Chapter 9: Marriage

Xie Yan talked with the eldest princess for a while, and after lunch, he took the girl back to his yard to pack up his things.

In the evening, Xie Yanhe took a car to the Jingping Marquis Mansion.

Looking at the red lacquered door on the steps, Xie Yanhe's bright eyes couldn't help but roll down tears.

The Xie family can have today, because his father exchanged his life for wealth. But as her father's only daughter, she was about to be abandoned by the Xie family.

Xie Yanhe thought self-deprecatingly: In the past few days since she returned to Beijing, except for the female relatives of the family who have visited her, her uncle, uncle, and several cousins have not appeared, probably to avoid suspicion.

Xie Yanhe gently blinked away the tears in his eyes and got out of the carriage.

Walk slowly along the carved beams and painted corridors, and divide flowers and willows all the way.

Passing through a moon cave gate, the yard is a stacked rockery pond, a few Xifu begonias are planted in the garden, and there are a few Xiangfei bamboos.

In the southeast corner of the courtyard, a swing frame was erected. In the southwest corner, there are stone tables and stone benches; The garden is planted with peonies, moon seasons, camellias, plums and other flowers, and it is a rich and elegant boudoir atmosphere.

This courtyard is the Wuyuan where Xie Yanhe lives.

The people in the courtyard had already received the news that the little master was going to return home, and more than 20 housekeepers and big maids with heads and faces were waiting in the courtyard.

As soon as Xie Yanhe appeared, he was surrounded by these people and entered the house.

A curtain of crystal beads adorned with the feet of a lion's rolling hydrangea jade pendant is lifted, followed by a screen of four crystal mica glass flowers and birds, and behind the screen is a beautifully furnished flower hall.

In the flower hall, there is a water of rosewood luodian inlaid treasure carved furniture, the floor tiles are paved with blue leaves and blue flowers, and on the windowsill is a plum bottle of a beauty under the moon, and a few flowers raised in the greenhouse are inserted in the bottle.

There are all kinds of treasures on the Bogu shelf, among which there is a blood-red Baibao coral tree bonsai that is the most eye-catching; On the bookcase by the window, there is a bowl of lotus in the Ru kiln celadon basin, and two big red koi fish swim happily among the lotus leaves.

All of them are arranged according to Xie Yanhe's preferences.

Xie Yan and ordered someone to call the red kite to come in and serve, after all, it was the person rewarded by His Majesty, and he couldn't keep people dry.

Since the red kite entered the eldest princess's mansion, she has only seen Xie Yanhe once.

has not been summoned by Xie Yanhe, and the red kite is extremely worried in his heart, lest he be returned to the emperor by Xie Yanhe.

At this moment, when the red kite heard that the county lord of Yonghe had summoned him, he was like hearing the sound of the Buddha's words, and his heart was suddenly relieved.

"The slave and maid greet the county lord."

In front of Xie Yanhe, the red kite had no arrogance as the Qinglongwei, and knelt on the royal blue pattern in the inner room with low eyebrows.

Xie Yanhe put down the tea cup in his hand, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and he asked, "How old is the red kite girl this year?" ”

The red kite first kowtowed to Xie Yanhe respectfully, and then replied very cautiously: "If the slave and maid return to the county master, the slave and maid are twenty this year, and they dare not be the county lord and say 'girl'." ”

Xie Yanhe's wonderful eyes flashed, and he said meaninglessly: "Excuse me, you are a person rewarded by Your Majesty, and you are naturally different from ordinary maids." ”

The red kite moved her lips, and was about to say something low, but was interrupted by Xie Yanhe with a calm face, and she slowly and logically said her arrangements for the red kite.

"You received the moon silver of the first-class maid in the public school, and I will add ten taels of silver to you here every month, and they make two more sets of clothes in the four seasons than amber, and they don't have to do anything at ordinary times, just go out with me."

I have to say that Xie Yanhe's treatment for the red kite is very generous.

Red Kite herself also knows that she is a person sent by His Majesty, and the county lord of Yonghe will never treat her as a confidant, which is also human nature.

The red kite is afraid, and the county lord of Yonghe relies on the emperor's favor and puts her in any yard to raise her. If it really comes to this point, His Majesty will not blame the county lord of Yonghe, but will only think that he is incompetent, and at that time, where will he end well.

Now, the county lord of Yonghe arranged himself so decently, and the red kite was very grateful, and she once again kowtowed to Xie Yanhe to thank him: "Slave and maid thank the county lord for his grace."

Since this red kite is not arrogant, Xie Yanhe did not embarrass her anymore.

Xie Yan and a jade face smiled very softly, a pair of soft peach blossom eyes were as bright as water, delicate and moving.

She said softly, "No need to be polite. You'll know later, I don't have so many rules here, as long as you do your part. ”

After speaking, he beckoned Jade to come over: "Let your brother go outside to help me inquire about someone, that person's surname is Li, and now he lives in Yuqian Hutong on Shuangping Street." ”

"County Lord!"

Jade listened to Xie Yanhe's orders and did not implement them immediately.

She raised her eyes, looked at Xie Yanhe in disbelief, and shouted very unwillingly: "What kind of card is that, even mentioning it will stain your ears......"

"Shut up!"

Xie Yanhe interrupted the maid's words sharply, and a jade snow's white face floated with a faint annoyance: "It seems that I indulge you too much on weekdays, so you don't know how to advance or retreat." ”

"The county lord forgives the sins!"

Jade saw that the county took the initiative and was really angry, so she didn't dare to say anything, she held back her tears and said, "The slave is going now!" He hurriedly retreated.

The red kite stood silently aside, treating herself as an ornament in the house, ignoring it.

Although the red kite didn't know what the reason for the sudden move of the county lord of Yonghe back to the Gongfu, he seemed to be extremely angry when he looked at the attitudes of these maids.

"Stand down, all of you."

Xie Yanhe waved his hand at everyone very tiredly, too lazy to bother with his lips any more.

Xie Yanhe knew in his heart that these girls were holding grievances for themselves. But since she is here with the eldest princess, she has become an outcast, no matter how much she plans, it is useless.

Late at night, Xie Yanhe buried himself in the brocade and fell asleep for a long time.

However, only a few hours had passed before Xie Yanhe opened his eyes.

She didn't alarm anyone, her slender jade fingers gently lifted the soft smoke curtain, and stared at the outside of the room in a daze.

Xie Yanhe couldn't help but think of the dream last night.

At that time, His Majesty was still King Yong, and in the palace, he held her on his lap and fed her pastries himself. She was young, and the cake crumbs were sprinkled on King Yong's robe, and King Yong was not angry, and told her interesting stories about marching and fighting with a smile.

There are many, many more scenes like this......

Since the death of his parents, Xie Yanhe grew up on the knees of Emperor Jianyuan.

All of Emperor Jianyuan's leisure time was not given to his wife and concubines, children, but to himself.

Xie Yanhe really didn't dare to imagine that the person who regarded her father would have such a dirty mind for her, and would regard her and her as a ......

Xie Yanhe pulled his lips bitterly.

In fact, whether it is to marry far away, you can stay away from these past events that make her heartbroken.

Red Kite didn't know why, after moving out of the eldest princess's mansion, the county lord's henchmen and maidservants seemed to be shrouded in a haze that could not be dissolved.

Especially Amber and Pearl, the two people, talked and laughed in front of the county lord, but the queen sighed and frowned.

But as soon as the two of them saw themselves coming, they immediately put on a casual appearance. Red Kite thought that something big must have happened, and only himself, an outsider, was kept in the dark.

The red kite had a heart, and under the pretext that there was something at home, he sued the county lord of Yonghe for leave, no matter how clumsy his excuse was.

Fortunately, the county lord of Yonghe agreed to his request.

After leaving the house, Red Kite dressed up alone and went to Yuqian Hutong that was mentioned in the words of the lord of Yonghe County.

The red kite arrived at the place.

She first looked around the house, and the two-in, two-out mansion was nothing special except for being narrow.

The red kite climbed over the wall and went in lightly. There was only one servant of about forty in the house, and there was not even a maid.

Red Kite is the best in the Green Dragon Guard, and her kung fu is not much better than those men in the Dark Guard, and she didn't have to make much effort to come to the main house.

After hearing the footsteps of someone moving, his figure flashed and carefully hid behind the door.

After waiting for most of the hour, a tall man with handsome facial features walked into the main hall.

The man wore a royal blue Ruyi silk brocade robe, with a bamboo hairpin pinned to his head, although he was young, his whole body revealed the iron blood and murderous aura of his ranks, which made his upright figure more masculine beauty.

The only subordinate in the courtyard walked in behind the man, and reported: "My lord, the eldest princess's mansion has sent someone to send the county lord's Geng post, and the servant has congratulated the lord." ”

The red kite, who was hiding in the dark and eavesdropping, felt a sigh in his heart, and the whole person seemed to be soaked in ice water, and it was cold from head to toe.

And the Gengthep and the mansion of which this man spoke...... It can't be the county lord of Yonghe, right?

Red Kite dared to say that he had never seen this person in the capital.

This young man had a foreign accent when he heard it, how could the county lord of Yonghe be promised to such an unknown little person!

Red Kite secretly thought: It must be that the atmosphere in the house is too tense, so she will think about it.

But the thing is that I am afraid of something.

I saw that the young man looked ecstatic, as if he couldn't believe it, and asked one after another: "Steward Zhang, I'm not dreaming, am I?!" The eldest princess really agreed?! Promise to marry the county lord of Yonghe to me?! ”

"My lord, can the minion still lie to you?"

Steward Zhang in the man's mouth nodded with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord for fulfilling his long-cherished wish." ”

After hearing Steward Zhang's affirmative answer, the man suddenly felt ecstatic, as if he couldn't even speak.

"Steward Zhang, I'm not afraid of your jokes, since I came to the capital four years ago, in my aunt's mansion, I was fortunate to see the county lord of Yonghe, and since then I have never forgotten it...... But at that time, the county lord was a quasi-princess, and I didn't think that I had such a fate with the county lord! Steward Zhang, I'm still in a dream. ”

The housekeeper Zhang smiled lovingly, and said softly: "The old slave grew up watching the adults, and now the wishes of the adults are fulfilled, and the old slave can only be happy for the adults!" ”

After the man's ecstasy, new worries surfaced in his heart.
