Chapter 491, Conditions
Yan Yan's surprise was not trivial, it was not that she didn't want to see Zhou Wan, but it was really inconvenient at this time, she was afraid that Zhou Wan would collide with Ma Shi and Yan Tong, and this kind of scene was very embarrassing when she thought about it.
Therefore, Yan Yan hurriedly greeted him, at that time, Zhou Wan had already entered the Yimen under the guidance of her mother-in-law, and was walking towards the courtyard gate, she also came to give Yan Yan a Laba ceremony, and at the same time, she also wanted to talk to Yan Yan.
In fact, she had wanted to come to Mingyuan for a long time, but she couldn't find a suitable excuse, so it was easy to wait for a Laba Festival, and she took something and went into the city.
However, before coming to see Yan Yan, she had already been to the Zhu family and the Lu family, and naturally she had also seen the Zhu family, and it was because she saw it that she was full of suspicions.
Therefore, she also came to Yan Yan to help her solve her doubts.
Because her mother-in-law didn't tell Zhou Wan that there were guests at home, Zhou Wan didn't think much about it, and when she saw that Yan Yan was only wearing a half-arm to greet her, she hurriedly trotted a few steps to her, "Sister Yan'er, I'm not an outsider, why did you come so far to pick me up, don't freeze when you turn around." ”
The other Zhou Wan didn't know, but she knew that Yan Yansheng and Lu Jin were also injured, so she hadn't conceived a child yet.
"Sister Wan'er, it's really unfortunate, my family has guests today, Ah Zhang's academy is on vacation, they all came to me, and my second and third aunts will be there in a while, and a few sisters have gone out shopping. I'm sorry, I, I... Yan Yan couldn't say anything anymore, for fear that the other party would be embarrassed.
After all, this matter is currently only the private thoughts of the Zhu family and Lu Ming, and Zhou Wan must not know that it has spread, and it is very likely to reach the ears of the Queen Mother, and it may even affect her father's recovery.
However, Zhou Wan is worthy of being a smart person in ice and snow, especially this year, when she is used to seeing other people's eyes, her reaction is even more sensitive, so she quickly caught the meaning of Yan Yan's words.
"Sister, you know everything?" Zhou Wan spit out these words with difficulty.
It's not that I want to hide it from Yan Yan, but it's hard to say it.
Yan Yan nodded, "You agreed?" ”
Zhou Wan lowered her head and raised her head after a while, "I didn't say I agreed, my mother persuaded me several times, but I don't know what to do, on the one hand, it is my father's future and the privileged life of my younger brothers and sisters, on the other hand, it is my own life, if I don't agree, I feel ashamed of my mother's years of nurturing grace, if I agree, I am afraid that I will not be able to pass my own level." Sister Yan'er, actually, I came to you today to ask you to help me solve my doubts. I... ”
Before Zhou Wan finished speaking, Yan Bin ran out holding Yan Yan's cloak.
It was Qingmiao who saw that Yan Yan came out to pick up people but hadn't entered the house for so long, thinking of giving Yan Yan a cloak, Yan Bin took over the job, and he also wanted to see what the situation was.
He still has an impression of Zhou Wan, that time Zhou Wan and the second sister quarreled fiercely in the back garden, and later even he was hung up, and His Royal Highness Sixth scolded him.
However, the wormwood rice cake made by Zhou Wan tasted good, which made him reminisce a few times, and also made His Royal Highness the Sixth Havoc talk about it a few times.
"Sister Zhou, why don't you go into the house with my eldest sister?" Yan Bin saw the two of them standing outside the door talking, glanced at them suspiciously, and at the same time gave Yan Yan the cloak, and Yan Yan hurriedly put it on.
As soon as Zhou Wan heard Yan Bin's words, she knew that he didn't know anything, so she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "No, I have something else, you guys have fun." ”
"I'll send you out." Yan Yan didn't keep any guests, but she wanted to ask what conditions the Zhu family had promised.
"Huh?" Yan Bin sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't ask anything more, but politely said goodbye to Zhou Wan.
Here, Yan Yan accompanied Zhou Wan to go out, but unfortunately, as soon as the two passed through the hall, they met Yan Tong and Yan Cai.
Yan Tong was unhappy when she saw Zhou Wan, and muttered a few sentences, but she didn't dare to embarrass Zhou Wan openly, because Yan Yan deliberately emphasized, "Miss Zhou is here to give me Laba gifts." ”
Rao is like this, Yan Tong also gave Zhou Wan several contemptuous looks, Zhou Wan had the heart to explain a few words, but when she saw that there were a few younger girls, she couldn't say it.
In the end, Yan Yan ordered Yan Tong to take Yan Cai and a few people to find Yan Zhang, Yan Tong was reluctant to leave, and before leaving, he didn't forget to glance at Zhou Wan.
After their backs came out of the hall, Zhou Wan smiled bitterly and apologized to Yan Yan: "I'm sorry, Sister Yan'er, I'm causing you trouble again." ”
"That's it, people live for a lifetime, how can there be few things that don't go well? I've had less trouble in the past two years? Yan Yan said as she accompanied Zhou Wan out, and quickly turned the topic to the things she cared about.
learned that the Zhu family not only agreed to intercede for Zhou's father, but also promised to send a house in the city, a shop and a Zhuangzi to the Zhou family, so that even if Zhou Wan's father's recovery was not completed, the Zhou family had these, and there was no problem at all in the follow-up life.
Yan Yan calculated it for a while, and removed the major event of Zhou Wan's father's recovery and the expenses required to dredge up the relationship, but the three things of the house, the shop and the Zhuangzi were at least worth thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels of silver, which was quite generous for a concubine.
And with Zhou Wan's current conditions, even if she wants to really marry a wife, she is afraid that she will not be able to get so much dowry, unless she finds a merchant.
Because when Yan Yan got married, the dowry given by the Lu family was only two shops in the grange, with two taels of silver, and Yan Yan was the wife, not to mention, the Lu family was also the head of the four princes, and this family affair was still a matchmaker made by the royal family.
"You have to have this condition, right? Why? Yan Yan really couldn't figure it out.
Even if Lu Ming really likes Zhou Wan a little, but he is still a patient lying on the kang and unable to move, why is Zhu so eager to take Zhou Wan into the door?
A concubine, is it worth so much thought?
Or is this mother and son the person Zhou Wan in the picture?
"I want to know, too. But now the situation seems to have changed a little, just now I went to the Lu family to give gifts, the second aunt said that my father's affairs are a bit eyebrow-raising, but did not mention anything else, only said that let me help my mother take care of the housework, I also know that the second aunt has transferred a Zhuangzi close to your family to my mother's name, it seems that there are more than 500 acres of land. ”
After Zhou Wan finished speaking, she let out a long breath faintly, she also knew that the Zhu family was cutting off her back road, a Zhuangzi was worth at least five thousand taels of silver, what did her family take for this favor?
Also, I just listened to Yan Yan's meaning, but I am afraid that the entire capital will know that she is going to marry Lu Ming as a concubine, does she have any other way out?
Because even if she doesn't get married, who will dare to marry her in the future? Who will marry her?
