The Duke's Daughter is Reborn
Chapter 96 Returning Home (3)
When they arrived at the upper room, the old lady was wearing new clothes and sitting down early to drink tea.
On ordinary days, the old lady would wait until everyone was seated before appearing. Seeing the old lady's expression, Yang Lan understood, and after paying her respects, she said with a happy face, "Grandma, Daddy is finally home today."
Yang Qi, who was sitting below Yang Lan, was also filled with joy and echoed, "Yes, Grandma."
The old lady was very excited after hearing the news. Her son had been transferred to another post for nine years and had never been back during this period. Fortunately, he returned to the capital this time. Although it was a horizontal transfer and his official position had not changed, everyone knew that being able to be transferred back to the imperial city was a promotion: "Yes, second girl, third girl, you can finally see your father."
Mother Rong couldn't help but feel happy when she saw the old lady's happy face. The old lady had only two sons in her life, but when she was old, both sons were transferred to other posts. Usually, the old lady felt empty in her heart. This time, the Duke was able to be transferred back to the capital, and the happiest person was the old lady.
As they were talking, Xu, Yin and Yanghe came into the house together. Seeing the old lady's happy smile, Xu was also very happy: "Mother, this time when my eldest uncle is back, the mansion is very lively."
The old lady's smile never stopped: "Yes, the Duke's Mansion is so big, it's really deserted for us." In fact, the old lady has always been bothered by the fact that there is no man in charge of the mansion. In the past nine years, the Duke of Song's Mansion has been keeping its head down in the capital, never offending people from other mansions. They are afraid that if there is a dispute with other mansions, the Duke of Song's Mansion can't even provide a man to show up.
Yang Qi looked at Xu's smiling face, and finally felt a little happier in such an occasion. Since her mother passed away, Xu had been handling everything in the Duke's Mansion, but the Duke's Mansion was a mess. Xu had always wanted to throw it away, but had always been troubled by the lack of people to take over. Now, as the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, it was reasonable for An to accept it. Xu could finally breathe a sigh of relief and look for a wife for her eldest son Yang Qing.
Neither Feng nor Gu were good at managing the internal affairs. Feng could at least maintain the normal operation of the entire Songguo Mansion, but Gu was completely in the dark when she took over. There were many old people in the mansion who were cunning and cunning, and most of the things they did were messed up.
Fortunately, Gu was kind-hearted. She used elixir to save Xu and her eldest brother, thus accumulating this favor. This was also the good fortune that enabled Yang Qi to live a life without worries about food and clothing as a girl later on.
Yang Qi looked at Aunt Yin and Yang He. Aunt Yin was wearing something different today. Usually, in order not to offend the old lady, Aunt Yin's clothes were all darker, which made her look much older. But today, she was wearing a lotus pink dress. Similarly, Yang He wore a dress of a similar color to Aunt Yin's. The mother and daughter standing together were really eye-catching.
In order to catch Song Hongwen's eye, Yin Yi Niang really put in a lot of effort. In fact, Yin Yi Niang was always worried. This An Shi was a man of means. The people she sent to the northwest were not reused, and no important news could be passed on. She didn't know if the Duke's preferences had changed over the years. The future of the fifth lady depended on whether she could regain the Duke's favor.
Yang He looked at Yang Lan and Yang Qi in the room, and felt that she was far behind them. Her aunt had no say in the mansion, and Xu would not care about the affairs of the first house. Only when she was six years old, the old lady was afraid of gossip from outsiders, so she found an unknown teacher for her. This teacher was not comparable to Mr. Yang, and many of her questions could not be answered.
Moreover, Nanny Li and Nanny Zhu were old people from the palace. Under their guidance, Yang Lan and Yang Qi made rapid progress, and Yang He could only watch anxiously. However, Nanny Chang also had many years of experience in teaching girls, and Yang He also learned a lot from Nanny Chang.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the old lady became more and more anxious. Every quarter of an hour, she would ask the maid to go to the front yard to check for news. Did the Duke come back?
As everyone was waiting, Rong's mother came in from outside and said happily, "Madam, the Duke is here and is getting off the sedan in the front yard!"
As the master and head of the Duke of Song's Mansion, this Duke is indeed one of the very few masters who can enter through the main gate.
After a while, everyone heard a burst of hurried footsteps, which were heavy and mixed, and they knew that there was a large group of people.
Yang Qi's heart couldn't help but beat a little faster. These people were finally here.
Nanny Zhu felt that Yang Qi was a little strange, but she just thought that it was because she hadn't seen her father for a long time and was a little excited. During the time she followed Yang Qi, Nanny Zhu knew that Duke Song was partial to her. Not only did the Third Miss receive a much smaller gift than others during the New Year, but during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Third Miss had no share at all. Fortunately, this matter changed after the old lady wrote a letter to intervene.
A group of people came in from outside the house, and the one leading them was the face that Yang Qi saw in his nightmares - Song Hongwen. Song Hongwen had been an official for many years, but he still looked like a handsome young man. Yang Qi often thought of this face and the beginning of all his nightmares in his dreams at midnight.
As soon as Song Hongwen entered the room, he looked straight at the old lady. He hadn't seen her for many years, and his mother really looked a little old: "Mom, the unfilial son Song Hongwen is finally back."
The old lady held Song Hongwen's hand, tears falling unconsciously from her eyes: "Okay, okay, okay, it's good that you're back." In the past few years, she really missed her two sons so much, especially Song Hongwen. Not only was he the Duke, but he was also her first child. Naturally, she felt the most distressed for him.
The old lady and Song Hongwen cried for a while, and finally stopped after being persuaded by An and Xu. Song Hongwen took the handkerchief handed over by An and said, "Mother, I forgot to introduce you. This is your daughter-in-law, An."
The old lady looked at An, her expression was a little strange, but she immediately changed into a decent smile: "Okay."
Then Rong's mother handed over a box, and the old lady handed it to An, which was considered a meeting gift. An had already entered the family and gave birth to Song Yangjing, so this matter was already set in stone.
An took the box from the old lady, bowed, and said softly, "Thank you, mother." An was born in the northwest, so how could she speak with the accent of a girl from the south of the Yangtze River? The An family must have specially hired someone to teach her in order to help the An family prosper.
Sure enough, after hearing what An said, the old lady became even more unhappy. Although the old lady's expression and displeasure were fleeting, everyone in the room caught it.
