About halfway through the carriage, the sky began to darken again, which had finally cleared up. It didn't take long for the snow to start falling.

Listening to the sound of children frolicking outside the sedan chair, Ye Yufu opened the curtain curiously and saw this scene of snow falling in the sky.

Xue'er also listened to the movement, came to Ye Yufu's side, and when she saw the snow outside, she hurriedly said excitedly: "The princess is so good!" It's snowing. It's a pity that the slaves didn't see the snow a few days ago. ”

Ye Yufu chuckled and looked at the white snow outside the window and muttered, "This year, there is really a lot of snow in Beijing. ”

"Yes, princess. The snow from the last time has not been cleared, and there is a new one that can't be cleared. ”

Yan'er also came over at this time and covered her shiny hands: "It's really cold this year, and there is still a cold wind pouring into it while sitting in this sedan chair." It didn't take long for my hands to get hot and it was cold again. ”

Not long after the curtain opened, the mat under the window was covered with a thin layer of white by the snowflakes that were drifting outside. Ye Yufu also felt a cool breeze pouring into her neck, and just as she wanted to close the curtain, Yu Baiyi rode from behind the sedan chair to the window.

Yu Baiyi rode a black horse with shiny fur, wearing the black cloak that Ye Yufu gave him, a thin layer of snow fell on his hair, and there was a lot of snow on his shoulders, the tips of his ears were red from the cold, but his voice was still loud: "Your Royal Highness Princess, what is the matter with lifting the curtain." ”

Ye Yufu shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just that it's snowing, so I just look twice." May I ask how long it will take for the general to arrive at Shangshu Mansion? ”

Yu Baiyi exhaled white breath in his mouth, looked at the road ahead and said, "Originally, it was almost there, but this snow is falling very much now, and it will be delayed for a while." ”

"Don't worry, just walk slowly, by the way, Yan'er hurriedly poured hot tea for General Yu, there should be left to drink."

Yu Baiyi took the hot tea handed by Yan'er with one hand, and the tea slowly flowed down his throat into his stomach, and his body gradually warmed up. When drinking tea, Yu Baiyi looked at Ye Yufu with one eye.

And Ye Yufu also looked at him with a smile, and saw that he finished drinking and took the cup: "The general's body should be a lot warmer now." ”

The carriage traveled for about half an hour, and before the snow had yet to accumulate, Ye Yufu and his party saw the large plaque of Shangshu Mansion.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the people inside came out to meet him.

Yan'er Xue'er and the two got off the sedan chair first, and then helped Ye Yufu to get out of the carriage.

As soon as Ye Yufu got off the sedan chair, she saw several people standing at the gate of Shangshu Mansion. Seeing Ye Yufudu, he knelt down and bowed and said, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Wanfu Jin'an." ”

"Get up! It's all your own family, so why be polite. ”

At the gate of Shangshu Mansion, Mrs. Cui, Shangshu, got up on crutches and saw Ye Yufu get off the sedan chair and hurriedly stepped forward, not caring about the inconvenience of her legs and feet.

Ye Yufu was also excited when she saw her grandmother, and saw Cui's crutches and hurriedly went over to help: "Grandmother! You have inconvenient legs, and now it's snowing again, why do you stand at this door? ”

Cui's name is Cui Zhen, and she is the younger sister of Cui Cheng of Cui Shaofu. The second wife of Song Mingqing, after the first wife of Song Mingqing died in childbirth forty years ago, she resolutely married Song Mingqing despite the opposition of the family.

Over the years, the husband and wife have also been in deep love. He gave birth to a son and two daughters.

And Cui Zhen's favorite is the youngest daughter Song Wei. But this entrance to the palace is as deep as the sea, so the mother and daughter have not been able to see each other for a long time, plus Song Mingqing's health has become worse and worse over the years, Cui Zhen has to take care of it from time to time, and he has no time to enter the palace.

Although Cui Zhen is old, his temperament is still noble, and his wrinkled face can vaguely see the beauty of his youth.

She held Ye Yufu's hands tightly, looked at her granddaughter who had grown up, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

After wiping away her tears, she said, "Fu'er, it's cold, hurry up and follow your grandmother into the house." Your aunt and uncle are waiting in the house. ”

Ye Yufu also had tears rolling in her eyes, and Cui Shi instructed a few servants to pack the luggage on the carriage. I saw Yu Baiyi, who had been standing next to the carriage.

"This is the eldest son of the Yu family, General Yu Baiyi, please come in quickly. The guest rooms in the house have been prepared, so I will stay for two days. ”

Yu Baiyi nodded respectfully after hearing this, and then looked at Ye Yufu, who was sad.

The Song Mansion has been built for 100 years, and many of the furniture in the house are precious antiques of many years.

As soon as Ye Yufu stepped into the main hall, he saw that his uncle's family was there, and when he saw Ye Yufu coming, he also knelt down and saluted.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Haifu Jin'an!"

Cui Shi looked at Ye Yufu with a loving face: "Fu'er is her own family, you don't need so many courtesies, just hurry up." ”

"Yes, it's the princess and it's her own family." It was Ye Yufu's aunt Han who spoke.

On the side, Ye Yufu's uncle, Song Chen, who is also Song Mingqing's eldest son, glared at Han. stepped forward with a smile: "Fu'er, the last time we met was more than ten years ago, when you were still a little baby, do you remember that I hugged you?" ”

Ye Yufu lowered her head and smiled lightly, while Cui Shi on the side frowned and said to Song Chen: "How old was Fu'er at that time, and there was a memory." ”

Song Chen reacted before patting his head: "Yes, yes." It's my uncle who is confused. ”

Ye Yufu saw a girl of the same age as herself behind Song Chen at this time.

The girl was dressed in a gray-blue dress, with only a wooden hairpin on her head, and she looked very thin. A pair of watery eyes did not raise to look at Ye Yufu secretly. When he was discovered, he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word.

Ye Yufu asked Song Chen curiously: "Who is this sister in the back?" ”

Song Chen heard Ye Yufu ask, and hurriedly turned his head and frowned at Han's envoy. When Han saw this, he quietly moved his steps and pushed the girl from behind.

The girl couldn't shirk it, so she had to lower her head and move slowly to Ye Yufu, her voice as small as a mosquito: "Princess... Your Highness. ”

Song Chen saw her squirming like this, and just wanted to reprimand Ye Yufu, but spoke first: "I guess my sister should be my uncle's daughter-in-law." ”

"How do you know?" When she finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong, blushed and lowered her head.

Ye Yufu tilted her head: "I heard my mother talk about it, and I also know my sister's name, you are called Song Jing, I am right." ”

Song Jing hadn't spoken yet, but Song Chen was the first to speak: "Let the princess laugh." The little girl is not sensible. ”

After speaking, he ordered Song Jing in a low voice, "Don't hurry up yet." ”

Song Jing listened and hurriedly lowered her head again, and silently walked to the corner again.

Ye Yufu was a little unhappy at the moment, but just shouted at Song Chen.

"Grandmother, take me to see how my grandfather is doing."

Song Mingqing was half-leaning on the collapse at the moment and was holding a book to read, and as soon as Cui saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Master, why don't you have a good rest." ”

Although Song Mingqing is old, his voice is still strong: "I have nothing to do lying on the collapse all day long, so I might as well read a few more books." ”

Cui Shi said helplessly, "Whatever you want, whatever you want." By the way, sir, look who's coming. ”

As soon as Song Mingqing turned his head, he saw Ye Yufu standing at the door. He sat up and narrowed his eyes, which were not very clear. After a while, Fang said: "Fu'er is here." ”

Ye Yufu stepped forward and asked worriedly: "Grandfather, you are still in good health today." ”

Song Mingqing said with a smile: "Comfortable and comfortable, my granddaughters have come out of the palace to see me." Can I be in bad health? ”

Cui Shi also said: "Your grandfather has been in good spirits for several days when he heard that you were coming. ”

The three ancestors and grandchildren said a word, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.

At dinner, the sumptuous dishes on the table made Ye Yufu unable to see it.

At the dinner table, there were a few more fresh faces that Ye Yufu had never seen.

After some introduction, Ye Yufu knew that Song Chen had two aunts and wives in addition to Mrs. Han.

The eldest aunt married into the Song family with the Han family, and she looked a little inferior to the Han family, and she was also a gentle person, and she had no heirs under her knees, and she was not as enthusiastic as the Han family when she saw Song Wei.

The second aunt looks like she is in her early thirties, and she looks quite beautiful. Seeing that Ye Yufu was even more enthusiastic, she vigorously picked up dishes at the dinner table.

The second aunt's son and two daughters are also there, the son's name is Song Bao, who has just come out of the full moon and was held in the arms of the second aunt, and the eldest daughter is the same age as Ye Yufu, named Song Yue. The dress is very gorgeous, and the beads on the head are blinded.

The second daughter's name is Song Lan, who is about eight or nine years old and has two buns, which is quite cute.

And Han's son, who is Song Chen's sister-in-law, is no longer at home when he goes out, and his daughter-in-law is Song Jing who he saw during the day.

After a meal, Cui Shi saw that Ye Yufu was already tired and her voice was much quieter, so he hurriedly asked her to go back to her room to rest.

The room that Cui's prepared for Ye Yufu was quite simple and gorgeous, and there were some things that could not be seen in the palace.

As soon as she saw Ye Yufu coming back, Yan'er hurriedly came: "The princess is back, are you very tired today." ”

Ye Yufu moved her shoulders and said weakly: "No, I've been tired all day today, Yan'er, you come and rub my shoulders." ”

Yan'er rubbed her sour shoulders, while Ye Yufu closed her eyes and enjoyed: "Princess, you plan to stay here for a few days before returning to the palace." ”

Ye Yufu thought for a while and said, "About three to five days, today I see that my grandfather is in good health, so I don't have to stay here for a long time." ”

Yan'er tilted her head: "The slave maid thinks that the people in this mansion are very enthusiastic about the princess." ”

"I always feel that there are a lot of intrigues among the people of the Song Mansion."

Yan'er asked suspiciously, "Did the princess see anything?" ”

"Sort of, but after all, this is a family affair of my uncle's family, and I don't have a position to take care of it. It's just that looking at Song Jing's appearance today makes me feel a little uncomfortable. ”

Early the next morning, because he was not in the palace, he didn't have to get up early to say goodbye, but Ye Yufu still got up early because of her habit on weekdays. Looking at the sun outside, the sky is also exceptionally warm. I suddenly remembered that I was too busy yesterday to have time, thank you Yu Baiyi.

I asked the maid in the house and learned the location of the guest room where Yu Baiyi lived. So he went with the smoke.
