Chapter 81: Hiring the Yang House
On the sixth day of the 10th month, the sky was high and the air was clear. There was a joyful scene in front of the Yang Mansion Gate.
Prince Jinlan personally went to Taishi Yang's mansion to give gifts. Taishi Yang sat in the main hall and looked at the mountain of gifts piled up on the ground and smiled happily.
Prince Jinlan officially performed the ceremony of a father-in-law and son-in-law. Grand Master Yang helped Prince Jinlan up and said with a smile: "We will work together in the future!"
"The Grand Master is indeed a clear person!" Young Master Jinlan personally served tea and sat down.
Marriages of children of the gentry are all accessories of power. This is something everyone knows.
Rouxin stood behind Gongzi Jinlan, looking at what they said and did, glad that she was not a lady from a noble family. She didn't want to be a victim of political marriage.
Yang Yaxian was very happy when she heard that the young master Jinlan came to give a betrothal gift in the backyard. Her girl Yang Qing said enviously that her father had found a rich son-in-law. Yang Ying was blowing a cold wind aside.
"I heard that there is a girl named Rouxin in his room. She is gentle and has a cute personality like water!"
"I'll go and take a look and let her be more sensible!" Yang Qing said as she was about to go to the front hall, but Yang Yaxian grabbed her. She shook her head gently at Yang Qing.
"Sister! You can't bear to get angry after marrying you! Maybe that little fairy will climb onto your head and bully you!" Yang Qing didn't think of her second sister's temperament the most.
"That's not sure! I heard that he spoiled her very much?" Yang Ying used a wooden shovel to tick the soil in the flower pot.
"I won't fight with her!" Yang Yaxian said and went to her room.
Yang Ying threw the wooden shovel into the flower pot. She wanted to provoke trouble and embarrass Mr. Jinlan. However, Yang Yaxian was not fooled. How could she not be angry?
In the main hall, Young Master Jinlan had already placed his birth date with Yang Yaxian's horoscope.
The person invited by Master Yang came to see it and said, "They are a perfect match made by heaven!"
Rouxin, who was standing behind Gongzi Jinlan, was a little sad. She accidentally saw a pretty girl waving to her at the door.
Rouxin was about to walk over to see what was wrong with her, but was stopped by Prince Jinlan: "Don't go!"
Only then did Grandmaster Yang notice the soft heart behind Prince Jinlan. He only said one sentence: "Although my daughter is weak, if anyone bullies her, I, a father, cannot ignore it."
"Don't worry, Grand Master!" After saying that, Young Master Jinlan stood up and said goodbye.
Rouxin was called into the car by Gongzi Jinlan. She knew that she had made a mistake today, so she sat on the side bench and lowered her head without saying a word. Gongzi Jinlan kept looking at her with a cold face.
"Young Master! I know I am wrong!" Rouxin apologized in a low voice.
"Do you know what Master Yang meant?" Gongzi Jinlan turned to the topic.
"He is afraid that you will bully his daughter!" Rou blurted out without thinking.
Young Master Jinlan was immediately angry when she heard this. Why didn’t she have that stubbornness in her head?
"Of course, my husband won't bully her!" Rouxin looked at the young master Jinlan's face getting darker and darker, and hurriedly changed her mouth.
"Then who do you think will bully her?" Gongzi Jinlan stared at Rouxin's eyes patiently.
"Anyway, we won't bully her!" Rouxin didn't dare to look at Gongzi Jinlan's eyes.
"I married her just for the benefit of the family!" Gongzi Jinlan felt that it was necessary to explain.
Yang Yaxian is the victim of the political marriage! Rouxin was thinking in her heart.
When Young Master Jinlan saw that Rou's heart was gone, he said again: "You can stay away from her in the future!"
Why? Rouxin looked up at Gongzi Jinlan in confusion. Although she had doubts, she did not dare to ask.
Young Master Jinlan looked at Rouxin's confused expression and became angry again.
Fortunately, the carriage stopped. Young Master Jinlan got up and got out of the carriage. Rouxin quickly got out of the carriage.
Young Master Jinlan walked quickly. Rouxin held her skirt and chased her tightly. Feng Yan frowned and followed Rouxin.
"You are upsetting the young master again?"
Where can Rouxin have the time to take care of him? Young Master Jinlan has already entered the study.
"You are the young master's nemesis!" Feng Yan said mercilessly.
"I'm not!" Rou Xin turned around and shouted at Feng Yan.
"Cook tea!" Young Master Jinlan's voice came from the study.
Rouxin quickly went in and sat at the tea table. She skillfully arranged the tea ceremony.
Prince Jinlan picked up the Shujian but couldn't stand it. He slapped the Shujian on the table.
Rouxin was so scared that she brought the tea to the table. She quickly picked up the towel and wiped it.
"Come here!" Young Master Jinlan adjusted his emotions and called out.
Rouxin gently walked to one end of several cases and sat down. Young Master Jinlan looked at her and said word by word: "After I marry Yang Yaxian, I will take you as my concubine!"
"No!" Rouxin shouted in a hurry.
"Do you think I'm discussing with you?" Young Master Jinlan gritted his teeth and squinted his eyes at Rouxin.
"Since my master knows what I think, please let me go!" Rouxin said with a straightforward thought.
"No one will give you the life you want!" Gongzi Jinlan's eyebrows frowned.
"Please help me!" Rouxin knelt on the ground.
"Okay! I'll give you three years! If you can't find someone like that, you will stay by my side forever!" Gongzi Jinlan grabbed Shu Jian with his hands and closed his eyes.
"Thank you, young master!" Rouxin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Three years have not been short, but she can at least escape the present. At this time, she remembered Gongzi Qingqian and the promise between him and her.
Can he really abandon his glory and wealth and live a free life with himself? Rouxin sat at the tea table in a daze.
Young Master Jinlan began to regret what she said. Is three years too long? What if she really found someone who can stay with her forever in these three years, wouldn’t she lose her? I won’t give you this opportunity! Young Master Jinlan said in his heart.
"Young Master! Your wedding date is scheduled for the sixth day of next month. How about it?" Tuan walked in and reported.
"Okay! By the way! I'll tell you about this! Wait! I'll go back in person." Young Master Jinlan felt that it was time to go home. After all, it would be better to tell his parents about getting married.
This is the first time Rouxin has come to Ji's mansion. The luxury of this house is no less than that of the Fourth Prince's mansion. Rouxin is secretly amazed.
Mr. Ji was teasing birds in his garden. Young Master Jinlan walked over to salute.
“Is there anything important?”
"I will marry Yang Yaxian, the second daughter of Grandmaster Yang on the sixth day of next month!" Gongzi Jinlan said respectfully.
"Why don't you marry your eldest daughter? She is the one who can help you!" Old Master Ji put down his bird-fighting house and turned around.
Mr. Ji's eyebrows are rough and his expression is grim. It seems that Mr. Jinlan should be like her mother. Rouxin looked up slightly.
"Do you think it's appropriate for your son to marry her?" Gongzi Jinlan said coldly, pursing his lips.
"That's right! I understand!" Old Master Ji washed his hands in the copper basin brought by a girl.
Gongzi Jinlan turned around and left. Feng Yan and Rouxin hurriedly followed Gongzi Jinlan.
"Slowly! When did you raise a girl in your yard?" Old Master Ji called out to Gongzi Jinlan.
"This is my business!" Gongzi Jinlan continued to move forward.
"Oh! My son! You are finally back!" Young Master Jinlan's mother walked over in green clothes and tied the most popular bun nowadays.
"I've seen my mother!" Young Master Jinlan took his mother's arm after showing off. She glanced at Rouxin inadvertently.
Rouxin's heart couldn't help but jump up. She lowered her head and slowed down.
"Oh! Fourth Brother! She is your concubine! She looks so good!" A girl in a white printed long dress walked towards her.
"The third girl's new clothes are so beautiful!" Gongzi Jinlan's mother said with a smile.
"The Fourth Auntie is so lucky!" The Third Girl stopped and stepped aside.
When Rouxin passed by the third girl, she reached out to touch Rouxin's face.
Rouxin was so scared that she avoided her. Is she abnormal? Rouxin's heart pounding.
Feng Yan couldn't help but be happy. Young Master Jinlan stopped for a moment. Feng Yan instantly raised his face.
"That third girl must be crazy again!" Gongzi Jinlan's mother patted her son's hand and said.
"Will you worry about getting married?" Gongzi Jinlan stepped forward.
