There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 725

[Chapter 725, Marriage Grant (two in one chapter)]

Yan Mansion.

As soon as Daohua came back from Nancheng, she heard that Mrs. Han was here.

Thinking that the person who came was the sister-in-law’s mother, Daohua went back to the room to wash and tidy up before going to the old lady’s yard to see the visitor.

After entering the old lady’s room, I found that not only Mrs. Han was here, but also another lady.

When Mrs. Li saw Daohua, she immediately smiled and said, “Come and meet your Auntie Han and Auntie Fang.” Daohua

smiled and went forward to salute.

Mrs. Han said with a smile: “This is Yiyi, she really looks beautiful.”

Daohua frowned slightly, her words were flattering, but now rumors about her and Xiao Yeyang are spreading in the capital. Flying all over the sky, most of them said that she was seductive and seductive. At this time, she was praising her for her good looks, which sounded a little uncomfortable.

Next, the Mrs. Fang made Daohua feel even more unhappy.

Mrs. Fang didn’t say anything inappropriate, but her eyes unscrupulously looked at Daohua from head to toe. That’s not counting. After reading it, she shook her head slightly.

Both of them are used to making scenes, except for Dao Hua who was keenly unhappy, the others didn’t notice it. Driven by Han Xinran intentionally, everyone in the room was talking and laughing.

After that, Daohua noticed that Mrs. Fang looked at her critically a few times, which made her very annoyed. She endured the discomfort and sat with her for a while, then found an excuse to leave.

Han Xinran saw her, looked at Mrs. Han and Mrs. Fang, talked to Mrs. Li, and left together.

After leaving the house, Han Xinran said with a smile: “Big sister, your big brother got some good tea, would you like to come to my room to taste it?

” up.

When the two passed by the garden, they saw Yan Wenxiu and Fang Hao sitting in the pavilion chatting.

Han Xinran immediately smiled and said: “It’s your elder brother and my cousin Fang Hao, they came back so early today, let’s go, let’s go and see what they are talking about.” Then, he pulled Daohua and walked over.

Fang Hao is Han Xinran’s cousin, Daohua couldn’t avoid it, so he followed Han Xinran to the pavilion.

After entering the pavilion, Daohua greeted Yan Wenxiu first, and then turned to Fang Haofu: “Mr. Fang.”

Fang Hao immediately replied: “Sister Yan.”

Han Xinran smiled and sat down with Daohua : “The eldest sister is too heretic, we are all relatives, why not call him a son or a son, you can also call me cousin.”

Daohua glanced at her elder brother, saw him sitting aside with a smile, Thinking of the Mrs. Fang in the grandmother’s house, I had some kind of speculation in my heart, and I became annoyed for no reason.

“Brother, why are you with Mr. Fang?”

Listening to Daohua not changing his words, Fang Hao’s eyes flickered, and the smile on Han Xinran’s face was also a little stagnant.

Yan Wenxiu said with a smile: “My cousin and I are both employed in the Imperial Academy.” Because of his wife, they have been in a lot of contact in the past two years.

Han Xinran took over the words: “Some time ago, my cousin brought my aunt to the capital. I just finished my family affairs. Today, my mother brought her to visit our house.”

Fang Hao looked at Daohua, then smiled He said to Yan Wenxiu: “I need to bother you more in the future.”

Yan Wenxiu said with a smile: “We are all relatives, so we should walk around more.” .

After that, Han Xinran continued to lead Daohua to talk to Fang Hao, but Daohua only responded politely.

The sister-in-law’s purpose was too obvious. Seeing that her elder brother didn’t stop her, Daohua felt a little more irritable, but she didn’t blame him. Only her grandmother and parents knew about her and Xiao Yeyang’s affairs.

Now that she was caught in gossip, it was understandable that he was anxious about his life-long affairs.

I can understand that I understand it, but I don’t agree with it. Shouldn’t I tell her in advance about this kind of thing?

Also, judging by the appearance of grandma and mother just now, it is estimated that they don’t know.

Fang Hao saw that Dao Hua was not very warm to him, and asked with a smile: “Sister Yan doesn’t remember me?”

Dao Hua looked at him and said, “I remember, besides being my sister’s cousin, you are also The fifth uncle of my cousin Zixuan’s family.”

Fang Hao smiled: “Sister Yan may know me because of relatives, but I knew Sister Yan when the plague broke out in Jiguang a few years ago.”

Smell Yan Wenxiu and Han Xinran looked over together.

Fang Hao continued to laugh and said: “At that time, I was also in Jiguang for disaster relief. Because I had contacts with Governor Guo, I knew that sister Yan went to the city to save her brother at the risk of her life. I remember when I heard about it, I especially admire Sister Yan’s courage.”

Daohua was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, “That was all many years ago, I don’t even remember.” Then she stood up, “Brother, sister-in-law, I still have something to do, so I won’t delay your entertaining guests, I’ll go first.”

Seeing Daohua leave, Han Xinran glanced at Fang Hao, and hurriedly followed.

“Big sister!”

Leaving the garden, Daohua stopped and looked at Han Xinran who called her to stop.

Han Xinran saw that Daohua’s expression was not quite right, and thinking that she was always smart, she should have guessed her purpose, so he asked, “Big sister, what do you think of my cousin?”

Daohua frowned, her voice a bit cold Hard: “Sister-in-law, have you talked to your mother about this?”

Han Xinran shook his head: “My mother and Aunt Fang are in a hurry today, and I haven’t said anything yet.”

Daohua exhaled, her tone a bit aggressive: ” Sister-in-law, I know you have good intentions, but many times good intentions will do bad things, you don’t know what my mother will think about my marriage, what do you think she will think? No mother-in-law would like a daughter-in-law to intervene in her daughter’s marriage without authorization. ”

Han Xinran was stunned for a moment, he didn’t expect Daohua’s reaction to be so strong, and he felt a little uncomfortable: “I didn’t want to make decisions without authorization, today I just let you meet, before that, I also asked your elder brother, your elder brother There is no objection.”

“Fang Hao is my cousin. He knows everything about his family background and character.”

Dao Hua really didn’t want to hear this, so she raised her hand to interrupt Han Xinran: “Sister-in-law, no matter how good Mr. Fang is, I and I It’s impossible for him. My grandmother and parents decide my marriage, so don’t worry about it.”

Looking at Daohua who walked away, Han Xinran was really angry, and when he returned to his yard, I couldn’t help complaining to Nanny Han: “My eldest sister really needs to change her temper. I’m kind enough for her, and it’s fine if I don’t appreciate it. What’s the matter if you throw a face at me?”

Nanny Han hurriedly persuaded : “Don’t be angry, girl. I think the eldest girl is also annoyed by the rumors outside, and the girl’s family is so shy when it comes to her own marriage, that’s why she showed her face.”

Han Xinran sighed: “I am As a sister-in-law, naturally, she won’t be as knowledgeable as her. I am really worried for her. She will be seventeen this year. There are really not many girls who are not engaged at this age, but she and the little prince still spread those rumors Rumors , this marriage is even more difficult.”

Han Momo hesitated: “Miss, do you think it is possible for the eldest girl and the young prince?”

Han Xinran shook his head: “The Yan family is here, how could the royal family agree? ?”

Nanny Han nodded and said no more.

Han Xinran: “Instead of thinking about those things that are out of reach, it’s better to be realistic. You and I know how Cousin Fang Hao is. He has a strong family background and is capable. The most rare thing is that Cousin doesn’t mind the rumors outside. Although she is a few years older than her eldest sister, being older also has its advantages. Cousin is steady and considerate, and my elder sister will definitely enjoy a happy life if she marries him.”

Nanny Han: “Girl, do you care about this matter again?” It’s useless to be overzealous, you have to discuss it with your wife.”

Han Xinran: “I know. Didn’t my mother and aunt come here suddenly today? I didn’t find a chance to say it. However, after the husband knew that his cousin preferred the eldest sister, didn’t he object? As a compliment, I thought about letting my eldest sister and cousin get in touch first.”

At the same time, the old lady’s yard.

Chatting with Mrs. Han and Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Li also gradually realized that something was wrong. No matter what the two talked about, they could bring up their daughter.

Mrs. Fang, who was talking with the mentality of investigating her future daughter-in-law, suddenly asked: “Just now, I looked at Miss Yan as if she just came back from outside?”   Mrs.

Li: “The girl went to see her little sister.”

Disagree: “Mrs. Yan, don’t blame me for talking too much. When this girl is old enough, she should stay in the backyard and go out all day to show her face. She will gossip when people see her.”

Hearing this, Old Madam Yan and Mrs. Li’s complexion became so ugly.

Mrs. Han saw it, and caring that this was her youngest daughter’s in-law’s family, she quickly smoothed things over with a smile: “It’s also that girl Yiyi who is too lovable. As soon as my siblings saw each other, they couldn’t help but rush to protect her.”

Thinking of that Mrs. Fang sighed in her heart for her unmarried son. To be honest, she really didn’t like the eldest daughter of the Yan family. She was attractive and had a bad reputation. If you don’t like it, you have to do what your son wants.

“I’m really good for Yiyi. We are all women. Everyone knows how important a girl’s reputation is. Now that Yiyi is caught in rumors, she should pay more attention to her words and deeds. Otherwise, who Do you dare to come to propose marriage?”

Hearing this, Mrs. Li couldn’t even maintain the politeness on the face, her daughter, the family didn’t say a word, so it’s not the turn of outsiders to make irresponsible remarks.

“Madam’s words are really unreasonable. My daughter is very good. There is no need for outsiders to pity her. Also, my daughter was engaged two years ago. Please don’t talk nonsense, so as not to damage my daughter. Darling!”

Outside, just as Yan Wenxiu and Fang Hao were about to come in, they heard Mrs. Li’s angry words.

Fang Hao was shocked, and quickly turned his head to look at Yan Wenxiu: “Sister Yan is engaged?”

Yan Wenxiu frowned, did not answer, but walked into the room quickly.

Mrs. Li was too lazy to receive Mrs. Han and Mrs. Fang. When she saw Yan Wenxiu, she said directly, “Your mother-in-law finally came here. I think you have a lot to say to Xinran. You can accompany her to see Xinran.”

Seeing Mrs. Li who was clearly angry, Yan Wenxiu and Fang Hao were very surprised.

After all, Mrs. Yan cared about the face of her eldest grandson and daughter-in-law, and said, “After talking in the house for so long, the two ladies are probably bored. Wenxiu will accompany your mother-in-law around the yard.”

Even the grandmother Chasing people away, Yan Wenxiu stopped hesitating and said to Mrs. Han with a smile: “Mother-in-law, my son-in-law will accompany you to the garden.”

Fang Hao also quickly helped his mother.

After people left the house, Mrs. Li snorted, “Who are these people? What right do our daughters have to be picky?” When

Han Xinran heard that his mother and aunt had been invited out by his grandmother and mother-in-law, Han Xinran hurried to come over.

Seeing Han Xinran coming, Yan Wenxiu was worried about the elder sister’s marriage, so he took the opportunity to leave and went to the old lady’s yard.

After Yan Wenxiu walked away, Han Xinran looked at Mrs. Han and Mrs. Fang, both of whom looked unhappy, “Mother, aunt, what’s going on?”

Seeing that her family members were all around, Mrs. Han said bluntly: ” Your mother-in-law’s family background is not good, how can she treat guests like this?” Although what the younger siblings said was inappropriate, Mrs. Li, as the host, shouldn’t have made the scene so tense.

The two of them are in-laws, do they still want to see each other in the future?

Han Xinran frowned. Although her mother-in-law came from a family of merchants, she was her mother-in-law. It was really embarrassing for her mother to say this in front of so many people.

Before Han Xinran could say anything, Mrs. Fang said: “Hao’er, you heard it too, the eldest girl of the Yan family has already engaged, so stop thinking about it!”

Fang Hao frowned and said nothing, I don’t really believe that Daohua is already engaged. He also saw Wenxiu’s surprised look just now. My sister is engaged. Does my brother know?

However, Aunt Yan was so angry just now, I don’t know if my mother and aunt have offended him?

Han Xinran was shocked: “What? The eldest sister has engaged? Why didn’t I know!”

Mrs. Han said, “Your mother-in-law said it herself.” As she spoke, she frowned, “You don’t know about this at all. Do you know?”

Han Xinran didn’t answer, and suddenly thought of the rejection shown by the elder sister when he was pairing up his cousin and elder sister.

“You child, I’m asking you something.”

Mrs. Han was a little displeased when she saw that Han Xinran didn’t answer her.

Han Xinran was in a state of confusion, and looked at Mrs. Han and Mrs. Fang: “Mother, Auntie, I have something to do here, you go back first.” Then, he looked at Fang Hao, “I’m sorry for my cousin to see my mother off. Fang Hao looked at Han Xinran: ”

Cousin Xinran, if Sister Yan is really engaged, please let me know.”

Mrs. Fang was very angry when she saw that her son still didn’t give up.

And Mrs. Han felt very uncomfortable seeing her daughter dismissing herself like this.

Han Xinran sent them to the door. When Mrs. Han got into the carriage, she thought about it and said, “Mother, if there is anything to do in the future, I’d better send someone to tell you in advance. You and your aunt came to the door suddenly today, which made my daughter very upset.” Unprepared.”

Mrs. Han was stunned for a moment, thinking that her cousins were by her side, she felt she lost face, and said with a sneer, “You really forgot your mother’s family when you have a husband’s family!” Saying that, she threw down the curtain of the car, He ordered the coachman to leave.

Looking at the carriage going away, Han Xinran was very hurt in his heart, raised his head to hold back the tears in his eyes, and then turned back to the house.

Prince Ping stayed in Zhuangzi for two days, personally urged his servants to make a batch of rouge, and then returned to the city leisurely.

As soon as Prince Ping returned to the mansion, Madam Ma eagerly told him all kinds of rumors about seriously injuring Xiao Yeyang and Daohua, which made Prince Ping’s brows twitch.

Just when Prince Ping got angry and wanted to ask someone to bring Xiao Yeyang back, someone came from the palace.

Qianqing Palace.

“Brother Huang, are you looking for me?”

Compared to other people’s embarrassment, Prince Ping was very casual when facing the emperor.

The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at him: “Are you willing to go back home?”

Prince Ping smiled and handed several boxes of exquisitely packaged rouge to Eunuch An: “Brother, these are my newly developed rouge creams.

” He squinted at him: “Have you heard about

Yeyang and the daughter of the Yan family?” Prince Ping snorted: “The rumors are spreading all over the sky, of course I know about it. Brother Huang, the daughter of the Yan family is like that.” Disorderly, you must not indulge that boy Yeyang, and really let him marry that charming person.” The

emperor put down the notebook: “I knew about Yeyang and the daughter of the Yan family two years ago, and they The elders on both sides know that it is different from those rumors.”

Hearing this, Prince Ping was suddenly surprised.   The emperor continued: “Speaking of it, it was your son

who provoked the girl first. Now the Jiang family is spreading rumors everywhere, and the girl’s reputation has been ruined. As a father, tell me what to do?” I stopped asking, and after   thinking

for a long time, I said, “Why don’t you let the daughter of the Yan family be Ye Yang’s concubine?”

Concubine, I think she will rush over and teach him a lesson.

“The daughter of the Yan family is the head of the county named by me. When the northern border was unstable, the Yan family donated food and medicine. Now, you want her daughter to be a concubine?”

Prince Ping stopped talking: “.Then brother What do you think?”

The emperor smiled, and handed the imperial edict of marriage that had been drawn up to Prince Ping.

After receiving the imperial edict and reading it, Prince Ping looked a little reluctant, and couldn’t help but said: “Where is the queen mother?” The

emperor said indifferently: “The rumors and rumors came from the Jiang family. Xiao Yeyang, as the prince and grandson, ruined the girl’s reputation. , I should be responsible.”

Prince Ping is very good at reading his face. At this moment, although the emperor is discussing with him, he can see that the emperor has made a decision, and it is useless to know that he is against it. nodded.

“That boy wants to marry a girl from the wrong family. Don’t come to the king and cry to me when something happens in the future!” The

emperor looked at him: “Isn’t your current princess also from the wrong family?”

Prince Ping showed his face . Embarrassed: “How can Yeyang compare with me? I have the emperor brother to rely on. What about him? What does he have? He has an elder brother, and he fights like a black-eyed chicken.” The

emperor shook his head and stopped talking. Yang and Xiao Yechen’s quarrel became like this, and his younger brother should bear full responsibility.

Every family paid close attention to what happened in the palace. When the eunuch carrying the imperial decree went straight to Yan’s family, the well-informed people knew about it.

“By God’s blessing, the emperor’s edict said:

I heard that Yan Yiyi, the eldest daughter of Yan Zhigao, the servant of the household department, is skillful and generous, and has an outstanding appearance. The queen mother and I are very pleased to hear it. Xiao Yeyang, the son of Prince Ping, is suitable for marriage. Choose a good day to get married, here we are!”

When the Yan family knelt down to receive the decree, the news that the emperor bestowed marriage on Xiao Yeyang and the Lord Shengping spread to the ears of every family like wings.
