Chapter 52 Entrustment
Yan Yan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she saw that Ma came to her to ask her to intercede with her uncle.
To be honest, although she doesn't like Yan Yu's character or her personality, it is undeniable that Yan Tong, Yan Zhang and Yan Bin are pure in nature, and they have a good relationship with the original owner, and Yan Peng, who is an uncle, has basically treated the original owner as her own over the years, so Yan Yan doesn't care about Yan Yu's cautions.
After all, this is ancient times, and it is important to pay attention to both prosperity and loss, otherwise the original owner would not hang himself as soon as something happens, and to put it bluntly, he is still afraid of affecting the reputation of the entire Yan family.
Based on these reasons, Yan Yan didn't really want Yan Yu to attend this birthday banquet, in case something really happened to her and she was disgraced, Yan Tong's relatives would be affected in the future.
But the problem is that in the eyes of a mother, she can't see the shortcomings of her own children, so for so many years, she has never suspected that Yan Yu's embroideries and poems are not from her own hands, she only knows that her daughter is also a very talented person, so she will want to show her face in front of the crown princess.
Although it backfired, Ma still refused to face the reality, or rather, the temptation to tell his daughter a good family affair was obviously more troublesome than that of his daughter's exposure.
"Auntie, it's not good for me to persuade my uncle about this matter, I'm a small child, and I don't have much weight to speak, so it's better for you to go, auntie." Yan Yan refused.
"Yan'er, it's hard for your uncle to listen to other people's persuasion when he is stubborn, and he can still listen to your words. Obedient, good boy, my aunt is not only doing this for your second sister, but also for you and your third sister, you think, today Mrs. Lu will apologize to you in public and admit her mistakes, this matter will definitely be angry to our Yan family, the Lu family is the head of the four princes, hereditary replacement, most of those princely families have to act according to his eyes, and the aunt is worried that the family affairs of the three of you sisters will be difficult, so I want to take a few of you out to show your face. Ma Shi took Yan Yan's hand and said.
The other party has said it to this extent, what else can Yan Yan say?
"Okay, I promised my aunt, but there is one thing, I will become a monk after the matter with the Lu family is over, and my aunt should worry more about the second sister's family affairs." Yan Yan was also a little curious about whether Yan Yu played any role in this scandal.
"Alas, it's still our Yan'er who is sensible, come, child, take a look at the jewelry that my aunt gave you, you three sisters have a set, do you like it?" After Ma finished speaking, he opened a small box brought by the maid, which contained a set of golden pure gold jewelry, collars, gold locks, bracelets, gold hairpins, and step shakes, and some of them were inlaid with pearls the size of little fingers.
"Auntie, I have a lot of jewelry here, and this is..."
"How can a girl have too much jewelry? Obedient, one set for the three of you, and the new clothes that my aunt ordered the needlework room to drive out, do you see if it fits? By the way, I heard that you only prepared one embroidery for the old lady dowager, and you don't need your aunt to find two things for you from the warehouse? Ma said as he opened another bag, which contained two new sets of brightly colored dresses.
"Where did you get this fabric?" Yan Yan remembered that Mrs. Lu sent a lot of clothes as a gift last time, so she was a little suspicious that this material was sent by the Lu family.
"Don't worry, this is the last time the prince and the princess came to send, they are all good materials from the south, these patterns are more festive, just for the three of you sisters to make two bodies, obedient, put it on, let the queen mother and the princess see each other and like to be happy." Ma Shi said again and again, while trying on Yan Yan by himself.
Seeing this, Yan Yan had no choice but to receive Ma's kindness.
About a quarter of an hour later, Yan Yan put on the new clothes and new jewelry brought by Ma, and then followed Ma out of the door, who knew that the two had just walked to the second gate, Yan Tong chased after him, saying that Yan Yu asked Ma to go over and have something to say.
Yan Yan saw this and took Qinghe Qingmiao to the upper room, because it was the birthday of the Queen Mother, the court meeting on this day was dispersed early, and Yan Peng also came back early, planning to follow Ma and others into the palace to congratulate him later.
In the past, the rule was that the queen mother first accepted the worship of civil and military officials in the Wuying Palace, and then returned to the Cining Palace to accept the worship of the younger generations and close relatives of the clansmen, and then met with these court wives.
Before, because of my grandmother, every year on the Queen Mother's birthday, Yan Yan's family would enter the palace earlier, and they were the Queen Mother's maiden relatives, and the Yun family's relatives and friends in the capital went to congratulate together.
No, when Yan Yan entered the upper room, Yan Peng had already changed into the clothes he was going out to meet guests, which was a jujube red straight shirt, with a black wide-brimmed belt tied in the middle, on which a circle of auspicious cloud patterns was embroidered with gold and silver threads, and a piece of mutton fat jade the size of a baby's fist was hung in front of his waist.
Seeing that Yan Yan didn't speak after entering the door and just looked at himself, Yan Peng stepped forward and took the initiative to pat Yan Yan's head, "What are you looking at?" ”
"Uncle seems to be a few years younger in this dress, and I wonder if my father is alive, will he be as young and handsome as my uncle?"
Yan Peng sighed when he heard this, "Your father is much better than your uncle if he wants to live, he has been smart since he was a child, and he learns everything quickly, otherwise he can lead soldiers to fight at such a young age?" Pity... ”
Speaking of the back, Yan Peng was also a little embarrassed, he thought that if his brother was still alive, the Lu family would never dare to despise Yan Yan so much.
"Uncle, happy day, we don't talk about this. But I do have one thing I want to discuss with my uncle, the second sister is not young, she participates in the birthday banquet every year, but I don't go this year, I'm afraid that those good things will inquire in many ways, our family is mixed, and if you can't keep it, someone will be greedy for small profits or something, so according to my niece's foolish opinion, my uncle might as well fulfill the second sister, uncle rest assured, our sisters must be together, and I will weigh what to do. Yan Yan begged.
"Your aunt asked you to be a lobbyist, right? I knew she wasn't one to give up easily. Well, since you said so, my uncle entrusted these two younger sisters to you. Yan Peng quickly guessed that it was the Ma family who was behind the ghost, and in order to prevent Yan Yan from being embarrassed, he had to deal with this matter.
In fact, he was also thinking about this issue repeatedly, and felt that the excuse of being sick was really not appropriate, after all, it was the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and being sick was definitely a taboo thing, and it would definitely cause the Queen Mother's reaction.
In addition, the crown prince and the crown princess already knew that the fan was ghostwritten by Yan Yan, and at this time, Yan Yu used the excuse of illness, wouldn't it be clear that he was weak-hearted?
Of course, Yan Peng also relented because he believed that Yan Yan would not let Yan Yu make a fool of himself.
