Chapter 14: How to choose

Besides, Ma and Yan Peng walked out of the gate of Shen Xingju, Ma asked what the emperor meant, Yan Peng took out the piece of paper written by Lu You, and roughly learned the conversation of a few people again.

Ma carefully read the guarantee written by Lu You, and pondered for a moment, "Actually, the concubine thinks that it is not a bad thing for Yan'er to marry the Lu family's eldest man. That day, Mrs. Lu came to the door and mentioned this matter, saying that the Lu family was not intentional, this child was the first time to go out to participate in this kind of party, probably uncomfortable, unable to fit in, so he walked out by himself, and somehow entered the library in a daze, Mrs. Lu said that this child usually does not play with others at home, and likes to drill into the study when he has nothing to do. According to me, this is fate, this is fate. ”

"No, we can't send Yan'er to the Lu family based on her words, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" Yan Peng flatly refused.

Ma Shi was not annoyed, "Okay, okay, you can do whatever you say." The concubine is just a matter of facts, and the Lu family is not bad except that he can't speak. If you want to have one, you have to look like you, look at this good hand, presumably your knowledge will not be bad. ”

"What's the use of that? Didn't you see him cowering, why did my Yan family's carefully raised daughter cheapen him? After Yan Peng finished speaking, he habitually brushed his sleeves and left.

Seeing that her husband was really angry, Ma Shi didn't continue the topic, and hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up with him and talked about something else, this time discussing which nunnery to send Yan Yan to.

The Yan family has its own family temple and nunnery, although the place is not small, but it is generally used to temporarily store the coffin, Yan Yan must repair it in advance or build a nunnery for her.

However, Ma also put forward another suggestion, the Qinglian Nunnery on Qingfeng Mountain outside the city has good incense, the scale is also large, and the abbot inside is also kind, and there is no less contact with the female dependents of these big families, therefore, she feels that Yan Yan will not lose a good place to send there, and it will definitely be able to spread the word to the ears of those big families, and it will only be good for Yan Yan and the reputation of the Yan family.

"You discuss this matter with Yan'er and ask her what she means, although the family nunnery is broken, it is not difficult to build a nunnery for her, but Qinglian Nunnery is also good at Qinglian Nunnery, the incense is prosperous and popular, and the yin qi is not too heavy, and besides, it is not a bad thing to learn the way of cultivation from the masters, and maybe she will not be so extreme in doing things in the future." Yan Peng didn't think about fame or not.

To put it mildly, the reputation of the Yan family fell to the ground as early as when Lu You bumped into Yan Yan changing clothes, at that time, so many ladies and ladies of the family were present, and they witnessed the whole process with their own eyes, and it didn't take a day for rumors to fly all over the sky, what kind of reputation did you talk about at this time, wouldn't it be self-deception?

"It's okay, I'll talk to her another day when the child can speak, but there is one thing that the concubine has to discuss with the master first... As soon as Ma's words came to this, he saw Yan Yu and Yan Tong sisters coming over, so they hurriedly stopped talking and asked instead, "Have you two gone to see the eldest sister?" ”

"I've seen it, the eldest sister seems to be a little unhappy when she sees us, and she is absent-minded when she asks, and then the eldest brother came to deliver a letter, saying that the Lu family is coming, and the third sister and I came out with the eldest brother, mainly because I was afraid that the eldest brother would say the wrong thing, so I asked him a few words." Yan Yu replied in a proper manner.

"What did the Lu family say?" Ma glanced at her husband and then turned to her two daughters.

"I came to mourn and plead guilty, and when I learned that my father had entered the palace, they also left quickly." Yan Yu also glanced at his father after speaking, "Dad, mother, what do you say in the palace?" ”

"Girl's family, don't ask so much, be obedient, I have time to accompany your eldest sister more these days, and also, you two will make a few plain clothes for your eldest sister, and then make a few pairs of plain shoes, remember to use linen for the shoes." Ma took two steps forward and touched the heads of his two daughters lovingly.

Yan Peng just nodded approvingly when he heard this, and was about to speak, when he saw Yan Tong raise his little face and ask, "Ah, mother, isn't the eldest sister dead?" Could it be that she still doesn't want to live? ”

"What is dead or alive? Your eldest sister is going to practice in the nunnery for two years, so remember, you can't say this kind of thing in front of your eldest sister anymore. Yan Peng reprimanded Yan Tong.

"Anri? The eldest sister wants to become a nun? Even Yan Yu was not calm now, and looked at his mother.

"It's the queen mother's meaning, saying that she will wait for two years to pass before she finds a good family." Ma explained.

"The eldest sister is so pitiful, can't the Queen Mother stop the Lu family from withdrawing from her family?" Yan Tong pursed his lips.

"Okay, don't ask you and ask again, this kind of thing is not something you should worry about, be obedient, do what you have to do." Ma Shi was troubled for a day, and he was also a little out of spirit.

Seeing this, Yan Yu obediently took Yan Tong's hand, "Daddy, you are tired, let's rest, my third sister and I will go to see the eldest sister again." ”

Ma Shi nodded, looking at the back of the two children leaving, his eyes suddenly turned red, "Master, our Yu'er has a few months to go, and this child's family affairs... ”

Ma did not continue to say the rest of the sentence.

Yan Peng naturally understood his wife's hint and sighed, "The family is unfortunate, and if it doesn't work, it can only be delayed for two years." ”

Ma Shi sighed when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.

Let's talk about Yan Yan, after sending Yan Peng and Ma away, she lay down on the kang again, this will not be sleepy, but closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, she was thinking about the intentions of the Meng family, and also thinking about the meaning of the Queen Mother and the Ma family, and of course, the Lu family.

According to her own intentions, she naturally wanted to become a monk, so she agreed to the queen mother and aunt, but why did the Meng family stop her?

Yan Yan analyzed for a long time and didn't analyze the ugliness of the person, and suddenly remembered the dream that the original owner had trusted, the law of this dynasty stipulates that a woman who is not married cannot have private property in her name, so her mother's dowry and the dowry promised by her grandmother are placed in her uncle's name.

Does this mean that if she became a monk, all the family property might end up in her uncle's possession?

You must know that a large part of this is the dowry given by the Meng family to Yan Yan's mother, and the Meng family naturally does not want this money to be cheaper for outsiders.

Family property, freedom, Yan Yan began to be entangled.

If she wants to have a property, she has to get married.

If she wants to be free, she must be prepared to endure hardship and poverty.

Of course, it's not that she can't earn money to support herself with her own hands, but the problem is, if she doesn't marry, she can't have private property in her name, and if she doesn't have her own private property, how can she make money?

Without money, how can she go to the rivers and lakes?

Also, she is a weak woman who is powerless, will the rivers and lakes have her way of survival?
