Second Marriage - Chapter 26
After Xiao Youning returned to the second room of the Xiao family for lunch, the yard was finalized, and the other party went through the formalities together in the capital.
She was in a good mood with the freshly released title deed in her arms.
When she got out of the carriage, she found that the atmosphere in the house was slightly different than before.
Yuanguo was also aware of it, took a few curious glances, and secretly bit her ears and said, “Could it be that Young Master Erfang is about to be married?”
It’s not too soon, it’s still sweeping the floor, and it’s not the time when autumn leaves are flying everywhere.
Xiao Youning was too lazy to pay attention, and said lightly: “Just let them, we can’t live for many days.”
The middleman made a fortune today, and he promised to mobilize acquaintances to inquire, and there should be news soon.
After all, she doesn’t want a big yard. The nobles in the East City gather. It is not easy to buy houses with three entrances or more. Erjin sells expensively, and the family can’t live with a little more people. If you look for it carefully, you will surely find it. If you want to spend a little more money.
As Xiao Youning thought, he slowly walked to the guest house where he lived, and then went on the veranda, and a manager happily caught up.
“Three girls, wait, wait.”
The steward is the outside courtyard steward, Xiao Youning turned her head and saw something red in his hand.
When the people got closer, she saw clearly that it was a red-faced gilded invitation, and the gilded part was a large cluster of peonies.
At a glance, you can tell that the owner of the invitation is either rich or expensive.
The invitation was handed to her directly by the steward, following her sight.
“Three girls, this is an invitation from the princess mansion. There will be a banquet in the princess mansion in the future. Please come over and have a banquet.”
Long Princess House?
Xiao Youning took it, but did not open it.
There are several long princess mansions in the capital, and it is also the current eldest sister, Princess Dexi.
But she never walked with the eldest princess, not to mention that her father and brother had an accident. Even if there was no accident, the eldest princess had never invited her to his house. Because Princess Hui Xian always looked at her unpleasantly, as long as there was a scene at the same table, she had to be run on for a few words.
Xiao Youning accepted the invitation, and his expression was lighter than before.
It is certainly not out of good intentions that good things do not come to the door.
“Thank you.” She turned and left with the invitation.
The steward’s smiling face froze there, Yuanguo drew out his purse to reward him, but couldn’t recover.
After people walked a few steps, the steward realized that there was nothing to say, and shouted at her slim back: “Three girls, the young masters and girls in the house have also received posts, but you are alone.”
But the heads of the people walking between the light and shadow did not look back, nor did they say whether to go or not, the attitude is really intriguing.
The manager was confused.
That is the Long Princess Mansion. Are the three girls unhappy?
Get on the line, or if the eldest princess goes to the emperor to say something nice to Qian, doesn’t she need to be dragged by her father and brother?
Yuanguo followed her for a long time, knowing that Hui Xian was at odds with her, frowning and worrying: “Girl, this must be uneasy and kind! And how can the princess remember us?”
“Well, even our Yuanguo knows there are frauds, so we definitely can’t go.” Xiao Youning turned her head and smiled and raised her hand to pinch the maid’s round face.
“Girl!” Yuan Guo hurriedly avoided.
Obviously she is older than the girl, but the girl always likes to tease her, but her mind sometimes doesn’t turn around.
Xiao Youning laughed again now.
The scattered branches and leaves leaned into the veranda, and the sunlight sifted through the green leaves and shone on her smiling face, casting a soft light.
The young girl’s bright smile can infect people, Yuanguo followed and touched her face and laughed: “Whatever it is, if we don’t go, can we still carry us?”
As long as the girl can laugh and be happy.
Thinking about it, she moved her face forward again: “Girl, I seem to have gained weight recently, please pinch it again.”
The master and servant laughed together. Xiao Youning went back to the room and threw the invitation aside, bent his eyes and took out the title deed, smiling at the inscribed name.
Although the life-saving grace is not over yet, at least it can be repaid a little. When will she find the Dao Master to give him?
She suddenly looked forward to the expression on Dao Chang’s cold face after seeing the title deed.
Moreover, the Dao Master happened to do her a favor. With that news, Minger didn’t have to go to the palace man anymore, just so she didn’t have to worry too much about Huo Mingwu.
After knowing what he meant, she was always upset. It was really because she couldn’t respond.
Xiao Youning carefully collected the land deed and asked Yuan Guo Ming’er to find someone to tell Chen Li to find Ye Shen and ask him when he was free.
The next day, Xiao Youning didn’t go out, and slept for a long time. He didn’t get up slowly until three poles in the sun.
The mansion became lively because of the banquet of the princess. Mo asked the people in Yinlou to take ready-made jewelry for several girls in the mansion to choose, and let them go to the banquet in dignity.
Xiao Youning didn’t even plan to go. He didn’t even choose any clothes. After lunch, he sat in the house in a daze, waiting for news from Chen Li.
In the evening, Chen Li hadn’t come yet, but discovered that Huo Mingwu, who had missed the palace man by Xiao Youning, had arrived.
Huo Mingwu showed anxiety when he saw her, and asked: “Is Sister Xiao delayed by something?”
Xiao Youning had thought about talking to Huo Mingwu again today, but he didn’t expect that he would come first and told him the reason frankly.
“Taoist? How can a Taoist inquire so much?”
Huo Mingwu knew that it was the help of the Taoist priest who had rescued her before. He couldn’t tell what it was like for a while, and when he was anxious, his tone was questioning Ye Shen.
He asked this, Xiao Youning felt that it was human nature, after all, even she felt that Enlightenment was a bit too divine.
She stroked the tassel that was hanging from the wooden sign on her waist, and tilted her head and said, “He is in the house of the nobleman, and he seems to be helping to make pill or something. That nobleman is capable. It sounds true, he didn’t. You have to fool me, after all, we met together before…”
When she said this, Huo Mingwu realized that he had passed a little earlier, his face changed, his ears became slightly hot, and he spoke quietly.
“Sister Xiao, I don’t mean anything else.”
“I understand, Brother Huo is afraid that I will be deceived. Since he said it, it must be difficult to inquire, I will believe it for the time being. Wait and see, maybe there is no need to inquire about the exact news.”
She didn’t mention asking him to help again, he knew it in his heart.
It was because he was too impatient last time and showed his mood, which burdened her.
Huo Mingwu complained that he couldn’t hold his breath, but when the matter was over, he said more, I’m afraid he would have to avoid him.
He secretly adjusted his mood and showed a hearty smile: “He has helped a few times. It is indeed a kind heart. If I don’t make an affair another day, Sister Xiao, please invite him to the scene. I happen to meet him, and we will have contacts in the future. , All know the roots.”
The Taoist priest is also a man, still as young as she said.
Xiao Youning understood that he was still worried about his own safety, and was ashamed of not being able to respond, and simply agreed: “Okay. Brother Huo has a good day, I will find someone to bring him a message in advance.”
When Huo Mingwu met the Daoist chief and knew that he was reliable, then she would naturally not have to refuse his help on the face, so as not to embarrass each other behind. At least now that the window paper hasn’t opened, she pretends that she doesn’t know anything.
She didn’t refuse, Huo Mingwu felt better, and the second room of the Huo family didn’t stay for a long time, so he had to go to the palace and leave.
As soon as he entered the palace, Huo Mingwu ran into Ye Shen who had returned from the imprisonment.
The slender man wore a Taoist robe, and the hem of the plain Taoist robe was dyed with dark colors. The jade face was as cold as a winter moon, shut thousands of miles away.
Huo Mingwu’s gaze fell under his feet and found that the stone slabs he had stepped on were all stained with dark blood.
This is another person who has been tried in prison, and returned to the palace with blood.
Ye Shen went in the other direction, but the two didn’t meet each other, which saved Huo Mingwu’s bow. As Ye Shen moved further and further away, his retracted gaze suddenly fell back to that figure.
Young Taoist… Ye Wuye dressed up like this, really like a young Taoist.
However, with Ye Wuye’s cold-blooded temperament, it was impossible to save someone, so killing someone would be easy.
Huo Mingwu looked away again, thinking that Xiao Youning was alienating himself, and sighed heavily.
