Chapter 26 Return to the House

On the evening of that day, Mo Yan came to the post station to pay his respects to Chen Yuan, and sent some things to her, and told her that the young master would take her back to the house to see the old lady the next day, so that she could be mentally prepared. The next morning, Chen Yuan had just packed up, and Ying Zhen happened to come to the post station to pick her up. The two seemed to have made an appointment in advance, without delaying any effort.

As soon as he left the door, Chen Yuan heard the lively affairs on the street. It turned out that Mrs. Mi left the remarks and went out of the palace to practice cultivation. Everyone in the streets and alleys were talking about their mysterious, cold and independent wife.

Chen Yuan was also a little curious. She had heard of the title of Madam Mi more than once, so that before she saw this woman, she had already created a perfect outline for her. A favorite concubine made the emperor disgusted with the palace. How should she have a charming look? I guess she is also a wonderful woman who is proficient in the six arts and has only prepared five cars!

Chen Yuan was next to Ying Zhen. Although she was curious about the lady, she didn't dare to act too unrestrained. She sat in the car with her body upright, feeling a little nervous and shy. She turned her eyes quietly at Ying Zhen. He looked straight, without any extra excitement, as if she was worried. Although he still looked humble, Chen Yuan could feel that there was a trace of vague absent-mindedness. Did the young master encounter any problems? Could it be that his affairs with him were opposed by his family? Chen Yuan was also nervous throughout the journey, only Zhong Ling and Mo Yan kept laughing at the carriage. In the spring, it seemed that they were the only ones who were really focused and looked at the road in front of him happily.

Dongfeng Lane, Ying Mansion. Everything is ready, is it just the east wind? It is a good meaning. For Emperor Yujing, isn’t the young master the east wind that everything is expected? It seems that only by the young master’s consideration can you be sure of success. Chen Yuan’s jumping heart always involuntarily adds light to the young master, probably to be happy with someone, that’s it. Speaking of Dongfeng Lane, Yujing is known to everyone. Those who can live here are all ministers who have made great contributions to the court. But now, except for the popular popularity of Ying Mansion, other families in Dongfeng Lane have gradually declined, and their doors are deserted, and they have long lost their former scenes. Therefore, from nowhere, Dongfeng Lane has become the synonym for Ying Mansion, as if this whole alley is shining because of the location of Ying Mansion.

After arriving, Chen Yuan's previous concerns about the marriage were completely overturned. Mrs. Ying did not have the majesty as she imagined, nor did she pretend to try to control her. Instead, the old lady had a kindness, a gentle tone and kind attitude.

When the old lady and her daughter saw Chen Yuan, they looked at each other and did not communicate too much. The corners of their eyes still showed the smile of being a mother and the politeness that the host should have. Then Chen Yuan stepped forward to greet him, and his behavior was generous. The old lady asked her to approach him, and then held Chen Yuan's hand and couldn't help asking questions. This behavior was not like the first time she saw Chen Yuan, which also made Chen Yuan feel that she was happy at the first sight of her, as if she had met again after a long time, full of joy.

Although Chen Yuan had not yet passed away, the old lady seemed to have regarded her as her daughter-in-law. She also told her that the servants should not stick to the rules and just call Chen Yuan the young lady. Seeing that Chen Yuan and Ying Zhen were a little shy and polite, she told Chen Yuan not to call Ying Zhen the eldest son and the short son, which made Chen Yuan blush at the time and didn't know what to do.

I heard that the young master had a sister, and Chen Yuan was a little curious at that time. His sister must be unique in her so good at learning from others! Today, she was a meeting with her. Chen Yuan had already looked at her quietly while talking to the old lady. This beautiful sister is Ying Wan. She is a little younger than Princess Wenling and has not yet grown up. But she looks like a complete lady from a wealthy family. Her words and deeds are very appropriate. She occasionally says a few words, which makes Chen Yuan look more graceful and elegant, which makes Chen Yuan overjoyed.

A group of people surrounded them into the main hall. Chen Yuan looked at the main hall of Yingfu. All the furnishings were not very luxurious, but elegant and exquisite. The entrance was facing the wall panel. The couplet hanging screen on the top was not like the ordinary scholarly family. Instead, a hand-painted picture of pine and cranes prolonging their lives, auspicious clouds and auspiciousness, and the hand-written "Thousands of Ink Bright Wind the Heaven and Earth, and thousands of miles of Clouds into the High Pavilion" formed a couplet. In front of the wall panel was a rosewood strip, which was faintly fragrant, which was very pleasant to smell. On the table, colorful porcelain was paired with some sparrow tails inside, two green fish vases were added next to it, with seasonal flowers, and an incense burner and a hat barrel. Not far away, an ancient rack was separated by antique utensils, and antique utensils and tea tables. There were many pairs of pine wood ring chairs on both sides of the center of the hall, arranged in order, looking elegant and solemn, square and solemn.

The old lady sat in the main seat, Ying Zhen and Chen Yuan sat down, and Wan Wan sat opposite her. Chen Yuan then truly felt that she was integrating into such a family and into a place with a young master's breath. She couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart, thinking that she would live with them in the future, and she always felt that she had a deep blessing.

After lunch, the old lady wanted Ying Zhen to accompany Chen Yuan, but unexpectedly, the princess Xiangcheng sent someone to invite him away, so the old lady had to ask Wanwan to accompany her to visit Ying Mansion. In fact, there was nothing new about the mansion, just a flower corridor and a flower hall. Fortunately, the Ying Mansion was designed ingeniously, with plants and trees in contrast, and the lake water was connected. In addition, it was the first time to come, so Chen Yuan was not boring as he walked along the way.

What impressed Chen Yuan the most was the study surrounded by three thousand bamboos. Lifting the bamboo to listen to the wind and rain, with a noble character; reading the floating life in the vast sea, the fragrance of books is the Qiqi. This is the couplet in front of Ying Zhen’s study, with vigorous brushwork and full of charm, and it is indeed very similar to the integrity of the young master. Wanwan said that the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the mansion were all from Ying Zhen’s handwriting, and Chen Yuan couldn’t help but admire the young master even more.

When she walked to a place called Chenxiang Tower, Wanwan did not have the same interest as before. Not only did she not take her in, she took her around like dodgingly, and didn't know what was in the building. Although Chen Yuan was very curious, she did not insist on asking the reason. Chenxiang Tower? Why is there such a tower in Ying Mansion?

As he walked, Chen Yuan appeared. There were only plants and trees around the pavilions and buildings related to the young master and the agarwood building, without branches, and a lush area. On the contrary, the other houses and courtyards were covered with flowers, seas and stars, which were very beautiful.

"By the way, my brother didn't ride Yu Xiaoyao away today. Let's go and have a look?"

Yu Xiaoyao was a white horse that the late Emperor Yujing gave to the young master. It was originally the emperor's emperor's steward. This horse can travel thousands of miles a day, with a tall body and pure fur. It looked like a good horse. In the stable, Yu Xiaoyao was eating feed quietly. When he saw Chen Yuan and the others coming, he was not anxious, but let Wanwan caress and feed him.

"At that time, the late emperor rewarded many things, and my brother didn't care much, but he treated this horse very well and had a deep affection." Wanwan smiled and said, "I couldn't bear to ask others to call it, but it was better than my sister!"

Listening to Wanwan's half-joking words, Chen Yuan also smiled. It seemed that the young master cared about it very much. She looked at the horse's eyes, which were extremely clear, gentle and kind, making people feel very friendly. No wonder the young master cherished it so much.

"I heard that this horse had visited Qiyan Kingdom with the late emperor, and now he visited Xihua Kingdom with his brother. His horizons are much broader than mine. Are you a Xiaoyao Horse? You are so powerful!" Wanwan gently stroked the horse's hair, as if he was talking to it, and the horse also whispered a few times.

"Oh?" Chen Yuan smiled slightly, "It's like it's doing its best to do anything. If it were an ordinary horse, how could it stand such a rush?"

The conversation with Wanwan was very light, which made Chen Yuan feel warm and cared for.

In the evening, Ying Zhen returned to the mansion. The old lady asked him to find a place for Chen Yuan first and then move in after getting married. After all, Chen Yuan is considered a noble status and should not be neglected. Although the inn is convenient, it is not suitable for long-term living. Ying Zhen said that he had already thought about it, so he let her live in the old house of the Ying family. The environment was good, and the old housekeeper was still there. Chen Yuan passed by, and they were relieved. The old lady sighed that her son was considerate.

After dinner, when she returned to the inn and saw Yuxiu coming, Chen Yuan and Zhong Ling were happy between their eyebrows and hurriedly pulled her to talk about the past few days of her life in the palace.
