Yizhi watched the master come out of the main house of Baochun Ju with his robe on, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the marriage of the two people.

His master and son were married early. In those years, early marriage was still popular, girls said they were married at the age of thirteen, and boys said they were married at the age of fifteen. The old lady Yan and the Yan family divided the clan, at first life was not easy, the old lady gambled, to make the old lady's house the most prosperous and the most developed branch of the Yan family's clan, so she gave the eldest son Zhang a daughter-in-law early, married at the age of fifteen, and the eldest grandson was born at the age of sixteen.

At that time, his master had not yet come out, and the old lady could only find the right people's homes when she picked her daughter-in-law, and the old lady's mother's family was in business, so the daughter-in-law also looked for the merchants. Mrs. Yan's Sui, born in a businessman, several brothers in the family, only one of her daughters, has been pampered since she was a child, and the family environment is relatively simple, the old lady feels that such a daughter-in-law is easier to control, as for whether the education received in the civilian academy can be compatible with her son, this is not at all within the scope of the old lady's consideration, love and affection, know and love each other, and in a few years, it will become the benefit of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

At that time, her eldest son was traveling with a few friends, and the old lady was anxious to settle the matter--what about the second and third children in the back, and what should the first two brothers do after the eldest did not get married?

The woman's family is actually in a hurry - Yan Zike They have seen it, they don't have to pick their appearance, it is said that the article is good, such an excellent son-in-law, the cliff is a potential stock, and now he is not in a hurry to settle down, and when he really passes the exam, he can still look at their daughter?

So the two adults hurriedly completed all the preliminary work, and when Yizhi his master came back from outside, this marriage was a foregone conclusion.

Yizhi hadn't followed Yan Zike at that time, so he didn't know what kind of mental journey his master had experienced about this matter at that time, if he let him choose by himself, he would never marry such a woman again. Maybe it's because the parents' orders can't be violated, and maybe the matter has been known to everyone, and if you regret it, you will hurt other girls' girls for a lifetime, or maybe it's ...... The master was still a normal person at that time, not as ...... as he is now Nerve.

Or, when the master agreed to marry the girl of the Sui family, he also had a longing for this marriage.

Pity. Two people with different realms live together, and they can withstand the plain like water, and they can't withstand the changes.

Sui has received civilian education since she was a child, and her vision and mind can only be confined to this back house. But she is the only daughter of her mother's family, and she has enjoyed the favor of a unique child since she was a child, and she is used to this unique child, and she takes it for granted that everyone around her should treat her and her children like this.

So once someone comes to divide this favor and reconcile, she feels that this is not "common sense", she has not experienced such a thing since she was a child, she instinctively defends her "rights", she wants to fight back what "should" belong to her.

She doesn't ask others to do this to her, but her husband is the closest person to her, and she thinks that her husband is the most deserving of this, even if not 100% for her, but 100% for their children, because that's how her father and mother treated her, it's the inheritance of family habits and emotions, and she doesn't think it's wrong.

Yizhi felt that the Sui family was pitiful and ridiculous. She is so "simple", even if she uses the means she uses, she is superficial and naïve, which may also be attributed to the simplicity of her mother's backyard environment, no one has personally demonstrated to her what it means to kill without a knife, and no one has taught her how to hold her husband's heart.

Even if you can't think what he thinks, always try to love what he loves.

Eighteen years of marriage, even if there is no love that fits the heart, there is always time to accumulate respect, but she slowly wears out this respect little by little, no matter how much patience and tolerance can not withstand repeated use of harm to eat, the damage she gave is not enough to make him hurt, but enough to make his heart slowly cold.

It's not that she doesn't understand some words, she just thinks that her husband is easy to fool, and he is unaware of the gods. She didn't know that she was overdrawing the trust and patience that her husband had given her, playing with her little cleverness in front of him again and again, and playing with her little tricks in front of his nieces, and she never thought deeply that the reason why these two people tolerated one and pressed the other was so that his marriage with her could maintain harmony and peace.

And Yizhi is glad for Mrs. Yan that her "simplicity" has maintained the last thread of this marriage for her.

Her superficial cognition, her childish methods, all prove at least one thing:

The person who drugged Miss Seven was not her.

She didn't have such a deep mind and long-lasting patience to stab a black knife that would take more than ten years to see the effect.

In this matter, his master did not suspect her, but she repeatedly displayed her childish attack in front of a man who killed eleven murderers with an arrow like a duster, so that his master could not bear to look at it any longer.

The words he said to her just now in the upper room were both a warning and a last bit of dignity for her.

has been married for eighteen years, even if it is this kind of heavy talk on Cheng dù, he has never said it to her, this is the first time, but I am afraid it will be the last time.

……

Early in the morning of the eleventh day of September, the Yan family got up and began to get busy, the busiest was of course Mrs. Yan, who sat down in the hugging of the weekday director before dawn, and called the people in charge one by one, and then went down to the cards piece by piece.

The second girl Yan had already helped to take care of the house, and she came from the back yard, and was shocked when she saw her mother: "Mother, why are your eyes swollen?"

"I haven't held a big banquet in the house for a few years, thinking that I am afraid of going on a business trip, and I have something in my heart, and I didn't sleep well last night," Mrs. Yan smiled reluctantly, "It's okay, I'll let people cook eggs, and I'll take them and rub them for a while." ”

Miss Yan pursed her lips and didn't say much.

Mrs. Yan looked at her growing daughter, pulled her in front of her, and carefully checked her dress today, today she is the protagonist, she must be bright and outstanding to live up to this fanfare, even Xiao Wu can only wear that more restrained clothes today, just so as not to take away the glory of her sister.

The second girl Yan was very carefully dressed up today according to Mrs. Yan's intentions, with a delicate lily bun, a hairpin with a fiery red crane dancing chrysanthemum, two soybean-sized rubbers on her ears, a light gold and red two-color flowering robe and a red peony pattern gold brocade skirt, no color can overwhelm this body, and her face is also covered with makeup, her facial features are like Mrs. Yan, and her temperament is like her father.

When Mrs. Yan was looking at her daughter's outfit in the hugging building, Yan Qi was also sitting in Xia Ju's own room looking at the people in the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

Mrs. Yan probably never thought that the clothes with clear soup and little water she sent to Yan Qi the day before yesterday could be worn by Yan Qi for twelve points. Yan Qi's skin is very white, and if she changes to others, wearing such light clothes will inevitably look pale and thin, but she is not a sick lady in the boudoir, and there is a certain strength in her aura, which makes this soft color have a backbone.

"That's not a bad look. "Boiling Yu is finally happy, and after taking the silver jewelry given by Mrs. Yan, he will give Yan Qi to put it on his head.

"Don't wear that anymore, it's old-fashioned. Yan Qi was still only holding a single snail, and turned out a string of white dasy carved from the jewelry box, and the stamen was inlaid with creamy yellow beeswax, which was simply wrapped around the snail bun, looking extremely refreshing.

"Girl, wipe rouge?" boiled the rain shouted, like a vendor selling pirated CDs to passers-by at the entrance of the overpass.

"No, it's not convenient to eat if you rub fat on your mouth. "Yan Qidao.

…… We can't forget to eat.

After packing up and going to the front yard for breakfast, Yan Xiaojiu was already waiting at the table, and when he saw his sister coming in lightly, she raised her eyebrows first, and then sank her eyebrows.

"You're wearing this?" Yan Qi looked at his brother's celadon robe, which was lighter than hers, "There are many little girls who will come to visit today." ”

“……”

After eating, I have to go to the upper room, and for today's banquet, except for Yan Xiaoshi, every child has to take on part of the responsibility of hospitality, and this time I have to get together first and then listen to the elders explain the details.

When the Yan Qi sisters and brothers arrived at the upper room, Mrs. Yan had already arrived, and when she saw that Yan Qi was really wearing that set of clothes, her face became complicated again, and she called her forward with a forced smile, took her hand and looked at it on her face, and said softly: "The things on this head are still a little plain, I have a set of thirteen kinds of red gold inlaid beads there, let Song Yun take it for you to wear." ”

"Auntie, don't break the bank, I still have to participate in the training of the riding and archery club every day, I can't wear gold and silver, I'm afraid I will lose it again," Yan Qidao, "Besides, the gold is too heavy, and I want to grow up." ”

Mrs. Yan laughed, and finally took off a gold bracelet inlaid with jade from her wrist and put it on Yan Qi's hand.

Young Master Yan Jiu took the tea and blocked the corner of his lips with a smile. The so-called kindness turns out to be to hit you with gold and silver. This is not to blame her, thinking about the three views that she has heard and seen since she was a child, that is, "money can represent a qiē".

Yan Qi didn't refuse, thanked Mrs. Yan, and sat on the small kang by the window to wait for everyone to arrive.

When Yan Zike entered the house, Mrs. Yan couldn't help but reddened her eyes, last night's heavy words made her almost cry in the room alone, she never thought that one day her husband would treat her like this, he got up, took the robe that had been taken off, and walked so detached and indifferent, as if she was just a passerby, and the love of eighteen years seemed to never exist. She had never been so afraid, she thought that she had given birth to four children for him, and even if she was in the future, she would never be rejected and ignored by him.

She thought that he who never got angry must be soft-hearted, but she didn't expect that someone who didn't get angry would be able to collapse your world in an instant.

Yan Zike was followed by the fourth young master Yan, yesterday he squeezed out half of the house and slept with his father for a night, and when he woke up, he was resurrected with full blood, as if yesterday's killing was just a nightmare.

"Mother, why are your eyes red? Do you make the five girls angry again?" Fourth Young Master Yan grinned at Mrs. Yan.

"Nonsense again......" Mrs. Yan hurriedly covered up, and before she could come up with an excuse, her son had already gone to talk to Yan Qi: "Seventh sister, your clothes are so beautiful today, like a little chrysanthemum, just don't stand in the chrysanthemums for a while, I won't be able to find you when I stand there, most of the yellow chrysanthemums are outside." ”

Mrs. Yan became more and more embarrassed when she heard this, and she didn't dare to look at her husband's face, so she only panicked and said to Yan Qi: "It's because I didn't think about it, I only thought about the yellow color shining on people, but I forgot to recolor with the flowers, your second sister has a few sets of new clothes that have not been put on, let her take you to pick and choose to change!"

"This body is very good," Yan Qidao said, "I can't show that I'm fat when I stand in the flowers, and they all say that I am very suitable for this body, and I still want to wear it for Ah Yue and Xiao Lotus to show them." ”

Mrs. Yan was somewhat relieved by these words, but she still didn't dare to look at her husband, so she sat back sneeringly, but fortunately, the people in the third room also came, and immediately diverted the words.

Mrs. Yan invited a group of high-ranking guests this time, of course, if it weren't for Yan Zike, those real magnates would not reward you for this face, in order to prevent snubbing the guests, this time the Yan family was all dispatched, and even the two aunts were brought out to help.

At the morning family meeting presided over by Mrs. Yan, each member of the Yan family was reiterated about the work and area they were responsible for, and then they collectively moved to the flower hall in the front yard and waited for the guests to come to the door.

At more than nine o'clock, the first batch of guests arrived, Young Master Yan and Young Master Yan Jiu were responsible for welcoming guests in the gate, Yan Zike Yan Ziheng was responsible for picking up guests in the Yimen, wives and aunts were attracting guests in the main courtyard, and the second young master Yan and the fourth young master and the young ladies were entertaining male and female guests respectively in the flower hall.

Mr. He was also invited out to sit in the guest seat, such a rare occasion, Mr. He was also willing to make friends with people in the upper circle, so he dressed up carefully, wore a shirt embroidered with bamboo patterns on a yellow background, a silk skirt with purple grapes, painted exquisite makeup, and a large chrysanthemum with purple petals and yellow edges on the back of his head.

Miss Yan sat with her, and in order to set off her sister today, she only wore a peacock blue skirt, drinking tea and occasionally looking out of the hall, until she heard that the Cui family was coming, and her eyes lit up.

Yan Qi came out of the hall, and saw Cui Xuan with a stinky face from a distance, and there was someone not far behind him who quietly pointed him to turn his head and ear, and when he got closer, Yan Qi said to him: "You are red, keep up the good work, don't be proud." ”

"I've beaten you!" Cui Xuan was angry, "Pour tea for my brother!"

"Where's Xiao Si?" Yan Qi looked behind him and saw Cui Chunyi and Mrs. Cui talking with Yan Zike.

"As soon as I got off the carriage at the door, the guy named Kang Shao from Dongxi Academy stopped me," Cui Xuan said, "I said that I wanted to exchange ideas with him about setting up organs—you guys are going to fight against Dongxi this afternoon, right? ”

"Is there a handicap here?" Yan Qi praised the gambling nature of the people of the Heavenly Dynasty.

"Why not," Cui Xuan smiled, "Ask your fourth uncle to go, he bought Dongxi to win." ”

"...... "What's going on here!" Fourth uncle, don't you always come out at this time to save your zài sense!

As he spoke, he saw Cui Xi and Kang Shao walking far away while talking, Yan Qi didn't know that the Kang family was also the guest of honor of the Yan family this time, but he was the host and guest in the morning and the opponent in the afternoon, and it was a little embarrassing to think about it.

Kang Shao still remembered Yan Qi, and saw her from a distance and beckoned to her with a smile: "Miss Yan Qi, meet again." ”

"Ang, Captain Kang will eat more in a while, which can be regarded as compensation for us winning your hospital in the afternoon. Yan Qi also greeted him.

"......" The corners of Kang Shao's mouth twitched slightly, are you calling a greeting?!Are you calling hospitality a way of hospitality?!You are too direct and rude to give Ma Wei!

Cui Xi stood next to him and laughed, Yan Qi looked at him, and saw that his complexion was good, wearing a royal blue carved silk robe, with a belt with red gold ginkgo biloba leaf pattern around his waist, and a hairpin with a red gold ginkgo leaf head on his head, lined with a white and delicate face, the whole person was like a piece of mutton fat white jade inlaid with blue crystal and gold wire edge, which attracted the first few official wives in the flower hall to look outside.

Cui Xi ignored the gazes of others, and only took out a pair of white tassel earrings made in the style of weeping silk chrysanthemums from the purse he carried with him and handed them to Yan Qi: "Made of white peacock feathers." ”

Yan Qi took it over, and immediately picked off the bead-type clams earrings that he had originally worn on his ears, and put on the pair of pendulum chrysanthemum tassel pendants: "It's just right, with my body today." ”

Miss Yan Wu withdrew her gaze from the hall, and her hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.
