After the small ceremony, Wen Yi also let go of the big stone in her heart. Counting the days, she has been away from home for half a year, and since the big thing has been decided, it is time to go home. It was the first time since she was reborn that she had been away from her grandmother for such a long time, and although she had also corresponded, she couldn't feel more at ease than seeing it with her own eyes, so she began to consider whether to talk to Mrs. Yu and Jiang about returning to her hometown first.

However, she is still a little wary of the elders in the long house, especially the old lady, who has always focused on the long house, and I am afraid that she may not be willing to bother to arrange for her to return to her hometown, and she is more likely to insist that she wait until everyone goes back before leaving together.

But Wen Yi really couldn't wait for that time.

Now Wen Xian is about to get married, and the second uncle and aunt of Changfang are ready to go to Beijing again, and the wedding date is initially scheduled for May, but after Wen Xian gets married, her parents may not leave immediately. The second uncle has never given up the idea of seeking an official for many years, since he has gone to Beijing and is close to the water, how can he easily miss it? You have to deal with it for a while. Who knows if this delay will be delayed until after the autumn?

Wen Yi didn't plan to leave her grandmother for a year for the trivial matters of the long house

She remembered the thought she had before, maybe she could ask her eldest cousin to escort her?

But...... If Nie Heng doesn't get into the middle school, he will return to his hometown together, if he is in high school, there will be palace exams, hall selections, etc., and I don't know how long it will be delayed. The same is true of Wenliang, the second cousin of the second room.

Wen Yi felt that with the intelligence of her eldest cousin, it was impossible for her to fail the test, so she thought that her ideas were not thoughtful enough.

As a result, she had no choice but to turn to Mrs. Luo Si for help.

Now that she has a young and strong family under her, plus Mama Zhao, Dong Que and others who originally brought them from home, it would be enough if she hired a medium-sized ship by herself. As long as you are traveling with the Luo family's merchant ships, there is someone to take care of along the way, and you don't have to worry about personal safety. When she arrived in Guihai City, she asked the Luo family to arrange it, and then went with the merchant ship to Cannes or Pingyang, as long as she arrived in Cannes or Pingyang, she would be able to solve the rest of the matter by herself.

She has people in her hands and enough silver, so she may have to worry about the inconvenience on the road by land, but she doesn't even have to worry about accommodation on the road when she travels by water. Now that it is the season of spring flowers, the river is thawing, and the Luo family has heard that several groups of merchant ships have been launched, and with his family's ability, it doesn't matter if one more civilian ship follows. Wen Yi was sure that Mrs. Luo Si would definitely help her with this, and the godmother was not without complaints about Gu's family's actions.

It's just that although Wen Yi made up her mind, she still didn't dare to make up her own mind, so she sent Mama Zhao out of the house under the pretext of sending something to Mrs. Li, and sent a letter to Liu Dongxing to ask him what he meant.

Liu Dongxing replied to the letter. He disagreed with Wen Yi's plan.

There are thousands of miles between Beijing and Binh Duong, and if you take the water route, it is indeed easier than the land route, but it does not mean that you can take it lightly. Although Wen Yi has useful male and female servants, but the shipwright and sailor and others have to be hired separately, these people are not reliable, and there has never been a reason for a young lady from a large family to take a long distance with a servant alone. Even if you follow the Luo family's fleet, someone on the road can help take care of it, and you don't need to worry about safety, but the Luo family's fleet is a merchant ship after all, and it is not directly returned to the sea or Pingyang. Wen Yi and his party followed them, it was too inconvenient. What's more, without the daughter of the Luo family to accompany him, he only relied on the steward of the fleet on the road, who knows if he can take care of Wen Yi? He didn't want her to suffer.

Liu Dongxing means that Wenju is more troublesome, there will be a palace exam after the exam, and there will be a hall selection, so the delay is a little longer, but the martial arts is not so verbose, as long as the results come out, you can directly order the top three, and then give the banquet and confer the official, it should be completed in March, and it will not be more than April. When the time comes, he will ask Luo Mingmin to help, and specially borrow a boat to send Wen Yi back to his hometown, from the boatman to the steward, as well as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law waiting on the ship, all of them are available, because it is not a merchant ship, and there is no such trouble, and the Luo family's shop in the capital, there is a steward who will return to the sea in April, and he is most likely going to take his family with him, accompanied by his wife, and Wen Yi also has a companion on the road.

After Wen Yi received the reply, her brows kept furrowing. If you can borrow it from the Luo family with the boat and people, why do you have to wait until April? She didn't care if she was accompanied by an older female dependent, it was enough to have Mama Zhao horizontally. As for the inconveniences she would encounter on the road, she didn't pay attention to it. In her previous life, she followed her master and sister and a group of three people, sleeping all the way, and traveling south and north, she has long been used to it, and now there are so many servants waiting with her, and there is no shortage of silver in her hands, where will she suffer?

It's just that...... Liu Dongxing has clearly expressed his wishes, if she insists on her opinion...... Isn't it good?

Wen Yi put away the letter, unable to make up her mind.

Mama Zhao persuaded softly: "Good young lady, in fact, I am not in a hurry. Since my uncle said so, you should be patient and wait for a month or two, right? Why didn't Mama want the old lady? But it's not appropriate for you to go out alone as a girl."

Wen Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Mama, do you think of me as a sister in the long room?" When I used to be at home, every time I went to Pingyin, which time didn't I go on the road with a few entourages? Besides, with you, Dong Que Xiuzhu, what family, and Zhao Da's family, how could I go out alone? This time, I've been away from home for too long, and I'm really impatient to talk to them anymore in the current situation of the long house. ”

Mama Zhao listened and hurriedly said: "No wonder Miss thinks so, Mama has grown up so old, and I have never seen a young lady in any family act like this, but the adults in the family are silent."

Mama Zhao was referring to Wen Xian's recent actions. At the request of the old lady, the Liu family has already exchanged Geng posts with the Gu family, and then only wait for Wen Xian's parents to arrive in Beijing before making a formal small ceremony, but there is basically no possibility of changing this family matter. After all, the news of the marriage has been publicized, and once there is a change, the reputations of both families will be affected. I don't know if it's because of the relationship that the marriage has been decided, Wen Xian's housekeeper has become more and more strict recently, and she is extremely strict with her words and deeds, and every move must meet the etiquette standards set by the world, and the same is true for the sisters or maids around her, and even when she sees anything that is not polite, she will severely reprimand.

Wen Juan was scolded the most, she had cried several times, and she complained to Wen Yi in private, saying that her sister seemed to have suddenly changed as if she was becoming more and more strange, and she hoped that her sister could return to her gentle and demure appearance before.

She is her own sister, so she is naturally the first to bear the brunt, but Wen Ya and Jiang Yao are not much stronger, Jiang Yao is just reluctant, because she is a relative, Wen Xian is at most just a few words of preaching, and in the end she will be mixed up by Jiang Yao with a smile, but Wen Ya has no luck. Wen Xian didn't know if she understood her important position in the marriage of the two Liu Gu families, and she was even more strict with this serious lady of the Shilang Mansion than before.

Wen Hui did not escape Wen Xian's preaching. However, she is currently grounded, although Wen Xian helps the housekeeper, she can't go to her at every turn, plus she has been listless recently, she is either in a daze at the window all day long, or hiding in the corner and crying, Wen Xian has the heart to teach her, and she can't get many tricks.

Gradually, Wen Xian even began to point fingers at Wen Yi. Even Wenyi wants to send someone to send something to Mrs. Li or Mrs. Luo Si, which can also cause a lesson, either to let her be a lady, not to always associate with people outside, or to persuade her to live frugally.

Wen Yi was amused and bored in her heart, and asked herself that she had always been good to this cousin, and she didn't understand why she was eyeing herself. But the elders of the long room didn't say anything, even the Jiang family only said a few words about Wen Xian, but they didn't force anything, she is a junior, and she is a younger sister, why bother talking more? Therefore, she responded on her face, what should she do when she turned her back or how to do it, her daily use and call people did not need to go through the Shilang Mansion, and Wen Xian could only talk about it.

But one thing to admit is that she wanted to leave as soon as possible, and it was also because she was tired of all kinds of relationships in the waiter's mansion, and she didn't plan to attend Wen Xian's wedding.

She looked at the letter in her hand, sighed, and said to Mama Zhao: "Since the people in the long room want to do this, what do we care about them?" The most important thing at the moment is to talk to Brother Liu again, I really don't want to delay for so long. As long as I can know that he and my eldest cousin have successfully passed the exam, I can leave with peace of mind. If I can leave in half a month, I may be home by the day he says so."

Seeing this, Mama Zhao had no choice but to persuade again: "Miss, now it's not as good as before." In the past, when you were at home, you were used to making ideas, and as long as you didn't go out of line, the old lady could follow you. But now that you have a mother-in-law's family, your uncle has already spoken, and you still have to listen to one or two. As the saying goes, marry your husband, although you are not married yet, you should not disobey your uncle. ”

Wen Yi was silent, thought for a while, and then said a little dejectedly: "I still want to talk to him again, if it is...... If he insists on this, then it will not be too late for me to dispel this idea......" After that, he took up the pen and wrote a letter, calling Dong Kui: "Go and tell the eldest aunt that the eldest cousin's birthday is coming, and I want to give him a gift, and I want to borrow one or two people from the eldest aunt to help with the dots." When the time comes, you and Zhao brought gifts over, and when you arrived at the place, you only said that you were going to buy needles and threads, and you were looking for an opportunity to send this letter to Yangliver Hutong, can you do it? ”

It's not the first time I've done this, so I hurriedly made a package ticket: "I can go with Sister-in-law Zhao, Brother Zhao drives, he has a tight mouth, and the road is familiar."

Mama Zhao hurriedly asked: "Let's prepare the gift ourselves, why bother asking for the eldest wife?" I'm afraid that Miss Fifth will have something to say at that time. ”

Wen Yi sneered: "The silver of the gift we gave ourselves is just to borrow the name of the eldest aunt." The fifth sister wants to find fault with me, in case she knows this letter, my reputation is not good, of course I have to find a way to gag her."

Jiang has always been kind to Wen Yi, and when he heard her request, he naturally didn't say anything, even if he sent Mama Liu to help, he prepared a generous gift, so he reluctantly accepted Wen Yi's silver, but added two boxes of things, saying that it was his own intention. Wen Yi didn't refuse again, thanked her again and again, and asked Mama Liu to take Dong Aoi and Zhao to send the gifts out of the second door and load the car.

Wen Xian's people really intercepted the thing and immediately reported it back to Wen Xian, and Wen Xian came over to find Wen Yi to speak: "There is a difference between men and women, even cousins, and they should not have private dealings." How can my sister act so carelessly, if people know, won't she laugh at our Gu family's tutor? ”

Wen Yi sneered: "Where did I have a private relationship?" Why didn't the fifth sister order someone to inquire clearly, and then come to teach? ”

Jiang Shi was also a little annoyed, she had long wanted to teach this niece a lesson, but her mother-in-law had her life first, and she didn't dare to disobey, but at this time, she just took advantage of it: "The ninth girl returned to me first, and I asked people to prepare the gift, didn't you see Mama Liu here?" Five girls, you are about to get married, you might as well make your own wedding dress if you have kung fu, these are not your responsibility"

Wen Xian blushed for a while before she said, "My niece is just worried that the sisters have misbehaved and ruined the reputation of the Gu family."

Wen Yi said lightly: "If the fifth sister is really for the sake of the reputation of the Gu family, she shouldn't make a big fuss, what can't be said privately between sisters?" I have to be in front of everyone, as if I am afraid that people will not know. Could it be that the fifth sister thinks that if it proves that my behavior is impolite, your reputation will be better? If outsiders knew, they would only think that the daughters of the Gu family were rude, so how could they think that the fifth sister was a serious person? ”

Wen Xian's face turned pale, and she bit her lower lip and didn't speak.

Wen Yi stood up and glanced at her coldly: "Fifth sister, the eldest aunt just said it well, you are the one who is about to leave the cabinet, why do you have to do such superfluous things?" Besides, in what capacity are you teaching me? You are my sister now, but you are always in the next room, how can I communicate with my relatives in the sixth room, and I don't ask the daughter of your long room to point fingers, but wait for you to pass the door...... I'm not qualified to teach me a lesson."

Wen Xian was shocked, as if she just remembered that Wen Yi and Liu Dongxing were engaged, and Liu Dongning, who she was going to marry, was Liu Dongxing's younger brother, don't look at herself as Wen Yi's sister now, both of them will marry in the future, Wen Yi is the eldest sister-in-law, even if she is a clan woman, she is also ...... in terms of etiquette

Wen Xian finally walked away, and Jiang Shi seemed to have a bad breath, and smiled more and more kindly at Wen Yi, and thought that her clothes were old and wanted to make her a new one. Wen Yi smiled and accepted her kindness, but secretly congratulated herself in her heart that she had taken precautions.

When Mrs. Yu heard about this, she called Wen Xian to teach her a lesson, and said, "Your fifth sister also helped you when she was in Luwang's Mansion before, and she has always been in harmony with you, why did you bother to find her?" ”

Wen Xian cried: "Now not only the people outside speak ugly, but even the people in the family are also talking about it. The granddaughter has always adhered to etiquette, but she was ruined by the sixth sister, if she doesn't do something, others are afraid that she will be a granddaughter, even if she marries the Liu family, she can't raise her head, and the granddaughter might as well die clean."

Old Madam Yu scolded: "Even if you want to restore your reputation, there is no need to talk about their sisters and their bad reputation, you can't please either" rubbed the corners of her forehead with a headache, "That's it, you shouldn't be in charge of the family at this time, you should concentrate on getting married." Your aunt's health is also better, and the housework will be handed back to her" She began to sigh that her life was miserable, and she thought of Wen Yi, whether it was when she was in Pingyang Guzhuang in the past, or when she went to Beijing with herself, she didn't let Changfang find fault at all, and even sarcastic Wen Xian's words were reasonable and modest. If she is her own granddaughter, why should she be so distressed?
