inner courtyard.

"Sister-in-law. It's hot at this time, you just wait in the house, why are you still out of the courtyard, I'm not a guest! ”

"Yan'er, you're here at the right time!" Gongsun Yu held Situ Yan's arm and told her everything about the four maids. "Yan'er, you said that I treat them well on weekdays. But when it came to the end, they actually took my army, where can I go to find someone at this moment? ”

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. This person's heart has been lost, his loyalty is not there, and it is a scourge for such a slave to stay around, so it is better to send it away as soon as possible! When my sister-in-law first entered the house. I have promised them. I'll find them a good family, and I'm going to send them away at this time, so just leave this matter to me! Situ Yan wasn't surprised, the thoughts of these people had already been expected by her.

"But if I let them all out, I won't even have anyone around me who knows how to serve!" Gongsun Yu also knew that what Situ Yan said was reasonable, but she was about to set off tomorrow, and where would she be able to change people at this time.

"Sister-in-law, don't blame me for making my own decisions, I ordered Cuiping to buy some people a month ago. After being trained by Cuiping and Mama Li together, the time is short. There may be many inconveniences in doing things, but these people are loyal enough, and the sister-in-law has trained more along the way, and when they arrive in Youzhou, these people can stay in the room! ”

"Yan'er, you've helped me a lot!" Where would Gongsun Yu blame Situ Yan for being the master of her own affairs, her sister-in-law was thinking about her everywhere, and she was grateful.

"Sister-in-law, if you don't blame me for being troublesome!" When Situ Yan had this intention, Cui Ping still dissuaded her, fearing that their sister-in-law would have any suspicions because of this matter. Fortunately, Gongsun Yu and Situ Yan are both reasonable and open-minded people, and they both understand each other's intentions.

Situ Yan also asked Gongsun Yu when she went out, and made sure that she was not missing anything, so she returned to Jingwang's Mansion. She also has a lot of things that she hasn't sorted out yet, and whenever she sorts them out, she wants to put them all in the ring, which will save a lot of trouble. But these things are all on the surface, if they disappear out of thin air like this, I am afraid that the next moment will alarm the Iron Blood Guard and alarm King Jing.

Duanmu Xuanming'er was about to set off for his post, and people from near and far inside the capital came to see him off, and in the last three days, the wine did not leave the table, and the people did not break the table, and the palace opened a flowing water banquet for three days.

At night, Situ Yan didn't know how she climbed into bed, "Yan'er, I'll help you pinch, how tired the guests have been these days!" "With outsiders entering the mansion, Princess Jing and her, the princess, naturally want to accompany and entertain each other. How is it possible to say that you are not tired. Just by pretending to be a pleasing smile, she was stiff and uncomfortable.

"Brother Xuan, have you gone to say hello to your mother?"

"My father said that it was late at night, so I didn't have to run on both sides, and let me go back to the yard directly, but I was afraid that my father would go to accompany my mother at this time!"

"It's not easy for a mother, I used to sit in the house and wait for my husband to go out to fight, but now I'm old, although I have a life, but I have to start worrying about your son! It is bitter to be a woman, and it is even more bitter to be a woman who is a mother of a child! Situ Yan seemed to be sighing, and seemed to think of something, compared to the current monogamy, a married woman can run to her mother's house if she has nothing to do, and this ancient woman is even more difficult.

"Although I am not in Beijing, but my mother is accompanied by my father, and now Aunt Ding has been sent out of the house, and Aunt Xu only worships Buddha in the small Buddha hall every day, and there is nothing to worry about my mother in the palace, I look at my mother these days as if she is much younger!"

"People are naturally different in different moods, but you still have to remind your mother that often dogs that bark don't bite, and those that bite are usually those who can't bark!" Situ Yan asked Duanmu Xuan to remind Princess Jing not to trust Aunt Xu too much, this person knows how to keep his head in obscurity, and it is still unknown whether he still covets the throne in his heart.

"There is a father and an 'Iron Guard' in the house, even if my mother doesn't care, my father will never let my mother be hurt, otherwise my mother and I are afraid that these people will die of calculations!" Although these words are not true, they are not far from ten.

Situ Yan also knew that she was worrying about herself, but since she was married to Duanmu Xuan, no matter how her mother-in-law Princess Jing did not treat her, for the sake of Duanmu Xuan's face, she still hoped to get along with her mother-in-law.

Early in the morning of the second day, Duanmu Xuan, the son of King Jing, the general Jingwang, and Situ Jin, the new Shi of Youzhou, and Shi Li Ren, the chief of the five products, entered the palace together in court clothes and left Beijing to take up their posts. And Situ Yan and Gongsun Yu drove with the accompanying slaves, and they were soft and soft with the car.

The three Li Dalang brothers also rushed to Shili Pavilion to see each other off. "Little San, I heard that Youzhou is very greedy now, and you are only afraid that you will have to endure hardship. But I still have to say, take care of Xiao Wu more, although she is married, but in the hearts of our brothers, she will always be our sister-in-law! Li Erlang's eyes were full of tears, and he took Li Sanlang's hand and refused to let go for a long time.

"Yes, third brother, I was confused at the beginning. Now that I think about it, I regret not being at the beginning! My body is useless, and Xiao Wu will entrust it to you! Say to Xiao Wu on my behalf, thank you! "Li Shilang has already gone to Heyang County to see it. What Situ Yan bought him was just a small courtyard to enter, but it was good to study away from the county, and it would be very convenient for his son to study in the future. Moreover, the two shops have been rented out, and Situ Yan also gave him ten years of monthly rules. There was silver. With a house and a son, although he is missing an arm, his life is very steady. All this was given by the little sister.

Li Dalang just looked at this third brother, the most promising person in the Li family, "Come back safely!" When Saburo was about to leave, he said four words, but these four words were enough to express brotherhood.

Situ Yan could only sit in the carriage at this time. After all, there are so many people on this trip, and it is not easy for her identity to show up again. And this Ten Mile Pavilion. There are also many officials from Beijing who have come to see them off. Not to mention that Li Dalang couldn't see her, that is, Li Sanlang had to ask Duanmu Xuan first if he wanted to see his little sister.

After leaving the capital and walking through the county seat of Henan, the talents who saw off them left one after another. "It's clean, Chiyu, stop the carriage and let me go out to breathe!"

"Young lady, bear with me, the young master just sent someone to spread the word, saying that there is a tea house not far ahead, and you will rest when you get there!" Chiyu felt that the young master really knew the young lady, and knew that the young lady must be depressed and uncomfortable all the way, so even the place to rest along the way was tied.

"It's okay, but these people are gone, Chiyu, remove the curtains on this car, and if you continue to be stuffy like this, I will have to be the middle lady of your family!" It was nearly noon at this time, and it was the end of April and the beginning of summer.

"Young lady, this is the curtain, I am afraid that it will be looked at by others, and your reputation will be damaged!" When Situ Yan modified the carriage, Chiyu objected, but this was what the young lady meant, the young master not only did not stop it, but also followed it together, where could she be dissuaded.

"Chiyu, watch your young lady play a trick for you!" Situ Yan gestured twice, removed all the curtains in the car, and then pointed out of the car. "Chiyu, you go out and have a look, see if you can see in!"

"Yes!" Chiyu has a question mark on his face, but he can clearly see the outside in this car, but he is afraid that the scene inside the car can also be seen clearly by the people outside. But doubts are doubts, she still obeys her master's order to go outside the car. After a while, he came back again, "Young lady, this car box is only covered with two layers of veil that can penetrate people, but it can really block people's vision!" Chiyu was excited, before she was worried about the young lady as long as she thought of the light and transparent veil, but now she realized that she was lonely and unheard.

"The light outside is strong, the inside of the car is dim and claustrophobic, naturally I can't see clearly from the outside, and I only went to the top of the trunk and the bottom of the drapery, even if it can pass through the light, it can't be seen clearly, this time you should always believe your young lady!"

"Young lady, it's not that your subordinates don't believe you, they just think about your reputation!"

"Okay, my red rain is the most intimate! Blessed are you, Dark Night! Situ Yanyuan was just joking about Chiyu, but when she looked up and saw the dark night of the car, her mind moved, and she shouted loudly, so ashamed that Chiyu almost didn't jump out of the car. caused Situ Yan to laugh more than once.

"Yan'er, what happy thing makes you like this, and it's good to listen to your husband!"

"The little secret of the daughter's family, men are not allowed to inquire around!"

"Yan'er is so partial, and her husband is a little jealous of Chiyu!" Duanmu Xuan rode the "Ben Xiao" no matter where he went before, he was with Ben Xiao, but now he really wants to sit in the carriage, but Situ Yan refuses, disgusted with the lack of space in the car, she is uncomfortable to sit on, and Duanmu Xuan is not allowed to stick to her.

"It's not easy to eat a little vinegar on such a hot day!" Situ Yan's joke even caused Mo Feng and Mo Yu to almost burst into laughter, but looking at the young master's eyes like a blade, the two of them hurriedly lowered their heads and hit their horses to explore the way.

The group was not bored to stop and go, and even after passing Heyang County, even Gongsun Yu and Duanmu Xiang ran to Situ Yan's carriage.

"Yan'er, it's cool to have a breeze in your car!"

"I asked my sister-in-law to change according to this, but my sister-in-law still doesn't want to!"

"I, I'm not used to it, am I not used to it?" Seeing Gongsun Yu's embarrassed blush, Situ Yan hurriedly found a way to diverge, "Sister-in-law, is she uncomfortable with motion sickness these days?" ”

"I take the medicine you give on time every day, and I haven't felt uncomfortable for the past few days, even Xiang'er can eat and sleep, and I don't cry or make trouble along the way!"

"It's hard for my little Xiang'er, such a young person has to follow his father to endure hardship!"

"The saint has clouds, and he is a master when he suffers hardship, and with your aunt here, I don't believe that you will be ruthless to watch Xiang'er endure hardship!" Gongsun Yu was teased by Situ Yan just now, and he found it back now.

"Sister-in-law, I remember that Xiang'er is your own son, how can you say that it is like my son!"

"My aunt also has a mother's word, although you are not his mother, but you are better than my mother!" Gongsun Yu thought that since she was pregnant with Xiang'er until the child was born, and even the previous illness, if there was no sister-in-law, I was afraid that it would be difficult for the child to be saved.

"I'm not as great as my sister-in-law said. The sister-in-law was so unwell when she was in a hurry, but for the sake of the son in her womb, she tried her best to endure it. During the birth, because the elder brother was in Jizhou, the sister-in-law suffered the heart-rending pain alone but had no relatives by her side. Situ Yan's words caused Gongsun Yu's heart to be warm and warm, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

"Okay, look at what I said, I actually invited my sister-in-law to cry, and I didn't let my brother see it, and I thought that I, the sister-in-law, was angry with my sister-in-law!" was teased by Situ Yan like this, and Gongsun Yu, who was still a little excited just now, couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed.

"Jinlang won't, your status in Jinlang's heart is different from others!"

"It's the three of us who have different statuses in my brother's heart!" Situ Yan hugged Duanmu Xiang and held it high, smiling happily.

Listening to the laughter coming from inside the car, the three men outside the car looked happy, "Ziheng, although I didn't call you brother-in-law, I already recognized you in my heart!" I still say the same thing, don't be wronged Yan'er! ”

"Don't worry! And you and I are used to being brothers, and I am comfortable to listen to! Duanmu Xuanzheng was chatting with Situ Jin, and suddenly turned his head to look at Li Sanlang as if he had thought of something. (To be continued.) )
