When the tether entered the Yan family, he quietly looked at the Yan family's furnishings.

It was completely different from what he imagined, he originally thought that the family of a small official in the countryside was extremely luxurious, not to mention the Hou Mansion in the capital, it must be like the Heavenly Palace, maybe the plates and bowls were made of gold and silver, but the Hou Mansion in front of him was completely different.

The house is only blue bricks and gray tiles, and the walls are also green bricks and white powder.

The courtyard is mostly covered with stout trees and some flowers and plants that are not very common, and there are large fish tanks on the side of the road, and in addition to raising various kinds of fish, there are also water lilies.

The layout of the room is also very simple, the style of the tables and chairs is simple, the polishing is very smooth, when the hand touches it, it is like touching the jade, and the tea cup used is also a white porcelain tea cup.

There are also white porcelain blue and white celestial globe vases with hydrangea-like flowers, there is no incense in the house, but there is a faint fragrance in the room, like flowers, like fruit.

Lianzi was very puzzled in his heart, and when Li Luan'er left for dinner, he and Chen Yi went out of the house, thinking about what the girl said about the grandmother of the Xu family coming to visit, Lianzi thought about whether it was not the right time for him to come, so he told Chen Yi about his concerns.

Chen Yi smiled: "Cousin, just put your heart in your stomach, you are my mother's nephew, and his grandmother is not as important as you, besides, what is the grandmother of the Xu family, but she is a broken household in the autumn wind." ”

I don't understand when I see the tether. Chen Yi thought that he was going to stay in Beijing for a few years, and he was afraid that he would not understand the interpersonal relationship of his own family in Beijing, and it would be bad if he was deceived, so he patiently said to him: "That grandmother of the Xu family was originally my aunt's sister-in-law, she was at odds with my aunt when she was in the boudoir, and often bullied my aunt and aunt. She married the uncle of the Xu family. It's just that her life is not good, and the uncle of the Xu family went a few years after she got married, and she was extremely unhappy in the Xu family, but fortunately, my aunt was kind-hearted. I often take care of her. That's just now. ”

"That's exactly what happened." The tether was taken aback: "My aunt is really kind." ”

Because the tether is Li Luan'er's mother's family. It is also appropriate to call his aunt with Chen Yi, and Chen Yi only smiled when he heard it: "I don't know what to do today, and I can't cry with my mother and beg for money." Her girl is like a year, she has to dress well, she has to wear jewelry, it's all money. ”

When Lianzi heard this, he knew that Chen Yi was complaining, so he didn't say much, but kept the Xu family in mind, knowing that the relationship with the Yan family was not good, and he didn't have to pay attention to it in the future.

Chen Yi saw that he understood, so he said to him again: "Our family has an excellent relationship with several families in the capital, and if my cousin can be intimate with the people of their family, it will be more affectionate, which is a good family." ”

Lianzi nodded and asked him for advice, Chen Yi smiled and said: "The first one is the Pei family, the third mother of the Pei family is married to Uncle Li Fu, and our family is in-law, and there are Shi family and Qi family...... This is also all in-laws, and then the Gu family, his uncle and aunt and uncle and mother are all very good, and the Gu family's aunt and wife are married to the criminal family, which can be regarded as relatives and friends, and then the Gao family, the Wang family, and the Wu family......"

Tie Zi listened to Chen Yi tell him a little bit, he has always had a good memory, so he kept these relationships in mind.

When the two of them arrived in the back garden, they saw the green bamboo pole first, and after the bamboo forest, it was a sea of flowers, and there was a pond and bamboo pavilion flowing water, but it was also a very quiet place.

The two of them entered the pavilion to talk, and asked Chen Yi what books he had read, what he had learned now, and said the books he had read, Chen Yi smiled and talked with him about poetry and lyrics, and talked about the collection of books in the Yan family's study.

The tether is naturally happy to have more knowledge, so he agreed.

While he was talking here, he saw Yan Chenyun come in with a golden abacus in one hand, put the abacus on the stone table, and wiped his sweat: "I'm really tired." ”

The leash was a little puzzled, handed over a handkerchief and said, "Cousin, wipe your sweat and rest, it's hot today, where have you been?" ”

Chen Yun knew that someone from his hometown came today, and when he saw the tether, he knew that it was his cousin, and said that his cousin had seen the ceremony, so he said: "I didn't go anywhere, just settled the accounts in my small warehouse. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he asked Chen Yi to slap him: "Get out of here, do you talk like that." ”

Chen Yun smiled, and said to the tether: "I can't help my cousin next to me, if I can give you some pointers when it comes to trading, if my cousin wants to buy a Zhuangzi shop, look for me, and save you a lot of silver." ”

Although he didn't understand why, he thanked him.

Chen Yi smiled: "You ignore him, he is my family's broken household, the most into the eyes of money, full of copper smell, you talk to him next to him listless, as long as you talk about profitable business, he can talk to you for three days and three nights, in front of him, Moti gold and silver." ”

The leash replied with a smile, and Chen Yuan and Chen Xun came to meet their cousins, and the cousins sat in one place and talked, and after a while, the tether talked to Chen Yuan, and the two talked about going up to the tree to dig out the bird's nest, making traps to catch pheasants and hares, etc., which were very interesting, and they were in full swing for a while.

When a girl came to invite them to dinner, it was already noon.

The five of them went to the main room together, and saw a large table set up in the main hall, and the table was full of good tables.

Chen Yuan smiled immediately when he saw it, pulled the leash and said: "You still have face, you got these good dishes as soon as you came to your mother, we can't eat them on weekdays, but today it is your light." ”

The tether was stunned in one sentence: "Doesn't your family eat like this on weekdays?" What do you eat on weekdays, I thought you might eat dozens of dishes a day. ”

Yan Chenyuan waved his hand: "What are you thinking nonsense, how can there be such a thing, how many of us are there, and we can eat so much." Not to mention our family, even now the queen mother and the official family in the palace are thrifty, and the official family's lunch is only four or five dishes with meat and vegetarian. ”

Lianzi only felt that he was a little embarrassed that he had shallow knowledge, Chen Yuan leaned in front of him and said: "Living for a long time, who has those spare money to step on, others tell you that whose family eats dozens of dishes a day in rotation is talking about nouveau riche, most people are not like that." ”

Lianzi nodded to indicate that he knew, and after a while, he saw Li Luan'er and Yan Chengyue coming in.

Lianzi was very surprised to see Yan Chengyue, and he also saw a few extraordinary-looking people along the way. Only after seeing Yan Chengyue did I know what a celestial man was. What does it mean to be handsome, stunned for a while, and hurried over to see the salute.

Li Luan'er smiled and told him to get up, and sat down with Yan Chengyue. Tatsuyila sat down. The people next to them took their seats in turn.

The people of the Yan family are very polite. There weren't many words at the dinner table, and the movements were beautiful when I started eating, but the speed was not slow at all. I didn't have much time to eat lunch, and then I moved to the small hall next to me and sat down to talk.

Li Luan'er asked about some of the habits of the tether, and said: "Now that you are in the capital, you are my nephew, I can't say that there will be someone who can't open your eyes to provoke you. ”

The leash quickly got up and respectfully agreed, and listened to Yan Chengyue again: "The academy has been found, take you to school in a few days, the head of the academy and I are friends, I have asked him, I want to come to your time in the academy will not be sad, only we are here to study, not to enjoy the blessings, the days are harder, you are not bitter, you have to study carefully, if you don't understand, please ask Mr., if there is anything difficult to come to the house, after all, you will not make you a villain embarrassed." ”

"Thank you, aunt and uncle." Lianzi replied with a smile, and was about to leave Li Lianshu's house.

Seeing this, Li Luan'er was afraid that it would be difficult to find it when he returned to Beijing with his head, so he asked the Chenyi brothers to go with him.

After getting into the carriage of the Yan family, the leash asked Chen Yuan: "At lunch today, I saw that my aunt's face was not very good, and she seemed to be very angry, and the visiting grandmother Xu was also gone, what happened?" ”

When Chen Yuan heard this, he immediately lowered his voice and said: "But isn't it, my mother is really unhappy today, but it's not because of you, it's all because of that Grandma Xu, because of the Xu family, not to mention my mother, even my father is a little angry, I just tell you, don't tell others." ”

Chen Yuan said in his mouth that he only told you that he didn't tell others, but he didn't understand the secret when only one person knew it, and when it entered the ears of the second person, it could be spread to the whole world, but he did say it on purpose.

Seeing the tether nodding Ying Chengchen said: "Didn't the grandmother Xu bring her eldest girl to visit before, the original aunt was not in the capital these years, and they were all entrusted to their mothers to help take care of their orphans and widows, this grandmother Xu in order to live better in the Xu family, but also to fight for more things for her eldest girl, she has been pretending to be a tiger, only saying that she has a very good relationship with her aunt and sisters, and that she is also very close to her mother, and from time to time she comes to visit, it is nothing, only today......"

Speaking of this, Yan Chenyuan sighed: "Some people are like this, with silver and gold, they want gold, and if they have gold, they are always too greedy, and the Xu family is also like this, seeing that grandpa and father are back in the court, and this time the official family is reused by those adults who have a good relationship with our family, so they want to ask their father to promote the second master of his family, so they immediately forced Grandma Xu to come over and beg for help." ”

"Then my aunt agreed?" But he didn't want to have such a thing, so he asked immediately.

Yan Chenyuan shook his head: "Where do you dare to admit it, this is a major event in the government and politics, my mother will not interfere, don't look at my mother's strength, but my mother knows it in her heart, what should be taken care of and what should not be managed, but I will not stretch my hand too long for a grandmother Xu who has a bad relationship." ”

"Yes." Lianzi agreed with this: "The shape of the middle of the court is changing rapidly, and now it is better to see more and do less." ”

Chen Yuan smiled when he said this: "You little kid still know this." ”

The leash immediately blushed: "What a little brat, I'm still your cousin." ”

"Yes, cousin, cousin." Chen Yuan covered his mouth with a smile, and laughed for a while before saying: "It's just that this grandmother is too much, she actually knelt on the ground and didn't get up, only said that if her mother didn't agree to her and the eldest girl to go back, I was afraid that the situation would be even worse, and I begged my mother to help them for the sake of their orphans and widows."
