Chapter 799 Returning
On the day he returned home, Xiao Yeyang's face was full of spring breeze and he was refreshed, while Daohua was a little haggard. He applied a layer of powder to barely cover the cyan color under his eyes.
After the two went to see Prince Ping, they got on the carriage and drove towards Yan Mansion.
In the carriage, Xiao Yeyang felt a rare guilty conscience when looking at Daohua, who was a little dazed and sleepy.
Outside the gate of Yan Mansion, Yan Wenxiu and his wife, together with several younger brothers and sisters, were waiting early. As soon as Daohua and Xiao Yeyang's carriage arrived, everyone immediately showed smiles.
"Early in the morning, my grandmother was talking about how my eldest sister and brother-in-law are back."
After Daohua was helped out of the carriage by Xiao Yeyang, she was surrounded by her sisters-in-law Han Xinran, Zhu Qiyun, Zhou Jingwan, and Su Shiyu.
Xiao Yeyang was pulled over by Yan Wenxiu and his brothers.
Looking at the generous homecoming gifts that were carried out of the carriage, Yan Wenxiu and others showed a look of satisfaction on their faces.
It's not that they are greedy for this thing, but the homecoming ceremony represents to a large extent the importance the husband's family attaches to the bride.
After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, they gathered around Daohua and Xiao Yeyang and entered the Yan Mansion.
Songheyuan.
Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been waiting with their necks craned for a long time. As soon as they heard the news that the eldest daughter and uncle had arrived, they immediately got up and left the room.
Some of the other relatives and friends in the room who came to attend the homecoming banquet followed them out, while others sat still but looked outside.
As soon as Daohua entered the yard, she saw her grandmother and mother standing under the eaves looking forward to it. She quickly ran over: "It's so cold outside, why did you come out? Don't get cold."
As soon as Daohua arrived, Mrs. Yan stretched out her hand to pull her over, looked back and forth several times, and saw that Daohua's eyebrows were stretched, her face was rosy, and her eyebrows were filled with the happiness and sweetness of a newlywed bride. Then she felt relieved and waited until
Yan Wenxiu and others walked in with Xiao Yeyang, and then pulled Daohua into the house.
Mrs. Li stood beside her, smiling at her daughter who was now a married woman. Her eyes were a little red. She noticed the worried look Daohua turned back and immediately smiled and followed her quickly.
There were many people sitting in the room, including the Yang family, the Han family, the Zhou family, the Su family, those who were related to the Yan family, and their cousin Li Zixuan also came over, as well as some people who were good friends with the Yan family.
As soon as Daohua and Xiao Yeyang entered the room, everyone's eyes fell on them.
"Old lady, you are so lucky. This granddaughter and grandson-in-law are really a divine couple!"
Immediately, someone smiled and congratulated Mrs. Yan.
Mrs. Yan responded with a smile on her face, and she became more and more satisfied as she looked at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang who were kneeling in front of them.
Below, Yan Yile looked at Daohua, who was dressed up in colorful embroidery, looking like a fairy concubine, and then looked at Xiao Yeyang, whose face was full of tenderness and affection, and silently lowered her eyelids.
After paying homage to Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li, Xiao Yeyang was taken to the front yard by Yan Wenxiu and others, while Daohua stayed with the female relatives.
"Being the daughter-in-law of the royal family is really different. Look at Sister Yan's elegant demeanor. She is so noble." Miss Han San said sourly.
Yan Yile immediately answered: "Can it be expensive? Even the embroidered shoes are made of Yun brocade, with rare golden pearls inlaid on them..."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Yihuan and Yan Yishuang both glared over at the same time.
Yan Yile moved her lips but did not continue.
After the Han sisters went to talk to others, Yan Yishuang looked at Yan Yile coldly: "Fourth sister, no matter what we are like inside, in front of outsiders, even if you can't protect your family, you shouldn't agree with outsiders."
Yan Yile opened her mouth to refute, but Yan Yihuan held her firmly down.
Yan Yihuan smiled stiffly and said: "What the third sister said is that we are all daughters of the Yan family. We should be united in dealing with the outside world. There is no reason to slander each other." After saying that, he glared at Yan Yile extremely sternly, with a heavy look in his eyes.
Strong warning.
With outsiders present, Yan Yishuang didn't want to make any noise, so she stood up and walked towards Yang Xiujun and the Su girl without saying anything.
Yan Yile is stupid and quarrelsome, so she needs to stay away to avoid being infected.
Seeing her like this, Yan Yile suddenly said angrily: "Isn't she just trying to curry favor with her when she saw her eldest sister marrying into the prince's palace? She was the most jealous of her eldest sister when she was a child. Who among us doesn't know who she is? She wants her here.
Be a good person."
Yan Yihuan scolded in a low voice: "Please calm down, there are many female relatives here today, and you don't want your sister-in-law to drive you back to the house."
Yan Yile glanced at Mrs. Fang, who was sitting next to Mrs. Yan, pursed her lips and said nothing more.
Mrs. Yan knew that Mrs. Li had something private to say to her granddaughter, so she let Daohua apologize to the guests for a while, then signaled Mrs. Li to take Daohua and leave.
......
Mrs. Li took Daohua back to the main courtyard and went straight into the inner room. After waving back, she looked at Daohua carefully for a while.
Daohua felt uncomfortable being looked at by Mrs. Li, so she took her arm and leaned on her shoulder.
Seeing her daughter's rosy face and charming look on her eyes and brows, Mrs. Li smiled: "Tell me, mother, is Yeyang good to you?"
Daohua lowered her head and nodded: "Yeah."
Mrs. Li asked again: "Are the people in the palace easy to get along with? When you went to the palace to recognize your relatives, did the Queen Mother make things difficult for you?"
Daohua looked up at Mrs. Li: "Mom, don't worry, your daughter is not a soft persimmon and will not be bullied. Besides, isn't there Xiao Yeyang?"
How can Mrs. Li rest assured? The Yan family's backyard is simple. She is really afraid that her daughter will not be able to cope with the palace and the group of people in the palace: "If anything happens in the future, don't bear it by yourself. Although our family's foundation is a bit poor,
, but at least your brothers still have some abilities. Remember, your family will always have your backing."
Daohua smiled and rubbed Mrs. Li's shoulder: "Mom, my daughter knows."
The guests included her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and her niece-in-law entertained them. Mrs. Li took Daohua with her and talked privately in the room with ease. It was almost noon before the mother and daughter came out of the house.
The homecoming banquet was placed at the old lady's side. The mother and daughter slowly walked towards Songhe Courtyard. When they were approaching the entrance of the courtyard, they met Yan Siyu, Zhu Qiyun, Yan Yile and others coming from the flower room.
Yan Siyu smiled and greeted Mrs. Li: "The flower house at my sister-in-law's house is very beautiful. Mrs. Fang and I couldn't help but go over and take a look."
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "If you like it, come back more often in the future. Mom will be happy." After saying that, she looked at Daohua and said, "This is Fang Jijiu's wife, you haven't seen her yet."<
/p>
Hearing this, Daohua smiled and stepped forward to salute: "Mrs. Fang, you are polite."
Mrs. Fang quickly turned sideways to avoid Daohua's gift: "Girl, you can't do this."
She couldn't bear this gift. The eldest daughter of the Yan family was not only the daughter-in-law of Prince Ping, but also the county head personally appointed by the emperor. Her husband was also a commander of the Jinling Guards of the third rank. She was the wife of a fourth-rank official.
I don’t have the confidence to accept this gift.
Mrs. Li was about to stop this paragraph with a smile, but unexpectedly, Yan Yile spoke.
"Aunt Fang, you are too polite. You are an elder. My eldest sister salutes you. This is what you should do. What is wrong with you?"
When I heard this suddenly, there was nothing wrong with it, but it should not have come from Yan Yile's mouth. Not to mention that Daohua was my sister, and Mrs. Li was still here, so it was not her turn as a junior to interrupt.
Sure enough, Zhu Qiyun's expression changed immediately.
The smile on Mrs. Li's face also faded, and she led Mrs. Fang, who was flattered by the compliments but looked uncomfortable, into the courtyard.
Daohua glanced at Yan Yile and followed quickly.
Zhu Qiyun waited until she and Yan Yile were the only two people around, then she completely darkened her face and looked at Yan Yile angrily: "Fourth sister, if you can't speak, don't speak, so as not to embarrass yourself and provoke others."
It’s a joke.”
Yan Yile was angry and aggrieved. During this period, she also had a strong opinion of Zhu Qiyun. Ever since her second brother and second sister-in-law came to Beijing, she had been blaming and scolding her. She was not allowed to do this, and she was not allowed to say anything.
, which made her extremely frustrated.
Now he blamed himself on this occasion again, and said with a cold face: "Second sister-in-law, I just said something casually, do you need to put on such an ugly face? Why, in your eyes
, I can’t even speak?”
Seeing that Yan Yile still looked confident, Zhu Qiyun became even more angry: "No one will stop you from speaking, but you have to speak according to the occasion, so you should divide it among people. Is that what you just said?"
Yan Yile frowned: "Why can't I say it?"
Zhu Qiyun sneered: "You are just a junior, even if you want to say a few polite words to Mrs. Fang, it should be for the eldest aunt. What position and qualifications do you have to say that?"
"Fourth sister, you have made your eldest aunt very dissatisfied with your repeated wrong words before. Without your love and care, what are we in this huge capital?"
Yan Yile sneered and said: "Second sister-in-law, you have no backbone. If you want to lick your face and flatter others, please don't involve me."
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyun laughed angrily, not bothering to care about her face anymore, and said indifferently: "Fourth sister, people must be self-aware and learn to accept their fate."
"Now our second wife is just living in my uncle's house. Since we are living under someone else's roof, we have to live by ourselves. No matter how unwilling you are, this is an unchangeable fact."
Just when Yan Yile was about to refute, Yan Yihuan hurried over after receiving the news.
Seeing her, Zhu Qiyun was too lazy to talk nonsense and said directly: "Second sister, fourth sister is not feeling well. Please take her back to the house to rest."
"Why?"
Yan Yile looked unconvinced.
Zhu Qiyun sneered: "Fourth sister, today is my eldest sister's homecoming banquet. Tell me, if you ruin this homecoming banquet, will your uncle and aunty send you back to your hometown?"
Yan Yile couldn't help but feel tense, she pursed her lips and frowned and stopped talking.
When Yan Yihuan saw him, he didn't ask what happened to Zhu Qiyun, but picked up Yan Yile and left.
After the two of them left, Zhu Qiyun took a deep breath, then raised her smile again and entered the courtyard.
On the other side, Daohua pulled Mrs. Li and asked, "Mom, what's going on with Yile?"
Mrs. Li smiled sarcastically: "That girl is very ambitious. She has set her sights on the Fang family."
Daohua's eyes suddenly widened.
Although Fang Jijiu is only a fourth-rank official, he is in charge of the Imperial Academy, and his prestige and reputation are unmatched by ordinary fourth-rank officials. What's more, he is also the head of the Jiguan Fang clan.
The Fang family is a large family, and it is also a prominent family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
The conditions for marrying a wife in such a family are not low.
Mrs. Li said carefully: "Mrs. Fang gave birth to three legitimate sons. The eldest son has been married, and the second son is currently discussing marriage. Some time ago, weren't your father and your eldest brother relatively close to the Fang family? The second Fang
The young master has been to our house several times, and it may be during this time that Yile started to think about it."
She got angry when she talked about this. She didn't know that Yile, her niece, had such high standards.
The Fang family's family background is more distinguished and noble than that of Wenkai's and Yue's families. When she first went to the Su family to propose marriage to her youngest son, she felt that she was too high up to open her mouth.
This Yile really dares to think, I really don’t know where she gets the confidence?
Daohua was silent for a moment: "Mom, since Yile has this idea, in order to prevent her from getting deeper into trouble, it is better not to let the Fang family come to the house in the future."
