Episode 94 Sweet Dreams (Second Update)
In this way, early in the morning of the next day, everyone set off in a mighty manner.
However, the destination is the Shangguan Mansion in the capital first.
To this, Yan Jin and Situ Qing rarely agreed: boring.
But still go with the flow and follow along.
There was no delay on the way, and we arrived at Shangguan Fuzhi in two days.
Probably thought that Shangguan Mansion was boring, and when they arrived in the capital, Yan Jin and Situ Qing went back to their respective homes, looking for their own mothers.
Zhang Jing didn't follow either, saying that there were still some things he wanted to understand as soon as possible, so that he could go back to Shennvgou with them.
So, in the end, only Li Man's family and Shangguan Xue Suibo remained.
A group of people arrived at Shangguan Mansion at noon.
Different from the dilapidated and desolate people imagined, the current Shangguan Mansion has been simply repaired, including the gate tower has been replaced with a new one.
When they arrived, the steward of the mansion came out with a group of servants and servants.
It made Li Man and the others think they went to the wrong place.
In the end, it was the butler who explained that yes, His Royal Highness ordered them to wait here a few days ago, and now that the whole house is packed and they can move in with their bags, and the prince has already changed them into the Shangguan residence.
In other words, they will be servants of the Shangguan family in the future.
Li Man counted, there is a middle-aged butler, a middle-aged housekeeper, a middle-aged housekeeper, and six servants who are in charge of the kitchen, and twelve young and beautiful maids are in charge of taking care of them. The daily life of the sisters, and finally, there are ten young servants who are responsible for some chores in the house.
That adds up to thirty people.
She was a little dizzy, now the Shangguan family has no head of the family to make a living outside, who will pay the monthly payment of these people? Don't say it's still the prince Yandan.
They have already rehabilitated them, returned their house, sent these people away, and asked him to support these people... for a lifetime?
This seems too inappropriate.
This kindness is too heavy, and they will be overwhelmed.
Therefore, after discussing with the two sisters, Li Man and Shangguan Yu, they decided to dismiss these servants.
However, what I didn't expect was that the butler probably guessed what Sister Li Man was thinking, and said that all the previous shops of Shangguan's family would be returned.
Now, all the major shopkeepers have taken office, and the business is on the right track. It is only waiting for the two ladies to come back, and all parties will go to check.
Such a large piece of stuffed pie suddenly fell from the sky, and sisters Li Man were a little dazed.
However, a good family was lost just because of the emperor's words, and now only the two of them are left, even if the house, shop, and these servants are returned, the lost cannot be made up for.
In this regard, Li Man lamented the cruelty of the feudal dynasty, but she was still very grateful to Yan Dan himself for his care and thoughtfulness.
Therefore, after discussing with Shangguanxue, they decided to accept these. After all, the royal family also returned to their original owners, and these originally belonged to Shangguan's family.
Li Man and Shangguan Yu respectively lived in the courtyards where they lived when they were young.
Shangguanyu was very excited, as soon as he entered the room, seeing that the layout was the same as when he was a child, he immediately lay down on the pillow and cried.
Li Man, on the other hand, only has a vague image of this place, and her memory is not very deep, so she doesn't have much feeling.
On the other hand, when the Li family brothers entered the Shangguan Mansion, they didn't feel that big. After all, they had been in the Zhang Mansion and even Yanjin's Wang Mansion, and they felt that the rich people lived in the same place.
However, when I came to the place where Li Man lived, especially when I knew that the place where my daughter-in-law lived alone before, I felt something was wrong.
Her master bedroom alone is divided into several rooms, which is more than double the size of the old house where their brothers used to live, not to mention, there is a side room, a study room for her to write and study, a piano room for reading, There are also the houses of the maids and servants who take care of her food and daily life, and so on.
There is also a yard planted with exotic flowers and plants, which is clean, elegant, and filled with a comfortable fragrance.
"Daughter-in-law, did you live here before?" Li Shuman wandered around the garden and asked with infinite envy, "This place is too beautiful."
Originally, he thought that their new home in Shennvgou was already the best, but he didn't know that it couldn't be compared with this place at all.
"Oh, hehe." Li Man laughed dryly. Actually, where did she live in such a nice place? That was the original owner, Shangguan Yu.
Li Shu approached her suddenly, pressed against her ear, and said with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, the bed in the back room is also very big and comfortable."
"Have you ever slept?" Li Man really admired his speed.
Li Shu smiled, "I just tried it with my second brother, it's very strong, and it's so big, it's big enough for our family to sleep in."
"Cough." Li Man gave him a hasty look. There are still maids coming and going in the yard tidying things up. What would Li Shu think when he heard this?
"There are quite a lot of guest rooms here. At night, you and your brother can share one room as much as possible."
"Ah?" Li Shu was taken aback and screamed, "No, daughter-in-law, I want to sleep with you tonight."
The two little maids who were delivering tea into the room blushed when they heard this, and then ran away quickly.
From a distance, Li Man could still hear their crisp laughter.
Knowing that Li Man was thin-skinned, Li Shu also knew that the voice was a little louder just now, so he hurried to her side, trying to hug her and coax her, but she pushed her away.
"Go to bed at night
. "
After finishing speaking, regardless of his pestering, he ran into the house.
In her boudoir, Li Mo and Li Yan were sitting at the table, drinking tea in silence, while Li Hua was sitting on the small couch by the west window, drawing out two paintings from a pen holder shaped like a grape trellis. Come, appreciate it carefully.
Seeing Li Man come in, he held the handwriting and asked in surprise, "Man'er, is this your handwriting?"
These characters are vigorous, resolute and free and easy. At first glance, I thought it was written by a man, but after careful identification, I can still see that besides the vigorous and resolute, there is also a woman's gracefulness and roundness.
Moreover, the few pictures here are all like this. At first glance, it looks like the girl's usual handwriting exercises. There is a picture with traces of alterations on it.
This is Li Man's boudoir, so Li Hua naturally thought it was Li Man's handwriting.
However, he had seen Li Man's handwriting before, it was very delicate, and he could tell at a glance that it was written by a girl, but it was very different from the one on this paper.
Could it be that the daughter-in-law did it on purpose before? That's why Li Hua asked curiously.
Li Man glanced at the word, shook her head, "It's not mine."
"No?" Li Hua seemed a little disappointed, "It's in this pen." He reminded, afraid that his daughter-in-law might have forgotten it.
Li Man was taken aback, and then looked at the word:
Guan Guan Jujiu, in the continent of the river. A fair lady, a gentleman loves you.
Nymphaeum variegated, flowing from left to right. My fair lady, I long for it.
poo. Leisurely leisurely, tossing and turning.
…
Why are you so familiar? ?
Li Man suddenly remembered that she had seen the same handwriting and the same poem in Yan Jin's room, and she couldn't help being shocked.
What is this situation?
Could it be that the girl hidden in Yan Jin's box is the original owner, Shangguan Yu?
In other words, this kid secretly fell in love with his sister-in-law? That's why I stole the characters and hid them at home.
Ever since, Yan Jin's awkward and entangled emotions towards herself seemed to be explained.
Li Man made up his mind automatically.
Back then, Shangguan Yu was married to the crown prince Yan Bei, which made Yan Jin, who had been clinging to Yan Bei since he was a child, feel threatened. Therefore, he secretly found trouble with Shang Guan Yu in secret, and made this timid man a few times. The innocent little girl was bullied and cried.
The boy was very proud, but besides being proud, he gradually fell in love with this girl who cried when he was bullied, even he didn't know it.
He didn't want her to marry the prince's brother, and tried his best to stop her. He thought it was for the prince's brother, but in fact, maybe he didn't even realize that he was actually doing it for her.
So, when the case of the prince happened, even though he would bear the infamy, he still became the emperor's gun, just for her.
Letting her go was like letting him go.
Over the years, he has been indulging in the mire of painful self-blame and unable to extricate himself.
He felt sorry for the former prince brother, because even though he was unwilling, he still became a sharp sword for the emperor to deal with the prince. Even when the prince brother died, he did not help at all.
Yan Bei's death made him very irritated.
Under excessive self-blame, he gradually became Yanbei.
Therefore, on the night of lightning and thunder, Yan Jin became Yan Bei's incarnation.
As for himself, he held on to him almost childishly, and couldn't tell what to keep her for. In short, he had to keep her by his side.
Perhaps, it was Zeng Jin's hazy emotion at work.
She is Shangguanyu, she is the witness of the happy years he had, and he even liked her at that time.
Therefore, in order to get out of the current pain of self-separation, he must keep Shangguanyu.
Think about it, they are all poor people.
It should be said that the struggle for imperial power is so ruthless that even his own son can calculate?
Hey......
Putting away the small print, Li Man looked at several other pictures, the content was different, but the handwriting was the same, and one of them was the most vigorous, which was quite liked by Li Hua.
Li Hua said that if possible, he would really like to know the owner of this painting.
That's right, this is the only one among them that is different from the others, Li Man suddenly remembered a fragment in his memory.
In the afternoon, the bamboo leaves by the window rustled with the breeze.
A man as gentle as jade stuck behind her, holding her hand tightly, and wrote a poem on the paper stroke by stroke.
That's right, this is Yan Bei's character.
Li Man didn't tell Li Hua the truth, Si Ren is dead, these calligraphy and paintings are all the happy past he had with Shang Guanyu, she didn't want to touch them.
He rolled the calligraphy and painting again, just like before, and gently put it in the pen pot.
Li Hua seemed to have noticed something, but didn't make a sound.
Not long after, the nanny housekeeper brought two little maids and brought food.
Like the Li family brothers, except for Zeng Jin's visit to the Zhang family, they have never been served by others before, and they are not used to it.
Li Man even served the dishes and set the bowls by herself, which made the housekeeper quite embarrassed. It was only because the two maids didn't do it well that the master did it himself.
"Don't scold them. When the food is delivered, we can arrange it ourselves. By the way, where is Xueer?"
"At Miss Xue'er's place, Nanny Chen has brought someone to prepare the meals."
The housekeeper replied.
"Oh." Li Man frowned slightly, how many places should the family share for a meal? This is so intimidating, besides, Xue'er will get bored eating alone.
Forget it, let's forget about this meal, let's explain the next meal, let's eat together as a family, it will save trouble.
Just thinking about it, Shangguan Xue came pushing Sui Bo's car.
"Big sister." As soon as she entered the door, Shangguan Xue called out, "I want to have dinner with you."
"Okay." Li Man greeted her quickly.
The housekeeper hurriedly ordered the two maids to add two chairs beside the table.
After the meals are ready, the whole family will have a reunion dinner.
Li Man and Shangguan Xue were very excited.
After dinner, because there were too many men in his room, Li Man simply went to Shangguanxue's side.
The two were sitting on the swing in the yard, talking about some personal things between sisters.
"Big sister, I didn't expect that we would really be able to go home one day. Up to now, I still think it's like a dream." Shangguan Xue said with red eyes.
Li Man looked up at the sky, watched the blue sky and white clouds drifting by leisurely, and sighed softly, "Yes, life is capricious. I hope that after today, it will always be a good dream."
"Big sister, don't leave, okay? At worst, send someone to pick up the little nephews." Shangguanxue suddenly suggested, looking at her with big eyes eagerly, full of expectation.
Li Man was taken aback, then smiled, "Little nephew? Who told you?"
"Brother-in-law Li Shu." Shangguan Xue said.
"Heh." Li Man laughed, saying that Li Shu was quite normal. Ever since he had a pair of children, he wished that everyone in the world would know, and told Shangguan Xue that it was normal.
Seeing her smile, Shangguan Xue hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "Big sister, let's make it this way, okay? I'll talk to the housekeeper in a while."
"Don't." Li Man hurriedly stopped her, "Xue'er, I know you want me to stay, I promise you, I will come back to see you often in the future."
"But, this is your home." Shangguan Xue's eyes were moist again.
Li Man shook her head slightly, and said with a smile, "My sister's home is now in Shennvgou, where my husbands, my children, and everything I have carefully managed."
