Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 593 The Full Moon Feast, Pei Yan Returns Suddenly (2)
Ever since Shi Yong's identity was revealed, he has settled down in Shangjing. Hai Lanzhu learned from the women in Daning and is happy to take care of her husband and raise her children at home.

It's just that Shi Yi is old after all, and this time he took a long vacation to visit his son in Shangjing. Knowing that his son has nothing to do in politics, his heart has faded. Danyang lives a leisurely life.

Shi Yong and his wife were reluctant to let them leave, and they also made up their minds to buy a house in Shangjing City, so that the two elders could live there for a long time.

But this idea was rejected by Shi Yi. The fallen leaves return to their roots. Now that he knows that his son is safe and his grandson is healthy, he still wants to return to his hometown. At least he will sleep in his hometown at the moment of leaving.

Ji Minghui couldn't say anything about her husband, so she agreed with her son to visit them in Shangjing as soon as she was free, so she gave up.

And Shi Rou couldn't stand the urging of her husband's family, and left Shangjing at the end of September. Now that autumn is in full swing, she should be home by the time she counts.

When Ji Chonglian had nothing to do, she and a few maids were making clothes for the children to wear in winter. Sister Zheng could make do with Sister Shuang's old clothes, but Brother Yuan couldn't. I rushed to make a few more sets of boys' clothes, and made two suits for Brother Yu along the way.

Sister Zheng and Brother Yuan are almost two years old. Brother Yuan is still active on weekdays, and loves to follow Sister Shuang and Shi Hao to make trouble. Meng Sha has changed his name to Shi Hao now, and it takes time to get used to this name.

Sister Zheng loves to accompany Ji Chonglian, quietly watching her mother doing needlework, or listening to her read a poem or tell a story, the little girl listens with great interest.

Even Princess Minfu couldn't stop praising her, "Look at Sister Zheng's appearance, it seems that our family is going to have a talented girl!"

Sister Zheng blinked her innocent eyes and looked at Princess Minfu, "Auntie, what is a talented girl?"

"It's just a talented girl," Princess Minfu smiled and touched Sister Zheng's little head, "A cute child like Sister Zheng, who is quiet and studious, smarter than others!"

Sister Zheng pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were bent into the shape of crescent moons, Yuxue looked cute, Princess Minfu couldn't help holding her in her arms and kissed her, and sighed: "When can I have a baby?" A child as cute as Sister Zheng?!"

Ji Chonglian smiled and shook her head, "You are still young, why are you in a hurry? The next few days are enough for you to give birth slowly, as many as you want!"

"That's true!"

Princess Minfu chuckled, "Having more children means more blessings. My husband and I have also discussed that we should have at least three children, and at most five. If there are too many children, it will make a fuss. If everyone is like Brother Yuan and Sister Shuang That way, the house will be very lively."

Several people were talking happily, Huanzi lifted the curtain and entered the room, and handed a letter to Ji Chonglian with a smile, "Madam, it's a letter from Gansu."

"Oh?"

Ji Chonglian accepted the letter with some surprise. She seemed to have received a letter from Pei Yan this month. Two letters a month was something that never happened in the past. Could it be that something happened?
Ji Chonglian opened the letter to read, while Princess Minfu quietly held Sister Zheng in her arms, and whispered: "Your father wrote again, he must be missing you!"

After reading the letter at a glance, Ji Chonglian raised her head in surprise, "Sister Zheng, your father is coming back!"

"Huh?" Princess Minfu was startled, "Isn't my brother-in-law going to return to Beijing to report on his duties next year? Why is it a year earlier?"

"I don't know what's going on, he didn't elaborate in the letter," Ji Chonglian shook her head, still unable to stop the excitement in her heart, "It's been two years, and he's finally coming back..." At the end of the talk, his eyes were full. It's slightly red.

Sister Zheng blinked in confusion, then carefully tugged on Princess Minfu's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, why did Mommy cry when Dad came back? Did you not like him coming back?"

Sister Zheng didn't have any special concept of her father, she was only limited to the characters in her mother's picture album, and she didn't have any other feelings.

Princess Minfu hurriedly shook her head, "Your mother is so happy that she wants to cry, she really wants your father to come back and be with you every day!"

Sister Zheng shook her head in perplexity, but she still couldn't figure it out.

"According to the date, it should be here next month," Ji Chonglian said as he slipped his shoes on the bed, and then gave Liuli and Huanzi instructions, "Don't leave behind anything you should prepare, and this time you will come back with Ayan There is a team of personal guards who cleaned up the side courtyard in the east corner and gave them temporary accommodation. There are also more bedding, clothes, and silver frost charcoal to keep out the cold in winter. Remember to remind me of the ones I missed. I!"

Liuli and Huanzi looked at each other, and they both covered their mouths and smiled, "Ma'am, if you care about it, you will be confused. We have prepared these things in our warehouse. Even if your lord brings people home immediately, these things will not be short. I will look back. Go clean up again, wait for the weather to get better and take out those quilts to dry in the sun!"

Ji Chonglian smiled and nodded, "Okay, you guys go to work first!"

At the end of November, before the snow fell, Pei Yan and his entourage had already arrived in Shangjing. The clatter of horseshoes knocked on the stone road in the early morning. A group of cavalry rushed into the west city like the wind, and they fell off their horses when they arrived at Fangshikou .

The people living in Xicheng are either rich or noble, noise is not allowed here, Pei Yan handed the horse rope to the guards behind him, and walked quickly to the General's Mansion.

The mist in the morning was like fireworks, and it was difficult to discern. Before the gate of the General’s Mansion was opened, he had already knocked on the copper knocker. When he saw the person in front of him, he immediately called inward in surprise, "My lord has returned home!"

Pei Yan smiled, and strode in, "There are my personal guards behind me, I'll let Manager Zhu settle down later."

The concierge responded repeatedly with congratulations.

Searching for the familiar road, he rushed away, and the servants and maids who got up early to clean the courtyard along the road retreated one after another. All the way to the upper room, the lanterns under the porch of the main house were still flickering with faint light, and the whole courtyard was silent.

Liuli was carrying a basin of water and stepping out of the door. When she saw the person coming, she couldn't help but startled. Just as she was about to report to the inside, Pei Yan shook her head and said, "Where are the children? Madam is still asleep?"

"Sister and brother are sleeping in the wing room now, Madam hasn't woken up yet!"

Liuli saluted Pei Yan with a smile, "Your Excellency, you need to freshen up, and the servant girl will go to the kitchen and bring breakfast!"

"No hurry," Pei Yan looked down at himself, the frost mist on his soft armor had already turned into water droplets all the way, and even the strands of his hair were chilly, "I'll go and wash myself, after breakfast for an hour Bring it up!"

Liuli nodded with a smile, looked in again, and then retreated with the water in her hand.
