Chapter 18 Not necessarily
After the moon worship and blessing were over, Yan Ran and Zhen Yu walked out of the school hall together, but they didn't expect Yan Yao to be waiting for her at the door.
Yan Ran raised her eyebrows slightly, it was really strange, since she entered school for half a month, this was the first time that Yan Yao took the initiative to wait for her to ride home together.
Yan Yao was in a good mood tonight, although she was defeated by Cui Jingshi at the ceremony, she also received a lot of praise, which is not a pity.
Especially Yan Ran's mediocre performance gave Yan Yao a sense of superiority, not so much waiting for her to go home together, but wanting to show off to her.
However, Yan Yao's good mood did not last long.
When the two returned to Yan's mansion, they heard a report from someone that Master Yan and the Wen family had quarreled, which was very fierce.
Yan Ran couldn't help but feel strange, the Wen family has always shown a gentle and virtuous face, what happened to make her tear off her disguise and quarrel with Master Yan?
Yan Yao glared at Yan Ran angrily: "It must be because of you!" ”
Yan Ran is very innocent, and if she wants to add to the crime, there is no excuse!
Yan Ran returned to Qionghua Courtyard and asked Qingxuan to find out why the Wen family quarreled with Master Yan, but she didn't expect Yan Yao to really say that this matter was indeed related to her.
The reason was that Master Yan had a banquet with his colleagues tonight, and someone at the banquet deliberately mentioned the widely circulated "eldest daughter was born by a concubine" because of his political disagreement with him, which embarrassed him.
Of course, Master Yan couldn't slap himself in the face, so he explained that the matter was misinformation, but in fact, his eldest daughter was born by the original match, and the second daughter was born by the continuation of the string, which blocked the mouths of Youyou.
These words have already been said, and they can't let people stop their sore feet, and after Master Yan came back, he decided to enshrine Yan Ran's spiritual position in the ancestral hall as the original wife.
Wen naturally disagreed, since she was able to trample Yan Ran's mother under her feet during her lifetime, why was she crushed after death, so she quarreled with Master Yan.
When Yan Ran heard the cause and effect, there was a sneer in her eyes, and she was quite disdainful: "Heh, my mother may not be willing to enter the ancestral hall of the Yan family!" ”
The Yan family was originally born in the countryside and was the same township as Yan Ran's mother-in-law, Zhang.
Zhang's family is beautiful, hardworking and capable, but because of raising his younger brother to adulthood and delaying the marriageable age, he married into the Yan family, which is surrounded by four walls.
After the Zhang family married into the Yan family, he devoted himself to serving her husband, supporting her in-laws, and supporting the family's livelihood alone for Master Yan's education.
Later, Master Yan went to the capital to take the exam, and in one fell swoop, he was arrested by Wen's brother Dingguo Gongbang.
Master Yan was greedy for fame and fortune, and in order to climb high branches, he lied that he was unmarried and married Wen.
After three years and three years, Zhang saw that Master Yan had not returned home for a long time, so he took the young Yan Ran and his in-laws to look for him, only to learn that he had already set up another family.
Yan Ran's grandfather vomited blood on the spot and died soon after.
The Zhang family knew that they were isolated and helpless, and it was difficult to seek justice, and it was not beneficial for both parties to tear their faces, so they agreed to Master Yan's request to demote his wife to a concubine, but the premise was that Yan Ran's identity as the eldest daughter of the Yan family could not be changed.
Zhang chose to forbear for the sake of his daughter, but he was still regarded as a great shame by Wen.
It didn't take long for Wen to kill the killer, and Zhang's Xiang Xiaoyu died.
It stands to reason that both the Wen family and the Zhang family were deceived by Master Yan, and the object of hatred should be Master Yan.
But Wen didn't dare to resent her husband who wanted to be attached to life, so she transferred her resentment to Zhang, which was really despicable.
Every time Yan Ran thought about this, she hated it.
Although the Zhang family may not be willing to enter the Yan family ancestral hall, it is also a consolation for her to let the Wen family serve and worship her spiritual position.
Over there, Yan Yao hurriedly went to visit the Wen family, but did not see Master Yan, who had already gone to the study in the front yard to rest in a fit of anger.
Wen was weeping in the room, and Yan Yao stepped forward and said, "Mother, you and your father have always been in love, why did you quarrel?" ”
Wen Shi swollen his eyes, hugged Yan Yao into his arms, and cried aggrievedly: "Your father actually wants to offer Zhang's spiritual seat to the ancestral hall, where does he put me?" ”
The continuation and the original partner are both wives, and there is no difference in etiquette, but it doesn't sound good to say after all.
Wen complained: "If your uncle is still alive, how dare he do this to me? ”
Yan Yao said: "Mother, although my uncle has passed away, we can still find my aunt to administer justice!" ”
The aunt in Yan Yao's mouth refers to the eldest princess of Minyang, and Wen sighed lightly: "Although your aunt is the eldest princess, how can she meddle in the family affairs of the courtiers. ”
Wen knew very well what kind of calculation Master Yan was making, on the one hand, he wanted to explain this matter to save face, and on the other hand, he also showed favor to Yan Ran.
After all, Yan Ran is now the benefactor of the Qingguo Mansion, and with her as a bridge, Master Yan can catch up with the Qingguo Duke and even the queen, which will be of great help to Yu Shitu.
Although the eldest princess of Minyang and her son Wen Chengyan are in favor of Longen, one is a married daughter outside the royal family, and the other is young and has a knighthood, and has not yet received an official position.
Compared with the two, how can there be Qingguo Gong and the queen mother, one is the old minister of the humerus, and the other is the lord of the middle palace, which is more powerful?
Yan Yao hurriedly shook Wen's arm and said, "Mother, all this is Yan Ran's slut's trick, can't you let her succeed!" ”
Wen calmed down, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes: "Yao'er is right, it's for you and You'er, and my mother won't sit still!" ”
