Chapter 268: Tasting the Consequences

Wen Chengyan suddenly remembered that a long time ago, when they were still studying in the Chongwen Museum, he and the county lord of Min'an were locked together, and it was Yan Ran who relieved them.

But at that time, he questioned Yan Ran like this, with such cold eyes and such a mocking tone.

Wen Chengyan suddenly felt a tingling pain in his heart, life really has cause and effect.

Wen Chengyan was still thinking about it, and Yan Ran had already begun to fight back: "Madame can't see the maidservants around me, I can't see these tall guards, and I can't see the doors and windows of this room wide open." Madame's eyes can only see me and Dingguo Gong, I really don't know whether to say that Madame cares about me, or does she care about Dingguo Gong? ”

The woman's face turned pale: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Yan Ran sneered: "Madame thinks I'm talking nonsense, then Madame deliberately ignored so many people present, and just said that I and Dingguo Gong met alone, isn't it nonsense?" Or is it that the lady's brain is not clear and she is guilty of hysteria, so she will talk nonsense like this? It just so happens that I know a little bit about the art of Qi Huang, so it is better to check the pulse for my wife, so as not to let my wife touch other people's moldy heads! ”

The woman shouldn't have continued to entangle, but Yan Ran's words were unscrupulous: "You...... If you can't talk about anything with Dingguo Gong at home, but you just go outside to say it, isn't it a thief? ”

Wen Chengyan also came back to his senses at this time, and said sharply: "Madame Shenyan, my brother has set up his own mansion, and my eldest sister-in-law and I can't see each other at all on weekdays, how can we talk at home?" ”

The woman immediately answered, "She has just been to the Dingguo Mansion!" ”

Yan Ran sneered: "It seems that Madam really cares about me very much, and even knows my whereabouts well." ”

The woman knew that she had lost her words, and immediately shut up, and because she was pointed at, her face turned pale, and she almost fainted, and was helped out by her subordinates.

Others already think that this woman is inexplicable, and her uncle and sister-in-law drink tea and talk, and she is upright and frank, what does it have to do with her?

Listening to her words of slander, I am even more sure that she is deliberately finding fault.

People are not fools, they will be misled by the woman's words, they all look at it with their eyes, and they will naturally distinguish between right and wrong.

Yan Ran walked out, hula behind him followed by a group of servant guards.

Her posture is like talking to Wen Chengyan, but it seems like she is here to trouble him.

Yan Ran walked out of Qingfeng Hall, and the carriage was already waiting outside.

She was about to get into the car, but Wen Chengyan chased after her: "Ran...... The eldest sister-in-law stays! ”

Yan Ran stopped, turned around and asked, "Is there anything else going on with Dingguo Gong?" ”

Wen Chengyan hurriedly explained: "I didn't arrange this matter, I just want to give you the deed, and I definitely don't have any other ideas." Besides, this kind of rumor also has an impact on my reputation, how could I do this, do you believe me? ”

Yan Ran didn't speak, just looked at Wen Chengyan quietly.

When he had finished speaking, she withdrew her gaze faintly, and walked straight into the carriage, without giving him any reply.

Wen Chengyan looked at the slowly departing carriage, and his heart swelled with infinite sadness.

He obviously wanted to help, but why did he become a drag?

Wen Chengyan returned home dejected, but heard Minyang losing his temper.

"That stupid woman of the Liu family was beaten up by Yan Ran's slut in a few words, what does the palace want her to do? Go and tell her that what her family officials are asking for, this palace can't do! ”

Wen Chengyan slammed the door open, looked at Minyang in disbelief, and his voice trembled a little: "What happened in the teahouse just now was arranged by my mother?" ”

Minyang didn't expect to be investigated by Wen Chengyan, but he was only surprised for a moment before returning to normal, and softened his tone slightly: "Yan'er, you don't know, Yan Ran's slut actually came to threaten me today, how can I not teach her some lessons?" ”

Wen Chengyan looked at Minyang steadily, and something in his heart was collapsing little by little: "Mother, do you know that this matter will also affect my reputation?" ”

Minyang explained: "Yan'er, you don't have to worry, you are the dignified Duke of Dingguo, how many women admire you!" Others will never think that you are interested in her, but will only say that she does not abide by women's morals. ”

Yes, whenever there is a scandal between men and women, the world will criticize women and tolerate men, as if only women are needed for this kind of thing, so what do you need men to do.

Wen Chengyan listened to Minyang's words and only felt ridiculous.

What mother would trample on the dignity of her children in order to take revenge on others?

Wen Chengyan said coldly: "Today's matter is over, I don't want to hear any more gossip." ”

Minyang thought that Wen Chengyan said this for Yan Ran, and he was immediately very angry: "What kind of ** soup did that slut pour you, and you actually protect her like this?!" ”

Wen Chengyan just glanced at Min Yang coldly, then turned around and left.

His gaze was so cold that Minyang was terrified for a moment, followed by a deeper indignation.

Of course, she didn't blame Wen Chengyan, so she counted this resentment on Yan Ran.

However, what annoyed Minyang even more was yet to come.

Although Yan Ran didn't take this matter to heart, Wen Rongan couldn't let others bully his beloved girl like this.

The next day, the official's wife, who liked to talk nonsense, tasted the consequences.

Her husband was impeached for corruption, Emperor Sheng ordered a raid on his home, and a lot of stolen silver was found, and all his family property was confiscated and dismissed from his post.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Chengyan's development in the court became more and more unsmooth, and he was squeezed out and constrained by the courtiers everywhere, and it was difficult to move forward.

Originally, there were still many people who wanted to take the Dingguo Mansion.

After all, Minyang is the eldest princess, and Wen Chengyan is also the youngest grandfather of the country, and as Tianhuang nobles, they are always valuable.

It's a pity that Wen Chengyan has never made any achievements in his career, and he annoyed Emperor Sheng because of the collapse of Baohe Tower.

More importantly, Young Master Wen, who is now hot in the court, although he was born in the Dingguo Mansion, did not hide the fact that he had a bad relationship with the Dingguo Mansion.

Therefore, for various reasons, the courtiers naturally grasped the new wind direction tightly.

Yan Ran didn't care about this, she successfully solved the matter of the concubine, and then started to Zhang Luo's marriage of these people in the family.

It was the first time she held a banquet as Mrs. [Wen], and the women and nobles were very face-saving, and there were many people who came, even the crown princess Qian came to cheer.

The purpose of Yan Ran's banquet was to see each other's relatives, so she did not invite the Qian family.

Mama Feng, who came with the Qian family, explained to Yan Ran alone: "The meaning of the concubine is to let the princess and the ladies and nobles walk around more and get to know each other. ”

Qian is not from Anyang, and he was born in a small family, although his family was also considered rich in the past, but it is not enough to see in Anyang City, which is full of nobles.

Yan Ran apologized: "It's that I didn't think about it enough. ”

She thought in her heart that in the future, whether she was holding a banquet or attending a banquet, she would bring the Qian family, so that she could familiarize herself with the current environment as soon as possible.

Yan Ran warmly welcomed the Qian family in, and the woman next to her only felt envious and jealous when she saw this crown princess.

Although everyone knows that the prince's head is not very bright, there are still many women who want to sit in this position.

But how could this supreme power allow a woman from such a small place to take advantage.

But think about it, as long as the Qian family doesn't make big mistakes, she will be a proper queen and even the queen mother in the future, but no one dares to ignore her.

Yan Ran invited the Qian family to the upper seat, although the Qian family has been living in the palace for a while, but for the first time facing so many noble ladies of the family, he still can't help but be a little nervous.

Yan Ran, as the host, also had to entertain guests, and it was difficult to take care of her, so she asked Zhao Yu and Zhen Yu to accompany her.

The girls knew that Yan Ran's banquet today meant to look at her cousin, and she was still a little shy and apprehensive in her heart.

After Zhang Yunzong became the commander of the Praetorian Guard, he had already appeared.

The tough air he tempered in the army, described as masculine and heroic, is completely different from the popular image of a gentle and elegant noble son in Anyang City, but he didn't expect it to be unexpectedly popular, and it also attracted many girls to cherish spring.

What's more, Zhang Yunzong holds the Praetorian Guard in his hand and has Wen Rong'an at his back, and his future is limitless, and he is still very popular.

Zhang Yunshu also participated in such a banquet for the first time.

In the past, in Bac Ninh, she went out with the girls she was friends with, eating meat and drinking, riding horses and whips, how could she sit and chat like this.

She was bored and said, "Is it so troublesome to find a daughter-in-law?" Then in the future, when I find a husband's house, will I also invite many men to see each other? ”

Yan Ran smiled: "You think you're just here to accompany you?" I'm going to show you people today! ”

Zhang Yunshu glanced at the crowd in surprise, and said puzzledly: "But there is no man here, who do you see?" ”

Yan Ran explained: "When choosing a husband, you should not only look at the man's character, but also see whether his family is easy to get along with. After all, after a woman gets married, she lives in a back house and has the most contact with her female dependents. If his mother is mean and his sister is a bad one, wouldn't he suffer a lot of grievances if he marries into such a family. ”

Yan Ran has already screened out some young talents, and today she will screen them again through her family, and then let Zhang Yunshu contact them.

She doesn't want Zhang Yunshu to marry blindly and dumbly, it's best to get to know each other before marriage, but she can't contact anyone casually, and she needs to be cautious and find out the conduct and family situation of these people.

Zhang Yunshu suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Ran Ran is worthy of being someone's little daughter-in-law, and she is thoughtful!" ”

Yan Ran glanced at her.

It's just that the feast is also boring, so someone proposes a drinking order.

Yan Ran readily agreed, asked people to move the drum, and brought the colored ball.

She was going to go into battle herself, but when she saw the eagerness on Qian's face, she asked, "Does the crown princess want to play the drum?" ”

Qian really wanted to blend in with everyone, so he said, "Then, let me beat the drums!" ”

Although it was just drumming, Qian was still a little nervous, and his palms were covered with a thin layer of sweat.

The sound of her first drum beating was so small that everyone stopped passing the ball and didn't count.

So when she struck the drum for the second time, she increased her strength, but because her palm was slippery, the drumstick flew out and smashed straight into the crowd behind her.
