Chapter 12: Homecoming
"The master has returned home, and the three young masters have returned home." A shout of the little guy in front of the door, so that the Tianbo Mansion that is about to return to the quiet suddenly became lively, at this time it was nearly dusk, everyone lived in the work in hand, all rested in the room, waiting for the girls to summon dinner, from the door to this shout, but it led to the front yard and backyard, the side room of the main hall, the door knocker moved, the little guys were busy adding a few red lights, swept the main hall, She Saihua took two young daughters and several daughters-in-law, welcomed to the hall.
Yang Ye reported to Daizhou, and he had to rest for a few days a month, and he always had to go back to Beijing to see the homework and martial arts of his sons, plus he missed his wife and young daughter, but every time he was in a hurry, he didn't dare to delay.
Qilang and Hachiro were the first to greet the door, and Liulang and several people also followed closely, and saw from a distance that his father was wearing an ink-colored regular robe, embroidered with a light cyan cloud-like pattern, and a light robe on the crook of his arm.
"Father has worked hard all the way, and mother is waiting for you in the main hall!" Shiro Yanhui stepped forward to take the robe and said with a smile.
Yang Ye responded, and then said to Liulang Qilang, "How are you two doing your homework?" Didn't cause trouble! Hachiro's martial arts can be refined. ”
"Father, my son is reading books every day, how can I have any time to cause trouble!" Shichiro laughed playfully.
Liulang also said, "My son obeys his father's teachings, how dare he make mistakes, the eighth brother is also diligent every day, and his homework and martial arts have improved." ”
"Hmm," Yang Ye replied in a muffled voice, "That's good, check the homework of the three of you tomorrow." ”
"Yes" The three of them responded to the voice, sideways to get out of the way, let Yang Ye take the first step, at this time the three brothers standing behind Yang Ye laughed, San Langyan was naked in a soap-colored robe, with clear eyebrows and low timbre, and he always liked to joke with his younger brothers, so he joked at first, "Look at the look you are afraid of, it's not the time to play majestic in front of us on weekdays." ”
"The third brother still laughed at us, as if you weren't afraid." Shichiro replied unconvinced.
"Father said to check our homework tomorrow, seventh brother, have you finished reviewing the article left by my husband? and is in the mood to fight with the third brother. Liulang seemed to inadvertently pour a basin of cold water, Qilang was embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "I'm going to kneel in the ancestral hall again." ”
After saying this, the brothers laughed, Dalang Yanping stepped forward and patted Qilang's head, and said with a smile, "There are eight brothers in our family, the third brother is outstanding, the fourth brother is known as a Confucian general, the sixth brother is also the pursuit of elegance, although the eighth brother is small, but he can also export chapters, and a few of us have never hated reading, how did we get to the seventh brother, it is so difficult." ”
"Little brother is not the kind of person who can sit down and read, so you might as well let me fight! If it weren't for my father's compulsion, I wouldn't even have gone to school. Shichiro bowed his head and said angrily.
Erlang Yanding hurriedly persuaded, "Don't be hard-mouthed, beware that my father will hear it and scold you again." ”
"Okay, my father is almost in the main hall, let's go quickly!" Da Lang urged, and the brothers responded one by one, the so-called eldest brother is like a father, and several sons of the Yang family have always respected this calm and serious brother, especially Liulang and his two younger brothers, not to mention the difference of more than ten years, just every time they make a mistake, they always have to rely on the eldest brother and the second brother to protect this matter, which is enough for them to be "grateful to Dade".
Walking to the main hall, Yang Ye had already been entangled by his two daughters, holding one hand in front of his arms, She Saihua approached her side, looked at her husband with a smile, "I said that I will only return tomorrow, how can I come back so early, and I didn't order someone to go back to the house in advance, which made us scramble." ”
"The road went fast, and I didn't delay much, I just entered the palace and resumed the holy order, and I immediately went back to the house, I was going back to my own home, what preparations should I make." Yang Ye laughed, and sat on the seat with his two daughters in his arms with a loving face, and several ladies also stepped forward to help their husbands take their coats and sit down according to their elders.
She Saihua stretched out her hand to take the slightly older eighth sister Yanqi next, sat down next to Yang Ye, and saw Dalang's wife Zhang Qiuqing come forward and bow to Yingying, and said, "Father has worked hard all the way, and my daughter-in-law went to tell the kitchen to add a few meals." ”
"Yes! Your father and son have worked really hard all the way, the kitchen has prepared a meal, let the eldest daughter-in-law go to advise, plus a few braised pork and soup dishes, eat simply, and then take care of the wind for you tomorrow. ”
"Madame doesn't have to think about it, how can people in the military pay attention to it." Yang Ye said, the girls had already served tea, and the ninth sister Yanying struggled to get out of her father's arms, pulling Li Qiuqing and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you." ”
"Little girl, you're gluttonous again, you want to steal it!" No matter how far away Shichiro is, he always has to make fun of his sister, although every time he provokes him, he will displease his father, so as not to complain, but he still enjoys it, anyway, there is nothing to do, it is something that a few sugar people can't solve.
Today, when he felt Yang Ye's reproachful gaze, he was silent, Li Qiuqing had already walked out with the ninth sister Yanying, Yang Ye drank a cup of tea, and his eyes fell on Liulang, from entering the door to now, he didn't say a word, Yang Ye wondered in his heart, put down the teacup and asked, "Liulang, why don't you speak!" ”
Yang Yanzhao has been absent-minded since he came back from the Horse Mansion, nothing more than Gao Qiong told him before the banquet that the official family chose a son-in-law for Chai Xiyun, which made him a little at a loss, and he didn't ask when he said goodbye to Chai Xiyun, so he was a little dull when he returned to the house, and he didn't even ask Qilang why, and thought he was worried about the matter.
It wasn't until Yang Ye brought the words to himself that Liulang came back to his senses and replied, "Maybe I'm tired and a little distracted in the past two days." ”
"Look at the low interest, tomorrow I will go to the horse race with my father, and I will only take you alone."
"Yes" Liulang answered, and Shiro over there whispered to a few brothers about King Chen's recommendation of Liulang to join the office, and She Saihua thought about mentioning it to Yang Ye later, and he would persuade him a few words, so as not to punish Liulang.
Chai Xiyun returned to the Nanqing Palace, Qing Xuan and Zipei saw that Lingyu seemed to be angry, Qing Xuan made a basin of clean water, threw a silk scarf, lightly held the master's soft wattle, took off the ring and jade chuan, wiped it carefully, and said, "Slave maid, look, Lingyu's girl seems to be unhappy, does the county lord know why?" ”
"What? She's still angry! Chai Xiyun leaned over slightly, "It's not a big deal, but I mentioned a sentence today that the female university was not staying, and she was annoyed with me." ”
Qing Xuan lowered her head and chuckled, "This girl has a good temper, and she plays a little bit at every turn." ”
"As long as this palace raises Qiong, she is extremely sensitive, but she is too deliberate."
Qing Xuan turned around and took the pear flower paste, Chai Xiyun tapped it with his fingertips, wiped it on his hand, Qing Xuan replied, "Lingyu has affection for the little marquis, we can all understand it, but I don't know the little marquis's thoughts." ”
"My brother has been widowed for many years, and the son under his knee has always been taken care of by his aunt, and over the years, there have been many matchmakers who want to continue for him, but the brother of the Gao family has a deep love for his wife, and has always shirked it, plus Lingyu has a humble background, even if I raised my identity with her, I always can't enter the Hou Mansion as a wife, if I am a concubine, I feel wronged Lingyu, so I have been testing her for a long time, and I have never said it clearly, but I see what she means today, but I am really emotional."
"The slaves and maids are slaves, never ask for the same eyebrows as others, they just want to serve the county lord all their lives, if Lingyu gets grace, it is also a blessing to be able to serve the little marquis, although it is a concubine, if the marquis is sincere, it is not a grievance."
"Having said that, I always hope that you can be with your husband, even if you are not a wealthy family, as long as the husband and wife are harmonious, you will also live happily for a lifetime" Chai Xiyun helped Qing Xuan up, "You fight with me, of course I will not treat you lightly." ”
"Qing Xuan doesn't marry, Qing Xuan will follow the county lord for the rest of her life, as long as you don't bother me." Qing Xuan raised her eyes and looked at Chai Xiyun's smiling cheeks.
"You haven't met a confidant now, so you said that you want to accompany this palace for the rest of your life, and when that person appears, I think you are still stubborn." Chai Xiyun raised his hand and nodded her forehead, Qing Xuan raised her head, and asked rhetorically, "The county lord and the slave maid, have you met a confidant!" ”
"Bengong is natural..."Chai Xiyun was about to explain, but she sensed the provocation in her words, and complained, "It's not just Lingyu who is bold, you are also not small, dare to make fun of Bengong." ”
"The slave and maid make a bet with you, and bet that your confidant is right in front of you."
"This palace doesn't bet on you." Chai Xiyun picked up a handkerchief to cover his face, turned around and lay on the couch, and said coquettishly, "I've walked a lot today, my legs are a little sore, you call Zipei to come in and rub it for me." ”
Qing Xuan saw that she was squeamish, so she had to soften her heart and coax, and hurriedly asked the little girls to summon Zipei to come, and half-leaned over and persuaded, "The slave maid will give you a softer cushion, so you will panic." ”
Chai Xiyun was helped up by her and a few little maids, and lay down again with a soft cushion, Zipei also approached at this time, and complained in his mouth, "I have long advised you not to go to Chen Wangfu in person, I have been in a carriage for a day today, and I have been walking around the garden for so long, can I not feel sour!" ”
"You! is also more and more nagging with Qing Xuan. Chai Xiyun threw a piece of silk silk at her, the two of them hid their faces and chuckled, Zipei knelt in front of the couch, and said softly, "The slave is also thinking about you, Lingyu prepares fragrant apricot honeydew for the county lord in the small kitchen, you drink a bowl in a while, sleep early, and the king of Han will come to the house tomorrow, and you will also work hard!" ”
"Brother Seven Kings is coming tomorrow?" Chai Xiyun asked with flashing eyes.
"Exactly! said that he was here to discuss with our prince. ”
"As soon as he comes, he has to come and rob me of a few good things, Qing Xuan, you quickly hide the inkstone that my uncle rewarded me."
"Okay, my master, as soon as the slave and maid knew that King Han was coming, they had already hid it, you and King Han have urinated like this since childhood, and you still have to hide things now." Qing Xuan quipped.
Chai Xiyun lay down again, and then ordered, "Lingyu has liked my tired silk bead hairpin for a long time, and she will give it to her when she comes in a while!" The main palace will rest for a while. ”
Qing Xuan and Zipei looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time responded.
