The prince returned to the yard and saw Mrs. Shizi and the children talking. He instantly put away his irritability. As long as the wife is safe, this is enough.
After the first day of the first year, the second day of the first year came and in a blink of an eye, it was the third year of the first year.
On this day, Qin Fang and Han Zhen rode on horses, Yang Haiyan and Yang Dahua rode in a donkey cart and Mother Lian followed and Kun Shi was driving the donkey cart.
The closer he got to Yonghe Hou's mansion, the more nervous Yang Dahua became. If it was before, when she was still in Yang's house, she would not be nervous when she went to someone else's house. Because it was a maid at that time, just follow.
However, she also had no chance to go to someone else's house. And now, she is Han Zhen's daughter-in-law and she is worried about embarrassing Han Zhen, so she is nervous.
Yang Dahua looked at Yang Haiyan next to her and saw her calm expression.
Yang Haiyan was really not nervous. After the banquet at the General's Mansion, she was not nervous at all about going to Yonghe Hou's Mansion. However, she didn't like going to Yonghe Hou's mansion, or rather, she didn't like going around. She didn't like the ancient bureaucracy, the ancient class division and the system of salute every person she saw.
This is also the reason why she didn't see any of the palace maids in the slave shop.
She is not an ancient person and it is not uncommon to have a relationship with the imperial ruler. It's not as good as Qin Fang's steady presence in front of the Thousand Commander, in this Yongzhou boundary, it is considered a little power. When he come to an age in the future, he will be discharged from the army and they will return to Qin Fang's hometown to be a master.
Like him, who was discharged from the army at the frontier, there used to be soldiers of the imperial rank, so don't be too comfortable returning to the countryside.
The donkey cart stopped, only to hear an unfamiliar voice saying: "Captain Qin, Captain Han, you came."
Qin Fang and Han Zhen dismounted, Qin Fang said: "Cheng Guard Chief."
Qin Fang knew this Cheng Guard Chief and was the confidant of the prince. On that day, it was the confidant of the prince who led the guards of Yonghe Hou's mansion to search for the young master in the county, deliberately making the movement louder, hoping that the barbarian would reveal their fault and then he and General Ao searched in secret again.
Therefore, Qin Fang knew him.
Guard Cheng said, "You two..General Ao has already arrived."
General Ao lived in the county seat and it was only a short walk from the Hou residence.
Madam Lian has already got off the donkey cart: "Madam."
Yang Haiyan got out of the donkey cart, supported her hand and stepped down on the low stool. Next was Yang Dahua, who was also supported by Mama Lian. After all, Yang Haiyan's status was higher than her, so it was not suitable for her to be supported.
Chief Guard Cheng: "Several people, please."
A group of people entered the Hou Mansion and there was a maid waiting inside: "Qin Ruren, do you still recognize this old slave?"
Yang Haiyan smiled and said, "I recognize it naturally. I haven't seen you for a few days. You are in good spirits."
Mammy said, "I know you're coming, but this old servant doesn't want to dress up." Then she said to Yang Dahua, "This is Mrs. Han, right? It's been hard work all the way here."
Yang Dahua also smiled: "It's not hard work, thank you for your concern."
Although she did not learn the etiquette and rules as well as Yang Haiyan and was a little nervous, she was still able to handle it. After all, when he was in Yang's residence, he often encountered powerful mothers.
Next, Mammy took Yang Haiyan and others to the inner courtyard and Chief Guard Cheng took Qin Fang and others to the Prince's side.
Seeing Mrs. Shizi again, she looks a lot thinner than the first time they met. Her son was kidnapped for five days and she didn't know how to survive these five days, so she lost weight. But seeing Yang Haiyan and Yang Dahua, her eyes were full of gratitude.
Mrs. Jiang came early and at this moment she is also next to Mrs. Shizi.
Yang Haiyan: "The concubine has seen the wife of the prince and it is pleasant to see you too Mrs. Jiang"
Yang Dahua: "The woman of the people has seen the wife of the prince and it is pleasant to see Mrs. Jiang."
Mrs. Shizi went over, supported one person with one hand and lifted them up: "You two are welcome, come and sit here quickly."
Compared with the dignity and grace that day in the General's Mansion, today is much more cordial.
After Yang Haiyan and Yang Dahua were seated, Mrs. Shizi said, "Lanping, there are guests at home, go and ask the son and the girl to come over to greet you."
"Yes."
After a while, a little boy and a little girl came in . The little girl held the little boy: "Mother."
Mrs. Shizi beckoned: "Come here, you have seen this Qin Ruren and this Mrs. Han. Their two husbands are Wangtao's saviors."
Upon hearing this, the little girl and boy respectfully bowed to Yang Haiyan and Yang Dahua: "I have seen Qin Ruren and Mrs. Han."
It stands to reason that this girl and the young master have noble identities, so naturally they don't have to bow down to Yang Haiyan and Yang Dahua. But the first lady made Qin Fang and Han Zhen's life-saving grace to the young master, so it made sense to ask them to salute.
Yang Haiyan hurriedly got up to avoid, Yang Dahua also got up, but because she was pregnant, she was slower.
Yang Haiyan: "It was the first time I saw the girl and the son and I didn't know what the girl and the son liked, so I made a little doll by myself. I hope the girl and the son will not dislike it."
The little boy blinked: "What little doll?" Between Yang Haiyan and Yang Dahua, he naturally looked at Yang Haiyan, probably because children like beautiful people.
The little girl also stared at Yang Haiyan curiously.
For children, as long as there is a gift to receive, they are happy.
Madam Shizi looked at it and shook her head involuntarily.
Yang Haiyan looked at Yang Dahua: "Sister Dahua."
Yang Dahua took out a package: "The girl's gift is with me, the girl will open it and see?"
The little girl looked at Mrs. Shizi. After Mrs. Shizi agreed, she opened the package. When she saw the flower doll inside, her eyes were indeed bright. She has received real flowers and veils embroidered with flowers, but this is the first time she has seen such a flower doll. "Mother." She looked at Mrs. Shizi.
Mrs. Shizi smiled and said, "What should you tell Mrs. Han?"
The little girl said crisply: "Thank you Mrs. Han, I like your gift very much. But what are these two straps for?"
Yang Dahua said: "This can be carried on the back." Saying that, he helped the little girl carry it up, "That's it."
The little girl turned her head around with the little flowers on her back. Although she couldn't see what was behind her, she could still see some.
Mrs. Shizi said: "This is quite novel. The students are covered with book baskets and my daughter is carrying flowers."
The little boy looked at the flower. As a little man, he didn't like this flower. But: "What about my present?" Didn't they say that he and his sister have both?
Yang Haiyan smiled: "Yours is here, it's from this package, I gave it to you, do you want to open it yourself?"
The little boy took the initiative and said, "I'll open it myself." He opened the package three or two times, and then, "Wow...wow...it's a little tiger."
After speaking, he picked up the little tiger doll, "Yes Little tiger, I like little tigers." He also saw the straps, "Quick, quick, I will also carry it." In front of boys, there is nothing that a little tiger can't solve.
Seeing that her son liked it so much, Mrs. Shizi couldn't help but said, "You are really interested." One gave her daughter a flower doll and the other a little tiger doll. "This doll is very interesting, how did you come up with it?" She had never seen such a doll before. When she saw it for the first time, not to mention that children liked it, even older people would like it.
Yang Dahua said: "This is what Haiyan thought. She is smart and the women are also thanks to her for her advice."
Mrs. Shizi looked at Yang Haiyan: "Oh?"
Yang Haiyan said: "When the concubine was in the capital, I saw many vivid clay figurines on the street, including little boys, little girls, monkeys, etc., so I thought, if the clay figurines can be squeezed into such a full shape, then Could we do it with cloth? So I tried it."
Mrs. Shizi recalled: "Speaking of which, I also played with clay figurines when I was young, and that was more than ten years ago. However, you will still think about it."
Mrs. Jiang: "My children especially liked clay figurines when they were young and they had to buy them every time they saw them."
Mrs. Shizi here intentionally put down her figure, Yang Haiyan is a knowledgeable person, Yang Dahua and Mrs. Ao Jiang occasionally interject a few words and the chat is quite pleasant.
As for the male guest, the prince chatted with General Ao, Qin Fang and Han Zhen for a while, and then took them to the stable.
The prince pointed to the horse over there: "This is the BMW (horse) I got with a lot of effort. Although it's not a sweaty horse, it's a high-class one. A sweaty horse travels 800 miles a day, just like our ordinary war horses travel every day. Three hundred li, the slightly better one can travel four hundred li a day, and further up are the horses used to convey military information, which can travel five hundred li a day, and these two horses can travel six hundred li a day."
The black, shiny horse looks very handsome.
Qin Fang didn't understand horses before and of course he doesn't understand now. But he is someone who owns a horse anyway, so he also has some understanding of the quality of horses. When he saw this black horse, he couldn't help but say, "Good horse."
Han Zhen didn't say a word, but he couldn't help but went forward and touched it a few times. Before he could touch its fur, he was roared with contempt by the horse.
Made everyone laugh.
Shizi explained: "You have to feed them with food. If you are familiar with them, you will be willing to let you touch them." It seemed that Shizi(prince) was also contempt before. Then the prince said, "These two horses are sent to you today. Thank you for your kindness to save your life. At the same time, I hope that you can bring these two horses to make more illustrious achievements. You must know this kind of BMW, Only on the battlefield can it show its heroic appearance."
Qin Fang and Han Zhen: "Many thanks to the prince." Since the prince mentioned the battlefield, they did not refused.
Prince: "Go, let's go back and continue to discuss things."
After lunch
The three families left, Qin Fang and Han Zhen rode on the horse sent by the prince, while Yang Haiyan and Yang Dahua each held a box, which was given by the prince's wife.
When they got home, the private guards saw their master's horse and they all wanted to touch it, but the horse also had a temper and when they saw them coming to touch it, it yelled at them a few times.
Kun Shi: "This BMW has a big temper and it's not good under the adults."
Qin Fang said: "That's not true. I fed it a lot of delicious food in the stables of Hou's mansion before I mixed it with it."
Yang Haiyan answered: "Isn't that the stupid son of the landlord's family?"
Madam Lian was curious: "Madam, what does the stupid son of the landlord's family say?"
Yang Haiyan explained with a smile: "Whoever feeds it will go with whoever it is. Isn't this a stupid son?"
When everyone heard it, this was very reasonable.
Huang Huzi took the opportunity and said, "My lord, can my subordinates apply to ride your old horses?" Your lord has a BMW, can you still ride the old horse?
The other private guards heard Huang Huzi's question and said, "Sir, we also want to apply too."
Qin Fang: "…"
Yang Haiyan: "Why don't you buy two more horses, the husband has a horse, and Captain Kun also has a horse. Buy two more, one for Huang Huzi and the others and the other one was to use as a carriage. In March, we will see If we can go back to your hometown, donkey carts will not work."
When Qin Fang heard it, it made sense: "Okay, I'll listen to you." But he would use his wife's private room again. No, I have to call Han Zhen to sweep a batch of meat on the mountain.
Looking at these black horses, Yang Haiyan was already thinking about what to prepare for it. Pretty things will be loved by everyone, but: "Master, have you given it a name?"
