Golden branches around the East Palace

Chapter 10 Greeting the old lady

A group of people left Zihua courtyard and walked towards the old lady's Wutong courtyard.

Zihua Courtyard is located at the westernmost part of the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, while the old lady's Wutong Courtyard is located in the northeast direction. It will take at least two quarters of an hour to go from Zihua Courtyard.

This also happened to give An Xiying the opportunity to observe the Hou's mansion.

An Xixi used to be in the secret service team. When she was on vacation, she would also go for a walk. She also visited some ancient palaces and gardens, which were roughly similar to the Hou Mansion of Jingguo that she saw now.Judging from the architectural style and environment here, this place should belong to the Central Plains area.

When they walked to Wutong Courtyard, they heard laughter and laughter from inside.

The Yu family has not set foot here for many years, and coming here now, it can't help feeling like a world away.She turned her head and glanced at her daughter who was already as tall as herself, and her heart was full of comfort and strength.No matter what happens in the future, as long as her daughter is well, she will be content.

An Xitang felt Yushi's gaze, nodded to her, and said softly, "Don't worry."

What about Mrs. Hou Ye, these concubine An Xi didn't pay attention to them all.She didn't intend to waste time in such a useless place for the rest of her life, but now, she still didn't understand a lot about this world, and she had to think long-term about what she wanted to do.

Her daughter's comfort made Yu's nose sore, but this was outside the old lady's parasol courtyard, and she couldn't lose her manners, so she couldn't hold back the tears.She has waited for so many years, and finally the bitterness has come to an end. For her, nothing is more important than her daughter.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a maid went in to report, but no one came out to greet them.The laughter and laughter they had heard seemed to stop abruptly the moment they entered the door.

After entering the hall, Mrs. Yu stepped forward to salute Mrs. Lin: "Daughter-in-law pays respects to mother."

However, An Xiying glanced at Yingying Yanyan in the room. A kind-looking old lady was sitting on the bed directly above, holding a four or five-year-old boy in her arms. The servant girls and two well-dressed women, on the soft chairs on both sides, were sitting several girls, big and small. There were more than 20 women in the room. .

Mrs. Lin looked at Mrs. Yu, and after a while, she said, "Sit down."

She did not expect that Mrs. Yu, who has been closed for so many years, would come to her Wutong courtyard.Thinking of this daughter-in-law, she was full of anger. As the wife of the Hou Mansion, she actually had a quarrel with the Hou Ye. She hid in her yard for many years and gave birth to a stupid daughter. The face of the Hou Mansion was completely lost by her.But she is also the princess of Yu Kingdom, with golden branches and jade leaves. Although Yu Kingdom is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, the two countries are allies. If something happens, the current emperor will definitely intervene.They also want face in the Jingguo Mansion, so they can't bring family affairs to the court.

Suppressing the sullenness in her heart, Lin's eyes fell on the granddaughter who was said to have recovered, and smiled and waved to An Xipin: "Jiu girl, come to grandma."

An Xitang glanced at her mother who was about to speak, but still walked towards the old lady.

Lin took An Xiying's hand: "In just a blink of an eye, the nine girls have grown up so much, and it's time to pass the ceremony next month. Then ask your sister-in-law to do the ceremony for you."

Saying that, she also took off a bracelet inlaid with gold thread and jade in her hand, and put it on for An Xixiong.
