Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 483 Pingyang is going home

Today I was chatting with Pei Yunqian about his hometown. When Pingyang returned to his mansion, he couldn't help but miss his relatives at home.

Seeing this, Yuzhu persuaded her, "If Madam is homesick, why not take this opportunity to go back. However, for a trip of seven or eight days, it is reassuring to have my cousin to protect me."

Pingyang sighed slightly and replied: "There are dozens, if not hundreds, of daily affairs in this house. The third master is not at home on a business trip, and the children are young. How can I get around easily?"

Yuzhu smiled and said: "Although there are many things in the house, if you are not here, just leave it to the eldest lady to take care of more. Besides, the few people in charge are all capable people and can handle it completely. As for the children, There is a wet nurse to take care of her, so Lantian and I will just leave one to take care of her."

Hearing this, Pingyang hesitated for a moment, but still refused: "Forget it, the children have never left me, and I'm afraid they won't be able to bear the burden of taking them with me on the road, so I'd better not go back."

Hearing this, Yuzhu stopped trying to persuade her. At that moment, Lan Tian came in, held a letter from home to Pingyang and said, "Madam, has the prince sent you another letter?"

Hearing this, Yuzhu glanced at Pingyang and joked: "My uncle was ordered to go on a business trip. It has only been seven or eight days, and already three or four letters from home have arrived. It shows that my uncle is homesick for his family."

Pingyang glared at his jade beads and said calmly: "He is on behalf of the emperor to inspect the enclosures of powerful people in several counties. He has to go to many places, and it is inevitable that people will be worried on the way. He is just afraid that his family will miss him and report him. Just come back safely."

 Speaking, Pingyang opened the letter and read it.

Hingyang Azuma:

 See the words as they appear!

 I have arrived in Lucheng and everything went well. The scenery of Lucheng is beautiful. Now I am patrolling the city with the prefect of Lucheng. I happened to see a woman on the street who looks exactly like you. I no longer want to enjoy the scenery. I just hope that the errand will be finished and I can go home quickly.

Husband: Xiang

Pingyang finished reading the letter, folded it, handed it to Yuzhu, and said, "Put it away."

Yuzhu took the letter and asked, "Where is my uncle now?"

Pingyang said calmly: "We have arrived at Lucheng."

Yuzhu asked: "Did my uncle explain the date of his return?"

Pingyang Xin opened the account book on the table and replied casually: "The Holy Emperor is vigorously reforming the enclosures of powerful people in various places. He was ordered to go out to inspect several counties this time. I'm afraid he won't be able to return for a while."

Yuzhu put the family letter in the dowry drawer of Pingyang and said with a smile: "Since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he has been vigorously promoting my uncle in these years. Now my uncle is the second-rank governor of Zuoting. Now my uncle is in a high position and has great authority. His whole body is full of energy. His energy and spirit are also different."

Pingyang smiled, moved his eyes from the accounts to Yuzhu, and replied: "He has never had any ambition, but he has a good life. Tanshang's second brother is such a good brother. When he was in the house, he always For his teachings, now that the second brother has become the emperor, he has spared no effort to cultivate and promote him. Haha, I hope he can gain some popularity himself. I don't ask for the honor of being a husband and wife, I just hope that he will not let down the second brother. His painstaking efforts are enough.”

Now Li Xiang is becoming more and more interested in Pingyang, and Yuzhu always hopes that Pingyang can live happily. After listening to Pingyang, she replied: "No matter what, my uncle is becoming more and more promising now, and people grow up slowly. Madam is a sensible person, and since my uncle wants to get along well, I would like to advise you to settle the differences with me."

Hearing this, Pingyang only smiled bitterly, and then turned his eyes to the account in his hand. On the second day, Hou Yuzhu in the outer room heard the sound of Pingyang getting up in the inner room, so she quickly went inside to serve.

Pingyang had just woken up and was sitting on the bed. When she saw Yuzhu, her first words were: "Yuzhu, I want to go home with my cousin."

Yuzhu asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you? Yesterday, my slave tried so hard to persuade you but you refused. Why did you change your mind after just a nap?"

Pingyang replied: "I had a dream last night when I returned home and met my grandmother, parents, brothers and sisters. When I woke up, I was thinking, no, I must go back."

With that said, she hurriedly put on her shoes and got off the ground, and told Yuzhu: "In a moment, you can order someone to tell my cousin that I have changed my mind and I want to go back with him."

Yuzhu responded with a smile and called the little girls to prepare water to help Pingyang wash and bathe.

 After finishing everything, Pingyang rushed to Anxi Hall. The eldest princess went on a wander with the Duke of Zhenguo and was not in the mansion. Therefore, if Pingyang wanted to return to her parents' home, she only needed to discuss it with the old lady.

When they arrived at Anxi Hall, the old lady had not finished her breakfast. Seeing Pingyang rushing over so early, the old lady thought something had happened. She put down the jade chopsticks and asked quickly: "What's going on? But what's urgent? Looking for grandma?"

Pingyang was eager to return home. It was not until she saw the old lady surprised that she realized her gaffe and quickly replied: "It's nothing serious. I just want to go back to Yizhou. I came here to ask for permission from my grandmother."

The old lady hurriedly pulled Pingyang to sit down beside her, and replied: "You have been married for so many years and you have never gone back once, right? Oops! In the past few years, you were pregnant one after another and had difficulty moving. Now the children can also grow up." It's too late, you really should go back."

The old lady has always been open-minded, and Pingyang had expected that she would not stop her, but Pingyang still thanked the old lady gratefully: "Thank you grandma for your understanding. After being away from home for so many years, I really miss my elders in the family. It just so happens that my maternal cousin is coming back. If he goes to Yizhou, I will take this opportunity to go back with him."

The old lady heard Pingyang mention her maternal cousin and asked casually: "Is the cousin you are talking about the boy from the Pei family who just won the martial arts examination?"

 Pingyang replied yes.

The old lady sighed: "The Pei family was also a prosperous family in Beijing at the beginning. The Pei family has been clean for generations. It's a pity that Mr. Pei offended the brother of the former imperial concubine Meng Guifei by speaking out for justice. Only then was he slandered by traitors and demoted. Now the son of the Pei family is With such success, it can be seen that the Pei family will prosper again in the future."

Pingyang naturally knew about these past events of the Pei family. She heard the old lady mention it and echoed: "Uncle Pei is a loyal and upright person, which is really admirable."

The old lady nodded, and then told her granddaughter-in-law: "Although the distance between Beijing and Yizhou is not far, it is still about ten days' journey. Although you are escorted by the Pei family, for the sake of safety, you should bring more servants with you." Guard."

Pingyang agreed: "Don't worry, grandma, I will be careful on the road. But during my absence, I will leave everything in the house to my sister-in-law to take care of. I will go to Xiyuan to talk to her later."

The old lady nodded and said: "It's rare for you to go back, so it doesn't matter if you stay a little longer. Your sister-in-law and the manager are in charge of the affairs of the house. Don't worry about it. Just stay at your parents' house for a few days."

As he said that, the old lady sighed: "When I mentioned you going back to your parents' home, I also thought of Jiangdong. I wonder how Qingluan has been living there since she was married."
