Chapter 55 Sickness
Wang didn't listen to Yan Xiang's words, but she still stared at Yan Huo and decided that Yan Huo was the little lucky star, so she said it correctly. Yan Huo smiled in Wang's expectant gaze, "I want to touch my nephew now."
After receiving this sentence, Wang smiled with satisfaction: "Twelve sisters can touch it if you want."
Yan Hu walked over and touched Wang's belly, which was not yet pregnant. Seeing the two of them so close, Yan Xiang was secretly angry, and the corners of his lips were pursed tightly, so that the sick girl could touch her stomach. She was not afraid of getting sick.
Sickness!
Yan Xiang's eyes flashed and he said, "Twelve Sister, you should stay away from your eldest sister-in-law. You just sneezed in the morning."
The meaning of the words made Yan Huo very angry and he retorted her without hesitation, "Six sister is not old, why is her memory so bad? How could I sneeze in the morning? I have grown up and will not get sick any more."
Mrs. Yan stared at Yan Xiang with sharp eyes. The education of the third room seemed to be a problem. She smiled faintly and said, "Xiaoxiao is born prematurely and has no way to make people sick. What's more, there is no need to care about these things between relatives."
"Yes, yes, twelve sisters will be healthy and never get sick again." Wang stretched out his hand to hug Yan Huo, who was covering his mouth and shrank back into his arms. The little man looked pitiful, which was really heartbreaking.
Yan Xiang lowered his head and said nothing. Mrs. Yan and Wang's protection of Yan Hu made her very jealous. Where is Yan Hu? It made these people love her so much in their past and present lives. Yan Zhi looked at Yan Xiang, frowned slightly.
Everyone drank a cup of tea, talked for a while, and then left.
After leaving Wang's yard, he walked to the fork road, and everyone went their own way. Yan Zhi followed Yan Xiang into her yard and asked her: "Why do you say that kind of words in front of your sister-in-law?"
"What kind of words?" Yan Xiang pretended to be confused.
"Since the birth of the Twelve Sister, you have not liked her. I know you envy her for being favored by her grandmother, but don't forget that your father is a concubine's son. After all, it has nothing to do with her grandmother. The Twelve Sister is the grandmother's legitimate granddaughter, so it is natural for her grandmother to love her. What's more, the grandmother treats you well, and you should be content with your sixth sister." Yan Zhi advised earnestly.
Yan Xiang pursed his lips and said nothing. What is the same girl from the Yan family, who is not as good as Yan Hu?
"A family of sisters are close friends, and they have been in the boudoir for more than ten years. When they leave the palace, they can't even get along well. The twelve sister is five or six years younger than you and is weaker. You should have cherished her more, why are you bullying her?" Yan Zhi couldn't understand Yan Xiang's approach.
"There are so many people who cherish her, so I'm not alone." Yan Xiang curled his lips.
Hearing this, Yan Zhi felt that Yan Xiang was jealous of Yan Huo and frowned and said, "Sixth sister, if you really don't like the Twelve sisters, then stay away from her and ignore her."
"Okay, I understand." Yan Xiang replied in response without wanting to listen to Yan Zhi's long-winded words.
Yan Zhi wanted to say something, and the maid came over to invite her, "The third wife had something to say to the third lady." Yan Zhi had no choice but to go to see her mother first.
On the other side, Mrs. Yan went to Chunhuitang. She did not tell Mrs. Yan Xiang about the sick words she had said, but only said: "Mother, I heard that there are aunts in the palace to release them. Do you think you are asking a few of them to come back and teach a few girls?"
Mrs. Yan only thought that she was considering Yan Qi and Yan Zhi who were about to get married. The eldest daughter-in-law was fair and thoughtful. She was lucky to have such an eldest daughter-in-law. Mrs. Yan smiled and said, "You ask, see if Zeng Siyou, who used to serve Concubine Rong in Jingqi Palace, would she be released? If she was also on the list of releases, please invite the person back."
"The daughter-in-law will ask someone to inquire later." Mrs. Yan agreed.
The mansion wanted to invite my aunt soon spread. Yan Zhi vaguely felt that it was caused by what Yan Xiang said in the morning, but asking for advice is a good thing after all. I hope that my sister sixth is more sensible in the future and not to show that she is separated from her twelve sister.
The next day, Song Chenglin came to Yan's house with generous gifts to pay New Year's greetings. Looking at the gentle and polite Song Chenglin, Mrs. Yan's eyes were complicated. The second brother received the reply. Although the two families were given the marriage to her and Taifu Yan, in the letter, the second brother said that the young man had a pure character and was very good in all aspects. The implication was that he wanted the young man to be his son-in-law.
"Jie Fu (Song Chenglin's name), don't be too polite, sit down and talk well." Mrs. Yan said kindly; Mrs. Yan has concerns about this marriage. The Song family uses legitimate sons to match the concubine's daughter. Is there anything wrong with it? Generally, even the concubine's sons in the high-ranking families would rather find a legitimate daughter with a similar family than marry a fair daughter. Although the old man is the Grand Tutor and is above the Song Shangshu, the second son is only a fourth-rank official.
"Thank you, old lady." Song Chenglin sat down and said respectfully.
"How is Jie Fu's chess skill?" asked Taifu Yan.
"I know the fur a little." Song Chenglin replied modestly.
Although playing chess is just a small matter, it can be seen from the perspective of the leopard. Taifu Yan wanted to see his character by playing chess. As the saying goes, chess quality is like character, and kung fu is beyond chess.
Taifu Yan asked: "Can you read "The Thirteen Chapters of Chess"?"
"I have read it." Song Chenglin replied.
"In the Xizheng chapter, chess is based on the name of deception and robbery and killing. Isn't it a weird way? What do you think?" Taifu Yan continued to ask.
Song Chenglin smiled slightly and said, "Xiaosen thinks this is a fallacy. Although Go belongs to the minor path, its essence is consistent with military strategy. Only people with lower chess skills have no careful considerations, so as to turn fraud with abilities to achieve the goal of winning and losing. People with excellent chess skills have carefully considered and adapted to the specific situation. Before making a move, they have made up their minds to plan the way to win. How can they say fraud?"
"The book is so shallow, so it's better to play a game with me." Taifu Yan stroked his beard and smiled.
"It is better to obey your orders than to be respectful to a young student." Song Chenglin agreed happily.
The old and the young left Chunhui Hall and went to the study of Taifu Yan in the outer courtyard to play chess. In the afternoon, Song Chenglin had lunch at the Yan family and said goodbye. Taifu Yan returned to Chunhui Hall and said to Mrs. Yan: "This marriage is good."
Mrs. Yan asked someone to ask Mrs. Chen to express his willingness to marry. Mrs. Yan San couldn't help but complain in front of Mr. Yan San, "The old man and the old lady are really too partial. I don't care about the marriage between the third girl and I just do my best to the fourth girl."
