Chapter 183 Gathering
Dong Ping jumped out of the car and saw his big belly sister at a glance. He immediately ran to him and knelt down on his knees, "Sister, brother Ping is here. You are in good health, but have you ever suffered..."

Dong Rong saw her younger brother who was half a head tall again, her nose was sore and she almost shed tears, she choked up and replied, "Okay, okay, sister is fine. Get up and show my sister, I haven't seen you for a few months, why is it dark?" Thin? But studying is too tiring, so don’t take the exam again, and the family doesn’t expect you to be an official to support your appearance, why bother to make yourself so tired?”

Xu Mao and the others just got out of the car and walked up to him. Hearing these words, he felt envious and jealous.They are also scholars, so how come Dong Ping has a good sister?My parents don't say that I have lost weight, I am afraid that my little life is so exhausted that they will not let them give up studying and taking scientific examinations.

Dong Rong also saw Xu Mao and the others at this moment, and felt that it was not a good time to catch up with her younger brother, so she greeted them with a smile, "You must be tired after sitting in the carriage for half a month, go in and have a rest. Lunch is ready If you are full, I will send you to another courtyard, and you can just live in your own home."

"Thank you, sister!" Xu Mao immediately smiled when he heard that there were good food and food, and thanked him, but was slapped hard by the crowd behind him, and taught him a lesson, "Why are you still called sister? Empress Dowager!"

Xu Mao scratched the back of his head aggrievedly, and shouted, "Didn't you call me sister all the time?"

Dong Rong was amused by these naughty boys, and replied, "You are friends of Brother Ping, so you are right to call me sister. Let's go, let's eat first."

Everyone thanked them and walked towards the door with a smile. Dong Ping turned around to look at the motorcade, suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed, "Oh, the second sister is still in the Yang family's carriage!"

It turned out that when everyone was on the road, Dong Ping felt that Cao Erjie, a girl, would not be able to ride with men like himself, so he asked Mrs. Yang to take care of her.

Yang Wanyin was about the same age as Second Sister Cao, and they both liked needlework. They got along very close along the way, and later they simply lived and ate together.Everyone arrived in Kyoto happily today, and when they parted at the gate of the city, they forgot that Second Sister Cao was still in the carriage of the Yang family.

"What, the second sister is here too?" Dong Rong was overjoyed and smiled, "It's okay, as long as no one is lost. I'll send someone to pick her up right now, you go to eat first."

Dong Rong was about to call for Zi Zhu to bring a carriage to pick her up, but Murong Huaide stepped forward to help her and said, "Don't worry, Zhang Yang has already gone to pick her up and will be back soon."

"Guard Zhang?" For some reason, Dong Rong always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't allow her to think about it, another carriage drove into the side door, and the little face protruding from the window was none other than Second Sister Cao.

Dong Rong couldn't help shouting happily, "Second sister, sister-in-law is here!"

After hearing the sound, Second Sister Cao searched around for a long time and finally saw her sister-in-law. She jumped out of the car and rushed over to hug her sister-in-law like a lost beast finally seeing her mother, and cried, "Wuuuu, sister-in-law, they don't know what to do." You want me again, throw me on the Yang family carriage..."

"Okay, okay, don't cry! My sister-in-law will scold brother Ping to vent my anger on you in a while. Let's go in for dinner first. My sister-in-law has stewed braised pork, which happens to be your favorite."

Murong Huaide saw that the second sister Cao's wife's belly was deformed due to the crowding, so he hurried forward to persuade, "Don't cry, go in if you have something to say."

Second Sister Cao wiped away her tears, blushed and saluted her brother, and then walked in with her arms around her sister-in-law.

After a long journey, there's nothing like a hearty meal and a nice glass of wine to unwind.Seeing this, Dong Ping hurriedly called Yun Rui to drive a car to lead the way, and personally sent his friends to another hospital, and watched them settle down before returning to the palace.

Dong Rong also just pushed the tired Second Sister Cao to sleep in the West Wing, and now she was beating her sore back while asking Zizhu, "Did the noodles from the Yang family be delivered?"

"Send it early, Madam, don't worry."

"Tomorrow, remember to send a few more boxes of fresh snacks, and by the way, invite Mrs. Yang to visit the palace when she is free."

While the master and servant were talking, Murong Huaide walked in with Dong Ping, Zi Zhu hurriedly served tea and snacks again, and then retreated.

Dong Rong took his younger brother's hand carefully for a while, and finally asked about Xiapin.Dong Ping said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry, Mr. and his family are very satisfied. Mr. Lu mentioned occasionally that if my sister agrees, he would like... let us get married in the capital."

Speaking of his own marriage, Dong Ping couldn't help but blush, making both Dong Rong and Murong Huaide laugh.Dong Rong patted her younger brother on the shoulder and said with emotion, "It's a big deal for my elder brother Ping to marry a wife. How could my sister disagree. After a few days, Mrs. Yang will come, and I will discuss the details with her."

Dong Ping felt that his face was so hot that he could fry an egg, so he quickly changed the topic, "Sister, sister-in-law Liu and the others packed some fruits and preserved eggs and brought them with the car. They miss you very much. I look forward to your return soon."

Just as Dong Rong was about to speak, she didn't want the child in her stomach to kick her mischievously, so she said helplessly, "Why do you have to give birth to these two naughty boys before you can go back? It happened that your marriage was done a few years ago. After passing the big exam after the year, we will go back to our hometown together."

Murong Huaide also said with a smile, "Brother Ping won't be able to use the palace to get married. Tomorrow I will send someone to find a good house. Just treat it as a congratulatory gift from me and your sister."

Dong Rong was about to say yes with a smile, but Dong Ping refused first, "No, brother-in-law. The previous employment has already cost a lot, and adding another house will cost my sister and brother-in-law too much. Wanyin... um, She is a good woman, she said she is not afraid of living a hard life with me."

"Stupid boy." Dong Rong couldn't laugh or cry, and patted his younger brother's elm head to persuade him, "It's polite and virtuous to be willing to suffer with you, but how can you seriously wrong your wife as a man? Well, since you don't If you want a gift from your sister and brother-in-law, then use your own savings to buy a small yard. Originally, the Four Seasons Garden was hung under your name, and it was agreed to share your dividends a long time ago. I have been keeping the account books. This year I also saved nearly 1000 taels. And the auspicious fruit from earlier, you also made a big effort, and it is right to share your three thousand hard-working silver, which is 4000 taels."

After that, she looked at her husband again and asked, "Is the land expensive here in Kyoto? Maybe 1000 taels can buy you a nice small yard?"

Murong Huaide nodded, and replied, "It's enough, even in the quiet and beautiful places near the Jinshui Bridge in Beicheng, this money is enough to buy a small courtyard."

"Well, after a few days, we will discuss it with the Yang family, and then we will find a middle-aged man to find a good yard. The remaining 3000 taels will be enough for the young couple to live and live for a few years."

Dong Ping thanked his sister and brother-in-law for such thoughtful plans for him, and stood up to thank him with a big gift.Dong Rong felt sorry for her younger brother who had been working hard all the way, and didn't ask any more questions about his hometown, so he hurriedly went to the East Wing to rest, and the days would be long in the future.Besides, there is still the small talk of Second Sister Cao, maybe before she asks, this girl will tell her all about it.

Sure enough, in the early morning of the second day, Second Sister Cao, who was full of sleep, came to the main room to hug her sister-in-law and act like a baby. I haven't seen her for a long time. Even the yellow dog at the old Liu's family at the entrance of the village reported the birth of three puppies to his sister-in-law.

Dong Rong was in a good mood when she heard it, and even drank an extra bowl of jujube porridge for breakfast.He was so happy that Zizhu picked up a lot of snacks and fruits, and sent the sister-in-law and sister-in-law to the garden to enjoy the chrysanthemums, hoping that the second sister Cao could help the master who was too lazy to walk a few more steps.

Not to mention how much joy and laughter there was in the palace, only that the Yang family's old house was full of crying at the moment, and the young lady and the second young lady of the Yang family, who hadn't seen their parents for several years, drove back one after another early in the morning.The two knelt in front of their parents, weeping like tears, most of which was of longing, but also somewhat of grievance.

Although Mr. Yang also felt sorry for his daughter, but the married daughter was the water that was thrown out, and he really had nothing to do, so he gave his old wife a wink and went out with his hands behind his back.

Mrs. Yang moved to the living room with her three daughters. The four mothers sat on the soft couch and talked about various trivial matters of the years apart.Soon, Sister Yang remembered the last letter from home, so she frowned and asked her mother, "Mother, my sister is so smart and beautiful, how can she betrothed to a poor scholar? There are so many good men in the capital, why don't parents Bring my sister back to get married?"

The second sister Yang also echoed, "That's right, mother. My sister has been raised up since she was a child, how can she live a poor life in the future?"

Mrs. Yang reached out and tapped the foreheads of the two daughters, and said angrily, "I am your mother, how can you not feel sorry for your daughter? It is not easy to say in the letter, and I did not tell you in detail. Your sister's future husband-in-law He is your father's proud student, who just won the Juren, and now he has come to Beijing with us to prepare for the big exam next spring."

"Ah, it turns out that the future sister-in-law has already won the exam. Isn't Wanyin the wife of Juren, even... the wife of the champion?" The eldest sister Yang and the second sister happily pulled her sister, saying that she was very lucky, and Wanyin became red with shame. He covered his face and refused to look up.

Mrs. Yang continued to show off proudly, "Not only that, your sister-in-law is also the direct younger brother of Princess Zhongshan. The betrothal gift given a few days ago was prepared by Princess Dong herself. The betrothal gift is only 660 taels, and eight sets of jewelry of various colors. That's a decent one." Ah, the envious ladies of the Academy are all red-eyed."

Elder Sister Yang and Second Sister Yang were so shocked that they didn't speak for a long while, they looked at each other for the last time and asked their mother carefully, waiting to confirm that the future sister-in-law is indeed the younger brother of Princess Zhongshan, both of them looked a little unhappy.

Sister Yang's temper was straightforward, and she couldn't hide her words, so she said first, "Mother, let Daddy withdraw from this marriage. You don't live in the capital for a long time, and you don't know the recent excitement in the capital. The king and princess of Zhongshan are domineering and domineering. The reputation is already rotten, but any decent family is unwilling to associate with them. If you marry your sister, she will definitely be wronged in the future."
