Volume 2 The Wind and Cloud Between the Rivers Chapter 205 The Goddaughter of the Xu Family
"My subordinates have something to report!" I don't know where a hidden guard came out.
The hidden guard who came out before frowned, a little displeased, every time there is a group of people in charge of the city lord, three dark and nine bright, he is on duty in the light, he is the leader of this group, the lord has a task to explain, naturally he comes forward to take over the task, and the hidden guard who came out at this time is responsible for hiding in the dark, and he must not come forward if he does not see the enemy, at this time he rashly appeared, it is a violation of the hidden guard regulations: "Yin Eleven, what are you doing?" ”
"The sovereign's questions can be answered by his subordinates."
"Oh?" Yan Chen nodded: "You say." ”
"Yesterday, I was in charge of duty in the Ming Department, and I saw the second prince and Erzhu Gongzi meet outside the palace, and the situation was a chance encounter, and the two chatted about Erzhu Gongzi's courtship."
"We are on duty, we are all by the side of the lord, and they meet outside the palace, how can you know?" The leader of the guard was a little dissatisfied.
"I can lip talk!" Yin Shiyi was not in a hurry, and said: "At that time, Erzhu Gongzi was about to leave, and the second prince met him, first of all, the two of them saluted, because of the sight problem, the subordinates could only see the lips of the second son. The second son asked first, where did the son of Weilan come from? After Erzhu Gongzi answered, the second son was very surprised, what he said, what did he say? Do you propose? The third sentence of the second son is, really? The fourth sentence of the second son, is my father agreeing? The fifth sentence is good, you will be my brother-in-law from now on. The sixth sentence is, is your sister okay? ……”
After replying, Yin Eleven bowed and said: "This matter is heard by the lord, since the subordinates know the situation, they must report it first, so as not to delay the lord's affairs, you can violate the regulations of hidden guards, and the crime of being invincible without permission, please punish the lord." ”
"Not guilty!" Yan Chen waved his hand and thought for a while: "Although you are not guilty, you will be punished, you will follow Erzhu Gongzi these days, if he has any changes, come directly to report!" ”
"Yes"
The corners of the hidden guard leader's mouth flashed with a hint of angle, where is this punishment, it is simply a reward, this hidden guard guards the lord, although it is glorious, but they are warriors who want to do errands outside, no matter the merit, it is good to see the outside world.
"Go down." Yan Chen smiled and waved his hand. He still believes what his hidden guard said, since Yan Wu did not deliberately inquire into the affairs of the inner courtyard, let him feel a lot more comfortable, he looked young, and it was actually time to consider the heir, several sons are adults, moral character, and basically can be seen, if it is said that Yan Wu'er's marriage is that the husband and wife do not agree, it is an exaggeration, but they express their own opinions, and what they really do not agree with is the issue of heirs.
According to the old Chinese customs, as long as it is the wife who is born is the son-in-law, the eldest lady born to the third Yanmeng, is the eldest son of the eight classics, but unfortunately after the second lady entered, Yanmeng is old, and he has a lot of complaints about the banquet Xu, which makes the banquet very displeased with him.
The old five banquet Qiang was born after the eldest lady entered the second lady, according to the idea of the banquet, from the time he was in Jinling, when he married the banquet Xu, the wife of the banquet family is the banquet Xu, although the banquet Qiang was born to the eldest lady, it should be a concubine, but the banquet Xu family is not allowed, she is only a flat wife in her life, and recognizes the eldest lady as the eldest sister of the wife, so the fifth banquet is also a son-in-law.
Whether the old five banquet is a concubine or not, it is not for the banquet
The problem, the biggest problem is the old fourth banquet Su.
Yan Xu believed that he and the eldest lady came back from the Taoist temple, and Fang was a flat wife, and Yan Su was conceived when he was in the Taoist temple, not a concubine, but a concubine. For this reason, Yan Xu is very dissatisfied, Yan Xu has only one son and one daughter, Yan Su and Yan Su'er are brothers and sisters of the same father and mother, so that Yan Xu has no son in law who can inherit the family business.
Yan Chen is bent on letting him and the son of Yan Xu inherit Yanhu, because in the door, Yan Su is much higher than his other brothers, in Hejian, which pays attention to bloodline, this is very advantageous, once the new heir of Yanhu has the bloodline of Qixia Xu, it is equivalent to having the collateral bloodline of the Xu family, and that level is not comparable to the three-hundred-year-old small family of the Hejian Yan family. On this issue, he didn't give in, so the fourth Yansu had the identity of a son-in-law on the genealogy.
But Yan Xu didn't seem to be interested in his son inheriting the Yanhu family business, so he let Yan Su go to Qixia School Palace to study and not return for several years, which made Yan Chen very annoyed.
Yan Xu's family sent his son to study, and agreed to marry his daughter to marry the unbearable Erzhu Ying, all for the sake of Yanhu's family business, Yan Yan didn't know, but the more this was the case, the more he felt indebted, this debt made him feel quite uncomfortable in his heart, as he became more and more powerful and controlled more and more things, he wanted to make up for this debt more and more intensely.
must let Yan Su inherit the Yan family, this is the thought that has been lingering in his heart. Although Yan Su is not very bold and gentle, as long as a few brothers help well, with his bloodline and relationship with Qixia Academy, he will naturally be able to get more support from Lu Song, and it will not be a problem to maintain the family.
Then the crux of the problem is Yan Meng and Yan Qiang, as well as Yan Wu, who has military power, of course, the most important thing is Yan Xu's attitude, as long as she agrees, up and down the Yan family, she will agree with Yan Su to succeed to the throne, after all, over the years, Yan Xu's actions deserve the title of this master's mother.
Suddenly thought that Yan Su'er's girl actually thought that her father was going to "sell" her, and Yan Yan's mood was not very good, hey, they all said that their daughter was their father, why didn't they kiss their own daughter?
Since Mrs. is not in the East Warm Pavilion, she must be a small warm pavilion, in order to save charcoal, generally in winter, she will stay in the small warm pavilion, where the room is smaller, and the charcoal fire cost is less. Yan Xu's family thinks about the style of the Yan family all the time, how can such a lady not be loved?
Yan Yan moved to the small warm pavilion, and sure enough, he heard Yan Su'er complaining inside.
Yan Chen smiled wryly outside the door, thinking to himself, it is better to go in later, so as not to point the finger at himself. After listening to Yan Yu'er's complaint, Yan Yan pursed her lips, it seemed that it was the first time for so many years to hear her daughter say so many words and so many words.
Yan Xu listened to it and remained silent, and when Yan Su'er finished speaking, his mood stabilized a little, and then he smiled and smiled from the piece of cream pine pulp from the maid beside him: "You eat some first." ”
"Eat, eat, mother, when is it, your daughter is going to be sold." Yan Su'er was very unwilling, grabbed a piece and put it in her mouth.
Through the glass, seeing her daughter so cute, Yan Yan was a little unimaginable, hey,
At that time, he was in a hurry to train his brother Yan Su, a little anxious, but Yan Su was an extremely timid personality, and he learned horseback archery slowly, and Yan Su had to reprimand a few words for this, but at that time, Yan Su'er was only five or six years old and always circled around his brother, and he was affected by some influences, and he was a little afraid of his father.
When Yan Xu saw her finish eating, he said: "This family business, I think it is feasible for my mother." ”
"What?" Yan Su'er glanced at her mother strangely, and saw that she was serious, and her heart sank, her mother was a veritable head of the family, once she decided on something, the banquet would be noisy for two days at most, and it would basically stop, and Fang Cai's mother's words were that she also agreed, so wouldn't it be the fate of her parents? Yan Su'er didn't follow and said: "Mother, how can this work, have you seen that little lord Erzhu?" Who are they? A few days ago, he actually poisoned Lu Qihua in the post house, such a promiscuous person, you actually asked me to marry him? ”
A touch of contemplation flashed in Yan Xu's phoenix's eyes, and then he said lightly: "I have also heard of this person's character, and it is indeed not bad, but what about it?" Didn't your father do the same when he was younger? Otherwise, where did you get so many brothers and sisters brothers and sisters? ”
Yan Yan almost held back his internal injuries, and said in his heart: Dare to love me like this in your mind!
But the next words made Yan Chen feel like a fire.
"How can it be the same? Father is also in love with you, the eldest mother and several aunts were together before, after marrying you, he has never married a concubine, bullied a maid. Naer Zhu Ying is this virtue now, how good can it be in the future? ”
Yan Chen was very pleased, his daughter was still very caring, and she knew how to help her father say two good words.
"Phew, don't look at your father's honesty, he still has a few illegitimate sons and illegitimate daughters outside, hide it from you, and hide it from me?"
Bang bang, Yan Yan felt that his face was so red.
"I don't poke his things outside, I don't care, I usually send people to stare at the point, after all, it is the blood of the banquet family, I have to read some books, learn some crafts, and I will have the ability to settle down in the future, but people can't get it back, big and small can't get it back, I have been with my wife and a few sisters for more than 20 years, and I am also familiar with it, and I am old, and the dolls have grown up, and those who should be married are married, and those who should be married are married, and I don't want to toss more." Yan Xu glanced out of the window: "Now it's just you and Su'er left." ”
Hearing this, Yan Yan was a little embarrassed, with his understanding of his wife, she must have known that she was outside, and this was said to him.
"Then my brother hasn't married yet, why is it my turn?" Feast
"Your brother's affairs, I have already arranged, I will discuss with your father when I go back, his affairs will end next year, and you will not be on the list, you are still young, you are engaged to go to six ceremonies, at least a year, I also know your careful thoughts, you will marry in the future, what kind of maid, you don't think about it, to be honest, my mother will get up every day and think about your marriage, which noble girl do you say will do this errand? As a mother, I was also confused for a while, I didn't stop you, I had a headache when I thought of your marriage, and in the past few years, I haven't even asked for a maid
Yes, now it's okay, the world has fallen a duchess, what are you not happy about. To be honest, I'm afraid they'll regret it. ”
"What?" Yan Su'er was so anxious that she was about to cry, was she so unbearable in her mother's mind? You must know that in her mind, her mother's banquet Xu is an omnipotent saint, and she will actually worry about her marriage, and the banquet is not small, knowing that she is also a beautiful woman with rich charm and greasy skin, how did she do it for more than a year, and she became a leftover girl that no one wants? "I don't care, I'm not married, I don't care about the duchess, I don't like that person, I can't look down on it, I don't have a face and no skin to drug a Qinglou woman, if it's a lady, I may be able to understand, the Qinglou woman is nothing more than money, talent, sweet words can become a guest of the scene, he still needs to use this kind of indiscriminate means, this kind of person, who loves to marry."
The couples inside and outside the screen frowned, they didn't expect their daughter to have such knowledge, what they said was quite reasonable, with the identity of Erzhu Ying, money and status, it was indeed a little out of tune to use such means for the Qinglou woman.
"Maybe Lu Onion Niang values the reputation of Qihua too much." Yan Xu said lightly: "Actually, it's only half a year. ”
"What half a year?"
Yan Xu chuckled and said, "Oh, is there anything you don't know?" That being said, she didn't give Yan Su'er a chance to speak: "This Qihua has always chosen a boudoir woman, and has never chosen any Qinglou woman, because there is an unwritten rule that a girl who has not been out of the cabinet can be selected, and she is selected once every seven years." ”
"I know that!"
"But in the early years, women got married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and they abounded, but the appearance of a woman's figure and appearance took seventeen or eighteen years old to grow, and she was beautiful, how do you choose these seven flowers? Choose some twelve or thirteen-year-old girls? ”
"Isn't this woman seventeen to get married?"
"It's said that it was in the early years, and then Dazai-sama felt that this kind of selection was really undesirable, so he canceled it, and it wasn't until a few years ago that it was too early for a woman to marry seventeen or eighteen, and there were many unmarried people in their early twenties, so this seven-flower selection flourished."
"Oh, it turns out that there is this allusion, but what does this have to do with Lu Congniang's valuing this reputation?"
"It's nothing, although this woman gets married late, but once she is selected for Qihua, it is a hundred schools, and the matchmaker breaks the door, these Qihua's maiden family only has the share of picking flowers, and they are generally engaged to marry within a year, and there are almost no who can drag on for seven years."
"Ah, are you saying that Lu Congniang has been a seven-flower for six years, and she is now the only seven-flower who is not married?"
"Yes!" Yan Xu said lightly: "I'm afraid that what she thinks now, I'm afraid she will become the only leader of the Seven Flowers name that lasts for seven years." ”
Yan Su'er was surprised: "So that's the case, so what's the benefit?" ”
Banquet Xu's stall hand: "Fame!" That's all. It is really not easy for a Qinglou woman to obtain this leader, since it is already in her sixth year, it is natural to want to complete this feat, and there is nothing incomprehensible. ”
"Seven years
Time, is it worth it? Yan Su'er's beautiful eyes flowed: "In that case, Erzhu is even more hateful!" ”
Yan Xu's didn't expect Yan Su'er to come back again, knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's mother, this family business, this aunt is indeed not the best choice, but Yan Xu believes that the daughter she taught also knows the woman's marriage, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' order, with Yan Su'er's relatively cold personality, facing anyone, it is estimated that the first thing to think about is the corpse, I thought that three sentences, at most five sentences, can make her accept her own arrangement, obviously she overestimated her own judgment.
In fact, Yan Xu herself does not reject independent marriage, although she is often in awe of the etiquette outline, she is not blindly followed, she herself is a second marriage, which can explain her mentality, but she has always believed that the marriage of the noble girl is not free, after all, there is a big mansion behind the constraints, otherwise her first marriage will not be the order of her parents.
"You don't need to mention this matter again, don't forget what I once taught you, you are the daughter of the banquet family first, and then other identities, you have so many sisters and sisters, all of whom have contributed to the development of the banquet family, they are all selected for the mother one by one, and the sedan chair is sent one by one, but when you pay for the banquet family, but the mother does not agree? Hold on to your heart? How do you ask me to deal with my wife in the future? And your sisters who are happily or unhappily married? ”
"Mother, are you going to push your daughter into the fire pit for your sake?" Yan Su'er was a little anxious
"It's not a fire pit, you don't go, how do you know?" Yan Xu was also a little anxious, Yan Su'er's counterattack was a little beyond her imagination, the Yan family had married many times, and she had not encountered this kind of fierce situation much.
"When I think of Erzhuyi, I want to throw up." Yan Su'er recalled that Er Zhuying was still trying to touch her cheap face at that time, and she felt disgusted in her heart. "Anyway, I won't marry, I'm going to marry my sister."
After speaking, she regretted it again: "Sister Camelina can't marry either!" After saying that, she was about to leave the warm pavilion in a puff of anger, her excitement, coupled with the fact that she remembered some secret things with Chi Qiu, made her feel a little suffocated, she wanted to go out to breathe, and turned to see Yan Chen: "I'm not married, don't expect me to agree, hum." ”
Yan Yan had a bitter look on his face, and complained to Yan Xu: "I don't agree, why do I seem to have become the culprit?" ”
Seeing Xianggong, Yan Xu immediately got up and wore a light white cardigan, a graceful young woman, supporting Yan Chen, with a smile on her face: "Let the official be wronged, let her make trouble, even if she is Sun Wukong, she can't escape from my Five Finger Mountain." Mama Yu next to her saw it, and couldn't help laughing, she has been with the banquet Xu family for many years, from the maid to the grandmother, along the way, the two couples have been in love for 20 years, and they will joke like this, it is really rare.
Yan Yan had a bitter face: "Why are you so troubled?" My Rulai. ”
Yan Xu smiled, gently rested his head on Yan Chen's shoulder, and Mama Yu retreated with interest and closed the door.
Yan Chen touched her hair with satisfaction, Yan Xu's contribution to the growth of the Yan family, the white hair of the sideburns is estimated to be worried, what can you ask for if you have a wife so obedient?
"You don't understand, I've had enough of her over the years
Indulge, everything goes according to her wishes, just so that she can be obedient today, I knew that it was like this, it was better to let her be in the Burning Fragrance Academy, and avoid getting Qi Xia to learn some strange medicine. "The things that the fragrant girl learns are simple, and there are no too esoteric subjects, only accept women, learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female care for babies, if you keep Yan'er by her side, she must be more obedient.
"Does Su'er have a favorite person in Lusong?" Yan Yan couldn't help but be suspicious, according to his cognition, so many of his daughters obeyed Yan Xu's dispatch one by one, but this Yan Yu'er reacted violently.
"No, I've already looked into it." Yan Xu shook his head, Yan Su'er's every move, she arranged for someone to report to her.
"And what about when you get back?"
Like an electric shock, the couple stared at each other: "Chi Qiu? ”
