Just when Qi Tanying didn't know how to solve the dilemma, Yan Li asked someone to come to visit the Qi family, wanting to see Qi Tanying again.

Qi Tanying agreed after a little thought.

Mrs. Qi was a little incomprehensible, "Didn't you take a fancy to him last time?" ”

Qi Tanying knew that her mother had misunderstood, and immediately explained.

Mrs. Qi glanced at her daughter, "But he is thirteen years older than you, and the age gap is too big." ”

Qi Tanying doesn't care about the age difference, she sees it very thoroughly, if Yan Li is a teenager, can he have today's official rank and position?

Seeing that her daughter seemed to have made up her mind, Mrs. Qi hesitated for a while and told Yan Li about taking a concubine.

"Although he has never married, he has a concubine in the family who has been with him for ten years."

Qi Tanying frowned, "Concubine room? ”

Mrs. Qi nodded, "That concubine is still a good concubine, although she doesn't have the title of a wife, but the neighbors have long regarded her as the daughter-in-law of the Yan family." ”

Hearing this, Qi Tanying's eager heart suddenly cooled.

It's because she thinks too simply, she should have understood a long time ago that at Yan Li's age, it is impossible for there to be no one around to serve her.

It seems that the road of marriage will not work for the time being.

She had the idea of leaving the Jiang family, maybe as long as they moved away from the Jiang family and away from Jiang Liangyu, Princess Changxing and the county lord of Qingyang would feel at ease.

They now live in the Jiang family, except for borrowing the Jiang family's house, they use their own money for food and clothing, even if they move out to live, it doesn't make much difference.

Qi Tanying told her mother her thoughts, but Mrs. Qi had concerns, living in the Jiang family, they could follow Mrs. Jiang out to the banquet, if they moved out, they would not have the opportunity to contact the circle of the family.

In addition, Qi Juemin of the long house did not dare to come to the door because he was afraid of the Jiang family, if he moved away from the Jiang family, how could they resist the jackals, tigers and leopards in the clan with only their orphans and widows.

In the final analysis, there is still no man in their family to support the court, if her husband is still there, or her son Qi Yukun has already started a family, they don't have to look forward to the future.

Mrs. Qi wanted to dispel her daughter's idea of moving out of the Jiang family, and warned: "Don't talk about moving away in the future, have you forgotten about the eldest girl in the Tanglin Palace?" Our mother, orphans and widows live outside, what if we encounter gangsters? ”

also said that he would ask his aunt, Mrs. Jiang, to help her find a suitable family.

She didn't know that Mrs. Jiang was very optimistic about Yan Li, and seeing that Qi Tanying didn't want to look at each other anymore, she persuaded her for a long time.

In order to deal with Mrs. Jiang, Qi Tanying agreed to meet Yan Li.

The last time I saw each other, I was mixed up by Jiang Zhenyu, and this time the address of the mutual look was changed to Juxian Teahouse in Xingqing Fang.

Mrs. Jiang booked two private rooms in Juxing Teahouse, and when Qi Tanying and Yan Li met, she and Mrs. Qi were drinking tea next door.

This time, Qi Tanying did not deliberately dress up, whether it was a dress or a hair accessory, it was much quieter than the last time.

Yan Li's eyes fell on her fair and beautiful face, and the ghost thought of the poem: If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, it is always appropriate to wear light makeup and heavy makeup!

Just when Yan Li was distracted, Qi Tanying had already thought of the excuse of refusal in her heart.

"The situation of the Qi family, presumably Lord Yan already knows something, my father died early, and I have been dependent on my mother and younger brother since I was a child. If you marry me, I'm afraid you won't be able to help you in your career. ”

Yan Li didn't expect her to be so direct, and she was a little distracted when she met those dark and bright eyes.

After a while, he straightened up and said, "What Miss Qi said Yan understands, but Yan never thought of relying on the power of his wife to obtain wealth and glory. ”

Qi Tanying was a little surprised, and heard him ask again, "Yan is thirteen years older than Miss Qi, I wonder if Miss Qi minds?" ”

Qi Tanying never minded his age. What she minded was that he took a concubine before he took a wife.

She asked, "I heard that you have a good concubine in your family." ”

After all, she is an unmarried girl, even if Qi Tanying is not the kind of girl who follows the rules, she is a little uncomfortable asking about this at the moment.

Yan Li bowed his head lightly and explained to her:

"She and Yan are fellow villagers, and her family was in trouble with her cousin to join the Yan family, and some accidents happened in the middle, so she became Yan's concubine."

"Her family is kind to the Yan family, and I promised that unless she takes the initiative to leave, the Yan family will always be her home."

Hearing this, Qi Tanying was in a somewhat complicated mood.

It seems that he has a deep relationship with Concubine Naliang, she has envied the relationship between her parents Qin Se and Ming since she was a child, and she doesn't like that there are others mixed between husband and wife.

With that good concubine here, it is impossible for her to be with Yan Li.

There was a trace of regret in her heart, and she couldn't help but ask him: "Since she is a fellow villager and has been in a relationship for ten years, why didn't Lord Yan straighten her out?" ”

This was a bold and abrupt question, Yan Li was stunned for a moment before reacting.

He thought for a moment and replied: "Her identity is not destined to become Yan's wife." ”

It turned out to be because of her identity, Qi Tanying didn't understand a little, the concubine in Yan Li's family was a good concubine, then she should be an innocent woman from a good family, he said that he didn't look at his family background when he married a wife.

Then why can't you go to the concubine? After all, there is no saying that concubines can't be straightened in the court.

Qi Tanying really couldn't understand.

"It seems that we are not suitable, I hope Lord Yan can find a good couple as soon as possible."

After saying this, Qi Tanying got up and said goodbye.

Looking at her departing back, Yan Li's eyes darkened, and it took a long time before he let out a long sigh.

On the other side, Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Jiang have been observing the two of them next door, but because the sound insulation is too good, they only listen to a few words intermittently.

Seeing her daughter come out, Mrs. Qi immediately asked, "Ah Tan, how did you talk to him?" ”

Qi Tanying looked at her mother's concerned eyes and shook her head slightly.

Mrs. Qi's face sank, "What, he still dares to dislike our family?" ”

Qi Tanying hurriedly said, "It's not like this. She hesitated for a moment and then said, "He has a deep relationship with that concubine, and I don't want to get involved." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Qi frowned and looked at Mrs. Jiang, "Sister, didn't you say that his concubine was just an ornament?" ”

"How can outsiders know so clearly about the things in his house." Mrs. Jiang said: "I specially asked someone to inquire, saying that the concubine stayed in her house every day and did not serve by Yan Li's side, which shows that she is not favored." ”

Qi Tanying understood that not being favored was just her aunt's speculation, not what she really saw.

Mrs. Qi was very angry, and angrily blamed Mrs. Jiang for almost harming her daughter, if Qi Tanying married in a daze, then Yan Li's concubine killed his wife, and her life would be ruined.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but mention Qi Tanying and Jiang Liangyu's previous marriage contract, "If it weren't for Sister A's treachery, Brother Liang'er would have become my son-in-law by now." "Where can it be so embarrassing as it is right now.

Qi Tanying and Jiang Liangyu's earlier wedding date was set for early April, which is why Mrs. Qi rushed to Kyoto despite the cold spring.

Mrs. Jiang didn't like her sister to mention the old things again, "The twisted melon is not sweet, what Brother Liang likes in his heart has always been the lord of Qingyang, even if Ah Tan marries him, will they be happy?" ”

Not to be outdone, Mrs. Qi said: "You are not a fortune teller, how can you be sure that Brother Liang will not be happy if he marries my family's Ah Tan." ”

Mrs. Jiang: ......
