[Red Mansion] Married by decree

Although the winter in Yangzhou is cold, the temperature is not that low, and the days when the river freezes are rare.It has been raining for the past few days, and today's rare sunshine broke through the barrier of dark clouds and sprinkled on the world.

A large ship is approaching the port, ready to dock at the port.Someone on the shore had already seen the mark on the ship, and before the ship docked, they had already led people forward and waited.

After the boat docked, one person got off the boat.The man was eating a Beijing movie, and the material of his clothes was also of the best quality.Such a person is either rich or expensive.

"Guan Liu has worked hard all the way." It was the butler of the Zhao family who came to pick him up, and the two were obviously very familiar with each other.

"It's my honor to work for the prince. It's not a word of hard work." The man also cupped his hands at the butler, and his tone was full of pride and superiority.Even so, the attitude is not arrogant.

This person is the steward of Prince Anshun's mansion, and indeed he has superior capital to be the steward of the prince's mansion.Let alone in Yangzhou, even in the capital, if anyone saw him, he would disrespectfully call out: Guanshi Liu.

"I've prepared refreshments, please come to Guanshi Liu." The housekeeper said, and led Guanshi Liu into the restaurant opposite the pier.There, he had already opened the box.While eating the cakes, the two waited for the ceremony on board to be loaded into Zhao's carriage.

The private room is facing the direction of the pier, just enough to clearly see the situation of the pier.On the boat of Prince Anshun's mansion at the pier, things were constantly being moved down.Then the people from the Zhao Mansion loaded those things into the Zhao Mansion's carriage one by one.

"Housekeeper, Liu Guanshi, the things have been packed." The door of the box was pushed open, and the servant of the Zhao family bowed and told the two of them.

When the two of them left the restaurant, there was already a sedan chair parked there.The sedan chair was prepared for Guanshi Liu.Every time Liu Guanshi came to give a boxing gift, he did this.

"Mr. Zhao, this is the request form for this ceremony. Please have a look at it, sir." The housekeeper took the list and handed it over to Zhao Ye.Zhao Ye glanced at it briefly, then put down the list.

"Guan Liu, how is your lord doing?" Zhao Ye looked at the person sitting next to him and asked.

"My lord is well, and the emperor has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, so I'm busy." Although Liu Guanshi was disrespectful to Zhao Ye, he was not as arrogant as usual: "My lord heard about the ballad." "I wonder if my lord is right. What do you think about this matter?" Hearing Guanshi Liu mentioned Ge Yao, Zhao Ye felt a little worried, if the prince blamed Daiyu for Ge Yao, it would be bad.

"My lord, let Mr. Zhao feel at ease." Guanshi Liu took a sip of tea before speaking, "As for your lord's opinion, it's not for me and my slaves to speculate."

"It's Zhao who spoke nonsense." The word "An Xin" was enough to make Zhao Ye feel at ease.

Liu Guanshi immediately took out another letter, and there was no signature on the envelope: "After returning to Beijing, the Empress Dowager also misses Miss Lin. Knowing that the prince will bring a gift, she asked the prince to bring a letter and hand it over to Miss Lin."

The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Ye asked someone to take Guanshi Liu to rest in the courtyard that had been arranged.The people Yunze sent to give the gift all returned to the capital after a day's rest.Zhao Ye asked the housekeeper to clean out a courtyard and arrange a group of people.

"Send the letter to the girl." Zhao Ye handed the letter to the butler: "Have someone invite Madam."

"I'll do it right now, old slave." The housekeeper was not needed to send letters or invite people, and he just ordered other people, and then took them to clear up the etiquette of Yunze.Classify one by one and put them into the public library.

Because the New Year is approaching, Mrs. Zhao is busier than usual.I don't even have much time to visit Daiyu and her two sons, except for greetings in the morning, I rarely see her.

"There is a girl's letter, the master asked the villain to deliver it." An account book was spread out in front of Daiyu, and the ground ink was placed on her right hand.Next to the inkstone is a jade pen case, and on the pen case is a small regular script Langhaohu brush stained with ink.

You Lan, who had been standing by Daiyu's side to wait, took the letter and handed it over to Daiyu.Daiyu took the letter and opened it directly, and the red wax on the envelope was divided into two halves.

The words on the letter paper are vigorous and vigorous, and the pen is fast and fast, but it does not seem to be feminine.Daiyu looked at the handwriting, and a smile appeared on her face.She didn't point it out, but read the letter seriously.

The letter was only one page, and the written part was only half a page.Daiyu was a little dazed when she read the letter. Is this to comfort her?It's rare to be clumsy, it must be hard for outsiders to imagine that the high-spirited Prince Anshun also has such clumsy speech.

"Girl, what happy thing happened?" Although You Lan was waiting nearby, she didn't read the content of the letter.Naturally, I don't know who wrote the letter and what it wrote.

After that incident, Daiyu was still affected, even though she got the words of Master Guangyuan, how could she not care about it at all.So far, there is still a little sadness between her brows, very faint, but it can't be hidden from You Lan who has been by her side and waited on her.

Just now, even the faint sorrow disappeared, and all of this seemed to be related to that letter.Seeing this, You Lan couldn't help asking, she felt that the Queen Mother's letter alone would not have such an effect.

"Nothing, go and get Xiangzhu." Daiyu marked the current page of the account book, put it away, and ordered Youlan to call Xiangzhu over.

"Xiangzhu has met the girl." Xiangzhu came to Daiyu's side, taking care of the rules and arrangements of the maidservant.Compared with You Lan who is always waiting for her, she is even more busy.

"Xiangzhu, do you have a younger brother?" Daiyu had already put away the letter, and now Daiyu held the copper hand stove that Youlan had prepared long ago.Because of Daiyu's frail body, her hands and feet are not warm in winter.Although there is a stove burning all the time in the house, there is still a need for a hand stove.

"Ms. Xiangzhu, Xiangzhu does have a younger brother." Xiangzhu knew that Daiyu would not mention her younger brother for no reason, so there was rare expectation in her eyes.

"My lord happened to meet someone a few days ago, and he knew that person was your younger brother, so he sent him to Uncle Lin." The letter did not say how he met that person, but there is no such thing as such a coincidence in this world.What's more, Yunze is still a prince, so it is almost impossible to meet him by chance.

"How is brother?" Xiangzhu couldn't hide his surprise.She was sent to the palace since she was a child, how difficult it is to step from the lowest maid to her current position step by step.But she never felt bitter, because she still had her parents and younger brother waiting for her reunion.

"He's all right, but he misses your sister very much."

"Xiangzhu thank you, Miss, thank you, my lord." Xiangzhu then knelt down and kowtowed to Daiyu.

"Uncle Lin is also capable. If you agree, I will arrange for your younger brother to study beside Uncle Lin. He will become a teacher in the future, so he can create a career." Seeing Xiangzhu kneeling, Daiyu didn't call out. , or took a sip of tea before speaking.

"Xiangzhu swears to be loyal to the master to the death." Xiangzhu kowtowed again after hearing Daiyu's words.At the same time, she made up her mind to give Daiyu all her heart.

"Xiangzhu, get up, let your younger brother come over in the next year, and you two will meet again." While speaking, Daiyu put down the teacup in her hand, and lifted Xiangzhu slightly with her hand.Xiangzhu also stood up, and when Xiangzhu got up, Daiyu realized that the man was crying.

"This was a happy thing, but I cried when I was born."

"Miss, forgive me. Xiangzhu and his brother have been separated for many years. If I hear about my brother, I will be very happy." Xiangzhu wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, and then laughed again.

"In a few days, Daiyu will send someone to the capital. If you have anything to bring to my younger brother, please bring it along."

"Xiangzhu thanked the girl." Xiangzhu looked at Daiyu with gratitude again. She really felt that it was her luck to be with such a master as Daiyu.
