79 Chapter 79

The solemn Chonglan didn't know it, and the other one looked kind, she saw it, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy: "Mama Xu." ”

Mama Xu's eyes were also wet: "I haven't seen Sister Lan for many years, my sister is so old and married, so good, my sister is a blessed one." ”

Chongyan invited the two grandmothers to sit down, and said indifferently: "I thought that you had just become married, and there was no caring elder around to take care of you, so I invited Mama Xu and Mama Chen to take care of you." ”

He paused, and saw that Yan He's face was not different, so he continued: "Mama Xu turned out to be serving her mother, and she was the most careful and thoughtful, so she was responsible for your daily life. ”

He rarely showed a sigh, glanced at Yan He with a little dissatisfaction, and then continued: "Your etiquette has always been thorough, and I don't have to worry about it too much, but the etiquette of the public mansion is different from what we usually use, if you behave a little wrong, is it hard to guarantee that no one will say anything?" ”

The number of etiquette is indeed a problem, which can be seen from the last time she officially went to the palace to thank the emperor. She didn't expect that everything had been thought about for her, her eyes were sour, and she turned her head to look at Yan He excitedly.

After listening to his introduction, Mama Chen bowed with a calm posture and a calm demeanor: "The old man has seen Madame." ”

Chonglan hurriedly returned the salute: "There will be Mama Lao in the future." ”

Seeing the two of them talking, Chongyan took a few steps forward and said in a voice that was neither high nor low: "I still hate you very much." ”

Yan He had known this for a long time, but he didn't expect Chongyan to say it directly, and raised his eyebrows: "I asked myself if there was anything that offended Brother Boyan." ”

"You're married." Chongyan's always indifferent eyebrows revealed a deep displeasure: "I didn't like you at first sight, you were too thoughtful, your family is high, and you are a comfortable person, so it is not suitable to go to your Qi State Mansion for that kind of thing." ”

He paused, and then continued: "I originally wanted to find her a small family, so that as soon as she enters, she can be the master of the house, and we can talk about what happens." ”

Yan He said in a rambling voice: "Is it necessarily good for a small family?" ”

Chongyan paused again, and said lightly: "It's not good, but at least you can hold it." ”

He glanced at Yan He, and a strange smile appeared on his always cold face: "There's another reason why I can't get used to you." Since I was a child, I have liked and respected her the most, and I am the one who protects her the most and is considerate of her, but now this person has been replaced by you. It was as if my most important treasure had been snatched away. ”

Although the person in front of him was Chonglan's own brother, he still felt unhappy when he heard someone describe his mother as the most important treasure.

He narrowed his eyes: "People will always grow up." ”

"What you said is true. He suddenly smiled: "I have seen your thoughtfulness to Nan Nan these days, and you are worthy of her heart for you, so I have no regrets that I agreed to her decision to marry you." ”

He usually has a cold face, although his appearance is similar to Chonglan, but it is difficult to think of the two together, and when he smiles like this, it is like the ice and snow are melting, and he looks like her.

He stretched out his hand and patted Yan He's shoulder: "Sister-in-law, treat my sister-in-law well in the future, not to mention glory and wealth, I just want you to be safe and happy in your life." ”

Yan He's face softened slightly: "Brother Cheng Boyan has said auspiciously." ”

He said yes, and at this time, Chonglan also finished talking to the two grandmothers, she got up and walked over, with a look of embarrassment on her face: "Big brother, Qingge's matter..."

She knew Qingge's intentions, and she would be happy if she could contribute to this good thing, but if she didn't want to, she couldn't force him to respond, so she had to leave Qingge's idea first, and let the two of them get along for a few days to see if they could get along.

Chongyan said lightly: "I know." ”

Chonglan was stunned, and she didn't say anything yet: "What do you know?" ”

Chong Yan looked at her steadily, Chong Lan was seen by him as weak, and simply asked bluntly: "Since you know her mind, what do you mean?" A woman's youth is short, and it's not good to hang so white. ”

Chongyan thought for a while, and muttered: "After so many years of love, if she is willing to stay in Chongfu, I will not treat her badly, if she is willing, I will also find a good family for her to marry." ”

Chonglan's heart sank, but he couldn't blame Chongyan, he was just sad for Qingge's infatuation. Hearing what he said, there was no room for turnaround, and she asked without giving up, "Are you like this... Is it because of yesterday's re-whiteness? ”

Chongyan said lightly: "It has nothing to do with yesterday's events, I'm not a person who cares about this, even if there is no yesterday's incident, I plan to do so." ”

It seems that the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless. She recalled it carefully, and although Chongyan was peaceful and polite to Qingge, it was no more, and she didn't see him take special care of her.

Thinking of Qingge's mournful appearance, her heart trembled, and she sighed and said, "It's a pity that she has a heart." ”

Chongyan still looked like the eight winds did not move, standing in the distance without speaking, Chonglan couldn't, so he had to go back to the house with Yan and Yan first.

Since it was Guining to return home, they had to meet a few elders, the two of them went to see Mrs. Yan first, she looked Chonglan up and down a few times, and then looked at Yan He, seeing that the two of them were in good spirits, their faces eased slightly, but they still inevitably muttered: "Jiangning is far away, these days have been wasted in vain, what if you delay official business?" ”

She raised her head and coughed, and ordered: "Now that you have entered my Yan family, you are my Yan family's daughter-in-law, and it is better for Jiang Ning's mother's family to go back less, so as not to gossip about others." ”

Chonglan thought of the big house in Chongfu, but in fact, he didn't think much about going back, this time it was just to save face for Ning, so he said happily: "What my grandmother taught me is that my granddaughter-in-law remembers." ”

Seeing that she was submissive, Mrs. Yan had a look of satisfaction on her face, and said a few words carefully, turned her head to look at Mama Wei, nodded at Mama Wei almost imperceptibly, and then said: "Our Qi Guofu is the public government in the end, and we have our own set of etiquette regulations in our actions, and everything is according to Zhong Mingding's cannibal family, as the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, your every move is related to the face of the Yan family, and you can't be neglected." ”

Chonglan asked respectfully, "What does grandmother mean...?" ”

Old Madam Yan pointed at Mama Wei: "Mama Wei was originally the upbringing of several girls in our house, and the rules are the strictest, and there is no caring person around you to take care of her, I plan to send her over to teach you until you are familiar with the rules of the house." ”

Seeing the opportunity, Mama Wei quickly saluted and said, "The old slave greets Madame." ”

When the marriage was first decided, Mama Wei made a fool of herself in her hands, and Mrs. Yan didn't know about it, so she sent Mama Wei over at this time, saying that it was not to suppress her, but she was afraid that no one would believe it.

Chonglan said in his heart that the eldest brother is really a god, and said, "Grandmother, do you think my etiquette is not thorough? ”

Before Mrs. Yan could speak, Mama Wei replied first: "Young lady forgive the old slave for saying bluntly, there are indeed many omissions in Madame's rules, the first one is this woman's virtue, but fortunately, Madame is still young, and she should be able to correct it after a few days of teaching by the old slave." ”

The woman's virtue is a big loss, she saw that Yan He had already squinted, held his hand quietly, signaled him to be restless, raised her eyebrows and said, "Mama, please speak." ”

Mama Wei held a face: "The husband is in the early days, as a woman, she should marry her husband, the girl is returning to Ning, there is nothing wrong with it, but since the eldest young master has official business, you have to be considerate, and take the initiative to tell your husband to return to Ning later." ”

She made a cold face and stretched out two fingers: "Second, although there is no reason to give a concubine to your husband after only a few days of marriage, at least you have to arrange a few girls to help serve the eldest young master." ”

Chonglan is so nourishing that she can live by doing business, and she scoffs at what her husband says.

If she had relied on her husband to make a living, her mother would not have lost her dowry and gone early; The Bai family will not be pressed on the head by an aunt to make a blessing, and now he can't get up from the sickbed.

Although Yan He treats her well, she also has a large amount of money to marry, at least she doesn't rely on him for everything.

However, these words cannot be spoken, otherwise the crime of women's morality will be confirmed. She smiled and said: "It's a bit strange to say this, there are so many families in Jinling City, even the princess went back to her parents' house on the third day, why did she become an inconsiderate husband when she came to me?" Does Mama think that other people's husbands are all idle at home? Or are the ladies of Jinling City not sympathetic to their husbands? ”

Mama Wei's face froze, and she pretended to sigh: "Our Qi Mansion is a high-ranking family, so we have to pay more attention to the rules, concubines are the root of the family's restlessness, you look at those hairpin families, which one of them will be in a hurry to mention the matter of Xiaoxing's maid within a few days of marriage, I don't care, I'm afraid that my husband will be instructed when he goes out." ”

She wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk and tried to rub her eyes red: "You said that if I go back to my mother's house for a few days, I will delay my business, and if I get a few maids to put them in the room, won't it delay my business even more?" ”

She lamented: "I think about Jin Nian wholeheartedly, just because this caused my grandmother to be disgusted, I also admit it, I just beg my grandmother not to be angry with Jin Nian." She winked at Yan and was about to kneel.

Yan He had a good understanding with her, hugged her, and said lightly: "You didn't do anything wrong, why do you kneel." ”

Mrs. Yan and Mama Wei were choked back by the passage that they had originally prepared, to say that the matter of taking a concubine is indeed not a good thing, where there is a family with a concubine, which one can be intimate and harmonious like a family, so many hairpin families have set up a rule of 'only if you are over forty years old and have no children'.

Chonglan was under the banner of being good for her husband, and they couldn't say anything more, so they had to endure it.

Mama Wei paused, calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Since the young lady insists on this, then it's enough, but this rule and etiquette still have to be learned, the old slave has a straightforward temper, and if there is something wrong with his actions, I hope that Mrs. will take care of it." ”

She leaned on Yan He's body to be weak and helpless, but she snorted coldly in her heart, and tilted her head to be embarrassed: "But my eldest brother sent a letter to Beijing a few days ago and helped me invite a nurturing grandmother back.

Old Madam Yan frowned: "Raising grandma has both teaching etiquette and supervising and disciplining, but not any mother-in-law who comes out of the countryside at random can be a mother-in-law, Mama Wei has been a nurturing grandma in our house for many years, and the rules are extremely strict, and ordinary grandma can't be compared." ”

Mama Wei stroked the cuffs of the half-old brown sprinkled with gold and copper coins, with an arrogant demeanor, and saluted: "The old lady praised it falsely." ”

Chonglan sighed lightly: "That nurturing grandma came out of the palace." She turned her face to Old Madam Yan and said softly, "What did grandmother just say about the countryside?" The granddaughter-in-law didn't hear clearly. ”

Joke, if the rules of Qi Guofu are stricter than those in the palace, then the female officials and grandmothers in the palace will not agree to it for the first time, whether this is true or not, it is disrespectful to say it.

Chonglan looked at Mrs. Yan's flushed face with interest, changed her words, and said slightly: "But the elder can't give up, since grandmother insists on sending Mama Wei here, then the granddaughter-in-law is better than obeying her fate." After she finished speaking, she ordered someone to invite Mama Wei and took her to the courtyard and threw it directly to the newcomer Mama Chen.

She accepted Mama Wei, firstly, to try the depth of Mama Chen's methods, and secondly, she had already squeezed the elders many times in the open and secret today, and if she went too far, she would have a bad reputation.

The two resigned from Mrs. Yan and went directly to Yan Sansi's courtyard to meet him, although Yan Sansi was also mixed, but at least he was a man, and he didn't have so many things to do with Mrs. Yan, and he was much more relaxed after receiving the deer blood wine offered by Chonglan.

He told Yan He to be on an errand, and asked Chonglan to spread the branches and leaves for the Yan family, anxious to enjoy the deer blood wine, and waved his hand to let the two of them get out.

Chonglan walked side by side with Yan He on the road, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile: "Father-in-law is really a wonderful person. ”

Yan He said indifferently: "He has always been like this, as long as he lives comfortably and happily, he doesn't care about anything else." ”

Chonglan was pulled forward by him, pressing the corner of her forehead with a silk: "Your grandmother was originally a person who had no idea, how could she be so troublesome recently?" ”

He narrowed his eyes: "Presumably someone is behind the teaching." ”

Chonglan shook her head, and was about to speak, when suddenly five or six maid women came to her, led by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman dressed as a woman, wearing a pink and orange embroidered plum blossom placket, matched with a horse-faced skirt of the same color, there was an indescribable bright and hearty feeling.

This woman is pretty, but her lips are slightly bigger, but she has a charm when she looks at it more. Yan An, who was standing next to her, turned her head and complained: "I said that I don't like to eat fish, I don't like to eat fish, even the kitchen smells fishy after it's done, you still have to go out fishing with your classmates, if you can't catch it, you see you caught a fish basket, what should I do?" ”

Yan An scratched his head, caught a glimpse of Yan He coldly, forgot everything happily, and said excitedly: "Big brother! ”

Chonglan listened to it, and couldn't help but answer: "You can use rice wine and Huadiao wine to get rid of the fishy smell." She saluted again: "Three cousins, three brothers and sisters." ”

As soon as Yan An saw Yan He, he became excited, and pulled him to talk about the way of Confucius and Mencius.

Yan An's lady He Shi also became excited when she heard that there was a way to kill fish, and said excitedly: "Does it really work with wine?" ”

Chonglan saw the same eyebrows dancing as these two, and couldn't help laughing: "That's natural, I tried it myself." ”

He was overjoyed in his heart, and saluted: "Thank you sister-in-law, otherwise I really don't know what to do with these dozens of fish." She looked eager to try, as if she wanted to pull Chonglan back to show her.

Chonglan couldn't help laughing: "If you really can't finish eating, just send a few to each of the elders in the house." ”

He's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered people to prepare, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law still knows a lot, I can't think of these things, and I may throw them all away in the end." If my sister-in-law is free in the future, can I talk to my sister-in-law? ”

Seeing that He was delicate, she wanted to talk more, but today she was really tired, so she followed the words and said: "That's natural, I'm also worried that no one will speak." ”

After she finished speaking, she pulled Yan He back, waved goodbye to the reluctant Yan An, but couldn't help but smile on the way: "My cousin's temperament is really interesting." ”

The two went back to the courtyard, she thought that Mama Wei would be polite for at least a while, but she didn't expect that this would be against Mama Chen, but she didn't bother to pay attention to these things, and sent the people who came to report it, and let them fight to win or lose.

It was easy to return to the room, she was served by Qingyun and got off the hairpin ring, changed into loose homely clothes, turned her head and asked Qingyun: "What about the painting screen, have you seen it?" ”

Qingyun nodded, she pinched her eyebrows: "That's good, you go down first, Qingge has been cultivating in Chongfu these days, and I've tired you these days, Liuying, I think it's a useful one, and I can help you." As for the picture screen... Let's go back and think about it. ”

Qingyun Surong took the order, she was idle and had nothing to do, so she took the account book for the dowry, and crackled and dialed the abacus beads.

Yan He grabbed her from behind, let her lean on his shoulder, and said in a rambling voice: "You will do this kind of boring thing as soon as you come back." ”

Chonglan glanced at him with disdain: "You really don't know how to do business at all, only in this way can you make money by taking care of your family business from time to time, otherwise you will wait to sit and eat nothing." ”

He glanced at the account book casually, and she suddenly became curious: "I haven't asked you all along, what is your annual salary?" ”

He snorted: "If I had relied on my salary alone, I would have starved to death." He pinched her face: "I can't support you, a poor and extravagant person." ”

Chonglan pushed him: "Don't talk nonsense, talk quickly." ”

Yan He raised his eyebrows: "You really want to know?" ”

Chonglan nodded, and he dragged out: "That night..."

She immediately grasped the meaning, glared at him, and nodded impatiently.

He leaned into Chonglan's ear and reported the number, so much so that she was dumbfounded, and muttered: "No wonder people say that they are poor and rich in martial arts, and fighting a war is really so profitable?" ”

He sighed: "War is a part, but the most profitable thing in the world is not war, nor business, but monopoly." ”

He said lightly: "Although the northwest place is barbaric, it is also subject to few constraints, and those merchants who want to do salt, iron, furs, and all kinds of business have to pass by my place, can they not pay a penny?" There are also wealthy families in the northwest, and annual filial piety is also indispensable. ”

Chong Lan realized, turned his head and glanced at him: "Look at the fine skin and tender meat you raised yourself in the northwest, I think you didn't use your power to do these things." ”

His chin rested on her shoulder, and there was an indescribable relaxed look between his eyebrows: "It's not easy to fight in officialdom, even if I don't do these things, the people below will force me to do them, if it's not beneficial, why should they give you your life to fight and fight to the death?" ”

pressed his eyebrows again distressedly: "It's not easy for you." Still tired? "Thinking that he has been fighting in the northwest for so many years, and he has no family to help, it is not easy to think about it.

He leaned into her slender neck and sniffed it gently, muttering, "It's so fragrant..." ”

Chonglan rarely didn't smack him, and lowered his head and kissed him seriously on his pale lips. He was pulled into his arms and kissed him lingeringly.

The two of them finally got tired of it, the window was wide open, and she felt a little cold, so she called Yan He: "You bring me a shawl in the box." ”

He was also willingly called by her, turned his head to look for her suitcase, and just after a few rummags, a book in his clothes fell out.

On the cover of the book were written the two big characters 'Analects', and he opened them at random to take a look, but the inside was completely naked. The men and women of the body hugged each other to do those things, but the picture was as delicate as flowing water, he looked at it carefully for a while, raised it and asked, "What is this?" ”

Chonglan just glanced at it casually, and the whole person froze, she thought that he hadn't had time to look at it yet, and hurriedly defended: "That's the Analects, don't you know it?" I'm going to take the time to read it and cultivate my temperament. ”

Yan He sighed, and slowly turned a page to her: "You really have a good temperament, but it's a pity that you haven't made much progress after cultivating for so long." ”

This page depicts a couple of men and women sitting on a swing, their clothes still intact. Body... The swing swings high and the two go down. The body is closely connected, and the face is full of joy.

Seeing that she couldn't quibble, she said: "This, this is not what I want, my aunt said that it was the rules, so she forced it into me." ”

Of course, she wouldn't say that Aunt Chong also brought her a spring stool, spices and a lot of other messy things to help her with fun.

He glanced at her casually a few times, and looked at her with a smile: "Since the lady's temperament has not improved much after cultivating it for so long, it must be because she practiced alone." ”

Chonglan couldn't wait to take back all the words he had just said, and blushed and said angrily: "What do you want?!" ”

He twisted the page with two fingers and smiled at her affectionately: "As a husband, how can I bear to watch my lady rest on my laurels, I must help my mother practice together." ”

Before Chonglan could speak, he walked over and brought her to the table, she was wearing a loose fit today, and the silk belt around her waist opened with a slight pull on her robe.

He leaned over to kiss her, then tossed and turned and grinded on his collarbone until she screamed as if she couldn't stand it, put his hands around his shoulders, and resisted weakly: "It's daytime..."
