After Yan Hagi and Yang Liu met twice, the princess of King Rong invited the official media to propose marriage to the Yang family, not only the princess of King Rong chose the young lady of the official eunuch family for her son, but also the wife of the prince of Pingguo, and the father-in-law of Min Zibai was the Yin of Kyoto.
As soon as the news of the marriage between the Rongwang Mansion and the Yang family, and the marriage between the Pingguo Mansion and the Xue family, spread, the noblewomen who had school-age daughters in the family who were staring at Tang Jiang and Min confessed sighed, "There are two more excellent teenagers." โ
As a result, the Anguo Mansion, which has an "old" unmarried man in the mansion, has become the target of many noblewomen, although Ji Shaoting, the prince of Weiyuan Houshi, is more "old", and the fifth son of the Huaien Mansion is also an "old" unmarried man. But who let one of these two stay at the border for several years without returning, and the other has just gone to the border gate, so they were excluded.
Han was annoyed by these noble ladies, and complained to the eldest princess of Chengyang: "If Xiaoxiao wasn't young, I really wanted to find the official media to come to the door immediately to propose marriage, so as to save these people from coming to visit one by one, and I wanted to stuff my daughter to blame." โ
Fortunately, the weather was getting colder, and at the end of October, Han Shi used the excuse of being unwell and wanted to recuperate, and closed his door.
In the past 20 days, Yan Hagi received two invitations from the county lord Wen and an invitation to join the poetry society; Flower viewing party, Yan Hagi didn't go, knowing that the gentle county lord had bad intentions, digging a pit, waiting for her to jump, she was not a fool, why did she take the initiative to jump into the pit?
As for the poetry club, she doesn't take the route of a talented woman, and she doesn't want to bother to write poems and paintings, besides, what does she have to do to be a subordinate of the gentle county lord and be controlled by her.
The more Yan Hagi refused, the more the gentle county lord wanted to surrender to her, and the third invitation, she sent someone to Yan's mansion. Yan Hagi was frying chestnuts with Qiao Huaiqing in sugar, and when he saw Almond coming in with an invitation, he asked, "Which house sent it?" โ
"It was the gentle county lord who invited the young lady to enjoy the flowers." Almond laughed.
"Enjoying the flowers again?" Yan Hagi snorted coldly, can't she find some other reason?
Qiao Huaiqing pouted and said: "In the cold winter, it is better to enjoy the flowers of the sect than to bake the fire in the house." "This is also a layman.
Yan Hao smiled and said: "Let Huajiao write a reply, just say that I have something to do and can't go." โ
Almond took the invitation to the study and asked the pepper to write a reply.
The gentle county lord who received the reply was furious, tore it in half, and said sharply: "Yan Twelve, I won't just forget it." โ
Yan Hagi didn't know that the gentle county lord hated her, of course, even if he knew her, he wouldn't care.
The days passed, and in a blink of an eye, Xiaohan, the Li family held a warm banquet on this day in accordance with royal practice, and Yan Tongzhu and Yan Hagi both received invitations.
Winter days are short and nights are long, it is a good time to sleep, Yan Hagi will lie in bed every winter, today is no exception, wrapped in brocade quilt rolling around on the bed, and when he is sober, he slowly crawls out of the quilt, according to the method taught by his aunt, do soft body movements, stretch his muscles and bones.
After about a quarter of an hour, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and Yan Hagi regained her momentum, because she had insisted on exercising all these years, and she didn't get sick much in winter. Yan Hagi put on the morning wisps and pulled the calling bell.
Licorice came in, "Good morning, Miss." โ
"Good morning, is it snowing outside?" Yan Hagi saw the light through the window, white and swaying.
"Yes, it started to rain in the middle of the night last night, and it didn't stop until dawn, and the slave maid went to see it, and it was half a foot thick." Licorice laughed.
"This is good, there is no snow at the winter banquet, and there is less atmosphere." Yan Hao is still participating in the winter banquet for the first time, when the Shen family held the winter banquet that year, her mother was not married, and she was still a small white-collar worker in modern times.
"Miss, hot water is ready." Almond walked in with the fox fur in her arms and draped the fox fur over Yan Hagi's body.
The fox fur was roasted warmly on the smoker cage, and Yan Hagi squinted his eyes comfortably and went to the clean room to bathe. There was a wall of fire burning in the clean room, and it was as warm as spring. After taking a bath, rubbing on the fat of skin care, putting on a dry middle coat, Yan Hagi washed his face and rinsed his mouth under the service of the maidservant.
After washing, Yan Hagi returned to the inner room, dressed up, went out to the main courtyard of the fourth room, and met Yan Tongzhu and Yan Tongming halfway, "Fourth brother, ninth brother, good morning." โ
"Little sister, good morning." Brother laughed.
The brother and sister went to greet their mother, and then went to Chunhui Hall with their mother to greet their grandmother, and after breakfast, Yan Tongzhu took his sister out to Li's house to participate in the warm and cold banquet. The warm cold banquet is also known as the cold party, and the family banquet is cooked half a cannon pheasant, and it is handed to the cold meeting.
When they arrived at Li's house, Yan Tongzhu and Yan Hagi were divided, Yan Hagi followed the maidservant into the inner house, Yu Qingqing and Qiao Huaiqing had already arrived, and Yan Hagi also saw Zhu Fenfang and the girl she had seen in Cuizhen Building that day. Zhu Fenfang glared at Yan Hao, but Yan Hao didn't see it.
Yan Hao thought that the person named Lan'er was brought by Zhu Fenfang, but he didn't want Li Yichun to introduce him: "Xiaoxiao, this is Lan'er, my cousin's daughter." โ
Yan Hao smiled politely at that Lan'er, but Lan'er snorted arrogantly and turned her head away. Li Yichun's face became a little ugly, so he didn't introduce Yan Hagi to Lan'er.
After a while, the county lord came, and when he saw Yan Hao, he said with a smile: "It's really rare, I actually saw Miss Yan here, Yi Chun, you still have a big face, you can invite Miss Yan." โ
"What the county lord said is right, Sister Li is the future princess, isn't her face bigger than that of the county lord?" Yan Hao raised her eyebrows, and she made it clear that she would give Li Yichun face, what could she do?
"Of course, Yichun's face is bigger than mine." The gentle county lord held his breath and said.
Yan Hagi smiled, "Then Sister Li can please me, but you can't please move me, what's so strange?" โ
"Yes, I didn't say anything about treats, so guests must go. I have only heard the Lord do as he pleases, but I have not heard the guest do as he pleases. Yu Qingqing interjected.
"Xiaoxiao, what kind of guest is the lord here to attend?" Qiao Huaiqing asked deliberately.
"I know this, the Lord is here to work." The county lord of Heyi happened to come in and picked up the conversation.
Yan Hao, the county lord of Heyi and Yu Qingqing were unforgiving, and the gentle county lord had suffered a loss, so he naturally didn't want to fight with them again, so he snorted coldly, "The teeth are sharp." Without waiting for Yan Hagi and the others to speak again, she had already walked away quickly and greeted the other nobles.
"Just these two times, you dare to provoke our capital Sanshu, it's really looking for death." The lord of Heyi County dragged the tunnel.
"What is the third lady of the capital?" Yu Qingqing asked.
Lord Heyi pointed at her, "You." He also pointed to Yan Hao, "Xiaoxiao." Finally, he pointed to himself, "And me, the three of us are the three sisters of the capital, the sisters of the quiet girl, good-looking." โ
"You don't need to explain what Shu means, Xiaoxiao and I both know it." Yu Qingqing said with a smile.
"Can you change the title? Although Shu's meaning is good, it is homophonic with pigs. Yan Hagi looked at the mellow body of the county lord of Heyi.
"Beijing Sanmei?" The lord of Heyi accepted the advice.
"That's too much to say, isn't it?" Yan Hagi smiled.
"Jingcheng Sanjiao, how is it?" Yu Qingqing asked with a smile.
"Not bad." Yan Hagi's head.
The county lord of Heyi crossed his waist, "In the future, we will be the three Jiao of the capital." โ
At this time, Li Yichun saw that all the nobles invited had arrived, so he led everyone out, and what was surprising was that there were all kinds of ice sculptures everywhere in the garden, not only peonies, peonies, these flowers, but also horses, tigers, parrots, these birds and beasts.
Everyone was full of praise, "It's so beautiful." โ
"These animals are carved to life."
"The flowers are dyed with color, just like real flowers."
Everyone scattered around to watch the ice sculptures, and Li Yichun instructed the maids who came with him, "Take good care of the distinguished guests." โ
The maids answered yes.
Li Yichun was by Yan Hao's side, and the two chatted while walking, mainly because Li Yichun sometimes said Buddhist scriptures and Zen principles, and only Yan Hao could catch it.
As I walked, I suddenly heard screams, and then I heard someone shouting, "Someone, help!" โ
Yan Hagi frowned, what would happen in the garden of this inner house? It's so loud to cry out for help! On a cold day, there can be no wasps. The last time he was attacked by a hornet, Yan Hagi still remembers it vividly.
"Why is Lan'er's voice?" Li Yichun frowned and said in a low voice.
"Let's hurry over and see what's going on?" Yan Hagi felt a little uneasy inexplicably.
The two hurried forward, and did not go far, as if they heard a muffled sound of "poof", and then the screams became louder.
"Sister Li, is it the sound of falling into the water?" Yan Hagi couldn't be sure.
"Up front is a lotus pond." Li Yichun replied.
"Are the boys in the front yard coming to see the ice sculptures too?" Yan Hagi asked.
Li Yichun's face changed slightly, and his steps walked faster. Yan Hao's heart was twisted, and he secretly comforted himself, there are many sons who come to visit today, and they are not necessarily calculating their sixth brother.
Ahead was open and revealing a pond with a little ice floe, surrounded by many maids and mothers-in-law, who were screaming. Yan Hao saw that someone was fluttering in the pool, and remembered Zhao Jinyue and Tang Qingshui, it was because Zhao Jinyue fell into the water, Tang Qingshui saved her, and in the end she could only marry her; thought of Min Lingzhi falling into the water, in order to get rid of Sun Zhongkai's entanglement, he had to leave Beijing and go to his grandfather's house, and he has not returned yet.
As soon as I heard Li Yichun say that the person calling for help was that Lan'er, Yan Hao was nervous, who is this to rely on? But don't be her sixth brother! Seeing those maids standing on the edge of the pond screaming, she said sharply: "Someone has fallen into the water, why don't you hurry down to save people, do you want to watch her drown?" โ
On such a cold day, this Lan'er is really open-minded in order to rely on people! Isn't she afraid that the rescue will not be timely and she will freeze to death in the pool?
"Yes, you go and save people." Li Yichun, who was stunned, came back to his senses and hurriedly said.
The maids seemed to be afraid of the cold of the pool, and did not jump down, still screaming; Yan Hao frowned, I wanted to say that it was an accident, but I couldn't say it, this was clearly a deliberate trap, I don't know who will be caught?
Wait, there is a silver-blue corner in the pool.
She remembered that the fourth brother was dressed in a silver-blue brocade robe.
Yan Hao was about to cry, she didn't want Lan'er to be her sister-in-law, and she didn't want to be involved with the Zhu family, "Fourth brother, why are you so stupid?" โ
"Little sister, who do you say is stupid?" Yan Tongzhu's voice sounded behind her.
Yan Hagi turned around suddenly, and saw Yan Tongzhu standing not far away, blinked in disbelief, turned back to look at the pond, and then looked back at Yan Tongzhu, and pounced, "Fourth brother, fourth brother, great, you are not in the pool." โ
"Aren't you scared?" Yan Tongzhu hugged her, "Don't be afraid, the snow is biting cold, and the pool is even worse, the fourth brother won't go into the water." "How could he be fooled by this kind of calculation?
"It's good if it's not the fourth brother, it's good if it's not the fourth brother." Yan Hagi was relieved, as for who the man in the pool was, she didn't care and didn't care. Well, Fu Zhixing wouldn't participate in this kind of banquet anyway, and even if he did, he wouldn't be kind enough to save people.
Lan'er was rescued, shivering, her face pale from the cold, and her lips purple. Yan Hagi didn't sympathize at all, thinking that she was too stupid, even if she had to fall into the water and be rescued, she should wait for the weather to be warm. Not far away, the gentle county lord watched quietly, thoughtfully.
The person who saved Lan'er, to everyone's surprise, was Cheng'en Gong Wang Jian, Wang Jian Shang Ruining Princess, had a son and two daughters, the eldest daughter Chenghe Junjun calculated Fu Zhixing to no avail, but was calculated by Fu Zhixing, and is now married.
Father and Mother Li, who rushed to hear the news, breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was Wang Jian who saved people, if it was a young man, there would be no way to cover up this matter. Wang Jian is old enough to be Lan'er's father, and he is even more fortunate to wear thick clothes in winter.
Sister-in-law, help her, and have the right to do it.
Because of this incident, the warm and cold banquet was still defeated in the end, and the matter was hastily completed, and all the guests said goodbye and went home. On the carriage, Yan Hagi gossiped, "I don't know who that Lan'er wants to calculate?" โ
Yan Tongzhu hesitated for a moment and said, "Me." โ
"How do you know?" Yan Hagi asked in surprise.
"I've met her three times on the street." Yan Tongzhu said simply.
Yan Hao stared at Yan Tongzhu vigilantly, "Fourth brother, don't you have any thoughts about her?" โ
"How is that possible? Is your fourth brother's vision so bad? Yan Tongzhu rubbed Yan Hagi's head.
Yan Hagi slapped his hand away and said solemnly: "Fourth brother, she didn't succeed in her calculation this time, there must be a next time, you have to be careful, I don't want a scheming sister-in-law." โ
"Don't worry, your fourth brother won't marry that kind of person." Yan Tongzhu squinted slightly, and the essence flashed.
The matter at the warm cold banquet soon spread out, and everyone felt that Lan'er's falling into the water was not an accident, but intentional, to calculate people, as for who to calculate, there were too many sons and brothers who participated in the warm cold banquet, and everyone's guesses were varied, some guessed Gao Zijun, some guessed Zhou Jingchi, some guessed Min confessed, some guessed Zhao Yanqing, and of course there were also guessed Yan Tongzhu.
In winter, she fell into the icy pool water, and the rescue was not very timely, and Lan'er was naturally sick. Her mother, Gao Zhu, waited for her to drink the medicine, and asked in a deep voice: "Say, who do you want to calculate?" โ
"I didn't calculate anyone, I fell down." Lan'er didn't admit it.
Gao Zhu snorted coldly, "You were born by me, and as soon as you slap your ass, I will know what shit you have." Tell me, who the hell are you trying to calculate? โ
"Yan Tong Candle." Lan'er knew that the Li family had sent invitations to Yan Tongzhu, so she began to arrange it, but unfortunately the person who arranged it pushed the wrong person.
"Which family is it?" Gao Zhu's time in Beijing is still short, and he has not yet recognized all the people.
"His grandfather is Taifu, he is the attendant of Taisun, and he is the sixteenth in Qiufu High School this time." Lan'er inquired very clearly.
"Yes, yes, my daughter has a good eye." Gao Zhu smiled with satisfaction.
"Mother, you find someone to go to Yan's house and ask them to invite someone to propose marriage." Lan'er said shyly.
"Okay, you take care of your illness, my mother knows how to do it." Gao Zhu said happily.
