Gao's mother brought back a message from Duan and Cao.

Duan wants to stay in Beijing for a few more days, but he is afraid that he will not return to Yongzhou until winter for the New Year; Cao is leaving, but it will be another month late.

Zhen Xuan listened to Gao's mother's words, and after a little thought, she understood.

Over the years, the Duan family has been serving Mrs. Ma in Yongzhou, and the two concubines, Aunt Li and Aunt Chen, are with them, and there is only one henchman left in Beijing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Zhen Lin's marriage, the Duan family came to Beijing, and naturally wanted to live next to Master Pei for a while longer, among the children, only Zhen Yan was in the old mansion, and the rest were in Beijing.

Staying here, the Duan family can often go to see Zhenke to support her; Although I can't see Zhenlin all the time, if there is any situation, that is, the carriage is a little way, I can see it in half an hour; Zhende is the meat of her heart, and she has been thinking about it when she hasn't been around for many years; And Zhenhui and Zhenhuan, separated from Aunt Chen, it is better for the Duan family to discipline the concubines and concubines.

In Yongzhou, Qingrongtang was handed over to the Sun family to take care of, and the Duan family had 10,000 hearts, and Brother Chen and Sister Yuan had the Sun family with them, so there would be no problem.

Duan's peace of mind is to stay in the capital until the end of autumn and then return.

Although Cao's family is in Beijing, she wants to go back.

When Fu Siye returned from sending his relatives, the marriage should be done, after all, there are still several young ladies who have not been in the sedan chair.

Zhou's should give birth in July and August, and after Zhou's confinement is out and he is in charge of the family's affairs, he will arrange Zhenqiong's wedding, before that. The Cao family is definitely going to marry Zhenqi to the Fu family.

Although Zhenqi's dowry or something was prepared early. But the days have to be picked again and again. There is room to pick it up earlier.

It's just that Zhou's rest assured that Zhenlu couldn't take care of Zhenlu, Zhenlu took office in April, and there was no female dependents around her, so she wanted to live in Beijing for another month to help Zhenlu take care of it again.

Mother Gao took a few sips of tea and said with a smile: "After the sixth master took office, he still lived in the Shilang Mansion, and the slave maid listened to the tone of the fifth wife, probably wanting to choose a house for the sixth master when the sixth grandmother entered the door." Mrs. Five. I wish I could marry a daughter-in-law tomorrow. ”

Zhen Xuan also smiled when she heard this, but all mothers want their sons to marry daughters-in-law early, and their daughters can be around for a few more years.

I'm afraid that Yanling can't be fast, Zhen Xu and Liu Jiuniang's marriage date has not been determined, and Zhen Lu is not good to marry his brother first, so he has to wait for another year or two.

Since no one in the Pei family wanted to go back together, Xia Yiqing only arranged the itinerary of the two couples.

Zhen Xuan pillowed Xia Yiqing's arm, thoughtful.

She wanted to see Zhenlin again before leaving, but she didn't know how to rush over the post. Will it make Zhen Lin embarrassed?

Xia Yiqing saw Zhen Xuan frowning, and pressed her fingers on her eyebrows. "What do you think?" ”

Zhen Xuan blinked, telling the truth.

"Then go ahead." Xia Yiqing said.

Zhen Xuan was surprised, why did she feel that Xia Yiqing was so light, it seemed that she didn't need to think about it.

"I'm going to visit His Highness before I leave."

Zhen Xuan was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly understood.

This post was not delivered as Zhenlin's sister, it was Xia Yiqing who wanted to see His Royal Highness the Seventh and brought his wife with him.

Zhen Xuan smiled and raised her eyes to look at Xia Yiqing: "I am stained with the light of the second master." ”

A few years ago, several princes divided their mansions and did not live in the palace anymore, and the mansions of the seven princes were not far from the palace, and the relatives of the emperor lived nearby. When I got closer, it seemed that even the palace walls were clear, as if I could touch the mottled shadows of the trees printed on the walls.

The carriage stopped outside the mansion, and the porter led it through the side door.

Xia Yiqing went to the study, Zhen Xuan changed into a small sedan chair in the inner courtyard and was led to the backyard by a mother-in-law.

After a quarter of an hour, the sedan chair fell, the sedan curtain was lifted, and the mother-in-law said with a smile: "Xiangjun, it's here." ”

Zhen Xuan helped her hand down, and on the left hand side was an elegant courtyard, and there was a maid standing at the door, which was Hualu.

Hua Lu greeted her, saluted first, thanked the mother-in-law with a smile, stuffed a red envelope in the past, and rewarded the mother-in-law who carried the sedan chair, and then said to Zhen Xuan: "The master knows that Aunt Lu Dao is coming, and I have been looking forward to it." ”

Zhen Xuan followed the flower dew into the small courtyard, there are a lot of flowers in the courtyard, and the placement is not much different from when she was in Yongzhou, so Zhen Xuan is a little trance, as if she has arrived in Qingrong Hall.

Hua Lu saw Zhen Xuan's expression and whispered to her: "The master likes these, so he asks the slaves and maids to put them like this." ”

Zhen Xuan nodded and asked, "What is the fourth sister doing?" ”

Hualu lowered her eyes and replied: "The master has a guest today." ”

Zhen Xuan was surprised, but she didn't expect it to come so unfortunately: "What guest?" Shall I wait a while before going in? ”

Hua Lu hurriedly shook her head and replied, "It's an acquaintance, and my aunt and grandmother also know it, Prince Rui's princess." ”

This name sounded a little unfamiliar at first, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhen Xuan remembered that it was indeed an acquaintance, and she would feel that the name was unfamiliar because she had never called this person by this name before.

She calls her "Sister Munn".

Entering the room and looking at the two people sitting together laughing and talking, Zhen Xuan was a little distracted.

She hasn't seen Yan Muen for a long, long time, since Zhen Ying married into the Yongliang Palace, Zhen Xuan has never been to the palace again, nor has she seen Yan Muen and Yan Muyi.

After such an accident, it would be embarrassing to see each other, and the friendship in the boudoir could only be remembered for each other.

The year before last, Zhen Xuan heard that Yan Muen was out of the cabinet, and the emperor, who didn't care about the marriage of the children of Yongliang Palace, suddenly pointed out the marriage, and pointed out Yan Muen to the prince of Rui, and Yan Muyi pointed out to the second grandson of the Xiao family of the Marquis of Zhenguo.

It's just that Zhen Xuan didn't expect that she would meet Yan Muen again in Beijing.

Seeing Zhen Xuan coming in but distracted, Zhen Lin called her with a smile: "What did Seventh Sister think?" ”

Zhen Xuan came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I wonder how many years I haven't seen the fourth sister and Sister Muen talking together, in the past, it was obviously a boudoir lady, but now they have combed their women's hair, I feel dazzled for a while." ”

Hearing Zhen Xuan mention it, Zhen Lin and Yan Muen also felt a little emotional, when was the last time the three of them got together?

That year's Spring Festival banquet, in the blink of an eye, has been four years.

Although it was a thing of the past, the three of them were reluctant to mention those unhappy things, and their memories were full of interesting things they had said when they were young.

Yan Muen smiled and said, "I knew that you would come over today, so I should have told my third sister earlier and asked her to come too." ”

"I came with our second master, and I didn't know that Lu Dao would meet Sister Muen." Zhen Xuan said with a smile.

"What else do you say?" Yan Muen glanced at Zhen Xuan, "Since you came to Beijing, you won't send a post over." Let me tell you, next time you go to Beijing, you must come to see me. There are a lot of female relatives in the capital, but in the end, they are not as friendly as our boudoirs. ”

If this word is spread out, I am afraid that it will cause some trouble. Yan Muen said bluntly, first, her identity is not ordinary, and second, there are only three of them here, and they can't be passed on.

Zhen Xuan nodded and responded, "Okay." ”

After saying something for a long time, the embarrassment has long been swept aside, and it is still as close as it was back then, which makes people happy.

Thinking that Zhen Lin and Zhen Xuan were afraid that they would have something else to say, Yan Muen took his leave first.

Zhen Lin and Zhen Xuan got up and sent them to the outside of the small courtyard, and when they saw her in a sedan chair and walked away, they came back and sat down.

"When are you leaving?" Zhen Lin asked, tilting her head.

"Five more days."

Things are almost packed, in April the boat is much more convenient than in winter, from the ferry outside the capital to the south, the road does not have to be as rushed as when entering Beijing, the end of April and early May can reach Yongzhou.

Zhen Lin bowed: "Remember to write to me." ”

Zhen Xuan responded with a smile, and told Zhen Lin about the Shilang Mansion.

After hearing this, Zhen Lin sighed quietly: "I can't go out of the house often, so I'm looking forward to the festival." But it doesn't matter, it's nice here, just like at home. ”

Same at home.

Not only is the flower arrangement in the courtyard similar to Qingrong Hall, but the appearance of the house is also similar to Zhenlin's former boudoir.

The courtyard of the side concubine is not the main house, and it is not the place where the Seven Princes live on weekdays, so it is natural to ask Zhenlin to plan freely.

It's just that Zhen Lin planned like this, and he should have asked the opinion of the Seven Princes.

Zhen Xuan was speechless for a while, she didn't know how Lu Dao asked Zhen Lin about her life after marriage, and how many princes came to her? Or how about the Seven Princes' rooms? She cared about Zhen Lin, so she didn't know how to speak.

Zhen Lin seemed to see Zhen Xuan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine." ”

Real or false, the more she cared, the more she couldn't tell the difference, Zhen Xuan could only bend the corners of her lips at Zhen Lin and give her a smile in response.

After Xia Yiqing finished talking with the Seventh Prince, a mother-in-law came to invite Zhen Xuan.

The sisters said goodbye, Zhen Xuan still took a small sedan chair to the side door, and got into the carriage with Xia Yiqing.

Seeing Xia Yiqing looking at her, Zhen Xuan said: "I've seen Sister Muen, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I have talked a lot about when I was a child." ”

Xia Yiqing grabbed Zhen Xuan, let her lean on his shoulder, and said, "They have their own way of getting along." ”

Zhen Xuan's body stiffened, she obviously didn't say anything, but Xia Yiqing saw it, and he knew what she was most concerned about.

The calm voice made people feel reassured, Zhen Xuan sniffed and closed her eyes: "En." ”

In the blue and white alleys, the most rearly preparations were being made, and the people who temporarily took over the house in the Beijing shop also arrived, and they counted the things left in the capital with the chessboard.

The day before leaving, Xia Yiqing and Zhen Xuan went to Shilang's Mansion to say goodbye.

Duan handed Zhen Xuan a letter to her family and asked her to pass it on to Mrs. Ma.

Zhen Qi's eyes were red, and Zhen Xuan couldn't help but laugh at her: "In another month, won't the fifth sister also return to Yongzhou?" ”

Zhen Qi's cheeks were redder than her eyes, and she turned her head to not talk to Zhen Xuan, which caused Duan's jokes again.

On the day of the return trip, Zhiqi and Momoya put away all their belongings, and the group got into the carriage and headed to the ferry. (To be continued......)
