Emperor Yuanyou in the palace sat restlessly on the dragon chair, and the papers on the imperial case had not been turned over for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Madame and Yuwei have successfully entered the Duke's Mansion." Heizi came out from nowhere and reported softly.
Hearing the news that he had been waiting for for a long time, Emperor Yuanyou's heart was finally back to its original place.
"I will arrange for her to leave in a few days. After all, the Duke's Mansion is not a place to stay for a long time. Although she has changed her appearance, my aunt is a shrewd person. If she recognizes her, it will be more troublesome for no reason." Emperor Yuanyou thought for a while , commanded.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Madam is a cautious person, and Wei Shizi will make proper arrangements, and will not let Madam reveal her identity easily."
Emperor Yuanyou nodded slightly: "Jun Hang's work is indeed appropriate."

But it was said that Shen Xinyan, mother and son got into the carriage prepared by the servants and headed all the way to Xu Sumin's house in Beijing.
"Where is mother going?" In his memory, he seemed to have never had the experience of going out with his mother in a carriage. Wei Chenglin was a little excited, and curiously opened the curtain to look outside, and found that the carriage was not heading for a commercial street, but for a residence in the city. district.
"Go to the house of a new friend." It was the first time for Shen Xinyan to go out with her son alone, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited. Hearing her son's question, she answered with a smile.
Wei Chenglin nodded, but didn't ask who his friend was.
"By the way, mother, there is something I would like to ask you to tell me." Suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly sat up straight and said.
"you say."
"Yesterday Yunfu came to look for me and said that he wanted to practice martial arts with me. I don't know what mother wants?"
Shen Xinyan was startled, then surprised: "He asked you to tell him?"
"Yes, not long after I came back from my grandfather yesterday, he came to me and told me about it."
Shen Xinyan shook her head helplessly: "Why is this kid in such a hurry, he hasn't recovered yet! I'll talk to him later."
Originally, she planned to let Yunfu study and practice martial arts with her son, but Yunfu has suffered a lot in the past six months, his body is a little weak, and now he is recuperating under the doctor's advice, so he only reads and reads recently.
"Mother, actually practicing martial arts to strengthen his body does not conflict with his current recuperation, and it will make his body better and better. But he is still young and has no foundation in martial arts, so he has to start all over again. The child started practicing when he was young. Wu was taught by Master Wu, if the mother does not object, the child will go to find Master Wu tomorrow and ask him to teach Yunfu, what do you think?" Wei Chenglin also had different opinions on this.
Shen Xinyan thought about it carefully, and thought it was so good.
"Since that's the case, then do as you say!"
Seeing that she agreed, Wei Chenglin's eyes lit up, and he said again: "Since that's the case, why don't you let Yunfu come to my courtyard to study and write in the future! In this way, he doesn't have to run back and forth every day."
Yunfu is now with little Yingzhi, reading and writing with the teacher who is in charge of teaching Yingzhi.
"This will take some time until your father invites a new gentleman."
Master Wu no longer teaches Wei Chenglin martial arts, it is feasible for him to teach Yunfu, after all, it will not affect Wei Chenglin's progress. But studying is not enough, and now Wei Chenglin's husband was invited back by the British Duke himself, and he is only responsible for teaching Wei Chenglin.
Shen Xinyan can remember clearly that the British Duke originally planned to ask him to enlighten Wei Chengzhao and Wei Chengyue from the third room and Wei Chengqi from the long room, but Mr. Na said that he would take the exam for the three of them before accepting him after passing the exam. only.
In the end... She couldn't help shaking her head when she thought of the ugly faces of Fang Shi and Yang Shi who learned that their son was rejected.
Although she regards Yunfu as a child, Yunfu is not of the Wei family's blood after all, no matter whether the gentleman accepts Yunfu in the end, Fang's and Yang's may not be easy to explain.
Seeing her like this, Wei Chenglin was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, he was happy again, and when he pursed his lips, he revealed a light smile of joy.
Shen Xinyan didn't miss his flashing smile, and asked with a smile: "You are so happy when Yunfu came to practice martial arts with you?"
"I'm glad that someone will practice martial arts with my son in the future." Wei Chenglin nodded vigorously.
Although it is very likely that each of them practiced with their own husbands, they are still in the same yard, so they can be regarded as companions.
Shen Xinyan was stunned for a moment, staring deeply at his pair of eyes that were obviously brighter, and suddenly realized that her son would also be lonely.
Yes, how can you not be lonely? At a young age, he had to study and practice martial arts alone with his husband. Other children at his age could still nestle in the arms of their parents and act like a baby, but he got up before dawn every day to practice martial arts.
Others only saw his excellence, but no one noticed the sweat behind his back.
She sighed, patted the back of his hand pityingly, and her tone became more and more gentle: "I will let your father find a husband as soon as possible, and then let Yunfu move into your yard."
"Well, good, thank you mother!" Wei Chenglin was even happier.
While speaking, the carriage stopped, and Xu Sumin's voice was heard outside the carriage.
"Ma'am is finally here!"
Shen Xinyan hurriedly got up and planned to get out of the car, but Wei Chenglin moved faster than her and jumped out of the car first. When she leaned out of the car, she saw him standing beside the carriage, reaching out to her, as if to help her Get off the pose.
She smiled slightly, handed him her hand, and stepped on the small stool to get out of the car.
"Madam Xu has been waiting for a long time!"
"That's not true. This is Mr. Ling, right? You really are a good-looking talent." Xu Sumin's eyes fell on Wei Chenglin.
"It is indeed a dog, Brother Lin, this is Mrs. Xu."
"Madam Xu!" Wei Chenglin bowed to Xu Sumin politely. Xu Sumin sideways avoided, she was polite again.
After a while, the three of them sat in Xu Sumin's relatively spacious and comfortable carriage, while Chunliu and Xu Sumin's maid sat in another carriage, and the two carriages headed for the suburbs of Beijing one after the other.
"A few days ago, Mr. Qiao Liu and I also went to the scene to have a look. Fortunately, the spring is quite hidden, and no one has found it, so I got a big deal. By the way, I also brought the design drawings, I'm afraid If you don’t understand, I’ll show you one by one when I get to the scene. If you have any dissatisfaction, or have any better ideas, you can also mention them. Lively and colorful, booming!" Talking about business matters, Xu Sumin's face was stained with begonia red with excitement.
Shen Xinyan was also aroused by her, not to mention that she had witnessed the hot scene of Zhuangzi with her own eyes, not to mention the excitement.
She seemed to be able to foresee that in the near future, a large amount of income would be added to her private account.
Wei Chenglin, who had been quietly listening to the two of them talking, finally couldn't help interjecting: "Is mother planning to do business with Mrs. Xu?"
Shen Xinyan didn't hide it from him, just nodded, and then head to head with Xu Sumin, pointing at the blueprint.
Wei Chenglin opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but after seeing her like this, he didn't say anything more.
After about an hour or so, the carriage stopped in front of a barren hill in the suburbs of Beijing.
"Don't look at it being barren now, but there is gold hidden in it!" Xu Sumin approached Shen Xinyan and said jokingly.
Shen Xinyan smiled lightly and nodded in agreement.
Isn't it just hiding gold if you make money every day
After all, it is an undeveloped barren mountain, and at the same time, they are also worried about encountering poisonous insects and snakes in the mountain. The few people did not enter the mountain, but walked around the foot of the mountain to look around.
Xu Sumin took the drawings and explained to her as she walked, depicting her ideal hot spring village.
Shen Xinyan didn't understand these things, and she had the experience of her previous life, so she had absolute trust in Xu Sumin's vision. She just listened to her quietly and occasionally asked a few questions, and didn't notice that she was always in a hurry. Wei Chenglin who followed her slowly disappeared without a trace.
"Huh? Where's the eldest son?" Chunliu was the first to notice it and exclaimed.
Shen Xinyan looked back, but her son was nowhere to be seen.
"Don't worry, let's look for it separately. No matter whether we can find it or not, we will meet in the carriage after two quarters of an hour." Seeing that her face changed in anxiety, Xu Sumin said calmly, and at the same time directed the people who brought her to look for it separately.
Shen Xinyan also quickly calmed down.
Brother Lin is not that kind of playful and ignorant child, he will never leave for no reason, presumably he went astray for a while.
For a while, I regretted that I should have neglected my son.
After waiting for a while, seeing Xu Sumin and the girl moving down the square stool from the car, she regained her composure and ordered Chunliu to help.
There was a gentle breeze in the suburbs, carrying a bit of refreshing coolness, time passed bit by bit, and the person who went to find her son had not yet returned, and her calmness gradually could not be maintained.
Suddenly, there was a sound of slight but hurried footsteps coming from not far behind, and there seemed to be signs of getting farther and farther. The small figure ran into it, and immediately became anxious, raised its voice and called out "Brother Lin", and hurriedly chased after it with its skirt.
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin..." I didn't know how long after chasing her, but the little figure was no longer seen, and she was so anxious that she shouted everywhere.
The only thing that answered her was her own echo.
"Where did this child go!" Unknowingly, a circle of sweat oozed from her forehead, but she never saw her son's figure. She panted and wiped the sweat away.
"Madam, may I ask if you have seen a little girl? She is so tall, with two braided heads, big and bright eyes...wearing light yellow clothes." The child's characteristic soft voice suddenly came There was a sound from her side, and she had a happy face.
"Brother Lin!"
Turning around, she found that the person standing in front of her was not Wei Chenglin, but an eight or nine-year-old boy.
However, when she saw the boy's face clearly, her eyes burst into flames.
It's him! ! Zhou Jia Erlang! !
