Chapter 54: Yu Xianya
For the remaining two days, the weather was very good and the journey was smooth.
There was still less than a day away from Fengjing City, Xiao Mingwu and Jin Can had a rare unanimity of opinion after tearing their faces, and decided to stop and take a good rest, so that they could show the spirit of the Dian Kingdom when they entered Fengjing.
After the team stopped, Jin Can sent someone to take the road and introduce Fengjing City to report first.
Because he took into account that King Duan also accompanied the team, he specially instructed someone to go to King Duan's Mansion again.
Such an order naturally had to be known to Xiao Mingwu, Xiao Mingwu knew about Jin Can's decision, and scolded Jin Can as a snob.
You know, Jin Can has been very attentive in the past two days, and he always wants to say something to the little white-faced prince.
Fortunately, the king of Da Fengduan didn't pay much attention to him.
Fengjing, Duanwangfu.
Zhou Yimei sat in the flower hall, her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, although the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were very obvious, but it did not hinder her elegant temperament.
She happily beckoned the maid to make tea, and then beckoned the young woman sitting at the bottom, and said, "Yaya, it's hard for you, come to see me twice in three days." ”
This woman is Yu Xianya, she sits very well, has an elegant temperament, and there is a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, and teases: "Don't say that, concubine, Yaya is only afraid that she will come too often and delay the concubine's big event!" ”
No one in the capital knows who doesn't know, Duanwangfu Concubine Zhou's favorite leaf card, this leaf card is Zhou's business.
And although the Zhou family has a noble status, it is approachable, and the people who play cards with her go up to the eldest princess of the queen and the family members of the seven-rank petty officials.
Although the identity is hugely different, everyone has the same perception, that is, Zhou's card skills are very bad.
But Zhou's devouring cards are like life, there is no one at home to restrain them, and the leaf cards can be played from dawn to dark, and from dark to dawn.
As for anything else, it didn't seem to her to be serious.
Zhou Yimei smiled awkwardly, a little embarrassed, and wanted to take a sip of tea to cover up, but the tea had not yet come up.
She had no choice but to say: "Ahem, Yaya, my hobby is not good, don't learn my ability to be on the stage!" ”
Yu Xianya smiled lowly, and said: "Then you should also pay attention to your body, don't lose your play day and night." ”
"I know, I know, as long as Yaya you often come to see me, I don't want to hang out with them."
Yu Xianya didn't say anything when she heard this, although there was no smile on her face, it was not ugly, and Zhou Yimei realized what she said.
So he said hehe: "By the way, Yaya, two days ago I heard that the crane went upstairs and produced a new crispy duck, how about we go out to eat today?" ”
Yu Xianya had a smile on her face again, nodded, and said, "Listen to the concubine!" ”
Zhou Yimei stood up and said, "Then you wait for me, I'll clean up, and we'll go out." ”
Before Zhou Yimei walked from the flower garden to the inner room, he heard Steward Xie panting over.
"Concubine, concubine, happy event, great joy!"
Zhou Yimei stopped when he heard this, and saw Steward Xie, who was a little chubby, trotting into the house.
She frowned and said, "Steward Xie, you are a lot old, what other happy events can there be, could it be that your daughter-in-law has added a new daughter to you?" ”
Steward Xie was still red-faced, but when he heard Zhou Yimei's words, he was suddenly deflated.
Steward Xie is more than fifty years old this year, has two sons under his knees, and has always wanted to have another daughter, but he has been thinking about it for more than 20 years, but he has not thought about it, and he himself has no hope, which is regrettable.
Whenever others mentioned their daughter, Steward Xie felt sad.
But it couldn't compare to the concubine, and a knife poked him in the heart.
He stabilized his nerves, and then said: "Don't joke about the old boy, it's really a big joy, the prince, the prince will be back tomorrow!" ”
"Really?"
Zhou Yimei's eyes lit up.
It's not that she didn't expect her son to come back, it's that her son has been out for a few years, and she doesn't even know where he is, only a letter every few months lets her know that he's okay.
No, I haven't heard from her for more than half a year, if it weren't for Yu Xianya, a prospective daughter-in-law, who came to see her every once in a while, she was afraid that she would have forgotten that she still had a son.
But his eyes lit up for a moment, and then he darkened again, and his tone was quite unhappy!
"It's back when it's back, what a happy event!"
"Concubine!"
Steward Xie shouted, and his eyes turned to look at Yu Xianya.
Zhou Yimei understood, and saw Yu Xianya hanging her head and pursing her lips, holding a handkerchief in both hands and twisting it constantly.
She was also the daughter of the boudoir, so she didn't know what Yu Xianya was thinking.
At the same time, there was also a hint of apology in her heart, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and asked the housekeeper, "When will you be home tomorrow?" What about the messengers? ”
Steward Xie hurriedly said: "The person who reported the news is a person from the Dian Kingdom and the pro-team, and the prince happened to meet the Dian State and the pro-team in the rain on the way, so he returned to Beijing together, and he will be able to enter Beijing tomorrow afternoon." ”
Zhou Yimei nodded, waved his hand and motioned for Steward Xie to go down, but he entered the inner room.
After a while, he came out, holding a heavy dresser in his hand.
When Yu Xianya saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhou Yimei hug her, and said, "Concubine, what are you doing?" Just let the next person do these things. ”
Grandma Sun, who had been following Zhou Yimei, smiled and said, "Miss Yu doesn't know, the concubine is reluctant to let us move!" ”
Before Yu Xianya could take over, Zhou Yimei had already put the box in her hand on the table and opened it.
Jeweled, Yu Xianya only felt that her eyes were going to be shook.
The jade bracelet with a good water head in the box, Yingluo, and the head of the jewelry are full of all of a sudden.
Yu Xianya is the daughter of the secretary of the military department, and the family conditions are needless to say.
It's just that it can't compare to the Wang Duan Mansion with a different surname that has existed since the beginning of this dynasty, not to mention that Zhou Yimei herself is also the daughter of the loyal and brave marquis.
Zhou Yimei rummaged through the box, found a purple jade Yingluo and compared it to Yu Xianya, only feeling very satisfied.
He stuffed Yingluo into Yu Xianya's hand, and held her hand tightly and said: "Yaya, Linyuan will come back tomorrow, I know he can't stop you, you are a good boy, tomorrow, tomorrow you will go to the Ten Mile Pavilion to pick him up!" ”
As he spoke, he looked Yu Xianya up and down again, and said with great satisfaction: "Our Yaya is really slim now, let that stinky boy see it tomorrow, and he will be fascinated so that he doesn't know the south, south, west, and north!" ”
Yu Xianya smiled shyly, although Jingzhong knew that Duanwang Concubine Zhou had behaved more and more perversely and did not follow the etiquette law since the death of Duanwang, but she felt that there was nothing wrong with it, at least she was sincere and treated her like her own daughter.
However, in the face of the ridicule of her future mother-in-law, Yu Xianya was still a little uncomfortable.
Faintly, there is also some expectation in my heart.
