17. Chapter 17
Old Madam Yan's face was full of sadness, and she put down her body and begged: "Brother He, you are also a member of our family after all, and you are your father's own son, can you bear to watch him have an accident?" ”
Yan He tilted his head, as if he didn't know what to think, it didn't seem like he was pleading for Mrs. Yan's words, he raised his lips and smiled: "What grandmother said also has some truth, then let's take a look." ”
Chonglan followed behind him step by step, and Yan He suddenly turned around: "You go back first, don't get involved in this matter." ”
I can't watch the big excitement, Chonglan glanced at him resentfully, but was still carried away by Mama Feng, who followed closely.
Yan He followed Mrs. Yan to the main hall, and before he entered, he heard Ning's voice coming out of the back room: "Second Uncle must speak according to his conscience, I don't bring people in, is it up to them to make trouble at the door of the mansion?" ”
Yan Sansi said angrily: "I said that I don't know this woman, who knows if she is deliberately blackmailing?" ”
A woman's soft cry was immediately heard inside: "You treacherous person, you kept saying that you wanted to give me a name, but now you don't admit it when you lift your pants!" What is the point of my life! ”
Then the man's scolding voice came: "Although our Yongchang Bofu is not a wealthy family, we are not so poor that we want to go to your Guogong Mansion to slander people, it is clear that you are a shameless person who has ruined the reputation of our Yongchang Bofu!" ”
For a while, there was chaos in the main hall, and the old lady Yan was furious when she heard this, and walked in tremblingly with a cane: "What are you doing?!" ”
Yan Sansi was stunned for a moment, and then greeted him: "Mother." He coldly saw Yan He, who was standing tall behind Old Lady Yan, and his face sank: "You're back." ”
It is said that even if the average father sees his son who has been out for many years returning, even if he is not ecstatic, he will not react like this, but Yan Sansi's eyes are full of disgust, and he doesn't even bother to hide it.
Yan He didn't answer, and Ning raised his voice: "Second uncle, the matter has come to this point, everyone has come to the door, you have to give a word." ”
When Mrs. Yan saw that she was still in the well, she was angry for a while, and drove her out after scolding a few words, she didn't dare to disobey openly, so she could only go out with a reluctant face.
Yan Sansi's face sank, but he ignored her, stared at Yan He with a pair of eyes, and scolded him: "When you come back, you don't say that you worship your grandfather first, and you don't salute when you see me, so many years of etiquette, righteousness and shame have been learned in vain!" ”
He obviously wanted to divert everyone's attention by reprimanding, and the people of Yongchang Bofu snorted coldly: "Yan Sansi, don't worry about him left and right, if you don't give an explanation today, we will not be reconciled!" After he finished speaking, he carefully glanced at Yan He's expression, and saw that he didn't react much, so he put his mind at ease.
Yan He straightened out the group tassel under his chin, bent over and sat in the hat chair: "Orderly, young and old, I visited my grandmother first, and I was about to meet my father, but I didn't expect to be called over." ”
Yan Sansi's face sank, and now he couldn't change the topic, so he could only turn to the crying woman, and waved his hand impatiently: "I don't know you, and I don't have anything to say, where did you come from!" ”
The people from the Yongchang Bo Mansion sneered, stepped forward and grabbed Yan Sanle's sleeve: "Don't think that you can get past it if you deny it, if you are not afraid of being embarrassed, let's bring all the human and physical evidence to the court to see who is unlucky!" ”
Yan Sansi's face stiffened, he knew best in his heart whether he had done this thing or not, and it would not be good for him to make a big fuss.
Over there, Mrs. Yan couldn't hold it back, and spoke up first: "Don't do it, now our Yan family is in the filial piety period, and if this happens, the reputation of the family will be over!" ”
These words are tantamount to exposing the shortcomings of the family, and the people in the Yongchang Bo Mansion are even more proud, and say arrogantly: "Old lady, it's not that we deliberately make things difficult for your Yan family, but if something like this happens, there is no light in our house!" After he finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, with a bit of viciousness on his face: "But we are not people who mess around, and this matter is not unnegotiable, as long as the conditions are right, it is easy to say." ”
Old Madam Yan hurriedly said: "What do you want, just say it!" ”
Yongchang Bofu's humanity: "I remember that the Yan family has a thousand acres of meritorious fields outside the city, and there is a lot of income, and we don't want much, so let's send the thousand acres of land over." ”
There are few people in Qi Guofu who can make money and plan now, and they all rely on the shops and fields saved by their ancestors to maintain decency, and Mrs. Yan said categorically: "No! That's ancestral property, how can it be given to people? ”
The people of Yongchang Bofu said with a smile: "Since the old lady insists on not allowing it, then let's see you in court." ”
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Mrs. Yan hurriedly stopped: "You wait first." ”
After she finished speaking, she saw Yan He who was leisurely drinking tea on the side, and said busily: "Brother He, you should say a few words." ”
Yan He buckled the handle of the pot to pour water for himself, and suddenly sighed: "What did grandmother ask me to say?" ”
Old Madam Yan was slightly speechless, Uncle Yongchang's family was afraid that he would speak, and he also knew something about the relationship between Yan and Qi Guofu, he said: "General Yan is a junior, how can he meddle in the affairs of his elders?" ”
Yan He's hands folded elegantly and hung in the air: "Actually, there is a way, since the two families are running for fame, it is better to accept this woman as a concubine after the filial piety period, so that you can not only complete your reputation, but also keep this matter from passing." ”
Yan Sansi was just playing, so he didn't think about letting this woman enter the door, and her husband died, so he panicked when he thought about it, and hurriedly said loudly when he heard this: "No!" She is just a widow of the partial branch of Yongchang Bofu, how can she enter Yan Mansion? ”
Tianqing's tea cup shook between his thin white fingers, he looked at Yan Sansi with interest with a look of being stepped on by the tail, and said slowly: "Father's concubines are a lot, where do you care about this one, if your father insists on refusing" He smiled and said: "That's okay, just let grandmother prepare the deed." ”
Old Lady Yan glanced at the woman who was crying and collapsed on the ground again, gritted her teeth and said, "That's all it takes!" She said to Yan Sansi: "You faceless thing, do such a shameless thing yourself, and end it yourself!" ”
Yan Sansi was first ridiculed by his son, and then reprimanded by his mother, his old face was hot, and he glanced at Yan He with shame and anger.
Yongchangbo's family didn't get any benefits, and his heart was very angry: "If you want to accept it, it depends on whether we release people or not!" ”
Yan He's gaze finally fell on him, his eyes were extremely beautiful, but when he looked at people quietly, there was a kind of oppression that made people unable to raise their heads.
Uncle Yongchang's family was so seen that his knees trembled, and he said: "If Uncle Yongchang is unwilling, let him tell me himself, as for you" After he finished speaking, he got up with his hands in his hands: "Tie it up and hang it at the door of the mansion to think twice, and let people know that the Qi Mansion is not so troublesome." ”
Yongchangbo's family was so frightened that his hands and feet trembled, and he was about to ask for an invitation, but he was pressed down by the attendants who rushed in outside.
After he Shi Shiran disposed of it, it was equivalent to a slap in the face of the Yan family and the Yongchang Bofu, although the matter was resolved, but the two families had no face left. He didn't care about the faces on both sides, and calmly returned to his yard
The courtyard is looking around, this yard looks renovated, and the furnishings inside are all just put up, although it is newly repaired, but it can also be seen that there is some damage, and the location is extremely remote, Yan He is the eldest son and grandson, even if he doesn't live in the main courtyard, he shouldn't live in this kind of place, right?
The people arranged by the house didn't know her, and they were about to come out to ask, but Mama Feng, who came with her, first explained her identity, and when the people heard that she was a foster care, they inevitably despised her, so they only arranged a cottage in the corner of the yard for her to live in.
Chonglan sent people under the fence to not speak, at this time it depends on Mama Feng's ability, she raised her eyes and glanced at Mama Feng, Mama Feng took her to stand at the gate of the courtyard and did not move, and said with a cold face: "The old lady has already ordered to come over, Miss He's should follow the example of our young lady in the house, you only arrange a subordinate room, is it not intentionally against the old lady?" ”
Chonglan thought that Mama Feng was similar to Cuiwei, and her identity was inevitably uneven from high to low, but she didn't expect her to be so dedicated, so she inevitably looked at her more.
The people in this courtyard are all from the Ning family, and more than a dozen people looked at each other for a while, and some people still had the courage to reply: "It's not that we have the intention to wait slowly, it's just that every house in this courtyard has a purpose, and we can't vacate it for a while." ”
Mama Feng didn't talk much nonsense with this group of people, turned around and left: "Okay, it's so that I'm ignorant, so I'll ask the old lady to see if I can vacate a serious room for the young lady to live in." ”
Although she is now the housekeeper of the Ning family, but the old lady Yan is the ancestor in the end, and it is still these subordinates who suffer when she makes trouble, so she hurriedly grabbed Mama Feng and said with a smile: "It is a few of us who are confused, and the lard is blinded for a while, so this will make room for Miss He." ”
Chonglan was able to move into the new house, she sat on the boat for more than a month, got off the boat and continued to ride the carriage, her spirit was already tired, and she was about to fall on the bed when she returned to the house, or Mama Feng pulled her to wash first, and carefully laid out the bedding, and commanded the two little ones to change her into bedclothes, and then let her go to a nap.
She slept until it was dark, and when she saw that there was no one in the house, she changed her clothes, put on her shoes and went down to the ground, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw more than a dozen people kneeling in the courtyard, who were the people who made it difficult for her at noon.
Mama Feng walked over at this time and said with a smile: "Why did the young lady get up so early, and she didn't call the old slave." ”
Chonglan pointed to the people below and hesitated: "This is"
Mama Feng spat down disdainfully, then turned her head to comfort Chonglan and said, "Miss, don't be afraid, this is the young master supporting Miss again." She led Chonglan to the main hall of the courtyard with one hand: "The young master is waiting for the young lady to eat, let's go quickly." ”
Chonglan entered the main hall, and sure enough, she saw Yan He waiting for her in the main hall, and the round table of mahogany hibiscus filled stone in front of her was full of dishes. ”
Yan He didn't answer, raised his hand to beckon her, and tapped the table with his fingertips: "Eat quickly, let's go out after eating." ”
