Chapter 365: Engagement

Fang Bining's matter, the old lady didn't mention it again, An Shiyan also knew that she had to avoid suspicion, so she restrained herself after that, and rarely went to find Fang Bining again, and she asked people to spread the word about anything, or asked a few sisters-in-law to help take care of it.

And after this incident, An Shiyan also made up his mind and began to ask Fang Bining to find a husband.

He thinks that this is good for everyone, but he ignores women's attachment to feelings.

Two months passed in a flash, and An Ruolan and the second lady were about to leave for Shengjing.

On the eve of leaving, the second lady pulled the two sisters to talk, and they were also teaching how to behave in her husband's house, how to teach her husband and children, and how to get along with her sister-in-law.

In the past two months, without interference from the outside world, coupled with An Ruolan's reconciliation, the relationship between the second lady and An Ruoyan has become much closer, eliminating the distance, and the mother and mother can't wait to be together every day.

An Ruoyan is young after all, although she is steady and introverted, she can't control the love in her heart, thinking that her mother and sister are leaving, she can't help crying, even if she knows that it is not feasible, she still opens her mouth and begs: "Mother and Lan'er stay longer, I can't go back to Shengjing to visit you during the Chinese New Year this year, thinking that I will wait until the end of next year, I ...... I'll just ......"

Before he finished speaking, he just covered his mouth and cried.

Afraid that she would hurt her body due to excessive grief, the second lady held back her tears, forced a smile and persuaded: "When the spring of next year comes, the child will be born, and then we will definitely come to visit you, even if we don't look at you, we also have to see my grandson, are you still worried that you won't see each other?" ”

However, these words couldn't be persuaded at all, An Ruoyan shouted vigorously: "Mother! Lan'er! I can't bear you! ”

The second lady was provoked by her and couldn't help crying.

An Ruolan wiped her tears beside her and said, "If you want to cry, cry out, it will hurt your body when you are stuffy in your heart." Cry out and cry out, and it's good to cry. ”

Pregnant women's love is already up and down, easy to get excited, and it is not good to hold back.

Hearing this, the mother and daughter couldn't bear it anymore, and hugged their heads and cried.

As An Ruolan said, I feel comfortable when I cry.

This night. An Ruoyan rested in the second lady's room. I don't know what kind of intimate words the mother and daughter said.

Leaving early the next morning, the second lady was so tough that she didn't let An Ruoyan send it, for fear of crying and crying in front of everyone to make people laugh. It also made Mrs. Yang think badly.

went back to arrange to take the waterway, Yang Yanjun arranged for his own ship to deliver goods back to Beijing to send his aunt and nephew back to Beijing, and he was supposed to send a ride, but was politely rejected by the second lady. said that there was a girl who had not yet come out of the cabinet, which was inconvenient.

Before boarding. Yang Yanjun bowed deeply three times to the second lady, and said sincerely: "The son-in-law has always felt sorry for Ruoyan, and it is difficult for Ruoyan to even see his relatives if he leaves his hometown. The son-in-law is also ashamed of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. failed to improve the filial piety, and hoped that the mother-in-law would forgive. But please rest assured that your son-in-law will take good care of Ruoyan. Don't let her suffer the slightest grievance. ”

The second lady is still very satisfied with this son-in-law, these days. No matter how busy Yang Yunjun is, he will take the time to greet her, talk to her, and take care of her very well when she eats and goes out, except that she can't see her often, which can be said to be impeccable.

Busy helping him up, the second lady said: "I am willing to marry my daughter to you, don't count it a lot, if you feel that you have not been able to fulfill your filial piety to the two of us, then put this guilt on Ruoyan, and be twice as good to her and the child." I also feel guilty about Ruoyan, I have often neglected her since I was a child, and now as long as she is doing well, I have nothing else to ask for......"

At this point, he choked up again, and turned his face to wipe the wetness from the corners of his eyes.

Yang Yanjun was moved in his heart, and said solemnly: "Mother-in-law, rest assured, the son-in-law will be doubly good to Ruoyan, and the son-in-law will gradually move his business to Shengjing in the future, so that he can often serve his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and let Ruoyan see his relatives more." ”

"Good, good, good, as long as you are good, it is better than anything, I am waiting for you." The second lady burst into tears and smiled, and her eyes flashed with hope.

An Ruolan helped her wipe away the tears on her face, and quipped: "The second aunt will cry and laugh for a while, she is really like a child." ”

The second lady and Yang Yunjun were both amused, and the second lady laughed at her and said: "You girl, you know that the second aunt is happy, and the second aunt is happy, and I am worried that the second aunt will no longer hurt you!" ”

Hearing this, An Ruolan pretended to panic, hugged her arm pitifully and shook it: "Second aunt, don't you, if you don't hurt Lan'er, no one will hurt Lan'er!" ”

The second lady put on a shelf and snorted: "I remember this, go back and tell your grandmother to listen to them, I can't clean you up!" ”

An Ruolan was so frightened that she screamed.

With such a break, the sad atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

Yang Yunjun bowed to An Ruolan again and said, "Please ask the sixth aunt to replace Xiaosheng and take care of your father-in-law and mother-in-law." Xiaosheng is grateful. ”

An Ruolan returned the salute and said, "Brother-in-law is polite, I should also be filial to my second uncle and aunt." Brother-in-law takes care of Sister Yan with peace of mind. He smiled again: "Sister Yan looks steady and tenacious, but she is actually sensitive and slender, this may be sad, brother-in-law should go back quickly to appease Sister Yan." ”

When it came to his wife, Yang Yanjun's eyes showed tenderness, and he said: "Ruoyan is empathetic and reasonable, whether it is in my career or in life, it has helped me a lot, and being able to marry her is a blessing that I have cultivated in my life." ”

Hearing this, An Ruolan couldn't help but hide her face and chuckle, and said, "In this way, we don't have to worry about Sister Yan being wronged, my brother-in-law knows that Sister Yan is good, and he will definitely be very good to Sister Yan." ”

Yang Yunjun blushed when he was said.

Don't talk a lot, the second lady and An Ruolan boarded the boat.

After the ship left the shore, the second lady saw that Yang Yanjun was still standing at the dock, so she waved her hand and said, "Go back!" ”

Yang Yanjun responded, but waited until the boat was far away before leaving.

The second lady and An Ruolan entered the cabin, and the second lady was both relieved and sad in her heart, and said: "Seeing with my own eyes that Ruoyan is doing well, I am finally relieved, my original decision was not wrong." ”

An Ruolan held her hand comfortingly and said, "Sister Yan will get better and better." ”

The second lady nodded with a smile, "Yesterday she told me that she had been very worried before, because she had not conceived a child for two years after being married, and she was worried that Runjun and her mother-in-law would blame her." Fortunately, Mrs. Yang is a kind person, and Yan Jun often comforts her, so she can feel at ease. Now it's good, they are a young couple and a beautiful couple, and they have children, which is perfect. ”

"Master Yang and his wife knew at a glance that they were kind people, and their brother-in-law was also considerate. Sister Yan can't share this blessing endlessly. An Ruolan echoed.

The second lady smiled and narrowed her eyes.

The boat went all the way north.

It's a little faster than when you came. It took less than ten days for the aunt and nephew to arrive in Shengjing one evening.

It was around the time when I returned to the Hou Mansion.

It was more comfortable to ride in a boat than in a carriage, and neither of them felt tired when they returned. immediately went to Yirong Yuan to greet the old lady, also to reassure the old man.

I heard that the Yang family was very good to An Ruoyan and the fetus was stable, and the old lady was very happy. said: "Although I agreed with this family affair at the beginning, Ruoyan has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. It's quiet again, and I'm worried that she won't make decisions for herself if she is wronged, but now I hear that she is doing well, and I am relieved. ”

Several concubines of the Murong clan also rushed to hear the news. also said: "Yes, so far away, no one helps if you are wronged." You can only rely on yourself. ”

The second lady had a smile on her face and said, "Yan Jun also said that he would transfer his business to Shengjing in the future." In this way, Ruoyan can go back to her parents' house from time to time to sit. ”

"That's a good idea." The old lady smiled from ear to ear.

An Ruolan interjected: "Sister Yan and the fifth brother-in-law are both able to live, the fifth brother-in-law is shrewd and capable, Sister Yan is virtuous and transparent, they are husband and wife of the same heart, I believe that they will be able to do business in Shengjing soon." ”

"That's right!" The elders all laughed in agreement.

The second lady praised her son-in-law for how filial and thoughtful he was, and he envied the third lady and the fourth lady.

Because An Ruoke is highly married, although she is protected by the lord of Changping, the man's family treats An Ruoke and An Sanye as husband and wife quite well, but they are definitely not so filial and thoughtful.

The Murong clan is as immobile as a mountain, because her son-in-law is also one of the best.

After chatting for a while, the second lady and An Ruolan felt tired and said goodbye and went back to the room to rest.

On the second day, the second lady and An Ruolan brought An Ruoyan back with them to return the gift, as well as the gift prepared by Yang Yunjun for everyone.

This time I went to Jiangnan, and everyone asked the second lady to bring gifts to An Ruolan, some for An Ruoyan to raise her body, some for the unborn child, and one for Yang Runjun to play with, as well as for Mrs. Yang, there are many miscellaneous ones, although they are not all valuables, but the courtesy is light and affectionate, and An Ruoyan and Yang Runjun have prepared a return gift, and they have carefully prepared gifts for everyone.

Everyone was very happy to receive the gifts, especially the younger generations, who praised their brother-in-law for being generous.

In comparison, An Ruodan's husband's family seems to be very stingy.

An Ruodan picked and chosen, and was withdrawn from marriage again, after not having a choice, she could only follow the will of An Erye, and chose a small family to marry in as a wife, she still picked it, and she looked good, but her character was not easy to say.

Just before the second lady and An Ruolan came back, An Ruodan took her husband back to her parents' house, she came to find An Shiting to help, the two came empty-handed, and left with a bunch of things, even An Ruodan, who loved An Ruodan, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, let alone others.

Especially after receiving the white jade unicorn paperweight and Chinese cabbage desk sent by Yang Yanjun, Second Master An couldn't help but sigh: "There is a difference between concubines and concubines, and the concubines raised by concubines are better than the concubines who are not raised by their wives." "I can't put it down when I caress the round and smooth cabbage.

It's not for nothing that the heart is starting to drift to the other side.

Trivia is not mentioned.

Duchess Weiguo had been waiting for news, and when she heard that An Ruolan had returned, she immediately sent someone to send a post to the Wenxin Marquis Mansion to inquire about the proposal.

Murong received the post, and after An Ruolan's consent, he directly replied to the Duchess of Wei Guo to invite a matchmaker.

The implication is that you can start talking about marriage.

Duchess Wei Guo had already been ready, and on the second day after receiving the reply, she invited a very important "matchmaker" to the Wenxin Marquis Mansion to propose marriage.

This matchmaker is no stranger, it is the eldest princess of Fuquan.

Although it was a formality, this matchmaker was so weighty that even the old lady had to go out to greet him. At the beginning, when they didn't know that the eldest princess of Fuquan was the matchmaker invited by the Wei family, the ladies of the An family still wondered why the eldest princess suddenly arrived.

Not to say that it was discussed in advance, but it was not negotiated, and with such a matchmaker as a guarantor, this family affair had to be agreed.

The matchmaker welcomes the door, everyone drinks tea, chats, and then sends people out respectfully, even if the woman agrees to this family business.

After Nacai, Wei Xing personally shot a pair of geese as a gift for Nacai and sent them to the Hou Mansion.

Then he asked the name Najib, and after the eight characters, the Wei family received an auspicious omen, and the gift was notified to the An family, and the two families decided to conclude a marriage.

After asking Najib, it was time to get hired, and the Duchess of Weiguo sent the carefully selected dowry gift to the door of the Marquis Wenxin's mansion, and the mahogany boxes wrapped in red silk lined up a street.

Under the letter of appointment, the text is fixed, and then both men and women have to write auspicious words with red and green gold "dragon and phoenix calligraphy".

Wei Xing wrote: "Su Yang Hufan, Jiuqin Side, Qianjin Yinuo, Guangsheng Pengbi." ”

An Ruolan replied: "One branch is fortunate, three lives are compatible, seven are ashamed, and nine are like celebrations." ”

That's it, it's engaged.

It only took half a month before and after, and the moment she got the letter of appointment, An Ruolan was still a little incredulous, her long-cherished wish was completed in this way.

In those days, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

And while she was excited, many sons of families who admired her also couldn't sleep at night, but they were sad and lost.

The Wei family's movements were not insignificant, and there was no warning beforehand, but under the Wei family's large-scale collection of treasures, the marriage between the Wei family and the An family quickly spread throughout Shengjing.

There are many people who laugh at a flower inserted in cow dung, most of them are red-eyed sons, in contrast, they are glad that An Ruolan married a reckless lady in the boudoir. In the past few years, An Ruolan has been in the limelight, although she has also made friends with like-minded interests, but there are still a lot of people who hate her behind her.

If you want to say who is the most surprised, it must be Meng Yuyan, because before this, she had not heard any news. It wasn't until the marriage was decided that she learned from Mrs. Meng.

Old Madam Meng looked at her guiltily and said, "I shouldn't hide it from you, but Brother Yi is right, you shouldn't have too much to do with Lan'er, just be an ordinary 'aunt'." As an aunt, you have no right to interfere in Lan'er's marriage. ”

Meng Yuyan was shocked again, she didn't care about her daughter's marriage, she asked tremblingly, "Mother, are you ......?"

Old Madam Meng didn't let her finish, her face was full of sorrow, she shook her head and sighed: "I should have guessed that they really look too similar, what I should have known was that I couldn't stand you." ”

Meng Yuyan couldn't help but think of two years ago, her mother was so sick that she couldn't get up because of Yuxia's incident, every time she came to visit her mother, her mother would hold her hand and cry and apologize, it turned out that at that time, her mother already knew. And the reason why my mother is so sick is not only because of Yuxia, but also because of her guilt.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but burst into tears. (To be continued) R580
