"Changge is responsible for Jiuqiqi, once Gaoche guards Kuaiji."
"Returning home is a matter of success, only the wealth will be left to glorify the ex-wife, glorify the ex-wife..."
A small blue oilcloth car passed by on the long street. Hearing the ditties sung by the roadside restaurant, it creaked to a stop.
A withered hand stretched out from the curtain of the car, tremblingly opened a corner, revealing half of an old face, a pair of cloudy eagle eyes no longer as sharp as before.
He slowly looked up and saw the words Yushanlou written on the top of the restaurant.
"What is this place?"
Hearing his hoarse voice, the servant who was driving the carriage hurriedly said: "Master, this is the best restaurant in the imperial capital. Even His Majesty has visited it in person, and even mentioned couplets! It is said that it is owned by the eldest princess of Zhenjiang. Get some Pingtan singers to entertain the guests, the sound must be the musicians singing."
The old man nodded slowly, chewing on the words "Princess Zhenjiang" in his mouth, and slowly lowered the car curtain.
He had only been away for a year, and the adopted daughter of the Guhou Mansion of unknown origin had become the eldest princess. What earth-shaking changes had taken place in the imperial capital...
The car continued to drive forward, and stopped outside the Xiangfu gate.
Seeing that it was an ordinary small car, the servant at the porter snorted coldly, "It's another person who came to curry favor with our Prime Minister's mansion after seeing his fortune. How dare a person who rides in this kind of car come to curry favor with the Prime Minister's mansion? Didn't you see those Shangshu masters?" Can't we please you in a four-horse chariot?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and ordered people to drive away the people in the small car.
The driver who didn't want to drive the car spoke first, "Hey, why don't you invite the young master and young lady to meet the master? Come two people to unload the master's luggage."
"master?"
The servant was taken aback, "Master, master! You are back! Hurry up and help the master down!"
The second half of the sentence was addressed to the servants below. They were about to chase him away with vicious expressions on their faces. Seeing his face change so quickly, they quickly put on flattering smiles and bowed to the side of the blue cloth cart.
The coachman helped Yin Yan out of the car, and when everyone saw it, it was amazing——
The master has only been in Fujian for a year, why is he so old
Yin Yan and Yin Jixie came out of the mansion one after the other, and rushed to help Yin Yan. The long-lost father-son relationship made people cry.
Yin Jizheng broke down in tears, "Father, why are you so thin? Are you cold?"
She took the stove from Pei'er and stuffed it in Yin Yan's hand. The latter saw the white veil on her head, "What's wrong with your face?"
Yin Shuo thumped in his heart, thinking that he couldn't hide this from Yin Yan, so he could only smile and said, "Father, it's cold outside, let's go in and talk slowly."
Walking from the gate to the upper room, Yin Yan paid attention to the weather in the mansion.
All the layout has not changed since he left, and the upper room is also clean, and it looks like it has been cleaned from time to time.
But he clearly felt that something had changed.
The expressions on the faces of the servants changed, each of them was full of joy and pride, and they showed a lot more respect to Yin Shuo, the eldest son, than before.
"My lord, Mr. Liu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is asking to see you. Do you want to see me or..."
"See what? Didn't you see your father coming back today? I don't see anyone."
The servant came in to report, Yin Shuo glanced over, and the servant immediately bowed and left the upper room.
Seeing his uncompromising and assertive appearance now, Yin Yan's heart sank and he didn't speak.
It wasn't until he sat down at the head of the court and brought hot tea in his hand that he said: "Now you are the prime minister, with one person under ten thousand, and you are deeply favored by His Majesty. Presumably this Master Liu is here to flatter you?"
Yin Shuo said, "The Prime Minister was the first to receive the New Year's gift from His Majesty. These people used to be silent, but now they are fawning on His Majesty's favor. How can I tell my son to look at them?"
Yin Yan only knew that Yin Shuo was deeply favored by the new monarch, but he didn't know how much he was favored. He asked in surprise, "What about the Marquis Gu's mansion?"
The corners of Yin Shuo's lips curled up slightly, "Guhou's Mansion only sent a gift from His Majesty to the Eldest Princess, and I'm afraid Guhou's Mansion will have to wait a few more days for the annual gift. I'm afraid Guhou's Mansion has never been so deserted as this year, my father is happy ?"
"Happy? Ah, happy..."
Yin Yan didn't know what he was thinking, and turned around to see Yin Jiyu, "What's the matter with the wound on your face, let Wei father take a look. How could it be such a large wound?"
He pushed the white gauze away, and the large scar underneath made him frown, and immediately looked at Yin Shuo with displeasure, "I told you brothers and sisters to support each other when you left for your father, how did your sister get hurt like this?"
Yin Shuo looked at Yin Jiyu, instead of waiting for her to complain, he might as well tell Yin Yan first.
Sooner or later, this matter cannot be hidden, Yin Yan may get angry because of this, but she will never hit a mouse and hurt the jade bottle, and fall out with herself because of Yin Jiyu.
He is confident in this.
He was about to speak, but Yin Jixie said first: "I am self-willed. My elder brother asked me to do something. I accidentally hurt my head, so I blamed my elder brother and refused to see the imperial doctor. My elder brother has been asking the imperial physician to see me. It was me." The scars were left because of refusal to apply medicine and refusal to diagnose and treat."
Yin Shuo was taken aback for a moment, pursed his lips and did not speak.
This younger sister of hers lived in Guhou's Mansion for two months, but she suddenly came back yesterday, and when she entered the door, she said that she knew that her father was coming back, and she was willing to turn hostility into friendship with herself, as if nothing happened before.
Yin Shuo didn't know what kind of plan she was planning, but he couldn't refuse it. It would only be worse if Yin Yan came back and found that she was not in the prime minister's residence.
Originally thought that Yin Jiyi would have to sue herself in front of Yin Yan, but she didn't expect her to take the initiative to cover up her fault, why
Yin Shuo never believed in the kindness that came out of nowhere, even if that person was his own sister.
He stared at Yin Jiyu vigilantly, and suddenly heard Yin Yan say: "Why is the eldest princess Danyang missing? When you sent a letter to Minzhong to tell my father about this, my father was very happy. There are only a few things your mother left behind." His relics were placed in the mansion, but they were not given to his daughter-in-law in time."
Yin Shuo smiled, and winked at the servant outside the door, who quickly ran to invite Princess Danyang.
"Speaking of which, Danyang has not yet visited his father as a daughter-in-law, so the son ordered someone to bring her to meet his father."
He used a belt, not a please.
Yin Yan vaguely felt that something was wrong, and when she saw Princess Danyang coming in in plain clothes, her muscles and bones were thin, she stood up in surprise.
Yin Shuo took his hand, "Father, please sit down. Danyang is a junior, so he should see his father."
Yin Yan frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "That's the reasoning, but there is a difference between monarchs and ministers. Princesses don't have to serve their husbands and Weng aunts like ordinary people. You and I are ministers, and she is the emperor."
Yin Shuo smiled, looked down at Princess Danyang, she stepped forward to greet Yin Yan, "I have seen the old prime minister."
Yin Yan felt that the atmosphere was weird. The letter sent from the Ming Ming Mansion told him that Yin Shuo and Princess Danyang had a normal married life after marriage, but he felt that the son and daughter-in-law in front of him were not like newlyweds.
It's like a pair of enemies, neither of them wants to look at each other more.
Before Yin Yan could speak, Yin Shuo stood aside and reprimanded: "You are dressed in plain clothes during the New Year's Eve, and today is a good day for father to come back. Are you sure you want to curse my Prime Minister?"
Yin Yan was startled, he did not expect that he would reprimand Princess Danyang in public.
Looking at Yin Jixie's familiar expression, she just sat and sipped her tea, which showed Princess Danyang's status in the mansion.
Princess Danyang didn't react at all when she was scolded, she just looked up with a sneer and said with a sneer: "My father passed away in March, so what's wrong with me as a daughter, Dai Xiaoyan? Could it be that the son-in-law expects me to be dressed in red and celebrate the New Year happily with you all?" ?”
"you… "
A trace of hostility flashed in Yin Shuo's eyes, and Yin Jixie quietly raised her eyes, restraining her expression and pretending not to care.
Yin Yan immediately dissuaded, "Okay, you should be more polite to the eldest princess. What she said is that your Majesty's filial piety period has not yet passed, and even though it is the New Year, you should not be too happy to make arrangements, and you should focus on thrift."
As he spoke, he walked towards Princess Danyang, and said softly: "When the eldest princess came down to the prime minister's mansion, the old man was still in Fujian, so he was not allowed to meet the ceremony. According to the rules of the Yin family, the old man has a few pieces of jewelry worn by his wife that he wants to give to the princess. It was passed down from my mother’s generation.”
Yin Ji smiled and said, "Grandmother gave those jewelry to mother, and mother wants to pass it on to daughter-in-law. Even my... this biological daughter has no chance to get it, but sister-in-law must accept it."
Yin Yan nodded with a smile, the resolute Prime Minister Yin in the past is now just an old man looking forward to his descendants.
Although Princess Danyang harbored hatred in her heart, Yin Shuo was the only one who hated her, Dang even nodded to Yin Yan, "Thank you, old prime minister."
