In the main room of Yan Chuan, the head of the Yan family, Yan Chuan and He sat on the Luohan bed at this time, and the eldest lady of the Yan family, Zheng, personally served tea to the two elders and sat back in her place. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the closed main room at this time, the principals of the Yan family, Yan Chuan and his wife, Yan Xiangrong and his wife, and Yan Xiangming and his wife were all sitting.

Yan Chuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, resounding the grand scene he saw in Yue Chonglou yesterday, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he thought of his granddaughter's actions yesterday, and smiled, "Hua Niang is getting more and more naughty, and she is quite similar to Ah He's temperament." ”

Hearing her husband mention her daughter who died young, He's face showed sadness, her daughter's early death was the pain of her life, and for a mother, there was nothing more uncomfortable than the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.

Yan Xiangrong, the eldest man of the Yan family, also flashed a touch of nostalgia in his eyes, and his words were gratifying: "Hua Niang not only looks like Ah He, but even her appearance is becoming more and more similar to Ah He, but Hua Niang looks more charming than Ah He." ”

When He heard his eldest son say this, he asked anxiously, "Have you gone to see Hua Niang?" When, is she doing well during this time? ”

Yan Xiangrong looked at his mother ashamedly, and said in a deep voice: "When the Shu family came to Yuezhonglou yesterday, I went out and hid it to the side. Ah Niang, when Dali came to our house yesterday, didn't she say that Hua Niang had a good time in the Shu family these days. ”

He patted his thigh hatefully, "Oh, my grandfather's family didn't dare to look at my grandson!" ”

Yan Chuan stretched out his hand and patted the old woman's hand comfortingly, "The old woman doesn't need to worry, Brother Xuan has begun to enter the official career now, just wait for him to gain a firm foothold, and we won't have to be so sneaky when we see their brothers and sisters in the future." ”

Shu Xiuhe's stepfamily, the power of his mother's family is not small, in order to keep Shu Hongxuan's brothers and sisters from disagreeing with Mei's family, they almost don't take the initiative to go to the Shu family to find them, and they can't see each other twice a year.

Yan Chuan turned his head to look at his eldest son, and said seriously: "Boss, secretly send Brother Xuan 30,000 taels of silver over, and tell him that if it's not enough, just come and ask us." ”

Yan Xiangrong responded in one bite without hesitation: "Dad, I have prepared 50,000 taels of silver tickets, thinking of finding an opportunity for Brother Xuan in a few days." ”

Yan Chuan was very relieved, the eldest son was the one who was going to take over his class, and if he, the future head of the family, had an opinion on Brother Xuan's brothers and sisters, it would be against his original intention.

Now when he heard that the eldest son had not only thought of these things one step ahead of him, but had prepared more silver taels than his, he was very satisfied.

"Brother Xuan is about to enter the official career now, and he has to be dotted everywhere in the officialdom, and the little bit that the Shu family gave him, I'm afraid he can't even afford a decent gift."

Yan Chuan looked at his eldest son, and at the same time explained to his eldest daughter-in-law and second son, "We are Brother Xuan'er's maternal grandfather's family, and Ahe is the little sister you have loved since childhood, she is now gone, if Brother Xuan and Hua Niang can't even rely on us, their brothers and sisters don't know how difficult it will be." ”

Yan Xiangming smiled heartily, "Daddy, don't worry, we are not shallow-eyed people, we all understand what you said, we treat Brother Xuan'er and his brothers and sisters as parents and children, and if there is Lekang theirs, there will also be their brothers and sisters." ”

Lekang is Yan Xiangming's eldest son, the third in the Yan family, sixteen this year, one year older than Shu Hongxuan.

The second lady Zhu hesitated for a moment, but still tentatively spoke: "Daddy, you said, how about we hire Hua Niang back?" ”

Her two sons are the same age as Hua Niang, the eldest son Le Kang is four years older than Hua Niang, and the younger son Le Xing is two years older than Hua Niang.

Yan Chuan's face sank, and he scolded angrily: "Confused! Second, you explain it to your daughter-in-law. ”

It's not good to be a father-in-law and directly reprimand your daughter-in-law, teach your wife this kind of thing, just leave it to your son.

Zhu shrunk his neck and snorted, "It's not like our family doesn't have a girl." ”

If there is a girl, you can marry Brother Xuan'er, and now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Brother Xuan'er's future is bright, they have known for a long time that relying on Brother Xuan'er's senior brothers, as long as he steps into the officialdom, there will be someone to escort him, and now he doesn't have to wait for his senior brothers, His Majesty already values him.

If you want to maintain a closer relationship with Brother Xuan, the only way to get married, otherwise when Brother Xuan gets married and has children and has his own small family, how can he take care of his own foreign family?

Hearing Zhu's muttering, even the always steady Zheng family rolled his eyes, and wanted the girl in the family to marry Brother Xuan, thinking too beautifully, if he really married, Brother Xuan would become the laughing stock of the powerful circle.

Yan Xiangrong sighed helplessly, and explained to his daughter-in-law carefully: "Ah Zhu, what is the identity of our family, a low-end businessman, even a craftsman can't compare, what is the identity of the Shu family, a marquis of super quality!"

Unless the Shu family doesn't have a Danqing iron roll, our family will never think of hiring Hua Niang's family, and Shu Xiuhe will never let people say that he sells his daughter for money. Little sister, that's a special case, who knows what Shu Xiuhe thought at that time! ”

Zhu was a little anxious: "If we can't marry Brother Xuan's brothers and sisters, as time goes by, our family's relationship with them will fade." ”

She doesn't have to ask her son to marry Hua Niang, but now that Brother Xuan has a future, if she can't maintain the relationship in the future, it will be the biggest loss for their family!

Yan Chuan knew that the second daughter-in-law was also for the good of the family, and the anger on his face dissipated, but he smiled like a good fox: "I got some news that Brother Xuan can be liked by His Majesty because his policy questionnaire is very well written, and even the six ministers unanimously think so." ”

"'Open trade routes, impose heavy taxes, and allow merchants to have the qualifications for the imperial examination', this is one of the items mentioned in Brother Xuan's paper."

Yan Chuan put down a heavy bomb, which blew up Yan Xiangming, who had always been very steady, and stood up in shock, and even the chair sitting behind him fell to the ground.

He looked at his father with glowing eyes, and asked in a trembling voice, "Daddy, is this news accurate?" ”

Yan Chuan pretended to be displeased and glared at his eldest son: "Daddy's sources are much more powerful than yours. ”

Yan Xiangming's eyes flashed with a gleam, suppressed his excitement, and muttered in a low voice: "Brother Xuan... Haha, Brother Xuan... Sure enough, it is worthy of the seed of our Yan family! Good! That's great! ”

Since the previous dynasty, the status of the merchants was very low, and the peasants with only one thatched house were much more noble than the merchants with real money.

Why? Because they are good citizens, their children can be eligible to participate in the imperial examination!

As long as His Majesty adopts Brother Xuan's proposal, their merchants will usher in a new great development!

Opening a trade route means that to support their merchants, even if they have to pay heavy taxes, it is better than exploiting them now, and the most important thing is not these two points, but the qualification to participate in the imperial examination!

Why is their Yan family trembling all the time, because as long as they accidentally provoke the official family, they will shed their skin if they don't die!

As long as their family can produce a few scholars in the future, as long as their children can enter the official career, as long as they develop for two or three generations, the foundation of their Yan family will definitely be much stronger than now, and it is no longer a luxury to extend the family business for a hundred years.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiangrong said to his wife very solemnly: "Ah Zheng, Lezhi is already twenty years old, you go and hire him a sensible, knowledgeable, not jealous, not shallow, it is best to come back from the house of a girl who has read a book, as long as it is not a person from the priest's shop, I will admit it." ”

Zheng also thought of the key to it, and said solemnly: "I have been looking for it these days. ”

Originally, she wanted to hire her niece for her eldest son, but now the grave woman must not have a conflict with Brother Xuan's brothers and sisters, otherwise it will ruin the entire Yan family, the niece's eyelids are not shallow, but she is not very literate, and she can only understand the account book, which is better for her grandson to find a mother who has read.

There are no stupid people in the Yan family, even the Zhu family has figured out the key, and she began to think in her heart about hiring such a daughter-in-law for her son, if the old man dies, the second room will be separated after all to live, as long as there is a child in their family who can enter Brother Xuan's eyes, it is enough.

Yan Chuan said happily: "Le Zhi and they are not reading materials, it doesn't matter, as long as their son has the talent to read, I will let out this old face, and Brother Xuan will also accept them as disciples."

As long as Brother Xuan can accept the children of our Yan family, with Brother Xuan's temperament, he will definitely treat him like a parent, Brother Xuan will take him to teach by his side, and he will also have an intimate relationship with Brother Xuan's own children.

Now we old guys are still there, and Brother Xuan is also kind to our family, but there will always be a time when we will pass away, and the family will still rely on the next generation in the future. With Brother Xuan'er's current momentum, he may not be able to enter the cabinet in the future, and with his escort, our Yan family's century-old foundation can be expected! ”

As long as Brother Xuan accepts their children as disciples, they will take care of the fourth generation of the Yan family, and when they grow up and step into the official career, Brother Xuan will also teach carefully, and the fourth generation of the Yan family is close to Brother Xuan'er's own children, and when Brother Xuan gets old, Brother Xuan'er's children will also take care of the Yan family, just in this way, Brother Xuan can take care of the Yan family for at least three generations!

Yan Chuan sighed in his heart, Ahe, you gave birth to a good son, but it's a pity that you don't have the blessing to share.

Zheng Yao thought about the future of the Yan family, and his heart shook, and he remembered one thing, took out a gilded post from the wooden box beside him, and handed it to his husband.

Yan Xiangrong opened it, raised his eyebrows slightly, and handed it to his father, "Daddy, are we going to our house?" ”

The post was sent by the Shu family today, and the Yan family was invited to the banquet two days later, and the Shu family held a grand banquet for Shu Hongxuan, inviting many powerful people.

In the past, this kind of banquet, the Shu family would send posts to the Yan family according to the custom, but because the Yan family could not integrate into the circle of the powerful, the Zheng family and the Zhu family were also teased for going to the banquet, and after a few times, the Yan family did not go to the banquet held by the Shu family.

Yan Chuan looked strange, "Why don't you go, this is a banquet for my grandson, why can't we go as his own grandfather?" Ha, he also said that he would be able to meet Brother Xuan and them openly in the future, no, the opportunity came. That's great! ”

Their Yan family is Brother Xuan'er's maternal grandfather, as long as Brother Xuan does not dislike their family, the Mei family's threat to the Yan family will no longer be as great as before.
