Chapter 70: Bow Tournament
Early the next morning, Yu Yan freshened up and dressed up, and Steward Xu also loaded the purchased things into the carriage according to Yu Yan's instructions.
Steward Xu sent Yu Yan out of the house, and Yu Yan asked Steward Xu, "Where is Father?" ”
"I went to the morning court early in the morning, and the general said that he wouldn't go back to the house for lunch."
"What are some small moves in the Chunwei Courtyard?"
"That's not true, Aunt Xiao went to ask the general for peace at breakfast, but she just accompanied her to eat a rebellion, and the general was in a hurry to go to the morning court, and Aunt Xiao didn't say anything."
"Well, well, show them to me, I will let some of the guards stay in the palace to watch, and if there is anything, go to the princess's mansion to find me."
"Yes, Miss, the slave knows."
Yu Yan left the General's Mansion and got into the carriage, all the way Yu Yan smiled and waited happily to see Meng Shunan.
After arriving at the princess's mansion, Meng Shunan had not yet arrived, so she went to her aunt to say goodbye first.
"Madam, my cousin is here."
The maidservant called, Gongsun Xin got up and looked out with a smile, and ran to the house when she saw Yu Yan jumping around.
"Slow down, look at you, this girl is not serious, where does it look like a lady." Gongsun Xin covered her mouth and smiled, as if she was disgusted, but she liked it very much, she also wanted a daughter, but she was stunned to give birth to three sons, and she didn't see the shadow of half a daughter.
No, Yu Yan's size is regarded by Gongsun Xin as her own daughter, rare to death, and beloved to death.
"Aunt Ci'an, my sister-in-law has come to see you." Yu Yan staggered to Gongsun Xin, and greeted Gongsun Xin with a small mouth as if she had been smeared with honey, which made Gongsun Xin like it even more.
"You, you will say a nice coaxing aunt, where are you coming to see your aunt, you clearly know that the sister of the Meng family has entered Beijing and came to play with her."
Gongsun Xin smiled and poked Yu Yan's head, then pulled Yu Yan into the house to talk, and Yu Yan was embarrassed to follow Gongsun Xin into the house.
"Uncle, if you don't take you like this, how can you still expose your niece's shortcomings!"
Entering the house, the two chatted casually, Gongsun Xin mostly asked about Yu Yan's situation in the General's Mansion these days, and she was not worried that this girl would be bullied!
Unless people make it clear that they want to oppose Yu Yan and blatantly bully Yu Yan in public, otherwise, it is not easy for the Lan family to interfere in the family affairs of the General's Mansion.
"Your father returned to Beijing yesterday, didn't he?"
"Well, yes, I'm back, he doesn't know anything about me, but after I told him, he was a little distressed, but he was busy with the affairs of the court, and didn't talk to me more.
"Well, that's good, you have to be more careful in the General's Mansion, people's hearts, that's impossible to prevent, although you are harmless to people's hearts, you can prevent people's hearts indispensable!"
"Yes, thank you aunt for your love, you said, my sister-in-law will write it down."
"After finishing the current matter, your uncle and I should go back, you are alone in the capital, my uncle is really not at ease, otherwise, you can go back with us!"
"That's not good, I'm a dignified general's grandson, I don't live in my own house, but go to my grandfather and grandmother, it's not appropriate, if it is passed out, maybe I have to spread something! When the time comes, there will be people who will talk nonsense, saying that my father and my grandfather are not in harmony, and even my granddaughter will have to be taken away, how bad it is, maybe there will be some kind of chaos! ”
Gongsun Xin smiled and nodded, she seemed to be very pleased, she didn't expect this child to be so sensible and take care of the overall situation.
"Besides, if I leave and go to my grandfather's, won't this Xiao clan want to dominate the General's Mansion? I'm afraid that even my mother's courtyard will be easily demolished, I can't give her this opportunity, I will stay in the general's mansion and be angry with her. ”
"Then you have to be very careful, don't be careless, that woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
"I'm not a vegetarian either, don't worry, aunt."
It was almost noon, Meng Shunan finally came, Yu Yan and Gongsun Xin hurriedly had lunch, after lunch, the sisters chatted endlessly in the flower hall, this chat was several hours, it was dark, and Yu Yan had to use dinner to return.
After dinner, Yu Yan also chatted with Meng Shunan, Gongsun Xin was embarrassed to see it, the Meng family girl was tired of traveling, and she had not rested after entering Beijing, so she had been accompanying Yu Yan.
"Sister, okay, your sister Meng is not going back tomorrow, look at you, it's all this time, and it won't be stopped, let Shunan have a good rest, if you are reluctant, you will live here for a few days, just three days later, you two will go together, and someone will go to your father later, just say that you will live in the princess's mansion for a while."
"Bow Tournament! It must be fun! Where's it? When, who compares with whom! ”
Yu Yan said with a smile, but her words made Gongsun Xin stunned, "What?" You don't know? Impossible! You didn't receive the prince's post? ”
Yu Yan listened, what is the situation! It turns out that the post of the prince received by his father the first day is about this bowing competition?
"I received it in the house, but my father didn't say it, yesterday Steward He personally handed it over to my father, and I heard Steward He say that it was a post sent by His Royal Highness the Prince, but I asked my father, but my father said that it had nothing to do with me, aunt, what's going on?"
Gongsun Xin hurriedly glanced at the maidservant, and the maid went to bring the same post, handed it to Yu Yan, and Yu Yan looked at it, and the above probably means that the queen mother organized a bow competition, which is a competition between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the princes and the princes of the family.
The invitee on Gongsun Xin's post reads 'Dingshan Mansion Thorn Shilan Mansion', Meng Shunan also took the post from the handmaid next to her and handed it to Yu Yan, "I also received it, that's why I entered Beijing." ”
Yu Yan looked at Meng Shunan's posts with the same content, and the invitees were 'Weiyuan Mansion Zhongyong Marquis Meng Mansion'.
"The meaning of this post is that anyone in this house can go?" Yu Yan asked as she looked down at the two posts.
"It's not counted, the main thing is to be the most qualified, whether it is a woman or a man, if it is a concubine to go, it depends on the meaning of the housewife, of course, there are also the concubines of the family who are well-behaved and obedient, do not cause trouble, do not fight or rob, the housewife in the house will let go with the concubine, for example, Lord Zhang of Weiyuan Mansion, the daughter of his family, the mother of the master is kind-hearted, treat the concubine as her own, several concubines and concubines are also sensible and do not fight or rob, this time, we are in Beijing together, they all live in the house of relatives in Beijing."
Yu Yan looked at Meng Shunan, listening to what she had just said, and immediately understood why her father said that it had nothing to do with her, and it was estimated that he didn't want to let him go, and he just wanted that He Yucheng to go.
