Yan Cigui

Chapter 10: Let someone else do it

 The room was quiet.

 Little Duan’s mind is filled with all kinds of questions.

 Is it because the Holy Spirit can’t stand these old dignitaries?

Uncle Chengyi has always been respectful and restrained. Even if he wants to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, he shouldn't use his own family as the chicken?

The Empress Dowager revealed this to Yun Yan. Was it because she felt sorry for Yun Yan, or did she not agree with His Majesty's ideas?

Your Majesty, if you want to take action, how much will you move, and how much will you withhold?

 Her family has been passed down smoothly until now. If something happens to her, how can she go to see her uncle and her ancestors?

The more Mr. Duan thought about it, the more cautious he became. She asked Lin Yunyan in a low voice: "Are you sure you didn't express the wrong meaning? Is this what the Cining Palace meant?"

Lin Yunyan looked serious.

 Cining Gong didn’t express anything, but that’s what she meant.

She is thick-skinned, so she is not afraid of telling lies to Mr. Duan.

"I expressed it correctly," Lin Yunyan nodded, "Yesterday, the imperial study sent a pot of coral to Cining Palace, saying that it was donated by the Duke of Fuguo. He was unwilling to work in the Ministry of War and handed the dictionary to the emperor. The Empress Dowager recited it. Two sentences, 'everyone who is exposed is cared about', 'the Xu family has only been a grandson and grandson for so many years, everything is too obvious', and he also told me, 'keep your salary and salary, and win more money'..."

These words are 70% true and 30% false.

 Coral, Xu Jian sent it.

Xu Jian also handed over the dictionary.

Little Duan can know these two things by just asking around.

As for what the Empress Dowager said, there is no way to find out anyway. Lin Yunyan said what she said, and besides, she also stuffed the truth into it.

Little Mrs. Duan went back and forth to taste it. People in the palace always spoke in convoluted ways, but she caught the key points.

In front of the nobles, if you want to stand for a long time, you must be clear, but not too clear.

Gold and silver, who are greedy and accumulating wealth, is unknown, but there is nothing secretive.

After Xiao Duan had figured this out, he said, "That matter needs to be changed. Lao Shi Xiang must not be related to us. Someone else must handle it."

Lin Yunyan understands.

 Of course she also thought of this.

I didn’t bring it up last night because I didn’t want my grandmother to leave the impression that I was “prepared” for Lao Shi Alley.

Obviously, my grandmother is also a thoughtful person. She tossed and turned all night long. She couldn't just think about the word "stable", but she must also have thought about how to do the business after the sale.

 She knew what was going on in her heart, but on the face of her face, Lin Yunyan was listening attentively.

Little Duan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said: "Everyone named on the gold list is a disciple of the emperor. I have always only thanked my master and thanked you, but there is no reason to thank the owner who rented the house.

 Lao Shixiang boasts about Feng Shui, and Wang Po sells melons. This is a common thing in the business world, but this Wang Po cannot be an official.

In the future, when students come to Beijing and ask, "Where is Uncle Chengyi's house?", then our business will be over. "

 Not only the business, but also the brain.

Especially because the Holy One was tempted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. If the good monkeys didn't do anything, they rushed out to be chickens, and the old man hanged himself!

"You are right," Lin Yunyan agreed, "According to this, it is not appropriate for Chen Gui to come forward alone. With his wealth, he suddenly took out an entire alley of money, and everyone knows who is standing behind him. "

"Choose a stranger, an outsider, and you have to be extremely trustworthy," Xiao Duan thought for a moment, made up his mind, and said, "I'll be the one to choose the person. Call your father over later, and I'll discuss it with him. I have an idea in my mind, so Sanlang and Sanlang should go and make arrangements with Chen Gui first."

 As to her family's future, Xiao Duan is very cautious.

Xu Xu was talking inside, and outside, people coming to pay their respects from each room also arrived one after another.

The third lady, Mrs. Chen, walked into the courtyard and looked up, she saw many people standing in the corridor.

Mother-in-law Ruan, Qingyan and others were standing next to her. Second sister-in-law Huang and fourth sister-in-law Yuan were also standing, biting their ears and talking. When the eldest niece Yun Jing saw her, she smiled and saluted, and then Waved to Lin Yunfang behind her. "Who's in there?" Mrs. Chen stepped forward and asked her sister-in-law softly.

“Yun Yan rested here yesterday,” Yuan replied, “the grandson and grandson were talking quietly.”

　　Chan's Yile.

Lin Yunfang had a long neck and a curious face, and was pulled back to her by Lin Yunjing.

“Let grandma know that you were eavesdropping, and I will deduct your pocket money.” Lin Yunjing teased her.

Lin Yunfang is the youngest daughter, with a particularly lively temperament. When she heard the words, she said: "Let me listen. If the second sister says something bad about us, I will also expose her shortcomings!"

Mrs. Chen heard this and laughed at her: "Are you still referring to you as Yun Yan? The old lady's ears are ringing with your bad deeds!"

After saying this, several people covered their mouths and laughed.

Lin Yunjing also laughed. She could probably guess that the whispers between her second sister and her grandmother were probably to reject her marriage.

 She entrusted the important matter of marriage to her second sister, and she could imagine the difficulty involved.

Second sister rested here yesterday. Did she talk to her grandmother once during the night?

Thinking about this, Lin Yunjing cast her eyes on Nanny Ruan and the others, trying to get some clues from their expressions.

 Mother Ruan’s face looked as usual, as did Aunt Cen.

 Ching Yan…

 Why does Qingyan look a little strange?

Before Lin Yunjing could think about it clearly, a corner of the bamboo curtain in the middle room was lifted from the inside, and Lin Yunyan leaned out.

 She said crisply: "Grandma asked the aunts to talk to each other."

 A group of people filed in.

Lin Yunyan took Lin Yunjing's arm and winked at her.

Lin Yunjing also smiled when he saw that she was confident.

The two sisters walked in tacitly, and out of the corner of their eyes, Lin Yunjing saw Qingyan looking at the hands held by their sisters, looking thoughtful.

 Very strange.

 The next time, Mr. Duan sat on the Arhat bed and received the ceremony.

Mrs. Chen reported: "Yesterday, Wanfu Tower sent a pattern for Yun Jing to choose from. This afternoon, Hongxi Hall will send a batch of new clothes for Yun Jing to try on."

"I was dazzled by the selection," Huang said, "and I asked the princess to hold my eyes for me."

"You have to choose carefully," Xiao Duan took a sip of tea, "If you can't choose Wanfu Tower, you can choose another one. You must choose the one you like."

Huang was slightly startled when he heard this.

That was true, but she vaguely heard some meaning of "not in a hurry" from Xiao Duan's words.

Obviously just a few days ago, Mrs. Duan expressed that she was a little nervous about the wedding and had to act more quickly. But today, it suddenly happened the opposite?

 Could it be that there was something going on in the marriage that she didn't know about?

Huang was suspicious and did not mention it rashly. He only carefully observed the situation.

With this observation, she could tell that something "was wrong" with Qingyan.

Yes.

When she entered the room earlier, she turned her head and seemed to see Qingyan looking at Yun Jing with an expression that was hard to explain.

  Does Qingyan know something?

　　　Thanks to the book friend Xu Bicheng’s official girlfriend and the store’s red envelope for the reward.
