"Sister Shuang, your news is... I'm not doubting the authenticity of the news, nor am I trying to find out anything... It's just that I'm too scared!"
Mrs. Chang herself knew that during this period, she had thought countless times that she might as well just submit to her husband.
Sister Chan herself has a weak mind, and the previously agreed marriage has been cancelled. She is not young anymore. Since her husband keeps saying that the Xie family is good, Sister Chan will be safe in her life. Her husband is always Sister Chan’s biological child. Father, he probably wouldn't harm his daughter.
She convinced herself countless times that this would be it.
She knew in her heart that if Geng Xingshuang hadn't told her about the Xie family today, she would have relaxed when her husband came back from the south this time.
Therefore, after hearing the true situation of the Xie family, she felt extremely scared.
Madam Shu Chang held Geng Xingshuang's hand, her eyes a little red, "Sister Chan is lucky to have friends like you!"
Geng Xingshuang looked at Shu Chan, who was talking to Shu Xian not far away, with an innocent look. Then she looked at Mrs. Shu and said seriously: "Aunt Shu, if you need it again in the future, just send someone to find me. Do my best."
"Me too!" Geng Xingyu continued.
Mrs. Chang nodded, and said solemnly like a promise: "Okay! Don't worry, I won't marry Sister Chan to the Xie family."
After talking to Mrs. Shu, Geng Xingshuang finally let go of her worries.
Together with Geng Xingyu, the two went to Yang Fu's yard. Geng Xingshuang gave him an autumn dress, and Geng Xingyu gave him two handkerchiefs and two purses as gifts.
Although the autumn clothes given by Geng Xingshuang are currently sold by Mingshang Pavilion, she has embroidered several red roses at random on the neckline and cuffs. The edges of the petals are outlined with gold thread, which is dazzling and sparkling, showing a The feeling of warmth, reunion and wealth is very suitable for Yang Fu's status as a newlywed.
"It's so beautiful!" someone praised.
"This is different from what Mingshang Pavilion sells." Someone said in surprise.
"Of course it's different. This is specially designed for me by Sister Shuang. It's unique." Yang Fu said happily with a little pride.
Then he said to Geng Xingshuang: "Thank you very much, Sister Shuang. I will wear this when I come home from three dynasties."
Then he asked the dowry maid behind him to carefully collect the clothes, praised the handkerchief and purse given by Geng Xingyu, and put them in the box together with the clothes.
The most lively part of the wedding was the luncheon. Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingyu sat at the same table with a group of girls about their age, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Soon after the luncheon, it was an auspicious time. The Zhang family's wedding team arrived, and Yang Fu got married in a lively manner.
"I heard that Sister Yang will go to the palace tomorrow to pay homage to Empress Zhang Bin."
When leaving, Geng Xingshuang heard someone say enviously.
Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingyu had never entered the palace. On the way back, Geng Xingyu said: "I heard from Sister Xiaoyu that the atmosphere in the palace was very serious and silent. When she suddenly entered the palace that time, she was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out. They He even thinks about entering the palace."
Geng Xingshuang smiled, "One is like arsenic and another is like honey, do you know? What we avoid may be what others want, and everyone has different ideas."
"Sixth sister, what you are saying now is very...very...reasonable!"
Geng Xingyu thought for a long time and finally came up with a word.
Geng Xingshuang raised her chin slightly, "That's natural. The book says that after three days of separation, we should look at each other with new eyes. Although we are not different, people will never remain the same. I have just become more calm and sophisticated!"
Geng Xingyu was stunned for a moment, "Sixth sister, if you say this, I don't think you have changed much."
Just as Geng Xingshuang was about to glare at her, she heard a chuckle from outside the carriage.
The laugh sounded familiar.
Geng Xingshuang didn't have time to think about it, so she turned sideways and opened the curtains of the carriage, only to see Yang Qingmo riding a horse to protect her beside the carriage. Seeing her open the curtains, he turned to look at her.
"You... don't have to entertain guests?" Geng Xingshuang was actually happy that he was here to send her back, but she still asked duplicitously.
"The Yang family has no shortage of people to entertain guests." Yang Qingmo said, looking at her deeply, and suddenly said: "The two red, lucky, green and happy ones have been used to being outdoors recently, and they often stay away from home, but last night I I have called them back, Luxi is more sensible and will stay with you, Hongfu follows me, and he doesn’t dare to make too much noise."
Geng Xingshuang was confused for a moment. He didn’t know why he mentioned Hongfu and Luxi at this time. He wanted to say that both of them were in Ningdu City now. Hongfu and Luxi were originally very intelligent swans, and they always mentioned them. Don't say that they can't stay in the house, and you feel sorry for them when you look at them. Don't lock up two good spiritual birds and turn them into stupid birds.
But the words rolled around in her throat a few times, and when she raised her eyes and saw Yang Qingmo's eyes, she swallowed them again.
He is not someone who has nothing to talk about. Although it has been a year since he came back, there are not many opportunities for the two of them to meet each other. Therefore, when they are together, they will not talk about red happiness and green happiness just because there is no topic.
When he was in Pingcheng, Hong Fu and Lu Xi had always been the messengers for the two of them, but now they were suddenly separated, one for him and one for her. Was this... another long trip?
Geng Xingshuang's eyes seemed to be able to speak. Yang Qingmo looked at her with gentle eyes with a touch of reluctance. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Didn't you say that there are no good reading books recently? Maybe after a while, There’s time.”
Are you really going on a long trip?
Is it a foreigner? It's just that I only stayed in the Hanlin Academy for less than half a year. Don't they usually stay for three years?
Yang Qingmo noticed her doubts, but it was just that the matter hadn't been revealed yet, so he couldn't tell her. He just said: "Don't worry, you should know it won't take long..."
"Master, someone is coming to the palace. Please enter the palace immediately!"
Before he finished speaking, Dexing's breathless voice came over, obviously running over from the Yang Mansion in a hurry.
Geng Xingshuang was slightly shocked. Although it was not Xiu Mu today, there was a happy event in the Yang family. Yang Qingmo must have asked for leave, but now he was summoned to the palace in a hurry. Something must have happened.
"It's okay. It should be what I just said. After leaving the palace, let Hongfu go to the uncle's house."
Geng Xingshuang nodded, "Go quickly!"
Geng Xingshuang heard him confess to Zhan Pei, then turned his horse's head and walked back. The father-in-law summoned from the palace was still in the Yang Mansion.
"Sixth sister?"
Geng Xingyu called out worriedly.
Geng Xingshuang shook his head at her, "Let's wait for the news."
Although Yang Qingmo said it lightly, Geng Xingshuang felt in her heart that something big must have happened.
Moreover, Yang Qingmo had learned about this major matter before, but neither the court nor Emperor Shengning kept it secret. Now it seems that the matter must be resolved, and it is very urgent.
What could that be?
Although Geng Xingshuang felt a little confused, a guess came to mind.
When they arrived at the uncle's house, Mrs. Ruan and Mrs. Jiang sat in the first carriage. They asked about Yang Qingmo's arrival and sudden departure. Geng Xingshuang told them the matter and learned that Yang Qingmo had been summoned urgently. Entering the palace, Mrs. Ruan was a little worried.
"I'll have someone go to Yang Mansion to ask Sister Feng Wei!"
"Mom, don't be anxious. Aunt Fengwei may not know what's going on yet. We sent people to ask in such a hurry. Not only can we not ask anything, but it makes her even more anxious."
Geng Xingshuang hurriedly advised.
After hearing this, Ruan had no choice but to give up temporarily.
On the happy day, people came to the palace, but they were not there to give rewards. Moreover, the father and son of the second brother-in-law were summoned to the palace. Everyone in the Yang family had their own thoughts at the moment.
It was not only Yang Qingmo who entered the palace, but also his father, Yang Shaojing, the right deputy governor of the Inspectorate.
