Chapter XVII. Contradictions
The children of the big family are all born to the glory of the family, but she doesn't want her sister Shu to have so many disputes, she has never had the mind of letting her children become dragons and phoenixes, and she doesn't want her daughter to become a pawn in exchange for the interests of the family, and bury her whole life on the glory of the family.
Aunt Jiang filled the tea cup, beckoned Yan Jingshu to sit over and rest, looked at the well-behaved daughter in front of her and couldn't help sighing, whether it was the eldest lady or Yan Bocheng, it was a problem...
"Auntie, auntie?" Yan Jingshu saw that Aunt Jiang was stunned and looked at her without speaking, and shook Aunt Jiang's arm with some confusion.
"What's wrong?" Aunt Jiang came back to her senses, looked at Yan Jingshu's concerned look, realized that she was a little stunned just now, and sorted out her thoughts and looked at Yan Jingshu.
"What is my aunt thinking? I just called you several times and didn't reply. ”
Aunt Jiang smiled gently, "I didn't think about anything, but there were some trivial things, what did you say?" ”
"I said, next month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's time to cut winter clothes, Qingli didn't catch up with the autumn clothes cut, and now I'm still wearing the clothes of spring chess, and now my body shape is the same as last year's, I can also wear last year's clothes, it's better to do a few less this year, and the rest of the good materials are for them to make a body, what does my aunt think?"
"Okay, Ming'er is all right, and I will discuss it with my wife." Aunt Jiang responded to Yan Jingshu with a smile, stretched out her hand to stroke the long hair behind her back, and handed over the peeled nuts in her hand, "It's the last plate, and if there is more, there will be internal heat." ”
"Well, my aunt will eat some too." Yan Jingshu grabbed the nuts and put them in Aunt Jiang's hands, she looks like a very similar Aunt Jiang, with white skin and clean face, because the sun is quite abundant, the two of them sit under the trees in the courtyard, the grass and trees are withering in autumn, and the growth is not as lush as in summer, the sunlight is slightly sprinkled on Yan Jingshu's body through the branches and leaves, like starlight, Yan Jingshu, who is lined by things around her, is very quiet, and it is not an exaggeration to be a housewife with this temperament, thinking of this, Aunt Jiang's heart can't help but move.
"Sister Shu has grown up." Aunt Jiang sighed with emotion in her words.
"As soon as the winter is over, my daughter will be seventeen."
"It's time to talk about it." If it weren't for the delay of the previous national funeral, Sister Shu'er's qualifications would have been able to settle down before she was married, she was still sad in the past, but now it seems to be a blessing, not only let Sister Shu stay by her side for two more years, but also let her pay more attention to her and prevent her from being unladylike.
"Auntie, what do you say?" Yan Jingshu's cheeks turned red, and she glanced at Aunt Jiang with some disgust. Yan Jingshu acts indifferently on weekdays, but after all, she is a girl's family, and she has never discussed the issue of marriage leave with the Jiang family before, and now she is a little ashamed to mention it rashly.
"Don't blame my aunt for being talkative, it's also when I'm old, your grandmother told me a few years ago that she wanted you to learn to take care of the house with your wife, although it was delayed later, but you should have learned a lot by your grandmother's side these days, and these things always have to be talked about." Aunt Jiang was able to think of being in-law with the Ji family, and it was also because of Mrs. Yan's attitude.
Gaomen everyone also attaches great importance to the teaching of concubines, even if they are concubines, they also represent the face of the family, but most of the people's requirements for concubines are limited to their conduct without mistakes, of course, there are also people who teach concubines to specialize in leisure and ingenuity, only to seek excellence in talent, like the old lady proposed to let the concubine follow the master mother to practice housekeeping, although it is not the first one in the nobles of Zhongjing, but it can be regarded as one of the few. She didn't simply think that this was because Mrs. Yan loved Yan Jingshu, and she must have hoped for such a thing.
"Grandmother mentions you, you have to keep it in mind, my aunt has no ability, and my aunt can't help you if she doesn't understand those things." The tone of his voice was a little sad.
Feeling Aunt Jiang's depressed mood, Yan Jingshu took the opportunity to put her head on her lap, "Listen to Auntie." ”
Stroked the soft hair of the daughter in her arms, "Tell my aunt, what kind of man does Sister Shu like?" ”
"Auntie, here you go again! Are you going to shame me today? ”
"Why do I want to be ashamed of you, but I just discuss it with you, Sister Shu is so good-looking, my aunt is curious about what kind of man she likes."
Yan Jingshu blushed and thought to herself for a while, "Hmm... I don't care that he's the dragon and phoenix among people, just a little good conduct, like Daddy. ”
"Aren't you afraid of your father on weekdays?"
"It's different, my daughter is the eldest daughter, and when I see my father, I naturally have to obey the rules, my daughter knows etiquette, and my father is also happy."
"Hahaha, it's still Sister Shu'er who is sensible." Yan Bocheng's voice sounded at the gate of the courtyard, and I don't know when Yan Bocheng came to the Chunsheng Courtyard, dressed in pale green clothes, standing at the entrance of the courtyard like a pine, looking at the mother and daughter sitting at the stone table with a smile.
When the two saw Yan Bocheng in the courtyard, they hurriedly got up and saluted him
"I've seen my lord/father."
Yan Bocheng walked over and hugged the two of them and faced Yan Jingshu
"I had something to deal with yesterday, so I didn't have time to come over, so I'm here to see you today."
"Lao's father is worried, and his daughter is fine." Yan Jingshu's cheeks were red, not only did she just discuss the marriage leave with her aunt, but also the embarrassment of being bumped into by her father, she had never shown her love for her father in her days, she knew that as the eldest daughter, she had not snuggled up to her father like Yan Jingyuan since she could remember, and she was bumped into by her father like this today, it was really embarrassing.
Yan Bocheng didn't care, he reached out and patted Yan Jingshu's back with a loving face, "That's good, I also brought some medicine to replenish the body, I have asked Dr. Hou, let my aunt boil it for you later, the weather is getting cooler, you are weak, pay attention." Limber..."
"Yes." Yan Bocheng was dressed in dark cloth behind him, hunched over and handed the black lacquered wooden box in his hand to Xiangqi.
"Thank you, father."
"Okay, let's stop blowing the wind outside, let's go into the house and say." Yan Bocheng took a step and walked towards the house.
This side is a happy scene, and the Qingyun Courtyard on the other side of the Yan Mansion is another scene.
"Mother, why did you talk to your father like that just now, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we quarreled when we came back? Now Daddy must have gone to Aunt Jiang's. Yan Jingyuan said to Zhao with some dissatisfaction.
"No problem." Even if she goes to Aunt Jiang's place, an aunt will not be good. What made her angry was Yan Bocheng's attitude towards her just now, she knew that the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, how could they think of arguing with their husbands.
Yesterday she just came back to deal with the file, although it is easy to deal with, but in the end it took some effort before, originally thought that she could come back and talk to her husband at night, but she didn't expect that Yan Bocheng stayed in the front yard last night, she knew that he was busy with official business, and she didn't care about the difference this night, but just now it was just mentioned that Brother Shi followed his uncle to go through the experience, he was so angry and quarreled with her, now that my brother has been promoted, Brother Shi is also about to enter the office soon in the year of the crown, what is wrong with following his uncle's experience? Does he still look down on his origins?
Thinking of this, the Zhao family twisted the handkerchief in his hand fiercely, yes, her Zhao family is not as famous as the Yan family, and when she got married, she heard people tease her in private, saying that she had climbed the high branches, but now that her brother has been promoted, and he is in the prime of life, he will not stop here, what does he have to look down on himself? And the old lady's words yesterday, she didn't let herself know the overall situation, why did she say that? I'm afraid that I also think that my small family is not the overall situation!
"Mother! I've said so much, why don't you ignore me! Yan Jingyuan saw that her mother said, "It's okay", so the old monk sat there like a calm person, and she was so anxious that she couldn't do it, "I didn't say how about Daddy going to Aunt Jiang, I mean that you finally came back, and you can't quarrel with Daddy!" ”
"How not?" Zhao still held his breath in his heart.
"You made my father angry, and my grandmother naturally got angry when she heard about it, we just came back, in case..." Yan Jingyuan was afraid of being sent to Zhuangzi again, although Zhuangzi is said to be an industry of Yanfu, but in the end it is not as comfortable as Yanfu, the place is remote, and the people are also barbaric.
"What are you afraid of? A trip to Zhuangzi will wear out your temperament? Zhao glanced at Yan Jingyuan and made her speechless.
"I..."
"What does the concubine of the Yan Mansion look like like she is so unstable." Guessing what Yan Jingyuan was thinking, he sighed in his heart and felt that his tone was too cold and hard, and he slowed down, "Don't worry, it's just that it's an unpleasant quarrel with your father, and your grandmother won't intervene." "It's also to blame that she was a little radical just now, and lost her mind, yesterday the old lady just handed over the housekeeping to her, and she made a fuss today with the news that the husband and wife were not harmonious, and she lost her mind a little when things went smoothly these days, and she was reckless.
After being comforted by Zhao, Yan Jingyuan calmed down, and also felt that she was a little rude, but she was still a little anxious in her heart, "But Daddy's face just now is not good." ”
Zhao Shi thought for a moment, "You go and watch Zhuqing cook a pot of tea, and send it to your father later." "It's still early now, Yan Bocheng always goes back to the study to deal with the affairs of the meeting before going to bed, and let's talk about it later.
"Got it, mother." Yan Jingyuan obediently responded.
Zhao thought about it a few times, how to make Yan Bocheng erase his prejudice against Zhao? Let him see Zhao's abilities
"Mother Li, you go and wait at the door, if Brother Shi comes back, let him come to me first." She has married to be a wife of the Yan family, she is not only thinking about her mother's family, in the future, her brother and brother will enter the office, and Sister Yuan will also marry a wife, although the Yan family is now a famous family, but if there is a strong lease icing on the cake, he will be immeasurably beautiful.
"Yes."
As the sun grows west, the autumn sunset gilts the entire Zhongjing with a layer of gold.
"Is there something wrong with my sister?" After dispersing school, as soon as he entered Yan Mansion, Yan Chunan was called over by Tinghe, and on weekdays, Yan Meng knew that he had a heavy workload, and it was when he came to see Yan Meng that she rarely saw her take the initiative to find herself.
"Do you still have to find a reason for my sister to find my brother to eat together?" Yan Meng was a little confused when he saw Yan Chunan's novel appearance.
"Not really, but I think it's fresh." Yan Chunan said truthfully.
Yan Meng thought in his heart, in the past, Yan Meng was cautious, and since Yan Chunan went to the school for fear of disturbing his tranquility, he rarely took the initiative to find him to play.
