The prince was very nervous in court.
During this period of time, it has been reported that there has not been much rain since spring. After summer, the weather is extremely hot, the land is dry and cracked, fearing that the summer grain will not be guaranteed, and I hope the court will consider reducing taxes.
Since ancient times, this piece of land has been a land of farming, and naturally it depends on the sky for food. There are many records of droughts and floods in all dynasties. The measures taken by the imperial court and their benefits have been confirmed many times. If you encounter any disaster, try all eighteen martial arts, and if you fail in the end, you will have to issue an imperial edict or something.
The ministers in the court quoted scriptures, nothing more than opening warehouses to release grain, opening canals to divert water, providing relief to farmers, and reducing or exempting tax burdens. The emperor was not particularly concerned: It's only been a few months? Summer has just begun, who says it won't rain? These memorials are just an excuse to ask for tax cuts. Who doesn't know that the money and food are not handed over to the capital, but left to themselves. Can farmers really pay less food? Who are you lying to? Do you think the emperor doesn't understand these tricks? Besides, there are plenty of granaries in various places now, so what is there to worry about if there is a minor drought or disaster
The court discussed for a long time, but the emperor did not implement any major measures. In the end, it is to let the localities save themselves, and did not agree to the tax cuts and other demands of various places.
Listening to the discussions of the ministers, the prince murmured in his heart: last year he played against the third prince. He bet that this year would be a bumper year and the price of grain would fall, but the third prince asked people to store grain for shortages. Why is there a drought this spring? Even if there is rain in the back, this year's harvest has already been discounted. In the market, the price of food is getting higher day by day. Does this mean that the third prince has won? Will the emperor remember what happened last year? Do you feel that you are not as accurate as the third prince
Every time a minister stated that he wanted to prepare for disaster relief, the prince would become suspicious, thinking that the other party was trying to build momentum for the third prince and vigorously exaggerated the possibility of drought. He privately memorized the names of these people one by one, and planned to keep a file when he went back. In the future, he would track down the behavior of these people, replace them if he could, and change them if he could. He could not let those who listened to the third prince stay in court .
The prince was extremely afraid that the spring drought would intensify and turn into a real drought. Seeing that the emperor was not serious, he shouted in his heart that he was lucky, and naturally he would not respond to the words of the ministers who reminded the emperor to make some preparations. He completely followed the emperor's lead, and he fully agreed with what the emperor said, and when asked what suggestions he had, he said that he would "listen to the emperor's father", or "the emperor just said..." Although this kind of humility makes the emperor like it , but the prince talked too much, and he seemed to have no idea, which made the emperor look down on him a bit.
At the end of the day, waiting for the ministers to retreat, the emperor motioned for the prince to come and see him.
When the crown prince was walking towards the imperial study room, a civil official from the East Palace rushed over and whispered to the crown prince, "Your Highness, this spring drought is coming very fiercely. We are looking forward to a good year, but we have to prepare countermeasures. Your Highness can persuade the emperor to prepare for it in advance." When preparing for disaster relief, if it really happens in a disaster year, you will not be in a hurry. You can’t wait for the crops to fail and the farmers to leave their homes before implementing emergency rescue measures. You must calm the hearts of the people as soon as possible, otherwise you may fear chaos everywhere... "
The prince frowned and reprimanded in a low voice: "Did you also listen to the fallacies of the third prince?! What kind of disaster year?! It's only been a few months of drought, what kind of disaster do you want to save?! It's really a shadow of a snake!"
The civil servant hurriedly apologized: "Your Majesty didn't think carefully, I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
The prince snorted and left, ignoring the civil servant who bowed and saluted.
The emperor sat down firmly in the imperial study, drank a cup of tea, and the prince arrived. The emperor looked at the prince and said indifferently: "You have nothing to say this day, but because you don't want to speak in front of the ministers, do you want to tell me privately?"
The prince hurriedly saluted and said: "Father is very wise, my child dare not handle an axe. Now it is only a drought in spring, and my child thinks that there is no need to worry too much. Maybe there will be plenty of rain in midsummer, and the drought will resolve itself. The grain is sufficient, even if there is no grain harvest for two years, there should be enough grain to cope with it.”
The emperor nodded in approval and said: "I also think there is no need to panic at this time. Those people are simply frightened by the disaster year, and they can't wait to go to war if there is any trouble."
The prince hurriedly said: "Father calmly dealt with it, he is really a wise king through the ages."
The emperor laughed: "My family doesn't need such compliments." But he felt very comfortable.
The prince saluted again: "Father is worthy of his name, comparable to Yao and Shun, radiant like the sun that never sets, indeed the emperor of China that has never been met in the ages."
The emperor smiled even more: "Okay, okay, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, go down!"
The prince took his leave and took a deep breath, but the worry in his heart did not diminish at all: he now hopes with all his heart that there will not be a real disaster year, lest he completely lose to the third prince in terms of self-esteem. If that's the case, what would the royal father think of him? What would the courtiers think? … —When he thought of the ending, he broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, wishing he could kneel down and beg God for help on the spot. He decided to ask his staff to entrust the monks and priests in the surrounding monasteries to pray to the heavens and pray for rain on his behalf.
Back in the courtyard of the East Palace, the eunuch reported that the fourth princess had been waiting for him for half an hour, and the crown prince wanted to ask the fourth princess if she was willing to wrong her to do "the plan is done", so he went to the living room to see the fourth princess.
"Brother Prince!" Finally seeing the prince, the fourth princess said impatiently: "I don't want to change the marriage you originally arranged for me!"
The prince sighed, and said in a low voice: "Sister also knows that neither mother nor father wants to agree to this marriage."
The fourth princess stomped her feet again and again: "I promise! You make arrangements for me!"
The prince looked around, and the palace people all retreated, the prince whispered: "Would you like... to try to use the plan that has already been done?"
The fourth princess blushed a little, but immediately said eagerly: "No matter what it is, I must have this marriage! Today I went to my uncle's house, and there were a bunch of young masters there who came to court me! One by one looked It’s just trash dim sum! I don’t want to marry those people! Pingyuanhou’s mansion is so rich! Their business is everywhere in the capital. Brother Prince, help me!”
Ever since the aides pointed out that Pingyuanhou's mansion has huge wealth, the more the prince thought about it, the more he felt that it was an excellent thing for the fourth princess to get married with Pingyuanhou's mansion. When people are unpredictable, they will deeply feel the reliability of power and money. The prince believes that if the fourth princess really becomes the eldest daughter-in-law of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion in the future, it will definitely be of great help to him. At least, in case there is another competition with the third prince in the market like last year, relying on the many businesses controlled by the Pingyuan Houfu, he can easily win.
The crown prince nodded and said: "Okay, you will meet Ji next year, we should not move too early, otherwise, if Emperor Father refuses to propose marriage because you are not ready, Marquis Ping Yuan will find a reason to shirk it if this matter fails for a day. As soon as you reach Ji next year, we will arrange that if something happens, he will be responsible immediately and get married immediately, otherwise you will seek death and life, I don't believe that the emperor forbids marriage."
The fourth princess smiled happily, and said to the prince: "Brother Prince, you are really kind!" Thinking of marrying the young man with a spring breeze and a smile that I saw today, the fourth princess felt relieved immediately, and the gloom after the disfigurement was swept away. ! Such a handsome man, such a big family business! Your future is full of sunshine! What's the use of going to make friends with the lady of Pingyuanhou's mansion if the fifth princess is mad at her? Who told her not to have a brother to be a prince!
The fourth princess could not stop laughing behind the veil, and returned to her palace. She was in such a good mood that she didn't even stop the scratched Mrs. Chai from resigning, but she was only deducted half a month's salary.
Madam Chai went home depressed, resentful that she did not get the half-month salary. If it weren't for the poor family, she wouldn't have to suffer for her livelihood and future generations at such an old age. What she originally thought was that it would be an honor to be a teacher for the princess, and she could attract more clients by playing this sign in the future, so she didn't care too much about the small amount of money raised with the queen. But now, not only did he work for half a month for nothing, his face was scratched, but he also had to hire a doctor, which cost him a lot of money.
Aunt Chai was angry for half the night, and early the next morning, she went to Pingyuanhou's mansion to ask to see Mrs. Li.
At the beginning, in order to ask Zhang Yunjin for advice from Mrs. Xi, Mrs. Li met almost all the Mrs. Xi in the capital, and Mrs. Chai also had a relationship with Mrs. Li.
Hearing that Mrs. Chai wanted to see her, Mrs. Li was puzzled. She couldn't remember this person anymore, but she was worried that Mrs. Chai would have some rumors about Zhang Yunjin, so she took a break from her busy schedule and asked someone to send Mrs. Chai to him. brought in.
Mrs. Li was startled when she saw Mrs. Chai. Mrs. Chai's face was full of scratches, some of which were scratched from her eyelids, and the corners of her mouth were cracked. Mrs. Chai saluted, and Mrs. Li hurriedly asked her to sit down. and asked with concern: "Mr. Chai, what's the matter
Mrs. Chai was wronged yesterday. After returning home, she could not shed tears in front of the younger generation. She originally wanted to complain, but Mrs. Li is always polite and touching. When Mrs. Chai was asked this question, she immediately began to cry: "Ma'am I am... because of the eldest son..."
Li Shi was startled, immediately suppressed her unhappiness, and asked politely: "What do you mean by grandma?"
Chai Mama cried and said: "Yesterday I accompanied the Fourth Princess back from the Changle Hou Mansion. When I passed the Fushun Tower, Mr. Zhang was talking and laughing with the shopkeeper there, and then he got on his horse and left. The Fourth Princess asked me who it was. At that time, there was no answer right away, so the fourth princess said that the prince would kill me. I could only tell her that it was Mr. Zhang. She was even more furious when she heard that, saying that I deliberately wanted to hide it from her, and scratched and scratched me all the way. , Kicked me out of the car when I arrived at the palace, and went to see the prince herself. When she came back, she was happy again, but I asked to resign as a teacher, and she didn't pay me half a month's salary! I still want to see the doctor, I am so miserable!... "
Mrs. Li broke out in a cold sweat, managed to keep her face calm, asked someone to fetch twenty taels of silver, and said to Mrs. Chai, "Thank you Mrs. Chai for coming to train for my young lady's teaching position. I haven't seen you for many years. Some silver is considered a reward, please take it, grandma."
Chai Mama heard that it was twenty taels, which was her two-month salary, she was overjoyed, so she stopped crying, took the money and said, "Thank you Madam for your compassion, you have to be careful..."
Mrs. Li interrupted: "Grandma, go and see the doctor, this kind of wound cut by a tree branch needs to be healed sooner." There was no mention of the fourth princess.
Mrs. Chai knew that Mrs. Li was pretending to be confused, but she brought the words and took the money, so she thanked her again with a smile, said goodbye and left.
Mrs. Li hurriedly invited Marquis Pingyuan over, and said in a low voice what Grandma Chai had said. Marquis Pingyuan was playing with the jade ball, with a sneer on his face.
Mrs. Li asked, "Master Hou, what does she mean?"
Marquis Pingyuan smiled: "No matter what she means, Madam don't have to worry, everything is up to me."
Mrs. Li sighed and said, "You haven't seen Chai Mama's face being scratched like that, as if she met a mad dog."
Pingyuan Hou laughed: "Didn't you meet a mad dog?"
Li scolded: "Don't take it seriously, if such a person marries in, there will be no peace in our house."
Marquis Pingyuan snorted: "How is it possible? What did they think of our mansion?"
------------------------------------------
"She treats your house like a fat sheep!" Shen Wen said.
That night she went to the small courtyard bought by Zhang Yunming again, this time it was Zhang Yunming who opened the door for her—Zhang Yunzheng was plastering the wall.
Shen Wen sat down, Zhang Yunming was a little depressed, his face drooped, Shen Wen asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Yunzheng gloated and said: "What else can I do? The peach blossoms are here! I heard that the fourth princess saw him and beat up the teacher like crazy, then went to see the prince, and came back happily !"
Shen Wen suddenly said: "Oh! She must be asking the prince, and the prince promised her!"
Zhang Yunzheng laughed at Zhang Yunming: "I really don't know what she asked for! Didn't she want to be your maid? The prince agreed?"
Zhang Yunming was angry: "How dare you laugh at me?! It's you who provoked me! Isn't it because you want to go there anyway?!"
Zhang Yunzheng curled his lips: "She doesn't want to marry in because she can't see you there? Don't you know what she thinks about our house?"
Shen Wen then gave a summary of the "fat sheep".
Zhang Yunzheng winked at Zhang Yunming with a smirk: "Our house is a fat sheep, you are a big piece of fat! Let them get their hands, and they will definitely make them fat."
Zhang Yunming said with some emotion: "Just because we are rich? They think that rich people are big fat pigs and should be slaughtered?"
Zhang Yunzheng glanced at Shen Wen: "Do you think so too?"
Shen Wen hurriedly said in a soft voice: "How could it be! Wasn't it for our two houses? It's not for myself, I'm not that stupid."
Zhang Yunzheng shuddered, and said sullenly, "Can you stop talking like that?! Why aren't you stupid?! What do you mean not for yourself?"
Shen Wen waved his hand: "Who didn't know that your father only wanted money, but the Li family, the richest man in Jiangnan, still married the most important eldest daughter, and added a lot of dowry."
Zhang Yunming asked: "What can you tell from this?"
Shen Wen said as a matter of course: "It can be seen that your father can not only keep the money, but also help the Li family to keep their wealth! The Li family is so rich, they must be successful businessmen. The nature of businessmen is not to do business at a loss. Investing such a good daughter and so much money in your father is not for nothing! This is not clear? It’s been almost twenty years, right? Your mother’s money is a little bit less? The Li family has never failed , it can be seen that you have not invested the wrong money. Your father must be very powerful, and I will not be so stupid as to mess with him."
Zhang Yunzheng let out his nose contemptuously, Zhang Yunming laughed: "You can see it."
Shen Wen asked: "Then what are you worried about?"
Zhang Yunming sighed: "It's not that I'm worried, it's just that I'm upset!"
Shen Wen said with a smile: "You don't have to be upset, I'll give you advice when the time comes, I'm sure you'll be fine."
Zhang Yunzheng snorted coldly: "Of course, she is a little liar, and she will definitely be better than those people."
Shen Wen looked back and glared at Zhang Yunzheng: "You can't say good things?! You little bastard! You haven't grown up at all!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Why do you want to say good things? Isn't this true? You can't tell the truth when you grow up?"
Shen Wen saw that Zhang Yunzheng couldn't get her way, so she immediately changed her approach, clapped her hands lightly and said with a smile, "I hate it, you've grown up! You're so sensible!" Since she was a child, she played tricks on the people around her to get what she wanted. Sweet talk, good words constantly, always with a false tone of voice. Say it now, in a light, provocative tone.
Zhang Yunzheng blushed immediately, ignored Shen Wen, and concentrated on wiping the wall. Shen Wen was surprised that Zhang Yunzheng was embarrassing, it seemed that he had grown up compared to the muddle-headed kid before.
Zhang Yunming smiled and handed over a bag of material, and said, "This is the material for your night clothes."
Just as Shen Wen was about to resign, Zhang Yunzheng turned his head and said with a sneer, "You won't pretend to reject such an advantage, will you?"
Shen Wen took it over and made a face at Zhang Yunzheng: "Do you want me or not?!"
Zhang Yunming clapped his hands and laughed, and Shen Wen's depression when he first came in was swept away.
Shen Wen looked at the almost completed white wall and said, "Great, I can use the secret room when I come back next time."
Zhang Yunming said: "If someone hadn't tried his best, you would have been able to come this time." Seeing Shen Wen's doubts, he pouted against the wall. Shen Wen took a closer look and yelled at Zhang Yunzheng: "Why are you rubbing back and forth?! Isn't this already very smooth?!"
Zhang Yunzheng said contemptuously: "You really have no vision! Look, here, here! There are so many bumps!"
Shen Wen stomped his feet: "This is the outer wall of the secret room! There must be furniture blocking the outside, why do you want to be so delicate! I have to start working!"
Zhang Yunzheng snorted coldly: "You didn't come here a few days ago, you must be eating and sleeping at home! I've been working here for an extra day and I've delayed you? Little liar!"
Shen Wen yelled: "Bastard! You wiped it so flat, no one will see it in the future!"
Zhang Yunzheng stared: "I just need to see it comfortably, I don't care what other people think! Leave me alone!"
Shen Wen picked up the cloth: "I don't care about you anymore, next time I come, if you are still wiping the walls, I will scratch them all for you!"
Amidst Zhang Yunming's laughter, Zhang Yunzheng shouted at Shen Wen's back: "How dare you! I'll draw a big bastard on your face!"
Zhang Yunming bent over with a smile: "She's a girl, what's the point of you drawing bastards?"
Zhang Yunzheng also stared at Zhang Yunming: "Don't worry about it! I can draw whatever I want!"
Zhang Yunming pointed at him: "Why didn't you tell her that you bought the material for her?"
Zhang Yunzheng pouted: "What do you mean buying it for her? Would she want it then? Didn't you say it? It's just a compensation for her, so she just accepts it."
Zhang Yunming raised his hand with a smile: "Okay, it's a compensation, can it be considered that I bought it for her?"
Zhang Yunzheng waved the brick knife: "Want to fight?!"
Zhang Yunming hurriedly said: "Don't hit it, don't hit it, just damage the wall a bit, and you won't put it on for ten days and a half months?"
Zhang Yunzheng wiped it angrily for a long time, and finally quit the work under Zhang Yunming's yawning urging.
Shen Wen returned to his room, gave the fabric to Su Wanniang and went to bed. When she got up the next day, Su Wanniang whispered to Shen Wen: "The material is very good, where did you get it?"
Shen Wen said: "It was given by Mr. Zhang, because that bastard soiled my night clothes, and I asked him to pay for it..." At this point, Shen Wen was startled: Zhang Yunzheng paid for it at that time, but how could it be Zhang Yunming? for yourself? Who paid for this? Normally it should be Zhang Yunzheng... But before she could think it through clearly, Su Wanniang said anxiously: "How can you be so stingy! How can you let others pay you? Your night clothes are all made of burlap I bought outside, they are worthless of."
Shen Wen said with a smile: "But you have embroidered flowers, it is so precious!"
Su Wanniang sighed: "My God! This is going to make people laugh! Are you still a lady of the Hou Mansion? You are a lady who sells broad beans! You ask for money one by one."
Shen Wen giggled and forgot what he had just thought.
Su Wanniang touched the delicate material and said: "This material will be ruined for making night clothes, it looks like a brocade night clothes."
Shen Wen said indifferently: "If you don't do it, you can't give it to the old lady and mother. If you do it, it will easily cause trouble if you put it there for nothing." There is black cloth in the little girl's room, which will arouse suspicion.
Su Wanniang felt that it was a waste of money, but she still cut it out and made night clothes for Shen Wen. Shen Wen now grows more than two inches a year, at least the pants have to be made three times a year, so as not to become suspenders.
She saw that Shen Wen brought back dried fruit last time, and this time she brought back the ingredients. She just said that Mr. Zhang looked at Shen Wen as a child, and usually gave him some food. She gave the material gracefully, but she never thought that Zhang Yunzheng bought it for her. Having said that, if you give and receive privately, don't you usually give a jade pendant or something like that? Who will give a piece of black cloth? Under the influence of the fourth prince, her vision was not wide enough, so she didn't have any suspicions.
------------------------------------------------
Yang's daily activities now are packing for Shen Jian. This is the second son she is going to send away, and Yang feels that her heart is about to die of pain.
She began to really regret marrying a military general, and the sons who had been brought up with Zhenbeihou all these years had been together less and more, and the sons who had been brought up with great difficulty were just sent to the distant border one by one.
Mrs. Yang quickly became emaciated, and gray hair appeared on her forehead before she was forty. She has a bad temper every day and often shouts when she speaks. The old lady always avoids her and doesn't usually get along with her. Because Liu Shi has to take care of most of the affairs in the mansion and has to take care of two young children, she doesn't often guard Yang Shi. Yang Shi felt ashamed of Yan Shi, so she didn't let her stand by the rules. Shen Xiang only saw each other in the morning and evening when he said hello, and then he disappeared within a day. Shen Qiang, who was only three years old, came as usual to make Yang Shi scream.
In her previous life, Shen Wen hid in her yard every day during this time, and felt that the farther away from Yang Shi the better, but in this life, she went to find Yang Shi every day, asking for this or that, and asking for a word or two.
This morning after finishing the greetings, I saw that Mrs. Yang was frowning again. Except for Shen Wen, all the children looked like they had something to leave. Yang couldn't bear it anymore, and signaled them all to leave. Because Shen Jian wanted to leave, Yan asked her to leave with Shen Jian. Mrs. Liu also resigned with her two young children. Only the old Mrs. Yang was left in the room, Shen Qiang who was about to be three years old but about the same height as a five or six-year-old child, and Shen Wen who was twisting a handkerchief on the side.
Yang frowned and looked at Shen Wen: "What do you want?"
Shen Wen moaned: "I want my mother to accept my sister Wanniang as a righteous daughter..." She deliberately picked Yang Shi to say when she was upset.
Sure enough, Yang frowned even tighter, a little embarrassed: "This..."
The old lady also looked at Yang, and Yang hesitated: Su Wanniang has been very kind to Shen Wen these years, she is really like a sister, so what if she is adopted as a foster daughter? At most, a dowry of a hundred or so would be given, and she gave her daughter a sincere friend... She nodded, and just about to agree, the old lady rushed to say: "Wen'er is going to be twelve, right? Wait two or three years Let's wait until Wen'er arrives at Jiji, then I will admit it, and I can give the two children a Jiji ceremony or something."
Mrs. Yang is too lazy to worry about things now, and her mother-in-law opened her mouth and said, "That's fine."
Shen Wen pouted slightly, looking a little disappointed, but he didn't ask again: The old lady agreed, so what's the fuss? It's just that the days are far away, the nights are long and there are many dreams, I don't know what it will be like at that time.
Shen Qiang yelled, took a cloth tiger in his hand, and climbed onto Yang's knee. The old lady smiled and said, "Qiang'er, what are you talking about? Mother?"
Yang tried her best to hug the heavy Shen Qiang to sit on her lap, and said: "It's okay not to talk, it's better not to talk for the rest of your life! It's so good to be with mother!" At the end of her speech, she began to cry.
The old lady was dissatisfied: How old are you? Still talking angry! Just when she wanted Shen Wen to help her go back, someone came to report that the Yan family's third-bedroom couple came to visit Yan, and first came to say hello to the old lady and Yang.
Mrs. Yang was afraid that the Yan family would come to Xingshi to question her: the daughter has only been married for a year and has no children, and the husband will go to the border. This is too embarrassing. He hurriedly asked someone to invite him, put Shen Qiang on his knees on the ground, got up and adjusted his clothes and headgear, and greeted him out.
Shen Wen took Su Wanniang and pulled Shen Qiang to a side hall. Shen Qiang grabbed Su Wanniang and yelled, he was too heavy, Su Wanniang couldn't hold him anymore, so he had to sit down, and Shen Qiang also climbed onto Su Wanniang's lap and sat down. , screamed twice more, and then he was honest, leaning on Su Wanniang's arm to play with his cloth tiger.
Yang's voice came from outside the house, Shen Wen walked to the door curtain and looked out quietly.
Yang let two people in. The woman must be in her thirties, with long curved eyebrows, big eyes with double eyelids, and red lips. She was dressed in colorful, red and purple cross-neck narrow-sleeved thin shirts, and the long skirt underneath was dark and light green, and she was holding a colorful handkerchief in her hand.
As soon as she came in, it was like a large flower of variegated colors flew into the room. The man next to her was thin and ordinary-looking, and his clothes were very simple, just summer light gray with a black border.
Mrs. Yang introduced to the old lady: "This is Mrs. Yan's third uncle and third aunt, Mr. Yan's third official and Mrs. Yan's third."
Both of them bowed to the old lady, and the old lady returned the gift with a smile, and hurriedly gave up her seat and said, "Please sit down!"
A few people sat down, and the old lady said: "It's summer now, you two must have worked hard to come from afar."
Mrs. Yan San said bluntly: "It's not hard, it's not hard. My husband and I walk outside all year round. This season is not bad, isn't it?" She turned to ask Yan Sanguan.
Yan Sanguan smiled and nodded: "Hey."
Mrs. Yan said again: "Old Madam, Madam, you don't know that the most difficult time to go is not now, but the coldest winter! It's snowing and windy, no matter how many clothes you wear, the cold wind blows into you. , I can't hide no matter what. Can't I?"
Yan Sanguan nodded again: "Hey."
Yang thought she was talking about the weather at the border, so her face was very embarrassed, and she forced a smile: "Since you two are here, will you stay in the capital?"
Mrs. Yan waved the colorful handkerchief in her hand, and there was a small rainbow in the sky, and said: "We came to see my niece. When she got married, we were far away and couldn't catch up. At that time, it was said that we were walking back and forth. I will visit her often, and don't be sad if you miss the wedding, right?" She looked at Yan Sanguan.
Yan Sanguan nodded: "Hey."
If we meet each other, and Yan starts to cry, will this sharp-spoken Mrs. Yan come to distinguish herself? Yang felt guilty ahead of time, and smiled apologetically: "Then I'll take you to see my second daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Yan San said "Oops" and waved her handkerchief again: "Ma'am, I still have something to do! We should be busy! Just let someone take us there, right?"
Yan Sanguan nodded: "Hey."
Mrs. Yang said to Mrs. Qian beside her: "You take the guests..."
The old lady said: "Let the Second Young Master and Madam come to see you, the elders have come so far, let them pick them up in person."
Mrs. Yan said with a smile, "Oh! Madam, you don't need to be so polite. I watched the child grow up! Isn't it?"
Yan Sanguan: "Hey."
The old lady smiled and said, "This should be the reason."
Mrs. Yang signaled Mrs. Qian that after a short while, Shen Jian and Mrs. Yan came to pay respects to Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan. Shen Jian asked Mr. Yan to go to the front, Mrs. Yan was going back to the yard with Mrs. Yan .
Waiting for Shen Jian and the others to go out, the old lady said: "Let the second young lady come out too, and meet relatives."
Mrs. Yang asked Shen Wen to come out, and Shen Wen bowed to Mrs. Yan. Mrs. Yan stretched out her hand and said, "Oh! Such a blessed child! Let me take a good look! Let's go to your second sister-in-law together. Go there, and I will tell you how to... "
Yan quickly interrupted: "Third Aunt, let's go back to the yard and talk!"
The old lady smiled and said: "Go, go, Second Miss will do her part for us."
Mrs. Yan also smiled: "You are so polite, she is so young, just go and laugh together."
Su Wanniang walked out with great difficulty being held by Shen Qiang's thighs, and wanted to go with Shen Wen. The third Mrs. Yan saw Su Wanniang's eyes widened, and said in surprise: "Oh! Such a beautiful girl, this is not as good-looking as the painting Ah!" Looking at Shen Qiang again: "Oh! Such a strong child, is he six or seven years old?!"
The old lady was happy when she said that: "Xu Sui is only four years old."
Mrs. Yan San was shocked: "How is it possible?! You are kidding me!"
The old lady laughed: "Really!"
Mrs. Yan waved her handkerchief: "Oh! You are such a powerful general."
Yang Shi was afraid of hearing this now, so she came over and pulled Shen Qiang hard, Shen Qiang yelled, but Yang Shi still pulled him away. Only then did Su Wanniang bow to Mrs. Yan.
Mrs. Yan took Mrs. Yan, Shen Wen and Su Wanniang to Yan's yard together. Mrs. Yan chirped along the way: "Before I came, your parents asked me to tell you that if you need help Yes, you don't have to be polite, just tell me..."
Yan listened with a smile, looking shy and obedient, but when she entered her yard and the house, as soon as the door was closed, Yan's tears came out, and she said to Mrs. Yan, "Third Aunt, you are lucky to come Already!"
Third Mrs. Yan waved her handkerchief exaggeratedly: "Oh! Don't dare to cry! It would be so ugly to have big swollen eyeballs from crying! There will be wrinkles under the eyes in the future! We girls can't look old..."
Yan stomped her feet: "Don't talk about wrinkles, I can't live anymore!"
Mrs. Yan San glanced at Shen Wen, and Yan cried and said, "She knows me."
Mrs. Yan San lowered her voice and said: "Isn't it that my uncle is going to the border? Ouch! That young man is so handsome! I really didn't teach you in vain! Those two elm heads in my family are not as good as you!" Vision? I asked them to meet a few, and they didn't like the one I chose..."
Yan stamped her feet again: "Third Aunt!"
Mrs. Yan San hurriedly said: "Oh! I mean, even if my uncle is gone, you should go too!"
Shen Wen was dumbfounded, she now knew where Yan's courage came from.
Yan cried: "I want to too, but he said that it won't work in the next two years, and I have to wait until my sister-in-law is fourteen years old."
Mrs. Yan was puzzled: "What does this have to do with your sister-in-law?"
Yan raised her head with tears in her eyes: "Third Aunt, you must help me! Otherwise I will die! Really, I will die!"
Mrs. Yan San was terrified: "Yeah! What nonsense are you talking about! As long as you live, you can do anything, how can you say you can't die?! Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"
