Hai Liugui, the old shopkeeper of the Hai family, received the news and rushed back, seeing that the house was turned around like this, and the stolen goods were also found out, his face was like ashes, he thought that he would have to eat a prison meal, but he didn't expect Yan Songnian to be unwilling to sue the official, as long as he got the money back, he escaped.

Hai Liugui bowed his back and said, "Little old man knows his mistake!" The little old man who sold the book gave his daughter 200,000 taels, and the remaining 130,000 taels were hung on the account of Hai's pharmacy, and he immediately proposed it to be sent to Lord Yan. ”

When Yan Songnian heard that there were 130,000 taels of silver to take, all the fire was extinguished, and he only felt that the sky was blue and the clouds were light, and the world was full of birds and flowers.

Le Hou looked at Yan Songnian, who was overwhelmed with joy, and said, "Songnian, you come with me." ”

Yan Songnian followed Le Hou to the side, I don't know what Le Hou and Yan Songnian said, the expression on Yan Songnian's face became more and more ugly, and finally nodded with a bitter face and agreed.

After talking to Yan Songnian, Le Hou called Yan Qingge and said, "Qingge, I just told your father that if by the time you get married, the Yan family has no son to inherit the family business, and today's books will all be regarded as your dowry." ”

Yan Qingge was surprised: "Father, is he willing to agree?" ”

For Yan Songnian, these books are not books, but silver representing white flowers! If he wants to send such a big piece of fat away, how can Yan Songnian be reluctant.

"However, your dowry is only those books, and the Yan family will not give any more, do you understand what I mean?"

Yan Qingge raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Grandfather, you just look at it, even if you don't have those books, the Yan family won't give me any more dowry." It's all the same anyway, so it's better to ask for a book. ”

When she got married before her rebirth, the Yan family only paid a total of three hundred taels of silver, and it was a joke to say it.

However, before her rebirth, her mother's dowry was held by Aunt Hai and was not returned to her. In this life, Le's dowry is still in her own hands, her mother died, the dowry became the private property of her children, her husband had no way to care, when she left the Yan family, Le's dowry left her, she would take it all, it was also a rich property.

The matter on the Yan family's side came to an end, and Le Hou was ready to leave.

Yan Qingge looked at Le Hou and said, "Grandfather, you should stay in Beijing for a while longer." You see, you have so many friends here, Heshan is far away from the capital, and it is not easy to come once. ”

Le Hou shook his head: "Your grandmother is still at home, she is old, I am not at home, she thinks about it day and night." I'll go back first, if you have anything, you can discuss it with Le Xuan. ”

Yan Qingge nodded and said, "I must be close to Brother Xuan." ”

As soon as Le Hou left, Caifeng gave birth to another daughter, who was given a so-so name by Yan Songnian, called Yan Hanqiu.

However, Caifeng doesn't like her daughter like Aunt Chu, this daughter is raised by her side and takes good care of her.

Not long after, Yan Qingge heard the news that Aunt Chu was pregnant again.

It's the end of the year in the blink of an eye, one day, Yan Qingge went outside to visit the market, and by the way, he played with Yan Xiuyu, Ling Xiao, and Shui Mu, and came back happily in the afternoon, passing by the garden, and saw Yan Shuyu standing on the side of the road and crying silently.

Since seeing Yan Shuyu's true face, Yan Qingge has regained a cold attitude towards this sister-in-law, usually if she can't see it, she can't see it, she came to the door, and she was locked out and not called in.

Yan Shuyu raised her hazy teary eyes and looked at Yan Qingge, who was full of vigilance. Choked up: "Sister, I feel so bitter in my heart. ”

Ming Xinzhai is not close to here, she chose this place to cry, obviously waiting to cry to Yan Qingge.

Yan Qingge tilted his head and said, "Please let my sister let me, I want to go over." ”

"Sister, haven't you heard, today is the day when Miss Yuan Qianqian enters the palace as a side concubine."

Yan Qingge really didn't pay attention to this, she said, "Who enters the palace has nothing to do with me." "Turn around and go.

Yan Shuyu couldn't stop Yan Qingge, looking at her back as she walked farther and farther, her heart was sour and jealous, and she came up together. couldn't help but shout at Yan Qingge: "Sister, why are you so ruthless!" If I hadn't taken your place, you would have been the one who is sad here today. ”

Yan Qingge was almost amused by her strange words.

The person who tried her best to enter the palace was her Yan Shuyu, but now she looks at Yan Shuyu who can't be the crown princess, and the person who comes to cry to herself is also Yan Shuyu. There is nothing so good in this world.

Yan Qingge didn't bother to take care of her, and left without looking back.

In the blink of an eye, it's time for the New Year. The Yan family has experienced too many things this year, although they have added two little lives, but the atmosphere is unprecedentedly depressed and dull.

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a woman sat in Hanyouju and waited for Yan Songnian to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, but she couldn't wait for the figure. Yan Qingge waited for half an hour, got up and left, leaving Aunt Chu and Caifeng until it was almost dawn, and then waited for Yan Songnian, who was full of alcohol and didn't know what to do.

Yan Songnian was drunk and unadult, and he was still humming in his mouth: "Draft...... Draft...... I have...... I have a lot of daughters...... Pick a ...... No...... Choose two...... Three...... Four...... They are all concubines for the saints...... I'm ...... sir. I'm going to be developed......"

Caifeng and Aunt Chu looked at each other.

On the first day of the new year, the entire Yan family knew about Yan Songnian's drunken words.

Ruyi waited for Yan Qingge to eat dumplings, and said, "Miss, is there really a draft this year?" ”

Da Zhou's last draft was six years ago, when Yan Qingge had not yet been reborn and was young, so he had no impression of the grand occasion of that draft.

Yan Qingge said with a smile: "Even if it's a draft, what does it have to do with me." The Yan family already has a daughter who is going to serve the prince, and the Yan family will be exempted. ”

This is the norm, and if a daughter of a family has already decided to marry the crown prince, then the family will be exempted from the election. In this way, it can avoid the embarrassing situation that after the show girl is favored by the emperor, the two sisters serve the emperor alone and the prince on the other.

Ruyi said: "The old man muttered something to give all the daughters of the Yan family to the saint, so that I can worry about the eldest lady." ”

Yan Qingge smiled: "He's just drunk and dreaming. The eldest of the sisters was just over a year old, and they were sent to the palace to the emperor, and the emperor was willing to ask for it? ”

The two talked and laughed for a while, Yan Qingge didn't take this matter to heart, and just let it pass.

At the beginning of the year, Yan Qingge was putting the finishing touches on the embroidery of the battlefield map at hand this day, and Ruyi ran over and said, "Miss, it's not good!" An aunt came to the palace, saying that Miss was the right age and wanted to take Miss into the palace to participate in the draft. ”

Yan Qing sang crookedly and almost inserted the needle in the wrong place.

She couldn't believe it: "How is this possible? ”

According to the example of previous years, she is absolutely exempt.

Yan Qingge felt strange in his heart and asked, "Is that aunt here to inform me of the alternative?" ”

"Nope! Miss, take your aunt to tell you to pack up your things, and then go with her. ”

Yan Qingge's face changed, she had never heard of a show girl entering the palace in this way, this matter was too abnormal.

She calmed down and said, "Ruyi, follow me." ”

She went straight to the study, picked up a pen and wrote a brief letter to Yan Xiuyu, telling him the situation.

The matter is urgent, and she doesn't care about any literary talent, so she writes this matter down bluntly, and boldly guesses that someone is trying to harm her.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and she is afraid that she will not be able to get out if she enters this palace.

Although Yan Xiuyu didn't meet her much, he had told her more than once that when Le Yi returned to Beijing at the end of his three-year term in Qingzhou, it happened that Yan Qingge and Lu would come to the door to propose marriage, and when Le Yi presided over it, Yan Songnian would definitely not dare to refuse.

However, if Yan Qingge is left in the palace now, the two are afraid that they will never see each other again.

After Yan Qingge finished writing the letter, he handed the letter to Ruyi and said, "Send the letter to Ling Xiao and ask her to pass it on to Yan Xiao Wangye." I definitely can't bring a maid when I enter the palace, you watch the door at home and wait for me to come back. ”

Ruyi tears rolled in her eyes, and she said, "Miss, how can this be?" Could it be that he reported your name? ”

Yan Qingge saw her spinning all over the ground, touched her head with a smile, and said softly, "Don't worry, Ruyi." ”

Her eyes wandered, and she fell on the embroidery work on the battlefield that had not yet been officially completed, and said: "This embroidery work is still waiting for me to finish, there are you outside the palace, there are Ling Xiao, there are musicians, and there are people I care about." I will definitely be back. ”

Ruyi was affected by her calmness, wiped her tears, and said, "Miss, I can't bear you." I'll pack your things for you. You bring more silver, I heard people say that the palace is often underfed and clothed, and the aunts are still very fierce, and often punish people, if someone embarrasses you, you will give her silver......"

"Alright, alright." Yan Qingge patted Ruyi's shoulder: "You are just hearsay, pretending to be the same as really understanding." ”

Not long after, Yan Qingge took a small package and arrived at Han Youju.

Yan Songnian was radiant, looked at Yan Qingge, and introduced her: "This is Aunt Liu!" She made a special trip to pick you up into the palace. ”

This Aunt Liu was dressed in emerald green clothes, her hair was meticulously combed back to her head, and she braided a thick whip, looking very capable.

She saluted Yan Qingge and said, "Don't be afraid, girl, just come with me." ”

Yan Songnian saw Yan Qingge go out, and his heart was very happy, just looking forward to this eldest daughter being chosen by the emperor, even if it was a small promise.

In this way, the batch of books he promised to give Yan Qingge as a dowry before can be ignored, and those books are worth a lot of silver!

When Aunt Liu came, she took a carriage and stopped at the door of Yan's house. When Yan Qingge followed her into the car, it felt like a dream.

One moment she was still embroidering at home, and the next moment she went to the palace for the draft, and she didn't even get a letter in advance, if it weren't for the aunt holding the token in the palace, it would be like someone was joking with her.

Aunt Liu seemed to be able to see through Yan Qingge's thoughts. She smiled slightly and said to Yan Qingge, "Miss Yan, don't be afraid. You are a noble girl, after you go, no one will embarrass you, so you should go to the palace to play. ”

Yan Qingge nodded absentmindedly, thinking about the core that he didn't know when it would reach Yan Xiuyu's hand.

Because she was determined to lose the draft, she didn't take the draft seriously, it was none of her business, and she behaved very calmly, which impressed Aunt Liu.

It's just that Yan Qingge occasionally squints at things on the road, and Aunt Liu secretly thinks that she has heard that this eldest lady of the Yan family is a little short-sighted, and it is true.

The carriage carried Yan Qingge to the gate of the palace, and Aunt Liu took Yan Qingge out of the car.

Yan Qingge's parcel Aunt Liu had already checked it, and there was nothing else except a few soft clothes, simple jewelry, and broken silver. These are not prohibited and can naturally be brought in.
