When this happened, Concubine Yun was in a bad mood, and Yan Ran was inconvenient to visit at this time.

She had already shown her face in front of Concubine Yun today, which left an impression on her, and it was not too late to think about it in the long run.

So, she took her leave for the time being and returned to Jialan Temple.

Yan Ran saw a few more carriages outside the temple, and the carriages had the sign of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion on them.

Qingxuan said worriedly: "Girl, why didn't Mrs. Song come down the mountain and come to Jialan Temple again, didn't you come to us?" ”

Yan Ran had long expected that the two ancestors and grandsons would not give up, but they were not afraid, and said calmly: "It's okay, this matter has been closed in front of Concubine Yun, and they can't overturn it, at most, they will find fault elsewhere." Now that we know they have bad intentions, we need to be careful. ”

Yan Ran said, and entered the courtyard, only to see Grandma Sun pacing back and forth, her eyes staring at the direction of the door.

When Mama Sun saw Yan Ran, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward: "Girl, you are finally back, the old lady is in a hurry to see you!" ”

Yan Ran nodded, handed a few red plums in her arms to Grandma Sun, and said, "Trouble Mama to find a beautiful bottle and insert this plum blossom." If it's cold today, my grandmother shouldn't go out and walk around, and it's good to look at the scenery in the house. ”

Mama Sun took the plum blossom and responded again and again.

Yan Ran followed Mama Sun to the meditation room where Mrs. Yan lived, and before she entered the house, she heard a burst of laughter from inside.

Yan Ran lifted the curtain and entered the house, and sure enough, Song Lao Taijun and Song Jinghui were here, and Wen also accompanied her, and Yan Yao was nowhere to be seen.

When Wen saw Yan Ran, he greeted her gently: "Ran'er, come and see the old lady and the prince of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion!" ”

Yan Ran walked over as she said and saluted Mrs. Song and Song Jinghui, her expression was indifferent, and she couldn't see the-for-tat just now.

Mrs. Song's eyes narrowed slightly, she didn't smile at her, and she secretly thought in her heart, it seems that this girl is really not a good person!

Old Madam Yan said to Yan Ran: "Grandmother heard that you and Song Shizi don't know each other, but it is also a good fate. ”

Wen echoed: "Yes, the old lady is magnanimous, and he doesn't care about you, but he even praises you for your intelligence." In my opinion, our beautiful face and the son of the world are extraordinary, but they are really like a golden boy and a girl! ”

Wen's words made the two old men present laugh.

Mrs. Yan was really happy, and felt that if Yan Ran could marry highly, it would be of great benefit to Yan's Mansion.

As for the deep meaning of Mrs. Song's smile, it is very intriguing.

Yan Ran glanced at Wen, with a cold sneer in her eyes.

Wen's heart suddenly sudden, and suddenly she felt a little embarrassed that she saw through her heart, and subconsciously looked away.

When Wen looked over again, Yan Ran had already lowered her eyes, as if it was just her illusion.

Wen knew that Yan Yao wanted to avoid suspicion, but Mrs. Yan called Yan Ran to meet the foreign man, and talked about the marriage in front of her, and deliberately mentioned her outstanding appearance in her words.

What Wen's intentions were, how could Yan Ran not know.

She fell into the well so undisguisedly, it can be seen that she was forced to be in a hurry, and she couldn't even care about disguise.

Yan Ran lowered her eyes and behaved well-behaved: "Marriage matters, the orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, Ran'er obeys her father's arrangement." ”

Yan Ran did not express her position, did not say agree or refuse, and showed extreme filial piety.

Old Madam Yan was extremely satisfied with her reaction, pulled her to her side, and gossiped with Mrs. Song again.

Song Jinghui sat behind Song Lao Taijun, glancing at Yan Ran from time to time, and the coveting and ambition in his eyes were very explicit.

Yan Ran remained unmoved, her face was pale and unaffected.

After taking a nap today, Master Yan took Yan Qiyou out to play.

He is an official in the court, busy with official business, and it is rare to travel, today when he came to Jingshan, he couldn't help but think of the wild fun in the countryside and mountains when he was a child, and on a whim, he took Yan Qiyou to the mountain to catch birds.

It was rare for the father and son to get along so happily, and they didn't come back until dinner.

After Master Yan came back, he had just changed his clothes and was called over by Mrs. Yan urgently.

Mrs. Yan excitedly discussed with him the matter of Xuanping Hou's Mansion proposing marriage to Yan Ran: "Today, Ran'er and the prince of Xuanping Hou's Mansion don't know each other, and the old lady takes a fancy to Ran'er and wants to ask for the prince's marriage. If Ran'er marries him, she will be Mrs. Houfu in the future, and she can also help You'er! ”

Old Madam Yan was dreaming of joy, but was extinguished by Master Yan's words: "Mother, this matter is not allowed." ”

Old Madam Yan was puzzled: "Such a good fate, why not?" ”

In the affairs of the court, Master Yan is not easy to explain to Mrs. Yan, and even if he says it, she may not be able to understand.

So, Master Yan only said: "My son and Xuanping Hou have a disagreement, and it is just a whim for the old lady to come to this family business, and Xuanping Hou will not agree." ”

Mrs. Yan didn't understand the affairs of the court, but since Mrs. Yan didn't agree, she was of the same mind as her son, so she calmed down and said: "It's okay, after all, Ran'er is the eldest daughter of my Yan Mansion. ”

Master Yan nodded in agreement.

Although Yan Ran has no maternal support, she is also the eldest daughter of Yan Fu's eight classics, and she shines not long after entering the hall, which shows that she is smart.

She was born like Zhang's again, Yanli is very beautiful, why can't she marry high?

And Yan Yao has Wen's noble mother, who is related to the royal family, and she is not worried about finding good relatives.

For the marriage of these two daughters, he must plan well to let them give full play to their value.

Old Man Yan came out of Mrs. Yan's room and went to look for Yan Ran, wanting to ask what happened today.

As soon as Master Yan entered the door, he saw Yan Ran weeping in front of the mirror.

When Yan Ran saw Master Yan, she hurriedly got up, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, which was pitiful.

Old Man Yan was slightly stunned, he had never seen Yan Ran crying, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

Yan Ran got up and forced a smile on her face: "Dad, why are you here?" ”

Old Man Yan wanted to question, but when he saw Yan Ran's appearance, his voice was much softer: "Today, what happened to you and Song Shizi?" ”

Yan Ran seemed to be touched with sadness, and shed a few tears, choked up and explained the cause and effect to Master Yan.

At the end, she reminded again: "Dad, then Song Shizi clearly misunderstood and resented his daughter, but he suddenly asked to marry, do you know that he didn't mean revenge?" If his daughter really marries into the Hou Mansion as he wishes and suffers a lot, his daughter is only afraid that she will ......"

Yan Ran choked, but the unfinished words made Master Yan's heart froze.

He thought that the Song family had fallen for Yan Ran in the truth, but he didn't want to have such a bad fate among them.

Now even if he has the heart to marry the Marquis of Xuanping, Yan Ran is not the best candidate.

She has made a feud with Song Jinghui, how can she get married?

is to marry her into the Hou Mansion, she will not get the attention and favor of her husband's family, not to mention that she can't help the Yan Mansion, and maybe it will affect the Yan Mansion, which is really worth the loss.

Thinking of this, Old Man Yan became even more determined to reject this family business, and swore to Yan Ran: "Ran'er, don't worry, that Song Shizi is not a good match, Dad will never marry you to him, Dad will definitely find you an excellent marriage in the future!" ”

Yan Ran knew that Master Yan and Xuanping Hou were at odds and would not marry him, but in order to prevent the Wen family from blowing the pillow wind, she still showed weakness and cried about this scene.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Yan Ran burst into tears and smiled, gave a blessing to Master Yan, and said playfully: "My daughter thanked Daddy!" ”

Yan Ran has always been cold and hard, and it is rare to show this little daughter's feelings, Master Yan's heart softened, and he left happily.

As soon as Master Yan left, Yan Ran immediately held back her tears, and there was still half a trace of sadness.

Qingxuan was amazed by Yan Ran's face-changing skills, and admired and admired: "Girl, you are really like a god, the master is really as you think, and he does not agree with this family business!" ”

Yan Ran said: "My father and Xuanping Hou are political enemies, if they are married, won't they let the officials see the joke?" Besides, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion is declining day by day, and the prince is so unsuccessful, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Hou Mansion is going downhill, how can a shrewd person like my father who has no profit or no plans make friends with him? ”

Qingxuan admired: "Girl, you are so powerful, you can even see the affairs of the court clearly!" If you were a man, you would be a big man! ”

Yan Ran smiled, how could she have the ability to turn her hands into clouds and turn her hands into rain like Wen Xiangguo, she just lived one more life and could see through people's hearts better.

After Wen returned to the room, Yan Yao hurriedly looked for her: "Mother, my daughter heard that the old lady of the Xuanping Hou Mansion fell in love with Yan Ran's little slut and asked to marry her as the princess of the Hou Mansion, why did she get such a good marriage?!" ”

Seeing Yan Yao's anxious expression, Wen said angrily: "What kind of good place is the Xuanping Marquis Mansion?" There is no master mother in the back house of the Hou Mansion, and the family affairs are in the hands of the old lady. The old lady is shrewd and domineering, and he is the only one, so Song Jinghui is also an unsuccessful person, and he will only mess with flowers and grass. What about the princess, in less than two years, if she is either out of human form after being tortured, she will be in a group of husbands and concubines, and she will keep the empty room alone! ”

Yan Yao immediately turned his anger into joy: "I see! ”

Wen sighed: "It's a pity, your father and Xuanping Hou are not in harmony, he will not agree to this marriage." ”

When Yan Yao heard this, she immediately begged: "Mother, then we have to think of a way to promote this good marriage!" ”

Wen patted Yan Yao's hand and said with a malicious smile: "Yao'er and her mother thought of going together, but that little hoof suddenly opened up, and we still need to find a foolproof way." ”

*

Early in the morning, Yan Ran was still lying in bed, when she suddenly heard someone slamming the door, and shouted anxiously: "Girl, Qingxuan is gone, how can this be good?" ”

Yan Ran suddenly felt excited, and there was no sleepiness at all, so she put on her clothes and opened the door, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The maid hurriedly said: "The slave maid kept vigil for the girl yesterday, and Qingxuan should have come in the morning to change her duty, but she has been delayed." The slave and maid went to look for her, but they couldn't find her! ”

Yan Ran's heart sank, and he ordered: "You go and tell the master and the abbot about this matter, and I'll go find someone first!" ”

Yan Ran inquired from a little master that Qingxuan seemed to be heading in the direction of the front hall, and hurriedly looked for it.

Yan Ran ran all the way to the front hall, and saw Qing Xuan lying on the ice of the release pond from a distance, her eyes closed, and her complexion was purple.

Yan Ran didn't know what happened to Qingxuan, but seeing her fainting from the cold, she didn't know whether she was alive or dead, so she was out of proportion for a while, and she sped up and ran over.

Xu was due to the winter, the edge of the pool was frozen, Yan Ran slipped and fell, and the whole person slid down the sloped edge of the pool, and pounced straight on the ice.

But who expected, the originally heavy ice surface was smashed open by her, causing her to plunge headlong into the biting cold pool water.
