Chonglan saw that he helped himself back in public, his heart was hot, and he glanced at him slightly, secretly scolding him knowing that he would not have the opportunity to be poor in his life before making such an oath.

Yan He lightly glanced at the old lady Yan who was pale: "Besides, for the time being, the law of our Qi Dynasty stipulates that the marriage is the private property of the housewife, if she does not agree to it, even the husband's family will not be able to use it, our Qi Mansion is a family, and for such a trivial matter, we will use our daughter-in-law to marry, what do outsiders think?" ”

Mrs. Yan had long known that he would not let go easily, but she was still so angry that she was so rejected in person: "It is said that I married a daughter-in-law and forgot my mother, this is really true, when I passed the door, even my mother-in-law didn't say it, and I also consciously subsidized the family, which daughter-in-law didn't come over like this?" Why can't it be done when it comes to your daughter-in-law! ”

Chonglan couldn't help but slander in his heart, so your old man ended up in such a field where there was no money to use.

Yan He's thin white fingers tapped the lid of the bowl lightly, and a cool smile appeared on his lips: "Grandmother was born in Rongchang Bofu, and her maiden family is just an ordinary family, how dare she compare with you?" Naturally, there is no comparison. ”

Mrs. Yan's face was stunned, she often talked about Chonglan's mother's family, and her nephew and daughter-in-law also did the same, but now she was blocked back by Yan He's words, and she was so depressed in her heart.

Seeing this, the sixth aunt hurriedly took over the conversation: "Nephew, you can't say that, you are the eldest son and grandson, this Qi Mansion will be yours and your daughter-in-law sooner or later, if you fall, it will not be good for you in the future, why bother with the gains and losses at this time?" ”

She ignored Ning's indignant gaze and turned to Chonglan again: "Niece and daughter-in-law, you are the most sensible and virtuous, can you tell me if this is the truth?" ”

This is true, but she actually made the problem bigger, could it be that Yan He and Chonglan can't make this money, and Qi Guofu will not be able to fall? Or take a step back and say, what if the Qi State Mansion falls? With Yan He's ability, it is not difficult to be crowned a marquis, and only people in the Qi State Mansion regard this title as rare.

Chonglan pursed her lips secretly and did not answer this conversation.

The sixth aunt was embarrassed, so she simply wiped her eyes with her hand, and cried sadly: "Where is such a ruthless junior, who guards the gold and silver mountains by himself, and sees that there is no rice at home to cook, he doesn't say that he pulls it out, my poor second sister-in-law, you are a famous bodhisattva heart, how did you raise such an iron heart..."

The second sister-in-law she said was Yan He's mother-in-law, although Yan He didn't speak, she lowered her long eyelashes slightly, and her eyes showed a little coldness.

Isn't it just crying, who is afraid of whom? Chonglan saw that she looked like she was going to sprinkle her virtue, so she simply took out a silk and tucked the corners of her eyes: "What did Auntie say this, what is Jinshan Yinshan?" Who cared about Jin Nian when the wind and rain came and went all these years? Every time I help him change clothes, I see that the scars all over his body are trembling, and one of them is cut at the mouth of the heart, I am terrified, and I didn't exchange my life for a few pennies, do I want him to die on the battlefield to be willing? ”

She sees Yan He's body almost every day, to say that there are really not many scars on her body, but there were a lot of injuries back then, but the recuperation has not fallen.

He listened to her take out what was going on in her, his ears were slightly red, and he raised his eyebrows and glared at her

She just didn't see it, and wrung her veil angrily: "Now that Jinnian has just been promoted to governor, if the aunt has to force him to take the money, then simply empty the silver in the treasury, anyway, the head is only a bowl-sized scar, and it is difficult to be loyal and filial to the left and right, and when the time comes, I will also take out the silver and treasures to be sent to the palace to you, and then die with him, and save the reputation of unfilial piety!" ”

To deal with scoundrels, you have to use the method of scoundrels, the sixth aunt's face is pale, not to mention that Yan He and Chonglan will definitely not do this, even if they really take the money back to the house, they will not dare to use it!

The fifth aunt was originally a widow and lived a clean life, and she didn't open her mouth easily, but she couldn't stand it at this time, and frowned and said to the sixth aunt: "What are you talking nonsense, and your brother is guarding the gold and silver mountains, but that's not his silver!" Besides, the deceased is respected, you don't talk about the second sister-in-law. ”

The sixth aunt has never been at odds with her, so she opened her mouth and sneered: "My sister-in-law has no family to support, anyway, you can take your nephew Ping to eat fasting and pray for Buddha, but it's not like us who drag our family with a mouth, and we have a lot of worries." ”

This is a secret scolding of the fifth aunt's widowhood, which is really a bit excessive, but the fifth aunt didn't get angry, and didn't even bother to give her a look: "What if you drag your family with you?" Each family takes care of each family, not to mention that you are still an elder, and there is no reason to let your brother and son pay for you to support you. Besides, I remember that your sixth brother didn't take the salt trade, can't he still support his family? ”

The sixth aunt's face stiffened, and the hand holding the handkerchief was also a meal, every family in Qi Guofu has its own livelihood, and there is really no one to the point where she can't open the pot, it's just that she wants to take this opportunity to bargain for her family.

And... She thought of Yan He and Chonglan's ten-mile red makeup on the day of their wedding, and the dowry was sent in like a stream, not only those daily objects were exquisite and elegant, but also the jewels, jade antiques, famous calligraphy and paintings, and all kinds of treasures from the sea were simply countless, and she couldn't help but feel hot for a while.

The fifth aunt ignored her and turned to Chonglan, with a hint of reproach on her face: "You kid, look at the top clever, can you talk nonsense about filling your own pockets?" Be careful of causing trouble with your brother. ”

Although this tone was a reproach, the words were all honest and good, Chonglan said with sincere gratitude: "Thank you Aunt Fifth for mentioning it, I will never do it again in the future." ”

Mrs. Yan originally expected the sixth aunt to put pressure on Chonglan, but when she saw that she was scolded back by the fifth aunt in a few words, she couldn't help but be very angry, but at this time, there was nothing to do, the two said that there was no money, and she had no ability to force people to hand over the money.

She thought about it, but she still had nothing to do, so she could only wonder: "This Qinghe County Lord is about to enter the door, and our family still has such a big deficit... What can I do? ”

Yan He sighed, and said warmly: "There must be a lot of dowries from the county lord, and she is a clan girl, so she must know the general situation..."

Old Madam Yan heard what he meant, and her heart couldn't help but tremble: "How can it be so..."

Yan He chuckled: "Didn't grandmother also offer her own dowry to supplement the family when she first entered the door?" Why can't a grandmother, but not a county lord? ”

This is equivalent to returning Mrs. Yan's words as they were, her hand holding the cane tightened, her fingertips were a little white, and she seemed to want to speak, so she listened to Yan He continue: "A few adults in the Ministry told me a few days ago that although my father is the Duke of Qi, he has no achievements in Jiangshan Sheji, and he is really embarrassed to be in this position..."

Old Madam Yan's hands trembled, she didn't expect him to threaten her own father, and looked up at him in disbelief.

Yan He had already picked up and stood up, and beckoned to Chonglan: "Since this matter can't be discussed for a while, I'll retire first." ”

He walked out first without waiting for Mrs. Yan to speak, Chonglan walked with him, but he couldn't help frowning on the way: "You and your father-in-law..."

His azure silk trolling slowly unfolded like a fan, and the splendid landscape on it fluttered, and he tilted his head and said, "Do you think I'm cruel?" ”

Chonglan thought of Yan Sansi's virtue, and couldn't help sighing: "He is your father after all." ”

Yan Heen said: "I will ensure that he dies safely, as for the side... Then leave it to fate. After a pause, he said, "Why do you ask this?" ”

This is also the best result, she still feels strange when she thinks about it: "I just don't feel puzzled, for example, my second brother and I, he has done so many bastard things over the years, but after all, it is my own brother, and I also hope that he will be good." is the eldest brother, who is his lips, but he is also worried about helping him find a daughter from a good family to marry, so that he can restrain his temperament. “

He smiled: "Your two brothers treat you very well. ”

Chonglan hesitated and asked, "You are so stiff as your father-in-law... Is it because of my mother-in-law? ”

Yan and his mother were taboo in Qi Guofu, and she could detect that something was wrong with this alone, but if Yan He didn't say it herself, she naturally wouldn't ask more, and she also restrained the people below from asking them.

Yan He groaned: "My mother's adultery was exposed... Forced to commit suicide. ”

Chonglan didn't expect him to say it so directly, and opened his mouth before saying, "This... Could it be that someone deliberately framed it? ”

Yan He shook his head: "It's true." He paused, and said lightly: "At the beginning, my father admired my mother's appearance, so I married her into the door, and then my mother gave birth to me when she had a difficult birth, and she was getting older, and her complexion was not as good as before, and my father was outside to get a new love, and my mother was already arrogant at that time, and I didn't have half a plan, so I was with... Doing something wrong, I watched as my grandmother and father forced her to jump into a well. ”

Chonglan sighed, of course Second Lady Yan was wrong, but Yan Sansi was even more wrong, but neither of them had any concern about Yan He, who was still young, when they acted.

He lowered his long eyelashes: "Although my grandmother issued a strict order not to spread this matter, but over time there have been a lot of rumors, many people say that I am not born to my father, and my grandmother and father are also suspicious after a long time, at that time I was treated harshly at the beginning, I was almost a stranger to the house when I was a child, and when I grew up a little more, I recognized He Lao who was still in office as a teacher, and then almost lived in He Fu, or I stayed in the guest house outside." ”

When he said this, his tone was calm, as if he was talking about other people's business, Chonglan was sad when he heard it, and reluctantly smiled at him: "No wonder these crooked bamboos have produced your good bamboo shoots, it turns out that they didn't grow here." ”

Yan He smiled, took her hand and said: "When I was a child, I thought that if I could find someone who was in love with her, I would definitely treat her wholeheartedly in the future." If it weren't for him, I'd rather never marry for the rest of my life. ”

Chonglan's face turned red, and her eyes were slightly horizontal: "I think you're afraid that she will do such a thing." ”

Yan He said calmly: "With me, who is willing to go to the wall?" ”

Chonglan saw that he was boasting about himself, and looked at him with disdain, and the two of them had already walked to the courtyard while talking, and she patted her head and said, "You can't just forget it, you have to think of a way to add to the blockage for your grandmother." ”

She turned her head and instructed Qingge: "You go and find Aunt Yan and tell her about today's events, she will naturally know what to do then." ”

Aunt Yan came after a while, and she still came in a hurry, she rushed straight into the east courtyard of Mrs. Yan, and asked loudly as soon as she came in: "Mother, did you invite the fourth, fifth, sixth and a few uncles to suppress the eldest nephew and force him to take money to supplement the house?!" ”

Old Mrs. Yan rushed in when she saw her big grin, and asked so bluntly, she was inevitably unhappy in her heart, but she didn't blame her daughter, she just said: "You don't stay at your husband's house, what are you doing here?" ”

She said with a sudden change in her face: "It's my brother and daughter-in-law who are complaining to you, I said that she has a lot of eyes, you still don't believe it, you see... Hum! ”

Aunt Yan looked Old Madam Yan up and down a few times, frowned and said, "Don't blame this and that, just talk about it, just tell me if there is really such a thing?" ”

Old Madam Yan frowned impatiently: "So what?" As an elder in the family, can't I talk about her? ”

Aunt Yan was one head and two big, and she said, "You are really... Why are you so confused! ”

If others dared to talk like this, Old Madam Yan would have ordered someone to go out, Aunt Yan was born with such a cool temper, she had to stare at her hatefully and said: "You are also a lot of age, and you have children and daughters in the family, so you talk to your elders like this?" ”

Aunt Yan waved her hand: "Don't be in a hurry to find me first, wait for me to finish talking to you first, what you did is really wrong!" ”

Seeing that Mrs. Yan was about to scold again, she took the first step to speak: "Let's start with the number of etiquette, how can there be a reason for a father-in-law to marry his daughter-in-law to marry, it is simply a strange news, if outsiders know, maybe it will be so ugly!" And the dowry is the private property of the housewife, and if the husband's family wants to use it, he must agree to it. Who will dare to marry our family in the future? ”

She said so much in one breath, picked up the tea cup and drank it all, before tucking the corners of her mouth with a silk and continuing: "Even if you put aside the Pingle County Palace, the remaining silver money in our family can't be lost in vain, whoever loses it, you go to whom, no matter how much sister-in-law covers the sky with her hands, she always has to be managed by family law, she should be beaten and scolded, why should she let her brother and daughter-in-law pay for it?" ”

She breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "You still have a mistake, why do you give as much as the Pingle County Palace, they ask for a price, won't you pay it back on the spot?" To put it mildly, is the widow of the county lord of Qinghe who killed her husband worth so much? The ugly things on her body are more anxious to cover up than us, and her stomach will definitely not be able to hide it after a while, and she will have to beg us to send people into the mansion when the time comes, what are you doing in such a hurry?! ”

Old Madam Yan's ears are soft, and she is most afraid of such tough people, and she also feels reasonable when she hears this, and she sneered: "It was your aunt of the Liu family who said that I should respond to the request of the Pingle County Mansion earlier, so that I can save a lot of dreams at night..."

Aunt Yan said angrily: "The Pingle County Royal Mansion will invite lobbyists, and the bad idea of asking your brother and daughter-in-law for money is also from your aunt?" ”

Old Madam Yan's face flushed, and she nodded slowly, as if she didn't know what to think, and complained to Aunt Yan unhappily: "Your nephew and daughter-in-law have no rules for dealing with people, and their minds are not right, and they are not respectful to their elders.

Aunt Yan was so angry that her face twitched one after another, and her head shook wildly, and she couldn't speak.

She gritted her teeth, endured the fire in her heart, and comforted her bitterly: "Mother, why don't you understand, it's obvious that Liu Yuan didn't get a bargain with her brother and daughter-in-law, and let her aunt come to trouble you with your brother and daughter-in-law, this is using you as a gunman, how can you listen to her?" ”

Old Madam Yan didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, and snorted angrily: "It's good to look at her, Yuan'er, I grew up watching it since I was a child, and I would never do that kind of thing!" Besides, even if her assassination of Yuan'er is fake, it's always true to contradict the elders, right? ”

After she finished speaking, her face was full of sadness, and she sighed with her forehead: "It would have been nice if I had married Yuan'er with my brother, there would definitely not be so many things, but I married this..."

Aunt Yan was quite speechless when she thought of Liu Yuan's pretentious appearance, and turned her head and sneered: "What did my mother say, if it was Liu Yuan who married in, do you think the eldest aunt would be willing to let you move her dowry?!" ”

Mrs. Yan was stunned, and Aunt Yan made persistent efforts to say: "I see that my brother and daughter-in-law are very knowledgeable, and they also have their own temperament in dealing with people. It's just that the reason you asked for money today is too outrageous, and I will never give it to me. ”

Old Madam Yan said unhappily: "Could it be that if I ask for it for another reason, she will be willing to give it?" ”

After listening to her old man for a long time, she heard the sentence asking for money, Aunt Yan couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Quickly put away that thought, we have a grange and a shop, why do you have to calculate other people's money." ”

Old Mrs. Yan was still not happy, so Aunt Yan had to stay and coax her, and only at night did she order someone to pass the word to Chonglan and go back to the house by herself.

......

However, Chonglan also had troubles at this time, she frowned and stared at the two extra maids in the courtyard, in fact, one was an old acquaintance paper kite, and the other was beautiful but had eyes, turned her head and asked Liuying, "What's going on?" ”

Liuying's face was full of embarrassment, and just as she was about to speak, the paper kite knelt down very neatly and said: "Back to the young lady's words, the old lady is sympathetic to the young lady's hard work in serving the young master, and sent us to the courtyard a few days ago to wait, just waiting for the young master and young lady to come back and let us serve." ”

Liuying stayed to watch the house, this matter was indeed her dereliction of duty, she hung her head and reported the day ashamedly: "The old lady sent people over that day, I couldn't stop it, and I didn't dare to stop it, and the old lady still stopped me from sending a message to the past..."

She knelt down at once and said, "Please punish the young lady." ”

The day she said was the day when Chonglan drove Mama Wei back, Chonglan sighed and raised her hand to get her up: "That's it, what are you a subordinate... I can't blame you for this. ”

She was really tired today, and she didn't bother to talk nonsense with the two of them anymore, so she said casually: "Since you are serving me, let's live in the west house now." Qingge, you go and teach them the rules in the courtyard. ”

She directly ignored the young master, and the paper kite seemed to be unwilling, but she didn't dare to speak, lowered her head and slowly followed Qingge.

Chonglan turned around and went back to the house with a gloomy face, picked up the fan and fanned it and felt that his heart was on fire, and he saw Yan He bowing his head to paint, so he sprinkled all the fire on him, and knocked on the table with the handle of the fan: "You are proud, as soon as you go home, there are two more beautiful girls waiting for you, and others can't ask for Yanfu." ”

Yan He has been used to her messing around these days, and said indifferently: "I only have a lady in my eyes, what does it matter to me if there are more and fewer others?" ”

Chonglan was blocked, and looked him up and down again, trying to find the wrong place but couldn't find it, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "You don't have anything to wear azure, look at it is really unlucky, can't you wear brighter!" ”

If he was dressed brightly, she would definitely say, "What are you doing in such a bright dress, don't you see that I am in bad luck!" ”

Yan He silently turned the words around in his heart, and his thin white fingers put on the gold buckle around his neck: "Lan Lan wants to see me take it all off?" ”

Chonglan was blocked back again, and knocked the tabletop, but she didn't expect the handle of the fan to crack from it all of a sudden, and she found it again, and handed the fan under his nose: "Have you seen it, the fan has been broken by you, what do I use when I turn around?!" ”

"......" Yan He felt that he still underestimated her too much, and was silent for a long time before saying, "I'll compensate you." ”

Chonglan nodded with satisfaction, in fact, she didn't look at him unpleasantly, she just wanted to find someone to vent her anger, and he was the only one in the Qi Mansion who could let her get angry.

He said that he wanted to pay for the fan, but he still stood motionless, but changed another plain silk and began to paint, Chonglan waited for a while, saw him drooping his eyes and painting seriously, and couldn't help poking him: "Is there such a thing as you, don't you want to pay me a fan, what about the fan?" ”

Yan He glanced at her: "Don't be impatient." Then he lowered his head and began to draw intently.

Chonglan was bored and was about to come forward to harass him, but he stopped writing and got up, and showed her the painting: "How about this fan?" ”

She was stunned, the eyes of the woman in the painting were half-open and half-closed, as if there was water and light flowing, shy and timid, with fluffy temples, leaning on the chaise longue, raising one hand slightly, revealing a wordless invitation.

Although the clothes are neat, there is an indescribable style all over the body, and a few strokes outline the natural □□, and most importantly, the facial features of the woman in the painting are exactly the same as hers.

Yan He bit her earlobe: "Like it?" ”

It's like it's really like, but her red lips are slightly pursed on the painting, and her teeth are half exposed. Huan, she blushed when she looked at herself, and shook her head resolutely: "It's not like it!" ”

Yan He stroked his chin and pondered, "Isn't it like that?" But that's not the case every time you're emotional. ”
