Hidden golden branches

Chapter 165 Returning
The next day, the golden red glow of the sky broke out from the thick clouds and sparsely shone into the house. The spring is beautiful, and the sun shines brightly across the clouds.

When Chen Rong woke up, he felt that his body was sour, but his body was clean and refreshing.

I fell asleep last night because I was too tired, so he should be the one cleaning me up.

Chen Rong blushed when he thought of it.

When he opened his eyes, what he saw was the mahogany bed made of auspicious clouds, magnolias and unicorns, which was the family's dowry. Ji Yuxian had already gotten up as usual.

She didn't have dinner last night. If she hadn't been hungry, she would have wanted to sleep a little longer.

After washing up, I ate a few chestnut cakes, and waited for Ji Yuxian to come back for breakfast.

When Yu Zhu opened the closet just now, Chen Rong took a look and saw that there were not only his own clothes, but also many Ji Yuxian's clothes.

He was thinking that Ji Yuxian might live with him in Wangrong Courtyard and not return to his Ruoshan Courtyard.

Nothing happened at the moment, so Chen Rongcai walked around Wangrong Hall and took a general look.

Looking at the layout of the room, there is a long table by the window. There is a bird screen inlaid with white jade and emeralds, a small table of nanmu with gold threads worth thousands of gold, and a curtain with gold threads. Now the curtain has been replaced by agarwood-colored satin with tangled branches. The screen is a landscape painting, and a pot of excellent green radish is placed on the small table.

Yesterday, Ji Yuxian, the leader, only took a look and didn't know the purpose of each room. The back room was used as her warehouse, and upon entering was the living room. There were many towering pines, cypresses and locust trees planted in the front yard, which provided thick shade on the ground in summer and was very cool.

The second entrance is the five-room main house where she lives. There is a garden behind the third entrance, which leads to a small pool. There are also white stone steps, but there are only many tung trees planted in the flower garden. The back room is the residence of the girls.

After a while, a refreshed Ji Yuxian walked in slowly, with a spring breeze on his face.

"Rong Rong, why don't you sleep more?" Ji Yuxian approached Chen Rong and asked softly. Then someone lowered his voice and said, "Does it still hurt there?"

Chen Rong's face instantly turned red and she glared at him, secretly cursing in her heart: He is still a gentleman, but he is completely a disciple!

Ji Yuxian was in a very good mood, smiled "haha", pulled the person over, and asked someone to bring the meal in while walking inside.

Chen Rong could only follow him and sit down. He must have asked someone to prepare it when he got up early to leave.

Yellow rice and jujube cake, shredded pork and pickled vegetables, shredded chicken rolls, a cage of steaming longan buns, white sugar snowflake cake, four assorted pickles, cut Yangzhou salted duck eggs, and a bowl of eel noodles.

The Yangzhou salted duck eggs are the most outstanding, orange-red in color, oily and loosely embedded in the mutton-fat white jade-like egg white. She was already hungry, but she became even hungrier after seeing it.

In addition, Ji Yuxian would bring her vegetables from time to time and tell her to eat more, so she ate too much.

Ji Yuxian saw that she did not move much, but she ate one and a half salted duck eggs. This duck egg was actually a tribute, given to him by the prefect of Yangzhou. Since she likes it, she can ask Qingfeng to ask for more.

After she finished eating, Ji Yuxian stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you for a walk."

He walked out with her. There are many weeping crabapples planted in the house, and the crabapple flowers are in bloom right now, making this spring day extraordinarily beautiful.

The Ji family has strong financial resources and spent a lot of money to build this extremely exquisite garden, with lakes and rockeries, glazed tiles at the attic shining brightly at high places, patches of peonies of extraordinary variety that can be seen everywhere in the garden, and a nine-curved verandah built above the lake. , passing through the dense lotus leaves, directly reaching the water pavilion in the center of the lake.

I don’t know how many doors I passed through and how many verandas I walked through. All I could see along the way was that it was all majestic, with carved beams, painted pillars, and gold and color paintings, all showing the luxury and solemnity of the Duke’s Mansion.

With his little wife by his side, Ji Yuxian unconsciously put a smile on his lips and walked slowly along the veranda while holding Chen Rong's little hand.

The waterside pavilion is located in the lake and is open on all sides. There are seats in the middle for people to rest. There are stairs on one side leading to the second floor. Zhu Changjun asked: "Where is it above?"

"It's an attic, a resting place. It's the coolest place in summer. I often rest here until sunset."

Chen Rong was really surprised. It was the first time he saw such an exquisite colored glaze boat. The Great Wei State did not produce colored glaze, so I heard it was an imported product. Wealthy people in the capital who like to be extravagant will install colored glass on their partition windows, with some flower and bird patterns printed on them. When the sun shines, the colors will be colorful, not to mention how beautiful it is.

"Rongrong, when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, how about I take you over to enjoy the lotus on a boat." Ji Yuxian said softly, looking at his beautiful wife with a beautiful smile in front of him.

"Okay, okay!" Chen Rong said happily, and the golden walking stick on her head swayed from side to side with her little head, as if it was beating happily in line with the owner's mood.

Ji Yuxian accompanied Chen Rong to visit the lakeside scenery all morning. Seeing that it was late, he was afraid that Chen Rong would be hungry, so he took Chen Rong to Wangrong Hospital for lunch.

Spring sleepiness, Chen Rong went to take a nap after lunch as usual.

Ji Yuxian went to the study to handle official duties, and listened to his officials report to him on the cases of the past two days.

The emperor gave him three days' leave, and he didn't want to waste it. Just take care of important business matters at home. If you go to the Yamen, you probably won't be able to come back until dark in the morning.

If he saw the many remaining official duties and cases, the hard-working Ji Yuxian would definitely not be able to move away.

Ji Yuxian went home in the dark, and Chen Rongzheng asked Aunt Zhong to go to the kitchen to arrange dinner.

After Ji Yuxian arrived home, Chen Rong asked his mother-in-law to bring hot water. After Ji Yuxian washed up, they had dinner together.

Afterwards, Ji Yuxian took Chen Rong to eat. After returning from eating, the two of them washed up and went to bed.

Ji Yuxian simply slept with Chen Rong in his arms today. It was time to go home tomorrow and he had to get up early.

Early in the morning, two brothers, Chen Zhao and Chen An, came over in a carriage to take Chen Rong home. Chen Rong was very happy to see his second brother. Chen An apologized to Chen Rong with a guilty look on his face: "Rong'er, second brother is sorry for you, but I couldn't come back in time to get you married."

Chen Rong said with a big face: "It doesn't matter, as long as you can come back safely, second brother."

It is said that the second brother is rushing back from a place thousands of miles away, and there are many uncertain factors along the way. Maybe it’s windy and rainy, maybe the road is rough, maybe you’re sick.
Mrs. Zhuang had already prepared two large boxes of various sweets for them, including Sijing fruit, a load of freshly harvested summer oranges, and Sansheng wine. They also packed a whole carriage as a homecoming gift. The four of them were divided into two carriages. Next, there were Granny Zhong, Yu Zhu and others sitting in a carriage at the back. In this way, a total of four carriages drove towards Chen's house.

Nearly half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the Chen family's door, which was wide open.

Chen Youyu knew that his daughter and son-in-law would not be late when they returned home today.

So early in the morning I asked someone to call my two sons over to pick them up from Duke Anguo's mansion.

Chen Youyu and Yun Man came to the front yard after breakfast. As soon as they arrived at the screen wall, they heard the cheerful salute of Butler Chen in the mansion: "I have met my uncle, Miss." Following Butler Chen, he said loudly to the inside: "Quick, go and report to the master, the young lady is back."

Chen Rong smiled and nodded to Butler Chen: "Brother Chen."

Butler Chen said hurriedly: "Good morning, Miss."

Ji Yuxian held Chen Rong's little hand, and as soon as he crossed the high threshold, he saw Chen Youyu and Yun Man turning around to face him.

Ji Yuxian hurriedly let go of Chen Rong's little hand and greeted the two of them respectfully: "My son-in-law has met my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Okay, okay, a good son-in-law is exempt from courtesy." Chen Youyu twirled his beard and said with a happy smile.

Yun Man also smiled and said: "Let's go in and drink tea."

Chen Rong also happily ran to his parents, raised his little face and called out sweetly: "Dad, mother."

Chen Youyu's eyes were slightly red. He looked at his daughter dressing up as a woman, feeling sad in his heart. His face was full of love, and his voice was filled with joy that could not be expressed in words: "Hey, Rong'er is home."

"Good boy, come in with your mother, and let us have a private chat." Yun Man took Chen Rong's little hand, and the mother and daughter walked to the Fuyi Hall in the main courtyard.

Ji Yuxian was brought back to the main hall by his father-in-law and his two uncles. Weng, his son-in-law, and his uncles drank tea and chatted together. Political affairs between North Korea and China cannot be avoided.

Chen Rong was taken back to her bedroom by Yun Man. After entering the door, she immediately kicked out the maid and mother-in-law in the room. Then he told Chen Rong about the affairs in the room.

"Mom!" Chen Rong was extremely shy.

However, Yun Man also knew how much his son-in-law loved his daughter.

Seeing that my daughter was shy, I just brushed it off and didn't mention it.

Anyway, Aunt Zhong and the others are coming back, so just ask Aunt Zhong when the time comes.

Today's lunch is earlier than usual, because Chen Zhao has to rush back to Yuzhou after lunch.

It is a custom in the Wei Dynasty that when a daughter returns to her natal family, the newlyweds also stay overnight at her natal home to show respect for her natal family.

Yun Man knew that her daughter and son-in-law would definitely stay overnight, unlike the eldest son-in-law, who would take Chen Ying away after lunch on the day he returned home.

Therefore, I asked people to clean Jinxiu Courtyard early yesterday.

Today, Chen Youyu's brothers also came with their families to accompany the guests. Chen Ying and his wife came, but Chen Fu couldn't come. They said they were happy.

Chen Rong was surprised: The eldest cousin got married a year ago and has yet to get married. The second cousin got pregnant not even two months after getting married. Well, it’s so fast.

In fact, Chen Rong also knew that his eldest cousin and his wife could come, mainly because his father was both the Minister of Household Affairs and a member of the cabinet.

In addition, Ji Yuxian was not only the eldest son of Duke Anguo, but also the minister of Dali Temple.

The official position is always higher than that of the cousin-in-law Gu Li. If his uncle Chen Yuan had the same official position as his father, Gu Li would not leave after lunch when he came back, and he would not give the Yue family any face.

After lunch, Ji Yuxian took Chen Rong to see Chen Zhao off.

Chen Zhao was still reluctant to leave, but in his heart he was still thinking about his beloved wife who was pregnant in Yuzhou. I could only hold back my tears and say goodbye, mount my horse and leave.

Ji Yuxian still went to the study with his father-in-law after dinner. The father-in-law and his son-in-law seemed to have endless political affairs to talk about.

After sunset, after dinner, Ji Yuxian followed Chen Rong to the boudoir where he could only wait and see but not enter.

Can’t express your expectations in your heart? happy? Excited? Anyway, my heart is surging.
The next morning, after the young couple had breakfast at their parents' house, Ji Yuxian sent Chen Rong back to Anguo Palace and immediately went back to Dali Temple for duty. There were the rest of his official duties for the past few days waiting for him to handle.

Originally there were fifty chapters left, but the results were not satisfactory, so we had to end it early.

However, I feel that this novel is better written than the previous ones.

But the truth is cruel, the novel failed to make the list. No matter how well you write, it is useless.
