After half a month had passed since Jiang Huanan and the others left, elder sister sent someone to bring He Yuan over for a short stay. Since He Yuan was taller, he smiled and said, "Last year, I saw that you were taller than elder sister Yi. This time, you guys are taller than usual."

When He Yuan heard his elder sister's words, he approached her and laughed, "Mother, I've already reached the height of your shoulders. After two years, I might even be taller than you!"

The lady smiled and patted her head, "You should grow up now. You should eat and sleep well. Walk more into the garden, swing, jump rope, and stretch. You'll grow faster this way, and your face will turn red. You don't have to mind goat's milk. Sooner or later, drinking a cup of it would be beneficial for your growth. Although the general's residence is not bad, you are still a daughter-in-law after all. No matter what, you can't really fall asleep so late in the morning. Now that we're married, we can live for a while. It's enough to make up for it before we head back. "

Following that, He Yuan spent about half the time each month in the Residence of He and the General's Estate. Soon, it was autumn. As He Min was waiting to marry, the He family prepared a dowry for her. He Yuan happened to be free and he helped to embroider some things. She went to rummage through her things, trying to find some old embroidery for He Yuan to do, but found a bra, confused for a moment.

He Yuan looked around and thought to himself, wow, this old lady had even made modern bras and rushed over to grab it. He looked left and right and said, "It's so beautiful! "Is this a close-fitting set of clothes?"

"This is the breastplate I made when I was not married. It was made for fun." Seeing He Yuan using the bra to compare the two of them, she walked over and demonstrated, "There's a bundle underneath. If you continue putting it on like this, you don't need to wear the undergarment."

There was a lotus flower in full bloom embroidered on each side of his chest. The needlepoint was dense, and the workmanship was meticulous. Due to having been there for so many years, it had slightly yellowed. He Yuan could not help but feel a pity and stomped his feet, "If not for the yellow, I would have definitely worn it. It's too beautiful!"

"You like it?" My lady is surprised and happy at the same time, ah, I have found the same! In the past, he had made quite a few of these. His mother refused to wear them, and his eldest sister-in-law refused to wear them as well. He had only coaxed her to wear them once. Even when he wore them, the two girls would say that they looked like devils and wouldn't let him wear them. This continued for more than ten years. Now that Sister Yuan likes it, that's great. She can go back to her old business and do a few more things for her.

"I like it!" He Yuan was also surprised and happy. Although the undergarment here was beautiful, it did not have any curves. If he was able to wear this bra, it would definitely fluctuate and look alive. A moment later, he pulled on his elder sister and said, "Mother, after you're done with Sister Yi's work, why don't you make me two sets of breastplates like these!" Hehe, when Brother An comes back, you're going to make him mad!

"If you want to like it, you can do it now. You watch and learn what you can do yourself. " The elder sister smiled and said, "There are also several kinds of beautiful nightgowns. You should also learn how to make them. You can also make them for Wa'an to wear later."

Great, I can finally make some beautiful modern clothes. He Yuan excitedly asked his elder sister for advice on how to use the breastplate.

After He Yuan had finished making the breastplate with his elder sister, Shang Jie ordered someone to come and take her back to the General's Estate.

After the new year, all the houses made spring dresses, and Old Madam He kept a few good pieces, saying that she would give some of her great-granddaughters to them. She also called for people to bring over He Yuan to stay in the house and make some new clothes.

When He Yuan arrived, the lady who was calculating the date of the congratulatory speech asked, "Has Hua An written back this month? What did you say? "

I received a letter a few days ago. It said that Beicheng had chosen the end of March to give Princess and Tang Zhi Li their marriage. I'm afraid that it will take at the end of May for me to finish my business. So, I left for home early in June." He Yuan calculated the time and said, "I thought it would take at most a year, but now I've been gone for a year and a half.

As she spoke, she took out the letter she had just received and showed it to He Yuan. He Yuanzhan looked at the letter and saw the handwriting of the message. He read it carefully and smiled: "From the tone of Brother's letter, he seems to be in the limelight over there. Naturally, it wouldn't be difficult for big brother to go against his brother while reciting poems. In the past few years, the country of Beicheng had put great emphasis on martial arts and gentle writing. However, in the past few years, it had become calm and peaceful again. There are some half-bottle of jealous scholars who love to show off. They actually dare to take the exam for their big brother? "

As it turned out, the message had to be exchanged with some of the officials of the country. Jiang Huanan and the rest of the group had to attend some of the official banquets. It was also because Zhou Quanzheng wanted to marry Jiang Hua An that he even looked upon Jiang Hua An as an uncle. For a moment, he attracted everyone's attention. And because the congratulatory speech was only thirteen years old, he was incomparably handsome, and his demeanor was impeccable, he actually attracted the attention of several concubines, secretly discussing: "If he was not from the Nanchang Kingdom, he would have betrothed his daughter to him, what a pity!"

The ladies of these wives' residences, on the other hand, were extremely outstanding and were admired by quite a few people. They did not mention the gossip here, but spread it out. The rumors spread, but they changed their appearance, turning into messages that the madams wanted to send to their daughters. At this moment, a few of the young masters were discontented, saying only words of congratulations and what virtue did they have, actually causing the madams to turn green with indignation. When Zhou Kuangzheng invited Jiang Hua An and congratulated him to the Zhou Mansion, these young masters became friends with Zhou Kuangzheng's son. After some discussion, a few scholars were invited to the Zhou Mansion as well. They bickered over wine and then fought over poems and words. They didn't want to be chatting and laughing, so they dealt with them one by one. On the second day, news of the Zhou Mansion celebration spread throughout the country. In this way, there were some sour scholars who went to the inn to compete in poetry, and while it was still lively, there were even some young masters from the martial arts families who went to the inn to compete with Jiang Hua'an and Jiang Hua Kuan.

After the elder sister finished reading He Yuan's letter, she smiled and said, "Most of the people fighting over this poem are just talking. It's hard to tell who is higher and who is lower. Those who sought for Hua An's martial arts had been thrown out by him with just a single spear strike. This was an obvious decision. "Given the power and influence which Hua An wielded, big bro naturally would be looked down upon by others. He's definitely going to make a name for himself."

When they were talking here, Shang Jie sent someone to meet He Yuan, saying that the wife of the Shang family had come. She had not seen He Yuan for a long time, but wanted to meet him. When the lady heard this, she hurriedly ordered the girl to pack up her things and instructed He Yuan, "Right now, all the houses will be making spring clothes. You will have to personally make a set for Old Mistress Jiang and Madam General to show your filial piety to them. As for me and your father, I don't need you to busy yourself with it. "Now that you're married, you're a member of the General's Estate. Everything is done with the General's Estate and the He Estate first." As he spoke, he looked at the girls who were not in front of him and quietly said, "Mother won't be intimate with you since you're already married. Your brother hasn't even married his sister-in-law yet, so no matter how much your mother loves you, no one has any objections. If your brother were to marry a sister-in-law in the future, your mother would have to be even, unable to favor you in public, and also not be able to pick you up from time to time to stay. At that time, the Fu family would be much more important. The Fu family would value you, and when you go back to the He family, there was no need for mother to say anything. The old lady, Madam Ye, and the others would treat you as a different person. No matter who your future sister-in-law is, I don't dare to underestimate you. " As he spoke, he whispered a few more words. He Yuan nodded his head and ordered her to bid farewell to Old Madam He and the rest before personally escorting her out of the mansion.

Mrs. Shang, on the other hand, was Shang Jie's sister-in-law. Because her daughter, Shang Baolan, had learned embroidery, but she had learned it roughly, she had no choice but to tell Shang Jie that she would send her daughter to the General's House to study embroidery with He Yuan and Chen Zhu. Shang Jie naturally agreed, and said smilingly, "Bao Lan is about ten years old, so she came just in time to accompany Sister Yuan Zhu'er."

Mrs. Shang laughed, "He is not ten years old. He is still a childish person now, but he really worried me to death." As he spoke, he asked Jiang Hualian and Jiang Huagang about their return journey. He nodded and said, "When Hua'an returns, Bao Lan won't be able to disturb their daughter-in-law anymore."

"There's a letter from Wa An. We won't be leaving until June. Even if the boat is fast, we won't be able to return until August. "Pauline, be at ease and stay here." As Shang Jie spoke, she heard the girl say that the young mistress had returned, smiling as she called for someone to help her carry the luggage.

As soon as He Yuan entered the hall, he saw old Madame Jiang, and he went to pay his respects to Mrs. Shang. However, he was stopped by Mrs. Shang.

"Aiya, it's only been a few months since we last met, but it seems to have grown a lot taller!" When the Shang family's wife saw He Yuan's slim and graceful posture, she could not help but ask, "What did you eat that made you jump so high?"

"Sister Yuan is currently growing, change every month!" Shang Jie continued, "It's true that you haven't seen Miss Zhu, but that time when her mother came to pick her up and bring her back to the Chen family, she was shocked. "I also sent someone to bring her back today. I was expecting to arrive soon."

Just as he was speaking, Chen Zhu came back. The Shang Family's wife took a look and was shocked as well, "People say that women have undergone a great change, isn't that true? Last time, it was a round face, but this time, its eyes were big and its chin was pointed, making it look really beautiful. "

He Yuan grinned from the side. Hehe, Sister Zhu'er is already 14 years old, with her chest against her chest and waist against her waist. When Jiang Huaguang comes back, he will definitely be shocked.

When night came, Chen Zhu came to look for He Yuan. She entered the room saying, "Sister Yuan, it's cold today. Let me sleep with you. I still have something to say to you!"

"Alright, alright. I was just in need of a warm bed!" He Yuan teased Chen Zhu and quickly put her to bed while the two of them talked on their beds.

"Sister Yuan, I'm a bit annoyed!" Chen Zhu sighed and said, "Because it would be too hasty for Big Brother Kuan to marry me, and the dowry wouldn't be properly prepared for marriage. My mother is very sorry, but last year, when I went back home, she actually gave me a few pieces of jewelry. I don't know why, but my third sister-in-law found out. This time when I came home, Third Sister-in-Law muttered behind my back that my mother had left me good things, not my daughter-in-law. What about the water poured out by my married daughter? I saw the sky and went back to my parents' home, but I didn't know what I was looking for. I want to argue with her, but I'm afraid that my mother will find it hard to do it. I want to return the jewelry to my mother, but I'm also afraid that my mother will be sad.

"My mother was right. When big brother was married to his sister-in-law, it didn't matter how nice she was to me. When I marry her in the future, I can't treat her openly." He Yuan also sighed and said, "I wonder what kind of girl my brother will marry in the future?"

The two of them muttered some things about going back to their parents' home. Seeing He Yuan using his hand to rest on his head, lying on his side, his clothes propped up and his chest slightly protruding, Chen Zhu said with a wretched smile, "Look at you. If I were a man, I'd pounce on you."

He Yuan regained his senses, put down his hands, pulled up his blanket and peeked at the place where Chen Zhu was standing, chuckling, "Seeing you like this, even if I'm not a man, I still want to pounce on you."

The two of them joked around for a while, but Chen Zhu remained silent. After a while, she said, "Sister Yuan, I dreamt of Brother Kuan last night. From today onwards, my heart is empty. "

"You're missing him!" He Yuan looked at Chen Zhu and said, "Madam wants to write a letter to Brother An and the others. You should also write a letter to Brother Kuan!"

"En!" Seeing He Yuan's mischievous smile, Chen Zhu stared at her and asked, "Could it be that you don't want Brother An?"

He Yuan blurted out, "I want to, I want to die!"

Far away in Beicheng, Jiang Hua An suddenly sneezed a few times that night.
