Chapter 227

Chrysanthemum Garden, lobby.

Baixuan and Yan Rou'er had already arrived, this was the first time he attended such an important occasion with his husband, so he was naturally very proud in his heart.

The second lady saw that Baixuan came back with Yan Rou'er, it seemed that they were ready.

Who knows what kind of backer is behind this Baixuan.

Yan Rou'er could see that the expressions of Yan Mingde and the second wife changed a little, so she smiled and went forward to explain: "Master Hou thinks it's a big deal to be elected as the mistress, so he came back with me. "

Bai Xuan nodded slightly, wasn't it obvious that he was showing off his aura.

Yan Rou'er said it nicely before, but after kicking Yan Ji away, the real fox's tail was revealed.

But no matter what, whoever can become the head of the banquet mansion is the real winner. Yan Ji will not come back, a Yan Rouer, even if she is Mrs. Hou now, but a concubine is a concubine, How could it be important to his own son who was born in the first place?

Yan Mingde looked around, pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, by the way, why hasn't this Yan Ji come here yet?"

Yan Mingyuan and the eldest lady still sat silently, Yan Mingyuan knew it well, but the eldest lady was confused and didn't know how to answer.

Cailian observed from the side door for a while, then turned back and returned to the inner room.

The old lady is holding a Buddhist bead in her hand and is resting with her eyes closed.

"Old madam," Cai Lian whispered in his ear, the eldest lady Yan Ji still didn't show up, and there was no movement in Chang'an Palace, Yan Rou'er came with Lord Hou Baixuan, the elder master and the second master were already waiting in the lobby.

The old lady nodded slightly, and opened her eyes. She really didn't expect that Yan Ji hadn't come back yet, and even Chang'an Palace was silent. Doesn't Zhan Lengze know the importance of being the head of the house?

No matter whether Yan Ji came back or not, Zhan Lengze would never watch the position of head mother be taken away by others.

"Wait a little longer, and the fun will begin."

Cailian nodded, and gently stepped aside.

Time passed by, and the people in the living room were obviously a little impatient.

Yan Shuang'er murmured twice in front of her mother, what is going on, why is there still no movement after such a long time, what on earth is grandma doing?

The second lady winked and shook her head slightly.

Yan Mingde also couldn't figure out what his mother wanted to do. She should have known about Yan Ji's kidnapping early on. Besides, wouldn't it be better for him to have fewer candidates for the election.

Even Yan Rou'er couldn't figure out what was going on and what the old lady was waiting for.

Another half an hour passed.

Cailian turned back to the inner room again and said, "Madam, it's almost frying pan outside."

The old lady sighed for a long time and said: "This Yan Ji, it's not that my old lady doesn't show mercy to you, but that you don't leave a way for yourself. Don't wait, go out."

Just when everyone couldn't bear it anymore, the old lady came out with a cane.

"Old madam," Bai Xuan took the initiative to greet her.

The old lady nodded slightly: "Master Hou is here, our banquet mansion is full of splendor."

Bai Xuan replied with a smile: "Madam, we are all a family, and I just accompanied Rou'er back to watch the excitement."

Yan Mingde approached the old lady attentively: "Mother, are you feeling unwell today?"

"No, it's just a little headache. After wading for a while, I kept you waiting for a long time."

"No, no, the most important thing is your body, old lady." Yan Rou'er said with a smile.

"Okay," the old lady sat down, "let's all sit down."

Everyone sat down, the atmosphere was very tense, and the confrontation was self-evident.

"Today," the old lady said after scanning the people in the hall, "I want you to come today, as long as you want to discuss who should be the head of this banquet mansion, Rou'er, Mingde, the two of them Each has its own advantages, and I think everyone is very clear about this.”

Yan Rou'er looked at Baixuan, this was the first time she was introduced so decently by the old lady.

And Yan Mingde glanced at Yan Rou'er, with a trace of disdain in his eyes.

Mrs. Hou Ye, let's see how she became Mrs. Hou Ye.

"Originally," the old lady went on to say, "Yan Ji, the eldest lady of our Yan Mansion, was also going to run for the election, but what I didn't expect was that she was suddenly kidnapped. There is no news so far, so today's candidate for the seat of the Yan Mansion It can only be chosen from the two of you."

"As for how to choose," the old lady looked at the people on both sides and said, "Mingde, let's follow the method you and Yan Ji did last time."

"I'm going to propose a topic. This topic must be about the problems of our Yanfu. Whoever has a better method will be the future mistress of this Yanfu."

Yan Rou'er has long expected that the old lady would use this trick, which sounds very fair, but whether she has told Yan Mingde or not is really hard to say.

Yan Mingde raised his hands in agreement: "Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely do what you ask."

Yan Rou'er raised doubts, he had to get rid of the problems that were not conducive to his competition from the very beginning, if Mrs. La and Yan Mingde had already discussed it, then his previous efforts would really be wasted.

Not only the prince was disappointed for not becoming the mistress, but the fourth prince, Luan Haochen, was also hard to explain. ,

"I don't agree," Yan Rou'er stood up and said.

This disapproval caused a lot of commotion, Yan Mingde sneered and looked at this girl standing in front of him who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth.

"Rou'er, this is the Yan Mansion. Even if you are from the Lord Hou's Mansion, don't forget what kind of place this is. This is the Yan Mansion. The old lady is the head of the Yan Mansion. What do you want to use?" It is her right to choose to be a family member, understand."

"I understand," Yan Rou'er said with a smile, "Grandma, you are unfair to me. The second uncle knows the way, but I am a novice."

The second lady interjected at this time: "Actually, there is no need to compare this at all. Our master is a direct descendant. If you want to choose a family member, it can only be our master."

Yan Rou'er sneered and said: "Yes, Erniang, you are right. I admit that I am a concubine, but you should know, old madam. Now I have married into the Hou Ye's mansion and become a real woman. Madam Hou, you shouldn't look at people with that old eye."

"Is that so, isn't your Madam Hou also born in a substitute marriage?

"Second Madam," Baixuan couldn't stop listening, so he stood up and said, "Aren't you a little too rude to my Madam Hou Ye?"

The second lady covered her mouth, not daring to say anything more.

"Okay," the old lady opened her eyes and said, "The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear. I, the old woman, should have the final say on how to deal with this matter, right?"

"Mingyuan," the old lady looked up at him suddenly and said, "You are what I said, right?"

Yan Mingyuan quickly stood up and replied, "What mother said is absolutely true."

"Then there is nothing to say. No matter whether you have experienced it or not, since you are here to grab this seat, then you must follow my old lady's instructions. If you don't dare, then just quit. Do you have any comments?"

What other opinions can I have? Now the old lady already understands what she said so clearly.

"The one thousand mu of land outside the city used to be a thousand mu of fertile land, but I don't know that after a severe drought ten years ago, the harvest got older and worse, so that now there is no harvest and there is no way to cultivate it. , it can only be abandoned there, so you can talk about how to deal with this matter."

Yan Mingde was dumbfounded. What was going on? At the beginning, his mother said it wasn't the five hundred acres of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River. Why did it suddenly become like this.

Even Yan Rou'er frowned, since it was a land that had been abandoned for so long, what value could there be to deal with it?

The old lady looked at the expressions of the two people and said: "If anyone can provide a good solution, then the seat of the master of the banquet will be his."

After the two of them thought about it for a while, Yan Rou'er finally said: "Madam, why don't we give these lands to landless farmers, this is a good deed for us."

"Good deeds," the old lady shook her head and said, "Even if you do good deeds, you can't use poor apprentices to do good deeds. Your method won't work."

Yan Mingde had nothing to say, because he really couldn't think of any good way to do it.

"Mother, I think this piece of land has no value at all, so I can only put it there."

"Think about it carefully, this is related to the seat of the head of the banquet mansion. If anyone thinks about it, he will be able to sit in the seat I am currently doing. Don't you think you don't want it?"

"Who doesn't want to," Yan Shuang'er said with pouted lips, "but there is no way to answer this question at all."

After a while, the two of them still haven't come up with an answer that satisfies the old lady.

The old lady smiled and said: "I originally thought that Yan Ji would choose one of the two of you. I didn't expect that you two would disappoint me so much."

Baixuan stood up at this time and said: "Madam, actually, Rou'er's words just now are not unreasonable, at least she still proposed a solution."

The old lady nodded: "Master Hou is right, but what I want to tell you is that although Mingde didn't come up with a solution, it is better than giving the barren land to the poor and ruining the reputation of our banquet hall in the end." Well, this is what really ruined the reputation of our Banquet House."

So in this line of competition, who will win and who will lose?

The old lady looked at them and said, "Yan Mingde's no solution is a solution. It is a waste of land, so there is no value in selling it. If we must say that today's game must be won or lost, then it should be two. The master is feasting on Mingde."

It turned out that the old lady's most important chess piece was played here.

Even if Yan Rou'er wanted to refute, it was too late.

"I don't think so, old lady."

Just when everyone thought it was a foregone conclusion, Yan Ji's voice suddenly came through.
