Chapter 37 The Father and Daughter Meet
After Cheng Hanbai came back from Prince De's Mansion, Xiang Jin immediately pestered him with questions, but she didn't ask whether the prince was interested in her.Xiang Jin couldn't help but complain that her elder brother was useless and not devoted to her.Temporarily gave up the idea of ​​going to see the prince.

Besides, ever since my aunt knew that the master was going to come back to take a rest on Tiankuang Festival, my aunt Pan Xiuying came to the old lady’s room every day to have a refreshing break:
"Aunt, since you brought me into this family, I have worked hard to take care of the house for more than ten years. My daughter has been raised and she is well-behaved, sensible, gentle and beautiful. If it weren't for Xiang Jin to earn a good future, I would I will work hard by my aunt's side without complaint, and I will take care of you till the end of my life without any hesitation. I am doing this all for the sake of the master's children!" Mrs. Pan burst into tears.

"Now that the master has finally come back, my aunt asked him to carry his niece and let her enter the Cheng family's ancestral grave and find a good home. Moreover, there has never been a mistress in the Cheng mansion, and there are two unmarried girls in the mansion. Let others see the joke and say that the girls in our house are not brought up by our legitimate mothers!"

Pan Xiuying's last sentence moved the old lady somewhat.

This year's Tiankuang Festival has become worth looking forward to. Cheng Yu is going back to Beijing to report on his work. Prince De and Yao County are going back to Beijing to express their gratitude. They are looking forward to their father, their son, their status, and their sister's relationship.Before all of this came, Haitang received Xie San's letter first.

"The border is very difficult, and I found so many mistakes during this trip, which makes me angry! Now we have passed Xuanfu, Jizhou, Liaodong, and Datong, and we will wait for a day of repairs before heading west. It is not terrible to eat in the open air, but to be heartbroken. It must be there. Return to Beijing before the Qiqiao Festival! Wait." Haitang sighed, folded the letter, and put it in the wooden box. This was the third letter, and Xie San's heartache seemed to have been passed on to her.

At this time, Prince Duan had already passed Taiyuan Town and headed for Yansui.In the past month, King Duan and his party encountered two Tatar sneak attacks. Since they were both impromptu attacks, the fighting was not intense.However, Ling Xing, Ling Guang and Ling Chen, who were on their first expedition, were very excited.

This time, King Duan and his party consisted of 27 people. In addition to ten guards and fourteen soldiers, there were also Feng Mingze and the doctor Tang Yu.Tang Yu is actually the young master of the Jianghu Tang Sect and a good friend of Xie Ruitang. In order to facilitate communication, he calls him the doctor of the government.

In addition to seeing a doctor, Tang Yu is also good at researching hidden weapons. He and Mingze met each other late, and worked together, and designed a few hairpins that could shoot silver needles, bracelets that could hide poison, and so on.

King Duan was also very interested. He just waited until he went back and found the best gold, silver and jade to make it.

Ling Feng brought these people out just to make them adapt to the rapid march.It must be a quick march!The prince's thoughts are all written on his face, and there are three words all over his face: Miss my girl!

Ling Xue held a straw stick in her mouth and lay on the dirt pile with Ling Feng to watch: "What a good thing! The prince has married the princess, will it be your turn next? The snacks made by the princess are so delicious... I want to eat them... …”

Ling Feng gave him a hard elbow!

Just when Prince Duan was thinking about his wife and the guards were thinking about the snacks made by the princess, the Tenkuang Festival was ushered in Kyoto.

On the afternoon before the Tiankuang Festival, all the family members of the Cheng family were waiting at the second gate. The master was coming back.Han Bai pulled Haitang to the front: "The person daddy wants to see the most is you! When he heard that you came home, he hid under the quilt and cried several times!"

Haitang rolled her eyes in disbelief: "Is it you who cried several times?"

While talking, there was a commotion at the outer door, and the housekeeper shouted outside: "The master is back, the master is back!"

Cheng Hanbai, a tall man, stepped out of the outer courtyard and greeted him.After a while, a group of people came in with Cheng Yu in his arms. His eyes fell directly on Haitang and he looked up and down several times: "Is it Haitang?"

Haitang quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Dad! My daughter Haitang is back!"

Cheng Yu quickly helped her up and couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at her face which was very similar to his wife's.Han Bai quickly supported his father: "Father, you should smile when my sister comes back. Why are you crying?" He winked at Haitang again.

When Haitang saw it, she burst into tears and smiled, and also came over to help her father to go to the inner hall.

Grandma was already waiting in the inner hall. Cheng Yu hurried over to see his mother. Mother and son had mixed feelings again.

After Pan Xiuying was so busy, she finally got to see the master. She couldn't help but look shy and bowed to the master.

The population of the Cheng Mansion was not large, but during this period, a young lady was added to the family. The young master stayed at home for more than a month, and now even the master is back, and the guards and soldiers have filled the entire house.People were coming and going in the front and back yards, and it was actually more lively than the Chinese New Year.

"Cheng Li, go and make arrangements. Clean up the other courtyard and let the guards and soldiers live there. The young lady lives here. Don't let those rough guys rush in." The master explained.Now that there is a legitimate lady in the house, the arrangements will be different from previous years.

What are you waiting for?Han Bai raised his feet and went out to take command. He took a group of men directly to the old house in the west of the city. After taking a look at the environment, he asked Cheng Wencheng and the two of them to order some training equipment. They would stay for another month and let Yu Lang, the captain of the guard, take care of it. With them, you can't just drink and cause trouble every day.Cheng Li also asked someone to quickly deliver bedding and utensils without mentioning them.

In the Cheng Mansion, a large table was set up for the dinner, and there was no need to separate the men and women. The old lady and the gentleman sat in the middle, with Cheng Hanbai and Cheng Haitang on both sides. Cheng Xiangjin sat next to Haitang, and Pan Xiuying stood behind the old lady and the gentleman to serve the dishes.

Cheng Xiangjin was full of resentment again, she used to be the one who sat beside her father and acted like a spoiled child, but now his father didn't even have time to look at her more, the eyes seemed to grow on Cheng Haitang!
After dinner, Cheng Yu took Haitang and asked her in detail about her circumstances and experiences over the years. He held up the line of bloody words written by Yao and his eyes were red with tears.The more I look at this eldest daughter, the more I fall in love with her, and I wish I could turn back time and live it all over again.

Early the next morning, Haitang got up early and went to the kitchen to make fish porridge, siomai, shrimp dumplings and carrot cakes.Grandmother and father tasted everything and were amazed at Haitang's good craftsmanship, while elder brother opened his mouth to eat with a smile on his face, praising his younger sister for her ingenuity, thinking to herself that this younger sister should not marry early, otherwise she would be so cheap, which brat!
This morning General Cheng was going to take the Major General into the palace to thank him, and he was out the door soon.Outside the palace gate, I happened to see Prince De leading the crown prince out. Cheng and his son came forward to greet him. The crown prince was a step behind and said in the ear of the major general: "My sister has also arrived in Kyoto. Today we are enjoying the red and green temple fair. Let's take her with her." Sister, are you going to go shopping?"

The Major General agreed without thinking: "At three quarters noon, Lianyunge, West City!"

Fifteen: Return my high-cold prince!
Cheng Dan: There is a conspiracy!
