Chapter Twenty-Five: The Ancestral Hall, Strange Events
"Bauhinia County Lord? Miss, why do you suddenly want to know about the Bauhinia County Lord! Yu'er got nervous.
"The last time I went back to the house, I bumped into the Bauhinia County Lord's car halfway through." Hikosaaki recounts his encounter with the Bauhinia County Lord like a story.
"Then, that Bauhinia County Lord is His Royal Highness King Qin's favorite niece, a well-known little overlord! Miss, why did you provoke her? ”
"King Qin...... The famous little bully? Hehe~ This is very interesting! As he spoke, Hikoshi chuckled.
"His Royal Highness King Qin is the little imperial uncle of our Ziming Dynasty, and now he is only nineteen years old and has not yet reached the weak crown. The Bauhinia County Lord lost his parents less than six months after he was born, and he was brought up by His Royal Highness King Qin's mother, Concubine Mei, ......"
The carriage walked smoothly on the road, and Yu'er sat on the side, talking endlessly, while Hikosaaki was half-leaning on the soft couch and listening with pleasure.
"General! You'd better go in with the old slave! If the eldest lady saw you standing alone outside the house waiting for her, how sad she would be! The old woman who followed Yan Xinming's side said earnestly.
"Yes, General. Didn't the eldest lady reply that she would arrive at the General's Mansion at noon! Let's go in first, huh? At this time, the Xu family can be called a model of a good wife and mother.
"If you are not feeling well, go back and rest, remember to drink the medicine, don't fall into the root of the disease. The old man can wait for Qing'er here alone. Yan said firmly.
He glanced at Xu, her face was not very good, she should have been bothered by the fact that the girl did not return at night.
"General, look at what you said, how can the slave family be so haggard! Although the matter of the past few days has made ...... Alas! Or the eldest lady knows how to be considerate of people. ”
After Yan confessed to the Xu family, a servant shouted excitedly: "General, look! Isn't that the carriage in our house? It's the eldest lady who is back! The eldest lady is back! ”
"Huh?" Overjoyed, Yan looked in the direction the servant had pointed out.
The brown-haired horse, stepping on the billowing dust, was galloping towards this direction.
It's Qing'er, Qing'er is finally back!
"You kid!" Yan Xinming happily scolded the servant.
"Hmmm! It was the carriage that Qing'er was leaving. My baby girl is finally back! Are you still persuading the old man to go in and wait this time? Hehe~"
"Now that the eldest lady is back, what are you still doing here? Why don't you open all the doors and get ready for dinner! Xu Shi looked at the carriage from far and near, as well as Yan Xinming's excitement, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, Second Lady!" The servants who were hugging at the door scattered in a hurry.
"Huh! What about the night? Yan Xinming asked Xu.
A hint of joy crossed Xu's heart, and she replied embarrassedly: "Wanyi? She's still kneeling in the ancestral hall right now! ”
"Oops~, it's been a few days, and you're still kneeling? She's still young, and some things can't be solved by punishment. Xu's approach made Yan confess speechless.
"Quick! Hurry up and call the third lady out, don't kneel anymore! In the end, he still feels most sorry for his own daughter, and he must pay attention to the method of teaching people.
"General, didn't you say that Wanyi is all spoiled by slaves? This time, I will punish her to kneel in the ancestral hall for a few days, and you will feel distressed again! Xu's eyes moistened.
"If you, the mother, take care of her, she will suffer like this, will the old man feel distressed? After a few days, the old man asked her husband to teach her. ”
Xu Shi was silent and closed her mouth, sometimes she hated that iron could not become steel, so she would let her daughter kneel in the ancestral hall!
It's best to ask her husband to teach her!
"Miss, the General's Mansion has arrived!" The servants outside the carriage curtain reported.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of the General's Palace.
"Yu'er, we're finally home!" Hikosachi opened his sleepy eyes, and the crystal clear black pearl was even more lusterly under the washing of the clear spring, which was particularly charming.
"Hmm!" Yu'er stopped talking about it and didn't continue.
In the ancestral hall, a girl in a goose-yellow short skirt sat cross-legged on the ground casually, happily eating the food that I don't know who brought her.
Her smart eyes swirled casually, staring at everything here, the corners of her lips rising slightly, and the food continued to be stuffed into the small cherry mouth.
patting his legs and feet, which he didn't know how many times he had been sore, Yan Wanyi took out two small soft cushions from his knees and looked at them again.
Last time, last time, last time, it was she Yan Qianqing who asked her to send it to her! This time...... If no one shows up, who will it be?
"Look at the color and style of the small mat, it's pretty good! Hehe~" She laughed and continued to eat the pastries in the box.
This is the best pastry she's ever tasted! It wasn't made by the cooks of the General's Mansion.
"Ahem~"
Not far from the door, Mama Guo's coughing sounded, and Yan Wanyi was so shocked that she almost choked. She hurriedly arranged the delicate pastry box, and then with a gentle push of her hand, the box was pushed under the offering table.
"Mama! Did my mother send you to tell me not to kneel? Yan Wanyi straightened up and knelt straight.
It's a pity that Mama Guo didn't pay attention to her at all, and without saying a word, she groped for the inner hall with a crutch.
And like the last few times, this old man was very strange and never said a word to her.
I remember that she once lost her temper and shouted angrily if Mama Guo was a mute. What they answered her was a strange smile, which made her heels tingle and her heart tremble.
"Third Miss!"
With a hurried shout, Yan Wanyi was about to sit down, but she was startled again and straightened up.
"Oh, Third Miss, don't kneel anymore! The general has already interceded for you and let you go to the front room! ”
After hearing this, Yan Wanyi immediately sat down. She thought her mother was furious again!
"My dad? Would he be so kind? Seeing that I was punished by my mother, I wish I had kneeling for ten more days and eight days! Yan Wan said goodbye to the person who came to deliver the message in front of her, so she no longer paid attention to her, and groped under the offering table alone.
"Huh...... Hey, that's not right! I'm obviously in here, huh? How could it be gone! ”
"Third Miss? What are you looking for? Do you want a slave to help you find it? The maid wondered.
"Now that the words have been brought, there is nothing for you to do here! Go, go, go! Let's go! "It's really getting more and more chaotic, and at this moment she accidentally hit her forehead.
"Hey! You're back!! Yan Wanyi covered her sore forehead and hurriedly shouted.
The maid who was about to leave immediately stopped, "What's wrong?" Three Misses. ”
Having said that, she really doesn't believe that her father is so kind? She didn't get any worse, and she's thankful!
"Alas, you said my father begged for me?"
"It's true that the general said it, and the slave and maid were also present at that time!"
Cut! Really?
"That, did my mother say anything?" In the final analysis, Yan Wanyi still cares most about her mother's opinion of her.
The maid thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I shouldn't have said anything." Third Miss, no matter what the Second Lady does, it is also for your good, Third Miss, don't disappoint the Second Lady again! ”
"Got it! Tell me, what's wrong with my mother! Yan Wanyi said solemnly.
"The second lady is not in good health, she knelt in the ancestral hall for the third lady...... For several days in a row, I didn't eat or sleep well. The maid became timid as she spoke, and from time to time she noticed the changes in Yan Wanyi's little face.
"Alright! I'm going to see my mother. Oh yes, you stay here and find a box for Miss Ben, the kind of pastries, very delicate, very delicate, and remember to give it to me when you find it? After speaking, Yan Wanyi's smart eyes quickly swept everything around, especially the spiritual position in front of the offering table.
Shrugging her shoulders, the soles of her feet as if lubricated, she patted the back of the maid's shoulder, and then disappeared into the ancestral hall with a puff of smoke.
"Third Miss!" I thought Yan Wanyi was quite strange, what else did the maid want to say, but when she turned around and saw that the person had already walked away, she only nodded silently, "Okay......"
Wasn't it fierce just now? What a change! Come to think of it, the third lady is afraid of staying in the ancestral hall!
It is said that after Yan Wanyi ran out of the ancestral hall, she leaned under an old locust tree not far away, breathing in the fresh air.
"Damn, how can there be such a weird thing in the ancestral hall!" If she hadn't witnessed the disappearance of the pastry box, she had forgotten that she couldn't stay in the ancestral hall for long.
Thinking that she had been in it for a few days, Yan Wanyi pulled up her sleeve and sniffed and sniffed.
"Ah~ I'm not alive anymore! The skirt I just changed, why did it get the smell of unfortunate incense again, hum~" She pulled her throat and glanced at the ancestral hall with disgust.
In the future, she will never go into that damn place again!!
Yan Qianqing entered the table under Yan Xinming's cold greeting, and looking at the large table of delicacies in front of her, her stomach screamed uncontrollably.
"Hehe~ I'm sorry! I guess I haven't touched these things in a long time! She looked at Yan Xinming and the people around him who were instantly petrified, and explained with an embarrassed smile.
"Where's the third lady! Let you call her, why hasn't anyone arrived yet? ”
Xu Shi looked at the delicacies on this large table, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his heart was dripping blood.
In the end, it's still Yan Qianqing's life, wow! Since this general's mansion has been her housekeeper, when has she made such a big table of big fish and meat to enjoy?
"I guess I hurt my knee in the ancestral hall, so I'm dealing with it now! The second lady will wait a moment, and the slave will go and take a look. The green-clothed maid standing beside Xu replied.
I have to say that this girl is still quite smart, she obviously doesn't know what's going on, but she can connect with reality and deal with it easily.
"Don't wait for her, when is this coming! Qing'er's stomach is grumbling with hunger, let's eat! Yan Xinming was a little unhappy in his heart, but he forced himself to laugh.
"Hey, why don't you see Sister Yun'er?" Yan Qianqing was ready to tease the beauty, but she didn't see the beauty, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it!
