The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, Kongyang Academy finally gave every student a seven-day holiday, and Yangqing also took advantage of this holiday to go home. Xu used to write once every ten days, but during this period, she wished she could write every day, hoping to get the news of Yangqing's return home as soon as possible.

However, Yang Yao was with his grandfather in office and could not return to Beijing without the emperor's order for the time being. This was also a small regret in Xu's heart.

Yang Qi received the news that his elder brother had returned home yesterday, and he waited for him with Xu at Shi'an Courtyard early this morning.

Seeing Xu instructing people to make tea and soup all morning, Yang Qi felt tired and said, "Second Aunt, take a break. I feel tired just watching you all morning."

Xu was busy running around and didn't hear what Yang Qi said for a while.

Yang Qi felt somewhat helpless, and looked at Mother Li asking for help, hoping that Mother Li could persuade Mrs. Xu.

Seeing the pleading look, Madam Li smiled and covered her mouth: "Miss San, your words are useless, and I can't rely on you. Madam has been dealing with less things these days, and I feel that I am too idle. Now let Madam be more busy."

Since Mother Li said so, Yang Qi could only watch Xu walking around.

After waiting for a long time, they heard footsteps. Yang Qi and Xu smiled at each other, and then they saw Yang Qing stepping into the main house.

I haven't seen my brother for half a year. He has grown a lot taller and has become more stable.

Xu hurried forward and supported Yang Qing's arm: "Kongyang Academy is really a place that nourishes people. My son has grown taller again."

Yang Qing observed his mother carefully: "Mom, I haven't seen you for half a year, and you look younger again!"

Since throwing away the burden of the Duke's Mansion, Xu's life has been so comfortable. She no longer has to manage the Duke's Mansion's property, nor does she have to make decisions or inquire about the big and small matters of the Duke's Mansion. This is probably what it means to be happy and fat.

Yang Qi looked at the two of them and interrupted, "Brother, you are finally back. Second aunt had a very happy Mid-Autumn Festival this time."

Yang Qing deliberately put on a stern face: "Why, are you unhappy that I'm here?"

Yang Qi held An's hand and said with a smile, "I'm happy. Now that my elder brother is here, I can go out and play. How can I not be happy?"

Yang Qing patted Yang Qi's head and said, "You only know how to go out and play. You are already so old, you should focus on your studies."

Yang Qi shrank to Xu's side and said, "Second aunt, my elder brother wants to hit me, please protect me."

Xu looked at the quarrel between the brother and sister and said cheerfully, "Alright, alright, Yangqing, go wash up quickly. Everything is ready in the room. Mother also made you some fresh soup. Remember to drink it later."

Coming out of Shi'an Courtyard with a smile, Yang Qing went to her own Yuzhu Pavilion, washed up and down, and was covered in dust after traveling for half a day.

After Yang Qing left Shi'an Courtyard, Yang Qi also said goodbye to his second aunt and returned to Linhu Courtyard. Today, Xu was excited all day and must be a little tired. When it was time for dinner, everyone had to go upstairs to eat together.

The matter of Xihu was handled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Yang Qi asked Zong Yue and the people of Guangming Hall to watch in secret. Zong Yue had the "Ganoderma Lucidum Jade Dew", so it was only a matter of time before he could detoxify General Huo, the Duke of Ying.

Yang Qi stayed in the room all day, and only went upstairs when Nanny Zhu reminded him to do so when dinner was almost over.

The upper room was bustling today. All the people from the big room were together. Yang Jing also brought An Xiaoqiu with her. Only Song Hongjin and Yang Yao were missing from the second room.

Brother Yang Qing is the eldest grandson personally raised by the old lady. When he returned home this time, the old lady specially arranged a banquet as a welcoming party for Yang Qing.

Yang Qi looked at An Xiaoqiu's outfit today and blinked: "Cousin An, is someone in your family getting old?"

It's not that Yang Qi was overthinking, it's just that An Xiaoqiu was wearing all white today. Although Yang Lan and Yang Qi both had white clothes, they both had more floral patterns, not too plain.

Hearing Yang Qi's words, Yang Jing jumped out first: "Third sister, you said that, are you cursing my parents?"

An Xiaoqiu also cried and said, "I don't know how I have offended Third Sister that she would say such a thing?"

Since childhood, An Xiaoqiu has liked wearing white clothes. She feels that white is ethereal and wearing it can make her look otherworldly.

Yang Qi said to Yang Jing hurriedly, "Sister, please don't talk nonsense. I was just looking at cousin An's clothes, so I asked this question."

Then, Yang Qi explained to An Xiaoqiu: "Cousin An, if someone in the family is not old, you will never dress like this in Beijing. To put it bluntly, if you dress like this when you go out to visit guests, you will probably be kicked out by the host family."

An Xiaoqiu then realized why everyone had a smile in their eyes when she entered the room. She was afraid that she was a joke in their eyes.

Among these people, Yang Qi couldn't help but speak out the truth.

Thinking of this, An Xiaoqiu couldn't help but said, "It's all my cousin's fault. I didn't know there was any reason for saying these things. I'll go change my clothes now." After saying that, An Xiaoqiu turned around and left the yard.

Yang Lan looked at Yang Qi helplessly: "You, be more careful about what you say and do in the future, don't just say whatever comes to your mind."

Yang Qi stood beside Yang Lan and said, "Second sister, am I wrong? If grandma saw this, she would be furious. I am just reminding her out of kindness!"

Every time Yang Jing saw Yang Qi acting cute around Yang Lan, she got angry: "You're being kind, but I think Third Sister is just trying to take advantage of you."

At this time, Yang Qi didn't need to speak, Yang Lan retorted first: "Sixth sister, be careful with your words. What the third sister said is not wrong. An Xiaoqiu came from the northwest, so it's not surprising that she doesn't know the etiquette of the capital. The third sister explained it out of kindness. Could it be that you want to let An Xiaoqiu embarrass herself in public?"

Ever since she had studied with Yang Lan for some time, Yang Jing felt a little afraid when facing Yang Lan. She pursed her lips and stopped talking.

The old lady was in the room. A maid had already come to explain An Xiaoqiu's mistake. When she heard Yang Qi's rebuttal, she nodded with satisfaction.

There's no need to use a butcher knife to kill a chicken. For such a small matter, there's no need for the old lady to ask for help.

Yang Qing finished washing up and came to the upper room, later than everyone else. However, today was special, the old lady didn't care about the gift, and the others would not say anything either.

Looking at the old lady sitting in the upper seat, Yang Qing knelt on the ground and bowed deeply: "Hello, grandma. Your grandson is back."

The old lady hurriedly stood up and pulled Yang Qing up: "Good child, good child, there is no need to be so polite. You can go back home today, and the family can have a good Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion, the more people there are, the more lively it is!
