Chapter 67: Guests of the Yan Palace
Yue'er didn't think much about going to the palace to play in the palace this time, she was just too bored, so she agreed to Su Zhi, and prepared excitedly and carefully.
Su Tong didn't wait until the next morning, but took Yue'er back to his Yanwang Mansion that night. After entering the gate, she got out of the carriage and changed into a soft sedan chair, and she was not helped down by Su Zhi until the courtyard where she had lived.
Several girls also brought over, and there were also Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year's Eve that Yue'er had never seen before.
There are a lot more people here now than the last time I came, and there is also a housekeeper Mama Dong, and two rough mothers-in-law.
Su Tong personally introduced the situation in this courtyard to Yue'er, and told her: "The courtyard next to it was changed to a kitchen a few days ago, and I will also eat here with you in the future, otherwise the outer courtyard is too far away from the kitchen." ”
Yue'er immediately said, "Then it's better for you to live here, I can live in the courtyard next to it." ”
When Su Tong heard this, he played a trick: "The other courtyards are being repaired, and now only yours can live in this inner house." ”
Well, although Yue'er won't believe his nonsense, no one will believe it, there is a huge Yanwang Mansion, and there is only one courtyard in the inner house that can live in it, and the big teeth in the capital will laugh when they say it.
But she still can't help it, after all, Su Zhi is the master, and it is difficult to expose it. She is always reminding herself to keep her duty, but she asks her master, who is Su Tong, anything.
Xiao Chuan'er is also a person who understands the master's nature very well, hearing the master lie like this, he came in after a while to report: "Master, if it is freezing today, the repair of the house is too time-consuming, I don't know that the master will come back today, and the outer courtyard is very chaotic, and I can't move in." However, the minions ordered them to work overnight and finish it as soon as possible. ”
Therefore, not only does the inner house of Yanwang Mansion have only this one courtyard to live in, but even the outer courtyard does not have a single room to live in.
Are you going to stay here? Yes, he's here he is.
This courtyard is not just a bedroom, Yue'er saw that it was getting late, so she got up and said, "Young master, rest early, I'll go to the side room." ”
Su Zhi leaned lazily on the kang in front of the window, stretched out his long arm to stop Yue'er and said: "At this time, the palace is relatively chaotic, I am afraid that the guards will be negligent, you should rest here, if you think I am not suitable here, I will go to sleep in the unfinished study in the outer courtyard." It's just that there are no doors and windows, and I slept in the snow nest on the battlefield back then, which is nothing. ”
Don't you just rely on others to expose you? Is it okay to be such a scoundrel, my Royal Highness King Yan!
Yue'er thought about it, then lowered her head and said, "Then the young master should rest early, I will keep vigil here." ”
Su Tong knew that he couldn't get too far into it, so he got up and went to wash, and then came back and pointed to the kang and said, "You are keeping vigil here." ”
Yue'er hung her head and didn't speak, so Su Zhi went to rest on the couch. He closed his eyes and listened to Yue'er's movements, thinking about how she had behaved in recent days. Not only is it not better after the incident in Huaishui East Building, but it has regressed more seriously than before.
She was guarding against it, but he didn't believe in it. There is no city in this world that he can't attack, but time is tighter now.
He knew that there was not much effort to delay, and the concubine might not be selected one day, and then she would get married. And at that time, it will be even more difficult to attack the city of Yue'er again.
Finally waited for Yue'er to sit there and kowtow, Su Zhi slowly got up, quietly walked to her side, took the person into his arms lightly, waited for her to sleep in his arms, and then picked her up and put it on the couch.
Yue'er has a problem when she sleeps, she will curl herself up in a ball, and the whole person will shrink into the quilt, and she has to hold a pillow in her arms to be sure.
Tonight, she was holding Su Zhi's arm, and the whole person was curled up in his arms. She slept unusually warm, and she was unusually steady, and when she woke up in the morning, she opened her eyes, and Su Zhi suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Yue'er in surprise and asking, "Why are you sleeping here?" Then he quickly got up and went out.
Yue'er was also stunned, obviously it was a vigil, even if she was asleep, she should be lying on the ground instead of lying on the table at this time, and she should be sleeping on the kang in front of the window. Why did you sleep on Su Tong's bed and wake up in someone's arms?
She thought about it and finally came to the conclusion that maybe she was too familiar with the room and would unconsciously climb into bed in the chaos.
So she was very embarrassed when she was eating breakfast, and Su Zhi also pretended that nothing had happened, Yue'er thought, he was giving himself face, and he was a little grateful.
After the meal, Su Tong urged her before getting up: "Hurry up and make up, the guests are almost here." ”
When Xiao Chuan'er came to report that the guest had arrived, she still wondered what kind of female guest Su Zhi would invite when she asked Yue'er to receive the female guest?
There is only one female guest, which Su Zhi thought of with his heart, and it was also the one who made him regret it later.
That is the eldest and youngest grandmother of Zheng Shilang's mansion, the daughter-in-law of Brother Ping, and Wang Jingshu who is pregnant. This is Yue'er's old friend, and with her feelings for Brother Ping, Su Zhi decided to invite her to be a guest in secret.
Yue'er had already seen Wang Jingshu in the capital, but people didn't know that she was also in the capital. Someone sent the letter to her silk village, and she knew that Yue'er was in the capital, and it was in the Yanwang Mansion, so she didn't have to worry about coming with Brother Ping.
In order to ensure Yue'er's safety, Wang Jingshu took Brother Ping to the shop early in the morning, and then covered up being picked up from the back door to the carriage, and then arrived at Yanwang's Mansion.
When she saw Su Tong, Wang Jingshu was a quiet person, and the expression on her face couldn't be hidden. Isn't this the man who lifted the tent on the bed and looked at her when she was pushed into the inner room of Yunlai Pavilion by Xie Yanzhi in Xie Mansion!
It took a while for Brother Ping to calm down, and seeing that His Royal Highness King Yan was also pretending to be confused, Wang Jingshu also pretended to be confused.
Brother Ping was a male guest and should have been received by Su Tong, but Wang Jingshu took him to give Su Zhi a big salute and then requested: "Your Highness, Brother Ping is afraid of people, if he leaves the people's daughter, he will be afraid, can the people's daughter be allowed to take him?" ”
Su Tong looked Brother Ping up and down, and Brother Ping kept holding his daughter-in-law's hand and looked at his daughter-in-law with a blank smile.
Wang Jingshu saw that the prince didn't speak, so she hurriedly said again: "Your Highness can send someone to follow us, and we will not let Brother Ping make trouble." ”
Su Zhi nodded slowly, and Ge Lin arranged for someone to follow Wang Jingshu and Brother Heping to the inner courtyard. Yue'er greeted her at the door of the hanging flowers, and when she saw Wang Jingshu, she was full of emotion, looking at Brother Ping, who was stupid but unusually handsome, she was in a very complicated mood.
stepped forward to hold Shu'er's hand, and said softly: "Sister Shu'er, are you still used to it in the capital?" ”
"Accustomed to it, I'm the most casual, when did Yue'er come to the capital, I was shocked when I heard that you were here." Shu'er entered the weeping flower door with Yue'er, and at the same time held Brother Ping'er's hand.
Brother Ping was just in the front yard, Xiao Chuan'er gave him a piece of snack, and then he took a bite of himself, and then sent it to Shu'er's mouth, and every time he saw her eat it, he smiled dumbly.
