Yuan Mingyue returned to the mansion, but before she could return to the courtyard, she first went to Yuan Hai's house to report. Originally, the old lady of the Yuan family and the old lady of the Xu family were sisters, both from the Hai family in Nanjing, but because the old lady of the Xu family was born by her mother's original match, and the old lady of the Yuan family was born by the stepfamily, the matter between the women in the backyard was not clear, so the relationship was clear.

In any case, it is a big deal for the woman in the boudoir to go out, and she must tell the elders when she goes home, because there is no grandmother in this family, and some chores in the backyard are temporarily managed by her father's Aunt Qiao, but she can't get over the hurdle of the daughter-in-law, and she still has to give her grandmother such things.

"Mingyue visits grandmother, grandmother is fine." When she arrived at the door of the old lady's house, Yuan Mingyuefu went down, only to hear an unhurried voice floating in the hall: "Get up, why didn't you go back before noon today, your good grandmother didn't even leave food, what kind of wind is blowing." ”

"I think my grandmother is not feeling well today, so she needs to rest more." Yuan Mingyue was slightly perfunctory.

"Humph!" Yuan Haishi snorted noncommittally, Yuan Mingyue knew in his heart that there was nothing to order, so he said: "Then Mingyue will not delay grandmother's rest, Mingyue will retire." ”

"Wait" Yuan Mingyue straightened up and looked at Old Lady Yuan. Then I heard: "Your father is resting today, and it is rumored that you will have dinner and go to the study of the east courtyard to see him." ”

"Yes," Yuan Mingyue didn't say much.

Yuan Mingyue returned to her yard, looked up and saw the three words "living and leaving the hospital" and couldn't help but sigh, this is her mother's inscription, and there is Xiao Suo between the lines. The woman is at home, no matter how long, she will eventually stay temporarily and leave last.

Mother is the only daughter of my grandmother, pampered since childhood, never suffered from the slightest wind and frost, after marrying the Yuan family, there is a mother-in-law constraints, and the father can not say whether it is good or bad, I think it is very nostalgic for the time at home, I named Mingyue, but also want me to be glorious and happy, a worry-free life.

As soon as I entered the courtyard to change my clothes and pass the meal, I saw the eldest girl peony coming in in a hurry, holding a letter in her hand, and said when she entered the house: "Miss, the letter from the young master to you said that it will be returned tomorrow." As he spoke, he handed the letter over.

"Since it's Ming'er, I'll go back, what kind of letter are you handing over, did my grandmother talk to my father?" As he spoke, he took the letter.

"I don't know about this, young master acts, you don't know, but I think it shouldn't be, and our young master doesn't want to see her." The peony was abrupt, and it was said quickly and urgently.

It is said that the close maid of our young lady should also be cautious in words and deeds, and have proper etiquette. However, this peony is different from Linglong, it was not sent in since childhood, it was picked up by the eldest young master of the Yuan family from his appointment, saying that he picked up two brothers and sisters, and named his brother a pot lid, and his sister called a spoon.

Xindao: "Little sister, when I come home tomorrow at noon, I brought you rare things, remember to leave food for the eldest brother, the old rule." "The payment is flat.

Yuan Mingyue smiled, so is my brother, I am about to be promoted to a foreign officer, although it is a flat transfer to Beijing, but this Beijing official is naturally not as good as being released, presumably my father and grandmother are afraid that they have made a lot of efforts, this early 20 member of the foreign lang is not a child of a family, and my brother is also rare.

But he ordered: "Peony, send a message to the kitchen, and prepare the duck with sauce at noon tomorrow, and say that the eldest young master is back."

"Gotta gotcha" Peony ran out as soon as she smoked.

After finishing the meal, Yuan Mingyue took a nap at noon as usual, but she couldn't sleep on this side, faintly worried, recalling what her grandmother said, she already understood that her father was afraid that she was going to say it clearly, thinking about it, her head began to hurt again, and she gave up after thinking about it, so she had to come and stop it.

This Yuan Mingyue has been good for everything since she was a child, she is not sick or sick, she is smart and clever, and she has a good heart, but there is one case, that is, a headache, every three or five times, I don't know what the reason is, and I don't know how many doctors I have invited, I was stunned and said that I was not sick, so that the old man of the Yuan family Yuan Shiqian was helpless, and later invited a master to say that it was not a disease, and he was cured without medicine in the first year.

Just after Shen Shi, Yuan Mingyue went to the Dongyuan study early, and saw that his father was really waiting for him, so he was busy "seeing his father".

Yuan Shiqian hurriedly said, "Yue'er is here, is your grandmother okay?" Yuan Mingyue looked up and saw her father getting up at the desk, dressed in gray clothes, and his figure was slightly blessed, remembering that his father had also passed the age of not being confused, operating inside and outside all the year round, and being busy with official business, which made his father more and more old, and his temples were slightly gray, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

"My grandmother is fine, just a slight cough, and my father is relieved."

Yuan Shiqian said: "Your grandmother is in good health, I am relieved" paused for a while, and said: "What did your grandmother tell you today?" ”

Yuan Mingyue thought in her heart, I don't know what this father's mind is, so she said: "Father, my grandmother said that her old man has become more and more unhappy in recent years. ”

Yuan Shiqian listened, didn't move for a long time, and said secretly: "What does this mother-in-law mean?" This old lady Xu is not only her mother-in-law, but also her aunt, and her mother-in-law understands what she means, but what does this mean by the word Mingyueci? This Mrs. Xu is not an ordinary deep lady and child, she is the daughter of the Hai family, she has no son, and she has a firm foothold in the Xu family by raising a concubine, and her father-in-law left early, she can support the uncle of the Xu family to participate in political affairs from the second grade, which is also a role. If she wants to say that she let Mingyue pass, she will give such a word, if there is no deep meaning, Yuan Shiqian himself will not believe it. “

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, but I heard Yuan Mingyue say: "Father called me today, but I have something to order?" ”

Yuan Shiqian came back to his senses and said: "Oh, it's not a big deal, it's just that you start the New Year, your mother goes early, Aunt Qiao is not allowed to do it for you, I think it's better to ask your grandmother to give you a ceremony, you see what friends you want to invite or what you want to buy to start it, so as not to be negligent in handling the New Year at the end of the year, and in a hurry at the beginning of the year." ”

Yuan Mingyue was puzzled, it was still nearly a year, what was the hurry, but she said: "The father doesn't have to worry about some trivial things, the daughter can save it."

"Where can it be a trivial matter, after Yue'er and Lu, it is time to get married," Yuan Shiqian said as he pretended to stroke his beard.

"Father! Yue'er wants to stay at home with you all the time" said Yuan Mingyue's face was full of shame, this father is different from her grandmother after all, her father is a man, and it is even more embarrassing to say.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, Yue'er should go back to the hospital early to rest."

Yuan Mingyue blessed the gift: "Yue'er retired, and my father rested earlier"

After Yuan Mingyue left, Yuan Shiqian was stunned because he couldn't understand, he didn't understand where his mother-in-law was singing, and he didn't understand why his mother-in-law was unwilling to send Yue'er into the palace. The most important thing is that the master of the light shadow said that Yue'er's yang life and yin body have a great creation, isn't this girl's great creation all on her husband's family? That's right.

Yuan Shiqian couldn't figure it out.
