Chapter 6: The first confrontation between the prime ministers

After 15 days of traveling, the carriage that took the lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion back to Beijing finally came to the gate of Kyoto, ignoring the line of ordinary people queuing up to enter the city, and the carriage of the Prime Minister went straight to the city gate.

"Zheng Xiangfu will take the eldest lady back to the house, please pass." The coachman took out the waist card representing the Prime Minister's Mansion, said loudly to the guards, and went straight into the city.

In fact, he didn't have to say the reason so loudly, who dared to stop the Xiangfu's vehicle, but in the morning, Mama Zhu explained that she needed to let Kyoto know that Mrs. Xiangye was kind-hearted, and she was not afraid that the eldest lady was a lone star, so she took it back to the Xiangfu to take care of it. Therefore, he said the reason loudly at the gate of the city, so that the people could spread the good reputation of Xiangye.

Sure enough, when the guards at the gate of the city and the people heard this, they all chatted privately.

"Didn't I hear that the daughter of the Prime Minister killed her mother when she was born, and the Xiangshi said that the sky is a lonely star, and she can't take it home to raise, how did the Xiangye take it back."

"Yes, yes, Xiangye is really kind-hearted, this eldest lady is almost over, I want to come back this time, I want to find a good marriage for this eldest daughter"

"But this day is a lonely star, who dares to marry, I am not afraid of the destruction of the family...... "Thinking about it, for a long time in the future, Zheng Wanyan's return will become the talk of the people of Kyoto after tea and dinner.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is located in one of the most prosperous areas of Kyoto, just two quarters of an hour from the Imperial Castle, but an hour from the city gates.

Towards evening, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion has arrived, welcome the eldest lady back home." As the carriage stopped, Mama Zhu's voice sounded outside the carriage.

Zheng Wanyan took a deep breath, let go of her clenched hand, looked down at her dress, made sure there was nothing wrong, and slowly got out of the carriage.

"Miss, the old slave has asked the guards to come back first to inform the Xiangye, and at this moment the Xiangye and Mrs. are already in the front hall, and the old slave will lead you to see the Xiangye and Mrs. first."

"Hmm!" Zheng Wanyan didn't say anything, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't nervous at this time.

After two teas, she finally came to the front of the main hall, and Zheng Wanyan lowered her head and slowly entered the main hall with Mama Zhu.

"The old slave asked Mrs. Xiangye to say goodbye, and the old slave was fortunate not to be dishonored and took the eldest lady back safely." Mama Zhu curtsied, her tone very respectful.

"Excuse me, Mama Zhu has worked hard, come here, reward." A deep male voice sounded, with the momentum of a long-time superior in his tone.

After finishing the words "Mrs. Xie Xiangye", Mama Zhu moved to the side.

"Wanyan has returned, I have seen my father, the eldest princess, may my father, the eldest princess, be happy and healthy." Zheng Wanyan bowed slightly, bowed her head and saluted, and did not raise her head to get up after speaking.

"Hurry up, my child." A pair of slender and white jade hands held Zheng Wanyan's hand and gently lifted her up. "Good boy, what is the name of the eldest princess, since I have married into the Zheng Mansion, I am the wife of the Zheng family, you are both the child of the Xiangye and my child, call me mother."

"Yes, Mother." Zheng Wanyan slowly got up, raised her head, showed a timid expression on her face, and looked at the eldest princess with tears in her eyes. "Mother, Wanyan finally has a child who is loved by her mother." When the words fell, the tears in her eyes slipped down instantly, and her hands were in the hands of the eldest princess, trembling slightly, looking at it made people feel pity.

"Well, okay, it's good to come back, it's good to come back, don't cry." Xiangye, who was sitting on the main seat, also seemed to be infected by the atmosphere, and there was a little more subtle tenderness in his tone.

"Yes, what the master said is, look at me, I'm happy and confused, come to Wanyan, this is your sister, Xiyan, this is your younger brother Xiao'er" The eldest princess took Zheng Wanyan's hand and walked towards a pair of sisters and brothers, only to see a little girl with beautiful eyes, looking twelve or thirteen years old, looking like the eldest princess between her eyebrows and eyes, looking at Zheng Wanyan with unabashed contempt. And the little boy is like a porcelain doll, four or five years old, wearing dark red brocade, and he is also a little similar to Xiangye, and he is looking at Zheng Wanyan very curiously.

"Xi'er Xiao'er, I haven't seen your big sister yet."

"I've seen big sisters," the two said in unison.

"Brother, sister, hello," Zheng Wanyan whispered. There was a hint of shyness in his tone.

"Big sister grew up in the countryside since she was a child, and now that she is back, you have to get along with your big sister, what is delicious and fun, and don't forget your big sister. You know? ”

"Yes," Zheng replied lazily. At this time, Zheng Xiao climbed down from the stool, walked to the eldest princess, pulled her sleeve and said, "Mother, is this the sister of the star that is scattered in the sky?" Xiao'er listened to the minions below say that she would harm others, is it true? Xiao'er was afraid. ”

Hearing Zheng Xiao's innocent words, Zheng Wanyan was stunned for a moment, quickly let go of the hand held by the eldest princess, and took a few steps back, with obvious panic in her steps. She lowered her head, her hands wringing her handkerchief, her shoulders shaking slightly and almost invisibly.

"Xiao'er, who is talking nonsense, there is no such thing." The eldest princess picked up Zheng Xiao and glared fiercely at the grandmother who was waiting beside him. "Xiao'er, don't be afraid, big sister's matter, your father already has a way to crack it, and our family will be safe and smooth in the future." Then he looked at Xiangye with a pleading look in his eyes.

"Okay, after running around for more than half a month, Wanyan should be tired too, go back to your yard to rest first." After hearing Zheng Xiao's words, Zheng Xiang's original gentleness had long been replaced by coldness.

"Yes, yes, Wanyan, your brother is still young, and he is unscrupulous, don't go to your heart, go back and rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." The eldest princess waved her hand and asked Mama Zhu to take Zheng Wanyan back to the courtyard.

"Yes, my daughter is leaving." There was a slight choked in the words, and from the moment Zheng Xiao finished saying that, Zheng Wanyan didn't raise her head again, and followed Mama Zhu to her new courtyard, Su Lanyuan.

"Miss, I heard that you are going back to your home, Mrs. specially renovated the Sulan Garden for you, although the Sulan Garden is far away from the main courtyard, it is very elegant and clean. I think you have been in the countryside for more than ten years, you will like this yard, in addition, in addition to Xia He, Dong Xue two second-class maids, according to the rules, your yard is also equipped with two second-class maids and five miscellaneous maids in the outer yard, first-class maids You can choose from these second-class maids, or you can talk to your wife, and then go to buy. Mama Zhu led the way and introduced to Zheng Wanyan, her tone was still respectful.

"Yes, Mother Xie is thoughtful, the person selected by my mother is naturally excellent, not to mention that after serving for half a month, Xia He and Dongxue are also very popular with me, these two girls are promoted to first-class maids, and they can serve closely. No more hassle. "After all, she has just returned to the house, and she doesn't know the situation in the house yet, and the eldest princess is also very good to her face. Zheng Wanyan thought to herself, even if she wants to cultivate her henchmen, she will wait until she finds out the situation of the Prime Minister's Mansion and can fully control her yard, and then think about this.

"Miss Xie appreciates" The two girls bowed in to thank them.

While speaking, the group arrived at the gate of Sulan Garden.

"Miss, this is Su Lanyuan, you rest early, and other matters may as well be arranged by the two girls Xia He and Dongxue. There was something else on Madame's side, and the old slave stepped back first. With that, he turned and left.
