Chapter 257

Among the topics of New Year's greetings and hospitality of the people of Huaizhou Mansion during the Chinese New Year, it is only necessary to talk about the newly appointed governor of Dadu and his wife. The atmosphere will be stirred up, and everyone will be talking about the wonders they saw that night.

"Don't you see, my sister-in-law and her sister-in-law's second aunt happen to live by the lake. She saw it so clearly that night, and it was a shame! Sitting in the hall of the Chen family's main room, Mrs. Zhou, who came to pay New Year's greetings, was foaming at the mouth and talking about Cheng Wanyu and his wife.

"Oh? Mrs. Zhou said, what did she see that day? Song Huaen gently picked up the tea lid with her slender hand, put it to her lips and blew the tea leaves, and then gently sipped it.

The eldest lady of the Chen family, Gou, learned from her, and also pretended to put it to her mouth and blew it before taking a sip.

"According to my sister-in-law, the whole lake was full of lotus lanterns that day. The bridge and the shore are all full of colorful lanterns, and they are lit up for half the day. My sister-in-law and her sister-in-law's second aunt thought it was dawn, so they put on their clothes and looked out. It just so happened that the fireworks in the sky were tinkling at this time. I don't need to say how beautiful the fireworks are. You were woken up that day, too! Tsk, how much did you say it cost! ”

Mrs. Zhou said enviously: "You said that this is not a New Year's Day, why is Lord Shi putting flowers and lighting lamps?" My sister-in-law, her eldest aunt's second aunt, but she heard it so well! ”

Gou knows that Cheng Wanyu and his family have a good relationship with each other on weekdays. But it's not like running outside in the middle of the night to play the whole scene, but not to mention that there are still children at home in the weird cold!

Even if it is for Cheng Wanyu to spend money to play, how many lanterns can't be put in their yard as big!

Here, Mrs. Zhou took a sip of water to moisten her throat, and said with a smile: "The two of them are arguing, it seems that it is because Lord Shi wants to take a concubine." Our 'Mrs. Ruyi' became popular, and she left her man and children alone and went back to her parents' house. It's not the New Year, and she hasn't come back yet. Master Shi had no choice but to coax her back in person. I didn't enter the city until midnight, and as soon as I entered the city, I showed her the lanterns and said good things. ”

Song Huaen put down the teacup and shook his head in disbelief: "This is just your imagination." Lord Shi is a big man, how can he be afraid of a little woman. Besides, it's normal for this man to have three wives and four concubines! "I think Cheng Wanyu didn't come over at the beginning, and she made a lot of senses. Marrying a chicken and marrying a dog is like a dog, and what kind of man you follow must accept him and support him.

Song Huaen grew up in the inner house since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of things that are not credible by word of mouth. doesn't take this rumor seriously, but Gou doesn't think so.

Cheng Wanyu is the highest-status woman in Huaizhou Mansion, and her every move is a role model for women. When Chen Bingyi wanted to marry a flat wife, she didn't say a word for herself. Later, he explained the benefits of marriage and the duties that a woman should know.

If everything rumored outside is true, Cheng Wanyu encouraged other families to take concubines. When it was his turn, he had to play a trick and was reluctant to cry, make trouble, and hang himself. Why? If you're squeamish, you can be sad, but if we are vulgar, we won't be sad?

Cheng Wanyu naturally didn't know what others thought, and she didn't care. Since returning home that day, Cheng Wanyu and his wife have not seen any strangers. Until the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Cheng family came to pick up my aunt and grandmother back to their parents' house. The husband and wife left the house and happily left Huaizhou Mansion.

The Son of Heaven drove six, the princes drove five, the Qing drove four, the doctor three, the scholar two, and the Shuren one. And Cheng Wanyu usually rides on a horse, and there are only two horses at most in Huaizhou Mansion.

Although those big families have a lot of pomp and circumstance, because of their civilian background, they can only make some changes on the canopy. The others are no different, and even if they are rich, they cannot be inlaid with gold in the corners.

And this time, General Cao Xiao established himself as king and fought with the imperial court for more than two years. Although the court did not let go of his confession, he also recently issued a decree to make him the Marquis of Yongning. implying that as long as he doesn't establish himself as a king and recognize the court, then it won't be a big deal to let him be a small prince.

For the princes, they have to pay tribute to the imperial court every year. But if you don't agree, there will be another three-year and five-year war. Not to mention that the common people can't bear it, even they can't bear it themselves.

General Cao Xiao became the Marquis of Anning, and Shi Jun served as the Grand Governor of the Northern Governor's Mansion. It is equivalent to the founding father, although he is not a minister, but all the governors of the northern county are treated as ministers.

It was Cheng Wanyu who could sit in a four-horse oversized carriage this time and return to her parents' home in a beautiful manner.

Shi Jun never takes a carriage on weekdays, in order to give Cheng Wanyu a good scenery this time, so that his father-in-law, who loves his daughter to the bone, can understand his distress of not going home for the past two years. deliberately let people decorate the carriage overnight with great luxury, so that Cheng Wanyu almost didn't dare to get into the carriage.

The body of the carriage is made of felt cloth for the sake of being windproof, rainproof and breathable, and the outside is sewn with navy blue cloth. It looks solemn and luxurious, not ostentatious and substantial. The four corners of the carriage are raised high, and each hangs a delicate palace lamp. There was a bell hanging on the palace lamp, and the carriage shook and jingled very nicely.

Cheng Wanyu was helped into the carriage by Shi Jun, and the furnishings inside were all high-quality. Shi Jun followed closely behind Cheng Wanyu, and the two sat in the carriage and looked at each other and smiled.

"My mother saw it, and she must touch her chest to relax!" Cheng Wanyu stretched out her hand and touched the various lines on the carriage, and asked curiously: "When did you do it, you didn't tell me!" ”

Shi Jun put his arm around her shoulders: "I have to hide it from you, so that I can see that your eyes are about to fall!" ”

As he spoke, the wheels of the carriage slowly turned, and the wind blew the bells and rang crisply. Cheng Wanyu picked up the curtain and looked out secretly, and found that the people in the downtown street were looking this way with their necks propped up.

In front, there were guards sounding gongs to avoid it, and then twenty generals rode high-headed horses to open the way. Cheng Wanyu's carriage followed, and everyone could guess who was sitting inside.

"Oh my God! Mrs. Ruyi's carriage" Some people exclaimed, and some people couldn't believe it: "No, it should be the governor of the capital!" ”

"That's Mrs. Ruyi's personal maid, who doesn't know the people of Huaizhou Mansion who are red and green!" Next to the carriage, Xiaocui and Xiaohong followed the carriage, and the speed of the carriage was very slow in the city.

Behind Cheng Wanyu's carriage were two simple carriages with two horses. Sitting in the car are two daughters, as the highest-ranking daughter in Huaizhou Mansion. The Dawn sisters have discouraged many of the ladies of the world, but they don't know it!

A group of people set off from Huaizhou Mansion in a high-profile manner, and after leaving the city, the two maids ran to the carriage of the two young ladies in Chenxi. The couple in front of them was left alone in the carriage, greasy and crooked.

Shi Jun's subordinates have the momentum of marching thousands of miles a day and eight hundred at night, and the speed along the way is amazing.

The Cheng family in Donglianghe received a report early that a well-trained team was heading towards the east and west rivers. The frightened Cheng family's face changed greatly, and he didn't know what to do.

Cheng Dacai led people to stand on the overlook tower of his house and watch, only to see a soldier with "stone" written on it in the distance rushing over violently.

The old man raised his head and laughed, and instructed his sons as he walked down: "Go back and change into decent clothes, my old girl is back!" ”

Everyone looked at each other and suddenly realized. The only person who can make a big splash within the boundaries of Huaizhou Mansion is Shi Jun, the ninth aunt of the Shi family! R1152
