Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 153

Seeing that April is here, the imperial decree of marriage has come down.Prince Gong's son was married to the eldest daughter of Changning Hou Mansion, the head of Zhaohua County.

This marriage decree surprised most of the famous families, because Pei Xuan, who was conferred the title of heir at birth, many aristocratic families wanted to marry their daughters into Prince Gong's mansion, but they were all rejected by Pei Xuan. Most of them don't like it, if it's like this for a family, it's fine, but he just said that to everyone who is interested in him. It can be said that he was gentle and gentle, but he was very firm in this matter, and it was his firm refusal that gradually made some people who wanted to find him a son-in-law rest, because no one knew What kind of things does this elder son like? If his daughter rejects him outright and leaks the news, not only will the son-in-law not be found, but the daughter will also have a bad reputation of being rejected.

So, after the marriage rope came down, the name of Yan Zhaohua became known to more people, and everyone was asking, who is this Miss Yan, how can she even handle the picky Prince Gong's son?This Zhaohua county lord lives reclusively on weekdays. Although she is famous, she seldom attends banquets. She only goes to the homes of a few close friends. The impression is that they are still in Changning, waiting for Yanxiu to return from a great victory, and the emperor bestowed a gift on his children. This Zhaohua County Lord was the one who was granted the title at that time. Everyone thought that the Holy Majesty transformed Yanxiu's achievements into his children. Yin Feng was to suppress Yan Xiu, but he didn't expect that there was such a back move. The combination of Prince Gong's Mansion and Changning Marquis Mansion meant that the direction of the wind had to change accordingly.

Many officials were asking when this matter was decided, and why there was no word about it beforehand. On the one hand, they said that Prince Gong's residence had done a good job of keeping secrets; No one close to him revealed a word.

Anyway, the matter of Yan Zhaohua and Pei Xuan was settled like this.

At the same time as the imperial decree came down, the betrothal gifts from Prince Kung's Mansion were also sent to Changning Hou's Mansion one after another. Xuanya delivered it to the door in person, with such a great momentum that people couldn't help but stop for it.

This is the first time that Pei Xuan has come to the Marquis of Changning in such an open and honest manner. When he came here, he always took excuses and opportunities, but today, he is justified.Wearing a pair of azure blue treasure-faced flowers embroidered directly across the breast, with a handsome appearance, like a banished fairy, he went all the way to the gate of the Marquis of Changning, Yan Xiu personally greeted him outside the mansion, Pei Xuan got off his horse and came to Yan Xiu In front of him, he knelt down without hesitation. The posture seemed to have been practiced a hundred times. Yan Xiuzhen was afraid that he would open his mouth and call him "father". Fortunately, Pei Xuan was still a little sensible. Xiu shouted:

"Master Hou."

Yan Xiu lifted him up, patted him on the shoulder twice, and then invited all the people who came with him to hire into the mansion.The others stayed in the flower hall to drink tea, Yan Xiu took Pei Xuan to the study room, Yan Ruiqian and Xie Yuan were with him, Xie Yuan was fine, Yan Ruiqian was a little embarrassed, after all he and Pei Xuan had some "unpleasant" fights in the past ', but at that time, how did he know that Pei Xuan would be his brother-in-law in the future? And their methods were indeed misleading, to the point that Yan Ruiqian had a prejudice against them for a long time.

Thinking of his ignorance back then, Yan Ruiqian lowered his head in shame, and took the initiative to bring a cup of tea to pay respects to Pei Xuan:

"My son, I was ignorant in the past. You are a lot of adults, so don't bother with me. My sister will entrust you from now on."

Yan Ruiqian has learned a lot from Yan Xiu these days, his temper is not as straightforward as before, and he listened to a lot of what he said. Pei Xuan looked at this brother-in-law-to-be, who was dedicated to cultivation, and smiled, elegant and handsome. , took the teacup in his hand, took a symbolic sip, and promised, "Don't worry."

Yan Ruiqian's tense mood finally relaxed, and then the atmosphere gradually became more harmonious.Yan Xiu is quite satisfied with this prospective son-in-law, except that he feels a little weak and wonders if he will be able to protect his daughter well in the future. Today, they are all guests of the Yan family, and Pei Xuan followed Yan Xiu to greet him , corresponded properly, generously, and earned enough face for Yan Xiu.

Yan Zhaohua listened to the words from the maids in the back hall, imagining what he would look like in the front hall. The back hall was full of her good sisters. After hearing the news, Sister Rou deliberately drove away from the Zhang family yesterday. Come here just to witness with Yan Zhaohua today.

After the imperial decree was handed down, Yan Zhaohua's hanging heart finally fell. Seeing her happy face, Sister Rou couldn't help but joked:
"I wonder how calm you are. It turns out that you have a plan in mind. It will take at least two or three months from the time when the Holy Majesty decided to grant the marriage to when the imperial decree is handed down. In addition to discussing with uncle, it will take three to four months." Well, you really kept it a secret, and you didn't reveal it at all."

It was rare for Yan Zhaohua to wear bright clothes, her pink cheeks were flushed with peach blossoms, and she gave Sister Rou a tender look, and said, "Don't make fun of me, I'm not alone in this matter." Things, until the imperial decree came down today, I couldn't believe it was true."

Sister Rou still remembers being teased by Yan Zhaohua a lot when she got married. She has been waiting for this opportunity. How could she let it go? Anyway, the two of them are used to fighting, so they have no scruples. Immediately stretched out their fingers, He poked Yan Zhaohua's forehead and said:

"You can't believe it's true, but I still can't believe it's true. No wonder I always feel that Uncle Biao looks at you in the wrong way, but the two of you are too bored. You are so serious in front of outsiders. You didn't even tell me about my cousin when I talked to you in private, but fortunately I did worry about you, now that I think about it, I'm so stupid."

Yan Zhaohua grabbed Sister Rou's hand, held it in his hand, and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, don't criticize me. In the future, I will ask him to apologize to you in person. Is that okay?"

Needless to say, the word "he" in Yan Zhaohua's words naturally refers to the "cousin uncle" who is being complained by sister Rou. In cooperation, he waved his hand and said:

"But don't, I don't dare to provoke him. If you provoke him, he will ask me to copy the book later. I'm talking about you, we sisters, you keep it from me like this, we will always pay for this. It is to be remembered."

Sister Rou hugged Yan Zhaohua and laughed while talking. Sister Yuan and Zhang Yingying also came to play together. Sister Yuan said with some doubts:

"By the way, sister, do we have to change our name to Big Cousin... Cousin and Aunt from now on?"

Sister Yuan's honest words made the girls in the room quiet down, but the silence didn't last long, and a burst of laughter followed, which made Sister Rou and Yan Zhaohua a little embarrassed. Hua looked at Sister Rou maliciously, nodded seriously and said:
"Hey, isn't what sister Yuan said is true?"

Sister Rou clicked her tongue lightly, and said angrily: "What is it, I'm really not ashamed! What kind of cousin and aunt, we have to change our name from now on and call cousin uncle to be big cousin."

The atmosphere in the room became more lively because of Sister Rou's joke. Even Yan Zhaohua, who should have been the most shy, was amused by her words.

The laughter pierced through Yan Zhaohua's heart, and gradually disappeared in his ears. Yan Zhaohua looked at the girls and He Lele, and recalled that she was poor in her previous life. At that time, her only wish was not to be so embarrassed. She didn't even dare to think about the picture of living alone and reaping everything like this. In this life, she got rid of Mrs. Xie early, and it seemed that she had seized the opportunity in life, and everything became smooth. Including friendship, the emergence of love.

Suddenly, Yan Zhaohua was afraid that all this was just a dream, she was afraid that she would wake up from this beautiful dream, the more beautiful something is, the more difficult it is for people to give up, the more people are afraid of losing it.

Yan Zhaohua sat on the edge of the bed, watching the girls laughing together, just in time, the maids came to announce that the banquet had been prepared in the flower hall and they could be seated. Sister Yuan took the lead and led the girls to the flower hall But Yan Zhaohua didn't move, just quietly watched the girls leave the room one by one, Sister Rou was the first to realize that something was wrong with her, she leaned over, grabbed her hand, and asked softly: "Why?" gone?"

Yan Zhaohua shook his head with a smile, his expression was a little touched, but he was obviously lonely, Sister Rou looked around, waited until all the other girls in the room had left, passed the carved window, and laughed Yingying. Huating, then asked Yan Zhaohua in a low voice:

"Do you think of sister Ning?"

Yan Zhaohua raised his eyes to look at Xie Xinrou, surprised by her sensitivity, she didn't reply, Sister Rou knew she had guessed right, and said regretfully: "I heard from my mother, Sister Ning is so confused, to actually After doing this kind of thing, how is she doing now? I wanted to go see her yesterday, but she only asked the maid to tell me that she was tired, and she didn't even let me see her. They are all sisters. Who would have thought that would happen? What about this kind of thing?"

Yan Zhaohua replied helplessly: "No one would have guessed that she was confused. No one can blame her. Now that she is sick, she is afraid that my father will be kicked out of the house when he recovers. He only dared to drink half of the medicine. It is useless to persuade her. Those who throw bowls and cups, have such a temper that people can't get close to them, my father and I have nothing to do."

Xie Xinrou had heard a little about Yan Zhaoning's recent situation. Although there was no clear reason, most people knew that Miss Yan's illness was so serious.Having said that, Sister Rou is not polite anymore, and asked Yan Zhaohua:

"Then...that man, what's uncle's plan? Although I'm not in Xie's house recently, I heard that Tan's family has been very close to Xie's family recently. I don't know why. Last time I heard that Mrs. Tan was in Beijun In the palace, a pair of agate bracelets were also given to Aunt Gong, who was also a guest, so it’s a good relationship.”
