After the two agreed on a plan, Yun Chi gave the order to leave for Beijing tomorrow.
Hearing that His Highness the Crown Prince is leaving for Beijing tomorrow, Mr. Zhou came here in a hurry, and sincerely begged for a banquet tonight to see His Highness and the Crown Princess off.
Mr. Zhou is not a person who knows how to exploit, so this pleading is frightening.
Yunchi asked Huayan with his eyes.
Hua Yan smiled and said, "You go to the banquet, I won't go, you can let Master Zhou and Mrs Zhou bring the young master and miss from the mansion, I will meet you."
Yunchi nodded.
Master Zhou heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed to attend the banquet. Although the Crown Princess did not agree to attend the banquet, she was overjoyed to see their family. He hurriedly brought Mrs. Zhou and the three sons and one daughter of the mansion, and sternly told them After a while, I came to see the princess.
On Wednesday, Young Master whispered to Zhou Hongmei, "Sister, the Crown Princess wants to see us, tell me, is she really Sister Yan?"
At this moment, Zhou Hongmei also had some certainty in her heart, "Probably yes."
On Wednesday, Young Master was overjoyed, "It would be great if the Crown Princess is Sister Yan."
Mr. Zhou walked ahead, and when he heard the two talking, he immediately turned his head and warned, "Even if the princess is Hongmei's benefactor, you are not allowed to be rude, let alone reckless and offensive. You must be cautious in your words and deeds, that is Crown Princess, Your Highness's attitude towards the Crown Princess is deception, seeing is believing, and now that you have all seen it, it is extremely pampering, and you must not offend the Crown Princess."
"How dare you, that's the Crown Princess." Young Master Wednesday assured immediately, "Father, don't worry."
Mr. Zhou nodded. His children, no matter whether they were descended from the concubine or from the concubine, were all worry-free, and they were all worth taking.
A group of people came to this courtyard, and when Tong Chuan entered the room, they only vaguely saw two luxuriously dressed figures sitting opposite each other, they didn't dare to look more, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to salute.
Huayan smiled and said, "Master Zhou, Madam, please get up quickly, there is no need to be so polite. After a farewell in the past, I didn't expect to meet again now, so it can be seen that it is really a fate."
Master Zhou, his wife, three sons and one daughter heard that she was really Huayan, and they were both surprised and happy in their hearts. After standing up, they all looked at Huayan.
Looking at it, Huayan still has the same eyebrows and eyes as before, but it seems to be different from the past. She is wearing a loose dress, but the luxurious temperament of the whole body complements the Crown Prince sitting next to her. He is still as friendly and lively as before, which is really unbelievable.
Mr. Zhou is more stable, but also a little excited, "I never expected that my former benefactor came here again today. The official residence of Xiaguan is really flourishing, and I am very lucky."
Mrs. Zhou also quickly said, "What the master said is, the princess, are you okay?" After finishing speaking, she thought of the news that the princess disappeared at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve. Now His Royal Highness has rescued the princess , but seeing that her face was a little pale, and her body seemed to be weak, she felt afraid that she had said the wrong thing, that she was hijacked while pregnant, she was so beautiful naturally.
"Very good, Mrs. Lao and Madam are pregnant." Huayan smiled, swept the other four people, and waved to Zhou Hongmei, "Xiao Hongmei, come forward, let me see, you are such a beautiful girl, have you ever settled for a husband's family?" If it's undecided," she said, she glanced at Yun Chi.
Yun Chi's face suddenly tightened, and he stared at Hua Yan, meaning he was asking, what do you think I am doing
Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, the three young masters and Zhou Hongmei were all startled, wondering what the Crown Princess meant by what she said
For a moment, Qiqi didn't dare to look at Yunchi, and Qiqi held his breath.
Huayan paused on purpose, and looked at Zhou Hongmei with a smile.
Zhou Hongmei's face turned red and then turned pale again, looking at Huayan, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't dare.
After all, Master Zhou is the head of the family after all the storms. After being startled, he quickly said, "Princess Bing, my daughter has not yet decided on her husband's family. I don't want my daughter to marry so richly. I just want my daughter to live a peaceful life."
Zhou Hongmei also immediately said at this time, "Sister Yan, no, the princess, what my father said is true."
Huayan's smile remained unchanged, she stood up, walked two steps, came to Zhou Hongmei, grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "I used to like Xiao Hongmei, and I was a little reluctant to leave at that time. Your look Look, if you marry into an ordinary family, I am afraid that your husband will not be able to guard you, and you will be spied on, and you will not be safe. There are many brothers in my family, and there are a few friends who have never married. You are the matchmaker, and you are guaranteed to marry a satisfactory husband, what do you think?"
When she said this, Yun Chi's complexion instantly relaxed, and he looked better, but he was still unhappy seeing Huayan holding Zhou Hongmei's hand and not letting go.
Zhou Hongmei stared blankly at Huayan, wondering whether to answer or not.
Master Zhou was also stunned.
Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed, she was not afraid of Huayan at this time, it was related to her daughter's lifelong happiness, she immediately said to Huayan, "My wife, thank the princess, because Hongmei looks so good, so it should have been settled long ago. For her marriage, she couldn't find a suitable one for a while. My master and I dare not marry her easily. We are only such a daughter. You know how she has been tortured by illness for so many years. We are afraid that we will marry the wrong person , missed her for the rest of her life. It was only delayed until now."
Mr. Zhou wanted to say something, but he felt that what Mrs. Zhou said was true. Although it happened suddenly, he couldn't say it badly. With the Crown Princess protecting the matchmaker, it is natural that others would not dare to bully each other lightly, and her character must not be such that she would do such a thing. He pondered for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Crown Princess, it would be nice to have you as a matchmaker, but it still depends on the young lady's own will."
Huayan nodded, and looked at Zhou Hongmei with a smile, "What do you think, if you go with me, I will have many playmates in Beijing in the future. As for you, you don't have to be afraid of getting into trouble with this pretty face and want to scratch it with a knife." Let's go." As she spoke, she pinched Zhou Hongmei's face, "God gave you this appearance, but it's a blessing, you don't have to hide it, not everyone has this blessing." After talking, she persuaded, "What's more , the bitter cold in the north, a land the size of Qingyuan City, didn't you tell me before that you hoped to be like me when you recover from illness, go out and have a look? Now that you have a chance, don't think about it anymore."
It seemed that Zhou Hongmei was moved by this last sentence. She did not expect Huayan to remember what she said when she was ill, and her eyes turned red for a while, "Sister Yan, you still remember."
"Yes." Hua Yan smiled, "At that time, I didn't dare to abduct you, but now?" She smiled and glanced at Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, the meaning was self-evident.
Zhou Hongmei also looked at her parents, and the two looked strange when they heard Huayan say that they had been kidnapped.
Young Master Wednesday couldn't help but speak at this time, and whispered, "Sister Yan, I also want to go out and have a look, you"
Before he could finish his sentence, Master Zhou glanced over, and he immediately shut up.
Huayan turned to Young Master Zhou, Mr. Zhou's young masters are all well-bred, the first and second sons are married, only the third princess is young, she looks like a teenager. She smiled and said, "I won't forget it, but for my sake, you can ask His Royal Highness to test you. Your Highness cherishes talents the most. If your talent passes the test, Your Highness will take it away." You, maybe."
On Wednesday, Young Master turned to Yunchi immediately, knelt down in front of Yunchi for the rest of his life, and said as if dying, "Your Highness, please take the exam."
Yun Chi raised his eyebrows. At this moment, he understood what Huayan meant when he saw this family. He was afraid that one day, there would be a war here. Even though Mr. Zhou's family stayed here for two days, he could see it clearly. He is a good official and a good person. The three sons and one daughter he taught are also capable. The three sons have their own talents, and the one daughter is not only good-looking. The imperial court is short of people, and talented people should be used in an eclectic manner.
After he understood Huayan's meaning, he smiled and said, "Okay, I will test you with three questions. If you answer them, I will take you with you."
On Wednesday, the son was overjoyed, "Your Highness, please write a question."
Although he is the youngest, still a teenager, two years younger than Zhou Hongmei, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he is smart and seems to be quite confident in his studies, otherwise he would not let Yun delay the exam calmly.
Yun Chi asked three questions according to his age.
On Wednesday, Young Master answered the first two questions happily. The third question seemed a little difficult, but he managed to answer it. Although it was not satisfactory, it was still relatively good.
Yun Chi nodded with a smile, and said cheerfully, "Okay, you pack up and come to Beijing with me tomorrow. Your knowledge is still not good enough. After you enter Beijing, I will arrange for you to enter the Beijing Middle School and learn some things. After a year and a half, see what you can do at your discretion."
The young master was overjoyed on Wednesday, he never dreamed that it would be so easy, and he was a little silly immediately.
Lord Zhou said excitedly, "Rui'er, hurry up and thank Your Highness." After speaking, he first knelt down and thanked Yunchi.
Mrs. Zhou also knelt down and kowtowed, almost weeping with joy.
Although the Zhou family has several wives and concubines and several children, they get along harmoniously, so even if Mrs. Zhou is not the son of Wednesday, she is still very happy.
So, on this day, it was decided that Zhou Hongmei and Zhou Rui would go to Beijing with Yunchi and Huayan. On the evening of that day, there was a banquet hosted by the Chengshou Mansion. Zhou Hongmei and Zhou Rui did not attend, and were busy packing their bags for entering Beijing.
Because Huayan had to go on her way the next day, she took a rest early after meeting Master Zhou's family.
