Manager Liu of Baoci Palace also stepped forward to have fun at this time.

"An Lehou only arrived in the capital last night, and today he didn't even rest for half a day, so he entered the palace to see the two mothers, this filial piety, but nothing can compare to it." Manager Liu said with a smile.

Empress Dowager Yang and Empress Dowager Li already had a smile on their faces, and hurriedly asked the acrobatic team to close the stall.

Fan Yu and Princess Huanyu entered the palace and learned that Empress Dowager Yang was also in Cining Palace, so they saved two things and went directly to Cining Palace.

Behind them, someone else followed with a suitcase.

When Fan Yu entered Cining Palace, he saw that Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Yang were looking at the palace gate with the support of Chief Manager Ning and Chief Manager Liu.

He walked quickly to the front of Empress Dowager Li, and remembered that Princess Huanyu said that she opened the palace gate last night, and he was excited. This is really concerned about yourself, so you will do this.

Kneeling down, Fan Yu said: "Mother, the child has only returned to Beijing for a long time, so that the mother is worried, the child is not filial." ”

Empress Dowager Li was originally very happy, but when she saw Fan Yuxing such a big gift, she couldn't help but have a sour nose.

"Yu'er, good boy, it's too cold on the ground, get up quickly." The stepmother, Empress Dowager Li, stretched out her hand to help Fan Yu and blamed: "You went to Liao for state affairs, how could my mother blame you." It's just that after this period of time, I always feel that something is missing. Let my mother see, you must have suffered a lot along the way. ”

Fan Yu got up and said with a smile: "The child is an envoy, and there is a carriage back and forth." Nanjing is not a poor place, but it is not much different. ”

Empress Dowager Yang glanced at Fan Yu a few times, and couldn't help sighing: "After a long journey on the saddle horse, Yu'er's whole person has lost some weight, but she looks much more energetic." ”

"Hurry up and go into the temple to rest, it's cold outside, let's not talk here endlessly." Empress Dowager Li glanced at Manager Ning, "Add a few more charcoal basins, don't let Yu'er get cold." ”

Princess Huanyu stepped forward to support Empress Dowager Yang and said, "Mother, let's all go into the palace." ”

Fan Yu stepped forward to support Empress Dowager Li, and the four of them entered the palace of Cining Palace together.

Letting the Empress Dowager Li and the Empress Dowager Yang sit down, Fan Yu patted his forehead and said, "By the way, I brought gifts back from Liao to my mother and aunt, and it is the time when I can use them." ”

"What kind of gift is not a gift, Yu'er, you come back to An, it is the best gift. As long as you don't suffer outside, it's good to worry less about your mother. Empress Dowager Li said with a smile.

"Auntie, this is a piece of filial piety from your husband, so don't shirk it." Princess Huanyu smiled.

Fan Yu asked Xiao Huangmen to carry the three boxes in and put them in the hall.

Reaching out and opening the first wooden box, he took out a leather robe and shook it open.

"Mother, this is a robe made of mink fur in Liao, which is the warmest. Even in dripping ice, you won't feel cold when you put it on your body. Fan Yu took the robe and put it on for his stepmother, Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Yang is knowledgeable, this mink skin looks black and oily, but when it shines in a place where the light is strong, it is faintly purple. This is no ordinary mink, but the most precious sable skin.

"Sister, your mink robe is worth a lot. With just this one, you can change a two-acre house in the inner city of Bianliang. Empress Dowager Yang said with some envy: "Yu'er is in Liaoguo, and she is also thinking about Sister A." ”

Princess Huanyu saw that her mother's words were full of envy, and couldn't help laughing: "Mother, my husband has prepared a gift for the eldest lady, how can I forget that you, my mother-in-law, also have the same robe." ”

As she spoke, Princess Huanyu went to the box and took one out, put it on her mother, and said, "Look, isn't it." This kind of fine fur is a whirl when it is blown. ”

Although Huanyu was telling Empress Dowager Yang about the benefits of this sable fur robe, he was also praising his husband by changing the law.

"It's really good." Empress Dowager Yang glanced at her daughter with a smile and teased: "You girl always wants to praise your husband, I can see this careful thinking at a glance." You are not ashamed. ”

When Empress Dowager Li heard that Empress Dowager Yang was teaching her daughter, she couldn't help laughing and said: "This is the husband and wife, I think Jingyi, this child is very virtuous, and he must be a virtuous helper who can run the family." ”

"Mother, aunt, I also have two sets of jewelry here, and two boxes of century-old wild ginseng, which are also gifts for you." Fan Yu took out four more boxes from the other two boxes.

Of course, the wild ginseng didn't have much to look at, so it was all put aside.

No matter how old a woman is, she basically has little resistance to jewelry. Although the two queen mothers have a lot of jewelry in their own palaces. But there are not too many of them.

The gold jewelry is not enough, but the most rare thing for them is the pearls on the jewelry.

The smallest pearls are the size of the little finger, all round and warm, exuding a soft luster.

The stepmother, Empress Dowager Li, took a string of pearl necklaces, touched her hand, and put it back.

"Yu'er, you gave us such a precious gift, but it was a bit too expensive." Empress Dowager Li said a little unhappily: "I'm afraid this is the Dongzhu of Liao, which is the best." Each piece is round, and it is even more precious. You've just started a family and you don't have much savings, so why spend it like that. The mother eats and drinks in the palace, and is not interested in these things. I'll take the rest of the gifts, and you can take them back. ”

Although Empress Dowager Yang was a little reluctant, she could only put an engraved gold bracelet in her hand into the box and pushed it aside.

Fan Yu and Princess Huanyu glanced at each other, and her mother lost her temper.

After a little thought, Fan Yu knew why his stepmother was like this. Obviously, he felt that the foundation of his family business was still thin and should not be so extravagant. But in fact, these things are part of Yelu Chongyuan's goods. Fan Yu finished making a sum, these gifts were just a fraction.

"Mother rest assured." Fan Yu couldn't help but comfort: "The child doesn't steal or rob, these gifts are all earned by me doing business with the emperor of Liao." The mother and aunt just have to accept it with confidence, don't worry about anything for the child. ”

Princess Huanyu also hurriedly persuaded: "Yes, eldest lady, my husband is not a person who does what he can, and his heart is not easy to live up." ”

Under the persuasion of Fan Yu and his wife, Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Yang accepted it.

Just as Fan Yu was telling his stepmother and Empress Dowager Yang about what he had seen in Liao, Xiao Huangmen hurriedly came to report.

"The official family came, saying that they were going to dine with the two ladies in Cining Palace." Xiao Huangmen bowed and said.

Empress Dowager Li snorted and said, "The official family has seen me less these days, obviously because they are afraid that I will blame him." Today, I must have heard that Yu'er came to the palace to see me, so I came here. ”

Empress Dowager Yang couldn't help laughing and said: "Sister, don't criticize the official family, he is my great Song Emperor, who inherits the will of heaven and takes care of Limin, and the burden on his shoulders is extremely heavy." There are a lot of state affairs to work on every day. Sometimes there is negligence. ”

Fan Yu also said: "Mother, the official family is also benevolent and filial. is even more of a Ming Jun who is responsible for state affairs, but don't blame him anymore. ”

As he was talking, the official Zhao Zhen came in from outside.

"Say hello to the eldest lady and the little lady, the two mothers are well." Zhao Zhen saw that Fan Yu and his wife were present, so he smiled and asked Andao.

Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Yang, the two nodded.

"Give the official a seat." Empress Dowager Li instructed Ning to pipe.

As soon as Zhao Zhen sat down, he spoke: "An Lehou, you went to Liao State this time, and less than a day after you came back, someone impeached you. ”
