Chapter 168: No Retreat

Approaching the 60th birthday of the Queen Mother, Emperor Sheng showed his filial piety, granted amnesty to the world, and the whole country celebrated.

At that time, hundreds of officials need to bring their families to attend the birthday banquet, and the king of Yongning, the king of Guangling, and the princess of Roujia, who are far away in the fiefdom, can also take this opportunity to enter Beijing to congratulate.

The palace was busy preparing for this grand birthday feast.

Seeing that there were less than five days before the palace banquet, the Wen family sent someone to Yan Ran to send a skirt hairpin to the banquet.

Qingxuan complained: "I only sent the skirt hairpin at this time, if there is anything inappropriate, it is too late to change it, Wen Shijing will do these unpleasant things to find people secretly!" ”

Yan Ran smiled and said, "She just wants to prepare the skirt hairpin earlier, and she has to have silver!" ”

Qingxuan did misunderstand Wen.

Yan Ran is no longer the soft bun that was bullied in the past, how dare the Wen family treat her so blatantly.

In order to participate in the palace banquet, the Wen family had to prepare a handy outfit for Yan Ran, and he couldn't lose the face of the Yan Mansion.

But she was cheated twice by Yan Ran before, and she has not yet recovered, and her hands are tight.

This time, the money for Yan Ran to make clothes was saved between her teeth by saving money, not to mention how much fire there was.

Yan Ran was trying on clothes, and Huan'er came in and said, "Girl, the master asked you to come over." ”

Yan Ran asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Huan'er replied: "The master didn't say it, but Han Xiang just came." ”

Yan Ran felt a little strange, Han Xiang was the new peak of Master Yan, it was supposed to be Master Yan who went to visit him, why did he come to Yan's Mansion with dignity?

Yan Ran thought about it, recently, in order to prepare for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, all officials have been very busy, and Master Yan often goes out early and returns late.

wanted to come to Han Xiang to find Master Yan, it should be for official business, Yan Ran didn't care.

Yan Ran came to the study and saw that Master Yan was holding a book in his hand, but his eyes were fixed, obviously in a daze.

Yan Ran asked out loud, "Dad, are you looking for me?" ”

Master Yan came back to his senses, looked at Yan Ran, and asked her a few words about her recent life.

Yan Ran was answering seriously one by one, and suddenly heard Master Yan's words turn around, and asked, "Ran'er, what do you think of the eldest prince of the Dingguo Mansion?" ”

Yan Ran was slightly surprised, but she didn't have time to think clearly why Master Yan suddenly asked Wen Rong'an, so she hurriedly settled down and replied calmly: "Dad, the eldest cousin of the Wen family once lent his daughter clothes to save her from being rude in front of others, and her daughter has always been grateful for it. He has been among the best in the examination school of the school hall several times in a row, and he has come to prominence, and he is not under Grandpa Wen when he wants to come to school. As for the rest, the daughter is not very clear. It's just that my daughter thinks ......"

Yan Ran paused slightly, and her tone was hesitant.

Master Yan asked, "What do you think, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Yan Ran sighed slightly as if she was a little regretful: "The eldest princess of Minyang doesn't want to see him very much, and the Dingguo Mansion is in the hands of the little grandfather, I'm afraid that he will not have a bright future." ”

Yan Ran's evaluation is very pertinent.

Wen Rongan once lent her clothes, and she became famous, both of which are facts that she can't avoid.

If she doesn't know anything directly, she seems to want to cover it up.

But in order to avoid suspicion, she only said these two things.

In the end, she appropriately expressed her regret for his situation, which was reasonable.

Master Yan didn't notice anything wrong, and only nodded thoughtfully.

Yan Ran asked tentatively, "Dad, why did you suddenly ask about him?" ”

Master Yan said lightly: "Oh, it's nothing, Han Xiang wants to recommend officials for him and ask me if there is a suitable position in the court." I didn't expect that he would have the ability to be favored by Han Xiang. I thought that you should have an idea of his talents and conduct at the Chongwen Museum, so I asked you about it. ”

Yan Ran nodded and didn't say anything more.

She also thought that Wen Rong'an had come to the door to propose, so Master Yan tested her attitude, but it turned out to be to seek an official position.

Although most of her usual marriage urgings are jokes, she still can't help but feel a little lost in her heart.

Back in Qionghua Courtyard, Qingxuan saw Yan Ran sullen and explained: "Girl, are you unhappy because Wen Gongzi is seeking an official instead of a marriage?" The slave maid felt that Wen Gongzi had a reason to do this. He wants to seek an official position first, and then propose to you, so that the possibility of the lord agreeing will be greater! ”

Seeing that Yan Ran didn't react, Qingxuan joked again: "However, Han Xiang came to ask the master's opinion, could it be that Wen Gongzi wanted to find another way, enter the household department in the name of seeking officials, and get the moon first near the water to please the master?" ”

Yan Ran was suddenly stunned, as if she had figured out something.

Han Xiang wants to recommend the official for Wen Rong'an, why do you want to ask Master Yan, he is in charge of the household department and not the official department, is it possible......

Yan Ran suddenly looked happy and laughed.

Qingxuan was inexplicably laughed by her: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yan Ran grabbed Qingxuan's hand and whispered to her with a mysterious face: "Qingxuan, Han Xiang is here to help his cousin propose." ”

Qingxuan was confused: "Huh? ”

Yan Ran analyzed: "If it's just a recommendation, my father doesn't need to be so entangled. Han Xiang is his superior, what Han Xiang says, what he does, why do you want to probe your cousin's character? It is precisely because Han Xiang is here to help my cousin talk to the matchmaker that my father is hindered by his affection and authority, so it is difficult to refuse directly, but he is hesitant to accept it, so he will test my thoughts and not tell me the truth on the grounds of recommending the official. ”

Qing Xuan also felt refreshed, but she was still uncertain: "However, Wen Gongzi didn't mention this matter to you before. ”

Yan Ran's face flushed slightly, revealing a shy smile: "Perhaps, he wants to surprise me after the matter is completed!" ”

Qingxuan was also happy that Yan Ran's wish had come true, and at the same time she was a little worried: "I just don't know what the master is planning." ”

Yan Ran's joy was diluted, and her reason returned.

If Wen Rongan came to the door in person, Master Yan would definitely refuse him without hesitation.

But now that Han Xiang is the matchmaker, Master Yan's attitude is much more ambiguous.

Yan Ran said confidently: "My father is hesitating, which means that his thoughts have been loosened, and things are still turning around." I have to think of a way to completely change his mind. ”

In fact, Yan Ran believes that her marriage with Wen Rongan has not yet arrived.

And she didn't know what the relationship between Wen Rongan and Han Xiang was, and how she could invite him to come forward.

But Wen Rongan was already doing all her best to her, and Yan Ran would not back down.

Yan Ran is actively planning how to secretly cooperate with Wen Rong Anli and finalize the marriage of the two.

Prince Rui's Mansion suddenly sent someone to invite her, and said that Su Fan's condition had changed.

Although Yan Ran's face did not change, she actually went to Prince Rui's mansion with a worried heart.

If she can't heal Su Fan completely, I'm afraid that Prince Rui won't let her go easily.

Yan Ran came to Prince Rui's mansion, but unexpectedly saw Su Yu.

When Prince Rui saw Yan Ran, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and he trusted her very much: "Miss Yan, Fan'er suddenly had convulsions and convulsions, and Su Yu couldn't find out the cause, so the king had to invite Miss Yan over." ”

When Yan Ran heard this, she was busy treating Su Fan, but she didn't find anything wrong.

Su Pan recovered from a serious illness, and his body had not fully recovered, and he was most frail at this time, so he was infected with wind and cold.

However, convulsions and convulsions do not occur with wind and cold!

Yan Ran instructed his subordinates: "Bring the little prince's prescription for curing wind and cold." ”

Yan Ran was afraid that there would be another situation of drug restraint, but after a closer look, she still didn't find any problems.

She thought for a while, and then asked, "I want to know the little prince's daily diet records, the more detailed the better." ”

The subordinate recalled it carefully, and recounted Su Fan's daily activities in detail.

“…… At night, the little prince had a fever, and after taking the decoction to relieve the heat, he used a bowl of ginger soup......"

"Wait a minute!"

Yan Ran frowned and said, "After the little prince had a high fever, he drank ginger soup again?" ”

The subordinate nodded and said, "Yes, the little prince was dizzy and nauseated, so he asked for a bowl of ginger soup." The ginger soup is warm and stops vomiting, and the little prince often drinks it on weekdays. ”

Yan Ran suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but shook her head and said, "Ginger soup is indeed a good medicine for treating wind and cold. But the little prince has a fever and sweating, which is yin deficiency and internal heat. At this time, taking ginger soup not only does not work, but will also make the condition serious, and even have symptoms of convulsions. ”

The subordinate's face immediately changed greatly, and he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Lord Wang, the little fool failed to take care of the little prince, beg the prince to spare his life!" ”

Yan Ran pleaded for him: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, the little prince's body is fine. Although I drank the wrong ginger soup and had convulsive symptoms by chance, there was no substantial harm to the body. ”

When Prince Rui learned that this was a false alarm, he breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him sincerely: "Miss Yan, thanks to you this time, this king owes you a favor again." ”

Yan Ran smiled and didn't say much, only glanced at Su Yu with a slight puzzlement.

Yan Ran finished treating Su Pan and said goodbye and left.

Su Yu caught up with her and stopped her: "Miss Yan, please stay!" ”

Yan Ran paused, turned to look at Su Yu, and his eyes were slightly cold: "What advice does Master Su have?" ”

Su Yu arched his hand and smiled: "I don't dare to give advice, but I heard that Miss Yan's medical skills are wonderful." When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name, and I admired it very much. ”

Yan Ran sneered lightly, her eyes became even colder, and directly pierced Su Yu's plan: "A bowl of ginger soup, you Su Xiao Divine Doctor can't see it?" Su Yu, let's be straightforward, what is the purpose of you setting up this plan to lure me here? ”

Su Yu was slightly stunned, and then smiled calmly: "Miss Yan is really exquisite, and she can see through me at a glance." ”

Although Yan Ran understood that this was Su Yu's means, she had no intention of having anything to do with him, and seeing that he refused to speak out, she simply turned around and left, not caring what he wanted to do.

But I heard Su Yu say in a low voice: "Miss Yan, His Royal Highness the Second Prince will ask the Holy Lord to marry you as a side concubine at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet." ”
