spring cloud warm

Chapter 50
Cheng Yihou returned to the capital before the Hungry Ghost Festival. On this day, there was a light wind and light rain, and the entire capital was shrouded in a foggy rain curtain.

Mrs. Hou and the whole family greeted him at the door. When Hou Ye's carriage arrived at the door, someone immediately waited there with an umbrella.

The first time Xu Chunjun met Lu Baili, Hou Chengyi, he was in his early forties, tall and thin, with clear eyes and a very refined temperament.

"Master has worked hard all the way," Madam greeted with a smile, "I'm sorry for your exhaustion."

"It's really hard work, madam." Master Hou said with a smile, "The two children are not mad at you, are they?"

The two brothers Lu Yu and Lu Jin paid respects to their father together.

Of these two brothers, one looks like his father and the other looks like his mother.

But they are all smart and motivated, very educated.

Unlike other fathers, Cheng Yihou had to put on a majestic look in front of his children. He reached out and touched the heads of his two sons and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and I've grown a lot taller."

Afterwards, he turned his gaze to Xu Chunjun, who was beside Mrs. Hou Ye, looked him up and down, and asked with a smile, "This is Chun Jun, right?"

Mrs. Hou saw that he called Xu Chunjun directly by name instead of Miss Xu, so she knew that Hou Ye was very satisfied with the niece and daughter-in-law she had chosen, so she replied for Xu Chunjun: "That's right."

Xu Chunjun also greeted Lord Hou generously.

Then everyone went inside, Mother Ye and others went down early, those who should make tea made tea, and those who should go to make lunch went to make lunch.

Xu Chunjun also stepped back to help Ye's mother.

When only Lord Hou and his wife were left in the room, Lord Hou asked, "Have the three Xu family brothers entered Beijing yet?"

"No, I always have to wait another half a month and 20 days," Madam replied, "I've already helped them find a place to live in advance, and the Xu family will be leaving their hometown to Beijing soon."

"Speaking of which, the Xu family can be regarded as a scholarly family, a family of hairpin tassels. If it weren't for the reforms before, the current status will only be higher than ours, not lower than ours."

"What Hou Ye said is that I didn't want to meddle in this business at first, but firstly, that girl is really persistent, and secondly, I have taken a fancy to her." Madam sighed and said, "I hope she can control Wuji." The Demon Lord of Confusion."

"Madam's vision has always been good. There must be something amazing about this girl from the Xu family, which is why you are so favored." Hou Ye took a sip of tea and said, "It's just that after the Xu family brothers return to Beijing, they still have to wait for the imperial court's orders. In Beijing."

"If it is convenient for you, Lord Hou, you can also inquire for them. If you can stay, you can stay." Madam thought for Xu Chunjun, "The three brothers of the Xu family have been exiled for more than ten years, and they have been separated from their families for too long. Besides, there are many in his family. It is more convenient for young children to study or do things in Beijing."

"I can save this. Since I'm already a relative, I will help if I can." Master Hou nodded, "But it's always up to people to plan things, and God to make things happen. I dare not guarantee it."

Madam laughed and said: "As long as the master agrees, then there will be eight or nine percent accuracy."

Hou Ye hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Where is it, five or six points are about the same."

"Speaking of which, I remembered that Mr. Chun still has something for me to pass on to you." Mrs. Hou said as she got up, and took out something wrapped in cotton cloth from the drawer.

"What is this?" Lord Hou felt that this thing was very heavy.

"Open it and have a look." The lady pursed her lips and smiled.

Hou Ye opened it slowly, and couldn't help but let out a gasp in surprise.

"This... this is the authentic work of Fu Shengshou!" Hou Ye stood up excitedly.

He was obsessed with Danqing, and he valued Fu Yuanying's handwriting the most. The iron coupons of the Danshu handed down by Xu Chunjun's family were written by Fu Yuanying.

"Chun Jun, this girl, was holding this thing to beg you at that time, but it's a pity that you were not in the capital, so she fell into my hands." Mrs. Hou couldn't help laughing when talking about the past.

"This is really a treasure!" Lord Hou carefully groped for the writing on the iron coupon, as if a devout believer had seen the Living Buddha, "It just so happened that the Holy One was sympathetic and ordered me to rest at home for half a month. It's enough just to look at it. You help me get rid of all the mundane affairs, and I'll just stay in the study and don't bother anyone."

"Okay, okay, listen to you. It's just that I really don't know what's so good about this thing. It's just a few words. What's there to look at?" Mrs. Hou said in a puzzled and funny way.

"Everyone has their own preferences!" Lord Hou never took his eyes off the iron coupons, "Either the gift is not expensive, it just depends on whether it suits what one likes."

Mrs. Hou Ye couldn't help sighing when she heard this, she shook her head and said, "Chun Jun, this girl is really good at reading people's hearts. If she really sees you, the matter will be sure. I don't believe you can still refuse after seeing this thing." .”

After hearing this, Lord Hou laughed heartily and said, "Tell Chunjun that I will only borrow this thing for half a month, and I will definitely return it to her after that."

"Mr. Chun said, stay here for as long as you want." Madam got up and said, "I think I'm too redundant here, why don't you go and see how lunch is?"

"Half a month is enough. I can make rubbings at that time, and I will be satisfied with leaving a rubbing copy." Hou Ye said that he put the iron coupons away carefully.

He got up and took his wife's hand and said: "I haven't been home for a long time, I miss it very much, why don't my wife accompany me around the house."

The madam was a little shy, and wanted to withdraw her hand, saying: "What are you doing, it's the old couple's business."

"Old husband and wife, time will last forever." Hou Ye couldn't help but joked, "How do you know I don't miss you?"

Madam couldn't help laughing, and followed him.

There was a girl who held an umbrella specially, and the two of them went for a stroll in the back garden to see if it was time for lunch and then came back.

Lunch is for Lord Hou, so a big table is prepared.

Aunt Wan, Aunt Qi, Xu Chunjun and others all came to the table.

Madam Hou deliberately let Xu Chunjun sit next to her, and the two sons sat next to Hou Ye.

Xu Chunjun's next heads are Aunt Qi and Aunt Wan.

Mrs. Hou Ye specially asked someone to prepare wine, and everyone drank two glasses less.

The two young masters ate quickly and finished eating early, so the lady told them to leave first.

Afterwards, Lord Hou and his wife also finished eating and went back to rest.

Xu Chunjun sent the two aunts out of the dining room, and then watched the maids clean the place with Mother Ye.

"Miss Xu, you've been tired for a long time, go back and rest." Mama Ye said with a smile, "I'll call them over later and just take everything back."

So Xu Chunjun returned to his residence. At this time, the sky had cleared up and the heat was gradually coming up.
