Chapter 688 Several "Family Letters"
Eunuch Wang has almost packed his things.
In fact, he didn't bring much, just the clothes he changed with, which were all made by his good grandson's family, cotton and single, shoes and socks, all neat and tidy.
Outsiders only saw that the Yan family took advantage of him.
But they didn't know how happy it was for a man of his age to have a younger generation who took him to heart and respected him.
He first went to the young master's courtyard to look around, pointed out a few easy-to-follow people, and watched them pack up.
Like gold and jade, too conspicuous things don't need to be brought.
Although the royal family has its own set of rules for traveling, no one knows the prince's mind better than Eunuch Wang. I think the prince doesn't want to see the young master and the Yan family out of tune.
Eunuch Wang returned to the main courtyard.
"Prince, what should I call the young master?"
This is to ask whether to hide his identity. After all, it is against the rules for a nobleman to suddenly go to the countryside, and he is also worried about attracting bad people.
"Just say it, it's okay. I can go, so can my son." It was because he had been there that King Ying knew something about the village.
It seemed to be a complicated village, not a place with a family name, but the people in that village respected the Yan family very much. With the Yan family's reputation, it should be worry-free for Mian'er to go there.
Besides, Yan Er's new recruit camp was right next to the village. He had recruited many men from the Huju militia before. King Ying had seen it with his own eyes and experienced it personally, so he still trusted the militia's combat effectiveness.
Not to mention, he believed in his heart that Xiao Er was a natural general and his lucky star! It was just that God pointed a little off when he was giving the child a reincarnation, and got the gender wrong...
"Xiao Er hasn't come back yet?" King Ying asked.
Eunuch Wang was waiting for the prince to ask this question. Hearing this, he hurriedly said one by one. His good grandson was very good, well-educated, and knew the ways of the world. He was like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
King Ying: I want to hear it but I don't want to hear it, I'm so conflicted!
...
Yan Yu came to the door in a proper manner.
She had sent invitations to various mansions yesterday, one from her master's master, one from her father, and the latter one was added by her father, so she was showing off. Yan Yu secretly despised him in her heart.
But it's still useful to say it.
This time, it's not the mistress of the house who will see her, but the adults of each family.
There are also the young masters of the mansion to accompany her, this standard is very high.
Yan Yu's description is solemn, her face is calm, but her heart is beating.
Help, why are you so serious.
Really don't care too much about her as a junior, just meet the mistress, really, she likes those ladies with friendly faces!
Yan Yu was specially dressed up by the eunuch Wang when she went out today.
Although she was still wearing her usual clothes at home, the pair of small green jade gourds hanging from her hair were very eye-catching. The slightly protruding belt was made by the embroiderer of the palace. It was not made of gold or silver threads, but of a bright red thread. The red thread on a white background and the auspicious cloud pattern were well-behaved. The highlight was behind her, where a glossy red bead was fixed as a button in the middle of her waist.
It was the craftsmanship of the embroiderer of the palace. The buttons were processed and it was very close to the body visually. Whether walking or sitting, it was very loose and not restrained at all, making Yan Yu feel very comfortable.
To be honest, when she first saw her grandfather take out this belt, she was so worried that she would have to take a breath and tighten her abdomen from time to time, which would be uncomfortable.
Yan Yu explained the reason in a proper manner. If an adult was curious about the trade fair, she would briefly explain it. If an adult was concerned about her master's recent situation, she would say that her master was in good health, but he had been overworked recently, and her father was very worried. There were also adults who were interested in her father and her. They thought that the prince personally awarded the official position and the reason could be hidden from the people but not from the officials. Several adults expressed their desire to see her demonstrate it in class.
Her natural strength...
Yan Yu, of course, could not be displayed.
She played a cute, shy and embarrassed role.
Otherwise, when she grows up, this will all be a black history, a black history!
Okay, go to pay respects on behalf of your father and perform a bare-handed table-slapping performance for the host?
Just ask who will be responsible if the table is broken!
The adults in various mansions were very satisfied that the child of the Yan family could come to their door to explain the reason in person, and they had a good impression of the powerful Lord Tian and his disciple Yan Zongqi.
When Yan Yu left, the young masters of various families came to see her off.
Not only did they exchange names, but they also made warm appointments, saying that they would go out for fun together in the spring in the future.
How could Yan Yu say no? Her godfather had taught her that this was the normal social interaction of children of officials.
Do you think that only wives can be diplomatic?
Children also have circles.
Since she pretended to be a boy, she couldn't avoid it.
An idea flashed through her mind.
She could enter both the circle of young masters and the circle of young ladies. Was it considered a catch-all? !
…
It took the longest time to deliver the fish to the Cheng family.
Everyone in Yongning City knew that Lord Cheng was poor and happy...
He never accepted gifts.
If he was pushed to the edge, he might even throw them out.
But everything has a precedent. Yan Yu didn't know if her father was the first, but it was not the first time her family gave gifts to Lord Cheng.
Yan Yu inherited her father's eloquence, and he was also a first-rate eloquent and sweet-talker. She also had the advantage of age that her father didn't have, and was especially good at dealing with old men and old ladies.
So, Lord Cheng couldn't withstand her offensive and was defeated.
What surprised Yan Yu was that Master Cheng was different from the previous masters. He didn't care about Master Tian, his close friend, fellow villager and junior in the same academy, nor did he care about Yan Laoer, who had studied hard with him. His focus was only on two people, one was her uncle, and the other was her mother!
Soon, Yan Yu figured it out.
Master Cheng wanted to marry into her family!
Cheng Lezhou's second brother Cheng had been thinking about her elder sister for a long time, and finally persuaded his old father to come to the stage of asking for marriage?
But it was useless to ask about her mother. Even though her mother was the only female elder in the family, her elder sister's marriage was all up to her uncle!
But she couldn't say this.
Master Cheng asked her mother cryptically where she was now? How was the baby at home? Was it time to start farming in the village?
Yan Yu's mind automatically changed to, should the matchmaker go to the house in the city or the house in the country? The child was easy to raise, so Mrs. Yan's health recovered well, right? After the busy farming season, will I have some free time? It's just the right time to put my child's marriage on the agenda.
The regular route is correct.
I just don't know how far I can go.
Yan Yu thought about it and went back to Yan's shop first.
"Sister, have you received any letters from your brother these two days?"
She and her mother went back to the village to farm, and her brother didn't know. If there were any letters from home, they would still be sent to the shop.
"Yes!" Yan Qianchu flipped out Yan Xiangheng's letter.
Yan Yu was sharp-eyed and saw that there seemed to be more letters in the account book where she put the letters. A light flashed in her mind, and she acted like lightning, muttering: "Brother misses home so much, he wrote so much!"
"That's not..."
She was no faster than Yan Yu.
Yan Qianchu's face flushed, and she was at a loss for a while.
I quickly finished my meal and came back to write, earlier than expected. Hehe~
