Chapter 24: The Son-in-law

The atmosphere of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner seems a little weird.

Yan Yu put his fist to his lips and coughed dryly. His third uncle was okay, still smiling like a Buddha and greeting Tian Shuangquan. As for the others......

Yan Yu glanced at Yan Tian, who was expressionless, and Qin Zhuen, who was expressionless. It's not her who looks like she's going to marry, she just lowers her eyes and doesn't look at anyone. The other one who seems to be getting married is him, staring at others and staring at them non-stop.

It was naturally Tian Shuangquan who was stared at. At this moment, he was bowing halfway out of his seat to toast Yan Wenkuan, and then sat back on the edge of the stool, bowing his head and respectfully answering Yan Wenkuan's question. But the corner of his eye drifted to Yan Tian's side from time to time.

Yan Yu couldn't help but cough again. This man said that he could not become his brother-in-law in the future, and he felt the need to touch a glass. It's just that the wine cup hasn't been picked up yet, and another cup suddenly sticks out of the oblique and touches the one in front of Tian Shuangquan.

Qin Zhuen, who was sitting next to him, grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "How old is the Tian family brother this year?" ”

"After the New Year, ten or eighteen ......" Tian Shuangquan has just been introduced by Yan Wenkuan, and it is known that this is the only son of the eldest princess of Xiangning. Therefore, at this time, looking at the nobleman in brocade clothes in front of him who was full of scum and a charlatan, he couldn't help but be very restrained.

He shuddered, and was about to get up again.

"Eh, sit, sit." Qin Zhuen pressed Tian Shuangquan back to his seat, hugged his neck affectionately, and smiled even more heroically on his face, "It turns out that he is one year younger than me, you can call me Brother Qin in the future." ”

"Qin, Qin Gongzi...... No, don't dare, don't dare to ......" Tian Shuangquan's neck seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, he barely hugged his fists, and the expression on his face was about to cry.

Dignity and order! You are different! This is the nephew of the current emperor! Calling him a brother and a brother yourself? Then he is really afraid that he will break Yang Shou and live, but tonight is this Chinese New Year's Eve.

Yan Wenkuan suddenly seemed to think of something when he saw this scene, and after being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but glance at Yan Yu vaguely. Others didn't care, but in Yan Tian's eyes, she quickly understood.

Yan Tian stood up, picked up the wine cup and saluted everyone on the table, and everyone stopped to look at her.

"Little sister, I have never had such a lively Chinese New Year's Eve, and this year is the first time. In the past, Yan Tian and his father celebrated the New Year, although it was also a father-daughter family, but in the end it was a little colder. All of you here are Yan Tian's brothers. The little sister sells small with a small lean today, pampered and proud, and dares to make a suggestion. Only this night, the brothers Mo regarded Yan Tian as his daughter's family, and detained Yan Tian to follow the rules of the boudoir. only connived at Yan Tian once, and did not distinguish between the noble and the low. Yan Tian raised his eyes to look at Qin Zhuen.

"I don't care about any bloodline." She turned to look at Yan Yu again.

"You don't have to follow any etiquette and teachings, you don't have to deliberately cater to them, you just want not to violate your heart." This sentence was said to Tian Shuangquan.

"All the brothers are my father's nephews and Yan Tian's elder brothers. The father treats everyone equally, and the little sister respects it completely. On the occasion of this festive reunion, the little sister wishes all the brothers that the cold spring will come early and the family will be prosperous and healthy. As he spoke, he raised his hand and drank a full glass of wine.

Yan Wenkuan couldn't help laughing, raised his head and took a drink. sighed in my heart, there is a woman like this, what more can a husband ask for! In the end, the father and daughter are connected, and the daughter knows his concerns.

Although Tian Shuangquan is his nephew, he is also his mother's maiden family, and his mother is a concubine. The concubine's family is naturally not a relative. Let Yan Yu, the second son of the dignified Ding'an Hou Mansion, sit with an old aunt's mother's family and push the cup to change the lamp? And the only son of the eldest princess of Xiangning is even more joking to call her brother?! If Yan Yu is a person who attaches great importance to etiquette and rules, he may leave the table with his sleeves brushed up.

Tian Tian seemed to be talking about himself on the face just now, but he was actually relieving his father. Pretending to be pampered and coquettish, he asked the nephews to call themselves only brothers during this banquet, regardless of men and women, let alone concubines. seems to be the unreasonable trouble of her daughter's family, but in fact, she said all the ugly things in front. Yan Yu didn't have the best in his heart, but if there was really something, it was not easy to find fault at this time.

However, Yan Yu really didn't have anything in his heart, and if it weren't for Yan Tian's words to remind him, he wouldn't have thought of this at all. But now that Yan Tian had spoken, he instantly understood. He looked up at Yan Wenkuan, reached out and picked up the wine glass and touched it with Tian Shuangquan, and said with a smile:

"The eldest sister is right, today's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, there is no need to follow any etiquette and humility, and there is no need for those bent flattery. How happy how to come! How comfortable how to come! ”

Of course, Qin Zhuen also understood what Yan Tian meant, and couldn't help but smile and withdraw his arm: "Yes, yes, just follow your heart." Call it anything! Called Qin Gongzi...... And very good, very good......"

Tian Shuangquan was immediately nailed to the spot after being glanced at by Yan Tian with a smile just now. Although he didn't quite understand the intention of Yan Tian's words for a while, he understood the last sentence. So that he doesn't have to cater to it, just follow his heart.

The cousin of the Yan family is so empathetic and knowledgeable, and she is ...... She is still so beautiful......

Tian Shuangquan's face turned red with a "bang" and turned into a red lantern outside. How could he marry such a fairy......

Holding back the ecstasy in his heart, Tian Shuangquan pursed his lips and lowered his head, not daring to look at Yan Tian on the other side. All the worries and reluctance to come to Luoyang before have turned into clouds and dissipated with the wind.

To be honest, when the Yan family's uncle first wrote to him, he already had a faint guess in his heart. At the beginning of last year, the Yan family sent a descendant to sweep the tomb once said that the Yan family's uncle only has one daughter under his knees, and she is the pearl of the uncle's palm, and she loves it like a treasure.

So when the letter full of concern was delivered to him, he had already vaguely guessed that the Yan family was deliberately recruiting himself as a son-in-law. Being able to be the son-in-law of the Hou Mansion of Ding'an, this is simply a step to the sky! He didn't want to come from a poor family, but he still had a day of heat stroke!

He has been studying since he was a child, and he has never done farm work, and he cannot carry a basket in his hands or carry a burden on his shoulders. Both parents died in his early years, and he only lived on a small income. In order to make a living, I worked all day long, and I didn't even have time to study and prepare for exams.

And it just so happened that at this time, his uncle, the prefect of Luozhou, and the third master of the Ding'an Hou Mansion took the initiative to write to him. The first two letters were just a description of family life, but the next few letters had a faint meaning of recruiting him as a son-in-law.

Recruit him as a son-in-law? Tian Shuangquan naturally understood that this trick would never be an ordinary son-in-law. The only daughter in the family, the pearl in her hand, took him to study in Luozhou...... What is this not a son-in-law?

As the son-in-law of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, you don't have to work and suffer, and you will have a famous teacher to guide you in your studies, so how many benefits are there? But Tian Shuangquan is a scholar after all, even if there are all kinds of benefits, the scholar's idea is high, which still makes him have a natural resistance to this matter.

Being a son-in-law, after all, is an act of forgetting one's ancestors and turning one's back on one's ancestors. Since he decided to come to Luozhou, every night in the middle of the night, the ancestors of the Tian family would fall asleep, and then point to his nose and scold.

The scolding shook the sky, and the scolding was remarkable, like the water of the Yellow River, which made him often listen to the training in his dreams and hear the three poles of the sun. The roosters outside sang three times, and they couldn't drive away the ancestors who were scolding. So much so that every time he got up in the morning, he was sweating profusely, his head was as big as a bucket, and his ears were ringing and dizzy.

Moreover, their village is not without heirs and daughters-in-law. Most of those women are brutal and pampered, and they look like they have no salt. And that son-in-law is even more miserable, not to mention marrying an extremely ugly mother-in-law, and being bullied every day.

"Let the second child take the surname of the Yan family", this is a temptation for him. If the Yan family refuses strongly, he can't do it, so he can only accept his fate. But because of this, he was able to find out that Yan's father was strong and domineering, so he inferred that his daughter must be a fierce woman. After that, I had to be cautious in everything and curry favor everywhere.

Who knew that the reply from the uncle of the Yan family was quite surprising, not only did he readily agree, but there was also a faint joy and gratitude in his words. It seems that this Yan family is still a reasonable family. Tian Shuangquan only relaxed a little at this time.

The biggest worry left is only Miss Yan's family. I don't know what it looks like, but my temper is terrifying.

The daughter of the prefect and the girl of the Ding'an Hou Mansion in his imagination don't know what it looks like to be delicate and rude.

The biggest official he had ever seen before was only the county magistrate in his hometown. The young lady of his family is very powerful, and Cheng Rijie doesn't do any work, only raising a delicate one. If you don't agree, let the next person go to the courtyard and kneel.

But who knows, when I first saw Yan Tian, I saw her holding a spatula in her hand, her face was black and gray, unkempt, and she seemed to be cooking on a fire.

Tian Shuangquan was stunned, and even a little disappointed. This is the prefect's daughter? A real wealthy aristocrat? Ladylike? But how is it no different from the ordinary village girl in the countryside?

It wasn't until Yan Tian changed his clothes and washed his face that Tian Shuangquan was stunned again. It turns out that the real wealthy nobles are really beautiful and dignified. He couldn't help but bump into his arms.

And at this moment at this banquet, Tian Shuangquan, who bowed his head and blushed, suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with joining the Yan family. He was full of longing at the moment, looking forward to the days after he and Yan Tian got married. Even if his second child's surname is Yan, even if the ancestors of the Tian family come to scold him in his dreams every night......

However, since this night, I don't know if the ancestors of his Tian family are tired, or if they also think that Yan Tian is good and approve of Tian Shuangquan's involvement. Anyway, it never came into his dreams again.

……

Sanshou felt that his master should be able to breathe a sigh of relief now. Without a single soldier, the big problem of "Miss Yan likes me" was solved, and their son-in-law must be crazy with joy.

Then he found out that his son-in-law might be really crazy.

"Yan Tian is so pitiful!" Qin Zhuen gradually hovered on the verge of going berserk, "Obviously you have a heart, but you still have to force a smile?!" In order to obey his father's orders, he pretended to be nothing! is so pure and filial, but she has wronged herself!! ”

Sanshou nodded, it's all fucking destroyed! His son-in-law is completely hopeless! He doesn't have to go back to Beijing, just be buried here directly!
