Chapter 53

The Nine Emperor Princes looked at Ah Yan deeply, and he said, "You...... I'll come back to you another day. ”

When he had said this, he jumped and disappeared.

Ah Yan blinked, looked east and west, and sure enough, it was gone. It seems that he flew to the beam of the house just now?

So she raised her head and looked at the beams, but she didn't see any clue after looking at it.

The big shopkeeper was waiting outside, and she hurriedly invited the big shopkeeper in, and asked the big shopkeeper in detail about the situation when her cousin Armand was coming.

Ah Yan heard that her cousin would be able to come over tomorrow, so she was naturally happy, but unfortunately she had already run out today, but she didn't dare to run out again tomorrow, so she could only take the opportunity to meet her cousin when she went to the house to look for her brother, and then she could talk in detail about the southern tea garden.

was chatting with the big shopkeeper, Xiqing came back, she looked at Ah Yan's expression carefully, and saw that her cheeks were still red, so she couldn't help but smile: "Girl, although I didn't report the news, but I don't need Xiqing to report the news." ”

Ah Yan remembered the scene of Shicai and the Nine Emperors meeting in private, his face became more and more red, and he couldn't help but glance at Xiqing: "Hmph, when I can use you, I don't know where you have gone, and I am not a shadow!"

Xiqing thought of Shicai, and suddenly felt a little helpless: "Girl, you don't know, I just arrived at the No. 1 teahouse of Tianzi, and I met the master Xiao last time." That adult, who is really brainless, even said that he wanted to apologize to me, said that he had prepared a little wine, and said that he had prepared a generous gift for me. I thought this man was really terrible, so I wanted to run back quickly, and who knew that he would run after me! Later, he dragged me out into the street, and who wanted to buy me a gift to apologize!"

Xiqing sighed: "I have never lost this face in my life, I was dragged to the street by him, and others don't know what eyes to look at!"

Ah Yan imagined that scene, and Xiqing, who was full of shame and indignation, was forced by a big man to buy a gift for him, and couldn't help laughing: "Later, what did he give you?"

When Xiqing heard this, she almost gritted her teeth: "He said that the meat of Lao Wang's butcher's shop on front street was delicious, so he asked Lao Wang's butcher's shop to chop ten catties of meat for me!"

Ah Yan was stunned when he heard this: "Ten catties of meat?"

Xiqing said angrily: "I'm simply ...... I just don't know what to say. Girl, you say, this person is also the head of the palace guard, why did he give birth to a pig brain?"

Ah Yan covered his lips and laughed: "This person is actually quite interesting. And I think he seems to be interested in you, another day the girl will be the matchmaker herself, let him take a hundred catties of meat as a dowry, and marry you off quickly!"

When Xiqing heard this, her face flushed with shame, and she didn't care about the difference between master and servant, so she stepped forward and pulled Ah Yan and said, "Girl, don't talk nonsense! If I really marry such a person, I won't be angry to death every day!"

Seeing that Xiqing was really shy and angry, Ah Yan didn't say anything at the moment.

After Xiqing's shame and anger, she slowly calmed down, but she looked at Ah Yan carefully: "Girl, what did the Nine Emperor Princes say just now?"

Ah Yan was asked by Xiqing, and her face immediately turned slightly red, she was in a very good mood at this time, as if she had eaten the legendary ginseng fruit, and she was indescribably comfortable and comfortable.

She knew that from today onwards, she no longer had to be anxious, no longer had to be cautious, the reddish ears of that young man, and the piece of beautiful jade that she handed over to her hand, as long as she grasped it well, it was enough to ensure that her life was smooth, and she would never have to live as humble as dust in her previous life.

Thinking of this, Ah Yan's face was full of smiles, and she looked at Xiqing and said, "I didn't say anything, but I didn't worry a lot about it from now on." ”

On the second day, his cousin Cheng Mang came to Jingguo Mansion to visit, and according to his previous practice, he still went to meet the ancestor first, and sent a lot of cherished specialties. The old ancestor now feels that his status is different from before, so naturally he didn't see it, so he only ordered it to go down, saying that it was a good life to entertain the young master.

Seeing this, Cheng Mang was also expected, so he came to the third room to meet the third wife.

A few years have passed, and now this young master Cheng Mang is becoming more and more talented, and he is also personable. He has traveled from south to north, has seen a lot of things, and has the elegant demeanor of a generation of giant businessmen in his conversation.

When the third wife saw it, she liked it very much, and sighed that this Armand was out of breath, and took Armand's hand, like something.

Here, Amang took the opportunity to ask his cousin Ah Yanlai, and the third wife couldn't help but sigh when she thought of Ah Yan: "The boss is not small, and he was married last year, but this family matter has never been decided." I searched for two of them, and I thought it was good, but in the end it didn't work out. If it drags on like this, I won't have the face to see your uncle. ”

When Armand heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "My cousin has a world-class attitude, and there is naturally no need to worry about this marriage, and I will always find a husband with a good character and family." ”

The third lady smiled and sighed: "I hope so, but it's useless to be anxious now." A few days ago, I went to see the old ancestor and talked about it, but the old ancestor pushed it to the eldest lady, and I asked about the eldest lady, and the eldest lady pushed it to the eldest young grandmother. Helpless, I went to the young grandmother to ask, and the young grandmother was also embarrassed, saying that she didn't see the right one for a while, and now she is busy, so she has to wait and see. ”

Thinking of this, the third lady felt sorry for Ah Yan in her heart, to put it mildly, the fourth girl was three years younger than her Ah Yan, and now she was already planning to settle the matter between her and the Nine Emperor Princes!

Ah Mang smiled lightly, but there was a dark color in his eyes: "Auntie, this is also the mansion to choose a good family for Ah Yan, ordinary people naturally can't see it." ”

The third lady shook her head: "That's not what I said. Now I think about it, now that Ah Song is also out, don't care what happens in the future, now he is a four-rank strong general. Even if he will never be promoted in the future, he will get the position of a fourth-grade general, and I am also satisfied. As for your cousin, she has always been arrogant, and although she seems to have an idea, I feel sorry for her, and I don't want her to marry into a wealthy family, so I don't have to let her suffer my sin. I thought, even if it is an ordinary family, as long as she can be favored by her in-laws and respected by her husband, I will be satisfied. ”

Hearing this, Amang raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "This still depends on my cousin's own meaning, and my aunt also said that my cousin has always had an idea." ”

The third wife thought about it: "This one is too." It's just that I look at Ah Yan, she doesn't know what she's busy with every day, but she hasn't taken this marriage event to heart, and the family affairs that were supposed to be certain a few days ago are so yellow, and I haven't seen her sad. ”

Armand smiled, but didn't reply.

Gu Song came back for a while, and as soon as he came in, he was so excited that he stepped forward to meet Gu Song.

Speaking of which, because in the past year or two, Gu Song has traveled from south to north, but he has never been to Yanjing City, and the two brothers have not seen each other for more than a year.

Now that Ah Song saw Gu Song at first sight, he nodded again and again: "Ah Song is getting taller and taller now, and his face is also majestic, and he really looks like a general." ”

Gu Song smiled: "Each other, each other!"

The two brothers were talking here, and the topic of marriage was again.

Gu Song hasn't decided on a marriage yet, and the third wife is also anxious, but I don't know how many people like Gu Song, she thinks that she can pick it slowly after a while.

So the third lady asked about Amang's family, and Amang was slightly stunned and smiled bitterly: "Pengmen family, where is there a girl who is willing to marry, I am not in a hurry now." Although my father urged, I only said that I had been running around in the past few years, for fear of delaying other girls. ”

The third lady said with a serious face: "Ah Mang, you are two years older than Ah Song, and you should really worry about it, when you were your father's age, you could help sell things in the shop." Besides, my Cheng family in the northwest was originally a huge businessman and a wealthy family, although he didn't dare to climb the Houmen family, but he was also famous in the northwest, and ordinary people didn't marry the girl if they didn't get on the pole!"

Gu Song felt upset when he heard about this family matter, so he hurriedly interrupted his mother's words and said, "Mother, you rest, since Brother Armand is here, I will quickly take him around, and save him from being depressed after listening to this trouble!"

When the third lady heard this, she smiled and smacked Gu Song's face: "You bastard, when I don't know, this is because I am verbose." ”

Looking at her nephew Armang, she smiled and said, "In this case, you let Ah Song take you around, I have already ordered to go down to the stove room, add a few more dishes, and eat a good meal in the evening." ”

At that moment, Gu Song pulled Armang out of the main house, and went straight to the courtyard, where some flowers and plants are now planted, and at this time, butterflies are flying, and it looks good.

Gu Song whispered to Armang: "My sister was looking forward to you yesterday, and she is now waiting for you in the pavilion across the courtyard!"

When Armand heard this, his face was hot, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, the tea plantations in the south will be able to produce tea next year, and I originally wanted to discuss this matter with her." ”

Gu Song raised his sword eyebrows and smiled: "Your business, I feel that one head and two are big when I hear it." Okay, you talk about it first, and I'll go and practice boxing. ”

This made Armand a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything, just acquiesced in Gu Song's behavior.

After a while, Gu Song walked alone in the cross-courtyard flowers, and walked straight to the pavilion, but saw a woman in the pavilion, accompanied by a maid Xiqing. I saw that this woman was gently curled and graceful, but it wasn't his cousin Ah Yan!

In fact, since Ayan was very young, it was beautiful and beautiful, but at that time it was small, and now he has grown into a goose yellow embroidered butterfly flower dress, which is really like a light and soft butterfly in the flowers.

As if hearing the sound of footsteps, Ah Yan raised his eyes and looked over, his slender eyelashes were raised, and his eyes were full of water.

Gu Song's heart was slightly suffocated, at this moment, he seemed to have a butterfly flickering its wings and landing on his heart.

In fact, from the early years, he knew that his thoughts were wrong, but he couldn't control it, so he deliberately didn't want to come to Yanjing City in the past few years.

Ah Yan saw his cousin and smiled: "Cousin Ah Song, you are here." I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Armand smiled bitterly, stepped forward, and said with a deliberate smile: "What you are waiting for must not be me, but the news of the tea garden." ”

Ah Yan was pierced with his thoughts, and he didn't hide it at the moment, and said with a smile: "Cousin Amang, how is the tea garden now, and whether it can produce tea smoothly next year, you can tell me quickly!"

Nodding slightly, Armand now brought the scene of the tea garden one by one, it turns out that tea trees can be picked two or three years after planting, but the yield in the first two or three years is very low, and it is not until the fourth year that it can be picked on a large scale. Next year will be the fourth year of this tea plantation, and it will be ready for large-scale harvesting.

Armand said with a smile: "The tea in the first two years is only the first year, it is too little." In the second year, I ordered someone to fry it and sell it in a local tea house, as you know, there is a lot of tea produced in the south, and the southerners are also very picky about the fragrance of this tea, but after it is fried, it is very good. I didn't bring that tea to Yanjing at that time, because I thought that although the tea fragrance was excellent, I always felt that this frying method did not give full play to the aroma of the tea itself. So after the beginning of spring this year, I began to look for roasted tea masters everywhere, and I really found one. This was originally the descendant of the King of Jinsheng Tea, and he was extremely good at stir-frying some tea and cooking tea with one hand. With this presence, our tea house is like a tiger with wings. ”

Hearing this, Ah Yan was naturally extremely pleased, looked at his cousin for a while, and sighed: "Cousin, we have opened this tea house all these years, and you have always been running around outside. Although I want to help you, I have no choice but to hide in this deep mansion compound. The matter of this tea house really depends on you. ”

Hearing this, Ah Mang paused, stared at Ah Yan and said: "You and my brother and sister, why do you need to see the outside like this, besides, if you hadn't found a tea guide at the beginning, our tea house would not have opened, I'm afraid I would have given up a long time ago." ”

Ah Yan thought of the tea lead, but he thought of the Nine Emperor Princes, and pursed his lips and smiled at the moment.

But when she smiled, Armand on the side felt that the smile was sparkling, and his breath suddenly became a little short.

He hurriedly turned his face away and said in a depressed voice: "Ah Yan, is there anything else? If not, I'll go first?"

Ah Yan was slightly flustered, thinking that she had read the various reports written by the owner of the tea garden in the past few days, and there were many things to ask him, why did he just say that he wanted to leave?

Thinking for a while, he might have something urgent, so he had to say, "If my cousin has something, I'll talk about it another day." ”

Armand nodded and said stiffly: "Cousin, I wish you a good match as soon as possible." ”

After saying that, it was like running for his life and ran away.

Ah Yan was suddenly the second monk couldn't figure it out, what's wrong with my cousin?

Seeing this, Xiqing behind her covered her lips and smiled, but did not speak.

Maybe it's because of what the Nine Emperor Princes said last time, no matter how hard the mansion tries to get married to the Nine Emperor Princes and the fourth sister, she also looks at it without moving.

The eldest lady and the ancestor in the mansion tried their best, and in the end, they almost half-forced Princess Ning to find a way to talk to King Ning.

I heard that King Ning agreed, so I went to tell the Nine Emperor Princes, who knew that the Nine Emperor Princes turned their faces on the spot and said coldly: "I don't like it." ”

In a word, all the expectations of Princess Ning were broken, and the hopes of the ancestor and the eldest wife were completely shattered.

Just when the ancestor was disheartened, the house hurriedly decided the marriage of the five girls, who was the son-in-law of the Wang Guanglu family, although it was only a sister-in-law of the fourth grade, but the Wang family was a master of poetry and books, and it was quite rooted in the Luonan generation, and ordinary people could not afford to offend. Such a person is willing to marry a concubine of the Guogong Mansion, which can be regarded as the face of the relationship between the Guogong Mansion and King Ning.

The fifth girl heard that this family affair was decided, but she liked it very much, she was born so strong. Since my aunt was sent to Zhuangzi, she has been even more depressed and unhappy, and her temperament is much more irritable than before. Now no matter what, this marriage finally occupies a name. I heard that she married the eldest son of the family, and I am afraid that she will be in charge of the middle feed after she goes. If she can really take control, then she will take her aunt from Zhuangzi, and no one can say a word, right?

With this idea, the five girls were excited, and in the face of Ah Yan, whose marriage had not yet been settled, the tail almost went to the sky, and she made a mockery of Ah Yan.

"Third sister, if your marriage is not settled, I am afraid that if it continues like this, it will be delayed alive!"

Ah Yan himself has already thought about it, but he really can't remember what happened to this Wang Guanglu family, so naturally he doesn't know what kind of ending this fifth girl will marry Wang Guanglu in the future. However, in the face of the sarcasm of the five girls, she treated it indifferently:

"Xiqing, you hurry up and take my pair of red gold arm wrapping gold and give it to the fifth sister to press the bottom of the box, so that she won't be laughed at when she arrives at her mother-in-law's house and the dowry is too little, won't she be looked down upon at that time?"

When the fifth girl heard this, her face changed, she turned red with anger, and she was about to have a seizure when she stared at Ah Yan.

Over there, Xiqing said sharply: "Girl, your arm-wrapped gold, I threw it away a few days ago, just because you said that the style of the arm-wrapped gold is too backward, and it will be laughed at when you wear it." ”

Ah Yan listened, raised his eyebrows and said: "Look at my memory, I actually forgot it, then take out a box of pearls from last time and give it to the fifth girl!"

The fifth girl snorted coldly, and her eyes erupted with fire: "Who is rare about your thing, keep it for you to press the box yourself!"

The four girls looked at all this faintly from the side.

Ever since her marriage to the Nine Emperor Princes was not consummated, she has become reticent throughout herself.

glanced at Ah Yan with a smile between her eyebrows, her eyes showed a look of contempt, thinking that this person was really brainless, the boss was not small, and the marriage had not yet been decided, but she was not in a hurry.

Ah Yan looked at the four girls with a smile, she naturally saw all the thoughts of the four girls.

But at this time, she is really not in a hurry.

Since the Nine Emperors can hand over the jade pendant to himself, he is young, so what, just gamble on it.

The prince of this dynasty married, the youngest was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the eldest was sixteen or seventeen years old.

Although there will be a lot of turmoil in the DPRK and China in the future, I am afraid that this matter will not be too smooth, but if she waits any longer, how long can she wait, it will only be two or three years.

If the Nine Emperor Princes hadn't forgotten what he said to himself in the tea house when he was sixteen years old, then he would have won the bet.

won the bet, and since then he has been in the limelight for half his life, and he has also protected his brother from soaring.

If she loses the bet, she will either marry an ordinary family or never marry for the rest of her life.

Now that the business of the tea house is booming, she will not worry about relying on it in the future. In fact, the dynasty is not without a daughter family who does not marry in that life, as long as there are enough family assets and the protection of parents and brothers, it is happy to live by yourself, and it also saves the pain of entanglement with many women in the back house of her husband and mother-in-law.

So the day slowly slipped through his fingertips while Ayan waited.

During these days of waiting, Ayan also kept an eye on the movements of the court.

Sure enough, in the autumn of this year, the prince of this dynasty was angry because of some things when the Son of Heaven went out hunting in the autumn, so he deposed the prince. The prince was unwilling to be deposed, and he couldn't fight for it, so he rebelled.

This vigorous event was later written in the history books, and there were only a few strokes. However, Shen Congjia later mentioned to Ah Yan, saying that the prince should have drugged his diet at that time, trying to make the emperor die of disease while hunting, but the Nine Emperor Princes at that time exposed this conspiracy.

After the matter was exposed, the prince was unwilling, so he rebelled.

Regardless of the truth, this prince is indeed a rebel.

As soon as the crown prince rebelled, the emperor's road to the four princes was more than half successful.

The next thing is that the elderly emperor sent troops to suppress the prince, but the prince entangled his mother clan and many supporters, and even confronted the emperor with mercenaries in Huaiyang.

The emperor was angry and sent heavy troops to rehabilitate, including the three princes, the four princes, and the nine princes.

This emperor may have been a little abnormal in his heart after his own son tried to murder him. He began to suspect all the people around him, so he sent out all the sons who might be suspicious, and asked them to kill the deposed prince.

Then he sent men from behind to see which son was faithful to him and which was disagreeable.

Later, when Shen Congjia was analyzing this matter, he sneered and said: "Ah Yan, you say that this idea is not stupid, but the prince of the emperor's family, which one is not like being the emperor, if you want to be the emperor, can you still have no dissent?"

When he said this, he was lying on the bed, and there was no one on the left or right.

Ah Yan was ignorant at the time, and at that time she felt that these were very far away from her.

At that time, she also felt that the distant Nine Emperor Princes were a heaven-like existence.

But Ah Yan in this life, at this time, desperately recalled what Shen Congjia had said.

In fact, Shen Congjia is really a very sharp-minded person, and he has a set of rules in government affairs.

Ah Yan frowned, she thought for a while, and finally suddenly felt a shock in her heart.

This Shen Congjia, if he is also reborn, then he should know the final outcome of this battle for the heir!

Now that he knows, why has he never heard of him attaching himself to the Nine Emperor Princes and the Four Princes?

Ah Yan closed his eyes, and sweat slowly seeped out of his palms.

At this time, her elder brother Gu Song had already followed the Nine Emperor Princes to Huaiyang, if Shen Congjia really had the memories of his previous life, and he stood on the opposite side of the Nine Emperor Princes, then things might really be different!

After all, a person who has been through everything, no one knows what he will do with this!

Ah Yan's heart suddenly became uneasy, and she patted her head hatefully: "It's really a pig brain, why didn't you think of it before!"

It's no wonder that since she knew that Shen Congjia might have the memories of her previous life, and she was so mixed up by the Nine Emperor Princes, she really hated that Shen Congjia to the extreme, and she didn't even want to mention it!

The last memory of her previous life, every time she thought about it, she would recall herself struggling in pain alone in the backyard at that time, so she couldn't help but shiver.

She held her face and thought sadly: What should I do?
