Situ was afraid that his sister Situ Yan would be wronged after marrying into the Guogong Mansion, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, so he had to invite Duanmu Xuan to talk to Mochiyue Tower.

The two entered the private room and were not busy passing the dishes, "Ziheng, you and my brother have a game, I won't go around in circles with you!" "Situ is the eldest brother of Situ Yan, even if he is like a brother with a different surname with Duanmu Xuan, but after all, there is no blood relationship.

"Zhongxian, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it!" Duanmu Xuan could guess somewhat, since Situ Jin was willing to talk to him, at least he still had hope.

"I've heard a little about your house? If the housekeeper goes to the house, I am afraid that I will only be angry in the future, although I am incompetent, but I don't want to know that the housemate will be angry after entering the house, and push her into the fire, please forgive me for being unreasonable, and please don't come to Situ Mansion to find her sister in the future, you and her are not the right household after all! "Situ Jin is planning to reject Duanmu Xuan today, even if he loses this friend because of this.

"How could Zhongxian say such a lie, I asked myself if I would never do anything to be sorry for Yan'er. As for the matter of the Guogong Mansion, no matter what Zhongxian heard, I still said the same thing, I Duanmu Xuanfei Situ Yan will not marry! And for the oath that he will never take a concubine for the rest of his life. If Zhongxian is worried about his mother, I can also assure you that Yan'er does not need to make rules with her mother except for morning and dusk, as long as I am still the son of the house for a day, I will not let Yan'er be bullied! Duanmu Xuan was a little anxious, thinking that Situ Jin was looking for him to discuss, but he didn't want to directly refuse him to come again. In the future, he was afraid that he would not be able to see Situ Yan for ten and a half days, and when he thought of this, he felt pain in his heart for no reason.

"Ziheng. I believe your assurances. But that is the Guogong Mansion, and no matter how much status you have, you are just a son. And you'll always be away from home. If the Duchess of Guo sent a message to Yan'er to come over, could Yan'er refuse? Ziheng, if you really want Yan'er's good, don't dwell on it anymore, I just want Yan'er to have a few days of comfortable life! Since her mother's death, she has had a hard time all these years! When he thought of Situ Yan's days over the years, Situ Jin's heart would throb.

"Zhongxian. If my assurances still don't reassure you. Then I can open another house, how about that? Yan'er is a rightful housewife in the Shizi Mansion! "Duanmu Xuan didn't think about opening a mansion, but after all, his mother only gave birth to one son. But now it depends on Situ Jin's attitude. If he doesn't open the government order, I'm afraid he will have to deal with Situ Yan again.

"Ziheng, those things in the Gaomen Courtyard, Zhumen Shen Mansion. Don't tell me you don't know. You don't understand. Even if you stay by Yan'er's side all day, you may not be able to protect her, not to mention that if you are entrusted with important tasks by the emperor, when you are not in the mansion during the day, whether Yan'er is in your own mansion or in the Guogong Mansion, the Duchess of Guo is your mother and Yan'er's mother-in-law. Only this identity. Yan'er will always be controlled by others, even if there is a trace of displeasure on her face. will be criticized. How can I, as an elder brother, let Yan'er go through that desperate day. Situ Jin thought of the Li family brothers at this time, after all, there are no elders in the Li family, maybe the younger sister will live a happier life with one of the four brothers.

Situ Jin's words made Duanmu Xuan's heart cold, of course he thought of these, but he always took it for granted that with Situ Yan's intelligence, he would never let himself suffer, after all, he would stand on Situ Yan's side and become her dependence. It was also because he himself had an ostrich mentality, but now that he was awakened by Situ Jin's point, it was impossible for him to escape even if he wanted to.

"Zhongxian, I understand your concerns. What my mother cares about most is Yan'er's background. Leave everything to me, I promise to give Yan'er an honorable identity, even if it is a mother, I will not talk about my family background again, I just ask Zhongxian not to reject me from the house! Duanmu Xuan has never begged anyone since he was a child, and now he is willing to bow to Situ Yan for Situ Yan.

Even if Situ Jin's heart was iron, he couldn't help but be a little tempted, thinking that if Duanmu Xuan could really give his little sister a prominent identity, at least the Duchess would not make things difficult for him anymore. My little sister may be able to live a very happy life. Just now he was thinking about marrying his little sister to the Li brothers, but when Duanmu Xuan said this, Situ Jin was shaken again.

In fact, this can't be blamed for him being like a wall grass, he knows the little sister's temperament best, "I'd rather be a broken jade than a complete tile", such a character is the most disadvantaged in the courtyard of the deep house. It's just that although the Li family is good, after all, the four of them come from humble backgrounds, so he is unwilling to let his little sister commit to marrying.

After thinking about it again and again, I finally had to sigh, "Hey, why are you so troubled!" ”

The two didn't mention it again, but drank stuffy wine, Duanmu Xuan was annoyed by his mother these days, and now he was almost cornered by Situ Jin, and he was drunk after a few glasses of wine. I often hear people say that wine is more sorrowful, but now Duanmu Xuan has experienced it.

After nightfall, Mo Feng and Mo Yu sent the young master and Situ Jin back to their respective homes.

Situ Yan was a little surprised, his brother would get drunk when he had a meal with Duanmu Xuan, and after asking Mo Yu, he couldn't tell why, so he had to wait for Situ Jin to wake up.

Duanmu Xuan's drunken return to the house naturally spread into the inner courtyard, and the Duchess of Guo was worried, thinking that she was too strong and caused her son to drink to drown his sorrows.

"Nurse, do you think Xuan'er will blame me for being a mother! I only gave birth to one Xuan'er, if even my son and I are not close, then what is the point of me staying in this family? ”

"Madame is too worried, the eighth prince went to the seventh prince, and was drunk by the seventh prince, so he was drunk. Madame takes everything else on herself. And now that the 'Chrysanthemum Banquet' is coming, Mrs. still has to make plans early! ”

"You said before that I should send a post to Situ Mansion and invite Miss Situ to the banquet, but what good idea do you have?"

"Madame, you think! That day is the Double Ninth Festival, what is Miss Situ's background, there must be no decent festival in the house, and which one of the people who come to the banquet is not from a famous family, and there is a charm of everyone in her gestures, and a woman from a small family can only be ashamed of herself! And this woman is afraid of comparison, and when the time comes, the prince will see clearly that it is difficult for the little woman to enter the elegant hall. At that time, there is no need for Mrs. to say more, and the prince will die! "In the eyes of the nurse. Situ Yan is not much different from those who came from farmhouses. So I thought about her as unbearable.

"If it can really be like this, in Xuan'er's eyes, this little woman is afraid that it is not as simple as we think. What if she won't come? ”

"It's better if you don't come, you spread the word, just say that the young lady of the Situ Mansion family has eyes above the top and disrespects the elders, just these two are enough for her to carry the black pot for a lifetime and not be able to raise her head!" can't blame the nurse for her hatred, after all, Situ Yan has nothing to do with her.

"Is that good?" The Duchess hesitated. After all, she is kind in her heart, and although she has done this kind of thing before, she is only for the concubines in the house. For outsiders, especially a child who has not been able to do it, he has compassion.

"Madam, this is related to the happiness of the prince for a lifetime, you can't retreat when you are in front of you. Say this rumor again. Zuo has not been mentioned again for a few months. If the lady is upset. When the matter of the prince is over, you can find a good family for Miss Situ, maybe you can still be an adult! ”

"Okay!" Compared with her conscience, her son's happiness is the most important, and the Duchess of Guo still responded to the request of the nurse and sent an invitation letter to Situ Mansion.

If Duanmu Xuan knew that his mother was planning to pimp his sweetheart, I don't know if he would go crazy directly.

On the second day, Situ Jin got up early in the morning, and before going to bed, Situ Yan poured him a decoction to sober up. So I didn't have a headache when I woke up in the morning, but I felt a little dizzy. But it's not yet noon. I received an invitation to a banquet from the Guogong Mansion, and it even indicated that it was the son and young lady of Situ Mansion who were invited. was so frightened that Situ Jin almost lost his manners in front of the messenger. gave some errand silver, and sent people away first, and then hurriedly sent a message to the shop to find Situ Yan back for discussion.

"Bolt, but what's going on in the house?" Before Situ Yanren entered the courtyard gate, he first asked for the plug.

"Don't worry, the eldest young master is fine, it's just that the eldest young master just received an invitation to a banquet from the Guogong Mansion and couldn't make up his mind, so he asked the slave to find the eldest lady to come back and discuss!"

"Oh, it's good that nothing happened!" Situ Yan felt that Situ Jin was making a fuss, and this matter could be talked about later, so there was no need to let her run back. But now that she has returned, it is not good to leave immediately, so she has to go to the study first.

"Brother!" When I entered the door, I saw Situ Jin, who was worried about himself, sitting at the desk in a daze.

"Yan'er, you came back just in time, come and see, you said that the Guogong Mansion set up a banquet to invite you as a brother, after all, Brother and Ziheng can be regarded as brothers with different surnames, but the Duchess of Guo posted a post to invite you to come to the house, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple?" Situ Yan was also stunned, she had never seen this Duchess of the country, and she didn't understand how she could suddenly think of herself.

"Brother, I drank with Ziheng yesterday, did he talk about anything?" Situ Yan also thought that this matter was related to Situ Jin's drunkenness yesterday.

"I didn't mention it!" Situ Jin didn't want to tell his little sister about the conversation between him and Duanmu Xuan, the little sister had enough things, even if he could worry less.

"That's weird!" Situ Jin deliberately concealed it, so Situ Yan was also a little puzzled for a while.

"Brother don't worry too much, wait for someone to bring a message to Ziheng, and you will know as soon as you ask!" Situ Yan intuitively felt that this matter should be handed over to Duanmu Xuan, first, she didn't want to trouble, and second, she didn't think of why for a while.

"It's good!" Situ Jin also felt that this was the best, and as soon as the two brothers and sisters had lunch, Duanmu Xuan came to the door.

"Ziheng, what do you mean by this?" Situ Jin looked unhappy, handed the invitation to Duanmu Xuan, and didn't even give him a straight look.

"I've already heard the bolt say about it, Zhongxian is willing to believe me, I don't know about it!"

"This?" Situ Jin was a little hesitant, to say that Duanmu Xuan didn't know anything about this, he still didn't believe it somewhat. But when he was hesitating, Situ Yan spoke on the side.

"I'm confident that Ziheng doesn't know, but I want to know, why did the Duchess of Guo invite me to the banquet?" Situ Yan didn't care whether Duanmu Xuan knew it or not, she just wanted to know why the Duchess of Guo invited her.

Duanmu Xuan thought that Situ Yan already knew about the previous matter, glanced at Situ Jin, and saw that he shook his head lightly to himself, knowing that Situ Yan did not know about this matter, and nodded to Situ Jin with gratitude in his heart, and then replied to Situ Yan.

Xu is mother listened to the discussion of the senior brother, so she moved the idea of inviting Yan'er to come over, but it was just an ordinary banquet, Yan'er would go if she wanted to, and she wouldn't go if she didn't want to go. I will arrange the reply! Although Situ Yan didn't notice the eye contact between Situ Jin and Duanmu Xuan, she was naturally sensitive to danger, and Duanmu Xuan couldn't dismiss it in a few words.

"I'm afraid I can't help but go to this 'chrysanthemum banquet'!" Even Situ Yan can foresee that there is no good banquet in this banquet, and there is no good banquet. I'm afraid she will be pushed to the forefront again.

"Yan'er!" Duanmu Xuan's heart was full of guilt, and of course he also had resentment towards his mother. But when he returned home, the Duchess avoided him on the grounds that she was unwell.

After Situ Yan sent Duanmu Xuan away, she went to inquire, but there was nothing outside, and no one knew about the competition between her and Mr. Gongsun's apprentice.

"Yan'er, tomorrow's 'Chrysanthemum Banquet' in the Guogong Mansion, just go for your brother alone!" Situ Jin didn't want his little sister to go on this troubled water from the bottom of his heart.

"The Duchess invited, you and I are both juniors, and it's not good not to go. Anyway, Situ Mansion is just a cloth cloth, as long as you don't lose your courtesy, go and go! Situ Yan sighed, knowing that there were tigers in the mountains and preferring to go to the tiger mountains.

"But?" Situ Jin was really worried about his sister, afraid that she would be humiliated on this trip.

"The soldiers are coming, what's the big deal! If something really happens, it will only be the Guogong Mansion that will lose face, and who cares about us as a small family! Situ Yan's words not only did not reassure Situ Jin, but became more worried.

"Alright, brother, don't be sad. You see, this is the dress I made the other day, and it's just right here to use! Situ Yan opened the burden on the table, she took a fancy to a smoky blue satin a few days ago, with a crescent white light veil, and the two embellishments were as beautiful as the fairy of the Moon Palace.

"Yan'er, will this dress be too elegant?" Situ Jin felt a little light, after all, although the chrysanthemum banquet was not a hundred flowers, but each had its own merits, if the little sister was compared to others in terms of dress, he would feel even more uncomfortable.

"How so? And I don't like the bright colors of red, red, green and green, but it looks tacky! Brother believes me, this dress may not look good when worn by others, but I must look good when I wear it! The brother and sister chatted for a while about the gift list, and then they went back to rest.

They have to recharge their energy so that they can go to "war" tomorrow. (To be continued......)
