farmer's wife

Chapter 143
Speeding up the horse and rushing on the road, the letter was finally safely delivered to Young Master Biao. Ye An heaved a sigh of relief, but felt dizzy and unable to stand up.

"Shi Yang, come here, take Ye An to eat something before washing and resting." Xiao Lie walked outside the door and shouted to Shi Yang in the kitchen.

Shi Yang walked over quickly and held Ye An back: "Master, don't worry, I will take care of Ye An."

He looked down at Ye An: "Ye An, do you want to eat scallion noodles?"

Ye An's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

It was because he thought about the taste of Xiao's food that he rushed to take over the task of coming to Shizhou City.

The two walked away slowly, Xiao Lie closed the door and came to sit down in the big study, opened the letter and read it slowly.

……

Before dinner, Fu Yan came back with a small basket full of smiles.

She went to Liji Cloth Shop, sent over the patterns she had painted recently, and settled the dividends from the previous few months by the way.

Ye An had a good night's sleep, and at this time was eating some snacks in the main room accompanied by Shi Yang, chatting about the fun things in Beijing.

Seeing Fu Yan come in, Ye An stood up and said, "Mrs. Biao."

"Ye An is here?" Fu Yan was a little surprised when he saw him at home.

Ye An patted his head: "The mansion sent me to deliver the letter."

There was a gleam in Fu Yan's eyes suddenly, is there any news in Beijing?

Before she could ask again, Nuo Nuo felt something when she heard Mother's voice, and cried out with a "wow", her little hand was still stretching forward.

"Are you awake?" Fu Yan came over and saw Nuo Nuo's wrinkled face.

Xiao Lie was hugging Nunuuo who woke up to play with her just now, but Nuonuo pursed her mouth listlessly, she was hungry.

Fu Yan hurriedly hugged her daughter.

Xiao Lie handed the child to her, and said helplessly: "I just woke up for a while, and I haven't been in a good mood. She cried when you came back, maybe she was hungry."

"Well, give it to me. Little crying bag~" Fu Yan nodded her daughter's little nose, and laughed and cursed affectionately.

She got up and wanted to go back to the East Wing. She didn't have time to greet Ye An, so she could only hurriedly say: "Ye An, sit down and rest for a while, dinner will be served right away."

Ye An nodded and sat down again.Shi Yang and Xiao Lie both listened to him telling the events in Beijing vividly and vividly.

After dinner, after putting Nuo Nuo to sleep, Fu Yan had time to ask Xiao Lie about today's affairs.

"A letter from Beijing?" Fu Yan took a shower and walked over in a light middle coat.

Xiao Lie put down the book of war in his hand, got up and pulled her to sit on the small couch beside him, took the cloth towel from Fu Yan's hand and gently wiped her wet hair.

Xiao Lie: "It's a letter from my uncle."

Fu Yan leaned against him relaxedly: "What did you say?"

"Uncle wrote and wanted to meet us. His birthday in October just happened to invite us to go there together, and then we will worship grandma together."

Fu Yan held Xiao Lie's big hand: "Brother Alie, do you want to go?"

Xiao Lie was silent for a while, and after a long while, he said in a low voice: "I want to visit her relatives for my mother, and we will come back after paying respects to my grandmother."

Fu Yan said softly: "Go if you want, Nuo Nuo will be more than seven months old, we can go out with some care."

Xiao Lie put down the cloth towel and hugged her from behind: "Ah Yan."

The two were silent but warm.

As her hair gradually dried, Fu Yan patted Xiao Lie's arm and asked, "Is there anything about Yunyan in the letter?"

Xiao Lie straightened up, walked to the small desk and fetched another letter.

Xiao Lie: "Uncle Wu made some inquiries in secret, and here is the information he heard. You can take a look."

There was only a thin sheet of letter paper, Fu Yan glanced at ten lines and read it quickly.

She lowered the letter in her hand.

Xiao Lie had already expected that she would be a little sad, so he squatted in front of her and looked up at her disappointed face: "It's okay, Miss Zhao's family is doing well now. Don't think too much about it."

Fu Yan sighed lightly, how could this stop her from thinking too much? !
There are a few sentences on the letter paper, summarizing the little news that Uncle Wu heard.

But it is precisely these scattered news, which makes people worry a lot when they are studied in depth.

Uncle Wu said in the letter that Zhao Yunyan's reputation in Beijing is not obvious, but the third daughter of the Zhao family is said to be quite talented in the circle of civil servants and daughters.

Uncle Wu sent people to inquire about it and found out that the eldest lady of the Zhao family was going to visit her natal family, the old lady of the Zheng family at the Guozijian Jijiu. It happened that the aunt of the Zheng family who was married to the Northwest was seriously ill. The old lady was very old. , Once the heartache to pass out.Except for the two married daughters of the Zheng family, the third generation is all grandchildren. Zhao Yunyan took the place of her grandmother and went to the Northwest aunt's house to take care of the sick.

If it's just like this, you can also praise the little girl for her love and righteousness, and her filial piety.Fu Yan wouldn't worry too much if she knew about it.

However, Uncle Wu added several other pieces of news that he heard in the letter.

First, I heard that the old lady of the Zheng family intends to marry this granddaughter for her eldest grandson, but the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zheng family disagrees.The eldest grandson of the Zheng family is only eighteen years old, and has already passed the provincial examination to become a juren.

The grandson of the Zheng family can be said to be the most outstanding child in the third generation of the Zheng family.However, the oral marriage in the follow-up was over.

The second thing is about the Zhao family.

Zhao Yunyan's father, Zhao Qingsong, followed the way of Prime Minister Fang Shuzhi, so he was able to make several leaps and bounds, and served as the right servant of the household department.The household department was originally a party of the prime minister.

The prime minister's younger brother, the youngest son of the Fang family's second wife, was looking at the Zhao family's girl, and later decided to be the second concubine daughter of the Zhao family.Because she has not yet reached the age of Ji, and the elder sister has not yet married, she just made a marriage contract and remarried in two years.

As for the youngest son of the Fang family's second wife, he is already a "well-known" dude in the capital at such a young age, full of five poisons.Except for those who want to climb high and don't care about reputation, other famous families who understand his style avoid it.

……

When the Zhao family returned to the capital for the first time, their reputation outside the city was not obvious, and naturally they had no way of knowing about the affairs of the cabinet in the backyard.

Therefore, Uncle Wu spent a lot of manpower and thought in order to find out the news of several families.Among them, Ye Zhuo, the brave man, and Qi Tong, the princess, both contributed.The letters from the capital were delayed for a long time.

Even though Uncle Wu never said whether there was any hidden entanglement behind it, Fu Yan still felt worried after reading it.

Seemingly unrelated pieces of news, behind them seem to be connected by cause and effect.

Can she guess that Zhao Yunyan chose to go to the northwest to avoid the dirty things in the mansion because he was forced to do so?
The eldest daughter of a second-rank official in the capital was forced to stay away from the capital.

If Mrs. Xian was still there, how could Zhao Yunyan be in such a situation.

Mrs. Fang of the Zhao family really had a good plan.

Fu Yan's eyes were red: "Yunyan once said that she could handle it with the support of her family. But..."

She was just a seventeen-year-old girl.
