Yesterday, my uncle went to our house and reminded us to keep an eye on our aunt when we went out.
He was worried about Yan Xiaoling and Yan Xiaoyan, fearing that the three of them would cause trouble together.
Last time, three people ran directly to Mingyue Tower. Mingyue Tower was fine, but three or four brothels in that alley were affected and their doors were sealed.
In the past ten days, even the streets and alleys of Yancheng have been combed several times. There were not many thieves and idlers in Yancheng originally, but now they have almost disappeared.
Seeing them approaching, Yan Xiaoli lifted the curtain and poked her head out, saying with a smile: "Come in quickly."
Yan Xiaoxia is pregnant. She is now the oldest among the group. It doesn’t matter that she is the younger aunt because she is also a child.
The carriage carrying the four girls headed straight into the city.
Three of the four of them wore men's clothing. Yan Xiaoling and Yan Xiaoyan both wore shorts, with narrow sleeves tied tightly with ropes. The belts around their waists were made of leather, and were hung with daggers and purses of unique shapes. Yan Xiaoyan also strung two strings of bells, which jingled when she walked.
Seeing Wei Yang looking at her enviously, she quickly untied a string and tied it on Wei Yang's belt: "I tied an extra string on purpose because I thought you would like it."
Wei Yang looked at the bell on her waist with a smile, reached out and plucked it, it was indeed crisp and pleasant to the ear, she really liked it.
Yan Xiaoli wore a pink-white dress with an apricot-yellow gauze top, with bright eyes and elegant manners.
She is the most ladylike among the girls in the Yan family.
He is not pedantic and gets along well with Weiyang. When the two of them play chess, they feel like they have met a worthy opponent and feel a sense of mutual respect.
The four of them went to the restaurant, asked for a private room, ordered some snacks, and asked for a pot of tea. They left the maids to serve them and drove the waiter out.
As soon as she sat down, Yan Xiaoling couldn't wait to share the gossip she knew. It seemed that there was no news in Yancheng that she didn't know.
"Today the son-in-law of the Zhou family came to propose marriage."
Yan Xiaoli was also a little curious when she heard this: "Then do you know what kind of family Zhou Yuner's husband is from?"
Yan Xiaoling was very good at this, and immediately said, "It's a wealthy family in Liuzhou. They have fields and shops. The betrothal gift is also very grand. Her husband is also good-looking and handsome."
"A wealthy family, after all, is not a good match." Yan Xiaoli looked at Wei Yang hesitantly and said.
Everyone only knew that Wei Yang was a girl from the Xie family, but they didn't know whether she was a direct descendant or a side branch of the Xie family, what her family background was like, or who her parents were. Yan Xiaoli glanced at Wei Yang, fearing that Wei Yang would take her words too seriously.
Wei Yang and Yan Xiaoyan were each holding a piece of duck fat pancake and munching on it with relish. The two of them squeezed by the window, looking at the passers-by on the street and listening to Yan Xiaoling's gossip, feeling very comfortable.
"It's good enough that someone is willing to marry her. In Yanzhou, even the rich wouldn't dare to marry her."
Yan Xiaoling also took a piece of duck fat pancake and started to nibble on it. No wonder Wei Yang and Yan Xiaoyan nibbled on it so enthusiastically, it tasted really good.
"Try this pancake. It's really good. It's still hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Yan Xiaoli was still a little reserved. She took a small piece of the pancake and put it in her mouth to chew slowly. She was still thinking about Zhou Yuner: "Zhou Yuner is so strong, she might not be willing to give up."
"What can I do if I'm unwilling? Do I really want my uncle to take me back to be his concubine?" Yan Xiaoyan yelled.
"What kind of a concubine is that? How can you say that?"
Yan Xiaoyan was scolded by Yan Xiaoli, but she didn't care. She stuck out her tongue and continued to look out the window.
