Ningwu seventeen years, March 3rd.
Li Hong, the youngest son of the King of Qi, was personally escorted by Yun Rang to Miss Xu's family, and returned to the Xu Mansion in Shangjing. At this time, seven years have passed since Xu Yingluo left Beijing.
When Xu Yingluo came to Qi Palace, she was only an eight-year-old girl. Li Hongshang remembered that he went to meet this little cousin by himself. Old Princess Qi came from the Yu clan of Jiangmen, and was Li Hong's biological grandmother. He was about the same age as Xu Yingluo, and was born only a few days later than her, so she had no choice but to suffer the loss of being a younger brother.
Li Hongchang is so old, this is the first time he has come to Beijing. Xu Yingluo was sitting in the sedan chair, and he drove his horse at the head of the team, all the way from the city gate to Xu's mansion, which was an eye-opener. They arrived earlier than the scheduled time, and a large group of managers and stewards of the Xu Mansion came out to greet them.
The chief manager of the Xu Mansion, surnamed Zhang, is named Yuan. He is quite old and fat, but he is very shrewd. Li Hong thought, he has never seen a person who can be a chief executive who is not shrewd.
As soon as Li Hong came forward, Zhang Yuan bowed and said, "Meet the prince of Qi." The group of people behind also knelt down.
Li Hong was taken aback by such a big battle.
At this time, there was a chuckle from the sedan chair. Without waiting for the girl to help her, the sedan chair curtain was lifted, and a young girl came out gracefully. Although her appearance is not beautiful, but her eyebrows and eyes are very heroic, very smart and intelligent: "Excuse me, our son from the countryside can't afford such a big gift."
Yun Rang is thousands of miles away, so the rules are naturally not as strict as those in the capital. When Zhang Yuan and the others saw the girl, they bowed again: "Welcome Missy back home."
Xu Yingluo said "Get up", and she glanced at the group of people in front of her. Zhang Yuan came over knowingly, and explained: "Master Hou is in court, the young lady came back early, the Lord Yuan went to the shop, just received the news, and is on his way back."
In the twelfth year of Ningwu, General Xu made great contributions in repelling the enemy. Today, he is granted the title of Marquis of Zhenping, with a thousand households in the city. Xu Yingluo didn't make a fuss, just took the arm of Prince Qi's son: "My house is here, so I'll take you, a bumpkin inside, to have a look."
Yunrang is remote, but it can be regarded as one of the most prosperous places. As the prince's son, Li Hong thinks that his knowledge is not small. Before he came to Beijing, he had heard about the aristocratic family in Beijing. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he knew that Xu Yingluo called him a "bumpkin". .
Not to mention the carved beams and painted buildings in front of me, every object is exquisite and elegant, even the cup for drinking tea has a lot of background. Li Hong has seen many exquisite things, but rarely sees that each of these things can be blended together properly, and he can't help but secretly marvel.
Not long after, the servants came and said: "The Lord Yuan is back, waiting for the son and young lady in front."
Li Hong and Xu Yingluo followed the servant to the front hall of Xu's mansion. Before arriving in the capital, Li Hong knew that there were three masters in the Xu family in Beijing. Xu Yingluo comes from the eldest family, she is the only daughter of Marquis Zhenping and his ex-wife Luo Shi. Although Marquis Zhenping is an ordinary person, his merits are not inferior to that of Qi. The second master is the Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment of the dynasty, and the official worship is the second grade. The third master, who is not an official, is an imperial merchant hand-picked by his superiors, and he also practices afforestation, so he can be regarded as a wealthy idler. Both the second master and the third master are Jingui's wedges, and the court master Shen comes from the Shen family in the Qishili, married the three brothers as his wife, and they have been married for nearly ten years. In addition, there is a young master in the mansion, who is the shirzi born by the Shen family, who is only six years old.
Back then, when the Xu Mansion was in turmoil, the Marquis of Zhenping thought that he could not take good care of his daughter, so he sent Xu Yingluo to the Qi Palace, and the old concubine personally disciplined her. Now, Xu Yingluo was nearly 28 years old, and it was time to talk about marriage, so she returned to the capital.
Li Hong also knew that this little cousin had an upright temperament, so it would be better to put it in a more pleasant way. He listened to humanity, and the reason for Xu Yingluo's discord with her cousin was somewhat related to that Shen family. No one could explain it.
When she got to the front hall, Xu Yingluo behaved herself. These years in Yunrang, she has been disciplined by her aunt and influenced by several sisters, and her temper has been greatly restrained. When the two stepped in, Li Hong raised his eyes subconsciously, and the people who had been waiting in the front hall looked back.
It was a very handsome man. He was dressed in a moon-white uniform, with green silk tied up with a jade crown, and a jade pendant pinned to his waist, looking elegant and handsome.
At this time, Xu Yingluo blessed her body and said politely, "Yingluo has met the courtier."
Hearing this, Li Hong couldn't help being taken aback.
He still thought that the person in front of him was the master of the Xu family, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be the court lord of the Xu family. Li Hong once saw other princes' scorpions, even males, with a natural appearance and feminine appearance, more like a little girl, and his attire is very different from the person in front of him, which can often be seen at a glance. Not to mention his appearance, but his demeanor alone, the emperor of the Xu family might think that he is a son of a nobleman from a big family in Beijing.
