After Yun Zixiang came back from the palace, he also wrote a letter home in advance, telling his mother what happened in Beijing, and that the emperor had sent his trusted aide to the Yun family to secretly transport property.
Princess Xuanzhao was worried about Yun Zixiang's safety, so she asked Lin Jinnian to escort her to Huzhou, and the two of them embarked on the journey back to Huzhou...
With Lin Jinnian's presence along the way, the entry and exit points were smooth and the journey was extremely fast. We arrived in Huzhou in less than three days.
Huzhou is a land of plenty. Lin Jin had already heard about it when he came to the new year. Only when he came there in person did he feel that the rumors were spread to the younger generation. This is simply a paradise. No wonder my uncle and aunt have been living in Huzhou.
The people of Huzhou also heard that the Yun family had been promoted and were moving to Beijing.
Yunfu
All the Jinyi guards had retreated. When Yun Zixiang returned home, he saw many people coming to visit, but they were all stopped by the servants at the door. "He declined because the head of the Yun family had not returned home, so he asked them to come back another day." But there were still people there. Deliver gifts to your door
Yun Zixiang saw that the main entrance was crowded, so he took Lin Jinnian to enter through the side door. He was a little embarrassed. After all, it was extremely disrespectful to let guests go through the side door.
Yun Zixiang: "Cousin! I'm really sorry."
Lin Jinnian waved his hand "no problem", showing that he didn't care at all.
At this time, Mrs. Yun and Chu Qian were drinking tea in the main hall. Mrs. Yun burst out laughing and praised Chu Qian as a person who could please people.
When Yun Zixiang first entered, he heard his mother's laughter. When he saw the people next to him, he knew that the confidant sent by the emperor was Chu Qian.
Mrs. Yun and Chu Qian also noticed them. Mrs. Yun hurried over, took Yun Zixiang's hand, and looked at her body for fear of any injuries.
Lin Jinnian also noticed Chu Qian walking by. He knew him. Then he nodded and said, "I've seen Mr. Chu! Why is Mr. Chu here?"
After expressing politeness, he asked about his doubts.
"I'm just here to do business in Huzhou!"
Chu Qian said coquettishly, but his eyes were on Yun Zixiang.
Mrs. Yun knew what Chu Qian was doing here, and was afraid that Lin Jinnian would ask more questions, so she immediately spoke.
"This must be Jinnian! Now that he has grown up, he does have the temperament of your father when he was young." Mrs. Yun looked at Lin Jinnian with satisfaction.
Lin Jinnian also greeted Mrs. Yun as an elder: "Jinnian has met my aunt!"
"Thank you for your hard work along the way. The food is ready. Come in and sit down!"
Mrs. Yun greeted, and then walked to the side hall.
Lin Jinnian also followed
"Miss Yun! We meet again, do you think we are destined?" Chu Qian came closer and teased.
Yun Zixiang rolled her eyes at him inwardly, but had to keep smiling and replied jokingly: "Did Mr. Chu come to my house to propose marriage? Why do you have the nerve to come empty-handed?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for his answer, he went in on his own, leaving Chu Qian at a loss. Then he curled his lips and said, "It's not impossible."
"Qian! Come in quickly!" When Mrs. Yun saw the two talking, she didn't bother her. When she saw her daughter leaving the guest alone outside, she greeted him warmly.
"Yes, Auntie"
Yun Zixiang was suspicious: "How come these two people are so familiar?"
Huzhou’s cuisine suited Yun Zixiang’s appetite, and it was the most filling meal in the past few days.
But Lin Jinnian seemed to be in trouble. He had always had a light diet in the capital, and the spicy food made him drink several cups of tea. Mrs. Yun also noticed something was wrong. She clearly ordered the kitchen to put less food, but she still let Jinnian So spicy.
Mrs. Yun greeted quickly and asked someone to fry some light ones. Lin Jinnian was afraid of trouble and waved her hands and said no, her face turned red from the spicy food. Then she simply didn't touch it because it was so spicy and just drank the lotus root soup.
On the other hand, Chu Qi'an seemed to be fine. Mrs. Yun looked surprised and asked, "Can Qi'an eat spicy food?"
"My mother is from Jiangnan, and I have been eating with her since I was a child." Chu Qian replied.
"Let me tell you, the taste is the same as Xiang'er." Mrs. Yun joked and glanced at Yun Zixiang.
Yun Zixiang was thinking at this time, Chu Qian's mother? As far as I know, there is only one wife in the Nan'an Prince's Palace now. Prince Nan'an died a few years ago while fighting against the rebels.
The Princess of Nan'an also died in love soon after, but now the wife of the Nan'an Palace is the Queen Mother's niece Su Qing. She was forced into the palace by the Queen Mother. After the Nan'an Palace lost its mistress, the emperor asked the emperor to let Su Qing take charge of the palace.
As a young child, even though Chu Qian was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do about it.
Seeing that Yun Zixiang was lost in thought, Mrs. Yun reminded her: "Xiang'er! What are you thinking about?"
Yun Zixiang reacted: "Huh?"
"I'll ask you to take Qi'an to see his room, and I'll take Jinnian to reminisce about old times."
"Okay, that's not right, why am I taking him?" Yun Zixiang realized after saying yes.
"Let's go, Miss Yun, thank you for your work!" After saying that, Chu Qian stood up and took Yun Zixiang's arm and left.
Yun Zixiang took him to the courtyard to the south of Yun Mansion, which was cleaned by his mother and was separated from his own courtyard by a wall.
"I don't think I've ever seen a lotus pond in the house. Where does this increasingly strong lotus fragrance come from?"
As Chu Qian walked, he could smell the reassuring fragrance of lotus flowers. In the hot weather, he felt very relaxed and happy.
"There is only one in my yard in the house. Why, Mr. Chu wants to take a look?"
Yun Zixiang tentatively said, he knew Chu Qian would refuse, after all, who would enter the woman's yard.
Unexpectedly, she miscalculated, and he just said: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Then he looked for that place with a strong fragrance...
Yun Zixiang was stunned for a moment, thinking why he didn't dare to play tricks, and then followed him.
The plaque above reads Lianhuaju, which is Yun Zixiang's courtyard.
Zhihe in the courtyard heard the noise and thought it was his lady who had returned, so he went to greet her. However, what he saw vaguely was the figure of a man, but he could not see his appearance clearly because of the leaves.
Thinking to himself, he shouted loudly: "Where's the scoundrel from?" He rushed out, grabbed a broom, and rushed towards Chu Qian's position.
Ye Jin could see clearly from above. They were clearly Mr. Chu and Miss Chu. He didn't have time to remind Zhihe before he saw her rushing out. He hoped that with Miss Chu there, she would be fine.
Chu Qian saw a fiery figure running towards her, holding a broom in his hand. Fortunately, he turned sideways in time to avoid blowing the broom in his face.
"Cough...cough...Zhihe, it's me!" Yun Zixiang said out loud
Chu Qian glanced at her. I'm afraid it wasn't intentional. Fortunately, he hid quickly.
Only then did Zhihe realize that the person she almost hit was Master Chu. She was so frightened that she didn't even hold the broom. She quickly ran to Yun Zixiang and apologized quickly, fearing that Chu Qian would be blamed.
Seeing that Chu Qian didn't say anything, he went in by himself.
"Miss! Why didn't you say anything when you came?" Zhihe was still frightened.
"Aren't you less eager to protect the hospital?"
"Miss! How can you learn to make fun of people?"
Zhihe glanced in the direction of Chu Qian and saw that he had already walked in. He quickly followed him, fearing that he would enter the house.
Chu Qian also knew it, but he was just standing by the lotus pond
"Yes" Yun Zixiang thought to himself, it must be Chu Qiannas, who imitated him badly.
