Yan Ting heard about this as soon as he returned to the house.
He went to Rong An Tang first, and the old lady told him the specific situation. He didn't say anything, and after leaving Rong'an Hall, he turned to Ziyuxuan.
With great difficulty, he moved out of the broken house and returned to this wonderful Ziyuxuan. After Yan Qian left, Concubine Pei asked her servants to carry water for her to bathe. After taking the petal bath, and rubbing her whole body with a good white magnolia fragrant pancreas, Aunt Pei lay down on the soft quilt and fell asleep.
The good dream was in full swing, and a chill woke her up from her sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yan Ting's deep and sharp eyes.
"cousin-"
Yan Ting snorted coldly, stood up straight, and Aunt Pei hurriedly sat up holding the quilt.
"You have?"
Concubine Pei bowed her head shyly, and slightly jaded one side of her neck, revealing her well-shaped collarbone. She hummed softly and raised her eyes to look at Yan Ting.
"Cousin, are you happy? Yu Jin has it." It completely showed the shy, timid, and full of anticipation of the little daughter.
Yan Ting's expression was a little dark and inexplicable, staring at Aunt Pei's heart.
She folded her neck halfway, bowed her head and sobbed softly, "Cousin, I was wrong, Yu Jin really knew it was wrong. Yu Jin's eyelids are too shallow, but she is definitely not greedy for that thing, Yu Jin is just jealous, jealous of Madam, I'm jealous that you gave her so many things, so I made two of Fangcao to steal it..."
The jewelry that Shen Yiyao lost, in addition to the step, and some odds and ends were all things that Yan Ting had given to Shen Yiyao over the years.
Yan Ting is attentive and considerate. When Shen Yiyao is very good, he will find some unique jewelry for her every few days. Yan Ting understood at a glance when things were checked out that day, but he didn't say anything at that time. On the contrary, Shen Yiyao, it may be that Yan Ting gave her too many small things, but the reaction is not obvious, and some things may not even remember where she came from.
Every man who has high self-esteem will not reject such a woman in front of him. She is weak, tender, and pitiful. of self-confidence.
Including Yan Ting.
"Since you have a body, you should take good care of it. I don't want you to make the same mistake again."
After speaking, Yan Ting left.
After a long time, Aunt Pei raised her tearful face and smiled.
***
Yan Yan kept people staring at Aunt Pei, but she didn't see anything unusual.
Aunt Pei is very peaceful. Apart from raising her baby in Ziyuxuan, she goes back and forth between Rong'antang and Jinseyuan. Even if it is always raining and snowing outside, she can't stop the footsteps that she seems to be sincerely regretting.
Every day, I go to Jinseyuan to say goodbye to Shen Yiyao, and then go to the old lady together. After that, he came back to serve Shen Yiyao for dinner and talked with her. The old lady said several times to let her take care of the baby, but she always ignored it.
Dr. Chang came over to check her pulse again, and said that after the first three months, the meconium was stable, and it was good to do a lot of activities. The old lady would not stop her, but only thought that she wanted to get Shen Yiyao's forgiveness.
Aunt Pei who looks like this is actually not unfamiliar. She has always been so respectful to Shen Yiyao and does her duty as a concubine.
More than ten years as a day.
Even after that, because he was very busy with the central feeder, he always found time to serve Shen Yiyao for a meal and rest, even pinching his shoulders and beating his legs.
If it weren't for the solid evidence that day, Shen Yiyao would never have believed that Aunt Pei, who was always honest and calm, would do such a thing.
But the fact is that she did.
After all, Shen Yiyao had a lump in her heart, and she was not as close to Aunt Pei as she used to be. Aunt Pei came every day, her brows and eyes were light, and she persuaded her to go back several times. Aunt Pei always cried and said that her wife would not forgive her, and then Shen Yiyao stopped persuading her.
Aunt Wu came to Jinseyuan more often, and always accompanied Shen Yiyao with Aunt Pei.
It's snowing, it's freezing cold outside, and there are people talking with you, and the days are well spent.
This kind of situation made Yan Yan feel very uncomfortable. The unspeakable kind of discomfort, there is a feeling of powerlessness, but she doesn't know where this feeling of powerlessness comes from.
Aunt Pei is very honest, so honest that people have nowhere to choose, and her attitude is also very respectful, respectful to the point of being humble. Nothing was done, and there was no fault even in the words, making people unable to grasp any hands or feet at all.
Twice, Yan Yan even deliberately found fault. Aunt Pei didn't cry or make trouble, she just lowered her head silently. The first time, Shen Yiyao just pretended that she didn't see it, and the next time, she didn't say anything, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
In fact, after so many things, Yan Yan already understood the meaning of the dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction is not to condemn her for not targeting Aunt Pei, but that such behavior is not what a lady should do.
It's a pity that there is a gap between the mother and daughter after all, even if Yan Yan understands now, she just doesn't know it. Just as she could never agree with Shen Yiyao's behavior, Shen Yiyao couldn't agree with her either. Just like the summer insects can't speak ice, the difference is clear, the south is the opposite.
For such Aunt Pei, Yan Yan felt that she was full of strength, but she had nowhere to focus, like a fist hitting cotton.
Mama Zou gave her an idea to let Aunt Pei stay in her yard by taking advantage of the snowy road outside and not to go out at will.
Aunt Pei really didn't go out.
…
In a blink of an eye, it was time for the new year, and the Weiyuan Houfu and Hefu began to clean up the dust. Where there was paint, the red paint was repaired, and the window paper that should be replaced was also replaced. Playing the Spring Festival couplets and sticking window decorations, the lights are everywhere, and it is very lively.
The masters of the house also began to make new clothes, and the servants also distributed fabrics and cotton, and made a suit for themselves. At the end of the year, it is always necessary to wear new clothes to welcome the Spring Festival.
Mei Xiang and Yan'er's needlework was good, so they made it tightly to the new clothes of the third girl and the fourth young master. Shen Yiyao also asked Cui Qiao to bring over a plate of bead flowers, earrings, and bracelets, all of which are suitable for a girl of Yan Yan's age, so Yan Yan picked them first. This is the custom in the house. When buying jewelry for the girls during the holidays, Yan Yan always picks them first, and then Yan Qian has a few.
There were also two clothes, one for a girl and one for a boy. There are inside and outside, up and down, the stitches are fine, the embroidery is exquisite, Cui Qiao said that this was made by Mrs. In fact, there is no need for Cuiqiao to say, Yan Yan knows that her mother is a good needleworker, and she has made clothes for her and A Mo in previous years.
In fact, apart from those who don't want to recall, Shen Yiyao still loves her two children dearly.
In the past, Yan Yan always felt that she and her mother didn't kiss because of Aunt Pei's instigation, and those people like Fang Cui Fang Cao were ghosts. Now that these people are gone, no one dares to do evil in secret, but they still can't kiss.
It was only at this moment that Yan Yan understood that some things happened, and they would not be regarded as nothing because the boat passed through the water without a trace.
These two clothes were taken back into the house by the maids of Yan Yan and Yan Mo. When the two brothers met again in the afternoon, their expressions were a little stunned.
Yan Yan knew what it was. The clothes fit too well. In fact, these days, not only has she grown taller, but so has Ah Mo.
"I remember that you used to be very clingy to her. You don't have to be cold to her because of my thoughts. She's not stupid, she saw it earlier."
No one knows more than Yan Yan how nervous Shen Yiyao is. But since Yan Mo moved to Ningxiang Pavilion, the mother and son have become quite estranged, a little less close, and a little more distance.
Yan Mo, who was drawing red, was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I always have to grow up, after the age where I have to stick to my mother."
***
On the 30th day of the new year, the rule of the Weiyuan Houfu is to worship the ancestors and worship the ancestral hall in the morning, have the New Year's Eve dinner at noon, and eat the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening when the sky is dark, and then watch the New Year together.
Whenever this time, it is the most lively time of Rong'an Hall.
The old lady was dressed in purple embroidered cranes, auspicious clouds and flowers, wearing a sable fur lying on her head, and her ears were jasper earrings the size of lotus seeds and rice. She smiled and looked at the younger generation below, holding them kindly and kindly. .
In the first place, adults and children were all dressed in beams with smiles on their faces. At times like this, no one would deliberately be unhappy.
The New Year's Eve banquet was still held in the flower hall. As usual, there were two tables, one for adults and one for children. Anyway, they are all a family, and it is a big New Year's Eve, so there is no difference between men and women.
Yan Zhi was a good drinker, and he always liked this kind of occasion, so he was the only one on the table to persuade him to drink. The third master, Yan Qu, has always been silent, so he drank a few more glasses today, even Yan Ting and Yan Zhi also drank a few glasses. After Yan Zhi drank the wine, his words became wilder.
It's a pity that he also took an idle job, and some of the information I heard was when I met with those friends and friends, those people were the same as him, the news was wild, and the truth was unknown, how could he do it? Standard number.
However, Yan Ting and Yan Qu have always known his character, so they just listened to him, and they never listened to him.
While talking, Yan Zhi mentioned Yan Ting's errand, and the atmosphere at the table was stagnant for a while.
Not to mention the transfer order, Yan Ting also found another way to go to the Ministry of War to ask about his future errands. It's a pity that the Ministry of War has not given accurate words, the general meaning is to go back and wait for arrangements.
'Go back and wait for the arrangement', it depends on how you understand it. The errand may be issued in a few days, or it may be a long wait.
In Daxi, not only the civil servants are waiting, but there are also those who rely on Mengyin like them. There is no useful relationship, and His Majesty can't win the eye, so he can only wait in line.
Yan Ting knew that his situation was abnormal, not to mention that he once served as a general guarding the road at Pingsha Pass. Even just relying on the brand of Weiyuan Houfu for the founding of the country would not let him lose his turn. job.
But the fact is, people let him go back and wait for the arrangement.
What the official said was very eloquent. The Marquis has a noble status and great merits, but now there is really no shortage of your status, so you can't be allowed to go to the Beijing camp to be a small flag. The latter sentence was made up by Yan Ting himself. Not to mention that the Ministry of War did not arrange it. Even if it was arranged, he would not go. It would definitely be a humiliation.
After all, someone secretly stuck him!
This goddamn king of the town!
Of course, all of this is a secret front, and it can't be said on the surface.
As long as Yan Ting still wants to maintain superficial harmony and resolve internal conflicts internally, he cannot tear it apart on the surface.
In fact, it can be understood from a different way of thinking. Zuo is just the son-in-law who has provoked the old man, and the old man is too lazy to pay attention to him now. As for being secretly stuck by the old man, the old man is always angry, so just coax him.
Now Yan Ting can only comfort himself like this.
The old lady said angrily: "I can't stop you from drinking. What kind of errands are there for this big New Year's Eve? I've been busy all year, and I don't rest now."
Yan Zhi laughed, the matter was over, and the table was in harmony again.
