After Chen's uproar, the little energy that the old lady had finally cultivated was gone.
In the middle of the night, Rong An Tang was arguing for a doctor, saying that the old lady was not good.
All the courtyards were lit up again, all dressed in clothes and hurried to Rong'an Hall. I asked the doctor again and boiled the medicine again, and I kept tossing the next morning before I stopped.
At the same time, Xue Shi and others were still worried about what happened to the old lady. After the middle of the night, they could see that the old lady was doing it. As the heaven and the earth, the Chen family was originally responsible, but being tossed by the old lady, it shows that she is not here.
Look how miserable the old lady is, a lot of age, being tossed into this state by her children. In the early years, he tried his best to manage all the affairs of the house. The children in the family were not considerate, did not give birth, and sat on the mountain, so that the family business fell, and now he blames the old mother. Regardless of his illness, he started making noise in front of his bed, so that his condition worsened and he almost died.
This behavior of the old lady generally shows this meaning.
Xue Shi was glad that her man was calm and persuaded her several times, but she didn't become this early bird. The third master Yan Qu didn't look very good all night. Chen's eyes were red and swollen, and he was described as a mess. He shrank to the side and didn't dare to speak. Shen Yiyao took Yan Yan and sat aside, also silent. Originally, there was no need for juniors to come, but Yan Yan was afraid that Shen Yiyao would not be able to cope with such a scene alone, so she stayed up all night without sleep to accompany her.
When Yan Ting stepped into Rong'an Hall, what he saw was such a scene.
After learning what happened, Yan Ting's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Zhao's mother was sobbing and complaining: "Since the old Houye passed away in the early years, the situation in the house has always been deteriorating, and the three masters are also aware of the situation in the house. These years have not made any profit, only relying on the ancestral property, so many people in a family are like this. If you spend too much, you will not be able to make ends meet. The situation in the mansion was not good a few years ago, so the old lady ordered to reduce expenses, so there were many incidents, of course, needless to mention. The old lady has to take care of both face and inside. , where can I support it..."
This remark made everyone silent, even if they knew that this was confusing, they did not dare to refute.
Without him, the old lady almost died because of this, no matter what happened inside, at least on the surface.
Who wants to put on the name of a mother (mother-in-law) who is mad at her property? Unless he (she) is not ready to be a man in the future! This is why Yan Zhiming knew that things were not that simple, but kept silent.
Daxi puts filial piety first, and the word 'filial piety' alone is enough to crush many people!
"Okay, needless to say!" Yan Ting interrupted with a wave of his hand, and said solemnly, "How is the old lady now?"
Mother Zhao wiped away her old tears and cried: "Yesterday, the old lady was stimulated, and she almost couldn't hold it in the middle of the night. She asked the doctor to take medicine, but it's all right now. The doctor said that the old lady can't take it anymore. Stimulate."
"Second brother, I have no way to discipline me!"
Compared with Chen's, Yan Qu's mind is much simpler, because Chen's ignorance and angry with his mother, he naturally feels quite guilty. Sanfang's family property is important, but no matter how important it is, it can't be more important than a word of filial piety. No matter what Yan Qu thinks in his heart, at least it must be so on the surface.
Yan Ting didn't speak, turned around and went to the inner room.
On the bed inside, the old lady opened a pair of turbid old eyes. After seeing Yan Ting, she whispered something. She also seemed to know that there was talk of family property outside, and she was quite worried.
The old lady was doing her best, dragging her sick body to act in such a near-death drama. The family business of Weiyuan Hou's mansion used to be in charge of the old lady, but now she is sick in bed and can't even speak, plus the events of yesterday, it is enough to expose these things. The old lady worked hard for Yan Ting.
How could Yan Ting not understand the key points, including the fact that the old lady used to talk about the lack of wealth in his family, and even why he sold his ancestral property, he also understood the reasons.
Just for him!
"Mother, it's your son who is tired of you!"
There is a saying that when a man has tears, he doesn't flick it, just because he hasn't reached the sad part!
Yan Ting knelt in front of the old lady's bed, holding his scrawny hand, his voice trembling, and the man's tears slowly fell down his face.
The old lady kept shaking her head, although she was speechless, Yan Ting understood what she meant.
For your important affairs, for the mother's not tired!
Similar to this, the old lady has said to Yan Ting countless times, but it has never made him more sad, desolate, desolate or even resentful of the injustice of fate than this time.
Looking back suddenly, after going around for nearly 20 years, what did he get
Deliberately trying to climb up, it seems to still stay in place. Even after losing his ancestral property, he himself has fallen into such a sad situation...
…
No one knew what kind of mental torture Yan Ting went through, but when he stepped out of the old lady's room, he regained his former composure.
The sum of all the money on the manor's account now is only more than a thousand taels. Because of the previous incident, Chen shi did not dare to mention it.
Fortunately, within two days, Yan Ting took back five thousand taels of silver and put it on the account, which was a relief to many people.
The only two shops that were left were collected by Yan Ting into his own hands, as well as Xuntian of Weiyuan Hou's mansion, which were all the foundations of the mansion today. The Chen family still manages the family, but does not care about the income. Yan Ting said that he will find a way after the Fuzhong charges.
Weiyuan Hou's mansion returned to calm again, except for Shen Yiyao who was busy with her daughter's dowry day by day, and Xue's family, who was worried about setting up a marriage for Yan Ru.
Given the current situation in the manor, it is estimated that it is impossible to count on the Gongzhong to give the girls dowry money. Shen Yiyao didn't hold such hope, but Xue's face was frowning for several days. Fortunately, at the end of the year, the ready-to-wear store she partnered with Shen Yiyao sent dividends, which was a relief.
Now Chen shi is very quiet, and it seems that he has returned to the way he was before the housekeeper.
It is said that the third master has never given her a good face. If it wasn't for the two girls from the third room to stop her that day, Yan Qu almost broke her off. A few days later, Yan Qu lifted a concubine up.
The relationship between Yan Qu and the Chen family has always been good. Yan Qu is a kind person. Even though the Chen family has not raised a son all these years, he has never had any thoughts of taking a concubine. This time, the concubine was chosen from the girl next to her. It is said that she is a good man. It seems that Yan Qu is not ready to bear it anymore. This time, she is going to give birth to a son.
No one knows if the Chen family is in trouble. However, when we meet on weekdays, it can be seen that Chen's complexion is not good, and he seems to have a lot of worries.
In the blink of an eye, the new year has come.
This year, Weiyuan Hou has been quieter than ever.
The old lady is sick in bed, Yan Ting seems to be very busy on weekdays and is often not in the house. Even if he occasionally appeared in the mansion, his appearance was so gloomy. It seemed that what happened that time completely stimulated him and changed his whole person.
The New Year's Eve is a reunion dinner served at Rong'an Hall.
When the old lady was away, it seemed that everyone was in no mood to eat. Yan Ting took two bites, then put down his chopsticks and went into the room to accompany the old lady. Now it seems that only the old lady can make him feel more at ease in the whole house. .
The rest of the people dispersed, and Shen Yiyao took Yan Yan and Yan Mo back to Jinseyuan to watch the new year.
Compared with other places, Jinseyuan is much more lively. The yard was decorated with lanterns, and the faces of the maids and ladies who came and went were filled with joy. Shen Yiyao is a generous person, not to mention giving two extra months of money to the servants during the Chinese New Year, many people are rewarded with money. Compared with the other servants in Weiyuan Hou's mansion a few years ago, it is not bad, not to mention the current situation in the mansion. People from Jinseyuan and Ningxiang Pavilion.
After a few minutes, they went back to their houses to rest.
After today, it is a new year.
On the second day of the first day of the new year, Shen Yiyao returned to the Duke's Mansion with his two children.
There was no Yan Ting this time, Shen Yiyao did not inform Yan Ting, and Yan Ting did not propose to accompany Shen Yiyao back to her mother's house or anything. The two had not spoken for a long time, as if they were passersby.
This time Shen Yiyao was not turned away by her parents' family. Mrs. Zhen Guogong wiped away tears of joy when she saw Shen Yiyao and her two grandsons. Zhen Guogong looked complicated, but didn't say anything, just like what happened a few years ago. It has long since vanished.
The three mother and son spent a very lively day in the mansion of Duke Zhenguo. Mrs. Zhenguo and Mrs. Shen dragged Shen Yiyao and asked how Yan Yan's dowry was going, until they heard Shen Yiyao describe in detail, Just let go.
The Shen family also knew about what happened in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.
Mrs. Zhen Guo snorted disdainfully, and didn't even bother to talk about it. Mrs. Shen's face was full of contempt. Mrs. Zhen Guo once again wiped away her tears and said that if she had been tougher back then, her daughter would not have to suffer such a crime.
It seems that Shen Yiyao is living a good life now, and she and her children can have a good life with the dowry alone, but what woman doesn't want to be protected by a man who knows both cold and hot, although she now thinks about it. Kai, but living with Yan Ting is not as good as a passerby.
Shen Yiyao didn't feel anything at all, in her thoughts, everything she is now is only for her two children. Just like what I said before, the coldest time has passed, but it's just an occasional wind and rain, so what? ! But in the eyes of others, it is quite unbearable, after all, the one who loves you most in this world is always your family.
Mrs. Shen suggested to let Shen Yiyao reconcile.
It's not uncommon for Heli to be in Daxi. With the background of the government of Zhenguo, it is not difficult for Shen Yiyao to remarry.
However, Shen Yiyao refused, and the reason is self-evident.
Even if Yan Yan is going to get married soon, there is still a young Yan Mo, and Weiyuan Hou's mansion is in the same situation now. Mrs. Shen also understood the reason, but couldn't help but say so.
Shen Yiyao asked about her eldest brother Shen Dong, and Mrs. Zhen Guogong said that her eldest son had not been home for the New Year for several years. The border has not been very calm in the past two years, and the Beiyi clan is eager to move. As the chief soldier guarding the Pingsha Pass, how can he leave easily, and the other people in the big room have not returned.
Not only did the people from the big house not come back, but also the eldest son of the second house, Shen Qi.
Shen Qi has not returned for several years. It is said that he traveled to Ryukyu and seemed to have met Shen Xuan once. There is no need to worry about safety. The children of the Duke of Zhenguo go out and have someone to support them, but Mrs. Shen will still be worried. And the eldest son is not too young now, how can he not be married all the time.
The Duke of Zhen Guo sighed and sighed that he didn't come back. The Duke of Zhen Guo's mansion was originally a fire to cook oil. In the past two years, several princes have grown up, and they have been secretive for a long time. These old guys are okay. Live the charter. When the little one is back, if he gets involved, it will cause trouble.
After all, with the status of Duke Zhenguo's mansion, even if he stayed in the mansion and didn't provoke people, who would know if the incident would provoke him or not. It's like Yan Yan, who is just a granddaughter, but because of the government's government, she was involved in the previous incidents.
The people in the township government have seen too many such things, and they have been passed down from generation to generation, and they already know how to avoid disasters. Including Shen Qi, Duke Zhen Guo also prepared to let him go out of Beijing after the New Year. One is for experience, and the other is to avoid the right and wrong in Beijing.
Mentioning this, Mrs. Shen's eyes were hazy again. She hadn't slept peacefully for a long time because of this. Every time she dreamed, she would dream that her son would encounter various dangers outside. It was the same when Shen Chen went out back then, but now he has experienced it again.
But you all know that this is for your own good and for the good of your family. As the heir of the Duke Zhenguo's family, you have enjoyed its honor, and at the same time, you have to assume your due responsibilities.
Speaking of these, Shen Yiyao was a little worried that Yan Yan's marriage to the fourth prince would bring disaster to the family.
There will certainly be some right and wrong, but Duke Zhen Guo is not worried.
What happened in the palace had not been hidden from his eyes, that fourth prince was a clever man since he was a child. A few days ago in the palace, she made that appearance, fearing that Yan Yan would be wronged in the marriage when the Ministry of Internal Affairs saw someone serving food. In addition, it is not a kind of acting, a prince who is as stupid as a pig and quite unpromising, even if he marries the granddaughter of the government of the town, he will not be a threat.
Mud is mud after all, even if you force him to stick to it, he won't be able to get on the wall.
The Crown Prince and Concubine Xu, who were still a little worried at first, after these days of observation and yesterday's New Year's Eve, the Fourth Prince once again made a fool of himself in public, and no one was willing to pay attention to him. Because of this, Emperor Xi was furious, not only reprimanded the fourth prince, but also the concubine of the fourth prince's mare was implicated and demoted to a talented person.
Since this happened just yesterday, many people who are not well informed do not know about it. How could Duke Zhen Guo be someone else? As soon as the incident happened, it was passed into his ears.
When Yan Yan heard this, she scolded Luo Huaiyuan for being so careless and worried about his condition.
Also worried is Shen Yiyao.
She didn't think of anywhere else, but wondered if the child in Yuan'er had been in another person's way. Naturally, she didn't know that Luo Huaiyuan committed the crime knowingly. After all, he has also made a lot of limelight these days. If the limelight is too grand, people will hate him. He also wants to marry the little princess to live his own stable life!
"You don't have to worry about the other side, the other side has more discretion than you. I see that he is not a stupid person, and he knows how to hide his edge. The prince can leave the capital and join the vassal when he is an adult, and he will be fine after these few years."
That's all I can think of now.
And Luo Huaiyuan, the protagonist of the topic at this time, was riding a carriage to the Fourth Prince's Mansion in a dreary moment.
He was kicked out. Yesterday, he made an ugly appearance in public. Considering that the occasion was wrong, his cheap father didn't have any trouble with him. That night came the news that his mother was downgraded to a talented person, and then he was reprimanded by the servant sent by the cheap father.
No, I was kicked out of the palace early this morning.
He pretended to beg to see Qiqi's father, and wanted to beg for forgiveness, but Qiye's father was even more annoyed at him, so he told him to get out of the palace on the spot.
So he went away.
Xiao Anzi's face was like a mourning examination, but Luo Huaiyuan was half lying in the carriage with Erlang's legs crossed, very leisurely.
"Your Majesty, can we not do it!"
Now Xiao Anzi, under the leadership of Luo Huaiyuan, has quite his demeanor, and it is obviously a remonstrance, but it makes him say a funny effect.
Luo Huaiyuan knocked him a chestnut. Cold loneliness.
Xiao Anzi rubbed her head, "First of all, Xiao Anzi's whole family died, otherwise they would not have entered the palace. There is no milk, so there is no grandmother's legs. Besides, you will be laughed at like this, pass it on carefully. In Miss Yan's ears, she despised you."
Xiao Anzi is now well versed in the way of hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, and every case is flawless, making Luo Huaiyuan grit his teeth with hatred, but he has to admit that he is right.
I don't know if the little princess has heard of that incident, will she think he is stupid, or laugh at him or despise him
Even though he thought it was unlikely, Luo Huaiyuan was a little worried. After returning to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, he didn't think about tea and rice for a whole day, and Xiao An Zile laughed, so he didn't remind him to eat. In Xiao Anzi's mind, his house was far more accumulated than others, so he would be fine if he didn't eat for a day, and he could even lose some meat.
Luo Huaiyuan, who was very troubled, naturally did not understand the strange thoughts of the little servant. He thought about it for a long time before he made up his mind.
So, on this big winter day when the water was dripping into ice outside, the wind was blowing and it was dark and moonless. Luo Huaiyuan was wrapped into a ball and appeared in Yan Yan's boudoir.
There was only a small lamp in the corner of the huge room, emitting a halo-yellow light. The temperature inside the house is suitable, warm, but not dry. The halo-yellow light is reflected on the decorations in the room, exuding a faint golden light, and a faint fragrance permeates the entire space, making people fascinated by the smell.
The little princess' boudoir!
Luo Huaiyuan screamed in his heart, and he never felt that his behavior was correct like this time.
The maid of the night watch was sound asleep outside, and the room was very quiet. Luo Huaiyuan tiptoed to the bed. He should have woken up Yan Yan, but his body responded faster than his brain, so he went there involuntarily.
He secretly lifted the curtain outside the bunk bed, and there was a layer of gauze inside. Because the light was extremely dim, Luo Huaiyuan couldn't see what was going on inside. His heart was beating violently, and it seemed that there was only one voice between heaven and earth. Luo Huaiyuan was even afraid that the voice would be heard and discover his whereabouts.
He swallowed nervously, and lifted the gauze curtain inside. Through the dim light, he could vaguely see what was inside—
With long hair like seaweed, spreading all over the pillow, a jade-like person was sleeping soundly. The small face, the skin like jade, and the rosy red lips looked particularly attractive in the dim light. In particular, Yan Yan usually gave people a hard and beautiful impression, but at this time, she was lying in the soft quilt with her long hair scattered, making her even more delicate and pitiful.
He stretched out his hand as if possessed.
closer, closer...
Suddenly, a jade hand clamped his wrist as fast as lightning. The force was so great that Luo Huaiyuan felt like his hand was about to break.
The tightly closed eyes opened instantly, shooting a sharp light. Luo Huaiyuan's face was full of surprise, and he said in a low voice, "Sister Ayan, it's me!"
No need for the other party to tell, Yan Yan can also see who is coming.
At night, she will leave a small light in her house to prevent the night. In addition, she practiced martial arts, her eyesight was excellent, and she naturally saw very clearly.
"Why are you here?" Yan Yan also asked in a low voice, and let go of her hand.
Luo Huaiyuan was caught off guard, and the embarrassed one went forward and lay on the edge of the bed.
Yan Yan lit the lamp beside the bed, and what she saw was this situation—
A man in black fur, like a ball, lay pitifully on the edge of his bed, staring at himself with wide eyes. how to say? Like a puppy begging to be petted, and the kind of puppy that is full of milk and fat.
"Why did you come here in the middle of the night? How did you get in?"
Luo Huaiyuan laughed dryly.
Naturally turned in.
Ever since he saw the power of martial arts masters, Luo Huaiyuan began to recruit people with high martial arts skills intentionally or unintentionally. Anyway, he has money. Those so-called Jianghu people licking blood is also to make a living. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, so they just got together.
Although he is not very skilled in martial arts, he can't stand the people around him who are good at jumping over the wall and crossing the courtyard. He is a little fat, but it is no problem for the other party to bring him in. Luo Huaiyuan didn't know the person who brought him in. At the moment, he was sitting on the eaves outside, while the cold wind was blowing, and he cursed countless times in his heart. These four highnesses were so amazing that he almost broke his arm. .
Luo Huaiyuan probably explained how he came in, but his eyes drifted long ago.
It turned out that Yan Yan was wearing only one obscene garment when she slept, but the front of her clothes was already half open, revealing the peach-colored apron inside.
Above the apron is a pink and white jade neck, and below the apron are two towering places. Yan Yan's development was excellent, and Luo Huaiyuan was stunned when he saw that Luo Huaiyuan was swaying in his heart.
It turns out that there is such a benefit for exploring the deep boudoir at night, which is really good! (≧▽≦)
This fellow peeked back to peek, but peeking was extremely real. Even though his heart was already a slap in the face, on the surface he looked more serious, and he was talking to Yan Yan with interruptions in his mouth. Poor little Ayan didn't realize this guy's lewd behavior. .
The author has something to say:
With the old lady here, even for the sake of fame, the big room and the third room will not tear their faces, unless it is not about the reputation. Even if Weiyuan Hou's mansion had no money, there was still this brand. Compared with Yan Zhi and Yan Qu, who was a rank seven idler, he would have a much longer face. In the future, the marriage of children and children would be a plus. Coupled with Yan Ting's guilty conscience, he didn't see that he didn't pursue anything, and said that he would be responsible for the family's expenses in the future. Therefore, the big room and the three rooms do not lose anything. Of course, they must have their own thoughts inside, which is needless to say.
As for where Yan Ting got the money, it is up to everyone to think about it. Anyway, Yan Ting is ready to work hard.
