Chonglan had a bad premonition in her heart, but she didn't rush to speak, and listened to him quietly.

Mama Wei's expression was faintly arrogant, but the smile on her face did not decrease in the slightest: "The day before yesterday on the safari ground, our eldest young master's heart girl also saw it, and I thought about it in my heart, so I will say hello to the girl first." ”

She paused slightly, and then said: "Our old lady is most distressed about the eldest young master, seeing that the young master likes the girl so much, so he specially ordered me to come, and said a word, the young master is now not properly taken care of, the old lady wants to pick, but she is not satisfied with the picking, either the appearance is not good, or the young master can't look down, just at this time I saw the girl, the appearance is good, the bearing is also good, the most important thing is that the young master likes it, so I want to take the concubine paperwork, and accept the girl as a serious partial room, how does the girl feel? ”

As soon as these words came out, Qingge Qingyun behind Chonglan changed color, and she sank her face: "Mama, didn't you say that you can't laugh?" ”

Mama Wei said to herself: "The girl knows, how can our Qi Guofu be regarded as a high gate, and the eldest young master is the eldest son, you are with him as a serious house, it is better than with those who don't know cats, dogs, and four, and give birth to a man and a woman in the future, it is no worse than Mrs. Zhengtou." ”

Chonglan was furious, and when she got up suddenly, she was about to order someone to drive her out, but she saw her eyes flickering, barely suppressed the anger in her heart, and sneered: "What Mama passed on is what Mrs. Yan meant?" ”

Mama Wei nodded and said, "Naturally." She took out the concubine document stamped with the red deed from her sleeve and handed it to her: "The girl is a cool person, I don't talk nonsense, if the girl is willing, I will sign this document." ”

She stroked her cuffs, took out a few ingots of plum blossom-shaped gold bills, and said with a smile: "Accepting a concubine is not as good as marrying a wife, the girl signed this paperwork, and then accepted my bride price, even if it is the young master's room, the girl will see when it is appropriate, and pick a good time to enter the house?" ”

Chonglan smashed a tea cup hard to her feet, and the hot tea soup splashed out, and when she saw her upper, Mama Wei was shocked and took a few steps back. She sneered: "What a sharp-toothed Diao slave, although the Jiangning heavy family is now defeated, but the daughter of the heavy family who has not fallen has to be a concubine, no matter how bad my family is, I still have a head and face in Jinling, do you have to run to your Yan family as a slave and a maid to be considered decent?!" ”

Mama Wei is the person next to Mrs. Yan, and she is also quite respected in the mansion, she was scolded as a slave, her face was ugly, and she couldn't even care about the affection on her face: "No matter how you say it, the girl is also a businessman now, and it is a great blessing to be able to enter the Qi Mansion with the eldest young master." ”

Qingyun has the most violent temperament, and he really can't listen to it, so he jumped out and said, "What kind of big family? Phew! Don't make a gesture of Qiao, you go and inquire, which family doesn't know that Qi Guofu has long been defeated, and they went to our heavy family to yell at five and six, forcing our girl to give you a concubine, and really treat Qi Guofu as a Tiangong Yujing that everyone wants to go to, be careful to sue you for a concubine! ”

Mama Wei was so angry that her body trembled, and she suddenly thought about it, the purpose of her coming today was either to let Chonglan voluntarily give Yan He a partial room, or to simply mess up this marriage, and now this goal has been achieved.

She thought about it, got up and smiled vaguely: "Since the girl insists on not allowing it, it is a pity." It's not just the old lady's meaning, our young master also likes girls, and wants to accept the girl as a roommate, it's really... Ay. He sighed again.

Even if Chonglan knew that she was deliberately provoking, she was also angry when she heard this. Qingyun couldn't hold it back, and was about to scold when she jumped out, but she raised her hand to stop and sipped tea quietly.

She wanted to see what else Mama Wei could come up with.

Seeing that Chonglan could still hold her mind, Mama Wei snorted in her heart, and said with a smile: "Actually, our old lady also likes girls, but unfortunately the girls are really..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard a sudden bustle at the door of the heavy mansion, and the porter hurriedly reported: "Girl, it was Lord Yan who invited someone to come to the lottery, and also prepared a gift for the lottery, you go out and take a look." ”

After hearing this, Mama Wei's face turned blue in an instant. Qingyun came back to his senses and said loudly: "Didn't you say that your eldest young master wants to take a concubine?" This bride price gift is for the wife, but you should give a clear word, whether to marry a wife or take a concubine? ”

Chonglan learned from her, looked over with a smile and asked, "But you can see clearly, it's a bride price, not a concubine's bride price, right?" ”

The porter was stunned, and immediately said: "Absolutely not, the little one has asked several times, and invited the best matchmaker in Jinling, how can it be a concubine?" ”

Chonglan laughed and said, "Then I have to ask this grandmother, what the hell is going on?" Her face gradually sank: "Your Qi Mansion is also a public mansion, and you don't know how to do things so decently, send a slave to me to show off your might, really I can't do it?!" ”

Mama Wei's face was extremely ugly, as if she had been slapped in front of her, and she barely squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "This is a confusion between the two..."

Chonglan was too lazy to listen to her nonsense, so she made a clear look, and the latter understood, and took a few steps forward to tear up the concubine document and throw it on her: "Then you go back and find out, Chongjia is not a place where you can come to spread wild!" ”

......

In the east courtyard of Qi Guofu, Mrs. Yan's hands trembled, and a bowl of tea and soup spilled out, she couldn't care about it, and said loudly: "Can you see clearly, and my brother really prepared a dowry gift to send over?!" ”

She wants to take a concubine, and her grandson is now doing it against her like this, obviously trying to slap her in the face and make her face hot and uncomfortable.

Mama Wei's face was panicked, and she nodded and said: "The one from the heavy family directly tore up the concubine documents, and said that our Qi Guofu doesn't know the rules..." ”

Old Mrs. Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good..."

Mama Wei was anxious: "Old lady, this is not a good thing, she deliberately placed the bride price at the door of the heavy mansion, just to let everyone see, the eldest young master is going to hire her as his wife, so that everyone knows what's good?!" ”

Old Madam Yan's fingertips trembled uncontrollably: "That... How's that good? ”

Outside, a clear voice came over the landscape screen: "What is good?" If your grandmother has any problems, you may want to tell me about them. ”

Old Madam Yan's body stiffened, and Yan He had already walked up and bowed: "My grandson came to say hello to my grandmother." ”

Old Madam Yan took a deep breath and couldn't suppress her anger: "You still know that there is a grandmother like me, I thought that your soul was hooked by a heavy surname, and you will never step into my East Courtyard again!" ”

This sounded like Mrs. Zhengtou said to Mrs. Huaxin's husband, Mama Wei was not very comfortable on her face, and raised her hand and pulled the sleeve of Mrs. Yan, who was angry and didn't pay attention to her at all.

Yan He said lightly: "Grandmother, I came today just for the girl's business." He stood up and stood with his hands in his hands: "In a few days, I will have to ask my grandmother to exchange straw stickers." ”

No matter how soft the old lady Yan was, she was choked with anger at this time, and she stood up and said loudly: "You are dreaming!" Even if I die, I won't let the merchant girl enter the door, you die of this heart! ”

Yan He smiled, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, he calmly adjusted the sleeves of the flowing cloud pattern robe embroidered with gold thread: "Grandmother, don't forget, although my father has been released now, several uncles are still locked up in prison, and my father is now empty of the false name of the Duke of Qi, and the salary and land gold seal treasure book, why does grandmother have to make trouble at this time?" Aren't you afraid that the emperor won't want to see Qi Guofu? ”

Old Madam Yan said angrily: "You dare to threaten me with them, aren't you from Qi Guofu?!" ”

Yan He turned around and sat down, and asked instead of answering: "What does grandmother think?" ”

Mrs. Yan was in the hat chair, unable to speak for a while, she knew very well in her heart that the emperor could take the Yan family on this safari, all for the sake of Yan He's face, but Yan He's uncles were punished, but it did not affect his honor at all, and the Yan family can only rely on him if they want to recover now.

But if she asks such a daughter-in-law to go home... Her face turned blue and white, and finally put down her body, and said softly: "Brother He, if you really like her so much, grandmother will help you ask her to be a partial room, you can also face her day and night, but this marriage is not a child's play, but you must not be sloppy." ”

Yan He's thin white fingers clasped together to support the bridge of his nose: "For me, as long as the marriage partner is not her, everyone else has become sloppy, I have never liked to settle for the second, grandmother knew at the time." ”

Old Mrs. Yan was incredible: "You like her so much, what is so good about her that makes you miss her so much?" ”

A shallow smile rose on his lips: "The person I like is naturally good anywhere." ”

Old Madam Yan covered her eyes, as if she didn't want to deal with him, and only after a while did she say in a trembling voice: "You are really the same as your father, and he wanted to marry your mother like this back then..."

Yan He raised his eyebrows in surprise, his mother was a taboo in Qi Guofu, and he had never heard Old Madam Yan take the initiative to mention her.

She put down her hand, took the medicine offered by Mama Wei and drank half a bowl, then half-closed her eyes and said slowly: "Aren't you insisting on marrying a girl from a heavy family, listen to me and then make a decision, after listening to this, you still insist on marrying, I will never stop you." ”

She tucked the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief: "Have you ever seen your grandfather's house for so many years?" She pursed her lips when she saw Yan He, and then said: "That's because your mother is not from a high background, she is just the daughter of a nine-grade petty official family, and the family has long been ruined." ”

She looked up at the ceiling, her expression was a little dazed: "When your father saw your mother at some point, he was in his heart at that time, and he thought about marrying her day and night, and your grandfather and I also disagreed, but I couldn't stand him kneeling on the ground day and night and crying and begging, and finally let her enter the door... Now that I think about it, that was the one thing I regret the most in all my years. ”

She looked at Yan He fixedly, and inexplicably remembered the appearance of her second daughter-in-law entering the door to bring her tea and kowtow, she was really a fairy-like beauty: "Your mother is similar to you, and her appearance is naturally extremely beautiful, and she is very favored by your father." When the two of them were newly married, they were so good that they were so good that he took the initiative to send him a few rooms, and he couldn't wait to hold her in the palm of his hand and it hurt..."

Yan He's face was strange, he thought that according to Yan Sansi's lustful temperament, the concubine should not refuse to come.

Mrs. Yan's expression became more and more trance-like: "Later, your father is old, and you are about to be born, so he wants to seek a future, shade his wife and protect his children, you know the situation of our family, his father-in-law's family is even more unbearable, he hits walls everywhere, everything is unsatisfactory, but your mother has been spoiled by him, every day I only know to pester him to chant the wind and the moon, and if he is not satisfied, he will beat people and scold dogs, he is not satisfactory at home and abroad, and your mother is gradually distant..."

She tucked the corners of her eyes with a silk: "You must have heard about it later, your mother is not willing to be lonely, and she resents your father for snubbing, so she communicates with others. raped, and finally committed suicide by throwing himself into a well, and his background was also criticized. ”

She looked at Yan He through tears, and said softly: "Brother He, grandmother is not the kind of person who worships high and low, but the world is so right, what can we do?" You love her now, when she looks old and you care about the future, will you blame her for not being able to help you, will you dislike her for being old and decrepit, and she has no good mother's help, and you have no bumps in your career when you are tired? ”

She thought of her second daughter-in-law who died tragically, and Yan Sansi, who had been depressed for half her life, sobbed her nose: "Have you ever thought about whether she can adapt to the life of Zhong Mingding's food family?" Qi Da is not a coincidence, it may not be a good thing for a heavy girl to marry in, if you really like her, you shouldn't have any more entanglement with her. ”

Yan He has been listening quietly, and his expression is not happy or angry: "Grandmother is afraid that she is mistaken, my father is my father, and I am me." ”

He smiled, with some contempt in his eyes: "My father is unwilling for half his life, but my grandmother will find a reason for him, could it be that those old and important ministers in the court rely on the Yue family and his wife to rise to prominence?" When I enjoyed my wife's most beautiful and fresh beauty, I remembered my future at this time, and turned my head to blame my wife for being incompetent and the Yue family for being incompetent, just an excuse for my incompetence. ”

He ridiculed: "As a man, he should shelter his wife and children from the wind and rain, and protect them with peace and joy for a lifetime. ”

Old Madam Yan was stunned, and then said angrily: "You dare to say that about your father!" ”

Yan He said indifferently: "But I just heard my grandmother mention the past and sigh a few words at will, what did my grandmother do with such a big fire?" ”

He got up and said, "My grandson's mind has been decided, and I hope that my grandmother will help me go to Chongfu to ask for his name." ”

Old Madam Yan was furious, and was about to sternly refuse, when she heard Yan He gently float a sentence: "The emperor originally gave me a mansion, but I thought that it was not good to live outside, so I told the emperor that I would live in Qi Mansion for a year before moving over, if my grandmother insisted on not allowing it, then I had to move in with my new wife immediately." ”

This has two meanings, one is that whether she agrees or not, Chonglan will marry him, and the other is that if Old Madam Yan insists on not agreeing, he can move out on this reason and cut off contact with Qi Guofu.

Old Madam Yan couldn't vent her anger in her chest, Mama Wei behind her gently pulled her sleeve, she clenched her fists, and was drained of her strength in the hat chair, and nodded dejectedly.

......

In the Chongfu over there, Chong Lan knew that this was a bad move that Old Madam Yan came up with, and he couldn't hold back his anger enough, Qingyun comforted on the side: "You dissipate your anger, as long as Master Yan is good, you are not married to Old Madam Yan, what about the others?" ”

Chonglan pressed the corner of her forehead: "I'm thinking about what I will do if I have such an enemy-like mother-in-law and grandmother in the future?" ”

Qingyun was a little unimpressed: "So what? Mother-in-law and grandmother are much easier to deal with than mother-in-law, and they can't get in your way. ”

She pulled Chonglan and walked out: "Lord Yan has sent a lot of gifts this time, what kind of red gold table, the pearl of the South China Sea, and the coral that is more than a foot high, not to mention what kind of gold, jade, tea cakes, fruit satin, etc., I can't name many of them." ”

Chonglan didn't care much about this, but she was still happy to see Yan He's solemn intentions, she hadn't let Na Caili enter the door yet, and now it's almost time, and if she didn't let her in, it would hurt Yan He's face, so she let the matchmaker in.

Unexpectedly, Na Caili had just been brought in, and there was a commotion outside the main gate, she raised her head in a daze, and said in surprise: "What's the matter?" ”

Qingge hurriedly ran out to look, but ran in after a stick of incense, tears filled his eyes, which startled Chonglan.

She has always been steady, but at this time, her eyes were full of tears excitedly, and she said loudly: "Girl, it is the eldest young master who is back, the eldest young master has won the seventh place in the second class, and the capital is going to be given to him by Shu Jishi, and now he has returned to his hometown." ”

With a bang, the green jade pen holder in Chonglan's hand fell to pieces, and he hurriedly asked, "What you said is true?" Big brother, he really didn't have an accident, and he was hit by the Jinshi? ”

Qingge nodded vigorously: "As soon as the eldest young master arrived at the gate of the city, he was dragged to a banquet by a few classmates, this is someone sent by the county government to report the good news to you, and there is a person sent by the eldest young master to report the news at the door." ”

Chonglan's eyes were sour with excitement, and she stomped her feet vigorously and said, "What the hell did he do?" It's been almost two years, and I haven't even reported a letter to my family, and I don't dare to come back to see when I get home, are we still his relatives?! ”

"If it weren't for my relatives, I wouldn't have to run and kill a few good horses, and hurry back."

Chongyan walked out of the shadow wall, his face was tired, his expression was resolute and indifferent, and only when he fell on Chonglan did he have some smiles in his eyes; "Nan, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have grown taller again, and you are more beautiful than before."

Chonglan was about to rush up, one step faster than her was Qingge, she stood in front of Chongyan and froze, her face was full of excitement and couldn't hide it, her body was trembling slightly, she barely saluted: "The eldest young master is finally back, these are good, the family finally has the backbone." ”

Chongyan is a typical heavy family appearance, jade white skin, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, but he is used to keeping a straight face, not showing mountain dew, and the upright atmosphere forcibly suppresses the charm of the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, leaving only a handsome complexion, showing the upright and upright spirit of the landscape.

He smiled faintly at Qingge: "You bothered. ”

Chonglan was stunned, then reacted, rushed up and gave him a few punches, gritting his teeth and being happy and angry: "What have you done all these years, don't you know if your family is worried?" Even if it's inconvenient to go out and spread a message, it's always okay to ask someone to bring a message! My second brother and I both thought... I thought you—" She choked up.

Chongyan patted her shoulder soothingly: "Don't be afraid, aren't I coming back?" ”

After he finished speaking, he shook his head: "The year before last, I encountered a snow disaster just after leaving Jinling, and it was easy to pick up a life, and I encountered a rebellion of displaced people, and I went to Beijing all the way, and I was thinking about sending a message to my family, but I didn't expect to hear the news of the rebellion of the king of Linchuan again, so it was delayed again and again." ”

Chonglan was also a little speechless, there have been too many things in Jinling in the past two years.

He finished recounting his experience in a few words, and his expression was solemn: "I heard a few news about our family along the way, and the second child was locked up in the palace, don't hide it, tell me the truth." ”

Chonglan sighed, told the events of these days from beginning to end, and added hatefully at the end: "It's all Jiang Yi's brute!" ”

Chongyan glanced at him: "Don't help your second brother exonerate, Jiang Yi might as well be a beast, but your second brother can't escape the blame, such an obvious trick, only he can't see it, and he almost lost his own sister-in-law." ”

Chonglan was about to speak, but Chongyan had already gotten up: "Don't worry about this, I'll go to Pingle Wangfu to pick him up first." ”

Chongyan has always been resolute in doing things, and he turned around and went out before he even drank tea at home, but this time he came back quickly, and he came back with Chongzheng in less than half an hour.

Chonglan was wondering why they hadn't come to the main hall yet, so he saw Qingge running over in a hurry: "Girl, take a look, as soon as the eldest young master came back, he took the second young master to the tablet of the old lady and said that he was going to break one of the legs of the second young master!" ”

She knew Chongyan very well, it was definitely the same temperament, he said that he wanted to break Chongzheng's leg, and he would never break only one of his arms, she hurriedly rushed to the mourning hall with her skirt, only to find that it was too late.

Chongzheng was paralyzed on the ground, holding one leg and crying, Chongyan was still carrying a stick thick with his arm to carry out family law, and said in a deep voice: "... What kind of person Jiang Yi is, you dare to make friends with him, and almost hurt Nan Nan for a lifetime, do you know all this?! ”

In the end, it was her brother and sister, no matter how annoyed she was, she couldn't see Chongzheng like this, one leg had been beaten out of shape, and the bones were out of place. She couldn't bear to say, "Big brother, your hands are too heavy... This is your own brother. ”

Chongyan's face was grim: "One is one and two is two, there are meritorious rewards and punishments, even my own brother can't be so used to it." He pointed with a stick: "You give me an honest grounding in the room for three months, and if I dare to go out once during this period, I don't want the other leg." ”

Chongzheng's body couldn't help but tremble, and Chonglan hurriedly ordered someone to carry him down and ask the best fracture doctor to show him his leg.

Chongyan didn't stop her, and quietly watched her finish her work, and then said lightly: "There is another matter, your relationship with Qi Guofu." ”
