Chapter 421: Year-end Celebration
After dinner, Du Yunqi came to find Du Yunxun, and the two brothers didn't go out, but went directly into Du Yunxun's study in the new house.
Fan Anyang asked people to send tea and snacks over, and then went into the studio again, and I don't know how long later, Mo Xiang came in with red dates and bird's nest soup with a helpless face. "It's late at night, it's time to rest."
"Oh!" Fan Anyang nodded absentmindedly, put down the small block pen in his hand, and looked down at the painting he had just finished, well, it was really good, the distant mountains were drawn with light ink with a row of brushes, and the near scenes were outlined in small letters, the distance and the near were clearly distinguished, and the moonlight was revealed in the clouds in the sky, such a night scene was indeed deeper than what she had painted before.
"Second young grandmother, it's late at night! It's time to rest. Mo Xiang persevered and repeated it again, and finally called Fan Anyang's soul back.
"Huh? When did you get here? β
"It's been a while since the slave came!" Mo Xiang was speechless, and brought the small cup of stone green with red date bird's nest soup to Fan Anyang.
Fan Anyang took it, the temperature was moderate, and she took a sip of the spoon slowly, the slippery taste of the bird's nest, she really didn't like it, but the sugar was enough, but it also made her smile when she drank it, and handed the small cup to Mo Xiang, and the clove immediately smiled and offered white water.
"Can you send a copy to the second young master?" It's better to be happy alone than to be happy, Du Yunxun doesn't have many requirements for food, but Du Yunqi is very dislike sweets, she and Du Yunxun went to see Xiao Niannian in the past two days, Xiao Niannian is a good child, she loves her father, she has to share her father with anything to eat, she watched it several times, Xiao Niannian stuffed a candy on her father's front foot. Her father spit out the candy when he carried her on his back on his back foot, not at all as honest as his brother, the sugar that his little niece gave him. He didn't refuse to come.
So Fan Anyang guessed that Du Yunqi didn't like sweets.
Where did Lilac know this, she only replied: "It's all sent over, don't worry." β
What is she relieved of? "The eldest young master is still there?"
"yes!" Mo Xiang sighed, although it is said that the second young grandmother has not yet had a round with the second young master, but after all, they are newly married! Why is the uncle so uninteresting, disturbing the rest time of the young couple!
Fan Anyang thought of Du Yunxun and said to her before. Du Xiang has been very busy recently, and they came back from Fan's Mansion to say goodbye to his old man. Just because he was talking to his staff, they were sent back.
"That's right! What happened to the young grandmother and the lady? β
"The Gao family will take the eldest and young grandmother back to live in the house tomorrow, and the lady will ......" Mo Xiang looked at the house, they all married with Fan Anyang. There is no maid from the Du family, but to be thorough, I still let Yanyue and Zhuxiang go outside to guard.
Looking at her battle, Fan Anyang was mentally prepared, what Mo Xiang was going to say was probably not heard by the maids of the Du family, after all, she was going to talk about the Du family's housewife.
"Guess what Madame didn't see you for?" Ruixue asked as she collected the pen on the case.
Fan Anyang glared at her. "Because someone from her mother's house is here!"
Rui Xue chuckled, "It's Madame's mother's henchman Chen, this mama is a powerful one." I heard that Mrs. Wanliu relied on her very much. β
I don't usually send this mama out. But now it's here! also chose to come to the door when she returned to the door, Fan Anyang shook her head, she didn't want to grow old and decay, so she really didn't want to worry too much. But if people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries, and when they marry Du Mansion, they can't help but think about it too much.
Du Yunxun said that Du Xiang planned to let her help the housekeeper. She didn't pay attention to it at all, because she was so old. The age is there, and it is a new daughter-in-law who has only been in the door for a few days, and there is a mother-in-law and brother and sister-in-law, how can she cross them and put the responsibility of housekeeping on her head?
She felt that Du Xiang was completely angry, and he was deliberately talking, testing the attitude of the Wan family and the Gao family!
The Gao family pulled Du Xiang's hind legs in the court, Xiao Wan's old calculation stepson, and wanted to stuff his nieces and nieces to his stepsons, you must know that Du Yunqi's brothers' marriages were all done by Du Xiang, and Xiao Wan's had other calculations, isn't it a disguised expression of dissatisfaction with these two daughters-in-law?
How could Du Xiang not be angry?
As for the Gao family, Mrs. Du's Da Wan clan spoke wantonly, and she really didn't stand up, but the Gao family was indeed at fault, so I don't know what the two brothers were talking about? How can you say that it is so late and not dispersed?
Mo Xiang waited for Fan Anyang to return to the room, Du Yunxun came back, Fan Anyang glanced at the maids, asked them to retreat, and greeted him.
"What did you say to your eldest brother? Speaking of which, so late. β
"Something."
Du Yunxun skimmed over vaguely, Fan Anyang thought about it, and decided that it was better to ask.
"Is it a matter of the court?"
"Well, the emperor intends to let King An go to disaster relief." After Du Yunxun sat on the kang, he motioned for Fan Anyang to sit down as well.
Fan Anyang poured two cups of tea, one for her husband, and then sat on the kang and held the tea cup in her hand.
"King An is only married!" A few days before she left the cabinet, King An married a wife and became the king, and the emperor is going to send him to disaster relief now, will it be a little too soon!
"In fact, before the emperor sent the princes out of Beijing to visit the great Confucians, he was already inspecting the abilities of the princes, King An is not bad, although there is no lack of arrogance, but, in the face of the great Confucianism, he can still soften his body, and he does not insist on holding the prince to suppress people."
Fan Anyang was surprised, "How do you know this?" β
Du Yunxun took a sip of tea with a smile, "Every prince who came to Guangling Academy, we were responsible for entertaining, how could we not know?" In fact, the deans of the academy privately said that the Nine Emperors' knowledge may not be as good as the Seventh Prince's, and their martial arts may not be as good as the Eighth Prince's, but Cheng DΓΉ is all in the middle and upper levels, and his heart is calm, not like a child who is not as weak as the crown. β
In fact, when he came out of the palace, that child was not calm, and there were not many people who showed his feelings like King Huai!
"What about the Six Princes?"
Du Yunxun thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't understand the six princes, he seems to have no quarrel with the world, but sometimes he is very flamboyant, otherwise it would not cause Yang Yanxi to cry and want to marry, but after he got married, he had a very close relationship with the concubine, you absolutely don't believe it, he can still point the eldest brother to please the sister-in-law." β
Really? Fan Anyang was very skeptical.
β»
The New Year is approaching, every household is busy removing the old and clothing the new, and the same is true of the Anwangfu who married the daughter-in-law, but the Anwangfu received the news from Concubine Mei today, the north was hit by a snow disaster, and the emperor wanted to send a minister to the disaster relief, but I don't know if the bastard actually mentioned that only the minister was not enough, and urged the emperor to send more princes to patrol on behalf of his father.
Concubine Mei received the news from her father, and learned that her baby son had won the lottery and would soon leave for the disaster area to comfort the victims.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to begin, she wants to send her son to the disaster area?
King An just married his wife, why did he send him when he was newly married! He has two older brothers! According to the wheel, it will not be his turn!
Concubine Mei was angry, but the emperor said that Princess Cheng was about to give birth, and King An was a younger brother, so when would she not relieve her father and brother at this time? Concubine Mei immediately stopped her voice and didn't dare to howl anymore, but just locked up in the dormitory and screamed fiercely.
The queen stared at the etiquette of her daughter the third princess, and said to Concubine Lan: "King An is valued by the emperor, what is she not satisfied with?" β
"To tell the truth, I'm also afraid that the emperor will send Brother Han'er! The sixth daughter-in-law is about to give birth, her sister-in-law is not in Beijing, if the sixth child goes out on a long trip, she will be left with a master in the palace, I am really afraid that she will not be able to cope with it alone! Concubine Lan couldn't help but worry when she thought of her daughter-in-law.
The queen said with a frown. "Hearing you say that, I feel panicked too!"
The second princess from Concubine Lan was sitting next to Concubine Lan and interjected with a smile: "Queen Mother, Mother Concubine, don't panic!" I remember that when the Sixth Emperor's sister-in-law was in the boudoir, she was taught by Mr. Yan, didn't you hear that Mr. Yan came to Beijing? Let's ask her to come over and sit down! β
The queen and Concubine Lan exchanged glances with each other, about Yan Yun, they know more than the second princess, such as she kept her fiancΓ© chastity and did not marry, until her fiancΓ© came back this year, the little couple became a relative as they wished, to put it bluntly, this gentleman is not familiar with giving birth to children, very unfamiliar!
Inviting her to sit in King Cheng's Mansion will be counterproductive?
"You can also ask Mrs. Changping to come over to help!" The third princess didn't raise her head.
"Oh, why didn't we think that we could ask Mrs. Changping to help." The queen nodded, "Although the New Year is approaching, I remember that Mrs. Changping Bo Shizi has always been a capable person, and the other ladies are also quite shrewd, I believe that Mrs. Changping Bo can also manage the family affairs well without Mrs. Changping sitting in the mansion." The queen stroked her palm and chuckled, "Okay! That's when I asked Mrs. Changping to help. β
Mrs. Changping Bo is Concubine Lan's mother-in-law, and she asked her to help take care of her granddaughter-in-law, and it couldn't be more appropriate! Although Concubine Lan herself told her mother-in-law that it was okay, but what if the queen came forward?
"The concubine Daicheng Princess thanked the queen mother."
The queen was slightly annoyed, "Okay! Are you still polite to me? "Turn around and send people to Changping Bofu.
Xu is in charge of the elders, Princess Cheng's heart is relaxed, and the baby in her belly feels safe outside! It's a seizure!
Fan Anyang sent people to each house to send the festival gifts, and the housekeeper who didn't want to come back from King Cheng's Mansion smiled red, and held two red eggs in her hands, "Second young grandmother, Princess Cheng had a seizure in the middle of the night last night, and gave birth to a little son at dawn." You see, this is the happy egg given away by King Cheng's mansion. β
The housekeeper asked Mo Xiang to give the happy egg to Fan Anyang, "This is ......"
"Give you some joy, so that you can be happy to import Ding for the second young master as soon as possible." The housekeeper smiled with a smile on her face, and her eyes glanced at Fan Anyang's slender waist.
Fan Anyang wanted to roll his eyes, I haven't had time yet, I don't have a round house, what kind of arms to open, what to add, what to enter!
Du Yunxun came back, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but ask, and the housekeeper told the second young master about it, Du Yunxun nodded, "Cheng Mama Jiyan, when the second young grandmother is happy, Mama will wait to get the big red seal." β
The housekeeper was overjoyed when she heard it, and she was so happy that the auspicious words were endless, Du Yunxun was very happy to hear it, and asked Anan to give a reward, and when the housekeeper left with a thick reward, she thought with joy, who said that the second young master is not good at waiting!
