farmer's wife

Chapter 134 Inquiry
"Yes, she is the eldest aunt of the Xiao family. But since the disturbance at her house was dealt with by the village last time, she only dares to fight with words now." Xiao Lie said calmly.

"Uncle Wu, let's go. Don't get discouraged by this kind of person."

"Let's go." Uncle Wu took a last look at the courtyard, turned around and left with Xiao Lie.

Ye An drove the carriage back to the city steadily and quickly.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Xiao Lie helped her down, and Fu Yan ran back to the yard.

"Grandma Shi? Is Nunuo awake?"

Nuo Nuo's crib was moved to the main room, and Granny Shi was guarding her while she was doing needlework.

Seeing Madam coming back, Grandma Shi put down her things and stepped aside: "No, it will only take you more than an hour to come and go. Xiao Nuo Nuo is still asleep."

Fu Yan heaved a sigh of relief, and didn't go forward. She took a look from a distance and said in a low voice, "I'll go clean my hands and face, change into my clothes, and then hug her."

She tossed and tossed outside for a long time, and there was a lot of dust on her clothes.

Not long after changing clothes, Nuo Nuo woke up crying and humming.Fu Yan hugged her, cleaned her up, fed the child, and handed her to Granny Shi.

Xiao Jian came up and teased her with the little puppet.

For a while, the main room was filled with Nunuuo's "giggle" voice from time to time and Xiao Jian's funny childish words, even Uncle Wu, who was sitting on the side talking to Xiao Lie, couldn't help but look over.

After Qingming, Uncle Wu planned to leave for Beijing first.

Although he had already sent a letter to the master about the itinerary of this trip, he still had to report it in person in the end.

Besides, Xiao Lie's family won't go back with them anytime soon, and it's useless to stay any longer.

Today, Fu Yan cooks in person and prepares a table of sumptuous dishes with Shi Yang.

Ye An ate without raising his head.

Unexpectedly, the cakes at Mrs. Biao's house are delicious, and the meals are even more amazing!
I can't say when I can taste it in the future, so eat more!
Uncle Wu had tasted several big dishes, and boasted with a smile: "Mrs. Xiao's craftsmanship is endlessly memorable."

"Uncle Wu is absurd." You can't eat any kind of jade plate delicacies in Yongyi's mansion, but Fu Yan is also happy for Uncle Wu's face.

Xiao Lie and You Rongyan greeted Uncle Wu to try other dishes: "My daughter-in-law's cooking skills are not what I praise, there are not many restaurants in Shizhou City that can compare!"

Shi Yang joked, "Master, what about me?"

"You, you have to learn from your master again."

"Okay." Shi Yang scratched his head and smiled.

After the meal, Ye An and Xiao Jian half-lyed on the chair together, lazily.I am too full.

Shi Yang took out the cake that Fu Yan had ordered in advance and handed it to Ye An.

Ye An sat down and took it.He looked up at Uncle Wu and Fu Yan.

Fu Yan said gently: "We don't have any expensive gifts to bring. These are homemade pastries and green balls. Uncle Wu, you can eat them on the way. I prepared some extra. If it breaks when I arrive in Yunjing, I will throw it away." Alright."

As she spoke, she took out another small bundle, "There are four sachets in here, and I was in a hurry, so I could only get these few out. Give them to the uncle, princess, and cousins ​​in the house."

The sachet is small and exquisite, and Fu Yan specially went to Liji cloth shop to choose the best silk and satin for tailoring, and embroidered double-sided embroidery.Because I still don't know the personalities and preferences of everyone there, the patterns on the embroidery work have chosen the common styles of Li Chao.

Uncle Wu took the small cloth bag solemnly: "Don't worry, I will hand over the sachet inside to the master and princess myself."

Fu Yan smiled.

They should have prepared their minds, as to whether they are willing to accept it, it is beyond their discretion.

Xiao Lie also wrote a letter and asked Uncle Wu to bring it back to Ye Zhuo.

The uncle and nephew communicated for the first time, and Xiao Lie didn't know where to start, so he wrote down some things about his mother, and he only briefly mentioned his current life, saying that everything was fine.

Uncle Wu put away all the things prepared by the Xiao family one by one, got up and prepared to leave.

Fu Yan hesitated to speak.

Uncle Wu's sharp eyes saw her expression and asked, "Madam has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

Xiao Lie also looked at her.

This sentence has been rolling in Fu Yan's heart for several days.

Seeing that Uncle Wu was about to leave, Fu Yan finally couldn't bear the anxiety in her heart.

She shook the handkerchief in her hand and looked at Uncle Wu: "I don't know if Uncle Wu knows the Zhao Mansion that returned to Beijing from Shizhou City last year?"

Uncle Wu tilted his head: "Zhao Mansion?"

"Yes! I used to be the magistrate of Shizhou, but I was promoted and transferred back to the capital last year."

Uncle Wu quickly went through the relationship between the characters in Beijing, and he grabbed a glimpse of the impression and asked: "But Zhao Qingsong, Mr. Zhao?"

"Yes! It's him!" Fu Yan stared at Uncle Wu with hope in his eyes.

"Master Zhao is currently the right servant of the household department." Uncle Wu thought of Fu Yan's background, and said, "Master Zhao has a bright future." It is said that Master Zhao and the prime minister are related by marriage, and being transferred back to Beijing last year was also the way of the prime minister.

It's just that their Duke Yongyi's mansion has nothing to do with the prime minister's lineage, and they know very little about Mr. Zhao.

Fu Yan didn't care about Zhao Qingsong's future.

She just wanted to hear some news about Zhao Yunyan.

Fu Yan had a glimmer of expectation: "The eldest lady of the Zhao family, has Uncle Wu heard about it?"

Uncle Wu shook his head, he didn't even know Zhao Qingsong, let alone a lady in his house.

Fu Yan's expectations were in vain, and she lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in them.

After a while, she forced a smile again: "It's nothing, I'm just asking casually. It doesn't matter if Uncle Wu doesn't know."

Xiao Lie understood the importance of Zhao Yunyan and others in her heart, so she approached Fu Yan silently and supported her.

Uncle Wu frowned and pondered for a while, then said to Fu Yan: "Mrs. Xiao, when I return to Beijing this time, I'll go and find out for you. If I have any news, can I have someone bring it back to you?"

Fu Yan couldn't help but laugh: "Really...Really?! Will it be too much trouble for Uncle Wu?"

"It's nothing. Beijing is well-informed. If you send someone to pay attention, you can know a little bit."

"Then Fu Yan will thank Uncle Wu first." Fu Yan saluted softly, even if she could only get a few words, it was extremely important to her.

As long as she knows that they are living well, she will be satisfied in her heart.

Xiao Lie also thanked Uncle Wu together.

Seeing off Uncle Wu, Fu Yan couldn't suppress her joy.

"Brother Alie, I'll know about Yunyan soon, and I don't know if she's alright."

"No, Yunyan liked the pouch handkerchiefs I made before, so I have to prepare them first!"

With that said, Fu Yan excitedly rummaged through boxes and cabinets looking for cloth needlework.

Xiao Lie looked at her with a smile and let her make trouble.

He knew the joy in her heart.

On the other side, before leaving Shizhou City, Uncle Wu called Ye An and gave him instructions in a low voice.

Ye An put on a straight face, firmly remembering that he was out of the yard to handle errands.

The two were delayed for one night, and only set off for Beijing the next day.
