Chapter 21: The Golden Turtle Husband
This is a golden beetle son-in-law, too tempting, the best talent is like a peerless beauty, it is difficult to get it again.
The old men were silent for a long time, the eldest prince was also thinking, Tan Yin and Yan Min looked at each other and exchanged glances.
"Even though this man has a bright future, he wants to take a concubine before he has a wife." Seeing what everyone meant, Yanmin seemed to be considering continuing the marriage contract, and hurriedly said.
"It is also common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and we can't compare it with our Gao family, and the Xu family is the home of the eunuchs, the most important concubine, and the order of wives and concubines will not be chaotic." The third old man looked at his daughter and said with a frown.
The man of the Gao family had no children until he took a concubine, and Yan Min's future in-law's Lin family did not have a concubine, Lin Shiying and her childhood sweetheart obeyed her. For women, taking a concubine is a big thing, but for a man it is just a trivial matter, the two of them are not accurate in estimating the situation, one blow is missed, and the second blow is very important.
Tan Yin hurriedly gave a look to the eldest son, and the eldest cousin would definitely understand them. The eldest prince looked at Tan Yin's face asking for help, several people have experienced ups and downs together in the past half a year, and they know the intentions of the two of them, and they know that this is also what Yanya means.
"Several uncles, the second sister has been depressed and unhappy for the past half a year, and you also saw it yesterday, she is now very disgusted with Xu Linhai and very afraid of the Xu family." Tan Yin said.
"This Xu Linhai is certainly a dragon and phoenix among people, but he is scheming and strategic. The second sister is gentle and kind, and her mind is simple, what if it doesn't go as he wants in the future? If that Yunxian or other concubines are favored, it is inevitable that one or two will have bad intentions, and the second sister is not a person who is good at fighting, how will this day be lived? Our Gao family is far from the Xu family, and the Xu family has not taken us in their eyes before, let alone in the future, if the second sister has grievances, our mother's family will not be able to support it, but I am afraid that the second sister will let the Xu family suffer. The eldest prince continued.
As soon as the second master heard this, he immediately sat up straight, his face was red with anxiety, and his eyes were round.
"This Xu Linhai will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future, and the second sister will inevitably have to entertain Zhang Luo, she has an introverted personality, not the long-sleeved person who is good at dancing. What the Gao family teaches every day is the way of communication between ordinary businessmen like us: like the banquet held by Mrs. Li in the East Garden of Changchun Garden yesterday, there will be no shortage of people who come and go, and the families of princes and generals and dignitaries of the court are not ordinary petty officials. The third grandfather was also stunned when he heard this.
"The eldest aunt is running around with her uncle as an official, and my grandmother is already distressed. When the sister-in-law marries the sister-in-law, although it is far away, it is only a matter of one or two days to ride a horse, and the two family backgrounds are comparative, and the grandmother is still worried. The Xu family will live in the capital for a long time or serve everywhere in the future, the second sister is far away from home, there is no support, and the grandmother is only afraid that she will be worried about tears every day. The eldest prince glanced at the eldest lord and said. The eldest man lifted the lid of the cup and was about to drink tea, when he heard the eldest prince say this: Thinking of the old lady's beating of her head and crying yesterday, she immediately put down the teacup and glanced at the eldest prince.
Big cousin, big cousin, did my future sister-in-law save the sun or the moon in her previous life, Tan Yin applauded wildly for the eldest prince in her heart and sighed.
Every time the eldest prince said a word, the second master trembled, said a word, trembled, and in the end, the second master had already jumped up.
"This Xu family regretted getting married before, and Ya Ya has been ridiculed for the past six months. That's it, the Xu family kid is a golden beetle son-in-law again, Qi Da is not a coincidence, and our Gao family can't afford it. I have this son and a daughter, her younger brother is still young, and the girl is gentle, let her have a peaceful birthday! The second master sighed deeply.
The eldest master and the third master looked at each other, and when they saw that the second master was like this, they also nodded. The marriage still has to be the right one, the Gao family and the Xu family are already quite far apart, and the previous divorce was full of turmoil in the city, which is also not harmonious, I think God is not optimistic about this marriage. Besides, the second child is Yanya's father after all, and he still has to listen to him in the end.
"If you get married, it's not interesting if you make an enmity. In this case, we still have to go back to Gengti to withdraw from the marriage, but we must grasp this opportunity, after all, the Xu family is now in control, if he refuses to retreat, we can't do anything. There are two months to go before the New Year, Xu Linhai will participate in the Beijing test in March next spring, before this request to withdraw from the marriage is too close to the time gap, and the second is unreasonable, it is estimated that the Xu family will not agree, and after the Beijing test, we will discuss with them in person, I think they will not insist on getting married! The eldest lord finally said.
"In the end, we still fell in love with this kid's way: Ya'er can't discuss marriage again for half a year." The third master was not convinced.
"Maybe after the son of the Xu family went to Beijing to take the high school test, he met many more beautiful women, and if he didn't insist, maybe he wished we could get Geng post back!" Yan Min is optimistic.
Yan Ya's matter was settled, Tan Yin and Yan Min looked at each other, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The two girls went out of the study as if they had fought a big battle, and when they saw the blue sky outside, they felt refreshed, and they settled down, so they went to look for Yanya.
When I entered the room, I found that she was sitting on the couch in front of the window and bowed her head to embroider, the sun spilled onto her body through the window lattice, falling mottled shadows, with her every move, the light and shadow also moved, the fine fluff on the cheeks was clearly visible, and the silence added a bit of agility.
When Yanya saw the two of her coming in, she stopped her movements and beckoned the two to come and sit down at the bedside, and the maidservant served tea and snacks.
The two saw that Yanya was wearing a moon-white home dress, and the whole person was even clearer, although her expression was calm, her eyes were slightly swollen, and her face was slightly powdered, which was as you can imagine last night.
The two of them told them everything about the study in the morning. When it comes to the ups and downs of things, Yanya's heart also goes up and down. When it was said that several elders judged that the Xu family was not prepared to cling to power, and should like Yanya a little, Tan Yin observed Yanya's expression, she was first taken aback when she heard it, and then pondered for a moment, her expression returned to normal, revealing a little anxiety. Tan Yin then said the words of several people, especially the eldest prince, who persuaded the elders one by one, and when she heard that the elders finally agreed to withdraw from the marriage, Yan Ya chuckled, she rarely smiled like this in the past six months, like a sunrise in the clouds, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, she immediately turned around, and turned around after a little adjustment.
Yanya got up and solemnly saluted her two sisters.
"Why is the second sister so polite." The two of them hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Let my two sisters work hard for my affairs, I'm really ashamed to be a sister. In the past six months, I have been ridiculed, and my mood is depressed, and even the whole family is unhappy. It's me who is confused, I have such elders, and brothers and sisters like you, and there are still hurdles in this world that I can't overcome. Although I am not an outstanding person, but I am not a cowardly and incompetent person, why should I be saddened by these words, but I have broken your hearts. Yanya looked at them and smiled and said, relieved.
The two of them saw Yanya like this, and their hearts were also peaceful. I didn't want to talk about this topic again, so as not to touch Yanya's sadness, but after all, it was a big matter, and it had not been fundamentally resolved, so I still had to let Yanya know more about the situation and what Yanya was thinking, so that I could slowly figure it out in the future.
They sat down again. Ate some pastries.
"If you think so, we're relieved. It's just that things are different from what we judged before, there are some things I have to ask you, Xu Linhai is like this, you are really not moved, I see that the two uncles and my father like him very much, even the eldest brother is hesitating, and then he spoke out when the two of us objected. Yanmin asked.
"Listen to the meaning of a few elders, this person has lofty ambitions and outstanding talents, and he is a Kunpeng generation." Tan Yin also said.
Hearing this, Yanya smiled slightly and said: "This person is so outstanding, so much so that I feel that the mountains and rivers are far away, and the distance is very far." I am an ordinary woman, and the Gao family is just an ordinary businessman, so I won't break the high branch. I know what you mean, because I'm afraid that I will regret it in the future, and I have nothing to regret. ”
"The elders mean that he is also affectionate to his second sister now, and he will not do the same kind of regret and hurt people as before." Tan Yin said.
"I don't want to have anything to do with this person." Yan Ya said categorically.
Seeing that Yanya was so determined, the two also sighed secretly in their hearts.
"Then what if, I mean, if Xu Linhai is unwilling to withdraw from the marriage, he must fulfill the marriage contract!" Yan Min mentions this possibility.
Yan Yasi thought for a moment and said: "Just like the uncle said, getting married is not a feud, and the twisted melon is not sweet, and Xu Linhai naturally understands this truth!" I've only met him once, and I can't think of any other intersection with him, and what affection does he have for me? Besides, my appearance is only a middle-aged person, but you think of me too well, and you really think that people have a deep affection for me. ”
"Hope is our mediocrity!" Yan Min sighed.
Yanya affirmed: "It's you who think too much. ”
Tan Yin and Yan Min looked at each other, and also felt that they were thinking too much, and besides, Xu Linhai was going to take a concubine before he married a wife, and Yan Ya would never agree to this.
Seeing the cousin in front of her, who was as quiet as water but did not lose her grace, Tan Yin somehow suddenly thought of what Yang Che said that day, "If the things in this world can be explained clearly, there will not be so many things." ”
When a few people talked about this topic, they felt that a matter of their hearts had been set, and no matter what the future holds, the goal and strategy of this matter had been set.
A few people put aside the topic and ate tea, and then the maid brought sugar water, and a few people drank the sweetness, diluting these troubles. A few people saw Yan Ya embroidering before, it turned out that Yan Ya was embroidering a purse for Yan Ting and the two of them, embroidering for Yan Ting was four gentlemen, and embroidering for the two girls was two fine brush paintings, although the size was small, but it was full of subtlety, Yan Ya's embroidery skills were getting deeper and deeper, and there was a vague name of "high embroidery".
When she returned to the room in the evening, Tan Yin remembered today's events and really felt that singing was not so exciting.
Yan Ya's first feeling of Xu Linhai is resistance, no matter how Xu Linhai treats Yan Ya in the future, the previous disrespect for her is always true, and the ridicule and reputation humiliation that Yan Ya received are also true, so that Yan Ya has no guilt, no self-esteem, but marries with a heart that is happy to be a golden beetle son-in-law, how can she be willing.
Tan Yin thought of Yanya's marriage with such twists and turns, and couldn't help but think of herself and Li Zheng, hoping that everything would be as people wished, and the earth would become a pair.
