Chapter 38: A Marriage Contract
Yan Luoyi couldn't have imagined that the two places that had made an exception in recent years did not have their own. The blow was devastating, and it made her shameless to go back to her home.
Grandpa Xi's gaze swept over, and then he understood. This young lady is good everywhere, and it can be seen that there is a solid foundation for translation skills.
But it's bad......
"Yan Luoyi, do you know why you lost the election?"
The emperor's voice was deep, and he looked at Yan Luoyi with anger in his eyes.
Yan Luoyi couldn't care about the etiquette in front of the palace at the moment, and hurriedly sought a reasonable explanation when she heard the words. Maybe when I go back, I can have a good explanation.
"Please also ask the emperor to speak up."
There was a hint of implication in her eyes.
"At first, Father-in-law Xi told me a thing or two about your arguments, which is actually good. I read it all with anticipation, only to see this sentence at the end of the article. ”
The emperor's voice brewed a storm, which made the candidates hold their breath and stare at it, wondering what Yan Luoyi had written, which actually provoked Long Yan to be furious.
"If the position of translator is given priority to ability, you will not agree, only a sophist, who knows his way, is the long-term survival strategy."
Hiss –
The group of candidates looked frightened, but they didn't expect this Yan Luoyi to dare to say anything.
Yan Luoyi was shocked when she heard this, and she was busy explaining that she had been wronged. It's a pity that the handwriting is hers, and the title at the end of the article is also hers, no matter how much she justifies it, she can't exonerate the crime.
"Could it be that this is how the Yan family taught you to understand the definition of the position of translator? It's ridiculous that I trust me so much and use my ability to make personal gains! ”
The emperor threw Yan Luoyi's examination papers from the palace, where can the superior see that his subordinates are disloyal and have hidden evil intentions? If Yan Luoyi is really hired as a translator today, I am afraid that there will be disputes between countries in the future!
Yan Minglan listened from beginning to end, and at this moment, he saw that the emperor had the residual anger that implicated the entire Yan family.
She hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Yan Luoyi is still young, and there is indeed something inappropriate about her biased opinions. But father, the entire Yan family is loyal and conscientious, and has been traveling around to negotiate for several years for the great cause of the country. Your Majesty's merits and hard work are the clearest, and please be clear! ”
If it is because of a Yan Luoyi that shakes the trust of the entire Yan family's bloodline in the emperor's heart, the consequences are really unimaginable!
When the emperor heard Yan Minglan mention Yan Qing, his anger eased slightly. I have to say that in his heart, Yan Qing is a well-deserved translator, with ability and character, willing to endure hardships, and dedicated to giving priority to the interests of the country.
With these, he did not jointly strip Yan Minglan of his qualifications.
"You have a heart, get up first. This matter is borne by Yan Luoyi alone, and the family should take the responsibility of re-teaching. I will ask Gonggong Xi to follow Yan Luoyi to his house to announce the decree. ”
There is no need to be deserved, the emperor is suspicious and wants to give his family a deterrent. Yan Minglan didn't dare to contradict it again, so she could only worry about it.
A palace examination and assessment have been disturbed, and Yan Luoyi followed Xigong with a dirty face. Other candidates came to congratulate Yan Minglan, and on the day the exam papers were announced, they would definitely study hard.
Yan Minglan was a little embarrassed, and waved her hand to express her humble opinion, which is not worth mentioning. This kind of modesty is another emotion in the eyes of the candidates, not arrogant, relaxed, and respectful.
By the afternoon, the news that the interpreter had chosen to set the tone caused a sensation throughout the country. Countless people eagerly went to Yanfu to give gifts, and the endless stream of gift boxes almost broke the threshold of Yanfu, and the little maids and maids were busy with a mess, not to mention Yan Minglan, who was the main owner.
"The Yan family is really different, congratulations, congratulations!"
"The little girl is not angry, and she will have to rely on the Yan official family to rely on one or two in the future."
"Where, where."
Yan Minglan's face was almost stiff with laughter for half a day, and she was almost numb in return. The joy of the big house here spread to the other two rooms, and some people were really happy and some were sad.
Aunt Zhang has just recovered from her serious illness, and her speaking strength has gradually slowed down a lot: "You said that the current one, the three rooms and four rooms are in recession, and the dead girl in the big room has entered the translator again...... It's over, we're completely finished. ”
"What nonsense, Sifang won't give in."
In the name of visiting Aunt Zhang, Aunt Liu passed on the news. was already anxious, and when he heard this, he almost didn't get angry on the spot.
Aunt Zhang saw that Aunt Liu's face was terrible, and she didn't say any more meaningless words. The two were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was so solemn that they couldn't breathe.
"I heard...... The emperor gave the big house a lot of rewards. ”
"Bang ——!" With a bang, the tea cup was thrown out by Aunt Liu and shattered in response. Aunt Zhang couldn't help but just say half of her words, and quickly silenced her.
It's really a pot that can't be opened! What to do to fuel her arrogance!
Aunt Liu's eyes were red and she glared at Aunt Zhang. She knew in her heart that no matter how much she didn't want to admit it, Aunt Zhang's words were also true. The more this is the case, the more piercing it is.
"You have a good rest, and I'll come to see you one day."
Aunt Liu didn't want to stay any longer, and walked out of the third room with anger.
Looking at the direction of people coming and going, isn't it the official eunuch who congratulated Yan Minglan on his election.
Seeing that the Shangshu Mansion, the General's Mansion, and the Prime Minister's Mansion all sent people to congratulate her, Aunt Liu gritted her silver teeth again, and she was jealous.
Back in the fourth room, Yan Ruoxi was crying. She told Aunt Liu that recently, the daughters of various provinces have been talking to Yan Minglan, and many talents are also curious to watch. At this moment, the limelight was immeasurable, which made her feel so aggrieved.
The two mothers and daughters hugged their heads and cried to each other, both feeling that their lives were miserable. Aunt Liu was unwilling in her heart, so she could only ask Yan Ruoxi to endure this period of time for the time being.
"Let's watch, as soon as we enter the court, it is as deep as the sea, and Yan Minglan is a thorn in the head, just starting out. I don't believe that her official career will be smooth sailing. ”
Aunt Liu reported the most malicious speculation, which resonated in Yan Ruoxi's heart.
"What do you mean?"
"Sanfang will wait and see what happens, and as soon as Yan Minglan stabs Lou Zi, we will immediately attack."
Aunt Liu's voice was deep, as if with endless thoughts.
All parties are about to move, and this time Yan Minglan won the position of translator in one fell swoop, which has benefits, but also risks.
And in the palace here, Xigong has already announced his return and is resuming his life in front of the emperor. Speaking of the pale and complicated demeanor of the family, it is quite smacking.
"The miscellaneous family took Yan Luoyi over, and the lady and the old lady were overjoyed, thinking that Yan Luoyi was elected, and they were in a hurry to give the miscellaneous family a gift money."
When Gonggong Xi said this, the emperor's face became a little colder.
The miscellaneous family refused, and let them listen to the instructions. After the announcement of the miscellaneous family, the wife of the Yan family almost fainted, and the family was in chaos, but I am afraid that the atmosphere is sluggish now. ”
The Xigong Biography is nothing more than Yan Luoyi's arrogance and impatience, and he is not suitable for the position of translator, and he hopes that his family will not fall behind in teaching temperament while paying attention to the cultivation of talents. Otherwise, it is difficult to take on the heavy responsibility, and it is the fault of the family.
At this moment, the emperor is looking at the character evaluation table of Yan Luoyi's three assessments, except for the second time when the examiner gave you an excellent one, the others are all big red crosses.
"Father-in-law, you don't think about this girl either?"
After all, this table is in charge of the third level by Gonggong Xi, and then comprehensive statistics are carried out, and now it is understandable for the emperor to ask.
"Miss Yan Luoyi is indeed talented in interpreting officers, but the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and going to sea is not a child's play on paper. The miscellaneous family judged by this, and felt that Miss Yan Luoyi's heart still needed to be polished a little more. ”
Xigong is an old man who has been following the emperor's side, and his words are very important and he has some opinions. The emperor heard such a reason, and there was no room for negotiation when the matter was decided.
Don't talk about the bad Yan Luoyi, the emperor asked how Yan Minglan's condition was.
"Everything is fine, the same mentality as before."
Xigong told the truth, and the emperor nodded with satisfaction, becoming more and more satisfied with Yan Minglan. is not impatient or impatient, and if any good or bad is not revealed, he may become a good translator like Yan Qing in the future.
"Now that Yan Minglan, that girl, is it almost time to make it?"
Cattle and horses are not related, the emperor asked lightly.
Father-in-law Xi's heart moved, and he realized: "Back to Your Majesty, there are still a few months left, and it's time."
The emperor has a good impression of Yan Minglan and has a heart. Now that I have a mind, I naturally let my father-in-law greet him. Let's just say that the family affair that I set with Yan Qing before should be put on the itinerary and it is time to fulfill the contract.
"Let Jing Xuan also pay attention, don't object anymore."
"Yes."
Xigong was ordered to retreat and walked all the way to the northwest of the palace. The prince who has not been rewarded in the capital still has no ability to stand on his own, and he still lives in the palace at the moment.
Wei Chi Jingxuan was now discussing the next plan with the strategist, and the maid outside hurriedly came to report, saying that the emperor's will was coming.
"Father, at this time?"
Wei Chi Jingxuan and the strategist glanced at each other, and they both saw through the guesses from the other party's eyes.
Could it be ......?
Wei Chi Jingxuan thought of the recent fact that the translator was in full swing and the Yan family's concubine was shining, and Zou frowned.
"Three princes, the overall situation is important."
The strategist just reminded him lightly, and Wei Chi Jingxuan's disgust was immediately hidden, and his ease of letting go of his emotions made people feel emotional.
Knowing that now was not the time to discuss matters again, Wei Chi Jingxuan asked the strategist to go out of the secret passage and face the Xi Gonggong who came alone.
"My father-in-law came here today, what is the matter?"
Yu Chi Jingxuan's eyes swept away the holy decree in his father-in-law's hand, and his essence flashed.
"The miscellaneous family specially informed the third prince of His Majesty's signal, and I hope you can act in accordance with the order."
Father-in-law Xi was respectful, but even so, it was not wrong to fall into the impatience of Wei Chi Jingxuan.
It seems that this promised marriage contract still has to be grinded.
Wei Chi Jingxuan didn't understand what the emperor thought, the past set of relatives was placed on him, if the Yan family steward was still there, and the Yan Mansion could still be a help, maybe there was still value in considering the conclusion.
But what is the use of the Yan Mansion presided over by only one daughter's family at the moment?
Wei Chi Jingxuan weighed the pros and cons, and became even more dissatisfied in his heart. You must know that the battle for the throne is changing rapidly, and he doesn't need anyone who is dragging his feet and things tied together.
"My father has a heart, but marriage is not a child's play after all, and I don't know if Miss Yan has any statement."
Yu Chi Jingxuan said lightly and asked about his father-in-law.
"Your Majesty hasn't informed Miss Yan yet, but the emperor has made up his mind, and he hopes that the third prince will take the initiative more."
This is a bit of a rush to the shelves, and it is difficult for strong people.
Wei Chi Jingxuan sneered in his heart, but his face was silent. Now that the emperor has made a clear request, where is there room for him to refuse?
