After the Laba Festival, the atmosphere of the New Year in Beijing became more and more intense, and when Yan Hagi was happily preparing for the New Year, he heard a "bad news", and the county lord of Heyi broke his hand. So Yan Hagi went to beg the county lord of Nanping and took her into the palace to visit the county lord of Heyi.
Entering the palace, he went straight to the Jiaofang Hall where the queen's mother lived, and asked Queen Yu for peace, Yan Hao asked eagerly: "Niangniang, where is the county lord of Heyi?" โ
"It's hard for us to be Xiaoxiao, and we are still running to the palace on this cold day." Empress Yu was very happy that Yan Hagi cared so much about the county lord of Heyi.
"Wear thick ones, and they won't be cold." Yan Hagi said in a coquettish voice.
"It's right in the apse." Empress Yu asked a palace maid to lead Yan Hagi in.
When I entered the room where the lord of Heyi County lived, I saw her sitting cross-legged on the kang, with a kang table in front of her, hanging on her right arm, and eating a pastry in her left hand.
"Appropriate." Yan Hagi called.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you here?" The lord of Heyi happily got down from the kang and habitually prepared to pounce on her.
"You stand still for me, your arm is broken, settle down." Yan Hagi stopped with a voice.
The county lord of Heyi stuck out his tongue, "Forget." โ
"How did you get your arm?" Yan Hagi sat down and asked.
The county lord of Heyi grinned and said: "I'll compare with Xiangcheng to see who leans out of the window more, even if whoever wins, do you know who wins?" โ
Yan Hagi resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "You won." โ
"Xiaoxiao, you're so smart, how did you guess?" Lord Heyi asked happily.
Yan Hagi pointed to her arm and said word by word: "Obviously." โ
"It's a mistake, a mistake, if I hold on, I won't fall." The county lord of Heyi did not learn his lesson at all.
"Did you win, did you have any prizes?" Yan Hagi asked.
Lord Heyi blinked, "No." โ
Yan Hagi slapped his forehead, "Okay, you can continue to eat pastries." "This unfortunate boy broke his arm.
"Xiaoxiao, I was going to go out of the palace tomorrow to find you, but today you came here to talk to you about something." The county lord of Heyi tugged at Yan Hao's sleeve and motioned for her to come closer.
"What's the matter? Mysterious. Yan Hagi leaned over.
Lord Heyi said in her ear: "My mother has helped my cousin Lu choose a good family." โ
"If you choose well, you will choose well, what does it have to do with me?" Yan Hagi glanced at her.
"It's because it has something to do with you, so I told you." The county lord of Heyi said urgently.
Yan Hagi realized, "Wouldn't it? The person your mother chose for her won't be my fourth brother, right? โ
"It's your fourth brother." The county lord of Heyi said in a deep voice.
Yan Hao was a little confused, Lu Xiuqun was her fourth sister-in-law, and she felt that it would be a disaster.
The county lord of Heyi handed her the teacup, "Xiaoxiao, take a sip of tea, suppress the shock." โ
Yan Hagi took the teacup, took a big sip, swallowed it slowly, and said calmly: "If my fourth brother likes her, it's not impossible to marry her." "It is very suitable for a woman cultivated by the family to be the eldest daughter-in-law. Although she doesn't like Lu Xiuqun, she will never willfully hinder her brother's good marriage. It's just that she can't get along with her eldest sister-in-law, and she won't be able to go back to her parents' house often in the future.
The county lord of Heyi pouted, "How could Fourth Brother Yan like such a boring person?" โ
"What if you like it?" Yan Hagi asked with a frown.
"Impossible, let's bet, you go back and ask Fourth Brother Yan, if Fourth Brother Yan likes Lu Xiuqun like that, I will chop off my head and use it as a stool for you to sit on." The county lord of Heyi made a motion to wipe his neck.
Yan Hagi took a sip of her, "What do I want your head to do?" โ
"That's all I said, I don't plan to lose my head to you, how can I eat without my head?" Lord Heyi said with a smile.
"Okay, I see you're good, then I'll leave the palace, Qingqing doesn't know when I'll come back?" The day before Yan Hagi returned to Beijing, Yu Qingqing left Beijing with her mother to visit her grandmother, who was seriously ill.
"You remember to ask Fourth Brother Yan." The county lord of Heyi admonished.
"Got it." Yan Hagi responded.
On the way home from the palace, Yan Hao asked the county lord of Nanping tentatively, "Mother, are you the one who is favored by my fourth brother?" โ
"What benefits did your fourth brother promise you? Let me help me inquire. The county lord of Nanping asked with a smile.
"No, people care about the fourth brother." Yan Hagi rubbed into the arms of the county lord of Nanping, "I also want to know if the future fourth sister-in-law will get along?" "Lu Xiuqun is too rigorous, and she is not a person all the way, it is definitely not easy to get along with her, it is really terrible!
"Mother wants to find a powerful one to take care of you little girl." The county lord of Nanping pinched her nose and said.
Yan Hagi was shocked, her mother really loved Lu Xiuqun, and it was over. Yan Hagi was lying on her stomach in Nanping, dying, her good days were coming to an end.
"Ouch, what's going on? Why is it so inadvertent? The county lord of Nanping asked in surprise.
Yan Hagi was reborn by these words, "Mother, you are teasing me, so which young lady did you fall in love with my fourth brother?" โ
The county lord of Nanping smiled, "I won't tell you." โ
"Mother, let's talk about it, who is it?" Yan Hagi said coquettishly.
"Want to know?" The county lord of Nanping asked.
Yan Hao nodded.
"Then you can help your mother ask your fourth brother, if there is a girl you like." The county lord of Nanping said with a smile. The last time she asked, the eldest son refused to show her mouth, this time she asked her daughter to ask, she should be able to ask something, right? In principle, she hopes that her children can find the other half they like, of course, Yan Tongzhu is the eldest son of the fourth room, and he bears different responsibilities from Yan Tongliang; His wife is the mother of the fourth room, and the requirements for her are also different.
"Mother, that's good!" Yan Hagi hugged the county lord of Nanping and kissed her; The lord of Nanping chooses a wife for his eldest son, and he thinks not about whether he likes it, but whether he likes it, which is very rare.
With the authorization of the county lord of Nanping, Yan Hagi went to Yan Tongzhu confidently, "Fourth brother, the third brother has already made a marriage, and it will be your turn soon, tell me quickly, what kind of girl do you like?"
"Mother asked you to inquire?" Yan Tongzhu asked with a smile.
"Fourth brother, don't care who wants to inquire, this matter is very important, your life, you don't hide it, it's good to say it directly, what if your mother picks something that doesn't suit your heart? You can't marry your wife back as an ornament, and then take a concubine as true love, right? Yan Hagi said seriously.
Seeing that my sister was really anxious, Yan Tongzhu smiled and said: "I don't have a girl I particularly like, and I don't want to get married for the time being, little sister, help me persuade my mother, can I ask my mother to delay for two years?" โ
Yan Hagi thought for a while and said, "I know, I'll go and tell my mother." โ
"Thank you, little sister." Yan Tongzhu touched her head.
"Then you will come to Yinian Courtyard tomorrow to listen to the reply." Yan Hagi really didn't want to come to the outer courtyard against the wind, so she took the sugar painting that Yan Tongzhu bought for her, and went back to the inner house to find the lord of Nanping, and said the meaning of Yan Tongzhu; The county lord of Nanping was silent and thoughtful.
"Mother, after all, it is better to listen to the meaning of the fourth brother if you want to live with the fourth brother for a lifetime, and the fourth brother is not very old, so it is okay to get married two years later." Yan Hagi spoke hard for Yan Tongzhu, trying to convince the county lord of Nanping.
The county lord of Nanping didn't speak, he was still thinking; Yan Hao's eyes flickered, and he sighed: "It's all my fault!" โ
"How?" The county lord of Nanping asked puzzled.
Yan Hagi put his hands on his cheeks, frowned, and said: "My brothers are used to seeing a prosperous beauty like me, how can an ordinary girl see it in her eyes?" I was very worried that my brothers couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, but now it's my fault. โ
Even if the county lord of Nanping was worried about his eldest son's reluctance to marry, he was amused by his daughter's remarks, "Shengshi is beautiful, I didn't see it, I saw a little cheeky skin." โ
Yan Hagi threw himself into her arms reluctantly, "It's a beautiful face in the prosperous world, a beautiful face in the prosperous world!" โ
At this time, Yan Siye came into the door with a plum blossom, and when he saw his daughter there, he quickly hid the plum blossom behind him, Yan Hagi had actually seen it, but forget it, she didn't have time to demolish her father in her busy schedule.
"What are you mother and daughter talking about?" Yan Siye asked with a smile.
"I'm talking about the family affairs of the little four." The county lord of Nanping said what Yan Tongzhu meant, "When you reach the marriageable age, you don't want to get married, how can this be good?" โ
"What's this, when he meets the person he wants to marry, he will definitely come to you in a hurry, begging you to come to help him propose, just like I did back then." Yan Siye appeared to say.
The county lord of Nanping pursed his lips and smiled, "Then follow his wishes and delay it for two years?" โ
"It's good to delay for two years, you can be a grandmother at such a young age, and it doesn't look like it." Yan Siye is not in a hurry to hold his grandson.
The county lord of Nanping glanced at Yan Siye coquettishly and patted Yan Hao, "Okay, tell your fourth brother, and say that my father and mother agreed." โ
Yan Hagi ran away with cheers, the fourth brother is a man who has been delayed for two years, and Lu Xiuqun's age can't wait for two years, so that Lu Xiuqun will not become her sister-in-law.
"Why is this little girl so happy? Does she just want her fourth brother to get married? The county lord of Nanping was puzzled.
The girl who was in the way left, Yan Siye took out the plum blossom branch behind him and put it in front of the lord of Nanping, "People are more colorless than flowers, and flowers are also gloomy in front of people." โ
The county lord of Nanping pursed his lips and smiled, leaning into his arms.
"Thinking carefully, strange and beautiful, but only dark red and light white. Strive to be so amorous, occupy the world, and be charming. "Fourth Master Yan hasn't eaten meat for two days, and his heart is itching, and his hands and feet are hairy.
The county lord of Nanping pushed a few times weakly, and his whole body was numb, as he wished.
The next morning, Yan Tongzhu came to Yi Nian Courtyard as promised, "Little sister." โ
"Fourth brother, you're here." Yan Hagi happily greeted him.
Yan Tongzhu stepped forward and picked up the red book on the kang table, and said with a smile: "Little sister's words, the more you write, the better." โ
"I practice with my heart." Yan Hagijiao smiled.
The brother and sister sat down on the kang, and Yan Hagi immediately told Yan Tongzhu, "Fourth brother, my father and mother promised to let you get married for two years, are you not happy?" โ
"Happy, thank you, little sister." Yan Tongzhu said with a smile.
"Fourth brother, if you want to have a girl you like in the future, you must tell me." Yan Hagi made a request.
"I'll tell you." Yan Tongzhu readily agreed, "You have done the fourth brother such a great favor, and the fourth brother has decided to take you out to enjoy the lanterns on the first night, okay?" โ
"Okay, the fourth brother is the best, I like the fourth brother the most." Yan Hagi said happily.
The brother and sister gossiped a few more words, and Yan Tongzhu left, although they were biological brothers and sisters, but Yan Hagi had grown up, and Yan Tongzhu was not good to stay in her yard for a long time.
Sending Yan Tongzhu out of the courtyard, Honeysuckle came in, "Miss, Miss Six's nurse's brother-in-law secretly went to the black medicine hall in Beijing to buy medicine. โ
Yan Hagi frowned, "Black Doctor? What medicine did she go to buy? โ
"A medicine called Danxi San." Honeysuckle said in a deep voice.
Yan Hagi dipped his pen in ink, "What kind of disease is it cured?" โ
Honeysuckle licked her lips and said, "The slave's aunt specially asked the doctor in the medical hall that this medicine is for sterilization of women. โ
"Smack" the brush in Yan Hagi's hand fell, "What for?" โ
"For neutering." Honeysuckle replied affirmatively.
Yan Hagi put the pen back on the pen holder, this one was stained with black juice, and he couldn't ask for it, so he crumpled it up and threw it aside, and asked, "Are you sure it's used for that?" โ
"The slave's aunt specially asked the three medical centers, and the doctor said that it was for women to be sterilized, and ordinary medical centers did not sell it, saying that this kind of medicine hurt Tianhe." Honeysuckle is still very reliable.
Yan Hao was chilled, Yan Qian couldn't buy this medicine for her own use, so who did she buy this medicine for? Yan Hao thought of a possibility, she and Yan Qian had a grudge in their previous lives, and this medicine was most likely for her.
"How can Miss Six be so ...... Such a ...... Malevolent? Licorice said angrily, sterilization is a catastrophe for any woman, Miss Six is raised in a deep boudoir, it is impossible to have a life-and-death enmity with others, but it is too much to use Danxi to dissan and cut off other people's children, "Miss Six bought this medicine, who do you want to harm?" โ
Yan Hagi pointed at himself calmly.
"Miss, you have to tell the old lady about this quickly." Licorice said in a hurry.
"If I hadn't been caught on the spot, Yan Qian would never admit it, and when the time came, I would have been accused of framing my cousin in the next room." Yan Hagi held his cheeks.
"Do you just let Miss Six go?" Licorice frowned.
"Don't worry, let me think, let me think." Yan Hagi pondered for a long time, and then had an idea, "Honeysuckle, what color is that medicinal powder?" โ
"The doctor said it was white powder." Honeysuckle replied.
"Licorice, go and get ten taels of silver." Yan Hagi commanded.
Licorice went to the inner room and weighed ten taels of silver according to her words, and Yan Hagi asked her to give the silver to Honeysuckle, "Let your aunt go to the pharmacy to buy a pack of Poria powder, and find a way to exchange it with the bag of Danxi San, and give the extra silver to the three little girls, let them keep an eye on Juyun Pavilion, but if there is a little bit of trouble, come and report to me immediately." "Yan Hagi is a generous master, besides, the emperor still doesn't raise hungry soldiers, and if he wants his subordinates to be loyal, he must be gracious and powerful.
"Thank you, miss." Honeysuckle curtsied.
"Licorice, the small kitchen in the yard, you let the water chestnuts take care of it, go buy a lock for the water chestnut, let her lock up all the ingredients, but if there is a suspicious person approaching the small kitchen, let her write it down." Yan Hao is at ease with the big kitchen at home, Mrs. Yan manages the big kitchen like an iron bucket, and Yan Qian wants to plug in and do it, but it is impossible. If there is a hole to drill, it is the small kitchen in your own yard.
"Miss, don't worry, the slave will never let the people of Juyun Pavilion have any chance." Licorice said with a serious face.
