Chapter 7 Wait until the three dynasties return to the door
The sky was overcast, and the dome in the distance was faintly blue-gray, and heavy clouds were piled up in the sky, as if there was an illusion that black clouds were about to destroy the city.
After a while, there was a light rain in the sky, and the rain gradually increased, and strings of raindrops fell sharply from the sky, like pearls breaking off the line, hitting the emerald green plantain leaves, drop by drop, sound, and complaint.
The rain curtain is dense, and it is a white expanse from a distance, as misty as smoke. The pomegranate in the yard is even more gorgeous after the baptism of rain, red as if in full swing, and the layers of pomegranate flowers are ready to burn.
Today is the day when the cold moon returns to peace, but I didn't expect the heavens to be so unbeautiful. Although there are some small regrets, this can't stop the excitement of Hanyue who is about to return to her parents' home.
After breakfast, the couple took a carriage towards Xiao's mansion. Because he was returning to the door, Han Yue only brought Zi Mo and Zi Su two girls, and Nangong Jing only brought Ling Feng, the guard who had been following him. Six other guards were sent to flank the carriage.
Due to the gloomy sky and heavy rain, there were few people on the street, and occasionally a few people without umbrellas rushed through the heavy rain. The only sound left in the street was the sound of pouring rain and the sound of horse-drawn carriages.
After about a stick of incense, the carriage stopped in front of a mansion. Nangong Jing and Hanyue got out of the carriage with the support of the slave maid.
"Dad, mother." As soon as Han Yue got out of the carriage, she saw Xiao Rin and Mrs. Xiao waiting at the gate of Xiao Mansion. It was raining so heavily, but her father and mother had been waiting for her at the door, and Han Yue couldn't help but be moved when she thought of this, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Xiao Rin was dressed in a brown Wanfu dark pattern regular clothes, Mrs. Xiao was wearing a blue satin pinched cardigan, and the second elder saw Nangong Jing coming with the cold moon, and saluted respectfully: "The ministers and concubines have seen the prince and the princess." ”
Nangong Jing hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please get up quickly, don't be polite." We are all family. ”
"Yes, Daddy, get up." Seeing this, Hanyue hurriedly went up to help.
After the second elder got up, he could take a closer look at Hanyue and Nangong Jing. Nangong Jing is wearing a dark blue hollow pattern dress today, wearing a white jade crown, and the whole person looks dignified, gentle and elegant. The cold moon wears a fragrant concubine-colored hibiscus pattern woven gold wide-sleeved skirt, a set of coral pearl heads, gentle and virtuous, and has a good complexion.
Mrs. Xiao looked at the cold moon who had married a wife, and her heart was relieved, and she couldn't help but redden. When Han Yue saw her mother like this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Although Xiao Rin also misses her daughter very much, but it is really inappropriate to be like this at the gate, so when she saw this, she glanced at Mrs. Xiao and said, "Madame......"
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly tucked the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "The concubine is rude." ”
"Let the prince smile." Xiao Rin turned his head and apologized to Nangong Jing again.
"It's okay, Mrs. and Yue'er have a deep relationship with each other, how can this king be strange." Nangong Jing had a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, looking very approachable.
"Let's all go into the house quickly, it's windy and rainy outside, and if you have anything to say, let's go in and talk about it." Xiao Rin said, and everyone walked towards the mansion one after another.
Nangong Jing and Xiao Rin went to the front hall to drink tea, while Han Yue and Mrs. Xiao went to the inner room to talk.
In the hall, several tables and chairs are carved from rosewood, there is a white crane with nine turns of the smoker on the table, a few rich bamboos are inserted in the frozen blue glazed amphora in the corner of the wall, and the wall is hung with the jade spring Baotu picture painted by Master Zhang of the previous dynasty, which is very simple and elegant.
Nangong Jing looked at the layout in the room and nodded unconsciously. The decoration of a house can be seen that the owner's personality is a person, and it seems that Hanyue's quiet character must have been passed on from her parents.
Xiao Rin led Nangong Jing to sit down in his position, and after a while, a maid served refreshments.
"The little girl Hanyue has been spoiled since she was a child, and I ask the prince to take care of it." Xiao Rin looked at Nangong Jing and said with a modest smile.
"Father-in-law is polite, Yue'er is gentle and quiet, and she is a good wife." Nangong Jing replied.
"Haha, that's good, that's good." Hearing Nangong Jing's reply, Xiao Rin breathed a sigh of relief, the stone in his heart was put down, and he saw that the young couple got along well.
"By the way, I heard that the prince has a lot of research on calligraphy and painting, and I happen to have a few treasures here, why don't you ask the prince to move to the study?"
"Okay, father-in-law, please."
The two went to the study without mentioning it.
Xiaoxiang Garden.
Mrs. Xiao took Han Yue's hand all the way to her boudoir before she got married. Everything in Xiaoxiang Garden has remained the same, and the slightest furnishings have not changed.
"My Yue'er, let my mother take a look." Mrs. Xiao looked at Han Yue with great excitement, and even her voice trembled a little.
"Is he good to you, lord? Is the palace still habitual? And ......" Mrs. Xiao babbled and asked many questions at once. Although the young couple seem to have a good relationship, they always have to confirm it in person to rest assured, which is really pitiful for the parents of the world.
Han Yue looked at Mrs. Xiao, she stretched out her hand and shook Mrs. Xiao's hand, "Mother, don't worry, everything is fine with my daughter, and the prince treats his daughter very well." Speaking of Nangong Jing, Han Yue's face turned red unconsciously.
Mrs. Xiao is a person who has come over, she understood everything when she looked at her daughter's shy appearance, and she was relieved, "Okay, it's best if your husband and wife have a good relationship, and your father and I can finally rest assured." As long as he's good to you, that's better than anything else. ”
"Mother...... Han Yue hugged Mrs. Xiao and sobbed faintly. Even if she is married, in front of her mother, her daughter will always be a daughter, and she is the child who can't grow up to be spoiled.
After that, the mother and daughter talked a lot more in the house, and when it was time for lunch, they returned to the antechamber.
When Han Yue brought Mrs. Xiao to the living room, Nangong Jing and Xiao Rin were already sitting in the hall, Xiao Rin was talking about something with her eyebrows, and it seemed that the two were talking happily.
Xiao Rin saw Hanyue's mother and daughter coming, so he said, "Okay, let's go have lunch." The group got up and walked towards the dining room. Shazhou Tacui, pipa prawns, oyster sauce beef tenderloin, sesame oil paste, Sichuan sauce duck paw, slippery shellfish balls, diced cucumbers, pepper oil and white, Yipin tofu, three fresh meatballs, mille-feuille steamed cake, this table full of dazzling dishes are all Hanyue likes to eat, and it happens that there are many dishes that Nangong Jing loves to eat. The two of them used a lot of dishes on this table, and during the banquet, Nangong Jing and Xiao Rin also drank some wine.
In the afternoon, the sky was slightly brighter, and the torrential rain was no longer there, but the sky was still covered with rain, like a fine cobweb covering the whole of Kyoto.
After lunch, the four of them sat down and talked for a while. After the time passed, Han Yue and Nangong Jing were about to leave. Xiao Rin and his wife got up to see each other off.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Xiao Rin suddenly coughed as he walked, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he looked like he wanted to endure it but couldn't help it, looking very painful. Mrs. Xiao on the side hurriedly stepped forward and patted his back with her hand, looking quite worried.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Hanyue also looked worried.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, it's old, it's useless." Xiao Rin finally stopped coughing and sighed at this moment.
"Your father has been like this for a while, I asked him to ask the doctor to take a look, but he refused, and you don't know his stubborn temper." Mrs. Xiao glanced at Xiao Rin with disgust, and then said helplessly to Han Yue.
"Dad, if you listen to your mother, please ask the doctor to take a look. We're so relieved. ”
"Yes, father-in-law, the most important thing is your body. Recently, the DPRK and China have been busy with official business, so don't be too tired, just take a good rest. Nangong Jing said with concern.
"Okay, I see, don't worry." Xiao Rin replied kindly, patting Han Yue's hand.
Always reluctant to leave at the time of parting, Han Yue turned around and got into the carriage step by step, Xiao Rin and Mrs. Xiao were still at the door looking at the direction of her departure.
