Chapter 435: Returning Home
The inner attendant came to announce the holy decree to Xuan Xuan, and it was actually Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch who came to write, which surprised everyone.
Gonggong Li smiled again and asked, "May I ask Marquis Wen, the name of the second son?" β
Wen Zhuoan clenched his fists and smiled, "Wen Mingzhao." β
When Gonggong Li heard this, he asked people to study the ink, and directly filled in the words "Wen Mingzhao" on the holy decree.
An incense case had already been placed in Hexuan's courtyard, except for Qin Hongyu and Xu Lanyin, all the masters came to kneel down and listen to the order, including Wen Mingxi. The nurse holding Wen Mingzhao and Wen Mingzhu knelt in the west wing hall, the door of the west wing was wide open, and the cotton curtains were all rolled up.
The inner attendant sang, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: My sister Liu Ying, gentle and virtuous, but ill-fated......" said a bunch of nostalgic words for the eldest princess Liu Ying, and finally named his eldest grandson Wen Mingxi and second grandson Wen Mingzhao as the general of the Zhuguo, and the eldest granddaughter Liu Mingzhu as the lord of Zhangzhu.
It turned out that the emperor didn't know what the name of the second grandson was, and he wanted to make the queen mother happy and hurriedly made a holy decree. I had to ask Gonggong Li to announce the decree, and by the way, write the name of the newborn boy.
These three titles are undoubtedly out of bounds again. The prince's grandson is a general of the Pillar Kingdom, and his daughter is the lord of the county. Everyone speculated that it must be that the Queen Mother liked Liu Mingzhu too much, and the emperor gave her the title, so it was not good not to give it to the two boys, and the two children were purely borrowed.
This is the glory of the Wen Mansion.
Wen Zhuoan and Wen Zhuofeng suppressed their ecstasy and kowtowed in thanks. After that, he thanked Gonggong Li and secretly stuffed him with a thousand taels of silver tickets.
Empress Dowager Pu was very satisfied with the emperor's approach, and she just wanted to give Wen Mingzhu the title of county lord.
She stayed in Hexuan for more than two quarters of an hour, hugged Wen Mingzhu for a while, and rewarded Xu Lanyin and the two children with many treasures before getting up and driving back to the palace.
On the day of the children's washing, almost all the nobles and wealthy families in the capital came to Wenfu to congratulate, and the third banquet was more lively than the first birthday banquet of other children.
However, there are still some courtiers who are dissatisfied with the emperor and the queen mother's move, and before the yamen has opened the seal, some people can't wait to enter the palace to fold their sons, saying that the emperor and the queen mother violated the ancestral system. The emperor deducted it and didn't send it, their mother and son were indeed favoritism, so what's the matter.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, all the scars on Xu Lanyue's face fell off, and the newly grown skin was still pink. The old doctor said that in another ten days and half a month, the new skin will be as white as other skins.
Seeing herself in the mirror, her face was no longer the long scar like a meat worm, her skin was as smooth and tender as a hard-boiled egg, and Xu Lanyue's eyes overflowed with tears.
She knelt down and kowtowed to Old Doctor Zhang, and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Zhang." So he ran to Xu Lanyin's house.
When Xu Lanyin saw Xu Lanyue, she held her little face and smiled, "Ah, my sister is so beautiful." β
Xu Lanyue threw herself into Xu Lanyin's arms and choked up, "Thank you, eldest sister." Others say that children who don't have their own mothers are pitiful, just like the eldest mother, as well as the eldest brother-in-law and Brother Wen. I don't have a mother, I don't have a family, but I have an eldest sister, and I live better than them. I know that even if my mother lives, my life will not be so easy. Thank you, big sister......"
Xu Lanyin ran her hair and smiled, "You are my sister, of course I have to love you." You are still young, and you have a long way to go. Keep your open-mindedness and optimism, and treat people who are good to you, you have to release kindness and treat people with sincerity......"
Xu Lanyue nodded and said, "Well, I know, I will, I will be as good as the eldest sister......"
Xu Lan asked her to pack up her things and send her back to Xu's house. Xiao Nizi has been living in Wen Mansion for nearly a month, and it is not good to keep her any longer.
On the twentieth day of the first month, the old doctor Zhang left Beijing, and before he left, Xu Lanyin knelt down and kowtowed to him three times to make up for the apprenticeship. Xu Lanyin was very reluctant, but Old Doctor Zhang said that he would take his apprentice to the Western Regions to collect medicine. When I go home in a few years, I will pass by the capital to see her again.
On the eighth day of the first month of February, it is advisable to move, and Wen Zhuoan, Marquis of Xiqing, wants to officially move to Xiqinghou Mansion with his daughter-in-law and children. Wen Zhuofeng and Qin Hongyu stayed hard, but Wen Zhuoan and Xu Lanyin still wanted to move to their homes earlier.
Their belongings were all moved, and today only people go. Today's dragon and phoenix fetuses have been more than a month, and they have grown very well, Wen Mingzhao is nine catties, and Wen Mingzhu is seven catties and two taels.
After breakfast, the brightly dressed couple and the three children who were held in their mother's arms went to Mrs. Wen's yard to kowtow to him and say goodbye, and then invited him to play at home.
The Dan furnace in the courtyard was burning brightly, and the old man only said, "I'm busy, I don't want to go anywhere." Remember, brothers work together, and their strength breaks gold. β
The old man's words became less and less, and he became more capricious.
Wen Zhuo'an replied, and said politely, "Then we will leave, and my grandson will often come to see you in the future." β
The old man said, "I don't have anything to look at, your brother should take care of your third uncle more." β
"Yes."
Wen Zhuoan bowed and left with his daughter-in-law and children.
Wen Zhuofeng and Wen Zhuozhong sent them to the gate and stopped, and the people of the Wen Mansion would go to the Xiqinghou Mansion as guests.
The two mansions are not far away, and they will arrive in more than two quarters of an hour.
When the carriage came to the gate, Wen Zhuoan dismounted and went to help Xu Lanyin out of the car.
Two majestic stone lions stand in front of the door, the vermilion door with big copper nails has been opened, and the four golden characters on the roof of the gatehouse - Xiqinghou Mansion, there are two rows of people standing outside the door who bow down to greet the master.
Wen Zhuoan grinned, his smile brighter than the sun in the sky. He took Xu Lanyin's hand and said, "Sister, this is our home, I will take you, my son, and my daughter home." β
Xu Lanyin smiled sweetly and said, "Let's go home together." β
The husband and wife walked through the door hand in hand, followed by three mothers holding their children.
Wen Zhuoan was afraid that the children would be cold, so he asked a few mothers to carry them back to the house first, and he and Xu Lanyin walked. Walk from the front yard to the second gate, and then walk to the main courtyard, all the way to the pavilions, green bamboo covers, long wicker pulls out new green.
The main courtyard has two cross-courtyards, Wen Mingxi lives in the east cross-hospital, and the dragon and phoenix live in the west cross-hospital. The husband and wife came directly to the second courtyard, which was the main house where they lived.
They went into the bedroom to change their clothes, and the three brothers and sisters were also brought to the room by their mother, and the Xu family arrived first.
Xu Lanting congratulated her sister and brother-in-law, and hurried over to see her niece and nephew. The little boy is ten years old, and he is tightly controlled by his father, so he can't come to the eldest sister's house as often as Xu Lanyue, and it is rare for him to feel like the New Year.
After a few words, Wen Zhuoan, Xu Qingyan and Xu Lanzhou were about to go to the outer courtyard to treat the male guests. Xu Lanting didn't want to leave yet, and was glared at by Xu Qingyan.
Xu Lanyin touched his corner and laughed in a low voice, "When the time comes, I will help you intercede, and leave you four gentlemen of Merlin to stay at my house for a night." β
Xu Lanting smiled and went to the front yard.
Not long after, the people from the Dongqinghou Mansion came, followed by the Nanyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, except for the Ma family, who just gave birth to a girl a few days ago, all the masters came. Then, the Min Mansion, the Li Mansion, the Zhou Mansion, the Four Princes, the Pingjun Palace, the Wei Palace, the Beiyang Princess's Mansion, and so on, the guests who didn't expect them all came.
Xiqinghou Mansion was lively for a day, and the guests left one after another at the end of Shen Shi, and the four gentlemen of Meiyuan also stayed here as they wished.
Wen Zhuoan came back from the front yard and said with a smile, "Are you tired?" If we're not tired, we'll go for a walk. β
Xu Lan smiled because I had this intention, "I also want to see our home again." β
Chai Zixiao, who had sharp ears, heard it and shouted, "We're going too." β
Wen Mingxi jumped and shouted, "Go, go, go......"
Xu Lanyue saw that her sister and brother-in-law wanted to be alone, and said with a smile, "It's so tired that the yard is full of people, let's go to Meilin and let the girl make a barbecue and cook soup about heroes." β
This proposal made Min Jia, Xu Lanting, and Chai Zixiao all interested, and beckoned their subordinates to prepare things.
Xu Lanyin and Wen Zhuoan didn't bring anyone, and the two walked hand in hand. Walk through the verandah, the corridor, the woods, the garden, the lake, the willow embankment, and finally come to the small stone bridge.
Looking at the rippling blue waves in the lake, the layers of cornices and corners, and the large sunset on the horizon, Xu Lanyin thought of the previous life again. I have a happy life in this life, but I don't know if my parents got out of the pain of losing their independence in their previous life.
She asked, "Zhuo'an, do you believe that people have a time through and are reborn?" Or, I dream of butterflies, butterflies dream of me? β
Wen Zhuo'an's big hand squeezed her small hand and said, "I only know that you are not a simple person, or my favorite sister, wife, because of the cause." β
Originally, Xu Lanyin wanted to talk about her past life, but after listening to Wen Zhuoan's words, she didn't say anything more. She is his sister, wife, cause, what else does she need to say? There are some things that they will be old in the future, so let's talk about them.
