Chapter Twenty-Six: The Hou Mansion Invites
Cheng Yi Yaolai giggled in the arms of the Duchess of the Kingdom: "Yao'er still likes grandmother the most!" ”
"I believe that you are a monkey, because I am worried that my grandmother will not bring you with you when she goes to the Yongqing Marquis Mansion, so I came to scold me!" Duchess looked at her granddaughter with a smile.
"No, absolutely not, you see that your granddaughter always likes you, so you know that your granddaughter likes you!" Cheng Yiyao straightened up and said seriously, as if she was afraid that the Duchess would not believe it.
"Old lady, don't tease the eldest lady, you should cry after a while when you see her little appearance!" Mama Su helplessly looked at the laughing grandparents and grandchildren, a child and an old child.
"Mama!" Cheng Yiyao turned her head to look at Mama Su with a sad face, "Does Yao'er like to cry so much?" ”
At this time, a maid reported that the second and fifth masters were coming.
"The child meets his mother!"
"Come and sit on the kang, it's cold outside!" The Duchess of the Kingdom was busy.
Compared with the fifth master, the second master always has a faint smile on his face, which is naturally stricter, but compared with Cheng Jingrui's strict face, it is much softer: "The child has just taken office, and he has not come to visit his mother these days, so I will come over to take a look today, this is not just the fifth child!" ”
"Yao'er has seen the second uncle and the fifth uncle!" At this time, Cheng Yiyao had already gotten off the kang and saluted the two of them in a proper manner.
"Did Xiao Yaoyao miss the fifth uncle?" Cheng Jinghao hugged Cheng Yiyao up.
Cheng Yiyao was dissatisfied: "Fifth uncle, I'm a big girl!" ”
Cheng Jinghao was completely unimpressed: "Yes, but no matter how big a girl you are, I am also your fifth uncle!" ”
Well, Cheng Yiyao is defeated!
"Okay, you're not young and you're so unstable, you really have to find someone to take care of you!" It was the Duchess of Guo who rescued Cheng Yiyao from Cheng Jinghao's demonic grasp.
Cheng Jingyu glanced at Cheng Jinghao and Cheng Yiyao a little strangely, in his impression, this niece, who has always been well-behaved and obedient, has not been so closely related to the fifth child.
"I heard laughter outside the house just now, why is my mother so happy?" Cheng Jinghao sat on the kang and teased Cheng Yiyao who was hiding behind the Duchess from time to time.
"It's nothing, just now the Marquis of Yongqing's Mansion came to ask us to go to the mansion tomorrow to listen to the play, it is a famous and Changban in the capital." Duchess Guo said and pushed Cheng Jinghao again, "No serious, go sit on your second brother's side!" ”
Cheng Jinghao no longer relied on obediently going to sit next to Cheng Jingyu, at this time Cheng Jingyu said: "It's okay, the son ordered someone to go, the carriage and horses are ready, tomorrow the son may not be able to accompany you, let the fifth child accompany you!" ”
"It's okay, if you have something to do, go and get busy, we're just going to listen to a play."
The relationship with the Yongqing Marquis Mansion has been deadlocked since the Cui family left, and it is a good thing that it can be frozen this time, Cheng Jinghao said: "Has my mother prepared all the gifts for the Yongqing Marquis Mansion?" ”
"Ready, this is the first time I've come to the door in all these years, and I won't forget it!" The Duchess nodded.
"The second brother has something to talk to his mother about, I'll take Xiao Yaoyao to the west to eat snacks first!" As he spoke, he got up and went over to pick up the reluctant Cheng Yiyao and walked out of the east room.
When Cheng Jinghao took Cheng Yiyao to leave the Duchess Fang Dao: "How have you been in the military department these days?" ”
"My son is still good in the military department, and the military department is still the prime minister of Wang Cheng, and he also takes care of his son." Cheng Jingyu's face was solemn, "I came today to tell you something, the Western Liang Kingdom is also a little restless at the border, the eldest brother was temporarily transferred to the west, and now the holy decree is already on the way." ”
Cheng Jingyu thought about this for a few days and decided to tell the old lady that anyway, where to go is not a frontier battlefield, that is, there is a father in the south to take care of it, and when you get to the west, you have to rely on the eldest brother himself.
"We can't do this, we have to send someone to send more clothes, the west is not warmer than the south, I'm afraid he won't be able to bring enough!" The Duchy has fought on the battlefield all his life, and he is used to these Duchess and Duchess.
"I think so too, I have to trouble my mother and sister-in-law." After all, he is a little brother-in-law, so it is not good to tell his sister-in-law these things directly, so it is naturally better to let the Duchess deal with it.
As for his wife who has no eyesight, Cheng Erye can only smile helplessly, this person has no bad intentions but can't speak, and he can't look at people's faces, and it's a shame that Cheng Jingyu likes this, and the second room is also clean, otherwise her temperament can not only be killed by others.
On the second day, Cheng Yiyao got up early in the morning, rushed to Shoukangzhai early, and went to Yongqing Houfu to watch a play today.
"So early today? I don't sleep much! The Duchess pulled her little granddaughter, "Since you are here early, then accompany me to breakfast." ”
As he spoke, he had already instructed Bi Tao to add a few dishes and chopsticks.
"Say whatever you want!" The Duchess asked people to give jujube porridge, "If you can't get used to eating it, let the kitchen make something else for you!" ”
Cheng Yiyao took a small bite of the jujube kernel porridge, swallowed it and raised her head: "It's delicious, grandmother, you eat it too!" ”
After the grandfather and grandson used it here, a maid came in to report that the fifth master and the second lady were already waiting in the warm pavilion.
Chengguo Mansion does not have to set the province every morning and dusk since the beginning of the Duchess of Guo, as long as it is the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, and then the New Year's Festival, yesterday is the first day of the new year, and several ladies will not come over today, but today I want to go to the Yongqing Hou Mansion, so naturally I will not just take Cheng Yiyao alone.
"Then let's go over too, it's also warm, save them from moving their positions again, and they have to leave in a while!" The Duchess of the Kingdom is distressed about her children and grandchildren, and it is easier to get sick when she goes in and out on a cold day.
Cheng Yiyao stepped forward and took the hand of the Duchess and said, "We just have to eat and drink!" ”
"Our Yao'er uncle knows that Yao is eating!" Duchess Guo smiled and gently patted Cheng Yiyao's head.
A few people chatting in the warm pavilion suddenly saw the Duchess come in, and they all stood up and saluted.
"Why did Mother come here?" The second lady stepped forward to support the people of the country's mansion, "You sent someone to let us pass, how can you come over yourself!" ”
"We've just eaten it, and we're going to eat it! When the old family and the third and fourth families came over, we got up. ”
As he spoke, Cheng Yisheng came over and took Cheng Yiyao's hand and said in a glutinous childish voice: "Big sister, we're going to your grandfather's house in a while, right?" ”
"Yes! Brother Sheng wants to eat chestnut cake? Cheng Yiyao raised her eyebrows and teased, the chestnut cake that Cheng Yiyao brought back from the Hou Mansion was divided into some parties, and the chestnut cake of the Hou Mansion was not sure if it was added, and the ingredients were more delicious than usual, but each family in this meritorious family has its own ability, and the osmanthus cake of the Chengguo Mansion is also first-class, Cheng Yisheng ate several pieces secretly while eating delicious, and the small stomach of others is naturally not big, so he ate it all of a sudden, and he fell asleep until the middle of the night.
Seeing his sister laughing at him, Cheng Yisheng's little face turned red all of a sudden: "How can I have it!" ”
"My sister likes to eat it too, so we'll bring some back when the time comes." Cheng Yiyao knew that children were thin-skinned, and she no longer made fun of them.
At this time, a maid came in to report: "Old lady Qiqi, the third master, the fourth master and the two ladies have arrived, and the eldest lady sent the maid to report that Aunt Lian was a little uncomfortable, and she had to take care of it at home, so she didn't go." ”
It's because everyone knows it, but the Wang family has always been like this, and Cheng Yiyao has never even bothered to do face-saving work: "Since this is the case, then let's go first!" ”
Cheng Yiyao sneered in her heart, this is also the shrewdness of the Wang family, even in the previous life, she has always felt that she is a person who can't hide things, although she has done a little too much on the surface, but it is to create some small troubles, you can't really hurt yourself, let her take advantage of some advantages, I think the Duchess of the Kingdom also thinks so.
So no one will ever doubt that she will really do something too excessive, but they don't want her to come to the bottom of the kettle as soon as she makes a move, and directly ruin Cheng Yiyao's life.
Withdrawing her thoughts, Cheng Yiyao knew that those were in the past, and now she would never be deceived by these appearances again, so she didn't want to harm herself again, and see how she ruined this seemingly cool face!
