Chapter 20: What is the purpose?
This time, without waiting for Yan Ran to say anything, Old Man Yan and Old Lady Yan already sneered in unison and looked at Kang Da with contempt.
Old Man Yan said angrily: "Zhang's big characters don't know a single one, how can he write to you?" Ignorant commoners, they dare to splash dirty water on the heads of this official! Someone, drag him down and send him to the official! ”
Seeing Master Yan's order, Wen hurriedly persuaded him: "Don't be angry, I have seen Zhang's practice of calligraphy." I asked to touch, but she didn't tell the master, she should have wanted to surprise the master! ”
"Yes! What Madame said is that Yueniang is literate, and that letter was really written to me by her! ”
Kang Da shouted anxiously and took out a letter from his arms, but Yan Ran snatched it away.
Wen was shocked, for fear that Yan Ran would destroy the letter, so he almost stopped it, but he still held back and secretly glanced at Ambassador Kang.
Kang Da hurriedly said in a loud voice: "My lord, Yueniang was greedy for wealth and wealth before, and lied that Ran'er was your child, and brought her to the door. But her life after coming to the capital was not satisfactory, so she repaired the book to me and wanted me to take her away......"
Old Madam Yan slapped the table angrily: "Since the Zhang family is greedy for wealth and has already found my son, how can life be unsatisfactory?" My son is a court official, and the Zhang family is a concubine, which is better than being with you. What are you, how dare you compare to my son? ”
In the days when Master Yan was away, in the end, the Zhang family had served Mrs. Yan for many years, and she still knew what the Zhang family was like.
Besides, even if Zhang's behavior is really disorderly, she is no longer alive, what can he do with her? If this matter is publicized, it will not be her son who will be disgraced.
Mrs. Yan's words were very reasonable, which made Mr. Yan's suspicion of Kangda skyrocket.
Wen quietly continued: "How can the word love be measured by wealth or not." ”
These words once again hooked up the sense of humiliation that Master Yan had suppressed, and his gaze at Yan Ran became very unkind.
Yan Ran had already read the contents of the letter in a hurry, she raised the letterhead in her hand, and looked at Kang Da with a smile: "This letter was really sent to you by my mother not long after she came to Anyang?" In that case, why didn't you come then, but only now? ”
Kang Da avoided Yan Ran's sharp gaze as if his heart was empty, and stammered: "This letter was indeed given to me by your mother, I didn't want you to live a hard life with me at that time, so I didn't come to pick you up." I also learned not long ago that your mother has been dead for many years, and I remember that she wanted to leave here before her death, and I am very ashamed, so I want her to return to her roots. ”
Yan Ran sneered: "What a coincidence, my father just wanted to set up my mother's spiritual position in the ancestral hall, and this is someone who wants her to return to her roots." ”
Old Man Yan's face sank, and he also felt that this matter was too coincidental.
Kang Da hurriedly said: "I ......"
Yan Ran interrupted Kang Da's defense: "Okay, if you have to say that this silk handkerchief and letter were given by someone who has a personal relationship with you, could it be that you have a personal relationship with me, Qingxuan and I when I was six years old?" ”
As soon as Yan Ran's words came out, everyone was puzzled.
Yan Ran looked at Wen's with a hint of ridicule in her eyes: "My mother didn't know a word until she died, and the handwriting on it was light." The calligraphy that my mother saw at that time was also used by Qingxuan to practice calligraphy, not my mother, but my mother misunderstood. If you don't believe it, you can verify it on the spot. ”
Master Yan hurriedly asked people to present pen and paper, and Qingxuan picked up the pen to write, and sure enough, the handwriting was exactly the same as the handwriting on the letter.
In the past, when Zhang was there, Yan Ran and Qingxuan still had the opportunity to touch the pen and paper.
After Zhang's death, even Yan Ran had no books to read, let alone Qingxuan was a maid, so her writing level was still at a young age.
Wen reacted extremely quickly and pretended to be surprised: "What? Could it be that Zhang's correspondence with others actually used Qingxuan to ghostwrite? ”
Yan Ran smiled coldly: "Why is my mother so eager to convict my mother? ”
Yan Ran directly pierced Wen's thoughts, making Old Man Yan and Old Madam Yan suspicious of her, and glared at her with cold eyes.
Wen's heart burst and he didn't dare to say more.
Yan Ran continued: "I just said that the handwriting on the letter is the same as that of Qingxuan, and it does not mean that the letter was written by her. Since my mother didn't know how to write and ink, and Qingxuan was young and ignorant at the time, how could she write such a brilliant letter? ”
Master Yan nodded in agreement.
He had only just read the letters, and some of the words in them were not comprehensible to those who had read poetry and books, and they were definitely not written by Zhang.
Yan Ran raised the silk handkerchief again and said to everyone: "Grandmother and father know that my mother doesn't know how to embroider at all, so she can only do some simple sewing." Therefore, this silk handkerchief is not from my mother's hand, but I embroidered it when I was a child, so the embroiderer looks very immature, but this word is not embroidered by me.
It can be seen from the newness of the embroidery thread that it is obvious that the character was added later. Although these two characters are very much imitated by the crappy embroidery of my childhood, the embroidery technique is smooth, and it should be the hand of an experienced person. Dad can ask the famous embroidery girl in the city to check, and you will know it at a check.
Also, the texture of this veil is just ordinary light yarn, but the words added after it are embroidered with colored gold and silver thread. The price of this embroidery thread is high, and it is not affordable for ordinary people. Moreover, this gold and silver embroidery thread is only recently found in Anyang City, and there is no other place at all.
This veil is not only a token of love, it should have existed before I was born, how could there be a pattern I embroidered on it, and an embroidery thread that would only appear after more than ten years in Anyang City, thousands of miles away? ”
Yan Ran said, suddenly looked at Kang Da with sharp eyes, and asked aggressively: "Say!" Who are you, why are you slandering my father's reputation, are you instigated, and what is your purpose?! ”
