Chapter 264: The Unexpected Visitor
Yan Yan didn't expect that Yan Zhang's simple words would cause several elders present to question Lu Ming.
However, doubts are doubts, and flattery must be flattered, after all, Lu Ming is the successor of the entire Zhenguo Mansion, and he is also the person they will rely on in the future, so this doubt can only be put in their hearts.
Yan Yan saw that the elders were busy talking to Lu Ming, so he took advantage of the situation to take Yan Zhang and Yan Bin out of the upper room and back to his courtyard.
Yan Yanfang had just stood for a long time and his legs and feet were a little sore, so the first thing he did when he returned to his house was to go to the kang, Qinghe saw Yan Zhang and Yan Bin coming, and was busy serving tea and pastries, so Yan Yan looked at the two brothers on the kang while drinking tea and eating snacks, and she asked some homework of the two of them without a match, asked about the situation at home, and asked Yan Tong what he was doing at home these days.
In fact, what Yan Yan wanted to know more was how much dowry the Yan family gave Yan Yu, how much was added to the palace, and whether the prince and they planned to come to marry tomorrow, but she couldn't ask.
It's not that I don't dare to ask, but I'm afraid that after the fact, the words will reach the ears of people who have a heart and cause unnecessary trouble.
Who knew that Yan Bin saw that Yan Yan's family had asked all of them, but he didn't ask Yan Yu, stuffed the cake in his hand into his mouth, and crawled to Yan Yan's side, "Eldest sister, are you really not with the second sister?" ”
Yan Yan touched his head and said jokingly: "Second brother, you used to promise the eldest sister to eat well, and when you grow up, you will beat that Lu Shizi, but now, do you still want to beat him?" ”
Yan Bin nodded heavily when he heard this, "Beat, he bullied the eldest sister, and made the eldest sister and the second sister become enemies, why didn't he beat him?" ”
"Have you been practicing well lately?" Yan Zhang asked.
He looked at Yan Bin's little face and seemed to be getting bigger again, and Fang Cai's topic was obviously too sensitive, so he also joked and diverted the conversation.
"Why didn't you practice well?" After speaking, Yan Bin stood up and made a direct gesture of punches and feet on the kang, dragging Lu You away when he saw this, for fear that he would touch Yan Yan.
And Yan Bin, who had taken the action, still sat next to Yan Yan, "Eldest sister, no matter whether you and the second sister are good or not, I will like you and protect you, you can rest assured, I am studying harder than before, and my husband has praised me several times recently, saying that I have improved in my words, and I have also improved in pairs and endorsements." ”
"It's true, the second brother is not very playful now, but unfortunately he is still as greedy as ever." Yan Zhang squeezed his eyebrows and smiled.
"Big brother, what are these words? Doesn't it take strength to study and practice, and how can you have strength if you don't eat enough? Yan Bin replied with puffed cheeks.
"Okay, our second brother is really sensible. The eldest sister waited for that day. Yan Yan pinched Yan Bin's fleshy cheek and smiled.
When a few people were talking and laughing, Qing Glaze reported outside, saying that Miss Five, Miss Six and Miss Zhou were here.
Yan Yan thought for a while, only to realize that it was Zhou Wan who also came.
So, Yan Yan instructed Lu You a few words, and he got off the kang alone to greet him, Yan Yan just lifted the door curtain to the porch, and saw Zhou Wan and Lu Ji Luhe standing in the middle of the courtyard and looking.
"It turned out that Sister Zhou and the fifth sister and sixth sister were here, why didn't they come in directly?" Yan Yan greeted with a smile, and at the same time he was a little surprised in his heart.
She can understand that Zhou Wan came to eat the wedding wine, but why is there any need to pull Lu Ji Luhe to see her?
"I wanted to go in, but the fifth sister said that the eldest cousin had just moved back, and I was afraid that it would be inconvenient, so we waited here for a while, and it was not cold anymore." After Zhou Wan finished speaking, the person also came to Yan Yan, and glanced at Yan Yan carefully, "The eldest cousin's complexion is really good." ”
Yan Yan touched her face, in addition to not being able to smell the bloody smell of raw fish during this time, she did not have obvious pregnancy reactions, on the contrary, she could eat and sleep, and there was nothing to worry about, so it was strange that she had a bad complexion? Even the face is rounded.
"I'm sorry, a few days ago, I was busy with some things, and I wanted to go to the house for a return visit, but because I was too busy, I had to send the steward to run for me, Ling Tang didn't blame me, right?" Yan Yan said as he led the people into the hall.
Naturally, this is polite.
However, Yan Yan originally planned to personally visit the big families who gave her housewarming gifts, but there were indeed a lot of things in those days, Lu Han delayed her for two days when she gave birth, and the Ma family came for another day, plus Yan Yan went to the Meng family and the Yun family again, and in those days, she was really anxious about the progress of Mingzhuang, so she had to send Qingbi and Qinghe to go for her.
It's just that Yan Yan is a little rude to do this, although those people also sent people here, but the other party is an elder, and she is a junior, so she will think about explaining.
"No, my mother also said that the eldest cousin was too polite, and originally planned to let me come to the door to thank her, but then I heard that the eldest cousin is very busy, and often goes out of the city to fiddle with Zhuangzi, and later I heard that the eldest cousin is pregnant, no, I heard that the eldest cousin is back, so I took the fifth sister and the sixth sister over to take a look." Zhou Wan said as she stepped forward to support Yan Yan.
Because Lu You and Yan Chang Yan Bin were in the east room, Yan Yan led people to the west study, which is also the place where Qinghe lived at night, Yan Yan took the lead on the kang first, and Lu Ji and Lu He also sat in front of the kang, but Zhou Wan stood in front of the north wall and looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, most of those calligraphy and paintings were Lu You's works, and there were also two works that Lu You bought when Yan Yan was newly married.
"I heard that the eldest cousin wrote a good handwriting, and he also painted, but today I saw that it was so, but why didn't I see the work of the eldest cousin?" Zhou Wan looked around and returned to the kang and sat next to Yan Yan.
"My sister-in-law's painting is better than my eldest brother's. I have seen a picture of plum blossoms painted by my sister-in-law, and there is an inscription poem on it, one of which is called 'I have no intention of fighting for spring, and I am jealous of the group.' Lu Ji said.
Because Yan Yan would also give them one or two things in the palace from time to time, ranging from the pile of yarn flowers, sachets, palace silk, brushes, and ink, to the new books on clothing and jewelry, etc., in addition to the various new pastries she experimented with, Lu Ji Luhe gradually accepted Yan Yan, so he spoke for Yan Yan.
And the painting in Lu Ji's mouth is actually not painted by Yan Yan, it was painted by the original owner, because the artistic conception of the plum blossoms on it is particularly good, the branches covered by heavy snow, from the snow out of the clusters of blooming plums, red and yellow, red, coquettish, yellow, bright, and a poem is inscribed next to it, "There are several plum branches in the corner, Ling Han opens alone, and he has no intention of fighting for spring, and he is jealous." (I won't be original, I'm ashamed, I'll borrow it)
Yan Yan liked the artistic conception expressed in this painting, and from this poem, it also reflected some of the original owner's mental journey over the years, so she specially hung this painting in her new house.
