Di Daughter's Interpretation

Chapter 8

The official road is easy to walk, the road is smooth, and there is a bearded man who is responsible for taking care of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The bearded bandit turned into a handsome young man. It took Xie Yu a few days to get used to it. He stopped calling him "bearded man" and called him "Wuji" politely. Zhang Yujun blushed slightly, " If you call me Wuji, I'll call you Jieyu." It stands to reason that her daughter's family name cannot be called casually, but she calls herself "Wuji".

Xie Yu nodded indifferently, and called it Bai, "Miss An" or "Jie Yu", it's up to you.Seeing her nodding her head, Zhang Yu was very happy in his heart, but after all he didn't call her "Jie Yu", only "Hey", "Hey" and "You".

The noisy city gate is in sight.Before Xie Yu and his party reached the gate of the city, they were greeted by an old man and a young man, "Young master, you are back. I have been waiting here for two days and two nights under the orders of Lord Marquis." The old steward, with a clever boy, knelt in front of the carriage and kowtowed to salute. Both of them were busy with travel and dust, obviously they had waited for a long time.

There was a hint of impatience on Zhang Yu's face, "Uncle He, please get up, is the house ready?" Uncle He hurriedly said, "It's all cleaned up! It's clean, and all the servants are ready." Knowing this The young master has a bad temper and dare not say a single unnecessary word.

Zhang Yu nodded in satisfaction, and ordered "Go to Dangyang Road." He Bo repeatedly agreed, took the young man on his horse, and followed Zhang Yu's carriage to Dangyang Road.

Zhang Yu coughed, didn't look at the explanation, and said to himself, "Dangyang Dao's house, I lived there with my mother since I was a child, but I haven't been back for more than ten years, and I don't know if I can live there, so I have to I wrote to him and told him to pack it up for me."

This "he" refers to the Marquis of Jingning?Xie Yu smiled, this guy is really an awkward child, he should be angry with his own father.There are only a few real relatives in this world, and when something really happens, there are only a few you can rely on.

The Jingninghou Mansion has a good reputation among the many houfus in central Beijing. The family style is very upright. Strategy, now the governor of the left army and the governor of the right, leads the commanders of Shandong, Liaodong, and Zhejiang. He is a figure with real power and should not be underestimated.

"He treats you very well." Xie Yu said slowly.The son refused to go home, and even changed his surname, and the father was still infatuated. Zhang Yu wrote a letter back, and immediately the house was tidied up, the household items and servants were prepared, and people were picked up at the gate of the city early. If such a father says he doesn't love children, no one will believe it.

"It's okay," Zhang Yu nodded reluctantly. When he was a child, he was really kind to himself. "He has a better temper in the past few years, and he doesn't get angry easily. He will let me mess around. By the way, I will write to you." And told him, I want to go to Jinyiwei instead."

The opinion language looked back at him in surprise, and Zhang Yu said in a low voice embarrassedly, "I used to be a name in Tengxiang Zuowei, but I didn't go there. I fished for three days and posted nets for two days. Tengxiang Zuowei It's boring, I want to change to Jinyiwei." Whether Tengxiang Zuowei or Jinyiwei, they all belong to the Shangzhiwei of Jingweizhong, and most of Weizhong are the children of Xunqi family.

Dare to feel that "an official is both a bandit and a bandit is an official", this guy is really both an official and a bandit!Xie Yu stared at him for a while, then stared him down in despair. "Master, we're here." Uncle He graciously lifted the curtain of the car, asked Zhang Yu to get out of the car, and looked at the elegant house in front of him. There were two rows of maids and maids in red and green, and two rows of green clothes standing respectfully at the entrance of the house. The servant of Soap Boots has a lot of style.

Xie Yu grabbed Zhang Yu and whispered in his ear, "You even changed your surname, and he still treats you like this?" It was so weird.This is an era when a gentleman is more important than everything else, so there are parents who dote on their children so much?
Zhang Yu blushed and didn't dare to move, and replied in a low voice, "The ancestor of our family was originally surnamed Zhang. His family was poor, and he sold it to the Yue family as a foster son. The Yue family had no son, so he treated him like his own son. Later, the ancestor followed Taizu The emperor conquered the world and became a marquis. He was grateful for the kindness of the Yue family and did not change his surname. When I said that I wanted to be surnamed Zhang, he was so happy."

In fact, he was angry with his father at the beginning, so that he didn't want to follow his father's surname Yue, "Zhang Wang Li Zhao everywhere Liu", he casually said that he wanted to be surnamed Zhang, but Jing Ninghou was so moved that he almost burst into tears. , I felt that my son really did not forget his roots, and knew that he wanted to change back to his ancestor's surname.From now on, I will treat my son better.

Uncle He lifted the curtain in embarrassment, it was not good to put it down, and it was not good to open it again, so he had to stop there motionless, as if he didn't know anything about the movement in the car.Beads of sweat rolled down He Bo's face gradually, but he remained motionless.Alas, fortunately, none of the servants can see the situation in this carriage.

Xie Yu suddenly realized that he glanced at Zhang Yu, it turned out to be the case, no wonder Jing Ninghou was not angry when he met a son who wanted to change his surname.It was hot, and Zhang Xi was sweating slightly on his forehead. He asked in a low voice, "I went to Jinyiwei, trying to find a way to rescue Uncle An. Hey, you say, when Uncle is released from prison, I will visit his old man's house, and he will won't you like me?"

"Probably not," Xie Yu said honestly, "He's very rigid." An Zan has always only liked scholars, so he probably wouldn't like someone like Zhang Yu.Zhang Yu rubbed his hands together, and said hesitantly, "How about I return to Jingninghou's Mansion?" Since An Zan is very old-fashioned, he must not be able to accept a man without a family.

"Then why bother?" Xie Yu shook his head.No matter how good the Jingninghou Mansion is, no matter how good the Jingninghou is, it is not suitable for Zhang Yu.Zhang Yu is a bit of a chivalrous man. Let him go to Jingning Hou Mansion to be a docile bastard, it will ruin him, "Whether you admit it or not, he will love you, right? But If you admit it back, you will have your grandmother, aunt, and elder brother on your head, one after another who wants you to obey." These people are not like Marquis Jingning, who love Zhang Yu in every possible way.

Dad will always be dad, and if you don't recognize the relationship between father and son, you can't break it, so why go back and be restrained.There are many descendants in Jingninghou's mansion, Zhang Yu is really not bad.

Zhang Yu gave a soft "um" and stared at Xie Yu stupidly, neither speaking nor moving.Xie Yu pushed him, "Go on, what are you doing sitting in the carriage." Zhang Yufang reluctantly got off the carriage.

The maids and servants standing with bowed heads knelt down together, "Welcome young master back to the mansion!" Zhang Yu glanced at these people lying on the ground, turned around and helped Xie Yu get off the carriage, and the two walked into the mansion side by side.Uncle He ordered from behind, "Everyone, get up, get up. Serve well, don't be careless! If anyone offends the young master, be careful with your skin!" While telling everyone what to do, he sent people away Jingning Hou office reported.

On the same day, people from the Jingning Hou Mansion sent Jinyiwei clothes. The visitor looked at Zhang Yu's face and smiled, "Master Hou ordered the young master to go to Jinyiwei to work. Master Hou also ordered the young master to be free. Go to Lingyun Pavilion to drink tea with Lord Hou."

Zhang Yu nodded indifferently, and after the visitor finished delivering the message, he stepped back a few steps and left the hall door, heaving a sigh of relief.Uncle He sent him out all the way, and he patted Uncle He on the shoulder with a smile on his face, "Old He, if you manage this errand well, Lord Hou will definitely reward you a lot." Uncle He sent him away with a smile.

After Zhang Yu arranged Xieyu, he went to Jinyiwei that day, and went to Zhao Prison to see An Zan.He took out the yellow and white things casually, and arranged for the subordinates and others. Seeing that he had done so generously, all the people in Jinyiwei beamed with joy, "It's not a big deal! This An Zan has been here for a month, and he didn't say anything. Let him take care of him." Alright, otherwise I'm really dead, where can I ask for a confession?" Anyway, Ma Heng has been busy with other cases recently, and seems to have forgotten about An Zan, and everyone was happy to make a favor and let An Zan be recuperated by the doctor.

Xie Yu knew that An Zan's life was not in danger, so he felt relieved.It's just that Zhang Yu couldn't find out why An Zan was imprisoned, he only vaguely heard that he seemed to have offended Yang Shoufu, and seemed to be involved in the secrets of water transportation.

"Your body is already delicate, and the journey is very tiring. Let's rest for a few days. Let's inquire about uncle's affairs slowly. We should also inquire slowly about auntie and younger brother's affairs." Zhang Yu's words, Xie Yu It sounds reasonable, I need to recuperate for a few days, my waist is sore and my back hurts, and my whole body seems to be falling apart. Fortunately, my father is temporarily safe in prison.

Lu'an Marquis Mansion.

Fu Shen and his concubine, Aunt Quan, lingered all night, and left contentedly the next day.Aunt Quan was also very satisfied: she relieved her own daughter, the third girl from Lu'an Marquis Mansion, by asking for the most fashionable jewelry and clothes in the capital, and asking for invitations for the flower viewing party in the British government.

Jieyou is 14 years old, she was born beautiful and smart, but unfortunately, because of her status as a concubine, she is always locked in the inner house of the Marquis of Lu'an, and rarely goes out to meet people. "Raised in a deep boudoir without anyone knowing", this is not acceptable!If Jieyou didn't go out to meet guests, who would know that there is such a talented and beautiful third girl in the Marquis of Lu'an?Wouldn't her life be delayed?
Dressed in a green dress, the lively and lovely Jieyou girl came in with an apricot flower in her hand, and shouted happily, "Look! How beautiful this flower is!" She looked like a young man who didn't care about anything.

Aunt Quan gave her daughter a loving look.This child, she is too smooth, and doesn't know the sufferings of the world.Aunt Quan was also one of the beauties that Fu Shen took care of when he was in the Xuanfu. She was both beautiful and scheming. After giving birth to a daughter, she excused the child's weakness and refused to send it away. Every day, she dragged Fu Shen to look at the child. Sure enough, after a long time, Fu Shen developed feelings for Jieyou, and he generously promised, "When you go back to the capital, you can keep it by your side, and I can see my daughter from time to time."

The Marquis of Lu'an has strict rules, and there is no example of a concubine raising a child himself.All concubines and servants who give birth to children must be taken back to the capital and raised by Mrs. Hou.Fortunately, Jieyou was a girl. It happened that the second girl who was also born in a concubine died in Beijing. Fu Shen had many sons but few daughters, so he was furious when he heard the news, "So careless!" Dare to mention that he must send the third girl back.Therefore, the lucky girl Jieyou was able to grow up beside her parents.

Just returning to Beijing, everything is different.Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Lu, is a tiger girl who doesn't rub the sand in her eyes. Concubines, aunts, concubines and concubines want to make troubles in front of her, but there is no way.Fu Shen is a careless person, so don't expect him to be meticulous and thoughtful enough to take care of the inner house. In this Marquis of Lu'an Mansion, if the mother and daughter want to live well, they all have to rely on their own planning bit by bit.Aunt Quan listened to Jieyou muttering about trivial matters, her brows and eyes were full of tenderness.

"It's time to greet Madam again." Jieyou pouted and said.She didn't want to go, she was afraid of Madam Hou with a serious face, and she was also afraid of Madam Hou's dignified and beautiful elder sister, Fu Jieyi.In front of Fu Jieyi, Jieyou always feels inferior.

Aunt Quan smiled and said, "Go, don't be afraid." What are you afraid of, silly boy, Mrs. Hou is only serious, but she dare not do anything.In this mansion, there is Mrs. Tai and Master Hou, and it's not up to her to do whatever she wants.

Jie You dawdled to Mrs. Hou's place, paid her respects according to the rules, sat down for a while, and left in a hurry.Fu Jieyi watched her retreat coldly, feeling a little dissatisfied, "Father spoils their mother and daughter too much, look, this clothes are almost catching up with me."

Mrs. Lu said slowly, "She wants to go to the British residence with you. There are so many wives and ladies here. If they don't dress well, we will lose face in our residence. Let her do it." Fu Jieyi walked behind Mrs. Lu and beat her back for her , "Mother is so generous and thoughtful."

A trace of cruelty flashed across Mrs. Lu's face.What kind of aunt, concubine, is not worth mentioning at all, the woman raised by Master Hou in Zhiyuan is the serious worry.A woman who elopes with her husband has the face to come back!

Mrs. Lu thought about it, feeling extremely angry.Your Fu family is the founding fathers of the country, extremely wealthy, and my Lu family is not bad. It is evenly matched with your Fu family!If you get the person in front of you back for no reason, where will you put me!Have you put me in your eyes!
Master Hou can't be allowed to mess around.Mrs. Lu closed her eyes and enjoyed her daughter's service. Such a well-behaved and sensible understanding meant that she would always be the eldest lady in this mansion, the only first-born eldest lady.
