Chapter 5: Wives and Concubines

Out of the wonton shop, the two went to the street again, Yan Huan was still worried about a few copper plates, and when he looked up and saw the vendor selling wind chimes, his eyes lit up.

In all fairness, the wind chimes here are really good, Yan Huan picked and chosen, and finally chose one.

"This one for you. Yan Huan carried the wind chimes and smiled.

The beauty under the lamp is smiling like a flower, the copper wind chimes are clear, and everything is so beautiful that it is not like words. Ling Jun asked himself to be well-informed, but he couldn't help but fall into this situation. He took the wind chime and gently stroked a strand of broken hair behind Yan Huan's ear. Yan Huan realized it later, her face was red and her ears were red, and the girl's shyness was also a different style.

The two walked slowly, each with their own thoughts, and arrived at Yan's house in a blink of an eye.

Ling Jun planned to see her enter the door like last time, but Yan Huan said, "It's late, come in and have a cup of tea." Last time you sent me back, and this time you saved me, my sister must thank you. Yan Huan felt that his tongue was a little knotted, and even Yan Si moved out, completely forgetting what kind of amazing reaction Yan Si would have if he saw him.

Ling Jun pondered for a moment, and finally agreed.

Inevitably embarrassed, Yan Huan found Yan Si first and told her what happened tonight, and then let the two meet. Yan Si is a person who can be on the stage, although he is full of praise for Ling Jun, but fortunately, it is within the normal range, and Ling Jun advances and retreats to a certain extent, and he is calm, and the two talk very happily. Yan Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this situation.

Seeing that it was really not early, Ling Jun offered to say goodbye, but this time Yan Si didn't stay any longer.

"My sister has always been informal, if there is any rudeness, please bear with me. Nowadays, women are more gentle and deferential, but Yan Si is flamboyant and bold, she is afraid that Ling Jun will misunderstand Yan Si is a frivolous and debauched woman, so she has to explain.

Ling Jun smiled slightly, but he didn't care much: "I think Yan Si is true temperament, such a woman is rare." ”

Yan Huan pursed her lips, but smiled silently.

After sending Ling Jun away, Yan Huan returned to the hall, she knew that Yan Si must be waiting for her.

Sure enough, as soon as Ling Jun left, Yan Si exposed her true nature and hurriedly dragged her over, "What the hell is going on with the two of you, quickly recruit from the truth." ”

Yan Huan couldn't stand being entangled by her, so she raised her hand and surrendered: "Good sister, let me go." ”

Yan Si didn't eat her set, and said to himself on the side: "He saved your life, and the grace of saving your life should be promised by yourself, and it really became what you said in the drama after a long time." ”

Yan Huan thought silently in her heart, although she admitted that Ling Jun was of good character and good looks, he was a rare handsome son, and she also had a good impression of him, but how could she be a child's play if she was a lifelong event? Besides, Ling Jun was a decent person, maybe he only regarded himself as a confidant, if he rashly showed his admiration, I was afraid that it would arouse his disgust, so it was better to let go of this kind of mind first, and wait for Ling Jun's attitude to be found out, and then it was not too late to make a decision.

The next day, Yan Huan got up, and after some makeup, he came to Longquan Temple outside the city to participate in the blessing ceremony. Longquan Temple has a long history, quite prestigious in Chang'an, the rich like to give alms in such a festival, in order to show their virtue of helping the poor, over time, the wind of comparison prevails. Yan Huan is young and has not been sophisticated for a long time, so she does not have much utilitarian heart, she donated sesame oil money, and came to the back mountain to hide quietly. The mountain behind Longquan Temple is quiet and sparsely populated, which is in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the front hall.

At this time, the heat has not yet dissipated, and people who travel during the day will inevitably sweat. The rich have ice basins and ice bowls, but in such weather they are better than nothing. Yan Huan sat in the viewing pavilion and felt cool, she was beating the beat with one hand and humming a little song in her mouth, feeling so uncomfortable.

"Mountains and rivers meet bosom friends, I can't imagine that I can meet such an otherworldly person here, it's really wonderful, I haven't asked the name of the young lady. ”

Yan Huan was taken aback when he heard someone behind him. When I looked back, I saw a young man in brocade clothes, standing more than three feet in front of her. Yan Huan saw that he was only in his twenties, with a medium build, and his facial features were quite weekly, the only thing that stood out was that he was dressed up to be either rich or expensive, this kind of person was not something that Yan Huan could come into contact with on weekdays.

When the young man saw Yan Huan looking over, his eyes flashed with amazement, even though he was beautiful and beautiful, this woman still made his eyes shine, the scenery here is very good, it is suitable to sit down and have a good talk.

"My surname is Cao, a person from Chang'an, I didn't notice it for a while, and I abruptly surprised Miss, and please don't be surprised. He accompanied the smiling face and made the number of courtesies sufficient.

Yan Huan's jaw. This is a temple, everyone is a pilgrim, and it is not up to anyone to blame.

Seeing this, the young man was a little happier again, and followed the conversation and talked to Yan Huan.

Yan Huan was indispensable, seeing that the hour was still early and there was nothing to do, he chimed in and chatted with him.

Cao Qingzhi saw that Yan Huan was generous and generous, and quite knowledgeable, he admired it in his heart, and changed his words after thinking: "My Cao family has been an official eunuch for generations, and the family style is upright, and I have not yet married a wife in my twenties, and my family is urging me to be very strong, I am depressed in my heart, and I plan to come to the back mountain to hide and be clean, but I didn't expect to meet Miss, it seems that we are also destined." ”

Yan Huan ignored the meaning of his words, but asked, "Your family forced you to marry a wife?"

"I can't hide it, I want to find someone who is in love, but I have some small property in my family and am coveted by others. ”

He said it tactfully, but Yan Huan understood. His family status is high, and others always want to marry him, in order to be cheap, but how can such a family be attached to ordinary people, so they come and go, and the family affairs are always unsuccessful, seeing that his boss is not small, he is probably a little anxious.

Yan Huan thought about him, and said earnestly: "Look, you are not small, it is right to want to be in love, but life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, your family is high, gentle and virtuous, and your family is poor, it is estimated that your family will not look down on it; ”

Cao Qingzhi nodded again and again after hearing this: "What Miss said is very true, but the cause is determined by God, I met Miss here today, I think it is God's arrangement." ”

Yan Huan heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "What do you mean?"

"I fell in love with Miss at first sight, and I am willing to conclude a good relationship with Miss with two surnames. ”

"You wait!" Yan Huan was a little anxious. A married woman has a different hairstyle from an unmarried woman, and he can see that it is not uncommon for her to be unmarried, but it is too hasty to sign a marriage contract with someone he has only met once, not to mention that there is neither the order of her parents, nor the words of a matchmaker, when she is what!

"You, I am kind enough to explain you, it's just that you are not grateful, you actually have such a dirty mind, it really should be thundered!" Yan Huan was so angry.

Cao Qingzhi said unhurriedly: "Miss is angry, I am not a frivolous person, but I am in love." I have not married a wife so far, there is only one concubine in the room, and there is no one else, there is a concubine, if the young lady passes the door, the young lady should be the mother-in-law, raised under the knees of the young lady, and all the housekeeping in the house is decided by the young lady. ”

Yan Huan originally wanted to scold him, but after hearing this, he only felt that it was redundant to scold him. She didn't know if men like to give their concubines children to their wives to raise, but how many wives can really be generous enough to let their husbands love other women? Seeing his personality clearly, Yan Huan calmed down, and she asked casually: "How old is your concubine?" ”

"I'm seven years old this year. Seeing that Yan Huan's face was not very good, he defended himself with some humility: "In the house of the official eunuch, it is common for fifteen or sixteen years old to accept concubines. "It was too late for him to raise a son at the age of eighteen.

Yan Huan looked at him coldly, hoping that he would not be able to marry a wife in his life, and if he did, it would be a disaster to others. If he marries a wife, and there is a difference of about ten years between the eldest son and his mother, he is not afraid that his son will grow up and what will he have with his wife?
