Chapter 125: A Sense of Foreboding
Old Madam Yan was very angry, and the consequence was that the Wen family suffered.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Yan sent someone to inform all the courtyards, so that everyone could go to Hongfu Courtyard for breakfast in the morning.
Because it was early in the morning on this day, Master Yan needed to go out early, so the time for breakfast was also advanced.
Yan Ran struggled to get up from the quilt, closed her eyes and combed her makeup.
When she yawned and came to Hongfuyuan, she found that everyone had arrived.
Mrs. Yan and Mr. Yan were drinking tea, Yan Yao was sitting under Mr. Yan, Yan Qiyou was sitting beside Mrs. Yan, and Wen was standing behind Mrs. Yan, serving her tea and water.
Seeing this scene, Yan Ran couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The Wen family prides itself on being an aristocrat, and has never looked down on Mrs. Yan's background, except for the newlywed tea, she is afraid that she has never served her a cup of tea, right?
What's going on today, the sun is coming out in the west?
Without waiting for Yan Ran to figure out the situation in front of her, Old Madam Yan saw Yan Ran coming, and asked with a kind face: "Getting up so early, Ran'er is afraid that she didn't sleep, right?" ”
Mrs. Yan's kind attitude also made it difficult for Yan Ran to accept, which she had never been treated before.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it seems that the saying that money can make ghosts grind is really an eternal truth.
Yan Ran replied: "My granddaughter is indeed a little difficult, not as energetic as my grandmother, it's really embarrassing. ”
Yan Ran praised Mrs. Yan's strong body, which made her very happy, and the smile on her face deepened.
She dragged Yan Ran to her side, stroked her hand and said lovingly: "You little people have a lot of self-sleep, I'm old, and I don't have so much sleep to sleep." ”
As she spoke, she turned to Grandma Sun and instructed, "Everyone has arrived, let's pass the food!" ”
After the meal, Master Yan and Mrs. Wen helped Mrs. Yan to sit together, and Yan Ran and others then took their seats.
Mrs. Yan took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, but handed them to Wen and ordered, "Wen, you give me cloth vegetables." ”
Wen's face froze, and he didn't answer immediately, but looked at Master Yan.
Old Madam Yan seemed to have expected Wen's reaction a long time ago, and before Old Man Yan could speak, she said angrily: "Why, do you think that I, an old woman from the countryside, are not qualified to be the mother-in-law of you, the eldest lady, and are not worthy of being served by you?" ”
Wen's face became even more ugly, and Master Yan didn't make a sound when he heard this.
Wen waited for a while, and saw that Master Yan didn't mean to help her speak, so she gave up, took the chopsticks handed over by Mrs. Yan, and reluctantly stood up to serve her for dinner.
Only then did Yan Ran understand why Mrs. Yan called everyone to eat together, it turned out that it was to set rules for the Wen family in public and lose her face.
In the early years, because the Wen family was married and had a strong relationship with Master Yan, Mrs. Yan was instilled by Master Yan to be good to the Wen family and not to treat her harshly.
Therefore, since Wen married Master Yan, he has never done such a thing as serving his mother-in-law's meal, and this is the first time.
Wen originally thought that Mrs. Yan asked her to do the work of serving tea and water, which was enough to humiliate her, but she didn't expect that there would be even worse, asking her to make vegetables!
It was the first time for Wen to serve people's meals, and she was not skilled, and she didn't know the taste of Old Madam Yan, so she was reprimanded a lot, or in front of so many subordinates and several children, she was embarrassed and indignant.
While stepping on Wen's kick, Mrs. Yan did not forget to praise Gao Yanran's mother-in-law Zhang: "Zhang's has never let me eat a meal so uncomfortable, it has always been hot and cold, salty and delicious, and she has already delivered the dish to my mouth before I said what I want to eat!" Pity her for her hard life, she only came to Anyang to live a good life, but in less than a year, she went to ...... at a young age"
When Mrs. Yan mentioned the Zhang family at this time, it was obvious that she was talking to Yan Ran.
But Yan Ran didn't feel moved at all, only hypocrisy.
Of course, her mother's mother is good and worthy of anyone.
But if Mrs. Yan is really a conscientious person, thinking of Zhang's goodness, when Master Yan demotes his wife to a concubine, she should at least say a word for Zhang's.
After Zhang's death, she should at least take care of Yan Ran in Zhang's face, instead of leaving her to fend for herself.
Since Mrs. Yan has chosen to be silent and indifferent, who is she going to show if she is saying this now?
Therefore, Yan Ran pretended not to hear anything and did not make any response.
Mrs. Yan thought that Yan Ran would talk, but unfortunately she didn't, she was bored with herself, so she changed the topic.
The family sits at the same table, but has different thoughts.
Only the innocent Yan Qiyou kept staring at the custard in front of Yan Yao, and finally couldn't help asking: "Grandmother, the second sister doesn't like egg custard, and she didn't eat a bite, can you give it to her grandson?" ”
Mrs. Yan followed the sound and looked over, only to find that Yan Yao did not move the chopsticks, not just the egg custard, she didn't eat anything.
Old Madam Yan sneered, and said sarcastically in a weird manner: "It seems that the dishes of Hongfu Courtyard can't get into the eyes of Second Miss Yan!" ”
Yan Yao hurriedly explained: "Grandmother, it's not like this, Yao'er just thinks that her mother hasn't entered the table yet, as a child, how can she eat first?" ”
Wen listened to Yan Yao's words, and his heart warmed.
Yan Ran's relationship with her is like fire and water, so naturally she won't speak for her; Yan Qiyou also only cares about himself and doesn't care about her at all; Only Yan Yao thinks about her, and she is worthy of being a good daughter raised by her!
Old Madam Yan sneered and said, "Look, they all say that their daughter is their mother's little padded jacket, which is really good!" Since the second girl doesn't eat, let's remove her eating table! ”
Yan Yao thought that her approach would be praised by Master Yan, but she didn't expect to be just returned by Mrs. Yan, and Master Yan didn't help her speak.
Old Man Yan knew very well that Old Madam Yan was angry with the Wen family about yesterday's incident, and when she made a fuss, the matter passed.
But Yan Yao didn't know how to avoid its edge, and even had some intention of doing it, deliberately looking for Mrs. Yan's unhappiness.
Although her move is filial to the Wen family, it is unfilial piety to Mrs. Yan, and she is really too ignorant.
Master Yan hurried to the early dynasty, hurriedly used a small bowl of swallow rice porridge, and left.
Old Madam Yan hasn't tossed enough Wen yet, but she has eaten this meal for a long time.
After Wen returned to the room, he only felt that his legs were weak and his feet hurt, his arms were sore, and he didn't want to move when he was lying on the bed.
She has always been used to being served, her ten fingers do not touch the spring water, she goes out of the house to take a sedan chair, and she goes out to take a car, how can she stand for so long, naturally she can't stand it.
Yan Yao was hungry at this time because she was evacuated by Mrs. Yan, and she got up early in the morning but didn't eat a drop of water, and said angrily: "Mother, that old pious woman must have been blinded by the silver, so she is looking at Yan Ran like this!" ”
Wen was so frightened that he sat up from the bed and covered Yan Yao's mouth: "Be quiet, if your father hears it, there will be no good fruit for you to eat!" ”
Yan Yao pursed her lips unhappily, and said, "Mother, I didn't expect Yan Ran to donate all the money, it's really unclear!" But we didn't get the money, so what about my grandmother's birthday party? ”
Wen sighed slightly, if she wasn't in a hurry to make money, she wouldn't have used all the money in her hand, even the expenses in the house, to put the money in Yinzi, so that she was stretched thin now.
Wen can't care about how to calculate Yan Ran at this time, and raising money is the top priority.
She said: "It's okay, my mother still has some jewelry, you can take it to the emergency first." After a few days, the money will be recovered along with the interest, and then redeemed again. ”
Yan Yao asked again: "Mother, Yan Ran's slut has turned danger into disaster again and again, and her daughter really can't swallow this breath, should we just let her go?" ”
Wen said angrily: "Don't worry, my mother has her own way to deal with her." You don't want to do it again, you can't hurt her like last time, but you almost implicate yourself! ”
Yan Yao asked curiously, "Mother, how do you plan to deal with her?" ”
Wen Shi showed a grim smile: "This time, I will make her ruined and ruined, and she will never recover!" ”
Old Madam Yan's methods of rectifying the Wen family made Yan Ran feel very relieved.
So, as Mrs. Yan wished, Yan Ran gave her the white jade Guanyin as a birthday gift.
Mrs. Yan is used to watching people put down dishes, and she has the benefits of Yan Ran, and she is even more unapologetic to the Wen family.
On the day of the birthday banquet held by the Yan Mansion for Mrs. Yan, there were many officials and family members who came to congratulate and give gifts.
Mrs. Yan received the gift softly, and she couldn't close her mouth happily all day long, and she rarely showed a good face to Wen.
The banquet for male and female guests was separated, with the male guests entertained by Master Yan and Yan Qiyou, and the female guests were entertained by Wen with Yan Ran and Yan Yao.
Yan Yao didn't care about anything at all, she only played with her friends in full swing, and became a shopkeeper.
There are too many wives to greet Wen, and one person can't be busy, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions, which may cause dissatisfaction.
After Yan Ran got married in her previous life, she also hosted many banquets, large and small, and was very experienced.
Although she didn't want to help the Wen family, this was the matter of the Yan Mansion in the end, and she didn't want to affect her reputation because of the Wen family's fault, so she and the Wen family worked together.
Zhen Yu congratulated her parents together.
As soon as she entered the door, she yelled at Yan Ran: "Sister Yan, I just drank too much water on the road, I want to go to the toilet!" ”
Yan Ran hurriedly said, "I'll accompany you over." ”
Zhen Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I often come to Yanfu to play with you, and I am familiar with the road here." Don't worry, I won't get lost, you go and greet the other guests! ”
Yan Ran thought about it and felt that what Zhen Xuan said was reasonable, so she only let Qingxuan take her over.
But until the guests were almost here, and the banquet was about to start, Zhen Yu still did not return.
Yan Ran was a little worried, so she took Xian Luo to look for it together.
Yan Ran went to the clean room, but did not find Zhen Zhen, and couldn't help but be even more worried.
Xian Luo walked around the neighborhood and quickly said to Yan Ran: "Girl, the slave maid just met the maid who served the food, and asked her if she had seen Miss Zhen." She said that the second girl also came to the clean room, accidentally knocked over the basin and wet Miss Zhen's dress, so she took her to the nearby wing room to change clothes. ”
Yan Yao?
Yan Ran's brows tightened.
She was busy greeting the guests and didn't pay attention to Yan Yao's whereabouts.
However, as soon as she heard that Zhen Yu had been taken away by Yan Yao, a sense of foreboding faintly rose in her heart.
