Chapter 48
It will be the old lady's birthday in two days, and today the three Nalan Zhiqi brothers finally arrived in the capital.
The British father and son rushed home early after the early dispersal, and it took a few hours for the people who came to report the news, so the family waited quietly in Foguangxuan.
After a long time, the British Duke felt that the time was almost up, so Nalan Zhifan took his younger brother and sister, as well as all the maids and family members to wait at the gate.
After a while, I saw Nalan Zhiqi and Nalan Zhixian brothers riding horses, with two carriages and several guards behind them.
Seeing his younger brothers and sisters waiting at the door with someone, Nalan Zhiqi felt warm in his heart and smiled at the three brothers and sisters.
After Nalan Zhiqi and his party approached, they stopped.
The three brothers and sisters of Nalan Zhifan went down the steps to meet them, and the brothers Nalan Zhiqi and Nalan Zhixian both got off their horses, and the Zhao family also got out of the carriage.
"Welcome home the eldest young master, the eldest young grandmother, the second young master, and the third young master" All the maids and family members knelt on the ground.
Nalan Zhifan smiled and saluted, "Big brother, sister-in-law", and turned around and asked the two younger brothers.
Nalan Zhiqi smiled and patted Nalan Zhifan's shoulder, "Second Brother"
looked at Nalan Zhiyu and Nalan Youruo again, "Why don't you recognize the big brother?" ”
Nalan Youruo hadn't seen Nalan Zhiqi for three years, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and his nose was sour "big brother"
Nalan Zhiqi saw that the little sister he hadn't seen for three years had become a big girl, so he stepped forward and rubbed Nalan Youruo's head, and said in a gentle tone, "Ning Ning is getting more and more beautiful, the eldest brother is almost unrecognizable, and he didn't think about the eldest brother."
Nalan Youruo listened to Nalan Zhiqi's words, and said in a glutinous tone, "I think about it"
"I also want to be Ningning," Nalan Zhiqi has been quiet to Nalan since he was a child, but he is no worse than the two brothers of Nalan Zhifan.
Nalan Zhixian stepped forward to look at his sister, who was still cute, "Why didn't Ning Ning think about the third brother?" ”
"And me," Nalan Zhiheng also asked with a smile.
"I think about it, I miss my three older brothers"
In order to ease the atmosphere, Nalan Zhiyu thought about it and quipped, "Sure enough, you only remember to take care of Ning Ning, and you don't even look at me."
Nalan Zhiqi saw that Nalan Zhiyu was still the same, he liked to joke, he thought that he hadn't seen him for three years, and he should be a little bit different, but he didn't expect it to be the same as three years ago.
Nalan Zhiqi's heart was warm, and he finally went home, "It's good to know, our family has a younger sister of Ning Ning, now that I come back, you don't want to bully Ning Ning" Nalan Zhiqi deliberately said to Nalan Zhiyu.
Seeing that the eldest brother was joking with himself, Nalan Zhiyu couldn't help but retort, "I've never bullied Ning Ning, okay?" ”
After speaking, seeing that no one was facing him, he continued to complain, "You are just eccentric, why didn't A-Niang give me a daughter?" ”
After saying that, everyone laughed, only Nalan Zhiheng felt the same way, "I also want to be a daughter."
Nalan Zhiqi looked at his younger brothers and sisters who were smiling, and there was a touch of doting on his face.
Zhao looked at such a scene from the side a little unexpected, although the family got along like this when she was in Liangzhou, but she thought that it would be different when she arrived in the capital, after all, the Nalan family was the head of the Daxuan family, and the rules and etiquette must be very strict, and she was also a little worried that she would not do well in the capital and the British government, but she didn't expect it to be such a warm scene.
Nalan Zhiqi took Zhao's hand and introduced it to his younger brothers and sisters, "This is your sister-in-law."
The three brothers and sisters of Nalan Zhifan saluted with a smile and asked, "Hello sister-in-law"
Zhao also smiled slightly and nodded.
Nalan Zhiqi introduced the three brothers and sisters to the Zhao family, pointed to the three brothers and sisters, and said one by one, "This is the second brother Nalan Zhifan, this is the fourth brother Nalan Zhiyu, and this is the sixth sister Nalan Youruo's nickname is Ning Ning."
Zhao all nodded in greeting.
Nalan Zhifan and Nalan Zhiyu are men, and it is inconvenient to be too close to their sister-in-law.
And Nalan Youruo is different, Nalan Youruo stepped forward to look at Zhao, and called out sweetly, "Hello sister-in-law, you can call me Ningning"
Nalan Zhifan walked towards Foguangxuan with everyone, Nalan Zhiruo saw that Zhao was a little nervous, gently took Zhao's hand, and comforted in a small voice, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be nervous, we are a family"
Nalan Zhiqi listened to his sister's words, turned his head and nodded to his wife, signaling that she didn't have to be nervous.
Zhao nodded.
When the group arrived at Foguangxuan, Mama Ding saluted with a smile, "The old slave greets the eldest young master and several young masters."
Nalan Zhiqi smiled and helped Mama Ding up, "I haven't seen you for a few years, Mama don't be so polite"
Mama Ding pushed the door open, and several people walked in, Nalan Zhiqi and Zhao knelt in front, Nalan Zhixian and Nalan Zhiheng knelt behind, kneeling down to the old lady and asking "Grandchild has seen grandmother"
The old lady felt sorry for the three children in her heart, and she hadn't seen them for three years, and with tears she said that the four of them helped them up, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back"
The three of Nalan Zhiqi saluted the British husband and wife, "Uncle and Aunt"
The British Duke nodded, and Zhou's eyes were slightly red and he helped the four of them up.
Zhao finally knelt down and said, "Granddaughter-in-law Zhao Wenfang asks grandmother for peace."
The old lady gave Zhao a pair of bracelets, looked at the down-and-out Zhao and nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "In the future, Hezhiqi will be harmonious and beautiful, if Zhiqi bullies you, tell your grandmother, grandmother will help you get angry"
"Thank you, grandmother"
Zhao and Zhou had met as early as when they got married, and Zhou liked Zhao's straightforward and generous temperament very much.
gave a pair of Pisces jade pendants, "May the two of you get along in the future"
"Thank you, auntie"
After that, several people gave gifts to Nalan Zhiheng and Nalan Zhixian.
The old lady asked her grandson, who she hadn't seen for three years, "Zhiqi, your father and mother are good?"
Nalan Zhiqi smiled and replied to the old lady, "My father and mother are fine"
"That's good, that's good"
The British duchess knew that the four of them had traveled all the way and were tired of traveling, so she proposed to hurry up and let the four of them rest after eating.
It's good that everyone thought about it for a while, anyway, they won't leave when they come back this time, and there will be more time to catch up in the future.
After the family had a lively lunch, Nalan Zhi took a few people to the courtyard that had been prepared.
The four of them went back to the room to wash up briefly, and then quickly fell asleep.
Nalan Zhiqi was afraid that his wife would be nervous, so he carefully introduced everyone in the house to the Zhao family, as for the Nalan Zhixian brothers, they grew up here, and they didn't feel a little rusty, as if they were three years ago.
The emperor's decree has come down, let Nalan Zhiqi go to Menxia Province, and Nalan Zhixian go to the household department, but remembering that the two have not returned to Beijing for three years, and they have been tired all the way, so they are allowed to report to the court after the old lady's birthday.
Nalan Zhiqi took his wife and two younger brothers to his grandfather's house to visit his grandfather, maternal grandmother, uncle, uncle and others, and got together with a few friends.
Tomorrow is the old lady's birthday, and Princess Jiang took Xiao Yunning and Xiao Zhuonan's wife back to the British to help.
Wang Danyu and the prime minister's wife came over early in the morning to help, as well as Nalan Youruo's other aunts and aunts.
With the status of the British Mansion in Daxuan, naturally there will be a lot of people coming, so the mansion is very busy today.
Nalan Youruo and Xiao Yunning, as well as Wang Danyu and Zhao, Nalan Youruo and the four of them finally had time to relax and stopped.
Nalan Youruo saw that the three of them got along at first sight, and smiled in her heart, worthy of the three of them in the future.
Nalan Youruo shifted his gaze to the smiling Zhao again, I have to say that this sister-in-law is really good, she is hearty, careful, dignified and generous, such a person is hard not to like.
Zhao saw that Nalan Youruo had been looking at himself and was smiling, and couldn't help asking, "Ning Ning looks at me like this, but sister-in-law, I'm so good-looking" Zhao likes Nalan Youruo's sister-in-law very much, and he also likes the warmth of the British father's family.
When I first arrived at the British Duke, I still had a faint worry in my heart, but through these two days of getting along, Nalan Youruo's sincere care, the love of the British duke, the care of the old lady, and the respect of the Nalan Zhifan brothers made her gradually let go of the last trace of tension in her heart.
Nalan Youruo quipped: "Yes, sister-in-law is really good-looking."
Wang Danyu also likes this hearty future sister-in-law, and quipped, "Who can compare this appearance to the Leyan county lord who is up-and-coming and captivating"
Zhao nodded, Fu He said: "Sister, this Daxuan, I'm afraid Zhao can't have a person who can compare with it", that day, when Zhao first saw Nalan Youruo, he was amazed by Nalan Youruo's appearance.
At a young age, because there is no pipeline, there is still a trace of immaturity between the eyebrows and eyes, but it is not difficult to see that the future is peerless.
Nalan Youruo was a little embarrassed to be praised, and it happened that the British duchess sent someone to invite a few people.
As soon as a few people entered the door, the Zhou family smiled and said to Prince Jiang and Princess Jiang: "You see, except for Ning Ning, these four people are all daughters-in-law of the Nalan family."
Wang Danyu and Xiao Yunning were a little shy by Zhou's joke.
Zhou asked a few people to sit down, and after a busy day, a few people took a seat and ate wholeheartedly.
After finishing the meal, I sat down for a long time, and Mrs. Wang saw that it was not too early, so she said goodbye, and Princess Jiang also smiled and said that the time was not early.
Zhou knew that a few people were also tired, and after thanking them well, he didn't stay, and took Nalan Youruo and Zhao to send the four of them to the gate, and watched a few people get into the carriage before turning around and entering the mansion.
Zhou looked at his sister-in-law and advised, "You two should also rest early, and you will have to get up early tomorrow."
Nalan Youruo and Zhao also knew it in their hearts, and after a salute, they went back to the courtyard.
Today, the British government is resting early, after all, there is still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow.
