"Look at the slave's memory, I was so happy to see my aunt and grandmother that I almost forgot about it." Xiangyun patted her head and explained in a rather annoyed voice, "The old lady has long wanted to send a slave and maid over, but it's not easy to act without a name." I happened to learn that the emperor had given my uncle something to give, so he asked me to come with the team that gave the reward, and there was a good response on the way. ”

Xu Jiayi blinked her eyes and was a little puzzled, Chu Changfeng hasn't made any contributions recently, why did the emperor think of giving him a reward, is there still a lot of things he doesn't know? !

Xu Jiayi wanted to ask twice, but who knew that Xiangyun didn't know anything about it. Although she took a ride along the way, she also knew that these people were all in the palace, and her little slave naturally tried her best to reduce her sense of existence and didn't dare to ask indiscriminately.

Seeing Xu Jiayi's frowning appearance, Xiangyun added another sentence, "Auntie, the people who gave the reward have also arrived in Changzhou, but they went to the post station to repair first, and they are about to arrive at the Anping Marquis Mansion at this time." ”

It turns out that Xiangyun guessed correctly, as soon as the front foot of them returned to Fengyuan, the person who announced the decree on the back foot came. Chu Changfeng and Chu Minglei were not there, and there were only three female dependents in the Anping Marquis Mansion at home, so they all went to the main courtyard to kneel to receive the order. The ceremonial official who announced the decree was also a decent person, and he read out the decree as soon as he came to greet him, and the emperor's reward this time did not mean anything else, that is, to reward Chu Changfeng for his meritorious service in guarding the border pass, which were all rewarded to him and Xu Jiayi.

The palace people who followed the ceremonial official moved boxes and boxes into the courtyard, and it took two quarters of an hour to send them all in.

So much stuff!

Xu Jiayi watched with some surprise as the eunuchs and attendants moved the boxes into the house one by one, and couldn't help but exclaim in her heart.

This is not Yanjing City, and the mansion farthest away from the palace is only a dozen miles away, so it is not strange that any rewards are sent to the mansion. But the place where they are now is a border pass, although it can't be said to be 108,000 miles away from Yanjing City, but it is also a long way!

There is a desire to send these gold, silver, jewelry, and silk to the border pass, and it is better to send some food and medicinal materials.

Xu Jiayi secretly said in her heart, these things can neither be eaten nor used, and they still occupy a place in the warehouse. It's still the emperor's heart, and these things need to be "enshrined".

After all the things were delivered, the official on the other side was ready to leave. Xu Jiayi hurriedly asked Xiangqiao to stuff a thick bag of silver for the ceremonial official, and the attendants who moved things behind were also rewarded, so they were sent out.

Since it was clearly pointed out that it was for Xu Jiayi and Chu Changfeng, the old lady Chu couldn't let people put these things into the treasury of the public middle school with a clear conscience, and after receiving the order, she said hello to Xu Jiayi and asked Xu Yao to help her back to Rongyang Hall.

Mama Hua instructed the maids in the front yard to send these boxes back to the maple garden first, and Xiangqiao and Xiangyun helped Xu Jiayi to go back to the yard first. Although they left first, they couldn't resist that the little guys were all nimble, and before they arrived, some of the things had already been sent to the yard.

A few people in the group stepped into the maple garden, and they saw a few little maids in the yard looking at these boxes with fascination. They have never been out of Changzhou, even the Marquis of Anping's mansion rarely goes out, and they have never seen the emperor's reward a few times. This may be the first time they have been so close to the emperor.

One of the little maids in yellow clothes had amazing eyes, and couldn't help but reach out and touch a white jade porcelain vase given by the emperor, and already thought in his heart, this thing given by the emperor must be good, it can be worth a lot of money, right?!

That's a lot of silver!

Anyway, it's money that I can't earn in my lifetime!

As soon as Xu Jiayi turned her head, she saw the little maid's face full of wealth and her eyes shining, she couldn't hold back a smile, and said faintly behind her, "You'd better not fight the idea of these things, damage or pawn the things rewarded by the emperor, you will lose your head." ”

The little maid said "ah", reluctantly glanced down at the white jade porcelain bottle in her hand, sighed and silently put the porcelain bottle back, and replied with trepidation, "The slave doesn't dare to ......"

She just thought about it in her heart, not to mention that it was rewarded by the emperor, it was something from her wife, she was a slave and maid, and she didn't dare to touch it!

In addition to the things rewarded by the emperor, Shangshu Mansion also added two boxes of things to bring together, as well as a family letter and silver ticket that Xiangyun brought closely. Xu Jiayi opened it and read the letter, and then looked at the clothes, handkerchiefs and sachets made by relatives in the box for herself, mixed with all kinds of gadgets.

Xu Jiayi looked at the things in front of her, and her tears fell uncontrollably.

Xiangyun and Xiangqiao persuaded them for a long time before they finally persuaded them.

"I'm fine," Xu Jiayi took a deep breath, took a handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face, pulled the corners of her mouth to show a smile, and cried with joy, "It's just that when I look at these things, I think of my grandfather and grandmother, as well as my uncle, aunt, cousin, and cousin." ”

"And my cousin-in-law, An An couldn't speak when I left, but now she will be called "Dad"? ”

"Come back, the little master is smart, not only will he be called Daddy, but he will also be called Mother and Grandmother!"

Xu Jiayi listened, couldn't help but bend her eyes, and asked about the situation of other people in the house, and Xiangyun responded one by one.

Xu Jiayi was talking with Xiangyun, when she heard a little maid outside come in to report that Chu Changfeng was back. Xu Jiayi's eyes lit up instantly, and Xiangyun hurriedly helped Xu Jiayi to stand up and greeted her.

In the past, Chu Changfeng stayed in the barracks all year round and didn't feel anything, but since there was a soft and delicate little girl at home, he thought about when he would have to go back home every day.

Today, when I entered the yard, I saw a lot of boxes in the yard, and the maids and women were registering and moving them to the warehouse, and I was feeling strange, so I saw Xu Jiayi coming out of the house beautifully.

"Uncle Cousin, you're back!" Xu Jiayi had a smile on her face, and when she saw Chu Changfeng, she happily ran over and followed him. Chu Changfeng looked at the smile on Xu Jiayi's face, raised his hand and pinched the flesh on her cheek, "Why are you so happy to see me back today?" Got into trouble? ”

"Not really." Xu Jiayi raised her hand to knock Chu Changfeng's hand down, raised her eyes and glared at him angrily, seeing that Chu Changfeng was angry when she was begging for mercy at herself, she took a step to the side and revealed Xiangyun who was following her, "Uncle cousin, look at who this is?" ”

Xiangyun also stepped forward at this time, and bowed respectfully, "Say hello to my uncle." ”

"This is ......" Chu Changfeng raised his eyes and glanced at Xiangyun, inexplicably feeling that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. took Xu Jiayi's delicate hand and walked into the house for a while, and then suddenly remembered, "I remember that she seems to be from your grandmother's room, and the old lady gave her to you?" Haven't you looked at her before? ”

After finishing speaking, I felt that something was wrong, Xu Jiayi's maids who married her all entered the Anping Marquis Mansion, and they all called their own sons and Mrs. Xu Jiayi on weekdays. How does this Xiangyun call "uncle" and "aunt"?

Xu Jiayi was stunned for a moment before she realized the meaning of Chu Changfeng's words, and couldn't help pursing her lips and snickering, "No, Xiangyun just came to the Anping Marquis Mansion today." ”

Hearing this, Chu Changfeng understood that this Xiangyun was the maid of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, and this time she was specially rushed from Yanjing City, and she would go back in a few days.

"I only thought that my grandmother would write back, but I didn't think that I actually sent Xiangyun over. You don't know, in the past few months since I've been away, a lot of things have happened in the house......"

Chu Changfeng listened to Xu Jiayi's endless chatter in his ear, but he didn't have the slightest impatience or unhappiness, but listened carefully with a smile, echoing or asking a few questions from time to time, so as not to make Xu Jiayi boring alone. With Chu Changfeng's listening, Xu Jiayi became more and more energetic the more she spoke,

Chu Changfeng didn't interrupt her, but just handed over a glass of water at the right time when she said that her mouth was dry, and asked her to moisten her throat before continuing. Somehow when it came to food, Xu Jiayi said with a bitter face, "Although the chef in the kitchen makes it according to the taste of the capital, I always feel that the taste is a little worse, not that taste." I didn't expect it to be so difficult to eat the previous meals after leaving Yanjing City......"

"There are also sweet and sour carp, Sixi duck, chestnut roast chicken, barbecued pork buns, lotus pod tofu, black bean sauce abalone, ......" Xu Jiayi counted the dishes she liked to eat one by one, and her gluttonous saliva was about to fall, and Xiangyun and Xiangqiao on the side were quite entangled, and she couldn't wait to go up and remind Xu Jiayi to pay attention to her image.

But Xu Jiayi didn't know anything about herself, but she became more and more happy, and her eyes lit up in the end, "Oh, by the way, there is also jujube cake." Although Xiangqiao can also make it, it always feels that it is not as delicious as Mama Su's cooking. There is also a cold rabbit made by Mama Zhao, which is numb and spicy, but delicious. It's a pity that this thing can't be put away for a long time, otherwise Xiangyun will be able to bring some over to Changzhou this time. ”

Xu Jiayi sighed secretly, as if she was quite sorry.

"Auntie, before the slave maid went out, several grandmothers in the house specially taught the slave maid to do this, the slave maid is stupid, although it is not as delicious as the one made by a few grandmothers, but it is always a little Beijing-flavored. If you like to eat, auntie, the slave and maid will make it for you at night. ”

Xu Jiayi's eyes lit up, and after a while, they dimmed again, and waved her hand, "You must be tired when you arrive today, so let's rest first." Cuiyun, you take Xiangyun to settle down first. ”
