Yan Ran followed the internal officials to the Zen courtyard where the Queen Mother temporarily lived.

The Queen Mother was worshipping the Buddha, Yan Ran didn't dare to disturb, so she could only silently bow down in the courtyard, waiting in a proper manner.

The blazing sun scorched the bluestone floor hot, and Yan Ran was always in a kneeling position, motionless.

It wasn't until the Queen Mother finished saluting the Buddha that she turned around and saw Yan Ran, and called for exemption, that she got up.

The Queen Mother saw that Yan Ran's face did not change, her demeanor was generous, and she showed some approval on her face, and beckoned to her.

Yan Ran hurriedly stepped forward, and when the maidservant brought a basin of water to clean the hands of the Queen Mother, Yan Ran took the handkerchief and presented it to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother wiped her hands, looked at Yan Ran quietly, and said with a kind smile: "What a good-looking and clever girl, no wonder Yan'er disobeyed his mother for you, and you didn't want to marry!" ”

Yan Ran's eyes flashed slightly, and she lowered her head and said respectfully: "Thanks to the little grandfather's wrong love." ”

The Queen Mother raised her hand, and Yan Ran hurriedly bowed down to support her.

The Queen Mother asked as she walked out, "What do you think?" ”

Yan Ran said: "The matter of marriage, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the courtiers obey the arrangements of their parents and do not have any ideas. ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "It's a filial piety, so what do you think of Yan'er?" ”

Yan Ran said again: "The little grandfather is noble, Wen Tao is strategic, and he is a dragon and phoenix among people. ”

The Queen Mother sighed lightly: "Yes, Yan'er is so good, Minyang must regard him as a treasure, and it is understandable to choose a marriage for him, what do you say?" ”

Yan Ran said respectfully: "What the Queen Mother said is true. ”

The Queen Mother patted Yan Ran's hand gently: "You are a smart child, your mind is clear to the mourning family, and you will not be wronged." ”

Yan Ran saluted again and said, "The courtiers thanked the Queen Mother." ”

From beginning to end, Yan Ran did not express her attitude towards Wen Chengyan and this marriage, but the Queen Mother said that she was clear.

What the Queen Mother said clearly did not refer to Yan Ran's attitude, but what kind of attitude she wanted Yan Ran to have.

The Queen Mother's words were extremely vague, first blaming Yan Ran for destroying the mother-son relationship between Wen Chengyan and Minyang, and implying that her identity was not worthy of Wen Chengyan.

The Queen Mother ostensibly agreed to Wen Chengyan's invitation, but in fact, she just didn't want to be a villain.

It's ridiculous that Wen Chengyan still thinks that the Queen Mother will make decisions for him, but he forgets that the Queen Mother and Minyang are mother and daughter, and they are the same spirit.

Master Yan heard the news of the Queen Mother's summons of Yan Ran early in the morning, and after Yan Ran went back, he asked anxiously: "Ran'er, why did the Queen Mother summon you?" ”

Yan Ran truthfully retold the conversation between the two, and added: "Dad, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess don't seem to be optimistic about this marriage, I think it should be the little grandfather's own intention." ”

Old Man Yan pondered for a long time, his face was a little heavy, and said, "Dad knows." ”

Wen returned from Minyang, and the abbot had already recited sutras for Yan Qiyou to remove defilement, and gave a string of Buddha beads that had been opened to ward off evil spirits.

Master Yan took his family to bid farewell to the Queen Mother and Minyang.

On the way, Wen said to Master Yan: "Master, I have inquired with the eldest princess, and her preferred daughter-in-law is still Cui Ge's granddaughter, and she has no idea about Yan'er's marriage. ”

Master Yan said: "I know, since this matter is just a whim of him, and he has not officially bowed, the bento has not happened." ”

Wen's face was worried, but his heart was full of joy.

She originally saw Wen Chengyan come to Xiangguo Temple first, but she was afraid that he would be better at chess, so the Queen Mother would stand on his side.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother actually did not support Wen Chengyan.

But on the other hand, the Queen Mother's rhetoric towards Wen Chengyan changed, only that Yan Ran was unwilling and asked him to give up as soon as possible.

Of course, Wen Chengyan knew that Yan Ran was unwilling to marry him, but he didn't expect her to be so resolute, and she would directly explain her heart to the Queen Mother, and she couldn't help but look stunned.

The Queen Mother comforted Wen Chengyan and said: "Yan'er, marriage is a good marriage between two surnames, and the twisted melon is not sweet." The girl of the Yan family is unwilling, if you force her, won't it become a bad relationship? ”

Wen Chengyan understands the truth, but he is unwilling.

Wen Chengyan didn't give up, and went directly to Yan's mansion to propose marriage the next day, but Master Yan suddenly changed his mind and politely refused.

Yan Ran thought that the matter would end here, but she didn't expect that after a while, Wen Chengyan would come to the door again to propose marriage.

And this time, Master Yan actually agreed.

Yan Ran couldn't figure it out, so she asked Master Yan directly: "Dad, didn't the Queen Mother and the eldest princess disapprove of this marriage, why did you agree again?" ”

Master Yan swept away the previous gloom and seemed to be in a good mood, so he said to Yan Ran: "What if the Queen Mother and the eldest princess don't agree?" In the final analysis, the owner of the Dingguo Mansion is still the little grandfather, and his words are counted. Besides, even the Holy One thinks this matter is very good, and today he announced that I will inquire about the two of you! ”

Master Yan knew very well that the Queen Mother and Minyang did not agree with Wen Chengyan's request to marry Yan Ran, most likely because the Yan family did not have a deep foundation and was not their ideal in-law partner.

Master Yan is a literati in the end, although he has been immersed in officialdom for many years, he is still high in his bones.

He has always been the only one who looks down on people, and when he is looked down upon, he will inevitably feel humiliated and hurt.

But now, even Emperor Sheng is optimistic about this marriage, which makes him have a feeling of being recognized, and of course he is proud.

Yan Ran was secretly shocked, she didn't expect Wen Chengyan's obsession to be so deep that even Emperor Sheng moved out.

It seems that she can't escape this encounter.

However, the engagement is complicated with etiquette, and there are many processes in it, can it really be so smooth?

"Miss Yan, I heard that Grandpa Wen proposed to you, is this true?"

In the school hall, several girls came together to inquire about the situation from Yan Ran.

Yan Ran was surprised: "This, how do you know?" ”

The girls looked at each other, smiling, but they didn't speak.

Yan Ran knew in her heart that this matter was naturally spread by Yan Yao.

Although Wen Chengyan has fallen off the altar because of his public rudeness, there are still girls like Yan Yao who still regard him as an immortal.

When they learned such news, they inevitably hated Yan Ran, and even made some small moves in secret.

Yan Ran pretended to be embarrassed and said: "It's been mentioned, but it's just passed the Geng post, and it hasn't been written yet, so I don't know what the result will be." ”

After the man proposes to the woman, if the woman agrees, she will exchange Geng posts with the man for the purpose of asking for the name.

After asking the name, the najib should be performed, that is, to see if the birth dates of the man and woman are in harmony.

After this step, the family affair can be considered official.

Although Yan Ran said this, everyone knows that these are just a process, and few people Najib will admit the murder.

In addition, in order to ensure the accuracy of the divination results, the divination can be repeated three times.

If it is murderous once, it can be divined twice, and if it is murderous twice, it can also be divined three times.

Out of the three, there will always be one auspicious, right?

If the results of the three divination results are all fierce, then how these two people must be compatible!

This is a situation that few people encounter.

The girls did not sneer at Yan Ran, but laughed because they were curious about the engagement.

"It turns out that engagement is so troublesome, but I didn't think it sounded before."

"Hey, Miss Yan, is it your own wish that Little Grandpa Wen proposes to you, or are you already in love?"

"I used to think about what kind of woman a fairy character like Grandpa Wen had to be to match him! Now when I see Miss Yan, I think it should be Miss Yan! ”

"Yes, I used to think that no one could be worthy of the little grandfather, but since the last time...... Hehe, I suddenly realized that he was no different from an ordinary man, so I didn't think so. ”

"Miss Yan is good-natured, and she is rich and rich, so she is very compatible with the little grandfather!"

……

The conversation between Yan Ran and the girls naturally fell on Yan Yao's ears.

Yan Yao originally just wanted to find something unpleasant for Yan Ran, but she never thought that from their conversation, she found an excellent way to stop this family business.

After Najib, the family affair will be officially decided.

Can...... What if it's unlucky?

Qionghua Temple.

"Girl, the Dingguo Mansion has accepted auspiciousness twice, but the results are all fierce, the first time is fierce, and the second time is a big murder. Come to think of it, nine times out of ten, this marriage will not happen. ”

Yan Ran closed the door, set up a table of medicinal materials, was dispensing medicine, and when she heard Qingxuan's words, she gently curled the corners of her lips: "It seems that Yan Yao is not stupid." ”

Qingxuan's face was full of joy, and she was happier than what benefits she had gained when she saw that Yan Ran was relaxed.

Yan Ran was not at ease, and advised: "You go and tell Xuanqing, and then fanning the flames in the ears of Wen and Minyang." Najib is fierce twice in a row, and Wen Chengyan will definitely see that something is wrong. This last time, it's hard to guarantee that he won't use any means. I'm afraid they'll get carried away and be taken advantage of by him. ”

Qingxuan answered, and turned around and went out to find Xuanqing.

Yan Ran pinched a herb, and there was a cold light in her eyes.

Wen Chengyan wants to be engaged to Yan Ran, Minyang and Wen want to stop it, and the two sides compete secretly.

As a party to the case, Yan Ran watched the fire from the other side, and even planned when to add another handful of firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously.

If Wen Chengyan knew this, I don't know what kind of mood he would have.

Dingguo Mansion.

Wen Chengyan sealed a red bag, handed it to a black-clothed guard beside him, and said, "Tomorrow the divination is over, no matter what the result is, only this Jibu will be sent back." ”

The black-clothed guard took the bag and hesitated: "However, the divination is done in the temple, under the joint supervision of more than a dozen elders, everyone knows the good and the bad, how can it be replaced?" ”

Wen Chengyan's eyes turned pale, and a cold coldness burst out of his eyes: "Do you really think that the good luck and evil they divined are real?" If this were the case, they would not turn me away, close the door of the temple, do it secretly, and then send Bu Zhao out. Such a trick can only show that they have a ghost in their hearts! ”

Therefore, even if Bu Zhao was replaced, they couldn't say anything.

The black-clothed guard quickly reacted to Wen Chengyan's meaning and responded: "Yes, the subordinates obey the order!" ”

Wen Chengyan stood by the window, looking at the dark night sky, his eyes flashing with a sharp light that he was determined to achieve.

Yan Ran, I will definitely marry you, you can only be mine!
