Chapter Eighty-Seven: Thoughts
The night is like splashing ink, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
Yan Li attended the banquet late at night and returned.
Qi Tanying thought that he would not come back, so she went to bed early to rest. Seeing that he was drunk and unconscious, he quickly got up and helped him to lie on the couch, and asked people to cook sobering soup.
After a while, the maid sent the decanting soup to the room, and after Qi Tanying fed him and drank it, he finally regained some consciousness. He was half-reclining on the couch, his dark eyes shining with a blurry brilliance against the candle flame.
"Tan, I'm uncomfortable."
Qi Tanying glanced at him angrily, "You deserve it!" ”
is so drunk that I don't drink less at first glance, so it's no wonder that it's not uncomfortable.
Hearing this, he reached out and grabbed her wrist and put it on his chest, looking at her with an aggrieved expression, "You have been ignoring me these days, and I feel uncomfortable." ”
After the last dowry list, Yan Li obviously felt that his wife was cold and alienated from him.
It's just that Dali Temple was busy with official business during that time, and he was not at home all day, missing the best time to ease relations with her. When he was done, he found that his wife didn't care about him anymore.
In the past, he drank and ate with people outside, and if he went back late, she would send someone to urge. Today, he drank with his colleagues until late at night, and he didn't wait for anyone to come to his house, so he was anxious and angry, so he insisted on going home despite the retention of his colleagues.
Who knew that when she returned home, she turned off the lights early and went to sleep.
The more Yan Li thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and he pulled the person into his arms and pressed it, "Can you be as close to me, gentle, and patient as before?" Or if you are unhappy, you can scold me, you can beat me, you just can't cold me. ”
Qi Tanying struggled to break free from his arms, and she looked coldly at the drunken man, "You're drunk." ”
"No, I'm not drunk."
"You rest early, and I'll talk about it tomorrow."
"I'm not drunk, I'm really not drunk."
Seeing that his wife was leaving, Yan Li suddenly got up and hugged her from behind, "I can't wait for tomorrow, let's make it clear now, okay?" ”
Qi Tanying tilted her head slightly, "I don't talk to drunks." "L, when you wake up, you forget what you say and do.
Yan Li didn't let go, buried his head on her back, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm sober, I'm not a drunk." ”
"I have always seen your filial piety to my mother, and I was also angry at the time, so I misunderstood you." As he spoke, his voice became quieter: "I have been reflecting these days, and I will definitely not do this again in the future." ”
Hearing this, Qi Tanying felt a lot more comfortable, "I am indeed responsible for my mother being stunned, but you have to figure it out, the root cause is that your uncle and aunt are too greedy." Not only did you not listen to my explanation, but you also misunderstood that I deliberately wanted to stun my mother-in-law, could it be that in your heart, I am such a vicious person? ”
"No... I..."
Yan Li was in a hurry, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
He knew that the culprit was his uncle and aunt, so after that, he only helped them redeem the Du family's ancestral house, and drove their family of three to the old house in Xinghua Lane.
They were not allowed to come to the door without his consent.
He assured her, "I'll never do such a bastard again." ”
Qi Tanying stared at him, "What I want is that you have enough trust and tolerance for me, instead of self-righteous accusations against me." I won't do anything to hurt you, and I hope you don't hurt me. ”
"Not anymore." He assured her again.
Qi Tanying added: "If you have any doubts in your heart, you can ask me directly, don't speculate self-righteously." ”
Hearing this, Yan Li's heart moved, and she almost asked why she had to meet Jiang Zhenyu at the Juxian Teahouse before. When the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, he said that he wanted to believe her, if he really asked, wouldn't he be untrustworthy.
Qi Tanying was also worried that Yan Li would not admit his account after waking up, but who knew that he admitted his mistake again in a sober state. After the words were spoken, the estrangement between the couple disappeared.
After the two reconciled, they began the life of honey and oil in the newlywed.
Time flies quickly, and in a flash, it is the day when Dali Temple recruits patrols.
Song Erlang signed up for the exam under Yan Li's suggestion, and was successfully selected for Dali Temple with his superb martial arts. Yan Li intended to cultivate him, so he took him with him.
When Qi Tanying told Du Yuanniang the good news, Du Yuanniang was overjoyed and excited, but worried that her greedy father and mother would be a moth.
After they were driven to Xinghua Lane by their cousin, they went to Song's house to ask for benefits. Although they were beaten by their cousin when they found out, according to their temperament, how could they stop there.
Du Yuanniang didn't want to marry into the Song family yet, so she aroused the disgust of her in-laws, so she asked people to go to Xinghua Lane to stare at Uncle Du and Aunt Du.
Sure enough, as Du Yuanniang expected, Uncle Du and Uncle Du bought a few pastries at random to congratulate the Song family after learning that their future son-in-law became the patrol of Dali Temple.
Before he went out, he was stopped by Du Yu.
Du Yu lost his temper and said hatefully: "My aunt and cousin don't take us seriously at all, and would rather promote an outsider than help me find a future." ”
His eyes widened, his face turned pale, and he slammed his fist on the table, "And my good sister, who only cares about her own well-being, but allows her parents and brothers to suffer in this broken house, it is really wonderful." ”
Uncle Du and Aunt Du were frightened by Yan Li's previous beating, and even if they were unwilling, they didn't dare to go to Old Mrs. Yan to make trouble again.
Aunt Du persuaded her son: "Brother Yu, your cousin is unreliable, we still have to rely on your sister after all." ”
"Huh, rely on her?" Du Yu sneered, "I just used a few pots of ice from her, and she went to my aunt to pretend to be pitiful, causing me to be kicked out of the Yan family by my aunt." ”
Du Yu is now a broken jar, and he feels that everyone in the world is sorry for him.
He hated his aunt for being ruthless, his cousin for being cold-hearted, his cousin for being treacherous, and his sister for being ungrateful.
hates his father and mother even more, he looks shrewd on the surface, but in fact he is stupid and stupid, and it is easy for people to cheat all their family wealth.
Thinking of this, he slammed the table again.
Aunt Du hurriedly said, "Son, don't be angry. It's not that we don't have nothing, and when the Song family hires your sister, the dowry will be all at your disposal. ”
Uncle Du also echoed: "Yes, the Song family doesn't look like a small family, and the dowry should not be less." ”
Hearing this, Du Yu calmed down a lot.
Yes, they are short of money now, and if they can hold the dowry in their hands, it will be much easier to do anything.
But he quickly thought of something inappropriate, "Father, mother, the marriage between Yuan Niang and Song Erlang was set with the help of my aunt, and the Song family will definitely go to the Yan Mansion when they are hired." With my aunt here, the dowry may not necessarily come to us. ”
Aunt Du was anxious when she heard this, "Then what should I do?" ”
Du Yu narrowed his eyes, "The plan for today is to take Yuan Niang to Xinghua Lane to prepare for marriage." ”
"But will your aunt agree?"
"Yuan Niang's parents and brothers are here, how can she stay at my aunt's house for a long time?"
