Episode 049: Unleashing an Iron Fist (Part I)
This matter starts with Yan Leyun.
Not long ago, Yan Leshi persuaded her little sister to give up the entrance examination and asked her to implement the marriage first. Yan Leyun is talented and dull, and she has no show in the city, but fortunately she has a good skin, and she can be regarded as a dignified female monarch.
At first, listening to the second sister persuade herself like this, Yan Leyun was undecided. Although she had long wanted to give up the entrance examination, after all, she had wasted so many years for this, and if she really gave up, she felt that it would be a pity; Moreover, the Lang Qing that Yan Leskong was looking for for her was either a widower or a stepmother, and she was very disgusted and resistant. Later, thanks to the persuasion of the eldest female officer next to her, Liluo, to explain the advantages and avoid the disadvantages, she moved her mind.
She thought about it for a few days, and suddenly dreamed that she was studying with a group of little girls in the school at home. Mr. Wu asked everyone about the idea of governing the world together, and they could all say "yes", even the youngest Liu Xuanwei could tell her own opinions, but she was hesitant for a long time and still couldn't answer the idea. Mr. Wu was furious in public, and all the women who sat down laughed loudly, and she was ashamed that she wanted to get into a crack in the ground. She ran away from the door in embarrassment, but she didn't know where she had gone, and she tripped over a stone without paying attention to her feet...... Deng Shi woke up with a scream, and his forehead and back were already soaked, only to know that it was just a dream.
But this dream also prompted her to obey the advice of her second sister, just like when she listened to her second sister's words and went to Rongrong and took the entrance examination. This time, she obeyed the arrangement of her second sister again, gave up the entrance examination to complete the marriage, and stayed in the house to help take care of the family business.
After talking, Yan Leyun mustered up the courage to go to Muli Building, and made a real deal with her second sister, and Yan Leyun's lifelong event was put on the agenda.
Yan Leyun wanted to fight for some choices for herself, so she said to the second sister: "Mastermother, I am old and weak, I think of the two Langqing you chose for me before, they are afraid that they don't look down on me, right?" After all, the Liu family and the Tang family are both big clans, how can we Yanmen afford to climb high? ”
Yan Leshi glanced at her, and had already seen through the little sister, and asked pretendedly: "According to the little sister's intentions, but if you have a heart, you belong to Langqing?" ”
"That's not true, how could the second sister ask like that?" Yan Leyun seemed to be hiding something.
"Little sister is thinking about the Huang family, right?" Yan Oxfam understated.
Yan Leyun was scared out of a cold sweat in vain, how could the matter between her and the Huang family be known by the second sister? Obviously he has been very careful and confidential, how can he still be known by Yan Leshi? Who's behind it?
Yan Leshi was crooked on a drunken man's couch and sneered: "What kind of vision is the little sister? In the final analysis, the eldest man of the Huang family is just a distant relative of the same clan of Concubine Huang, and he is swaggering and deceiving in Fengcheng, Kyoto under the banner of Concubine Huang. Do you think that if you catch up with their Huang family, you will be able to become relatives with His Royal Highness the Prince? ”
"Little sister doesn't dare."
"That Huang Guirensheng has a straight nose and a good appearance, but he is only in his early twenties at the moment, why do you think he has a secret affection for you?"
"I ...... We are ......"
"He just thinks that our Yan family has a bit of stinky money, and he just wants to make a fortune from you!"
Yan Leshi saved face for Yan Leyun, and couldn't bear to say: "You are so useless, why would that beautiful man throw himself into you?" But she couldn't help it, Yan Leyun was her own sister after all. Of course, she really probed that Huang Rengui'er behind her back, and she was really not a candidate for Lang Qing to marry into the door.
Yan Leyun sighed, as if Yan Leshi had cut off her last hope.
"According to the second sister's intentions, where should the younger sister go?" Yan Leyun completely succumbed.
Yan Leshi also sighed deeply, "The two people I mentioned to you before, one is Tang Yihan, the youngest son of the Tang family's second aunt, and the other is Liu Lian, the stepson of Master Liu, the imperial historian. ”
Scold! It's not the widower who raised it! Yan Leyun was desperate in her heart, but she didn't seem to have a choice. She had no choice but to accept her fate!
"I'll ask someone to go around the two houses tomorrow to see how they talk." Yan Lexex looked into the distance, as if he was playing a big game of chess.
Yan Leshi's actions were very fast, she asked someone to go to the Tang family first, after all, the Tang family is the largest family in the Eastern Liang Kingdom. The Tang family is the maternal family of the empress's biological father. The empress's biological father, Tang Qing, has passed away and is the brother of Tang Yu, the head mother of the Tang family. The Tang family's housemother also has a younger sister named Tang Rong, and her youngest son is Tang Yihan.
Since Tang Yihan's wife passed away, Tang Rong took the child back to live in the house. He was only in his early twenties, and because he was not born well, no one came to propose marriage again. finally came to a few families to say goodbye, either the family is too close or the wife is too old. After all, it is his own son, and in Tang Rong's eyes, Tang Yihan is naturally a treasure. But after all, he was born in such a rich family, and his temperament was inevitably a little arrogant, so his remarriage was a headache for Tang Rong.
When the Tang family heard that the little aunt of the Yan family was going to marry, they were very excited and happy. Although the Yan family is a little lower, it is the wife of the Nine Emperor Princes, and it is not a shame to say it. How could Tang Rong send someone to investigate carefully, only to know that this Yan Leyun was also a sick man. Whether she has an official or not is secondary to her, I am afraid that this Yan Leyun will not live long, if Tang Yihan marries, Yan Leyun will die again in a few years, and let Tang Yihan behave as a person? A Lang Qing killed two wives in just a few years? No, absolutely not!
After the Liu family also turned around, the person who asked came back and said that he was with Yan Leshi: Liu Xuande, the imperial historian, only has one daughter under his knees, called Liu Ying, who has long been married and has a daughter, and now his mother has a position. Since this stepson was brought back from her brother's house, he changed his surname to Liu Lian. This man's eight characters are very bad, and his mother and father are also his wife's master, which discourages everyone.
Liu Xuande is also a non-contentious and non-grabbing character, introverted and steady, and never gets involved in the dispute between party factions, it is not an exaggeration to say that she has a clean breeze on her sleeves. Liu Lian was raised in the house like this, but he was fine.
When the Liu family heard that the third aunt of the Yan family was going to marry a husband, they felt that it had nothing to do with their own family, and they thought that the Yan family would not find Liu Lian's body. didn't want anyone to come for Yan Leyun's matter, Liu Xuande frowned and was silent, thinking about it again and again, he couldn't agree. She thought that Liu Lian would eventually find a flat-headed family to marry, this Yanmen may be a cold door in the eyes of others, but in her eyes, it has become a noble house. Her daughter Liu Ying is looking for a husband who naturally has to be the right person, but this Liu Lian ......
Liu Xuande's concerns are not unreasonable, on the road of Liu Lian's search for a wife, he has already gone through all kinds of hardships, and in the end, even Liu Xuande and Liu Lian have given up looking at it and want to go with the flow. At this time, the Yan family came to the door again, which really broke the peace of the Liu family.
Yan Le understood the attitude of the two families, thanked the person who asked for it, and found two matchmakers who said they were close, and gave the two of them a lot of silver taels in advance. The two matchmakers understood the meaning immediately, and one of them was determined to do their best to achieve their long-cherished wish for the Yan family.
Yan Oxfam first told the matchmaker the details of the two families, and asked them to distinguish the inside story of the two families. The two matchmakers all pushed away the Tang family and chose the Liu family.
Yan Oxfam asked urgently, "What's the end?" ”
A matchmaker said: "Although the Tang Sect is high, there are many things, even if we promote marriage, I am afraid that there will be countless troubles in the future." The big clan has the rules of the big clan, not to mention that marrying the children and grandchildren of the Tang family's housewife is really not too welcome. ”
Another matchmaker said: "The Liu family's Lang Qing is not unbearable, and the difference is only on this birthday." If the two people match the eight characters, they are called a good couple, if the eight characters do not match, please ask the master to accumulate virtue and do good deeds to change, and the marriage is also considered to be immeasurable. ”
Yan Leshi understood after listening to it, no longer hesitated, and immediately wrote out Yan Leyun's birthday eight characters, and the two matchmakers took the eight characters and left immediately, which was worthy of two or three days, and brought back the news. It is also peculiar to say, this Yan Leyun's eight characters and Liu Lian's eight characters are not in conflict, and the two matchmakers and the old Taoist priest are one year younger, so that the two of them have become a match made in heaven.
Yan Lesam has always been vigorous and resolute, and the Yan family was all finalized, so she took the initiative to go to the door of the Liu family. The first time was to ask a friend to meet Liu Ying first, this Liu Ying is also in her thirties, and Yan Oxfam can't help her too much. In the past, the two of them were nodding friends, but this time they finally became familiar with each other through the introduction of friends.
Yan Le Shi Xiaozhi was moved by emotion and reason, took out Yan Leyun's birthday and handed it to Liu Ying, and explained that her little sister Yan Leyun was only slightly thin and had no serious illness, and Lang Zhong, who came to Kyoto to see Yan Leyun's illness, can testify. She saw that Liu Ying did not refute herself, and said that she had a large list of bride prices.
Liu Ying was greatly surprised when she heard this, knowing that she couldn't make decisions about this matter, and she had to ask her mother. Then he left Yan Leyun's birthday and asked Yan Leshi to wait for the letter later.
This Liu Ying conveyed Yan Leshi's meaning to Liu Xuande, and Liu Xuande was really amazed. She is in a high position, and although she is not in the same league as the traitors, she is not poor. Their Liu Mansion is also a well-known high-ranking family, but the bride price given by Yan Lessee is really rich, and Liu Xuande has to admire Yan Lesam. I never thought that this Yanmen would accumulate so much wealth in just over ten years, and it was really a big fortune! I made enough money earlier, but now I am using the lining to change face. First of all, the late young master married the ninth son of the empress, if their Liu family and the Yan family became in-laws, the door of this Yan Gate would naturally sit much firmer!
Liu Xuande called Liu Lian to his side, told him the truth, and asked him if he was willing to marry the Yan family? Liu Lian listened to the truth, and it was all up to his mother. Liu Xuande was afraid that Liu Lian would feel wronged, so he repeatedly asked him what he was thinking. Liu Lian sat down and thought about it, and finally spoke: "Mother, my son doesn't have any requirements, I just want to have an opportunity for me to take a look at the female monarch first, and I have a number in my heart, and it will be much more practical to marry in the past." ”
Liu Xuande heard that Liu Lian's request was not too much, so he asked Liu Ying to reply to Yan Leshi's words. I hope that Yan Oxfam can provide such an opportunity for the two. Yan Oxfam readily agreed on the spot.
"Yingjun doesn't know, I am an old friend of the host of Cambrian Temple, and my family has to donate some sesame oil there for many years to ensure the health of my family. If your brother doesn't dislike it, please deign to go to the Cambrian Temple, hide in that hidden place, I will take my little sister to incense, so that your brother will look carefully, how about Yingjun's mind? ”
Liu Ying applauded very much when she heard it, and the two agreed on a time at the moment, looking forward to seeing each other in the future.
