Chapter 200 The Yun Family Marriage

After Ren Yaoyin came to Yunyang City this time, she often came to Yun's house under the pretext of discussing poetry with Yun Qiuchen. The friendship between them grew by leaps and bounds.

The Yun family spared no effort in nurturing Yun Qiuchen, and she often had to help with banquets on weekdays, so the Ren family had five young ladies as guests today, but they didn't appear to be in a hurry.

Yun Qiuchen led a few people to sit in the living room, and exchanged greetings with each other.

"I should have invited you here as soon as possible, but unfortunately I have to help my mother with tomorrow's daughter's banquet, and I have not been free." Yun Qiuchen said to Ren Yaoyin apologetically.

Ren Yaoyin hurriedly said: "I should have thought that you will be busy recently, but it is actually my fault. I wonder if I have delayed your business today?"

Yun Qiuchen shook his head: "There is nothing to do today, and my mother and two aunts will make arrangements for the rest." Then she turned to look at Ren Yaoqi, and said softly, "Sister Yaoqi hasn't seen you for a while? Before, I asked Yaoyin to invite you to come and play together, and Yaoyin said that you would go to Yanbei Palace to practice piano with the princess every day. I don’t know how the princess’s piano practice is going?”

Ren Yaoqi smiled and said: "The princess has been working hard recently, and the gentleman who taught the piano said that he has made great progress."

Yun Qiuchen smiled when he heard the words: "That's good."

Fearing that the other girls in the Ren family would feel left out, Yun Qiuchen asked Ren Yaohua and the others one by one. Ren Yaoqi discovered that Yun Qiuchen knew a little about the preferences of the sisters of the Ren family, and when talking to them, he deliberately picked up topics they liked, whether it was from Ren Yaoyin or from them. I had some understanding before.

From this point of view, Ren Yaoqi had to lament Yun Qiuchen's intentions and the Yun family's education of Yun Qiuchen. It was not groundless to hear that the Yun family trained Yun Qiuchen as the next Princess of Yanbei.

Then Yun Qiuchen talked about the Qianjin Banquet with them. It was the first time for the girls from the Ren family to attend the Qianjin Banquet, so they all listened very seriously.

Although the Qianjin Banquet was all organized by the Yun family, the place where the Qianjin Banquet was held was provided by Yanbei Palace. Because the ladies who came to participate in the Qianjin Banquet were from famous families in Yanbei, and the banquet would last for three days, only Yanbei Palace had such a big place.

The place arranged by the Yanbei Palace this year is the hot spring villa of Riyuequan, which is the place where Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua met Lei Pan'er last time.

Ren Yaoying was also very active today. Hearing Yun Qiuchen talk about the hot springs of Sun Moon Spring, she said, "I went there last time with my third sister and fifth sister. It's a pity that I didn't see the hot spring villa in Yanbei Prince's Mansion, nor did I see it. Sun Moon Spring."

Yun Qiuchen explained warmly: "The hot spring villa in Yanbei Prince's Mansion does not accept outsiders on weekdays. The Riyue Spring is surrounded in the villa. It is named after two hot springs, one big and one small. I will go tomorrow. I can take you to see Sunny Spring."

Ren Yaoyin said with great interest: "Riyao Spring is the 'Sun' Spring, right? Then what kind of spring is the 'Moon' Spring?"

"The big one is called Riyao Spring, and the small one is called Yuehua Spring, but I have never seen Yuehua Spring before, so it must be used for bathing by princes and concubines."

Several people were talking happily, Yun Qiuchen's big maid, Nan Zhu, came over and whispered something in Yun Qiuchen's ear.

Yun Qiuchen's face remained unchanged, and after Nanzhu finished speaking, she smiled and said to everyone: "I just invited the second and third sisters, it would be boring for us to sit in this yard, why don't we move?" Shall we go to the water pavilion?"

When Yun Qiuchen said this, naturally no one had any objections, so he got up and followed Yun Qiuchen to the water pavilion, and halfway there, he met Yun Qiuping, the second daughter of the Yun family, and Yun Qiufang, the third daughter of the Yun family.

Yun Qiuchen introduced several young ladies of the Ren family to the two young ladies of the Yun family, who were all called cousins, and went to the waterside pavilion after exchanging pleasantries.

Generally speaking, the house of the Yun family is dignified and grand, and even the garden that the big family always pays attention to to show their face is quite satisfactory, only rigorous but not fancy. There is a water pavilion by the half-moon-shaped pond in the garden, which is exquisite and unique, very elegant and interesting. In summer, the windows on all sides of the water pavilion are wide open, just like a pavilion facing the water. Standing in the water pavilion, you can feel a gust of breeze blowing on your face, which is cool and pleasant.

"Second sister and third sister entertain a few cousins ​​for me. I'll go see how the refreshments are getting ready." After everyone was seated, Yun Qiuchen said with a smile.

Yun Qiufang glanced at Yun Qiuchen, twitched the corners of her mouth, and showed a smile: "Big sister said this is obvious, my third sister and I are the masters, and the cousins ​​of the Ren family are guests. When the reception is finished, is it possible that in the eldest sister's heart, you are the only Miss Yun family?"

Although Yun Qiufang was joking and laughing along the way, it was obviously just out of politeness and politeness. If you look closely, her complexion is not very ugly. Grasping Yun Qiuchen's words at this moment, he couldn't help but make use of it.

The sisters of the Ren family could also hear that there was something wrong in Yun Qiufang's words, but everyone pretended that they didn't hear it.

Yun Qiuchen was very well-bred, and was not annoyed at being stabbed by Yun Qiufang. He just smiled and nodded at everyone, and then took his two maids out.

After leaving the waterside pavilion, Yun Qiuchen stopped, frowned slightly and asked the big maid Nanzhu, "Mother has come back?"

Nan Zhu lowered her head and said, "Yes, miss, as soon as my aunt arrives, you can ask me to send someone to find the eldest lady. The eldest lady has just entered the mansion and has already gone to the old lady's yard."

Yun Qiuchen nodded, and slightly narrowed his eyes to look at the pond in front of him. The two maidservants knew that their young lady must be thinking about something, so they didn't disturb her, and stood quietly behind her.

After a while, Yun Qiuchen asked: "Did the people sent to investigate hear what my aunt and grandmother said?"

"Last time, because the housekeeper in the old lady's yard took money from the third wife and copied an ancestral medicinal recipe from the Yun family, the old lady became angry, and a few big maids were also released. .Only a second-class maid heard the aunt mention the racecourse when she went in to deliver tea."

"The Su family is at the racecourse on the border?" Yun Qiuchen was a little surprised.

"Didn't my wife say yesterday that Su's racecourse suffered heavy losses due to the party's invasion? Presumably my aunt came back to tell the old lady about it."

Yun Qiuchen murmured slightly: "This is a family matter of the Su family. Aunt wouldn't come back to the Yun family to complain about this matter, and even turned everyone away. There must be other things."

"The servant girl will send someone to inquire again?"

Yun Qiuchen shook his head: "Forget it, since mother has come back, let's wait for news from mother."

"That's right, Madam never hides it from Miss. If there is anything, she will definitely tell Miss."

The other maid, Yinzhu, was younger, not as calm and sophisticated as Nanzhu, and couldn't help but said: "Our Yun family is my aunt's natal family. My aunt shouldn't come back to plot against her natal family, right?" Yinzhu felt the big Both the wife and the lady were wary of the aunt who married into the Su family.

Yun Qiuchen was not angry when she saw the servant girl asking such a question, but said in a low voice: "As a woman, she obeys her father at home, her husband when she gets married, and her son after her husband's death. Although my aunt's surname is Yun, it will be Su who will offer incense to her a hundred years later." family."

Yinzhu thought for a while, and felt that it made sense, so she dared not say more.

However, Nanzhu couldn't help but think that the current Yanbei Princess is also the aunt of the Yun family, and has always put the interests of the Yanbei Palace first. Even the old lady hinted in front of the princess several times that she wanted the eldest son to marry the princess, but the princess blocked it by saying that the prince should decide the marriage of the princess.

"Follow the father at home, obey the husband when married, and obey the son when the husband dies", this is what the Yun family has always taught women. This is a family rule of the Yun family for their children.

"Miss, do you want my wife to arrange a few more people to enter the old lady's yard?" Nan Zhu asked.

Yun Qiuchen thought for a while, then shook his head: "Forget it, grandma is very taboo about this now."

Yinzhu curled her lips: "If you want to say that the third wife and the third lady are like their mothers, they must have their daughters. Last time, if the third wife didn't want to steal the Yun family's medicinal recipe, it wouldn't hurt the two in the old lady's room." The elder sister was implicated. It's not that she doesn't know that the ancestral prescriptions of the Yun family have always been passed down to the eldest daughter-in-law and the eldest daughter. The third lady is also the same, and she is embarrassing you in front of the guests today, isn't it just a matter of the daughter-in-law banquet? The old lady only handed it over to a few wives and young ladies, didn't you let her and the second young lady intervene? Don't even look at what I am capable of..."

"Yinzhu." Seeing that Yinzhu's words became smoother and smoother, Nan Zhu immediately stopped her.

It was only then that Yinzhu realized that she had talked too much, and had just made up a master, so she couldn't help but glance at Yun Qiuchen cautiously. She is also fighting for her young lady. The third young lady Yun Qiufang always likes to sneer at Yun Qiuchen recently, that is to say, Miss Yun doesn't want to care about her. But the maidservants of them couldn't swallow this breath.

Yun Qiuchen took a look at Yinzhu, sighed softly, and said to Nanzhu: "She is young and has a quick temper. You will teach her more in the future. Some things can be thought or not said, and some things can be done but not said. Many times If you can’t say it, don’t say it. Misfortune comes from the mouth, and it’s the truth that if you talk too much, you will lose.”

Nanzhu and Yinzhu both lowered their heads and said yes.

At this time, footsteps were heard on the path in the garden, and someone was coming this way.

Yun Qiuchen frowned, and when he looked back, he saw Yun Wenfang, the second son of Yun, walking out from behind a bush. Yun Qiuchen couldn't help but loosen his brows, and said with a smile, "Second brother? Why are you here? "

Seeing that Yun Qiuchen was here with only two maids, Yun Wenfang couldn't help being taken aback, then glanced at the waterside pavilion, raised his eyebrows and said, "What? You can't come when you come? I heard sparrows crowing when I got up in the morning , should there be a visitor?"

Yin Zhu chuckled: "Second Young Master, it's 'The magpie is calling, the guest is coming', right?"

Knowing what Yun Wenfang was thinking, Yun Qiuchen glanced at him and saw that he was absent-minded, so he sighed, "Second brother, my second and third younger sisters and I are entertaining some cousins ​​from the Ren family."

After a pause, Yun Qiuchen said softly again, "The visitors are guests, and they are all girls. See you later, you need to be more careful in your words and deeds."

Yun Qiuchen heard about the last time Yunwen stopped Fifth Miss Ren in the Yanbei Palace, and originally thought that today he would apologize to Fifth Miss Ren on behalf of the second brother. He didn't want Yun Wenfang to come here, he must not be able to drive him away, so he could only think that he must take good care of this second brother who usually acts recklessly later, and prevent him from causing trouble.

Yun Wenfang twitched the corners of his mouth: "Young Master, is he ugly? Are you afraid of frightening the guests?"

Yun Qiuchen knew this second brother's temperament and was not very easy to get along with, but she and Yun Wenfang were siblings, and she really planned for him, so she could only gently persuade: "Second brother, you know that I am not this Meaning. I understand your thoughts, but if you are still as reckless as you were in Yanbei Palace last time, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to get what you want, but you will push people further and further away."

Yun Wenfang snorted softly, his face turned slightly cold.

Yun Qiuchen was not afraid of him, and continued to persuade: "Take the matter of the painting you gave her last time as an example. If she accepted your painting, wouldn't it be a private gift? I saw it a few times when I was in contact with her. , Fifth Miss Ren is definitely a dignified and decent lady, how could she take your things and ruin her reputation?"

Yun Wenfang was a little annoyed: "This doesn't work, and that doesn't work, so tell me what to do?"

Yun Qiuchen wanted to say that marriage matters have always been the orders of her parents, so it's her turn to make the decisions, but she knew that the second elder brother must be impatient to hear this, so she could only tactfully say, "Fifth Miss Ren can't make her own decisions, you Instead of hitting a wall with her, it's better to work hard with your mother and grandmother."

Yun Wenfang frowned: "Didn't grandma promise to choose my wife by myself?"

Yun Qiuchen was a little helpless when he heard that, her second brother was smart, but he really didn't know anything about the inner house. How could the marriage of the second young master of the Yun family be so simple? Grandmother said it was up to him to decide, but it was just coaxing him, he could choose whoever he liked, but it was absolutely impossible for him to be a regular wife.

But Yun Qiuchen didn't dare to tell him this right now, lest he cause trouble in the mansion.

Yun Wenfang finally listened to what his sister said, thinking about Ren Yaoqi's annoyance at his attitude of avoiding him, he also wondered if his actions were really as inappropriate as they said.

Young Master Yun didn't know that someone was planning on his marriage right now.

After Mrs. Yun rushed back from the outside, she went to the old lady's yard, and someone went in to inform her, and Mrs. Yun let her into the main room.

When Mrs. Yun came in, she just heard Mrs. Su saying: "...Fang Fei is your granddaughter, and you and your sister-in-law watched her grow up. I don't need to say more about her character. This child Wen Fang..."

When Mrs. Su said this, she happened to see Mrs. Yun coming in, so she couldn't help but stop talking, got up from the south kang, and called out affectionately: "Sister-in-law."

Mrs. Yun was obedient and only heard this sentence, and she didn't know what kind of medicine Mrs. Su was selling in her gourd. He returned the gift with a smile and greeted Mrs. Yun.

Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Su were both sitting on the south kang in the west room, and Mrs. Yun sat down on the top chair brought by the maid.

"Boss, daughter-in-law, you came just in time. I was just about to find someone to call you." Even when Mrs. Yun was sitting on her kang with her daughter, her back was straight.

Mrs. Yun lowered her head and said, "I don't know what mother has to order?"

Mrs. Yun glanced at Mrs. Su, and said in a low voice, "Shuhe wants to talk to you about Fang'er's marriage."

Mrs. Yun was startled, thinking of the two sentences she heard when she came in, could it be that the Su family wanted to marry Su Fangfei to their son? Although the eldest wife of the Su family is a daughter of the Yun family, because of the grievances between the old princess of Yanbei Palace and Mrs. Yun Tai, the Su and Yun families have never been on the same side.

Su family, what does this mean?

Mrs. Yun raised her eyes and glanced at the old lady, wanting to see her attitude towards this matter from Mrs. Yun. But Mrs. Yun didn't show any emotion on her face, she couldn't tell whether she was in favor or against the marriage.

Mrs. Yun could only laugh and said, "With mother and father around, Fang'er's marriage is naturally decided by the two elders."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Yun said, "What do you think of Fang Fei?"

Su Fangfei, the eldest lady of the Su family, is Mrs. Su's eldest daughter and also Mrs. Yun's granddaughter. Naturally, Mrs. Yun can't say that Su Fangfei is bad: "Fangfei has an outstanding appearance, a kind personality, and is excellent."

Mrs. Su smiled when she heard this, and looked at Mrs. Yun again.

Mrs. Yun also looked at Mrs. Yun. Although Mrs. Yun asked her opinion, she also knew that her son's marriage was not something she could decide on her own. In the end, it would depend on what Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Yun wanted. Although she didn't want to marry the daughter of the Su family.

Mrs. Yun didn't seem to see that her daughter and daughter-in-law were waiting for her to express her opinion, so she leisurely took a sip from the tea bowl, and then said to Mrs. Yun: "The tea is cold, let someone come in and change it. .”

Mrs. Yun responded.

When the tea was finished, Mrs. Yun took the tea bowl handed over by Mrs. Yun herself, skimmed off the tea foam, and said softly: "It's rare to come back, so stay for lunch."
