Chapter 81

Yan Zhaohua returned to Changning Houfu again, and lived in the Qingque Ju where he used to live, except for the utensils and furnishings, the pattern was no different from before, after Yan Zhaohua settled down in the Qingque Ju, Yan Xiu sent someone to call her to the study.

Yan Xiu's study was stacked with the salutes and items he had brought back from southern Xinjiang, and after Yan Zhaohua entered, Yan Xiu took out some of his books from the box and said to Yan Zhaohua: "Take out the pen in the box on the table and put it in the pen washing jar." ”

Yan Zhaohua didn't speak, she did as Yan Xiu instructed, and there was no superfluous word from beginning to end, as if she also thought that Yan Xiu called her over to help him pack things together.

Yan Xiu summoned this daughter, but he was not polite at all, and walked back and forth several times before finally sorting out the things he brought back.

Yan Zhaohua washed her hands and was wiping her hands with a handkerchief, Yan Xiu handed her a box, and Yan Zhaohua asked him:

"What is this?"

Yan Xiu said: "It's for you, see if you like it?" ”

Yan Zhaohua opened the box and saw a set of twelve glass rabbits inside, with ears propped up, and eyes inlaid with clear rubies, which were vivid and in various postures. looked at Yan Xiu, only to hear Yan Xiu say:

"I didn't expect you to grow so tall in the past two years, and you still have the impression that you are a little small, and the rabbit is just right for you to play, but now it seems that you are a big girl, maybe you want something else?"

Yan Zhaohua inexplicably felt that his nose was sour, and he didn't speak, but just stretched out his slender fingers and touched the body of a rabbit scratching his ears, and after a long time, he hooked his lips and closed the box, and said to Yan Xiu:

"Daddy, that's wrong, I love it, there's nothing more suitable for me to play with."

Yan Xiu heard her say this, and laughed along, Yan Zhaohua looked at his smile a little rusty, although Yan Xiu didn't often smile at her in the past, but occasionally he could see a few times from Xie Shi and Yan Zhaoning.

Seeing his daughter staring at him, Yan Xiu simply put down the things in his hand, propped himself on the table behind him, and said:

"I heard your grandfather say that some time ago, you had someone beat Aunt Gong's younger brother?"

Yan Zhaohua was opening the box and observing her little rabbit, listening to Yan Xiu's mouth, he knew in his heart that it was not easy for Yan Xiu to call her over today, he didn't look up to see Yan Xiu's expression, he just nodded indifferently and responded, thinking that Yan Xiu wanted to teach her another lesson in this behavior, but he didn't expect Yan Xiu to open his mouth and say:

"Good fight, I wanted to hit him for a long time."

Yan Zhaohua looked up at Yan Xiu suddenly, only to see Yan Xiu looking at her with a serious look, Yan Xiu looked at the surprise in his daughter's eyes, smiled, and said, "Do you think I'm going to scold you?" ”

Yan Zhaohua was taken aback by Yan Xiu's words, lowered his head, and replied in a low voice: "I played a smart man, so that my grandfather didn't dare to punish me, but in fact, I did do something wrong, and I shouldn't have interfered in the affairs of the Xie family's backyard." I'm getting Daddy in trouble. ”

"What's the trouble? I've been told by your grandfather not once or twice, even if it wasn't for you, he would have taught me a lesson. Now that he has disciplined me, I am quite happy, after all, he suffered at the hands of my daughter. ”

Yan Zhaohua really felt that Yan Xiu came back this time, and it seemed to have changed a little more than before, whether her misunderstanding of Yan Xiu in her previous life was too deep, it can be seen how much influence Xie had on her and Yan Xiu, now that Xie is gone, Yan Xiu is willing to sit down and talk calmly with her children.

The look of pursing her lips and smiling is really a bit like Xie Wei. Yan Xiu lowered his eyes and lost his mind for a moment, I don't know why, during this time, I always miss Xie Wei when I first met, when I first got married, he had a lot of women, but it is undeniable that no one can take Wei Wei's position in his heart, if Xie Wei is not so sensitive, not so strong, maybe after so many years of running-in, they can also be a model couple that everyone envies, it's a pity......

Gathering his mind and exhaling, Yan Xiu said today's topic to Yan Zhaohua.

"By the way, you heard what I said at your grandfather's house before. The emperor intends to canonize a county lord in our family, I don't know if there is a food town, but it's always a title, if you're okay these days, just go to the city to give porridge, I'll prepare things and people for you, as long as you show up properly. ”

Yan Xiu's words made Yan Zhaohua a little stunned, and Yan Xiu saw that she didn't understand, and explained:

"What a stupid girl, if the emperor wants to make you the county lord, do you also have to have a good reputation that everyone praises? It's never too late to do good deeds, I'm going to build a pavilion outside the city, it's called Zhaohua Pavilion, and every fifteenth day of the new year in the future, I will go there in your name to give porridge and put grain......" Yan Xiu thought about it, and added: "While earning you fame, you also accumulate virtue for me, and the people you have killed in the past two years...... Too much. ”

Yan Zhaohua looked at Yan Xiu, it seemed to coincide with the disappointed appearance when he drove Yan Ruiqian out of the house in the previous life, she suddenly came back to her senses, she didn't know how she suddenly remembered that picture, but she was sure that Yan Xiu must have been very disappointed when he drove Yan Ruiqian out of the house in the previous life, just because Yan Ruiqian enlarged the maid's belly on the eve of marriage, in Yan Xiu's opinion, this is unforgivable, his son must not be so without self-control, and then Yan Ruiqian was kicked out of the house, and the younger brother-in-law who had been engaged came forward to withdraw from the family, I heard that the younger brother and daughter-in-law could only marry far away from Beijing, and since then the two families have been at odds, Yan Xiu has taken responsibility for this matter.

The heart that had been hard suddenly felt a little soft, but Yan Zhaohua immediately put away the soft heart and said to Yan Xiu:

"Will the title of county lord lower your reward?"

Yan Xiu looked up at Fang Liang, as if he was thinking, and said to Yan Zhaohua after a while: "It will not be lowered, because the emperor will not continue to give me real power in a short period of time, promote the Hou Mansion to the first class, and make a daughter the county lord, this is the merit I have earned in the past two years, and if the reward is a little more, I will be in danger." ”

Yan Zhaohua understood Yan Xiu's words, after all, Yan Xiu received the military power in his hand, after this reward, the military power will be withdrawn, just some rewards on the table, the emperor is still very generous, add the title to Changning Houfu, and give Yan Xiu's daughter a title, these are just things that the emperor can decide with a wave of his hand, but the military power and the real power are different, and who is assigned to them must be deeply considered.

"Okay, you don't understand this to tell you, I've prepared all the things for my younger brothers and sisters, you can bring them over and share them later, and I will go to the palace for a banquet in the evening, and I won't come back to eat."

After Yan Xiu finished saying this, he pointed to a small pile of things on the table, which were several divided boxes, with corresponding names and distributions written on the outside of the boxes, Yan Zhaohua let Dye Xiang and Qingzhu come in and hold them, and then left from Yan Xiu's study.

Yan Zhaoning lost her temper in the yard, except for the two little maids who were waiting for her, everyone in her yard was replaced with a new one, and there was no one who wanted to find someone to inquire for her.

Just now she wanted the mother-in-law at the door to help her explore what Yan Xiu's study and Yan Zhaohua's Qingque Ju were doing, but the mother-in-law not only didn't do it, but actually said that the housekeeper made it clear that the houses were not allowed to inquire about the news of the various hospitals, where would Yan Zhaoning not be angry, this mother-in-law has no eyesight, and it doesn't matter if she compares her with a mere manager, which onion is this director? In the past, when Zhang Ping was the chief administrator, who in the house was not sent by her? Not to mention listening to some things, even if there are many people doing other things, how can Yan Zhaoning not feel that there is a gap, the most important thing is that her courtyard has been cleaned, and all the people left by the Xie family in the past are gone, replaced by fresh faces that have never been seen before.

Yan Zhaoning was not happy, but she was angry in the room for so long, and only two little girls came in to comfort her, and the slaves and maids outside had no one to pay attention to her, so she couldn't help but go outside and say:

"You dogs, even if my wife is gone, but I am still the young lady of the Yan family, if you treat me like this, I will definitely tell my father one by one, and then let him drive you all away! Get rid of them all! ”

As soon as Yan Zhaohua walked outside Yan Zhaoning's courtyard, he heard her say this, and went in and replied directly:

"What did they do to you?"

Yan Zhaoning was startled when he saw Yan Zhaohua walking out from behind a flowery begonia tree, and he was even more disgusted with these servants who were waiting, and he didn't even come in to tell her a word when Yan Zhaohua came over.

The mother-in-law, who was originally kneeling on the ground, saw Yan Zhaohua, so she turned her knees and kowtowed to Yan Zhaohua, and said: "Eldest Miss, the third lady asked the slave maid to inquire about the affairs in the Hou Ye's study and the eldest lady's yard, but the head of the weir explicitly said that it is forbidden for the servants and maids to teach gossip in private, and the slaves and maids just obey the order, and there is no disrespect for the third miss." ”

After Yan Zhaohua heard this, he raised his hand to the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law stood up and retreated in small steps.

"This is a gift from my father, and he will go to the palace for a banquet later, so I will send you all things."

Yan Zhaoning glanced at the things in Dye Xiang's hand, it was a bead the size of a fingernail, each one was about the same size, it should be quite valuable when it looked at it, Yan Zhaoning grabbed a handful and looked at it in his hand, and then stared at Yan Zhaohua suspiciously, and said:

"What did Daddy give you? It must be worth more than that, right? ”

Yan Zhaohua replied with a smile: "It's just a set of glass rabbits, not as valuable as you." ”

This sentence is not a lie, glass products are not as valuable as pearls, not to mention, it is still such a bead of the same size, and it looks like thousands of taels on the market.

Yan Zhaohua's truth, but Yan Zhaoning didn't believe it, and decided that what Yan Xiu gave Yan Zhaohua was definitely better than what she was given, Yan Zhaohua was too lazy to explain anything to her, and after sending something, he said to her:

"Uncle Yan's rules are set well, don't always think about finding out the news of the other courtyard in the future, live your own life, and no one will treat you badly."

After this sentence was said, even Yan Zhaohua didn't believe that Yan Zhaoning could do it, let alone Yan Zhaoning himself.
