When He Yan woke up this morning, her eyelids kept twitching, and her heart was flustered.
Mrs. He was going to Beijing the day before yesterday, but she came back halfway, and He Yan didn't know what happened, so she was always in a state of anxiety.
"Miss, I found out." Hua'er hurried over, and He Yan stood up straight away, "Speak quickly!"
"Miss Zhao's fate is too hard to be compatible with the eldest prince, so the emperor revoked this marriage and asked the eldest prince to marry Miss Lin, the niece of Concubine Shu, as the eldest prince concubine."
After Hua'er finished speaking in one breath, He Yan was stunned for a moment, "How could this happen?"
"Not only that, Miss Zhao was also sent to the Jokhang Temple as a nun to pray for the royal family, and..."
Hua'er hesitated to speak, not knowing whether to speak or not.
He Yan was in a hurry, "What else, tell me quickly."
"And Miss Zhao Er came to Lincheng last night, she should come to our house in a while."
After saying that, a woman came in with a graceful figure. Her originally pretty face became three points more gorgeous because of the makeup on her face. There were seven or eight hairpins on her hair, which dazzled the viewers.
This is He Yan's direct sister, He Sui, who is sixteen years old and has not been in her boudoir yet.
He Yan was puzzled, "What is Zhao Xianer doing in the city?"
He Sui raised his eyebrows, "Who knows, the big cousin is here now, maybe she came to apologize to the He family, the big cousin became a monk, the He family has nothing to do with the Zhao family, and is no longer in-laws."
He Sui changed the subject, and glanced at He Yan, "You have lived in the Zhao family for so many years, you should know it best, or did you cause some trouble in the He family, so someone came to settle accounts?"
He Yan's eyelids twitched, "What nonsense, what big mistake can I make!"
He Yan originally planned that Zhao Chanling would seek refuge after she became the eldest concubine, but in just a few days, Zhao Chanling could not protect herself, and He Yan frowned when thinking about the future.
I am used to seeing the majestic and magnificent Zhao family, the elegant environment, and the servant girl serving me comfortably, before going back to He's house unexpectedly.
He Yan is really not used to it, the He family has an aura of nouveau riche everywhere, and he can't wait to wear all the gold and silver jewelry on his body.
Even the bowls and chopsticks for eating are made of silver. The elders speak vulgarly, which is no match for the Zhao family, which has a century of history.
On the other hand, the girls of the He family, the dazzling jewelry and gorgeous clothes at first glance, not only did not give people a noble feeling, but a kind of vulgarity.
Such a comparison makes He Yan feel very uncomfortable, and her mother, who opens and closes her mouth is money, which is really annoying.
He Sui curled his lips, "If I had gone to the Zhao Mansion back then, I wouldn't be useless, and I wouldn't be able to help the He family at all."
He Sui tried every means to enter Zhao's house back then, but was ruthlessly rejected by Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. He pretended to take care of Zhao Chanling and prevent her from being bullied.
Mrs. Zhao reluctantly allowed the young He Yan to accompany her, and she stayed there for several years.
When it was replaced by He Sui, He Sui might have married the noble son of Kyoto long ago. Thinking about it this way, He Sui looked down on He Yan even more.
He Yan clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves, "Eldest sister, why bother to speak sarcastic words, elder sister is older than eldest cousin, and she is about to get married soon, and won't be able to accompany eldest cousin for a few years, besides, I can't make the decision."
He Sui glared at He Yan, "Don't take pleasure in other people's misfortune, since you failed, you are not too young now, it's time to choose a marriage for you."
He Yan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
"Clean it up. Mother told you to go there quickly. You know Miss Zhao Er very well. You can go and dismiss her, so as not to be an eyesore!"
He Sui dropped a word, turned his head and left.
He Yan's chest rose and fell slightly, and he went from heaven to hell in an instant, unable to struggle.
"Miss..." Hua'er was worried, "Did Miss Second Cousin come to trouble Miss?"
He Yan's eyeballs rolled slightly, but he couldn't tell what was going on, his eyelids twitched violently, "Who knows, go and see."
He Yan tidied up and went to the front hall, feeling uneasy, Mrs. He sat on the side, not looking good towards He Yan, her eyes seemed to dislike He Yan for being useless, wasting a great opportunity for nothing.
He Yan lowered his head, pretending not to see, glanced out of the corner of his eyes at He Baochen, who was crossing his legs and winking at Hua'er, Hua'er trembled violently, and pressed his body against He Yan.
He Yan frowned, "Why is Big Brother at home today?"
He Baochen is Mrs. He's only son. He has been spoiled since he was a child and has never been wronged. He idles around all day long. There are countless concubines in the backyard. He Baochen has slept with all the pretty maids in He's mansion.
It is very difficult for those being targeted by He Baochen to escape. If they resist, the end will be miserable. They are all maids and no one dares to speak out.
Mrs. He turned a blind eye to this, even if she played the maid to death, at most she would give the maid some money to get rid of the matter, and it has been like this for so many years.
He Baochen picked up the teacup and took a sip. After drinking, he kept smacking his lips, "I heard that there are guests from the capital. I'll stay and see if I can help."
He Baochen withdrew his expression, picked up a piece of snack on the table, and looked like he was fooling around, but he was thinking about the idea of painting in his heart.
Hua'er subconsciously grabbed He Yan's sleeve, her heart trembled violently.
"Miss."
He Yan glanced at Mrs. He's face, pursed her lips and remained silent.
He Baochen looked around, and said displeasedly, "After waiting for so long, why hasn't anyone come yet?"
Mrs. He also frowned, and scolded Zhao Xian'er, "Immature!"
He Yan stood aside with her head lowered, and He Baochen's eyes on the other side made her feel uncomfortable. When she rolled her eyes, she suddenly had an idea.
The reason why she became what she is today is all thanks to Zhao Xian'er. Zhao Xian'er was wronged, and He Yan's anger finally disappeared.
He Yan glanced at Mrs. He, "Mother, my eldest brother has not married his sister-in-law yet. According to my daughter, there are really few girls in Lincheng who are worthy of my eldest brother."
of. "
Mrs. He nodded along with her words, she had put so much thought into He Baochen's marriage, all the girls in Lincheng, big and small, would either push back or feel uncomfortable when they heard He Baochen's name.
If she lowered her requirements, Madam He was afraid that He Baochen would be wronged, either because she thought the girl was not good-looking, or because the girl's family was poor, Madam He was afraid that He Baochen would be wronged, so she kept delaying.
"It's rare for my younger sister to worry about my elder brother. Is there any suitable candidate for my younger sister?" He Baochen joked.
Mrs. He also looked at He Yan when she heard the words, "You know a lot of noble women in the capital, are there any suitable ones?"
A sarcasm flashed across He Yan's eyes very quickly. With the He family, he couldn't get a wife in Lincheng, so how dare he think about a noble girl in Kyoto
Daydreaming!
He Baochen's eyes lit up and he lowered his legs, "But it's true? If it works, I won't forget my sister in the future."
He Baochen has been to the capital once, and the girls there all have an indescribable sense of immortality, which made him want to stop, thinking about it all the time.
He Yan glanced at He Baochen, then at Mrs. He, and laughed dryly, "Where do I know the noble daughter of Jingdu? Later, when the second cousin comes, I will inquire. The second cousin is the daughter of Jing Zhaoyin, and she should be able to recognize her because of her noble status." Many noble ladies."
He Yan made a point or two.
Mrs. He first showed disappointment, and then rolled her eyes.
"The eldest uncle is very powerful, and holds many official positions in his hands. I don't know who is so lucky to be able to marry the second cousin. With the support of the eldest uncle, it is easy to find an official position."
He Yan pretended to worship in his eyes, and a gleam flashed in the depths of his eyes, which quickly disappeared.
Mrs. He was really moved by what she said. Zhao Xian'er is now the only legitimate daughter of the Zhao family. With the strength of the Zhao family, it is not difficult to win over the He family.
Mrs. He thought about it, and frowned again. If she wanted to marry Zhao Xian'er, none of Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, or Master Zhao would agree.
He Yan unintentionally leaned out again, looked outside the door and said, "Why isn't the second cousin coming? The old lady is really relieved to let the cousin come alone. What if something goes wrong."
This sentence undoubtedly woke up Mrs. He, and a meaningful smile appeared on Mrs. He's face.
When He Yan saw this, the corners of his mouth curled up.
"If it's an ugly girl, I don't even want to give it to me if I have a noble status!" He Baochen snorted, he wouldn't marry someone who can't be seen back.
He Yan smiled, "Second cousin is very beautiful, she is a famous beauty in Kyoto, she has a graceful figure, and a noble girl who can get in touch with second cousin is naturally not a bad-looking girl."
When He Baochen heard this, he couldn't wait to see Zhao Xian'er even more. He was gearing up and his neck was almost broken.
After waiting for another half an hour, just when everyone was getting impatient.
The mother-in-law who was sent by Mrs. He to invite Zhao Xianer came back.
"Where are people?" Mrs. He asked, "Why have you been here for so long?"
"It's at the back, we'll be there right away." The old woman couldn't help but complain, "It's because the second girl Zhao was late in dressing up."
The mother-in-law stood outside the door for two and a half hours. She got up early in the morning, took a quick bite and left. The mother-in-law is fatter and eats a lot every day. How could she bear it
When Mrs. He heard this, her complexion immediately sank. It was clear that she didn't take the He family seriously.
Not long after, I saw three young girls walking in calmly. Mrs. He looked up, and a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.
Not to mention He Baochen, he stood up straight away, his eyes stared straight, and his gaze wandered on the three of them.
For He Baochen, it was like a fairy descending to earth. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life.
He Yan glanced up and raised his eyes, his pupils shrank sharply, Xiao Concubine and Princess Qingle also came.
He Baochen greeted him immediately, "Cousin, I am the eldest son of the He family, you can call me cousin Chen."
He Baochen couldn't bear to look at him, his heart was full of joy, the three of them were more beautiful than the other, the one on the far left was the winner, dressed in light purple, noble and elegant, there was a touch of delicacy and a touch of charm in the brows, and the movement of the eyes was simply captivating.
He Baochen almost reached out his hand.
Zhao Xianer frowned, "Master He, please respect yourself."
Mrs. He sneered, "Miss Zhao Er is so arrogant, she only agreed to come here after being urged repeatedly. If you don't like the He family, why bother to go through this?"
"Mother." He Baochen immediately jumped out to speak for Zhao Xianer, "Maybe my cousin came late because she was tired from the journey yesterday."
Mrs. He smiled and didn't open her mouth. She didn't know the identities of Concubine Xiao and Qing Le, and she thought they were maids.
Silently, what He Yan said was indeed true, the Zhao family is rich and powerful, even a maid is so beautiful, and the clothes and jewelry on her head are no worse than Zhao Xianer, the proof lady, her heart becomes more and more determined, and she begs Zhao Xian for He Baochen The idea of a daughter-in-law.
"For your sake, mother won't say anything."
Seeing Mrs. He and He Baochen's mother and son singing together, Xiao Concubine raised her eyebrows, seeing He Baochen and Mrs. He's thoughts clearly in her heart.
In the previous life, it was He Baochen who destroyed Zhao Xian'er and made Zhao Xian'er die in depression. With her in this life, it is absolutely impossible!
He Baochen leaned forward, "It's been a long journey for my cousin, please sit down and have a cup of tea."
Zhao Xian'er frowned, "No need, I'm here to see Mrs. He, and my grandmother has a few words for me to bring to Mrs. He."
He Baochen was rejected, and he was not at all annoyed, "Since my cousin is here, what's the rush? My grandmother is not in the mansion now, and it will take two days to come back. My cousin should just settle down in the mansion. I will ask my mother to send someone to deliver a letter to my grandmother immediately." ,how?"
He Baochen looked affectionate, his eyes wandered between the three of them, not knowing what to choose.
Qingle was about to throw up, if she hadn't been dragged by Concubine Xiao, she would have rushed up to have a meal.
