The Ministry of War has reacted, and finally has some formal measures to deal with the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion and Xuan Ping Hou Mansion. Some people are sent to the border and some people are transferred back. This is the first step, and it is also a reaction to the previous accidents.
, this time the manpower changes have been huge, and many of the transfers that were previously postponed and prepared are being moved forward together.
As expected, Xu Cheng was among those transferred.
As soon as Yu Ruiwen got the news, he asked Mrs. Zhou to go to General Jingyuan's house to express that the marriage could be brought forward in advance. It was Xuanpinghou's intention. Xu Cheng suddenly left the capital without anyone around to take care of him, and he was not sure when he would come back.
The marriage between the two families has been arranged in advance, allowing Yu Zhuqing to take care of Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng himself reacted very quickly. He made it clear to General Jingyuan’s wife that he was going to the border and it was not certain when he would come back. It would depend on the outcome of the matter. Leaving Beijing this time was not as planned before, and there might be a lot of trouble.
If something unexpected happens, you may not be able to come back even within three or five years.
After such a long time, General Jingyuan's wife felt that she couldn't wait. She still wanted to hold her grandson, and she also wanted to go to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. After thinking about it, she decided that it would be better to move forward. Her niece had already gone back, and no one else around her was deliberately trying to provoke her.
General Jingyuan’s wife also agreed that the two families should move forward.
Just two days later.
Now that they have decided to speed up the marriage, the guests have renegotiated it. Some distant relatives cannot come. The nearby ones have been notified again. Those nearby know the transfer order of the Ministry of War and have to leave. In fact, Xu Cheng is not the only one to advance, there are two others.
A young man who went out at the same time also got married early.
Compared with other mansions, Xuanpinghou Mansion has more time. All the things that need to be prepared have been prepared. If there is no time, Xuanpinghou Mansion also agrees to make up for it afterwards. On this point, General Jingyuan’s wife is very satisfied.
.
Sure enough, Xuanpinghou really treated the adopted daughter of the Xuanpinghou Mansion as his own daughter, and the current wife of General Jingyuan was really looking forward to marrying Yu Zhuqing.
The other two daughters of Marquis Xuanping married well and will take care of their sons in the future. This is of course what General Jingyuan and his wife are happy to see.
The Xuanping Hou Mansion became lively for a while, and everyone was busy preparing for the wedding ceremony.
Almost all the people in each courtyard gathered around Madam Zhou, waiting for their orders. Madam Zhou made unified arrangements. There were only a few people left around the masters of each courtyard, and the rest went to help.
In Tingxiang Courtyard, Yu Yuxi also lent a lot of people, and now there were only a few servants left. The courtyard was quiet. She leaned on the couch and looked out the window with a cold expression.
Her grandmother had already told her father's decision to imprison her mother for the rest of her life until she was put to death. It could be said that she would not let her out until she died, even if she got married. Yu Xijiao was the one who caused all this.
How can I not hate it!
If it weren't for Yu Xijiao, she would still be the second daughter of the Xuanping Hou Mansion and the only legitimate daughter. Not to mention her noble status, even if her grandmother didn't take her seriously, she would still bear the title of her grandmother's only granddaughter. Who could
Dare to take a peek.
If it weren't for Yu Xijiao, she wouldn't have fallen into the water in the palace and lost her position as the concubine.
If it weren't for Yu Xijiao, her mother would still be Mrs. Xuanping Hou, and she wouldn't be the laughing stock of others now. So what if she never stops? Nowadays, no one is guessing whether something happened to her mother. As long as her mother doesn't appear in front of others, someone will definitely think
Something happened to my mother, and she had long since lost her dignity as a married woman.
"Girl, here are the pastries." Jin Yu came in with tea. Seeing Yu Yuxi looking out the window gloomily, her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly lowered her head, "The kitchen was very busy, so the servant brought a few things over. Maybe
It’s not to the girl’s taste. I’ve told the kitchen that it will be prepared tomorrow.”
There are a lot of pastries in the kitchen, all of which are prepared for the wedding. The pastries that Yu Yuxi likes have to be specially made. Now the people in the kitchen are so busy that they don't have time to prepare anything special for Yu Yuxi.
Yu Yuxi looked at the plate she had put down. The so-called pastries were actually just a few pieces. Although they were newly made and full of aroma, they were not what she used to like.
"Girl..." Jin Yu wanted to say something else.
Yu Yuxi picked up the plate and threw it on the ground. She moved so fast that Jin Yu was startled and quickly backed away.
"Yes, I definitely can." Jin Yu hurriedly lowered his head and responded respectfully.
"Isn't my grandma always very capable? She has been able to get her father to obey her for so many years, but now...it's so useless? Even my mother was imprisoned, saying that the original kindness was just a joke.
." Yu Yuxi said mockingly.
Jin Yu didn't dare to answer these words, but still lowered his head.
Yu Yuxi didn't intend to let her go, and looked at her with cold eyes: "You said, my mother can't appear in front of people, whether it's life or death, what's the use?"
She also couldn't answer this question. Jin Yu's head bowed deeper and deeper, and her heart was filled with fear and uneasiness.
Yu Yuxi's breathing quickened a little, and she looked up out of the window again: "Now even an adopted daughter is climbing on top of me. It's really a joke to say that I am a legitimate daughter. I have gone through a lot of trouble for the marriage of an adopted daughter.
He also summoned the people around me, which is so majestic."
"If the girl is not willing, I will go and find him now." Jin Yu's face turned pale.
"No need, since you can borrow it, let's borrow it!" Yu Yuxi sneered, "My people... are not easy to borrow. I arranged them before. How about it?"
"Don't worry, girl, I have made arrangements for you." Jin Yu said hurriedly.
Yu Yuxi sneered again and again. An adopted daughter, an adopted daughter who was worse than a maid, actually had such a day. A small part of what happened to her mother was because of Yu Zhuqing. How could she let Yu Zhuqing marry well? As for Zhou, she was just a concubine.
room, do you really want to take over your mother’s identity?
If she wanted to borrow someone, she would do so. Tingxiang Courtyard had the largest number of people, and her illness was not well controlled by the courtyard. If anything happened, they would not be able to find out about her. She cooperated with her grandmother...
Mrs. Zhou is indeed very busy, and there are suddenly a lot more manpower. Although there is still a layer of housekeepers below, but with so many manpower, Mrs. Zhou is also in a hurry. Tomorrow is the big day of the wedding, and this is Xuan Ping
It was the first time for the Hou family to hold a wedding ceremony, and Mrs. Zhou had no reference.
Although I had made some preparations in the past, it was only after thorough preparations. Now that it was suddenly brought forward, Mrs. Zhou was under great pressure.
Mrs. Zhou has been in charge of the Xuanping Hou Mansion for a while. Except at the beginning, there were always people jumping out to deliberately confront her. Now, basically no one dares to do it anymore. Anyone who jumps out has been dealt with. Qian looks like this
There is no chance of coming out again.
The servants in the mansion realized that the current wife of the Xuanping Hou Mansion was the Zhou family, and it was impossible for Mrs. Hou to come out again. After knowing this, no one dared to jump out and deliberately target Mrs. Zhou.
At present, the chaos caused by busyness has led to the appointment of a few more stewards. The new stewards have been selected from other hospitals. Coordination was not good for a while, and the kitchen was the most chaotic.
When it was such a mess, Yu Xijiao asked someone to keep an eye on the back door and the kitchen.
There is usually no one at the back door, but now there is only one woman in charge of the back door. It has been chaotic these days, and there are some maids. The mother-in-law goes out to do errands, and there are many people who come to the back door nearby. Mrs. Zhou has not been restrained all the time, just these two days
It's a matter of fact, and everyone who goes out has the right cards, so it's not considered chaos, it's just that there are more people going out.
There is a side door in the kitchen, facing the kitchen, which is dedicated to delivering food. There are a lot of vegetables bought from outside. If you enter from that way, you can check it directly in the kitchen. There are many people in the kitchen, and there are also many people delivering food. It is exactly
At its most chaotic, it is also a place where it is easy to make mistakes.
If someone sneaks in, it may be more convenient than the backyard door.
Although the eldest sister got married early, Yu Xijiao didn't want anything to happen to her. Yu Yuxi had been killed by Qian Lizhen before. Not only did Qian Lizhen not let Qian Lizhen ruin her eldest brother's reputation, she also let Qian Lizhen bite her back.
Qian's path to being released is now almost completely gone.
Under this situation, it seemed to outsiders that the Qian family had no hope, but Yu Xijiao did not believe that Mrs. Qian would really watch her daughter being imprisoned for the rest of her life.
That is impossible.
Mrs. Qian has the means and the manpower, and she doesn't lack anything, so how could she not take action.
Perhaps this time is also the best time, chaos, Xuanpinghou Mansion is now a chaos.
With such a big family, Mrs. Zhou was so busy that she had no time, and she had never presided over such a thing.
The sky has darkened a little, and in a little while, it will soon be sunset, and it will get dark very quickly. A maid came out in a hurry to help change some pots of flowers. A flower that was delivered to the house before
Among the flowers in the batch, some potted flowers don't look good, and they need to be replaced immediately.
The carriage had stopped at the back door, and the carriage driver also came over to help move the flowers, and moved the faded flowers to the carriage. After the move was completed, the sun had set. Fortunately, the place for changing flowers didn't have to go out of the city, it was right in the city.
There is a flower shop at the door. If the quantity is not large, you can exchange it directly there.
The maid gave a few words to the woman who was guarding the door, got on the carriage and hurried out. It looked like it was already dark when she came back.
The woman who was guarding the door just closed the door and went to have dinner. She calculated that she had enough time. By the time she came over after hastily having dinner, the sky had already darkened completely.
The mother-in-law lit the lantern, but the maid from the flower room who left last had not come back yet. She couldn't go to rest now, so she simply lit the candles in the lantern and waited...
There was a knock on the door. The old lady came over with a lantern and put it aside. Then she hurriedly walked to the door and opened it. Sure enough, the maid who had gone to change flowers had returned. The carriage stopped in front of the door, and the carriage driver helped carry it.
It was getting dark, so the maid asked her mother-in-law to help, and the two of them helped move the flowers. In the darkness, there was only a lantern lit by the mother-in-law and placed on the ground.
A figure entered the Xuanping Hou Mansion silently while several people were busy moving flower pots. There was also an unused yard at the back door...
