Chapter 380 Li Wan is the Host
Wu Tianyou took the letter, looked at the seal on it, and then said, "Go and turn down all the visitors outside. Tell them that my father is not feeling well and will not see any guests today."
Wu Hai responded and walked out of the room. Afterwards, Wu Tianyou took out the letter and read it for a while.
He opened the lampshade beside him and burned the letter, then he frowned and began to think!
"Zhen family?" Wu Tianyou talked to himself. After a long while, he went towards the back house.
When they arrived at the main hall of the back house, a woman was looking at a box of round pearls. When she saw Wu Tianyou coming in, she said happily, "Master, your fellow countryman is quite capable. Pearls like this are rare even in our hometown."
Wu Tianyou sat down and took the teacup from the maid, "You can leave first!"
Seeing Wu Tianyou sending the maid away, the woman asked curiously, "Master, is there anything wrong?"
"Tomorrow you will take the golden book to the palace and meet the imperial concubine!"
This woman was Wu Tianyou's legal wife and the biological mother of Concubine Wu in the palace, so she also had a third-rank imperial edict, and because of Concubine Wu, she also had a golden book that allowed her to enter the palace.
"What do you want to see your daughter for?" asked Sun.
Wu Tianyou's expression darkened. "I've told you so many times not to address her casually. You must address her as Imperial Concubine."
The woman nodded quickly, "Doesn't it make us feel closer to each other by calling her daughter? Besides, the imperial concubine is also my flesh and blood. Is there anyone who dares to say anything?"
Wu Tianyou really had no way to deal with his wife. If she hadn't given birth to a good daughter, he would have divorced her long ago.
"You don't need to care so much, just remember what I said."
"Then what should I say when I enter the palace to see the imperial concubine?" asked Sun Yi.
Wu Tianyou stood up and whispered to Sun for a while, and the woman nodded, "Master, don't worry, I have remembered everything! I will definitely pass the message to the imperial concubine."
…
In the backyard of Rongguo Mansion, next to Wang Xifeng's courtyard on the east side is Li Wan's courtyard.
On weekdays, Li Wan's courtyard was usually quite quiet, but today it was extremely lively! Early in the morning, Jia Cong sent out a carriage to pick up Daiyu, Baochai, Xiangyun and others. Baoqin also came to the mansion in the morning. Together with Xing Xiuyan who was in the East Road Courtyard, all the sisters were gathered together for the first time.
"Why isn't third brother here?" Xiangyun entered the yard, looked around and didn't see Jia Cong, so she asked immediately.
Baoqin on the side said jokingly, "There are sisters all over the courtyard , but Sister Yun is thinking about her brother. It seems that we need to talk to the ancestors and see if we can discuss it with the uncle of the Shi family. If Sister Yun marries into the mansion, won't the sisters be able to be together all day long?"
Xichun took Baoqin's hand and asked, "Sister Baoqin, will you also marry Third Brother?"
All of a sudden, Baoqin's face turned red first!
"Let's have fun in the yard for a while and then go in when it's time for dinner!" Li Wan, the host, instructed the maids in the yard to take care of the children, and asked Suyun and Biyue to take out the snacks and dried fruits that had been prepared for everyone to eat.
"Have the eldest sister-in-law from the East Mansion, Keqing, and Yuanyang not come yet?" Li Wan looked around and said, "Biyue, go and ask them. Yuanyang and the others said they would come yesterday. Also, bring Qingwen and the other maids over directly. Brother Cong will probably come later, so there is no need to let them wait in the courtyard."
Bi Yue agreed and hurried away.
"Hasn't my second sister-in-law come yet?" Daiyu asked.
"I had Ping'er send a message early in the morning, saying that I would be busy for a while and would rush over before noon to have lunch together."
The girls were naturally very happy to be together with great difficulty, and they gathered into several groups to play and have fun. Baochai took care of the sisters, Daiyu talked to Yingchun, Baoqin, Xichun and Xiangyun ran around, and Xing Xiuyun also helped Li Wan with the chores.
After a long while, Youshi, Keqing and Yuanyang from the East Palace also arrived. A group of children came forward to play around Yuanyang, and Daiyu and Xiangyun called her sister-in-law, which made Yuanyang shy but happy. Youshi and Keqing pulled Li Wan aside to talk, but Li Wan always felt that the few people who used to have a tacit understanding and close relationship were now unable other.
They were all widows, and they had often confided in each other before, but where was the slightest bit of resentment in the expressions and words of Youshi and Keqing? For example, Youshi's original temperament was probably even more dull than her, but now she was also very talkative.
"It seems that after Brother Cong took over the East Palace, he has been very nice to my sister-in-law and niece-in-law." Yu thought to herself.
As for the rest, Li Wan didn't think much about it. After all, how could she have thought that these two people now had hope and support?
"I heard from Feng Lazi that you missed your son so much that you cried a few days ago?" Yu Shi pulled Li Wan aside and said teasingly.
Li Wan said somewhat embarrassedly, "I just listened to that poor fellow's nonsense. I just haven't seen Lan'er for a while, so I miss her a little."
"Aunt, why do you have to worry about Lang'er? Now Lang'er is studying hard in the Imperial College. What a blessing it is. Aunt, you know the situation in the Imperial College best. There are more great scholars and professors in it than in our clan school. Moreover, with the face of Third Uncle, Lang'er will never be excluded by others in the Imperial College." Keqing said to comfort him.
Li Wan nodded, "It's not that I'm worried, but Lan'er has always been by my side. Even if she was in the clan school, she was at least close to me and could come back for a few days every month. Now she's been gone for several months and rarely comes back."
"If you want Lan'er to come back to see me, it's not easy to say." Yu Shi smiled, "Others can't do it, but for the master, it's just a matter of a word. The Imperial College's chief priest is familiar with the master. If you want it badly, please ask the master to bring Lan'er back for two days, or take you to see her directly."
Upon hearing this, Li Wan hurriedly shook her head and said, "I was just idle and daydreaming at home. How could I let Lan'er's studies be delayed because of me?"
"In the future, if he can achieve academic success, we will have time to accompany each other."
When Youshi and Keqing listened to Li Wan's words, they felt a little envious. Although the situations of the three people were similar, Li Wan had a son.
But their status is no lower than that of Li Wan, the eldest grandson's wife of the Western Mansion, but they have no children .
"That enemy has asked me to have a pair of children several times. I think I need to think about it carefully. However, there is no rush. I have to let that enemy get married and have a legitimate child first!" At this moment, Youshi and Keqing couldn't help but think of the same topic...
