Chapter 731
When Shao Yanran entered the wine cellar, she could smell the intoxicating aroma of wine. Yan Wenzhen just opened a jar of wine and was savoring the taste carefully.When everyone saw Shao Yanran coming, they hurriedly got up and saluted. Shao Yanran didn't care about it for a while, and after drinking away, everyone went forward to pull Yan Wenzhen, and said in a low voice: "Sister Yan put it down first! Oh, don't be too busy! I will follow you Talk about business!"

"What's the matter?" Yan Wenzhen closed her eyes and smelled the aroma of the wine, and smiled intoxicated.

"Oh, you put it down first." Shao Yanran snatched the wine jar from Yan Wenzhen's hand and handed it to Cardamom beside her, and anxiously took Yan Wenzhen's hand, "My mother is going to be engaged to my brother!"

Yan Wenzhen was taken aback, Fang chuckled and asked, "Really? Which family's girl is it?"

"It will be too late to decide which girl it is!" Shao Yanran sighed.

"What are you talking about?" Yan Wenzhen chuckled and picked up the cork to seal the wine, and whispered to Cardamom, "This batch of wine will be ready in three days, mark it."

Shao Yanran pulled Yan Wenzhen's arm anxiously, and sighed, "Did you understand what I mean?"

"Understood." Yan Wenzhen smiled lightly and took Shao Yanran's hand back, "The county chief has chosen a relative for the major general, right?"

"Yeah, just five days later, at my third aunt's birthday banquet. My mother discussed with my eldest aunt just now, and said that my brother and I would be allowed to go there at that time, and that I would help my brother to see a gentle and humble sister-in-law. But... I only like you as my sister-in-law!" Shao Yanran said in a low voice.

Yan Wenzhen hurriedly said: "This is not allowed to be nonsense!"

"Who is talking nonsense? You don't know what my brother is thinking?" Shao Yanran snorted, "I'm afraid that with his temper, even if all the girls in the imperial capital are gathered in front of him, he won't look down on any of them. "

"You'll have to watch it before you know." Yan Wenzhen said with a light smile.

"You..." Shao Yanran looked at Yan Wenzhen, who was as calm as a breeze, and was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

"Yanran, you think highly of me and treat me as your sister. I don't treat you as an outsider anymore. Let's go out and talk." Yan Wenzhen took Shao Yanran's hand and stood up. The two left the wine cellar and went to the garden outside to find Sit down in a cool, ventilated place.

"Sister Yan, my brother really likes you." Shao Yanran said, then gave Yan Wenzhen another hand, and asked anxiously, "You are not stupid! Can you tell?"

Yan Wenzhen smiled and said, "Even if I'm stupid, I can tell. Your brother is really kind to me."

"You finally said something that made me feel comfortable." Shao Yanran snorted.

Yan Wenzhen smiled again, looked at the lush purple bamboo in front of him, and said, "But, it's impossible for me and your brother."

"Why is that impossible?" Shao Yanran asked in bewilderment, "My brother likes you, and you also have feelings for my brother. That Bai Shaoyu married another woman a long time ago, and your engagement has been broken off long ago. Oh, yes, my mother I don’t quite agree with this matter, but... the key is that my brother likes you!”

"Marriage matters, parents' order, matchmaker's words." After Yan Wenzhen finished speaking, she smiled self-deprecatingly, "So, it is impossible for me and your brother. Girl Yanran, thank you for protecting me and thinking about me. But I Yan Wenzhen is still self-aware. Don't mention this matter in the future, okay?"

Shao Yanran stared at Yan Wenzhen for a while, and finally sighed: "Okay, anyway, my mother and my aunt have settled on this matter, and I can't stop it. I'm also in a hurry about your matter, you Get busy, I'm going back to take a shower, it's too hot."

"Okay." Yan Wenzhen got up and watched Shao Yanran leave, and stood alone for a long time before returning.

Shao Juncong went to the palace to meet the emperor today, and it was already after dinner when he came back.After entering the courtyard, I found that the courtyard was quiet and there was no light in the west wing, so I felt strange, so I called a woman to come to ask, the woman said that Miss Yan stayed in the wine cellar for a long time in the afternoon, and it was dark when she came back. It was getting late, and I didn't eat dinner. I just said I was tired, so I went to bed early.

Since it was a busy afternoon, he must be tired.Shao Juncong didn't care, just ate something, washed up and went to bed.

It was always the habit of generals to get up and practice swords before dawn, and Shao Juncong did the same.After practicing the sword, she was drenched in sweat, took a shower and changed clothes, and went to the room to greet her parents. Wei Yiyi then ordered: "In a few days, your third aunt's birthday, your eldest aunt held a birthday banquet, and both of you brothers and sisters will come back with me." The Hou Mansion pays homage to the birthday."

Shao Juncong said in embarrassment: "Yesterday, His Majesty just explained the errand, and I am afraid that he will be out of Beijing for two days."

"Then when are you leaving?" Wei Yiyi asked.

"Let's go today." Shao Juncong said.

"Then when are you coming back?"

"That's hard to say." Shao Juncong frowned, "But it's only a matter of two or three days."

Wei Yiyi smiled and said, "Okay, you can go. I'll ask someone to tell your aunt that when you come back, the birthday banquet will be held. I will be waiting for you."

"Ah?" Shao Juncong was dumbfounded immediately, "The third aunt's birthday banquet... why are you waiting for me?"

"Your third aunt is only your nephew, so the birthday banquet will naturally be waiting for you. If you have the heart, you should finish your errands and come back early, so don't delay paying her birthday wishes."

"This..." Shao Juncong felt that this was very strange, so he turned to look at Shao Yanran.

Shao Yanran was warned by her mother, so naturally she didn't dare to talk too much, so she took a piece of vegetables for Shao Juncong with the chopsticks, and said, "Brother, just listen to mother, go early and return early."

Shao Juncong nodded, ate the last bite of rice in the bowl, stood up and said, "Mom, I'm done eating."

"Then hurry up, the errand given by the emperor must not be delayed."

"Well, I'm leaving." Shao Juncong called Zang Feng to him when he went out of the upper door, and ordered in a low voice: "There is something strange about the third aunt's birthday banquet, don't go with me, stay and find out about this matter .”

"You don't need to check. The subordinates just asked Qing Xing. It was the chief of the county who chose a good match for the grandfather together with the uncle and grandma! The third uncle's grandma's birthday banquet is an excellent opportunity. The uncle and grandma will count all the people in the capital. All good girls are invited to show you the princess and the major general."

After hearing this, Shao Juncong couldn't help but support his forehead: "So, Miss Yan also knows about this?"

Zang Feng sighed: "Need to say, the girl came back from the mansion over there yesterday and went to look for Miss Yan, Qing Xing only knew the whole story after listening to the girl talking to Miss Yan."

Shao Juncong sighed, raised his hand to take the whip from Zang Feng's hand, and said, "Okay, let's go."

Zang Feng agreed, and quickly waved his hand to the back, the horse boy led the horse over, Shao Juncong jumped on the horse's back, and patted the horse away.

Shao Juncong had been away for more than a month, during which time he sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he was very good, and told his family not to worry about it, but the errands were not going well, and he would not be able to come back for a while.

At the birthday banquet of the third lady of Ninghou Mansion, many good girls came, some from the family of poetry and books, and some from the family of military generals, but Wei Yiyi didn't like any of them, and she thought in her heart that she must Choose a son who likes it, otherwise it will be troublesome to marry the young couple who are not at ease, so the original plan has come to nothing, and now I have to worry about my son.

Shao Juncong didn't come back until early July, and was called by his mother as soon as he entered the house.

Wei Yiyi is straightforward and doesn't like to beat around the bush when she does anything. Seeing her son, she immediately pushed seven or eight big red posts in front of him, and said sternly: "These are the girls from the families I selected. They have all matched their characters. They are all suitable, and they can grow old together. Moreover, these girls are also very good in temperament and appearance. I have seen them with your three aunts, and they all agree. You choose one, and I will send someone to go there tomorrow. Come to propose marriage."

Shao Juncong didn't even look at it, he just stood up and knelt at his mother's feet, and said loudly: "My son is not filial, I don't like these women."

"Then who do you like? As long as the family is right, Niang Ming'er will definitely marry you in."

Shao Juncong kowtowed and replied: "As for my mother, I like Yan Wenzhen, I only like her, and I only want to marry her alone. I can go to battle to kill enemies and make contributions, and I can also handle local government affairs to share your worries. I will work hard on state affairs, Earn a bright future for yourself, be filial to your mother in the future, and seal your wife and son, so the son doesn't want to be in the same family, but just wants to marry a beloved person."

"You must marry that cook?!" Wei Yiyi was so angry that she slapped the table, "Do you have to fight against me and make me mad before you give up?"

"A son is definitely not against his mother. To make his mother angry is the son's unfilial piety. The son deserves to die. But if the mother lets the son marry someone he doesn't like, then the son's life would be worse than death." Shao Juncong knelt on the ground, his tone neither soft nor soft Hard, calm as if stating a fact.

"Get out!" Wei Yiyi shouted angrily, "Don't let me see you!"

Shao Juncong responded, kowtowed and said: "My son is not filial, please don't get angry and take care of yourself." After speaking, he really stood up, turned and left.

"You..." Wei Yiyi looked at her son's back, became anxious for a while, raised her hand to grab the teacup at hand and threw it towards the door.

There was a sound of "pop", and the broken porcelain splashed, scaring the people who were serving next to them out of their wits, and they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
