Chapter 163
Yan Zhaohua handed over the things in the yard to Yan Bo to get them, came in to report to Yan Xiu, glanced at the tea on the table, the color was light green, and the tea soup brewed out was yellow, seeing that Yan Xiu and Wang Fuquan were talking, he didn't bother, stood behind Yan Xiu, and waited for them to finish speaking.
"My father-in-law has been away from home for many years, and his homesickness must be deep, but have you ever wanted to go back and see?"
Yan Xiu asked Wang Fuquan, Wang Fuquan was slightly stunned, and then replied: "Oh, the old father and mother in the family have long passed away, and the uncle and aunt who once raised me have also passed away. ”
Yan Zhaohua was already looking at the white tea on the table, and listening to Wang Fuquan say these words, some kind of broken clue in his mind suddenly seemed to be able to connect a little, raised his eyes and looked at Wang Fuquan, his temples were a little gray, he was about fifty years old, the physiological characteristics of eunuchs, and his face was white, even at his current age, he could see that he was born well when he was young, but because Gong Ruquan was born like Aunt Gong, he couldn't see the resemblance on the surface, not to mention anything else, just his surname was Wang, and he was about the same age as Gong, plus he was born in Anji, Zhejiang, this series of coincidences makes it difficult for Yan Zhaohua not to doubt it.
But based on these three points alone, can it be determined that Wang Fuquan is the man who hooked up with the Gong family back then?
No, maybe this qiē is just a coincidence.
Wang Fuquan was stunned again when he saw Yan Zhaohua staring at him, and then said to Yan Zhaohua: "Oh, our family hasn't congratulated the county lord Zhaohua yet, what was sent today is the third lady's share, and you have to wait for another month or two." ”
Yan Zhaohua also knew that he had lost his temper, but fortunately Wang Fuquan did not doubt it, and followed his words and said:
"Thank you, princess, for your troubles for my business."
Wang Fuquan hurriedly waved his hand and said humbly: "Ouch, where did the county lord say, he can do things for the county lord, but it is a blessing for our family." ”
No longer speaking, Yan Zhaohua smiled shyly and lowered his head, Yan Xiu and Wang Fuquan talked for a while, and Uncle Yan accepted everything, and then came in to resume his life.
The handover of things is complete, Wang Fuquan should also leave, Yan Xiu asked Wang Fuquan to wrap a first-class red envelope, and wrapped the jars of white tea and sent them to Wang Fuquan's sedan chair, which sent a group of people in the palace.
Yan Xiu glanced back at Yan Zhaohua and asked, "What's wrong with you today?" Absent-minded. ”
Yan Zhaohua didn't know how to tell Yan Xiu, shook his head slightly, and said, "Maybe I'm a little tired." ”
Yan Xiu looked at her with concern: "You've worked hard these days." The following things will be handled by Yan Bo, so you can go back and rest for a while. ”
"Yes, then I'll go back to my room first."
After Yan Zhaohua said goodbye to Yan Xiu, he still turned around thoughtfully, Yan Xiu also saw that there was something wrong, but his daughter was reluctant to say, and he was not easy to force, anyway, no matter what the eldest daughter did, she was measured, so he didn't have to worry too much.
Yan Zhaohua returned to the room and prepared to rest, but she couldn't sleep when she tossed and turned on the soft couch, looking at the window where Pei Xuan often came and went, there was no moment like now, hoping that Pei Xuan would appear, but she knew that this was impossible, no matter how good Pei Xuan was, she would not break into the mansion to see her in broad daylight.
However, about Wang Fuquan, Yan Zhaohua really wanted to tell Pei Xuan as soon as possible, if she went out of the house to find Pei Xuan, it was not impossible, but it would be very big like that, and she might not be able to startle the snake, so she had to think of a way to not alarm anyone and pass the news to Pei Xuan......
Yan Zhaohua had a flash of inspiration in his mind, lifted the thin felt and sat up, walked to the small study, lay on the bookcase and thought about it, and then carefully wrote down the three words 'Wang Fuquan', folded the note, put it in the sleeve pocket, and then went to the dresser, after tidying up, he opened the door and went out, dyed incense and embroidered the soles of his shoes under the porch, and when he saw Yan Zhaohua come out, he put down the things in his hand, and came forward to ask: "Miss, what's wrong?" Is it where to go? ”
Yan Zhaohua looked at her, put his hands into his sleeves, and said lightly:
"My mind was a little messy, I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk in the garden."
Dye Xiang nodded, took a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and Yan Zhaohua raised her hand: "You continue to embroider, I'll walk around the garden, I'll call you if there's something." ”
After saying this, Yan Zhaohua walked out of the Qingque Residence with a heavy heart and walked towards the garden.
The garden of the Yan family is divided into the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard is where the female dependents are, the general guards will not come in, they will only patrol the outer courtyard, Yan Zhaohua turned around in the inner courtyard, and came to the door of the outer courtyard, two guards dressed in black stood upright, after Yan Zhaohua walked over, the two of them did not squint, Yan Zhaohua looked left and right, and said to one of them:
"Can you send me a message to Pei Xuan?"
The guard on the left looked at the one on the right, and then nodded: "Yes, the prince said that he will listen to the orders of the eldest lady." ”
Yan Zhaohua handed him the note in his sleeve pocket, and after the man accepted it, Yan Zhaohua told him uneasily:
"Quietly, don't let anyone see it."
"Yes."
After explaining this matter, Yan Zhaohua returned to the inner courtyard garden, and he still didn't know the bottom in his heart, because he had never tried this method, and he didn't know if he could send it to Pei Xuan, as long as it was delivered, even if Pei Xuan didn't understand the meaning of the note, as long as he knew that the note was sent by her, he would definitely come to her at night or when it was convenient. In order not to be violent and exposed, Yan Zhaohua only dared to write a name on the note, even if it could not be sent to Pei Xuan, it would not cause any turmoil.
After sending the letter away, Yan Zhaohua had been looking forward to Pei Xuan's arrival, but after waiting for two days, Pei Xuan did not come, which made Yan Zhaohua wonder if the note had not been delivered to Pei Xuan, and she was suffering from gains and losses, but the Xie family sent someone to invite her to the house.
It turned out that the Liu family and the Gu family had discussed the addition of boxes to Yan Zhaohua, and on the basis of the original, the Liu family added ten more shops and several orchards in Wanping and Daxing; Gu's words, all the money given is gold and silver, and Gu's is also generous, she likes gold and silver, and directly gave Yan Zhaohua five hundred taels of gold as a gift.
Yan Zhaohua felt that the gifts given by the Liu family and the Gu family were too heavy, Yan Zhaoning was there, she remembered that the Liu family only had twenty cattle and sheep, and a pair of white deer, and the Gu family seemed to be two sets of heads, but these that could be given to Yan Zhaohua, if they were all exchanged for silver, the value would be more than a hundred times that of Yan Zhaoning's share. With such an obvious bias, Yan Zhaohua was a little worried that the Liu family and the Gu family would be manipulated and gossiped in the future.
Liu's final word: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, I have discussed things with your aunt, according to the regulations of your county lord, a little richer, this is me and your aunt love you, what can the people next to me say?" Don't worry about that, we're not going to do anything out of proportion. ”
Gu Shi answered: "That's right, you kid, at a young age, think about more things than us, to be honest, my aunt only has such a big ability, if the ability is bigger, I want to give you more, you saved the life of the third brother, if you hadn't discovered the poison earlier, my third brother would only be afraid of ......"
Yan Zhaohua saw that Gu was quite touched, stepped forward to hold hands, Gu patted the back of Yan Zhaohua's hand, and said, "So, good boy, you have to accept these boxes no matter what." You have to think about it, in the future, I will not only be your aunt, you will marry my cousin's family, let's kiss each other, you will be my daughter, and Sister Rou will be the same. Sister Rou'er's box, I also gave out five hundred taels of gold, and Sister Yuan will also be this number in the future, you can accept it, don't shirk. ”
"But ......" Yan Zhaohua knew that the Liu family and the Gu family were going to add boxes to her, but she didn't expect that there would be so many, and she couldn't react for a while, but the Liu family and the Gu family insisted, so she could only accept it, thinking to herself that when Sister Yuan got married, she must give more gifts to the sisters.
Coming out of Qingcang Courtyard, Yan Zhaohua called Sister Yuan to play in the garden by the lake, this garden in the middle of the lake is relatively partial, but the scenery is very good, surrounded by the lake, leaving only a nine-curved corridor winding out, in addition to Xie Xinyuan, Xie Xinyue, Yan Zhaoning, Yan Zhaoning was given marriage, Yan Xiu had no reason to ground her, so she regained her former freedom.
Seeing Yan Zhaohua coming, Yan Zhaoning hooked his lips and asked:
"My grandmother and aunt are calling my sister to add boxes, right? How about it, what good things did my grandmother leave for my sister? ”
Since then, Yan Zhaoning has been talking to Yan Zhaohua with a gun and a stick, Yan Zhaohua didn't bother to pay attention to her, and only turned his head to Sister Yuan and asked, "Sister Rou'er has come back these days?" When she is in Zhang's house, we will go over to see her, and we will always let her entertain us for a meal. ”
Xie Xinyuan heard Zhaohua talk about Xie Xinrou, his eyes lit up, and he said:
"Dare to be kind, I want to go several times, but my mother just won't let me, saying that my sister is a new relative or something, I want to kill her."
Sister Yuan had the best relationship with Sister Rou in the past, and after Sister Rou got married, she naturally felt lonely or something in the house.
Yan Zhaohua ignored Yan Zhaoning, Yan Zhaoning glanced at her, and sat next to her to watch the fish in the lake, not participating in their topic, Yan Zhaohua said to Sister Yuan: "You are also stupid, why do you have to go to play with your sister?" Can't you say that you are looking for Yingying? When you arrive at Zhang's house, are you afraid that you won't be able to see your sister? ”
Sister Yuan and Yan Zhaohua exchanged glances, and Sister Yuan laughed: "Sure enough, the eldest cousin is smart, why didn't I think of it." ”
Xie Xinyue followed and said: "In the past, you followed the eldest sister, the eldest sister got married, you have no one to follow, and you don't use your brain, of course you can't think of it." ”
Xie Xinyuan was not convinced, and chased Xie Xinyue to play theories, the two little girls were running and jumping, very happy, Yan Zhaohua didn't mess with them, turned around, poured a cup of tea, and was about to drink it, when he heard Sister Yuan shouting: "Oops! What are you doing? ”
Yan Zhaohua turned around with the teacup to see what was going on, and saw that Sister Yue was knocked to the ground, her elbow seemed to hit the ground, and her eyes were red in pain.
