Secrets of Yuqing Palace

It has been a while since their last meeting outside the house when Wanyu gave the recipe for instant noodles and seasonings to Huang Cheng.

During this period, Huang Chengyou sent a letter to Guwaljia Prefecture.

It turned out that the specific location of the store had already been chosen, which was the area that the group had taken a fancy to in the outer city last time.

The store is currently being redecorated and renovated, so it will take some time before it officially opens.

And because it is impossible for a store to only sell instant noodles, other items need to be prepared and sold together in the store.

However, Wanyu didn't pay much attention to what specific items would be sold.

She just needs to wait and receive the dividends from instant noodles every month.

......

Looking at her well-behaved and beautiful daughter who was greeting her, Fucha's eyes were full of pride and doting.

"After learning etiquette from Madam Sun for a while, she seems to be more well-behaved and gentle now."

"Unlike before, he was very naughty and lively, and couldn't stay still for a moment."

Wanyu smiled and said, "After studying with Madam Sun for so long, there must be some results."

"Hehe...Is mother satisfied?"

She walked a few steps in front of Fucha and performed some standard court etiquette.

Fucha smiled and pulled her up.

"Satisfied, satisfied."

"My son is very smart. Nothing can stump you."

"Mother doesn't mean to restrict you with those rules. I just hope you won't be criticized by others because of the rules and etiquette."

"And if there are any problems with the rules and etiquette during next year's election, it will not only bring shame upon you, but also upon our Guarjia family."

"Although Ama E'niang and your Mafa Mama have decided to marry you off to a family that is easy to handle because they feel sorry for you."

"But as a daughter of the Guarjia family, you must also remember your family's upbringing and the love they have for you."

"I don't ask you to make great contributions to the family, but don't bring trouble to the family either."

Listening to her mother's serious advice, Wanyu nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, mother. I know what's important, so I will study seriously with Madam Sun."

Seeing that she had truly taken his words to heart, Fucha stopped repeating those annoying clichés to her.

Instead, he took her little hand, sat down at the side, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will accompany my mother back to Fucha Mansion."

Wanyu asked, "Are you going back to see Guo Luoma Ma and your uncles and aunts?"

Fucha nodded: "Well, we haven't been back to see you, Guo Luoma, for a long time."

"The Fucha Mansion sent a letter the other day saying that your Guo Luoma Ma and your uncles missed you three siblings and asked me to take you back when I'm free."

"Since I happen to be free these days, I replied to the post and will take you back tomorrow."

"Are you and your younger brother going back to Fucha Mansion together?"

Fucha shook her head.

"I've discussed this with your father."

"Your third brother is studying at the Imperial College, and your father has to be on duty, so they won't go back with us during the day."

"Tomorrow, mother will take you and Mu Jin and his brother back to Fucha Mansion."

"We will stay at your Guo Luoma's house for a day. As for your father and third brother, when your father is done with duty, he and your third brother will come to pick us up and take us back home."

"Okay, daughter, I understand."

The next day, the mother and daughter took Shi Mujin out of the house early and took a carriage to Fucha Mansion.

The carriage slowly passed through the streets of the capital.

Wanyu looked through the gap in the carriage curtain at the streets outside. The vendors' cries were heard one after another, and the street was very lively.

The Fucha family belonged to the Bordered Yellow Banner and lived on Andingmen Inner Street, which was adjacent to Dongzhimen Inner Street of the Plain White Banner.

So the carriage didn't take too long and arrived at Fu Cha's house in less than half an hour.

The gate of Fucha Mansion is majestic and solemn. The two door panels are made of fine nanmu wood. The surface is carved with intricate dragon and phoenix patterns and outlined with gold lacquer, highlighting the dignity and history of the mansion.

The door knocker is a huge copper dragon head with a copper ring in its mouth. Just a slight pull will make a crisp and pleasant sound.

Like the sound of an ancient bell, distant and solemn.

When the carriage with the Guwalja Prefecture logo slowly approached, an old maid and the servants who had been waiting at the front door quickly took action.

Knowing that it was the aunt of the mansion who had brought back the prince, the old nanny notified a doorman to go into the mansion immediately and inform the old lady and several masters of the mansion.

Then she asked the remaining doormen to open the door and went forward to welcome the aunt and the young master into the mansion.

When everyone saw Fu Cha taking Wan Yu and Shi Mu Jin out of the carriage, joy and respect were on their faces.

The old lady's voice was particularly loud and steady, and she squatted down to salute.

"Grandma is back!"

"My aunt and the two young masters, please come in quickly."

"The old master and several concubines are already waiting in the courtyard. I will take the three masters in."

Fucha smiled and nodded, then looked at the old nanny and asked, "Nanny Hutu, how is my mother these days?"

"The old lady is in good health, but she misses my aunt and the young masters."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much that I often whisper about you in my ear."

"Just a few days ago, I sent a letter to the Guarjia Mansion, hoping that my aunt would bring the young master back to see her."

Hearing what the nanny beside her mother said, Fucha couldn't help but tear up.

"It's my fault for not coming back to see my mother more often."

Although the two families are not far away, I still have to worry about a lot of things related to the second house in the west wing.

I have to be filial to my parents and take care of my husband and children. There are so many things to do that I really can't spare much time to go back to my parents' home often.

Seeing the guilty look on the face of the young master whom she had raised since childhood, Hutu Ma was so anxious that she didn't even call her "Auntie" anymore, and blurted out "Gege" instead.

"What are you talking about, Gege?!"

"The greatest filial piety to the old lady is for the princess to live well in the Guwaljia Mansion, have a harmonious relationship with her son-in-law, and for the three young masters to be healthy."

"If the masters are not doing well and the old lady is constantly worried and anxious, that would be truly unfilial."

Wanyu and Shi Mujin stayed by their mother's side, listening to them talk.

Soon, the three of them, led by Hutu Ma, passed through the rockery, streams, pavilions and towers in the garden and entered the main courtyard of the backyard of Fucha Mansion.

At this time, in the courtyard in front of the main courtyard, an old woman with silver hair and a kind face was sitting beside a stone table, looking towards the main courtyard gate with loving and expectant eyes.

There were three middle-aged women sitting next to them, and several young women standing behind them.

The old woman was none other than Fucha’s biological mother, Wanyu and Mujin’s daughter Guo Luomama, and the old lady of Fucha’s mansion, Borjigit.

She was wearing exquisite Manchu costumes and had a simple braid on her head, looking simple and elegant.

Despite the passage of time, its noble temperament remains unchanged.

Before the mother and her two children entered the courtyard, Borjigit had already stood up.

Looking at the two children, one adult and two children, walking towards her, her eyes were shining with excitement and joy.

"Mother, your daughter has brought her children back to see you."

"Granddaughter Wanyu pays her respects to Guo Luoma."

"Grandson Shi Mujin pays his respects to Guo Luoma."

Except for Fucha who excitedly stepped forward and held her mother's slightly trembling hands, Wanyu and Shi Mujin were very sensible and polite, and bowed to Borjigit.

Mrs. Fucha's voice was full of warmth and love.

She took a few steps forward, first holding her daughter's hand tightly and looking her up and down.

Then, full of love, he pulled his grandson and granddaughter up one after another.

"Good good."

"Good boy, get up quickly."

"Guoroma Mama hasn't seen you for a long time."

"Our Wanyu has become more beautiful, and Mujin has grown taller. They will definitely be the Baturu of the Qing Dynasty in the future."

Just when Madam Fucha stood up, the middle-aged women also stood up.

Seeing that Old Lady Fucha seemed to want to talk to her daughter, grandson and granddaughter more, the oldest middle-aged woman spoke.

"Mother, it's cold outside. Let's take my sister and Wanyu into the house to talk."

Old Madam Fucha said in frustration, "Yes, yes, it was me who was confused."

"I can't walk anymore when I see you. Listen to your aunt. It's cold outside. Let's go inside and talk."

"Come on, come on, everyone come inside."

Old Lady Fucha walked in front, holding Wanyu in one hand and Shi Mujin in the other.

Later, Fucha was also talking to her sisters-in-law.
