There is a tribute institute under the Ministry of Rites, which is in charge of scientific research.

This time, Xiao Zun was fully responsible for Kaienke, and the Ministry of Rites was dispatched by him.

But the Ministry of Rites is the prince's lineage, and Xiao Zun is naturally not at ease, so there is a matter of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu falling off a horse and being injured and going home to recuperate.

But what was unexpected was that Xiao Zun actually recommended Master Yan.

Master Yan is a former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and there is no problem from the perspective of official affairs.

But the problem is that Master Yan is also the prince's lineage, Xiao Zun tried his best to pull down the prince's connections, but he sent the other prince's connections up, what is the point?

When Master Yan received the news, his mood was very complicated.

He has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he can climb to the position of a second-class member with a cloth background and at a young age, so he is naturally not a brainless.

He knew that Xiao Zun had other intentions in doing this, but he didn't understand what Xiao Zun's intentions were.

If he had the intention to win him over, then why did he use the Qin family to calculate him before?

If not to win him over, why promote him?

Old Man Yan thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out, so he actually found Wen Rongan, the prospective son-in-law, to discuss.

Yan Ran raised her eyebrows in surprise, and said that her father was not out of sight, and asked, "What does my cousin think?" ”

Wen Rong'an said: "Xiao Zun's move must not be good, Lord Yan had better not get involved, but ......"

Looking at Wen Rong'an's embarrassed appearance, Yan Ran sneered lightly and said clearly: "My father is unwilling to let go of this opportunity!" ”

Although the prince recovered, he looked at it as inferior to Xiao Zun's sacred heart, not only did he rush to accept the beauties just after the ban was lifted, but even the power to preside over the imperial examination in the past fell into Xiao Zun's hands.

Seeing this, the ministers were undecided.

Master Yan naturally moved when he heard the wind, and he had the intention of taking refuge in Xiao Zun.

Now that Xiao Zun has thrown an olive branch, although he knows that half of it may be a trap, he still wants to give it a try.

In case it was Xiao Zun who sat in that position a day later, he showed his loyalty early, and he would not be liquidated.

Yan Ran said: "I know Xiao Zun's purpose, he can't move me now, so he changed the target to the Yan family, and the Qin family smeared my father's reputation before, and now it is." As long as the Yan family declines and I have no support behind me, I will naturally be implicated. ”

Yan Ran smiled coldly, but unfortunately Xiao Zun miscalculated, everything she has now is earned by her own ability, and she has never regarded the Yan family as a backer.

In the end, Master Yan decided to concurrently serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, after all, this matter was brought up by Xiao Zun, and he didn't want to offend Xiao Zun.

Yan Ran didn't dissuade him much, even if he persuaded him this time, he didn't try to be unwilling, there will be a next time, and the road will always have to come out by himself.

While the DPRK and China were busy preparing for the imperial examination, the Imperial Medical Department also began its annual enrollment process.

Due to the rebellion of King Yongning, the Taiyi Department delayed the enrollment of last year, and there was a shortage of manpower, so he thought about making up the number of people as soon as possible.

The Queen Mother's condition has stabilized, it will not get better, and there is no sign of deterioration.

The frequency of Yan Ran's acupuncture was changed from once a day to once every seven days, and the medical woman massaged her to dredge the meridians, supplemented by medication.

Therefore, Yan Ran, who had a free time, was unceremoniously arrested by the envoy of the Imperial Medical Department, not only to be the examiner of admissions, but also to teach in the future.

After all, Yan Ran, as one of the few imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Department, has great ability and responsibility.

In order to facilitate her work at the Imperial Medical Department, Yan Ran temporarily returned to Yan's Mansion to live.

When Master Yan learned the news, he hurriedly asked Huaxiu to clean up the Qionghua Courtyard, and then added all the daily necessities and servants to the house.

The action of painting and embroidery is very fast, but this toss costs a lot of silver.

Although Master Yan took the money happily, he felt more and more that he couldn't take care of the house, and the Yan Mansion should still have a housewife who could take charge of things, so he also began to think about the continuation of Mrs. Yan's nagging in his ear every day.

Yan Ran returned to Yan's Mansion and saw that Qionghua Courtyard was completely new, and Huan'er, Chun'er and others who had served her in the past were also there, so she knew that Master Yan still had a little snack, and didn't say anything.

It's just that when she left the Yan Mansion, she only took away the cash silver and left a lot of valuable jewelry and ornaments on the grounds of praying for blessings in the Qing Dynasty.

But now, those things are gone, replaced by cheap items.

Yan Ran didn't get angry, but Qingxuan invited the painting over.

Although the painting and embroidery is an aunt and is accustomed to being majestic in front of the subordinates, she is still very respectful in front of Yan Ran, a serious master.

Yan Ran said: "Draw your aunt, sit." ”

The painting embroidery's whole body tensed, and he said with a smile on his face: "Slave maid...... The concubine is standing. ”

Yan Ran didn't get entangled, and said straight to the point: "Aunt Painting, when I left Yan's Mansion, I didn't expect to suffer such a catastrophe, because I didn't take anything from this courtyard. You think I'm dead, and it's human nature to confiscate these things. But now that I'm back, I'm asking my aunt to return all those things, which are my dowry. ”

Yan Ran's tone was extremely flat, but the painting and embroidery were all over.

She didn't want to get involved in this matter, but thinking of the methods of Yan Ran she had seen, she hurriedly replied: "The things of the eldest girl, how dare the concubine be greedy for ink, they are all ...... It was all taken by the second girl! ”

Yan Ran raised her eyes and glanced at her suspiciously: "Oh, really? ”

Huaxiu nodded again and again, and her expression couldn't be more sincere: "Really, really!" If the eldest girl doesn't believe it, go and ask the old lady to make it! ”

This made Yan Ran unexpected, after all, there was an old lady Yan in the Yan Mansion who was open-minded, but how could Yan Yao take the lead?

Old Madam Yan did covet Yan Ran's property, but she was a step late, and when she remembered this, the things in Qionghua Courtyard were all emptied by Yan Yao.

Because it was Yan Yao who bought the murder, when everyone in the Yan Mansion was still unsure whether Yan Ran was alive or dead, she was already sure that Yan Ran was killed, so she naturally looted all her things unscrupulously.

After sending away the painting and embroidery, Qingxuan couldn't help but say: "These two girls are worthy of being born by the Wen family, they are really carved out of a mold!" She is a married girl, even if she pulls her mother's family, she also hides her eldest sister's private room, which is really shameless! ”

Yan Ran listened to Qingxuan's scolding, and said with a smile: "Qingxuan, Xianluo, the two of you will check to see what things are missing, and make a list and send it to the Dingguo Mansion." ”

Qingxuan is waiting for Yan Ran's words, and the next thing is enough, but the girl's silver must not be snatched away by others!

Yan Ran didn't want to save Yan Yao's face, so the letter asking for something was sent directly to Minyang.

When Minyang learned about this, his face turned green with anger.

She scolded hatefully: "Yan Yao, that idiot, this palace should have been firmer at the beginning, and let Yan'er divorce her!" ”

When Yan Ran had an accident just now, Wen Chengyan decided that Yan Yao had harmed her, and not only ruthlessly aborted Yan Yao, but also grounded her for a long time.

But after a long time, I don't know if Wen Chengyan's anger has disappeared, or if Yan Yao has used some means, Wen Chengyan not only released her, but also lived a good life with her.

Min Yang couldn't do it, but he couldn't resist Wen Chengyan, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law live separately on weekdays, rarely interact, and live under one roof like strangers.

Minyang also thought that it would be like this, Yan Yao was injured and it was difficult to get pregnant, and in a few years, Wen Chengyan would be given a few concubines, and the incense of the Dingguo Mansion would not be broken.

But I didn't expect Yan Yao to make such a big disaster again, if it was known that the dignified Duchess of Dingguo had hidden the property of the eldest sister who had not left the cabinet, where would the face of the Dingguo Mansion go? !

Yan Yao was summoned by Minyang, and although she showed joy on her face, she was very disdainful in her heart.

Isn't it because she sends some expensive jewelry to Minyang from time to time that Minyang sees her in his eyes?

Yan Yao thought that Minyang was looking for her to take her to a banquet or something, but she didn't expect that she was held down by two mothers-in-law as soon as she entered the door.

Before she could react, she heard Minyang's resentful voice: "Laneige, teach this shameless stupid woman a good lesson to this palace!" ”

Laneige was not ambiguous, and directly stepped forward and slapped Yan Yao twice.

Yan Yao was stunned, and suddenly felt a buzz in her ears, and then looked at Lanzhi viciously: "You cheap girl actually beat me?" I'll kill you! ”

Yan Yao said, and I don't know where the strength came from, she broke free from the clamps of the two mothers-in-law, and scratched Laneige's face with her long pointed nails.

Lanzhi screamed, and without Minyang's command, he grabbed Yan Yao's hair and fought back.

Several people made a mess and made a lot of trouble.

As soon as Wen Chengyan returned home, he was urgently invited over.

When Yan Yao saw Wen Chengyan, she suddenly felt that she had a backbone, and she cried and pounced: "Husband, they beat me!" ”

Wen Chengyan looked at the redness and swelling on Yan Yao's cheeks and messy hair, he had a headache, and looked at Minyang helplessly: "Mother, what are you doing?" ”

Minyang threw Yan Ran's letter to Wen Chengyan, and said angrily: "Look for yourself!" ”

Wen Chengyan unfolded the letterhead and was suddenly stunned, he recognized it as Yan Ran's handwriting.

He didn't care about the incredulous content, and gently stroked each word with his hand, immersed in a sad mood.

Suddenly, Minyang said angrily: "Why did the Dingguo Mansion marry such a shallow eyelid, it's really unfortunate for the family!" ”

Not to be outdone, Yan Yao replied: "What does my mother mean by saying this now, isn't she very happy to accept those things I gave you at the beginning?" ”

Where did Minyang think that the valuables that Yan Yao gave her were all hidden from Yan Ran, and she was immediately ashamed and secretly resentful: "Lanzhi, find out all the things and send them back to the Yan Mansion!" ”

"It's time to go back."

Wen Chengyan folded the letter again and put it in his arms, his eyes were clear and cold.

Yan Yao's chest was suffocated, and she was immediately silent, thinking of Wen Chengyan's appearance of putting away the precious letter, and a dark light crossed her eyes.
