Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 43, Prince Yun Going Home
The Grand Canal was smooth and smooth, and the boat arrived at Jingmen ten days later. The people on board consisted of a hundred soldiers sent by Niu Wenwen and a few people brought out of Beijing by Yun Zhan, which served as the tolerance for escorting Dou Wanfu.

After being sent to the Ministry of Punishment, the sky will also be dark, and the long street lamps will be lit up like stars and stars, as if the Milky Way is nine days old.

Yun Zhan relaxed, and suddenly paid attention to his appearance. He smelled the smell on his sleeves. In the weather of nearly May, he frowned and got on his horse. He met a few people in the middle of the road and greeted them without exchanging pleasantries.

The big red lantern next to the plaque of the Lord Protector's Mansion illuminated the blush in front of the door, and the two vivid stone lions were bathed in luster. Yun Zhan felt a sense of intimacy immediately, his brows stretched, and he rode straight to the corner door.

He lives here by himself, and the Huguogong and his wife live in the princess mansion next door, and there is no girl in the room. The second door dismounted and came to the main room, and four servants ran out to greet them, namely Wansheng, Qianchi, Liushun, Eight rounds.

Among them, Liushun and Bafa are two years older, both are ten years old, and the other two Wansheng and Qianchi are also eight years old.

Noisily shouting: "Master is back." Those begging for hot water, changing clothes, delivering herbal tea and fruits, the little boys got busy.

In the middle of the day, Duke Protector and Princess Dachang received a message asking someone to come over to say that dinner was postponed and they were waiting for Yun Zhan.After washing, Yun Zhan simply wore his shoulder-length hair and walked comfortably in the night wind.

Incense travels through the half-dozen bamboo curtains to keep mosquitoes away, and also allows the eldest princess named "Dayi" to see her son coming more clearly. She is in her early 40s leaning on the Arhat bed. Seeing the beauty back then, some white spots appeared in the black hair early.

She is really beautiful, her father loves her all the time while he is still alive, he named her "Da Yi" to praise her daughter's appearance, saying that her appearance is no one else can surpass.She is the youngest daughter of Emperor Xianxian.

When the first emperor ascended the throne, there were thirteen princes under his knees. He had been ill for a long time since he was [-] years old. The harem was controlled by concubines. Everyone wanted to get a will. The government was controlled by Dou Wanfu and others. It is inevitable that the mentally ill emperor will be controlled by the scholars who drafted the imperial edict.

Princess Dayi ran into the palace several times. She had a normal relationship with the first emperor's brothers and sisters, and these days were difficult for her.

If she hadn't married the Huguogong for her extraordinary meritorious service and changed her family, she would have been overthrown by the concubines and Dou Wanfu a long time ago.

The eldest princess, who only seeks the peace of the country, is chilling. She wholeheartedly takes care of her husband and children at home. During this time, she avoids the door to thank guests and does not associate with the former emperor's princes. The wily Dou Wanfu thinks that he has a deep foundation. who.

On the night of the late emperor's death, according to the historical records in the history books, Dou Wanfu should have sealed the gate of the palace, but at the same time that the late emperor died, Prince Shunyi led soldiers into the palace, and Dou Wanfu fled in a hurry. The eldest princess brought the same will of the important ministers and four Taoists at that time, and on the grounds that the imperial treasure was abused and the will was not a real holy will, she abolished Prince Shunyi and arranged for the funeral of the late emperor. , the emperor ascended the throne.

Luan Jing, son of the Marquis of Nanyang, heard that the prince of Huguogong might be in Xinji, so frightened, he hurriedly slandered Yuanxiu, fearing both his son and mother, as well as Huguogong.

None of the three members of this family are soft-tempered.

The world has returned to peace, and the chaos of the past seems to have settled in the running water. Only the princess's white hair cannot be restored. In her black hair, it looks like a pattern leaving the traces of time.

Her husband Huguogong was holding a volume of military books, sitting on the chair in front of Arhat's bed, reading two volumes of books, he just looked at his wife, the candlelight reflected the princess's smile red, and then quietly dyed Huguogong's face.

Duke Hu knew that his son was approaching, and then he heard Yun Zhan's footsteps. The smile on his face deepened. When he raised his head, he put down the book of war in his hand, and the girl Qingxia took it away.

"Father, mother, my son is back." Yun Zhan bowed and saluted.

Princess Dayi did not answer, but stretched out her arm in the blue palace gown. The Duke Hu Guo caught it and helped his wife get off the arhat bed. Yun Zhan caught it, and the family of three went to eat.

After the meal, Yun Zhan calmly answered a few words on the errand, and then said with a smile: "I met a person in Xinji, and Gong Jian said that he seems to have heard of him. Maybe only my mother remembers what happened to him in Beijing."

"Oh?" The eldest princess looked very interested.

"Yuan Tianjin."

Princess Dayi lowered her eyes, as if searching carefully in the long river of memory, and when she looked at Yun Zhan again, she smiled: "I don't even remember, I don't know if this person is studying literature or martial arts?"

"He's an old master, and he has a granddaughter who looks good." Yun Zhan smiled naturally.

After his son mentioned Yuan Tianjin, Lord Protector also recalled whether he had met this person before. Hearing this sentence, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Haha! Have you seen the girl from the Yuan family?"

The Eldest Princess also looked at her son energetically. Yun Zhan didn't mean to be embarrassed. He turned his face to the side and lifted his chin lightly, half to the roof and half to the courtyard, thinking about it very seriously, and looked at his parents with a smile: "Yes."

"What family background?" The Duke Protector was in high spirits.

The eldest princess immediately scolded him: "It is said that people in Xinji Town, the old master who has not passed the exam, what kind of family background can he have?"

The Protector laughed and said: "Then the ancestors must be innocent. What's the harm in asking? Besides, if the son can answer it, it means that he is really interested in it, not just casual chatting."

Yun Zhan really answered, begging the matchmaker Youzheng's mouth was broken, and Youzheng had said more than once about all the things about the Yuan family that should be known to the in-laws.

"My ancestors farmed and were poor scholars. In Yuan Tianjin's generation, they went to Beijing in the middle of autumn and returned to their hometown without becoming an official. Before entering Beijing, they were poor in autumn. They carried their own books and brought a sum of money when they went home Money, buy fields and houses, and then teach and educate people in Xinji Town, you can be called a great Confucian in the local area."

The Lord Protector was relieved, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

It's good to be innocent, this is one.Secondly, such in-laws won't make any big troubles.Everyone in the world wants to be relatives with the emperor, but the emperor's relatives are involved in disputes at any time, and there is no end to it. It is not ordinary people who can come.

The Eldest Princess didn't express her opinion, but her gaze was softly on her husband's face, which was equivalent to a clear answer.

Yun Zhan continued to introduce: "Yuan Tianjin has three sons, the eldest son is the girl's father, after the imperial examination, he was sent to other provinces as a low-ranking official, about a thousand miles away from Xinji."

Just as Duke Hu was about to say something, Yun Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "Young lady has a high character."

The doubt about whether his in-laws would ask for an official position disappeared from Duke Protector's mind. He stroked his beard and laughed again.

"Yuan Tianjin's second son hasn't been selected yet, and he is at the door of the family. I have met him, and he has a righteous face."

"Okay." The Lord Protector nodded.

　Princess Dachang: The emperor's aunt.

　　The eldest princess: The emperor's sister.

　　Sometimes I swallow words carefully and write one less long or big character.
