Chapter 241 Return to Xie Mansion
The eldest lady nodded in agreement: "Okay, then let's do as you say. By the way, you should take a good look around the capital. Let A Yu accompany you. He doesn't know much else, but he knows exactly where to eat and have fun in the capital."
"Mother..." Shen Yu interrupted unhappily, then said with a smile: "Uncle and aunt, rest assured, I will definitely take you to visit all the fun places in Beijing."
A group of people were chatting and laughing in the front hall.
After a short rest period of about an incense stick's time, dinner was ready.
After dinner, he didn't stay long and said goodbye and returned to the house arranged by Xie Yan.
The distribution of the capital is that the east is noble and the south is rich, and the purple air comes from the east, so the east is inhabited by powerful officials, the south is mostly inhabited by lower-ranking officials, the west is mostly inhabited by wealthy families, and the north is full of ordinary people.
The carriage stopped in front of a house in the south. The gate of the house was neither big nor small.
Qingfeng knocked on the door twice. The gatekeeper opened the door and immediately showed joy: "Qingfeng, the young master is here?"
"yes."
The servant immediately went to the carriage to greet it.
Xie Yan got out of the car first, and then helped Li Wanyue down.
The servant greeted respectfully: "My servant greets the young master and the young lady. Thank you for your hard work on the journey."
"Get up."
"Thank you, Master and Madam." The servant stood up and continued, "I have packed everything according to your instructions. All the things are ready."
“Well done.”
The servant in front raised his hand to signal "please", and the others followed him into the house.
This is a spacious two-courtyard house. The courtyard is very large, with three main rooms, two side rooms on the left and right, and a few rooms in the front, which is enough for one person to live in.
There were several maids inside. When they saw them, they bowed and greeted them.
Then Qingfeng took people to the carriage to move the luggage.
Zhao Suying smiled and said, "Ayan is really considerate. This place is nice and comfortable to live in."
"Yes." Li Youshan echoed.
Xie Yan smiled and said, "Dad and Mom, you can go shopping tomorrow. With A Yu accompanying you, you can go shopping without any worries."
"good."
Li Wanyue pointed to the room and said, "Dad, Mom, brother and sister-in-law, please take a look at which room you want to stay in. Take a rest and come out to eat later."
"good."
Xiaolan and her three sisters live in one room, and Xiaokang and his two brothers live in another.
Xie Yan asked Qingfeng to go to Xie's house to deliver a message, saying that they would be returning home the next morning.
After a tiring day, everyone washed up and went to bed.
Li Wanyue sat on the table, propped up her chin with her hand and asked, "Are we going to Xie's house tomorrow? What gifts should we prepare?"
"I'll make the arrangements. When we got married, grandma couldn't stand the long journey and didn't go. My eldest brother didn't go because his eldest sister-in-law was pregnant and couldn't leave her alone. The rest of my uncles and cousins went, but a few of my cousins didn't. Just prepare the gifts for grandma and don't worry too much about the rest."
"I have prepared the gift for your grandmother, but as for the others, including my eldest brother and his wife, do you think I should give them some?"
"They are the elders, so they should prepare gifts for you."
Li Wanyue sighed. Giving gifts was easy in a small county, but it was difficult to give gifts to those wealthy families. If the gifts were too light or too heavy, it would not be good.
Seeing Li Wanyue sighing, Xie Yan shook his head with amusement.
He picked her up and walked towards the bed: "You still have the mind to think about other things. It seems that you are not tired. Then let's play a game."
The lights go out, the gauze curtains fall, and we go to Wushan to make love.
The next day, Shen Yu took the Li family out for a walk, and Xie Yan and Li Wanyue went to the Xie family.
At the Xie Mansion, Shen Jinyu was leading the maids to the door, preparing to greet the two people, when a maid hurried over to report: "Madam, the eldest young master's wife suddenly had a stomachache, and the eldest young master didn't know what to do, so he asked this servant to come and invite you."
Shen Jinyu hesitated. Yan'er and his wife were about to arrive, and if he didn't go to greet them, it would seem that he didn't value them.
But the eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant, which concerns the Xie family's heirs. If something bad happens, she will feel guilty towards the Xie family.
After thinking for a while, she looked at the maid beside her and said, "Go tell Shuyan to take people to the gate to welcome the second young master, and also quickly ask the servant to call the doctor."
"yes."
After Shen Jinyu finished speaking, he hurried to Du Hui's yard.
The maid arrived at Xie Shuyan's courtyard and reported, "Miss, Madam asked me to tell you that the eldest young lady's wife has a stomachache and she went to the eldest young lady's courtyard."
"What? Why do you suddenly have abdominal pain?"
"I don't know either."
Xie Shuyan immediately stood up and walked towards Du Hui's yard.
At this time, Xie Yan and Li Wanyue had already arrived at Xie's house.
Through the car curtain, the mansion in front of him was also magnificent, but it was a little inferior to the Shen Mansion.
Seeing this, the gatekeeper and a maid immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings, Second Young Master, Second Young Master's Madam."
The old woman said expressionlessly, "Second Young Master, Madam asked me to welcome you and the Second Young Master's wife here. Madam is waiting in the mansion."
Xie Yan listened expressionlessly. He had asked Qingfeng to deliver a message in advance last night, but his mother actually sent a servant to pick them up.
Sure enough, I shouldn't have come here.
In the past, he would not care, but today is Yueyue's first day as the daughter-in-law of the Xie family coming to the Xie Mansion. If she walks in like this, where will she put her face?
Xie Yan said, "Is mother busy? If not, let's go around the capital first. When mother is free, we will come to see her. Qingfeng, let's go."
The mother-in-law's face was not good. How come the second young master has been out for a few years and his temper is worse than before? But after all, he is the lady's son, so she still has to persuade him to go in, otherwise she will suffer.
She immediately persuaded him in a soft tone, "Second Young Master, the eldest young mistress just had a stomachache, and Madam was anxious to see her, so she couldn't come out to greet you. Madam is still waiting to see you and the young mistress. If I don't invite you into the house, Madam will blame me."
"What a coincidence! My wife and I are returning home today, and my sister-in-law has a stomachache right now. Since my mother doesn't have time to see her, I'll come another day. Qingfeng, let's go."
"Second Young Master..."
Li Wanyue held his hand and advised: "Ayan, there is no reason for elders to welcome the younger generation. It is a kindness for the elders to welcome us. It is okay if they don't welcome us. But if we leave like this, we will be wrong."
Xie Yan pursed his lips and remained silent.
At this time, Xie Zhenghuai just came back from court. Seeing Qingfeng on the carriage, he knew that it was Xie Yan who came back.
He lifted the curtain and asked, "Why are you here instead of going into the house?"
Xie Yan did not get out of the car, but only clasped his fists and bowed through the curtain: "Hello, father. I asked Qingfeng to tell you last night that I would bring Yueyue to the Xie Mansion today. This is her first time to visit, but the mansion only sent a maid to pick her up. I wonder what this means?"
Xie Zhenghuai didn't expect him to be so fussy. He refused to enter the house just because no one came to pick him up.
But when he thought about what he had just found out, he controlled his temper.
He got off the carriage and said, "Your mother may be in trouble. Can I take you into the mansion?"
Li Wanyue reminded quietly: "Get out of the car. As a father, he has already given you a way out. If you care about it, it will be disobedience and will not be good for you."
Only then did Xie Yan get out of the car and turned around to help Li Wanyue down.
