The old lady is reborn

After the two arrived in Kyoto, they inevitably traveled around. Yao Siyuan was uneasy, so he wanted to try the Dongyang Marquis Mansion.

I don't know if a commoner like me can ask to see the wife of the Marquis of Dongyang. He doesn't want to hurt anyone within five steps, he just wants to ask...

But what to ask and how to ask?

I can only ask her why she investigated me and found out that he was involved in the gold transportation. I can also ask this lady what she wants to do... In this way, can I ask what I really want to ask?

Maybe I was overthinking, and I would never meet the Marquis's wife. The question he asked seemed like he was looking for trouble and revenge. I'm afraid this won't work.

Yao Siyuan was upset.

The next morning, he persuaded Gong Yuanliang to go to the famous Yunlan Mountain in Kyoto alone, saying that he had diarrhea and had to go to the toilet, which made it inconvenient for him to go out.

As soon as Gong Yuanliang left, Yao Siyuan also left the inn. He inquired about the Dongyang Marquis' Mansion. With a few buns in his arms, he did not dare to get too close. He squatted in a street corner, staring at the gate of the mansion, determined to wait there and try his luck.

He didn't know what he was waiting for. In short, he didn't dare to act rashly, but he was also unwilling to do nothing.

It seemed as if he was getting closer to the Dongyang Marquis Mansion and had done something.

If what Lu Xiaolan said was true, then all the money he had worked so hard to make over the years, except for a little food and drink, was used to support Yiyi's expenses.

When their son and daughter were young, their parents raised them with great effort. His wife worked in the old house of Dongyang Marquis Mansion and had four days off a month. For many years, they only saw each other four days a month.

During those four days, he did not take any work. He just went to pick up Yi Yi and brought her home early, giving her gifts and money he earned himself. He prepared her favorite food at home and cleaned the house to welcome Yi Yi.

She said, how come someone like her sister is living a good life? She is not willing to accept it.

In order to make her live a better life than Lu Xiaolan, he worked very hard and aged very quickly over the years.

Gong Yuanliang is obviously one year older than me, but now I look much older than him.

But he was so sincere to Yiyi, but she wanted him to die?

Yao Siyuan took a big bite of the bun and calmed himself down: No, Yiyi, no.

He stayed at the gate of Dongyang Marquis' Mansion for an hour, thinking he was inconspicuous, when someone reported this suspicious person to Rong Yunmiao.

When Rong Yunmiao first married into the family, she was indifferent to the head of the household.

He Yuan was also worried that her daughter-in-law, who looked confused, gentle and indifferent, would not be able to control the servants after she went to the old house.

So He Yuan's confidants and the old men in the Marquis' Mansion were almost all left to Rong Yunmiao.

She took her two older maids and followed Marquis Dongyang to the old house. She had been the mistress of the house for many years and had never imagined that the servants in the old house would be in such a situation.

Perhaps these servants who didn't know the rules thought that the emperor was far away and the county magistrate was not as good as the current one. They thought that she and Marquis Dongyang were only staying there for a few days, and that the old house would eventually be managed by Lu Yiyi and her family.

Twenty years of decentralization seems to be too long.

It was carelessness after all.

After He Yuan was injured, although Lu Yiyi's family was driven out, there were not many servants that they could trust, so a large number of people were transferred from Dongyang Marquis Mansion and Kyoto, almost replacing everyone inside and out.

This makes me feel at ease.

Rong Yunmiao in Kyoto was dumbfounded. She was lying down comfortably. Things in the mansion were done according to conventions and old rules. With such a group of old servants and old friends, she just had to do everything step by step.

Until these people were transferred away one after another.

What is the mother-in-law trying to do? Testing herself by removing the fuel from under the cauldron?

When her mother-in-law went to the old house, she looked like she had some hidden agenda. She was so excited that she was almost rubbing her hands together. She was really unlike her usual dignified and serious self. It was no surprise that she would do something like this now.

There was no other way, Rong Yunmiao had to contact the person temporarily and start choosing and buying servants by himself.

But Rong Yunmiao came from the Nan'an Marquis Mansion after all. When Song Ying and Ming Dai heard the news, they each sent a group of people to her, including indentures and human children, and went through the formalities of a transaction.

In this way, the indenture contract is entirely in Rong Yunmiao's hands.

Rong Yunmiao was very happy to accept these two groups of people. It was good to have his grandmother and mother supporting him from behind.

Of course, the servant still had to buy some more so that the items would be almost complete.

When He Yuan's leg injury healed, she inexplicably didn't want to live in the old house anymore, even though she was her own now.

The longer she lived there, the more familiar the scenes and feelings became, but it was clear that He Yuan had never lived there before.

I also inexplicably feel a lot of sad and upset emotions, which make me immersed in them and unable to extricate myself.

After hearing this, Marquis Dongyang allowed He Yuan to do what she wanted and planned to buy another house in Kyoto. He divided the people that He Yuan used to employ into two groups, and brought most of them back to Kyoto. The new house would also need people, so a small number would remain in the old house.

He Yuan felt a little embarrassed about all this trouble, thinking that she had done everything she wanted and had mobilized so many troops.

When facing He Yuan's apologetic expression, Marquis Dongyang felt so guilty and panicked that he couldn't express it in words. He also wanted to leave early. He was afraid that He Yuan would remember everything one day if she stayed here.

Today, Rong Yunmiao has already thought about taking over the century-old family. Although her parents-in-law have returned to stay for a while, everyone in the mansion now belongs to Rong Yunmiao.

When the servant discovered that something was not right with Yao Siyuan, he naturally reported it to Rong Yunmiao.

Rong Yunmiao called the housekeeper and asked him to send a smart person to find out what this person was thinking.

Yao Siyuan, who had been squatting for an hour and was becoming increasingly confused, turned around and saw someone squatting behind him.

He was surprised to find that the man was squatting there eating a meat pie and chatting with him in a familiar manner.

This man said that his ancestral home was in another county, and that his great-grandfather’s generation came to Kyoto... He worked for a wealthy family, and had a younger brother... He said a lot of things, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

After listening to him, Yao Siyuan grasped the key point that he was working for a wealthy family, so he asked him about the rules of meeting guests in wealthy families and how ordinary people could meet important people.

This person asked him if he wanted to seek justice or to establish a relationship with his relatives. Different things have different rules.

Yao Siyuan hesitated for a moment, then thought that this kind of stranger might be better, as people who didn't know each other wouldn't be able to get along with each other.

The story of Lu Xiaolan was slightly changed. The adulterer was replaced by a nobleman, and the woman who died in vain was the nobleman's wife, and her status was also noble. The stupid and bad man did not kill anyone...

This makes it more like a matter between the four of them. If you want to ask others how to meet an important person, you naturally have to explain the difference in status.

After hearing this, the man said that generally women from wealthy families would not easily meet men outside their families, so he was afraid that there must be someone who passed the message between them.

After hearing this, Yao Siyuan became even more hesitant. How could he convey the message?

The man then asked him if he had ever eaten the famous Kyoto snack "Golden Candy Pastry", and said that he and Yao Siyuan hit it off at first sight, and that in Kyoto he was the host and Yao was the guest, so he invited Yao Siyuan to eat Golden Candy Pastry.

Yao Siyuan didn't want to show in front of this man that he was squatting in front of the gate of Dongyang Marquis' Mansion and refusing to leave, so he had to go with him.

After eating the golden marigold pastry, the man chatted with Yao Siyuan all the way and returned to the inn unknowingly. When he left, he said to Yao Siyuan: "I will go back and help you think about that matter. If you have figured out what to do, I will come to find you later."

When the man got back, he went to Rong Yunmiao and told her Yao Siyuan's name, where he was from, that he was married with two children, that his wife's surname was Lu, where he worked as a village head, that he came to Kyoto with his friends to relax, which inn he stayed at, the play, and that he wanted to meet a noble lady.

Rong Yunmiao sorted out the key points, the play and his desire to meet a noble lady.

He was squatting in front of the Dongyang Marquis's mansion, wanting to see a noble lady. Wait, where was he from? Wasn't the old house there too?

My parents-in-law went to live in the old house for a while... As the story goes, they met again many years later...

…Rong Yunmiao sat up straight, his eyes widened.
