Two days later.
When the sky seems bright but not bright.
In the Yiyang courtyard of the Zhu family's ancestral home in Juyang City.
Zhu Huaimin, the old man of the Zhu family who was over seventy years old, lay on the bed early and opened his eyes.
"The eighth day of October is an auspicious day."
"It is appropriate to start construction, break ground, travel, move, and hold sacrifices."
Zhu Huaimin leaned quietly on the bed, slowly opened a yellowed book by the candlelight beside him, and murmured in a low voice the slightly stenciled handwriting on the yellowed book.
"Buddha bone relics, Dharma Sea Arhat."
After a while.
Zhu Huaimin slowly closed the yellowed book in his hand.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the window sill.
Although the window sill was tightly closed, there was no trace of outside color.
But it did not affect Zhu Huaimin's gaze.
His gaze seemed to be able to see through the closed window sill, through the half-dark sky, and reach the Yanwang mansion located in the east of Juyang City.
A look of wisdom mixed with deep complexity flashed across his slightly cloudy eyes.
I do not know how long it has been.
Zhu Huaimin just slowly looked away from the window sill with a complicated expression on his face.
"Change."
Zhu Huaimin composed himself, then his expression returned to normal and he spoke softly.
His voice just fell.
The door between the inside and outside of the master bedroom was gently pushed open by someone from the outside.
Several beautiful maids walked slowly out, holding clothes that were still warm.
After a while.
Zhu Huaimin dressed neatly and slowly walked out of the master bedroom.
As they walked to the outside of the master bedroom, they saw several figures slowly walking towards the master bedroom under the guidance of the old servants of Yiyang Court.
"father."
The third, fourth and seventh brothers of the Zhu family arrived at the master bedroom and bent down to salute.
"grandfather."
The two brothers Zhu Zongting and Zhu Zongnian followed closely and bent down to salute.
Zhu Huaimin nodded slightly and was about to say something.
A slightly petite figure slowly walked out from behind the two brothers Zhu Zongting and Zhu Zongnian.
"grandfather."
The slightly petite figure said softly with a reddish complexion.
"Wan Ning?"
After seeing the slightly petite face clearly, Zhu Huaimin couldn't help but look slightly stunned.
Obviously, the appearance of that petite figure was not within Zhu Huaimin's expectation.
And that petite figure was no one else.
Astonishingly, she was the legitimate daughter of Zhu Guangli, the eldest son of the Zhu family, the biological sister of Zhu Zongting, the eldest grandson of the Zhu family, and Zhu Wanning, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family in Shanggu.
Zhu Huaimin looked stunned.
Zhu Zongting hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Grandpa, Wan Ning has been studying Buddhist scriptures these days. Suddenly I heard that the prince will present the Buddha's bones and relics as a gift today. I can't restrain myself from paying homage to the Buddha. I just lost my etiquette. I hope you can forgive me."
The words are over.
Zhu Wanning, who had slightly red cheeks, slowly stepped forward from behind Zhu Zongting as if she had finally summoned up the courage.
"I hope Grandpa will forgive me."
Zhu Wanning slowly bowed and saluted.
She is very ladylike in her words and deeds.
Zhu Huaimin's eyes flashed past Zhu Zongting, and then he looked at Zhu Wanning who still maintained the posture of bowing and saluting.
His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate Zhu Wanning's outer disguise and reach the deepest part of his heart to get a glimpse of his truest thoughts.
Zhu Huaimin felt secretly funny. ….
It's funny, but also quite helpless.
He hasn't had time to plan the matter yet.
My precious baby bump can’t wait to be delivered to my doorstep.
Zhu Huaimin calmed down slightly, then pretended to be muttering.
After counting the interest.
Zhu Huaimin slowly said: "It's good to worship the Buddha, but that's all."
Two simple words made Zhu
Wan Ning's heart suddenly tightened.
The originally dignified and generous saluting posture inevitably trembled slightly.
"However." Zhu Huaimin pondered again for a few breaths, and then slowly said: "Wan Ning is a woman who has not left the court after all. It is really indecent to show her face like this."
After he finished speaking, Zhu Huaimin didn't wait for him to speak again.
Zhu Wanning quickly took out a pure white complexion from the sleeves of her blue engraved silk embroidered butterfly pattern cloud silk dress.
"Grandpa, after leaving the house, Wan Ning will cover her face with a gauze."
Zhu Wanning stood up slowly, covered her face with gauze and spoke slowly.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaimin felt quite helpless and had to speak slowly: "In that case, Wan Ning will go with us today."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Zhu Wanning's face flashed with joy, but it returned to normal in the blink of an eye, and she bowed and thanked her gracefully.
...
...
Chenshi.
The slightly warm sunshine slowly shone in Juyang City.
Under the warm sun, countless figures spread out from the moat of Prince Yan's Mansion in the east of Juyang City, between the mountains and rivers.
Wherever there is a road, there will always be huge crowds.
Any building with more than two floors on both sides of the main road will become a must-have for the rich.
For a time, the excitement from the moat of Prince Yan's Mansion to the south gate of Juyang City was dozens of times more than during the New Year.
Countless soldiers and government officials were scattered in every corner, sweating profusely, and maintaining order on the scene with dry mouths.
At the same time, more than ten luxurious carriages came out of the major mansions in Juyang City.
Then we drove slowly on the main road which was crowded with people.
"elder brother."
Inside one of the luxury carriages.
Zhu Wanning sat upright on the couch, looking up at Zhu Zongting who was not far in front of him, picking up the car curtain and looking into the distance.
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Zongting slowly put down the car curtain in his hand, turned around and looked at Zhu Wanning, whose face was covered with white gauze.
"Have you ever met the princess?"
Zhu Wanning hesitated for a few breaths, and finally lowered her head slightly and asked softly.
Although his voice was soft, Zhu Zongting still heard some uneasiness in his voice.
"Never seen it before."
Zhu Zongting pondered for a moment and finally answered truthfully.
"oh."
Zhu Wanning nodded slightly with disappointment, and then lowered her head again.
Think about it.
If it hadn't been for an outing with my boudoir friends that day.
If it weren't for that boudoir friend, His Highness Prince Yan would never leave his side.
If it weren't for the fact that when I returned from an outing that day, I happened to encounter a three-column green-covered carriage returning from outside the city.
If it weren't for the owner of the three-wheeled green-covered carriage that day, who opened the curtain.
If it weren't for the owner of the three-column green-covered carriage that day, he was leaning on the soft floor in the carriage, looking slightly tired and looking out the window with an extremely deep look.
If it weren't for that quick glance that day.
She would never forget it so much.
There are too many if not, making it feel like it has lost its soul, and it can't keep up with it all day long. ….
After all, she is a daughter who has reached the age of hair to be married.
After all, it is the age when we miss each other the most.
In the following days.
Zhu Wanning would always want to know everything about Xu Yi uncontrollably.
For this reason, he always insinuated his brother.
For this reason, he often exchanges information with his boudoir friends who are also from wealthy families. ,
During that period, Zhu Wanning was like a man obsessed with learning everything about Xu Yi.
Even though he has his own self-cultivation, he always performs flawlessly every time he makes insinuations.
However, Zhu Zongting, as his half-brother, naturally knew him very well.
In the end, Zhu Zongting noticed the clues.
After realizing it, what awaits Zhu Zongting is endless torture.
Yesterday alone, he was pulled by Zhu Wanning to tell Xu Yi's various deeds for two or three hours.
Unfortunately, he has recounted these deeds countless times.
He is so proficient in those deeds that he can recite them by heart.
When she was most thirsty, Zhu Wanning slowly blurted out her true purpose.
In desperation, Zhu Zongting had no choice but to agree to give it a try.
Therefore, the scene that happened in Riyang Courtyard today just happened.
Inside the luxurious carriage of Zhu Mansion.
The corner of Zhu Zongting's eyes flashed across the face of Zhu Wanning, who had his head slightly lowered and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Lovesick women are the most terrifying."
Zhu Zongting turned his head slightly, thinking secretly in his heart.
The words trailed off.
Zhu Zongting couldn't help but add in his heart: "Women who have unrequited love are even worse."
...
...
It's almost halfway through Chen hour.
More than ten luxurious carriages came out of various mansions in Juyang City.
After passing through countless crowds.
Finally, it slowly stopped a mile outside the moat of Prince Yan's Mansion.
In front of it, dozens of carriages of different specifications and levels of luxury were parked neatly on both sides of the road.
As soon as the Zhu family's carriage stopped, they saw two soldiers in half armor riding fast horses.
"Your Majesty has an order! The old man of the Zhu family can ride into the mansion!"
Two soldiers wearing half armor slowly stopped their horses in front of Zhu's carriage. One of them turned over and dismounted and said loudly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Huaimin slowly walked out of the carriage with the support of Zhu Guangren, the third eldest son of the Zhu family, and bowed his hands in front of the palace.
"Old Master Zhu, please get in the car and follow me there."
The soldier who turned over and dismounted looked at Zhu Huaimin, cupped his fists and saluted.
"Thank you, two little brothers."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Huaimin stood up slowly and chuckled.
"Mr. Zhu's words are serious. Please mount your horse immediately and follow me into the mansion."
The soldier once again cupped his fists and saluted, then turned over and jumped onto his horse.
After more than a hundred breaths.
The carriage that the old man of the Zhu family was riding in slowly passed through the crowd with two soldiers in half armor, amidst countless envious eyes.
After crossing the moat of Prince Yan's Mansion, enter Prince Yan's Mansion through the main entrance.
They were also invited to the palace to watch the ceremony.
Zhu Huaimin was treated very well.
Before him, only three people had received such generous treatment.
One of them is Sun Daohua, the governor of Shanggu County.
The second one is Pang Wenze, the governor of Yuyang County.
The third one is Qu Ruian, the contemporary head of the Qu family, the first aristocratic family in Yuyang County. ….
Of course, everyone is just envious.
Nothing else.
As the former head of the Zhu family, the first aristocratic family in Shanggu County, Zhu Huaimin naturally has this qualification.
As for the other heads of aristocratic families, large and small, who were invited to watch the ceremony.
He had no choice but to be led by soldiers at his own time, and finally entered the palace through the side door of Prince Yan's palace.
...
...
Chen hour and five quarters.
Inside the Zhu family's luxurious carriage.
Zhu Zongting slowly put down the car curtain he raised in his hand.
Then he looked at Zhu Wanning, who was sitting upright in front of him.
Calmly: "Let's go."
"Okay." Zhu Wanning lowered her head slightly and then slowly stood up from the carriage.
at the same time.
People emerged from dozens of carriages located in front of the carriage the two brothers and sisters were riding in.
After Zhu Wanning stood firm outside the luxury carriage, she couldn't help but look forward.
It is precisely this hope.
He unexpectedly saw an unusually familiar figure in front of him.
"She's here too."
The corners of Zhu Wanning's mouth under her white gauze raised slightly, and she murmured in a low voice.
The woman he was talking about was no one else, but her best friend in the boudoir.
Sanskrit Wenqian is the legitimate daughter of the head of the Fan family, the second largest family in Shanggu County.
Zhu Wanning calmed down for a moment, and then she and everyone in the Zhu family slowly walked toward the moat outside the palace.
Fang Yi approached the palace moat.
Zhu Wanning's beautiful eyebrows glanced at her in an incomprehensible manner.
Nothing else.
Beside the moat, besides her boudoir friend San Wenqian, there were more than ten young women whose faces were covered with white gauze.
Zhu Zongting's eyes were casual and he glanced past the group of young women.
Then he frowned slightly and glanced at Zhu Wanning's face from the corner of his eye.
After seeing that Zhu Wanning's face remained as usual and her image and temperament were not damaged.
Zhu Zongting just breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, his heart was filled with helplessness.
Obviously, there are not a few aristocratic families who have the same idea this time.
...
...
Upon hearing this, Zhu Huaimin stood up slowly and chuckled.
"Mr. Zhu's words are serious. Please mount your horse immediately and follow me into the mansion."
The soldier once again cupped his fists and saluted, then turned over and jumped onto his horse.
