Chapter 773, Explain the Aftermath
When the Queen Mother saw her only brother, she couldn't control her tears anymore, and stretched out her hand tremblingly, and Old Man Yun hurriedly stepped forward to hold it.
"Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, my eldest brother came to see you, but it happened that someone came from my hometown a few days ago and brought us some dried fruits, and I wanted to send them to you for a long time, but it snowed heavily for several days."
When Mrs. Yun heard this, she hurriedly put the small porcelain jar in her hand into her husband's hand, and Old Man Yun personally tore a small piece of dried mango and sent it to the Queen Mother's mouth, and the Queen Mother took it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.
After a while, the Queen Mother swallowed the dried fruit, "It's good today, I have eaten the seafood porridge in my hometown, and I have also eaten the dried mango in my hometown, big brother, what about my nephew?" ”
"On duty, do you miss him? I had someone call him? Li Cong asked.
Seeing the queen mother, she nodded, "Call Peng Fei together." ”
Li Cong glanced at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch turned around and went out.
Yan Yan knew that he had something to tell everyone.
Sure enough, as soon as she thought of this, the Queen Mother's eyes fell on her, and Yan Yan hurriedly took a few steps forward and knelt in front of the edge of the kang, holding the old man's outstretched hand.
"Child, I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances, and I am ashamed of your grandmother's trust, but I can't help it, I am for your Yan family...
Yan Yan took advantage of the other party's breath and hurriedly said: "Back to the Queen Mother, I don't feel wronged, you did this for my grandmother's entrustment, after all, my personal gains and losses are insignificant compared to the glory of the family, you can rest assured, my grandmother will definitely not blame you, on the contrary, she will be grateful to you, grateful to you for preserving the reputation of the Yan family for her." ”
"You are really a kind-hearted child, no wonder you have such a deep blessing. Child, I won't say anything superfluous, whether it's the Yan family or the royal family, I believe you will definitely reach out when you should reach out. What I want to say is another thing, I like the child Jin Niang very much, and I want her to marry Li Xi, but the royal rules are big, and the prince can't marry the daughter of the family, I mean, Li Xi is not a prince now, but the grandson of the emperor, so it's better to let the two of them settle the family affairs as soon as possible. ”
These words are a bit long, and the Queen Mother said a little hard, Yan Yan saw that she was busy and asked Aunt Rong to go and get some honey water.
"Yan'er, you haven't promised the Queen Mother yet?" The queen on the side reminded.
"I, I, the courtiers obey the decree of the Queen Mother." Yan Yan knelt down and thanked him.
In this situation, it is difficult for her to say yes or not.
Furthermore, these words came out of the queen mother's mouth today, presumably the emperor's intention, and the queen was obviously happy to see it happen, so Yan Yan didn't dare to refuse.
However, she really didn't expect Li Cong to take advantage of this loophole and take advantage of Li Xi's status as a prince to settle the family affairs first, maybe when he gets married, he will still be a grandson, so it is not a violation of Emperor Taizu's law.
Why didn't she think of that? She has been worried for so long, it turns out that people have already had a countermeasure, but why didn't she mention this matter sooner or later, and she had to mention it before the Queen Mother died?
Could it be that the emperor wanted to use the empress dowager to block the mouths of those civil and military officials?
When I was thinking about it secretly, I saw the Queen Mother say again: "Okay, this is one thing, and one more thing, Yu'er's two children are innocent, and now there is no one to teach, I am very relieved, if Lu Ming goes to the battlefield, I hope you can take them to your side to raise them for a few years, not to look at Yu'er's face, just to see the face of your grandmother and second uncle." ”
Yan Yan didn't answer immediately after hearing this.
This incident really embarrassed her, the child is innocent, but Lu Ming is still there, one day he will marry a wife, what is the matter with Yan Yan raising his daughter? This is definitely a thankless task, maybe she will be jealous of the child, thinking that she deprives others of the right to enjoy their father's love, if you hear some ill-intentioned incitement from others, thinking that Yan Yan killed their mother, then it is even more wrong.
When he was in distress, the eunuch led Yan Peng and Yun Ze in, Yan Peng obviously heard the words of the Queen Mother, and knelt down busily: "Back to the Queen Mother, the minister was about to return one thing to the Queen Mother, a few days ago Yan Zhang went to see Lu Yuan and Lu Yuan, and brought them back to the Yan family, Yan Zhang and I discussed, saying that they wanted to leave these two children in the Yan family, and then send them back after the year, saying that this is also the meaning of Yan Zhang's daughter-in-law, seeing that the two children are pitiful, and there is no parental love." ”
"Go back to the Queen Mother, let's do it, I can take them to study with Jin Niang during the day, and I will send them back to Yan's house at night, so that they will not delay their learning, and it can also make them more comfortable, after all, emotionally, it is difficult for them to accept me for a while." Yan Yan took a step back.
Yan Yan, who taught a few children to read and learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as take care of the middle food, could still do it, but she was really reluctant to let her raise them.
"It's okay, this arrangement is good, or Yan'er is smart." Li Cong praised.
The Queen Mother nodded, although this result did not meet her expectations, it was not satisfactory, because she still trusted Yan Yan's character, those two children can study with Yan Yan, this blessing is not small, and others will look up to it when choosing a son-in-law in the future, who doesn't know Yan Yan's talent and ability?
"It's okay, kid, I wronged you again." The Queen Mother also knew that her request was a bit excessive, but she couldn't help but think about the two children.
"Go back to the Queen Mother, don't be wronged." Yan Yan shook his head.
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she turned to Yan Peng and Yun Ze, "You two must be diligent when you are on errands in the future, ask the emperor more when you have doubts, and don't make your own opinions, let alone listen to the rumors outside and not believe the emperor; Also, to restrain the descendants of the Yun family, don't run rampant in the township in my name. In addition, the Yun family's genealogy should be bigger, and it is best to make the descendants of the Yun family can afford to study, I donated 10,000 yuan, and the eldest brother took it to buy some land, and the annual rent should be enough to support this clan. ”
The Queen Mother said a word, Yun's father and son and Yan Peng responded, and after hearing it, the three big men all whimpered and cried.
"Okay, don't cry, I just want to explain it first, I'm afraid that one day there will be many things and I will forget." The Queen Mother gasped and said.
Maybe Fang Cai's words were too long and tired, so she took the initiative to pick up people, saying that she wanted to sleep.
When everyone was about to leave, the Queen Mother suddenly said a word of hometown to Old Man Yun, and Yan Yan listened to it because the Queen Mother wanted to hear the meaning of the hometown tune.
Sure enough, after the Queen Mother finished speaking, Old Man Yun nodded, and also hummed a ballad in his hometown dialect, singing and singing, the Queen Mother closed her eyes, with a slight smile on her face, and Old Man Yun burst into tears.
