Chapter 44: The Aftermath
Du Yan tore up the note in her hand and threw the pieces into the wind. She didn't want to reply to him, so she ate the pastry by herself, and after eating for a while, she didn't see the little pigeon fly away, could it be that she was waiting for her to reply? Du Yan tried to drive away the little white pigeon, and found that the little thing just jumped to the side, but did not leave. It seems that she really guessed correctly, Du Yan couldn't, so she had to go into the house and write a reply to Xiao Yechen.
This time the little pigeon carried the letter with it, and in an instant it flew away with its wings.
Du Yan stood in the middle of the courtyard and patted the pastry residues on her hands, turned around and informed Xiao Lu before going to the main courtyard, which is the courtyard where Du Chuanlin lives.
Before she walked to the Jade Dry Courtyard, she already felt how busy her father was now, there were constantly people coming in and out of the Jade Dry Courtyard, and the old housekeeper was even more busy.
Du Yan was just about to enter the house with her front foot, but her back foot was pulled by the housekeeper.
"Miss, the master is busy now, and I'm afraid you won't be able to get good fruit when you go in now." Dufu's housekeeper's surname is Su Dan's name, he has been a poor man in Dufu for decades, Du Yan can be said to have grown up under his watch, and he usually spoils Du Yan a lot.
Du Yan patted Steward Su's hand and looked at him soothingly.
"My father called me, you don't have to worry." Du Yan said this, and Su Zhi couldn't stop it anymore. I had to let her in.
Du Yan stepped over the threshold and bowed to Du Chuanlin, who was frowning, and she shouted.
"Daddy."
As soon as Du Chuanlin turned around, he saw Du Yan standing at the door dressed in black, and Du Chuanlin beckoned her to come in. Du Yan came in, closed the door behind her casually, and walked in front of Du Chuanlin in a few steps.
"Yan'er, the house is busy now, and my father urgently needs you to do a few things on my father's behalf."
"Dad said that my daughter will do her best to do it."
Du Chuanlin looked at his sensible and calm eldest daughter and nodded with deep satisfaction.
"First, Dad wants you to go to the Yeming Mansion in the east of the city to deliver the letter, and directly deliver the letter to the hands of the third prince, and he will tell you what to do after reading the letter. Don't ask for the rest. ”
"Second, when you come back from Yeming Mansion, buy some osmanthus cakes in the shop..., eh, your sister likes to eat, buy more for her."
"Third, it's not too late to wait for you to come back, Dad wants you to be in charge of the account room, make a careful inventory of the goods in and out of the house, and recently have to take care of your Aunt He's funeral, the account room is already in chaos, Dad is old, so I can only ask you for help."
Du Chuanlin said, looking up at Du Yan's reaction, and wondered if he had put pressure on Du Yan.
Du Chuanlin was about to say more, but his daughter had already made a big salute to him, and Du Yan's expression was firm.
"Rest assured, the father will definitely take care of the matter."
Du Chuanlin smiled with relief, it seemed that he had underestimated his daughter.
"Then you go, remember not to come back too late."
Du Yan arched her hand and said, "Yes." ”
Du Chuanlin was really good to Du Yan, and when Du Yan packed up and was about to go out, he had already seen the carriage at the door. Du Yan walked to the door, and the driver of the carriage immediately came to say hello to her.
"It's the eldest lady of the Du family, the villain's name is Cheng Wu, please get in the car." After the coachman introduced himself, he immediately prepared a small stool for Du Yan to get into the carriage, and when she got into the carriage, the carriage kicked away in dust.
At this time, it was almost dark, and the street vendors were also ready for the start of the night market.
It's a shame that she is young and has good physical strength, otherwise if someone else tosses like this, I'm afraid everyone will fall apart.
Yeming Mansion ......, Yeming Mansion she has never been to, that is, she has been to a street in front of it, the street is very lively, even more so when it comes to the New Year's holidays, Du Yan likes to shop, so every time she has the opportunity to come out to play, she will come here to play, without him, there are many kinds of things here, she likes to see.
Speaking of which, this is the first time she has gone to Xiao Yechen's mansion, and she doesn't know what kind of place the three princes live in, the carriage swayed, directly shaking Du Yan's thoughts, plus the sky was getting darker, Du Yan yawned one after another, and the coachman in front couldn't stand it.
"Miss, it's coming soon, you can hold on a little longer."
Du Yan dozed off in the carriage and said yes, she was so sleepy, she really wanted to go home. Fortunately, the coachman was talking, and within a while the carriage arrived.
"Miss, it's already here." Cheng Wu shouted at Du Yan and got out of the car to put a small stool for Du Yan.
Du Yan walked down a little unsteadily, and then looked up at this huge red gate, Yeming Mansion really lived up to its reputation, if this gate was demolished, there would be tens of thousands of arrows.
"Cheng Wu, you just wait for me around here, I'll come out later." After Du Yan finished speaking, she took off her clothes and walked to the magnificent gate, she raised her hand and pulled the copper ring and knocked it several times.
After a while, there was a sound of opening the door, and a familiar little brother opened the door a crack, and smiled when he saw Du Yan.
"Miss Du, you're finally here." Leng Yan happily got out of the way and welcomed Du Yan in.
As soon as Du Yan entered Yeming Mansion, Leng Yan began to introduce her, what is the place where his son-in-law reads, where he drinks tea, and what is the place to draw formations, in short, he just said a lot, all kinds of introductions to Yeming Mansion.
Anyway, Du Yan didn't listen to a few words, after all, she has been running around for a day, and no matter how energetic a person is, she can't hold on. Du Yan turned left and right with Leng Yan, tirelessly, how big is this broken place like a deep palace, where is Xiao Yechen, why don't you talk to her directly at the door, Du Yan decided to ask him when she saw him in a while.
After turning a few more corners and passing through a long corridor, Du Yan saw Xiao Yechen in a lotus flower.
Xiao Yechen was wearing a coat embroidered with mountains and rivers, a plain white dress inside, and a silky hair was scattered on his body, which was originally a sad face, but when he saw Du Yan, he instantly turned into a smiling face, Xiao Yechen turned his head sideways and smiled softly at Du Yan, and then sprinkled the fish food in his hand.
Leng Yu stood speechlessly behind Xiao Yechen.
"You're here, is there a bump in the carriage?" Xiao Yechen asked Du Yan very earnestly, but Du Yan didn't have so much patience to deal with him, she also smiled at Xiao Yechen, and then talked to Xiao Yechen expressionlessly.
"Your Royal Highness, Du Yan came to deliver the letter on the order of the prime minister." After Du Yan said that, she stretched out a snow-white palm to Xiao Yechen.
Xiao Yechen was stunned, he looked down at Du Yan's palm and blinked, then tilted his head, and looked at Du Yan at a loss.
Du Yan also looked at Xiao Yechen a little overwhelmed, she felt that her father would not be so boring, so she stared at Xiao Yechen's face again, and finally Du Yan, who couldn't hold back, spoke.
