Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 114

After Yan Zhaohua and Yan Ruiqian explained some details, they returned to their Qingqueju.

As soon as she entered, Ranxiang came to Yan Zhaohua and said, "Miss, Miss Biao is here, and we didn't ask you to call you. She is reading in the embroidery room."

Yan Zhaohua was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Oh yes, I see."

The so-called Miss Biao was referring to Xie Xinrou. Yan Zhaohua didn't need to communicate with her when he went to Dingguo Duke's Mansion, he could go directly to her yard. According to legend, this is a tacit understanding between the two.

When Yan Zhaohua went to the embroidery room, Xie Xinrou was sitting in front of her embroidery frame, embroidering one stitch at a time. Hearing the noise, she raised her head to look at Yan Zhaohua, smiled and said, "I heard that brother Qian was beaten, why not?" like?"

Yan Zhaohua sat down on the soft couch opposite her: "What can I do, my butt is sticking out, I can't go out to play during this time."

"Haha, just like Brother Fan! He also beat my father half to death yesterday, and my mother almost cried to death." Xie Xinrou buried her head in embroidery and said so.

Yan Zhaohua imagined that scene, and couldn't help laughing: "This time it's really an innocent disaster, just to teach them a lesson, so that they won't be fooled by others in the future."

Xie Xinrou looked up at Yan Zhaohua, nodded, "Yes, this time the lesson is big enough. If it wasn't for being rescued by my cousin, I'm afraid that the Xie Yan family would be in a mess now." On this topic, Xie Xinrou inserted the embroidery needle in her hand into the sewing basket beside her, then got up, walked to Yan Zhaohua's side with her skirt and sat down, and said in a voice heard by the two of them:

"By the way, do you know? It's been a mess in the past two days. The people arrested on Changnancheng Street can't be locked in the prison in Shuntian Mansion, and they were vacated in the cells of the patrol battalion. Many people were arrested. The children of the aristocratic family who sleep flowers and live in willows are all saying that thanks to the cleaning during the day, if it is night, it is estimated that the prison in the capital will not be able to hold it."

Yan Zhaohua also laughed, and asked a little worriedly:

"I offended so many people at once, I'm afraid the people behind the scene will feel uncomfortable."

Xie Xinrou fully agrees: "Yes, it must be uncomfortable, but until now, everyone still doesn't know who is behind the scenes, and many aristocratic families can't find anyone who wants to do activities. Someone asked to go to the Duke's mansion this morning. , I saw my father leading people to see my grandfather."

Yan Zhaohua can fully understand this situation, because Pei Xuan explained to her that this is indeed a shortcut to clarify the relationship between each family, and asked Xie Xinrou: "Who are the people who went to the Duke's mansion today? This time I don't see the matter, it's simple, it's better to let uncle not interfere too much."

"It's natural. Those who go are ordinary passers-by. How capable is my father? Even if they go, it's useless. My grandfather is in the fog of this matter. I don't know what happened. How could it be?" Mao Mao rashly helped others, it was just coping with it."

Xie Xinrou knew what Yan Zhaohua was worried about, so she said this in relief.

Yan Zhaohua is right when he thinks about it. The reason why the Xie family has been able to stand undefeated for so many years is because they are cautious enough. In such a bad situation, the Xie family did not fall immediately, and they lingered on for several years, which shows their resilience, and they will not just casually help others when they can't see the situation clearly.What's more, with my grandmother Liu Shi sitting in charge, I don't think there will be any problems.

"My father and mother have already prepared generous gifts. Tomorrow, I should go to Prince Gong's Mansion to formally thank you. When is uncle going?" Xie Xinrou stood up and looked at it repeatedly with an embroidery frame. Yan Zhaohua replied: "Yan Bo is already preparing gifts, and he should go in these two days."

Xie Xinrou put down the bandage, returned to Yan Zhaohua's side, and said, "By the way, there is one more thing that I overheard yesterday. It seems that grandpa intends to be a matchmaker for uncle again?"

Yan Zhaohua was drinking tea, and almost spit out water when he heard the words, and said, "What? A matchmaker?"

She couldn't help but frown, and asked Xie Xinrou: "Isn't grandpa trying to marry the third Xie family's daughter to my father?" If so, Yan Zhaohua would really admire Xie Guozhang.

Xie Xinrou pursed her lips and remained silent. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. Yan Zhaohua took a deep breath and said, "Thanks to the old man for thinking it out. Does grandma know about it?"

"I don't know if grandma knows. When I went to look for my father in my grandfather's study yesterday, I heard it from the most favored maid in my grandfather's study. That maid's words are always reliable and can't be wrong."

Xie Xinrou's words made Yan Zhaohua fall into deep thought. She guessed that Mrs. Liu must not know about this matter. She could tell that Yan Xiu was submissive to Xie Guozhang, but he was very convinced by Mrs. Liu. In his heart, he is an extremely reliable mother-in-law. If Xie Guozhang wants to marry the third daughter of the Xie family to Yanxiu, he must choose from the offspring...

"Do you know who my grandfather prefers?" In Yan Zhaohua's impression, there seemed to be no age suitable for Yan Xiu in the Xie family's eldest family.

Xie Xinrou leaned into Yan Zhaohua's ear and whispered: "It seems that she is the second wife's grandfather's daughter Chang. In terms of seniority, I have to call her little aunt. Chang is nineteen years old. When she was 16, The grandmother of the second room passed away. She kept her filial piety for three years and delayed leaving the court. Her original fiancé's family couldn't wait to get divorced. I haven't had much contact with her, so I don't know much about her, but I haven't heard of any bad temper or bad conduct. She...you may have seen her, she also came for my mother's birthday the other day, and she even threw a ball with me. The pot is here, but you were not there at that time, and when you went later, did you see a girl in peach pink clothes with a smile like a silver bell?"

Xie Xinchang, the daughter of the second wife...Yan Zhaohua tried hard to remember, but all he got was a very vague impression, and said: "Then I don't remember! But no matter whether she is good or not, my father doesn't know if she will agree. .”

Having said that, Yan Zhaohua also understands that Yan Xiu will definitely not agree. If he hadn't gone to fight in southern Xinjiang for two years, had no achievements on his body, and Xie's family died, Xie Guozhang would arrange another one for him. Woman, maybe Yan Xiu will let it go, but now, let alone Yan Xiu's merits, the Changning Marquis Mansion is becoming more and more prestigious. , or a girl who is too old to marry.Although the second wife of Xie's family is also surnamed Xie, she is not from the same family as the Duke's mansion. Yanxiu married the two young ladies of the Duke's mansion, so he is also the son-in-law of the Duke's mansion, but marrying the second lady of the Xie family is another matter. what?The master of the second bedroom of Xie's family is a worthless man who has lived in the Duke's mansion all his life. He has just taken a job in the Ministry of Industry when he is quite old. I don't know how troublesome it is.

So Yan Zhaohua knew without asking Yan Xiu, there was no way he would agree to this matter.

Xie Xinrou raised her eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief, "I think I definitely won't agree. Uncle is not stupid. Grandfather is obviously plotting against him. It's strange to agree."

Unexpectedly, if she didn't explain, Xie Xinrou also figured it out. Hearing what she said, Yan Zhaohua couldn't help laughing, and said, "I think so. Grandfather's move is not clever."

Xie Xinrou also seemed to have some objections to Xie Guozhang. She looked around to make sure no one heard her, and then leaned closer to Yan Zhaohua's ear and said, "Not only is he not smart, but he is so stupid. He thought my uncle was the old one who let him handle it." of it."

Yan Zhaohua was very surprised by Xie Xinrou's sharpness. Xie Xinrou saw Yan Zhaohua's gaze, suddenly came over and bumped into her, and said, "Do you think you are the only one who is smart? I don't understand anything?"

"No, I just didn't expect you to say it so directly." This sentence was Yan Zhaohua's sincere words.

Xie Xinrou smiled: "Why are you direct, but I just said that to you. I can see clearly that my grandfather is a fool, and my father has no talent. I heard from my mother that my uncle didn't want to marry my fourth aunt back then. It's just that my grandfather put pressure on me. Now that my uncle has made such great achievements, Changning Hou Mansion is no longer what it used to be. Things that we can all see through, but grandfather can't see through. He is still immersed in the glory of the past. The time will be judged, last time about Aunt Gong's matter, my uncle and grandfather had a quarrel, which made my grandfather fearful to this day, and it is really naive to think of using this method to suppress my uncle."

Xie Xinrou's understanding made Yan Zhaohua feel very comfortable, and he said helplessly, "Oh, this kind of thing is not something we can talk about. We don't know what kind of heart grandfather is in, but if my father says it, I will agree with you." To be honest, it is impossible for him to agree to this matter no matter what. After all, he will not thank the girl of the eldest family. You know better than me what kind of person the second bedroom master is. Just for this, so does my father. Impossible to promise."

I really don't know what Xie Guozhang was thinking, he couldn't see the situation clearly at all, until now he was still dreaming about those unrealistic dreams, the Yan family was already gaining momentum, Xie Guozhang not only didn't notice it, but also wanted to use the old way to suppress It's really irrational to suppress Yanxiu with this method.Besides, even if it is ten thousand steps back, Yan Xiu agreed to marry the Xie family and married the girl whose second marriage was divorced, but if this is the case, what good will it do for Xie Guozhang?Just embarrassing Yan Xiu on the bright side, will it really make him happy, and will it really make the relationship between the two families better?Yan Xiu was no longer the kind of child who would cry when frightened casually. If Xie Guozhang did too much, it would be easy for Yan Xiu to stop being depressed and break up with him completely.

The collapse of Yanxiu and Xie's family is not good for Yanxiu, but it is not harmful either. After all, Yan's family is booming at this time, but if Xie's family and Yan's family collapse, then some relationships established in the past will inevitably re-examine the Xie Yan family. There are bound to be some people who see Yan Xiu's strength and follow him. At that time, they will share the power of the Xie family and weaken the two families. Why bother?
