Chapter 274 Flattery
Only the old man An, father and son An Yanshu and the magistrate were in the main room, and Mrs. An took An Zhinan outside to enjoy the praises of the village. Her face was blooming and she was extremely proud.

"Auntie An, now that Yanshu has become a high official, do you want to take your whole family to live in the capital?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that the capital is very prosperous and everything is excellent. Yan Shu has now become an official master. Will your family go to the capital in the future?"

The sudden inquiry made Mrs. An stunned for a moment. She had heard about the scenery of the capital for a long time, and she wanted to see it even if she was an old man. Now that the eldest grandson is an official, he will definitely settle in the capital in the future. If I don't go, I'm afraid I can only see him once during the New Year and holidays. The thought of seeing him only once a year makes Mrs. An very uncomfortable.

Seeing the change in grandma's expression, An Zhinan probably guessed her thoughts, took her arm and said with a smile: "Brother will definitely settle down in the capital in the future, if grandma is reluctant, then our family will go to the capital. If I miss my uncles and aunts, I will come back together during the holidays."

Mrs. An's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands fiercely and said, "Really, why didn't I think of this level, it's because my Nan Nan is smart."

When the people around listened to Mrs. An's words, they only felt toothache, and they were more envious.

At this time, someone noticed Wei Xin at the end, and laughed and teased her.

"I didn't realize it before, but Xin girl is still very handsome. After going to the capital, her skin has turned white a lot. Now she is fine. Not only has Yan Shu been listed, but she has also become an official. Waiting for you to get married, you But you are an official lady, what a blessing, or else you have the foresight to find a man like Yanshu who has become a great talent."

Wei Xin's face was flushed by the words of his aunt in front of him, he lowered his head and pinched his dress without saying a word.

Mrs. An and An Zhinan smiled at the same time, and they pulled Wei Xin in front of them. Mrs. An held Wei Xin with one hand, and said with a smile: "I also watched this girl grow up. We are lucky to have inkstone books in our family." , marry such a daughter-in-law, no one in the three villages and four neighbors knows that Xin girl is hardworking and can endure hardships. If you want me to say that her mother can take care of children, look how good this girl is."

Wei Xin suddenly looked at Mrs. An with a sweet smile on his face.

In the past half month, many people actually knew about the second place in An Yan's book, but before the definite news came back, many people were skeptical, and there were still many aunts and six wives who talked behind their backs.

How could Yanshu be in the list at such a young age? It was still the second place.

If something really hits the mark, then Wei Xin is not worthy of An Yanshu.

Why should An Yanshu marry an official lady? Wei Xin, a country girl who can only do farm work, can't be a Jinshi lady.

All kinds of rumors spread into the ears of Chenghua and Mrs. An. They happened to be washing clothes by the river together at that time. After hearing these ugly words, they took the washboard and went to those who gossiped behind their backs on the spot.

Although there were no more rumors in the village in the end, it was still unavoidable to talk to the family in private, and it was a pity for An Yanshu.

Why did I know that I was on the list at such a young age, I shouldn't have gotten engaged so quickly at the beginning, but now that I'm fine, I don't even want to regret it.

These words more or less passed into Wei Xin's ears. At first, Wei Xin felt that he was not worthy of An Yanshu, but now he feels even more inferior. Now Mrs. An is very sure of Wei Xin in front of everyone, which makes the originally inferior and frightened My heart calmed down a little.

For Mrs. An's words, all the women responded with smiles, but the meaning between their eyebrows and eyes was unclear.

Mrs. An clapped her hands, and said with a smile on her face: "In a few days, the marriage between Yanshu and Xin girl will also be held. Now that the emperor has made an official again, our old An's family can be said to be a double blessing. At that time, we will invite everyone Come home to have a wedding wine."

"It must be. If we get half of this day's great fortune, it is also a good thing to burn incense and worship Buddha."

"Yes, yes, I must come, and I will help when the time comes."

"And me and me, it just so happens that the work in the field is almost done during this time, so come to help earlier then."

Everyone rushed to come to work, and Mrs. An was naturally eager. After all, every household in the village had to come to eat this time, so I don't know how tired they are.

"Then I'm going to trouble everyone. Come back. The old lady is going in to greet the guests."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. An took An Zhinan with one hand and Wei Xin with the other and walked into the house.

Approaching the entrance of the main room, Wei Xin stopped, and couldn't help being nervous when he heard the talking and laughing voice inside: "Grandma An, why don't I go home, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to have guests."

"This is your home too, don't be afraid," said Mrs. An, leading Wei Xin into the main room, and when she saw the conversation stopped inside, she smiled and said, "You talk about you, leave us alone."

Several people in An Zhinan met before, but Wei Xin didn't know him. Suddenly, Mrs. An intimately led them into the house, and they all showed doubts.

Chen Zhong was the first to ask, "Who is this girl?"

Wei Xin retreated behind Mrs. An, his face tensed.

Mrs. An pulled Wei Xin to her side, and said with a smile: "This girl is Yanshu's daughter-in-law, and they should get married after a while."

The two officials, including Chen Zhong, were astonished.

"It turned out to be Hanlin's daughter-in-law. By then, my eyesight will be dull. It seems that Hanlin's good news is about to come. At that time, I will have the cheek to come here and ask for a glass of wedding wine."

An Yanshu smiled slightly, and cupped his hands towards Chen Zhong: "If Mr. Chen can come, the cottage will surely flourish."

"Hanlin is too modest, I don't know when the good day will be?"

"There are four more days until we get married."

Chen Zhong smiled and nodded, expressing that he must come.

Afterwards, the official chatted with An Yanshu for a while, during which Mrs. An went out.

When the time was up, the two officials stood up and handed each other over.

"It's getting late, I have to rush back to Beijing, so I won't bother Hanlin here, so I'm leaving."

An Yanshu got up as well, and asked to stay: "It's not too late for you two to leave after dinner at home."

"No, no, no, I really don't dare to delay, everyone stay here."

Wen Yan, Mrs. An and the others still sent the official messenger to the gate before stopping.

Chen Zhong wanted to go back to town, so he left with two officials.

Mrs. An stretched her neck to look at the three people who were going away, and asked with a smile: "Do you think Mr. Chen will really come when the time comes?"

An Zhinan nodded with certainty: "I don't think Mr. Chen was joking just now. He will definitely come. Isn't there a big brother here?"

Mrs. An glanced at An Yanshu, and then realized: "Come on, come on, prepare an extra table, there are four days before Yanshu gets married, Nannan, are you ready? "

"Don't worry, grandma, I will take dad to town tomorrow."
