Chapter 741: Family Joy

The entrance of the vegetable market, the Yan Mansion, the backyard hall, the lights are bright and green, and the chips are staggered. Yan Song, who is already an octogenarian, and his wife are full of white hair and sit in the center. Children and grandchildren Yan Shifan, Yan Hong, Yan Hu, Yan Shaoqing and others sat on both sides. Lu Lanzhen and Yan Shifan's concubines are also there, with fat powder hairpins, jade and red makeup, endless laughter and joy.

Old Madam Ouyang's face was full of red light, and her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile. The old lady accompanied Yan Song when she was young, studied hard in the cold window, once she was in high school, she was used to seeing the turmoil of the imperial court, and when she lived to this age, she no longer had any greed for money, power, glory and wealth in her heart. She only cares about the happiness of her children and grandchildren, and cares about the great-grandchildren who will hold the next generation earlier. She didn't care about the political struggles of the Yan family, the Xu family, and the Lu family. She also heard about the Lu family and the Xu family's rivalry for husband before, and hesitated about it, but she didn't bother to compare who was more powerful between Lu Bing and Xu Jie, and who had a deep relationship with Yan Fuzheng, and didn't pay much attention to the only son Yan Shifan's calculations there. Marrying a granddaughter-in-law, for the sake of family harmony, Yan Hong loves to marry Miss Lu, that is Miss Lu. And this time, she didn't pay attention to what impact Xu Jie's granddaughter married as a concubine on the direction of the imperial court. It's just that her grandson is so eye-catching, which makes the old lady feel proud and proud.

"Shi Fan, what did Wei Niang say at the beginning? This Hong'er is not only handsome, but also really capable. Look at it, don't say that Lan Zhen, a handsome girl like a flower, fell in love with Hong'er, this granddaughter of Xu Ge Lao was actually willing to be a concubine and marry Hong'er. However, Hong'er, you must not love one by one. Lan Zhen is so good to you, if you bully her, don't talk about your father-in-law, Lu Dadudu. The old body can't spare you! ”

Yan Shifan also laughed wildly at this time. This fat-headed, big-eared fat traitor. Although the face is distorted due to laughter. The appearance of the guide is more crooked than in the past, but the joy on his face makes this fat face more durable than before: "What my mother said is true." Hong'er, although Miss Xu is a concubine when she marries, you can't treat her badly. Lan Zhen, you are the main room, she is the side room, but Xu Ge Lao is quite noble in the court. And you should get along with each other. You are two years older than Miss Xu, so let Miss Xu do well. ”

Lu Lanzhen replied softly: "Father-in-law's orders, Lan Zhen remembered. When Miss Xu came to the door, I was commensurate with her sister and didn't dare to hold it up. ”

Yan Song twisted his beard and said: "We are a big family, and we still have to talk about etiquette." Lan Zhen, your rules as a lady are also indispensable. However, I think Xu Zisheng's family education is very strict, and I have heard that the young lady of the Xu family is very virtuous, so after she gets married, she should also abide by women's morals. Respect Lan Zhen, and don't make a mistake. Yue Li is on top. Lan Zhen, as long as you have a humble wife and concubine, then Hong'er's back house will naturally live in peace. If there's something wrong, your grandma is in charge. Hong'er, the head of your family, don't be biased. ”

Yan Hong hurriedly said: "The child doesn't dare." ”

The little fat man Yan Shaoqing interjected: "The eldest brother has always been a good gentleman in the back house, don't look at the majesty of killing the widow and beating the white lotus outside, the back house has always been good-tempered." If he is eccentric, let alone Sister Lan Zhen, even the other sisters will not be able to spare him! ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and Mrs. Ouyang looked at the Bao Chan who was serving wholeheartedly behind her, and sighed again: "Hey, it's just that since this Miss Xu family is going to get started, I'm afraid that the matter of Bao Chan and that Miss Zhang will also be delayed in turn." ”

Yan Song nodded and said, "That's right, Xu Zisheng's granddaughter is also a little aggrieved to be a concubine for my Yan Mansion." The Sun family and Shen'er, who were admitted to the room first, were just two, how could they be ranked at the back again. By the way, since Hong'er wants to marry Miss Xu, then Hu'er's marriage has to be pressed back. This is called the order of the younger brother not to cross the brother. Hey, there are so many happy events in our house, it's really tiring. Old Yan Song said that it was troublesome, and there was a smile between the wrinkles on his face, and he couldn't see any unhappyness.

Yan Hu, the second grandson of Yan Mansion, has already decided to marry the young lady of the Dingguo family. Speaking of which, the Duke of Dingguo is the descendant of Xu Da, the great hero of the founding of the country, and his status in the dynasty is naturally first-class, but after all, there is no power, although he enjoys the honor and wealth, but compared to the second assistant Xu Jie, it is much inferior. In addition, in the current dynasty, the noble forces have always been pressed by civil officials, so the same surname is Xu, this Dingguo Gong's majesty is not as good as Xu Ge's old, and the girl of Dingguo's family is not as good as Xu Ge's granddaughter. Of course, if you insist on paying attention, they are all married to the sons of the Yan Mansion, the Dingguo family is a wife, and the Xu Ge family is a concubine, it seems that the former is a little more glorious. However, it is precisely because of this gap that it is destined that the Yan Mansion must be more involved in the ceremony of the marriage in Xu Ge's hometown. Otherwise, this will be a naked slap on Xu Jie's face.

In this way, Yan Hu's marriage was postponed last year because Yan Hong married Lu Lanzhen, and it was moved backwards for the second time. At this moment, the Second Young Master of the Yan Mansion no longer had the strength to argue or express dissatisfaction with this. He gritted his teeth, trying not to express the anger in his chest, and pretended to be smiling on his face. Although this face has fine skin and tender flesh and delicate facial features, under this expression, it looks quite unattractive, and it happens to form a sharp confrontation with his father Yan Shifan.

Yan Shifan also noticed Yan Hu's appearance. After all, Yan Hu is relative to Yan Hong, and he is an adopted son who is closer to him, Yan Shifan was afraid that he would show off in front of Yan Song and his wife, so he hurriedly said: "Hu'er, why don't you speak?" Come, you can also toast your eldest brother. As he spoke, he secretly stretched out his leg and kicked Yan Hu hard under the table.

Yan Hu listened to his father's words, and felt that he was kicked hard, so he had to reluctantly raise his cup and said, "Big brother, it's a blessing, Miss Lu is married, and Miss Xu is competing to come over." Sister-in-law, you have to keep a close eye on my eldest brother, he has this ability, pretty one. Miss Xu came over, I don't know how many famous ladies in Beijing are staring at him, don't ...... Hahaha. Pi Xiaorou said without smiling, took a sip, poured all the wine in the cup into his throat, tears flowed up in his eyes, his face quickly flushed, and he quickly lowered his head and coughed a few times.

Mrs. Ouyang sighed: "Hu'er, the marriage between you and Miss Dingguo has been delayed again and again, and grandma also knows that you have something in your heart." Hey, the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, the eldest brother can marry Xu Gelao's granddaughter, and you are also glorious, don't look like a child anymore, ah? ”

Yan Hu scolded in his heart: "What the hell is this called, the concubine is pressed in front of Lao Tzu to marry a wife, Lao Tzu suffers a dumb loss, and he can't be depressed?" But he didn't dare to talk back to his grandmother, so he had to grit his teeth and force a happy face.

That night, the second young master Yan Hu was drunk and unconscious, and was carried back to his yard by the servants. The next morning, two domestic servants in the courtyard were beaten with a big stick by the second young master because they did not deliver tea in time, and they almost lost half their lives.

Within a few days, the news that Yan Ge's hometown and Xu Ge's hometown had kissed each other again spread in Beijing. Xu Gelao's granddaughter married the Yan family as a concubine! The uproar caused by such a news is a few points bigger than last year's movement between Xu Lu and the two beauties. So much so that when some people hear the news, their instinctive reaction is, where did this come from a fool who made up nonsense, and idiots believe it! But then, it was rumored that an auspicious day for marriage had been set, which was on March 28 in the 38th year of Jiajing. Moreover, the families of Xu Mansion and Yan Mansion went out and did not deny the news. Even, in the court, there were officials who impeached Xu Jie's marrying his granddaughter as a concubine, which was self-willing, and lost the dignity of the court. Of course, this kind of pure newcomer to the imperial history jumped out to attract attention when he was full, and no one took it seriously. Jin Yan was dragged down by Emperor Jiajing's order and beaten with twenty court rods, so he was honest.

Regarding the legend of Miss Xu as a concubine, there are roughly three public opinion orientations on the market. Some people think that Xu Ge is the second assistant of the old and dignified court, and there are so many outstanding children of official eunuchs, and he actually married a granddaughter who is like a flower and jade to someone as a concubine, which is really a shame for the old face of the leader of Shilin. It seems that this minister of the DPRK and the Central Committee has nothing more than that, and his character and morality are nothing more than that, well-dressed beasts, don't they still kneel and lick in order to tend to the flames? In such a comparison, these people who are talking about it suddenly feel that they occupy the moral high ground, and they have more reason to scold Fang Xuan, so they are tired for a day, and when they stand on the side of the street and watch the rich and noble people go away, they also have more confidence to scold and scold, "Although Lao Tzu is poor, he is cleaner than you......" Of course, there are many scholars who hold this point of view who are originally readers who have a worry-free life, or court officials. Most of them hated iron and steel, and sighed that people's hearts were not ancient, how could Xu Ge be so shameless.

The second point of view is mainly admiring the power of Yan Ge's hometown. Look, Yan Ge Lao himself is the first assistant of the cabinet, needless to say. His son Yan Shifan is known as the elder of the small pavilion, ruling the world, and it is said that there are more than 200 aunts and wives in the family, and some of them can't take the turn of a night a year. Now, the dignified Xu Ge has married his granddaughter as a concubine, which is the rhythm of the limelight to overshadow the emperor! Oh, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense.

There is also a third wave of people, who are sighing, now that the daughter of the Lu family is married to Yan Gongzi as his wife, and the Miss Xu family has given him a concubine, Yan Hong, the little king of Yama who was powerful in the market back then, shoulders the joint force of the three wealthy families, what step can he do in his future? There are also the noble sons and daughters of the Jingshi, who have been attached to Yan Hong before, and now they are the icing on the cake. When Yan Hong married Sun Yuerong as a concubine, in order to please Yan Hong, these princes and uncles made fun of each other, and even introduced Sun Yuerong's concubine room, which was more grand than the ceremony of marrying a wife in an ordinary official eunuch's family. Now that the eldest prince of Yan is going to take a concubine again, and he is accepting the granddaughter of the second assistant of the dignified cabinet, can this majesty be smaller than that of a female thief before? Therefore, these noble and wealthy families are also gearing up, ready to make another grand wedding that is better than the previous one. Throughout February, public opinion in Beijing was drowned in the warm-up atmosphere of the marriage between Yan and Lu.
