Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 132

On the other side, Yan Zhaohua and Yan Zhaoning each occupied one end of the soft couch. Yan Zhaohua asked someone to find her a picture book. If Yan Xiu agreed to let her go back to her room to watch the new year alone, she would definitely read it all night. The notebooks, Pei Xuan got her a lot of novel novels a few days ago, and she hasn't finished them yet, but it's a pity that with everyone together, she can't take them over and read them openly.

No matter how beautiful the picture album is, Yan Zhaohua is not very interested. He looked up at Yan Zhaoning, and felt that she looked a little like himself after she lost weight. Okay, Yan Zhaohua asked aloud:

"Didn't you also like to play chess before? Why don't you watch your father play chess?"

Yan Zhaoning withdrew his gaze from the window, glanced at Yan Zhaohua, and said weakly, "Oh, I want to stay with my sister to watch the new year. Does it mean that my sister hates me for getting in the way?"

Seeing that her eyes are big, moist, and beautiful, but she has lost her previous wit and energy, she can't even be called a sick beauty, she looks like a wooden beauty, Yan Zhaohua can't help but say:

"I don't think you're in the way. It's just... are you still going to stop eating? I see you are skinny these days. If you continue like this, you won't grow taller."

Yan Zhaohua really thinks that Yan Zhaoning used to look good, with curvy and unparalleled beauty, but now, she is in a daze because she wears thick clothes in winter. It will be obvious, not only will it not have the slightest aesthetic feeling, but it will also make people feel terrible, like a skeleton.

Yan Zhaoning listened to Yan Zhaohua's words, looked down at himself, and then curled his lips and said, "I know what I'm doing, I don't need my sister to remind me, I used to be rounder, I don't seem to be as light and thorough as my sister, now I I'm afraid it's not much worse than my sister."

Yan Zhaoning's words sound a bit specious, but I really don't understand what she means. Why does it sound like she has become so thin, or is it because of herself?But where did this come from?

Yan Zhaohua wanted to ask the matter clearly, but she was talking to Yan Zhaoning, and Yan Zhaoning stopped talking. After a while, Yan Ruiqian also came over, leaned over to Yan Zhaohua, and took a piece dessert:
"Father asked me to ask you, when will you go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow?"

Seeing what he said, Yan Zhaohua bit the dim sum into his mouth in one bite. Knowing that he would not have enough of the fragrant pot at night, he handed him all the dim sum at hand: "As soon as possible tomorrow, if it is late , even the cars in front of the Duke’s Mansion can’t go in.”

Yan Ruiqian was eating and didn't have time to answer her, so he just nodded, Yan Zhaoning looked back at him and asked:

"Where's Brother Yan?"

Yan Ruiqian paused, swallowed a mouthful of snacks and replied, "Father asked him to go back to the study to study."

Earlier they were playing chess on the east side, separated by a living room and a room, and there was the sound of firecrackers outside, no wonder Yan Zhaohua and the others didn't hear it, but Yan Ruiqian couldn't directly say that Yan Shuyan was scolded by Yan Xiu, so he folded it. Got a saying.

Yan Zhaoning frowned again, and his mouth pouted slightly, looking like he was 'unhappy', Yan Ruiqian didn't want to say anything more to her, so he hurried back to answer Yan Xiu when he got Yan Zhaohua's words went.

After Yan Ruiqian left, Yan Zhaoning said to Yan Zhaohua: "Sister, have you noticed that father only likes second brother now, not brother Yan?" Although she is not smart, she has always been quite accurate.

"How come. Don't think about it."

Naturally, Yan Zhaohua can't say yes, but anyone with eyes can't tell that Yan Xiu is paying more and more attention to Yan Ruiqian, the eldest son. When you arrive at the Ministry of War, you must know that at Yan Ruiqian's age, he can join the Ministry of War. Even if it's just a nominal position, that's what many people dream of. As for Yan Shuyan, in Yan Zhaohua's opinion, Yan Xiu treats him well No, it's just that, compared to the previous period when he was confused between the two sons, now Yanxiu has only determined the training goal.

Whenever Yan Zhaohua thinks of this, Yan Zhaohua feels very relieved, because in the last life, Yan Ruiqian was expelled from the Changning Marquis Mansion, Yan Shuyan became the son, and Yan Xiu did not value Yan Ruiqian as much as Yan Shuyan did in this life In terms of Shuyan being the eldest son, it just gave him more opportunities to eat, drink, have fun, and get in touch with more dudes. Yan Xiu just felt that the eldest son did not make progress. Although the second son did not achieve much, at least he did not commit any major crimes on the surface. Wrong, but how did he know that everything Yan Shuyan did was taken care of by Mrs. Xie, if it wasn't for Mrs. Xie, Yan Xiu would have been kicked out of the Changning Hou Mansion by Yan Xiu a long time ago based on Yan Shuyan's various behaviors outside I'm back.

Yan Ruiqian will become what he is now. Although she also has some reasons, the most important thing is his own efforts. If he can't survive in the Ministry of War, then no matter how much encouragement and advice Yan Zhaohua gives him, he won't be able to. It was in vain, and in the final analysis, Yan Ruiqian was able to enter the military department because he had nothing to do with Pei Xuan.

Thinking of Pei Xuan, Yan Zhaohua couldn't help but move to the window covered with transparent oil paper, looking at the dark night sky, thinking about what Pei Xuan was doing at the moment.

At the beginning of next year, Prince Gong's Mansion should bring an imperial decree to formally appoint a marriage proposal. At that time, she and Pei Xuan will be officially tied together. From now on, if no one changes their minds, they will go hand in hand Thinking of this, Yan Zhaohua's heart is not very sweet, the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth is even more dazzling when Yan Zhaoning sees it, he turned his eyes and said:

"What is sister thinking?"

Yan Zhaohua turned his head to look at her, curled his lips and said, "I'm thinking about this night sky, how many people are watching at this moment?"

The firecrackers on New Year’s Eve will not stop. In the evening, the palace will bring food to the mansion. At this time, the brightest fireworks in the night sky are in the Far Eastern Palace. Tonight is a family feast, and the palace is no exception , Pei Xuan is naturally also under the fireworks at the moment, with fond memories of Pei Xuan in his mind, Yan Zhaohua feels tender when he speaks.

After Yan Zhaoning was silent for a while facing the sky, he said to Yan Zhaohua:

"What kind of brother-in-law does my sister want to find for me in the future?"

Because the matter of Prince Gong's marriage proposal had never been leaked, Yan Zhaoning naturally didn't know about it, so he asked Yan Zhaohua this way.

Yan Zhaohua was stunned: "Why do you ask this suddenly? It's not something we should talk about..."

"Sister, you don't need to escape. You have passed the sixteenth year, and I have passed the fourteenth year. They are both old enough to talk about marriage. Tonight is New Year's Eve. We sisters can talk openly and honestly. It is also a holiday."

Yan Zhaoning seemed to be very interested in this topic. When he mentioned this, the brilliance in his eyes recovered a little bit. After Yan Zhaohua thought about it, he said to Yan Zhaoning cautiously:

"I want to find someone who agrees with me and can talk to me."

After Yan Zhaoning heard this, he smiled coldly: "So you want to find someone who is talented? Does my sister know about Wei Wuhou's eldest son, Tan Xiaozhi? I heard that Wei Wuhou and Mrs. Hou both intend to ask you to be their daughter-in-law. Do you know about this?"

Yan Zhaohua felt that Yan Zhaoning's words became more and more outrageous the more he asked, he squinted his eyes at her and said, "You listen to what someone said, it's nothing like that, don't say it to make people laugh."

"Sister, don't pretend. I've heard several people say that you are still hiding it from me. However, I also heard that my grandmother has rejected this relative for you. Oh, that Mr. Tan is a rich man. What about the person in my sister's heart who is like-minded and can talk, does my sister regret it?"

Yan Zhaohua couldn't figure out what Yan Zhaoning was trying to say more and more. He stared at her for a while, and was about to answer, when Yan Zhaoning stood up abruptly, got off the soft couch, and put on a fur coat. Yi, saluted Yan Zhaohua:

"I'm going to watch my father play chess with my second brother."

Without waiting for Yan Zhaohua to answer, she turned around and walked out of the screen, passed by the west room, and walked towards the east flower hall.Yan Zhaohua was left alone in the warm pavilion, puzzled by the inexplicable words she just said. Just as she was wondering, she caught a glimpse of the scene outside the yard with sharp eyes. She leaned over to the window, took a closer look, and was pleasantly surprised:
"Yeah, it's snowing."

This year is a warm winter, and this is the first snow.

Yan Zhaohua immediately brought her a cloak and fur coat and hat, wrapped them tightly, opened the cotton curtain, and went to the yard.

The snow has just fallen, and each one is as big as half a small fingernail. It is dry and large. If this kind of snow falls overnight, it will definitely be white in the morning. If it can accumulate, then It will be beautiful outside tomorrow.I don't know if he saw such a snowfall, no matter what Yan Zhaohua does recently, he can always think of Pei Xuan in his mind, she thinks she is bewildered by someone called 'Pei Xuan' , a sweet heart.

In the resplendent and brightly lit palace, beside the Taiye Pool, the royal family banquet was in full swing, and the fireworks in the sky lit up half of it, looking bright and brilliant, she must have seen such bright fireworks.

Pei Xuan was holding a wine glass in one hand and a jug in the other, as if he was about to pour wine, but he just stood there in a daze. Under the fireworks, his profile was so handsome that he looked like a mortal. The concubine also sensed what was wrong with her son tonight, so she looked at each other. Prince Gong hugged Concubine Gong's shoulders.

"At this time next year, our son should have a companion by his side." Princess Gong said with emotion.

Prince Gong laughed loudly with his beard twisted, even Emperor Kant was startled, and he came over with a wine glass in person, and Prince Gong and his wife got up to greet them, enjoying themselves happily.

At this moment, snowflakes were falling in the sky. Pei Xuan put down his wine glass, stretched out his hand and waited for two pieces. Seeing the two pieces of snowflakes melting in his palm, Pei Xuan was very moved, thinking that he hadn't seen her for several days. , I always feel empty in my heart.But the Marquis of Changning is heavily guarded, so he can't even think about stealing jade and incense in a short time... He feels very upset, and now he will lead the imperial decree to announce the decree, and then take her back to hide...

Amused by his own thought, Pei Xuan couldn't help turning his head and said to Emperor Kande:

"Your majesty, did you say that you wanted to send a reward? Or, I'll make a trip for your people."

It is a rule to give rewards to ministers who have made meritorious deeds on New Year's Eve. Changning Hou won a great victory in Nanjiang, and the merits belonged to the country. It's better than being in love and not seeing each other.

Emperor Kande and Prince Gong and his wife looked at each other, Prince Gong narrowed his eyes with a smile, Princess Gong was a little embarrassed, Emperor Kande was the calmest, and asked Pei Xuan:

"So you want to run for me?"

Pei Xuan nodded again and again, looking eager.Emperor Kant couldn't help but sighed helplessly after seeing it, and said to Prince Gong beside him: "Come on, I see that your son is born in vain, and he looks like this before he gets married. gone."

Prince Gong laughed loudly again. Others only saw that the two brothers had a good relationship, talking and laughing, the sky filled with fireworks and the sound of firecrackers, but no one heard what they said.Then after a while, Emperor Kant returned to the emperor's seat and arranged for this year's rewards, which were no different from previous years' rewards, except that the people who gave the rewards were different. The princes have all received the task of presenting rewards, which is quite unique.
