CHAPTER XXXVI

The news of Yan Xiu's triumph finally came back, and our army achieved a great victory in this battle, which lasted two and a half years, with a small amount of damage, and was scheduled to return in triumph in July.

When Liu told the news to the four children of the Yan family, Yan Zhaohua and Yan Ruiqian were quite peaceful, but Yan Zhaoning and Yan Shuyan jumped up from their chairs happily, and Yan Zhaoning said:

"Great, great, Daddy is finally coming back."

This news is really great for Yan Zhaoning, not only is Daddy coming back, but he is also coming back with a big victory, and before the triumphant team returns, the emperor's rewards have come down in an endless stream, and I heard that after Yan Xiu comes back, there will be a big reward.

After Yan Zhaoning knew the news, she walked like she was drifting in the wind these days, and her mood was much more beautiful, anyone could see that she was radiant, but it was no wonder that Yan Zhaoning was happy, Yan Xiu's great victory not only meant the leap of Changning Houfu, but also her value as the daughter of Changning Houfu naturally rose with the tide, in the past, she always felt that she was a head shorter than Xie Xinrou and Xie Xinyuan, the two granddaughters of the Guogong Mansion, but Yan Xiu won the battle, and Changning Houfu is not what it used to be. She will never feel that she can compare to Xie Xinrou and them again, and in front of her little sisters, she can raise her eyebrows again, is there anything more happy for her?

"Waiting for this triumphant return, Sister Ning, the prestige of your Changning Houfu is definitely going to a higher level, congratulations first."

The daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites said to Yan Zhaoning, and the corners of her delicate eyes were full of envy.

The second lady of General Tingwei's family next to her also echoed: "Wan'er is right, congratulations so much, Sister Ning will only make friends in the future with the county lord, the county lord, the princess and the like, but don't look down on our sisters from small families." ”

The voices of flattery from the left and right sounded endlessly, and Yan Zhao Ningmei was in his heart, but on the surface he was very modest, and said:

"What did Erniang say, how could I look down on people? No matter what happens in the future, our sisterhood will never change. ”

It's not the first time that Zhaoning has said these superficial words, but there has never been such confidence as this time, in the past, she was afraid that others would poke her sore spots, saying that she was pretending, because she was indeed a fatherless daughter, and there was a sister above, living in her grandfather's house, but her grandmother was a concubine, and she couldn't be on the stage, and her grandmother was like a changed person, she only cared about her granddaughter, and couldn't take care of her at all, so whenever she was interacting with these young ladies, although she always borrowed the momentum of the two families, But in the end, I feel that there is something unjustifiable, and this time it is different, Yan Xiu is her biological father, he won the battle, and it has spread throughout the capital, the emperor has many rewards for the Yan family, and it can be said that Changning Houfu is among the first-class Houfu, so Yan Zhaoning feels that he is full of confidence.

The girls next to them looked at each other, and the daughter of the previous scholar of the Ministry of Rites pulled away a little girl beside Yan Zhaoning, sat next to her, and then hugged Yan Zhaoning's arm and whispered to her:

"By the way, have you heard? This time, the emperor not only wants to seal the Changning Houfu, but it is said that he will also shade his children. ”

If this news came out of the mouths of others, Yan Zhaoning would definitely not believe it, but Mo Wan'er was the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and it was not without reason that she knew these in advance, so Yan Zhaoning's eyes immediately lit up, pulled Mo Wan'er to the side, and asked in a low voice:

"You tell me in detail, how does the emperor want to shade it?"

Yan Zhaoning's heart suddenly tensed, generally the heroes have no seal, and after the reward is not rewarded, it will indeed happen to shadow the children, generally to give the children to the heirs, if it is the emperor's grace, maybe the daughter of the Yan family will be crowned a county lord or something, this is of course the best idea, but just this idea is enough to make Yan Zhaoning look forward to it.

If she can be named a county lord, then she will no longer be afraid of Yan Zhaohua pressing on her head in this life.

She wanted to hear something definite from Mo Wan'er's mouth, but unfortunately, Mo Wan'er herself only heard a rumor by chance, where could she say it accurately, and she didn't want to lose face, and said: "Oh, how can I know how to shade it!" But...... I think even if Yin Ji may only reward the eldest son, you can go back to your sister and brother and let them look forward to it. ”

Mo Wan'er's words made Yan Zhaoning so angry that she immediately pulled down her face, didn't even say hello to Mo Wan'er, turned her head and left, and returned to the place where she was talking with the girls before, someone asked her what was wrong, she only smiled and didn't speak, Mo Wan'er felt that this person was very rude, not to tell her such good news, she should thank herself, but she was good, not only did she not thank her, but she also put on a face for Mo Wan'er, did she really think of herself as a phoenix that had flown on the branches? In this circle, everyone is a temperamental young lady, Mo Wan'er snorted coldly, shook off her skirt and walked away with a roll of her eyes at Yan Zhaoning.

Although it was just a few words that Mo Wan'er didn't know whether it was true or false, it was obvious that these words were on Yan Zhaoning's heart, she went back to dream that night, and dreamed that the emperor canonized her as a princess, it's great to be a county lord, but even if it's just a county lord, Yan Zhaoning thinks it's good.

These days, as soon as she sits down, she begins to imagine the future, falling into that wonderful dream and unable to get out.

A prodigal voice came into Yan Zhaoning's ears, which made her wake up from her sweet dream, she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, turned her head to look over, and saw a handsome man in his twenties appear in front of her, Yan Zhaoning saw that it was him, and couldn't help but retract the resentment in his belly, and only dared to ask angrily:

"Why are you, what are you doing here?"

The handsome man was not polite, he sat down opposite her, picked up the tea on her table and poured a cup, and after taking a sip, he said to Yan Zhaoning in a rather scoundrel voice: "What do you mean, I am your brother-in-law, don't call me anything, you still dislike me like this, you are not afraid that I will sue your grandmother and let her clean you up for me." ”

This person is Gong's younger brother, Gong Ruquan. Gong's feelings for this younger brother are deeper than for his own son, Yan Zhaoning is okay with anyone, but she doesn't dare to be angry with Gong Ruquan, because she knows that Gong will really teach her granddaughter a lesson because of Gong Ruquan's younger brother.

"Hey, I'll tell you a joke, I won't tell her." Gong Ruquansheng's eyebrows are clear and beautiful, if it weren't for the flow of air brought out of his bones, wearing serious clothes, he really looks like a child of a wealthy family, this look has helped him deceive many people, Yan Zhaoning was also deceived by him when he first saw him, but when she really got along with him, she knew that this man was not as pure and good as he looked on the surface, it was rotten in his bones.

Yan Zhaoning didn't like him, but she didn't dare to offend him lightly, after all, she still had to rely on the Gong family to support her now in the Xie family.

"I don't sue her, but you have to sue me, what did you think just now? The look of Ha Lazi is about to flow out, little girl, it won't be Si and Chun, right? ”

Yan Zhaoning didn't feel strange at all when she said this kind of obscene language from Gong Ruquan's mouth, and it was not the first time she heard it, this is the reason why she hated being involved with the Gong family, the people of their Gong family, from head to toe, from top to bottom, flowed out of a pariah stench, but they were still unconscious, thinking that if they climbed into the wealthy family of the Xie family, they would be reborn and become masters, untouchables are untouchables everywhere, even if they are praised highly, they will still do those dirty things and say lowly words.

It's like Gong Ruquan, who is gentle and handsome on the surface, but he doesn't know how many despicable things he has done behind his back, but Gong doesn't care about him, because of his temperament, even if there are some small things occasionally, Gong's connections and power accumulated over the years have all been erased for him, Yan Zhaoning always felt that Gong Ruquan was like a bomb, and sooner or later one day the Gong family would be blown up to the ground.

I made up my mind in my heart, as long as she waited for Yan Xiu to come back, she would not deal with these lowly people, and she would be the daughter of the Hou Mansion at that time, so where would she need the care of the Gong family.

Thinking that Yan Xiu was about to come back, this time, Yan Zhaoning did not indulge in disrespectful words like Gong Ruquan as usual, but slapped the table and said angrily: "What nonsense? You show me a little respect. ”

Gong Ruquan was eating a snack, but he didn't expect Yan Zhaoning to suddenly get angry, chewed and swallowed the dim sum in his mouth, stared at her for a long time, and saw that she didn't flinch as usual, Gong Ruquan put down the pastry, patted the crumbs in his hand, shrugged his shoulders and said:

"It's so angry! Whoever recruited you, sue my brother-in-law, I will be angry for you. ”

Although Gong Ruquan is messing around, he also knows the proportion, this girl is a daughter of the Hou Mansion in the end, not the kind of folk girl who can let him play with it, a little temper can be accepted, just in time for him to be in a good mood today, so he won't worry about her.

As he spoke, he was about to pull Yan Zhaoning to sit down, but Yan Zhaoning threw him away, and said viciously: "If you don't let go of respect, believe it or not, I let people cut off your hands and feed the dogs!" ”

If Yan Zhaoning had a mirror in front of her, she would find that her current expression was no different from that of the Gong family, and she still felt that she was a level higher than these people, but she didn't know that she had already been reduced to the same appearance.

Gong Ruquan is not a good-tempered person, so he stood up and pushed Yan Zhaoning and said, "Did you take the wrong medicine today?" Talking like a cannon fight, just a little wow? ”

Yan Zhaoning's small body could withstand Gong Ruquan's push, he took a few steps back, and almost fell to the ground, fortunately he was supported by the maid, and was about to settle accounts with Gong Ruquan, when he heard the rumor from his mother-in-law outside, saying that the eldest lady was coming.

The eldest lady in the mother-in-law's mouth naturally refers to the eldest lady of the Yan family, Yan Zhaohua, as soon as the mother-in-law finished transmitting, Yan Zhaohua walked in with two maids, one of whom was holding a tray with two sets of brand-new dresses on it.

When Yan Zhaoning saw Yan Zhaohua coming, he hurriedly cleaned up his mood, greeted him out, and said with a smile:

"Why is the eldest sister here?"

Yan Zhaohua stopped, didn't plan to go in, pointed to the things in Dye Xiang's hand, and said, "Uncle made us a few clothes, I just went to get them, so I will send them to you by the way." ”

After Yan Zhaohua finished speaking, he saw a man standing in Yan Zhaoning's hall, turned his head to look, and saw Gong Ruquan leaning against the door with his hands on his chest, scanning Yan Zhaohua up and down, Yan Zhaohua was stared at by him, only to feel that the pores on his body were erected, and it felt as if he was being stared at by a cold and poisonous snake, which made people feel sick while feeling hairy.
