Chapter 013: Chance Encounter
Hearing that Mama Qin went to Ning Xinzhai, Yan Muyun didn't care about freshening up and went to her mother Qin Wanru's room, obviously for her sister Yan Mutong, but in private it was to find out her mother's purpose of instigating Mama Qin to go to Ning Xinzhai.
The mother and daughter know each other well, but they refuse to say anything.
Just when Qin Wanru felt irritable, Mama Qin came back.
"How?" Qin Wanru asked eagerly, "Did you ask clearly?"
"Ask clearly, it's the same as what we heard before."
"Is that the Gu family?"
"Yes, it's the Gu family that Madame guessed."
"What Gu family?" Yan Muyun's heart tightened: "Mother and grandmother are talking about the Gu family who is married to the second sister." ”
"She's not your second sister." Qin Wanru glanced at Yan Muyun unhappily: "I only gave birth to two of your sisters, and your biological sister was calculated and is currently banned in the courtyard." ”
"It's Yun'er's mistake!" Yan Muyun's eyes rolled, and she reached out and pulled Qin Wanru's sleeve: "Yun'er naturally knows who Yun'er's sister is, and Yun'er said that for the sake of her mother." It's not that my mother doesn't know, my father has always been very concerned about his younger brother who left home at an early age, even from his grandmother, not to mention it, but also to miss it in his heart. This Yan Suwen has just come back, and it is the time to be favored, not only Yun'er has to follow her father's wishes, but also your mother, don't you also have to follow your father's wishes? These two sisters, the third sister is just a title, and her mother is a generous person, so how can she care about these little things. If Yun'er is still stubborn and refuses to change her words at this time, wouldn't she be honest and let her mother be blamed by outsiders for no reason, saying that her mother does not know how to raise her children. ”
"What the eldest lady said is that at this time, the lady must not be angry with the master."
"Isn't it that I feel sorry for Tong'er." With Mama Qin on the side to persuade her, Qin Wanru softened her face.
"The Gu family ...... that Mama Fang Cai said," Yan Muyun tentatively said.
"It's the Gu Yanqing you are thinking about." Qin Wanru said angrily: "That Yan Suwen is really a blessing, and he has been given such a good family matter before he leaves his mother's belly." ”
"What does my mother mean is that it was Gu Xiang who made a marriage contract with her second sister since she was a child?"
"At first, I didn't believe it, so I specially asked Mama Qin to send someone to inquire, but the master's tone was very tight, and it was never confirmed. Right now, there is another incident with Tong'er, and I really can't sit still, so I let Mama Qin go to Ning Xinzhai again. ”
"When the old slave went, Yan Lu was also there, and the old slave happened to hear his conversation with the country girl, and also asked for confirmation of the resignation."
"Then what did Yan Su say?"
"How dare she, a girl from the countryside, dare to be the wife of the prime minister of our Great Wei." Mama Qin pursed the corners of her mouth disdainfully: "Even if she has that blessing, she doesn't have that fate." Madam, what kind of person is this Gu Xiang, if he really wants to marry that Yan Su asked, can Old Madam Gu send someone to Yanjiazhuang to withdraw from her relatives? To put it bluntly, this retreat is not what Gu Xiang means. ”
"Naturally, it is the meaning of Gu Xiang. How many boudoir ladies in the capital were thinking about currying favor with Gu Xiang, and he didn't even want to look at it. She asked Yan Su if she was not a celestial immortal, why did she get Gu Xiang's favor, just by virtue of the marriage book in her hand? What kind of personality and temperament is Gu Xiang, how can she be restrained by a marriage letter. Yan Muyun was jealous, and what she said inevitably brought a little meanness.
"What the eldest lady said is that even if Gu Xiang doesn't dislike her humble status and vulgar words and deeds, she can't take that face to Gu Xiang by herself." Mama Qin lowered her body: "According to the old slave, in a few days, the Gu family will let someone come to pick up the marriage certificate." As soon as this family matter retreated, Yan Suwen naturally had no reason to continue to live in the house, and when the time came, Mrs. would find a reason to send people back to the countryside with dignity. Not only did the old man and the old lady say nothing, but even the people in the capital would only praise the lady. ”
"Or will you comfort me." Qin Wanru pursed her lips and smiled, her mood getting better and better.
"Then, what about Yun'er's business." Yan Muyun bit her lip, unconsciously nervous: "Earlier, my mother said that I would hand Yun'er's portrait to the palace, I don't know how ...... about this matter."
"What are you anxious about?" Qin Wanru glanced at Yan Muyun: "When has your mother never fulfilled what she promised you." The choice of relatives for Gu Yanqing was the news leaked from the palace, so naturally it can't be wrong. Your portrait, I have also asked someone to send it in, and Concubine Jing is here, this matter is not yellow. It's just that for now, you still have to be patient. ”
"What my mother said, Yun'er understands, but Yun'er thinks that we still need to think about this matter." A bright light flashed under Yan Muyun's eyes: "The people of the Gu family have not moved for a long time, maybe they don't know that Yan Suwen has arrived in Yecheng with the marriage certificate." ”
Qin Wanru and Yan Muyun glanced at each other, and then gave Mama Qin a look. Mama Qin understood, lowered her head and retreated.
Seeing that the curtain fell, Yan Muyun turned around and bowed deeply to Qin Wanru: "Mother rest assured, Yun'er will live up to her mother's hard work." ”
"If only you knew." Qin Wanru patted Yan Muyun's hand and pulled her up: "This child's family affairs are also the face of the mother, if you really become the wife of the prime minister of our Great Wei in the future, your mother and I can be regarded as really raising her eyebrows." ”
"Mother rest assured, Yun'er will definitely do what her mother wants."
With her mother arranging it privately, and Concubine Jing taking care of her in the palace, Yan Muyun felt that it was only a matter of time before she married Gu Yanqing. The thought of becoming that man's wife made her want to rejoice.
Yan Muyun likes Gu Yanqing, and everyone in the entire Yan Mansion knows it.
Qin Wanru wants to match these two people, and wants Yan Muyun to become Gu Yanqing's wife, and then she herself becomes the prime minister's mother-in-law, which is also something that the entire Yan Mansion knows.
It's just that Mrs. Yan thinks that they are delusional and too lazy to pay attention, and Yan Baishu thinks that their mother and daughter are daydreaming and disdain to pierce them, as for the subordinates of Yan's mansion, they are all in the mood to watch the play.
Why?
Because the people in the entire Yecheng know that Gu Xiang is not a good stubble, and he doesn't seem to like women.
In the evening, Yan Suwen pulled Youbai and quietly slipped out of the side door of Yan's mansion.
There is a night market in Yecheng, which is inadvertently said by Youbai during the daytime chatting. Although Yan Suwen didn't like to be lively, she didn't want to nest in this Yan family's mansion that made her feel extremely restrained, so she let Youbai smuggle her out.
When night falls, the lights are on, and this ancient night market, which lacks a modern atmosphere, also has an atmosphere that fascinates Yan Suwen.
She dragged Youbai through the crowd, and when the freshness was over, she begged Youbai to take her to the shop that sold books.
The name of this shop is very strange, it is called the bookstore. It is said that the person who opened this bookstore was a monk who returned to the world, and the name of this bookstore is related to the scriptures that the monk recited in the early years. Yan Su asked if she didn't read the Buddhist scriptures, so naturally she couldn't tell the origin of the word, she stood at the door and looked at it for a while, and then walked in with Youbai.
The bookstore is quite large, and the interior furnishings also have the feel of a bookstore of her time. All kinds of books are divided into different categories, although the materials are different, but it is quite easy to find. On tiptoe, she searched the bookstore for a while before she saw the classification of medical books, she hurriedly ran over, but was stopped by two tall and strong men in brocade clothes who came out of nowhere.
"Please stop, girl!" Both men reached out at the same time.
"Stop? Can't you just read the book on it? Yan Suwen frowned, his gaze falling on the two men's swords.
"I can see it, but I can't now!" Again, in unison, as if they had been rehearsed in private.
"Why can't you now?"
"Because...... I am here! ”
This time, it was not the two men who had just stopped her in front of the bookshelf with a sword, but another somewhat familiar voice.
She looked at where the voice came from, but saw Gu Changfeng, who had lived with her in a broken temple in the wilderness all night. He stood in the corner of the bookshelf, only half of his face exposed in the light and shadow of the falling candlelight, and he was still holding an open volume of "Shennong's Hundred Herbs" in his hand.
Yan Su asked. He called her name, and the words were clear, without a trace of warmth and emotion.
"It's you!" Yan Su asked and pointed to the two men with swords: "They are your men, right?" Please tell them that I will not hurt you. I came, just to buy a few books. Don't worry, I'm looking for things quickly, and my movements are very light, so it won't affect your reading, and it won't cause you any trouble. So, can you get them to give way for a while? ”
Gu Changfeng looked at her coldly, without movement or reaction.
"Please, it's not easy for me to get out on a trip." Yan Suwen folded his hands, trying to impress the man in front of him with a cold expression and a guarded heart.
"You want to read?"
"Hmm!" Yan Suwen nodded first, then shook his head: "It's not to see, it's to buy, so I won't affect you for too long." ”
"Where do you live?"
"This ......," Yan Su asked, pointing to the medical books on the shelves, "Is there a necessary connection between where I live and what I want to buy?" ”
"What do you say?" Gu Changfeng threw the "Shennong Hundred Herbs Sutra" in his hand to Yan Suwen.
"That...... I don't want this one, I want to go in and choose it myself. Yan Suwen smiled awkwardly but politely: "It's not that I don't want the book you threw to me, but because I have read this one." Really, I swear, I read it when I was three, read it a second time when I was five, and memorize it by the time I was seven. ”
"Recite a paragraph."
"Oh? Back...... Memorize a paragraph? Right now? Yan Suwen thought sullenly, why do I have to memorize a paragraph, and you said let me memorize it, I will memorize it. I am also principled, self-respecting, and temperamental.
"You can memorize it at the age of seven."
"Yes."
"Prove it to me." Gu Changfeng glanced at the book in her hand: "Back, I'll let you in, don't carry it, take that book out." ”
