The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 115

Li Chang'an's eyes were dimmed, and his face, which usually didn't look too old, suddenly turned gray, as if he had suddenly aged several years.

Although Wan Wan is only 11 years old, everyone can see her dependence on Yun'er. No matter whether her feelings for Yun'er are between a man and a woman or not, she cannot do without Yun'er.Just now when I learned that she was going to the capital, I ran to Jin Ling's house.

Seeing that Aunt Yao and Li Changan were both sad, Yingniang quickly wiped away her tears and comforted them, "Birming and I have been to the capital once, and the emperor's feet are very prosperous, and there are noble men and women, talented scholars and famous ladies." It is indeed the place where you and the like should go. You may really be able to choose the crown princess, don't you become relatives of the emperor, the head of the country is great, and your Li family can also turned over."

Although Yingniang persuaded her so much, she didn't think it would be good for Wanhou to go to the palace. If she couldn't be selected as the crown princess, she might be allocated to another prince or the son of some prince, or she might become a palace maid .

But who dares to disobey the imperial decree?What's more, the emperor still has good intentions, and hopes that the Li family will use this to get some glory from the royal family.

Suddenly, Yingniang felt that she had lost her mind, and then said: "Since the emperor intends to let the prince choose Wanhou as a concubine, even if the prince can't choose Wanhou, the emperor should be able to make the prince accept Wanwan as a concubine." If the side concubine is assigned to another prince, she will definitely not be allowed to be a court lady, otherwise, wouldn't the emperor feel indebted to the Li family again?"

Aunt Yao and Li Chang'an fell into deep thought, and felt that Yingniang's analysis was reasonable, the emperor's original intention was for the good of the Li family, as long as he didn't die before the crown prince chose a concubine, he probably wouldn't let Wanhou become a court lady.

Wan Wan's love for Yun'er should be just like that of her big brother, not the love between a man and a woman, right? She is only 11 years old, so she can't like a man so much that she can't let go of it, right?Aunt Yao and Li Chang'an can only think so lucky.

But the truth was not as simple as they thought, Zi Wanwan was crying at Jinling's house.

After Yun'er came back from Qiufengtang, he had finished his homework just now, and because she didn't dare to disturb him, she just played with her own.When Wan Hou ran home, he went to the workshop, because his parents always asked him to come to the workshop more often and help him with the work.

When Wan Hou came again, she first ran into Jinling's house crying, but when she didn't see Yun'er, she ran to the workshop again, crying.

Seeing that there were many people in the workshop, Yun'er was afraid that people would laugh at her, so she took her home.

Wan Wan told Yun'er the matter while wiping away tears, saying that she should not obey the imperial decree and be a show girl.Yun'er handed it to her with a handkerchief, like a big brother coaxing a little sister, "Wipe your tears quickly, there is nothing to cry about, maybe you are really going to be a princess. It's really an honor for the concubine to chase after you and call Brother Yun!"

Seeing that Yun'er didn't take it seriously, Hou Hou even teased her, she let out a wow and cried even harder.

Yun'er was so dizzy from crying, "I don't know how many women in the world envy you. It's such an honor to be in the royal family. After I go to the capital, you won't despise me as a poor relative. See you!" Don't you want to see each other?"

Hou Hou suddenly stood up, "I am very sad, but you still have the heart to make fun of me, who is related to you, my Li family and your Xue family have no relatives for ten or eight generations. relation!"

"Oh, you haven't become a princess yet, and you have already started to shake off our poor relatives? Well, if you are not a relative, you are not a relative. I don't want to go to you. Why are you so angry? "

Hou Wan was so angry that he got up and ran away.

Yun'er sighed, thinking that this clever and cute little sister was going to the capital, although he was reluctant, but sooner or later, Houhou would have to have a husband of her own, so what if he was reluctant as an older brother?

After Yingniang returned to her yard, Bo Ming also came out of the workshop, ready to go home.Just now when he saw Houhou crying and ran into the workshop to find Yun'er, he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was a child making trouble.When he was walking across the main road to his house, he saw Hou Hou crying from Jin Ling's house to her own house again, and suddenly felt that it was not that simple.

Could it be that the 11-year-old Wan Hou really fell in love with the 17-year-old Yun'er?Didn't she just treat Yun'er as a big brother?

After returning home, Boming saw Yingniang's sad face, her eyes were still red, and he was a little surprised, "What's the matter today, you are running around crying, you seem to have cried too?"

Yingniang choked up what happened just now, "Although this is not a bad thing, I am not willing to part with Aunt Yao and Wanhou. They went to the capital this time, and we may not be able to see each other for many years in the future."

Boming was stunned for a long time before he said quietly: "Actually, I have already guessed that there will be such a day that the emperor owes the Li family 400 million taels of silver, so it is impossible to just settle it silently. Small is the status of a nobleman, but they have been buried in our Yongzhen all these years, and it is only natural for them to go to the capital to live a life of rich and noble people."

Ying Niang nodded slightly, "That's right, this is actually a good thing for the Li family. Although Brother Li broke the relationship between father and son with his two sons, the blood cannot be broken. The emperor arranged for Li Min and Li Mao Official position, I heard that he is in charge of the Wuzhou Salt Road, this is a lucrative position. It’s just...between Wanhou and Yun’er, what is...?”

Not only Bo Ming saw Hou Hou crying and running around just now, but also Ying Niang.

She knew that Aunt Yao and Li Chang'an were separated as childhood sweethearts, and if Houhou and Yun'er also had each other in their hearts, they would really follow in Aunt Yao's footsteps.

Bo Ming got up suddenly, "I'll go ask Yun'er."

Yingniang thought, Yun'er is seventeen years old, even if you ask him, he is too embarrassed to say that he likes Wan Wan who is only 11 years old.Forget it, let Boming ask, it's better to ask than to know nothing.

Bo Ming came to Jin Ling's house and saw that Ji Wang and Jin Ling had also returned.He discussed with Ji Wang and Jin Ling in a low voice for a while, intending to find out what Yun'er was thinking.If Yun'er doesn't like Houhou, then hurry up and marry him as a relative, since he's seventeen, it's time for him to marry.

The three of them walked into Yun'er's room together, which made Yun'er quite curious, "Father, mother, uncle, what are you doing, I didn't bully Wan'er, she cried because..."

Jin Ling smiled and said: "We already knew what happened just now, and we didn't blame you. Even Wan Wan was selected as a show girl at such a young age. Now that you are seventeen, it's time to get married. Your uncle just told you I said, there is a girl from a good family who is very suitable for you, do you want me to ask a matchmaker..."

Before Jinling finished speaking, Yun'er quickly stopped, "Big brother hasn't gotten married in his nineteenth year, so why is it my turn? No, I can't hold weddings before him."

"Oh, you just don't want to be ahead of Nian'er? That..." Jin Ling is a straightforward person, so she said directly, "If it's because I like you, I don't want to go to the capital, let alone enter the palace to run for election." Crown Princess, when she is old enough, would you marry her as your wife?"

Yun'er was writing with a pen in her hand, but when Jin Ling said this, her hand shook, and the ink on the pen dripped into a big black ball.

"Mother, are you joking? You are only so old, how could she like it..." Yun'er couldn't speak.

Ji Wang came over and asked decisively: "Just tell me directly, if you don't want to marry her, would you like to marry her?"

Yun'er was a little dazed, he usually treats Houhou like a little sister, because there is no girl in the family.When it comes to the relationship between men and women suddenly, he can't make a turn.

But thinking that he has always been fond of Wan Hou, if he really has him in his heart and wants to marry him when he grows up, then he also...

He blushed suddenly, lowered his head and fiddled with the brush, and said in a low voice: "Father, how can you ask me such a thing, if you disobey the imperial decree, you will be beheaded."

When he said this, everyone understood in their hearts. What he meant was that if it was true that he would not marry, he would also be willing to consider it.

Boming had his mind back, and came over and patted Yun'er on the shoulder, "Don't scare people, the emperor is doing it for the good of the Li family, how could he cut off someone's head because of such a trivial matter, you treat it like a steamed bun ah."

Jin Ling said happily: "Oh, I like Wan Wan so much, so go and tell her that you are willing to marry her!"

Yun'er stood up abruptly, and said nervously: "Mother, when did I say I would marry her? She was just playing with a child's temper and crying, you really think she didn't go to the capital because of me? You Why are you just like her, playing childish temper?"

"What are you in a hurry for? I'll find out if I ask you?" Jin Ling said and went out.

Birming also returned to his home and told Yingniang about this.

Yingniang thought that Yun'er and Wanhou might be a couple, she couldn't help her eyebrows relaxed, "Although the two of them are much different in age, they are a good match. If Wanhou refuses to go to the capital, and Yun'er does not want to marry, let Brother Li I wrote a letter to the emperor, saying that Wanhou had betrothed a baby girl since she was a child, and regretting her marriage is an act of injustice, and the emperor should not be embarrassed."

Boming was still worried about this matter just now. Hearing what Yingniang said, he felt that this move is indeed feasible, "That's right, the emperor's original intention was not to insist on joining the royal family, but just to promote the Li family. Dear, the emperor has no reason to force people to do unrighteous acts. Perhaps the emperor will be more happy if he thinks that the Li family does not seek the wealth of the royal family for the sake of benevolence and righteousness."

Yingniang and Boming went to Aunt Yao's house together, not only wanting to hear what the meaning of "Wu Hou" is, but also want to tell Aunt Yao about this idea, maybe she will have a better way.

After the two of them went out, Qing'er sat in the yard alone, dazed.Alas, even Xiao Houhou is talking about marriage, what should she do with her marriage!

After a while, Nian'er came back, followed by a person.

Qing'er suddenly opened her mouth slightly, before Nian'er and that person came in, she quickly hid in her room.

She was both ashamed and happy that he finally came back!
