Yan Peng took the gift list and glanced at it, and saw that the first row on the gift list was a scroll of Wu Daozi's bird and beast pictures, a calligraphy and painting by Ouyang Xun, a set of celadon tea sets from the Yue kiln, a pair of white porcelain plum bottles from the Ding kiln, and a set of four treasures from the study room from Huizhou, and finally the twenty-four ends of the ceremony suitable for girls.

After reading it, Yan Peng silently estimated that the value of this gift list should be about a thousand taels of silver, and the Lu family can be regarded as showing some sincerity.

So, after a little consideration, Yan Peng changed his tone, "Child, no matter what, you should accept these things, the emperor also said in the court today, the Lu family apologized and admitted the mistake, let's expose it, don't mention this matter in the future, therefore, these things should be the compensation given to you by the Lu family, don't do it in vain." ”

Ma Shi saw that her husband had finally turned a corner, and said with a smile: "That's not it, Yan'er, even the emperor has spoken, and if we don't reveal it, we won't give the emperor a son." As the old saying goes, if you can't be an in-law, don't be an enemy, after all, this matter is not what the Lu family wants, and no one wants this kind of accident to happen. Child, you just listen to your uncle and aunt's advice, take these things, and this matter is over. ”

"Auntie's words are not right, she has not publicly apologized to me at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet to admit her mistake, and my marriage contract with the Lu family has not been officially dissolved, so this matter cannot be concluded for the time being. But rest assured, uncle and aunt, when the marriage contract is officially dissolved, I promise not to mention this matter again. After Yan Yan finished speaking, he stuffed things to Yan Peng.

"You mean these things have to be returned?" Ma's face was a little ugly.

"Whether to retreat or not depends on the meaning of the aunt, if the aunt doesn't want to retreat, these things will be regarded as compensation from the Lu family to the Yan Mansion, provided that the aunt has to explain to the Lu family that I didn't accept these things." Yan Yan's words were also a little rushed.

"Okay, madam, this matter will be discussed later, and the birthday of the Queen Mother is only a few days away." Yan Peng saw his wife's displeasure and Yan Yan's dislike, and was afraid that the two of them would be twisted, so he grabbed Ma and persuaded him.

Yan Yan didn't want to really quarrel with the Ma family, after all, the other party was an elder, and there was a word "filial piety" pressed against him, "Auntie, I was a little too radical just now, but I am not rushing at you, but at the Lu family, this matter is related to my innocence and the reputation of the Yan family, and I will never back down." But I am by no means a unforgiving person, I promise, as long as Mrs. Lu admits her mistake in public, I will break the marriage contract with the Lu family, and we will have nothing to do with each other from now on. ”

"It's okay, it's just that I have wronged my Yan'er." Yan Peng stretched out his hand and touched Yan Yan's head.

He was moved by Yan Yan's sentence about "the reputation of the Yan family", the child has suffered so many grievances, and what he still thinks about is the reputation of the Yan family, but what did he, an uncle, do?

Also, in the court today, even Meng Nuo stood up to question Lu Duan's behavior, but he, as an uncle, just watched from the sidelines, and only later did he follow the other party after he came back to his senses.

Not to mention that the prince has done all this for Yan Yan in the past two days is much stronger than him, who is an uncle.

Of course, there is also a reason here, the identity of the prince is different, but it is precisely because of his different identity that it is particularly valuable for him to be able to do this step for Yan Yan.

In short, at this moment, Yan Peng was ashamed.

After sending Yan Peng and Ma Shi away, Yan Yan didn't have the heart to take a nap anymore, but sat in front of the embroidery frame, and the work was not finished yet.

In the next few days, Yan Peng and Ma did not appear in Shenxingju again, and Yan Yu was also grounded, but Yan Tong would come over once a day as usual, and saw that Yan Yan was mostly sitting in front of the embroidery frame to catch up with the embroidery work, she stayed to talk about Yan Yu's poems and sketches and complaints or something and left.

Yan Yan also went to the room every morning and evening to say hello as usual, most of the time he could only see Ma, not Yan Peng, and Ma didn't mention the topic of the Lu family every day, nor did he mention the topic of home or marriage.

As a result, Yan Yan lived a relatively peaceful life.

Early this morning, that is, the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, Ma didn't wait for Yan Yan to go to the room to ask for peace, and first brought Sanqi and Forsythia to see Yan Yan.

At that time, Yan Yan was grooming, Qinghe combed a double screw bun for her, because she was going to celebrate her birthday, she inserted a pair of purple and gold butterflies in the middle of her bun, and the clothes on her body were also changed to a gorgeous peach, and her face was also slightly rubbed with rouge gouache.

"Got it all done?" Ma Shi entered the door and saw Yan Yan sitting in front of the dresser, changed into new clothes for going out, and asked with a smile.

"Okay, Aunt Lao has been waiting for a long time, and she came here in person, are your sisters all right?" Yan Yan stood up.

When Ma Shi heard this, his eyes quickly turned red.

"Auntie, this is?" Yan Yan was slightly surprised, and at the same time a little uneasy, thinking that something big had happened.

"Child, my aunt has a few words to say to you." After Ma finished speaking, he glanced at Forsythia and Sanqi, and the two put down the things in their hands and hurriedly walked out.

Seeing this, Qinghe hurriedly put down the work in his hand and went out.

"Child, that's the case, auntie, please go and persuade your uncle."

It turned out that Ma thought about it again and again, and still wanted to take Yan Yu into the palace with him, for two reasons, one was that he was afraid of the Queen Mother's taboo, after all, it was the Queen Mother's Qianqiu, and the Queen Mother would definitely be unhappy if Yan Yu was sick; The second is that after Yan Yan's accident, there were too many people staring at the Yan family outside, and if Yan Yu didn't appear, he might find out something.

But who knew that Ma and Yan Peng discussed for a night, but Yan Peng didn't agree, because every year there are entertainment programs at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and the so-called entertainment programs are nothing more than talent shows, sometimes singing and dancing, sometimes piano skills, sometimes poetry and painting, and so on.

And Yan Yu just took the leader of the Clothes Festival, so she is very likely to become the target of everyone's jokes or attention, in case the Queen Mother or these wives say that they want Yan Yu to compose poems and paintings on the spot, what should Yan Yu do?

Could it be that Yan Yan will help her cheat in full view of the audience?

Rather than this, it is better to let her find a reason to hide, this is a foolproof way.

But Ma doesn't think so.

The daughter is so old, and she is about to die, if she doesn't go to these wives to show her face at this time, what should she do with the child's relatives?

You must know that after Yan Yan's accident, don't look at the prince tossing the Lu family enough, but the reputation of the Yan Mansion must not be compared with the past.

Not to mention, Yan Yan is still going to be a nun, and there may be some movement at that time, so that Yan Yu's family affairs will inevitably be affected.

Therefore, Ma wanted to bring Yan Yu to the Queen Mother to have a good impression, so that the Queen Mother could remember that Yan Yan was not the only girl in the Yan family, and there was also Yan Yu who was about to die.
