Chapter 65: The Tiger in the Way

Wen Yi was stunned, and said with some hesitation: "It's not a big deal...... After all, it is a happy event for relatives. My grandmother and I have already given gifts and congratulated me. "Reasoning, with the family background of the Nie family, even if Nie Heng is at the head of the two cases, he may not be able to enter the eyes of the long house, why did the second aunt suddenly ask about this matter? What's more, Nie Heng came to Guzhuang that day, and that day it happened to be Zi Ying's marriage, and the sedan chair went out from Xuanhe Hall, and the entire sixth room was very lively, how could the second aunt not hear about it? It is always a little confusing to delay until now.

Duan said with a smile: "That's not what I said, that's your maternal uncle's house, your cousin is in high school, just send a congratulatory gift, congratulations, isn't it too simple?" Where can you show the closeness of the two of you? After that, he put away his smile and sighed, "It's also my negligence, I was busy with your third aunt's family affairs in those days, but I heard people talk about it, and I didn't bother to congratulate your cousin." With the affection of the Gu Nie family, they are really too lazy. Just right. I'm finally free to give a congratulatory gift, which isn't too rude. I just don't know your cousin's age and preferences? ”

Wen Yi felt that she seemed to understand a little: "My cousin is five years older than me, and he will win the championship next year." As for preferences...... He is a good poet and a chess player, and he has some insight in family finance...... "She smiled, "Actually, my eldest cousin likes a lot of things, but he used to be in poor health and couldn't do many things, but now that he is in good health, he has to take care of studying for the imperial examination, so he doesn't have much spare time to fiddle with those things." The second aunt doesn't have to bother, I have already sent a big gift before, and the eldest cousin still has to work hard for this year's autumn season, he won't care about these vulgar gifts. ”

It's a pity that Duan's is very concerned: "How can this work?" After all, it's a courtesy...... According to you, your cousin is a talented and elegant person, and I heard that he is still a handsome son? That's a real rarity! I just don't know...... Are you already married? ”

Wen Yi lowered her head slightly, sat upright gently, with a little shyness on her face, and replied: "The eldest cousin has already been married, she is the niece daughter of her uncle, surnamed Qin, and she is also from a scholarly family. In the spring, I went to my uncle's house. I heard that the two families are discussing the marriage date. I even have a congratulatory gift. ”

Duan Shi was stunned, and reluctantly smiled: "It turns out that it has been decided?" When others told me about your cousin, they also said that he was not married yet, and he was not married, and that everyone who had a daughter in Pingyang City was inquiring about him! Didn't expect ......"

Wen Yi smiled embarrassedly: "It must have been decided a long time ago, but the eldest cousin still has to take the fame test, and his uncle and aunt are afraid that he will be distracted, so they don't make a big deal about it." The people in Pingyang City were afraid that they were going to be disappointed, and they didn't hide it from the second aunt that the eldest cousin entered the city to take the exam, and it was his father-in-law who accompanied him, and his nephew was a son-in-law, and it was a matter of fame and future, and the old man of the Qin family was afraid that he would look at it very closely. ”

The look of disappointment on Duan's face flashed, but after all, she was a person who had the city in her heart, and she quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile: "This has added another great joy!" When the wedding date is set, you have to tell the second aunt, and I will prepare a big gift to congratulate you. ”

Wen Yi bowed her head and looked submissive: "My niece and nephew have thanked the second aunt for my uncle, aunt and eldest cousin." I can't say I want to invite you to have a glass of water and wine at that time. ”

Duan nodded with a smile and took a sip of the tea bowl. At this time, the jade moth came in from outside and whispered a few words to Duan's family, Duan's face sank, and then he turned his head to Wen Yi and said, "You sit down for a while, and I'll come when I go." Wen Yi hurriedly said that she wanted to go back first and come back tomorrow, but Duan held her down with a smile: "Just a while, the second aunt will be back soon." She didn't allow her to object, so she went out with the jade moth.

Wen Yi was a little depressed, but Duan's had spoken, and she couldn't go away by herself, so she had to continue to sit still, wondering if Kerou had done something to make Duan's leave in a hurry. Dong Kui, who was standing behind her, had a strange face, and leaned into her ear and whispered, "Miss, is the second lady ...... Are you going to marry Miss Duan to Young Master Cousin? Wen Yi glanced at her, and Dong Lai immediately shut up, lowered his head and didn't speak.

There were only two of them left in the house, and the door was originally guarded by Yufei with a few second-class girls, but because the Duan family took them with them when they left, there was no one outside, and it was quiet. Wen Yi straightened her waist a little uncomfortably, her eyes couldn't help but look out the window, and she guessed what time it was.

Suddenly, the curtain of the door was lifted, and Kerou walked in, still wearing the pink dress, but her face was pale.

Wen Yi was a little surprised. However, knowing that Duan's departure was not because Kerou had committed a crime, he was also secretly relieved, and asked with a smile: "Sister Duan is here?" ”

Kerou walked over with straight eyes and said in a daze: "I heard that you have a cousin?" The girls all said...... My aunt wants to marry me to him, but I tell you, I won't agree to this family business! ”

Wen Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly gave Dong Lai a look, and the latter immediately went out to guard. Wen Yi stood up, saw that Kerou's face was blue, and her body was still trembling slightly, she couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly pulled her to the edge of the chair and sat down, and said softly: "Don't listen to people's nonsense, there's nothing." ”

Kerou laughed miserably: "Don't comfort me, I know...... My aunt thinks I've lost her face, and she can't wait to marry me off right away! She has been thinking about this matter since she heard that your cousin has won the case, but it is because the Liu family is still there, so she put it aside for the time being......" She smiled and looked straight at Wen Yi: "I tell you, I have already made up my mind and will never change it!" ”

Wen Yi saw that her words and actions were very different from the impression in her previous life. was puzzled in her heart, and when she heard this, she paused, and couldn't help but ask her, "You...... Is that really the person you like? Don't you know that with his family background, he will not easily marry the daughter of an ordinary family? Not to mention...... It's not like he's not without his own ideas......"

Kerou sneered: "So what?!" Wen Yi was stunned, and then saw her red eyes again, and tears dripped down: "I am also everyone's daughter...... The family is also a head and face in Cannes...... My grandfather used to be a guest at King Kang's Mansion! In terms of appearance and temperament, where am I worse than those eunuchs?! Why can they marry into a big family and enjoy endless glory and wealth in their lives, but I can only be a small family and an ordinary man? ! What do you say about the Liu family, is it not something I can think about, is it just me who thinks about it?! Why don't you see my aunt talking about others?! ”

Wen Yi wanted to comfort her a few words, but when she heard her words. His face was a little unsightly. The second aunt Duan wants to kiss her, and there is Nie Heng among the candidates, does her words imply that Nie Heng is also a "small family, an ordinary man"? !

Wen Yi coughed lightly and said lightly: "The second aunt has always been a kind person, and she is also fair, she brought you from Cannes, naturally she values you, with her in charge, it will come from a good life with you, don't think nonsense." She is an elder and has seen more than you, so she naturally has her reasons for what she does. ”

Kerou bit her lip, her face was a little disapproving, but she didn't say anything, just lowered her head and sobbed quietly. Wen Yi felt bored and wanted to persuade again, so she heard Dong Kui outside the door: "Miss, Miss Duan, Miss Duan's girl is here." ”

Before Wen Yi could say anything, Kerou immediately jumped up, rushed out of the door, dragged her girl and asked, "How is it?" Is there any news?! ”

The girl glanced at Hollyck warily, and whispered in Kerou's ear, whose face showed joy: "Good chestnut! If it is done, I will not do you any wrong! After that, he looked down at his sleeves and placket, straightened it, touched his hair again, pursed his lips, and said, "Let's go back to the room to freshen up and freshen up first!" "I'm leaving.

Wen Yi had some bad premonitions, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Sister Duan, where are you going?!" ”

Kerou stopped and looked back at her, her eyes wandering, as if she was thinking of an excuse. Li'er leaned close to her ear and said, "Miss, Young Master Liu has been drunk in the study for a while, and his little servant may be looking for him soon!" Kerou's expression was dazed, and she dropped a sentence: "I have something urgent." Less accompaniment. "I'm leaving.

Wen Yi vaguely heard the words that the girl Li'er said, and she was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't go!" After thinking about it carefully, he became even more angry, and took two steps forward, "Have you forgotten what the second aunt just ordered?!" Are you really dying?! He reprimanded Na Li'er again: "If you dare to do such a thing, I will report to my second aunt when I turn around and let her dispose of you!" ”

Li'er shivered and looked at Kerou with pleading eyes. Kerou gritted her teeth and said, "Ninth sister, it's none of your business!" You don't care! ”

Wen Yi sneered, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her vigorously into the house. Kerou was already thin and couldn't stand her, so she staggered into the house and was so anxious that she was about to cry: "What are you going to do?!" Li'er hurriedly followed, but was stopped by Tomlyho.

Wen Yi shook off her hand, stared at her sternly, and said, "Are you willing to destroy yourself?!" Cousin Liu is drunk, what are you going to do?! What if there's an errand and you can't see anyone yet?! I will never let you go today, you will die! ”

Kerou cried and scolded while crying: "What can I do?!" If I don't think about it, my aunt will force me to marry someone else! ”

Wen Yi was angry and pitiful: "How old are you?" She won't force you to get on the sedan chair tomorrow! What can't I say well between my aunts and nephews?! She'll always look out for you! If you don't want to, you can't use this method! Don't you know what kind of family the Liu family is?! If the third aunt doesn't admit it, won't you have only one way to die?! At that time, how could you be worthy of yourself and your second aunt?! ”

Kerou cried: "How can my aunt think about me?!" She only knows how to teach me all day long, and she knows that Wen Juan bullied me, but she always connived at it again and again, at most, she counted a few words from Wen Juan, and when did she go too far for me? ! She's just doing it for her own name! If I believe her, I don't know what happened when I was betrayed by her! ”

Wen Yi couldn't help but have a headache when she saw her stubbornness, thinking that Kerou in her memory was obviously a very gentle and obedient character, and she didn't dare to fight back when she was scolded in person, how did she become so stubborn?! Didn't she know enough about this friend in her previous life?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Kerou wiped away her tears, stared at her with both eyes, and choked up and asked, "Do you look down on me?" Think I'm shameless?! But let me tell you, I'm just like you, I don't have my father and mother, you still have a grandmother to rely on, and the family has money, but I can only rely on myself! Sit and wait for someone else to come and save you, arrange everything for yourself...... I'm not going to do that! Trusting others is the stupidest way to do it! An orphan girl like me, the only person I can trust in the world is myself! After that, he felt that he had already revealed the truth in front of Wen Yi anyway, so it was better to let it go, so he raised his head: "If you want to complain and tell my aunt what you heard, just go!" I must go to the study, it's a big deal to pull down my face and rely on the Liu family! Even if they refuse to let me marry Cousin Liu as a wife, I don't care about the second room! Anyway, if I have such a father, my reputation will have been bad a long time ago, so I don't believe it, the Liu family doesn't want a reputation for itself! "Then he turned around and left.

Wen Yi grabbed her, stared at her with both eyes, no matter how she struggled, she didn't let go, and after a while, she sighed and said, "You and I are both orphans, don't I understand the difficulties in your heart?" But your method is not good, it is really bad! You are young and don't know that people in this world are sinister, and you just say that people can only tolerate you for the sake of fame? Do you know that a person of the status of the third aunt has a way to make a person die silently, but he will not leave even the slightest trace?! ”

Kerou trembled, but was not convinced: "You don't want to scare me!" You are a beautiful lady, can you know who is sinister?! I've seen more than you do! ”

Wen Yi didn't care about her sarcasm, but said lightly: "It's not a shame that we want to plan for ourselves." I'm just sorry that you did it wrong. You are right, you were originally from everyone, although you have been temporarily defeated, and you are not comparable to the girls of small families, but if you think that it is enough for a big family to choose a daughter-in-law, it is enough to look at the appearance and temperament of the family, but it is a big mistake. The real family is a big family, and the family background is still second when choosing a daughter-in-law, the first thing is the conduct, as long as the character is good and there is a good name, it is the family background is slightly secondary, and it doesn't matter. When you go to the study, you lose your character first, no matter what the Liu family does to you, you have the upper hand, and you ...... Mere words are terrible enough to kill you! You think this is a green road, but you don't know that after you go up, you will die faster! ”

Kerou looked at her hesitantly, and said to herself: "Who said that I lost my character when I went?!" How do you know it's not Cousin Liu who has lost his character?! ”

Wen Yi shook her head and pointed to the gorgeous clothes on her body: "No matter who you are, as long as you look at this dress, you won't believe that you are a good daughter in the first place." ”

Kerou looked at her clothes and was puzzled: "What's wrong with the clothes?" This is Wen Juan's clothes, what's wrong? ”

Wen Yi sighed: "It's only been a few years since your parents died? During the day, when the second aunt asked you to come back and change your clothes, she told you that it was either moon white or ivory white, both of which were the colors of filial piety, but you wore this one...... Others couldn't take care of you for a while, so they didn't say anything, and when you went to the outer study, how do you justify, as the daughter of filial piety, but wearing bright clothes, ran to the outer study after dark to share a room with the man?! ”

Kerou was stunned and didn't say a word for a long time. Wen Yi heard the voices outside approaching, so she said, "You can go back to the room and think about it, don't come nonsense again." I know you're not close to me, but I won't hurt you for no reason! With that, he pushed her towards the door, just in time to collide with the Duan clan who entered the door. The latter frowned and glared at her, and Wen Yi smiled: "Sister Duan seems to want to admit her mistake to the second aunt, so her nephew persuaded her a few words. ”

Duan's face looked better, and he said lightly: "It's good for her to stay in the house obediently, but there is no need to admit her mistakes." "Say goodbye, and send Kerou back to the room. Kerou glanced back at Wen Yi before leaving, her eyes were a little complicated. Wen Yi just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Duan and Wen Yi sat down again, and said two more trivial things before saying: "Then the ** group of juniors crossed the river to play, I heard that you brought two jars of good wine, and your fifth sister and tenth sister came back and praised it, and your seventh brother also said that the good wine drunk at your sixth brother aroused my curiosity." All three of them boasted about the non-stop wine, what did it taste like? ”

Wen Yi said with a smile: "Among the two jars of wine, one jar is peach blossom wine, which was sent by the Nie family, and I don't know how they make it, but I love that wine is tender and red, as gorgeous as peach blossoms, but I don't like to drink, so I cheaper the fifth sister and the tenth sister." As for the jar of fruit wine, it was originally a family heirloom recipe from a family in Xishan Villa, but it was made from a few kinds of fresh fruits. But because the family has some background, they are not ordinary farmers, and they know some health preservation methods, so they add a few medicinal herbs to the wine, and eat them to strengthen their bodies. I saw that my grandmother loved to eat and that it was good for her old family's health, so I bought one or twenty jars from that family every six months. It's a pity that there is no rain this spring, this wine has not been made, and there are only a few jars left in the house that were brewed last autumn. ”

Duan just said it in passing, but he really didn't have any idea, so he also responded with a smile. The two gossiped a few words, and Wen Yi retired first on the grounds that it was getting late.

Walking out of the door, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, was the second aunt asking her to stay, was it really for such a trivial matter? It's clear that you just need to send a mother-in-law to Xuanhetang to say it, why do you want to keep her so solemnly?!

Or did the second aunt originally plan to say that it was not about this matter, but she changed her mind temporarily and turned to ask her for wine?

Wen Yi walked out with doubts, but before she reached the second gate, she encountered another roadblock. This time, it was Wen Hui who stopped her.

Wen Yi was disgusted in her heart, although her face was not revealed, her tone was not very good: "What's the matter with the sixth sister?" ”

Wen Hui seemed to have just cried, her eyes were still a little red, she stepped forward with an unkind face, stared at Dong Kui, and shouted, "Get out of the way!" Dong Que hesitated, glanced at Wen Yi, and saw her nodding before taking a few steps back.

Wen Yi glanced at Wen Hui: "What's wrong with the sixth sister?!" You actually came to me to be angry?! ”

Wen Hui sneered: "Don't pretend to be okay!" I ask you, during the day, is it you...... Deliberately let Ruyi do my thing?! ”
