"Wu Yanqiu, pushed this marriage."

As soon as Mrs. Yuerong spoke, her words were like a muffled thunder exploding overhead, and I was immediately stunned: "What?!" ”

"He put the marriage on hold."

Mrs. Yuerong's words were choked, and the tears flashing in her eyes were almost falling, I couldn't believe my ears, and subconsciously grabbed her arm, and said in surprise: "Why? Why did he suddenly withdraw from this marriage? ”

Madame Yuerong shook her head and did not speak.

My mind was completely confused for a while, and I said anxiously: "Is it because of Miss Jin Yao?" What is he dissatisfied with Miss Jin Yao? ”

"Nope."

"Then, is it his family-the queen? Or is it blocked by the Taishi? ”

"Also, it's not."

"And why is he?"

Mrs. Yuerong looked at me, she was speechless, my mind was completely confused at this moment, my mind was full of Yang Jinyao just now when she told me about her meeting with Wu Yanqiu, her face was red with a smile, even the roots of her ears were red, her eyes were shining brightly, and I clearly felt her happiness.

However, her happiness stopped there!

Wu Yanqiu actually turned down this marriage!

I frowned and thought about it, and hurriedly said, "He, what was his attitude before?" Is he satisfied with the marriage? ”

Mrs. Yuerong thought for a while and said, "This Lord Wu, since he mentioned this marriage, he has always been humble and polite, although he has not met Jin Yao, he has not expressed dissatisfaction with Jin Yao. Besides, it's been a year since this marriage was mentioned, and he has always been good before, but Jin Yao is just making trouble. But today—"

"Then why did he push it off today?"

"He said that he was too old to let Jin Yao suffer."

"Huh?"

Mrs. Yuerong was full of sadness: "If you want to talk about age, of course he is older, thirty-four, and Jin Yao is less than nineteen." However, it's not that he suffers, he said it well before, why did he suddenly mention his age today. It's, it's—"

Mrs. Yuerong couldn't speak, and my mood sank.

This is not at all a reason to refuse a marriage.

If you really feel that the age is not appropriate, you should have refused when you mentioned the marriage a year ago, and it shouldn't be by now, the woman's family is almost ready, and even when Yang Jinyao has begun to open her heart to accept it, she suddenly refuses!

This is unreasonable, and even with my understanding of Wu Yanqiu, it doesn't look like his style.

What went wrong?

Seeing that I was also frowning and falling into deep thought, Mrs. Yuerong was a little sober, probably she also felt that it was inappropriate to suddenly tell me such an "outsider" about this matter, she hesitated a little, put down the teacup in her hand, and said to me: "Hey, look at what nonsense I am talking about. Miss Yan, don't mind. ”

"Ah, it's fine."

"I still have some things, so I'll go back first. Miss Yan, Jin Yao's business—"

"Mrs. Yuerong, don't worry, I won't spread it out randomly."

"That's good. Thank you very much. ”

With that, she turned around and hurried out, leaving me sitting in the room, still a little unconscious.

Wu Yanqiu, and Yang Jinyao......

|

In the afternoon, I still locked myself in the room alone, but Cai Wei went out for a stroll for a while, and when she came back, she told me that the maids below were in a mess, as if Yang Jinyao was making trouble in the house, and Yang Wanyun sent someone to watch her down, so that no matter what, she couldn't make trouble before her sixtieth birthday.

When I heard this, I could only sigh and slowly walk to the window and sit down.

was originally a good marriage, but I didn't expect that within a day, the situation changed abruptly and became what it is now.

Wu Yanqiu and Yang Jinyao, although the age difference between these two people is a little, but if they can really be together, it may not be a good story, Wu Yanqiu has a calm and introverted temperament, and can tolerate Yang Jinyao's stubbornness and recklessness; And a little woman like Yang Jinyao, if you want her to fall in love, you must first make her look up, Wu Yanqiu is enough to impress this little girl in terms of experience and wisdom, and today they are on the side of the restaurant, I already feel that Yang Jinyao has a good impression of him.

But why did Wu Yanqiu turn down this marriage at this time?

Cai Wei brought me a cup of hot tea, stood beside me, and sighed lightly: "Hey, Miss Yang is so pitiful." ”

I looked up at her, "Huh? ”

"Being divorced, this matter is going to get out, what can she do in the future? Is anyone still willing to want her? ”

"This matter has not been spread yet, and besides, their marriage is only being discussed, and it has not been contracted at all." I said to her, "Don't go out and talk nonsense." ”

"I know, I'm not going to talk nonsense. I just think, that man is so bad! ”

“……”

"Okay, why do you want to put down this marriage?"

“……”

yes, okay, why should you push off this marriage?

If it was his own intention, he should have refused as early as when he mentioned the marriage, and he would not hurt others, but it was delayed until a year later, when the matter was almost about to take shape, which not only hurt Yang Jinyao, but also did not benefit him, and it could even be said that he directly offended Yang Wanyun, but this is still a trivial matter, what is really strict is the power of the queen's faction and the power of the imperial merchant Yang Wanyun's faction, from the original possible cooperation, to now, almost the enemy!

What's going on?

My heart was full of doubts, but I couldn't get any answer just thinking about it, and in the evening, I heard Cai Wei say that Yang Jinyao had refused to eat, Mrs. Yuerong and Mrs. Hanyu both went to her room together to persuade her, I stood at the window, looking at the dark night, a place in Yang's mansion was brightly lit, and the night was bright, and it seemed that Yang Jinyao's room was located.

I don't know how they persuaded her.

I sighed, closed the window, turned around and walked slowly to the bed, and lay down with my clothes folded.

The flickering candlelight beside the bed cast a dark shadow in the folds of the drapery, as if there were so many people in turmoil that my mind could not be calmed.

Although this matter has nothing to do with me, and whether it is success or failure has no effect on me, as soon as I close my eyes, Yang Jinyao's face with extraordinary joy and anger will appear in front of me.

I knew that I couldn't do anything, and I shouldn't do anything, but this incident faintly made me feel uneasy, as if there was some wind and rain coming over the entire Yang Mansion, and it was also suppressed in everyone's hearts.

At noon the next day, Mrs. Yuerong came to me again.

This time, her expression was even darker than before, and even that radiant face lost its brilliance, and as soon as she entered the door, she happened to meet us eating, so I hurriedly got up: "Mrs. Yuerong, why are you here?" ”

She walked in, looked at Cai Wei next to her, and didn't care about anything else, so she said, "Miss Yan, you have to help me this time." ”

"What's wrong? You sit down and say. ”

She came over and sat down at the table, and I saw that her eyes were red, and there was a faint haze under her eyes, it seemed that she hadn't slept well at all last night, although she didn't frown, but there were a few faint wrinkles in the center of her eyebrows, and she looked sad. As soon as she sat down, she said to me, "Miss Yan, the master originally said that you are here to be a guest this time, and we shouldn't bother you." But Jin Yao's girl is really too stubborn, she-after she knew about Wu Yanqiu's incident, she has been crying since last night until now, dropping everything that can be dropped in the house, and refusing to eat. ”

"Huh?!"

"She's still young, and there's nothing she can't get by. But if she goes on like this, and everybody knows about it, then—what will she be in the future! ”

I just remembered that there is still one day to go is Yang Wanyun's 60th birthday, and when the Yang Mansion is definitely full of guests, dignitaries and dignitaries with heads and faces should come, if his daughter Yang Jinyao does not attend, or even cries like this at home, then the matter will be completely troubled, and when the time comes, it will really be like Cai Wei and Mrs. Yuerong are worried about - her reputation will be difficult to protect.

I said, "So, what does Lady Yuerong want me to do?" ”

"Miss Yan, Jin Yao, she is most convinced by you, she was so reluctant to agree to this marriage before, and after you said it, she won't make trouble, but now she is like this, and I bother to ask Miss Yan to come over and have a look. You know how to learn, and that girl will listen to you. ”

“……”

This is what it is my duty to do.

So, I didn't hesitate, just put down the dishes and chopsticks in my hand, and said, "Okay, you can take me over now." ”

Mrs. Yuerong got up with a thousand thanks and walked out with me.

After a while, we arrived outside Yang Jinyao's room.

There were still a few women who looked strong and strong, obviously afraid that she would make a fuss and hurt people, as soon as we walked to the door, we heard a bang inside, I don't know what it was broken, and then Yang Jinyao's crying voice sounded-

"Go away! Go away! ”

Sure enough, what a big temper.

Mrs. Yuerong sighed, and was about to say something inside, but I stretched out my hand to stop her, and then walked to the door by myself, and said softly to the crack in the door: "Jin Yao, can I come in?" ”

“……”

"I want to come and see you."

“……”

Strange to say, it was only quiet for a while, and then I heard a soft knock on the door, and someone opened the door inside.

Lady Yuerong and I looked at each other and smiled, she nodded at me gratefully, I just smiled, and pushed the door and walked in.

When I went in, I lived up to Mrs. Yuerong's worries, it was a mess, the ground was full of broken porcelain, jade fragments, and even the bead curtain between the inner room and the outer room was torn off, and the beads on the ground were gurgling and rolling, I carefully stepped on the open space to walk over, so as not to fall, and I saw Yang Jinyao's sideburns scattered, and a pair of red and swollen eyes leaning on the head of the bed.

She has been crying for a long time, her eyes are red, but looking at her bulging cheeks, in addition to heartache, she also thinks she is cute and ridiculous.

I walked slowly over to her, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm here to apologize to you." ”

She knew that I had entered the house, and she didn't look up, but at this time, she was stunned for a moment, raised her head and looked at me, her eyes seemed to ask me "why", I smiled and said: "It's all my fault, you shouldn't have talked too much last night, and persuaded you to go see that Wu Yanqiu." Now, you'd be willing, but he's—"

Her face was white and red for a while, and she was indescribably annoyed and frustrated, and said angrily: "Who, who is willing?!" He's such an old man, I don't want to marry him! ”

"Really? You don't want to? I pretended to be surprised: "That's a good feeling." ”

She was suddenly anxious again, and wanted to stand up, but maybe she had broken something all night, and she had no strength, so she just stood up a little and fell back, and then she was even more angry, and slapped the bed hard: "Even if I don't want to, he shouldn't have pushed off his marriage with me!" Why is he?! ”

"Why?" I smiled and said, "Of course, he is the same as you, a person with joy and anger, love and hate." ”

“……”

"You forgot that you refused to marry him and ran away from home. Why, only if you don't want to, don't let him refuse. ”

“……”

As soon as I said this, she was blocked by me, and screamed for a while: "Sister Yan, who are you helping!?" ”

Seeing that she was affectionate and willing to speak to me, I slowly reached the edge of the bed, faced her, and said softly: "As for me, I didn't help anyone." But now I'm close to you, and I'm still willing to help you. ”

"Then you-"

"But the question is, what am I supposed to do for you?" I looked at her big eyes and said softly: "If you are still unwilling to marry him, then I will help you and your family keep the secret that you once had a marriage contract, and in the future, you and his man and woman will marry, and you will not owe each other." No one knows that you once had a marriage contract, and your future husband will not know that you once disguised yourself as a woman to secretly meet Wu Yanqiu. ”

“……”

"But, if you're will—"

As soon as my voice dragged on, she became anxious: "Then what should you do?" ”

I looked at her with a smile: "What, are you really willing?" ”

She chirped her eyes, immediately realized something, and suddenly her face turned red again, angry and annoyed and didn't know what to do, so she could only raise her hands to cover her face. I was amused by her appearance, smiled and pulled down her hands, looked at her frustrated expression, and her weeping eyes, and said softly: "Then this matter will be discussed in the long run." ”

"Think long-term? Why? ”

"Because, I think Wu Yanqiu pushed off his marriage with you, this matter is not simple."

Her eyes widened suddenly: "Why?!" ”

I slowly analyzed Wu Yanqiu's personality with her, and my opinion of him after getting along with him for those days, and finally, I said slowly: "He is not an irresponsible person, if he really feels that it is not commensurate with your age, he will oppose this matter as soon as it is raised, and he will not wait until a year later to object." He's only now turning it down, and I think there's something else. ”

Yang Jinyao hurriedly asked, "What is the reason?" ”

I smiled faintly: "This, I'm not him, how would I know." ”

"So, can we find out?"

Looking at Yang Jinyao's bloodshot eyes, which were exceptionally bright at the moment, and even came with a little eagerness, I thought about it and said, "However, this matter is not so simple. ”

"Why?"

"You have to know what you're going to do if you find out."

"Me?"

"Wu Yanqiu is already a member of the household department, and he is a member of the imperial court, and if he can change his marriage, the purpose behind it is definitely not simple, if someone wants him to change, then this person is even more not simple."

“……”

"It's possible, you found it out, but in the end there is still nothing you can do, and he still has to push it off this marriage."

“……”

"In this case, do you want to check it out too?"

“……”

This time, Yang Jinyao was only silent for a short period of time, and when she raised her head to look at me again, I saw an extremely determined look in her eyes, almost with the same aura as Yang Jinqiao back then, and she said, "Then I still have to know the truth." ”

“……”

"Even if you can't change anything, it's okay."

“……”

"I, I can't be rejected by him for no reason."

“……”

"I didn't want to before, because I was ignorant, but I listened to your words and went to meet his people, I don't hate him, even if he is an old man, I don't dislike him, so what does he dislike about me, I must find out!"

As she spoke, she clenched her fists vigorously: "I don't want to be so unclear, otherwise, I won't be reconciled!" ”

Looking at her like this, almost overlapped with the shadow of Yang Jinqiao, who was quiet and indisputable in Shangyang Palace, but knew where to go and even gave me guidance.

Although the two sisters are not related by blood, they are surprisingly similar.

I also admire the firmness of this girl in front of me very much.

Seeing her like this, I gently glanced back, looked at the mess all over the ground, and smiled: "Since you know what you should do, do you still want to spend all your energy messing around in this house?" ”

Yang Jinyao also glanced down, looking at the room that had been tossed by herself, and couldn't help but blush: "I-I'm just, it's just-"

"I understand." I said gently, "You have the right to lose your temper, but you have to understand what is more important than losing your temper." ”

She nodded vigorously.

I could almost hear her gritting her teeth and say, "My father's 60th birthday is coming, I want to ask him in person!" ”

I was stunned.

Yang Wanyun's 60th birthday?

By the way, there are still two days to go, which is his sixtieth birthday, and Wu Yanqiu, as the head of the household, should also be among his invitations.

In this case, maybe he really wants to have a peak duel with this Miss Yang!

Yang Jinyao looked up at me again: "Sister Yan, when the time comes, you-"

I immediately realized that she was going to invite me to face it with her, or to question Wu Yanqiu, but I immediately retreated in my heart, or that this matter was not within my consideration at all, after all, I knew my situation very well, and I didn't plan to have any dealings with other people in the court until I met Yang Jinqiao and figured out some things.

However, without waiting for me to refuse, Yang Jinyao swallowed the words back by herself, as if she had figured out something, and muttered to herself: "No, I'll ask him myself!" ”

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, comforting her softly, she turned around and walked out of the house, Mrs. Yuerong was waiting worriedly outside, and when she saw me coming out, she immediately greeted me excitedly, and I smiled and said, "Let someone prepare something to eat for Miss Jin Yao." ”

She was so happy in her heart that she almost couldn't help clapping her hands, and hurriedly ordered the person next to her to go down and prepare, and then turned her head to me to thank me, and I just waved my hand lightly, indicating that I didn't do anything.

Seeing that Mrs. Yuerong was about to go into the house to visit her daughter, I suddenly remembered something and said, "Mrs. Yuerong, please stay." ”

She stopped and looked back at me.

I thought about it for a while and said, "The day after tomorrow, it's Lord Yang's sixtieth birthday, and the birthday banquet is to be held in the mansion, right?" ”

She nodded hurriedly.

"So, who are the guests invited? Can Madame sue me? ”
