Chapter 34: Meeting
"Second Miss, let me cook a few dishes for you!" After returning to Wuyou Pavilion, Qingying said to Yuan Ziyu.
"Okay!" Yuan Ziyu nodded and said, "Cook a few more dishes, and you and Qingzhi will accompany me."
"Yes!" Qingying responded and turned to go to the small kitchen.
Qingying prepared six dishes and a soup, and Liu sent Bishuang to deliver two bowls of dishes. The three masters and servants ate happily. Yuan Ziyu also distributed copper coins to the maids and old women in the yard. Qingying and Qingzhi then helped Yuan Ziyu to sleep!
Because it was New Year's Eve, although the Yuan Mansion was less festive this year because of this turmoil, as soon as midnight arrived, the sounds of firecrackers and fireworks from other places still came in!
Yuan Ziyu was not asleep. She was thinking about Chen Yan's entry into the mansion!
If she remembered correctly, in her previous life, Chen Yan should have entered the mansion half a year later, but in this life, it happened so long ago. What was the reason? Was it because of her return?
If the incident with Chen Yan happened earlier, would the incident of Yuan Mansion being framed also happen earlier?
Yuan Ziyu looked at the crescent moon outside the window and squinted her eyes. It seemed that she could not completely rely on her knowledge from her previous life. She had to be alert and help the Yuan family avoid this catastrophe.
In the middle of the night, it started snowing again. When Yuan Ziyou woke up early in the morning on the first day of the new year, a thick layer of snow had already fallen in the yard. The maids and old women were sweeping the snow in the yard, and it was quite lively!
Because he had to pay his respects to Madam Yuan, Yuan Ziyu hurriedly ate breakfast and took Qingying to Shousong Hall. Today, she was still wearing the set of kingfisher and pearl headdress given by Old Madam Huo.
Liu and Yuan Ziyu stayed in Shousong Hall for quite a while before Yuan Zitong finally arrived!
"Grandma, Tong'er is late!" Yuan Zitong seemed to have not had a good rest. There was a dark color under her eyes, which could not be concealed even with makeup.
"Good boy, come here!" Madam Yuan loved Yuan Zitong very much. Seeing Yuan Zitong so haggard, she felt distressed. She took Yuan Zitong's hand and asked, "But you didn't sleep well last night?"
"Last night, my granddaughter was at Zihua Courtyard taking care of my mother!" Yuan Zitong snuggled up to Madam Yuan and whispered, "My mother was injured and couldn't sleep well. I didn't dare sleep too deeply, fearing that she wouldn't be able to find anyone to drink water in the middle of the night."
Upon hearing this, the elder lady became angry and said, "Of course you should be filial to your mother, but are all those servants dead?"
As he said this, he ordered Shaoyao, "Go to Zihua Courtyard and arrest those servants. I want to ask them, are they all ladies now?"
He glared at Lian Qiao and said, "This idiot is not a good person either. He doesn't even try to persuade you!"
"Grandma!" Yuan Zitong hurriedly intervened, "They were all there to serve Mother. I was worried about her injuries, so I couldn't sleep well. If you punish them for this, I'd feel uneasy."
"Alas, you are too kind, child!" The elder lady sighed. "Well, since you've pleaded for those slaves, I'll let it go. But don't torture yourself like this in the future. You're still young, how can you endure the pain of staying up late?"
"Yes, Grandma!" Yuan Zitong smiled sweetly at Madam Yuan: "Tong'er understands!"
The elder lady smiled at Liu and said, "Tong'er has been so gentle and polite since she was a child. She is really lovable!"
"Mother is right!" Liu really didn't have a good impression of Yuan Zitong, but since Elder Madam Yuan said so, she naturally couldn't refuse her opinion!
Yuan Ziyu sat next to Liu and watched Yuan Zitong's performance coldly. She was well versed in medical knowledge and had the blessing of the spring water from the Qiongjiang Pavilion, so she could naturally see that Yuan Zitong did not really not get enough rest.
The elder lady continued to laugh and said, "Old Master's wife, you are now in charge of the household affairs of the mansion, so naturally you have contacts with the ladies of various families. If there is a suitable boy, don't forget to help Tong girl to find him!"
After this year, Tong girl was fifteen years old, but she still hadn't been engaged, which really made the old lady worried. But Ning always said that she had her own plans, and Tong girl herself didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Madam Yuan is old and seldom leaves the house often. Now that Liu has returned to the capital, Madam Yuan wants to ask Liu to help with some advice.
"Yes, mother!" Liu replied!
Yuan Zitong was anxious. She wanted to marry no one but Huo Xifei. If Liu Shi got involved, wouldn't that disrupt her plans? If her grandmother bypassed her mother and arranged a marriage for her without her permission, she would have no place to cry.
The Xuanping Marquis' Mansion would definitely not want a woman who had broken off an engagement.
"Grandma!" Yuan Zitong said hurriedly, "I'm not in a hurry. Besides, I'm still young and want to stay with you for a few more years!"
Yuan Zitong's words made Madam Yuan laugh so hard she couldn't stop. "How can I not be anxious? We still have to decide on a marriage first. I'm not asking you to marry right away. Let's decide on one first, otherwise the good ones will be picked up by others. Even if Grandma is reluctant to let you go, there's no reason for her to keep you by her side."
"Grandma!" Seeing that Madam Yuan was adamant about her opinion, Yuan Zitong could only blush and change the subject: "My second sister is engaged now. I wonder when the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion will come to deliver the four gifts. Logically, they should have come yesterday!"
Hearing Yuan Zitong say this, Madam Yuan was also surprised and said, "Yeah, I actually forgot about this matter. It was all caused by Lei'er!"
Liu smiled and said, "Mother, Fei'er went out of the capital with the Marquis on business, so he shouldn't have returned yet."
"That's right!" The elder lady laughed and said, "I said that you always came before the New Year in previous years. How come there's been no movement since you came back this year?"
"I guess Fei'er will come to the house when he comes back!" Liu said with a smile!
Madam Yuan nodded, looked at Yuan Ziyou and smiled, "Second girl is a lucky one. I have seen Fei'er, and she is a very good child."
Hearing the elder lady praising Huo Xifei, Yuan Zitong was secretly delighted, but at the same time she was deeply jealous of Yuan Ziyu. She secretly made up her mind to snatch Huo Xifei away from her.
At this time, a little girl came in: "Old Madam, this is a visiting card from the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion!"
The elder lady took it and looked at it, then smiled at Liu and said, "Look, if you mention Cao Cao, he will appear!"
Then he ordered the little girl: "Please come in quickly!"
Yuan Ziyu knew that Huo Xifei had come, and she immediately became excited. After being reborn, she was finally going to see Huo Xifei!
Not long after, a young man wearing a light green brocade robe embroidered with dark bamboo patterns and a green jade hair crown walked in!
This young man was Huo Xifei.
"Xi Fei greets the old lady!" Huo Xi Fei bowed respectfully to the elder lady.
