Chapter 1254: sent by Hou
"From Aunt Hou?"
As she walked into the yard, she opened the letter. After walking to the main room, after drinking a sip of tea, I unfolded the letter and looked at it.
Seeing this, she suddenly widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
Yingxi saw her look different and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Shu Yu smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, I saw the good news."
good news? Should be puzzled.
Shu Yu didn't tell her that Yingxi didn't know Concubine Hou, didn't know what happened on their way to exile, and said she couldn't understand.
Shu Yu returned to Yuyuan with a smile, and not long after that, he went to the storeroom to pick up gifts.
picked half, and the old lady went home.
Hearing that Shu Yu was in the warehouse, he hurried over to find her.
"Ayu, what are you looking for?"
"Milk." Shu Yu put down the things in his hand, walked to her side with a smile, and sat down with her before saying, "Aunt Hou has sent me a letter, and she has left Lin Zhang's house."
The old lady was stunned, "Leaving Lin Zhang's house? Isn't she a prisoner in exile? Could it be that she, like you, has made merit and was pardoned?"
"No, she left with Mr. Wan, and now she has become Mr. Wan's concubine, and went to the capital with him." Shu Yu was afraid that she would not remember Mr. Wan, and reminded him later, "I went to Uncle Yao's house back then. The official who read the imperial decree and returned to Beijing with him is Lord Wan, you have seen it.”
The old lady thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Is that the tall and thin high official?"
"Yes." Shu Yu nodded, "Speaking of which, I saw Mr. Wan on the way to the capital, and then I wondered if he had gone southwest. Later, when I came back from the capital, I saw him again on the pier. He, there was a woman with a hood behind him at the time. Seeing that he was busy, he didn't go up to say hello. Now that I think about it, that woman can't be said to be the Hou family, so we missed it!!"
The old lady is a pity, "It's really unfortunate, it's just that how did Mr. Hou become the concubine of Lord Wan?"
Shu Yu also thought it was very strange, Hou said in the letter that when Lord Wan met Hou for the first time, Hou happened to save him.
Probably because of this origin, Master Wan was deeply impressed by the Hou family.
But the emotional development of the two people, when they were ambiguous and when they had a good feeling, was not mentioned in Hou's letter.
Such a private thing is really not easy to mention.
The letter only said that after Mr. Wan left Lin Zhang's mansion for the first time, he bought her a lot of things.
Hou thought it was just a thank-you from Lord Wan. Who knew that a few months ago, Lord Wan would actually reappear in Linzhang Mansion, the inn where she was.
This time, he still went to read the imperial decree, pardoning an exiled court official.
But originally the imperial court sent another official from the Ministry of Personnel, and it was Lord Wan who took the initiative to take over this matter.
After he arrived at Linzhang Mansion, he saw Hou again. Master Wan and Mr. Hou talked about the situation at home and asked Mr. Hou if he would like to go back to Beijing with him.
Hou is naturally willing. She was originally the concubine of the second master of the Shu family, but now she has become the concubine of Master Wan, which has been considered to have raised her status.
What's more, the wife of Mr. Wan's family has passed away, and he has not remarried. There were only two concubines in the backyard, one of whom had followed his room earlier, and after all, it was cleaner than Second Master Shu's backyard.
