Two months later.

"Ah Yan, don't go to Master Chen's today." After breakfast, Zheng Wanyan was about to go out, but Granny Yue stopped her, she turned to look at Granny Yue with a questioning face. Before she could ask, Granny Moon spoke

"It's going to be the New Year soon, and when you went to school yesterday, a letter came from Kyoto, and someone from the Prime Minister's House will arrive today to take you back for the New Year."

"Mother-in-law, what did you say? Is it really a letter from my father? Although Granny Yue is also very kind to her, she has not been loved by her parents since she was a child, and every time she sees the children in the village, she can grow up with her parents, and she often feels lonely in her heart.

"Well, come on." Granny Moon took her hand and returned to the hall and sat down in a chair. "Before they come, my mother-in-law has something to say to you."

Looking at her mother-in-law's solemn face, Zheng Wanyan was suddenly a little scared, and she didn't want to hear it.

"Ayan, although you grew up in this countryside since you were a child, but the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, mother-in-law has never relaxed, mother-in-law knows, one day you have to go back, because your grandfather and daughter, as long as your father is still the grandfather, for him you have the value of your existence, which is also the reason why the Xiangshi said that you are a lonely star, but your father allowed you to live in the world."

"Mother-in-law, what are you talking about, father, father won't, I'm his daughter." is as smart as her, Wanyan can't hear her mother-in-law's words, and her heart is as mixed as if she has knocked over a condiment.

"Ayan, mother-in-law knows, you may not be able to believe this now, but today you are going back, mother-in-law must say these words to you." Granny Yue paused, took a deep breath, squeezed Zheng Wanyan's hand, and continued

"For fourteen years, your father has never asked you, and you are left to fend for yourself here, and he knows that I am your mother's loyal servant, and even if I can't keep you safe and clothed, I will definitely not let you die in a foreign land. Less than three months after your mother went, he married the eldest princess Zhong Liruo, the sister of the current emperor, and gave birth to the second daughter the following year, that is, your half-father's sister Zheng Xiyan, and five years ago gave birth to the eldest son Zheng Xiao, because the birth hurt the body, and can not have children in the future, your father also knows that since he married the eldest princess, he must not be able to take concubines like ordinary men, therefore, the two children and their doting, plus the two children are the nephews of today's saints, and the status is even more noble. Although you are the eldest daughter, but your biological mother has passed away, leaving the prime minister's mansion for 14 years, this time to return home, it will be difficult, you must remember, do not come out in trouble, you must know to hide clumsy. Do you understand? Thinking of the eldest lady she had loved in the palm of her hand for fourteen years, and what she was about to face when she returned home, Granny Yue said and said, tears fell.

Zheng Wanyan saw that her mother-in-law said so solemnly, analyzed the pros and cons of her, and knew everything in her heart, although she had a trace of affection for her father, but she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, she didn't care about it for 14 years, why did she suddenly reply to her, aren't you afraid that she will be her father and brother?

She gently wiped away Granny Yue's tears and snuggled on Granny Yue's shoulder, "Mother-in-law, Ayan understands, Ayan knows, I can't help it when I leave, and now when I go back, I can't help it, Ayan will be careful to protect herself, and she will not deliberately come out, no matter where she is, Ayan just wants to live in peace with her mother-in-law." ”

"Ayan, from today on, you are the master, I am the servant, in the future, you can no longer be tired of being with your mother-in-law like this, and people will say that you are not inferior when you are seen."

"Ah Yan understands." Yes, after going back, I can no longer hold my mother-in-law's hand like this, and I will never have the opportunity to go down to the river to fish and go up the mountain to hunt rabbits.

"Is anyone there?" There was a knock at the door, and when she heard the voice, Granny Yue pulled Zheng Wanyan up and said, "Ayan, go into your boudoir, and later your mother-in-law will come in and call you, and you will come out again, remember your mother-in-law's words." With that, he turned around and went out to open the door.

"It's coming, it's coming." Granny Yue opened the door and went out, only to see two luxurious carriages, parked on the road by the door, with a big wooden sign with Zheng characters hanging on the horse, and twelve guards guarding the carriage. A woman dressed as a grandmother stood at the door with two girls who were about twelve or thirteen years old, and they were also dressed up so exquisitely that they knew at a glance that they were girls from a large family.

"Is it Mama Zhu?" Granny Yue asked politely.

"Exactly, this is the moon mother-in-law who serves the eldest lady, right?" Mama Zhu smiled, took Granny Yue's hand, and walked into the yard affectionately.

"Granny Yue, the slave was ordered by the Xiangye and Mrs. to pick up our eldest lady back to the house, these years, Xiangye and Mrs. also miss the eldest lady very much, but Xiangshi said that I have to believe it, Xiangye and Mrs. can only hide the feelings of longing in their hearts, this is not, a few years ago, Xiangye found a Taoist scholar, asked the eldest lady's life to crack the method, now I have eyebrows, hurry up and let me pick up the eldest lady back to Beijing, so enjoy the joy of family, even the two girls carefully selected by the lady, I brought them together, I'm waiting for our eldest lady along the way. ”

Sure enough, it was someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and in a few words, he explained the whole story clearly, and the words were so satisfactory that Ah Yan just wanted to complain about something, and there was no reason. Although Granny Yue was dissatisfied with this set of rhetoric in her heart, she remained silent on her face.

"Mama Zhu, please sit down, rough place, there is no good tea, you will drink it." Granny Yue handed the tea she had made earlier to Mama Zhu, and she sat on the chair next to her.

"What Mama Zhu said is that when the old slave led the eldest lady to this countryside, although she couldn't let the eldest lady be clothed and fed, she didn't dare to forget the identity of the eldest lady, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting never fell behind, thinking that the princess loved her and always took her back to the house, but she couldn't lose the face of the prime minister's house." Granny Yue touched her tears. Since the eldest princess sent her confidants, she must also inquire about Ayan's situation in advance, and Granny Yue thought in her heart that although it would inevitably be difficult to go back, she must not make people laugh at the eldest lady for being an ignorant village girl, and some words must be passed back through Mama Zhu first.

"That's exactly what Granny Moon said. Eh, I've been talking about it for so long, why don't you see the eldest lady. Mama Zhu looked around and asked.

Granny Yue stood up and said, "The eldest lady is practicing calligraphy in the room at the moment, please wait a while, I will go in and ask the eldest lady to come out." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards Zheng Wanyan's boudoir.

"Miss, Mama Zhu from the Prime Minister's Mansion is here, take you back to the house, you are in the main hall at the moment, please come out and see you." Granny Yue stood at the door and said respectfully. There is no intimacy between the words at all.

Wanyan in the house suppressed the discomfort in her heart, tidied up her clothes and hair and walked out of the boudoir, and came to the main hall with Granny Yue.

"Old slave / slave maid, I've seen the eldest lady, the eldest lady Wan'an." Seeing Zheng Wanyan coming to the main hall with elegant steps, Mama Zhu and the two maids hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down to Zheng Wanyan.

"Mama Zhu, please get up." Zheng Wanyan walked over and helped Mama Zhu up.

Although I don't know what this grandmother thinks about her, the people around her father have come all the way to pick her up, and the kung fu on the face still has to be done.

"Miss, the old slave is here to pick you up." Mama Zhu bowed slightly, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, although the eldest lady was raised in the countryside, but it was a very symbolic of her appearance, beautiful complexion, elegant bearing, although her skin was not fair enough, she wanted to go back and forth to Kyoto to recuperate, and in another year or two, she would grow up, and she would be shocked. The etiquette is also full of young lady posture, it seems that Granny Yue has not bothered much, I don't know what this temperament is.

"Mama is an old man next to my father, so you don't have to be polite. Granny Yue has already told me, but it is late today, Mama Zhu is very tired from running all the way, Wanyan really can't bear it, why don't you rest in Qingxin Garden for one night, how about setting off early tomorrow morning? ”

"Miss Xie cares, the eldest lady is in charge, the old lady ordered the old slave to bring some clothes and jewelry and two maids to serve you, let them serve you, Xia He and Dongxue, come to see the eldest lady." Granny Yue waved her hand and beckoned the two maids to step forward.

"The slave has seen the eldest lady, the eldest lady Wan'an." Two twelve or thirteen-year-old girls timidly saluted Zheng Wanyan.

"Excuse me, I'm a little tired, Granny Yue, you entertain Mama Zhu, you take things and come with me to serve me." With that, he turned and went back into the house.

Early the next morning, under the service of the two maids, Zheng Wanyan changed into a set of pink skirts, touched the high-quality fabric, and looked at the exquisite makeup in the mirror, she had to sigh in her heart, sure enough, people rely on clothes, it turns out that her face is so beautiful.

After breakfast, Zheng Wanyan got into the carriage back to Beijing, and through the window of the carriage, watching the familiar scenery gradually disappear, Zheng Wanyan silently lowered her head.

No one knows what the future road will be, and what people and things will be encountered, and what she doesn't know is that the man she met by chance two months ago is also waiting for her return in Kyoto.
