Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 44

Yan Zhaohua recalled that Aunt Gong was indeed granted a sixth-rank imperial order. It was not until many years later that her younger brother Gong Shengbang became a noble concubine, and rose all the way to become the chief executive. After that, the Gong family seemed to spring up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. At this time, the Gong family should only be a sixth-rank imperial order. The reason for being sealed seems to be because his youngest son Xie Kun is studying with the little prince in the palace. The little prince has improved significantly in his homework, and Xie Kun He was also highly praised by the Taifu. Originally, the emperor wanted to reward Xie Kun directly. After discussing with the Duke of the State, the Duke refused on the grounds that Xie Kun was a child who could not be favored. He simply gave this award to his mother, and because the Duke's wife is already a first-rank imperial order, and there is no way to seal it, so he gave this honor to Mrs. Gong. The preference can successfully facilitate this matter.

After all, Xie Kun's son has shown some prowess in the palace now. If it is of great use in the future, his mother's status as a concubine will always hinder him. Xie Kun will be more decent in the future.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhaohua couldn't help thinking, it's really lively today, all the people from all walks of life are here, Xie has Aunt Gong as a guarantee, as long as he is taken away from Changning Hou Mansion, if he wants someone again in the future, he can only say Xiu personally went to the Duke's mansion.

Yan Xiu intends to imprison Mrs. Xie, but he is really exhausted. He has no strength to persevere any longer. After hearing what the two nuns said, he glanced at Mrs. Xie who was in a daze, waved his hands weakly, and said to Yan Zhaohua :

"Let her go. When I recover from my injuries, I will personally go to the Duke's Mansion to explain clearly."

Yan Zhaohua didn't speak, but the two nuns hurried over when they heard it, helped Aunt Gong over, saluted Yan Xiufu, and hurriedly left Changning Hou Mansion.She couldn't help sighing secretly, now that Aunt Gong stepped in and wanted to put Mrs. Xie to death, it might not be that simple. However, with the addition of two major crimes on Mrs. Xie's body, her position as the Marquis of Changning would definitely be lost.

In the previous life, Yan Zhaohua was bullied by the Xie family to such a field, a large part of the reason was because he was stupid, lost most of the opportunities, lost the dowry, and lost his body. He was doomed to lose from the very beginning, and this Once she came back, relying on her understanding of Mrs. Xie, she finally got [-]% back. As long as Mrs. Xie is driven out of the Yan family, everything will be easy in the future. No matter what, Yan Zhaohua knows her own The plan has been partially successful.

As for the outcome of Yan Xiu's meeting after Mrs. Xie returned to the Duke's Mansion, Yan Zhaohua didn't care whether Mrs. Xie was dead or alive.Even if Mrs. Xie was alive, it would still be a bird with its wings clipped or a snake with its teeth pulled out, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"It's disgusting! Put her back just like this, it's too cheap for her."

Yan Ruiqian received Yan Zhaohua's order and came back from the warehouse yard. Originally, he thought he could hear the news of Mrs. Xie's punishment, but what he didn't expect to hear was the news that Mrs. Xie was rescued by some aunt of the Duke's mansion , I just feel uncomfortable.

Yan Zhaohua glanced at him, asked Ranxiang to bring over a cup of warm goat's milk with honey, put it in front of Yan Ruiqian, and said:
"Father is ill, and no one in the mansion can deal with her. There is no difference between her being locked up in the mansion and being taken away. Anyway, the crimes on her have already been filed in Shuntian Mansion, and recorded, there is no room for reversal. Father has already spit out that he wants to divorce her, don't be angry, you will be very angry."

Yan Ruiqian took a sip of the sweet goat's milk, exhaled, and said with some frustration:

"I just feel a little reconciled. She has caused us such misery. It made our siblings not close when we were young, and it is rare to get close when we grow up. Dowry, and wants to poison you to death, if this kind of person can escape this time, God really has no eyes."

Seeing Yan Ruiqian's indignation, Yan Zhaohua sighed, and asked, "By the way, what are you going to do with that Yinggeer? It's not that I can't tolerate her, but I think if she stays by your side, There will be big troubles again in the future, if she dares to lie to you once today, she will dare to lie to you the second time and the third time tomorrow, so we should settle it sooner."

Yan Ruiqian lowered his head and brought up Yinggeer, feeling even more uncomfortable. He used to feel that he was rejected by others, and when he returned to Qinlian Hall, only Yinggeer brought him tea and water, washed his face and feet, that kind of warmth In Yan Ruiqian's heart, it was a good memory, but now, that memory has been covered with an indelible veil. He knows that, just like what his sister said, Yingge'er can no longer stay by his side.

Yan Zhaohua thought he was still reluctant, and said:
"I don't want her to die, I just want her to leave you. In the past, I didn't do well. I didn't fulfill my responsibility as a sister, which made you feel dependent on Yinggeer. I Just send her away, send her to the Zhuangzi, and don't ask her to do any work, even if she is raised as a young lady, it doesn't matter, do you think this is okay?"

Yan Ruiqian looked up at Yan Zhaohua, it would be a lie if he wasn't moved in his heart, Yan Ruiqian could feel that she had changed from the past just from her sister's words, in her impression of her former sister was savage, indifferent, An arrogant endorsement, everyone she meets seems to be superior to others, and she is so lofty that she doesn't want to talk to others, but after getting along for a while, Yan Ruiqian seems to be able to feel that her sister can't get along well with others, maybe it's just because she's shy, or It is said that she is not used to it, after all she is the same as himself, although she is not disgusted by everyone on the surface, but no one is really willing to make friends with her, he always complains that his sister neglects him, but he has never thought about it, whether he also I neglected my sister, and subjectively didn't trust my sister, which caused the estrangement and estrangement between their siblings for so many years.

Yan Zhaohua thought that Yan Ruiqian would not agree, and was about to sigh when he heard Yan Ruiqian say:
"You don't need to be a young lady to support me. Even if she has taken care of me, she has lied to me. I have been kind to her by not holding her accountable. How can I still curry favor with her? Just send it to the Zhuangzi That's enough, send it to her mother and father together, don't get too close, so as to save trouble in the future."

Yan Ruiqian's words hit Yan Zhaohua's heart, he nodded in relief, and said, "You're right if you can figure it out, that's how it is with people, once betrayed, never used a hundred times, the most difficult thing for a person to break through is the first time." , she broke through betraying your heart for the first time, so it will be much easier to betray you the second time and the third time in the future, you can't give such a person a second chance, understand?"

These principles were summed up by Yan Zhaohua all his life, and he told Yan Ruiqian now, just to make him avoid detours in the future.

Yan Ruiqian nodded to show that he was taught, he stood up suddenly, hesitated for a moment, and then knelt down to Yan Zhaohua, startled Yan Zhaohua, and hurriedly stood up to help him, but Yan Ruiqian couldn't afford it , supported Yan Zhaohua's hand and said:

"Sister, last time it was my younger brother who was an asshole. You should never have done anything to your elder sister. I have read the sage books so badly in my stomach. Please don't care about me. From now on, we sister and brother Together, nothing like that will ever happen again."

Yan Zhaohua's eyes turned red when he heard it, thinking of the misery of the two people in their last life. Later, both of them had the heart to help each other, but neither of them had the ability, so they could only watch each other suffer day by day. Life is tormented and depressed every day.There is nothing more embarrassing than seeing your loved ones suffer and being helpless. Yan Zhaohua helped Yan Ruiqian up, tidied his clothes, and dusted the dirt on his knees. Yan Zhaohua nodded repeatedly:

"Okay, both of us, sister and brother, will be good from now on. Don't be naughty, you must study hard. We are all the sons of widows. There are many people outside who are waiting to see our jokes. They want us to degenerate and want to see us. We are limp like mud and can't support the wall. They want to see it, but we don't let them see it. It's not for anything else, just to be worthy of ourselves. My sister doesn't ask you to be rich and powerful, but at least be a benevolent gentleman. , you can’t be looked down upon, right?”

"Yes, I see. I will study hard in the future. My sister is right. We are not doing it for anyone, but for ourselves."

Yan Ruiqian's words made Yan Zhaohua smile in relief, and the siblings looked at each other and smiled, dissolving the accumulated resentment from past and present lives.

The day after Mrs. Xie was taken back to the Duke's Mansion by Aunt Gong, Yan Zhaoning and Yan Shuyan had been kneeling on the bluestone slab outside Yanxiu's study yard since the morning, and the guards guarding the gate went in and passed on it several times. , Yan Xiu avoided seeing it.

It was useless for Yan Zhaoning to call him outside, so he had to cry and go to Qingqueju to find Yan Zhaohua. Yan Zhaohua was arranging flowers, and when he heard that Yan Zhaoning was coming, he asked his mother-in-law to tell her what she wanted to say , I can't help, anyway, I just want her to intercede with Yan Xiu on Xie's behalf, this kind of thing, Yan Zhaohua thinks it is impossible to do it, since it can't be done, then the meeting will be avoided.

Who would have thought that the woman had just passed the message when she was slapped by Yan Zhaoning, and then Yan Zhaoning rushed into the courtyard angrily, holding up her skirt all the way, and hurried to the hall where Yan Zhaohua was. Seeing that Yan Zhaohua was clearly there but not seeing her, Yan Zhaoning felt a burning panic in his heart, but Yan Zhaoning knew that he had something to ask for, so he had to soften his body and walked up to Yan Zhaohua who had a cold face Unwillingly, he blessed his body as a salute, and then said:
"Sister, what did you offend in the past? You are a lot of adults, so don't worry about me as a child. My mother is in trouble now. I know she has done something sorry for you and my second brother, but please forgive me." Forgive me and my younger brother, if there is no mother's protection, how will we deal with ourselves in the future? I beg my sister to meet my father for us, let him change his mind, and forgive my mother's mistakes. I will definitely reward my eldest sister and second brother more."
