After coming out of the palace, it was already drizzling in the sky. Although the rain was not heavy, it still made the capital city jubilant. Before the rain fell for several months, the rain became more precious. It was like the water of life, which made the dying trees and land reborn.

Yang Yuanqing returned to his new home in a drizzle. Yang Yuanqing's new home is located in Chongyefang. It is a large mansion covering an area of ​​20 acres. After the completion of the new capital, it has been vacant. Yesterday, Yang Guang rewarded him to Yang Yuanqing and officially became his home.

Last evening, Yang Yuanqing moved in with nine iron guards and slept for a night. He went to the palace to meet the saint early in the morning. He didn't have time to see what the house looked like.

Yang Yuanqing rode to the front of the mansion, but saw dozens of ox carts and horse carriages parked at his door, loaded with various household items. More than a hundred people were moving various items into the mansion in the rain, which made him and several iron guards stunned. Who sent it?

"Young Master!"

Yang Dalang, who stayed in the mansion, greeted him and said with a smile: "This is the delivery of Princess Leping. It's the second trip. The first trip is furniture. Everything is the best thing, and there are many valuables in it, which is really jaw-dropping."

He stepped forward and whispered to Yang Yuanqing: "There is a jasper screen, one meter long and seven feet tall. I quietly asked someone to go to the jade shop to inquire. The shopkeeper of the jade shop said that there was no such screen on the market, and it was a palace property. Even if you spend 100,000 yuan to hang it, you can't buy it."

Yang Yuanqing was moved. Yang Lihua treated him so carefully and regarded him as a relative. Although she was a princess, these items were not considered to be considered by her, but this kind of meticulous and thoughtful care could not be exchanged for any item.

At this time, a fat eunuch stepped forward and smiled and said, "General Yang, the princess asked me to bring you a message, so that you can go to her mansion today. She said there is something important to talk to you."

"Okay! I'll go now."

He turned around and ordered Yang Dalang, "Dalang, I'll go to the princess's mansion and I'll leave it to you."

"Don't worry, lord!"

Yang Yuanqing turned his horse's head and rushed to the princess's mansion with two iron guards.

Xiuwenfang where Yang Lihua's mansion is located is very close to Yang Yuanqing's new home. After a moment, Yang Yuanqing rushed to the princess's mansion.

A eunuch led him to Cuinong Pavilion where Yang Lihua usually lives. Yang Lihua had already gotten up early and was standing on the jade platform to feed birds. She was wearing a soft, snow-white silk skirt, her hair was lightly draped over her shoulders and black hair was fluttering in the wind and rain. Although she was over forty years old, her noble temperament and careful maintenance made her look still youthful, with her skin as jade, smooth and delicate. She stretched out a snow-white and slender arm, and her slender palms spread out. Several yellow orioles were fighting for the first time to peck at the grains on her palms.

At this time, several yellow orioles were suddenly frightened and flew away in a daze. Yang Lihua didn't look back and smiled faintly and asked, "Is it Yuan Qing here?"

Yang Yuanqing's laughter appeared in the room, "Why are they afraid of me and not the princess?"

Yang Lihua put the grains into a small plate on the terrace, patted her hands and smiled: "If you just feed them every day and persist for ten years, they will not be afraid."

"I may not be able to hold on for even three days."

Yang Lihua gently tied her hair up and said softly: "Are you going to see the emperor today?"

"I've gone, and the Lord gave me another task to go to the Western Regions."

Yang Lihua frowned slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, "Didn't I tell him to let you have two months off? Why are you going to the Western Regions again!"

Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, "The emperor originally planned to let General Xue Shixiong go, but General Xue Shixiong was sent to Jinyang Gongcang City to investigate the market, so he had to let me go."

"This is his excuse! He originally planned to let you go. He told me last time in Yulin County that after the Fenyang Palace was repaired, I asked him to go to the Western Regions. I asked him to give you two months off, and he agreed."

Yang Lihua sighed helplessly. She also knew that if it weren't for the urgent matter, the emperor would not have broken his promise to him, so he had to ask again: "When will we leave?"

"Ten days later!"

‘Ten days! Yang Lihua quickly calculated in her heart, then nodded, “It’s okay, it’s time.”

"What's the time?" Yang Yuanqing asked in confusion.

"Why are you so confused now!"

Yang Lihua said angrily: "Of course it's a marriage matter, otherwise what do I give you to do with those families? If you don't get married, it's enough to give you a tent."

Yang Yuanqing scratched the back of his head and said apologizing: "Actually, I remembered this incident yesterday. But today the emperor and I have been talking about the Western Regions. My thoughts are still immersed in the Western Regions, so I forgot about this incident for a moment."

Yang Lihua's voice softened again, "Yuanqing, marriage is a humane morality. It is actually more important than anything you do. Only by marrying a wife and having children, thriving offspring can your life continue. Don't take it seriously."

"I know, Minqiu's mother asked me about the marriage arrangement last time, and I said I would wait for His Royal Highness to come back. She is the man who takes the marriage."

Yang Lihua shook her head and smiled, "Since you treat me as an elder, don't call me Your Highness Princess, call me A Gu! Like Zhaoer, don't he regard you as his brother?"

"Yes! Ah Gu."

Yang Lihua took out a gold box, which contained Yang Yuanqing's engagement items and smiled and said, "Among the six marriage rituals, Najib and Nazheng ended when they were engaged. In fact, there were only two gifts left, one was invited, and the last one was welcomed. By the way, I still have the betrothal gift from Nazheng, and I will send someone to deliver it tomorrow."

She took out a calendar from the golden box and flipped it out, saying happily: "It's good that it's not the twelfth lunar month or the year of Liang. And there are two auspicious days in the next few days, the third day of the fifth day and the fifth day of the fifth day. I want to go to the Pei family to discuss it, set the day and go with me!"

Yang Yuanqing was stunned, "Now?"

Yang Lihua stood up and said, "Yes! It's just sleeping."

A quarter of an hour later, more than a hundred guards guarded Yang Lihua's carriage and headed towards Pei Mansion. Yang Yuanqing rode a horse and followed Yang Lihua's carriage. Yang Lihua opened the window and saw that the rain had just stopped outside was getting started again, and the rain was quite heavy. He couldn't help but worry: "Yuanqing, why don't you get into the carriage too!"

Yang Yuanqing looked at the guard behind him, shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, this little rain is nothing."

"You kid!"

Yang Lihua sighed. In fact, she knew in her heart that Yang Yuanqing was afraid of others going around. Yang Yuanqing was almost twenty years old, and she was single. More importantly, the two had no blood relationship and were alone in the room and were easily criticized. This is Yang Yuanqing taking into account her reputation.

Yang Lihua was moved, and she said softly again: "Okay! You are outside the window, I'll say a few words to you."

"Please say, I'll listen!"

"Yuan Qing, there is one thing I want to tell you, although it does not represent my attitude, but I want you to know that it is about your relationship with the Yang family."

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently. Since his marriage has arrived, the problems of the Yang family are inevitable.

Yang Lihua continued to whisper again: "The Master is very sensitive to your relationship with the Yang family. He will never want you to return to the Yang family. A few days ago, the Master asked about your marriage. He asked me when the wedding date was. I said it was almost within May, so the Master sent your father to Jiangdu the day before yesterday. Do you understand?"

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I understand!"

"It's good that you understand, so can the rest of the Yang family come to attend this wedding? Let's decide! I'll arrange an invitation tomorrow."

Yang Yuanqing had the intention to invite the third uncle Yang Xuan Award, but he pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "Since my father cannot come, the rest of the Yang family don't need to invite him, even if he expresses his opinion to the emperor!"

"I also have this opinion."

Yang Lihua nodded, "Since that's the case, the Yang family invitation will be cancelled."

At this time, Yang Yuanqing remembered that his aunt and uncle were the ones who should come, but unfortunately it was too late.

Princess Leping is about to arrive, and the Pei family has received news in advance that they have held more than a dozen umbrellas on the steps. Pei Ju's wife, Mrs. Cui, has been waiting for a long time. At this time, it was the time to go to court. The people left in the mansion are basically women.

"Old lady, the princess is coming down!" The housekeeper of the Pei family ran from the rain and reported loudly.

More than a hundred guards in the distance were guarding a carriage and rushed towards Pei's mansion. After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the steps. Yang Yuanqing turned over and got off the horse, went forward and opened the car door. The two maids opened the umbrella and slowly walked off the carriage with Yang Lihua.

Mrs. Cui hurriedly came up and gave a deep salute, "Welcome to the Princess to come down to Pei Mansion!"

Mrs. Cui is two years younger than her husband Pei Ju, and is exactly sixty years old this year. She has received the third-rank imperial edict. Although Princess Leping has a noble status, she has come to Pei's mansion many times, so everyone is familiar with it, and the welcome ceremony is a little simpler.

Yang Lihua quickly smiled and said, "It's so heavy rain, the old lady doesn't have to come out. If she suffers from the cold, it's amazing."

"How can the old woman behave in ruthlessly when the princess arrives in person? The rain has not fallen for several months, and today I feel happy."

Seeing that most of the guards were soaked like chickens, Mrs. Cui hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to lead the guards into the mansion from the side door, entertain the wine and food, wash their faces and drink hot soup.

At this time, Yang Lihua saw that Yang Yuanqing was also covered in rain and looked embarrassed, so she couldn't help but laugh, pointing at Yang Yuanqing and laughing, "Do you recognize who this is?"

"So it's a prospective son-in-law!" A woman from the Pei family recognized Yang Yuanqing at first glance.

Everyone laughed together, "Why are you so embarrassed?"

Wang felt sorry for his son-in-law and hurriedly ordered someone to take Yang Yuanqing in to change his clothes. Mrs. Cui smiled and invited Yang Lihua to the back house to discuss the ceremony.

Yang Yuanqing drank a bowl of hot soup in the small room, wiped the rainwater on his face and neck with a dry cloth, changed into a new robe, and then walked towards the living room.

As soon as he left the house, a maid stepped forward and bowed: "Several ladies want to talk to my son-in-law. Can you invite my son-in-law and his party?"

"Okay, please lead the way!"

The maid led Yang Yuanqing to the inner hall and walked into a guest hall. She saw five or six wives sitting inside. These were Pei Minqiu's aunt and aunt, but her mother, Mrs. Wang, was not there. A young woman was sitting next to her, but her cousin Pei You.

Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Wang discussed the specific wedding date with Yang Lihua at the back house. After discussing, these wives invited Yang Yuanqing. According to customs, they had many questions to ask the prospective son-in-law.

"See some elder wives!" Yang Yuanqing walked up to the group and gave a bow.

The head of the seat is Pei Ju's eldest daughter Pei Hanyu, who is over 40 years old. She married the Lu family more than 20 years ago. Her husband died two years ago and she is a widow. In the past few months, she has temporarily lived in her parents' home.

"Please sit down for the prospective son-in-law!"

She asked Yang Yuanqing to sit down and ordered the maid to serve tea. Then she smiled and said, "According to the custom, when the bride is welcome, we will ask questions. The elders of the woman ask the son-in-law. However, Pei's house is too big, and after this, we don't know when it will be. So today we will ask briefly. At that time, we will only ask the gate ceremony and the boudoir ceremony. The other ceremony will not make things difficult for the son-in-law. Is it OK?"

Yang Yuanqing hurriedly bowed, "Of course!"

"Then I'll ask first!"

Pei Hanyu smiled and said, "Although the content of the gift is a bit rude, it is an old custom. If you can answer, you will answer. If you really don't want to answer, we won't force it."

"No problem, I'll try to answer."

"I'll ask first, any position for the prospective son-in-law? How much property does the family have?"
