Chapter 194: The Third Master of Yan who is remembered
Just when Xu Yu and Yan Xiong were talking in the front yard for a thousand taels of silver for the white eunuch, a group of well-dressed women with pearls and emerald hair were bowing down to Huang Wei'er Fu.
"The women's exhibition bag (so-and-so) clan, meet the new lady of the decree."
Huang Wei'er, who was seven months pregnant, sat in the center of the hall with a bulging belly, served by Bai Zhi and a few other maids, and hurriedly spoke when she saw the women saluting.
"Everyone, hurry up and excuse me."
"Mrs. Xie."
The women responded, and under the leadership of the county magistrate's wife Zhan Bao, they got up one after another, and Huang Weier hurriedly ordered the maid to sit on tea for the women.
After everyone sat down, Huang Wei'er smiled slightly, her red lips opened lightly, and her white finger pointed to her stomach: "My body is inconvenient, I was delayed in the back for a while just now, and I didn't treat the guests well, I hope you Haihan." ”
"Where, where."
Zhan Bao, as the highest status among women, was the first to take over the conversation.
"It's not easy to conceive, the second grandmother's body is important, we won't get in the way when we wait, not to mention that there is a big grandmother to talk to us."
Huang Wei'er nodded and looked at Yan Zhen's wife, who was also her concubine Zhang, who was sitting on the side.
"There's a sister-in-law."
"Hey, the family doesn't talk to each other."
Zhang waved her hand, she and the loyal and honest Yan Zhen are very compatible, as if she was born with a simple temperament, speaking and doing things steadily and gently, and has the demeanor of an eldest sister-in-law.
Huang Weier likes this concubine very much, the relationship between the two is very good, and she has never lost her temper once.
Of course, there is also the reason why the Zhang family is afraid of Yan Kui and has no intention of competing with Huang Weier, and the strict jurisdiction of the Chen family's mother-in-law also has a lot to do with it...............
……………
Huang Weier and Zhang's talked, leaving the women aside, making Zhan Bao and the others very embarrassed, but Huang and Zhang still didn't notice, and the atmosphere in the whole hall was extremely strange.
In the end, Huang Weier couldn't stand it with the previous grandmother, and gently pulled Huang Weier's sleeve, and then she remembered that there were still a lot of people in the house.
“………”
Huang Weier looked up at the women who were looking at her, and wanted to say something, but she was a little short of words.
In fact, it's no wonder that Huang Weier doesn't know how to deal with this kind of scene, before she got married, she was the daughter of a tofu vendor, and she didn't like to deal with people, she didn't go out much, she helped at home every day, and she was an out-and-out housemaid.
After getting married, Huang Weier and Yan Kui's honeymoon was not over, Yan Kui went out with the army, her husband was newly married and was going out on the expedition, how could she have any good mood to have fun, in addition to chatting with Chen's every day, she was to be a female celebrity, research recipes or something.
Finally, a month or two later, Huang Weier's mood improved, and Chen also planned to take her out to socialize and see the world, but she was diagnosed with pregnancy again.
Later, because of the geranium during pregnancy, Huang Weier has been busy with the fetus for most of the next half year, except for her mother Dong and two sisters who often come to see her, Huang Weier rarely has the opportunity to see outsiders.
Coupled with her identity as a public enemy of Qingyuan, no one came to the door to flatter her, so Huang Weier was very unfamiliar with dealing with human affairs and social contacts, so she could only cast a gaze from the Zhang family for help.
……………
However, Huang Weier doesn't understand this, and the Zhang family is not good at dealing with the wives of these big eunuchs.
But fortunately, she had gone out with Chen to see some of the world before, and she was somewhat stronger than Huang Weier, so when she saw Huang Weier asking for help, Zhang could only stand up.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a group of people outside the door hugging a spirited old lady coming in, her face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly got up to greet her: "Mother, you are here." ”
Zhang's move, everyone else in the room also saw the old lady, and even Huang Weier got up.
"I've seen the old lady."
"Sit down, sit down, don't get up."
Chen stopped, beckoned everyone to sit down with a smile on his face, and then came to sit next to Huang Wei'er and said to everyone with some apologies.
"This ...... I am ashamed to say that the angel came suddenly, and our family was not prepared in advance, so we hurriedly greeted the holy decree, and hurriedly greeted the angel, and we were so busy calling the angel that we were in a mess up and down, and even my old woman's feet did not touch the ground.
There may be some negligence and slow treatment of the ladies, and the old body apologizes to everyone for my second daughter-in-law, and I hope you will understand. ”
The women didn't even dare to say it, and took the opportunity to praise Chen and Huang Wei'er's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law a few words, which made Chen laugh and laugh a few words, and picked up a few familiar women to ask a few words, and between the questions and answers, the atmosphere in this room slowly became warmer.
When Huang Weier and Zhang watched their mother-in-law chatting with the women, they had been firmly controlling the scene, generous and decent, calm and relaxed, and couldn't help but admire and be a little puzzled at the same time.
Obviously, the Chen family is also like them, born from the grassroots, and they are uneducated, how can they be comfortable with this kind of scene............
…………
As everyone knows, Chen is different from the two of them, although Chen has been a peasant woman for most of her life, she has little knowledge, but she has a lot of scheming, and more importantly, she has courage and self-confidence, dares to speak, is not afraid of people, can stand up to any scene, and will not show timidity.
Over time, Chen's naturally worked out.
Even in front of a group of well-read and well-informed ladies of large families since childhood, she can lead the dominant position, which makes many people admire, resulting in Chen's stroke rating among the gentry and daughters of large families in Qingyuan.
It is said that although this old lady is from the countryside, she has powerful means and scheming, and she can be the wife of the head of the family in a big family, no wonder she can teach such an excellent son as Yan Kui............
Zhang also asked Chen for tips on getting along with these big gentry and women, and Chen told him the truth.
said that when he talked and chatted with these people, he treated them as village women who used to gossip together in Daliu Village, but the content of the conversation was more profound, the things involved were more complicated, and the words used were more elegant, and everything else was the same.
She has the son of a general to rely on, no one dares to think with her, and the rest will follow the nonsense, talk more about what you know, and mix less with what you don't know, and when you are familiar with it, you naturally understand how to deal with these people.
For Chen's words, Zhang didn't know how to do it, and tried to learn from it, but she was really not a person who could deal with people, and in the end she didn't give up.
And the Chen family relied on that set of tricks to meet the relatives of the official eunuchs and gentry in Qingyuan, so it was not comfortable.
……………
East Courtyard, Main Hall
Chen still chatted happily with the women, while Huang Weier had already retreated to the room to rest due to physical reasons, and only Zhang was by her side, earnestly studying her mother-in-law's exquisite social demeanor.
As he was trying to learn, Zhang suddenly felt that someone was secretly looking at him, and when he looked around, he saw a young girl with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes smiling at him.
Zhang's acquaintance with this woman, seems to be the eldest lady of the Jiang family, the Jiang family is a well-known family in Qingyuan, mainly engaged in the timber business, the late old lady Jiang, who was a county official in several counties of Tong'an before his death, and now although the old lady is gone, he has left a very deep connection for the Jiang family in Tong'an.
Not counting the official eunuchs such as Yan Mansion and Zhanyong, with the gentry and large families alone, the Jiang family can almost rank among the top three in Qingyuan.
And this Miss Jiang family, Zhang has also heard the reputation of the other party, she is good at music, and she has studied under the first pianist in Yongzhou, and she is a rare talented girl.
However, although this Miss Jiang is quite famous, she has never been married, and she has been staying at home when she is more than nineteen, which has faintly caused a lot of discussion outside, but she still does not listen to foreign affairs, and the Jiang family does not seem to be in a hurry about it.
Many people say that the Jiang family wants to use this eldest lady to climb a high branch for the family
However, Zhang didn't feel anything about it, nodded and smiled at Miss Jiang, and turned to Chen's side, but what Zhang didn't see was that the moment she turned her head, Miss Jiang's eyes looked at her extremely deep and meaningful.
…………
As mentioned earlier, Miss Jiang is highly skilled and talented, she is undoubtedly a proud woman.
In fact, from the moment Jiang Qin was sensible, both she and the elders in the family thought that she would marry an extremely good husband and spend this life noble and rich.
Although Jiang Qin later learned that the elders of the Jiang family had said similar things to every daughter of the Jiang family, it did not shake her idea of marrying a noble son-in-law in the slightest.
Even as he grew older, Jiang Qin's goal dropped from the princes and nobles to the children of the eunuchs, and from the younger brother of the eunuchs to the young students who were expected to take the imperial examination, but he still did not find a suitable candidate.
Now that her younger sisters are getting engaged, Miss Jiang finally can't sit still.
She originally wanted to find a young master with a similar family background in Qingyuan to marry, but because she heard that Huang Weier was ordered in the plum garden, she suddenly thought carefully.
Huang Weier is now sick and precarious, once she dies, the young Yan Kui will definitely have to remarry another wife, and when the time comes, it will be a good opportunity for herself.
Although the steproom is not good, as soon as you get married, you can get a four-grade fate, and it is said that it is a continuation of the string, even if it is worth being a concubine.........
What's more, if Huang Weier dies, eighty percent of the children in her belly can't be saved, then Yan Kui has no wife, no children and no concubines, marrying such a husband, although it is a second marriage, it is more comfortable than the first marriage, not to mention the scenery of being a general's wife.
Thinking of this, Miss Jiang was really moved, however, when she begged her mother to take her to Yan's mansion, and after seeing Huang Wei'er's true face, she suddenly felt a little unconfident.
Such a stunning beauty, even if she dies, I'm afraid she can't beat her!
……………
From the beginning of Huang Weier's appearance, Jiang Qin sat next to her mother, observing Huang Weier's smile, but the more she looked at it, the more desperate she became.
She also thought she was a beauty before, but in the face of Huang Weier's level of alluring the city and the country, she couldn't help but feel ashamed, and secretly suspected that with her appearance, I am afraid that she would not be able to enter the eyes of Yan Kui, who had been raised by Huang Weier.
Continuation?
I'm afraid of the difficulty of being a concubine.........
Miss Jiang was a little sluggish by the blow, until Huang Weier left, she inadvertently saw Zhang's family, and suddenly came to her senses.
Yes, who said that he must marry Yan Kui.
Marrying Yan Kui's brother, isn't he still rising.
Jiang Qin had also heard before that Yan Kui was a righteous person and was very good to his subordinates, not to mention his own brothers.
In the future, there is such an elder brother covering, even if he is not angry, it is not a big problem to mix with a six- or seven-grade official, even if it is not good, it is no problem to be a rich man who has no worries about food and clothing, and has been rich all his life.
The more Miss Jiang thought about it, the more she felt that this was feasible, and began to secretly plan.
The three brothers of the Yan family, the eldest and Yan Kui are all married, and now it seems that only the third Yan Xiong is not married.
However, the third master of the Yan family seems to be just sixteen years old, a little younger than himself, no matter what, the female junior holds the gold brick, this age is a good sign.
Well, I'll discuss it with my mother when I go back and see if it can be a marriage........."
"Ahh
Just when Miss Jiang began to calculate, Yan Xiong, who was drinking with Xu Yu in the front yard, suddenly couldn't help but sneeze a few times, rubbed his nose, Yan Sanye reached out and grabbed the brocade clothes on his body, and muttered,
"It's strange, why has the moon passed, and the sky is still so cold, I have to go to the White God Doctor to see it later, don't be caught in the cold."
