On the second day after Qin Nanfeng left, Yun Jiao remembered about Li'er, and went to Qingyu Courtyard after breakfast.

Xia Jingshu fed Li'er something to eat, and couldn't help but be a little surprised when she came: "Jiao'er, you are here, I also said that when Li'er has breakfast, I will go to look for you, you are faster than me." ”

"Sister-in-law." Yun Jiao called her and casually teased Lian'er: "Good baby, do you miss your aunt today?" ”

Li'er fluttered her two little hands and smiled and asked her to hug her.

"Come, auntie." Yun Jiao took the child from Manqing's hand and played with it for a while, then gave the child to Manqing again, and sat down to talk to Xia Jingshu.

"Sister-in-law." Yun Jiao looked at her with a smile: "I came to tell you about the name yesterday, but I forgot an important thing. ”

"What?" Xia Jingshu asked curiously, raised her hand and asked her subordinates to put away the table, got up to two teas, and pushed Yun Jiao a cup of tea.

"On the day of the correct name, won't the patriarch come with the other elders of the clan?" Yun Jiao smiled: "I remember that Li'er has not yet entered the family tree, and there are witnesses at the time, so I happened to do this thing together, which can be regarded as double happiness, what does my sister-in-law think?" ”

She has been busy with her mother's name for the past two days, and she almost forgot about Li'er's entry into the family tree.

My brother was busy with the errand of the yamen, so he didn't think about it, and she suddenly remembered it when she was having breakfast.

"I'm going to talk to you about this." Xia Jingshu took her hand and laughed: "Just now, my father came here and said that he would enter the family tree for Li'er the day after tomorrow, and asked me to prepare first." ”

Yun Jiao was stunned: "Does my brother know?" ”

The day after tomorrow?

Didn't Yan Huan tell her that he wanted five days?

Why was it so fast, and why didn't you inform her?

"Your brother went to the yamen early in the morning, he doesn't know." Xia Jingshu shook her head, and continued: "I also said that I called you to go out together, go and choose a few new clothes for Li'er, and keep them to wear when the time comes." ”

"Then let's go." Yun Jiao nodded, got up as she spoke, still having some doubts in her heart.

What does this mean?

If the date is set, you should tell her.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xia Jingshu saw that there was something wrong with her expression.

"Sister-in-law, let me ask you, did you mention Yan Huan that in addition to the patriarch and those elders in the clan the day after tomorrow, who else are there?" Yun Jiao asked her.

Xia Jingshu thought for a while and shook her head: "If it is just to enter the family tree, and to correct the names of you and your mother, I'm afraid it's just these people, you know, my father wants to be faced, and he definitely doesn't want to make a big deal of it." ”

Yun Jiao thought for a moment when she heard this: "Sister-in-law, you wait for me, I'll come to you later." ”

"Huh?" Xia Jingshu was not surprised: "Jiao'er, where are you going?" ”

"I'll be back soon, and my sister-in-law will wait for me to go to the market with you." Yun Jiao replied, then walked out of the Qingyu Courtyard and went straight to Yan Huan's study.

But halfway up the road, I met Yan Huan.

"Jiao'er." When Yan Huan saw her, he showed a somewhat kind smile.

Yun Jiao only felt uncomfortable being laughed at by him: "I have something to ask you." ”

"I just have something to say to you, why don't you say it first?" Yan Huan looks like he is very good at talking.

"Let's talk first." Yun Jiao looked directly at him.

"Okay, I'll say it first, the date has been set, and I'm going to go to the Pianjiao Pavilion to inform you, it's the day after tomorrow.

I have already invited the patriarch and the elders of the clan, you still have your aunt there, you can bring your uncle and your eldest aunt in the next two days. "The words are quite reasonable.

"I'll do that, of course." Yun Jiao stared at him closely: "What I want to tell you, it's exactly this matter, I have heard my sister-in-law say, you still plan to enter the family tree for Li'er on that day, right?" ”

"Yes." Yan Huan nodded: "Li'er has also been back for so long, and it is time to enter the family tree." ”

"As far as I know, it's not a trivial matter to join the family tree, it's time to invite some guests back to have a lively and lively feast, right?" Yun Jiao looked at him and asked.

"It stands to reason that it should be." Yan Huan nodded, and was a little embarrassed: "But you are in a hurry, isn't it too hasty?" I thought, so I'll be more concise. ”

"Nope." Yun Jiao simply rejected him: "Let's not talk about my name, you promised me that I would make it public, just say that the matter of Li'er entering the family tree was originally a great joy, this matter must be done in a big way, and the people who should be invited still have to be invited." ”

Li'er is her brother's eldest daughter and her only niece, so it is naturally a baby bump, and everything that should be done is indispensable.

"But there is only one day left tomorrow, and it's too late to ......" Yan Huan was very embarrassed: "Jiao'er, you can be accommodating...... Dad agreed to your request, so don't let you go a single step......"

"It's okay." Yun Jiao interrupted him and said decisively: "If you can't do it, I'll come by myself, and I'll take the invitation or something." ”

What is Yan Huan's idea, she doesn't know in her heart.

But she understands that after passing down the family clan from her ancestors for so many years, she has produced Yan Huan, the most promising, and now she is a dignified member of the court.

This is enough to make those people of the clan walk sideways on the Zhuangzi.

What patriarch is talking about, what elders in the clan, don't all have to listen to the words?

If there were no other people, those people in the clan would not speak for her little daughter's family, but anyone with brains would be happy with words.

She must prevent such a thing from happening, so the banquet is a must.

And when the time comes, you'll have to bring a few people in.

"Then ...... That's not necessary, I'll do it, I'll go write a post now. Yan Huan hesitated for a moment, and then said in a consultative tone: "Jiao'er, if you see if this will work, I will invite those relatives at home and those people in the officialdom...... Or don't move, right? Otherwise, I really won't have the face to see people in the future.

Even if I beg you. ”

He looked pleading, but he was thinking in his heart that the day after tomorrow, even those relatives would not be qualified to go to the ancestral hall of Houtou.

At that time, the ancestral hall will be full of his people, and Yang Huijun's subordinates will also be ready, and they are worried about dealing with a little girl?

As for not inviting colleagues in the officialdom, it is indeed that he wants to save some face for himself.

Yun Jiao paused and nodded: "Then do as you say." ”

"Thank you, Dad, thank you." Yan Huan's face was full of gratitude: "Then I'll go now, it will be done soon, don't worry." ”

Yun Jiao looked at his back, frowning slightly, Yan Huan didn't seem to have any resentment towards her, but was full of gratitude, which was very wrong.

can think about it, but I can't think of what the problem is, and what loopholes Yan Huan still has to exploit.

She stood in place for a moment, then turned around to look for Xia Jingshu.

……

On this day, it was a sunny day.

Yun Jiao got up early, she didn't dress up, but wore plain clothes, and put on a stick of incense in front of Aunt Qian's tablet.

"Mother." She squatted in front of the tablet and whispered while turning paper money: "You have been waiting for this day for a long time, right?"

When you were alive, you never fought or grabbed, and you made me endure everywhere.

Since you went, I realized that the forbearance that has been going on will only make them feel that we are weak and can be bullied, only if I really stand up and slap them twice when they slap me, they will not dare to bully us again, and we can get back what belongs to us.

It's a pity that I understood this truth too late, and I didn't protect you. ”

When she speaks, she is calm and focused, and she doesn't seem to have much sadness.

Pu Jia couldn't help wiping away her tears in the back, if only her aunt were still alive.

Even if she is weak, no matter how useless she is, she is the girl's mother, and when the girl comes back, she always has someone to snuggle up to, who can let her talk coquettishly, and if she has a mother, she will have a home, which is not bad at all.

The girl has had a hard time in the past ten years.

Fortunately, there will be Young Master Qin in the future, Young Master Qing is so good to the girl, the girl will not have to suffer in the future, everything will be fine.

Yun Jiao threw all the remaining paper money into the fire, got up and patted the ashes on her hands, and took a careful look at the tablet on the table: "Mother, you wait, I'll go and get your things for you." ”

She said so, and simply turned around and walked out.

She had long since passed the time to grieve, and it was not appropriate to think about it now.

It is very likely that Yan Huan will not give up at all, and what she has to face today may be more difficult than before, but she will not back down.

"Jiao'er, are you going to the front now?" The second aunt, Ding, walked out of the house.

"Yes." Yun Jiao smiled at her: "Second aunt and mother should rest here first, no one has come here yet, I will ask someone to call you when I turn around." ”

She didn't send anyone to invite her second uncle, not only because her second aunt said that the shop at home was inseparable from her second uncle, but also because she felt unnecessary.

It's enough to have a second aunt here, but it's just a formality.

After arranging the second aunt, she planned to go ahead to take a look, but when she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she stopped and was silent for a moment.

She finally turned around and ordered, "Pu Jia, go and fetch me the contents of the bedside table." ”

There was nothing beside it, only a delicate and sharp little dagger, which Qin Nanfeng gave her before, saying what kind of magic weapon it was, and what name it was, she forgot it, but remembered that he said to let her keep it for self-defense.

Because she had the hidden jewelry he had given her before, she had never used this dagger.

But she just remembered that once these secret weapons are activated, they will kill people, and those people in the clan are not easy to die, but if they die, it is not a trivial matter.

After thinking about it, she decided to bring a dagger to defend herself, and as for the hidden weapons, she had to save them for last resort.

Pu Jia was quick with her hands and feet, and quickly took the dagger.

Yun Jiao put it away carefully, and then headed outside.

She straightened her back, her pace was slightly fast, today, it was not only a matter for her and her mother, but also a major event for Li'er to enter the family tree, she thought, and there was some high-spirited meaning between her steps.

Since she is a concubine, she should also go to the front to entertain guests.

However, only those relatives in the family, those who are far away have no time to come, so in fact, there are not many people.

It's just that before she reached the front hall, she met someone head-on.

"Girl, it's the fourth aunt, should we go around?" Pu Jia reminded in a whisper on the side.

"No, you don't." Yun Jiao's complexion did not change at all.

She is above board, and she hasn't done anything unseemly, so why is she hiding?

Sometimes, the down-and-out will be fine, if it is sneaky, it is easy to spread some ugly words, just half-way, there is nothing to avoid.

"Jiao'er......" Ru Yu's expression was complicated, and when she saw her blurt out, she called out, and when she came back to her senses, she felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't help but blush: "Yes...... Sorry ......"

He just called Shun Kou, and when he saw her, his mind seemed to be a little unbright, and he shouted out without thinking.

"Fourth brother-in-law." Yun Jiao saluted him.

"Hmm......" Ru Yu waved her hand, so she was not embarrassed: "No...... You're welcome......"

Yun Jiao straightened up and looked at him.

He also looks like Pan An as before, especially the warmth between his eyebrows and eyes, which makes him look a little better when he has an excellent appearance.

It's just that now he seems to be less youthful and a little more calm, and his expression has lost his original spirit.

Yun Jiao sighed that he was still a bit of a father in the end.

"If the fourth brother-in-law is fine, then I will go to the front first." Yun Jiao saw that he had been standing and didn't speak, and she didn't mean to get out of the way, so she had to speak first.

"Wait a minute......" Ruyu stopped her: "That...... I have something to say to you, can you take a step to speak? ”

He said and looked around, he was afraid that he would be alone with her for a long time, so that others would look at some storms, which would be bad for her.

"Is there anyone else here, the fourth brother-in-law can just say something if he has something to say, right?" Yun Jiao didn't want to get involved with him.

She also wanted to go to the door to take a look, Xiao Wu said that she came back today, and she hadn't seen anyone yet, and she didn't know if there was something delayed on the road.

Ru Yu was a little embarrassed, and she held back for a long time before she said: "You...... Be careful when you go to the ancestral hall today, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid someone will treat you badly......"

He felt a little that he shouldn't come, Qin Nanfeng must have been prepared and would protect her.

However, thinking of what Yun Shu said, he was not at ease.

What if, what if something really happens?

He didn't remind him, and he always felt that he couldn't be at peace.

"Okay." Yun Jiao nodded and looked at him softly: "Thank you, fourth brother-in-law, then I'll go to the front first." ”

No matter what happened in the past, Ru Yu can remind her at this time that she really cares about her.

In fact, she was also to blame for what happened at the beginning, and she didn't take a good proposition for a while, which put the two of them in such an embarrassing situation.

If there was no such thing as a marriage at the beginning, then they should still be friends now.

But after retiring from her family, she still took Ruyu as a friend, but with that kind of thing, she always had to avoid it, not because she was afraid that people outside would say anything ugly, but she didn't want him to have any misunderstandings.

She said as she walked around him and headed forward.

Ru Yu turned around and looked at her back, with a bit of attachment and reluctance in her eyes, and finally sighed and followed.
