The two returned to the Hou Mansion, and the housekeeper Lai greeted them and said that there were guests in the mansion.

Where are the guests from the house?

Jing Ping and Ning Yi still felt strange, and the guest was in the old lady's house at this time.

They immediately went to the old lady's house.

I only heard the servant announce loudly, "The princess and the marquis are back!" ”

"It's Zijiu, they're back!" Jingping heard the old lady's voice.

The old lady's voice seemed to be extremely happy!

Jing Ping and Ning Yi glanced at each other and went to the inner room.

When I went in, I saw a middle-aged man sitting at the bottom of the hall, wearing a gray cloth jacket, his hair was wrapped in a high bundle of cloth, and he looked about fifty years old.

And sitting next to him were a man and a woman, the man was wearing a green coat and satin jacket, long and thin, but with clear facial features, about eighteen or nineteen years old. There was a girl in a red jacket sitting next to her, who was also quite standard with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Zijiu, your cousin Zhao is here." The old lady's face was full of joy.

"It turned out that my cousin was here and I saw my cousin." Ning Yi's cousin Yang Zhao is from the old lady's mother's house, when his father died and came to the funeral, his cousin Yang Zhao also came, and Ning Yi had already met it before.

"Zijiu is really getting more and more handsome." Yang Zhao said with a smile.

"This is your Cousin Xian and Cousin Yi. Xian'er, Yiyi, this is your cousin Zijiu and Princess Jingping. The old lady said.

"I've seen my cousin, I've seen a princess." Yang Xian and Yang Yi were busy saluting.

"No need to be polite." Ning Yi smiled slightly.

"Your virtuous cousin passed the examination last year, and this year, because the queen is pregnant, the emperor gave amnesty to the world, and opened Enke, and your virtuous cousin came to catch the exam." The old lady said with a smile, Yang Xian is her grandson's nephew, less than twenty years old, and he can be lifted, what a literary talent, it is really proud.

"Actually, I shouldn't have come so early, but I thought I wanted to pay a New Year's greeting to my aunt, so I brought Xian'er and Yiyi here." Yang Zhao said.

"It's good that you have this heart." The old lady was very happy, "Zijiu, Xian'er wants to take the exam, I want to let my cousin take their brothers and sisters to live in the mansion." There is a smoke pavilion in the west wing, so Ah Zhao and Xian'er will live. Yiyi and Zhi'er are the same age, and there is a small courtyard in Zhi'er's yard that is empty, it is just right for them to live together, what do you think? ”

"My cousin brought my cousin and cousin over, so naturally I want to live in the house, and my grandmother arranged it very well." Ning Yi said lightly.

"What does the princess think?" The old lady asked.

"Grandmother decides." Jing Ping replied.

Yang Xian is only eighteen years old, he was known as a prodigy when he was young, and he began to participate in Enke at the age of fourteen.

He was quite polite, and he saw that Ning Yi was majestic, his expression was solemn, and he had a majestic and solemn atmosphere.

He also knew that his cousin was not only a concubine, but also a marquis, an official to the governor of the five cities, and a close minister of the emperor's side, which was very unusual.

Looking at Princess Jingping again, he was a little stunned just by looking at him. He has read countless poetry books, and countless beauties have been written in the books, all of which are not as beautiful as the princess he saw in front of him.

"Excuse my cousin and princess." Yang Xiandao.

"Cousin, now that the emperor is thirsty for talent, you must take the exam well, strive for a good ranking, and serve the emperor in the future." Ning Yi said lightly.

"Yes, I will concentrate on my studies and live up to the high expectations of my aunt and cousin." Yang Xiandao.

"Steward Lai, you go to the kitchen to inform me, cook more dishes today, and you will definitely entertain your cousin and cousin." Ning Yi said.

"Yes, Master Hou." Lai Butler said.

"You go settle down and pack up first, and then we'll talk together later." The old lady said. "Zhi'er, you take Cousin Yiyi to settle in your yard."

"Yes, grandmother." Ning Zhi looked at Yang Yi as I saw pity, she was very beautiful, and she was the same age as herself, so she naturally liked it, "Cousin Yiyi, you come with me." ”

"Thank you, Cousin Zhi'er." Yang Yi said softly.

Ning Zhi took Yang Yi down, and Ning Yi arranged for Steward Lai to take Yang Zhao and Yang Xian to settle down and rest.

When they left, the old lady said, "Xian'er is really competitive, from childhood to adulthood, books are good reading." ”

"I saw him talk quite politely just now, and it is also very good to think about the family style." Zhang's Road.

"Isn't it?" The old lady said happily, "Zijiu, if Xian'er can get a good ranking in the exam, you can also work around so that Xian'er can compete for a good official position in the court." ”

Ning Yi said lightly: "Grandmother, don't worry, if my cousin can have a ranking in the imperial examination, why worry about a bad career." ”

"Yes, grandmother, it's too early to say that!" Ning Lan said.

The old lady looked at her grandson, and when she saw that the princess was still there, she wanted to talk a little and stopped, and finally just changed her words happily.

Yang Yi followed Ning Zhi to her courtyard.

From the moment she entered the Ning Mansion, she was greatly shocked in her heart.

Their Yang family is also quite well-established in Tongzhou, and in the end, the Yang family's aunt and grandmother are the old ladies of Ningfu. The Ning family is now a high-ranking family in Dong'an City, which is naturally very unusual.

Yang Yi has also been pampered since she was a child, raised according to the standards of noble girls, and what the Yang family thinks about is that after she grows up, she can marry into the high gate in Dong'an City.

She has also seen the world, but as soon as she entered the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion was exquisite, every door and every room, every room and every tile were full of luxury.

When they came in to meet the old lady, and then saw the two county lords of the Ning family, Ning Lan was gentle and demure, Ning Zhi was playful and cute, and the two daughters were different from all the noble ladies she had seen before.

When she saw Princess Yi Jingping, she was even more surprised. She had heard of Princess Jingping's appearance and saw her with her own eyes, and felt that her beauty was unparalleled and extravagant.

"Cousin Yiyi, this is where you live, if you need anything, you just call." Ning Zhi said.

"Thank you, Cousin Zhi'er." Yang Yifu is blessed.

"Don't be so polite, we can live together in the future and play together." Ning Zhi said.

Ning Zhi doesn't speak and act like ordinary ladies, and she is a little childish, but even so, she can't be despised by people. Her identity is here, she seems to be born like this, and she has such a casual and childish confidence, which is really enviable.

Jingping returned to the room, she changed her clothes, washed her face and cleaned herself.

Ning Yi came in at this time!

"It's been a long time since I've seen an old lady so happy." Jingping watched him come in and said.

"Yes, it's been a long time since Grandmother was so happy." Someone from her mother's family came, and Yang Xian was angry again, how could her grandmother be unhappy.

"If Yang Xianruo is really a talent, it's okay to let him stay in Dong'an City, at least you have one more help." Jingping Road.

"Now that I am in a high position and have been valued by the emperor, what the emperor hates the most is that the courtiers form a party for personal gain, which is really difficult to arrange." Ning Yi sat next to Jingping, held her hand and kissed her on the lips, "Let's see how he did in the imperial examination first!" ”
