Chapter VI Marriage Request
Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the palace held the "Aoshan Lantern Festival", a little wealthy people will be everywhere in the home lanterns, even the door on weekdays, the second door is not out of the boudoir daughter, this day will also be three or five groups on the street, around the light market back and forth.
Yan Shaoting stood alone in the courtyard, staring intently at the colorful lanterns and the snowflakes that were illuminated by the lights into gold. His fists clenched, his divinity solemn and resolute, as if waiting to take on a great responsibility or undergo a torture.
Emperor Jiajing and his ministers stood on the tower of the Wumen City.
Jiajing overlooked the brilliant scene and said with a little pride: "How many people in the world envy the dignity and power of the Ninth Five-Year Lord, but how many people know the stability of Kyushu and the livelihood of thousands of Li people. Now, seeing this scene of all the ministers being united and the people being happy, I am very relieved! ”
Yan Song hurriedly arched his hand and said: "My Emperor Shengtian is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty and a blessing for the people!"
Jiajing's eyes looked meaningfully at Yan Shifan: "My happy things can really be described as one after another. A few years ago, it was the bandit leader of the southeast who was in trouble, and yesterday, it was Yan Aiqing who secretly asked for marriage. I always thought that Yan Aiqing and Lu Aiqing would always be more or less a little troubled under the surface of a harmonious atmosphere, but I didn't expect the relationship between the two of you to be so good. However, Yan Aiqing asked for her son to marry the daughter of Lu Aiqing's family, and I had to ask Lu Aiqing before I could make this marriage decree. What does Lu Aiqing think about this marriage? ”
As soon as he spoke, Yan Song, Yan Shifan and Lu Bing's eyes turned into copper bells.
Lu Bing immediately surrendered his hand: "Enlighten the saint, minister...... The son of the Yan Shilang family is now a capable general of Jinyiwei, and the minister naturally likes this subordinate very much. As for...... Chen never thought about the little girl getting married, and always felt that she was still a child. ”
"If I remember correctly, Xuan Xuan should have moved with my Ning An, and it will be twenty-nine years old after the New Year, in fact, it is not small. Of course, it can't be like Yan Aiqing, his marriage proposal and a marriage decree from me will give the two children's lifelong events. Although marriage is 'the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker', this is a matter that affects their lives, and the two children must be happy. You each go home and ask the two children, how about we who are elders do it for them? ”
The three of them said in unison: "The minister obeys the order."
Yan Shifan rushed into the courtyard angrily and roared: "Young master, hurry up and let him get out to see his old man."
"Daddy, the baby is here." Yan Shaoting walked unhurriedly to his father, and said very respectfully: "The child has seen his father."
"Smack!" As soon as Yan Shaoting's words fell, he was slapped in the face.
Yan Shifan scolded: "Okay, I have a long ability, I dare to secretly stuff things in your Laozi's secret letter to the emperor, and dare to disobey my will and want to marry that Lu Xuan, let me tell you, as long as I still have a breath, even if she is a concubine and a girl, don't want to enter the door of my Yan family."
Yan Shaoting said calmly and resolutely: "The child has no intention of disobeying his father, let alone making his father angry, the child just likes Xuan Xuan, and she will not marry in this life."
"You ......" Yan Shifan raised his slap again angrily, and at this time, an old and stern voice sounded behind him: "Shifan, stop!"
Yan Shifan turned his head to look at his faltering father who was supported by the housekeeper, helplessly lowered his hand, and strode towards the house.
