On the first day of the third year of the first summer, Emperor Yu Wenyou led a cadre of ministers to the Taimiao Temple to enjoy the ritual of sacrifice, to serve seasonal melons and fruits, to sacrifice to the ancestors, to pray for the harvest, and to pray for the blessing of the country.

Because Yu Wenyou recently felt unwell, the hospital made Hu Yan take a dry doctor with him, and after the sacrifice, the emperor returned to the palace, the courtiers scattered, and Hu Yan also returned home in a green sedan chair.
When the sedan chair reached the west door, the old Longzhong's porter bowed down to greet him, and then said lightly: "Master, the second lady has an accident." ”
The fox in the sedan chair was closing his eyes to recuperate, vaguely heard the words of the old porter, suddenly opened his eyes, and then opened the sedan curtain and asked, "What did you say?"
The old porter repeated slowly: "The second lady had an accident, eloped with Mr. Xixi Gu, and captured the clansmen from Niangniang Temple, and the clan elders are waiting for you in the middle hall." ”
Hu Yan was like a thunderbolt for a moment, and sat in a daze for a long time before urging the sedan chair man: "Hurry up, go to the middle hall." ”
The two sedan chair men pulled their legs and galloped, and soon came to the instrument door, got off the sedan chair steadily, opened the sedan curtain to help Hu Yan down, Hu Yan rushed to the middle hall in three steps and two steps, more than a dozen steps away, the housekeeper Hu Lu saw it and hurriedly came forward.
Hu Yan'er heard the voices of the people in the middle hall, and it seemed that the clansmen had reached seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is Lan Yi?"
Hu Lu whispered: "The second lady is locked in the room, and the lady is watching." ”
Hu Yan then lowered his face: "What about Gu Weitian?"
Hu Lu pointed casually: "Mr. Xixi has been beaten half to death and locked up in the firewood room." ”
After asking all the concerned concerns, Hu Yan dressed himself and steadied his mind, and walked into the middle hall.
The unmarried daughter eloped with someone, according to the clan rules to drown in Shentang, and when the people of all clans saw that Hu Yan was back, they came forward to denounce Lan Yi, saying that she had lost the face of the fox clan and needed to be punished according to the clan rules.
Hu Yan listened calmly for a long time, then pressed his hands down, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said: "Let me ask clearly, after all, there are many good men and women who go to Niangniang Temple, why is my daughter given a crime of elopement." ”
He was obviously protecting his shortcomings, and several clan elders were angry: "You are not strict with your daughter, and you are covering up and conniving at the back, in vain you are still a person who reads poetry and books, and the second girl happened to show us when she was pulling and pulling with that Mr. Gu, isn't this an elopement." ”
There was a slight hint of unhappiness on Hu Yan's face, the fox clan belonged to his official body, and these clan elders relied on him to live, but now they actually pointed fingers at themselves, how could they have a handle in the hands of others, so they had to whisper: "You have to let me ask clearly." ”
The third uncle is the oldest, and he is past his old age, and he knocked the slippery crutches in his hand on the blue brick floor, and his snow-white beard was so angry that he raised his mouth, but his mouth was sonorous and powerful: "Don't forget, the second girl is a girl to be drafted, and once this matter is known to outsiders, what will be the consequences." ”
What are the consequences? The girl to be drafted is a person who has one foot in the palace gate, if she is unclean, according to the law, she will be admitted to the women's prison, and the responsibility is much greater than that of ordinary women.
In order to appease the emotions of the clansmen, he first scolded his daughter, and then scolded Xixi Gu Weitian, and vowed to find out about the matter, once it was determined that the elopement was true, he promised not to tolerate it.
The fourth uncle has a generous temperament, twisted his beard and said slowly: "What if you don't tolerate it, if you want the second girl to die, we won't come to you to discuss, just report to the yamen, even if the second girl is really dead, she has a bad reputation, and we will lose more than we gain." ”
In his own favor, Huyan nodded and bowed, not full of sycophancy.
In the end, the fifth uncle said: "After all, this is your family's business, and we are not convenient to take care of it too much, you can do it yourself, don't affect the whole clan, elope, embarrassed, if it spreads, hum, we are stunned in the capital." ”
Hu Yan blamed himself again and again, blaming himself for neglecting to discipline his daughter.
Everyone saw that his attitude was sincere, and it was better to suppress this matter, and Lan Yi lost people, and their faces were gloomy, so they told Hu Yan to disperse.
The hall was quiet, Hu Yan sat down on the chair tiredly, eloped and embarrassed, Lan Yi is a show girl, she eloped and was afraid of losing her life, she had to think of a perfect strategy, she had no clue for a while, she was going to talk to her daughter first, Gu Weitian was the Xixi seat who taught her son Shao Gong, and he didn't see Lan Yi having dealings with him, why did he suddenly elope, it's really strange.
Thinking like this, he got up and went to the back house, all the way to Lan Yi's boudoir in a trance, there were two rough envoys standing at the door of the room, and when they saw him, they bowed their heads and said, "Master." ”
Kitsune pointed to the door: "Open." ”
The mother-in-law untied the key from the waist of the bucket, clicked open the old iron lock on it, the door opened, and the fox walked in, and just crossed the threshold, the door behind him slammed shut, and he was frightened.
The mother-in-law is also helpless, Mrs. Helan has explained that the second lady almost has hysteria, otherwise how can she elope with Xixi, so be optimistic.
This is actually Helan's greasing and powdering of his daughter's ugly deeds to cover up, knowing that he can't cover it, it's good to deceive himself.
Hu Yan shook his head helplessly and walked inside, and after twelve snow gauze landscape screens embroidered by Lan Yi himself, he saw his daughter crooked on the kang and staring at the roof, she was the only one in the room, and the personal maid Qiuluo didn't know where she went.
"Daddy. ”
Hearing the footsteps, Lan Yi turned his head sideways to look at it and called lazily.
Hu Yan's heart softened, and he snorted angrily: "It seems that you haven't gone completely crazy, and you still know how to call your father, but why are you ...... with Mr. Gu" The word elopement as a father he really couldn't speak, and continued: "Dad doesn't believe that you can do such a thing, say, is there any trouble, Mr. Gu asked you to go to the Niangniang Temple? Or are you obviously going to the Niangniang Temple to make incense?"
Lan Yi stood up and looked at the incriminating evidence on the kang table, a huge burden, which contained her clothes and silver jewelry, elopement, these are necessary.
Hu Yan followed her gaze, then sighed, pointed to his daughter and said: "What's so good about that Gu Weitian, besides, you are about to enter the palace, with your appearance, he will be unattainable in the future, and his reputation will be ruined because of a Xixi, what is good for you to let your father say." ”
Lan Yi lay down again, like a withered log, and spit out two words straight: "Curious." ”
Fox Yan's eyes narrowed: "Okay, curious!"
Fox Yan really couldn't cry or laugh.
This second girl is stubborn by nature and often does some jaw-dropping things.
When he was seven years old, he cut his finger with a knife and wrote a blood letter to his father, just because his father nagged a few words, such as the second girl was not as obedient as her sister, and so on.
When she was twelve years old, she poisoned the housekeeper, and the reason was that the housekeeper told Mrs. Helan about her sneaking out of the house, but fortunately the poison was only Croton, and the housekeeper ran dozens of times a day to the toilet and almost died.
When she was fourteen years old, the matchmaker came to her to propose marriage, and the second girl led the family's big black dog to chase the matchmaker all over the yard, and lost a pair of embroidered shoes from the matchmaker, and finally Huyan almost paid someone a pair of shoes made of pure gold, because it was the official media, I don't know how many marriages of rich and noble families have been matched, and they are familiar with the officialdom.
Now that this second girl is sixteen years old, she made a shocking incident of eloping with Xixi, and she actually said that it was because of curiosity, and when she heard this outside, she must have felt that Lan Yi was talking nonsense, but Hu Yanxin, the second girl in the family was so curious that she even wanted to try what it was like to die.
Because of curiosity, ruined his own reputation and ruined his father's reputation and even the family's reputation, Hu Yan was so angry that he smoked, how could this be a daughter and not a son, he couldn't beat and scold and scold, only sighed and sighed out of Lan Yi's boudoir, and returned to the upper room to see Mrs., Helan and his eldest daughter Lan Yi were there, and it was exactly what Lan Yi was talking about, Helan blindly wept, Lan Yi kept being relieved, seeing Hu Yan coming back, Helan beat his chest and cried: "Master, the family is unfortunate!"
