Chapter 6: Forced Marriage
Yan Huan didn't want to look at his disgusting face anymore, so he brushed his sleeves away.
Cao Qingzhi saw the beauty leaving, so he hurriedly whistled, and a person came out of the dark.
"Follow, who is the surname and where the family lives, find out for me. "Cao Qingzhi has wanted the wind and the rain since he was a child, and now that he has fallen in love with such a beauty, he naturally refuses to let go.
Yan Huan was angry, went home and went straight to the study.
She scolded the surnamed Cao thousands of times, especially resentful. But she didn't dare to tell Yan Si about this. Yan Si has a big temper, but the other party is obviously not something that their sisters can afford to provoke. It's just that she owes her mouth, and she has to talk to her, and now she has to swallow her anger because she has taken advantage of her mouth, which is really unreasonable! Anyway, he doesn't know who I am, and he will forget it in two days. Yan Huan comforted herself.
Yan Huan has a big heart, but Cao Qingzhi refuses to give up. He asked someone to inquire about Yan Huan's details clearly, and spent another three days preparing the dowry. Three days later, the matchmaker came to the door of the Yan family with a dowry.
When the Yan sisters saw this situation, they were all a little dumbfounded, but the matchmaker squinted and smiled: "Great joy, great joy!"
The two sisters glanced at each other, and Yan Si asked, "Where does the joy come from?"
The matchmaker pinched the handkerchief and waved his hand at Yan Si, "The eldest lady doesn't know yet, the only son of Lord Cao's family fell in love with the second lady at the festival, no, call me Mrs. Zhang to give the dowry." Eh, look at all these good things, it's seventy-two!"
"Lord Cao?
"It's Lord Yin Cao of Jingzhao Mansion. Mrs. Zhang was afraid that she wouldn't know, so she added: "Do you remember the matter of Lu Qian's resignation a few days ago? I shouldn't have said these words, but you also know that Miss Li can compare with our second miss in terms of family background, talent, and appearance, but Lu Gongzi would rather choose her, and it is not without reason here." ”
Hearing Mrs. Zhang say this, the sisters of the Yan family wondered, could it be that there was something hidden here?
Mrs. Zhang didn't wait to ask, and said: "Although the Li family is not good at business, they can't support their daughter." Miss Li's aunt is Lord Cao's favorite concubine, and even Mrs. Cao is helpless about that favor, I heard that her niece loves Lu Gongzi, how can it not be fulfilled. ”
Even down, without Zhang Matchmaker's wife, Yan Huan himself could guess that it must be Lord Cao's concubine's pillow where the wind blows diligently, and Lord Cao can't bear it, so he finds a reason to trouble the Lu family, forcing the Lu family to admit this family business. The Li family took advantage of the Cao family's momentum to become a family with the Lu family, and the business was much cheaper, which was much stronger than running around day and night. I have to say that the Li family's abacus is really good, and even the daughter who is regarded as a money-loser by ordinary people is used just right.
Mrs. Zhang looked at the two sisters of the Yan family with unkind faces, knowing that she was too talkative, and accompanied the smiling face on the side: "Look at my mouth, what do you say, you should be beaten, you should be beaten!"
The sisters of the Yan family knew that it was useless to deal with a matchmaker, and it was not beautiful to make it too stiff, so Yan Huan pretended to be shy and said: "I only have a one-sided relationship with Cao Gongzi, but I didn't expect Cao Gongzi to be... Let my sister think about this matter, and it is not too late to make a decision in seven days. ”
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she thought about it and responded with a smile.
sent away Mrs. Zhang, Yan Si and Yan Huan were worried about sitting. Yan Huan never imagined that going to the festival would lead to so many things. I thought that the Cao family was really crooked at the top and crooked at the bottom, the old one was busy spoiling the concubine and killing his wife, and the young one was busy looking for a concubine to find a mother-in-law. Thinking of the power of the Cao family's concubine, he said in his heart that he didn't want to marry, even if he was willing to marry, he would definitely not have a good life in the future. The delay was only seven days, and it was doubtful that she had to think about how to deal with it.
Yan Si didn't blame her sister anymore, this kind of thing, she couldn't hide if she wanted to. You can't marry if you marry, and as for how to refuse, Yan Si doesn't have a score in her heart. Cao Gongzi is a lawless person, and Lord Cao is not a good person, which angered the Cao family, and their sisters don't have to mess around here.
The two sat from dawn to dark, and in the end, Yan Si really couldn't, "Why don't we ask Ling Jun and let him help think of a way?"
Yan Huan pondered for a moment and said helplessly: "I don't know where he lives." ”
Yan Si looked at her speechlessly, and said in his heart, it's over, there is no one to discuss now.
Because of the Cao family's affairs, Yan Huan has been depressed for several days. She sat quietly every day, not knowing what to think. Seeing this, the steward also did not disturb her, turned his back, and sighed silently.
On the fifth day, Ling Jun came.
"What's going on?" Ling Jun was surprised to see that she was listless.
Yan Huan smiled reluctantly, with unconcealed sorrow in his eyes. She wanted to tell him what happened, and she wanted him to know that she liked him a little, but what to say?
The steward was anxious when he saw it, and he begged: "Young owner, you have been looking forward to finally bringing Lingjun Gongzi, what do you have to say!"
Ling Jun was puzzled, but in just a few days, why did everyone look like they were facing a great enemy, could it be that something had happened?
Yan Huan sighed, briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and at the end, half-jokingly: "Do you think I should obey him, or find someone to elope?"
Ling Jun didn't joke with her, but thought about how many crimes the judge would convict them of after the death of the family, and whether they would have to be reincarnated as animals in the next life.
"Don't worry, you don't have to marry someone you don't like. Ling Jun said firmly, as if he was the one who controlled everything.
When the steward heard him say this, his gratitude was overflowing, but Yan Huan didn't seem so happy. She didn't know anything about Ling Jun from beginning to end. She didn't know who he was, where he came from, where he lived, and she didn't know where to find him. Such a mysterious person, he doesn't even pay attention to Jingzhao Mansion Yin, what does he rely on?
Ling Jun thought she was still worried, and reached out and patted her head to reassure, "It's not early, I'll send you back first, and I'll leave the rest to me." ”
The two went out one after the other, and the steward sighed in the back: "This is a talented woman, a match made in heaven!"
Yan Si saw that it was Ling Jun who sent Yan Huan back, and he made up his mind, and the three of them analyzed the matter again. In the end, Ling Jun still said the same sentence: "Leave this matter to me, Yan Huan will not marry into the Cao family." ”
Yan Si wanted to find Ling Jun to find a way, but Ling Jun took over the matter so quickly, which greatly surprised Yan Si's expectations.
"Who are you?" Yan Huan blurted out, and after a long doubt, he asked without thinking. After finishing speaking, he felt inappropriate and explained, "I want to ask you if you are really so sure?"
Ling Jun only thought that Yan Huan was afraid that something would happen, and said softly: "Don't worry, I have my own measure, and no one will mention this family matter again." ”
Ling Jun said two more words and said goodbye, and the sisters of the Liuyan family looked at each other there.
