After receiving the decree from the palace, Yu Xianyi was first granted the title of Fourth Rank Military General, in recognition of Yu Xianyi's persistence in guarding the border for so many years, in which he also made a lot of contributions. However, considering the wishes of Marquis Xuanping, he was never commended for his meritorious service.
Now he is given the rank of general and married to the daughter of Ming Xiang...
Of course this is also a sinecure.
After the chamberlain gave the order, he left with a smile.
This reward can be regarded as an explanation for Yu Xianyi. He has worked hard at the border for so many years without any merit. As the dignified prince of Xuanping, he was just an ordinary soldier at the border. Now he is still being hunted. What happened to the royal family?
I need to give him a good explanation.
What's more, he was injured so seriously that he will no longer be able to practice martial arts. The royal family will reward him no matter what, and granting him a marriage is the icing on the cake.
Yu Ruiwen already knew something about matters that were not a marriage to the princess. After hearing the formal decree, he felt relieved and called to the servant: "Come here, help the prince to rest."
Yu Xianyi's face looked very bad, and he looked like he was holding on. When he came here, he was supported by two or three boys. Now he said goodbye to Yu Ruiwen, and helped the boys to leave.
It’s so great that I didn’t marry a princess! Ming Xiang is a pretty good person. Although I heard that he will become an official soon, it has nothing to do with his family. Yu Ruiwen is very satisfied.
Yu Yuxi had just come out to receive the order, and now he was standing next to Yu Ruiwen, not in a hurry to leave.
"Xi'er, your eldest brother's marriage has been settled. From now on, even if I'm under Jiuquan, I'll be able to see your mother."
Looking at his little daughter, Yu Ruiwen had mixed feelings. His son's matter was a nail in his heart. He couldn't pull it out and couldn't suppress it. But his son was disobedient, what could he do?
He had been beaten and scolded, but this boy was particularly disobedient at that time and actually ran directly to the border. If An and the eldest princess hadn't stopped him, Yu Ruiwen would have taken leave and gone to the border to chase his son.
Regardless of whether his son has any future, he just wants his son to be safe.
"Father, please don't say such things. It makes people feel sad to hear them." Yu Xi said softly, "Now that the eldest sister is getting married and the eldest brother's marriage has been settled, father should be even more happy."
"Yes, be happy, be happy." Yu Ruiwen said repeatedly, but his voice was a little louder unconsciously.
"Father, I'm leaving first." Yu Xijiao said. She was about to go out, but was stopped by the palace's decree.
"Go ahead. My father won't go. He told Zhuqing to be well. If he needs anything, he will write to her later and his father will prepare it for her." Thinking that his eldest daughter was about to leave Beijing, the interest he had just mentioned disappeared again, and Yu Ruiwen sighed.
Sheng said that his son returned to Beijing after a narrow escape, but his daughter had to leave again. If he could, he really didn't want to see them go to the border.
"Father, I know." Yu Xi said softly, and then said something to Mrs. Zhou before leaving with Mingyue.
Today is the day when Yu Zhuqing leaves Beijing, she has to go there quickly.
"Xier, how is your health?" After seeing his youngest daughter leave, Yu Ruiwen turned his head and suddenly saw Yu Yuxi standing next to him. After a slight pause, he said awkwardly.
He was so focused on talking to his youngest daughter that he didn't notice that his second daughter was standing next to him.
"Father, I'm fine." Yu Yuxi's eyes turned slightly red when she heard that Yu Ruiwen was so concerned about her body.
"Why is it okay? If you are not feeling well, please stay away and have a good rest." Yu Ruiwen said gently. He was about to ask the maid to help her down to rest when she heard Yu Yuxi say: "Father, can I say a few words to you?
?”
Yu Ruiwen was silent for a moment, nodded and sat down on the chair in the middle.
Mrs. Zhou took several maids with her, and the mother-in-law said goodbye and left.
The hall fell silent.
Yu Yuxi plopped down and knelt down in front of Yu Ruiwen, and asked in a trembling voice: "Father, what on earth... happened that day? Why... why are you saying that mother... is crazy? Grandma, what happened to her legs?
No matter how much I asked her, she wouldn't tell her. I begged her father to tell her daughter."
As he spoke, he began to sob and cry, feeling weak and timid, and feeling very aggrieved.
"Xier... these things have nothing to do with you." Yu Ruiwen comforted her.
"Father, how come it has nothing to do with my daughter? My mother is my daughter's biological mother, and my grandmother is my mother's biological mother. If something really happens, please let my father make it clear that although my daughter is not in good health, she is still alive. No matter where these things come from,
On the one hand, it all has something to do with the daughter, so please let the father speak clearly."
Yu Yuxi cried more and more sadly, looking miserable and blaming herself.
On the day Yu Zhuqing got married, she did lie in bed all day. Even if Mrs. Qian fell down later, she could only ask Feng Lanxiu to help send her to Qian's house.
"Xier, I'm afraid your mother is really not well." Yu Ruiwen calmed down and said bluntly.
Qian's condition was really not good. Afterwards, Yu Ruiwen also sent a doctor to see her. They all said that Qian's mind was not normal and she seemed to be really crazy.
"Mother...she...is she crazy?" Yu Yuxi's whole body was trembling.
"She...may be crazy." Even if he decided to tell the truth to his second daughter, Yu Ruiwen found it difficult to speak and could only follow the words.
"Mother." Yu Yuxi whined and fell down.
Jin Yu screamed and supported her.
Yu Ruiwen couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly asked someone to call the doctor. At the same time, he was looking for someone to carry Yu Yuxi back to the courtyard. The Xuanping Marquis Mansion was in a panic...
At the gate of General Jingyuan's mansion, the carriage has been prepared. Xu Cheng is still talking to General Jingyuan's wife, Mrs. Qin. The mansion has been checked again. Either they were betrayed or captured. Xu Cheng checked the mansion before leaving.
Everything was settled and cleaned, leaving only a few loyal ones.
Yu Zhuqing was also standing in front of the door, looking at the opposite intersection from time to time, with hope in his eyes.
It was about to leave the capital. Even though I had already planned it, I was still a little anxious at this time. The third sister said that she would come to see her off, but why hasn't she come yet? If she doesn't come, she will leave.
According to the temperament of Third Sister, she will only arrive early and will not come so late. Could something have happened?
Just before I was thinking wildly, I suddenly saw a carriage coming from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. A smile appeared on my face immediately. The third sister was here.
Sure enough, the carriage stopped, and the person who got off the carriage was Yu Xijiao. Yu Zhuqing went back up the steps and met Yu Xijiao.
"Sister."
"Third sister."
The two of them hugged each other, and then slowly let go after calming down.
"Sister, I have prepared some small things for you, maybe you will use them." Yu Xijiao waved to Mingyue, and Mingyue offered the package in her hand.
"Third sister, I have prepared enough." Yu Zhuqing said softly.
"Sister, this is a piece of my heart. It's actually not much. Just take it first." Yu Xijiao said. The eldest sister is going to the border. I don't know when she will come back, or if the two of them will never have the chance to meet again.
Sensing the persistence in Yu Xi's coquettish words, Yu Zhuqing did not refuse anymore and was accepted.
"Sister, please pay attention to safety when going to the border. Your own safety is your top priority at all times." Yu Xijiao said with a serious face.
"Don't worry, Third Sister, I will do it." Yu Zhuqing nodded.
"Eldest sister has a gentle temper, but fortunately my eldest brother-in-law can make decisive decisions. Brother-in-law, I will leave it to you." Yu Xijiao bowed deeply to Xu Cheng who came over.
"Third sister, you're welcome. Zhu Qing's matter is my business." Xu Cheng also had a good feeling for Yu Xijiao, his aunt, and said with a smile.
It was getting late and it was time to hit the road. Yu Xijiao took a step back and made way for her.
Yu Zhuqing walked to the carriage and was about to get on it. Suddenly she turned back to look at Yu Xijiao, then hurried over and hugged Yu Xijiao's slender body. Her voice became even louder: "Third sister, you want it yourself."
Take care of yourself."
"Sister, don't worry." Yu Xijiao smiled and patted Yu Zhuqing's back gently, "Sister, be careful all the way."
Xu Cheng came over again, helped Yu Zhuqing, and said to Yu Xijiao: "This trip is too hasty. When Zhuqing and I return to Beijing, we will go to Xuanpinghou Mansion to plead guilty to my father-in-law."
Because she was busy, Yu Zhuqing didn't even come back.
This was also discussed long ago.
Yu Xijiao saluted again, and then watched Xu Cheng help Yu Zhuqing onto the carriage, and the carriage turned around and headed out.
Mrs. Qin couldn't help but chase after her for a few steps. She held her mother-in-law's shoulders and started crying. Yu Xijiao's eyes were slightly red. She looked up at the sky. The weather was good today and it was a good day for a long trip.
The carriage goes away, the eldest sister goes away...
At least everything is different from the dream, and the eldest sister has found a good home, that's enough.
We may not miss each other even if we travel far away. I hope we can meet again in the future...
"Mrs. Qin, please go back first. My eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law will definitely feel sad and worried if they know that you are so sad." Yu Xijiao calmed down all the emotions in her heart and first advised General Jingyuan's wife.
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Qin also wiped away her tears, reached out and patted Yu Xijiao's hand gently: "Cheng'er's father has never been around, and now even Cheng'er... I feel really sad.
I am the only one left in the house now, I...I..."
Mrs. Qin was speechless again when she said this.
The wife of General Jingyuan in front of her looked much kinder. She no longer picked on the eldest sister and no longer disliked her. Yu Xijiao felt quite satisfied.
It seems that Xu Cheng, the eldest brother-in-law, is quite capable. At least he can put Mrs. Qin in a safe place. He comforted Mrs. Qin a few words and asked Mrs. Qin to go home to rest first. Yu Xijiao then went to her house.
When she left the house today, she first saw off her eldest sister.
Another thing is to ask Mrs. Yu on behalf of the old lady, why she did this and why she was so vicious.
The carriage left General Jingyuan's Mansion and went to Dali Temple. I had asked the people at Dali Temple about this matter early and got permission from Dali Temple to visit.
The old lady is still ill. She is lying on the bed and is being taken care of by Yu Lanyun. She can only ask Yu Xijiao to take a trip. This time, the old lady is not willing to ask.
Yu Xijiao herself had to go through such a journey.
