Chapter Twenty-Nine
"What?" Yan Qingge turned around suddenly, grinded his teeth, squinted and said, "I remembered, it was the one called mud yesterday." When she barged in, we were talking about handkerchiefs. Don't worry, it's nothing at all. ”
When she went out, Ling Xiao greeted her affectionately, grabbed her hand, and said, "You can change it, everyone outside is going to salute Princess Yan, I am waiting for you." ”
Yan Qingge smiled, grabbed Ling Xiao's arm, and went to the hall together.
I saw that Princess Yan, who had not appeared in the morning, was wearing a big gown and sitting in the main seat of the hall, and she was lying on her knees with an eight- or nine-year-old boy, who was Yan Xiuyu.
Seeing Yan Qingge me, Yan Xiuyu's eyes lit up, and he wanted to go straight to her, but was stopped by Princess Yan.
Princess Yan smiled: "You kid, why are you so frizzy." When I see a playmate of a similar age, I can't sit still. also said that after apprenticeship, study hard, see that you are not a scholar. ”
The lowly ladies all let out bursts of good-natured laughter.
Yan Xiuyu and Ling Xiao had known each other for a long time, and stepped forward to salute Ling Xiao and Yan Qingge: "I've seen the Ling family's sister, I've seen the Yan family's sister." There are a lot of people, let's go out and play in the garden. ”
Ling Xiao nodded happily, pulled Yan Qingge, and walked out.
Many noble ladies saw Yan Qingge for the first time, and praised her back: "What a quiet girl, this is the first time I have seen her." ”
"You don't remember, Sister Le later married the Yan family by mistake, this must be the ** she left, and she really has a bit of Sister Le's character." Suddenly, a noble lady spoke.
Speaking of Le's, there was a burst of "no wonder" sound in the hall, but everyone seemed to have some tacit understanding, and immediately changed the topic and never talked about Le's related things again.
When he arrived in the garden outside, Yan Qingge said: "Little Lord Yan, I borrowed your handkerchief to wipe your face yesterday, why did you take it away for me, return it quickly." ”
Yan Xiuyu went to pick up his sleeves: "Here!" But he took it out and said, "Hey, I obviously put it in the sleeve, why is it gone." ”
Yan Qingge's face changed, and he said, "Has anyone ever walked next to you?" ”
Ling Xiao saw that she was unhappy, and persuaded: "It's just a handkerchief, if you don't have your mark on it, you will lose it." Today is a good day for Yan Xiaowangye, and looking at his little face, I was stunned by my sister. ”
Yan Qingge said helplessly: "Sister, you don't know, I didn't pay attention to this veil matter, and I don't care if I lose it." It's just that I have a bad aunt in my family, and she asked someone to come and steal the veil today and ruin my reputation. The maid who just sent the clothes came to report this, just because it was a family ugly, I didn't say it at the time, and I hope my sister will forgive me. ”
Ling Xiao's eyes widened in surprise: "It turns out that there is still this layer in it." How did your aunt teach her, but a veil can make a big deal. The purses and handkerchiefs I made when I was a girl were popular, almost everyone in the family had one, and some people didn't like to be ugly. ”
Yan Xiuyu listened, stomped his feet viciously, his brows turned red with anger, and said, "Sister Yan, you wait, I'll go find the person who stole things." After saying that, he trotted and went to the front yard again.
Ling Xiao sneered: "That little thief is also very good, he stole it to the head of the Yanwang Mansion, I really don't know how he died." He turned his head and comforted Yan Qingge: "It's not in the way." If your aunt really wants to do such a thing, it's strange if your father doesn't smoke her to death. ”
Yan Qingge smiled bitterly in his heart, it was your father who was so good to his daughter. That confused father in my family will only go to my aunt.
After the song was played, Le Yi personally confirmed that this song was "Guangling San", and the whole courtyard was boiling. Le Yi generously said that this score was obtained from the Yan family, and it was a gift from his niece to himself, and he had asked the Yan family, if the Yan family allowed it, he would naturally transcribe it and scatter it to everyone at the banquet today.
Yan Songnian was looked at by many people with strange eyes for a morning because of the car rollover incident that occurred in front of his house yesterday, and he hid in the corner with his waist stiff, eager to disappear. Brother-in-law can be a man, with his face glowing, he never knew that there was a "Guangling San" music score in the family library, and now it is a white face, of course, he promised to pass it on.
Lord Yan excitedly pulled Le Yi to speak, feeling that he had really found a good teacher for his younger brother, and he couldn't wait to be born twenty years later and study with Le Yi with his younger brother.
A dark figure rushed over and crashed straight into Lord Yan, it was Yan Xiuyu. His face was full of anger, like an angry little leopard, his fists were clenched, and his face was flushed: "Brother, there are thieves in our family!" ”
Prince Yan, who was stunned by this, was stunned, and asked him, "What trouble did you cause again?" ”
"Yesterday, the sister of the Yan family borrowed me a handkerchief to wipe her face, I washed it and wanted to return it, but I was stolen by someone just now." Yan Xiuyu stomped his feet all over the ground, waving his hands and feet: "Hurry up and find out that thief, let me hack them to death." ”
On weekdays, Yan Xiuyu is often ruthless when he encounters trouble, and he has such a temper in his mother's womb, and he can't change it. But today is different, Lord Yan peeked at Le Yi, for fear that Le Yi would be dissatisfied with Yan Xiuyu because of this.
Le Yi cared about Yan Qingge, he didn't care so much, grabbed Yan Xiuyu, and asked him, "How do you know that the handkerchief was stolen by someone." ”
"Of course I do. Someone wanted to harm the sister of the Yan family, so he instructed someone to steal the veil. Yan Xiuyu didn't have a head or brain, others didn't understand, but Le Yi understood, this must have been done by the Aunt Hai that Yan Qingge said.
Le Yi was very unhappy in his heart, and took a few steps to Yan Songnian, who was surrounded by a group of people, and pulled him back, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, and said, "Brother-in-law, let's talk to the side." ”
Yan Songnian was in a daze and pulled him to a clean side room. It didn't take long for the Yan family to walk in with a group of people. Among them were Zhishu, Dali, and the coachman who drove the carriage.
As soon as he entered the door, Yan Xiuyu shouted: "Say, who stole the master's things." ”
Zhishu and Dali didn't know how they were exposed, so they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground with a snap and kowtowed to a few people above: "The little one really doesn't know what the little prince said, how dare the little one dare to steal the little prince's things." ”
"And said no. You two were sneaking around me just now, and you bumped into me. Yan Xiuyu stepped forward and gave Dali a kick, kicking him and lying on the ground holding his stomach and unable to get up.
When Yan Qingge came in, she saw this scene, she saw that there were no outsiders in the house, took out a ginger handkerchief from her cuffs, wiped her eyes, tears rolled down, and when she came to Yan Songnian, she grabbed the hem of his robe and cried sadly: "Father, uncle, you have to be the master for me." ”
"This ...... This...... Someone stole something from Little Lord Yan, what does it have to do with you. Yan Songnian didn't know what was going on, his heart was in turmoil, staring at the Zhishu and Dali below, and his head was big for a while.
Several Yanwang Mansion generals carried Zhishu and Dali up like chickens, and within a few clicks, they searched out a handkerchief from Zhishu's arms, pale yellow fine linen material, embroidered with kittens and butterflies, and at first glance knew that it was something used by girls from aristocratic families. Knowing where there can be such a veil, Yan Xiuyu said that he stole something, and now he was confirmed.
Yan Songnian felt that this handkerchief was slightly familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. Yan Qingge's body trembled, and he pointed to the handkerchief and said, "Hurry up and burn it, it was touched by that filthy person, I don't want to see it again." ”
Yan Xiuyu felt sorry for the handkerchief, but what Yan Qingge said made sense, so he still asked someone to light a candle and burn the handkerchief on the spot.
Only then did Yan Songnian realize that it was Zhishu and Dali who stole his daughter's things. This made his face unbearable, and he said angrily: "You two cheap things, you dare to steal the eldest lady's things today." ”
Zhishu knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and after a while, he took the blood in his head and carried this matter on himself, saying that he was greedy for money and wanted to steal the handkerchief and go out to sell it for money.
Zhishu's whole family is working in Zhuangzi, Aunt Hai is holding the lives of his whole family, and she also sent his younger brother to Hai's pharmacy as an apprentice, he dares to tell half the truth today, and Ming'er's family can only wait for death.
Yan Songnian had just gained three points of face because of the piano score, and before he had time to show off, he was defeated by Zhishu and Dali. He didn't doubt him, and scolded Zhishu and Dali with a wooden face, and he didn't see how far-fetched Zhishu's reason was.
Fortunately, for the sake of face and for the sake of not destroying this apprenticeship banquet, Yanwang Mansion specially called everyone to the empty room for interrogation, and the guests outside didn't know what was going on in this house, but Yan Songnian still wanted to dig a hole in the ground.
Le Yi and Lord Yan both knew that there was something strange about stealing handkerchiefs, but in the end, it was someone else's family matter, so it was not easy to intervene, but they looked at Yan Songnian with disdain in their eyes.
Yan Wang Ye is even more suspicious that a few years ago, Yan Songnian was released as an official, and at such a level, how did he try cases for others, but he was afraid that his subordinates had no less unjust and wrong cases.
The banquet held by King Yan's Mansion will naturally not be bad.
The delicacies on the table are all over the place, the jade cup is full of brewing, and occasionally there are singers and singers to help the fun, and for a time they are staggered and happy. But Yan Songnian was worried, he didn't know the taste of food, and he didn't even know what was under the chopsticks.
In addition, his brother-in-law sneered and toasted him from time to time, and the little prince Yan couldn't move and frowned at him, making him miserable for a while, drinking a lot of stuffy wine, and the drunk didn't know who was drunk.
The banquet dispersed, and the Yanwang Mansion asked someone to stuff Yan Songnian into the carriage, and in the carriage, there were two Zhishu and Dali tied up with five flowers.
Yanwang's Mansion sent another carriage full of soft Luo fragrant satin to carry Yan Qingge and Ruyi, and specially sent the best coachman in the mansion to drive her back to the house.
Princess Yan thoughtfully gave Yan Qingge a box to suppress her shock, and when she opened it, she saw that there was a warm white jade lotus hairpin and a dozen gorgeous new handkerchiefs.
When parting, Ling Xiao was reluctant to make an appointment to call Yan Qingge out to play after a few days, and Yan Qingge should come down with a smile.
