Chapter 510 Retirement (two chapters in one)(1/2)
Capital.
Yan Xuehuai went to Wujiaxiang again. It was her third day. She was familiar with the help of Shihong, but Mrs. Su was still sitting behind the screen with her. Yan Xuehuai was a little embarrassed. Just as she was about to say a few words, Mrs. Su rushed forward and said, "It's a guest from afar, and the foreigners are also guests. Since they are here, I, as the host, have no reason to not treat you."
That being said, Mrs. Su secretly said: My master is a minister of the Honglu Temple and must deal with foreigners. As a virtuous assistant, of course I have to share my worries. So, it’s not really me gossip. Besides, I clearly remember that the eyelashes of the foreigners are golden, but my master insists that the foreigners have no eyelashes. This time, I must look carefully and see who is not good at looking.
When I saw the Fanren go, Mrs. Su was satisfied and golden. Yes, the Fanren's eyelashes were definitely golden.
At this moment, the fifth wife of the clan arrived uninvited.
Today, Yan Xuehuai came in a carriage from Dingguo Duke's Mansion. The carriage was parked in the alley. When the fifth wife saw it, she came over with shamelessness.
Last time, after hearing some gossip about Li Qiniang from Yang Suyun, the fifth wife had a face in front of Mrs. Su, and she was always nervous.
The fifth master is not good at it. Now the children of the little fifth house can rely on are the uncles and uncles of the clan, otherwise the fifth wife would not have rushed to curry favor with Yang Suyun.
Now seeing Mrs. Su and Yan Xuehuai walking frequently, her heart became active.
This eldest lady Yan is the consort of the prince. Although the seventh prince has no chance of being with the throne, he is the queen's favorite youngest son and the prince's legitimate younger brother.
Last time, she annoyed Mrs. Su because she said a few gossips from Li Qiniang. If she took advantage of Miss Yan's place, she would tell the matter out...
Mrs. Su was as a ladylike airs and refused to say that thing in person, but she said it through her mouth. Even if Mrs. Su didn't say it, she would definitely look up to her in her heart.
Mrs. Su didn't expect that the fifth wife would come here at this time. She said to the maid: "Just say there are guests in the mansion, let her come here later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Five's loud voice came in: "Oh, this is a distinguished guest. It's really a bad time for me to come."
Seeing that the voices were coming in, Mrs. Su looked embarrassed and scolded the uneasy sister-in-law in her heart.
Yan Xuehuai hurriedly said to Mrs. Su, "Madam, since there is a guest, I will say goodbye first."
"No, no, no, they are not outsiders. This is my sister-in-law," Mrs. Su said helplessly, "Please come in with the fifth wife."
Yan Xuehuai smiled and said nothing, but she already understood a little in her heart. This fifth wife was probably coming for her.
She finally came out and met this fifth wife, so she was always more forceful than going back to count the corners.
That's right, Yan Xuehuai is already in the mansion and is almost out of the way.
The fifth wife walked in like a gust of wind. When she saw Yan Xuehuai, she praised her fiercely. At first, Yan Xuehuai thought that this person had vision, but as she listened, she wanted to go back and look in the mirror to see if she was beautiful as a fairy without knowing it.
Mrs. Su looked embarrassed. Fortunately, Miss Yan was well-educated, which was also giving herself face.
She was about to start a topic, but she heard the fifth wife say, "Actually, I just came from the second old lady. Oh, it's not because of the third master's divorce."
Mrs. Su's heart moved. It turned out that the fifth wife came here for this matter.
The annoyance in her was immediately gone.
"The people who went to the Yang family are back?" Mrs. Su asked leisurely.
The fifth wife took a sip of tea, wiped the corners of her mouth with a veil, and put on a story-telling style.
"Oh, don't mention it. The second master has been banned. That master Yang is still a scholar. He is so drunk that he doesn't say anything. He has a few disagreements and will be rude. When the second master left, what did Master Yang say?"
Mrs. Su shook her head and looked puzzled: "What did you say?"
"Master Yang said, you can withdraw from the marriage, don't want to go back to the betrothal gift. Listen, is this what a decent person said?" The fifth wife sighed.
Mrs. Su sighed, and saw Yan Xuehuai being shocked when she saw that she could hear it. She quickly said, "We sisters-in-law actually talked about some of the parents' shortcomings, which made Miss Yan laugh."
Yan Xuehuai smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't have the chance to come out on weekdays. I find it interesting when I hear my wife talk about these."
Yan Xuehuai remembered very clearly that the Wu family who was engaged to Yang Suyun was originally from the Wu family's legitimate family. The Yang family mentioned by the fifth wife just now was probably the Yang family of Yang Suyun.
Sure enough, the fifth wife's eyes glowed and she asked, "Miss Yan has entered the palace and wants to meet the eldest lady Yang of the Yang family. She used to be in Chaoyang Palace."
The stone in Yan Xuehuai's heart fell to the ground and finally came to the point.
Could it be that even the fifth wife knew about the matter that she and Yang Suyun were not dealing with?
Since the fifth wife came for this matter, she simply stopped going around the circle.
"What the fifth wife said about resigning from marriage just now is to resign from Miss Yang?" Yan Xuehuai asked.
The fifth wife slapped her thighs, and as soon as she finished the pat, she felt the eye knife thrown by Mrs. Su. She quickly put her hand on her skirt and said with a smile: "That's right, if you talk about scoundrels, there is no other family in the capital except the Yang family."
The fifth wife cleared her throat; "Miss Yang is still in the filial piety period, and she agreed to keep filial piety for three years. The third master respected her as a filial daughter. She felt that she had been in office for many years and was older than her, so she didn't want to delay her. She wrote a letter and asked the elders of the clan to take charge and retire from the Yang family. Because this was a marriage granted by the emperor, the third master even specially submitted a memorial and asked the second master to send it to the capital."
Yan Xuehuai understood that the Wu family was determined to withdraw from the engagement. Not only did they mobilize the Wu family elders, but they also asked for an order to break the engagement.
Yan Xuehuai was even a little curious, and didn't know what Yang Suyun did, so he asked the Wu family to make up their minds first.
Could it be that Yang Suyun’s stepmother was really killed by the Yang family?
When she heard that Yang Suyun delayed her marriage because she wanted to be filial, Yan Xuehuai suspected the cause of Yang Suyun's stepmother's death, but it was not his own. She only communicated with Li Qiniang.
If it weren't for the fifth wife's talk about it today, she would have almost lost her mind/
"Then has this marriage been retired now?" Yan Xuehuai felt that the queen must be disappointed.
Although the queen does not value Yang Suyun as much as before, she does not care about her. It can be seen from her marriage with the Wu family alone.
Although the Wu family was older, it must have been decided after the queen thought carefully.
Wu Jiaxian, this is the person prepared by the emperor for the crown prince, and it is possible to enter the cabinet and become ministers in the future.
The fifth wife sighed again: "Ah, according to the clan elder's wishes, the two families quietly retired the marriage. There is a third master's memorial on the side of the emperor. Oh, who would have thought that this matter would be like this? The second master's eyes were beaten to the blue and blue. The imperial physician had just left now, and I couldn't hide it even if I wanted to."
Master Yang beat the second master of the Wu family, but the Wu family refused to suffer any losses, so they mobilized all the troops to invite the imperial physician to the mansion.
Moreover, the Yang family refused to return the betrothal gift!
After Yan's family, Yan Xuehuai once again refreshed his views.
"Miss Yang must not know about this. She is as kind as hers, so she will definitely not be able to see these things."
Valley
The fifth wife curled her lips: "Would she not know? The Yang family now has no mistress, and Miss Yang is in charge of the family. Because of our Wu family's marriage, I heard that from Master Yang to her younger brothers, everyone has to look at her expression."
What the fifth wife also wants to say is that Miss Yan, a flower raised in a greenhouse, does not know that people's hearts are sinister. You see, they have a kind heart, but behind the scenes, they have never said good things about you mother and daughter.
But the fifth wife knew that these words could only be hidden in her heart and could not be said.
Gossiping is also knowledgeable, just like paintings, you need to leave blank space, and if there is one, you can only say half of it, so that you can stimulate the other person's curiosity.
Miss Yan, who didn't know the sinister hearts, was indeed successfully aroused curiosity.
She said with a curious look: "Ah? Miss Yang is really capable and can tell the truth at home."
"That's right, I'm very capable. If her stepmother was still alive, she would have let her rest long ago. Fortunately, she was dead and could still be buried in the Yang family's ancestral grave."
The fifth wife became more and more energetic as she spoke. Mrs. Su quickly coughed. It was enough to say this. We can't let the fifth wife continue to talk about it.
When the fifth wife saw that it was good, she stopped: "Look at my mouth, and it was gone as she talked. Miss Yan, don't make a joke. I have never read a few books and have little knowledge."
Yan Xuehuai returned to the Duke's Mansion and sent Zhenzhu out to inquire about the Yang family. She was idle and wanted to listen to gossip.
After sleeping, Yan Xuehuai felt something was wrong.
Her eyelids are twitching!
The left eye twitches wealth, the right eye twitches disaster, and she is the right eye twitches.
Yan Xuehuai originally didn't believe this, but her eyelids kept beating, which made her feel upset, and she couldn't help but think of Chai Yan.
Chai Yan must be in trouble.
Chai Yan was really in trouble at this time.
The concubine agreed to summon Qu Jing.
The Tartar Palace did not have as many rules as the Great Wei. The concubine only suggested to the Tartar that the harem should not interfere in politics, but did not instill all the rules of the Great Wei harem into the Tartar. Therefore, as the Great Wei concubine, she was able to meet guests in her palace.
However, entering the palace means entering the palace. First, it is a body test and cannot carry weapons. Secondly, it is possible to have Qu Jing enter alone, and Chai Yan and Liuli are waiting in the same room.
This is a rule. Although Chai Yan wanted to see who this fake princess was with his own eyes, he could only sit here and wait bored.
This room is specially prepared for the officials' entourage.
The furnishings in the house were simple. At first, Chai Yan thought there would be guards outside the house, but when he walked to the door, he found that there was no one outside.
He simply walked out, and there was only one door between here and the inner palace, and there were two guards standing at the door.
Chai Yandong looked around, but there was really nothing to see here.
He was about to turn back to the house, but he saw several people walking out of the door.
The person in charge is gorgeously dressed, with a round face and a flat nose, and his appearance is not good. He should be over forty years old. However, Chai Yan is now experienced. The real age of the Tatha people is generally ten years younger than their appearance, so this person may be in his thirties.
He heard the guards at the door calling the man the "big prince" in Tara dialect. Chai Yan's heart moved. This man was the big prince. It is said that he was born by a female slave. There is no way to tell whether it was the blood of the King of Tara.
Although the eldest prince is the eldest son, he is the least present among the seventeen princes.
In Feiyuwei's file, there are only a few words on the page of the eldest prince, which is not as good as the seventeenth prince who is still in his infancy. There is no way, the seventeenth prince's biological mother is the most favored at the moment.
Chai Yan didn't expect that the first big man he saw in the palace would actually be the big prince.
He lowered his hands and asked to the side of the road.
When the eldest prince walked past him, he stopped, turned his head to look at him, and then walked forward again.
Seeing him walking away, Chai Yan walked back to the room.
