It wasn't until evening that Suiyu rushed back from outside.
"The young master has been admitted to the palace by your majesty, so I am late to come back. But don't worry, girl, I have already brought your message to the young master. The young master said that he will help you handle the prince's affairs."
As soon as Yu came back, she didn't even have time to take a sip of water and immediately ran to Xie Wu to report to her.
After hearing her words, Xie Wu frowned slightly, "When did I ask you to take the message?"
Suiyu chuckled, "I'm not afraid that the girl will be anxious, so... By the way, girl, the young master said, His Majesty has confirmed with the cabinet that he is going to go hunting in autumn. The news will be spread in the capital about tomorrow. The young master asked the girl to do well.
In preparation for a long journey, if there is anything missing, just send your slave to tell him."
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhan actually guessed it...
When she thought of what was going to happen next, Xie Wu couldn't help but feel a little worried in her eyes.
Early on the next morning, the news came out in the palace that Emperor Zhengxuan was going to Lin Siwei Yang Qiushou. As soon as the news came out, the nobles in the capital immediately started to move around frequently. They were all asking each other about this trip.
What are the honorable persons? For these honorable persons, being able to travel with a driver is a sign of status. If they are left behind, it can only prove that they have fallen out of the honorable circle. For this reason, some people who know that they have not been
Those who are selected should also take advantage of this period to do more activities. Otherwise, once the list is announced, it will be even more difficult for them to squeeze into the circle of distinguished people.
And Yongningbo Mansion is one of the most frequently visited residences recently.
In fact, Yongning's Mansion has long been in decline. If it weren't for Yang Hefeng, the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards, they would have been squeezed out of the circle of honors and honors in the early years. Now, Yang Hefeng and his son were sentenced to be executed by the Queen of Autumn, although His Majesty did not do so.
He moved his anger to Yongningbo Mansion, but Yongningbo Mansion also completely declined because of this.
After another encounter, Mrs. Yongningbo had no choice but to go to the Marquis Wu'an Mansion.
After expelling Yang Hefeng from the clan, Yongningbo and his wife immediately picked a nephew from among the younger generations of the same clan to adopt as their descendant. This autumn hunting, in addition to the Yulin Army, Zuo Yiwei was also on the list. Because of this, Yongning
The uncle wanted to take this opportunity to insert the heir into Yulinwei or Zuoyiwei, but Mrs. Yongning went to several houses, but was rejected without exception. As a last resort, she could only find her own in-laws in the end -
—The Marquis of Wu'an.
At this time, the old lady was explaining to Xie Wu what to pay attention to during this autumn hunting. When a servant came to report that Mrs. Yongningbo was here, the old lady's face immediately sank.
She has not forgotten how she got into trouble with her in Ronghuayuan a few months ago after knowing what happened to Yang and Xie Yuan. If she hadn't moved out of Princess Yongning, the old lady might not have been willing to withdraw her troops, but even so
, she also used Yang Hefeng to put pressure on her, asking her to make Yang and Xie Yuan more comfortable.
Now, Yang Hefeng has been sentenced to death. If she hadn't been afraid that others would say that the Hou family was in trouble, she would have asked the old man to divorce Yang from the house. She has endured it to this point, but now, this old lady actually comes to her door.
Come.
"Old Madam Yang should be here for Mr. Yang." Seeing the old madam's face darkened, Xie Wu pursed her lips slightly, and then she reminded the old madam in a low voice.
The old lady also heard about the new heir in Yongning's house, so when she heard what Xie Wu said, she immediately understood the intention of Mrs. Yongning's coming here.
"Ah Wu, go and tell Madam Yongningbo that I'm not feeling well and won't see guests." After the old lady said that, she held Nanny Zhu's hand and prepared to enter the inner room.
But she had only taken two steps when Mrs. Yongningbo's hearty voice sounded outside.
"Old sister, are you going to rest?" Mrs. Yongningbo pushed aside the little maid who was blocking her, and walked into the house with flying steps.
Seeing that no one was stopping her, the little maid who was following Mrs. Yongning had her eyes red. Fortunately, at this time, Xie Wu chuckled and waved her hand.
The little maid glanced at Xie Wu gratefully, and after blessing her, she bowed and quietly left.
Seeing Mrs. Yongningbo rushing in without even announcing the news, the old lady's face became even more ugly. However, before she could speak, Mrs. Yongningbo spoke again.
"Old sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you look better and better!" Mrs. Yongning said with a smile.
The old lady frowned.
Everyone said that she looked good, but it would be too deliberate for her to say that she needed to rest when she felt unwell! After all, Yang was still the second wife of the Hou Mansion.
Thinking of this, the old lady managed to squeeze out a smile. She looked at Mrs. Yongning and said, "Why are my relatives free to come here today? Isn't the uncle's house busy recently?"
The smile on Mrs. Yongningbo's face froze for a moment, but after just a moment, she immediately reacted. Following the old lady's words, she sighed and said, "Sister, are you laughing at me? Yes, which noble family is now?
If we are not busy packing for Qiu Shou, our uncle’s house will be the only one... In-laws, your house must be included in this trip!"
The old lady originally wanted to ridicule Yongningbo's family for the recent extermination and adoption, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Yongningbo would use this opportunity to make a conversation and directly lead the conversation to the autumn hunting.
Mrs. Yongningbo seemed to have expected that the old lady did not want to answer her question, so she smiled and said, "Look what I said, your heir apparent is the deputy general Zuo Yiwei, and he is not accompanying him this time."
No one can live without him!"
"Old madam, you are here to see your second aunt, right? How about I have someone take you to Tinglan Courtyard?" Just when the old madam was hesitating how to respond to Mrs. Yong Ningbo's words, Xie Wu beside her suddenly chuckled.
Then he spoke.
Seeing Xie Wu suddenly interrupting, Mrs. Yongningbo felt a hint of displeasure in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face. Instead, she smiled more kindly, "Good boy, don't worry, your grandmother and I still have something to say.
, how about you go outside and play for a while first?"
"That's really unfortunate. I also have something to discuss with my grandmother." Xie Wu said with curved lips. After saying that, she didn't wait for Mrs. Yong Ningbo to speak. She directly turned to the old lady and said, "Grandma, my father said, this is Qiu
This is his first time accompanying him on a hunting trip, so in order to avoid being taken advantage of by someone with serious intentions, we must be careful."
Xie Wu said the word "people with a heart" very seriously. She didn't forget to glance at Mrs. Yong Ning next to her as she spoke.
It would be fine if she was rejected by the old lady, but to be treated so emeraldly by a junior like Xie Wu in front of her face, no matter how deep the palace of Lady Yongning is, her face would be a little uneasy now.
But after the old lady heard Xie Wu's words, a smile appeared on her face. She nodded repeatedly to Xie Wu and said, "Your father is right, traveling with you is not a trivial matter. We really need to be more cautious!"
After that, the old lady looked at Mrs. Yongningbo with a smile on her face, and she said again, "My dear, you think so!"
Seeing the grandfather and grandson singing and drinking, Mrs. Yongning was extremely angry, but she didn't even dare to say anything that was not true.
Today is different from the past. Without Yang Hefeng, the son of the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards, the Yongning Mansion is nothing now. Even if she is willing to risk her skin, her daughter is still in the Hou Mansion.
"What the old sister said is..." Even though she was extremely angry, in the end, Mrs. Yong Ningbo still had to compromise and lower her head.
She had to leave a way for her daughter to survive.
Seeing that Mrs. Yongning was aware of the current affairs and did not mention Qiuchi again, the old lady showed a satisfied smile on her face, "My second daughter-in-law has been talking about you in the past few days. Since you are here, let's go to Tinglan Courtyard to see you."
Look, this will help her recover from her illness with peace of mind."
The daughter was forcibly sent to Qingyun Temple, the son was also ordered not to set foot in Xiyuan, there was another Aunt Jiang in the back house, and Aunt Mei, who had been overwhelmed by her in the past, was also pregnant.
Each piece of information was like a huge stone pressing heavily on Yang's body. Even though Yulan stopped her and didn't want her to know, the news still slipped into Yang's ears without paying attention, and it went smoothly for most of her life.
How could she withstand such a blow? Therefore, her illness never recovered.
In the past, the old lady would have let Mrs. Yongningbo see Yang in order to avoid complications, but now...
Again, today is different from the past.
She had done her utmost kindness by not taking Mr. Yang out of the house!
After Pearl led Mrs. Yongningbo to Tinglan Courtyard, the old lady sat back on the chair again, "Speaking of which, this is the first time that our Marquis has participated in the autumn hunt."
Speaking of this, the old lady couldn't hide the joy on her face.
It's not that Wu'anhou's Mansion didn't receive the invitation, but Xie Yu and Xie Zheng were both in Ningxia at that time, and Xie Feng's rank was too low, so in the past, Wu'anhou's Mansion was absent from Qiuchi.
Seeing that the old lady was happy, Xie Wu also smiled and said, "How about grandma go with us!"
"Look at what stupid things you said. Do you think grandma is still as young as you? The autumn hunting journey is far away, and my old bones can't be broken!" The old lady glanced sideways at Xie Wu and pretended to be angry.
Xie Wu smiled, lowered her eyes and stopped talking.
She did say it casually to make the old lady happy. After all, the road to Linxi Paddock is not very easy to walk, and she is following the Yu family. There are many inconveniences along the way. With the old lady's age and status, it is indeed inconvenient.
Join in the fun, otherwise it will be troublesome if someone gets a headache or fever along the way.
The old lady also knew that Xie Wu was just talking casually to make her happy, but she couldn't help but feel that she was really happy, so she smiled and continued to ask Xie, "Have you chosen all the people to follow you this time?
"
"Not yet, I'm just looking for you, grandma, to consider the candidate." Xie Wu said with a smile.
After hearing what Xie Wu said, the old lady nodded with satisfaction, "You really need to carefully consider the people you bring out this time. In addition to the people around you, you also need to bring a few more agile women to provide food and clothing along the way.
Someone needs to take care of the expenses. Do you want to choose someone? You and Aunt Zhu will add it up later and make a list for me to review. The things you need to bring along the way also need to be put on the list, and then you can prepare the list.
, don’t leave anything behind.”
Although Xie Wu kept the Hou's house in order, she had just grown hair and was traveling far away for the first time, so the old lady was still very worried about her.
"Yes, my granddaughter has noted it down." Xie Wu lowered her eyes and responded meekly.
Seeing Xie Wu being so docile, the old lady smiled with satisfaction. Finally, as if she suddenly remembered something, she suddenly spoke again, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you?"
