When Princess Huai and her entourage arrived at the dock of Changchun Mansion, Tong Huaiyuan led a group of officials to sit in the tea shed by the dock.

One person has a coarse porcelain bowl, but they all have no intention of drinking tea, their eyes are focused on the boats on the river, suddenly someone pulled their sleeves, Tong Huaiyuan instantly returned to his thoughts, yes, he was distracted.

"My lord, do you see if it is Princess Huai who got off that boat?"

Following the direction of the man's finger, Tong Huaiyuan squinted and took a closer look, it was really! He stood up and trimmed his shirt slightly, and walked out with his head held high, and the officials of all sizes behind him did the same.

As soon as Princess Huai Chen got off the boat, she saw a large group of men dressed in official robes, and the dock was crowded, but at this moment, they all retreated to the sides under the control of the officials, and there was a road in the middle for people to walk.

Chen looked at the man who took the lead, his eyes showed approval, and his party temporarily sent someone to inform him that he had arrived today, and he could pack up and come to the dock to greet him in such a short time, which showed that he was a capable person.

Tong Huaiyuan didn't know that Princess Huai spoke highly of herself in her heart, and even thought a little distracted about quickly inviting the two big Buddhas back to the mansion, so that today's lunch could be solved in the mansion by the way.

Although there are people in Ruyi Building who pretend to be people in the house to deliver meals every day, the taste is not as good as dine-in.

Lunch in the house is closed to eat in their own yard, the baby girl at this time is not clumsy at all, the taste is like the Yilou chef burned even more delicious.

Breakfast was interrupted by the messenger sent by Princess Huai, so he ate a bite of mille-feuille, and the more he thought about lunch at this moment, the more hungry Tong Huaiyuan felt.

Quickly and calmly, Princess Chaohuai arched her hand and motioned to the other party to look at the carriage that had already stopped on the side of the road.

"Please move the princess, it will take about half an hour to walk from here to Weichen's mansion, there are some snacks and tea in the car, the princess please take care of herself."

Yes... The more I talked, the more hungry I became, and I really wanted to put on my wings and fly back to the house.

Tong Huaiyuan's enthusiasm is very normal and useful in Chen's opinion, which of these officials who are far away from the center of imperial power do not want to cling to the powerful, if they stay comfortably for two or three days, they can still help if they need a few kind words after returning to Beijing.

A group of people came and went, and then took more people with them.

The people should have watched the free play again, and as soon as the nobles left, the wharf returned to its former hustle and bustle.

People prefer to live in a comfortable environment that they have adapted to, and no matter how good the foreign things are, there will always be some rejection.

For the common people, these high-ranking nobles, in addition to dressing better, eating better, and living better, are nothing special, and they are also a pair of eyes and a mouth.

As long as their small life is stable and harmonious, it is the same for any nobleman, so Princess Huai and her party see that they are in order, and not all of them are the credit of Tong Huaiyuan and other officials, but more because the people don't care, there is still gossip, but it is only a temporary private exchange.

As soon as the governor got the news, the people in the whole house didn't eat breakfast except for Hanlian Garden.

Tong Qingyan looked at the mirror to help her comb her hair, the speed was obviously slower than the usual double happiness, biting the mille-feuille coated with a thin sauce and bending her eyebrows.

"Double Happiness, are you nervous?"

"Slaves don't."

"Oh."

"Well, the slave is nervous, no, very nervous!"

When braiding the wrong hair for the third time, Shuangxi finally let go of Tong Qingyan's hair, and rubbed the dough with both hands, trying to relax himself.

Tong Qingyan slowly finished eating the mille-feuille cake in her hand and wiped off the grease with a handkerchief.

I opened my makeup and picked out a magpie and a peach hairpin, compared it with the mirror, and inserted it into the bun with satisfaction.

Ignoring Shuangxi's disapproving eyes, Tong Qingyan stood up and walked slowly around the room.

Shuangxi looked at the sky speechlessly, whenever his own lady was overwhelmed and unwilling to go out to eat, she would circle around the house like this.

"Father should have brought the nobles to the mansion at this time, and he could listen to the message from the front yard later. After seeing the ceremony, he accompanied him to finish his meal, and went back to Hanlian Garden. You remember what your mother told you, right? ”

Pearl and Double Happiness both nodded straightly, really admiring their own young lady's composure.

In the face of nobles of Princess Huai's level, there is no cowardice, and Miss is really Miss.

In fact, they all overestimated Tong Qingyan, when they came to this world, they were just babies, and they easily lived twelve years under the care of Tong Huaiyuan, Wen Lan and Mrs. Tong, and no one in the house dared to bully.

There is also the industry of Ruyi Building outside, and all the cadres are carefully screened and patiently cultivated, it can be said that Tong Qingyan has lived a very smooth life in the past twelve years, and basically does not feel the coercion of the upper class people in this era.

Princess Huai, who is only known for not meeting, is the same as the mille-feuille cake baked in the morning for Tong Qingyan, there is nothing to go to, and she can't live for a few days anyway.

In the carriage moving smoothly, Princess Huai Chen's slender hands pinched soft glutinous pastries.

This pastry is not as crispy as the skin in the capital, but as transparent as ice cubes, soft and glutinous in taste, and the fragrance bursts when you bite into it, which makes the self-proclaimed noble and extraordinary Chen very curious.

"I can't see the small boundary of Changchun Mansion, but the pastries are made with ingenuity, go back and ask this Zhizhou, who is the chef who makes this pastry."

"Yes."

"What about the prince, didn't you say that you would meet at the dock, why didn't you see him today, did Su Yu find him? This kid is really, he actually traveled alone, and he didn't even take Su Yu with him. ”

Listening to Princess Huai complaining about the prince, Mingyue, who was making tea, smiled slightly.

"The princess also said, the prince has been pestering you for a few days, and you allowed him to travel, Su Yu is the prince's guard and a servant, how dare you disobey the prince?"

Chen is like any mother, her son can say whatever he wants, if someone really says, then his heart is naturally uncomfortable, listening to Mingyue's jokes, Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Mingyue is the youngest daughter of Princess Chen's nursing mother, who has been in the princess's courtyard since she was a child, and was promoted to the princess when she was trained to be useful, and became a first-class maid.

Chen is very satisfied with this big girl, she has a good appearance and a good temperament, and she is a beautiful interpreter flower.

is the same age as Song Zhan, and the position of the concubine of the prince of Huai is enough to bear.

"Concubine Ben knows, you are a good one, when you return to Beijing this time, you will go to Zhan'er's courtyard to serve."

"Princess.... The bright moon thanks the princess for her grace. ”

Two blush flew on Mingyue's face, and her curled and thick eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the ecstasy in her eyes.

After pulling Su Yu to finish the delicious lunch in Ruyi Building, and counting the hours, Song Zhan walked slowly and walked towards the Zhizhou Mansion.

Su Yu had been urging Song Zhan to go to the dock to meet the princess the moment he found Song Zhan, until he was dragged into Ruyi Building by Song Zhan and ate a few mouthfuls of food, and his mouth was closed.

Mrs. Tong and Mrs. Tong stood at the gate and waited, and Tong Qingyan held a book by the lotus pond in Hanlian Garden, and sprinkled fish food to tease the koi in the pond while reading a book.

"The third sister is so interested."

Tong Qingyan looked back at Tong Manjiao who was walking in, put down the book and got up to salute.

"Big sister and second sister are good, why is the big sister and second sister here? But there's news ahead? ”

Tong Manjiao glanced at the unclosed scroll, and sure enough, it was a miscellaneous book such as a travelogue, so she naturally retracted her gaze and looked at Tong Qingyan with a smile.

"Grandmother, they are all waiting at the gate, and there is no news yet, because there is no news, so they want to come to you to ask for a cup of tea, and the provincial messenger will run twice."

Although the second wife is still in charge of the house now, they all know that Mrs. Tong still has to be put in front of everything, and Tong Qingyan will of course be the first to get the news here.

Song Zhan and Su Yu each fried melon seeds, and squatted in the alley next to the Zhizhou Mansion, watching the movement at the gate.

When the last melon seed was eaten, I finally saw Tong Huaiyuan riding on a horse, and behind him was the carriage marked by the governor's mansion.

Song Zhan straightened his waist and straightened his clothes, took the wrapped pastry from Su Yu's hand, and walked generously towards Mingyue, who had just gotten out of the carriage.

"Mingyue, this is the pastry I bought for my mother." Song Zhan handed the pastry to Mingyue, and took Mingyue's hand to hold Chen's outstretched curtain. "Mother, the baby is late."

Tong Huaiyuan looked at the prince of Huai Wang who came out of nowhere, and was a little speechless.

I was a little curious about Princess Huai at the dock before, and there was a discrepancy with the news that came before, but now that I know, I must have sneaked out to play.

Song Zhan, who ran out to play and had a good time, looked like a handsome and noble son at the moment, standing beside Princess Huai with dignity.

The people of Tongfu, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, waited for the princess and the prince to climb the stairs and stand down, and then bowed down one after another under the leadership of Mrs. Tong.

The old lady Tong was full of silver hair, and the bowing speed was slower, Princess Huai just wanted to speak without courtesy, but Song Zhan had already stepped forward to hold the old lady's arm.

"The boy can't deserve the old lady's worship, the old lady please get up."

Song Zhan deliberately imitated the dress of Jiangnan students today, went to the ready-to-wear store to buy a bamboo blue robe, and by the way, picked a jade pendant in acceptable condition for the cottage fan.

Mingyue's heart was full of the tall and slender figure of the prince, thinking that she could be the first woman in the world after returning to Beijing, and the heart in her chest seemed to jump out of her throat.

Tong Qingyan and Pearl in the crowd subconsciously bent over, and the two looked at each other and found that each other's eyes were also shocking and capitalized.

"Isn't this a dart?! How did he become a son of the world in a blink of an eye! ”

"What should I do Miss......"

"A son of the world has to borrow money to eat a meal, is it really fake?!"

"Miss, what are we going to do......"

"This big liar, that ugly black jade pendant won't be returned to him, he used to scold me for being a profiteer, right?"

"Miss, we're really done......"

Just when the two made eye contact, Shuangxi pulled the sleeves of the two and motioned for the two to follow the footsteps of everyone towards the main hall.

Tong Qingyan pretended to tidy up her dress, slightly slower than everyone, and took the opportunity to pull Pearl and Double Happiness to the side.

Shuangxi felt strange when he looked at the young lady and the pearl just now, and at this moment he looked at the pearl sweating profusely, and raised his eyes to look at the crisp autumn sky.

"Pearl, what's wrong with you? Sick? Why do you sweat so much......"

"Oh yes, I'm not comfortable!" Pearl reacted quickly and heard Shuangxi's question, and covered her stomach, "Ouch, my stomach hurts, Miss forgive me, the slave is going to the thatched house, Shuangxi will accompany you, it will be fine, farewell." ”

Before Tong Qingyan and Shuangxi could speak, Pearl ran away.

Shuangxi looked at the round back of the pearl in shock, and then turned his head to look at the young lady who was not good-looking.

"Miss, has something happened?"

"It's okay, it's just the sky is falling."

“......”
