Chapter 2 Returning Home
Seven cylinders carrying the little scholar, standing at the door of the Hou Mansion with a big thorn, looking up at the four big characters of Shou'an Houfu on the plaque, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, and sincerely admired, "Girl, your family is really magnificent!" ”
Yu Heng pursed his lips and smiled, "There is something more magnificent than this, do things well, and take you to see and learn in the future." ”
"Girl! I'm going to do a good job! Qiguan straightened his chest, and his eyes were shining.
When the housekeeper at the door saw Yuheng, he rubbed his eyes, patted his head, and shouted, "The third girl is back!" Go tell the old lady! ”
He also called someone to help Xue Ming, the third son who was beaten so hard that he could barely see him, and the unconscious boy inside, and sent someone to report to Mrs. Hou's Liang, and then sent someone to ask for a doctor.
After Yu Heng handed over the gray donkey to Uncle Shanfu, who was in charge of horses in the Hou Mansion, he returned directly to Tao Ming Garden with the seven cylinders.
After entering through the second gate, the closest and best courtyard to the Yulan Garden where the old lady lives is the Tao Ming Garden where Yuheng lives.
After a while, he walked to Tao Ming Garden, looking at the familiar courtyard in front of him, Yu Heng couldn't help but sigh that the golden nest and silver nest were not as good as his own kennel, and besides, he was the golden nest and the silver nest.
Traveling around, how can the days of eating and sleeping in the open be compared to the life of a group of servants and women who come to the Hou Mansion to reach out for food and open their mouths, it is really a comparison of happiness.
"Girl! The girl is back! ”
A maid dressed in an emerald green jacket, about fourteen or fifteen years old, put down the needlework in her hand and rushed towards Yuheng with small steps.
The seven cylinders rushed from behind to the front of Yuheng, protected Yuheng behind him, and pressed one palm against the maid's forehead.
"Girl, who is she?" The little maid in the emerald green jacket crossed her waist and questioned bitterly.
The girl has only been out for three or four years, and she came back with little hooves from outside, is this to like the new and hate the old and forget her big girl Caiyue?
Without waiting for Yu Heng to speak, the little maids who came out of all parts of the yard chattered and surrounded her.
The big girl Caiyue didn't have time to be sad, so she was squeezed out, and the seven cylinders were also pushed aside.
"Quiet!"
Cai Yue got angry, and took out the momentum of the first person in front of her first-class maid master, and suppressed all the maids at once.
"Little hooves, don't go and prepare to serve the girl to dress up, what kind of fun are you making here! Don't you see that the girls are so haggard and tired? I don't know how to be considerate and considerate of the girl. ”
Seeing this, a group of little maids carefully looked at Yuheng's face, and it was indeed much paler and thinner, how round and lovely the girls were before, and their faces were white and red, like red apples.
The little maidens were very guilty.
Hurriedly went to the big kitchen to ask for hot water, prepare snacks, prepare clothes, incense, and heater.
The eldest girl Caiyue looked at Qiguan and glanced at her, very proud, "Girl, Caiyue misses you." ”
"Don't be poor, hurry up and freshen up and go to see my grandmother first, and find someone to take the seven cylinders down to rest, and live in the side room next to me."
"Yes, girl."
Cai Yue hurriedly responded happily.
The matter of serving the girl still falls on her eldest girl.
Before it was ready, Yulanyuan had already sent the right-hand man next to the old lady, Huamei, to wait.
Yuheng was dressed up by Caiyue, Caiyue's hands were fast, and it didn't take long to get better.
The group walked towards Magnolia Garden.
"Grandmother has been in good health for the past few years?"
Yu Heng took care of it and changed into a red dress that was full of spirit, making her face even fairer and thinner.
"The old lady is all right, but she is very worried about you." Huamei knew that the third girl was the tip of the old lady's heart, not only because the third girl looked like her former uncle Xue Song and the old lady when she was young, but also because she lost the love of her parents when the third girl was young, and the old lady was used to reporting good news to the juniors outside but not bad news.
Yuheng's grandmother, Zhao Lang, is the eldest daughter of Emperor Huizong and Empress Chen, and the aunt of the current saint. Empress Chen only had one daughter in her life, the emperor favored abnormally, sealed the eldest princess of Langhuan, and later fell in love with Xue Jinyi, the son of Shou'an Houfu at that time, married Shou'an Houfu, and gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Xue Song, and the second son Xue Fang.
Zhao Lang lived a prosperous and smooth life in the first half of his life, and made remarkable achievements, and gave Emperor Huizong a lot of feasible suggestions to improve the lives of the people, single-handedly founded the Jinghua Women's School, and the nobles in Beijing could not compete for an admission place.
In his later years, Zhao Lang lost his husband and son one after another. Especially the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law died young, leaving a pair of young children.
The daughter is Xue Yuheng, when her parents died one after another, she was not yet eight years old, and her younger brother Xue Ling, now the son of Shou'an Houfu, is less than a year old.
The husband and wife in charge of the Hou Mansion died one after another, leaving behind Xue Ling and the young Xue Yuheng who were waiting to be fed, the eldest princess of Langhuan did not have time to mourn, and urgently summoned the second son Xue Fang's family to come back, and after the funeral, she wrote to ask the second son Xue Fang to attack the lord, and please seal Xue Ling, the eldest son of the Changfang, as the prince of the Hou Mansion, and let the knight in the year of Xue Ling's weak crown.
Zhao Lang felt sorry for a pair of grandchildren who were young and lost, so he put his sister and brother in Yulan Yuan to raise them personally, and invited Meng Zichuan, the most famous scholar of the Great Jin Dynasty, to teach Xue Yuheng.
Turning all the grief into love for a pair of grandchildren, Zhao Lang devoted himself to supporting his sister and brother, loving and strict.
"Huamei, grandmother has something, you must not hide it from me." Xue Yuheng said solemnly with a serious face.
"Three girls, the slaves and maids are saved, don't worry, there is Mama Fu, but the old lady has a small ache in her body, and Mama Fu is not a problem." Hua Mei smiled and explained, there is a daughter who is proficient in medical science and good at gynecology to regulate her body, and Zhao Lang's body has always been very good.
"It's safe to be blessed with Mama, but don't be careless about your diet and daily life." Yu Heng still instructed.
"Yes, don't worry, the third girl, the slave maid has written it down." Painted Mei listened humbly and responded softly.
However, a hundred steps away, you will arrive at Magnolia Garden.
When Yu Heng entered, there were already many female dependents sitting in the main hall, and on the main seat sat an old lady in her fifties who was full of energy and joyful and looked at the door many times.
When the red figure crashed into the eyes of the old lady Zhao Lang, the old lady called out excitedly.
"Sister Heng, grandmother's Sister Heng."
Looking at Xue Yuheng, who looked like a big child and like herself, the old lady's cloudy eyes were full of tears.
"Grandmother."
Xue Yuheng walked quickly to the old lady, half snuggled in the old lady's arms, hugged her and choked in a low voice.
"Ah Heng misses his grandmother so much."
Yuheng, who was only fifteen years after the New Year, went out to study art with a hard heart, and I don't know how much heart my grandmother had.
O her grandmother!
Always try to satisfy her little wishes to the greatest extent, others think it is incredible, but grandmother takes it for granted because of her.
When she left home to learn art at a young age, and then went out to practice, I would like to ask a noble girl in Beijing, who can do her best to fulfill a woman's dream like her grandmother, regardless of worldly prejudices?
What if she doesn't have parents?
She is still the freest woman living in Beijing.
