Chapter 37 A mountain is higher than a mountain
As soon as Yan Qingzhi finished washing under Qingluan's service, she saw that there was an extra person in the house, who was her cousin Yan and the eldest daughter of Meifu's big house.
Mei Yan is only half a year old when she grows Yan Qingzhi, her figure is already exquisite, and the whole person is a little taller than Yan Qingzhi, a little less immature than a girl.
The weather in May can already wear a thin shirt, today Mei Yan wore a set of plum red thin shirt, embroidered with plum blossoms with silver thread, but it is the same as her name, and the whole person looks full of vitality.
Mei Yan walked into the house, and when she saw Yan Qingzhi freshening up, she couldn't help but feel sour, "Sister, I scratched my heart and lungs when I received your letter, I wanted to come to see you and ask for an understanding, but I didn't know that you were sleeping soundly." ”
"Although I promised to hide this for you, you have to tell me that you are ugly, don't try to fool me, otherwise I will tell Qingling."
Yan Qingzhi is most afraid of her brother, so naturally she will not give Mei Yan a chance to sue, but it is also impossible for her to tell the truth.
"My sister really has something unspeakable, sister should not ask, knowing too much is not a good thing for you."
The more Yan Qingzhi said this, the more Mei Yan became interested in this matter, and vowed to ask for a result.
"You've tried so hard to hide it, but you have a sweetheart?"
But Yan Qingzhi is a lady in her heart, and she doesn't participate in the banquet of the ladies of the family, except for emotional matters, she really can't think of any other reason.
It's just that her sister doesn't go out, and where did she meet someone, and then she met her eyes, she was really worried, for fear that she would be deceived by men's rhetoric.
Yan Qingzhi really admires her cousin's imagination, where does she look like a sweetheart?
"Cousin, this joke can't be made, my sister is still counting on being able to marry a wishful husband."
Mei Yan only felt that Yan Qingzhi was trying to cover up, and she didn't believe her words at all.
"I don't believe what you say, you are so secretive, how can it be an ordinary thing, since your temperament has changed greatly that year, you haven't asked me for help for a long time."
Her cousin is already smart, so naturally she is not so easily persuaded, but Yan Qingzhi never thought of confessing her power at this time, and she can't confess.
Although the Yan family only has her father Yan Qing as an official in the court, and he is still a civil official with no real power, the Yan family is a big family that has gone through several dynasties, and its power is intertwined.
Coupled with some things she inadvertently knew in her previous life, the Yan Mansion was feared by the royal family, and it was also for this reason that the Yan family did not enter the office over the years.
When she herself didn't have enough strength to protect Yan Mansion, she wouldn't let herself be easily exposed to others, and Yan Mansion couldn't return to the public's field of vision at this time.
So Yan Qingzhi planned to plan the plan, and she painted the cake left and right, and as for what she wanted to paint, she also had the final say.
"Then my cousin is my sweetheart."
Mei Yan does not doubt him, "Tell my cousin, which family's son is it, and what is his character?" ”
"Sister, don't ask, my sister is just unrequited love, and people look down on me."
"I was also uncomfortable yesterday, so I was out for a walk, and I came back late, and I didn't want to alarm my father and brother to send someone out to look for me."
"My sister must help my sister cover up the past, such ugly things, the less people know, the better."
Yan Qingzhi can be regarded as slim, although she is not a stunning beauty, but she can afford the word beauty.
"Whose son is so visionless, he dares to look down on you, I think his eyes are not very good, sister, if I meet him, I will have to teach him a good lesson."
Mei Yan didn't expect it to be like this, in the end, it was her sister who she had protected since she was a child, how could she let others look down on her like this.
"Sister doesn't need to say it anymore, just treat me as confused, let it go in the past, since he doesn't look down on me, even if I am pestered, it is not interesting."
Yan Qingzhi suddenly turned into a pear blossom with rain, Mei Yan was most afraid of her tears, looking at Yan Qingzhi's appearance, I was afraid that she was really interested in that person, and it would not be good to stimulate him again.
"Who is the son, you can tell me to listen to it, so that I can rest assured, you are still young, I don't know that those people have a lot of fancy intestines, maybe I want to play with you."
Yan Qingzhi looked at Mei Yan with a pair of wet eyes, "Sister, you mean he fell in love with me?" ”
Yan Qingzhi said this, but Mei Yan didn't know how to answer, she had never had a sweetheart, she had never been married, she had no dealings with men, and she didn't know much about men's minds.
The most contact she has with is her own father and brother and brother, and the comforting words just now are just a lot of books and learned from above.
"I don't know if he likes you or not, I just know that you little girl hates to get married!"
Yan Qingzhi was very happy to see that her cousin had changed the topic, so she continued to change the topic quietly, "My cousin is used to making fun of me!" I'm afraid my aunt is also marrying you, is there a candidate in my sister's heart? ”
As soon as I talked about this plum smoke, I had a headache, and my brother hadn't even gotten married, so my mother was trying to marry her, completely ignoring her wishes.
Mei Yan looked at the yard, the flowers had already gone, only the newly grown branches and buds remained, full of green, but Mei Yan's eyes were empty, and the whole person was depressed.
"Qingzhi, marriage has always been the order of my parents, my wishes are not important at all, it is more for the interests of the family, do you understand?"
Whether it is in a big family, or a dignitary, the family is the most important, and the daughter's family is an important step to maintain the relationship between the families.
I have to say that this is the sadness of being a woman, but I have been educated like this since I was a child, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with this, or even worse.
It was as if he was not marrying a daughter, but a tool, a tool to protect the interests of the family for a short time.
Yan Qingzhi raised her hand and patted her cousin's back, "I believe that my aunt is not that kind of person, she probably wants you to live better, if you don't want to, I guess she won't force you." ”
Mei Yan tried to make herself smile.
"It's easy to say, in front of interests, who knows, they gave birth to me and raised me, so it should be regarded as repaying their kindness for giving birth and raising, don't worry, according to my nature, I won't let myself suffer after all."
The two of them were talking in the house, and before they knew it, it was lunchtime.
Originally, Yan Qingzhi planned to let the small kitchen cook two more dishes, but who knew that the housekeeper came to inform her father that she heard that her cousin was coming, and she would eat in his courtyard today.
Yan Qingzhi knew that her father had ulterior motives, but she had to go.
