It has been half a month since she came to Lu's mansion, and on this day, Mrs. Tan took the three girls to greet Mrs. Lu, and when she entered the courtyard, Mrs. Lu and her two aunts were already waiting by the side. The old lady asked some common words, and then she talked about the three girls.

Mrs. Lu stared at Yan Ya and said with a smile: "You girl is ingenious, the purse embroiderer sent over last time is really blind, no one can compare, I went to Li Yuanwailang's house last time, those ladies are rushing to see it!" ”

Aunt Chen, who was on the side, chuckled and said, "Old lady, what's so difficult, just let the second girl embroider a few more for you and give to those ladies!" ”

Yan Ya replied: "I am fortunate to be favored by the old lady and the ladies, I still have a few ready-made ones, and I will be sent over later." ”

"Old lady, look, the second girl is really considerate." Aunt Chen smiled like a flower, turned to Yanya and said, "Second girl, I also like the things you embroider with those handkerchiefs, it's good for you to embroider five or six more handkerchiefs." ”

Yan Min's face immediately changed when she heard Aunt Chen's words, Tan Yin saw that her eyes were angry, and she grabbed her hand, and her eyes signaled her to calm down.

Yan Ya was stunned when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Aunt likes it, I didn't dare to quit, but I need special silk thread for embroidery. ”

Aunt Chen touched a soft nail and smiled stiffly, she originally thought that Yanya had a soft temper, and she made a request based on the old lady's words, and Yanya would not refuse.

Mrs. Lu's face turned blue, and Mrs. Tan's face was also ugly, but in the old lady's place, how could she have a seizure. The old lady was not very happy when she saw Yanya rejecting Aunt Chen.

Aunt Yin said at this time: "The second girl has just come to Beijing, and the lady wants to take the girls around to gather, embroidering things is the most laborious, and there is no material and silk thread, even if there is, the second girl will definitely not have this time." If my sister sends a handkerchief to hand, I have a handkerchief embroidered by the top embroidery lady in Yangzhou, and the embroidery workers are all good and good, although it is far worse than the second girl, it must also be able to enter their eyes. ”

These words made everyone's faces much better. Tan Yin looked at this beautiful aunt, a female trick has been cultivated since childhood, in addition to being beautiful and moving, being considerate and lovely is also a necessary skill.

The old lady said to Mrs. Tan: "Yanya, this girl is blessed, and she has long been engaged to the Xu family, but I heard that the Gao family is going to withdraw from the Xu family, but there is such a thing." “

Mrs. Tan replied: "This is a long story, and I will talk to the old lady in detail in the future." ”

The old lady had a look of uncertainty on her face, looked around, knew that now was not a good time to speak, and said how good the Xu family was, how many people wanted Xu Linhai to ride the dragon and be a fast son-in-law, and to climb such a family affair with a merchant like the Gao family, it was a cliché like the ancestral tomb that smoked green smoke and so on, and several girls had heard too many such words, and their ears were calloused.

Several people sat patiently for a long time, and finally were able to leave.

Mrs. Lu went out with everyone, a few smiles forced out of the corners of her mouth, and she said goodbye to everyone and went back to the house, Tan Yin looked at the sad aunt who was far away, she was supposed to be strong, but she was slapped in the face by a concubine in front of her mother's family, and she couldn't do anything with a rat trap, but she was afraid that she hated her teeth in her heart.

......

A few people returned to Rongyue Residence, and several girls went to Yanya's house to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, Yan Min said angrily: "It's really too deceitful." An aunt could also assign her niece to embroider a handkerchief for her, but the old lady didn't stop it, but was angry that the second sister rejected her. What kind of goods is she, but just a concubine, what kind of scholar is this, no wife or concubine, no rules, and dare to laugh at our Gao family is a businessman, if there is no Gao family, with his money, he can buy this house in Shangjing, and accept a beautiful concubine? ”

Tan Yin poured a cup of tea for Yanmin and said: "You take a sip of tea to dissipate your anger, we are just here as guests, and we will go back in a short time, and we will not deal with those people in the future." I think it's the aunt who is really sad, she has been afraid of her mother-in-law and uncle-in-law all these years, so she has to endure and endure Aunt Chen, and now she has fallen in front of us, which must be even more sad. ”

Yanya said: "Amin, Ayin is right, don't be angry, we are just temporarily wronged, what is this." It's just a poor aunt, I heard that my grandfather resolutely disagreed with this marriage, but my aunt was desperate, and later my grandmother came forward, and I couldn't see that my aunt was embarrassed, so I had to agree to this marriage. ”

Yan Min listened a little less angry, his face was much better, and he took a sip of tea, "Then how long are we going to stay here?" I thought I would be able to go back in two or three months to do good things, but now I see that the Xu family's divorce is also mysterious, and it is not a day or two to find another marriage. If we stay for half a year, they don't hate us, I still hate them! ”

Tan Yin desperately gave Yanmin a look.

"Looking for another marriage? What's going on. Yanya immediately asked.

Yan Min reacted and knew that he had leaked his mouth, so he had to tell the ins and outs.

Yan Ya was silent for a long time, Tan Yin and Yan Min looked at each other, and Yan Min looked annoyed.

"It's fine." After a long time, Yanya said.

"Second Sister ......"

"You two don't be afraid that I'm sad, there's nothing to be sad about, you have to face it."

The two exchanged glances, and then they were relieved.

Yan Min said again: "I don't know how Uncle Daddy will reply to the letter." Then she talked about her plan for a third person.

Yanya was dumbfounded when she heard this, and she had never been able to resist this sister's whimsy.

Seeing Yanya's appearance, Yan Min said stupidly: "I also know that this method is a bit risky, but can I think of a better way now?" You listen to me......" was preparing a tirade to continue convincing Yanya.

"Okay." Yanya was no longer shy and shy, and immediately agreed.

Yan Min was stunned for a moment, what is the situation.

"Instead of dragging it out like this, it's better to take the initiative." Yanya chuckled and laughed to herself.

If Yanya has never had another object, and the Xu family has been dragging on the marriage contract, there will be only one result.

Tan Yin saw Yanya agree, "That's good, it's just that we have to think about this person." ”

Yan Min said excitedly: "Great, our Gao family also has some business dealings in Shangjing, let the eldest brother take a good look at whether there is a suitable person." ”

Tan Yin continued: "There is also the next selection, not only the competition, but also the competition, economic strategy, Qimen Eight Formations, engineering water conservancy, all kinds of people, we can also look at some talents from businessmen, preferably born in Zhejiang." ”

It's just that, Yanya must be married far away, thinking of this, Tan Yin's dislike for Xu Linhai deepened.

Several people conspired again.

"By the way, in this case, we can't afford to stay in Beijing for a while, do we have to stay here all the time? The last time I met Aunt Chen in the garden, I talked to me for a long time, and I found an excuse to get out. No wonder they all say that marriage should be the right one, and the ancients did not deceive me. There must be no concubines, if Lin Shiying takes a concubine in the future, I will break his legs. ”

Tan Yin smiled: "Lin Shiying dares to take a concubine? You let him go east, and he will never dare to go west. ”

Yan Min muttered, "He doesn't dare." These readers hate it the most, they regard the fragrance of red sleeves as a taste, and if they don't accept a few beautiful concubines, they are not considered merry and talented. What else do you say about marrying a wife and marrying virtue, taking a concubine, marrying a wife for the family, and taking a concubine for yourself, it turns out that the wife is to be his housekeeper and mother. ”

Tan Yin is from the academy and is the daughter of a scholar, so she couldn't help but retort: "Not every scholar is like this, I only married one lady to Prime Minister Sima, and I have been in love with my wife for more than 30 years, and he didn't take a concubine even if his wife has no children." ”

Yan Ya smiled and said: "Ah Yin, there are very few people like Prime Minister Sima Cheng, how many people are so powerful and don't take concubines?" Is it possible to pin our hopes on such an illusory few people? ”

Tan Yin replied: "Of course, there are very few such people, but there are very few businesses like my Gao family, and it is still the reading family that pays attention to inheritance, but pays more attention to the rules, we can't see the aunt like this and think that the reading family is like this." ”

Yan Min said narrowly: "Okay, you two are right, Li Zheng and Ah Yin know each other in love, even if Li Zheng is on the rise in the future, there will be no two of them." And the Gao family and the Xu family are neither compatible nor reluctantly communicate with each other, so naturally there will be no good relationship. ”

Thinking that Yan Min and Tan Yin had found a good match, and their marriage was so twisty and twisty, Yan Ya couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in her heart, and didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, and said: "You said that Aunt Chen has been pulling you for a long time, what can she say to you?" ”

"What else can I say, ask me how many shops the Gao family has? I also asked about the marriage of Xu Gao's two families, but I stopped it without a trace. ”

When Tan Yin heard this, she thought of those maids, "This Aunt Chen is really annoying, chewing the root of her tongue and stretching her hand too long, what does it have to do with her." ”

Yan Min snorted: "I can't stand these people, the eldest aunt has a yard for marriage in Shangjing, and I want to go and tell the eldest brother to move over." ”

Yanya said: "As soon as we came, we were about to move out, and others would inevitably say that the Lu family was not well entertained, and my aunt was not comfortable. ”

Tan Yin remembered Mrs. Tan's face just now, "If we stay for another month and a half, we will say that we will stay in Beijing for a long time, it is not good to bother, and we must not lose face." ”

"It would be great if that was the case, the courtyard in Shangjing is much bigger, and Lilac Fennel and Honeysuckle don't have to sleep with those maids of the Lu family, they will be excluded and ridiculed, let's go to the eldest brother." Yanmin was very excited.

……

Yan Ting came back from outside in the evening and went to Mrs. Tan's room, where he already knew what had happened. Mrs. Tan couldn't hide it and talked to him in detail.

Yan Ting sneered, "The Lu family really has no rules, wives are not wives, concubines are not concubines." The younger sisters grew up at home, and they came here for no reason to be wronged, this is the hospitality of the Lu family! ”

Mrs. Tan persuaded: "It's just an irrelevant person, why bother being angry for this kind of person." ”

Yan Ting said: "Sister-in-law, I naturally won't be angry for a concubine, but the Lu family inevitably doesn't take my Gao family too seriously, and how can I ever give my aunt respect." Grandmother originally wanted to give Yanya to the Lu family, but now this is impossible, so she can only think of another way, but in this way, the time spent in Shangjing will inevitably be much longer. ”

Mrs. Tan nodded, "Now you really have to think about it in the long run, what are your plans?" ”

"Mother has a wedding courtyard in Shangjing, I will let Ge Gen come over tomorrow, and tell me to clean up and prepare there, and stay here for a while, so I will find an excuse to move over."

On the second day, Yan Ting asked people to start the matter.
