Chapter 78 Marrying a Daughter-in-law
A few days passed by. On the fourth day of the fifth month, the four brothers of the Min family and Fu Zhixing came to greet Mrs. Yan together in the morning. After Min Zichang bowed to Mrs. Yan, he came to Yan Hu and said, "Xiaoxiao."
"Call me," Yan Huo corrected him.
"Xiaoxiao, will you go to see dragon boaters tomorrow on the Dragon Boat Festival?" Min Zichang asked.
Yan Huo shook his head, "Don't go."
"Why not go? It's fun and there are a lot of delicious food." Min Zichang said, licking his lips.
"I feel uncomfortable." Yan Huo said unhappily.
Seeing that her face was not very good, Fu Zhixing picked her up and asked with concern: "What's wrong, but I'm sick?"
"I have eaten too much rice dumplings and my stomach hurts." Yan Huo had already gone to the clean room for five times. The doctor left before they came.
"How many zongzi have you eaten?" Fu Zhixing asked.
Yan Huo lowered his head and whispered, "Three, Three." He was afraid that Fu Zhixing would misunderstand that she was a fool foodie, so he quickly looked up and explained, "Little one, not a big one."
Fu Zhixing looked at her clear eyes and smiled and said, "Although you are a small rice dumpling, you have weak spleen and stomach. Don't eat too much at one time. If you like eating rice dumplings, just let the cook wrap it for you every few days, and it's fine."
"I understand." Yan Huo responded obediently.
The four brothers of the Min family and Fu Zhixing stayed at Yan's house for a quarter of an hour. Fu Zhixing watched Yan Hae drink medicine before leaving with confidence. At noon, Yan Hae drank a bowl of porridge and went to take a nap. Yu Fangfei also returned to her yard, but she did not take a nap, but carefully dressed up and changed into pink butterflies wearing a satin brocade-crown skirt. This was what Mrs. Yan asked her to do in the sewing room after she became a filial piety.
He combed a fallen horse bun and wore the red-faced head and face. He had bright eyes and white teeth, and was as beautiful as a dripping color. In the Shen Shimo, Yu Fangfei said that she wanted to pick flowers and make sachets, and took two little maids to the garden. She went to the garden she needed to go to Chunhuiyuan from outside the mansion.
Yan Xiang's eyeliner beside Yu Fangfei's side, her movements were soon spread to Yan Xiang's ears by the maid. Yan Xiang thought for a moment and sneered: "The drunken man's intention is not to drink."
Yu Fangfei is indeed not for picking flowers. She came here to meet Tang Hua. God did not let her down and did not let her wait for a long time. Tang Hua appeared in front of her. Tang Hua was wearing a blue brocade robe, a belt of the same color, and a jade pendant hung around her waist.
"Is the prince here to pay tribute to the old lady?" Yu Fangfei asked knowingly, and used it as a reply.
"Yes, what is Miss Yu doing?" Tang asked with a faint smile.
Yu Fangfei's eyes lit up. He remembered her and said with a slightly red cheek: "I'll pick flowers and make sachets."
"Then I won't bother Miss Yu." Tang Wei was graceful and walked past Yu Fangfei, with a hint of mockery flashing across his lips. He had met such a girl who met him on the road on excuses many times. Tang Wei didn't mind taking a beautiful orphan like Yu Fangfei as a bed-warming maid. He would never marry a woman with no foundation as his wife.
"Criminal, I'm going to Chunhuiyuan to pay tribute to the old lady, too." Yu Fangfei caught up with her and said.
Tang Xu smiled back and said, "Then let's go together."
"Okay." Yu Fangfei said happily.
However, the two of them walked side by side before they walked a few steps. Mrs. Yan had already led their daughter-in-law and granddaughter out to pick them up after hearing the news. Seeing Yu Fangfei and Tang Wei walking together, Mrs. Yan frowned slightly.
"Grandma, I picked flowers in the garden and happened to meet the prince." Yu Fangfei was a little nervous. She knew that Mrs. Yan didn't like the people in the Chu Prince's Mansion, and she still had to rely on Mrs. Yan now.
Yan Xiang laughed twice and interrupted, "That's really a coincidence."
He welcomed Tang Shu into Chunhui Hall, left his seat, and said something similar to last year's polite words. In the evening, Tang Shu left, Mrs. Yan asked her maid to call Aunt Chen, who taught Yu Fangfei, and told her a few words.
After the Dragon Boat Festival and the afternoon of the sixth day of the lunar month, when Aunt Chen was teaching Yu Fangfei the rules, she said casually: "A family has a girl and a hundred families to ask for it. Good girls always ask for a man's home to come to ask for it. That is the temperament and the elegance. It will only make people look down upon it when they are rushing to the door."
Yu Fangfei is a smart girl. She knew that Mrs. Yan was placing her with Aunt Chen's mouth. But although she understood, Yu Fangfei secretly curled her lips disdainfully. If she had a mother from the uncle's house or a mother from the prince's house, she could wait for someone to come to marry like Yan Rong and Yan Huo. Her parents were both dead and had no choice but to rely on her. If she didn't plan for her, she would probably have to marry a student who had passed the exam in the future. She was a girl from a foreign surname, and the dowry that the Yan family could give her would definitely not be too generous. She would have to save money at that time so that she would not live a hard life with such a person.
However, Yu Fangfei didn't want to offend Mrs. Yan. When she greeted Mrs. Yan in the evening, she explained tactfully, "When I was picking flowers before, I didn't notice the prince of Chu and came to me."
"Be careful in the future." Mrs. Yan still hoped that Yu Fangfei could listen to the advice and not mislead herself. Tang Wei was not a good man, especially an orphan like Yu Fangfei.
On the evening of the day, Uncle Yan entered Chunhui Hall happily, "Mother, my son has congratulated you, Tong'an's marriage has been settled."
Mrs. Yan was also thinking about the marriage of the eldest grandson of the second house. When she heard the eldest son say this, she asked with a smile: "Whose girl is it?"
"The girl from Zhongdebo's Mansion." Uncle Yan smiled.
"Why does his family like Tong'an?" Old Mrs. Yan was a little surprised. The Yan family and the Ma family in Zhongdebo Mansion did not have much contact. Although he knew that the girl in Zhongdebo Mansion was about the same age as Yan Tong'an, he had never thought about getting married at all.
"This..." Uncle Yan couldn't answer this question.
Mrs. Yan said cautiously: "You go and ask carefully, and also ask Tong'an what he meant."
Uncle Yan went out to find his nephew to talk about this matter. Mrs. Yan also asked Mrs. Yan and Princess Nanping about the situation of Mrs. Zhongdebo and the eldest lady. Mrs. Yan recalled for a moment and said, "Mrs. Zhongdebo is quite kind."
Princess Nanping said, "He is a generous girl and looks very beautiful."
After hearing what the two daughters-in-law said, Mrs. Yan recognized the marriage a little, but Yan Tong'an was the grandson, so it was difficult to go over to Master Yan and Fang. In the evening, Grand Tutor Yan wrote a letter to Jiangning and talked about this with Master Yan and Fang.
In mid-summer, although the weather is good, it is a bad month, and everything is unlucky; in June, it is not suitable to marry and do weddings. However, it also hinders the relationship between men and women. For example, Wei Yan took Wei Liniang to the temple to see him on the grounds of incense.
The next day, Wei Liniang ran to her little cousin Yan Huo and complained, "Do you know who my mother asked me to meet?"
Yan Huo shook his head. The marriage he found for his daughter would not be too outrageous no matter what.
"That man is not very thin, he looks like a little chicken. I can kill him with one hand." Wei Liniang was so disgusted that she was very reluctant.
Wei Yan's family must be a child of an official to Wei Liniang, and she is not as poor as she can't go much. Yan Huo couldn't imagine who would raise a young man like a little chicken, and asked curiously: "Which boy is it?"
Wei Liniang thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the youngest son of Zuosi Cheng of Dali Temple."
Yan Hu was not very clear about the official position in the court. He didn't know what kind of official the Dali Temple Zuoshi Cheng was. However, with Wei Yan's personality, he should have found a family with a similar connection. Yan Hu had never seen the youngest son of Dali Temple Zuoshi Cheng, and he didn't know what he looked like. He asked, "Cousin Li, what do you like? Tell me, I'll tell my eldest aunt and let her find that."
Wei Liniang was not embarrassed and said directly: "I want to find the black whirlwind in the playbook."
Yan Hu's mouth twitched. Although the black whirlwind of this era is not the same as the black whirlwind of Yan Hu in modern times, the image is still similar. My eldest uncle is a white-faced scholar, and my eldest aunt also has a fair skin. Most girls in Beijing like elegant scholars and young masters. How is the aesthetic of their cousin distorted?
Yan Huo, who was puzzled, still told Wei Liniang's request to Wei Yan. After hearing this, Wei Yan almost passed away. What his daughter liked was too different! But for the future harmony between her husband and wife, she decided to follow her daughter's wishes, although she would be a little disgusted when she saw her son-in-law in the future.
Not only Wei Yan's daughter wanted to marry, but also King Chu. Princess Yijia was already in the forefront and could get married. He thought that if the eldest daughter could join him with a family that would help him, it would definitely be good for him to seize the throne. The King of Chu was in a hot heart.
After the King of Chu pulled the young men of various prefectures in the capital, he targeted Ji Shaoting, the prince of Weiyuan Hou. In fact, what he wanted to win over most was his aunt, Princess Chengyang, but he also knew that Princess Chengyang did not like him, so he would not get into trouble.
After retreating from the court that day, the King of Chu stopped Weiyuan Marquis with a smile, "Brother Ji, Brother Ji."
Seeing that King Chu was like this, Marquis Weiyuan had an ominous premonition and bowed, "What advice does the prince have?"
"That's right, the son is almost eighteen years old, his little girl is fifteen years old, and I want to be your in-laws." The King of Chu came directly.
"The prince thanked him for his love. He was a martial man. He was rude and could not stand up to the prince's beloved daughter." Weiyuan Hou was a royalist and would never have any connection with the ambitious King of Chu. After saying that, he pulled his feet away, for fear that he would go slowly, so he married his son to the tragedy and went home.
Turning back, Marquis Weiyuan sent his son to his brother's place in the border. The boys around said that they didn't want to marry so early and stayed in the capital. If the King of Chu uses a secret trick that Ji Shaoting has to marry Princess Yijia, it would be troublesome. Therefore, it is safest to send people far away. The King of Chu can't send Princess Yijia too.
Marquis of Weiyuan was clearly unwilling to marry, and the King of Chu could not force him, so he had to choose another person. But before he could choose, Princess Yijia heard the news and came to him and spoke directly: "Father, I want to marry Brother Wujiu."
The King of Chu looked at her and his daughter had the same good vision as him, but at the birthday party that day, he also realized that Fu Zhixing would never be willing to marry his daughter. "Yijia, it's not that the father would not let you marry Wujiu, but that Wujiu would not marry you, so you should change someone."
"If you don't change, I will not marry anyone except him. If you dare to betroth me to someone else, I will go to the palace to tell the emperor's grandfather." Princess Yijia said this and turned around and left, no matter how worried the King of Chu was.
Fortunately, although Princess Yijia was in love with Fu Zhixing, she was not the monarch of Chenghe County. She was not so unrestrained and dared to chase Fu Zhixing all over the streets. The monarch of Chenghe County was mourning for a year and was trapped in the mansion and could not leave the door, so Fu Zhixing said a lot of less "get out" in one day.
