At this time, in the imperial study, busy for more than half a month, the case of King Hong's rebellion was almost handled, those who should be arrested were arrested, and those who should be sentenced were sentenced, everyone finally became idle, and the emperor specially left a few people related to talk about their feelings during this time, and by the way, the meritorious ministers were rewarded, and the case of King Hong, there were many suspected officials, and many of them also directly copied their homes, and the prison suddenly had so many more people, and it was overcrowded for a while, Jiang Ying directly proposed to expand the cell.

The emperor nodded after thinking about it, "You can discuss this matter with Shaoqing of Dali Temple and come up with an idea, and then come to me." In this way, it was agreed, Jiang Ying heard this, and hurriedly thanked him. The emperor seemed to be in a very good mood today, and after chatting with Jiang Ying about the things in the prison, he looked at An Mingchen and Zheng Nianyuan, "You two are the biggest contributors to the Hongwang case this time, I want to reward you, say, what do you want?" ”

"Thank you to the emperor for the reward, but these are what Weichen should do, and I don't dare to ask for any reward." An Mingchen stepped forward and finished speaking, Zheng Nianyuan followed, "The grass people have also thanked the emperor for his kindness, and the grass people don't want to reward them." The emperor became more and more happy when he heard this, "You are all one by one, don't give rewards." Nianyuan, you have helped me a lot during this time, I don't think about finding an official and a half-job to sit in? ”

"Thanks to the emperor's wrong love, the grass people's family will leave the capital in a few days and go to Xunyang's hometown, I am afraid that they will not come back in a few years, so ......" The emperor was a little disappointed by this, but he was not reluctant, "Why do you suddenly want to go back to your hometown?" "I've never heard him say it before, and it's a bit sudden.

"The mother's decision, it just so happens that the mother has not been to Xunyang, and I heard that the scenery is beautiful and I want to go over to see it. After discussing it, I thought that the whole family would stay there for a few years. "Actually, this matter was decided two days ago, Zheng Nianyuan forgot it negligently, if it wasn't for what the emperor said just now, he wouldn't be able to remember. Leaving the palace, An Mingchen patted her on the shoulder, "just ......" a look, Zheng Nianyuan understood her intentions, and bowed apologetically, "Big brother, it's true." I was a little busy two days ago, so I forgot to tell you. ”

"It's a bit sudden, but it's not a good thing to go to Xunyang." Zheng Nianyuan has an upright temperament, what he says and what he does is written on his face, such a temperament is really not suitable for being an official, but the emperor admires him very much, and he shirks it a few times, which may make the emperor unhappy, and it is also a good thing to leave at this time.

Zheng Nianyuan knew what she meant, and nodded with a smile, "Actually, my father and eldest brother have the same idea, and they also feel that I am not suitable for officialdom, this decision seems sudden, but in fact, it is also planned by my father and mother for a long time. ”

"Not bad. It's just that if you leave suddenly, your sister-in-law will definitely be sad. Come and eat tomorrow. Get together before leaving. After Zheng Nianyuan should go down, An Mingchen went to the yamen, and forgot about it after a busy day, until the second day, when he saw Huangfuxue making a table of dishes, he remembered that Zheng Nianyuan and his wife were going to come to the door, and took her hand weakly, "Lady, it's better to make two more dishes, I forgot to say it yesterday, and the third sister is coming over at noon today." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier." Seeing that it was almost noon, she had prepared these dishes today, and if she wanted to prepare more, she would have to go to the big kitchen to get them. "Third sister, why do they suddenly want to come over." Since An Qinyue got married, she has come back a lot on weekdays, but she rarely eats in the house, but today she goes home to eat, and Huangfu Xue naturally feels strange. "Third sister, they are going back to their hometown in Xunyang, and they are here to say goodbye today." An Mingchen briefly said what happened, Huang Fuxue was a little regretful, "The third sister has exquisite embroidery skills, and she is also taking care of the silk village now, she is leaving, and I will be busy alone again." ”

Huangfu Xue was reluctant, but she couldn't stop her from leaving. Reluctantly went to the big kitchen, and came back again, An Qinyue and his wife, Li and An Wanru all came over, and the whole family sat at the table, it was rare to be so harmonious, "Sister-in-law, this is the account of the silk village, the things to pay attention to are written in this book, I can't help my sister-in-law in the future, sister-in-law don't be too tired, if you can't be busy, you will find someone to help." ”

"Got it." Huangfu Xue smiled, "When you come back, when you go back to Silk Village, I will always keep a place for you." An Qinyue was also reluctant, Huangfu Xue simply gave her a reassurance, the two got along well, An Wanru was very envious, "Sister-in-law, I can also help you take care of business, although my embroidery skills are not as good as the third sister, but not bad, why don't you let me try?" ”

"Do you look at the ledger? Will you run a shop? Do you know how to draw? Huangfu Xue asked three questions in a row, and An Wanru's face changed directly, "If my sister-in-law doesn't want to, why do you humiliate me like this." After speaking, he was still a little unwilling, and turned his head to complain to the Li family, "Mother, look at the sister-in-law, they are obviously a family, and they are so good to the third sister, but they ignore me." ”

"If your sister-in-law ignores you, how did you and King Hongwang get along, and whose food you are eating now. Put away your little caution, don't say that your sister-in-law doesn't agree, even if you agree, I won't let you go, you are lazy, I let you go to the restaurant, you can't go, now you take the initiative to go to the silk village to help, what idea do you have in your head, do you think I don't know? ”

"Mother, what do you say, what do I have in mind?" An Wan was aggrieved, what's wrong, how the whole family didn't like her, "Anyway, you are just partial, who hasn't made any mistakes, are you so on the line, others haven't said anything, you want to force me to death first." ”

"The second sister is serious, we don't think so, we just tell the truth." After Huang Fuxue finished speaking, she didn't pay attention to her, except for An Wanru from time to time to find a little bad luck for a meal, it was also a good time, after eating, Zheng Nianyuan and An Mingchen went to the study, and there were three of them left in the hall, Huang Fuxue handed the prepared set of jewelry to An Qinyue, "I don't know when I will come back, don't be afraid of being alone, just write to us if you are wronged, we will call the shots for you in the past." ”

"Sister-in-law." An Qinyue didn't want to leave, but when she heard this, she became more and more reluctant, in her heart, Huangfu Xue was closer than her mother, if it weren't for her, she would still be that inferior self-esteem, a woman who was useless, she would not meet her husband, and she would not live such a good life, she was grateful to her and hoped she was good, "Sister-in-law, I will come back to see you." ”

"Hmph, you don't want to come back to see your mother?" One noon, An Qinyue looked at Huangfu Xue, I don't know if I thought Huang Fuxue was her mother, Li was displeased, this girl still had no conscience, An Qinyue was blushing by Li's words, got up and stepped forward, "Mother, I can't bear you, I will come back to see you, if you have anything, let the eldest brother and sister-in-law write to me,"

"It's pretty much the same, okay, don't worry, with your eldest brother and sister-in-law, what grievances can I suffer. It's you, don't be so stupid, now the Zheng family is good to you, just because you just passed the door, and after a long time, you have to learn to plan for yourself, don't be stupid and tell others everything, write back when you don't understand something, and we'll help you find a way. ”

"Good. Thank you, mother. An Qinyue has rarely received Li's care since she was a child, not that she doesn't look forward to it, but she never has been, so Li cares about her once, she can remember it for a long time, only a few times in total, but she has always remembered it in her heart, "Mother can also go to Xunyang with her sister-in-law to play, Xianggong said that Xunyang has beautiful scenery and is a very beautiful place, doesn't sister-in-law like such a place the most?" ”

"I do like it, but I have so many things on my hands that it's not easy to go out." An Wanru saw that they were chatting happily, and no one asked her, and she felt a little unhappy, "Third brother, don't you have anything you want to say to the second sister when you leave?" Although she didn't have anything to say to her, the third child didn't care about her if anyone cared about her, and she felt very shameless. Xunyang, what kind of place is that, is it beautiful? She shouldn't have had a chance to go, though.

"Second sister, I thought you wanted me to go." During this time, Li was good to her and her sister-in-law, but not good to the second sister, the second sister was very complaining about this, and she thought that she hated her more and more, so she kept her distance, but in front of her mother and sister-in-law, there was a dispute that made them not good, but I didn't expect the second sister to take the initiative to speak, and the mood became better and better. It's been a long time since the family has been happy, and the scene she never dreamed of really happened.

"Am I such a stingy person, I said it all, let her pass in the past, and naturally include the unhappiness between us. Besides, I'm your sister, what's wrong with you, you don't have to mind like this, when you leave, you want me to say, I can't talk about you yet. An Wan snorted coldly, proud in her heart, but did not show it on her face.

In the afternoon, An Qinyue and they had to pack up their things, so they left early, and when they left, Huangfu Xue took the Li family to the restaurant, An Mingchen seemed to be very idle today, staying in the study all afternoon, and they came out in the evening, "Does the lady want to go to Xunyang?" ”

"Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" Originally, she was a little tempted, and when she asked, she wanted to go more and more, but she knew very well that she couldn't go at all in her current state. "You want to go?"

"I do want to go, but I'll be happier if you did." An Mingchen pulled her back to the room, "But I guess you won't go." ”

"Why do you say that?" Huang Fuxue didn't expect that she even guessed this, but she was a little puzzled, she kept shouting that she wanted to go out on weekdays, and she was finally able to go out, why did she still think that she wouldn't go.

"Because you said that you are destined to be busy, and that kind of day of wandering around the mountains and rivers and acting recklessly is not for you." An Mingchen looked determined, Huangfu Xue stared at her for a while and suddenly sighed, "You're right, that kind of day is really not for me, but I yearn for ......"
