In the afternoon, a guest suddenly came to Yan's residence—the most famous local matchmaker Zhang.
Matchmaker Zhang held a handkerchief in her hand, and before she saw Yan Jiahe, she yelled, "Master Yan, I'm overjoyed! I'm overjoyed! I'm here to announce the good news to you."
Yan Jiahe was tasting wine with Yan Shi, and the servants took her to a room and asked her to sit and wait for Yan Jiahe.
Matchmaker Zhang was so loud that Fang Xi and Hua Ling, who were squatting in the yard and playing digging, heard it.
Fang Xi walked into the room curiously and asked, "What kind of reward?"
Matchmaker Zhang pursed her lips and smiled: "I am here to say kiss to Master Yan."
Fang Xi didn't understand: "What is kissing?"
Matchmaker Zhang waited for Yan Jiahe to be bored, so she chatted with Fang Xi a few words: "It is said that marriage is to bring two people together. If the marriage is completed, it is time to get married. Marriage means two people live together and live together." Zhang Matchmaker I was in a good mood today, so I explained it mercifully.
"Just like my brother and I." Hua Ling added from the side.
Fang Xi was thoughtful: "Is that also like brother Yan and me?"
Matchmaker Zhang covered her mouth and laughed for a while: "Silly boy, what are you talking about. This is different from you and Master Yan. Master Yan hasn't married yet."
"Marriage?" Fang Xi was a little confused by what she said, obviously he and Brother Yan also lived together, so why couldn't they be married, "Then what is marriage?"
Matchmaker Zhang held back her smile: "Come on, what am I talking to you about here. You already know that Master Yan is going to get married, and there must be a mistress in this Yan's mansion."
"Another person coming?" Fang Xi wondered, "Does this person have no parents like me? Is he always hungry? That's why Brother Yan let him come to the mansion?"
"Bah, bah, bah! What nonsense are you talking about? His parents are here." Matchmaker Zhang spit three mouthfuls and continued, "Please let me kiss this person. He is also a respectable person here. It’s delicacies from mountains and seas.”
"Then he has a father and a mother, and he can eat enough, so why does he still come to Brother Yan's house? Isn't it good to stay at home?" Fang Xi's mind was a little overwhelmed.
"Of course I'm here to live with Master Yan." When Matchmaker Zhang said this, the smile on her face was gone, and her words were perfunctory, "Forget it, you fool can't understand what I said about life. You just know that Master Yan is going to get married, and after they get married, they will be a family, they will live together happily, and they will have many lively and lovely children."
Fang Xi understood what she said, and her face became a little anxious: "If Brother Yan is married to someone else, will he have to play with that person? Will he also read short stories to that person when he sleeps at night? "
Matchmaker Zhang took a sip from her teacup and glanced at him: "Master Yan is a benevolent person, don't worry, even if he gets married, he won't drive you out of the house, you won't starve to death. As for the others, wait After he gets married, naturally he won't be around you anymore."
"Then how can it work! This won't work!" Fang Xi yelled suddenly, and when he looked into his eyes, he was already full of tears, but he stubbornly didn't let them fall.
Matchmaker Zhang rolled her eyes: "Look at what you said, because of you, can Master Yan not marry a wife, and spend his whole life with you as a fool? It's a fantasy."
"Don't say any more." Hua Ling said suddenly.
"What? Why can't I tell?" Zhang Matchmaker obviously didn't take Hua Ling seriously, "I don't tell this idiot he would know? After living in this mansion for a few days, he really regards himself as his master? Ridiculous."
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Hua Ling put away all the naive look on her face, and stared at Zhang Matchmaker with a gloomy face and eyes like hooks.
Zhang Matchmaker shuddered all over when he looked at her. She still had that pretty face, so why did she look so frightening now? Matchmaker Zhang tightened her grip on the handkerchief, raised her seat on the chair a little, and was ready to rush out the door.
At this moment, only listening to the distant transmission
There was a sound of footsteps, and then Yan Jiahe walked in, and Hua Ling quickly put away the hostility emanating from her body.
As soon as Fang Xi saw Yan Jiahe, she ran in front of him a few steps, looked at him with tears in her eyes, and ran out of the door quickly before Yan Jiahe recovered.
Yan Jiahe wanted to chase him, but Hua Ling walked over slowly and said that he was going to chase Xiaoxi, and asked him to finish the matter before going there. Before leaving, he thoughtfully closed the door for them.
"Oh, master Yan, you are here." Matchmaker Zhang smiled obsequiously when she saw Yan Jiahe, "I have brought you a very happy event today."
Yan Jiahe frowned and said, "Why did Matchmaker Zhang say such a thing?"
Matchmaker Zhang winked and smiled: "Master Yan, why are you pretending to be confused? Could it be that he is shy? I, Matchmaker Zhang, come to visit at the mansion. What else can I do except to say goodbye to someone?"
Yan Jiahe was alienated but reasonable: "Matchmaker Zhang, please go back, someone Yan doesn't want to get married right now."
Matchmaker Zhang didn't expect this to happen, and the smile on her face froze: "Master Yan, what did you say? I said something bad, you are not young anymore, and it's time to start a family."
Yan Jiahe made an excuse: "I'm going to take the imperial examination next year, and I'll talk about getting married after I'm in high school."
"Master Yan, there is no conflict between getting married and taking the imperial examination. It is not for you to get married now, you should settle the marriage first," Zhang Matchmaker continued to lobby, "I will get married after you are in high school next year. It's not very good that Dengke has caught up."
"Matchmaker Zhang." Yan Jiahe said, "You don't need to intervene in my affairs. If you have nothing else to do, please go back. I still have things to do."
"Hey—Master Yan." Matchmaker Zhang shouted again, "Don't you want to know who asked me to be the matchmaker? Maybe you know, and you should agree."
Yan Jiahe was not interested at all, so he stood up from his chair and walked outside: "It's the daughter of Jia Jieyuan's family, Miss Jia Yanjia!" Seeing that he really wanted to leave, Matchmaker Zhang hurriedly yelled out. She, Matchmaker Zhang, is the best matchmaker in this town. She has never failed to secure a matchmaker for decades, and she will never let Yan Jiahe smash her own brand. Besides, Jia's family paid a lot for their hard work, and she didn't want to pay it back.
Yan Jiahe was unmoved, but turned around and said, "Matchmaker Zhang, please go back and tell Ms. Jia that Yan has been loved by the wrong person, and Yan is not worthy of her."
After all, the door has been pushed out.
Besides, after Fang Xi ran out, the tears she had endured for a long time finally fell, and she cried loudly.
Seeing that he was almost crying, Hua Ling finally said, "Don't cry."
Fang Xi sniffled: "Brother Yan is getting married, he doesn't want me anymore."
"Why don't you want your elder brother Yan to get married?" Hua Ling asked back, "Is it because you are afraid that if he gets married, you will live the life of not having enough to eat and not to wear warm?"
Fang Xi paused, then shook her head frantically: "No, no. I, I, I can eat anything. I just, just..." Just what? Fang Xi couldn't tell.
Hua Ling was not in a hurry to urge him, after a while, Fang Xi finally knew what she wanted to say: "I just think that Brother Yan will be with someone else, and my heart hurts."
Fang Xi put her hands on her chest while talking: "It hurts right now."
"Do you want to be with him all the time?"
"Yeah." Fang Xi nodded desperately, "I want to be with him all the time, and I don't want to have other people by Brother Yan's side."
Hua Ling leaned her back against the wall and put her arms around her shoulders: "Then you should marry him."
"I'm married to Brother Yan?" Fang Xi didn't expect it to be like this, and said this with a bit of caution.
"Yes." Hua Ling said happily, "Since you don't want him to marry someone else, then you should marry him."
Fang Xi was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook her head and hands desperately and said: "No, no. I can't marry Brother Yan, I don't have parents. Just now Zhang Matchmaker said that only parents can be married.
Married to Brother Yan. "Fang Xi remembered Zhang Matchmaker's saying that the person who asked her to marry had a father and a mother, so she mistakenly thought that only those whose parents were alive could marry Yan Jiahe.
As she said that, Fang Xi suddenly tugged at the red string that had been hanging around her neck, and a jade pendant was tied under the red string. He held it in his hand carefully: "I heard from my mother that this is the only thing left to me by my biological parents. As long as it is there, I can find them. If, if only I could find them , I will have parents again, and I can marry Brother Yan."
Hua Ling's eyes glanced at the jade pendant, and he saw that it was not bad, but it was not just a jade pendant that was too valuable. He said again: "Matchmaker Zhang lied to you just now, no matter whether you have parents or not, you can get along with me." Your brother Yan is married."
"Lied to me?" Fang Xi didn't know why, "Why did she lie to me?"
Hua Ling said: "Of course you are not allowed to marry your brother Yan, so that others can marry him. If you don't believe me, go ask your brother Yan, you said you want to marry him, and see what he says. "
Hua Ling is someone who has experienced it, he can see that Yan Jiahe's Fang Xi is different, maybe even he himself has not discovered his own feelings for Fang Xi. Well, he wouldn't mind giving them a hand.
"Brother Hua Ling, you are right." The more Fang Xi thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, and she helped to stuff the jade pendant into her clothes again, "Then I will go to Brother Yan and ask, and I will come back and tell you as soon as I have any news."
Fang Xi wiped away her tears, turned around and left, Hua Ling set her eyes on a house, with a smile on her face, it was time for him to find his brother.
Jia Fu.
Jia Kaiming slapped the table, shaking the lid of the teacup on the table and jumped a few times: "This Yan Jiahe is really unreasonable!"
Zhang Matchmaker stood on the ground and shivered in fright: "Master Jia, don't be angry, let me think of a way."
Jia Kaiming also felt a little disrespectful, and waved his hand: "Matchmaker Zhang, go back first, I'll think about it later."
In fact, Jia Kaiming didn't agree with this marriage very much, but his daughter fell in love with him. Jia Yan admired Yan Jiahe for a long time, but she was always embarrassed to speak up. She saw Yan Jiahe again yesterday, and after returning home, she was very upset.
Jia Kaiming rubbed his temples with his hands, walked up and down the study room irritably, his eyes fell on a black box inadvertently. Then he walked over there slowly, he opened the black box, and there was only a piece of jade lying quietly inside.
If Fang Xi had been there, he would have found that this jade pendant was a pair with his.
At night, when Hua Ling saw Yan Jiahe and Fang Xi again, he could tell at a glance that the atmosphere between the two was different from usual.
Hua Ling had an idea in mind, and asked, "Xiaoxi, what happened?"
Fang Xi replied shyly: "Brother Yan said he wants to marry me, and I will find someone to watch the day tomorrow."
Yan Shi was not surprised by this result at all, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Brother Yan."
Brother Yan also clasped his fists in return. In fact, if it weren't for today's incident, he wouldn't know when he would be able to see through his heart. Thinking about it, I was really stupid, if I didn't like it, why would I do these things for him
Yan Jiahe thought that Jia Kaiming would make trouble for him, but he didn't expect that there was no movement in Jia's house until the next day, and Yan Jiahe felt relieved.
The days of Yan Jiahe and Fang Xi have also been set, saying that there were no good days before the year, so they are set for the next year. Hua Ling felt that it was a pity that she couldn't attend their wedding. Yan Jiahe bought some candy in advance and used it as wedding candy.
In the afternoon, Hua Ling was a little drowsy, Yan Shi was with him in the room, and suddenly a servant from the Yan Mansion came to report: "Young Master Yan, Master Jia is here and wants to see you."
Hua Ling heard the servant's words, rubbed her eyes and raised her head slightly, and asked in a nasal voice, "Brother, I heard someone looking for you."
It was a little hot in the room, and Hua Ling was also a little hot when she was sleeping. Now her little face was flushed, Yan Shi couldn't hold back, and pecked lightly on that pretty little face: "Go to sleep first, I'll go out and have a look, I'll be back later stay with you again
. "
Hua Ling's heart was like tens of thousands of fireworks, which bloomed brilliantly and exploded, making him a little dizzy. After sleeping in the same bed with Yan Shi for so long, can he say that the two of them just slept under the quilt? The most excessive move was to hug each other, Hua Ling wanted to kiss Yan Shi, but he had no desire for lust. It was the first time Yan Shi kissed him just now, if Yan Shi wasn't still around, Hua Ling would have wanted to howl loudly, he was so happy!
Hua Ling's heart has been turned upside down, but he pretended to be calm on the surface, secretly thinking in his heart that negative distance contact should be put on the agenda.
"I want to go with you too." Hua Ling said and was about to crawl out.
Yan Shi hurriedly wrapped him up in a small quilt, and pressed him on the bed: "Don't run around when you wake up, be careful if you catch a cold, I will go back as soon as I go."
Hua Ling thought for a while but didn't insist anymore, hugged Yan Shi's waist: "Brother, then you should come back quickly."
After coaxing the little princess, Yan Shi left with the servants of Yan's mansion. He was also a little strange, if Jia Kaiming wanted to find Yan Jiahe alone? What are you looking for? Could it be that he was allowed to be a lobbyist and Yan Jiahe agreed to marry his daughter
Just thinking about it, it has arrived.
Yan Jiahe was talking to Jia Kaiming, while Fang Xi sat on the sidelines and stared at Jia Kaiming vigilantly, as if trying to gouge out a few pieces of flesh from his body with his eyes.
"Master Yan, you're here." Jia Kaiming stood up and cupped his fists at Yan Shi.
Yan Shi also bowed back. For some reason, from the moment he saw Jia Kaiming, Yan Shi felt that this person was a little different from yesterday, but he couldn't tell what was different.
After the few people were seated again, Yan Shi cut to the chase and said, "I don't know what Master Jia called someone to come here?"
"To be honest, I'm here to say goodbye to my little girl." Jia Kaiming said with some embarrassment, "My little girl was depressed after being rejected yesterday. I'm just such a daughter. I really can't bear to see her like this. After thinking about it After I left, I came to the door with an old face on my face. Mr. Yan, you are from the imperial city, and you are well-informed. You know, my daughter needs a family background and looks. Yan Juren married her, right? You will suffer, therefore, I would like to ask you to persuade Yan Juren as well."
Fang Xi was so angry when she heard this, she snorted: "My brother Yan won't marry your daughter, brother Yan wants to marry me, you should go back quickly, I hate to see you!"
"This..." Jia Kaiming didn't know whether what Fang Xi said was true or not.
Yan Jiahe said: "It's true. The date set this morning is set on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Master Jia, thanks to the wrong love."
"But, but him, he is a fool..." Jia Kaiming said in disbelief.
Yan Jiahe looked at Fang Xi with eyes full of love: "As long as I like it, that's fine."
"Alas! It seems that the little girl does not have this blessing." Jia Kaiming patted the armrest of the chair angrily, "In that case, I have nothing to say."
Yan Shi looked Jia Kaiming up and down a few times, and always felt that the Jia Kaiming in front of him was different from the ones he had seen before. The Jia Kaiming I saw before was arrogant and domineering, defiant and uttered evil words, but today this one is much gentler.
Yan Shi gradually turned his gaze to his hands, but Jia Kaiming's hands were covered by the wide sleeves, making it difficult for him to see clearly.
Jia Kaiming sighed heavily and seemed to remember something, he quickly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and asked the servant to show it to Yan Shi: "By the way, Mr. Yan, this is the poem I wrote after you left that day. You point out one or two."
Yan Shi opened the paper, and what came into view was a seven-character quatrain, the handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and it looked like it had been practiced, and the poetic context was beautiful, which was also good.
Yan Shi praised a lot, and finally a little smile appeared on Jia Kaiming's face, so he took the opportunity to talk about poetry and songs with Yan Shi for a while, Jia Kaiming is so talented, he really is a Jie Yuan.
Jia Kaiming stayed for almost half an hour before he left, and Yan Shi squinted his eyes as he watched his back.
When he returned to the room, Hua Ling was soundly asleep with the quilt kicked off. Yan Shi didn't feel sleepy at all, and Jia Kaiming was still in his heart.
I can't sleep even more. However, just now he promised the little princess to take a nap with him, so he couldn't keep his word, so he took off his shoes and lay down next to Hua Ling.
