After that, the trip did not stop, and rushed all the way north to Yongjing City at the most normal speed, and there were less than ten days before Prince Rui's birthday.

After entering the city, the Empress Dowager parted ways with the Hua family and her party, and went directly to the imperial city with Pinggu and some Yu Linwei, while Gonggong Cao led the Hua family to find a mansion that belonged to them.

The house is still the same as before, but the things in the house were removed when the conviction was confiscated, and now all the things in this house are newly rewarded by the emperor. The lintel on the house is no longer the former Marshal's Mansion, but has become the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong.

Hua Yaozong looked at the familiar and unfamiliar vermilion gate, and sighed with some emotion: "It is said that things are not people, but now things are not people, and people are not either." ”

When she learned that something had happened to the Hua family, Hua Qingyan's Niang Mei returned the deed of sale of the maid in the house, and sent everyone away one by one, leaving only Hua Biluo to take care of Hua Qingyan and the two children. The maids in the Marshal's Mansion are all good-natured, and they are also quick to work, and the top and bottom of the Marshal's Mansion have already become one, and they don't get along like masters and servants on weekdays, but like family.

Now the house is back, but those old people don't know where they are.

Father-in-law Cao smiled lightly on the side: "The Holy Lord has already sent someone to renovate the house, Hou Ye can rest assured, there will be no cats and dogs to make trouble."

As soon as Gonggong Cao's words fell, the door of the mansion, which was originally closed, suddenly opened, and many people rushed out of the door and lined up on both sides. They were all dressed as maids, and their attitudes were respectful and humble.

Hua Yaozong's expression was excited, and his gaze fell on the old man who was in the lead. Hua Qingyan looked over, the old man was not many years old, he should not be old, but his gray hair was meticulously combed. He didn't seem to like to laugh, but at the moment there was a smile on his face, and although he was a little stiff, he could still see that he was really happy.

Hua Qingyan searched for the memories in her mind, but found that this old man was the old housekeeper of their Hua family, the old man's surname was Gu, and he was an old-fashioned and unsmiling person in his memory, but he was particularly fond of their brothers and sisters, Hua Qingyan still remembered that when he was a child, he was carried by the Gu Guan's family around his neck and went to the market.

"Old Gu! It's really you! Hua Yaozong had already come back to his senses, and hurriedly greeted him and grabbed the hand of the ancient butler, "Is this year okay?" Did those people embarrass you? ”

Something happened to the Hua family, and the ancient housekeeper, as the housekeeper of the Hua family, had been busy in the Hua family for so many years, and those people naturally thought that he knew something, so they also arrested the ancient housekeeper. was arrested and put in the prison of the Criminal Department, and he was involved in such a big crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, how could the people of the Criminal Department treat him well if they want to make meritorious contributions! Butler Gu suffered a lot in prison.

Hua Yaozong naturally understood this, patted the ancient housekeeper's hand and said with red eyes: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

The ancient housekeeper was also very excited, and took a good look at Hua Yaozong, and his eyes swept over Hua Qingying and Hua Qingyan again, "You are still alive, which is my greatest comfort." Hurry up and get in, this house has been missing its owner for a long time. ”

The ancient steward withdrew his hand and stood sideways to expose the door, "Lord Hou, the prince, the county lord, welcome home!" ”

Hua Yaozong took a deep breath, he nodded towards the ancient butler, and took the lead in walking in. Hua Qingying and Hua Qingyan followed behind Hua Yaozong with a child in their arms. Before entering the door, Hua Qingyan glanced back again, and Yun Shumo happened to lift the curtain to look over. Yun Shumo nodded at Hua Qingyan and motioned for her to hurry in.

"Lord Wang, my master came back on the first day, so please forgive me for being inconvenient to meet guests!" The ancient butler bowed deeply towards Yun Shumo.

"This king understands." Yun Shumo said to Hua Qingyan again, "Cut it quickly, freshen up and rest, Yu Jiamin is still with you." ”

Hua Qingyan didn't say anything more, but the little Xi'er in her arms raised her hand to say goodbye to Yun Shumo: "Goodbye, uncle, I want to come and play!" ”

Yun Shumo was obviously amused by this little girl, and also stretched out his hand and waved: "Okay, I'll come to see Xiao Xi'er tomorrow." ”

"No, I'm here to see my aunt!" Xiao Xi'er corrected with a small face.

"Yes, I'm coming to see your aunt tomorrow."

This big and small conversation made Hua Qing blush, she glanced at Yun Shumo, and hurriedly hugged Xiao Xi'er and turned around and entered the house. After he couldn't see Hua Qingyan's figure, Yun Shumo retracted his gaze. The ancient housekeeper bowed to Yun Shumo again: "Thank you for taking care of us." ”

The ancient housekeeper knew that he was able to escape from the death of the criminal department, and it was all because of the help of Prince Rui, so the ancient housekeeper had special respect for Yun Shumo. And the emperor has given marriage to the prince and the lord of his family, which means that the prince will also be his own family in the future.

"It's a gesture." Yun Shumo waved his hand indifferently, and as his words fell, the carriage gradually moved, and the guard soon disappeared at the corner of the street.

This Hou Mansion was the former Shuai Mansion, and after the family entered the door, they were a little homesick, standing in front of the jade bi and hesitating. The two children had already been put down, and the children didn't understand those complicated emotions, so they ran away hand in hand as if they were happy. This is their familiar environment, the place of birth, and naturally it will not be strange.

But in the eyes of the three adults, this place is familiar and strange.

The Hua family is not a rich family, Hua Yaozong is at the border all the year round, and all the livelihood of the family depends on Mrs. Mei's own shop, so the Hua family lives quite frugally. The maintenance of the house is not very good. But the house in front of me is simply brand new, all the wooden structures have been painted, and they have been overhauled inside and out. The flowers and trees are also growing very well, and it is impossible to see that there has been no one living here for nearly a year, and no one has taken care of them.

"This ...... Is it really our former home? Hua Qingyan said.

"Miss, the royal people of the house have sent someone to repair it, and after recovering it, it was originally intended to be given to a certain official, but in the end, the acne and the strong came back to us." There was a smile in the voice of the ancient butler, "The courtyard has been taken care of, the prince of the Hou Ye and the county lord should rest early, and wait for a few days to rest, I'm afraid that our Hou Mansion will open its doors to welcome guests." ”

"Well, Steward Gu, everything in the house is handed over to you, and I will close the door for the next few days."

"Yes, Master Hou."

Hua Qingyan followed her memories to find the courtyard where she lived before, Huanting Courtyard.

The yard is large and elegant, planted with flowers and plants are well organized, there is a big lake in the yard, there is a stone bridge over the lake, and in the middle is a three-story embroidery building. Hua Qingyan led Yu Jiamin across the stone bridge to the door of the embroidery building.

"Miss, this embroidery building is so beautiful!" Yu Jiamin followed Hua Qingyan for a walk around and couldn't help but sigh.

The Hua family has such a daughter, Hua Qingyan, so it can be regarded as a thousand favors, and several people in the family want to give the best to Hua Qingyan. Therefore, this embroidery building is also the best place for the whole house.

The entire second floor of the embroidery building is Hua Qingyan's room, the first floor has two rooms, the other one is the study, and the other is the embroidery workshop. There are other rooms in the courtyard, and I don't live in the embroidery building. Yu Jiamin was not the maid of their Hua family, so Hua Qingyan arranged her in a small room on the first floor of the embroidery building. As for Mu Zilan, who came with them, she was arranged in the guest house by the ancient housekeeper.

The woman's guest house was close to Hua Qingyan's courtyard, which also made Mu Zilan feel at ease in an unfamiliar environment.

After noon, people came to the palace, and at the same time they sent a lot of rewards, they also sent the official uniforms of Hua Yaozong and Hua Qingying, as well as the court clothes of Hua Qingyan, the county lord.

The county lord's court dress is quite gorgeous, golden red, and the pattern is actually a phoenix wearing a peony. I heard that it is the best embroidery girl in the palace to catch up, spring, summer, autumn and winter have a set for each season, from the fabric and embroidery, it is enough to prove that the imperial court attaches great importance to Hua Qingyan, the county lord.

Hua Qingyan shook off the four court clothes and spread them on the bed, "It's very good-looking, it's just too gorgeous, this color looks like a wedding dress." ”

"The golden-red one is the most noble color in the county lord's court clothes, and the princess's court clothes are also this color." Yu Jiamin explained, "This court dress should have been arranged by the Empress Dowager, and the court did not object, which is enough to see that they attach great importance to you and our Hua family." ”

"Actually, it's still for the sake of your lord's face!" Hua Qingyan squinted and quipped.

Yu Jiamin smiled and said nothing, and neatly folded the court clothes and put them in the wardrobe on the side, "This court dress will come in handy in a few days, and I will definitely dress up Miss Qingyan beautifully for the prince's birthday banquet." ”

After dinner, Steward Gu gathered all the subordinates in the family and introduced them to Hua Qingyan one by one. These maids are actually familiar to the Hua family, that is, those who were dismissed by Mrs. Mei before the accident. I don't know where the ancient housekeeper got these people back, but when he saw the old people, both the Hua family and these servants were very happy.

When they returned to the old master's house, the servants were very happy, and they were chattering one by one.

"Master, young master, miss, it's great to see you again!"

"Master, when Steward Gu came to us, we couldn't believe it, but I didn't expect you to really have an accident, this is really exciting!"

"That Yuan family is so hateful, they actually framed the master! It hurt our family and almost broke it! Now it's okay, the truth is revealed, the court has returned our lord a clean slate, and the lord has been named the marquis, and the young lady has become the county lord, which is a blessing in disguise! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, what a blessing in disguise! Our master has always been innocent! Originally, the court wronged the master, arrested the person first, and then added the official to the knight, and first beat a stick and gave a piece of candy, which is simply hateful! ”

"I have to thank Prince Rui for this, if it weren't for Prince Rui, how could our lord have been wronged so quickly!"

"Oh, the emperor has already given the young lady a marriage, and in the future, our young lady will be Prince Rui and the princess!"

Listening to the discussions of these maids, Steward Gu's face was a little tense, and he hurriedly coughed a few times. The ancient housekeeper was particularly majestic in the Hua family, and after he spoke, the maids were as quiet as chickens in an instant.
