111 Chapter 111
Yan He rarely didn't realize the deep meaning of her words, and glanced down at her lower abdomen: "You are still pregnant, don't go out and walk around if you have nothing to do, be careful not to pay attention to the collision." ”
It's not good to marry into a high gate, Chonglan has been bored in the mansion for several months, and it is rare to find a legitimate reason to go out for a walk, and said depressedly: "I'm almost four months old, and the tire has long been stable, and I also take a sedan chair and a sliding pole to go out, what can I hinder?" ”
Yan He sighed, looked her up and down a few times, and couldn't help but regret in his heart, it is not good to be pregnant now. He thought for a while: "I just told the people below to go out and do it, you can stay in the courtyard in peace." ”
Chonglan looked at him with a creepy look, leaned back in the chair and shrank back, and said something that he was empty-hearted: "No, it's a big deal in my brother's life, don't talk about whether the thing is good or not, at least it's a matter of mind to buy it yourself." ”
Yan He glanced at her and sneered, "At this time, you will pay attention to your heart?" He sat down slowly: "If the second brother knew that you were pregnant, he wouldn't be surprised." ”
Chonglan thought about it for two times in a row and was refuted, and said angrily: "You just don't want to go out with me, what are you doing with so many reasons!" ”
Obviously, she insisted on going out with her, but in a blink of an eye, he refused to go out with her, Yan He pressed his eyebrows, coughed, and said: "Just say what you want to do, don't use the second brother as a disguise." ”
Chonglan hugged his arm and coquettishly said: "I've been stuffy in the house for several months, and when you first got married, you promised to take me out for a walk, gentleman, how can you not keep your promise?" ”
After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes, pretended to be, sighed sadly, and spoke in a tone of voice: "Speaking of which, before I get married, I can still walk around the world, but after marrying you, I can only be stuck in this high wall." ”
Yan He didn't have any likes or dislikes for women before he met her, but thanks to his blessing of the yard full of warblers and swallows, he didn't like women who were in a good mood, but when he saw her pretending, not only did he not feel unhappy, but he felt very cute, and the joy of the boudoir probably lies in this.
If others heard his heart, they might have to shake their heads and sigh, and the governor would be hopeless.
He frowned and smiled: "You really have no conscience, when I took you out, was it still less?" I just took you to live in another hospital for more than half a month, and you forgot about it? ”
Chonglan couldn't help blushing when she thought of the days when she was in the other courtyard and with him, and said to him: "You are happy, there is no lack of benefits, I..."
She was embarrassed to say the second half of the sentence, just squinted at him, and had the posture that if you don't agree, I won't let you eat.
He pretended to think about it seriously: "What about the benefits of this time?" ”
Chonglan smiled cruelly: "If you don't take me out, don't want to go into the house to sleep these days, go to the study and sleep with your official documents!" Isn't that a good thing? ”
She looked like a bully who was not very skillful, and he sighed: "Tomorrow the temple fair in the east of the city, the city has a curfew, and all the shops are open, let's go out tomorrow night." ”
She finally let him breathe a sigh of relief, she was in a very happy mood, waved her hand and ordered someone to set the meal, thinking of today's incident at the dinner table, she inevitably said a few more words to him: "I see that Brother Ning is really pitiful, his biological mother is gone, and he was fiddled with by the people sent by his mother-in-law, his little child..."
Yan He has never been concerned about other people's affairs, and said indifferently: "What? Don't you have to get through it yourself? ”
Only then did Chonglan realize that Yan Ning's current situation was subtly similar to that of when he was a child, the same without a biological mother, without dependence, and the people around him had their own thoughts, and they were all Yan Sansi's sons.
Her mood suddenly became heavy, and she didn't know what to say, so she opened her mouth and said sullenly: "If only I had met you when I was a child." ”
He looked at her curiously: "If I'm not mistaken... When I can read and learn, you won't be able to walk. ”
The warm and touching atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and Chonglan looked at him with disdain: "What's wrong with this, look at Brother Ning and Lan Lan, this is called a childhood sweetheart, and the two have no guesses!" ”
Women value the romantic process, men value the final result, Yan He is very disapproving, he and Chonglan are neither childhood sweethearts nor two little guesses, don't they also deceive people?
The two talked and laughed for a while, and after eating, they took out the chessboard and played against each other for a few hours before resting.
Chonglan hadn't gone out for a long time, and she was very excited, so she prepared the clothes she was going to wear early on the second day, and by the way, she also prepared what Yan He was going to wear, and when he came back, she pulled him into the house to change.
The woman has an inscrutable talent in dressing up, she helped him choose a plain blue straight embellished, covered with a gauze shirt, wearing a square scarf, with a lazy and graceful expression, both the elegance of a scholar and the elegance of a noble son.
When she saw her results, she was in a very good mood, so she teased: "I don't know which scholar's son?" I don't know how to run to the girl's boudoir, be careful that I ask someone to beat you out. ”
He leisurely teased the silk on his waist that she had beaten with his own hands, turned to her and raised his lips and smiled: "I am not a scholar, but a feared flower thief in Jinling. ”
Chonglan glanced at him charmingly: "Now that you have seen it, do you think you can still see it?" ”
He leaned down, kissed her lightly on the corner of her lips, and murmured, "It's better to be famous than to meet, the girl is difficult to hold onto." ”
There was a faint and ambiguous sound in the room, and it took a while to stop, Chonglan looked out the window with a red face, and almost jumped up in a hurry: "Oh, let's go quickly, otherwise it will be too late." ”
She turned her head and complained to him again: "It's all you, what kind of trouble did you make before you go out, if you go back late and can't catch up with the temple fair, I won't spare you!" ”
Yan He: "......, who spoke first just now?"
Anyway, the two of them got into the carriage, walked through the alleys, and finally arrived in the east of the city, although there were many people in the east of the city, but they did not reach the point of rubbing shoulders one after another, just gathered together piecemeal, talking and laughing in groups.
Even so, he still guarded her tightly. As soon as she got out of the car, she was excited to turn into a rouge shop, he reached out and grabbed her, raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you going to show the second brother a congratulatory gift?" ”
Chonglan said with a weak heart: "I bought it for my cousin-in-law...", I don't believe it, where does Zheng Zhao look like a person who smears and paints powder?
She thought carefully about being exposed, and pulled him away with her backhand: "Hey, let's go and buy a congratulatory gift first." ”
While talking, the two turned into a shop that bought ornaments in the house, Chonglan looked left and right, first bought a pair of magpie bottles, and then bought a screen with auspicious patterns, turned around and walked to the front to bargain with the boss.
When she talked about business, she could run a camel, and no one wanted to take an extra penny of silver from her, and the shopkeeper thought that she was a foolish lady, and the price quoted was much higher than the market price, but she did not expect her to be so shrewd and powerful, and after a while, she ordered someone to prepare things for her and send her home.
Chonglan was triumphant as if he had won a big battle: "When I don't understand the market, what about the woman who has lived in the boudoir for a long time, she quoted a price twice as high as the market price, which is simply black-hearted." ”
Yan He was not very interested in business, so he glanced at her: "A dozen taels of silver, as for spending so much tongue?" ”
Chonglan disliked him for having no vision, and counted him while pulling him out: "If you say it like this, no one can believe that you are my husband, what is the matter of more than a dozen taels of silver, do you know how much the monthly money of our lady and young lady in the house is?" ”
Thinking that Yan He might have been pitted by someone for a lot of 'more than a dozen taels of silver', her heart was dripping blood: "Gather less into more, if you don't put these dozen taels in your eyes now, you will regret it after squandering all the money!" ”
Yan He: "......"
Chonglan pulled him to promise that he would save some money when buying things in the future, and said earnestly: "I have made a lot of silver on those merchants over the years, you be careful that they will all be counted on your head." ”
"......" Yan He paused: "I don't think they have the courage yet." ”
Chonglan pulled him around for a while, the store didn't stop shopping, but she didn't buy a few things, she didn't leave as she strolled around, leaning on him and looking at the stalls supported by the river: "We haven't eaten at night, let's eat dinner there." ”
Yan He glanced at those stalls, his disgust was overflowing, but he couldn't be entangled by Chonglan, so he took her to the side of the stall, carefully wiped the table and chairs several times before letting her sit down, and Chonglan covered his mouth and smiled.
He asked her what she wanted to eat, and then turned his head to ask someone to bring the menu, Chonglan hurriedly pulled him: "Where is there any vegetable card in the small place, aren't the things all there, you look at it, bring me a basket of xiaolongbao first." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she brought the steamed buns over to the steamer, the xiaolongbao that had just come out of the pot was still steaming, and the soup and meat filling could be faintly seen in the translucent and strong thin skin, and the taste could not be more delicious with vinegar.
She carefully sandwiched the soup dumplings into a small dish, used pointed chopsticks to pick a hole, let the delicious soup flow out, and then carefully poured vinegar into it, pushed it to him, and said, "Try this." Remember to eat slowly and be careful of scalding. ”
He frowned and took a bite, his brows couldn't help but relax, he thought about it, and ordered the most ordinary Yangchun noodles, Chonglan asked for a plate of sauce and fragrant meat, a plate of honey lotus root, two bowls of sweet soup, and slowly finished eating before getting up.
The stall owner greeted the two of them to come again next time while cleaning up the table, Chonglan responded with a smile, praised a few more words, and then walked away with Yan He's hand, and then there was another street, there was a century-old jewelry store at the corner of the street, and many ladies and girls in the city loved to order jewelry here.
Chonglan pulled him over for a walk, but just out of the door, he saw Mrs. Wei walking out of the pavilion with Wei Siniang, and the two were about to get into the sedan chair, but they didn't expect a quarrel at the corner of the street, and even moved the guy.
Mrs. Wei casually probed and looked, but she didn't expect a spoon of soup to fly straight towards her, and the maid next to her couldn't help her, so she exclaimed in surprise.
Wei Siniang, who was standing beside her, glanced at it casually, stretched out her hand lightly, and the two easily pinched the flying spoons and threw her back with one hand.
Chong Lan was dumbfounded: "This... This Wei girl is so powerful. ”
Yan He glanced at it casually: "Barely in the eye." ”
He has always been polite to people, this is already a rare good evaluation, Chonglan became even more interested, and saw that the person who had just thrown the spoon with the wrong hand rushed over to kowtow and apologize with a panicked face, and slapped himself while apologizing.
Mrs. Wei is not an unreasonable person, and she is not injured, although she is angry, she also knows that he is unintentional, so she reprimanded her daughter casually and took her daughter to the sedan chair.
Wei Siniang had nothing to do, and she also bowed her head and got into the sedan chair with her.
Chonglan still praised it: "A strange woman like Miss Wei, I really don't know which man will be blessed in the future, it's really..."
She suddenly paused in the middle of her words, and saw Chongyan on the other side of the street, looking thoughtfully at the direction in which Wei Siniang left.
She raised her hand and greeted her, Chongyan also saw her, walked over unhurriedly, opened her mouth and said two sentences: "You are pregnant, what are you doing when you run out if you have nothing to do, in case there is something, don't you want to regret it for the rest of your life?" ”
Chonglan despised him for changing the topic, squinted his eyes and teased: "Big brother, what are you looking at just now?" ”
Chongyan said indifferently: "Mrs. Wei has the grace of knowing me, I saw his wife, and I was thinking about whether to come forward to pay a visit." ”
His answer was so seamless that Chonglan had nothing to say, and asked instead, "What did you come out for today?" ”
He replied: "There are still some things that have not been prepared for your second brother's marriage, and I will personally arrange them." ”
As he spoke, he urged Chonglan to hurry back, and Chonglan was nagged by him until his scalp was numb, so he had to turn around with Yan He.
After she returned home, she had a quiet day, but she ordered someone to secretly pay attention to Yan Ning's movements.
The few people who served in Yan Ning's house were not worry-free, and the noisy chickens and dogs jumping all day made him unable to study with peace of mind, either the two maids flattered and flattered him all day long, or the mother-in-law secretly deducted his share, and he was still eloquent when asked.
After listening to it, she frowned secretly, she had heard the story of hurting Zhongyong, no matter how good the child was delayed for such a long time, I was afraid that there would be no big difference in the future.
She lowered her head and thought about it, but still held back her thoughts, the turmoil of the past few days has not passed, and it is too early to start now, so it is better to make plans in a few days.
Chongzheng's marriage arrived a few days later, and early that morning, Yan He said hello to Mrs. Yan, and took Chonglan over to help.
She said that she wanted to help, and the others didn't dare to let her do it, so she just laughed with her aunt and got up to welcome guests from time to time.
Chongzheng's friends are all fox friends and dog friends, Chongyan naturally didn't let these people enter the door, most of the guests who came to Chong's family were businessmen, but there were also many guests with status who came to congratulate Chonglan and Chongyan, and came over to talk to Yan He intentionally or unintentionally.
She looked helpless, afraid that Chongyan would feel uncomfortable, so she hurriedly pulled him to talk, and after he frowned and said a few words, she could only retreat in disgust.
The steward who greeted the guests outside sang again, and Chonglan and Aunt Chong got up to greet them, and saw Uncle Chong walking in from the main gate with a family.
She frowned, but the person who came was a guest, and it was a happy day, so it was not good for so many guests to say that the heavy family was rushing to the guest, so she took her aunt to greet her: "Uncle is here, why didn't you let people know in advance?" ”
Chongrui Feng laughed loudly: "Today is a happy day for my second nephew, why don't you send someone to spread the word in advance, so I will find out about it from others." ”
This person's face is really thick-skinned, and he is so big and arrogant, as if nothing had happened before.
Chonglan said lightly: "I wanted to send someone to spread the word, but I knew that the uncle had a lot of things at home recently, and I was afraid that it would delay your errands, so I didn't dare to send someone over." ”
Chong Ruifeng thought of the business that was torn apart by Chong Rou's family, and the smile on his face couldn't help but decrease a little.
Today, the Bai family and Chongli Chongjing also came over, Aunt Chong was too lazy to take care of Chong Ruifeng, so she pulled Bai Shi to the table, Chonglan didn't want to pay attention to him, so she turned her head to talk to Chongli, and coldly caught a glimpse of Chongrou standing on the side, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Chongrou is dressed extremely dazzling today, I don't know that I think she is a bride, wearing a red gold quilt, covered with a bright red gauze coat, with a red gold hairpin on her head, and three round pearls hanging down, as if she has put on the clothes and jewelry at the bottom of the box.
She also had fat powder on her face, her eyebrows were painted with slender willow eyebrows, and the corners of her eyes were dotted with fine peach blossoms - but even if it was thick and colorful, it couldn't hide the tiredness and anxiety in her eyes.
She seemed to want to come up and talk to Chonglan, but Chongli turned her face away in disgust and pulled Chonglan away.
Chong Lanqi said: "Hasn't the Chen Mansion allowed her to go back, why does her face look worse than the last time?" ”
Chongli lowered her head to eat tea, shook her head when she heard the words, pouted and said: "Third cousin, you have been at home for a long time, and you don't know many things, Chen Yuan'er disappeared in the Feng family temple last month, and the Chen Mansion did not dare to go up to ask for an explanation, Dad thought that this matter was over, so he licked his face and sent her over, and the people of the Chen Mansion accepted her without saying anything..."
Chonglan was stunned for a moment, and continued to ask, "And then?" ”
Chongli tucked the corners of her mouth, and sighed: "Chen Fu is not good, I sprinkled all my anger on her, and I sent it back a few days later, when she was sent back, she was thin and out of shape, and she couldn't even stand on her feet, and she was sent back with a letter of resignation... Ay! ”
She paused, and then said, "Although Dad was annoyed, he didn't dare to say anything, but he didn't have a good face when he saw her." ”
Chonglan glanced at Chongrou and hesitated, "In that case... She's dressed up too much today. ”
Chongli was already a little sympathetic to Chongrou, but when she heard this, she became angry again, and pointed her chin to that side: "Cousin, look, what is she doing?" ”
Chonglan fixed his eyes and looked over there, Chongrou was born bright, and today's grand dress was even more charming, attracting several sons and brothers who came to congratulate him frequently.
She didn't shy away from it, her big eyes looked straight at her with affection and timidity, and lowered her head gently, which really meant a little bit of affection.
