Chapter 26

After receiving the imperial edict, Pei Zhao took care of all the affairs in Jingzhou, and after handing over the affairs with the new governor who came to replace him, he took his family to Beijing.

The Pei family originally had a house in Shengjing Zhong. This time, they asked someone to repair and clean it in advance, and it was now habitable.

Yuan Miaoyi already knew when her uncle and aunt would come to Beijing, but although the house did not need to be cleaned, Pei Zhao was very busy when he first arrived in the capital.

Zheng Yunyu also had a lot of things waiting for her to deal with until everything was settled. Four or five days had passed since they returned to Beijing.

Seeing that everything was in order and Pei Zhao was gradually getting on the right track in the official department, Zheng Yunyu sent someone to invite Yuan Miaoyi to come to the house to talk.

Jingzhou is far away from Shengjing.Therefore, after Pei Zhao and Zheng Yunyu left Beijing, although they exchanged letters every year, Yuan Miaoyi was unable to see them again.

After Pei Linlang passed away, Pei Zhao and Zheng Yunyu rushed over and overpowered Liu Shutang, preventing her from righting herself.Later, he helped a lot in establishing Yuan Lingheng as the crown prince and Yuan Lingheng's official appointment.

It can be said that they were very kind to Yuan Miaoyi. If it weren't for them, Yuan Miaoyi would not have had such a leisurely life in these years.

Therefore, as soon as she received the news that Zheng Yunyu wanted to see her, Yuan Miaoyi immediately packed herself up, asked the madam for permission, and took a carriage out after getting permission.

After many years apart, Zheng Yunyu seems to have not changed much. She is still as dignified and beautiful as when Yuan Miaoyi first met her.

Zheng Yunyu has always been thinking about this niece in her heart. In her letters over the years, she has always been concerned about how she is doing at home.

Just as Yuan Miaoyi entered the door and was about to salute, Zheng Yunyu supported her: "Good boy, my family doesn't have to be so polite. Let my aunt take a good look at you."

Yuan Lingheng sent a lot of materials from Qingzhou last time. Aunt Cui was afraid that if they were left like this, the good materials would be spoiled, so she cut many skirts for her.

The coldness of early spring has passed, and there is no need to wear heavy clothes now.

The dark purple moonlight skirt spread out on the chair like flowing water, paired with a green Confucian shirt and a gauze skirt, slightly revealing Yuan Miaoyi's jade-like skin.

The small golden hairpins of butterflies on her temples trembled slightly with her movements, as if they were fluttering and about to fly.

Zheng Yunyu looked at her carefully, and with a smile on his face, he said to Aunt Zhao beside him: "Look, Yi'er's color is getting better and better after not seeing her for many years."

Aunt Zhao was directing the maids to bring the tea cups. After hearing this, she also smiled and said: "No, I met the prince a few days ago. Looking at the prince's graceful appearance, I knew that the second lady was no different. She looks like the little lady of our Pei family."

With a smile on his face, Zheng Yunyu chatted more with Yuan Miaoyi about the recent developments in the past few years.

Although Yuan Miaoyi always said in her letters that she was doing well, Zheng Yunyu was worried that she would report good things but not bad things.Today I saw her dressed luxuriously and looking very good, and I felt much more at ease.

Zheng Yunyu watched her every move, the way she sat there, and the words she spoke. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her.

She took Yuan Miaoyi's hand and said, "I think you will be a hairdresser in the second half of the year, and my aunt will give you a big gift then."

Yuan Miaoyi smiled and said: "My aunt's return to the capital is the greatest gift, so there is no need for anything else."

Just as Zheng Yunyu was about to say something, the servant at the second door came to report: "Madam, the second young master is back."

"Okay, okay, I came back at the right time, just in time for him to come and meet his cousin." Zheng Yunyu said again: "It's a pity that your eldest cousin went to Dazhou, and only your second cousin came to Beijing with me and your uncle."

Zheng Yunyu and Pei Zhao had two sons. The eldest son Pei Jinyu became an official two years earlier than Yuan Lingheng. He is now married and working in Dazhou.

When they got married, Yuan Miaoyi and Yuan Lingheng sent congratulations to them.

The second son, Pei Jinan, just passed the provincial examination last year.Now I am studying hard and preparing for the exam next year.Yuan Miaoyi pursed her lips and smiled: "In the future, my eldest cousin will be promoted and return to Beijing. Are you afraid that you will never see him and your sister-in-law again?"

These words made Zheng Yunyu happy, and he stretched out his hand to straighten the bandage on her arm.

When Pei Jinan came in, this was what he saw.Next to his mother sat a young woman he had never seen before, and his mother was tidying up the woman's clothes with a smile on her face.

Seeing him coming in, Zheng Yunyu waved to him and said, "Jin An, come here, this is your cousin. You haven't met her yet, right?"

The woman stood up, turned around and saluted him: "I've met my cousin."

Her voice was not delicate, but had a clear and cold tone.But that appearance is really as beautiful as a beautiful jade, making people dizzy just by looking at it.

Pei Jinan was also slightly stunned, and then quickly returned the greeting: "Cousin."

Zheng Yunyu pointed to the lower part of his right hand and said to Pei Jin'an: "Sit down, have you finished your homework today? Your father will ask you when he comes back later."

Pei Jinan sat there with her back straight, and after listening to her mother's words, she replied seriously: "I've finished everything, and I've also finished the crafts my father assigned me yesterday."

"That's good." Zheng Yunyu nodded: "Your father is very concerned about your homework. Your brother and cousin both came from the imperial examination, so you have to pay attention."

The cousin Zheng Yunyu mentioned was Yuan Lingheng.

Pei Jin'an then said, "My son knows that he will study hard and will not embarrass you and your father."

While mother and son were talking, Yuan Miaoyi sat quietly aside.

Pei Jinan looked at her secretly from time to time and saw her sitting there properly with a smile on her lips, as if she was listening to them seriously.

After all, Yuan Miaoyi was still there, and Zheng Yunyu only said a few words about his son.

Seeing that it was already noon, Pei Zhao also came back while he was talking.

He has been in power over the years, and his momentum has become stronger than when Yuan Miaoyi first met him.He also grew a beard and looked more serious and upright.

Pei Jinan was always a little afraid of Pei Zhao, so when he saw him coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Father, you are back."

Yuan Miaoyi also stood up to greet him and called her uncle.

Pei Zhao responded to his son lightly and looked at Yuan Miaoyi with a gentler look: "Good boy."

Zheng Yunyu stepped forward and took her husband's official hat and handed it to the servant, saying: "Master is back, let's prepare the meal. Yi'er, you have to stay and have dinner with us today. Your uncle hasn't seen you for many years."

Before coming out, Yuan Miaoyi knew that Zheng Yunyu would stay with her for lunch today, so she had already greeted her family.

Since we are all a family, there are no separate tables for lunch.After dinner, Pei Zhao asked Pei Jinan to go to the study room to test his homework.

Yuan Miaoyi accompanied Zheng Yunyu and talked for a long time before leaving and returning home.

Sitting on the carriage returning home, Yuan Miaoyi was shaken to the point of falling asleep.Aunt Cui sat next to her and said, "Girl, can you tell what I mean today?"

Yuan Miaoyi leaned on the soft cushion behind her and said with half-closed eyes: "I can see it. I'm afraid my aunt is deliberately trying to bring me and my cousin Jin An together."
