99. Ninety-nine

Yan Wei naturally heard the meaning of Ru Xi's voice, hesitated for a moment, and nodded lightly to Fengwei.

Fengwei was slightly blessed again, lowered his voice a little, and still vaguely worded, and roughly explained to Ruji. In some words, it is still inconvenient to export the swallow cocoon.

In fact, it's not complicated to say, Yan Yuan's marriage is a typical marriage. Before marriage, Yan Miao also met the third son of the Xuan family once, of course, not in private, and he didn't speak, but he had an impression of each other from afar, and felt that the appearance and temperament of the talents were reasonable. The relationship between the two families was already discussed by the elders at that time, and the parties to the marriage had no strong objections. Although the two of them didn't know each other's appearance for the first time on the day of the wedding, they were basically the same, and they didn't have a particularly deep emotional foundation. After marriage, it can only be regarded as harmony, basically there has been no conflict or dispute, and it can be regarded as a typical "respectful and guest" type.

But it has been two years and seven months since Yan Miao came out of the cabinet, and the third son of Xuan is now the only junior in the Xuan family who currently has no children under his knees. Although the husband and wife are still young, they are under a lot of pressure. In fact, since three months ago, Mrs. Xuan has already revealed some thoughts about considering taking a concubine for the third son of Xuan.

The family rule of the Xuan family for many years is that girls are not allowed to have children. If the old man and the young master want to have people in the room, regardless of their original background, they must be officially given the title of aunt after the permission of the elders, and the maid and the concubine are extremely distinct. So Mrs. Xuan wants to give her son a concubine, which naturally means that she has to accept the eldest son.

Now that Yan Miao has no children, it is not long or short, in other words, this matter is between the two. Generally speaking, the age of marriage in a girl's family is fifteen or sixteen, thirteen or fourteen in the early one, seventeen or eighteen in the eldest one, and the man is two or three years later at most, which is very similar. If you are thirty or forty childless, basically no one can stop you from taking a concubine. But more families start to think about the issue of the eldest son when they haven't seen their daughter-in-law pregnant for two to three years after marriage. Yan Miao has been married for two and a half years now, and the Xuan family can't say that they haven't waited, but if Huan Ningbo Mansion asks to wait for another half a year or even a year, it can't be too much.

And Mrs. Wen, the prince of the world, is Yan Yuan's mother in etiquette, so she is naturally the elder who will negotiate with the Xuan family in this situation.

"Could it be that the second lady agreed to let the Xuan family take a concubine now?" Although Ruji understood this situation, she still felt a little unbelievable. The wife of the prince, Wen, also has a biological daughter under her knees, Yan Jia, who is now fourteen years old, that is, the one who Shi Zhonglang had thought about planning before. If the Wen family relents to the Xuan family now, isn't he afraid that his reputation will be affected? Aren't you afraid that Yan Jia will encounter the same situation in the future?

Fengwei lowered her head slightly, probably to cover up the resentment and contempt in her eyes: "Mrs. Shizi said that the eldest aunt and grandmother, as the eldest daughter of Huan Ningbo Mansion, are no more petty than the little girl, and she should be generous in everything." Now that the Xuan family has waited for so long, it is enough. If you don't worry about the people the Xuan family is looking for, the Wen family has a cousin girl who is just right, I heard that it was still in the Lantern Festival in Gyeongbokga Temple before......"

Ru Xi's face finally changed: "How about the lantern festival?" Could it be that I have already met with my eldest brother-in-law? ”

Feng Wei nodded, and Yan Wei didn't have any more tears, but she felt that this thing was disgusting and embarrassing, so she turned her head to the other side.

Ru Xi was quiet, only to feel the anger in her heart rush up suddenly, and once again understood the so-called "corruption of high society". What a wealthy family, what princes and princesses, on the surface, etiquette is very defensive, but in fact, it is shameless for the sake of purpose, it is really a male thief and a female prostitute inlaid with gold and jade.

"What do the other elders say?" Ru Xi stroked Yan Yuan's somewhat cold hand, "This matter can't all rely on Mrs. Shizi's words alone." ”

Yan Wei lowered her head, but Feng Wei replied on her behalf: "The prince was ordered to go to Quanzhou to train the navy, but I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the capital for a while and a half." Although the third wife is reasonable, the aunt in the next room can't go beyond Mrs. Shizi. The etiquette, the old and the young, are all put. ”

Ru Ji knows that this is the truth, and sometimes this high-ranking family is torn up, which is more troublesome: "What about the old man and the old lady?" Even if the mother-in-law stands on the etiquette, there are still the next generation. Hasn't the old lady always loved her big sister the most? ”

Yan Miao sighed softly: "Last year, my grandmother was seriously ill, and the imperial doctor told me to recuperate and recuperate, and not to move. Among the younger generations in the mansion, in fact, except for Xiao Ge'er and Lu Ying, who are really good, none of them are worrying. I didn't want to go home and talk about it, after all, my mother-in-law only mentioned it, but it wasn't to the point where she started picking people. Can...... But I never expected that at the lantern festival in June, ......"

Ruji couldn't help pouting, what kind of lights were lit and what fireworks were set off in the June Lantern Festival of Gyeongbokgsa Temple, which was clearly the Tanabata Festival. On and off that mountain on the same day, how many romantic stories have been written?

Looking at the story of Ruyan Rushu Shuang'e's mantis yellow finch before, Ru Xi was full of sighs of "live a long time", but what Yan Miao said in front of her still made Ru Xi feel a little uncomfortable.

But at this time, how to persuade Yan Jiao is also a problem. The so-called inexorcisable intimacy, Yan Miao's reluctance to worry her grandmother about her own problems is her filial piety. Ruji, as a junior who is not related to Mrs. Bo, can't say: It should be fine, you try?

What's even worse is that what makes Yan Yuan the most sad at this moment is not Mrs. Wen's attitude, which should be expected. What Yan Miao really can't bear is that if something really happens to her husband and the girl of the Wen family at the Gyeongbokgok Temple Lantern Festival, whether it is physical derailment or mental derailment, it will be a big blow.

At this time, Ruji suddenly felt a strong nostalgia for modern society again.

If it were in modern times, what would she say to Yan Yuan?

What to cry cry about, don't cry! Fuck it! Separation, divorce! Sisters, introduce you to better ones!

It's a pity that she may never have a chance to say such bold words.

Ru Ji was here quickly YY, and the iris greeted people loudly: "Danque girl, why did you come here?" ”

Yan Wei and Feng Wei showed some disgust almost at the same time, and Ru Xi immediately understood. This Danque girl should be the person next to Mrs. Shizi.

"Auntie, cousin." Iris greeting the red bird is to remind this side, in fact, everyone knows it. After a few vague sentences, Danque came over to salute, Ruji's eyes lit up slightly, this girl is so pretty!

Goose egg face willow eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, eyes like water, although the appearance is not too amazing, but the skin is white and greasy, the waist is slender like a willow, obviously wearing a silver-red armor similar to the phoenix tail iris, but you can still see at a glance that the posture is superior. It's just that a pair of cut-out pupils are too flexible, and it's a little too clever to look at.

"Auntie, Madame, please come over." Danque saw that he was finished, and naturally he was going to say this, with obvious arrogance in his smile, he quickly glanced at Yan Yuan's red and swollen eyelids, and there was a trace of very light mockery in his eyes.

Yan Miao was disgusted and didn't want to look at the Danque squarely, so she looked in the other direction and didn't see it, but the angle at which Ru Ji was sitting was just very clear.

"Got it." Yan Miao replied casually.

"Auntie, Mrs. Shizi, please come over quickly." Danque smiled and said again, "Madam said, you are the eldest daughter of the house, and the eldest aunt and grandmother should be generous." I don't like what my mother said, and I don't have the reason to go away in front of so many relatives, so you better go back quickly. ”

"What's your name?" Such as a cold socket.

Danque was a little surprised: "The slave maid is called Danque, didn't you tell your cousin and grandmother just now?" ”

"What's your last name?" Ru Xi stroked her nails and glanced at her again.

Danque was stunned and reacted a little. But I couldn't help but answer this, so I had to respond: "The surname is Wen." The slave maid is the dowry of the wife of the prince. ”

Ru Ji smiled: "The surname is Wen, not bad." Do you know words? ”

Danque couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking to himself what this cousin and grandmother were going to say? This time, the answer was even shorter: "Yes." ”

"Can you write the word 'Wen'?" Ru Ji asked again with a smile.

"Yes." Danque was a little impatient, and turned his head to look at Yan Miao again, "Auntie, Grandma-"

"Do you really?" Ru Ji sneered, "Do you really know what your last name is and who you're talking to!" ”

Danque was startled, his face immediately swelled, and he almost instinctively wanted to take half a step back, but after a while, he reacted to Ruji, and his heart immediately turned to shame and anger, and he sneered at each other: "Grandma Chen, what you say, the maid doesn't understand much." The maid was originally married by the Yiyang Hou Mansion, and now she is also the maid of Huan Ningbo Mansion. What do you mean? ”

Ru Ji beckoned and shouted: "Xia Yin, palm mouth." ”

Xia Yin had already returned to Ruxi's side when Danque came to salute closely, she had followed Yan Xuan closely, and she had even been to the Chaoyuan Hunting Ground and the Imperial City Forbidden Palace several times, once Yan Xuan turned her face, she dared to roll up her sleeves and copy the guy and use force with a knife and a gun, where would she put a maid like Danque in her eyes?

Immediately responded to the sound of two steps forward, and pulled Danque's collar downward, Danque had never practiced martial arts, and was pulled by Xia Yin and fell to the ground involuntarily. Then he raised his hand and hit it, and slapped it four times, but before Danque could fully understand it, his face was numb at first, and then the pinprick swelling pain slowly emerged.

"Y-you-" Dan Que couldn't believe that he had been beaten by such a broken cousin?

"Xia Yin, listen to her!" Ru Ji said angrily, "You, mine, is this what she should say?" ”

"Yes!" Xia Yin responded again, this time he didn't force Danque to kneel, he directly raised his hand and slapped two more faces. In fact, Mrs. Shizi and Mrs. Lin Chengyue have been incompatible for a long time, and the children in the second and third rooms do not like each other, and the people are naturally too. Danque is the daughter of the housekeeper of the Wen family, the wife of the prince, so she is also surnamed Wen. Because of his flexible mind and good looks, he has always been very liked by the Wen family, Xia Yin was very happy after these six slaps, and even some hoped that Danque would be stubborn a few more words, and it would be best to attract other maids and colleagues in the third room to watch it.

It's a pity that Danque finally reacted after these two slaps, what makes a female man not suffer the loss in front of him, and knelt down in front of Ru Ji with a poof: "There are a lot of cousins and grandmothers, and the maid is confused and anxious for a while, and the name is wrong, so you can spare it." ”
