Chapter 150: Mrs. Korea
Without waiting for Li Qing'an to get up, Yang Huahua walked in first in a few steps, in the Agarwood Pavilion, the three sisters all sat up straight, Yang Yuhuan sat in the right position, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs stood behind, and on the side sat Mrs. Yang Yupei of the Qin State and Mrs. Yang Yuzhu of South Korea, Yang Yupei's face was indifferent, as if everything had nothing to do with her, but Yang Yuzhu, a pair of willow eyebrows were about to be twisted into a feather duster, and there was a kind of disdain and harshness in her eyes.
Although Li Qingan was promoted to become the governor of Tingzhou, in the eyes of the Yang family, the governor of a state is just a sesame official.
At this time, the footsteps sounded, and it was Yang Huahua who had just left angrily who came in, Yang Yuhuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Third sister, it's great that you can come back, they are all your own sisters, what's not negotiable?" ”
Yang Huahua glanced at Yang Yuzhu coldly and said, "Fourth sister, I'm giving you face, otherwise I won't look back if I am killed." ”
Yang Yuzhu's mind was no longer on Yang Huahua at this time, she looked out of the door, she was also a little curious, what is this Li Qing'an, who is widely spread in Chang'an, like? Last time Yang Huahua had a birthday, she was sick and didn't come, and she never saw Li Qingan.
Yang Huahua sat next to her eldest sister without saying a word, her eyes squinted at Yang Yuzhu coldly, this stingy woman who even has to ask a maid to buy a pair of socks, will Li Qingan take a fancy to her daughter?
The footsteps outside sounded again, this time it became vigorous and powerful, the figure flashed, Li Qingan walked in, followed by two palace guards, Li Qingan knelt down on one knee, and Shi Yijun saluted: "Minister Li Qing'an, see Niangniang." ”
Yang Yuhuan showed a smile in the autumn water, Li Qingan once served as her pot throwing master, although it was only half a day, but the impression left by Li Qingan on her has always made her unforgettable.
"General Qing'an, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Back to Niangniang, the minister first went to Jiangdu, and then went to Longyou, and he has not been in Beijing."
"The general of the battle of Longyou has worked hard, there is something I want to ask the general in this palace, I wonder if the general can answer conveniently?"
"Niangniang, please ask, Qing'an knows everything."
"General, don't be so nervous, in my place, I won't talk about military affairs."
Yang Yuhuan smiled and asked softly: "General Qing'an, I heard that you are not married yet, so can you be married?" ”
"Weichen has ordered a family since he was a child, and then the woman moved to Shuzhong, and she has not been in touch for many years."
"Oh! Do you want to go to her? ”
"Wechen didn't have time, but my grandfather repeatedly told him before he died that the other party was kind to my family, and my husband stood in the world, and he should be rewarded for his kindness."
Li Qingxin sneered, let him marry the daughter of the Yang family, dream!
Yang Yuhuan showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes, but she didn't give up, as long as Li Qingan didn't get married, as for the marriage since childhood, that can be canceled, the key is that her second sister must be willing, thinking of this, she glanced at the second sister with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Yang Yuzhu began to observe Li Qing'an carefully from the moment he entered the door, Li Qing'an was tall and burly, with deep eyes, a hard and powerful face, full of a kind of manly charm, so that Yang Yuzhu's eyes couldn't help but light up, Li Qing'an is young, heroic, full of vigorous and energetic feeling, which makes her heart moved, if this young man really becomes her son-in-law, it is actually quite good.
Yang Yuzhu is not yet thirty-three years old this year, she is also a young woman, and she still has a little longing for a different surname in her heart, she has also seen a few border generals, in her memory, these border generals have been exposed to the wind and sun, all rude and rude, with a fierce face, either an orange peel face, or a big nose with wine lees, so that she gave birth to a kind of physiological rejection, so when Yang Yuhuan proposed to give her daughter to Li Qing'an, she reacted so violently, but when she saw Li Qing'an himself, she was immediately moved, don't say that she is married to a daughter, if she Yunying is not married, She also .....
She didn't want to ask more, but now that she had forgotten what she thought just now, Yang Yuzhu asked with a smile: "General Qing'an, where is your father?" ”
"Madam, Li Qing'an is just a commoner, my parents died early, and I went to Anxi with my grandfather to make a living since I was a child."
"I see!"
Yang Yuzhu pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what title are you now?" ”
"I'm now the Marquis of Jinchang County."
Yang Yuzhu was a little hesitant in her heart, Li Qingan's appearance made her very satisfied, and the title was okay, but his background was a little humble, which made her feel a little unhappy.
Yang Huahua was drinking tea on the side, without saying a word, she was full of contempt for Yang Yuzhu in her heart, and said that she was looking for a man outside, but the heat in her eyes flashed when she saw Li Qingan just now, isn't she also a woman surnamed Yang Hua? I also teach myself a serious lesson, hum!
And the other bystander is the eldest sister Yang Yupei, originally the second sister chose a son-in-law and she has nothing to do with it, she is not in good health, and she has no spirit to ask so many things, if she changes someone, she doesn't want to say anything at all, but the fourth sister chose Li Qing'an, I heard that several clan brothers hate him to the core, which means that he is the political enemy of the Yang family, although Yang Yupei does not understand politics, but also understands that the disaster cannot be introduced, and this matter will make the Yang family split internally.
She was very vigilant in her heart, but she couldn't say anything in front of the fourth sister, so she coughed and laughed: "I just remembered something, the eldest brother asked us to go to his house at noon to get together, saying that there is something important to discuss, and now the time has come, the second sister, the third sister, let's go!" ”
Yang Huahua couldn't wait for the blind date to be over, so she got up and said, "Big brother seems to be in a hurry, we can't delay, let's go!" ”
Yang Yuzhu also wanted to discuss it with her husband again, so she also stood up and smiled at Yang Yuhuan: "Fourth sister, then let's go first." ”
"You guys...."
Yang Yuhuan saw that the three sisters were getting up and leaving, so she had to sigh, "Go ahead!" Say hello to my eldest brother on my behalf. ”
Yang Yuhuan's heart is very chaotic, in the past, they were sisters with the same heart, and when they made a dress for the New Year, they always wore it first by the eldest sister, then the second sister, then the third sister, and finally to themselves, but when it finally came to their own hands, the clothes were still the same as new, and the sisters were reluctant to wear them, and they all wanted to leave them to their sisters, although the family was poor at that time, but that kind of warmth and harmony made her unforgettable for the rest of her life, and now she is rich, but the sisters are no longer like from the same heart, hey! Why is that?
Yang Yuhuan lowered his head and was sad, and then Li Qingan said: "Niangniang, if there is nothing wrong, Weichen will retire." ”
Yang Yuhuan woke up at this time, Li Qingan was still beside him! She smiled apologetically and said softly: "General Li, I invited you here today, in fact, I wanted to give you my second sister's daughter Ning Bixu, but I didn't expect you to marry, it was me who was reckless." ”
Li Qingan thought for a while and said: "Back to Niangniang, in fact, Weichen didn't have a marriage since childhood, just now Weichen heard Mrs. Han's words outside, and he came up with an excuse temporarily. ”
Yang Yuhuan was stunned for a moment, "Isn't General Li unwilling?" ”
Li Qingan shook his head and said, "I know that Niangniang is a good person, so I don't want to deceive Niangniang, to be honest, I don't want to!" ”
Yang Yuhuan stared at Li Qing'an, and only after a while did he ask, "Why don't you want to?" ”
Li Qingan bit his lip and said: "Niangniang, I want to marry a woman I like, Mrs. Han's daughter may be as beautiful as a fairy, but let me marry a woman I have never seen, no matter how beautiful she is, I will never marry her." ”
Yang Yuhuan sighed lowly, "General Li, I understand what you mean, in fact, Ning Bi is my favorite aunt and niece, I have always wanted to find the best husband for her, I thought of you, you once taught me to throw a pot for half a time, I am my master, even the saint is full of praise for you, saying that you are young and promising, and you are the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, I think you are the most suitable husband of Ning Bi, I didn't expect ..... Ay! Forget it, General Li, I won't force you. ”
"Xie Niangniang understands, Qing'an has taken her leave."
Li Qingan bowed and slowly retreated.
Yang Yuhuan slowly walked to the window, staring at the sparkling blue water of the dragon pond in the distance, her heart was very chaotic today, from the gap between the sisters to Li Qing'an's refusal, she couldn't help but think of herself, she was elected as the princess of Shou at the age of seventeen, the husband and wife were sweet and sweet, but the good times did not last long, a few years later, she was forced to leave the house to become a female Taoist priest Taizhen, and then she became a concubine, the head of the harem, although San Lang loved her in every way, and her mother's family was even more unequaled, but she always felt that there was something missing in her life, she never wanted to think about it, and she didn't dare to think about it, but today's Li Qingan's categorical refusal tugged at her heartstrings that were about to rust: 'Let me marry a woman I have never seen before, no matter how beautiful she is, I will never marry her. ’
It was this sonorous sentence that made her upset, Li Qingan would never marry a woman she didn't like, but what about her? Can she never marry a man she doesn't like?
.........
Korean Mrs. Yang Yuzhu did not immediately go to the house of her eldest brother Yang Qi, but went back to her home first, she was very conflicted, on the one hand, Li Qingan's first impression on her was good, on the other hand, Li Qingan's family background made her a little hesitant, at this time, she usually discussed with her husband.
Yang Yuzhu's husband is called Cui Xun, the official worships the secretary and the young eunuch, Cui Xun was originally just a small official in the county government, because of his wife, he actually ascended to the sky in one step and became the secretary and young eunuch, this is like a man named Huazi suddenly picked up a good brocade robe, it doesn't look like that when he wears it, although the robe is new, but the straw is still stuck to his hair, and he is still wearing straw shoes under his feet.
The court allows officials to take up to 100 days of leave a year, and he wants to ask for 99 days, and he doesn't care about deducting that little money, and he has some old habits at home that have not changed, that is, he used to be strapped for money, and developed his thrifty habits, which has something in common with his wife Yang Yuzhu.
The difference between thrift and stinginess is to oneself and others, thrift is the same as oneself and subordinates, both wear cloth clothes, eat coarse grains, and donate the money saved to the poor, which is a virtue: but stinginess is one's own big fish and meat, brocade clothes and jade food, but to the subordinates is coarse cloth brown rice, and it is too much to reward the root needles.
The couple undoubtedly belong to the latter, the two of them live in luxury, Yang Yuzhu has a pearl on her head, a silk coat on her body, and a fat powder on her face, which adds up to a cost of no less than 10,000 yuan a year, and Cui Xun likes to collect farm properties, and the fields he has collected in recent years are too much to reward ten princes for Yongye fields.
But it is such a rich and noble family, their personal servants buy a pair of socks have strict rules, only allowed to buy the cheapest coarse linen white socks, a maximum of two pairs a year, and buy new must hand over the old, if the old is not broken, then the pulp is washed and rewarded to the slaves and maids in the manor.
The couple has a baby daughter, named Cui Ningbi, who looks average, but her heart is higher than the sky, and the couple want to marry her into the clan, not only to glorify the ancestors, but also most of the clans are wealthy and rich, as for marrying a famous family, in fact, it is not that they don't want to, but there is a kind of sparrow ashamed of seeing the phoenix.
Today, Cui Xun took sick leave at home as usual, he was thinking about the drought in Hedong last year, maybe the land was cheap, and he could collect a little, at this time, his wife Yang Yuzhu hurriedly ran in, clapped his hands and said: "Cui Lang, there is an urgent matter to discuss." ”
Cui Xun put down the pen in his hand and smiled: "Lady, what's the matter?" ”
"That's the case, my fourth sister wants to tell Ning Bi a family matter."
Yang Yuzhu briefly said Li Qing'an's matter, and finally said: "I think this person is okay, but I can't make up my mind for a while, I want to ask you, do you think he can do it?" ”
Cui Xun is not as lonely as his wife, he is still a little knowledgeable, and he frowned and said: "This person is not bad, he was named the deputy envoy of the Beiting Festival in the early dynasty, and there is no righteousness above, in fact, he is in charge of the Beiting court, and there is Gao Lishi as the backstage, but his family is not rich, I won't talk about it, the silver silk he was rewarded twice adds up to only more than 10,000 yuan, I heard that this person is generous, I estimate that there is not much silver silk in his hand, and it is impossible for our family to give much dowry, I am afraid that Ning Bi will marry and suffer with him, and the husband's family is not solid, How can there be a reason for the mother's family to post money? ”
Yang Yuzhu nodded and said: "I think so too, and I heard that he comes from a humble background, his parents are commoners, and our background is not very high, so we can't find someone who is not as good as us!" ”
Yang Yuzhu was originally moved, but when Li Qingan's image slowly faded in her mind, she calmed down, she still felt that this family business was not ideal, she wanted her daughter to marry into the clan, it was really not good, it was okay to marry a famous family, but she married a border general like Li Qingan, and her daughter had to go to the Western Regions to suffer, she began to be reluctant in her heart.
"I said Cui Lang, this incident should not have happened, let's not tell our daughter, so that she will not think about it."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door suddenly moved, "Not good! Yang Yuzhu suddenly reacted, her daughter must be eavesdropping outside, she stepped forward and opened the door, and sure enough, it was her daughter Cui Ningbi standing outside the door, her face was swollen red, and her eyes flashed with expectation.
When she saw her mother, she couldn't help but ask, "Mother, is it really Li Qing'an from Anxi?" ”
