On the day when the twenty-second branch of the North and South Chop Soup opened, Yan Yunquan finally arrived in the capital with three hundred guards.

Shaw learned of his itinerary two days in advance and arranged for someone to meet him outside the city early.

The steward was ordered to arrange for Yan Yunquan and his party to live in a courtyard in the city.

As soon as Yan Yunquan walked into the courtyard, he realized that something was wrong.

This is not where Mrs. Shaw lives.

This annex was not inhabited at all before.

It's easy to tell if the house is inhabited or not.

Yan Yunquan looked at the steward with an unkind gaze, "What do you want to do if you settle my son in another courtyard and live in a separate house with your wife and two sisters?" ”

Looking at his appearance, if he disagrees with him, he will draw a knife and kill people.

The steward was frightened in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Son's anger! The little ones are all doing things according to the orders of the county lord. Childe settled down first and rested for the night. Early tomorrow morning, I have to go to the county lord to say goodbye. ”

Yan Yunquan snorted coldly, "Ridiculous! It was a family, but they had to live separately. Could it be that the county lord's mansion can't accommodate this son? ”

The steward only said: "Everything is the order of the county lord's mother." If the son has any questions, Ming'er has seen the county lord's mother, so you might as well ask in person. The county lord will definitely give her son an explanation. ”

Yan Yunquan restrained his anger, "Early tomorrow morning, my son will go to greet his wife." ”

He sent the steward away, and his heart was angry.

The confidant Master Wang came to him and asked in a low voice, "What is the son going to do next?" ”

Yan Yunquan sneered, "What else can I do, she is the housemother, I am the concubine, and my son will go to ask for peace in the morning." I want to see what reason she has to use to settle this son in this courtyard openly. Hmph, act like this, and you are not afraid of being laughed at. ”

Master Wang frowned, "Why don't you send a letter to the Hou Ye and tell the Hou Ye everything that happened here." ”

Yan Yunquan said: "Of course, I have to send a letter to my father, but I am not in a hurry at this time. We had just arrived in the capital, and our eyes were black, so it was not too late to wait and find out the situation before sending a letter to my father. ”

Master Wang was worried, "Madame settled Gongzi in another courtyard, making it clear that she didn't want Gongzi to accumulate contacts smoothly. But there is no lady to take the lead and make a point for the son, how can the son gain a firm foothold in the capital. ”

Yan Yunquan's face was serious and his mood was extremely bad, "This son doesn't have to rely on her. The reputation of the Yan family is always useful in the capital. And before I came, my father gave me a list, and I followed the list to visit them one by one. ”

Master Wang sighed, "I also read the list given by Master Hou, and they are basically military generals." If the prince wants to break into the circle of the powerful in the capital and contact the royal family, he still has to count on his wife. As long as the wife is willing to help one or two, with the talent of the son, he will definitely be able to open up the situation. ”

Yan Yunquan laughed at himself, "What are you talking about now?" Madame made it clear that she would not give me a chance, and she was helpless. She had a conflict with her father, and I, as the son of the Yan family, could only suffer from this splint. ”

"Maybe you can start with the second girl, or the fourth girl. The two girls have been in Beijing for half a year, and I believe they have also met some people. ”

Yan Yunquan pondered for a while, and nodded secretly, "Yun Ge is not good at talking, and he has a lot of eyes, I'm afraid he won't give me a good face." Yun Qi is better to get along with than Yun Ge. Tell me to add another thirty percent of the gifts to the two girls. ”

"Childe and the two girls are brother and sister, and they should be friendly. The second girl refers to the marriage to the second prince, if the son can get the help of the second girl, this is the entry point to open the situation in the capital. ”

Yan Yunquan nodded again and again, and when Ming'er saw Yunqi, she had to talk to her.

They are all children of the Yan family, and they should help each other.

Besides, after Yan Yunqi married into the royal family, she also needed the support of her mother's family.

He is Yan Yunqi's mother's family.

……

Early in the morning, Yan Yunquan packed up, took a cart of gifts, and went to the county lord's mother's house.

It was only at this time that he knew that the courtyard where he lived was seven or eight streets away from the county lord's mother's house.

The powerful people in the capital basically live in the area of Ping'anfang.

The location of the county lord's mother's house is a real prime location.

Hearing this, Yan Yunquan was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

The Xiao family settled him in another courtyard, and from the position of residence, they separated him from the magnates of the capital.

He wanted to have a chance encounter and create an opportunity to get to know, but he didn't have a chance.

"It's really vicious with your intentions!"

Yan Yunquan gritted his teeth, resentful in his heart.

However, he had quite a city.

No matter how angry he was in his heart, the moment before he got out of the carriage, he had already put away his emotions and showed an impeccable smile.

Standing at the door of the county lord's mansion, looking up at the door plaque, and then at the two stone lions in front of the door, he sneered in his heart.

Dare to love him as a guest, not a family member.

Xiao really distinguishes "you and me" clearly, and he does not hide it at all, and he is frank and open.

Even if someone says that she doesn't tolerate people, it is estimated that she doesn't care.

Oh, yes!

How could she care.

After leaving Uetani County, the capital is her territory.

She won't grieve herself at all.

She wants to do what she wants.

is just a concubine, how can she put it in her eyes.

"Eldest son, don't let the county lord wait for a long time." The subordinate reminded Yan Yunquan, don't be stunned, hurry in.

Yan Yunquan put away the messy thoughts and instructed his subordinates, "Lead the way ahead." ”

Enter through the side door.

It is worthy of being the county lord's mother's mansion, and the outer courtyard alone has already made Yan Yunquan feel the exquisiteness and luxury of the layout.

"I heard that this mansion was given to his wife by Emperor Zhongzong before his death?" Yan Yunquan asked casually.

The next population is said to be.

This mansion was indeed given to the Xiao family by Emperor Zhongzong before his death.

Nominally, it is the county lord's mansion, and the pattern is not bad compared with the princess's mansion, and it is even better.

Everyone in the capital knows that this mansion was compensated by Emperor Zhongzong to the Xiao family out of guilt.

More than 20 years ago, Xiao lost her father and mother overnight, and she was the only one left in the world.

Later, it was found out that the "Prince Zhangyi" conspiracy case was framed.

Emperor Zhongzong is guilty!

If he hadn't ordered it, the Donggong family wouldn't have died so miserably.

A mere mansion, as compensation for the Xiao family, is nothing.

Even the three thousand guards of the East Palace were also the force ordered by Emperor Zhongzong to protect the Xiao family.

He was worried that after his death, someone would take Shaw's life.

The three thousand East Palace guards are the guarantee of the Xiao family's life.

Emperor Zhongzong died.

The first emperor, that is, Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping succeeded to the throne, but also failed to take away the three thousand East Palace guards from the Xiao family.

Xuanzong Yuan could only pinch his nose and endure it, and then he gave Xiao to Yan Shouzhan and sent him away.

This walk is twenty years.

Today, twenty years later, Xiao returned to the capital, and Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping had been dead for more than ten years.

But the mansion was still there, and so were the guards.

……

Yan Yunquan was taken to the flower hall by his subordinates.

Shaw sat on the main seat.

Yan Yunge and Yan Yunqi sat at both ends.

Yan Yunquan took a few steps forward and bowed, "My son asks Mrs. for peace, and Mrs. is well." ”

"It's the road, sit down and talk!" Xiao Shi's expression was faint.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Yan Yunquan has an excellent demeanor and demeanor, and it is easy to make people feel good.

At this time, Yan Yunge and Yan Yunqi got up and saluted Yan Yunquan.

"I've seen Big Brother! Big brother has worked hard all the way! ”

"The two sisters don't have to be polite. Since you left home, your family has missed you greatly. ”

The three siblings greeted each other.

After that, Yan Yunquan took out the gift list, a total of three copies.

This is a heart prepared by my father for my wife, who has always been thinking about my wife, and I just hate not to come to the capital in person. These two are a little bit of my heart for my two younger sisters as an elder brother. ”

The mother and daughter accepted the gift list.

Yan Yunge opened the gift list and looked at it, it was rich enough.

Yan Yunquan's shot was really generous.

She smiled sweetly at Yan Yunquan, and for the sake of the gift, she gave him a face.

Yan Yunqi said, "Thank you, big brother!" My sister was polite to my eldest brother and accepted the gift. ”

"Family, why be polite." Yan Yunquan smiled.

He was watching Shaw's reaction.

Xiao Shi opened the gift list with an indifferent face and looked at it casually.

The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she sneered in her heart.

Yan Shouzhan really took great pains for Yan Yunquan.

For fear that she wouldn't give Yan Yunquan a chance, the gifts she sent were all valuable jewelry, which was priceless.

Xiao asked Yan Yunquan, "Does your father have a letter for you to forward?" ”

"There is a letter from the father that the son must be handed over to his wife by his own hands."

Yan Yunquan took out the letter and presented it with both hands, with an extremely respectful attitude.

The servant took the letter and put it in Shaw's hand.

Shaw tore open the envelope, took out the letterhead, unfolded it, and looked at it carefully.

It is indeed Yan Shouzhan's handwritten letter.

Her face was calm, but she sneered in her heart.

Yan Shouzhan is not at ease, or should it be said how much Yan Shouzhan values Yan Yunquan.

not only gave expensive gifts, but also wrote letters to repeatedly tell Xiao Shi that he must give Yan Yunquan a chance.

As long as she is willing to give Yan Yunquan a chance, Yan Shouzhan promised to owe her a favor in the letter.

At the same time, he also promised that he would give Yan Yun more opportunities to experience the same experience.

The implication is that if the Xiao family doesn't give Yan Yunquan a chance, he won't give Yan Yunquan a chance to practice.

Xiao Shi slandered: "Stinky and shameless old man!" ”

are threatening to her head.

She put away the letter and looked at Yan Yunquan, "It's been hard along the way!" ”

Yan Yunquan bowed slightly, "Thank you Madame for your concern, my son is young and strong, and he is not hard." ”

"I have instructed the kitchen to prepare food and drinks, and I will stay for a meal at noon," said Shaw. You are new to the city, don't worry, there will be opportunities. ”

Yan Yunquan said with a smile: "Thank you, Madame, for mentioning it." ”

I don't mention the matter of the other courtyard in half a sentence.

Xiao raised his eyebrows and laughed, "You settle down in the other courtyard first, don't think about it." ”

"My son didn't dare to think about it! My son believed that my wife must have a deep meaning in settling me in another courtyard. ”

Yan Yunquan really calmed down.

He figured it out, the matter has come to this point, arguing and questioning, will only fall into the inferior, and make people despise.

If you are not as still as you are still, you don't believe that you can't find an opportunity.

Xiao Shi had always known that Yan Yunquan was a person with a deep understanding of the city, and she was not surprised that he had this reaction.

She said, "You didn't think much of it, but that's good." Yunqi will get married next month, and you, as the eldest son, will have you to come forward to handle it at that time. ”

This is an opportunity given to him by the Xiao family, whether he can seize it or not depends on his ability.

She can hang Yan Yunquan, but she can't not give a chance.

She and Yan Shouzhan are husband and wife, and if they don't look at the face of the monk and see the face of the Buddha, they should be regarded as giving Yan Shouzhan a face.

She gave Yan Yunquan a chance, and in the same way, she would also ask for more benefits from Yan Shouzhan and strive for more opportunities for Yan Yuntong to practice.

"Madame, rest assured, my son will definitely work hard and let the second sister marry in a beautiful manner."

Yan Yunquan was happy and happy in his heart.

He knew that sooner or later he would get a chance to make his mark.

Yunqi's wedding is his chance.

Xiao didn't want to say more, "Yun Ge, Yun Qi, good life greets the eldest son." I'm tired, so I'll go back to my room and rest. ”

"Greetings to Mother (Mrs.)

The three siblings got up and sent Xiao away.

As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the flower hall instantly relaxed.

Yan Yunquan was also a lot more casual.

He deliberately pleases, but does not show any traces, and is indeed a capable person.

Yan Yunge couldn't speak, and he was too lazy to write, and the whole process was basically Yan Yunquan chatting with Yan Yunqi.

Yan Yunge observed Yan Yunquan, his expression was like a smile.

It looks like he's playing some kind of heels.

Yan Yunquan was a little panicked, and Yun Ge's eyes were a little scary.

He took the initiative to ask, "Does the fourth sister want to say anything?" ”

Yan Yunge has always been direct, she picked up the pen and wrote: "When you came to the capital, how much money did your father give you?" ”

Yan Yunquan raised his eyebrows and smiled bitterly, "The fourth sister is really as direct as ever. ”

Yan Yunge stared at him stunned, he didn't write, but his eyes were very scary.

Yan Yunquan's heart was clear, and he was also very straightforward, and asked, "Is the fourth sister short of money?" ”

Yan Yunge immediately laughed.

is worthy of being eight-sided and exquisite, and Yan Yunquan is good at being a man.

She knew he knew what she meant.

She nodded again and again, short of money, short of a lot of money.

The money given by Yan Shouzhan will be divided in half when they meet.

If she's not greedy, she wants half.
