Yue Yang finally returned to Shanxi, this time he returned to Shanxi with a large team of people and the princess.

In the middle of December, Yueyang and his entourage finally arrived in Hunyuan Prefecture and saw their relatives who had been absent for nearly a year, and when Yue Yang returned to Hunyuan Prefecture, all the officials of Hunyuan Prefecture went out of the city for ten miles to greet him, and even the old lady who was nearly seventy years old also came out. Of course, the old lady went out of the city not to greet her grandson, but to welcome her daughter-in-law who came back with her grandson, after all, although Zhu Yujiao nominally married to the Yue family, her identity as a princess can not be ignored.

When the long procession came to the outside of the city, Yue Yang hurriedly dismounted and supported the old lady standing in the front, and then Zhu Yujiao, who was sitting in the sedan chair, also hurriedly got off the sedan chair and saluted the old lady, calling her grandma.

"Huh...... Her Royal Highness the princess is like this, but you are a golden branch and jade leaf, but you give a salute to the old body, this is not to break the old body's longevity. Although the old lady had never seen anything big in her life, she had read for a few years when she was young, so she naturally didn't dare to accept the princess's salute to herself, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support the princess.

Zhu Yujiao didn't pay attention to it, and still respectfully saluted the old lady before she lightly opened her lips and said: "Old lady, what did you say, since the father and the queen mother let Yu Jiao marry into the Yue family, then Yu Jiao will be a member of the Yue family in the future, that is, your granddaughter-in-law, isn't it natural for the granddaughter-in-law to give a salute to grandma, you can naturally bear this reason!" ”

In the face of Zhu Yujiao's insistence, the old lady had no choice but to bear Zhu Yujiao's gift, and everyone nodded secretly in this situation, but the Chinese people have a tradition of respecting the old and loving the young since ancient times, and the old lady can fully bear this worship in terms of age, after all, in the customs of the feudal dynasty, as long as the old man is over seventy or eighty years old, let alone the princess, he doesn't have to bow down when he sees the emperor.

At this time, Zhu Yujiao did not have the innocence and gentleness in front of Yue Yang before, but became down-to-earth and generous. Although she is not very old, she has an indescribable grace and elegance in both speech and deeds, which makes everyone look awe-inspired, and it seems that the royal family naturally has his own set of methods in the education of children.

After giving the old lady a salute, Zhu Yujiao walked up to Hai Lanzhu who was following the old lady and said to her a thousand blessings and called her sister, Hai Lanzhu is not an old lady, but she didn't dare to bear Zhu Yuanjiao's gift, so she quickly turned sideways and dodged before bowing to Zhu Yujiao, and then the two of them held hands and talked, and the two sisters and sisters talked.

Hai Lanzhu has helped Yue Yang manage Shanxi's affairs in the past few years, and he has two intelligence departments in his hands, both the Sichuan Division and the Shan Division, and his ability and vision have long been tempered. Although Zhu Yujiao is a princess, Hai Lanzhu really doesn't scare her much, and the two chatted quite well for a while.

On the other side, a group of subordinates also came to see Yueyang, although Yueyang has been busy in Shandong this year, but his control over Shanxi has not weakened in the slightest but has become heavier, after all, Shanxi is his lair, whether it is the governor, the governor's position or the army are under his control, and although others are gone, most of the following positions are still in the hands of his henchmen, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Yueyang is the emperor of Shanxi.

The group swept into Hunyuan City, and Zhu Yujiao, who came to Hunyuan Prefecture for the first time, looked at the roads on the street and the surrounding houses with a look of curiosity and surprise. After more than a year of construction and a large number of applications of cement. Hunyuan City has undergone a lot of changes, many people in the city have built new houses with cement, and almost all the roads in the city are covered by cement roads, coupled with the gradual improvement of sewer facilities. Gone are the days when it rains and the roads are so muddy that it's almost impossible to get around.

After the group entered Yueyang's Hou Mansion, everyone who came to greet them disappeared automatically with great interest, although many people had a lot to say to Yueyang, but everyone knew that Yue Yang had just returned home. At this time, it must be left to his family, and naturally there will not be any mallet that is not interesting at this time.

In the evening of the same day, a family banquet was held in the mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, and Yueyang's family members all participated. Even the subordinates in the Hou Mansion did not pull it down, Yue Yang also gave a reward of two silver dollars to each of the subordinates of the Hou Mansion, and the reward money of those stewards was even more overturned, and after the reward was sent, the entire Hou Mansion was full of joy and thunder. Yue Yang also called Cao Youqian, the chief butler of the Hou Mansion, over to encourage him a few words, which made Cao Youqian, who had not seen Yue Yang for a long time, even more excited.

After dinner, Yue Yang accompanied his grandmother, sister Yue Ying, Hai Lanzhu, Linglong sisters and three children to play family together, Yue Yao, the eldest son Yue Yao, who had not seen Yueyang for a year, was already two years old, and the eldest daughter and second son were also more than a year old.

Looking at Yue Yang and a few children who were having fun, the old lady said happily: "It would be nice if our family could be like this every day, and when we are old, we don't want to be rich and rich, just hope that the family can live a peaceful life." and find a good in-law for Ying'er, and the old body will have no regrets. ”

Hearing this, Yue Yang couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, and said to the old lady: "Grandma, my grandson has been running around all these years, and I don't have time to pay attention to Ying'er's lifelong events, I don't know if we have any young and handsome people here who are suitable for Ying'er?" ”

The old lady was a little unhappy when she heard this, and glared at Yue Yang: "The so-called eldest brother is like a father, your parents died early, you are Ying'er's eldest brother, you don't care about it, but you come to ask me, the old woman who stays in the house all day, and the old body has already told you, but you don't take it to heart, do you still look like a big brother?" ”

"I ......"

In the face of the old lady's accusation, Yue Yang really didn't have anything to say about it, he really blamed him, the old lady mentioned it to him as early as last year, but he forgot about it.

It was rare to see Yue Yang deflated, Hai Lanzhu and the Linglong sisters just smiled and sat with their children in their arms and watched the jokes, without the slightest intention of relieving him. In desperation, Yue Yang had no choice but to say to his sister-in-law: "Ying'er, then you sue Brother Sù, what kind of man do you like, Big Brother, I'll help you find it!" ”

Although all the people sitting here were from their own family, Yue Ying was still too ashamed to talk about this kind of thing in front of so many people, and the whole person hid behind her grandmother with a red face and didn't speak, and she was forced to say a sentence when she was in a hurry: "How do people know." ”

"Hey...... Isn't that the same as not saying it? He rolled his eyes speechlessly, and peeked at the old lady who was staring at him. Yue Yang felt that if he didn't want to come up with a way tonight, the old lady would not let go of herself, and for a while, she felt that her head was as big as a fight.

At this time, Zhu Yujiao, who had been sitting on the side and had been silent, spoke, "Grandma, Xianggong, if you think it is difficult to find in Hunyuan City, it is better to let the concubine sue the father and let the father designate one for Ying'er's sister in the capital." ”

"No way!" Yue Yang refused viciously without even thinking about it, "You don't know what kind of virtues those nobles in the capital are, these people are all good at eating, drinking and having fun, but they can't do business, how can Ying'er marry these people!" ”

Zhu Yujiao was also silent. What are the virtues of those nobles in the capital, although she lives in the palace, she also knows very well, these people drink tea all day long, walk birds, and flirt with women from good families, but they just can't do business, let alone Yueyang, even she can't look down on these children.

After thinking about it, she said with some regret: "Actually, it would be nice if the concubine's younger brother Cijiong was a few years older, and it would not be a good thing to marry Ying'er's sister to Cijiong." ”

The old lady's heart was also moved after hearing this, Zhu Yujiao's younger brother Zhu Cijiong is the crown prince, if she marries him and becomes the crown princess, she will be the queen of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and the Yue family will become a relative of the emperor. In this way, everyone is happy.

It's just that the old lady was not happy for long before she was poured a scoop of cold water on Yue Yang, "It's better to save this matter, it's not that you don't know the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, and the queen of the Ming Dynasty can only be selected from the good daughters of the common people or low-level officials." Female dependents above the fourth rank cannot be sent to the palace as concubines and queens. If your father dares to do this, those ministers must not make a fuss! ”

"Alas......"

After saying this, Yue Yang made a little sad face, this Ying'er's marriage is really high or low. At this time, it is not like the later generations to pay attention to free love, and don't say anything about finding a family to marry casually. In China, the bigger the family, the more important it is, according to the current identity and status of Yueyang, there are really not many people in the entire Ming Dynasty who can be worthy of Yue Ying, and what's worse is that Yueyang is not familiar with these people. Over the years, which of the things this guy has done is not hated, and the people in the entire capital have offended him by saying that he has offended most of them, and now it has become a big problem to find a mother-in-law for his sister.

Just when Yue Yang was frowning, Yue Ying, who was hiding behind the old lady, spoke timidly with a red face: "Grandma, eldest brother, if you are really embarrassed, Ying'er will not marry, Ying'er will accompany grandma and eldest brother for the rest of her life!" ”

"What are these words?" The old lady was furious, "Our family was also a family with a head and face in Yingzhou before your eldest brother made a career, and no one knows which one doesn't know when it comes to Wulizhai Yuejiazhuang, and now your eldest brother has become the governor and governor, but he can't even marry his own sister, isn't this a big joke?" No way...... Zhenghong, you must find a wishful husband for Ying'er today, otherwise you won't sleep tonight! ”

"I ...... I'm not wronged, how can this matter be relied on me! "Yue Yang only feels that he is more wronged than Dou E, my sister can't find her mother-in-law, why are you angry at me, but he can't complain yet, who made him Yue Ying's eldest brother, this year's eldest brother is like a father, this sentence is not just talking, according to today's customs and habits, as long as Yue Yang, the elder brother, makes a decision, she can only marry whoever she wants to marry Yue Ying.

Frowning and thinking for a long time, Yue Yang said to Yue Ying, who was hiding behind the old lady: "Ying'er, you sue Brother Sù, what kind of person do you want to marry, you say it, Brother will make the decision for you!" ”

Yue Ying was a shy person, and after hearing her eldest brother's question, it took a while before she said in a voice as thin as a mosquito and a fly: "I...... I don't know, but I think it's good to marry a general who wants to be as powerful as my eldest brother. ”

"Hmm...... Married to a soldier? Yue Yang was stunned for a moment, he never thought that this girl of his family would want to marry a soldier, what the hell is going on? Could it be that the girl has a good impression of being a soldier because she admires herself too much?

In fact, not only Yueyang, but even the old lady and the Zhu Yujiao and Linglong sisters on the side were also taken aback, these years pay attention to good men who are not soldiers, good iron and not nails, and the social status of soldiers is very low (of course, it is an exception in Shanxi). But now Yue Ying actually said that she wanted to marry a soldier, and even Yuling, who has always been docile, was a little anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Ying'er, not everyone who is a soldier is as knowledgeable and gentle as the young master, and most of those who are soldiers are vulgar and rude. Where is worthy of my Ying'er! ”

"Yes, Miss, my sister is right, you are the daughter of our Yue family, how can you marry a soldier, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it!" Yulong on the side was also anxious, she grew up in Yuejiazhuang since she was a child, she can be said to have grown up with Yue Ying since she was a child, and she has long regarded her as her sister, and she immediately said what was in her heart with her straightforward heart.

"What are you talking about, I am also a soldier, why did you marry me?" Hearing this, Yue Yang was not happy. Glaring at Yulong, the latter realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately stuck out his little tongue and stopped talking.

It's just that Yulong didn't speak, but Hai Lanzhu spoke, "Ying'er, tell your sister-in-law the truth, do you have a crush on someone, who is he?" ”

As soon as Hai Lanzhu said this, everyone suddenly noticed, right...... According to Yue Ying's gentle temperament, how could she say such a thing as marrying a general for no reason, there must be a reason for this. Don't......

Thinking of this, Yue Yang couldn't help but gasp, and his heart was also unhappy, but he still said lightly: "Ying'er." You tell your eldest brother, who do you have a crush on? Sue sù big brother! ”

At this time, everyone's eyes looked at Yue Ying, but they looked at her like a red glow. Yue Ying's temperament was originally gentle, but now she is even more shy when everyone looks at her like this. For a while, he just lowered his head and let everyone ask him, but he didn't say anything.

"Hey...... You damn girl! ”

Yue Yang stared anxiously and was about to ask Yue Ying again, but was stopped by Hai Lanzhu, only to see her smile and walk up to Yue Ying's side and ask her gently, "Ying'er is good...... Don't be afraid. Sue sister-in-law, who do you fancie, sister-in-law is in charge of you! ”

Over the years, Hai Lanzhu has been very capable, and her status in the Yue family has become higher and higher, Yue Ying is willing to tell her what is on her mind, and now seeing Hai Lanzhu ask herself like this, she was stunned for a while, and then she blushed and said a few words in Hai Lanzhu's ear. Hai Lanzhu's face also changed a few times after hearing this, and finally said with a smile: "There is such a thing, I didn't expect that kid to have this ability, it seems that I really underestimated him!" ”

Yue Yang was confused when he heard this, and immediately asked: "Which kid is so bold as to dare to seduce my sister-in-law, you sue me!" ”

Hai Lanzhu glanced at her husband angrily, "You are still a big brother, you don't even know what is going on with your sister, it's not who seduced our family Ying'er, but Ying'er herself fell in love with someone, you don't want to wronged him!" Ying'er is afraid that you will be angry with others, so she has never dared to tell you. ”

When Yue Yang heard it, he was happy, "Hey...... Who is so capable that he can still make our family Ying'er like him, you say, I won't be angry with him. ”

Hai Lanzhu smiled slightly, her cherry lips opened lightly and gently spit out a person's name, hearing that it was not only Yue Yang, but even everyone was stunned, it was him!

"What, it's this kid!"

Yue Yang was also stunned when he heard it, he didn't expect his baby sister to fall in love with this guy, it turned out that this guy was none other than Wu Chengfeng, one of Yue Yang's henchmen.

Yue Yang was stunned for a while before he said: "Ying'er, how did you fall in love with this guy, what is so good about this guy, you have taken a fancy to him!" ”

Under Yue Yang's questioning, Yue Yang and everyone knew that just over a year ago, Yue Ying took a few maids to the Dajue Temple outside the city to incense, and on the way back, he met a group of homeless people to rob him, because Yue Ying only brought a few homeless people and maids around him, and he was about to fall into the hands of this group of homeless people, and happened to be met by Wu Chengfeng, who was about to go back to Hunyuan Prefecture to do business, and saved her and sent her back to the city, so Yue Ying secretly liked this guy.

After listening to Yue Ying's words, Yue Yang was so depressed that he just wanted to look up to the sky and howl, thief, can you still be a little more bloody? What age are you still playing the game of heroes saving beauty.

Depressed, Yue Yang asked again, "Ying'er, does that kid know your identity?" ”

Yue Ying nodded and said in a low voice: "I know, I also told him my identity at that time, and he also sent us back to the mansion." ”

Hearing this, Yue Yang was even more depressed, "Then why did you never sue me?" ”

"What are you doing? You say this about your own sister, Ying'er wants to tell you, but have you been at home for more than a month in recent years? What does she tell you? Hearing this, the old lady was not happy, and glared at her grandson and scolded.

The old lady scolded like this, and Yue Yang was also dumbfounded. He sighed and said, "Ying'er, do you really like this kid?" ”

"Hmm!" Although Yue Ying was already too ashamed at this time, she still nodded lightly.

"This bastard!"

In stark contrast to Yue Ying's shyness, Yue Yang's heart was blocked with an indescribable nameless fire, which is estimated to be the love that all the brothers in the world will rise to when they learn that their precious sister has a crush on someone else.

"This time we must clean up this guy!" Yue Yang secretly swore in his heart! (To be continued......)
