Chapter 89
It was past midnight when Zheng Jingyan returned to the Hou's mansion, the shadow of the moon moved westward, the night dew was cold, and there was no one in the mansion, except for the soft singing of crickets among the flowers, leaves and silk grass.

He entered Hanjin Courtyard as usual, instead of going to the study, he walked briskly towards Yuhui Courtyard.

As the weather got warmer, the women on duty moved around more frequently. As soon as the two women came out of the upper corridor of the Yuhui Courtyard, they saw a white shadow "floating" over from the moon gate leading to the Hanjin Courtyard. He was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, but he saw the white shadow approaching him in the blink of an eye. Looking carefully, it turned out to be his own Lord Hou!
The mother-in-law patted her chest and panted: "Hey! Master Hou, why are you walking without making a sound, as if flying over, scaring this old servant!"

Zheng Jingyan smiled, and said to the two wives: "Mothers have worked hard, the night is cool, let the young lady give you two glasses of good wine tomorrow!"

Hou Ye asked for a reward, not just two glasses of good wine?A good meal on the table is indispensable!

The two mothers-in-law narrowed their eyes with smiles, and one flattered the other: "Master Hou has been working hard in the study until now, but, but our young lady has just rested, and the lights have all been turned off."

The other patted her: "Young Madam will get up early tomorrow, so she must take a rest first. If the young man doesn't rest enough, she will be upset and not in a good mood!"

Zheng Jingyan smiled and said: "Exactly. I have something to stay in the study tonight, so let her rest first, don't wait... It's okay, mothers go to work on their own!"

The two women agreed in unison, they were blessed, and walked along the corridor towards Hanjin's courtyard.

Zheng Jingyan walked to the door, stretched out his hand and pushed gently, and the door was actually bolted down.

His heart sank slightly, knowing that Yiqing lowered the tie just for the sake of safety, not against him, but still felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

He didn't even let the door open!Xia Yiqing, do you still want to see beauties?
Sitting opposite each other on the soft couch, the girl would lean down on the desk to take a nap when she was bored looking through the account books, or she would rest her chin to look at his face, and when she was caught, she smiled awkwardly and said blatantly: looking at a beauty is equivalent to washing your eyes and dispelling sleepiness I mean...otherwise you can look at me too!

He dislikes people staring at his face the most, calling him a "beauty" is even more courting death, but the person in front of him is Xia Yiqing, so he can only preach with a straight face, "It's okay to joke occasionally in the room, but it's not allowed outside." !"

For Zheng Jingyan, the door bolt on the exquisitely carved door leaf was just a decoration, and he just pulled it out a few times, and the door opened.

I closed the door and entered, but saw the bright moonlight shining into the bedroom through the window screen, and I could walk freely in the room without lighting the lamp.

Going in and looking at Yiqing, she was still sleeping sideways on the bed, her long hair hanging down the edge of the bed, like a waterfall like satin, Zheng Jingyan bent down and reached out to stroke the thick and soft black silk, it was still a little wet, could it be that she sleeps like this every time , all for drying your hair?

Without waking up Yiqing to get the quilt, Zheng Jingyan fumbled for a change of clothes from the closet. Usually there are two or three buckets of hot water tightly covered in the clean room. After taking a shower, he went back to the outer room to lie down on the soft couch. Next, sleep peacefully for a few hours, then get up and wake up Yiqing.

Xia Yiqing, who woke up early in the morning, was dumbfounded, as if she didn't get enough sleep, her appearance was indescribably funny and cute, every morning when she saw that girl crawling down from the bed with a sad face, her hair disheveled and no image, she walked in front of her. The happiest time!
The next day, at dawn, Zheng Jingyan was woken up by Hua Yu's shouting outside the door. It turned out that Yiqing thought last night that he would not go back to the room to rest, so she asked Hua Yu to wake him up, so as not to oversleep and miss entering the temple to offer incense Things.

Zheng Jingyan turned over and walked into the inner room. Seeing that Yiqing was still sleeping soundly on the bed, he probably had to wait until Hua Yu yelled to break her throat before waking her up.

According to the old method, she raised her hand and tapped three times on the partition panel, Yiqing made a movement, turned over and got up, this time she didn't just sit in a daze, but directly got out of the Qingluo soft tent and stared Looking at him with rounded eyes, he said:

"Aren't you not coming back? I locked the door, how did you get in?"

Zheng Jingyan said with a straight face: "Did I say I won't come back? Where can I go to sleep? You want the old lady to find fault with me?"

"No, what... oh, let's not talk about it! Did you break the door?"

"No, you can go and check - you didn't let go of the tie last night!"

Zheng Jingyan said solemnly, Yiqing stared at him blankly, and murmured: "Impossible! I obviously tied it!"

"Okay, don't think about it, get up quickly, the girls are waiting outside, I'm afraid the old lady and the wife will get well soon!"

Zheng Jingyan went out to open the door, took two steps, then turned around and said, "Last night I came back late, and I met the ladies on duty, and promised to reward them with some good wine and good food, remember!"

Yiqing promised, walked slowly to the dressing table and sat down, waiting for Huayu and the others to come in and comb her hair and put it in a bun.

The old lady asked to leave the city early, and when the sky was bright, the family packed up and boarded the car one after another.

Two spacious carriages, Yiqing and his wife share one carriage, the old lady takes Fang Zhengshi and Wang Wenhui in one carriage, servants and maids sit in a few small carriages in the back, and the other two flat carriages are piled up with goods It is cloth, food, candies and medicines given to the orphans and children adopted in the monastery.

Gan Song and Du Zhong led more than a dozen guards and stewards of the Hou Mansion to lead the way on horseback, while Zheng Jingyan followed closely beside the carriage of his grandmother and mother, followed by a dozen or twenty young and middle-aged servants, all on horseback. Ma, a group of people walked out of Houfumen Lane and turned into the street, attracting countless people to watch.

Zheng Jingyan quit the team and went back to the city after being sent straight to the outside of the city for more than ten miles. Before leaving, he said a few words to his grandmother and mother respectively, and told Yiqing:
"Take care of grandma and mother!"

Yiqing opened the window screen and nodded seriously to him: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I will."

As he spoke, his eyes moved, looking at the wild spring scenery, with a comfortable and joyful smile on his face.

Zheng Jingyan looked behind him, and four or five of his attendants lowered their eyes. He turned his head and gave Yiqing a look: "What's the proper way? People are coming and going on the road, how can you open the window at will?"

"Yes."

Yiqing pouted, wanting to boo him: This man is so boring, he has been locked up in the city for so long, and finally went out to the suburbs to get some fresh air, wouldn't he cooperate to make him refreshed?

Zheng Jingyan saw that she was full of reluctance, and slowly lowered the window screen. Knowing that she was only yearning for the beautiful spring in front of him, he still couldn't help but soften his heart, and said to her: "Your father... your father-in-law's boat arrived this morning!"

Yiqing raised the window screen and looked at him with her head tilted: "Really? Then I..."

Zheng Jingyan said gently: "Isn't there something else going on in our family today? Just now, the Pang Mansion sent someone to report it to grandma and mother in the evening. I will go back with you tomorrow."

"Okay, that's how it is. Master Hou is busy with his own affairs. The old lady, the lady has me by my side!"

Yiqing smiled and waved to him, and put down the window screen.

Zheng Jingyan watched the carriage pass by, turned back and told Du Zhong: "Send someone to find out, who did my father-in-law bring from Jiangnan? Also, let the steward of the Hou's mansion lead a few servants to bring the third place on Guangming Street into the courtyard." Clean it up, see what is missing in the household utensils, and fill them in."

Du Zhong promised, and went to order two people, confessed a few words, and asked them to go back to the city immediately.

Zheng Jingyan also turned his horse's head, but instead of turning back, he took a long way to the south gate and entered the city. He just pretended to accompany his family out of the city and went to the temple to offer incense. In reality, how could he have such free time?He has to go to Qin Wang's mansion quickly, where a lot of people are waiting for him.
