Chapter 26
Yan Jingshu was lying on the bed, her eyes widened, and she let the mother-in-law around her give her medicine and change her clothes, and she didn't even move. She didn't know what was wrong with her. In the past, when her mother said that she would not be allowed to marry Brother Rong, although she was lost in her heart, she was never so sad. How could you do such a thing today? But when she thought that Yan Guo would not allow this family affair, a wave of sadness suddenly hit her heart, and the tears in the corners of her eyes couldn't be stopped.
When Yan Sheng and the eldest lady entered the door, they saw such a scene. Yan Jingshu has nothing else, that is, no matter how difficult and painful things are encountered from childhood to adulthood, she will never shed a single tear! Yan Sheng and his wife had never seen Yan Jingshu's eyes red from crying.
But now, Yan Jingshu was lying there, like a soulless walking corpse, her eyes were red from crying, and the tears were flowing down line by line, and she couldn't stop it.
"Shu'er!" The eldest lady didn't care much, so she threw herself on the side of the bed, grabbed Yan Jingshu's hand, and didn't know what to do.
Yan Jingshu turned her head, looked at the eldest lady, and frowned: "Mother...... I'm so sad...... My heart hurts, like a pinprick in my heart. ”
The eldest lady turned her head to look at Yan Sheng, as if pleading: "Master......"
Yan Sheng's face twitched slightly, flicked his sleeves, turned his head and walked out. Yan Jingshu is so big, it is the first time to show such a little daughter posture. It's not that he doesn't love this daughter, it's just that this marriage may kill their Yan family! He still has younger brothers and sisters below him, and so many collateral relatives, he can't put the Yan family in danger.
Yan Guogong saw Yan Sheng's complicated face when he walked over, and he knew that Yan Jingshu was really serious! Among all his children and grandchildren, Yan Jingshu is the most loved by him. Although he didn't see Yan Jingshu's appearance with his own eyes, he could guess a thing or two. The most untouchable thing in my daughter's family is that Fang heart, Fang is heartbroken, it will kill someone!
"Father......" Yan Sheng called in an astringent voice, "If Shu'er really insists on marrying, then ask my father to expel Shu'er from the Yan family!" ”
Yan Guogong looked at him for a long time before asking, "Have you figured it out?" Shu'er is the young lady of our Yan Guo Mansion, and if she is expelled from the Yan family, Shu'er's reputation will be completely ruined. ”
Yan Sheng closed his eyes in pain and nodded vigorously: "Only in this way can I keep my Yan clan safe." ”
"Sir! Don't you, sir! The eldest lady stumbled in from outside the door, threw herself at Yan Sheng's feet, grabbed his clothes and shook her head, "Master! I beg you, concubine! Don't expel Shu'er from the Yan family! Please! ”
Yan Sheng frowned, and said ruthlessly: "Don't say it again!" I've made up my mind! This is Shu'er's own decision! I can't harm the Yan family because of her alone. ”
The eldest lady sat down on the ground in a daze, her eyes glazed over, and she had no idea. Yan Jingshu looks like that, I'm afraid that if she can't marry King De, she won't be able to think about it. But Yan Guogong and Yan Sheng are so decisive, didn't they force her Shu'er to death!
"That's it!" Yan Guogong suddenly spoke, "Eldest daughter-in-law, get up first!" There's room for manoeuvre in this matter. ”
"Grandpa Guo......" The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa Guo, please save Shu'er!" ”
Yan Guogong asked her to stand up first, and then said to Yan Sheng: "Over the years, the emperor has not said anything on the surface, but in fact, he is already very dissatisfied with our Yan family. The Yanguo Mansion has a heavy army, which has long aroused the emperor's jealousy. Some people even said that the Longtang soldiers only knew the Yan family generals, not the Tianzi Hall. Jie Luo was watching from the side, the emperor was just temporarily afraid and didn't dare to touch our Yanguo Mansion. The so-called rabbit dead dog cooking, but that's it. ”
"Then you mean that we are dignified and strict in the country's mansion, and we still have to rely on those Jieluo people to live?" Yan Sheng has been fighting with the Jieluo people for most of his life, and the one he hates the most in his life is the Jieluo people. Now Yan Guogong said this, which made it quite difficult for him to accept.
Yan Guogong nodded: "That's right." Without the enemy, the generals would not exist. You can accept it, or you can't accept it. That's just the way it is. Because of this, you are not as good as King De. ”
Yan Sheng paused, and then asked, "So father, what do you mean, hand over the military power?" ”
Yan Guogong nodded: "Yes, use military power in exchange for marriage." It's just that in this way, even if you get on King De's ship, it is absolutely impossible to get down. ”
Yan Sheng was silent, he didn't know whether to agree to this decision. Since ancient times, the battle for the throne has not been so easy to stand on. If you stand up, it will be called the work of the dragon, and at least it will protect the wealth of the Yan family for decades. But if you don't stand well...... The inheritance of the Yan clan is over.
"Take a long-term view." Yan Guogong got up and walked out, "With your understanding of King De, don't you still understand what I said?" With that, Yan Guogong left with his hands in his hands.
The eldest lady looked at Yan Sheng in a daze: "Master...... Grandpa Guo, this is ...... What do you mean? ”
Yan Sheng thought for a long time before he spoke: "If you don't stand on King De's ship, the emperor will not let go of our Yan family." ”
"That'...... The ......eldest lady was stunned, and there was a look of worry in her eyes. She's just an inner house woman, and she doesn't understand these things in politics. Suddenly, he heard that the emperor was going to attack the Yanguo Mansion, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Yan Sheng smiled at her: "Don't worry, we are responsible for these things outside." You have been calming Shu'er's emotions for the past few days. My father said that he would exchange military power for this marriage, and that would most likely be possible. ”
The eldest lady nodded: "Okay, the concubine knows." I have the business at home, don't worry! ”
Yan Sheng looked at the eldest lady's aging face, and only felt a little ashamed of her. She was also an innocent girl back then. still remembers the year she first got married, and the admiration in her eyes when she looked at him. In a blink of an eye, the girl of the year has become an eldest woman, although she takes care of the Yanguo Mansion every day, but that youthful vitality has sneaked away without knowing when.
"It's almost closed in recent years. King De is still facing the wind this time, so be careful when you interact with Beppu Lishang. Yan Sheng suddenly stretched out his hand, wanting to comb the broken sideburns of the eldest lady like he did when he was young, but found that the eldest lady's hair was combed in a mess, and the appearance of rules and regulations was no longer the same as it was back then.
So he felt even more guilty in his heart, withdrew his hand, and said, "When the New Year is over and the weather gets warmer, I will take you to live in the village outside the city for a few days." You haven't been out in years, have you? ”
The eldest lady rarely saw Yan Sheng like this, and couldn't help blushing: "It's all arranged by the master, and the concubine is ...... The concubine went to see Shu'er first. ”
Yan Sheng looked at the eldest lady's somewhat messy steps, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. A few years ago, he led the troops to fight, leaving the eldest lady alone at home to take care of affairs, and indeed neglected their mother and daughter. This time, it is better to take the opportunity to compensate them.
……
As soon as Hua Ruxue and the three of them entered the yard with large bags and small bags, the children inside hula suddenly surrounded them, and they were very excited.
"Don't even gather around here." Hua Jiumo was afraid that they would bump into Hua Ruxue in a careless manner, "Hurry up and help carry things." ”
Zhang Chengyong was also on the side to maintain order, and soon the things they bought back were classified and put away. The Chinese New Year is still a month away, and their time is really tight.
