Chapter 307 Becoming a Miss
He has a thin face, and the years have carved shallow wrinkles on his face, which are the marks of life. His eyebrows are slightly raised, and his eyes are shrewd and wise.
Xue Qing immediately realized that this person was the shopkeeper Chen of Youranju: "Officially, you are the shopkeeper Chen."
Shopkeeper Chen bowed and said, "Mr. Wu was frightened just now. Can we go to the back hall to talk?"
Xue Qing nodded, and Shopkeeper Chen made a gesture to invite them in, and the two of them went to the back hall one after the other.
Zhenguogong Mansion, Lianhua Cottage
Xia Xuelian had just finished learning etiquette and was half lying on the couch, exhausted. Nanny Li was fanning her beside her. Xiaoqing brought her a bowl of sour plum soup and said, "Miss..."
Xia Xuelian had long been accustomed to the life of a young lady. She picked up the bowl gracefully with her fair hands and took a sip gently.
Xiaoqing put the bowl aside. Seeing that Xia Xuelian seemed to be in a good mood today, she boldly said, "Miss, this is a letter from Anyang."
Xia Xuelian didn't know many words. Although the mansion hired a teacher for her, she didn't study seriously and was only active for a few days.
"Miss, the eldest prince has returned to Beijing." Xiaoqing was afraid that Xia Xuelian would get angry after knowing the contents of the letter.
As expected, Xia Xuelian's cheeks turned red when she heard that the eldest prince was returning to the capital: "Really?"
"Really?" Xiaoqing replied affirmatively.
Xia Xuelian raised the corners of her mouth high, gently opened the envelope with her white fingers, took out the letter inside with two fingers, and opened it.
After reading it with a frown, he asked Xiaoqing: "Does it say that my sister is coming to the capital?"
Xiaoqing knew how to read and nodded.
Sure enough, after Xia Xuelian saw Xiaoqing nodded, her face immediately darkened: "Bitch, what is she doing in Beijing?"
Xiaoqing lowered her head, and Nanny Li immediately comforted her: "Miss, don't worry, if you recognize her, she is your sister, if you don't recognize her, she is a stranger."
Xia Xuelian ignored what Li Ma said, but she still listened to it.
Xiaoqing asked again: "Any news about Wang Yong?"
Xiaoqing shook her head and whispered: "No news has been sent back."
"Waste" Xia Xuelian spat out two words from between her teeth.
Then he said to Madam Li: "Madam, go to the streets more often to see if there are any strange women appearing in front of the mansion."
At this time, Cui'er, Mrs. Wang's personal maid, was serving by her side.
"Madam, I was molested by a lecher in Youran Residence today..." Cui'er just started to say this when she was interrupted by Madam Wang.
"How could this lecher be so bold as to flirt with my maid?" Mrs. Wang always treated the servants in the mansion well. Those who flirted with the Duke's Mansion showed that they did not take the Duke's Mansion seriously.
She could tolerate other things, but molesting decent women was what Mrs. Wang could not tolerate the most.
Cui Er quickly continued, "Madam, listen to me, that lecher was chased away by a handsome young man. At that time, I was stunned and thought it was the second young master who came back. After a closer look, it was not the second young master."
Mrs. Wang doted on her second son, Xue Jing, not only because he looked most like her, but also because he had been lively, filial, and good at coaxing people since he was a child.
When Mrs. Wang heard Cui's words, she suddenly became interested: "Oh, does she really look like Jing'er?"
Cui Er nodded: "Madam, they are very similar, but she is more handsome than the Second Young Master. If you think about it carefully, she looks more like Madam."
Madam Wang sighed, "I don't know how Wu'er and Jing'er are doing."
Cui'er pursed her lips, knowing that what she said made her lady think of her two sons who were far away in the military camp.
"Madam is missing those two brats again." Xue He walked in with square steps.
Cui'er retreated after seeing this.
"Husband, why did you come back at this hour?" Mrs. Wang stood up and walked over to take off his coat.
"I received a letter from my father. He will be returning to Beijing in the next few days. I just informed my mother and will come to see you soon."
Xue He put his arm around Wang's shoulders and sat on the couch. Cui'er's words aroused Wang's longing for her son, and she finally realized, "Father is going back to Beijing?"
Xue He patted her hands: "Yes, maybe this year's New Year, the two brats can come back to celebrate the New Year."
Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. "My husband, are you telling the truth? Hey, these two brats, hey..."
"My dear, Cui'er went to Youran Residence today and saw a young man who looked very similar to Jing'er. This made me miss her!"
Xue He didn't say anything, but a complex emotion flashed across his face.
Mrs. Wang was still wondering if she would have the chance to meet that young master.
The letter Xue Zhong wrote to him said that the child had arrived in the capital.
next day
Wang Chuyue came to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and originally wanted to go see Xia Xuelian, but was stopped by Nanny Li, who said that she was learning etiquette from her.
Wang Chuyue's expression suddenly relaxed and she turned around and went to the main courtyard to visit Madam Wang.
"Aunt, I was so happy when I received your letter yesterday." Wang Chuyue was very much loved by Mrs. Wang, who treated her like her own daughter.
Over the years, he has placed all his longing and affection for his own biological daughter on her.
When Xia Xuelian first came back, she felt a little lost. After all, her biological daughter was back, and her status was definitely not as good as before.
But I was also happy for my aunt. The Wang family was quite large, but only one daughter was born in each generation, so daughters were the most favored ones in the Wang family.
But I didn't expect that my aunt was still very kind to me as before.
She also discovered that her aunt and cousin were not as close as she had expected, and they were more polite to each other.
Mrs. Wang looked at her niece with mixed feelings in her heart. She used to take her to flower-viewing parties, and everyone said that the child looked like herself. Over the years, her brother and sister-in-law often let her niece accompany them, so that she would have fewer wild thoughts.
To relieve the pain of missing his daughter.
"Lian'er has to learn etiquette every day. Today, accompany your aunt to visit the jewelry store," said Mrs. Wang, holding her hand.
The two of them quickly got on the carriage and headed straight for the busiest street.
Xue Qing and Jiang Yi were dressed as men and walking on the most prosperous street in the capital.
The sunlight shines on the bluestone paved road, creating a golden halo.
The street was wide and straight, enough for several carriages to run side by side. Shops lined the streets with flags flying.
There are many kinds of shops on the street, including cloth shops selling silks and satins. The colorful silks shine in the sun like a flowing rainbow.
Inside the store, the shopkeeper and his assistants greeted customers warmly and displayed the latest styles.
In front of the food stalls, the aroma filled the air. The stall owners skillfully flipped the delicacies in the pot, making sizzling sounds.
Various snacks such as steamed buns and wontons are mouth-watering. Diners stand in front of the stalls, eager to taste the delicious food, or sit at small tables on the street, leisurely enjoying the lively atmosphere.
