The Lofty Fierce Consort

Chapter 35

? Hou Ye is coming back.

Before Yan Ting set off, he delivered the letter to his home, so he was five or six days away from the capital, and the letter reached the Weiyuan Hou Mansion. He didn’t say anything in the letter, only the approximate date when he got home.

The whole of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion moved, Mrs. Yan smiled in the day, and even the face of Aunt Pei, who had always been low-key, could see a little bit of joy, but Shen Yiyao’s joy was not obvious and occasionally a little bit of embarrassment. It’s just that everyone was thinking about the letter that Master Hou was about to come back, but no one paid attention to her.

Without mentioning it, Yan Ting arrived in no time.

Knowing that Lord Hou will be there today, the mansion has been arranged early, and the mansion will be scattered and dusted a few days in advance, and the adults and children will wear new clothes, as if to welcome some great hero to the mansion.

Yan Yan also took Yan Mo to prepare. Seeing the beaming old lady, she wanted to say something not to laugh too early. Of course, this can’t be said. She is a child in the face, and grandpa said what she should do without knowing what to do.

Almost in the early afternoon, the housekeeper who was guarding the city gate came to report. Lord Hou entered the city gate, and the old lady hurriedly summoned the family and went to the gate to wait.

Not long after, Yan Ting led a team of people on horseback.

Yan Ting was wearing bright leather armor, riding a black horse, and walking slowly. He faces the wind in Yushu, brave and mighty, and handsome. In fact, Yan Ting’s appearance is quite good, tall and slender, but not rugged, handsome appearance, slanted winged eyebrows, thin lips, and sharp black eyes. His whole body is restrained and unrelenting. .

Anyway, Yan Yan saw her mother in a trance, and suddenly her eyes became…excited.

Yan Ting got off the horse and knelt before Mrs. Yan two steps forward.

“Mother, my son is back.”

“It’s good to be back, good to be back.” The old lady wiped her tears and hurriedly pulled him up.

Uncle Yan Yan Zhi and Yan San Ye, who were hard to see in the past, were also there. Yan Zhi was in his thirties and had a fat body and short beard. He enthusiastically stepped forward and patted Yan Ting twice, “You will be fine if you come back, second.”

Yan Ting’s eyes were introverted and indifferent, and he called Big Brother. Shao Yan Qu, who had always been in classical Chinese, also came up and called his second brother. In contrast to Yan Zhi, the two brothers were obviously more emotional, at least Yan Ting’s eyes softened a lot, and he patted his brother on the shoulder.

Then Yan Ting moved his eyes to the right and placed him on Shen Yiyao.

He stepped over, “Yao’er.” His expression did not show enthusiasm, but Shen Yiyao’s hand was squeezed under his sleeve.

Shen Yiyao’s complexion was excited, her eyes flushed slightly, “Husband.”

“Are you okay?”

“I’m very good…”

Aunt Pei, who was standing by her slender hand, pinched her skirt tightly, faintly visible blue veins.

“Okay, don’t show the love between your husband and wife, your second brother and sister, let’s go in, there will be time for you to talk later.” Xue’s laughed teasingly, and helped the old lady to walk into the house.

Shen Yiyao bowed her head shyly, Yan Ting patted her hand with a chuckle, and followed her first.

A group of people entered the mansion mightily and went to Rong’an Hall.

When he arrived at Rong’antang, the old lady saw her son’s life and dust, so she asked him to take a shower and change clothes and wait for a while. The others stayed in the main hall of Rong’an Hall, waiting for a banquet with Yan Ting to meet the dust.

The Xue family has always been a discerning person, and seeing the old lady smiling and welcoming, it is even more greedy. The words and words Zhuji were in the heart of the old lady, making her smile more joyously. Yan Zhi was raised by the old lady since she was a child. She naturally knew what his aunt liked to listen to, and she was also full of witty remarks and constant laughter.

The couple made the old lady laugh again and again, it can be seen that the reason why the two can continue to stay in the Weiyuanhoufu as a concubine is not unreasonable except for some reasons.

Yan Sanye has always spoken little, but just smiled and didn’t say much. Although Yan San’s wife Chen was very disdainful of the flattery of Dafang’s couple, she was always a stupid speech and didn’t know how to intervene.

Of course, no one was disappointed at this time, regardless of whether she was happy or not, at least the smile on her face must be held up. When Yan Ting left, she took Shen Yiyao away. Aunt Pei didn’t show up on her face, but she knew that she was not without thoughts when she didn’t speak.

Yan Yan’s mood was very delicate at this time, she just pulled Yan Mo and sat on the cross-back chair by the wall of the main room and watched all this from a distance.

The flower hall on the west side of the main hall is very large, with three large round tables carved with rosewood wood carvings of fairy and peach and auspicious clouds in a triangular shape. The maids and women are constantly coming up to offer a variety of meals, jade plates and silver chopsticks, delicious delicacies, and extremely luxurious.

Not long after, Yan Ting arrived in a new dress. He is dressed in a dark blue brocade robe with a round neck and auspicious clouds, and a gold-inlaid jade brocade belt around his waist. At this time, his temperament has changed again when he wears ordinary clothes, he is more gentle and elegant, and a little more handsome.

Shen Yiyao walked behind him with a red face. The difference was that she changed her clothes and the hairpin on her bun. As soon as the old lady saw Yan Ting, she asked him to come forward and sit down. Everyone’s attention was focused on Yan Ting, but no one noticed Shen Yiyao’s strangeness.

The only exceptions are Aunt Pei and Yan Yan. Yan Yan just wondered how her mother changed her clothes, but Aunt Pei thought more, she couldn’t help but bit her.

The juniors also leaned forward and saluted. Yan Ting looked at Yan Mo for a while, and asked with concern, “How is Mo’er’s body well?”

Yan Mo smiled shyly and lowered his eyes, “My son is in good shape recently, and he’s not sick much.”

Yan Ting nodded and asked Yan Yan again, “A Yan has been naughty recently, hasn’t you annoyed your mother anymore?”

Yan Yan said, “Mother is never angry when she sees me now.”

It’s a pun, but it’s a pity that Yan Ting can only pass his ears.

After that, Yan Ting cared about Yan Hong and Yan Qian again. Compared with Yan Mo and Yan Yan’s restraint, these two were much more cheerful. Yan Qian’s little daughter said that she hadn’t seen her for a long time and missed her very much, while Yan Hong naughty took Yan Ting’s hand and said that Dad had promised to bring back the horse.

It’s not that I don’t know all of this, but I just look at it from a different angle to see a lot of things. For Yan Yan, fatherly love was a seemingly caring greeting since childhood. It seemed very good, but it was a bit more alienated, and there was less intimacy between father and daughter. On the contrary, compared with Yan Hong, this kind of relationship between them is a normal father-daughter relationship.

Aunt Pei relieved her anger and gave Shen Yiyao a proud glance. Shen Yiyao was looking at Yan Ting with a smile and did not pay attention. Yan Yan looked straight at this one, feeling that her younger brother’s hand was tightening tighter and tighter, she squeezed Yan Mo’s small hand and comforted him.

After a brief remark, the banquet in the flower hall was also ready, and a group of people went to the flower hall.

The table is divided into several elders. The old lady, Yan San Ye and Yan Ting are in line with their respective main rooms. The others are the young masters, the girls, and the aunts and so on are standing by themselves. The girl who came out served afterwards.

The table etiquette in Weiyuan Hou’s Mansion is still quite good, what is important is not to eat and sleep. However, today is different from the past. It was to wash away the dust. Uncle Yan is a good wine. How could the brothers not have a drink?

The three brothers crossed their cups and were extremely happy. The old lady looked at this scene with a smile, and said nothing.

Uncle Yan drank too much and talked a lot, and a basket of good things fell on Yan Ting’s body, both admiration and flattery, and as he spoke, he talked about matters that everyone in the family cares about.

“Second brother came back this time, he must have won the battle, but he is sure about it?”

The errands that Yan Zhi and Yan Qu led were all idle jobs, but things like the ones above couldn’t reach their level. However, seeing Yan Zhi’s second brother’s return, he must have done what he wanted. After all, Yan Ting went to the border this time, and it took nearly three years to go there. During this time, he never came back. Everyone knows why he left.

As soon as Uncle Yan’s voice fell, everyone’s eyes fell on Yan Ting.

This is the last generation of the Marquis Mansion in Weiyuan. If the glory cannot be renewed, the court will be changed, and there will no longer be the glory of the Marquis Mansion. This is a major event in the entire mansion, don’t look at the intrigue in the mansion, but it is quite clear what is the most important thing. Take the big house for example, with the Weiyuan Houfu backed up, which is better than the change of the door at the time, so everyone is very concerned about this matter.

Shen Yiyao shook her hand, and the silver chopstick fell on the ground, because everyone’s eyes were focused on Yan Ting, but no one noticed. Seeing this, the maid on the side hurriedly brought a pair of clean ones to offer.

Yan Ting’s face was a bit condensed, but he also knew that he couldn’t help but shook his head, and said, “I’m here to return to Beijing.”

As soon as this statement came out, the table suddenly became quiet.

Looking at Yan Ting’s expression, everyone frowned and tightened. The old lady wanted to say something, but did not hesitate to speak, Uncle Yan yelled anxiously, “But what happened? What do you say about entering the Jue?”

The sound was a bit loud, and the two tables of the adjacent juniors quietly looked over.

The old lady coughed twice and said, “Ting’er just came back and didn’t even eat a refreshing meal. Let’s talk about it later.”

The old lady has spoken, and others are not good to say anything. The wine that had been drunk was also put down, and everyone at the table could not taste it.

After eating, the juniors were taken away by their respective nanny maids. The maids quickly began to pick up the tabletops, while the old lady took a few sons and wives to the East House. Aunt Pei is also here, she has been there in recent years, and no one feels abnormal over time.

The old lady was sitting on the big kang by the window, Yan Ting sat opposite her, and everyone below was sitting on the ebony armchairs with rich flowers. A team of maids came in to serve the masters with tea, water, and fruits. Mother Zhao went to close the door, and then stood by the door.

“Second, what the **** is going on.” The old lady took the lead in speaking.

Yan Ting sat on the kang, his eyes were a little dark and inexplicable, and said: “My son doesn’t know, but the court suddenly came to transfer orders, so he returned to Beijing.”

The old lady frowned, pondered for a moment, and asked: “Where is the transfer order? There are arrangements for future errands.”

Yan Ting’s complexion was ugly for a moment, “No.” After a pause, he said again: “After my son is going to rest, he asks someone to go to the Ministry of War for inquiries.”

It seems that everyone feels the seriousness of it. General military commanders go to the border, and there are only a few possible ways to leave. One is that the man who has made meritorious service will be promoted to a higher position, and the other is that he is transferred from the front to the place. Some will be promoted by one or two levels, of course, another one is to be dismissed for investigation if they make a mistake.

Haven’t been transferred back silently like this, and the future errands are unknown, is it possible to be like those alternate Jinshi who are waiting in Beijing? This is where Yan Ting was surprised, because it was too abnormal.

“In the beginning, the second brother went to the border checkpoint, but it was arranged by Lord Zhenguo. This was for no reason to let people come back. There must be some explanation, right?” Uncle Yan glanced at Shen Yiyao and said.

In an instant, everyone’s eyes were focused on Shen Yiyao.

Shen Yiyao’s complexion was a little stiff, and also a little helpless, she habitually asked for help and looked at her husband. Unexpectedly, Yan Ting’s eyes seemed to be separated by layers of yarn, making it difficult to tell what was inside.

After a moment or a while, Shen Yiyao, sitting on pins and needles, heard Yan Ting say: “The military commander’s transfer order is under the control of the Division of Arms, and what does it have to do with his father-in-law.”

Seeing her husband relieved, Shen Yiyao nodded hurriedly.

Uncle Yan did not speak, San Ye has always been a little talker, the old lady’s eyes were a little thoughtful, and the room was very quiet.

Yan Ting stood up and said, “Mother, I will go back to rest first, and after the rest, I will go to the Ministry of War to ask questions.”

The old lady nodded, everyone in the room stood up, and Yan Ting nodded before leaving the room. Shen Yiyao also bowed and retired.

Yan Ting took the lead. After going out of the gate of Rong’an Hall, he stood still and waited for Shen Yiyao to follow him before holding her hand in the direction of Jinseyuan.

Seeing this, Shen Yiyao felt relieved, showing a sweet but shy smile.

Xiaojiesheng was newly married and asked for water three times in Jinseyuan in one night. Aunt Pei, who received a letter from the person below, bit her silver teeth secretly, and smashed a whole set of Ru kiln porcelain tea sets in the house. . . ?
