541 Talking about the matchmaker
A man's dream is to be a marquis and worship the prime minister. Now that An Zhichen has been named an earl for his military exploits, it is naturally a great joy, and this banquet must be indispensable.
The list of treats was drawn up by the chief housekeeper, An Zhichen added a lot of people, and finally this list came to Yue Yao's hands.
Yue Yao looked at the list of treats and frowned. In the evening, he said to An Zhichen: "Master, I don't plan to invite people from the Lin family. ”
An Zhichen was a little surprised: "Why? "If you don't post for such a big happy event, it is tantamount to breaking off relations with people. An Zhichen doesn't think that Yue Yao is such a disproportionate person, there must be something wrong here.
Yue Yao didn't hide it from An Zhichen, and directly said her thoughts: "I want to wait for Ting Zheng to come back, and let him reconcile with the Lin family." ”
An Zhichen's face suddenly became serious: "This is not a trivial matter, what happened to make you have this idea?" If Tingzheng is reconciled with the Lin family, then the family affair will have to become an enemy, but An Zhichen knows Yueyao's temperament, Yueyao is not the kind of ruthless, if it is just a small holiday, it will definitely not let Yueyao have this idea.
An Zhichen is in the northwest, Yueyao has always reported good news and bad news, and she will not tell An Zhichen about those messy things, so as not to worry An Zhichen.
Yueyao told Lin Qinghan everything he had done, and she didn't add oil or vinegar, she just said it truthfully.
An Zhichen was angry after hearing this: "She took Kexin's dowry and gave it away, and in the end she only gave some money?" He didn't make too many comments on the previous things, but he took advantage of her daughter's dowry and finally took the money to send it away, which An Zhichen absolutely couldn't tolerate.
Yue Yao was a little embarrassed: "I didn't accept the apology given by the Lin family, I sent it back, and I didn't accept the money that the Lin family gave me." ”
An Zhichen looked at Yueyao and asked, "And then?"
Yue Yao snorted, and said with an embarrassed face: "No." ”
An Zhichen didn't know whether to laugh or be angry: "No wonder the Lin family is so arrogant, it's all your connivance." ”
Yue Yao retorted slightly, "How can you blame me for this?" In fact, Xiang Wei also said the same thing about her, but Yueyao didn't think it was her fault, which would make An Zhichen say this again, and Yueyao felt a little unhappy.
An Zhichen said with a straight face: "This is not what you connived at? Let's just say that she slandered you because the maid climbed the bed, and you asked her to drive her back to her parents' house at that time, if you say this, the Lin family must not even dare to speak, but what about you? didn't say anything, just went home and sulked by yourself, and it was your behavior that made Lin kick his nose and face and not take you seriously. ”
Yue Yao was scolded and lowered her head.
An Zhichen sighed slightly, his wife has this temperament, and there is no way to change it if she wants her to change, but fortunately, although Yueyao is soft-hearted, she still acts in a very measured manner: "The people of the Lin family don't invite, and the Lin family can't ask either, if you ask the reason, say it's what I mean." ”
Yue Yao hesitated a little, it doesn't matter if the people of the Lin family are not invited, if even the Lin family is not invited, people who don't know will think that she is going to turn against Ting Zheng.
Seeing this, An Zhichen said helplessly: "Since you have decided to let Tingzheng and the Lin family reconcile, you shouldn't have seen the Lin family and the Lin family that day, and directly turned your face against them. At that time, he turned his face, and then asked Ting Zheng to reconcile with the Lin family, and now the two families are very calm, Yue Yao asked Ting Zheng to reconcile with the Lin family, and then Yue Yao ignored it.
Yueyao was a little sneering, and she also knew that she was too soft-hearted.
An Zhichen remembered that it was not easy for Yueyao, and said at the moment: "It doesn't matter if you can't give birth, taking a concubine and giving birth to a child will also continue the bloodline, but the Lin family is clearly a scourge, leaving this scourge, Tingzheng's life will be over, since you can't be ruthless, then do as I say, and the Lin family will not be allowed to go to my door again in the future." "It's just such a woman who doesn't distinguish between two and five, and she resolutely can't stay.
Yueyao was a little embarrassed, and An Zhichen had to help worry about her mother's affairs.
An Zhichen couldn't cry or laugh: "What a fool, your business is not my business." An Zhichen is still very happy that Yueyao can tell him about this, it can be seen from this incident that Yueyao will not hide from him, she will tell him anything, husband and wife should not hide something, everyone will discuss it together, this is good.
A smile also appeared on Yue Yao's face.
An Zhichen picked up a small box placed on the table and gave it to Yueyao.
Yue Yao opened the box and looked at the silver tickets inside, and was startled: "Where did this come from?" Even if it's loot, it shouldn't be so much.
An Zhichen said with a smile: "You said that there would be a war in the northwest that year, so I partnered with someone to build a few horse farms, and there was a war in the northwest, and these horses were sold at a good price." ”
Yueyao's eyes widened, which was equivalent to saying that raising horses earned more than 200,000 taels: "Just raise horses?" Yueyao boasts that she has a good way to make money, and compared with An Zhichen, she is nothing.
An Zhichen said with a smile: "I earned almost 200,000 yuan from raising horses, and I also have Yulu, Kexin is also older, and she will get married in a few years, and this money is just used to buy a dowry." An Zhichen also knows that Yueyao has a lot of income every year, and the family does not worry about money, but this is his intention as a father.
Yue Yao smiled: "I have seen all the good things I have saved for her in the past few years?" Yueyao didn't worry about the money, but now that she has such a large amount of money, she has more and more money.
An Zhichen suddenly remembered something: "Did Gu You tell Gu Lan about his family?"
Yue Yao shook her head and said, "I'm worried about this!" The few I found for them were not very satisfied. "Looking for someone to take care of or something, Gu You and Gu Lan are not happy.
An Zhichen said with a smile: "Datong has taken a fancy to Gu You, Datong and Akai have been with me for so many years, I am ready to let them out." "Let it go, the future will definitely be good.
Yueyao's eyes lit up: "Cheng, then I'll ask Gu You." Datong looks simple on the outside, but Yue Yao knows that the person who can be reused by An Zhichen is definitely not stupid, Gu You follows him, and he can live the life of a young grandmother in the future.
An Zhichen said: "When the things in the mansion are over, you let Yuehuan see Da Zhuang!" Da Zhuang should be released, and will not stay in the capital, if Yue Yao also likes it, she will pick a day to do it, and let her go to office with Da Zhuang when the time comes. ”
Yueyao thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll let her come over tomorrow, and if she agrees, let them meet in these two days?"
An Zhichen nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
Yueyao was about to sleep, An Zhichen came up and asked softly, "Is it okay?" has been a monk for six years, and I can still bear it when my wife is not around, but now I have to endure it when my wife is by my side, and I really test my eyelid endurance.
Yue Yao hummed softly.
Xiang Wei inquired with Gu You about the situation in the main house on the second day, and heard that she asked for water twice in one night, Xiang Wei was relieved, she had been back for a few days, and it had been quiet and quiet, which made Xiang Wei very worried that An Zhichen was injured and inhumane, and she couldn't blame Xiang Wei for worrying about the sky, but this kind of thing often happened in wars.
Yueyao sent An Zhichen and his two sons out of the house, and turned to Xiang Wei about Yuehuan: "Let you inquire about this Zeng Dazhuang, how are you going?" It's not that Yueyao doesn't believe in An Zhichen, it's just that Yueyao feels that the focus of men and women is different, after all, this is about Yueyao's life, and it is better to be appropriate.
Xiang Wei nodded and said: "The person chosen by the master is not bad, he values love and righteousness, he is self-reliant, he loves her daughter very much, and there is no problem with his character." ”
Yueyao nodded: "In that case, you send someone to invite Yuehuan to come over, and I will tell her about this." ”
Xiang Wei smiled: "Okay, I hope you can move her." ”
Yuehuan knew that Yueyao invited her over and roughly guessed what was going on, so she changed her clothes and followed the maid to Anfu.
Yue Yao saw that Yuehuan had lost a lot of weight, but her complexion was very good, and Yue Yao said with a smile: "You probably know what I invited you here for." ”
Yuehuan nodded and said, "Third sister, did he promise not to take a concubine?" Yuehuan felt that nine times out of ten, a man would not agree to her condition.
Yue Yao shook her head and said, "I didn't tell your brother-in-law that you didn't allow the other party to take a concubine, I just told him your other two conditions." ”
Yuehuan was surprised: "Why?"
The little maid brought tea and snacks, as well as a lot of fruits, Yueyao took a grape and peeled it and put it in her mouth, and only after eating it did she vomit and said, "I don't think your condition is meaningful, so I didn't mention it to your brother-in-law." ”
Yuehuan didn't understand why Yueyao said that.
Yue Yao smiled: "Even if the other party promises not to take a concubine now, can you stop him from taking a concubine when the time comes?" Yueyao thinks that this kind of promise is completely self-deception.
The moon ring choked at once.
Yueyao continued: "Yuehuan, Master Zeng is very self-disciplined, it has been five years since his original partner died, and he has not accepted any women by his side, nor has he been to Qinglou and other places, so it is not difficult for you to make him not to take a concubine, it only depends on your own ability." "Since the other party's character is very good in all aspects, if you want the other party not to take a concubine, you can only rely on Yuehuan's own ability.
Yuehuan asked, "Didn't you ask your brother-in-law to promise not to take a concubine that day?"
Yue Yao shook her head and said: "No, I still say the same thing, whether a man accepts a concubine or not is not only a man's character, but also depends on the wife, if you insist, I can let people ask, but I still say that, this condition has no meaning." ”
Yuehuan lowered her head and thought for a long time.
Xiang Wei said on the side: "Actually, Zeng Dazhuang's candidate is really good, he is only twenty-six years old and has been from the fourth grade, and it is not difficult to rise in the future, the most important thing is that Zeng Dazhuang has only one daughter under his knees, and there is no son, and the daughter will have a dowry in the future." "There is no son, which means that there will be no disputes in the future, which is why An Zhichen came forward, otherwise with Zeng Dazhuang's current situation, it is definitely not difficult to marry a yellow flower girl.
Yueyao said: "You don't have to worry about character, your brother-in-law is still accurate in looking at people, if you want to, you can meet once, if you don't have this idea, forget it." ”
According to Yuehuan's ability, she is reluctant to remarry, but the surname Yu came to the door three times or four times, which made her tired of it, there are three concubines in the family surnamed Yu, and there is a powerful old lady and sister-in-law above, she has no masochistic tendency, how can she look down on such a man, but her cheap dad values this surnamed Yu very much, and has the idea of being a parent.
Yuehuan also thought about leaving the capital, but she also knew that she could live so comfortably in the capital mainly because of Yueyao's protection, if she left the capital and went to another place, she was unfamiliar with the place, and the orphans and widows were easy to be bullied, Yuehuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's meet!"
Yue Yao nodded and said, "Then pick a day to meet, you don't have to think too much, if you don't agree, just say it." She is only responsible for building a bridge for this kind of thing, and she doesn't have to agree to Yuehuan, the days are lived by herself, and the most important thing is to see Yuehuan's own meaning.
Yuehuan listened to this, and her heart relaxed.
Two days later, Yuehuan met with Zeng Dazhuang, and when Zeng Dazhuang saw Yuehuan, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
What is that, it made Yuehuan laugh, although there were Yueyao's words, but Yuehuan still asked what was in his heart: "Lord Zeng, I told my third sister that day, if I remarry the other party, I must agree to two conditions for me, the first is that I want to take my son Chenghong with me, and the second is that the other party is not allowed to take a concubine." As for the first one, the condition of the death of both parents is automatically omitted.
Zeng Dazhuang agreed without thinking about it.
Zeng Dazhuang's attitude was so refreshing that Yuehuan was a little uncertain.
Zeng Dazhuang said with a smile: "When my mother was alive, she often told our brothers that after marrying a daughter-in-law, you must live a good life with your daughter-in-law, and you can't have any fancy intestines. ”
Yuehuan was a little curious as to why Zeng Dazhuang's mother would say these words.
Zeng Dazhuang didn't hide it from Yuehuan, and said: "My grandfather broke up a good family because he took a concubine. Specifically, Zeng Dazhuang didn't say too much detail.
Yuehuan was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry." ”
Zeng Dazhuang said with a smile: "It's not your fault for me, what do you apologize for!" And it's been so many years, my grandmother and my mother are gone, it's all old. ”
From these words, Yuehuan can see that this person has a straight nature, and there will be no twists and turns, and it feels very easy to get along with such a person, in fact, Yuehuan is also a straight person, but in this era, the environment forced her to hide her nature.
Yuehuan has some good feelings for Zeng Dazhuang, but she still has doubts, worried that what she sees is only Zeng Dazhuang's side.
Yue Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry! With me and your brother-in-law, he doesn't dare to bully you. Yueyao's words made it clear that she was a backer for Yuehuan.
Yuehuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Third sister, you let me think again." "Remarriage is a matter of a lifetime, and it can't be decided on this side.
Yue Yao smiled: "Don't worry, you think slowly, and give me an answer in a few days." "Looking at Yuehuan's attitude, there is a chance that this marriage can be successful.
