Chapter 177: Candidates
The fragrance of medicine in Yuhan Pavilion is strong, and at dusk, Zhang's mother sent the boiled medicine to the bedside.
Meng Yuyan leaned on the back of the water-patterned brocade and waved his hand weakly.
"Princess Niangniang, it's bitter, let's drink the medicine while it's hot." Zhang's mother was worried and persuaded.
She didn't remember the first time the princess had been reluctant to drink medicine.
Meng Yuyan still shook his head, "I can't drink it, it's not because this medicine is bitter." ”
It's bitter in my heart.
Mother Zhang knew what she meant, and sighed lightly, but still told the maid to get the candied plums.
King Jin lifted the light yarn at the partition and came in, and at a glance he saw the blue and white porcelain bowl that was still steaming on the small table at the head of the bed.
He raised his eyebrows and said reproachfully: "Why don't you want to drink medicine?" ”
Meng Yuyan turned his head and ignored him.
Mother Zhang made a blessing and replied: "The medicinal soup is bitter, and I have already told the maid to take the bitter plums." ”
King Jin bowed lightly and went down the steps.
After a moment of silence, he sat down on the edge of the bed, held Meng Yuyan's hand on the brocade quilt, and smiled softly: "I asked Jialu to go to the Wenxin Marquis Mansion to deliver a letter, and asked my aunt to pass Lan'er to us as an heir." ”
The heir, that is, the adopted daughter, still does not recognize each other.
Still, it's a good thing.
Great news fell from the sky, and it came so suddenly, Meng Yuyan came to his senses for a while, shook his hand in surprise, and asked, "Really?!" ”
The joy is palpable.
King Jin looked at her smiling face, which instantly became bright and vivid. The bottom of his heart tightened, and he tightened the soft and cold five fingers in his palm, and bowed his chin: "Really." ”
There was a pause. And added: "I won't lie to you again." The thumb gently rubbed the back of her delicate and smooth hand.
Meng Yuyan didn't notice his intimate little movements at all, smiled and smiled, and then cried with joy.
Seeing that she was so excited, Zhang's mother hurriedly persuaded in a low voice: "Worry about your body, don't go up and down, sad and happy." ”
But he also cried and laughed, and his heart was silent.
King Jin was a little sad. A little weak-hearted, he hesitated: "Although I sent a letter." But I don't know if my aunt will agree, and Zhongzhi, I have met with him once in the past few days to listen to what he means. is unwilling to come out of the road. ”
He wisely stopped mentioning Meng.
He said this because he wanted his wife to have a bottom in her heart, so as not to end up with too much sadness and sadness.
Meng Yuyan didn't think much about it, and smiled softly: "You did what you can do, this is already very good, if it is ......" said, his expression was slightly gloomy, "If the Marquis of Wenxin's mansion does not agree." I can only blame that I didn't have that blessing. ”
She, in turn, comforted him.
"Yuyan." King Jin was very moved, and clenched her hand harder and harder.
How long had it been since he had seen his wife look so pleasant?
I couldn't suppress the excitement and throbbing in my heart.
knew that it would be so easy to untie her heart knot and make the two reconcile. He will definitely agree to take Lan'er back when Yuqing opened his mouth before, which is better than having such a quarrel with Yuqing now.
Thinking of what the person sent by the Zhou government to reply to the letter said, he regretted that he had not done it at the beginning.
Yuqing was reluctant to accept his teacup, nor did he want to come to the palace again, which was for him. It was a heavy blow.
Thinking of this, he was a little depressed for a while.
Meng Yuyan saw that he suddenly became depressed. Knowing that he remembered Meng Yuqing, he said with relief: "Although the second sister is stronger, she is better than being bold and informal, now she is angry, she doesn't want to deal with you, when she is angry, she will be fine, you also know her, you really don't have to worry too much." ”
"I know." King Jin sighed lowly, his lacquer-like eyes were both moved and guilty, he patted the back of her hand and sighed: "Even if Yuqing really broke off her love with me for more than ten years, it was my own doing. ”
"You're prone to crankiness, how can you be so strict?" Meng Yuyan laughed at his sad spring and autumn, and comforted: "It's a big deal, I beg my second sister to go." ”
Because King Jin was willing to take An Ruolan back, her estrangement from him completely dissipated, and she was willing to joke with him as she did in her early years.
King Jin was grateful for her tolerance and care, looked at her affectionately, and suddenly said: "We will have many children." ”
Meng Yuyan blushed suddenly, and scolded him shyly and timidly.
King Jin squeezed her hand and smiled heartily.
Seeing that the husband and wife were reconciled as before, Zhang's mother was very happy.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Miss Lan's affairs have hope, and the prince is so caring and considerate, the princess's complexion is good to look at, and this heart disease really has to be relied on.
Picking up the already slightly cool decoction, Zhang's mother stopped the maid who came to deliver the candied plums and let the husband and wife talk alone.
After seven years, the two who met again have endless love words.
Tenderness and softness are needless to say.
Wenxin Marquis Mansion.
At the beginning of the lanterns, Mrs. An was taking her granddaughters to have a lively dinner, and at this moment, the next person reported that the Jialu father-in-law of the Jin Wangfu had visited.
Mrs. An immediately met with Jialu's father-in-law and gave her a thoughtful reception.
"The old lady doesn't have to be polite, it's not the right time for our family to come, but it's disturbing the old lady's dinner."
Jialu's father-in-law smiled and saluted, and his attitude was also very polite.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Jialu directly explained his intentions, and then said goodbye and left.
He came and went in a hurry, but the news he brought surprised Mrs. An.
This matter was extraordinary, and Mrs. An immediately asked the old marquis to come over to discuss.
The old marquis came to Yirong Garden, and after listening to the details, he was also very surprised, but then, his mind turned.
He said: "The Jin Palace's Mansion is a good place to go, even if it is an heir, you can also ask for the county lord, and the princess of Jin and her fifth daughter-in-law are sisters, so I think I will treat Lan girl well." ”
Listening to the meaning of his words, he hoped that An Ruolan could succeed King Jin as his daughter.
Mrs. An's eyes were slightly gloomy, knowing that he wanted to use this to get closer to the Jin Wangfu and seek protection.
She didn't object, she said worriedly: "The Jin Wangfu is good, but it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of high climbing, and I am afraid that it will provoke gossip if it is spread out, and the relationship between the Jin Wangfu and our Hou Mansion is still a little bit different." ”
After all, compared to the Jin Palace, the Meng Mansion is a little closer to the Marquis of Wenxin.
And the Jin throne is high and powerful, and he is a relative of the emperor.
Even if no one in the An family and the Meng family is willing to adopt Sister Lan, it will be difficult to pass Sister Lan to the Jin Palace.
After Mrs. An said this, the old marquis also thought of this, he frowned and thought deeply, for a long time, and said again and again: "Madame is reasonable. ”
Although he wanted to borrow the east wind of the Jin Palace, he valued the family's reputation more.
The scholarly heirloom, the noble and noble family can no longer be stained.
Old Madam An secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Does Master Hou have a good candidate in his heart?" ”
The old marquis glanced at her, and saw that her eyebrows were soft, her expression was tame, and her heart was very useful, so he said gently: "Since I will leave a qiē at your disposal, it is naturally up to you to make up your mind." ”
Since his wife gave him enough face and put him first in everything, he was naturally willing to give his wife some respect.
Mrs. An waited for his words, and when she heard this, she no longer shirked, and said: "In this case, the concubine has to be carefully considered." ”
The old marquis was satisfied.
After talking about some trivial matters in the house and talking about his sons, the old marquis went back to the front yard.
After repeatedly confirming that the old marquis would not interfere again, Mrs. An was able to rest assured and be able to sleep peacefully.
Nothing happened overnight.
Early in the morning, An Shiyan went back to his house to ask Mrs. An for peace, and Mrs. An asked him directly: "Have you thought about it?" ”
You don't need to say it to know what you're asking.
An Shiyan looked left and right, and finally could only shake his head, "I haven't discussed it with Yuxia yet." ”
Last night, his wife was warm, and he really couldn't find a chance to speak, so after resting, he thought about it alone for a night, but it was useless.
Mrs. An also saw the bloodshot in his eyes, and when she heard this, she was immediately angry.
She put the teacup on the coffee table, patted it a few times, and said sharply: "You can't take the idea like this?" I say it well, you really only know how to do this? Then I let you not have to ask Meng Shi's opinion, so can you take the idea alone? ”
"......" An Shiyan lowered her head, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "Lan'er was born in Yuxia with great hardship, and I can't ignore her wishes......"
Hearing this, Mrs. An was even more angry, she slammed the plum blossoms on the ground, and scolded: "You also know that Sister Lan was born by the Meng family, if the Meng family really loves Sister Lan, she shouldn't have the mind to succeed Sister Lan!" ”
"Yuxia is hurtful for Lan'er," she said......" An Shiyan subconsciously defended his wife.
"No matter how much she says, it's useless!" Mrs. Ann interrupted him forcefully.
An Shiyan drooped her shoulders in discouragement, "It's all her son's fault, Yuxia is also for her son and Brother Yan, don't blame her mother for ......"
The old lady was so angry with him that she had a headache, closed her eyes tiredly, shook her head and sighed with her forehead: "That's it, that's it, you guys are not in a hurry to be parents, what am I anxious about?" I didn't make you hold a grudge. ”
The helplessness and grief in the words made An Shiyan's eyes red.
"Mother......" he called with tears in his eyes.
Mrs. An waved her hand and said, "Don't call me, I have done everything I can, and in the future, Sister Lan will call the father of others, and you won't be sad." ”
These words made An Shiyan's nose sour again.
Mrs. An said again: "Yesterday, the Jin Wangfu sent someone, and the King of Jin intends to recognize Sister Lan as his heir, I have discussed it with your father, and I haven't made up my mind for a while, but I probably want to refuse." Tell me, what do you think? Do you have a candidate in mind? ”
"Son......" An Shiyan choked up and couldn't speak, he never thought of Jilan'er, how could there be a candidate in his heart?
Mrs. An knew that he couldn't say a thing or two, so she didn't force him, and said to herself: "Your brothers, as well as your eldest brother, are all good candidates, if you are willing, King Jin is not impossible, now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, you should think about it early." The old woman still hopes that Sister Lan can always be with her knees. ”
"My son got it." An Shiyan said in a mournful voice. (To be continued) R655
