Mrs. Yan San was buried in the ground, and the family kept filial piety for her according to the rules; Mrs. Yan reiterated the matter of Yan Qian going to the temple, "Ming'er and the six girls will go to the temple to kneel and kneel, and the filial piety will be the same there." โ
The same!
How can this be the same?
Can the temple be comfortable at home?
Yan Qian didn't directly say not to go this time, anyway, she planned to continue pretending to be sick. It's just that this time it's not good to pretend to be sick, Mrs. Yan neatly asked her mother-in-law to tie her up, and stuffed a piece of cloth into her mouth to prevent her from shouting and screaming, and then instructed the mother-in-law: "Put people in the carriage for me." "Mrs. Yan is extremely disgusted with the vicious Yan Qian, and she can't wait to send her away quickly, and it's best never to come back.
Afraid that there would be any more moths on the road, Mrs. Yan worked hard and personally sent Yan Qian to Zhetan Temple. Set off at dawn, and only return when the sky is dark. After coming back, he went to Chunhui Hall, "Mother, the six girls have been placed there." As for Yan Qian cursing her when she went to the temple, loosened her ties, and took off the cloth ball that was stuffed in her mouth, she didn't say anything. Anyway, it doesn't hurt or itch, she thinks Yan Qian is farting.
"The Jiang family is gone, there is no one in charge of the third room, and the third child will not be able to continue the strings for a while, so let the nine girls and ten girls take care of things." Old Mrs. Yan was reluctant to raise any of the concubines in the third room, which was also for the sake of the new third wife to take over the third room smoothly in the future.
Yan Ying is older and behaves properly, Yan Rui is a concubine, and she can hold it down. Mrs. Yan was still very thoughtful, and Mrs. Yan had no objection to this.
The third room is without Jiang and Yan Qian, but it is not clean; Aunt Wu, who gave birth to Yan Tongxiu, thinks that she should be the first person in the concubine's room, and there is no housewife in the third room, so she should be in charge, "Third master, how can the old lady let Miss Nine and Miss Ten take care of things?" What do you know about the two little girls' families? โ
"Shut up, old lady's decision, can you put your beak in it?" Yan Sanye asked and walked away.
Yan Ying's biological mother, Aunt Guo, said to her excitedly: "Miss Jiu, this is a good opportunity, there are some people you should change, take these people who should be used, these three rooms are respected by you, what new third wife and old third wife, don't dare to be presumptuous." Aunt Guo was triumphant and felt that she could enjoy happiness with her daughter.
"I advise my aunt to keep some, when will the new third wife enter the door, I don't know, but I know that if my aunt really causes something, she will be taken to Zhuangzi by the old lady, auntie don't cry and beg me, I can't protect my aunt." Yan Ying is cold and calm, she knows her identity very well. Although she and Yan Rui are in charge of things together, she has already made up her mind that Yan Rui is the main thing in everything.
Aunt Guo was poured cold by Yan Ying's basin of cold water, and she also wanted to use Yan Ying's management to install a few henchmen and make more benefits before the new third wife entered the door. Aunt Guo glared at Yan Ying. Hate iron is not steel: "I'm doing this for your good." โ
"If my aunt is for my good, then stay good and don't make trouble. When the new third wife enters the door, my aunt and I will have the dignity we deserve. Yan Ying recognizes the form, her father is only in his thirties, and he must be going to continue the strings, and now he is making waves, and he will inevitably be settled by the autumn.
These chaos in the third room will not make trouble in front of Mrs. Yan, and there is laughter and laughter in Chunhui Hall. Yan Qi and Yan Wei's letters of good news arrived at the same time, and both of them were more than three months pregnant. Mrs. Yan San passed away and did not let them come back to mourn.
Mrs. Yan had just rewarded the two people who came to deliver the letter, and the descendants of the Liu family came, and Yan Qin was also happy. Mrs. Yan Wu smiled: "This is really a happy event! โ
The Yan family married five young ladies, and now there is no good news about Yan Zhi, but Yan Zhi has to keep filial piety for his mother, and it is impossible to get pregnant and have children in the past two years.
Yan Hao's nephews and nieces are filial piety, although they are the lightest, but they also have to wear plain clothes for three months, and it is not easy to go out as guests during these three months, and they can't go out as guests, but they still have to study. The uncle and grandfather who taught them on this day didn't know why, before they arrived, everyone sat in the position and chatted, Wei Shanniang suddenly said: "I heard that the crown princess is going to hold a flower viewing banquet on the third day of the next month, and invite the ladies of all provinces to the banquet, I don't know which lady can receive the invitation from the princess?" โ
The crown princess has always been low-key, and she has never held a flower-viewing banquet in and out of the East Palace for so many years......
Yan Hao thought that Tang Li was seventeen or eighteen years old, but he didn't know what the reason was, the princess had never set a family affair for him.
"Those who can receive the invitation of the crown princess must meet three conditions." It was Yan Ying, a clan sister of Yan Hagi, who spoke, her father was in Guanglu Temple, although he was only a six-rank official, but this time the crown princess held a flower-viewing banquet, and her father was in charge of the banquet.
"What are the three conditions?" Yan Hong asked curiously.
Yan Ying stretched out a finger, "The first age should be the same as that of His Royal Highness Taisun." โ
Yan Hao nodded in agreement, this statement makes sense, since it is to choose the princess, this age naturally cannot be too young. As for those older than Tang Li, whose girl will stay until she is seventeen or eighteen years old and not marry? If a girl is seventeen or eighteen years old and hasn't gotten married, there must be a problem, and it can't get into the eyes of the princess at all.
Yan Ying stretched out her second finger, "The second family background is good, either a noble daughter, or a daughter of a family, a ...... of the official family" Yan Ying glanced at Wei Miaoniang, who was listening with her ears pricked up, "At least the daughter of the second-grade official family." โ
Wei Miaoniang pursed the corners of her lips, and there was a hint of annoyance in her eyes; She didn't expect Yan Ying to gain insight into the extravagant hopes she had hidden deep in her heart. She didn't have many opportunities to see Tang Li, and in these years, that is, when Yan Hagi was born, she could look at it from a distance a few times, and she didn't even say a word. Tang Li is like a cloud in the sky, high above, and she is just an inconspicuous wild flower in the deep valley.
There will never be an intersection, she just wants to keep this infatuation, until Tang Li marries a wife, she marries, although Yan Ying did not make it clear, but Wei Miaoniang still has a sense of humiliation that has been stripped naked.
Yan Ying stretched out her third finger, "This third condition is that you are outstanding in appearance and have high moral character." โ
The famous ladies who meet these three conditions add up to only a dozen people in the capital. Even if Yan Fu did not keep filial piety for Mrs. Yan, he was not qualified to accept the invitation; Yan Hagi meets the last two, but the first does not.
At this time, the ancestor of the clan who taught them came in, coughed lightly, and the room was suddenly silent. The clan uncle is more strict, and he will be wary and slapped in the palm of his hand. Yan Hagi has never been beaten, but Yan Hong has been beaten several times.
The ancestor of the clan taught "Lying on the Ice to Save the Carp" in "Twenty-four Filial Piety", "Jin Wangxiang, the word Xiu Zheng." lost his mother early, and his stepmother Zhu was unkind. The father told him a few times, so he lost love to his father. The mother tastes the desire to eat raw fish, when the weather is cold and frozen, Xiang undresses and lies on the ice to ask for it. The ice suddenly dissolved, and the double carp jumped out and returned to the mother. Poetry: There is a stepmother in the world, but Wang Xiang has nothing in the world. So far, on the river, there is a lying ice mold. โ
Yan Hagi pouted, "Masochist." "There is indeed no fool like Wang Xiang like this in the world. No matter how much you bury it in your heart, you still have to follow the ancestor of the clan to read: "Jin Wangxiang, the word is not recruited." Lost his mother early, and his stepmother Zhu was unkind......"
The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was the third day of the third month of March, this day was the Shangsi Festival, and one of the main activities of the Shangsi Festival was the meeting between men and women, and the nobles and ladies were dressed up to go to the banquet. If you can be selected by the crown princess, of course it is the best, if not, there are also princesses such as Princess Chu, Princess Rong, Mrs. Anguo Gongzi, and Mrs. Pingguo Gongzi.
The crown princess asked Tang Li again to confirm, "It's really up to me, it doesn't matter who I marry?" โ
"I believe in the vision of the mother." Tang Li replied calmly.
The crown princess frowned, her son hasn't opened up yet, right? is still a good little girl, and she has already picked a good person at a young age, so she doesn't have to worry about being a mother. Thinking of this, the crown princess was too lazy to talk to Tang Li, and waved her hand, "Okay, I know, you go and get busy with yours." โ
Speaking of which, in the past few years, the crown princess has not helped her son figure out who to marry a wife, but she has just picked and chosen, and she has not picked a suitable one, so the matter has been delayed. On February 15, she entered the palace to greet Queen Yu, and Queen Yu told her: "Anyway, this year's family affairs must be given, and next year the palace wants to hold a great-grandson." โ
Next year, I will hold my great-grandson, that is, I will marry my granddaughter-in-law in the second half of the year. On the second day after the crown princess left the palace, she sent out invitations, held a flower-viewing banquet, and made up her mind to pick someone for her eldest son.
At the flower viewing party, the nobles are nothing more than showing their talents, piano, calligraphy, painting, dancing, the crown princess is very interested, and the princess of Rongwang and others said: "It's still Xiaoxiao to attract people." "The crown princess has a noble status and prestige, and these noble ladies are afraid of being rude when they hold their breath in front of her. No one like Yan Hagi will be coquettish with her.
"Xiaoxiao, don't think about it, I have already told Nanping that my family Tang Hu and Tang Hai are Xiaoxiao's choice." Princess Rong said with a smile.
"What? I told my aunt that I was okay, Xiaoxiao Xu gave my family four children to be normal, they are also of the right age, your Tanghu Tanghai is three years younger than Xiaoxiao, it is not suitable. Mrs. Pingguo said in a voice.
"Why is it not appropriate? This female junior hugging gold bricks is the most suitable. "The princess of King Rong argues with reason.
Mrs. An Guo Gong picked up the teacup and took a sip of it gracefully, fighting for nothing, Xiaoxiao was her daughter-in-law.
"Okay, okay, Xiaoxiao is still young, don't worry." The crown princess hurriedly played a round, although she felt that Xiaoxiao should be her third daughter-in-law, but there was no need to fight with them, it would be good to marry someone back when the time came.
Mrs. Pingguo Gongzi didn't fight for her daughter-in-law, and remembered that her nephew was here, "Sister-in-law, there is no blame for the family affairs, but there is a fall?" โ
"Yes, I'll go and propose when the time comes." Mrs. An Guogong said with a smile.
"Which girl is it?" Mrs. Pingguo asked with a smile.
Mrs. An Guo raised her eyebrows and said, "You will know when the time comes." โ
"Yo, this is still a secret from me, what's the matter, are you afraid that I will rob your daughter-in-law with you?" Mrs. Pingguo asked amusedly.
Mrs. An Guogong smiled and said nothing, drinking tea with a cup, this is right, she didn't say it, but she was afraid that someone would rob her daughter-in-law with her.
After the winding, the music sounded, and the two birds perched on the branches began to turn their heads and chirp, their wings and tails shook from time to time, and the butterflies hanging on the thin silver filaments were also about to fly.
"You go back and tell Cousin Fu, just say this Francis's bird sound cage, I like it very much." Yan Hagi took a brocade box and handed it to the mother-in-law, "This is my return gift, be sure to hand it over to Cousin Fu." โ
Fu Zhixing, who received the return gift, opened the brocade box and saw that it was an ornament made of red beans, took it out and hung it on his waist, and said with a smile: "Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches will be sent in spring." May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely. โ
The next day, the county lord of Heyi and Yu Qingqing, who had a good arm, came to visit Yan Hagi again, "Xiaoxiao." The county lord of Heyi hugged Yan Hagi warmly as usual, and rolled his eyes when he hugged Yan Hagi.
The three friends sat down to talk, and Yan Hagi poured a cup of tea for each of them with a pot; The county lord of Heyi and Yu Qingqing "collected" a bunch of gossip outside, wanting to share it with Yan Hao; Yan Hagi loves to listen to gossip, but she doesn't like to inquire. Among the gossip collected by the county lord of Heyi and Yu Qingqing was from the Chengguo Mansion, which was the follow-up to what Yan Hagi heard in the mourning hall.
Mrs. Baoqing Hou whipped the Duchess of Chengguo with a whip, and the Duchess of Chengguo went to the palace to complain to the imperial grandmother. The emperor's grandmother asked the female official to go to the Baoqing Marquis Mansion and reprimanded Mrs. Baoqing Marquis, saying that if there is something to do, you must not do it again. Lord Heyi said with a smile.
"If you want me to say, the Duchess of Chengguo asked for her own beating this time, and the eldest prince is also the original concubine of the Chengguo Mansion, and it is too much to find him a woman who is not in the right household as his wife." Yu Qingqing was indignant.
"It's a trivial matter whether the door is worthy or not, if the woman is the person that the eldest prince likes, then she can still marry." Yan Hagi is fair and authentic.
"You haven't seen that woman, Qingqing has seen it, she looks really ......" Lord Heyi tilted his head and thought about it, "How can you say it?" โ
"Nothing else is okay, but she looks darker than Second Brother Bao's eldest brother." Yu Qingqing pouted.
"Ahem, cough, cough" Yan Hao was choked by the tea, which was darker than Bao Rongxing...... Can this man still watch?
"By the way, Xiaoxiao, my hands are ready, when will we ask her man to invite us to dinner?" The county lord of Heyi asked fiercely.
"Oh, what do you say?" Yu Qingqing slapped the county lord of Heyi shyly.
"Am I wrong?" Lord Heyi asked rhetorically.
"Then Qiao Shuyu is your man." Yu Qingqing shot back.
The county lord of Heyi was not shy at all and admitted, "Yes." โ
Yan Hagi wiped the tea that had just choked out, "Heyi, you don't read those words, your words are getting more and more vulgar, let your mother hear it, and you will be punished for copying the rites again." โ
The county lord of Heyi shrunk his neck and stuck out his tongue, "What day is it?" โ
"Of course, it's up to the person who has the guest to decide." Yan Hagi looked at Yu Qingqing.
Yu Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I'll tell you when I ask him." โ
"And my good cousin is about to get married." The county lord of Heyi talked about another gossip.
"Who's decided?" Yan Hao hurriedly asked, Lu Xiuqun's family affairs had not been decided for a day, and she was not at ease for a day.
"Uncle De's ancestral cousin Lin." Lord Heyi said with a smile.
"Oh, it's a nice family." Yan Hagi said sincerely.
After chatting for a while and gossiping, Yan Hagi sent two friends out.
