Fu Zhixing and Yan Tongzhu entered the teahouse and asked for a private room, and after the guy got the tea and retreated, Yan Tongzhu asked directly: "Cousin Fu, in your heart, what is Xiaoxiao?" β
Fu Zhixing didn't understand the meaning of his question, "What? β
Yan Tongzhu smiled slightly, "Cousin Fu, you are eighteen years old, I don't know when you will marry?" β
"If you have something to say, you don't have to go around in circles." Fu Zhixing's face was slightly gloomy.
Yan Tongzhu smiled slightly, "If Cousin Fu wants to marry a noble girl from another family, in the future, don't see Xiaoxiao again." β
The corners of Fu Zhixing's lips rose, "Bingxie, my grandmother has already agreed with Grandmother Ling, and when Xiaoxiao and Lu are married, the Anguo Mansion will invite a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage." β
Yan Tongzhu was dumbfounded, his sister was sent out, and he, who was an older brother, didn't know at all, "When did this happen?" β
"At the end of last year, after Xiaoxiao came back from the hot spring Zhuangzi." Fu Zhixing said with a smile.
Yan Tongzhu was stunned, which means that this is already his quasi-brother-in-law, and he is still looking for someone to talk to, it seems that there is no need. No, no, no, it's still necessary, Yan Tongzhu said solemnly: "You have to treat Xiaoxiao well in the future." "Otherwise, no matter how many people there are, the three brothers can't bully people, they will definitely rush up and beat people.
"Precious and valuable." Fu Zhixing said seriously.
Uncle Lang and the others didn't stay in the teahouse for long, and after drinking half a pot of tea, they got up to settle the bill and went downstairs to go home. Fu Zhixing returned home, nothing happened; Yan Tongliang and Yan Tongming of the Yan family were waiting for Yan Tongzhu to come back, and immediately asked when they saw it: "Fourth brother, how are you talking with Cousin Fu?" β
"Grandmother has already agreed with the eldest princess, and when the younger sister is married, she will come to the door to propose marriage." Yan Tongzhu said calmly.
"When did this happen?" Yan Tongliang and Yan Tongming almost jumped up, and their sister has been set out!
"At the end of last year, it wasn't long after my little sister came back from the hot spring village." Yan Tongzhu replied.
Yan Tongming slapped his thigh, "I remember, it seems that on the third day after returning from the hot spring Zhuangzi, my grandmother took my little sister to the Anguo Mansion." β
Originally, Yan Tongzhu did not question the authenticity of this matter, and this time he was even more convinced; The three brothers knew about it, and it also meant that Fourth Master Yan knew. Fourth Master Yan couldn't accept the fact that his daughter was sent out, so he ran to Chunhui Hall and asked Old Madam Yan, "Mother, have you given Xiaoxiao to Fu Wuyi's kid?" β
"yes, what's wrong?" Mrs. Yan went to the Anguo Mansion and gave her little granddaughter out, but in front of her son, she couldn't admit it, "Wu Blame is the eldest son of the Anguo Mansion, you want to have a family background, you want to have a good look, you want to have a good character, you want to be able to learn and learn, and Xiaoxiao is very matched." β
"No, Mother." Fourth Master Yan is in a hurry, his daughter is ten years old, only ten years old, so there is no need to be in such a hurry to go out!
Old Madam Yan's eyes widened, "No, no, what's wrong with no blame?" β
"He's much older than Xiaoxiao, he's ...... It's the old cow that gnaws the tender grass. "Fourth Master Yan disgusted, don't want it.
Old Madam Yan was not happy, "How did you speak?" Can you speak? What is called an old cow gnawing on tender grass? Xiaoxiao is delicate, and she is no longer than her, so she can spoil her and protect her. Find someone who is about the same age as Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao has to coax him, so how can it be done? β
"Mother, it's good to be blameless, but you don't have to be in such a hurry to settle down, there are hundreds of women in the family, and you have to pick and choose, pick a good one." Yan Siye said with a smile, the information he collected for the selection of his son-in-law has not come in handy.
"I didn't say I wouldn't let you pick, if you can pick something better than no blame, that's fine." Old Madam Yan said very indifferently.
In this way, Yan Siye was sent back by Mrs. Yan to continue his son-in-law selection project. Yan Hagi is still young, and his family members care about and pay attention to it, and all the provinces in Beijing are now staring at the East Palace.
On the sixth day of the fourth lunar month, the crown princess's birthday, although she didn't invite too many people to this birthday banquet, she sent a separate post to Zou Lingyan, the second lady of the second room of the Jingbian Hou Mansion, the eldest lady Ding Xiang of the Xiangzhong Hou Mansion, the fourth miss Sun Dongmei of the Qiaojun Bo Mansion, and the fifth miss Zhu Yalan of the Liguo Mansion. On the side of the family, Lin Ruolan, the eldest lady of the Lin family, Li Yichun, the third lady of the Li family, Gu Shuangshuang, the second miss of the Gu family, and Gao Linlang, the fifth miss of the Gao family, were posted.
"It seems that Concubine Taisun should be selected from these eight noble girls." Old Madam Yan chatted with several daughters-in-law.
Who to choose as the concubine, the wives of the Yan family don't have any ideas, who makes the family have no suitable candidates, and they don't even have the opportunity to compete, so what else do they want? They didn't know that Yan Xiang had such ambitions, and Yan Hao vaguely knew it, but Yan Qian was now locked up in the temple and couldn't make a fuss, so why did she say such a bad thing?
The princess of this life is about to be released, Yan Hao can't help but be curious about who was the princess in the previous life, "It's a pity that Yan Qian won't tell me, and I don't know if this life will be the same as the previous life, if it is the same, it would be good, and I could brush up my good feelings in advance." β
muttered a few words in private, Yan Hao didn't take it too seriously, and took the maid to the school, today Uncle Tang is still talking about "Twenty-four Filial Piety", "Song Huang Tingjian, Yuan Fu is Taishi, and sex is filial piety." Although he is noble, he is sincere to his mother. Every night, he personally cleans the mother's drowning device, and does not serve his children for a moment. β
At this time, the East Palace was a different scene, and the eight nobles went into the garden to enjoy the flowers under the arrangement of the crown princess; The ladies know each other, and they usually have some friendship, but today they are competitors, and it is inevitable that the words are soft and strong, and there are thorns in the cotton.
This said: "My sister has always been smart and clever, and she is most favored by the elders. β
That said: "It's not as lively and well-behaved as my sister." β
This pretended to be modest, "Don't be surprised, I just can't hide my words because I'm shallow." The allusion is that other people are deep in their minds and tight-lipped.
The pretended to be naΓ―ve, "I'm a natural upright, to tell the truth, I can't control this mouth." There are a lot of adults, so don't take it personally. β
The words are sharp.
These noble ladies did not expect that in the pavilion of the rockery not far away, there were two people with clairvoyance, observing them. These two people are none other than Queen Yu and the eldest princess of Chengyang.
After looking at it for a while, the eldest princess of Chengyang put down her clairvoyance, frowned, and said: "It's so far away, and I can't hear what they say, how can you see this?" β
"Don't worry, read on." Empress Yu said with a smile.
The eldest princess of Chengyang smiled and asked, "What test have you set?" β
"Later, let a servant girl deliberately hit them and see how they respond." Empress Yu said with a smile.
"Imperial sister-in-law, your test is useless, they all know why they are here today, how can they show their true temperament?" The eldest princess of Chengyang waved her hand.
"And what do you have a good idea?" Empress Yu humbly asked.
"Go and let people dig out a honeycomb, catch some bees, let them out and sting them, and in a panic, they will show their true colors." The eldest princess of Chengyang said with a smile.
The corners of Empress Yu's mouth twitched, this idea ...... Queen Yu decided not to accept it, "People can't control the bees, mess up, and sting these noble girls, and people will laugh at us for being old and disrespectful." β
"Yes, then what else is there to say, these eight have all been selected by the crown princess, their family background and appearance are good, and there should be no big problem with their conduct, as for whether they will please Brother Li'er, then we will only know when we get along in the future, so let's pick any one now." The eldest princess of Chengyang put down her clairvoyance and drank tea with a cup. Royal marriage, few love each other before marriage. What can be counted on is Tang Li's kid, who has been in love with his wife for a long time.
It seems that there is some truth in saying this, and Queen Yu also put down her clairvoyance and asked with a smile: "By the way, can your granddaughter-in-law choose?" β
"I've chosen, I've already chosen." The eldest princess of Chengyang said with a smile.
"Which lady is it?" Empress Yu asked curiously.
"When I enter the palace to ask you for a marriage decree, you will know." The eldest princess of Chengyang smiled mysteriously.
Empress Yu smiled and asked, "When?" β
"It's still early." The eldest princess of Chengyang said with a smile.
Empress Yu was stunned, "No blame, I will be nineteen years old at the end of September." Although it is said that men get married a year or two later than girls, it is rare to delay to the age of nineteen so "advanced", nineteen years old is still early, should it be delayed until the age of twenty?
"A good meal is not afraid of being late, and a good fate is not afraid of being late." The eldest princess of Chengyang pretended to be calm and authentic, in fact, she didn't want to marry her granddaughter-in-law earlier, but Yan Hagi was only ten years old, only ten years old! It will take at least five years for the grandson to marry someone into the door, and it feels sad to think about it.
The two old ladies were talking about their grandson's marriage, and in the study room in the outer courtyard of the East Palace, Tang Li, Fu Zhixing and others were also talking about it.
"Marrying a wife is a lifelong thing, and you really don't want to take a look, if you marry someone who doesn't like you and come back, it will be too troublesome." Min confessed to reminding Tang Lidao.
Tang Li smiled lightly: "I am the grandson, who dares to let me block my heart?" β
As a grandson, he has this confidence, so what else is there to say, it is important to see the excerpt to do political affairs.
At the end of the Shen period, the crown princess's birthday banquet ended successfully, and the crown princess politely sent these noblewomen and nobles out of the East Palace, at least whoever will become the princess, go back and wait! When the time comes, you will know when the marriage decree comes to the door.
Five days later, the Li family received a marriage decree, and Li Yichun, the third lady of the Li family, was accused of being the crown princess of Tang Li. Li Yichun is the cousin niece of Princess Li of Dongning County, Li was born in the long house, and Li Yichun was born in the third room.
Yan Hagi and Li Yichun don't have much contact, after all, they have different circles and age differences. The crown princess has been chosen, and the provinces can look at each other and choose a daughter-in-law for their own son. For example, Tang Jiang of Rongwang's Mansion, such as Min Zibai of Pingguo Mansion, such as Yu Zhilin, the fifth prince of Huai'en Mansion, and Sun Zhongkai, the second prince of Qiaojun Bofu, has been dead for a year, and he wants to continue the string.
At the beginning of noon that day, Yan Rui took a few younger sisters back to Chunhui Hall from the school, and saw a few people standing outside Chunhui Hall, Yan Rui asked, "Are there guests at home?" "Yan Qian went to the temple, Yan Fen, Yan Miao and Yan Ying have reached the age of looking at each other, and they don't go to the school, and now the leader is Yan Rui, the tenth lady.
"It's Mrs. Qian Junbo who came to visit the old lady." The maidservant of the Yan family replied.
"Then let's go to the back room and sit, and you go and talk to Sister Taoyuan." Yan Rui didn't dare to rush in.
Yan Rui led her sisters to the back room, and waited for a while, but before Mrs. Yan called them out to meet the guests, Tao Yuan came over, "Misses, please go back to their respective courtyards for lunch today." β
Although they were curious about the reason why Mrs. Qian Junbo came over, Yan Rui and the others didn't want to ask too much and left through the back door. After a few days, I knew what was going on, Mrs. Qian Junbo took a look at Yan Fen and wanted Yan Fen to marry her Sun Zhongkai as a stepmother.
This family business, Mrs. Yan is not very willing, why should a good girl be a steproom, this steproom is naturally a class shorter when she enters the door, and she wants to perform a concubine ceremony in front of her deceased wife. But the second master of Yan is willing, "Mother, the seventh girl is a concubine, the original partner of the second child of the Sun family only gave birth to two daughters, and there is no son, the seventh girl marries in the past, as long as she gives birth to a son, she can stand, no worse than the original match." β
"The six girls haven't decided to marry yet, and there is no reason for the younger sister to cross the sister to marry first." Mrs. Yan made an excuse and refused.
"Mother, the sixth girl has to keep filial piety for three years, this delay is too delayed, and the son is afraid that he will not be able to find such a good family affair in the future. Besides, this is not a house, and the marriage of the seven girls has nothing to do with the six girls. "Second Master Yan is eager to marry Bofu, and the fourth girl marries into the Song family, and he can taste the benefits.
Old Madam Yan still didn't let go, and Second Mrs. Yan also came to say similar things to Old Madam Yan, and said, "The seventh girl is also willing." β
When Mrs. Yan heard this, she was silent for a moment; Yan Fen is a concubine, and Mrs. Yan treats her as ordinary, since her parents have agreed, and she is willing, she has no position to oppose it as a grandmother, so she agreed.
Yan Fen's marriage was decided, waiting for her to get married. Yan Zhi heard this, went back to her parents' house, and said hello to her cousin. Yan Hao saw that she was very emaciated, so he leaned in front of her and asked, "Third sister, are you sick?" Or is someone making you uncomfortable? β
Yan Zhi looked at the worry and care in her cousin's eyes, her heart warmed, and she smiled slightly, "I'm fine, the twelfth sister doesn't have to worry about me." β
"Third sister, you have been wronged and don't tell your mother's family, who else can you tell you? My grandmother said that my mother's family is the one who supports the girl who marries her. Yan Hagi said seriously.
Yan Zhi's eyes were red, he turned his head away, and forced his tears down, before he turned back and touched Yan Zhi's face and said with a smile: "Thank you, Twelfth Sister." β
Yan Hagi looked at her with blank eyes, but she didn't say anything in the end, she said goodbye and left after lunch with her sisters, and was stopped by Yan Qian's maid Dong Que at the Weeping Flower Gate, "Third aunt and grandmother, Miss Six, please go to the temple to see you." β
Yan Zhi vaguely knew the reason why Yan Qian was sent to the temple, she was very disappointed in this sister, how could she have such a vicious mind? But after all, she is her own sister, her mother is no longer there, and her eldest sister is like a mother. Yan Zhi sighed secretly and said, "I'll go see her in two days." β
The next day, Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Yan, the county lord of Nanping, Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Yan, Grandma Yan, Wang, and Grandma Ma, went to Jiang's house on the order of Mrs. Yan. Yan Zhi's emaciation, Mrs. Yan saw it in her eyes, for this granddaughter, Mrs. Yan liked it, and the Jiang family tortured the Yan family girls so much, if the Yan family didn't come forward, what should other families do?
