Chapter 153

Now that April has arrived, the decree of marriage has come down. The prince of Gong is married to the eldest daughter of Changning Houfu and the lord of Zhaohua County.

This marriage decree made most famous families feel a little surprised, because Pei Xuan, who was born with the title of the son, many families wanted to marry their daughters into Prince Gong's mansion, but they were all rejected by Pei Xuan, and most of the reasons given were that they didn't like it, if it was like this for the family, it would be okay, but he just said this to everyone who was interested in him, not at all relaxed, not taking care of the face of the woman's family at all, Prince Gong was gentle and elegant in other aspects, and had a gentle temper, But it is his very firm attitude in this matter, and it is his firm refusal that gradually makes some people who want to find him a son-in-law to rest, because no one knows what this prince likes, if his daughter refuses to him, and leaks the news, not only will the son-in-law not be found, but also let the daughter leave a bad reputation of being rejected.

Therefore, when the rope of marriage came down, the name Yan Zhaohua became known to more people, and everyone was asking, where is this Miss Yan sacred, and how can even the picky Prince Gong get it? This Zhaohua county lord lives in a simple place on weekdays, although she hears her name, but she rarely attends banquets, and will only go to fix a few friends in the house, not like other noble girls, like banquet parties, and everyone's impression of her, is still in Changning waiting for Yan Xiu to return from a great victory, the emperor gave the shade of the children, this Zhaohua county lord is the county lord who was sealed at that time, originally everyone thought that the saint turned the merits of Yan Xiu into the shadow of his children in order to suppress Yan Xiu, but he didn't expect that there would be such a trick, The union of Prince Gong's Mansion and Changning Houfu shows that the direction of the wind in the DPRK will also change.

On the one hand, they said that Prince Gong's Mansion had done a good job of secrecy, and on the other hand, they said that they had not even revealed half a sentence to the closest people.

Anyway, no matter what, the matter of Yan Zhaohua and Pei Xuan was settled.

At the same time as the holy decree came down, the dowry of Prince Gong's Mansion was also sent to Changning Houfu one after another, Prince Gong's Mansion is located in the easternmost head of Zhuque Street, and Changning Houfu was located in Chunxi Lane.

This is the first time that Pei Xuan has been to Changning Houfu in such an upright manner, and when he came, he was always borrowing excuses and opportunities, but today, he is justified. Wearing a blue treasure flower placket, handsome appearance, like a fairy, all the way to the front of Changning Houfu, Yan Xiu personally greeted him outside the house, Pei Xuan got off the horse, came to Yan Xiu, and knelt down without hesitation, the posture seemed to have been practiced a hundred times, Yan Xiu was really afraid that he would open his mouth to call him 'Dad', fortunately, Pei Xuan was still a little sensible, and after kneeling on one knee and saluting, he shouted to Yan Xiu:

"Master Hou."

Yan Xiu helped him up, patted him on the shoulder twice, and invited all the people who came with him into the mansion. The others stayed in the flower hall to drink tea, Yan Xiu took Pei Xuan to the study, Yan Ruiqian and Xie Yuan accompanied, Xie Yuan was fine, Yan Ruiqian was a little embarrassed, after all, he and Pei Xuan had some 'unpleasantness' in the past, but at that time, how did he know that this Pei Xuan was going to be his brother-in-law in the future, if he knew earlier, where would he commit that kind of shaft, he only thought that Pei Xuan and Fan Wenchao just wanted to tease his sister, and their methods were indeed misunderstood, so that Yan Ruiqian had prejudices against them for a long time.

Remembering that he was ignorant at the beginning, Yan Ruiqian lowered his head in shame, and took the initiative to come over with a cup of tea to pay tribute to Pei Xuan:

"Shizi, I used to be ignorant, you have a lot, don't worry about me. My sister will leave it to you from now on. ”

Yan Ruiqian has learned a lot after following Yan Xiu for a while, and his temper is not as straightforward as before, he has heard a lot in his speech, Pei Xuan looked at this quasi-brother-in-law who was bent on repairing, pursed his lips and smiled, elegant and handsome, took the teacup in his hand, took a symbolic sip, and promised: "Don't worry." ”

Yan Ruiqian's nervous mood finally relaxed, and then the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. Yan Xiu is quite satisfied with this prospective son-in-law, except that he feels that he is a little weak, and he doesn't know if he can protect his daughter well in the future.

Yan Zhaohua listened to the words from the maids in the back hall, imagining what he looked like in the front hall, the back hall was full of her good sisters, and after Sister Rou learned the news, she rushed over from Zhang's house yesterday, just to witness with Yan Zhaohua today.

After the holy decree was handed down, Yan Zhaohua's hanging heart finally fell, and Sister Rou couldn't help but joke when she saw her happy:

"I said, how calm and relaxed, it turns out that you are confident, from the saint's decision to give marriage to the current holy decree has been handed down, it will take two or three months to say the least, plus the negotiation with my uncle, it will take three or four months, you are really secret, and you haven't revealed it at all."

Yan Zhaohua was rarely dressed in bright clothes, peach powder reflected her peach-like cheeks, red and fluttering, and she glanced at Sister Rou'er with disgust, and said: "Don't make fun of me, this matter is not my business alone, until today's holy decree, I can't believe that this is true." ”

Sister Rou still remembers that when she got married, she was teased by Yan Zhaohua a lot, and she has been waiting for this opportunity, where are you willing to let it go, anyway, the two of them are used to making trouble, and they have no scruples, so they immediately stretched out their fingers, poked Yan Zhaohua's forehead, and said:

"You can't believe it's true, I can't believe it's true. No wonder I always feel that my cousin doesn't look at you right, but you two are too boring, so serious in front of outsiders, even when I talk to you about my cousin in private, you haven't shown anything to me, and I still worry about you, now that I think about it, I'm really stupid. ”

Yan Zhaohua grabbed Sister Rou's hand, held it in her hand, and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, don't count me down, and in the future, I will ask him to apologize to you in person, this is always okay, right?" ”

Needless to say, the word 'he' in Yan Zhaohua's words naturally refers to the 'cousin' who is being complained about by Sister Rou, Sister Rou saw that Yan Zhaohua's expression was frank, and she didn't have the slightest intention of twisting, so she immediately cooperated and shook her hand:

"But don't, I don't dare to provoke him, I'm going to provoke him, and he'll let me copy the book when I turn around. I'm talking about you, our sisters, you hide it from me like this, we always have to write down this account. ”

Sister Rou said and laughed, she hugged Yan Zhaohua and laughed, Sister Yuan and Zhang Yingying also came to play together, Sister Yuan said with some doubts:

"By the way, sister, do we have to change our words to be called eldest cousin in the future...... Cousin and aunt? ”

Sister Yuan'er said a truthful word, which made the girls in the room quiet, but this silence did not last long, followed by a burst of laughter, which made Sister Rou and Yan Zhaohua a little embarrassed, Yan Zhaohua looked at Sister Rou with bad intentions, nodded and said:

"Hey, isn't what Sister Yuan said true?"

Sister Rou took a sip and said angrily: "What is it, I'm really not ashamed!" What kind of cousin, we have to change our words to call our cousin a big cousin in the future. ”

The atmosphere in the room, because of Sister Rou'er's joke, became more lively, and even Yan Zhaohua, who should have been the most shy, was amused by her words.

The laughter penetrated Yan Zhaohua's heart, and gradually disappeared in her ears, Yan Zhaohua looked at the girls and He Lele's appearance, recalling the poverty of the previous life, at that time, her only wish was not to live like that, like this harvest of a qiē picture, she didn't even dare to think about it, in this life, she got rid of Xie Shi early, as if she had taken the lead in life, and all of them became smooth, this kind of shun lì includes friendship, the emergence of love.

Suddenly, Yan Zhaohua was afraid that this qiē was a dream, she was afraid that she would wake up from this beautiful dream, the more beautiful things were, the more difficult it was for people to give up, and the more people were afraid of losing.

Yan Zhaohua sat on the edge of the bed, watching the girls laugh and make a ball, just as the maids came over to spread the word, saying that a banquet had been prepared in the flower hall and could be seated, Sister Yuan took the lead and led the girls to the flower hall, but Yan Zhaohua did not move, just quietly watched the girls leave the room one by one, Sister Rou was the first to notice that she was wrong, leaned over, grabbed her hand, and asked softly: "What's wrong?" ”

Yan Zhaohua shook his head with a smile, his expression was a little moved, but with obvious loneliness, Sister Rou looked left and right, and waited until all the other girls in the room left, passed through the carved window, and went to the flower hall with laughter, and then asked Yan Zhaohua in a low voice:

"Do you think of Sister Ning?"

Yan Zhaohua raised her eyes and looked at Xie Xinrou, surprised by her sensitivity, and didn't say anything to answer, Sister Rou knew that she had guessed correctly, and said regretfully: "I heard from my mother, Sister Ning is really confused, she actually did this kind of thing, how is she now?" I wanted to go see her yesterday, but she only asked the maid to reply that she was tired, and she didn't even let me see her, they were all sisters, who would have thought that such a thing would happen. ”

Yan Zhaohua replied helplessly: "No one could have imagined that this is her own confusion, no wonder anyone, now she is dragging her illness, she is afraid that my father will be driven out of the house when she is sick, only half of the medicine is drunk, it is useless to persuade anyone, she throws bowls and cups, and her temper is so bad that people can't get close, and my father and I have no choice." ”

Xie Xinrou has heard a little about Yan Zhaoning's recent situation, although there is no clear reason, but most people know that the third lady of the Yan family is sick, but they didn't expect to be so strict. Having said this, Sister Rou was not polite, and asked Yan Zhaohua:

"That'...... That person, what is my uncle's plan? Although I haven't been in the Xie family recently, I heard that the Tan family has been very close to the Xie family recently, and I don't know what I want to do. ”
