Chapter 5: Cousin, Don't Run
"What's the fuss?"
Old Madam Yan was about to scold Yan Ran for provoking her good grandson to cry, when Old Madam Yan walked in with a majestic voice.
Master Yan only has such a son as Yan Qiyou, and he wants him to become a Chan and has very high requirements for him.
But Yan Qiyou was stupid, his studies were not good, and he was pampered by Mrs. Yan, crying at every turn, which made Mr. Yan very unhappy.
Yan Qiyou was very afraid of his father, so he immediately stopped his voice, stood obediently with low eyebrows, and did not dare to come out.
In front of her son, Mrs. Yan didn't dare to spoil her grandson too much, so she didn't say anything.
Master Yan saluted Mrs. Yan, sat down and asked, "I don't know what happened when my mother called her son over?" ”
A hint of schadenfreude flashed in Old Madam Yan's eyes: "Your daughter-in-law said that Ran'er has a man outside." Ran'er, is there such a thing? ”
Mrs. Yan was born in the countryside, spoke rudely, and would not beat around the bush. After she finished speaking, she waited to watch the play, and it was not a big deal to watch the excitement normally.
When Master Yan heard this, his face immediately sank, and he looked at Yan Ran unhappily.
Yan Ran explained unhurriedly: "Father, yesterday it was Mama Liu who sent Mama Liu to pick up her daughter to attend the birthday banquet of the eldest princess of Minyang, and the daughter would leave the house. ”
Wen immediately refuted: "What are you talking nonsense, when did I ask Mama Liu to pick you up to the birthday banquet?" ”
Yan Ran said: "Mama Liu was sent by her mother to take care of her daughter, and her daughter naturally believed what she said." ”
Anyway, now that there is no proof of death, the Wen family can put all the blame on Mama Liu, and Yan Ran can too.
Yan Ran pointed out that Mama Liu was Wen's person and took her into the army.
Wen could only quickly clear up the relationship first, and pretended to be surprised: "It's Mama Liu who has bad intentions, I really mistook her!" ”
Old Man Yan's face turned a little pale, and he asked again, "What's the matter with that man's clothes?" ”
Yan Ran said calmly: "I fell by the lake, and my dress was splashed with mud, so it is indecent to describe it indecently, and it is inappropriate, I happened to meet the eldest cousin of the Guogong Mansion, so I borrowed clothes from him to cover it." ”
"Big cousin?"
Wen was slightly stunned and didn't react for a while.
Yan Ran chuckled, but her eyes were full of coldness: "Mother doesn't remember Cousin Rong An?" What a noble person forgets things! ”
Wen Rong'an is Wen's deceased brother and original partner, and the eldest princess of Minyang is her stepmother.
Wen's family, like Master Yan, only looked at the heights, naturally he was holding on to the eldest princess of Minyang and Wen Chengyan, and had long forgotten Wen Rong'an, a little transparent who had no father or mother and was not treated by the eldest princess.
Wen listened to Yan Ran's sarcastic tone, and there was a faint anger in his heart.
Master Yan didn't care, just thinking that the two were cousins, and the matter didn't make a big fuss, so it didn't break the rules, so he said: "After this incident, you should also have a better memory, and don't believe people's words in the future." ”
Yan Ranfu said: "Father's teaching, daughter has written it down. ”
Wen saw that Yan Ran revealed the matter of the private meeting with the man in a few words, but he didn't expect that Yan Ran, who was like a plain bun, would have such sharp teeth, and he secretly hated it in his heart.
She made a look of grievance again, and said to Master Yan: "Master, there are not many people in Qionghua Courtyard, and now that there is another grandmother, I want to buy some more people for Qionghua Courtyard, but Ran'er doesn't want it." I don't know if Ran'er has a complaint against me because of Mama Liu's matter? ”
Wen said, tears were already in his eyelashes, and he wanted to cry.
Old Man Yan looked soft-hearted, but Yan Ran felt funny.
The mother was too worried, but the daughter didn't mean it. I don't have much work in my yard, just some daily sprinkling, and there are enough people to buy them. Moreover, after all, my father is an official in the DPRK and China, and as a member of his family, he should bow down to himself, and if he is too ostentatious, he may be criticized. ”
Yan Ran's voice was flat and did not carry any emotional color, but everything was said to Master Yan's heart, which made him feel extremely ironed.
He looked at Yan Ran approvingly, and his voice softened a lot: "Ran'er is right, the use of officials at all levels is regulated, and it cannot be overcome, otherwise I will be said to be an official, and I don't have to do it!" The number of people serving around Yao'er should also be halved, and when you go to a school, you have to follow a bunch of maids to serve, and those who don't know think you are the princess and the princess! ”
Yan Yao was inexplicably lying down, very aggrieved. Yan Ran doesn't want people to serve, what does it matter to her, why should she reduce her servants?
Yan Yao was about to refute, but was soothed by Wen's look.
Wen replied respectfully: "What the master said is true." ”
Back in Jinghua Courtyard, Yan Yao lost her temper: "Yan Ran, that slut! She was selling in front of her father, but she used me as a raft! ”
Wen also suffered a loss at the hands of Yan Ran, not only failed to rectify her, but also folded a Liu Mama, and also hated: "Yao'er, don't worry, my mother will not let go of that little slut!" ”
Before Wen could figure out how to rectify Yan Ran, Yan Ran took the initiative to send it to the door.
The next day, Yan Ran got up early in the morning and went to ask Wen for peace.
Before Wen could get up, Yan Ran waited in the cool breeze for nearly an hour.
When he entered the house, Yan Ran didn't say anything, but coughed first, and his coughing face changed color, as if he wanted to cough out his heart and liver.
Wen was troubled by Yan Ran's sick appearance early in the morning, and said with an angry face: "You are not well, you don't need to come to ask for peace." ”
Yan Ran said: "It is the filial piety of a daughter to greet her mother, and the etiquette cannot be abolished." ”
So, Yan Ran still appeared in front of Wen on the second day, dragging a weak and sick body that seemed to fall down at any time.
Wen gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "This little hoof is uneasy and kind!" She just vomited blood two days ago, and she ran to my door every day to blow the cold wind, if anything happened to her, I really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away! ”
Yan Yao was indignant: "I'll go tell my father!" ”
Wen Shi pressed Yan Yao's hand and told her not to be impulsive: "Yao'er, my mother said that there are ways to rectify a person. From tomorrow, let her go to the academy with you. ”
Yan Yao looked at Wen in puzzlement: "Mother, didn't you persuade your father to let her not go to the academy?" Why did you let her go again now? ”
Wen showed a calculating smile: "This time is different from the past, she is when she is weak, running between the halls every day, Master Xu is strict, and the schoolwork is heavy, even if she is tired, it is enough for her to be seriously ill!" ”
Yan Yao nodded thoughtfully.
Hearing the news that Wen asked Yan Ran to go to the academy, Qingxuan looked at Yan Ran with admiration: "Girl, it's really as you expected!" ”
Yan Ran smiled lightly, Wen's thoughts, if she couldn't guess it, wouldn't her previous life be in vain.
In fact, it doesn't matter what she went to the academy or anything, although she had never been to the academy to study in her previous life, she was also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting through self-study.
So, it's important that she can go out and see the people she wants to meet!
As soon as Wen Rongan went out, he sneezed, and there was always a faint sound in his ears about the crisp voice of a little girl calling her cousin, like auditory hallucinations.
"Cousin!"
Wen Rong'an was stunned, turned around slowly, and saw Yan Ran standing in the morning light swaying like flowers and bones.
It's not an illusion, that stupid girl really chased after her!
Wen Rongan turned around and ran.
Yan Ran was inexplicable, she didn't know why Wen Rong'an was running, so she chased after her: "Cousin, don't run!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Wen Rongan ran faster.
