Chapter 13: The Yi Family
At the Yi family dinner, the atmosphere was solemn.
I thought that Qiu Xiangqiao was talking a lot at the door, and Yi Yangnian's face was very ugly. Considering that it was not easy to talk much at the door, he flicked his sleeves and entered the door. Now that the family sits down to eat together, the atmosphere is more solemn.
Yi Pingting sat at the bottom, reluctantly looking at Yi Yangnian, who was sitting in the first place, and grabbed the handkerchief she put on her lap indignantly.
Qiu Xiangqiao, an old immortal, can't speak so much!
I originally wrote to her in order to give Yi Yangnian a shallow eye medicine in advance. The result is good, Qiu Xiangqiao didn't say it sooner or later, but said it today. Yi Yangnian is very powerful, and he can't wait for all the power and people of the Yi family to be in his hands.
In Yi Yangnian's snobbish eyes, Qiu Xiangqiao and Yi Pingting's secret correspondence is simply challenging his authority in the Yi family, and it is strange that Yi Pingting can give a good look!
This is not?
Just when the dinner party started, Yi Pingting was about to sit in the upper middle position as usual, but was stopped by Yi Yangnian.
"Pingting, don't blame grandpa for being ruthless!" Yi Yangnian slowly finished eating the dishes that Qiu Xiangqiao sandwiched in front of him, looked at Yi Pingting sitting below and looked unhappy, and pretended to be kind and said: "After all, you are not the official lady of the Yi family, you should know the proportions of many things, don't worry about things that you shouldn't care." ”
Li Yu took Liang Qian to visit Bao Cake Zhai and made a lot of trouble, and Yi Yangnian had heard of it even in the suburbs of Beijing. He was not angry that Yi Pingting stumbled Liang Qian, and the only point of dissatisfaction was that Yi Pingting's hand was stretched too long and moved his power.
Li Yu said well that day, the Yi family is his Yi Yangnian master, and no matter what, it will not be Yi Pingting's turn to point fingers at Liang Qian's return home, or even give advice.
Yi Yangnian is doing this now, and he is just trying to remind Yi Pingting to pay attention to his identity and not interfere in the decisions made by the head of the family.
The people in the family have different thoughts, especially a few in the second room almost carved the schadenfreude on their faces. Yi Qinyun, the daughter of the second room, has always been at odds with Yi Pingting, and she is even more happy at this moment.
"Grandpa, you're right!" Yi Pingting reluctantly withdrew her gaze at Yi Qinyun and collected her emotions. A sweet smile appeared on his face, and he really looked like a junior who cared about his grandfather: "Ping Ting understands the reason, how could grandpa do something wrong?" A few days ago, the prince's brother also sent some gifts to Ping Ting, among which there is a pair of warm jade is really excellent, and Ping Ting also wants to have the opportunity to pay tribute to her grandparents that day! ”
After speaking, Yi Pingting motioned to the personal maid beside her to hurry up to the room to get the things, and handed them to Yi Yangnian and Qiu Xiangqiao with her own hands: "I heard that the prince's brother said that this warm jade is extremely rare, and only grandpa and grandma are qualified to use it in our Yi family!" ”
Yi Yangnian quietly held Nuan Yu in his arms, looking at Nuan Yu's excellent condition, and felt a lot more comfortable. After all, she is still begging for a living under her own hands, and Yi Pingting understands the truth.
didn't even give Qiu Xiangqiao a look, Yi Yangnian directly ordered someone to put Nuan Yu into his private treasury, and turned his head to Yi Pingting's attitude was much better: "You and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a smooth relationship now?" "If the relationship between the two people is good, Yi Pingting is the crown prince's side concubine, and Yi Yangnian is naturally willing to give Yi Pingting more face.
Yi Pingting sent a pair of top-quality warm jade is in pain, and what she was waiting for was Yi Yangnian's question. Now that Yi Yangnian asked, Yi Pingting said the answer she had prepared early in the morning with a shyness on her face: "Brother Prince is naturally very good to Pingting, and in a few days he also invited Pingting to go to Panjiang Autumn Fishing together, saying that the fish are delicious these days, so that Pingting can try it!" ”
Yi Yangnian felt more comfortable in his heart after hearing this. He didn't care what means Yi Pingting used to keep the prince's heart, anyway, as long as he could bring benefits to himself.
asked a few more questions about the recent relationship between Yi Pingting and His Royal Highness the Prince, and after receiving a satisfactory answer, Yi Yangnian was satisfied and let Yi Pingting return to his position to eat, without the appearance of being unhappy just now.
The dinner continued.
Yi Yang is not young, and he has always had the habit of drinking supplements. Halfway through the dinner, I put down my chopsticks and drank the tonic served by the next person.
Looking at the eldest grandson Yi Yulang, who had been sitting down and eating without speaking, Yi Yangnian slowly opened his mouth again: "How is Yulang's studies in Taixue these days?" What progress has been made? ”
"Grandpa Lao is worried," Yi Yulang put down the chopsticks in his hand and replied respectfully: "Grandson's studies have been all good recently!" ”
Yi Yangnian nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and turned his head to look at the other juniors of the Yi family.
Yi Yulang was sitting next to Yi Yingying, and Yi Yangnian also saw her at a glance.
Feeling that Yi Yangnian's eyes fell on her, Yi Yingying secretly screamed in her heart that it was not good, and there would definitely be nothing good!
Sure enough, as soon as Yi Yangnian opened his mouth, he asked Yi Yingying how she had studied recently, and whether she had found a few good people to talk about marriage, which stimulated Yi Yingying's scalp to tingle.
Yi Yingying's brain was spinning fast, and she was trying to find an excuse to fool back, but Yi Qinyun, who didn't want to be in the second room, suddenly opened her mouth: "Sister Yingying's female popularity is naturally excellent, I embroidered a pair of mandarin ducks a few days ago, and I can see the shape!" It's just a little ugly......"
"That's it!" The second lady also opened her mouth to stir up: "If you want me to say! Yingying's female red is still making good progress now, although it is not as good as our piano rhyme, but you can finally see what is embroidered! ”
"Humph!" Yi Yangnian was so angry by this that he blew his beard and glared, and glared at Yi Yingying and Dafang's wife Xu Sujie fiercely: "I haven't been able to learn it for a long time, I think it's just a piece of rotten wood, the upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked!" ”
After saying this, Yi Yangnian was still angry, and glanced at Yi Fu in the big house again, and said straightly: "Take care of your wife and children!" Look at what they've been taught! Aside from Yu Lang, can you see if your other child can handle it? ”
"There's nothing to do in the second room!" Yi Yingying muttered unhappily: "The second uncle has given birth to so many children, and I don't see anyone who is particularly promising!" It's not as good as us! My brother is at least very good at it......"
"What did you say!" Yi Yangnian was so angry that he slapped the table heavily. Qiu Xiangqiao also stood up immediately, pointed at Yi Yingying and scolded: "Do you have a part to speak here?" Get back to your room, and I'm not allowed to go out without ten purses!" ”
"Get out of here!" Yi Yingying was red-eyed by the scolding, and ran out of the hall with her skirt, leaving Qiu Xiangqiao and Yi Yangnian still cursing in the hall.
