Chapter 209
In the early morning of New Year's Eve, Yu'an was woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside. He glanced at Liu Huaixu, who was woken up impatiently, and gave a smirk. come out.
Today can be said that Yu An has planned for a long time, she thought that this year is Yu Chu's first New Year, so she must be particularly impressed.
Yu Chu, who was picked up, was ignorant, and was placed in front of the dressing table by his mother, and he smeared it all over.
Painting Yuchu as a new year doll is not only a celebration of the New Year but also a surprise for Liu Huaixu.
Liu Huaixu was not around, Yu Chu was very obedient, and let her draw without crying or fussing, but at the last moment when she touched the red spot on her forehead, Yu Chu suddenly started to move, Yu An grabbed her little hand and said in a bluff: Don't move around."
Yu Chu curled his lips, looking like he was going to cry or not, and called mother vaguely.
Yu'an thought that Yuchu was thinking of Liu Huaixu, so he didn't think much of it, and gave her a red dot on her forehead, looking at her masterpiece with satisfaction...
At this time, I suddenly felt a pat on the shoulder, turned my head, and found that Liu Huaixu had come over at some time, and was looking at her with a smile that was not a smile.
Yu An pursed her lips, pointed at Yu Chu and said, "Daughter-in-law, my New Year's gift for you... ouch!"
In the early morning of New Year's Eve, Yu Chu was bullied severely by Yu An, and Yu An...
Dragging my back injury to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.
It can be said that Liu Huaixu's twisting was unprecedentedly ruthless, and Yu An was in pain all the time while cooking.
Fortunately, there are many people in the general's mansion, so Yu'an is not very useful, only a few dishes that Liu Huaixu wants to eat, so Yu'an cooks them himself.
Counting it, this is the third year that Yu An has lived here, and it is also the first year without Yu Li.
Long before Liu Huaicheng and King Ning's wedding, Yu Li had been here to write a letter. He was so busy with his studies for half a year that he couldn't spare time. I'm afraid that he might not be able to get together during the Chinese New Year. At that time, Yu'an and Liu Huaixu were still very sad about this.
Not to mention the New Year, even after Yuchu made his voice, Yuli had never seen her, and Yuchu didn't even know that he had a aunt.
However, Yu An and Liu Huaixu could only understand the heavy workload.
At least there are quite a few people in the General's Mansion, and it's still a good time to celebrate the new year.
Of course, this is just what they think, the reality is that King Ning and Liu Huaicheng need to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet on New Year's Eve.
Apart from their family of three, Qisihu and Ayun were the only ones who celebrated the New Year together in the mansion.
From the beginning of the marriage, the two of them stayed away from each other. Occasionally, Qi Sihu and Yu An would go to the store together, and A Yun would help take care of Yu Chu, but most of the time the two of them stayed in the house and rarely came out.
After the New Year's Eve dinner was served, Xiao Jinyu from the small courtyard also came out, and she was still timid when she saw a few people.
Yu'an and Liu Huaixu were slightly surprised when they saw her coming, they thought Xiao Jinyu had entered the palace with King Ning and Liu Huaicheng, but they didn't expect to be in the mansion.
Then it occurred to him that Xiao Jinyu also did not attend the big wedding that day.
They had never heard of the rumors in Beijing, but various deeds showed that some things about Xiao Jinyu were not simple.
But no one mentioned it, and the two of them naturally didn't ask too much.
As usual, let Yuchu play with Xiao Jinyu, and the adults ate and drank.
According to Yu'an and Liu Huaixu's plan, they will return to Linyang in spring, when the two shops in the capital will be on the right track, everything will be worry-free.
Only Xiao Jinyu has much less chance of seeing Yu Chu.
After all, Yuchu was still young, so it was obviously inappropriate to go back and forth, and it was obviously impossible for Xiao Jinyu to go to Linyang.
So let the two children play together as much as possible.
Xiao Jinyu also knew that Yu Chu couldn't stay in the capital all the time, so he cherished this time very much, and guarded Yu'an and Liu Huaixu's door early every day.
Even when she was supposed to go to school, King Ning didn't send her there, but planned to send her off after Yu'an left.
……
Before the March Festival, Yu'an and others packed their bags and prepared to return to Linyang. They also wanted to take advantage of the March Festival to return to Zeyuan Village to worship their ancestors.
Last year caught up with the war, and the few people were in Tuzhou, and there was really no way to go back, so if they want to go back this year, they have to set off earlier.
The day before departure, Xiao Jinzhao, who had been busy for a long time, also came to see him off. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said to several people: "I know you are going to leave, and the king specially prepared a surprise for you." Xiao Jinzhao glanced at the servant beside him, who bowed The waist slowly retreated.
After waiting for a while, they saw the servant returning, followed by a man in a light crimson official robe.
The servant deliberately blocked this person's face, Yu'an and the others looked at it in a foggy manner, and did not move out of position until they stepped into the door, and the face of the person behind them was clearly seen by them.
After a moment of slight surprise, the man bowed and shouted: "My minister, Dali Zheng Yuli, has seen His Royal Highness, King Ning, and General Liu."
Xiao Jinzhao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Excuse me."
"I called you to the General's Mansion this time so that those who meet my sister and sister-in-law don't need to be formal."
Even though Xiao Jinzhao said so, Yu Li did not dare to relax, and stood up straight with his back and cupped his hands in response: "Yes..."
Yu Li, who was wearing an official robe, looked more mature and stable than a year ago. Yu An and Liu Huaixu looked at her and smiled, but Yu Li only blinked because of Xiao Jinzhao's presence, very reserved.
Xiao Jinzhao also noticed it, and said lightly: "The surprise has been delivered, and I still have important matters to deal with, so I will take a step first."
After Xiao Jinzhao's words fell, Yu Li bowed down to send him off again. For a while, Xiao Jinzhao couldn't laugh or cry, he waved his hands and said, "You, your elder sister and I have the grace to save lives. If it's not in the court, it doesn't have to be like this."
Yu Li's bent waist was still not standing up straight, and he responded: "No, the princess is the heir of the East Palace, and Yu Li must not exceed the rules."
Xiao Jinzhao had good intentions but was choked for a moment, said a few good words, then patted Yuli on the shoulder and said: "As expected of Dali Zheng in my king's portrait, I will feel much more at ease when Dali Temple has you in the future. "
This time, Yu Li bent even deeper, and said in a respectful tone, "I will do my best, and I will not forget the kindness of Your Highness' cultivation."
Xiao Jinzhao smiled lightly, and without a few people seeing him off, he left the General's Mansion with his servants.
Except for King Ning, everyone in the room has had contact with Yu Li, not to mention Yu An and Liu Huaixu, even Liu Huaicheng had dealt with Yu Li when he was in Linyang, so he treated Yu Li like this. I didn't feel anything, but felt that she had grown up a bit.
Only King Ning, who has been with Yu'an for a long time, clearly knows what kind of person she is, and completely doesn't understand why there is such a big gap between the same sisters.
When doing business, Yu'an's mind is active, and he is usually cheerful and informal.
And Yuli is just the opposite of her, just for a moment, she can feel that she is rigid, stubborn, and single-minded.
This is a good temper, but this generation of the Xiao family royal family, except for the pretentiousness of the former princess Xiao Jinyue, the other princes and queens are easy-going, and he himself is the most daring person...
Can wear a veil and dance with a maiden...
It can be described as No.1 of the kings.
So he didn't understand it very much, but he still knew it with the scene.
Since he was such a person, he also put on the airs of a prince.
In fact, he didn't even need to carry it, and Yu Li was very respectful to him, so after a while, King Ning couldn't hold it anymore.
Pounding Liu Huaicheng's chest, he said in an aggrieved tone: "Sister-in-law's sister is not fun at all~~"
Yu Li was a little surprised by King Ning's appearance, but he didn't say anything. Instead, Yu'an pursed his lips and smiled, and explained to King Ning: "My sister has such a temper. I also think she is boring and tight, but sometimes I think she is very cute."
Yu Li always treats Yu An and Liu Huaixu differently from other people. He frowned subconsciously when he heard Yu An say it was boring, and relaxed his eyebrows again when he heard the next sentence, and his face actually had some joy. King Ning looked extremely incredible.
Then I saw Yu'an walking in front of Yuli, stretched out her hand to adjust her official robe slightly, and said in a soft tone: "General Liu, you know that he is your sister-in-law's younger brother, and King Ning is also his kun." Ze, you have an easy-going and open personality, you don't have to be so restrained."
"Yes, elder sister."
Yu Li responded with a serious face, but King Ning didn't quite believe that Yu Li could relax, but when it came to the dinner, Yu Li, who took off his official robe, was indeed not so rigid, and instead sat obediently between Yu An and Liu Huai. Xu's side, put food for the two of them, chat with each other from time to time, and things about the time in the Imperial College.
"I scored eight points in advance in the Zhixing Hall, and was recommended by Si Ye to be favored by the empress dowager, and I was appointed Dali Zheng."
The position of Dali is not low or high, but because Xiao Jinzhao values it, the road ahead will definitely be much easier, and Yuli's temperament is indeed suitable.
Yuli is destined to stay in Beijing in the future, so this time when the two of them return to Linyang, Yuli will naturally have to go back.
Dali Temple will take up her post next month, and during this period of time, her family and residence will be arranged for her, so she wants to go back to Jiangzhi County to bring Wu Qiuqiu with her, and then go back to Linyang with Yu'an and Liu Huaixu, and explain the matter to the Wu family , from now on it is going to take root in this capital.
In the future, the distance between the two sisters will be farther, but Yu An and Liu Huaixu are not worried.
Opened two stores in the capital, An Yuehuai's reputation has already been spread, and because of the help of King Ning, An Yuehuai has notarized in Jingzhao Yamen, but all franchisees must strictly follow the notarization.
This notarization is a little different than that done in the Linyang County Government.
It can be said that Da Minchao was the only one who did this. If it weren't for King Ning, it would be really difficult to do so. So now King Ning is not only the owner of An Yuehuai in the east of the city, but also one of the owners of the An Yuehuai brand. Specially responsible for counties around Gyeonggi.
And Jinghe County is the current key development county.
At first, Yu'an thought that King Ning wanted to open a store just for fun, but unexpectedly, he opened it more and more vigorously.
In this way, Yu'an saved a lot of trouble. He only needs to visit the capital once every half a year, and the rest will be handed over to King Ning. .
Having already gained experience, Yu'an also has an idea on how to open up the market in northern counties after returning to Linyang, so she will pay more attention to the north.
Moreover, Linyang occupies a favorable location, and it is not far from north to south.
In addition, they also have a house in the capital, so they can come to the capital for a short stay at any time, and they can also bring Wu Da and Aunt Wu to visit Yuli and Li.
The Imperial College is closed and strict, if Yu Li hadn't heard what Yu An said personally, she would really have no idea at all, and a stone that weighed down her heart also fell down.
It can be said that everyone is happy.
