Chapter 20 Affection

I didn't sleep all night, and when I got up early the next morning, Yanmin came to Tan Yin. After the two returned to the room yesterday, they thought carefully about the ins and outs of the situation and what happened, and found that there were still no clues.

Tan Yin has a feeling that Xu Linhai has never met Yanya once, but Yanya has been with everyone for half a year, and judging from the last time they met at West Lake, it was not like they met in private.

In any case, compared to the Lin family of Yan Min's betrothed, the two families know each other, and the two are in love. And now the Gao family and the Xu family are far apart, and even the other party's thoughts and intentions need to be guessed, Yanya is even more afraid and resistant to Xu Linhai.

After the two of them had breakfast, a maidservant girl came over and invited the two young ladies to the study. When I entered the study, I found that the three masters and the eldest prince were already waiting for the two of them.

"Yin'er, Min'er, I called the two of you here today to ask about something." The tall man got straight to the point.

Yesterday, Yan Ya said that she and Xu Linhai did not meet in private, and the scene was chaotic at that time, and they did not ask in detail, and several people made an appointment in the study today to discuss it well, so they called the two girls who were usually with Yan Ya over for questioning.

The two replied that they had been with Yanya all the time, and they had indeed never seen her have a private relationship with Xu Linhai, and Tan Yin also said that the situation when they met at West Lake should not have been seen before.

Several lords and eldest princes thought for a long time when they heard this, and the two girls saw that they didn't speak, exchanged glances with each other, and were also waiting for the following.

Several continued their previous discussions.

"Third child, why do you care why that kid from the Xu family is inconsistent? Their perfidy is always true. The second old man muttered.

"Second brother, we always have to analyze the reasons to know what to do?" The third master looked at the second master helplessly and said.

"Third child, why are you so complicated, we just want to get out of the marriage." The second master said impatiently.

"Then you can retreat now?" The third old man looked at him speechlessly and said.

"I ......," the second master said for a while.

"Second brother, this question is not so simple."

"Then what do you say, I didn't agree to withdraw from the marriage at first, but you persuaded me to quit, but now it's okay, I want to withdraw from the marriage, but you persuaded me instead." The second old man said angrily.

"Second uncle, don't be angry, don't blame the third uncle for thinking too much, if it only involves ordinary people, we naturally don't need to be mediocre. But when it comes to the Xu family and the government, whether we withdraw from the marriage or not, we must think about it in the long run, so as not to make mistakes. The eldest prince saw that the two uncles froze, and hurriedly played the round and said to the second master.

"If you don't get married, can you still get married? I'm just a baby girl, you can't watch her jump into the fire pit! The second master was in a hurry and jumped up.

Tan Yin saw the anxious and nervous expression of the second uncle, and there seemed to be a warm current in her heart. I remembered that my father once said: "Your grandfather's family is really a rare businessman's family, affectionate and righteous, teaching children well, loving but not coquettish, and most families have children for the sake of old-age care, daughters for marriage, and the Gao family is really fortunate to marry." ”

The second uncle is upright, not as wise and decisive as the eldest uncle, nor as thoughtful as the third uncle, but his love for his daughter is in the bones.

"Second child, what are you talking about, Ya'er is your daughter, isn't it our niece? You go on. The eldest man said with a calm face.

The second master saw the eldest master say this: I have to shut up and listen.

"Big brother and second brother, I think so, there are only two reasons why the Xu family has gone back and forth, one reason is that he is young Mu Ai, and Xu Linhai has feelings for Ya'er. If it weren't for the fact that we were emotionally attracted to Ya'er, then we would have to analyze other reasons. Just now, Yin'er and Min'er both said that Xu Linhai had only met Ya'er once, and the conversation was not long, so it was naturally impossible to move his feelings, so why did he continue the marriage contract? It is also necessary to use this kind of unruly means. The third master continued.

"Yes, Xu Linhai didn't want to marry my Gao family before he was Xie Yuan, but now that he has been Xie Yuan, he will take the Beijing test next spring, and they are all saying that he can be in the top three. In addition, Xu Linfeng is rumored to be about to become the left attendant of the ministry, with the current status of the Xu family, why should he continue the marriage contract, which is inconsistent with common sense. The eldest prince thought for a moment.

Tan Yin felt that several uncles and eldest cousins were thinking too deeply, maybe Xu Linhai was deeply rooted in his love for Yanya and wanted to continue to fulfill the marriage contract. But first, she felt that this was inconsistent with the facts, and she was thinking too simply, and secondly, Xu Linhai was thoughtful, and it really didn't look like a lover.

Xu Linhai, who was thousands of miles away, would probably spurt blood if he saw and heard that the Gao family's phenomena were so rich.

"Then why does the Xu family want to marry my family again?" Yan Min was confused by them and asked.

"That's what I don't understand." The third old man said.

"I'm wondering, why is it Yang Che who patrols the sky this time? Is it just because he's more powerful? The eldest prince changed his words. Tan Yin and Yan Min couldn't keep up with the train of thought, and they didn't know why the topic suddenly turned to the hunting of the Heavenly Patrol.

"Yes, this is certainly a reason, but isn't Xu Linfeng, who was born in Hangzhou, more suitable? He is a close minister of the crown prince, and he will be in charge of the selection immediately, and it is not closer or more convincing to comfort his hometown people with his hometown. The third master heard the eldest prince say this: suddenly his eyes lit up.

"The Xu family did not participate in this rebellion from beginning to end, and it is rumored that the Li family's rebellion case was investigated by Yang Che, which means that the Xu family is afraid that others will say that they want to replace them and become the second Li family." The eldest prince thought for a while and said.

"In this way, the Xu family is far-sighted and extraordinary." The third master continued.

Tan Yin and Yan Min were a little confused, and the two of them looked at each other, not knowing why they were talking about Yanya's marriage just now, why they suddenly talked about court politics.

"There were rumors before that Xu Linfeng may be still the master, and the master means giving up the official career. Based on the current rumors that Xu Linfeng is going to be appointed as the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials, and he will also be in charge of the selection, the Xu family brothers are definitely unwilling to give up their future, and they are very cautious so as not to give people suspicion. The eldest prince thought for a while.

"Xu Linfeng is in charge of the selection, and he has the intention of promoting the selected people, and even has the feeling of mentoring and apprenticeship, which is easy to become bigger. Therefore, they should not marry with the powerful family again, otherwise they will be too powerful and suspected of forming a party. The third master continued.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and now they all understood. It turns out that the two brothers of the Xu family have the trust of the crown prince and will be entrusted with important tasks, in order to make the saint and other officials trust, they will not form an alliance with anyone, and naturally they will not choose the noble family to marry.

"I still don't understand, what does this have to do with Yanya, what the Xu family thinks is their business, and what does it have to do with my Gao family." The second master saw that they analyzed for a long time and came to such a conclusion, and he didn't know what to do.

"Second uncle, what do you think, the Xu family no longer chooses to marry in a noble family, so naturally they can only choose ordinary families to marry, so I want to reconnect with my Gao family!" The eldest prince patiently explained to the second master.

The second master understood now, and Tan Yin and Yanmin also understood what the eldest prince said.

"The Xu family can choose any ordinary family, there is no need to choose our Gao family!" Yan Min said.

"This Xu family brother has a deep mind and a long-term plan, they are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and their future is limitless!" The eldest lord didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly sighed at this time.

"No, eldest brother, this kid of the Xu family doesn't do things authentically: he is not a pure and kind person, how can you ......" The second master looked at the eldest master and said: It seems that he appreciates the Xu family.

"That's different, we thought that they disliked my high family and lowly people, and they wanted to choose famous ladies, and climb the powerful to help the Xu family reach a higher level, thinking that they were just the kind of flies and dogs. The matter of choosing a talent has spread all over the world in February this year, and the brewing time is even longer, and the time for the prince to investigate the rebellion of the Li family will never be less than half a year and a year, so the Xu family never thought about marrying the powerful at the beginning, they have to rely on themselves. ”

"Father, do you mean to say: Maybe we all want to be stubble, Xu Linhai wanted to quit because he didn't like Ya'er at the beginning, and now he wants to get married because he likes Ya'er?" The eldest prince reacted.

"The main thing is to maintain their good reputation of keeping promises to the Xu family, and of course they don't reject Ya'er as much as before, so they should like it a little." The eldest man stroked his beard and nodded.

"It's as simple as that?" Tan Yin and Yan Min looked at each other, and after being detoured countless times, they actually returned to the starting point.

"No, big brother, this is what you want to stubble! How can this be ......" The second master was circled and dizzy.

"I can only think so, otherwise there is no other explanation." The eldest lord said firmly.

"Ke Yanya has only met him once, and it hasn't been for long." The third old man wondered.

"Maybe there are other opportunities we don't know: this can only be said by Xu Linhai himself." The eldest lord affirmed.

Tan Yin sighed secretly, remembering what her father said. Among her three uncles, the younger uncle is thoughtful, but this eldest uncle is the most scheming and decisive. Although the daughter of the Gao family married locally, she later went to various places with her husband, and Gao's mother was reluctant. After her mother fell in love with her father, the Gao family didn't want her daughter to marry far away, and the two of them set up a pit to make Tan Jun jump, Tan Yin secretly laughed in her heart that her father probably suffered a lot of hidden losses.

"That may be the eldest son of the Xu family, and the second son may not be as good as Erer." Yan Min was not convinced.

Yan Ting replied: "I have learned that Xu Linhai did not participate in the township examination three years ago, and there is no problem with his talent in high school. Some people say that he doesn't want to compete with his brother, which may be one of the reasons, but he later traveled for nearly three years and only came back at the end of last year. ”

Everyone fell silent, and the nature of the matter changed.

Now the key becomes whether the Gao family wants such a person to be the son-in-law of Longfeng, and he once ignored the feelings of the Gao family, disregarded the Gao family's affection, made the Gao family ashamed, and became a laughing stock in the city, but now he shows sincerity and hopes to form a good relationship together.

To or not to do, that's the question!
