After Dao Chen took Zhang Xinyue and Dao He Dao Xu away, Ye Hongyun also said goodbye, "I won't go with you. I have to go home and get some sleep."

Zhang Hulan said hurriedly, "Sister Ye, go back and have a rest. You can't get tired now."

Ye Hongling said, "My sister is going to Tianxianglou for dinner tonight. I won't ask anyone to notify you. You can just go there directly then."

Ye Hongyun nodded, and then took Wu Yunyang home.

As soon as Ye Hongyun arrived at the door of her house, Old Madam Cai came out in a hurry, "Oh, grandma's Yang'er is finally back."

Old Madam Cai hugged Wu Yunyang in her arms, then looked left and right. Seeing that her grandson had not lost any weight, she finally felt relieved.

Ye Hongyun bowed and said, "Mom, I have made sure that I have not abused your eldest grandson."

Madam Cai smiled and took Ye Hongyun's hand, saying with a smile: "I didn't say that, don't wrongly accuse me."

Wu Yunyang said, "Grandma, please let mother go into the house and rest first. She is pregnant with a little brother."

Madam Cai was stunned when she heard this, then she looked at Ye Hongyun in surprise and said, "You are pregnant?"

Ye Hongyun smiled and nodded, "Yes, I got it."

"How many months?"

"About two months."

"You kid, it's been two months, why didn't you write to tell us?"

Ye Hongyun smiled and said, "I was afraid that you and Dad would worry, and I was about to return to Beijing, so I didn't write back."

Madam Cai looked behind Ye Hongyun and asked, "Where is Deyong?"

Wu Yunyang replied: "Dad hasn't come back. He's been away for several months. He doesn't even know that Mom is pregnant."

"What?" Madam Cai was immediately furious. "This bastard, he didn't even know his wife was two months pregnant. What is he busy with all day? Wait until he comes back and I'll show you how I'll deal with him."

Madam Cai hurriedly led Ye Hongyun into the house and said, "Don't be angry, Hongyun. I'll take you out later. You should rest first. I'll ask the doctor to come and see you."

Madam Cai immediately said to the nanny beside her: "Go and inform the old master to invite an imperial physician to come home."

"Yes, old lady!"

"Mom, there's no need to call the doctor. There will be doctors on the way back. And we'll be walking slowly. I'm fine."

"No, no, we have to check it out before we can rest assured." Old Madam Cai then ordered, "Go to the Duke's Mansion and report the good news."

"Yes, old lady!"

Old Madam Cai pushed Ye Hongyun onto the bed, ordered the servants in the mansion to take good care of her, and then sent someone to buy various supplements.

Ye Hongyun felt that she probably wouldn't be able to leave the capital next year, otherwise the old lady would fight with her.

…

On the other side, Ye Hongling took Zhang Hulan to see a house.

The wife of Marquis Jing'an brought people to see the house, and the agent received them very warmly.

The Chinese New Year was just two days away, and Zhang Hulan didn't have time to take her time to choose. She asked about the general conditions of several houses, and then chose a two-story house that cost more than 2,000 taels.

The location of the house is pretty good, it's very convenient to the street, but it's not very big.

Although it is a second courtyard, it has fewer rooms than the single courtyard in Daping Village.

Zhang Hulan saw the house and was quite satisfied with it, so she decided to buy it right away.

The broker offered 2,800 taels, and Ye Hongling bargained directly, "2,200 taels."

The broker looked embarrassed and said, "Mrs. Ye, you are bargaining too hard. The owner would pay more than this price for this house."

Ye Hongling said: "Then tell me the actual price."

The broker said, "Mrs. Ye, to be honest, before I came here, my boss had already told me that we would give you the lowest price. We will not make a penny from you for this house.

You also know that this house facing the street is definitely more expensive. If someone else were to buy it, we would have to sell it for at least three thousand taels."

As the broker spoke, he took out a piece of paper, which was the previous sales contract for the house.

It said on it that the pawnshop bought the house for two thousand eight hundred taels of silver from the previous owner.

Zhang Hulan said, "That's it. This house is indeed OK."

If it was an ordinary person who came to buy, Zhang Hulan would suspect that the receipt was forged. But the one who brought her here was the wife of a marquis, so the people in the pawnbroker would not dare to fool her.

He went back to the pawnshop to sign the contract, paid the money and got the title deed. From then on, the house belonged to Zhang Hulan, and it would be their home in the capital.

Then he went back to the inn, asked the servants to clean up, and then went to buy some things.

Ye Hongling and Wang Xingren stayed with him the whole afternoon, and even called the servants from the mansion to help clean the yard.

…

In the Imperial Observatory, Xuanqing looked at Daohe, Daoxu and Zhang Xinyue, with a strange look in his eyes.

He asked Daochen, "Why did your master ask you to come to the capital in advance?"

Dao Chen replied: "I don't know either. Master suddenly told me to bring Dao and the others to find Uncle Shi."

Xuan Qing asked again: "Did your master ask you to take over from me?"

Dao Chen said helplessly: "I said it, but I don't want to..."

"That won't work."

Before Daochen finished speaking, Xuanqing said, "Your master has spoken, so just stay here honestly.

I will introduce you to the emperor later, and you will succeed me.

After being trapped for decades, it's time for me to free myself.

Your master has done me a great disservice, I will come back to settle the score with him later."

At that time, Emperor Yongsheng wanted Xuanzhen to be the imperial teacher and the director of the Imperial Observatory, but Xuanzhen ran away and sold Xuanqing, causing Xuanqing to stay in the capital for decades.

Now that the successor has arrived, Xuanqing can finally go out and have fun.

Then Xuanqing looked at Daohe and Daoxu again, with a more complicated look in his eyes, especially towards Daohe.

Finally, Xuan Qing looked at Zhang Xinyue again, smiled and said nothing, then asked Dao Chen, "Did your master give you any instructions?"

Dao Chen said, "Master said that everything should be arranged by the Emperor."

Xuan Qing nodded, "Okay, got it. Are you staying with me or somewhere else?"

"Dao and Daoxu will live here with Uncle Master, while Daoning will go back home to live."

Zhang Xinyue immediately asked: "Brother, Daohe Daoxu also lives in my house."

Dao Chen said, "It's OK during the New Year, but probably not in the future."

"Oh, then they will spend the New Year at our house."

Daochen then said to Xuanqing, "Uncle Master, I will take them back to the inn first, and I will come back later."

Xuan Qing nodded, "Okay, go ahead."

…

We just randomly found a restaurant to eat at noon, and only in the evening did we formally welcome the Zhang family.

Tianxianglou is the best restaurant in the capital. In the evening, in addition to Ye Hongling and Wang Xingren, Lord Wang, Madam Yang and Wang Xingyao were all there.

Old Marquis Wang and Wang Xingyao were already familiar with each other, and both were very happy, but Old Madam Yang looked a little indifferent.

Although she no longer opposed the marriage, it was impossible for her to like Zhang Dahua that much.

Between her grandson and granddaughter, she naturally prefers her grandson.

But between outsiders and her granddaughter, she definitely prefers her granddaughter.
