Sun Zhongkai was at fault first, the Yan family's divorce and retirement went very smoothly, but Yan Fen's reputation was still somewhat affected, and some people even said: "In the end, it is a concubine, too petty and childish, who is not a man who does not touch flowers and grass, he will endure it and pass." โ
Yan Fen's reputation was only affected a little, and Min Lingzhi's reputation was rotten, and they all said that she was shameless and robbed her cousin's husband.
The two women were talked about by others, but Sun Zhongkai, who did something wrong, didn't have a. As soon as the two families of Yan and Sun withdrew from their marriage, he urged Mrs. Qianjun to go to the Pingguo Mansion to propose marriage; Mrs. Qian Junbo didn't want to go, but Sun Zhongkai forced her to die. Mrs. Qian Junbo was helpless, so she could only mutter: "Children are debts." "I went to the Pingguo Mansion.
Mrs. Qian Junbo personally came to the door to propose marriage, but Duchess Pingguo did not immediately agree to this family matter. Mrs. Qian Junbo was unhappy, a dead girl with a damaged reputation, what else did she take. She completely forgot that Min Lingzhi's reputation was damaged because of her son.
Mrs. Qian Junbo said a lie, "My family sincerely wants to ask to marry the young lady of your mansion. If it weren't for her son's death, she wouldn't want a daughter-in-law who was unruly.
Duchess Pingguo snorted twice, when she was blind or stupid? Good faith? The sincerity of the fart. However, the granddaughter's reputation is damaged, and it is a question of whether to marry or not, and I don't know what the second family thinks, so she didn't say anything unpleasant, so as not to be able to step down in the future.
After sending Mrs. Qian Junbo away, the Duchess of Pingguo asked Mrs. Fu to go to the second room to talk about it. Second Mrs. Min was relieved to learn that Mrs. Qian Junbo had come to propose, "This is a personal thing." โ
Hearing this, I knew that the second Mrs. Min wanted to marry this family, Fu Shi felt that she was in her heart, but it was not easy to say, she was just the eldest aunt, and turned her head and asked Min Lingzhi, "Lingzhi, this family business, are you willing?" โ
"I don't want to." Min Lingzhi landed on the ground and said loudly.
"Why don't you want to do it?" Second Mrs. Min asked unhappily.
"I don't want the family affairs that come from the calculation." Min Lingzhi has her own pride, and she hides people in her heart, although she knows that it is impossible for her and Fu Zhixing, but she will not marry Sun Zhongkai, who has a low character, "If the family dislikes me, I will cut my hair and become a sister-in-law." โ
"What nonsense, you child? How can the family dislike you? "Fu Shi is very satisfied with the fierceness of his niece, and the men in this world are not dead, why do they have to marry Sun Zhongkai as a stepmother?
Mrs. Min Er was too anxious, "What is the calculation?" Married and living a life, can you be so careful, the Sun family has also shown sincerity, and they have all withdrawn from the Yan family, why are you still unhappy? โ
"It's the relatives of the Yan family and the Sun family." Fu Shi said indifferently.
"It's not the same." Second Mrs. Min sneered.
Fu Shi laughed twice, not wanting this kind of unclear person to speak.
"Mother, whether it is the Sun family and the Yan family, or the Yan family and the Sun family, it all happened after I fell into the water and was rescued. No matter how much you cover it up, it can't change the fact that the Sun family and the Yan family have been married. Yan Fen is my cousin, do you want Ziqi to have a sister who was ridiculed for robbing her cousin-in-law? Min Lingzhi knew that her mother valued her brother the most, and in order to dispel her mother's idea of marrying her to Sun Zhongkai, she could only talk about her younger brother.
Second Mrs. Min showed hesitation, and Fu gave her niece an approving look. Min Lingzhi pursed her lips and smiled slightly.
Min Lingzhi's words moved the second wife of Min, and the second room of the Min family expressed their reluctance to marry the Bofu of the county. Duchess Pingguo was a little surprised, she thought that the second room would agree, but after listening to Fu's words, she knew the reason, and said with a smile: "Lingzhi is an understanding girl." โ
Duchess Pingguo did not send anyone to the Qianjun Uncle's Mansion, intending to wait for the Emperor to come to the door again before refusing.
The next day, the tenth day of the ninth month, was the auspicious day for Yan and Hua to get married. Yan Tonghua's father-in-law's surname is Hong, and he is a waiter of the Hanlin Academy, a six-grade official, with an average family background. Second Master Yan was reluctant to marry such a family, he originally wanted to find a concubine of the noble family to give to the concubine. But he was scolded by Mrs. Yan, "You make friends outside, I don't care, this inner house is the territory of our women, Tonghua's daughter-in-law wants to get along with your daughter-in-law and these concubines and sisters-in-law in the family, you have to rely on us to marry someone." โ
"I'm not saying that the girls who come out of the concubine are all bad, but in the end, they are out of the concubine, and they can't compare to the concubine in terms of upbringing.
Under the strong pressure of Mrs. Yan, Second Master Yan had to give up his original plan and let Second Mrs. Yan help Yan Tonghua pick this Hong.
Although Mrs. Yan said that she had two parents and children, she did not treat this concubine harshly, and she used all the three thousand taels of silver from the public as a dowry; The two thousand taels of silver that Yan Erye subsidized were used for marriage.
Yan Tonghua is a concubine, and the status of the people who came to drink his wine is not too high, and the people from Rongwangfu and Pingguo Mansion came because of relatives. So Yan Hagi was a little surprised when he saw Tian Xining following Yan Tongming, "Why did you come?" โ
"Why can't I come? I'm a bridesmaid. Tian Xining raised his chest and raised his head, and said proudly.
Yan Hagi looked him up and down, "Why did my third brother think of looking for you to be a male bridesmaid?" โ
"What's wrong with me being a bridesmaid? I want to be good-looking, talented. Tian Xining straightened up again, making himself look taller.
Yan Hong said on the side, "What talent do you have?" Bragging about the brilliance of the skin? โ
"Poof," Yan Hagi chuckled.
Tian Xining pointed at Yan Hong, "Red Qiu'er, take care of your sister." โ
"My sister is not wrong, and, what nickname did you give me, are you looking for a fight?" Yan Hagi clenched his small fist and waved it without much intimidation.
"You have thin arms and thin legs, and you still want to beat people, but I will press you with one finger." Tian Xining said arrogantly.
A finger deflated her, and she's not a bedbug.
Yan Hagi snorted and said, "I'm not a barbarian like you, I can only use force, I use my brain." โ
"Sister Twelve is a smart person, smart people use their brains, and stupid people do it." Yan Hong touted her sister, and she spared no effort.
"Whoever said I had to do it, I was also a person who used my brain." Tian Xining put his hands behind his back.
"Do you use your brain? Then I'll test you. Yan Hao's eyes lit up and he smiled slyly.
"Take the test, who is afraid of whom." Tian Xining raised his chin arrogantly.
"Listen, there's an old woman who went out to sell eggs, and she was hit on the road, and the eggs were all broken. Passers-by helped the old woman up and said, 'How many eggs did you bring?' I'll pay you. The old woman said, 'I don't know the total, but when we picked the eggs from the hen's coop, we picked five or five, and at last we picked one more; Yesterday my old man checked it, and he counted four together, and finally there was one more; When I went out this morning, I counted again, and it was three together, and it was one more. 'May I ask the old woman how many eggs are in this basket?' โ
Tian Xining couldn't bear to scratch his head, "That...... You say that again. โ
Yan Hagi smiled and repeated the question again.
Tian Xining's eyes rolled, "I'm going to pick up my relatives, and I'll answer the question when I come back." When he came back, he would definitely avoid the red ball until the red ball forgot about it.
After that, Tian Xining dragged Yan Tongming and ran away.
"Hey, hey, Tian Si ran in the wrong direction, it's the other side." Yan Tongming shouted.
Tian Xining immediately dragged Yan Tongming to change directions.
Yan Hong grinned, "He couldn't answer, so he ran away." โ
Yan Hagi knocked Tian Xining away, and took Yan Hong back to Chunhui Courtyard with satisfaction.
Yan Tonghua married his wife into the door lively, Hong's dowry was less than that of Wang and Ma, only forty-eight lifts, and the value was three thousand taels of silver as the dowry, and the Hong family did not treat this daughter badly.
Hong is a beautiful woman with a good face, petite and exquisite, but when she sees the courtesy, she is cautious, and when she talks to Mrs. Yan, she often looks at Yan Tonghua and is very dependent on this husband.
After the bride's meeting ceremony was over, Hong went back to the courtyard with Yan Tonghua, and Mrs. Yan praised Mrs. Yan for coming, "The second family's vision is good, and this daughter-in-law is not wrong." "The concubine and daughter-in-law just have to be honest and do her duty, and she will not stir up the family house with her husband, she is the Wang family that she picked for Yan Wuye according to this, and the Jiang family was not picked by her.
On the day Yan Tonghua took the Hong family back to the door, Mrs. Qian Junbo went to the Pingguo Mansion again, but the Duchess of Pingguo didn't see her, it was the Fu family who saw her, and said with a light smile: "Ling Gongzi, my Lingzhi can't climb high." โ
This is a tactful refusal to marry.
Mrs. Qian Junbo was very unhappy, "Madam, my niece and my son have been hugging and hugging all the way. "It's all disgraced, who else can she marry if she doesn't marry her son? Who would want an indecent woman?
"Madam, my Lingzhi went to your house as a guest, and was pushed into the water, why did Ling Lang, who should be in the outer courtyard, appear in the inner house? Mrs. Sun, please explain this matter. Fu Shi said coldly.
How to explain it? Mrs. Qian Junbo couldn't explain it, she has also come back to her senses these days, Min Lingzhi is afraid that her daughter and son are working together to calculate people. Mrs. Qian Junbo said a few more kind words, but Fu still refused. Mrs. Qian Jun Bo was sure that the Pingguo Mansion really did not plan to marry the Qian Jun Uncle's Mansion, so she could only go home.
Sun Zhongkai was waiting at home, and couldn't wait to ask, "Mother, but it's done?" โ
Mrs. Qian Junbo glanced at him and said, "Don't think about it, the Min family doesn't plan to marry Min Lingzhi to you." โ
"How is that possible?" Sun Zhongkai didn't believe it, he hugged Min Lingzhi all the way, and he had a skin-to-skin kiss, if the Min family didn't marry Min Lingzhi to him, who else could he marry?
"Min Lingzhi said that she would rather cut her hair and be a sister-in-law than marry you." Mrs. Qian Junbo is also very angry, what is wrong with her son? Min Lingzhi just looked down on it.
Sun Zhongkai did not give up, and begged his sister Sun Dongmei to persuade Min Lingzhi. Although Min Lingzhi saw Sun Dongmei, her face was not very good, "Is there something wrong with you?" โ
"I'm coming to see you." Sun Dongmei said with a smile.
"If you have something to say, just say it, no need to beat around the corner." Min Lingzhi said coldly.
"Lingzhi, are you mad at me?" Sun Dongmei asked timidly.
"Shouldn't I be angry?" Min Lingzhi asked rhetorically, she was really blind and mistook the jackal for a friend.
Sun Dongmei was silent for a moment, "My second brother, he really loves you." โ
Min Lingzhi glared at her angrily, "If you love me, count me." I can't afford this kind of affection. These days, she hasn't gone out, but she can guess the rumors outside without asking.
"Yes, it shouldn't be calculated, but now it's like this, if you don't marry my second brother, who else can you marry?" Sun Dongmei asked.
"You guys are right, I can only eat coptis dumbly, right?" Min Lingzhi sneered mockingly, "Sun Dongmei, I still say the same thing, I would rather cut my hair and be a sister-in-law, I will not marry your second brother, and you and your family will not come to the door again in the future." โ
"Min Lingzhi, since you are so ignorant, then you should be a sister-in-law." Sun Dongmei was also annoyed and walked away.
Sun Dongmei returned in vain, but Sun Zhongkai was ruthless, "She doesn't want to marry me, I still have to marry her." โ
In this way, the matter of Min Lingzhi and Sun Zhongkai will have to be grinded. Although Yan Hao sympathized with Min Lingzhi, who was at the center of public opinion, it was difficult to visit.
On this day, Tian Xining rushed over, "Red Qiu'er, I know the answer to that question." โ
Yan Hagi smiled, "Really? Let's hear it. โ
"If the basket is not large, it is sixty-one eggs, and if it is larger, it is one hundred and twenty-one eggs, but an old woman, old and infirm, should be able to carry only sixty-one eggs at most." Tian Xining raised his eyebrows proudly.
"Did you come up with this question yourself, or did you ask someone else to tell you?" Yan Hagi asked.
"I came up with it myself, of course." Tian Xining said stiffly.
Yan Hagi sneered, and Yan Hong didn't believe it, "Lying, deceiving people." โ
"If you don't believe it, you will make your debut again." Tian Xining was impulsive, and the words came out without thinking about it.
"Sister Twelve's debut problem, test him." Yan Hong said immediately.
Tian Xining's face turned pale, and this fat red ball is not a good thing.
Yan Hao thought for a while and said, "There are three people who go to stay, and it costs thirty taels of silver for one night......"
"It's so expensive, open a black shop." Tian Xining shouted.
Yan Hao glared at him, "Listen to the question, the three of them went to stay, and they asked for thirty taels of silver for one night, and each of the three of them paid ten taels to make up thirty taels for the boss." Later, the boss said that it was a discount, and only twenty-five taels of silver was enough, so he asked the guy to return the five taels of silver to them. The man secretly hid two taels of silver...... โ
"Such a fellow can't stay." Tian Xining interjected again.
"Can you not interrupt?" Yan Hagi asked angrily.
Tian Xining smiled, and Yan Hao continued: "The guy will return the other three taels of silver to the three people, one or two taels of silver each." In this way, at the beginning, each person took out ten taels, and now they returned one tael, that is, nine taels, and the three of them shared twenty-seven taels of silver, plus the two taels that the guys hid, that is, twenty-nine taels of silver, but they obviously took thirty taels of silver, and now where is the one tael of silver? โ
Tian Xining was stunned, this question seemed to be more difficult than the previous one, turned around and ran, "Red Qiu'er, I'll go back and think about it, and when I think of it, I'll come back to you." โ
