On February 26, I walked from Luoyang City, because it was a return trip, and there was no stop on the way except for accommodation, and I arrived in Chang'an two days later.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of the Wei Wangfu at nightfall, and several chief stewards and stewards received the news half an hour in advance, and several big maids and three monks who were on errands in the palace were waiting in front of the door to greet people.

After going out for more than ten days, as soon as she stepped into the palace gate, Yu Fang felt tired from the journey, and Pingtong Pinghui waited for her to freshen up and use tea, and reported some matters by the way, such as how the Cheng family's marriage was prepared, how the business of Wuliu Pharmacy was, and so on.

"Is the old lady back?"

"Not yet, but the day before yesterday, someone was sent to deliver the letter first, that is, it will be back in two days, and Manager Liu sent a few people across the river to pick it up."

"Okay."

Yi Yu was relieved, and after bathing, he went to bed and lay down, originally waiting for Li Tai to return to the room, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep.

On the first day of the first month of March, Shuowang was in the early morning, and the jade sent Li Tai out in the early morning, and returned to the courtyard, so he called Liu Niansui and Sun Delai to ask a few people to the Jade Courtyard, and there will be a year of experience in handling affairs, and she is handy, and it took half an hour to ask all the questions that should be heard, and all the instructions that should be explained, so that they can go back to do things.

Chen Qu and Lu Dong stayed, and the former stepped forward and said:

"Master, the weather is getting warmer, the clothes for the next season should be made, the jewelry accessories should also be new, the clothing bureau and the goldsmith have finished the album, you see if you choose one now, so that they can prepare in advance."

In the past half a year, he has been in charge of the internal affairs of the palace, Chen Qu can be said to have changed his temperament greatly, getting rid of the original small family spirit, and having more of the down-and-out generosity of the maids of large families, wearing a well-fitting shirt and long skirt, combing a neat maid hairstyle, folding his hands on his abdomen, his shoulders are slightly bent, looking at the jade, the respect in his eyes is real.

Yiyu sat cross-legged on a short couch with a goose yellow background and a red silk edging coat, with a high bun on his head, a pair of white hosta flowers flying obliquely, the sideburns were smooth, the moon eyebrows were swept, and the thin powder was meticulously blurred, which did not conform to the current trend of Beijing women dressing gorgeously.

"Let's wait for two days, wait for the old lady to come back to Beijing and pick it again, and let them do it together at that time, so as not to find another tailor in the change of season, and the trouble will be tight."

It is not a new thing for a daughter to make clothes and decorations for her mother's family, but it also depends on how big her face is, otherwise just gossip can drown people.

The women in the palace of the king of Wei are obviously the only ones in the Yuyu family, not to mention the descendants who came to marry, under the generous rewards of the Yuyu from time to time, they are the original subordinates in the palace, and they all know that the princess has a rich dowry, and she is a master who does not lack private houses, Li Tai is very strict under the rule, and no one dares to chew the root of the tongue behind his back.

"Yes, the slave went down to work."

"Go ahead."

Chen Qu bowed and retreated, and Yi Yu looked at Lu Dong, who was still standing there, and asked, "What else is going on?" ”

Lu Dong hesitated forward, "Princess Bing, the old lady sent someone to deliver the letter the day before yesterday, the little one heard that Mrs. Tai sent the dog Lu Xiao with him this time, and wanted to follow him to Beijing, he is seventeen years old this year, and he has not yet married a family, although he is not clever enough, but it is rare to be honest and obedient, the little one wants to ask for a favor in front of you, find him an errand, and ask the princess to call the shots." ”

Yiyu had heard of Lu Dong's family affairs, he lost his wife at an early age, so he did not remarry, and only one son was given the name Lu Xiao by Old Man Lu during his lifetime, and he was considered a slave in the family.

When Lu Jingshan and his wife came to Beijing, Lu Xiao was left in Yangzhou, Lu Dong was her cronies, and he was in charge of her private property and accounts, and his loyalty was undoubted.

"I have two errands here, one is to stay in the palace like you, and the deed is placed here with me, and he does a single errand for the procurement of a kitchen, you are in charge of the accounts, and you know that the procurement in this palace is a fat poor, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Second, it is to go to the second son and give him the deed, it just so happens that he lacks a coachman to go out to run errands, this errand must be much harder, but it is better to see the world more, you can choose one for him. ”

After listening to her, Lu Dong's face was already full of joy, he didn't know that Lu Jun had a future, and now it is rare to have just started a family, and there is a living example of Ah Sheng in front of him, and this groom running errands may have a bigger face in the future than being the manager.

Kneeling down, he bowed to the jade and said gratefully:

"Thank you for the promotion, the younger one chooses the second one."

Yi Yu nodded with satisfaction, "I will tell the second son in the past two days, when Lu Xiao arrives and your father and son have seen it, you will send him directly to the new house." ”

"Yes, the little one."

Lu Dong left happily, Yi Yu picked up the account on the table, looked at it roughly, saw that it was still early, and was about to send someone to Cheng Mansion to ask, Cheng Xiaofeng came to the door.

Before she could sit down at the door, she began to complain:

"Really, you go to Luoyang to play, why don't you even say hello to me, it's so unjust."

Yiyu asked the maid to watch the tea, looked at Miss Cheng, who was dressed in a trendy hufu and combed a man's hair bun, and had no consciousness of the bride to be married, caught a glimpse of the horsewhip in her hand, knew that she must have ridden out again, frowned, and said:

"When has this been, why aren't you keeping it at home, what are you running around?"

Cheng Xiaofeng pursed his lips and said resentfully:

"You don't know how closely my mother has watched me for half a month, if she hadn't said that she was going to come to you, she wouldn't let me go out, I was detained all day long, tired and guilty, I was going to be annoyed to death, tell you, I don't want to be this kiss."

knows how big her playfulness is, but she is afraid that she will change her mind temporarily, and Yu Yu glared:

"What nonsense, the sixth day of the first month is a happy day, if you don't get married, even if Lord Qi agrees, your mother will also pick your skin."

Cheng Xiaofeng stuck out her tongue, left the guest seat, squeezed her short couch, put her arms around her shoulders, leaned her head over, and said with a smile:

"I'm talking about playing, if I don't get married, won't my sins these days be in vain?"

Yi Yu smelled her sweaty, pushed her head away, and said angrily: "Say this kind of brainless words again, beware of me telling your mother to go." ”

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, you will scare me with my mother, I've been very honest lately, I have something to say when I came to you today," Cheng Xiaofeng patted her on the shoulder, guess who I slipped out the morning before yesterday and saw on the street? ”

"Sneak out? What are you doing? Yu Yu's voice rose in a warning way.

"Ahem," Cheng Xiaofeng coughed dryly twice, and hurriedly interrupted, "Can you listen to me, the key is not what I do, but who I saw?" ”

Yi Yu thought that she would write a letter and send someone to remind Mrs. Cheng later, so that she could watch Cheng Xiaofeng in the last few days, so as not to cause trouble before her marriage, and asked casually:

"Who do you see?"

Cheng Xiaofeng smiled proudly, it was rare to have the heart to glance at the maid in the house, and when she saw that she had no eyes, she approached Yi Yu's ear and snickered:

"I was on West Changmen Street, and I saw Lu Jun's kid with Lu An."

After speaking, she didn't look at Yi Yu's reaction at the moment, touched her chin, and continued: "I secretly followed them for a while, and saw the two of them entering the flower market with a smile, alas, don't say that Lu Jun's kid is not fine, but he can still make other little girls smile, hehe, it's not simple." ”

Yi Yu was stunned, and when she heard her words behind her, she came back to her senses, slapped Cheng Xiaofeng's thigh, heard her scream in pain, and asked repeatedly:

"Really? You're not mistaken? Is it the two of them together? Still going to the flower market? Talking and laughing? Yes? ”

Cheng Xiaofeng rubbed his thighs with his teeth, nodded, and affirmed: "How can I be wrong, it's the two of them, they are both acquaintances, and my eyes are very good." ”

Yi Yu hissed, sat up from the short couch, and walked back and forth in the hall, until Cheng Xiaofeng was dazzled by her, and then asked:

"What's wrong with you, aren't you happy, I see that Lu'an's little girl is good, she is not only the person who plays with us, but also close to you, Lu Jun really wants to look at her, it's also a good thing, aren't you worried about kissing him?"

"Who says I'm not happy?" Yi Yu stopped, looked back at her, raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "You go back first, let me probe the two of them, this matter is really going to be done, I will credit you." ”

Before Cheng Xiaofeng could get complacent, she was chased away by Yu Yu, and before going out, she didn't forget to warn her:

"I won't mention the day before yesterday when you ran away, you give me an honest home now, don't think about going to other places to play, I'll go to Aunt Cheng tomorrow if I'm fine, and let me hear that you ran around again, don't blame me for suing you."

Cheng Xiaofeng was sent away with a face full of resentment, and Yu Yu counted today's guard shifts, knowing that Lu Jun was resting in the afternoon, he turned his head and asked Yi Ning to call Yu Chenglai, go to the new house to send a message, and ask him to come in the afternoon.

Li Tai stayed in the office of the Literature Museum at noon, did not come back for dinner, and when he returned home in the evening, he noticed the excitement of Yiyu, and at the dinner table, he asked her:

"What's the good thing?"

Yi Yu knelt on the cushion, poured him a glass of wine, pursed his lips and nodded with a smile, anyway, he couldn't hide anything from him, and he didn't need to ask again, so he explained:

"Xiaofeng came to me in the morning, saying that she saw my second brother on the street a few days ago shopping with Miss Jin in the flower market, oh, it is the granddaughter of Dr. Jin, I found my second brother in the afternoon, you know that he has a straight temper, I didn't go around the corner, I asked him directly, he is indeed generous to admit, and he does like other young ladies."

"Speaking of which, the first time the two of them saw each other, it was during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, when we held a banquet in the palace, now that I think about it, my second brother was still a hero. Why didn't I notice the two of them? I thought, the Jin family is a scholarly family, and the door is suitable, I plan to discuss it with my mother after Xiaofeng gets married for a while, and then go to find out the woman's tone, if there is no problem, I will settle the matter as soon as possible. ”

The more Yi Yu said, the more he felt that these two people were suitable, although at first he felt a little uncomfortable treating Jin Lu'an's little girl as a sister-in-law, but it was rare that the two of them had a fate, and it was best to be able to fall in love, so I left it all behind.

"Jin Qide? The Jin family..."Li Tai pondered this portal, he didn't know what to think, his eyes flashed, and he nodded and agreed:

"Yes, indeed."
