Things went like this, the girls who originally participated in the lake tour were all returned home, as for their fate, it was not his concern, but the original plan was also disrupted.
Since she is so unwilling, even if she forcibly gives marriage, I am afraid that she will not get any benefits, forget it, it is better to fulfill her wish, alas!
The emperor sighed, after all, he still trusted them in his heart, maybe it was because they had never changed, that made people grit their teeth with admiration and annoyance.
It didn't take long for Ziqing to go home after meeting the other draft girls, and when she left the palace, standing at the gate of the palace, she suddenly felt like a world away, the impact of this month on her was too great, and it also made her know her shortcomings.
"Girl, are you okay, let me see." Yang Lan came to pick up her daughter in person, and as soon as she saw her, she ran over and hugged her daughter and looked at her carefully.
"Mother, I'm fine, don't worry." Ziqing showed a relieved smile, and there was a little more tenderness in her eyes.
"Well, I look like I've lost weight." Yang Lan couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes, her chin was pointed, and she didn't know how much she had suffered.
Rong Yi also walked over and coughed lightly, "Let's get in the car first, what is the crying at the palace gate, let's talk about it when we go home." ”
"Oh, go home, go home and my mother stewed soup for you." Yang Lan hurriedly pressed the corner of her eye with a handkerchief, and pulled her baby girl to the carriage.
When I got home, I went to see my mother-in-law first, Mrs. Rong had been worried about Ziqing, and in less than a month, she didn't look very energetic, and her complexion was not very good, and she looked a little sluggish.
This time I will see Ziqing. Mrs. Yung cried excitedly. "My good grandson. Why did you lose weight like this, did they rub you, I have to settle accounts with them. ”
"No, I'm fine, it's true that the food is not very good, just make me more delicious food." When Ziqing returned home, she felt steady, and immediately became lively, trying her best to gag and make her grandmother happy.
"Good. Didn't you stew the soup, let someone serve it quickly, and it's good to drink a little upside down first. Mrs. Rong waved her hand eagerly, and asked Yang Lan to order someone to bring soup to her granddaughter.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll go." Yang Lan coaxed her mother-in-law, and hurriedly ordered someone to serve the soup, and by the way, she also asked Ziqing to wash up.
After washing her face, Zi Qingcai sat down and told her grandmother and mother everything about the palace, and also told her what she had seen and felt.
Yang Lan smiled with satisfaction after hearing this. smiled at her mother-in-law: "See, it's grown." If you don't go through this experience, you won't be able to grow. ”
The mother-in-law also nodded and smashed her mouth, "Yes, but I feel distressed." She sighed faintly.
After talking for a while, Ziqing felt a little tired after drinking some white fungus soup, she didn't dare to relax in the palace, she didn't sleep well, she couldn't come back this time, she yawned vigorously, Yang Lan looked at it, and asked her to go to her mother-in-law's warm pavilion to sleep for a while.
"I heard that it was registered, but I don't know how to arrange it? If I really can't do it, I'll go to the palace and beg the Queen Mother. Mrs. Rong thought for a long time before saying this.
Although she is her own sister, she has been separated for so many years, and her sister is already the queen mother, and she doesn't want to enter the palace until she has to, which makes everyone embarrassed.
"No, just wait." Yang Lan didn't know what to wait for, but she felt that there was no point in entering the palace now.
After waiting anxiously for two days, the will finally came down, and the whole family knelt down to listen to the order, which surprised Yang Lan and the whole family, but they didn't expect that the will was given to Mu Yan as his wife, which made them very surprised and very surprised.
I thought that it was impossible for the emperor to change his mind, but I really didn't expect him to change his mind and give Ziqing a freedom.
Yang Lan happily concluded the decree and rewarded the eunuch generously, and it was the personal eunuch who had served by the emperor's side for many years to announce the decree, "County Lord, this time you are satisfied, the emperor still thinks of you." That's all he said and sighed.
Yang Lan stopped talking and said: "You go back and tell him, let him be a little less demon, don't repeat the mistakes of the Ten Princes, my uncle regrets it when he dies." ”
The eunuch's eyebrows jumped, and he only felt that the sky was thundering, that matter can be mentioned casually, my aunt, my head is not as hard as your head.
Yang Lan smiled, "It's okay, you just tell him like this, he won't blame you, he has the same mirror in his heart." I won't say this anymore in the future, I'm tired, I'm not young anymore, I can't afford to toss. She also sighed, young and vigorous or something, it's not suitable for her age, she's almost forty, please, don't toss.
The eunuch nodded, gritted his teeth, and wondered in his heart that the emperor wanted to say something when he saw himself going out today, maybe he was just waiting for the words of the county lord, alas!
The frightened eunuch left, but Yang Lan felt much more comfortable, and also had the heart to laugh, "Hey, I must have a big meal today, no one should stop me, I have been worried for so long, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, girl, this is your own choice, my mother has done it for you, don't regret saying that you married the wrong thing in the future, I don't follow it." She still solemnly reminded her daughter that life is lived by herself, and life is run by herself.
You can fight for whatever day you want, and you can't wait for others to give it to you.
Ziqing nodded happily, "Mother, I understand, don't worry, I've grown up." She snuggled in Yang Lan's arms, and was extremely supple and well-behaved.
Yang Lan let out a long breath, "It's done, only your brother's leather boy is left, and when he also chooses a daughter-in-law, I can let it go, my mother is tired." She let out a faint breath.
Ziqing was buried in her mother's arms, feeling that she was very unfilial, so she worried her mother after being busy, "Mother, my daughter will definitely live a good life, and she won't mess around." Wait for the New Year to go back to Jiangnan, my fourth uncle also needs someone to help, shouldn't my father also take office, it is suitable for your physical recuperation, and you will come back when I get married. ”
She knew that her mother didn't like the battle in the capital and preferred to live a plain life, so she was willing for her mother to go to Jiangnan to recuperate.
"Well, when your eldest brother is coming back next year, the emperor said that he did a good job and is ready to promote him, and then I plan to wait for your eldest brother and sister-in-law to come back, take your grandmother with me, and go to Jiangnan with me, what do you say?" Yang Lan looked back at her in-laws. I feel that my in-laws are old, and my daughter-in-law is enjoying it outside, but she doesn't serve the old man, so she just packs it and takes it away.
The father-in-law touched his chin and pondered for a moment, patted his thigh and nodded sharply, "Cheng, old woman, just pack up your things when you turn around, this time Brother Yu won't leave easily when he comes back, let's go find the fourth child." ”
Mrs. Rong is also worried about her son, her wife has spoken, so she is naturally obedient, her two sons are in Jiangnan, so naturally she will go wherever her son is, so she nodded happily.
This matter is so decided, Brother Yu is the son of the world cannot be outside forever, he has done a good job in the past three years, the emperor is very satisfied, now is the time when there is a shortage of people, the emperor waved his hand to transfer people back, this time it is a high promotion, as for Brother An, he will have to stay for another three years before he can come back.
Everyone was busy with Ziqing's affairs, and finally settled down, and began to prepare for the New Year, by the way, write a letter to Rong Yan to report safety, talk about the affairs of the family, and let the fourth daughter-in-law clean up the yard in advance and settle her in-laws.
The Lu family has suffered a lot of losses this time, although Lu Yunfei is a little stupid, but she is a concubine, it is not easy to pull one out, the emperor characterized this incident as an accident, and gave the Lu family some corresponding compensation, even if it was over, the Lu family could not get the support of the emperor, and the concubine was also grounded, so the matter could only be swallowed by gritting his teeth.
As for whether he would suspect the Rong family or something, Rong Yi didn't care at all, and he didn't see the Lu family treat them leniently before he started, anyway, they didn't care about one thing.
Ziqing's dowry is almost complete, Yang Lan has accumulated for many years, and she has been preparing since she was born, with gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and she has made up enough one hundred and eight dowries, she originally wanted to give a little more, but Rong Yi said that the stepmother might not know what to do, and it would be more cost-effective to give more pressed silver.
Yang Lan was afraid that her daughter would be wronged, so she simply bought a three-entry mansion next to the Mu Family's Mansion, cleaned it up, and prepared it.
In the future, the marriage will be in that house, and the dowry or something will be left in the house, and it will be his own people, and his stepmother will not dare to rob it, dare to rob my daughter's things, and I will beat you out.
And the Mu family is also very happy that Yang Lan is unwilling to marry in the Guogong Mansion, especially the stepfamily is very happy, and he is not willing to be in the Guogong Mansion, the Guogong Mansion is my son's, it is better if you don't come.
Therefore, when discussing family affairs with Yang Lan, they happily agreed to her request, and agreed not to marry in the Guogong Mansion, but to live in the house they prepared by themselves next to it, and they were quite complacent, thinking that they had taken advantage.
Yang Lan snickered in her heart, I just want my daughter to be more comfortable, who cares about your family's affairs, as for whether my son-in-law wants the Guogong Mansion or not, it is his business, it has nothing to do with me, I just said that I would marry in the house, I didn't say that I didn't want the Guogong Mansion.
Anyway, the steproom still didn't dare to offend Yang Lan ruthlessly, so he took the initiative to come to the door to talk about family affairs, and it was quite smooth on the surface.
After taking care of her daughter's family affairs, it's time for the New Year, Yang Lan asked her daughter to help her deal with the New Year's affairs, and by the way, she exercised her daughter, and pointed out the last thing that should be taught in detail.
During the Chinese New Year, Brother Yu came back with his daughter-in-law and children, and he didn't leave this time, Yang Lan was happy that his son was back, and prepared a lot of good things for his son, daughter-in-law and grandson, Brother An couldn't come back this year, there were still many things to do in the place, and the time was too tight to leave, so he wrote a letter back.
Yang Lan and her son got together to talk and laugh, took her daughter to point out the things of the housekeeper, and the daughter-in-law also brought a small gift to herself, although it was not valuable, it could be seen that it was carefully selected, and she was very happy.
