Chapter 98
Xu Xiaoman had already watched it, and when he saw something funny he pulled Zhong Yun to watch it with him, saying, "…Duoduo, that little rascal, said that Liu Qiang only clung to Wang Yuansun and didn't play with him, so he threatened Liu Qiang and threatened to be the evil man who beat up the couple, which frightened Liu Qiang into obediently giving in and playing flying chess with him."
"Then it must be on the ship heading south." Zhong Yun's guess was correct. He then looked at the second sheet of letter paper in Xiaoman's hand and asked, "What did he write on the first sheet? Just this little bit of nonsense on the second page?"
Xu Xiaoman casually handed the first one to Zhong Yun and said, "What nonsense! Duoduo misses us in every word."
"He just got bored on the road. Fine, I'll believe it for now." Zhong Yun took the first page and looked at it. His face was dull. He and Xiaoman's good eldest son wrote on the first page: My dear fathers, you must miss me very much. I miss you too. I have been in Daxi Prefecture for more than a month now. I will count the interesting things that happened before and tell you...
Zhong Yun read a few lines and didn't want to read the first one anymore. Then he looked at the scattered letters on the table and couldn't help laughing. He leaned on Xiao Man's shoulder and said, "Read it and tell me when you're done."
"Okay." But Xu Xiaoman didn't believe that Zhong Yun could resist looking. Zhong Yun always complained that Duoduo was talkative and fussy, but he really cared about her in his heart. After all, she was his biological daughter - well, she was his biological daughter, and he and Duoduo were the closest!
Xu Xiaoman read it with great interest. The letter written by Duoduo was very interesting.
"When he was on the boat, he ate a kind of fish with silvery flesh on the outside, which was very tender. It was called whitebait."
"Also, he and Xiao Qiang were playing flying chess, and Duoduo said that Xiao Qiang was a terrible chess player—"
Zhong Yun: "Can flying chess be called a bad chess player?"
"They are all chess. Don't underestimate flying chess." Xu Xiaoman said, and asked Zhao Erxi to play flying chess. He looked eager to try: "Let's play a game later."
"Duoduo said Xiaoqiang had very bad luck, and it brought bad luck to him too."
Zhong Yun was very interested in Xiao Man's proposal and agreed immediately. The two also talked about "bets". The husband and wife read their son's letter while playing, which was like a pastime after a busy day at work. It was very interesting, but because the prince wrote so much, they did not finish reading it that night.
"It's late, let's see tomorrow." Zhong Yun said.
Xu Xiaoman agreed, saying that this would make them happy for a few more days. Every day while working, he would want to read Duoduo's letters with his wife in the evening and play together!
The letters from the prince were a pastime for the emperor and empress.
Three days passed since the letter was read. The Empress was very active after work during these three days. Emperor Ningwu also finished his government affairs early every day. The Emperor and Empress read the letter in Xuanzheng Hall. The Empress read: It's all Liu Qiang's fault that I recognized the wrong person. I thought the one running in the front was Yan Jinjin. He is still a beautiful and handsome little figurine.
The Queen said, "Duoduo also said that Yan Jinjin is a pretty little figurine. He was very pretty when he was a child, and he was as chubby as the boy sitting under the Bodhisattva."
"It is indeed very fleshy." Emperor Ningwu commented sharply.
The Queen smiled and patted the Emperor, then continued to look at him. After a while, she said, "It turns out that this little figurine is Yan Jinjin's nephew, Yan Huaiying's son. No wonder he is so small. Duoduo has recognized the wrong person. The nephew looks like his uncle."
"I look a lot like my uncle." The emperor said, and then added, "The old marquis said earlier that Duo Fu looked more like my uncle when he was young."
Xu Xiaoman has already praised, "Duoduo said that he could hardly recognize Yan Jinjin after she grew up. Now she looks just like the top scholar in the storybook."
Zhong Yun was still thinking about the previous topic, and said casually: "That Duofu is not bad looking, he looks like my uncle, he is also quite good-looking."
"Of course. If Duoduo looks like you and your uncle, he must be good-looking."
Zhong Yun smiled first and said, "In fact, Xuan Duofu is also like you. We have similar personalities. If you look closely, you can see that he has a similar lively demeanor between his eyebrows and eyes. Add to that my looks, and I have the best of both of you and me. No one can compare to me."
The two fathers are here to show their sons how handsome they are. Xu Xiaoman continued to watch, and Zhong Yun came back to his senses and realized something was wrong, "What did you just say?"
"Yan Jinjin's nephew is that pretty little figurine. He said he planted some cucumbers and will give us plenty to eat when the first batch of cucumbers comes out."
Zhong Yun: "How old is this nephew?"
"Looks like twelve or thirteen years old." Xu Xiaoman replied.
Zhong Yun thought that he was still young and was just eating a cucumber, and then he said, "How come Hao Duofu eats everywhere?"
"Let's go out and play. What else can we do if we don't eat?" Xu Xiaoman chatted while protecting the cub.
After reading this letter, Xuanyuefu wrote about climbing a mountain to a Taoist temple. There was a cute little Taoist priest in the temple.
Xu Xiaoman felt something was wrong, "Our Duoduo seems to pay a lot of attention to men's appearance."
Zhong Yun has fallen silent.
The husband and wife actually knew what was going on. In the past few years, many ladies of noble birth had brought their daughters and riches to attend the palace banquets every year. They also asked the two concubines to inquire, trying to find out - when would the prince marry? Even if he didn't marry for the time being, should he take a concubine?
How could the two concubines dare to take charge of such an important event as the prince's marriage? They raised the matter to the queen in private and tactfully. Then Xu Xiaoman and Zhong Yun decided that Duoduo should not let them rush him into marriage, so they thought of holding more banquets during the New Year and letting Duoduo play with young people. Maybe they would fall in love with each other.
Result - nothing happened.
By the way, was today fun?
Many people talk about whose sister has a lively personality, she is very good at playing spinning tops, today's meal is delicious, Hongdandan is getting more and more quiet, it must be Wen Erdan who is restrained in temperament. At the end, he sighed that Wen Erdan was doing it for Hongdandan's own good.
Zhong Yun said afterwards: Xu Duofu is just talking nonsense.
Xu Xiaoman: That means I don’t like it.
I don’t know who I like.
Now the prince praised the young Taoist priest in the Taoist temple in his letter, and Zhong Yun said, "He wouldn't fall in love with the young Taoist priest in the Taoist temple, would he?"
Xu Xiaoman was so scared that he read his son's letter carefully, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "No, the little Taoist boy is about seven or eight years old, an orphan. Duoduo is kind-hearted and said that the other party is as serious as a little adult. The two of them played catching stones for a while, and the little Taoist boy lost."
Zhong Jue:......
Many people have nothing to do every day.
Then the business came. Xu Xiaoman didn't want to read the business, so he handed it to his wife, "It's said that he is a distant relative of Lord Mei's family. There are so many twists and turns, I haven't figured it out yet, you can figure it out."
Zhong Yun was even more speechless when he saw it.
"If you don't put serious things first, it's not a big deal if you have many blessings."
Then Emperor Ningwu went to work for his son.
What many Fu considered to be "big things" and "important things" were actually nothing in the eyes of his emperor father. The sequelae and minor problems after the land reform were all minor matters, individual cases that could not shake the foundation of Dasheng.
But Xuan Fu wanted to take care of it, so let him do it. Mei Yuan's distant relatives asked Mei Yuan to handle it himself, knocking and knocking - Zhong Yun fell into deep thought for a moment, thinking about the position of an official in the court, and went to the study.
Xu Xiaoman was still laughing here. He didn't care about the positions of officials in the court. He didn't have the brains for it. He didn't understand the balance and game of imperial tactics. It was so fun to watch Duoduo writing letters.
When the two fathers finished reading the letter and started to get busy, that is, at the end of April, Xuanyifu had actually almost resolved the issues of the five prefectures in Wuheng Mountain. After all, his reputation as the crown prince was enough, and he was also ordered to tour the south.
For trivial local matters, there is no need to ask his emperor father for help.
The land of Haihua's family was returned, and drawing on the experience of the magistrate of Zongshan Prefecture, gambling was banned in the village. As the former tenant farmers had become the new village, the village chief had to take responsibility and do a good job of anti-fraud publicity.
Once Haihua's husband gets addicted to gambling, if he finds it difficult to quit, and gambles on land again in the future, he will be thrown into jail for a few years to serve as an example to the villagers, to deter the active-minded villagers. After only a few years of eating well, his stomach starts to get messy.
In late April, Yan Huaijin observed a hundred days of mourning for his mother and burned the Taoist scriptures of the last day. Yan Huaijin and Yan Huaiying, brother and sister, also burned their mourning clothes and hemp clothes. Yan Huaiying was going to return to Zongshan Prefecture with her husband and son, and Cheng Ming was going to teach in Fushan Prefecture. This was originally the plan, but because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince adhered to the principle of "since I'm here, I'm here", he had previously announced to the public that he would send a dowry to Yan Huaijin's niece.
So His Royal Highness the Crown Prince decided to take a trip to Zongshan Prefecture.
Yan Huaijin had been to Zongshan Mansion once when his second sister was getting married, following the wedding procession. He was still young at that time. “It was quite fun. If we climbed to the top of the mountain, we could see the sea, which was very blessed.”
"How old were you then?" Xuan Fu emphasized.
Yan Huaijin: “About three years old.”
"You still remember what it was like when you were three?" Xuanyuefu was shocked. Yan Huaijin hummed, "But I didn't climb up there. My uncle and the servants carried me up there."
It is very convenient to go to Zongshan Prefecture by water, and everyone is riding on the big ship of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Xuanyifu and Yan Huaijin watched the scenery and played the piano on the boat every day. Yan Huaijin taught him to play the piano, which was quite fun. However, after Xuanyifu learned a song called "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star", he hummed the tune while Yan Jinjin taught him and even wrote out the score, but he couldn't understand it.
After learning one song, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was already satisfied with his three-minute enthusiasm.
The two of them had endless things to say.
Liu Qiang finally had a break and followed Wang Yuansun on patrols and meals every day. They would also play and fight with each other when they had nothing to do. Wang Yuansun's version of the story was that the two of them had a martial arts competition to warm up.
In Liu Qiang's love-brained mind, that was nothing but affectionateness.
It took seven days to travel by water from Daxi Prefecture to Zongshan Prefecture. Your Highness's boat was heavy and moved a little slower, so we arrived at sunrise on the eighth morning.
Manyu Fu asked Yan Jinjin to watch the sunrise together.
"It really looks like a red salted duck egg." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince exclaimed.
Yan Huaijin: "Xu Duofu, do you want to eat salted duck eggs?"
"Neither, okay? I want to eat white porridge with salted duck egg yolk, no egg white." Xuan Xuanfu felt hungry after he said that.
Yan Huaijin said: "When we got to the shore, I heard Baoning say that the white porridge pot here with fish slices is very fresh and tender--"
"Then add some salted duck eggs and you can have fish porridge!" Xuan Fu said.
Yan Huaijin agreed, "Let's add some prawns, it will be very fresh and sweet."
"Okay, okay, okay." Many of the people who liked it swallowed their saliva.
The two laughed. Soon the boat docked, and the local county magistrate came to receive them. Xuanyuefu had met him before. He was a good man, and had already prepared a mansion for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stay in. Xuanyuefu felt at ease and justified staying at Yan Huaijin's place, but staying at Cheng's house was a layer away, so he lived in the mansion arranged by the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was extremely happy and hurriedly asked His Highness to get on the carriage first.
"I'll send my second sister back first." Yan Huaijin said.
Xuanyunfu said, "Okay, if we can catch up, we can have a pot of white porridge for lunch."
"good."
Before noon, Yan Huaijin arrived at the residence where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was staying, holding a bamboo bag in one hand, and handed it to Steward Wang personally. Manyu Fu asked curiously what it was.
"Salted duck eggs. I asked the locals and they said the eggs here are the best."
Many Buddhists rubbed their hands and said, "That's a coincidence. Wang Banban has found a local cook and has prepared a pot of porridge for you to eat."
It is spring at its peak and the flowers are in full bloom.
The two of them had lunch under the tree in the yard. They ate hot pot from noon until Xuan Duofu felt sleepy. Finally, Xuan Duofu held his stomach and shouted, "I want to take a nap. After I have rested well, we will go hiking tomorrow."
"There's no need to be so anxious."
"It's urgent. It's a nice spring day, and it's not raining. I should go out for a walk more often. I always feel like I've gained some weight recently."
Yan Huaijin looked at it carefully, and then he leaned over and said, "Look at my face."
"A little rounder."
Xuanyu Fu: "... Yan Jinjin, you are such a straight man."
"What do you mean?" Yan Huaijin was studious.
Xuanyu Fu said, "You said you liked me, but I howled and said I was fat, and you really thought I was round."
"But you look cuter and prettier with a rounder face," Yan Huaijin said.
Xuanyu Fu: ...became mute.
His face felt a little hot again, and only then did he notice that the two of them were getting quite close. Xuan Fuduo glanced at Yan Jinjin and muttered, "Your eyelashes are quite long." Thick and dense.
"So do you like my long eyelashes?"
Manyu Fu's face was flushed, which he didn't know. On the surface, he remained calm and moved back a little, saying stubbornly, "It's okay."
"That means I like you." Yan Huaijin affirmed.
Many blessings: ...
"I'm going to bed!"
Yan Huaijin saw Xuanfu shyly waving his arms and running away, with a smile in his eyes, and then went to Xu Lingguan to ask for advice, "It's too late for me to practice martial arts now, I just want to strengthen my body, how can I do it?"
Xu Lingguan also started learning martial arts relatively late. He glanced at Master Yan and said, "Then let's practice the basic skills. I first learned the boxing techniques of the Liu family and the Wang family. The Wang family's boxing techniques are more suitable for me, while the Liu family's boxing techniques are more courageous and neat..."
"I've learned them all." Yan Huaijin said, and then asked, "Do you want to ask General Wang and his wife?"
Xu Lingguan: "You should ask." This boxing technique is not his.
Master Yan is a really nice person.
Liu Qiang and Wang Yuansun didn't know where to hide, but Xu Lingguan knew a way, which he learned from His Highness. All he had to do was find out General Wang's usual patrol route, and while searching, he could shout to make some noise.
When Yan Huaijin and Xu Lingguan met Liu Qiang and Wang Yuansun, one of them blushed and the other had a red mouth. Yan Huaijin looked straight ahead and told them the purpose of his visit, but he was particularly envious in his heart.
The two of them naturally said no problem.
Liu Qiang: "I've left it all to you. Officer Ling, why are you being so formal with me? Just go about your business." Don't disturb me!
"I think we should ask." Yan Huaijin said.
"Then we two won't disturb you from doing your work." Xu Lingguan didn't hide his sarcasm.
When Wang Yuansun looked over, Xu Lingguan immediately stopped smiling and joking, clasped his fists and said, "Excuse me for disturbing you." Then he quickly ran away.
Yan Huaijin first went back to change into clothes that were convenient for practicing martial arts, then stood in the yard and asked Xu Lingguan to teach him boxing. He was indeed thin and weak, and his strength was not even as good as Xu Lingguan's. He immediately regretted that he should have strengthened his body in the past four years, and he should eat more every day from now on.
In the next few days, Xuanyifu and Yan Huaijin went out together. They climbed mountains and watched the sea. The city was still very lively. Most of the time they went to local restaurants for meals. Xuanyifu was dressed like an "outsider". He wanted to satisfy Wang Banban's incognito visit and shout "Your Highness is here" when he encountered injustice, but it was impossible for him to dare to act rashly.
There was no doubt in Duoduofu's mind that all the people in Zongshan Prefecture knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come to their place. The people on the street were all dressed very neatly. Not all of their clothes were new, but many were patched. There were also villagers from outside the city who came into the city carrying loads on their shoulders to sell vegetables, various kinds of seafood and river fish that had been dried in the sun. The villagers' clothes were a little gray, but they were in good spirits.
The magistrate of Zongshan Prefecture did not do anything special - such as prohibiting people outside the city from entering the city to buy and sell.
After shopping for a few days, Liu Qiang came back one day and said, "Whenever I go to a store, people look at me carefully and ask if I am a noble man. They say you are so lucky that they mistake me for you."
Xu Xuanfu then said in a noble and cold manner: "Then he really has no eyes. How could I admit my mistake to you? I am so wise and brave."
"Well, go on."
Liu Qiang retracted his threatening fist and continued, "I said I am not a noble man, but the other party obviously didn't believe me. He even started crying in front of me and wanted me to judge the case for him." He was overwhelmed.
Not to mention that Duo Fu was in high spirits, even Wang Yuanyuan and Xu Lingguan who were standing behind him thought that something "disregarding human life" was happening again when they heard it.
Wait for Liu Qiang to continue.
"Last year, the chickens he raised ran to the neighbor's fence and ate the insects in the neighbor's vegetable garden. The neighbor complained and started a quarrel. The man said his chickens were doing a good thing, removing insects from the neighbor's vegetable garden, but the neighbor didn't appreciate it and killed his chickens..." Liu Qiang found it incredible at first. A chicken started a fight. "Guess what they said in the end."
Xuan Fu still gave Liu Qiang some face, "The chickens have been killed, and the two families have torn their faces apart, what else can we do?"
"A neighbor was killing chickens, and he was pulling up vegetables from someone else's garden. The two got into a fight, and one had a broken head and the other sprained his foot. They insisted on seeing the official, saying that the official had beaten them with ten large boards. Now they want to appeal to the prince, and they both think that the official is biased towards the other party."
Wang Yuanyuan joined in the fun and said, "That's the chicken farmer's fault."
Xu Lingguan nodded in agreement.
"You heard what the chicken farmers said, that's just one side of the story. There must have been other conflicts before that," Yan Huaijin asked.
Liu Qiang slammed the table and said, "As expected of the top student in our Chongming Hall!"
"My little classmate is very smart. Do you think he is the same as you? Finish your words quickly." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blatantly put him down in front of me.
Liu Qiang didn't care about this and continued talking, "The vegetable garden of the family with the vegetable garden is ten inches beyond the yard of the chicken farm."
"That's the vegetable garden's fault." Wang Yuanyuan changed his words.
Liu Qiang added: "But Caiyuanzi also said that the youngest son of the chicken farmer had beaten his son before and did not apologize or treat the child's wound. The child had a scar on his forehead. He occupied the other person's yard on purpose to disgust others."
“It’s wrong for a son to raise chickens.” Wang Yuanyuan changed her words.
Liu Qiang: "But the son who raised chickens said that the son from the vegetable garden grabbed his snacks first."
"The son of the vegetable garden is wrong." Wang Yuanyuan changed her words again.
Many blessings: ...
I'm putting the dolls here.
"No wonder you came back at this time after being out on the street all day. I thought you went on a date with Wang Yuansun, but it turns out you just spent the whole day listening to some bullshit lawsuits." Manyu Fu should be thankful that he did not go out on the street. He just listened to the beginning with the mentality of a "honest judge". After wasting most of the day, he also wanted to give these two families ten strokes of the cane each.
When Liu Qiang heard this, he was suddenly stunned. "I forgot to buy dried squid. It's all this boss's fault. Why didn't you beat him to death?" He ran out cursing.
"…Is there really nothing wrong with his brain? It's dark now and all the stores are closed, why would he buy dried squid?" Xuanyu Fu complained.
Manager Wang was just wavering like a fence-sitter, but now he said with certainty, "He must be buying dried squid for General Wang."
"Banban is wise." Finally, I answered a question correctly without any controversy.
In the next few days, Yan Huaijin wanted to invite Xuanyu Fu to Cheng Mansion to watch the ceremony.
"My second sister came to me. Originally, Yushu was engaged on June 15th, but the prince came, and Yushu's fiancé's family is a little anxious. They wondered if it could be done earlier to share in the prince's blessing." Yan Huaijin said it tactfully. In fact, the second sister also wanted to do it earlier. Although she was a princess, a princess could not pass on her title to her children. She only had one daughter, and the marriage she found would be with a man from a slightly weaker family, hoping that her daughter would have a more comfortable life after marriage.
Now that His Highness is in Zongshan Mansion, her in-laws want to take advantage of His Highness, and she can't refuse.
When Xuanyu Fu heard this, he agreed immediately.
"This is a happy event. I'm leaving soon, so I'll go to a banquet before I leave."
Yan Huaijin smiled and thanked him, saying, "Why should we be so polite?"
The engagement day was held at the woman's home, and the man brought a matchmaker to propose marriage. Manyu Fu dressed up in new clothes and brought people to attend the wedding ceremony in a grand manner, while Yan Huaijin stayed at Cheng's house early to help out.
On that day, the gate of Cheng Mansion was crowded with guests. All the famous families in Zongshan Mansion came. The gate was opened, and the servants distributed some wedding cakes and other things to the people who passed by to join in the fun.
The man's team arrived early in the morning, and the servants carried the betrothal gifts like a long dragon.
Xuanyi Fu also happened to arrive at this time, with his personal soldiers leading the way. This time, Wang Banban put on the airs of a general steward and shouted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived—"
The people knelt down to welcome him.
Many people got off the sedan chair and shouted. They saw that at the front of the men's team was a young man in a red robe, about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was in high spirits because of the happy event. The other party was full of heroic spirit and saluted him.
"Congratulations." Xuan Fu acted like an adult and started to exchange pleasantries. He nodded and said, "Yes, you are a handsome young man."
Cheng Yushu's husband's surname is Guan, and they are similar to the Cheng family in the local area. Their ancestors were all great scholars who had served as officials. Later, they fell into decline, but they still had a good reputation and a good family tradition. In the early years, the two families were evenly matched, but Cheng Ming had a powerful wife.
His wife has a good family background and is now a princess. Her father is in the cabinet and her elder brother is in the Ministry of Works. Cheng Ming likes reading but has not taken the imperial examination. He is well-known for his free and easy life. Now he has got a job teaching at the official school in Fushan Prefecture. It is enough for him to teach the six arts to gentlemen.
There was suddenly some gap between the two families, but Cheng Yushu and Guan Dalang had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, and the Cheng family was not the kind of family that would flatter the powerful and look down on their old friends.
The marriage of the two children was settled naturally and naturally.
Manyu Fu and Guan Dalang entered the mansion and asked a few questions. When he heard that the two were childhood sweethearts, he was even happier and said, "I see that you have upright eyes and your character must be good. I was a classmate of Miss Cheng's uncle, and his niece is my niece."
Yan Jinjin, our two nieces just need to be happy!
Prince's support.jpg
Guan Dalang understood the meaning of the words and said sincerely, "Your Highness, Yushu and I grew up together. I love her. We both like reading and playing chess. Today, I have received your blessing. I would like to thank you and live a good life in the future."
Yes, he is a real man. The more he looked at him, the more satisfied he was. He thought the Cheng family had a good eye for choosing a son-in-law.
Then comes the process.
Xuanyuefu met Yan Jinjin. Today Yan Jinjin was wearing something a little more festive, which made people feel refreshed - Yan Jinjin wore more white before, which made her look weak and pitiful, but today she looked a little more gorgeous and handsome.
"When I first arrived, I ran into the Guan family's team and chatted with Guan Dalang for a while. This young man looks very upright." Xuan Fu praised, "Don't worry, I support our niece and will take care of the situation."
When Yan Huaijin heard the word 'we', his eyes were full of smiles. He bowed with his hands clasped, looking elegant and handsome. "Your Highness is really discerning. Your niece and I will definitely thank us."
Xuanyunfu didn't hear what Yan Jinjin said. He just kept blabbering and all he could see was how Yan Jinjin looked a little too good today!
The prince has arrived, and the magistrate of Zongshan Prefecture has also arrived. The magistrate had gotten up very early, and according to local customs, the men's team should set out at this time - he never expected that the prince would come early, and the Guan family would also come early, which made him seem too arrogant.
When the county magistrate arrived, he quickly paid his respects to His Highness and asked for His Highness's forgiveness.
Xuan Fu naturally said a lot of polite words, saying that there was nothing wrong, his niece was engaged, and it was not his fault that he, as her uncle, came early.
He really gave himself a higher status.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so easy-going and enthusiastic that later at the banquet, Xuan Duofu drank a few extra glasses of wine. This was because all the elders at the table were toasting him. Naturally, Xuan Duofu could have chosen not to drink, but since it was a happy day, he just drank and drank.
Then: "I am dizzy."
Cheng Ming quickly said, "Huaijin, help the prince to rest in the back, Mingzhu Courtyard, you know."
His Highness is coming to watch the ceremony, so the Cheng family has prepared a yard so that His Highness can take a nap without being disturbed today.
Xuanyu Fu also said, "You guys sit down and continue eating. I'll leave first." He felt dizzy and a little hot, so he turned to look for Yan Jinjin.
Yan Huaijin supported many people.
Zhuyue and others followed with their guards.
As soon as the Crown Prince left, some of the guests sitting in front looked at him with envy on their faces. They thought that the Guan family was so lucky to marry the daughter of the Cheng family.
There were still female guests in the Cheng family's backyard, including Cheng Yushu's close friends. Even women he didn't know well came today. The backyard was bustling with activity. The female guests all drank some sweet wine. One of the guests said, "I can't hold my liquor. I want to go take a rest."
Yan Huaiying naturally invited everyone to rest and also prepared a yard for them to rest.
"You can't go to Mingzhu Garden today." The maids guarding the gate stopped the guests who were walking back and asked them to move somewhere else.
Everyone knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was visiting today, and it was a godsend opportunity. If something could happen between them, they would be able to fly up to the top and become a phoenix. Even though she was a shy guest, she thought of her parents' earnest expectations and pretended not to understand. She blushed and held her head and said, "I feel dizzy. I'll go take a rest. It's open over there. I'll get some fresh air."
The old woman did not dare to really fight. She could not stop the distinguished guest from intruding, nor could she neglect the guest. She pleaded with him in a soft voice. The argument became louder. Manyu Fu, who came from the front yard not far away, shouted, "Is there a quarrel over there?"
Yan Huaijin took a look and said, "It's nothing serious."
"Oh." Xuanyufu nodded.
Someone shouted: "Your Highness, Your Highness——"
Xuanyu Fu turned his head and said, "She seemed to be calling me. What's the matter?"
The distinguished guest had already stepped forward to pay his respects. Xu Duofu started to ask what was going on. The distinguished guest spoke in a flowery manner. Xu Duofu was confused due to drinking too much and was slow to react. He listened to the guest's repetitions and extracted the key information: "You said you have heard of my great name for a long time. I--"
After repeating it halfway, a lot of rational thinking came online.
"Zhuyue, take this girl to rest. She is feeling unwell and has taken the wrong road. Go talk to the princess about it."
Zhuyue understood that this was to prevent the incident from getting out of hand and to save face for the girl. She stepped forward and coaxed the guest to move away. The maid next to her was quite considerate and strong enough to catch the girl.
Yan Huaijin supported Xuanyu Fu and continued walking. After a few steps, he said in a low voice, "Xu Xuanyu Fu, you seem to have seen this kind of thing many times." Lian Zhuyue was familiar with it.
"I am a little jealous, but I don't have the right to be jealous." Yan Huaijin looked at Xuan Duofu steadily, "During the days when I was not around--"
"I didn't do anything wrong. I'm very clean. Don't accuse me!" Xuanyunfu interrupted, sobering up from the alcohol.
Then I didn’t understand why I had to explain it this way to Yan Jinjin.
And Yan Jinjin, are you a white lotus or a green tea now?
The author has something to say:
Your Highness Duozi: Yan Jinjin is really relying on her good looks to sell tea art. Forget it, forget it. Who made my deskmate still young?
