The Lofty Fierce Consort

Chapter 105

After Shen Yiyao and Xue clan left, the old lady’s face made Chen clan roll too, and then she sat there alone, silent for a while.

Mother Zhao on the side didn’t dare to persuade her, now that nothing would help. The old lady didn’t want to make the embarrassment in the mansion public, so she could only hold on.

But where did the one thousand taels come from?

Mother Zhao was worried about whether the old lady had any money in her hands. It is estimated that there is no one in this world that knows better than Mother Zhao.

“You go take the set of red gold and green jade heads in my jewelry box and take it out.”

Mother Zhao was shocked and couldn’t help saying: “But, that is your favorite set of old lady, such a precious thing, I am afraid it will be hard to find in the future.”

This set of red gold inlaid with green jade head and face was honored by Shen Yiyao when the old lady passed her 50th birthday.

There are twelve pieces in a set of head and face, which are divided into top hairpin, distraction, picking heart, side hairpin, flower hair hairpin, masking sideburn, encircling bun, , full crown, etc. Ju is made of ample red gold inlaid with green jade, not to mention the excellent workmanship of this set of heads. The green jade inlaid on your head is emerald green and has a very good head. It looks like it really likes people. It is the best emperor green. . The old lady likes it very much, and she is reluctant to bring it out in normal times. It is the most expensive set of all her jewelry.

“What is easy to find is not easy to find, the other side can’t be the price, she Shen Yiyao respected it, and now it is used on her daughter, it is not a loss.”

Now, the old lady can only comfort herself so much.

Mother Zhao hesitated for a moment and asked: “Do you live or die?”

After asking this sentence, she hurriedly held her breath.

Sure enough, the old lady’s face quickly distorted, panting heavily, and then said after a long while: “Death!”

A long time ago, every time the old lady asked Mother Zhao to take her dowry out, she also had beautiful illusions. Thinking of waiting for her to become more active in the future, she will redeem it all. But whenever she finally had some silver in her hand, there were always other places that were more anxious to use silver, and over time, those things made her deliberately forget.

The number of deeds has increased, and now the old lady also understands the key points in it. Death is more than double the amount of money that can be earned by living. That’s why Mother Zhao asked.

In the end, this set of green jade was two thousand five hundred taels. Not only could it deal with Shen Yiyao’s side, but the old lady had a lot left in her hands, so she didn’t mention it.

…

The Xue family was tossing and turning all night, Yan Zhi was tossed by her and couldn’t sleep anymore, and simply sat up.

“If you don’t sleep this night, what do you want to bake!”

Xue also sat up and lit a small lamp on the bedside cabinet before leaning back on the pillow.

She babbled about what happened today, and then said: “Do you think our family is really out of money? Where are all so many industries? Now the old lady doesn’t even care about face, I really can’t figure out why she To be like this. With the achievements of our mansion in those industries, enough for the family to live comfortably, why bother to be so stingy.”

Yan Zhi frowned and said impatiently: “You ask me, how do I know!”

“Did you say that the old lady’s harm to the industry is gone? But in the past few years, there is no place where a lot of money is used in the mansion. You said that if we Ru’er make a marriage, the mansion will take the money out of our daughter. Do we have a dowry? It’s just a little bit of money that we have been saving for years. It’s natural to do a dowry for Ru’er. But in addition to Ru’er, there is still such a family who can’t live up to their lives, and the boss It’s not too young. It’s sixteen this year, and it’s not too late to get married for another two years, but at that time you have to give the woman a betrothal gift, which is another piece of silver. There is also Ling girl, and second child…

Xue’s thoughts became more annoying, and he couldn’t help but pinch Yan Zhi, “I’m so anxious that my hair is almost white, how can you still sleep! According to me, we might as well have been separated back then, and there was a little bit of it. In the industry, let’s eat frugally, and it won’t be as difficult as it is now. For so many years, the income has been held in the hands of the old lady, and no one else can touch it. Apart from daily wear, there is no extra money in the hand. You can do anything you want. Difficult. Finally, I saved some money in my hands, and the children are big enough to see them, and there are places to spend money everywhere.”

Yan Zhi was very reluctant to listen to Xue clan talking about these, especially the phrase’not as good as,’ he said with a displeased face: “What happened to those days when they were divided? You don’t know! Where are those who come all day long? Why, I told you a long time ago that we must prepare for the worst, and that bit of the industry will be treated as if we have eaten and drank as a family for so many years, so don’t talk about it again in the future!”

But how can you just eat and drink!

Yan Zhi has been smart since he was a child, and his mouth is sweet, and he can also coax people. Not only does the old lady love it, but also the eldest son. Although he was a concubine, he was raised in the old lady’s room. Everything is better than the other concubines, although they are not as good as two concubines. Yes, but it’s also top-notch.

When the old Houye separated his family business before his death, Yan Ting and Yan Qu won the two big heads. Yan Zhi is naturally inferior to them, but he is much better than the other concubines. Not only did he have two excellent shops, Datian and Datian. Zhuangzi still has four, and the old Houye’s private money also divided him more than two thousand taels. Except for the little money, these things were not yet in his hands and were collected by the old lady and put them in the public.

In all these years, even if a person in Dafang has eight mouths, the wealth of those industries cannot be exhausted.

But Yan Zhi seems to be slick, but in fact he is still a man of filial piety, and he can handle him clearly. He always felt that his father and old lady were treating him well anyway. Although he was raised and abandoned by the old lady, he is now worthless, but no matter what, people still treat him as a half son to hurt him. His family is in this house. It can be considered a lot of light.

Each person stands in his own position and has his own discretion, including he to please flattery, and he does not have any pure thoughts. In the same way, if people are close to their sons first, even if their minds are not so pure, don’t say anything, because everyone is not pure.

But sometimes that kind of pain is really painful, and Yan Zhi can actually feel it, no matter what it is for.

Dafang and the couple are not stupid, they have already seen some clues. The Xue family was a woman, and she was in charge of the money in the family, so she worried a little more, and couldn’t help but complain a few words before Yan Zhi. Yan Zhi wanted to be more thorough than her, and he cared about the feelings he had before. After all, this is already the case. Even if those industries are really gone, what else, is it possible to have trouble with the old lady? It can only be regarded as nothing, so I feel more comfortable.

“Why don’t you mention it? Don’t mention what we eat and drink in the future, what will the son take to marry a wife? Just relying on your salary, I would have starved to death. I admit that Dad treated us well at that time, and the old lady was okay on the surface. , But you are the surname Yan, don’t forget, is it true that because you are a bastard, you should die? You always compare yourself with those bastards, you forget how much you have paid for everything today? Old aunt There, you haven’t called a mother until now. She doesn’t leave the house on weekdays, so we pretend to be stupid as no one. You pretended to be stupid for so many years so as not to arouse her hatred. Huon Duri, Yan Zhi, are you suffocated? I tell you, you don’t owe her, you deserve everything!”

Yan Zhi stared at the Xue family for a long time before wiping his face decadently.

“Well, what you said is right. But if that’s the case, what can you do?”

Xue did not speak for a while.

“Okay, okay.” Yan Zhi pulled her down to lie down, and blew on the lamp, “Seng Ri wants to do so much, so let’s take a step and see. It can’t get to the point you said, the sky will fall. Isn’t there still a second child holding it down there!”

Every time they talked about these things, Yan Zhi would always use this statement to appease the Xue family.

As the tall man Yan Ting in “The sky is falling down and there is a tall man standing on top”, he has been unsatisfied recently.

What happened was the biggest humiliation in Yan Ting’s life.

He thought about killing Xu Xiangrong to vent his hatred, but he didn’t even have the courage to do it, and in the end he could only choose to avoid it.

These days, many friends outside invited Yan Ting out, but Yan Tingju refused one by one. Every day, I almost went back to the mansion. After returning to the mansion, except occasionally to the old lady, he didn’t even enter the backyard and always stayed in his front yard study.

Even so, he also met Xu Xiangrong twice while working as a errand in the palace. Although the two did not talk, the expression in Xu Xiangrong’s eyes always made Yan Ting feel chills in his bones.

Yan Ting suffered from insomnia all night, and then used alcohol to anesthetize himself. He can’t sleep without drinking, but he always has nightmares after drinking.

It was only a short period of less than a month, and Yan Ting lost weight sharply.

The old lady thought that he was too hard working as an errand, and the incident of Yan Qian’s disappearance was noisy, only Yan Ting himself knew why.

**

Soon it was the day of Yan Yan and Yan.

On the first two days of the day, Shen Yiyao began to make arrangements.

In the courtyard where guests were treated that day, the hall where the wedding ceremony was held, and the banquet after the wedding ceremony, red silk was hung everywhere in the palace, and the decorations were all new.

On the contrary, Yan Yan is quite leisurely. In addition to preparing the clothes and jewelry that she will wear that day, she is also ready to attend in the best state of mind.

Compared with Yan Yan, the protagonist, Yan Ru and Yan Ling are even more nervous. Because the second aunt told the two of them, it is time to let them help entertain the female guests. They have never hosted such a big scene as the host, and it is inevitable that they are uneasy.

Shen Yiyao took a lot of thought for her daughter to be decent this time. The one thousand taels allocated by the public school was naturally not enough, and she paid for all the rest. Everything must be perfect, and the choice of the right guest and the complimenter alone will not change a few times.

At the beginning, Shen Yiyao was planning to let her second sister-in-law be the honorable guest of her daughter and the ceremony, but the honorable guest candidate is also very particular. It is best to have both parents and in-laws in the hall, and have both children and family members. High moral character.

Mrs. Shen met everywhere, except for one thing. Only sons and no daughters can not be regarded as both sons and daughters.

Shen Yiyao was very conflicted. After thinking about it for a few days, she decided to invite Ma Quanfang to be the regular guest, Mrs. Shen Er as the praiser, and Xue as Yusi, the assistant of the regular guest and the praiser.

But when the words reached Yan Yan, they were refuted.

Yan Yan Yili demanded that her second aunt should be her regular guest, even if her children were incomplete. But in her mind, only the second aunt was qualified to issue hairpins on her hairpins, indicating that she was an adult.

It’s not that Ma Quanfang is not good enough, but that Mrs. Shen’s meaning to Yan Yan is different. There were so many unspeakable things in the process, and only Yan Yan could understand it in her heart.

Shen Yiyao couldn’t grind Yan Yan, and she also thought that this righteous guest would not let her second sister-in-law come, so she promised it because she couldn’t justify her.

He sent someone to deliver the letter in advance, and Mrs. Shen was surprised after being invited.

Yan Yan and Yan, it is not a trivial matter here in Zhen Guo Gong’s Mansion. If it weren’t for the granddaughter to be dragged to Zhen Guo Gong to hold the ceremony, Zhen Guo Gong might really do such a thing.

Mrs. Shen Er began to feel nervous early on, but she also knew that she was not qualified to be a proper guest, so she thought it was feasible to be a praiser at this time.

Of course, my heart will inevitably be sad.

Who would have thought that she had received an invitation letter inviting her to be the guest of honor. Mrs. Shen Er was both happy and uneasy. After asking the person who sent the letter for a long time, she knew that Yan Yan asked to do so, and she couldn’t help shed tears of excitement.

Mrs. Shen’s second wife has always been a steady and self-controlling person, and she rarely gaffes so much. But to her, A Yan is no less than her own daughter, and being able to make hairpins for her has a very different meaning.

On the day of Yan Yan and Yan, Weiyuan Hou Mansion was a lively event.

In front of the house, there were endless carriages, and all the wives of the various families came to attend the ceremony.

Duke Zhen and his family were all present. This was the first time Duke Zhen had stepped into the gate of Yan’s family. Even if it was the funeral of Weiyuanhou before, he just asked his son to come to worship, this time it was for his granddaughter.。

Participants in the rites are generally female, but they are not without males. First of all, as the father of Yan Zhe, Yan Ting is going to be there. The male guest of Zhen Guo Gong’s family as Yan Yan’s grandfather, uncle, and cousin also have this qualification.

The arrival of Zhen Guo’s family has attracted countless people’s admiration. If you know Zhen Guo’s family, it is extremely difficult to tell the current people. Although Zhen Guogong’s family acted domineering, but they have always had fewer friends. Others hold banquets and drinks, and rarely invite men from Zhenguo’s house. At most, Mrs. Shen’s second wife and Mrs. Zhenguo go out to socialize.

As Mrs. Zhen Guogong grew older, she seldom went out, so the second wife Shen was mostly walking outside in the Shen family.

If the appearance of the Lord Zhen Guo is amazing, then the rewards coming from the palace behind are even more surprising.

The first to come was the reward of Emperor Xi. The reward was very ordinary, that is, one battle of pearls and two handles of wishful thinking. As soon as the people in the previous palace left, the reward came again, but this time it was rewarded by the Empress Xiao, with a stubborn hair.

The hairpin is a hairpin carved from mutton fat and white jade, and the hairpin is the last stroke of the word for life. Unique craftsmanship and exquisite carving.

As the mother of a country, Empress Xiao gave a hairpiece to Yan Yan and the ceremony, the meaning of which is self-evident.

Yan Yan’s ceremony is not the most grand and unprecedented in Beijing, but it is the most honorable. The emperor and the queen gave rewards to a little girl’s ceremony, even in the homes of princes and ministers.

Naturally, Emperor Xi looked at the face of the town’s granddaughter and gave his granddaughter a face, but Empress Xiao’s reward was somewhat unexpected.

Shortly before the start of Yanli, a turmoil occurred.

Yan Ting never appeared. After the report came up, Shen Yiyao’s internal organs were burned, and she ordered people to look around.

She has been so busy these few days that she rarely meets Yan Ting’s face. Just two days before the first day of the day, someone was sent to inform him, thinking that Yan Ting would not be absent on such an important day, so he didn’t care about it. Who knew that such a thing happened.

Yan Ting was in the mansion, but he drank too much in the study the first night, and he hasn’t woken up until now. When the servants found him, he was asleep, very embarrassed, with a stubble look on his face. Wake up in a hurry, people cleaned up their appearances, and came in a hurry. Fortunately, it was just before the auspicious hour.

As the auspicious time arrived, Yan Yan’s ceremony began.

In praise and chanting, the satin black hair draped behind her was hand-held by Mrs. Shen’s second wife. The hairpin with white jade for longevity, which was rewarded by the queen on the hairpin, represents Licheng.

Shen Yiyao has a hairpin prepared for her daughter to insert the hairpin, but since the queen rewarded one, it was naturally the one that the queen on the hairpin rewarded.

Praise sing: “The zhe worships Yousi and all the guests—”

Yan Yan solemnly bowed in order, and the audience answered.

Li Cheng.

The praise ceremony also sings: “The ritual is completed, please the parents of the cultivator to bow to all those who observe the ceremony.”

Afterwards, the audience led by the praisers left the venue in turn to go to the banquet.

Lord Zhen Guo didn’t stay long, and left after Yan Yan Li Cheng, together with Shen Ding, Shen Qi and Mrs. Zhen Guo. The wife of Zhen Guogong felt the wind and cold occasionally, and she was not suitable to go out, but today is the day when her granddaughter is older, so she forced her sick body to be there.

Only Mrs. Shen Er was left to help entertain the female guests who came to watch the ceremony in Weiyuan Houfu.

Xue’s was a big show today, and she felt extremely embarrassed when she became a director under the public’s attention. On the other side, Yan Ru and Yan Ling respectfully led the ladies to the table. The seats were not opened much, and there were only a dozen tables, but there were all well-known ladies in Beijing.

Yan Ru and Yan Ling’s generosity attracted the praise of many ladies. They were neither humble nor overbearing, with decent smiles on their faces. Naturally, the Chen family would not miss such a good opportunity, and also pushed the sixth girl and the seventh girl out.

But Yan Xia and Yan Juan were both introverted and afraid of living by her, and they looked restrained. On the contrary, they had a counterproductive effect, which made Yan Ru’s elegant and decent, cute and polite with Yan Ling.

After the banquet, some people asked Shen Yiyao, Mrs. Shen Er, Ma Quanfang and others.

Knowing that this is the cousin of Yan Yan, Shen Yiyao’s niece, although her husband’s background is not high, it is a bit of a sigh, but besides having children and descendants who need to get married, these ladies here also have many relatives. Offspring.

All in all, the appearance of Yan Ru and Yan Ling won the eyes of many ladies, and it is sure that people who come to ask for relatives will come in an endless stream in the future.

And Yan Yan, the host of the wedding banquet, was stunned at the present Luo Huaiyuan had brought home at Ningxiang Pavilion at this time.

If it is a modern person, it is natural to know what this thing is at a glance, but the key point is that Yan Yan is not a modern person.

On a huge table of the Eight Immortals, there was a table of pink flowers. It’s all in the eyes, countless, charming, magnificent and gorgeous. The matte color and beautiful appearance, even Yan Yan, who has never had a little girl’s love for beauty, can’t help but be amazed.

On top of the flower is a small co-composed card, spread out to see, with a few words written on it—

It is said that in the distant West, there is a kind of flower called rose, and its flower language represents love.

999 roses represent everlasting and endless love.

Although these are not real flowers, it’s just that I listened to people in Fuzhou, and later I found the exquisite Xiu Niang to make them with satin silk, but I believe that Sister A Yan will understand my heart…

…

Along with these flowers, there is also a long strip of small box.

Yan Yan opened it, and inside was a golden hairpin.

This gold hairpin is made of gold wire into a curly grass pattern substrate, and gold wire is used to make a three-dimensional wishful cloud pattern on it. While a phoenix is ​​soaring, the phoenix and the cloud pattern are all made of hair-like gold wire. There was a bright and dazzling pink gem in the middle of the phoenix mouth.

There was also a small piece of paper in it, on which it was written-

‘I’ve been fouling up with the prince for several days, and the queen is also stingy, so she will send you a white hosta. It’s okay, your husband, I have money, we sell it, and you will marry me in the future, and you want to buy a few of them. Let’s buy a dozen at a time and plug them all in! ’

Imagining that she had a hairpin in her, Yan Yan couldn’t help but laugh, but tears were shining in her eyes.
