Yan Cigui

Chapter 496 Extra 2 I cried (two updates in one)

The letter was a bit thick to hold, and it seemed that it was not a few words.

Zhu Xian was very curious about what Lin Yunyan would write. After seeing off his father-in-law, he went back to the house to open the letter.

Most of the people living in this alley are wealthy businessmen who have some connections with government officials. They usually follow the rules of wealthy families, but today they are receiving rewards from the palace. Many of them can't sit still and come out to watch the excitement.

 Uncle Yu went straight to the entrance of the alley, and when he turned around and walked home, he received many blessings from the neighbors.

 The two aunts also smiled and talked to the familiar neighbor women.

There were also some who were envious, and they gathered together and muttered.

“The eldest brother was transferred back to serve as the official of the Sixth Ministry of Capital, and the cousin has agreed to get married. It’s a double happiness.”

"I thought that if something happened to the Zhu family, even if they were not affected, they would not have any in-laws who could help them. From now on... I didn't expect that it would happen again."

"It is the blessing accumulated from my old background. Although we have lived in the same alley with us all these years, my ancestors had high-ranking officials. Only then could I marry my daughter into the Duke's palace and get a cousin girl who was born well. Even if the house was confiscated, it would still be the same. A girl from the Duke's mansion for more than ten years."

"Yes, the Empress Dowager has given so many rewards, and she is the Empress Dowager! It can be seen that the palace does not consider her and the Zhu family at all."

“I am marrying into a noble family this time, I don’t know if I will…”

“Miss Zhu is very kind, don’t curse her!”

"Oh, I didn't say anything. The one she chose just came back from attacking Xiliang, right? He has also made meritorious service."

"Hey, Miss Zhu and the princess have a good relationship. The young master is a good brother who fights with the prince. How can the relationship between the princess and the prince be bad?"

“In the final analysis, Lao Yu’s family is still able to stand on its own, and he treats everyone kindly and kindly. He didn’t rely on his in-laws to dominate in the past, and he should do as he should in the future.”

“Yes, yes, I’ll be waiting for some wedding candy and wine in a while.”

 When someone discusses something, naturally some say it is good and some say it is unfavorable.

 But it is a happy event after all, and there are usually no disputes. Even if it is careless, it will not be said in front of the family.

The Yu family's aunts and uncles just pretended not to know, greeted them politely, waited for the men to come back, entered the house and closed the door.

 There is a lot of commotion outside, so just close the door.

The two aunts led the servants to count and pack the rewards, and sent the booklet to Zhu Xiang.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Zhu Xian's eyes were red and he was wiping them.

"What's wrong?" the second aunt asked hurriedly.

Zhu Xiang smiled: "Nothing, just take it for granted."

 The aunts understood it as soon as they heard it.

Handkerchiefs are handed over, isn’t it just a matter of crying and laughing together?

After putting down the booklet and joking a few words, the aunties went out first, leaving Zhu Chan alone.

Calculating the time, the last time Zhu Xi saw Lin Yunyan was on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.

Before the New Year's Eve, Zhu Bihuo went to the Gonggong Mansion.

Lin Yunyan has almost finished cleaning up.

Zhu Xiang looked at the boxes and cages Lin Yunyan pointed out to her and asked, "That's all?"

Lin Yunyan kept laughing: "I am traveling, not moving."

 This Zhu Xiang is also a joke.

As soon as the person smiled and relaxed, Zhu Xiang talked a lot of ideas with Lin Yunyan.

On the day when the class teacher returned to the court, Yu Chengan who rode by was indeed completely different from the former **** Yu Chengan.

 She wants to take that step, even if there are many difficulties, it is worth trying.

“I envy Yun Jing for living a simple and peaceful life, but I also understand that Aunt Yu was selected from thousands of people in your house. The reason why he can live a good life is not only because of Aunt Yu’s simple background, but also because of his excellent character.”

“I’m going to choose someone who can take charge of my own affairs, but I dare not say that he has that kind of character.”

"There are naturally difficulties in the Duke's house, but I can predict them a bit. After all, I have been there for more than ten years. I have never encountered those things myself, and I have heard about them a lot, so I can still think of them. Handle."

“If he was just a dandy, I wouldn’t change my mind, but now that he has changed...”

“My strength lies in my background in the Duke’s Palace, and my weakness lies in this as well.”

Zhu Xiang thought about it carefully many times, whether it was good or bad, and only then told Lin Yunyan after thinking clearly about it.

Lin Yunyan listened carefully, listened to her confusion, her courage, and her thoughts that she couldn't tell others.

Just like more than two years ago, in the private room of that teahouse, I listened to her talk about the scandalous things that were buried deep in her heart and almost drove her crazy.

 Speaking it out and finding a solution will really make you feel free.

 The same thing happens this time.

After hearing what she said, Lin Yunyan said softly: "A few days ago, Mrs. Xu went to Guangde Temple to offer incense, and Mrs. Baoan Hou was also there. Mrs. Hou said something and said she was sending it to you..."

Zhu Chan didn't speak for a long time, but she thought that her worries were gone.

Zhu Xiang made up his mind, Lin Yunyan asked Xu Jian to arrange Yu Cheng'an's meeting.

Yu Chengan had been waiting for the news for a long time, so he hurriedly came to the Fuguogong Mansion.

Still in the flower hall, Zhu Xiang talked to Yu Chengan for a while.

"Before I went, I thought about killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds. The grandson of Marquis Baoan was so timid on the battlefield that even his old man was laughed at," Yu Cheng'an said honestly, "but I never thought about it. , The greatest achievement he made was catching Cheng Xi.”

Zhu Chan read this paragraph in his uncle's home letter.

The uncle was quite emotional and said, "Three hundred and sixty years later, I was the number one scholar", "I only know how to play with crickets and play with things to lose my ambition, how can I train my eyesight?"

Yu Chengan only talked about the results, not boasting, and finally said: "After returning to Beijing this time, unless called for by the border, I will not go to guard the border. However, after getting used to military life, I feel uncomfortable this year. I After discussing it with my grandfather, I got the approval of the Holy One when I went to the palace to pay my respects two days ago, and he will be incorporated into the Gyeonggi camp for training later in the year."

He was anxious but spoke frankly.

　　That day when he went to Yumenguan, he said something about Zhu Chan, but he knew very well that he wanted to change his behavior as a playboy, and he joined the army for himself, not to "blackmail" Zhu Chan.

 The same is true today.

 He has his arrangements and will carry them out seriously. Everyone is happy if Zhu Chuan agrees, but Zhu Chuan should not...

 That means there is really no such fate.

Yu Cheng An Hun returns to Hun, and it is absolutely impossible to do things such as robbery and plunder, which are worthless and punishable.

 Zhu Chan agreed.

Just as Yu Chengan promised before leaving Beijing, she gave the other party a clear answer.

"Earlier, your grandmother asked Mrs. Xu to tell you that if I nodded, the uncle's house would be ready to take care of it, but my mother's death anniversary is in the autumn, so it's still early."

Yu Chengan was stunned for a while.

 The expected answer fell on his ears, but he didn't react for a while.

When he finally came to his senses, his first words were, "Twenty-seven months have passed, and we are ready."

 There are rules, of course.

Of course, this is also Yu Chengan’s wishful thinking. The Baoanhou Mansion was really getting things done and was not in such a hurry.

At the end of May, the marriage was finalized, and the wedding date was set for next spring.

 Plenty of time, allowing Zhu Xuan to prepare more.

Sitting in front of the window, Zhu Xiang read Lin Yunyan's letter again.

“It is said that all the good things from all over the world are in the capital, but when I came out this time, I also found a lot of interesting things in the local area.”

"There are several kinds of fragrances that are not available in Jingzhong. They smell elegant and refreshing. When I smelled it, I thought, this feels a lot like you. I bought several bottles and sent them back to Jingzhong with other gadgets. You received them. Give it a try.”

“I haven’t chosen the wedding gift yet, but I think I still have time. I’ll have to wait until I choose the best one.”

 Zhu Xiang smiled when he saw it.

What would her perfume look like?

　　It’s so exciting.

In July, in the scorching heat, Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian arrived in Shuzhong and met Li Qi and Yibin, Princess Changle.

The princess's mansion prepared a banquet to welcome the wind, which was very lively.

Li Qi drank too much, hugged Lin Yunyan and cried loudly.

She married too far away from Beijing. Although her husband's family was very good and she lived a happy life, she also missed the capital and the Empress Dowager very much.

"The imperial grandmother loves your mother very much. My father once said that my cousin is closer than my full sister."

"The bad news came from Dingguo Temple. The emperor's grandmother fell ill at that time, and her father passed away not long after. During that time, the emperor's grandmother suffered a lot. I can't do anything. I can only hold you and talk to her. If it weren't for you, exist…"

“I really can’t bear to get married, so I still have you by my grandmother’s side. With you by her side, I feel relieved.”

“I want to go back to visit my relatives every year, but it’s too far away and very inconvenient. In the blink of an eye, I haven’t seen the imperial grandmother for four or five years.”

"I heard last year that the death of Dingguo Temple and my father were all because of my second uncle. I, I hate it so much! I hate it so much!"

“I hate him, and I hate that I couldn’t stay with my grandmother. When I found out that my father died of poisoning, was she already seriously ill? Is she okay this time because of the real murder?”

Lin Yunyan was also made to cry by Li Qi.

"Yes, I know that when King Ding died of poisoning, the Queen Mother was seriously ill, but she was not sick when Li Du was found. She has been in good health recently."

“She also always misses you, saying that she has chosen a good family and married into a good family. The only drawback is that it is ‘too far away’, but she also thinks that living a good life is your life’s business.”

"Originally Princess Derong also planned to come to Shu. When she found out that I had decided to come this year, she told her that she would go elsewhere this year and come to see you next year, so that you would have people coming from Beijing every year."

"But you also have to go to the capital. You must go the year after tomorrow or the year after tomorrow at the latest. No one will come from Beijing the year after tomorrow. You have to go."

 The year after tomorrow, that is, the 16th year of Yongjia.

 Once upon a time, in the late spring of the seventeenth year of Yongjia, the Empress Dowager died.

Li Qi, who had not been to Beijing for several years, set off in a hurry. When she arrived in Beijing, all she was left with was the empty Cining Palace.

 She did not see the empress for the last time. She only went to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage and cried until she passed away.

There are many differences between this life and the past. The Queen Mother's body looks much healthier than before, but no one knows whether she can live for a few more years.

Lin Yunyan wanted Li Qi to see the Empress Dowager again, and also for the Empress Dowager to see her only granddaughter again.

Li Qi got drunk and cried loudly. After the banquet was over, Yi Bin helped her back to rest.

Lin Yunyan was afraid that she would not remember it after she sobered up, so she mentioned it to Li Qi twice.

Li Qi made up her mind: "Tell Aunt Derong for me that her trip to Shu will be postponed again. I will go back to Beijing next year, and she will have to come to see me the year after that. That's okay too. When I came back from Beijing, she went south with me."

Lin Yunyan responded with a smile.

The couple spent a month traveling in Shu, seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers nearby, as well as the local customs and customs.

　　Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival there, we raised our glasses toward the capital.

At the end of the month, they set out from Shu and went down the river.

Just as Lin Yunyan wrote to the Empress Dowager earlier, the cabin was filled with things Li Qi gave her and gifts to be carried back to the capital.

They were not a light boat, but they also crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains in the blink of an eye.

 Along the land of Jingchu and through several canals, they returned to Jingjiao Ferry before the rivers froze.

Lin Yunyan sighed when the capital city, which had been away for nearly a year, appeared before her eyes again.

 This year will naturally be busy.

 There are a lot of posts on the concierge, but Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan are still the same as last year, most of them have been pushed down.

Lin Yunyan went back and forth between Fuguo Gongfu, Cining Palace, and Chengyi Bofu. She had endless things to say every day. In addition, she only went to Bihua Palace twice and back to Yu's house.

The imperial concubine seems to have taken a lot of perspective and is in good condition.

Zhu Xian was preparing for marriage, and sometimes asked Lin Yunjing for advice on embroidery skills.

“Spring is very good,” Lin Yunyan calculated the time with her. “I will go to the south of the Yangtze River to pick up Yunfang and her brother-in-law after the new year. The north has not yet thawed, so I will go to the official road first, and then board the ship when it is farther south.

The return trip is quick. When we come back, the rivers have melted and we can reach the outskirts of Beijing directly.

It was almost the time when you were getting married. The Duke of Guo and I had a wedding banquet before setting off. "

 Zhu Zhang was happy to see her estimate: "Where will we go when we set off again?"

"Fireworks in March are of course going to Yangzhou," Lin Yunyan said. "I only picked up Yunfang and didn't have time to wander around Jiangnan, so I had to go again. After leaving Jiangnan, I will go west again. The next time I want to go to Jingzhou, if it’s convenient, I’ll go and see Yumen Pass.”

"How wonderful," Zhu Xiang sighed, "you have been gone for a year, and many people are envious of you."

Lin Yunyan raised her eyebrows.

"The Renyuan Marquis Mansion and the girls from the Han family followed their brothers to the General's Mansion to watch a cockfight. They almost realized what was going on and had to be obedient and honest. But you, our princess, and your husband Let's leave the capital together and travel around, don't you think it will make people envious?" Zhu Xiang teased her.

"How do you know?" Lin Yunyan asked, "You are busy getting married, and you still go to the girls' flower party and poetry party?"

 Since the disappearance of the British government, Zhu Xiang has been disconnected from everything except walking with the Lin sisters.

Lin Yunyan knew this very well, and asked and answered herself: "It seems that he heard what Yu Chengan said. Also, he went from Jiangjunfang to Yumenguan, Baoanhoufu was proud, Renyuanhoufu, etc. also looked forward to learning from him. In this way, there is no need to urge the younger generation. The former **** friends and brothers must take it out on Yu Chengan. "

Zhu Chang laughed.

 The new year is here as expected.

　　When returning to Uncle Chengyi’s residence to pay New Year greetings, Mrs. Duan pulled Lin Yunyan and whispered.

“I cried on New Year’s Eve, saying that I asked you to make it right. I don’t have Yunfang by my side this New Year’s Eve, so I can’t remember it.”

 Of course it was Chen who cried.

 Happy events are arranged with great joy, but after they are completed, they feel disappointed.

 Thinking about it again after the Chinese New Year, I think about it very much.

"It doesn't matter!" Lin Yunyan said, "I will set off in two days to bring Yunfang back."
