If it really comes to such a point, then the situation of the Yan family can be seen to be extremely imminent and dangerous.

In his previous life, Yan Huai successfully attacked the lord and succeeded him as the Duke of Chengguo, so he sent Yan Lin to Mobei, and it was not until a few years later that Yan Lin was secretly found back to Kyoto by Xiao Wan. And her behavior completely annoyed Yan Huai. Among them, no one knows the cause and effect except them, and Xie Shuning in his previous life is not even a bystander, let alone knows anything.

The past events about the Yan family and the things about Yan Huai that she knows now are all from the rumors she heard in the past, and they are all sorted out little by little.

Therefore, no one knows why Yan Dao asked for Xiao Wan's life just because she secretly found Yan Lin to return to Beijing after Yan Huai was under house arrest for a few years.

Xie Shuning walked under the corridor, looking at the dense and continuous autumn rain outside, and suddenly shuddered.

Although Xiao Wan died because of Yan Huai, she actually died in the hands of her biological son, Yan Lin, the second master of the Yan family.

Speaking of which, Yan Huai dropped the three-foot white silk and ordered Yan Lin to hang Xiao Wan's family, Xie Shuning still heard about it from Lin Yuanzhi's mouth once. Lin Yuanzhi looked down on Yan Huai very much, the Lin family was just a broken little marquis, a family supported by orphans and widows, and Rao was the back Xie Shuning became the wife of the Marquis of Changping, and the Lin family recovered a little bit of its former state, but it was still despised.

But Lin Yuanzhi looked down on Yan Huai very much behind his back, and often felt that Yan Huai had a good background and a foreign family to rely on, and Su Ri was especially favored by Emperor Qinglong, who reigned in the past, which gave him his current status and identity.

Xie Shuning knew that Lin Yuan didn't mention it on his face. I can't tell if I think every day, if he changes places with Yan Huai, maybe he can be more powerful.

But at that time, who dared to say that he really said bad things about Yan Huai. Others don't dare, and Lin Yuanzhi doesn't dare.

Xie Shuning could hear the cause of Xiao Wan's death, and it was Lin Yuanzhi who confided in his words after being drunk, so he knew the truth.

She was listening to those words under the lamp at that time, and she only felt a chill in her heart, and since then she has been terrified of Yan Huai.

He was not in a high position at that time, but if he wanted Xiao Wan's life. That's a lot of methods, why do you have to let Yan Lin do it?

Xie Shuning only felt that Lin Yuanzhi's words were cold and terrifying. You should really avoid Yan Huai from afar.

However, today, she finally can't help but overturn her old thoughts.

Yan Huai is certainly ruthless, but what about Yan Lin?

The harsh brother dropped the three-foot white silk and asked him to hang his biological mother with his own hands. He actually obeyed. is really like this, Xiao Wan, who is still distressed for him and worried about him until death, hanged himself on the beam.

Xiao Wan's embroidered shoes were hanging in the air, his face full of horror and dumbfounded......

I'm afraid that Yan Lin can't see it.

After all, he wanted to live more than he dared to kill his mother with his own hands.

Really compared. Who dares to say that Yan Huai must be more ruthless than Yan Lin?

Xie Shuning withdrew his gaze from the withering grass and trees not far away. In his mind, the young Yan Huai was wearing a cloud brocade flying fish costume and an embroidered spring knife, his face was grim, he was not smiling, but there was vicissitudes and loneliness in his eyes that were incommensurate with his age.

That should be Yan Huai when he was sixteen or seventeen years old.

In her previous life, she had never met Yan Huai at all, and naturally it was impossible for her to see him.

Xie Shuning secretly pinched his left hand, leaving a crescent-shaped nail mark, and his consciousness came to his senses. She listened to the sound of the rain hitting the fallen leaves outside the corridor, and muttered softly: "What the hell is it......

I haven't even seen him, and I don't know why I thought of him.

She shook her head, beckoned Liu Huang, who had been guarding outside, to take an umbrella and send herself back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

walked halfway, but in the drizzle, I met my father Xie Yuanmao.

She saluted under the umbrella: "Father." ”

Xie Yuanmao asked, "Coming back from the Jade Tea Courtyard?" ”

Xie Shuning looked up at his face that had not seen the traces of time over the years, and replied: "Yes, my mother left the third aunt to speak, and I will go back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion first." ”

"Oh? Where is your third aunt? Xie Yuanmao was stunned when he heard that Jiang was talking to Song.

"When I went, the third aunt was already there."

Xie Yuanmao was silent for a few breaths when he heard this, then waved his hand to let him go, let Xie Shuning go down, and then raised his feet and strode towards the inner study.

Xie Shuning stopped in place, looked at his distant back, and then realized that counting the days, it turned out that it would not be long before the filial piety of the third old lady, no wonder he was always walking around these days, presumably preparing for the resumption of service.

Now the third master of the Xie family is like a fish in water in the court, comparable to the second master of the Xie family at the beginning, and he is even valued by the emperor.

With him as an elder brother, Xie Yuanmao's position should not be difficult to do.

Xie Shuning was a little distracted, and had no intention of thinking about it anymore.

The most important thing at the moment should be the words that her third aunt Jiang Shi said.

If Xiao Wan's really has such thoughts, I'm afraid he will contact Xie Yuanmao or Song in the next few days. In Xie Shuning's opinion, it was far more likely that she would send someone to discuss with her father than to see her mother, but something unexpected to her happened soon.

When the snow peach on the Pingjiao Grange was about to ripen, Xiao Wan's finally moved.

She did not contact Xie Yuanmao directly as Jiang thought, nor did she contact Song alone.

She directly posted to the Xie family and invited several young ladies of the Xie family to enjoy the plum blossoms.

The plum blossoms of the Chengguo Mansion bloomed early, just in October, and gradually bloomed. The plum blossoms of the Yan family have always been the most famous in Kyoto. It's just that for so many years, Xiao Wan's family has never held any plum banquets, let alone posts for the girls of the Xie family.

There are several people in the house, but all those who have unmarried girls have received posts.

The old lady of the long room took the invitation card and looked at it carefully, and whispered to the eldest lady Wang, just let the girls in the house go.

If it's just Xiao Wan's banquet, it's the same whether you go there or not now, and maybe you can be less troubled if you don't go. But this time, it was a few young ladies from the Wanjia family, who borrowed the name of their aunt Xiao Wan's to hold a plum banquet. So. There is still a family behind this, and since they have sent invitations to the girls of the Xie family, there is no reason for them not to go.

But you can't go all.

The old lady told the eldest lady again: "The girl of the sixth family must not be absent, and the fourth family does not need to worry about it." As for the girls in the long room, you can do it. ”

The eldest lady smiled bitterly, she was used to being a capable person. At this time, after receiving such an order, I didn't dare to say that I wouldn't pick it.

But this is indeed not an easy task.

It's too young to take it out and cause trouble! If you are engaged, you have to pay attention to the rules. It's inconvenient to go out.

After the last, only Wu Niang Xie Xuanruo was decided. Sixth mother Xie Zhiruo, and eight girls Xie Shuning, and then the eldest and youngest grandmother of the long house, Zhu, took them to Yan's house for a banquet.

Xie Shuning didn't want to go, but she could hide from the first day of junior high school, but she couldn't hide from the fifteenth, so she still had to go.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Yan family's plum banquet.

This year, the weather is also very early, and the autumn has not yet passed. Winter seems to have arrived.

It's only October, and it's as cold as the middle of winter. The north wind was blowing. When I went out in the morning, it was as cold as a knife.

Mother Zhuo specially found the fox fur jacket that was warm but not too thick and bloated, and served Xie Shuning to dress it carefully. Yuzi prepared the hand stove and stuffed it into her hand. Her body is weaker than others, and the people around her are especially careful.

Before going out, Turan brought a bunch of pills that Yuebai had sent a few days ago, and carried them with him in case of emergency.

Xie Shuning arrived at the second gate before the eldest and youngest grandmother Zhu urged people.

Xie Zhiruo glared at her coldly: "It's all the news that I got together, and you are procrastinating!" You are the youngest, and you told us to wait for you on a windy day, like words? ”

"Sixth sister can use morning food?" Xie Shuning sent Turan to quietly inspect the carriage first, while he dealt with Xie Zhiruo casually.

Xie Zhiruo couldn't help but be stunned when she heard her suddenly not answer the rhetorical question and say such a sentence, and frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

The eldest and youngest grandmother, Zhu, got into the carriage at the front and greeted them: "It's too late, hurry up and get in the car and set off." ”

Everyone responded in unison, and each prepared to get into the car.

Xie Zhiruo said early in the morning that she would have one with her grandmother, and Xie Shuning and her fifth cousin would have one.

Xie Shuning pointed to the carriage that hit the head, and said with a smile: "Sixth sister still doesn't get in the car?" ”

Xie Zhiruo stomped her feet and led people to turn forward.

Behind her, Xie Shuning held the hand stove and said leisurely: "Sixth sister, I'm afraid that I will eat too much spicy food in the morning, so I am very angry. With that, she got into her carriage.

Xie Zhiruo heard the voice from afar, turned her head and glared at her angrily, she wanted to scold but couldn't bear the impatience of the young grandmother, and began to urge her, so she had to get into the carriage first, waiting to settle accounts with Xie Shu and Ningqiu.

Only then did the group really start to set off for the Yan family in Nancheng.

On the carriage, Wu Niang, who had always been silent, racked her brains and Xie Shuning to talk a few words, but there was really nothing to say, so the two simply stopped talking, and quietly leaned there and waited to Yan's house.

Xie Shuning also ended up relaxed, silently guessing Xiao Wan's intentions.

At such a juncture now, she is afraid that she is so anxious that she can't sleep at night, how can she still have the heart to hold a plum banquet?

And this so-called banquet was indeed not held by Xiao Wan's family, but proposed by Yan Huai and several cousins of Yan Lin. Whether it's true or not, there are definitely people from thousands of families today.

The sound of horses' hooves "clicked" non-stop, and Xie Shuning's mind also turned back and forth.

- Xiao Wan wants to see her.

Xie Shuning's expression was awe-inspiring, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

With Xiao Wan's love for Yan Lin, it is normal for her to want to see Xie Shuning, who she hasn't seen for many years.

But for her, it's really not interesting to go around Xiao Wan's in a good way. (To be continued......)
