Steward Qian saw the two talking back and forth at the gate, he was secretly anxious, Madam Xindao, it's okay if you are not too cold, but it seems not good to let the old county prince talk at the gate, right? If you let people know, you will gossip!
Steward Qian wiped his sweat silently, finally had a chance to interrupt, and immediately said with a smile: "Old Prince, Madam, it's cold outside, why don't we go to the mansion..."
Lian Fangzhou was also worried about Lian Ze in her heart, that's what Laomin County King said when they met abruptly, how could she calm down? I couldn't help but asked along.
Hearing Steward Qian's words, he came back to his senses, and said with a quick smile: "It's true, it's true! I almost neglected it! The old county prince, please sit down in the mansion!"
King Laomin waved his hand and said, "No need! I won't go in! Anyway, I've finished what I have to say! I'll go back now, and you guys should go back too!"
"..." Everyone fell down in unison.
This old county prince is really a wonderful flower, just a few words at the gate of his house? Don't even go into the house to sit and sit
However, if it was just a matter of a few words, wouldn't it be the same if he just sent someone to talk to him? Why come here yourself...
Although Lian Fangzhou was also surprised, he couldn't wait for it.
He didn't hold back, and said with a smile all over his face: "My wife listened to the old county prince, it's cold here, please take care of yourself! By the way, Azeta, do you have a letter—"
King Laomin shook his head and said: "A few words can explain things clearly, what letter do you want? Don't be too long-winded! Don't you have these few words anyway? At most, I can add a few words. Live your life at home and don't miss me. And so on, nothing new! You can guess it by yourself if you think about it."
Lian Fangzhou was speechless again.
Well, although what he said is not wrong at all, the feeling of reading the letter is different from the feeling of thinking about those words according to his temperament, okay
Lian Fangzhou had no choice but to complain.
The King Laomin already waved his hand and said: "The old man is leaving now, you go back! No need to send it off!" He turned around and went to the car again.
Lian Fangzhou and others watched his carriage leave speechlessly, and glanced at the crowd, "Let's all go away!"
The previous preparations were in vain!
It's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.
Even Ze didn't come back, and the population of the mansion was even smaller.
Even the sisters Fangzhou and Mrs. Zhou came here with Li Yunhan. If Xu'er was not so cute and cute to adjust the atmosphere, how low the air pressure in this mansion would be!
The host is not there, Lian Fangzhou has already ordered everything to be done according to the rules, and there is no need to make it too lively.
So this year, except for a few pots of narcissus, peonies, crabapple, orchids in full bloom in the house, I did not buy flowers such as camellias, rhododendrons, orange trees full of fruits half the height of a person, and red plums to be placed outside.
In addition to the Spring Festival couplets and door god paintings that should be replaced on the door, only a pair of red lanterns are hung on the main door, the second door, and the Yimen, and there are no hangings on the corridors or under the corridors.
The New Year's atmosphere in the whole mansion is very light, and the sporadic red color makes the whole mansion look dignified.
On New Year's Eve, dinner was served earlier than usual, and before it got dark, several people had dinner.
Chun Xing led the lady in charge of the inner house to go around and explain everything, while Li Yunhan, on behalf of the master, inspected the front yard with the company of Luo Guang and Qian Butler, and rewarded Li a lot. Those personal guards who are endowed.
In the warm pavilion in the upper room, Lian Fangzhou sat and laughed with Mrs. Zhou and Lian Fangqing. The nanny and Xu'er were also playing on the kang. There were several maids such as Hongyu and Haitang standing on the ground, which was quite lively.
Everyone was chatting, laughing, gossiping and knocking on snacks, when Qinghe suddenly opened the curtain and came in from the outside, and said with a smile: "Madam, Steward Qian has something to ask, and he said that there is great news!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and before Lian Fangzhou could ask, Lian Fangqing rolled her eyes and said with a quick smile, "Sister, could it be brother-in-law and second brother who have good news?"
"You would think about it!" Lian Fangzhou said so, but his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly ordered Qinghe to invite Steward Qian in.
Steward Qian blushed with excitement, bowed to Lian Fangzhou with a smile as soon as he came in and saw the ceremony: "Ma'am! It's really a great happy event! Good news came from Liaodong! Just four days ago, our master personally received People raided the Jurchen base camp and killed them. They threw away their helmets and armor, and they were completely defeated, and the leader was beheaded! Our master has made great contributions again, and he must be back soon! This good news came at the right time. The emperor was overjoyed and ordered people to come back Riding horses in the streets everywhere to spread the good news, all the people celebrate together!"
"real!"
"Very good!"
Everyone was beaming immediately, Hong Yu waited hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, congratulating with a smile.
Mrs. Zhou shook Lian Fangzhou's hand and said "good" several times with a smile. Lian Fangqing clapped her hands and laughed, "I'm smart, I guessed it right away! Xu'er, your father is coming back soon." , are you happy!"
Xu'er said "ah" twice, waving her little hands and grinning, making everyone laugh.
Lian Fangzhou's heart surged with joy like boiling water, this war is finally coming to an end!
"Sure enough, it's a great happy event, a great happy event! Butler Qian, tell me that everyone in the mansion will be rewarded with an extra month's money! When the master returns triumphantly, he will reward you heavily!"
Steward Qian smiled and bowed to accept the order, and said with a smile: "This old servant thanked Madam for the reward!"
The excitement here has not yet passed, Chun Xing, Luo Guang, and Li Yunhan also came over after getting the news. After a while, everyone from the family came one by one, kowtowed in the yard to congratulate, even Fangzhou ordered Chun Xing, Hong Yu went out to give out rewards.
The general's mansion was full of jubilation and celebration, sweeping away the solemnity before.
This good news arrived on New Year's Eve, so it was an excellent omen and a very auspicious thing.
The emperor ordered the whole city to make a big announcement, and in less than half an hour, every household in the capital knew about it!
Even the Fangzhou mansion welcomed groups of congratulators, such as Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Zhao, etc. Mrs. Zhang and Bi Tao naturally also came. Lively until late at night.
Sending off the last group of people, guessing that everyone who should come has come, and no one will come, Lian Fangzhou thanked Zhou again, and sent Luo Guang to send her and Li Yunhan back to the old house. Let Lian Fangqing go back to her room to rest.
This quiet, although the body feels tired, the brain is still in a state of unspeakable excitement, and there is no sleepiness at all.
Still Hongyu smiled and said: "Madam, go back to the room and rest! You have to go to the palace to congratulate me early in the morning! Tomorrow the queen will definitely stay with my wife to talk, and those wives who are ordered to come forward will definitely come forward Madam said a few words, and there is still plenty of entertainment! If Madam doesn't sleep, how will I have the energy to deal with it tomorrow."
What he said made even Fangzhou laugh, and said: "You are right, I'm going to sleep now! You guys have to work harder tonight, remember to wake me up early in the morning! Don't miss the time!"
Hongyu smiled and agreed, called the little girl in, and waited for her to sleep without mentioning it.
