Chapter 161 The marriage is not going well(1/2)
Princess Nanping did not hide the matter of Yan Tongming from Yan Huo. In the past, she wanted her daughter to marry the youngest son of another family and didn't have to be the head of the family. She just had to take care of the affairs of the first courtyard. Seeing that her daughter managed the Yi Nian Court very well, she followed her, but now her daughter wants to marry Fu Zhixing. Fu Zhixing is the only son, and her daughter wants to be the head of the house when she married, so she has to teach her some things.
After hearing the narration, Yan Hu's eyes widened, "Give it, give it shoes!" Is there a trick in Shen Meilian's mind? Giving purses and handkerchiefs is better than giving shoes. Can these shoes be given to foreign men at will? The cousins of the relatives should avoid suspicion.
"Brother Jiu won't be confused for a moment, so I just accepted it?" Yan Huo asked uneasy.
"Confiscated." Princess Nanping smiled.
"That's fine." Yan Hu paused, "She didn't say goodbye?" Although she didn't know Shen Meilian's character, according to common sense, a wall-breaking encounter is not enough to make a young girl in her heart give up.
"I sent dates to your ninth brother's room two days ago, but I was stopped by a bean hoe." Princess Nanping frowned. His son had good homework and looked handsome, and it was not uncommon to think about him. If no one liked him, it would be a headache. But Shen Meilian was not doing anything properly. Such a woman would not be able to be a wife for her son, but even a concubine.
"Shameless." Yan Huo cursed angrily. From his mother's tone, Brother Jiu was meaningless to Shen Meilian. Shen Meilian had to get into his house, which was too frivolous. "Mom, there are more than 20 days left on the academy. If... I'd better tell Brother Jiu and let him stay away from Shen Meilian and stop others' words."
"You Jiu Ge Ben has no intention of her. I am afraid that when I mention it, he will pay attention. After a while, he will backfire." Princess Nanping was in trouble.
"Sister is not good, and my brother will definitely not be able to go there. Mom, please tell Brother Jiu not to interact with Shen Meiqi." Yan Huo said again.
"That Shen Meiqi is a good classmate in front of your ninth brother. She interferes with his friendship for no reason. I am afraid that your ninth brother will get closer to him." Princess Nanping sighed.
"Mom, you are afraid of the left and the right. Are you just watching Shen Meilian swaying in front of Brother Jiu all day long?" Yan Huo said anxiously.
"What do you think of?" Princess Nanping was interested in taking the exam for her daughter.
Yan Hu thought about it and said, "Let someone set up a plan, expose Shen Meiqi's mask, so that Brother Jiu knows that he is not a good person, and if he cuts off contact, he will not be afraid of being used by him. However, they are in a college, and even if they continue to work, they will still look up and see each other. Shen Meilian is so thick-skinned, so she will definitely use the excuse to pester Brother Jiu, so she has to find a man to divert her attention."
Princess Nanping raised her hand and gave Yan Huo a try, "This method is too sinister."
"For shameless people, you should use sinister methods, otherwise the problem will not be solved." Yan Huo said authentically.
My daughter's words seem to make some sense.
"Okay, mom knows how to do it. You will be better off. Don't worry about this god." Princess Nanping was about to ask someone to ask Shen Meilian to let her get out of the trouble. As for Shen Meiqi, as her daughter said, set up a bureau to test him. If he has a character, then let him continue to make friends with his son. If he has a bad character, then this person is probably close to the children of the academy officials.
"Oh" Yan Huo was depressed and thought he had something to do. Unexpectedly, he had to be bored at home to recuperate, but her illness had already been cured.
"Don't be slandered." Nanping County Lord said with a stern face. She knew that there was someone on her daughter's hand.
"Oh" Yan Hu fell down with his arms around the pillow. Can she say that the only thing she knows about a girl is better than a mother?
Princess Nanping smiled proudly, and Monkey King could not escape from Tathagata's palm.
The mother and daughter would never have thought that Yan Tongming was being entangled by Shen Meilian; Yan Tongming accidentally hanged his sleeves while reading a book in the library, and went back to the room to change his clothes. Shen Meilian saw it, "Young Master Yan, why are your clothes broken? Take them off quickly, I'll sew them for you."
Chang Gui frowned. How could a girl ask a man to take off his clothes so carelessly?
"No, thank you." Yan Tongming declined politely.
"Mr. Yan, I have very good skills. I promise that after sewing it for you, others will not see that it is sewing it." Shen Meilian walked towards Yan Tongming.
Yan Tongming stepped back, "No need, thank you."
Shen Meilian said anxiously, "Young Master Yan, believe me, I can really..."
Chang Gui was afraid that Shen Meilian would forcefully take off Yan Tongming's clothes, so he stepped forward to stop her, "Miss Chen, my young master does not wear old clothes that have been sewn, and there are needlework and threading women in the mansion, so I don't bother Miss Chen."
Shen Meilian looked at Chang Gui with a wounded look on her face, "Brother Chang."
"Miss Chen, I'm just a book boy, I dare not take this title." Chang Gui said with a stern face. Why is a girl so shameless?
Yan Tongming took advantage of Chang Gui stopping Shen Meilian and hurried back to the room to change his clothes.
In the evening, Master Yan excitedly rushed into Chunhui Hall, "Mother, son congratulate you."
Mrs. Yan frowned. The second wife would not want to have a concubine's son or daughter again? Yan Huo, who was gnawing apples, stared at her second uncle in a daze. She wanted multiple cousins or cousins again? Her second uncle is really a good example!
"What else is there to be joy?" Old Mrs. Yan clenched her fist tightly with her right hand. She really wanted to beat this old man to death. She was all grandfather's man, and she was so greedy and lustful.
"My son has chosen a good marriage for the Qi Yat." Master Yan smiled.
Mrs. Yan's face was a little slow. It was a long time since Sun Zhongkai's incident. Min Lingzhi also got engaged not long ago, so it was the right thing to give Yan Fenxiang's family. Mrs. Yan asked, "Which family is it?"
"Chen Wenjing, the youngest son of Chen Jijiu, the Imperial College Supervisor." Yan Erye smiled.
Although the legitimate son of the fourth-rank official is not very compatible, it is okay. Mrs. Yan nodded, "You are her, you are the master."
"When will my mother be free?" asked Master Yan Er.
Mrs. Yan thought for a while, "Let's go the day after tomorrow."
The day after tomorrow, Mrs. Chen took her son Chen Wenjing to visit Mrs. Yan. Mrs. Yan did not rush to let her granddaughters come out to see the guests. Last time, Sun Zhongkai looked like a handsome man, but he almost killed the Duke of Pingguo and the Yan family. This time, he had to be more cautious. Yan Fen's marriage could not withstand the twists and turns.
"I have seen the old lady, and the old lady is safe." Chen Wenjing bowed and bowed.
"You don't have to be polite to a good boy. Sit down and talk." Mrs. Yan said politely.
After a conversation, Mrs. Yan had a good impression of Chen Wenjing. She was a polite young man. But when Sun Zhongkai was polite at that time, she was also polite? Mrs. Yan still did not ask her granddaughters to come out.
Seeing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but feel anxious and smiled and said, "The gardens in your mansion are famous in Beijing. Can the old lady give me a long experience?" She turned her eyes and looked at the screen, "I'll have Lai Qi, let me take a walk with me."
It was so straightforward that Mrs. Yan couldn't refuse. After all, the two families were going to get married, so they asked the maid to call Yan Fen out. Chen Wenjing quickly looked up at Yan Fen and lowered his head.
When Mrs. Chen saw that her son was calm, she held Yan Fen and refused to let go. "What do Miss Seven usually do at home?"
Yan Fen replied in a quiet voice, "Do needlework."
A hint of unhappiness flashed in Chen Wenjing's drooping eyes.
Mrs. Chen took Yan Fen's handkerchief and said, "Is the flower on it embroidered by Miss Seven?"
"Yes." Yan Fen replied.
"Oh, what a good girl with cleverness." Mrs. Chen liked it very much.
When he saw this, he looked good and had a gentle personality. Mrs. Chen took her son away with satisfaction. The marriage reached a preliminary consensus.
Two days later, I received an invitation from Ma Ruyu, a fourth lady from Zhenbei Hou. The autumn wind blew, the crab legs itchy, the chrysanthemums bloomed, and the crabs came. Ma Ruyu was posing a crab banquet. Because of the second grandmother of Yan, several ladies from the Yan family also received the invitation.
On this day, Yan Fen, Yan Miao, Yan Huo and Yan Qi went to Zhenbei Hou Mansion to have a banquet. They planted chrysanthemums in the garden of Hou Mansion. It was the flowering period, and the flowers were blooming in bloom, competing for beauty and wonder. There were reds like red chrysanthemums with fire, and white chrysanthemums with snow...
Ma Ruyu was leading the Yan family sisters and four other guests, chatting and laughing while enjoying the flowers, and a group of people came towards him. The leader was Ma Ruyu's concubine Ma Ruxiang, "Hello sister."
Ma Ruyu snorted coldly, "I'm going to hold a crab banquet, why are you here to join in the fun?"
"They are not here to attend my sister's crab banquet, they are I invited to attend my chrysanthemum banquet." Ma Ruxiang raised her eyebrows and looked arrogant.
Although Yan Huo was not very familiar with Ma Ruyu, Princess Nanping once told her about some things about Zhenbei Hou’s Mansion. Zhenbei Hou had a noble concubine, who was the niece of the old lady Zhenbei Hou. The reason why Zhenbei Hou took her as a concubine is unknown.
The old lady of Zhenbei Hou was born to her niece, and she loved her very much. Although Ma Ruyu was the legitimate daughter, because of the old lady of Zhenbei Hou, she did not have the upper hand in the fight with Ma Ruxiang. This time, Ma Ruyu held a crab banquet, and she immediately confronted her chrysanthemum banquet.
"Ugly people make trouble." Ma Ruyu curled her lips.
"Is sister talking about herself?" Ma Ruxiang's appearance is much more beautiful than Ma Ruyu.
Ma Ruyu raised her hand and wanted to hit her, and Yan Huo grabbed her hand, "Sister Ruyu, the beautiful scenery, why bother to be angry with irrelevant people? She admires her flowers and we eat our crabs."
"Sister Yan is right, there is no need to be angry with a bitch." Ma Ruyu said with a smile.
At this time, a girl wearing a white background and red flowers walked out from behind Ma Ruxiang, "Who are you Miss Yan Qi?"
Yan Fen frowned, "I am, who are you?"
"Her name is Xu Lan, and she is Ma Ruxiang's dog-legged." Ma Ruyu answered first.
"Miss Yan Qi, please don't robb brother Chen with me, okay?" Xu Lan looked at Yan Fen with tears in her eyes. Everyone was stunned. What's the situation? Two women compete for their husbands!
Yan Hu frowned. Could it be Chen Wenjing, the brother Chen mentioned in Xu Lan?
Yan Fen's face looked a little ugly, "Miss Xu, I don't understand what you said."
"Miss Yan Qi, Brother Chen and I are childhood sweethearts. I like me very much. I... we are in love with each other." Xu Lan held her hands in front of her chest, "You are so beautiful and kind, and you will definitely help us, right?"
This word... made people feel goosebumps. Yan Hu touched his arm and asked unwillingly
"Miss Xu, who are you talking about is the son of Brother Chen?" Yan Huo was lucky, hoping that it was not Chen Wenjing, otherwise her seventh sister would be too unlucky.
"The prince of the Imperial College Priest, Chen Wenjing." Xu Lan said of her lover, with a look of shame.
Yan Huo looked at Yan Fen sympathetically, poor Seventh Sister, why is the marriage so unhappy?
"Miss Xu made a mistake. The Yan family had no intention of marrying the Chen family." Yan Fen had to say this. She didn't want to be the protagonist of rumors in the capital again and was discussed.
"Miss Xu, are you afraid you're crazy about gaining and losing your heart, right?" As the master, Ma Ruyu couldn't let things go. "Fifth sister, why don't you send the sick Miss Xu home quickly."
At this time, Ma Ruxiang didn't care about the fact that she left the legitimate sister, so she quickly asked the mother to take Xu Lan out and apologized to Yan Fen, "Sister Yan Qi, I'm really sorry, I don't know what kind of nerves Xu Lan is like?"
"It's okay, I won't care about a misunderstanding." Yan Fen smiled calmly and glanced at everyone, "Let the sisters make a joke. This matter involves my reputation and Miss Xu. Please don't spread this matter."
The ladies present nodded, saying that they would not speak out.
Then, Ma Ruyu led the guests she invited to eat crabs, and Ma Ruxiang and her guests enjoyed the flowers. Seeing Yan Fen's lonely expression, Yan Huo knew that she was still hit and pulled her, "Sister Qi, I will teach you how to cut the crabs."
Yan Fen looked at her sister's caring gaze and forced a smile and said, "Okay."
"One crab has eight claws, and the two ends are so sharp. I glared and my neck shrank, and I climbed and crossed the sand river." Yan Huo said while doing something.
"Puchi" Yan Fen was amused by Yan Hu's funny look.
"Sister Qi, come, let's play the game." Yan Huo smiled.
Because the Crab Fist is simple and interesting, under Yan Huo, everyone caught the Crab Fist and finally resolved the embarrassment of Xu Lan.
After the banquet, they returned home. Yan Huo went straight to Chunhuitang and told Mrs. Yan about the scandal of Xu Lan and Chen Wenjing. He was so angry that Mrs. Yan shouted, "Go and call me the second child." This bastard didn't hurt her daughter once, and she came to harm her for the second time.
Mr. Yan was still in the yamen. When he returned home at the beginning of the Youth hour, he went to Chunhui Hall to pay tribute to Mr. Yan. Mrs. Yan sat on the couch with the back of his hand behind him. Looking at Mr. Yan, he smiled and said, "Second, come here, mother has something to say to you."
