Die Meng Wencai

Chapter 39 The warmth of home

Seeing Zhu Yingqi's apologetic and embarrassing expression, Yi Ren looked indifferent, and after hearing that Zhu's family went to Du's to propose marriage, she didn't mean to blame him, and invited him to sit in the tea room of the inn, drinking tea, lightly He smiled and said: "Although the Zhu family and the Du family are of the same family, the people who proposed marriage to my father before were all rejected by my father because I was young. I think he will not easily agree to someone else, so you don't have to worry."

"This is the best way, I... hope you don't blame Yingtai, she is also doing it for my own good."

"Whether she really did this for her brother, only she knows, you don't care about it as a brother, why should I care?"

Behind Zhu Yingqi's back, Zhu Yingtai encouraged Mrs. Zhu to propose marriage to the Du family. She obviously didn't like her, but wanted her to be the eighth sister-in-law?I'm afraid it's to get Liang Shanbo, right?This trick is very good, the art of war is not in vain, but Zhu Yingqi really believed her.

"You... don't you like Yingtai?"

"I really don't like it. I think you can go back to the academy, so that she won't book another marriage for you."

"Oh, no need, my mother has sent a letter to invite her to go home, and besides, I have to explain it to your father myself."

Yi Ren, who was drinking tea with her head down, heard this, and quickly covered the corners of her mouth with a teacup. As long as Zhu Yingtai, who caused trouble, was not in the academy, Ma Wen would be more at ease. Do not feel at ease.

"It's up to you, it's just that this season, Lingnan is hot and humid and rainy, it may be difficult for newcomers to adapt."

"Although it is still far away, I have already realized it, but my body has always been strong, so don't worry."

Hearing what he said, Yi Ren also laughed. The return trip was already halfway through, and the weather was getting more and more hot, but she was not so anxious anymore, because she probably guessed the reason why her father asked her to go back.

When she entered the Lingnan area, her heart began to jump for joy, and Du Feng's face showed a smile from time to time, but Xinlian and her maids couldn't do it anymore. They couldn't eat all day, and they had to drink some concoction.But Zhu Yingqi, who was full of self-confidence, simply fell down, vomited whatever he ate, and the face of the handsome young man was sallow, with no brilliance. Du Feng found a big inn and booked a single yard.Zhu Yingqi drank the bitter medicine juice here for a few days, and Yiren asked someone to get watermelon and tomatoes to relieve him of the heat, and gradually added some mung bean porridge, and gradually recovered his spirit.

Just when she was ready to set off and was about to set off, she heard a group of people coming, and the smiling smile who was going to see her had already happily ran in, hugging her arm and shaking, "Miss, it's the Second Young Master who is here."

At this moment, I saw my second brother striding in. I haven't seen him for a year and a half. This elder brother has become more stable. Yiren stepped forward to salute and called 'Second Brother'.

"Yi'er is thinner than before, you have to take care of yourself."

"Thank you, second brother, for your concern. Yi'er will pay attention. Besides, they are all home now. By the way, this is the second sister, Xinlian."

"Second sister is so pretty, I saw it just now, but her face is a bit haggard, it must be because of the hard journey, when I get home to meet my mother, I will hold a banquet for you, who is this young master?"

Yiren forgot about Zhu Yingqi when he saw his relatives, and now he thought about it when his second brother asked about it, so he introduced: "This is the eighth son of Zhu's family in Shangyu, we met on the road."

"Oh? It's him."

As soon as Yi Ren heard the tone of the second brother, he guessed that the family was very familiar with the information of the eighth son of the Zhu family. Poor Zhu Yingqi must not understand the sympathy in the tone of the second brother for him being abandoned by the bride.

"My lord, Zhu Yingqi, I came to Lingnan this time to meet Master Du."

"Brother Zhu is too polite. My name is Du Ziyao, and I am the second in the family. From now on, you and I can just call each other by name. By the way, brother Yingqi's face is a bit dissatisfied, right?"

"That's right, I'm really ashamed because I delayed your sister's return journey."

"Haha, it's normal for people who come to Lingnan for the first time to be unaccustomed to the climate, and besides, Brother Yingqi came here when it was the hottest time in Lingnan."

"Second brother, let's hurry up and leave? I see that it's going to rain again in the past two days."

"Okay, let's hurry, Brother Yingqi please."

At this time, the natural environment of Guangzhou is even more beautiful. On both sides of the road, there are ancient banyan trees, or trees full of red flowers smiling, with a delicate fragrance, and brocade-like flowers greet you at your feet. The tender willows and light flowers in the south of the Yangtze River are still very different.

The Du family's official residence is located in a very good location. The house built with gray bricks and tiles is simple and majestic. Of course, it was not originally built by the Du family, but it has been rebuilt several times by her father Du Mingyuan and it has become more complete.Her father was still on business, so she took Xinlianjian to visit her mother. In her heart, her mother had always treated her very strictly, but this time she saw tears in her eyes. Restrained, he just said "just come back", then looked at Xinlian, expressed his love, and asked her to pay a visit to his sister-in-law.

"Xinlian's residence has been arranged. It's next to you in the Fenghe Pavilion. Go down and settle down first. It's too late today, and I'll cleanse you up tomorrow."

"Mother, shall I take my second sister to settle down? She's new here and she's not used to it yet."

"Alright, you are all from Hangzhou, so you should get close to each other."

After leaving her mother's place, she heard her sister-in-law speaking Hangzhou dialect to Xinlian, which made Xinlian's original restraint go away a lot, but the sister-in-law came from Pei's family, and she didn't go out like her before she got married. They didn't have many topics in common. The sister-in-law was asking about Hangzhou, and Xinlian answered passively, and soon became cold.

"Sister-in-law, how is my nephew? When can we go and see him?"

"The little guy can crawl? It's just that he can't call people yet."

"Then my second sister and I will go see him tomorrow."

"That's fine, but the meeting ceremony of the two aunts can't be saved."

"Naturally, my second sister and I are still waiting for our little nephew to be called aunt?"

Finally came back, the garden is full of passionate flowers, a banyan tree shades the sky and shade, her small building is in the shade of greenery, and the smile is also put back to see the nanny, now standing The people who greeted her in the yard were all the old maids who had grown taller after two years of not seeing each other.

"Forsythia and Hongye have grown into big girls, come closer and let me have a look."

"Miss, you're back, and you miss your slaves, where's Sister Hanxiao?"

"Miss Xiaoxiao went to see your mother, will you kiss her again tomorrow?"

"Miss just came back, why don't you take a bath first? Hot water is ready."

"Look at you, I haven't seen you so enthusiastic before."

"Isn't it that Miss has been away for too long?"

Soaking in the warm water sprinkled with petals, it is indeed easy to wash away the fatigue, put on the clothes, recomb the hair, the gray-white linen clothes, black skirts, Hongye said that these are new clothes made by the mother for her, This season is the coolest to wear.When I came to Xinlian's Fenghe pavilion, she had packed up, wearing clothes of the same style as her, staring at a pond of lotus in a daze?

"Sister, don't you miss home?"

"No, sister packed up too?"

"Well, I don't want to rest for a while, so I'll come and see you."

"It's so dark here!"

"It's summer now, it's hot, humid and stuffy, but when it's winter, you'll be able to experience the benefits of Lingnan."

She was from Lingnan in her previous life, and she has a great understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of Lingnan. When she heard the second brother talk about the fact that Guangzhou City was flooded in the rain a few days ago, she sighed in her heart.Lingnan is not a prosperous place at this time, and few officials and talented people come here voluntarily, so even though she knows the six channels of later generations, no one can operate them, but she suddenly thought of a person who didn't know Whether he is willing or not, he can only try writing a book.
