Yue Fuguang's words made Yu Boming, who was already blushing, blush even more. He cautiously glanced at the elders and his sister, who was clearly making a face at him.
Na Na nodded, "Don't worry, Fu Guang, Second Brother has remembered everything!"
Yu Chongshan looked at his grandchildren, his smile never fading.
Several elders, including Wang Shoushen, surrounded him, praising him with envy.
Yu Chongshan never refused any praise from his colleagues and accepted it all with a smile!
Emperor Mingxi felt a pang of envy and sadness watching this. This old fellow was getting better and better at putting on an act, but it had to be said that he had the ability to do so.
If Fu Guang had been born into their royal family, he would probably have already started expanding their territory by now!
On her first day of work, He Jin watched her master interact with the emperor and the crown prince, and chat and laugh with a group of important officials.
Moreover, everything was subtly centered around her. Even the emperor, if she wasn't mistaken, showed deference to the Junior Tutor, speaking in a familiar tone, mainly to coax him.
The Crown Prince of Dayan became a mere background figure for the Junior Tutor, always by her side. Although he didn't say much, everyone could see that his respect for the Junior Tutor was no less than his respect for the Emperor.
Crown Prince: I only show respect to my father out of courtesy, but I truly respect the Junior Tutor!
He Jin suddenly thought of his father, who had successfully become a disciple of the Junior Tutor and had become the Junior Tutor's bodyguard, a proper fifth-rank official position in the imperial court.
The father, who should have returned to Seven Swords Manor after finishing his business, was not in a hurry to go back.
In his words, he needed to do something for his master before he could go back in peace.
He Qisha: Silly girl, although we have managed to latch onto the young master's powerful backer, there are so many people around the young master, and his subordinates are also divided into those who are close to him and those who are not.
He had to do more for the Junior Tutor and increase his importance in the Master's heart before he could feel at ease to go back!
"Second Sister, look, it's Second Brother's group!"
At this time, the taverns and teahouses along the main street of the capital were filled with housekeepers, ladies, and young women, whom they rarely saw on ordinary days.
Meanwhile, the women of the Yu family were sitting in Fumanlou, the largest restaurant on Tianjie Street, drinking tea and waiting for the army to pass by.
At this moment, Yu Ningzi, the third daughter, called out to Yu Ningxuan. The Yu sisters quickly ran to the window, opened a small window, and looked out. "Where are they? Why haven't we seen Second Brother and the others yet?"
Seeing the sisters huddled together at the window, Madam Yu shook her head, suppressing a smile, and said, "Be careful, don't fall!"
Yu Ningxin, who was gradually becoming more lively, smiled and turned to the old lady, saying, "Grandmother, don't worry, I'll check if Xiao Qi has come."
Madam Zhang smiled and said to the old lady, "Mother, Xin'er looks much more clever than before."
Madam Yu smiled and whispered to her three daughters-in-law, "That's good. Our daughters, with their younger sisters around, must not be petty and tarnish our reputation."
Even illegitimate daughters are destined to marry into good families and enjoy a life of happiness, so they themselves must also establish themselves.
Madam Yu specifically said to the second wife, Wang, "Your eldest sister-in-law has to manage the household and also keep an eye on all the affairs in Fuguang Courtyard. She doesn't have the energy to spare."
Second son's family, please take good care of the children of the third branch, especially the third and fifth daughters.
They're both of marriageable age now, so we need to teach them properly.
The two grandsons of the third wife have their own father, grandfather, and uncle looking after them, but the girls live in the inner quarters, where Sun Shi used to have them raised by their own concubines.
The concubine herself came from a humble background or was a slave; what knowledge or experience could she possibly have to teach her daughter well?
Therefore, it is necessary to entrust the granddaughter to the second son's family, who come from a prestigious background, for better care.
The Yu family hired several tutors to teach the girls in the family, but in terms of managing household affairs and interpersonal relationships, the tutors were not necessarily better than the eldest and second sons from prestigious families.
"Grandmother, Mother, it's my second brother! I see my second brother!"
The women of the Yu family looked at Yu Boming, who was sitting on a chestnut horse, looking very dashing in his armor, and couldn't help but show excitement and reluctance in their eyes.
Zhang said, "Second sister-in-law, Xiao Er looks really dashing in that armor!"
Wang said modestly, "This is all thanks to Fu Guang. Xiao Er is just benefiting from having such a good younger sister!"
Yu Ningxuan added, "My aunt, mother, and seventh sister said that my second brother's garment is called Shanwenjia. This is the second piece of the Dayan set he's wearing."
Seventh Sister also said that the soldiers of Dayan would gradually be equipped with this kind of armor.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard her say "Seventh Sister" over and over again.
Just then, Yu Boming's horse arrived at the restaurant where the women of the Yu family were staying. As soon as Yu Boming entered the street, he kept looking in this direction because his seventh sister had told him that the women of the family would be here to see him off.
Who knew that as soon as he got close, he heard his mother's distinctive laughter, as well as his aunt and aunt's voices...
They're so happy that I'm going on a long trip?
Yu Boming felt wronged and wanted to talk to someone. When he turned around, he saw Lin Huaijing, dressed in the same clothes, following closely behind him on horseback.
It must be said that, even Lin Huaijing, who looks the most frail, appears more heroic when he puts on this armor.
"Ah Jing..." Lin Huaijing glanced at Yu Boming's overflowing desire to confide, then looked up at Yu's aunts, who were all smiling at them...
It was only later that Yue Fuguang learned that the women of the Yu family had seen off the tearful Yu Boming with smiles on their faces.
If Zheng Feng, who had already been promoted to deputy commander, hadn't been able to keep his temper in check and manage to coax Yu Boming away out of consideration for Yue Fuguang, Yu Boming would probably have become a spectacle on the way to his departure.
Aunt Yu said, "Fu Guang is right. We should get Xiao Er's wedding arranged next year. If a boy doesn't get married and take on responsibilities, he'll never grow up, no matter how old he gets."
Moonlight would like to add a line: A man is a boy until he dies!
Her mother, Zhang, also laughed and said, "That's right! So the eldest son's marriage needs to be settled as soon as possible. If he keeps delaying his marriage, it will affect the marriages of his younger brothers and sisters."
"Mother, do you already have someone in mind to replace my eldest sister-in-law?"
When this was mentioned, Zhang Shi smiled broadly. She took Yue Fuguang's hand and said, "Your mother and aunt came to see you today for this very reason."
Aunt Yu chimed in, "Fu Guang, the Hong family's daughter, the one whose maiden name is Yue Ling, what do you think?"
Hong Yueling? Judging from her mother and second aunt's expressions, after all this, is Miss Hong really going to be her sister-in-law?
"Miss Hong, I think it's quite good." Yue Fuguang thought for a moment but couldn't help but remind her, "Mother, are my elder brother and Miss Hong willing themselves?"
Although marriages here are traditionally arranged by parents and matchmakers, their family now has the means, so they naturally want to choose a marriage partner that both parties are willing to marry.
Hong Yueling is a girl with her own ideas and thoughts. Although she had many unavoidable circumstances, she eventually had to marry Murong Qian.
But as the saying goes, a forced relationship is never sweet. Even if you end up living a good life together, if you're unhappy, how can you expect to live a fulfilling life?
