When the Nuan family returned home, Lin Tingxuan was still waiting at home.
This time Lin Tingxuan also brought an old nanny.
Lin Tingxuan introduced to Wen Nuan: "Hui'an County Master is a retired nun from the Palace Division. She is good at all kinds of embroidery skills. She came here to teach the County Master's sister embroidery skills."
Last time Wen Wen asked Nalan Jinnian to find an embroiderer with good embroidery skills. At that time, Wen Wen's house had not been built yet and there was no place for grandma to live. Now that the house is built, Nalan Jinnian sent someone over.
The old nanny came to Wen Nuan and bowed respectfully to her: "I have met the Lord Hui'an County."
"Mom, there are no formalities. From now on, you will be my sister's master and a member of our family. You can stay here and be an elder with peace of mind. Our family does not have so many etiquettes and does not need to see them."
Nalan Jinnian had mentioned the situation of this nanny before. There was no one in the family anymore. She used to be the manager of the department building.
After she retired, major aristocratic families in Beijing rushed to pick her up and take her to the mansion to serve as a nanny and give her honorable care.
However, she declined all invitations and wanted to return to the village alone to retire.
Nalan Jinnian approached her, and she agreed because Nuan Nuan's family was far away from the court and lived in the village.
Aunt Hua nodded: "Thank you, Lord Hui'an."
Nuan Nuan looked at Lin Tingxuan: "On New Year's Eve, I'm really sorry that Mr. Lin is not allowed to have a New Year's Eve dinner with his family at home. If Mr. Lin doesn't mind, he can have a New Year's Eve dinner at our house and wait until the snow stops before leaving. Bar!"
Lin Tingxuan originally didn't want to disturb them, but the shops outside were closed on New Year's Eve, and their dry food had been eaten on the way.
Even if he didn't want to eat, the two guards who followed him wanted to eat, so he didn't refuse.
"excuse me."
The three of them, Lin Tingxuan, had the New Year's Eve dinner and did not leave until the snow stopped.
The three of us ate a little too much at this meal, and we were all embarrassed.
It was so delicious and they were very hungry.
Lin Tingxuan finally understood the reason why Eunuch Lin's eyes were filled with tears when he found out that he was here to convey the order, and then he told himself to ask for some pastries and beef jerky from the Lord Hui'an County to eat before returning home.
He finally understood why Master Qi asked him to tell the Lord Hui'an that he was very hungry!
And the miracle doctor Feng Xiao...
Nuan Nuan has received thousands of advices from several people! We packed ten baskets of vegetables, one basket for each of the three people, and gave the rest to the three responsible people. We also prepared a lot of cakes, beef jerky, pork jerky and the like for them to eat on the way.
Lin Tingxuan has already mounted his horse.
Wen Xin walked to Lin Tingxuan with a box wrapped in a baggage: "Mr. Lin, thank you for helping me last time! This is a thank you gift."
After seeing Lin Tingxuan's true face, Wen Xin couldn't call him uncle this time!
He is only three or more years older than his brother!
Lin Tingxuan thought it was food and took it: "Miss Wen, you're welcome. Farewell!"
The two guards also thought it was food, and looked at Lin Tingxuan with envy and jealousy as he got an extra box of food!
The three reluctantly embarked on the road back to Beijing.
The two guards were embarrassed to say that it was Chinese New Year, but in fact they also had holidays and could stay for two more days!
Beijing
Tonight is New Year's Eve, and the emperor is hosting a banquet for all the ministers.
Officials of fourth grade and above can bring their family members to participate.
The emperor invites you to dinner only a few times a year. What an honor it is!
In the large Tianyuan Hall, men and women were divided into two sides, filled with ministers, wives and noble ladies.
The banquet has not started yet, and the emperor has not yet appeared.
Everyone in the hall was chatting and laughing.
Among the noble ladies, princesses and princesses sat at the top, and then there was Guo Mingyan!
Guo Mingyan was sitting there chatting and laughing with everyone. Her eyes fell on a certain position across the way, one person below ten thousand people, and she thought: From now on, even the princesses will have to be courteous to her.
The future Princess Jin will have high seniority and noble status! Apart from the Queen and the Queen Mother, there is no third person!
At this moment, many people were talking around Guo Mingyan:
"Mingyan, when will you and King Jin get married?" Tan Shiwan, the legitimate daughter of Yongchang Mansion, asked.
Everyone looked at her after hearing this.
Guo Mingyan blushed and said shyly: "How can you ask me about this kind of thing? How do I know? Everything has to be decided by the Queen Mother."
She wants to know too! But she secretly begged the people from the Qintian Prison to ask King Jin whether to start calculating the wedding date, but King Jin threw her out.
Fortunately, I asked this question in secret, otherwise I would be so embarrassed!
The eighth princess Nalan Chengyue said with an innocent face after hearing this: "That day, the people from the Qintian Prison ran to ask Uncle Jin when he was getting married, but he was thrown out by Uncle Jin's people! Sister Mingyan, I I was passing by the Qintian Prison that day and I happened to see you coming out of the Qintian Prison. Could it be that you asked the people from the Qintian Prison to ask?"
Guo Mingyan's smile froze: "How could it be? It hasn't snowed in Beijing a while ago. I just wanted to ask Mr. Li when it will snow."
The Eighth Princess smiled: "It's best if you don't. Master Yunhua once told Uncle Jin Wang's fortune and said that Uncle Jin should not get married early. He must be at least twenty-five years old before he can get married, otherwise he will die young! So Sister Mingyan, you Don’t worry!”
Everyone: "..."
King Jin seems to be only twenty now!
Isn’t it five years from now when I’m twenty-five
Guo Mingyan is eighteen this year, what about five years from now
Twenty-three! Isn’t this an old girl
At the age of twenty-three, many people are mothers of three children! The big one knows how to make soy sauce!
But if I could marry King Jin, it would be worth it to become an old girl! Some people thought sourly.
Guo Mingyan's expression froze, but she quickly recovered her smile: "The Eighth Princess is joking, I am in no hurry. I am willing to wait no matter how long it takes."
Some people nodded unconsciously. If they were engaged to King Jin, they would all be willing to wait!
The Eighth Princess smiled: "That's great! But! Sister Mingyan, remember to take better care of yourself! Now you look older than Uncle Jin Wang. I'm worried that in five years, if you don't take good care of yourself, , she will look like Uncle Jin Wang’s mother!”
The eighth princess covered her mouth when she said this: "That's not right! Uncle Jin's mother is the imperial grandmother. The imperial grandmother is the most beautiful woman in the entire Nalan Kingdom. She looks younger than you now! I'm worried that you are more beautiful than my mother and concubine." Old! I’ll give you some jade muscle cream another day!”
Guo Mingyan really couldn't keep her smile this time.
What does it mean to be older than her mother and concubine! Concubine Shu is already over thirty years old!
She looks pretty and charming in the imperial capital, right? !
Everyone lowered their heads, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.
The grandson of the Great Emperor, Nalan Shengyuan, had been watching the movements over there. When he saw the Eighth Princess bullying Guo Mingyan like this, he frowned: "Eighth Princess, how can you say that?"
The eighth princess turned to look at him: "What can't I say, princess? Am I wrong to say that the royal grandmother is young and beautiful?"
Without even looking at who she is or what she looks like, how dare she use the late emperor's decree to force her colorful Uncle Jin to marry her? From head to toe, she didn't see how Guo Mingyan was worthy of her Uncle Jin!
Grand Emperor Sun: "... ... ..."
