Sanshou said that he knew clearly how his young master persuaded Tian Shuangquan to follow him to Beijing within two days.
In fact, it took no effort at all. His father only said that he would arrange a clerk's position for Tian Shuangquan in the Ministry of Etiquette, and that young master Tian nodded happily and agreed to follow them back to Beijing.
It's no wonder that the young master of the Tian family is a scholar after all, and he has a sense of aloofness in his heart. He feels uncomfortable being completely attached to the Yue family.
I just don’t know where his father is going to cause trouble. During the Chinese New Year, he just abducted his future son-in-law. In order to take him away, he even lied about "taking you to visit your superior during the Chinese New Year."
What kind of official does he, a clerk with no rank, need to meet? !
Speaking of Qin Zhuen, he himself didn't know why he had to take Tian Shuangquan back to the capital in despair. Maybe it's because he can't stand Tian Shuangquan hanging around Yan Tian?
When he thought that after he returned to Beijing, Tian Shuangquan would always be around Yan Tian in places where he couldn't see him. The two of them got along well, chatting happily, and being in love with each other...
no! no! He wants to kill someone.
So Tian Shuangquan has to leave the Yan family. As for where to go...it seems that he can only go back to Beijing with him...
When he first heard that Tian Shuangquan was going to Beijing to apply for a job, Yan Wenkuan couldn't help but be startled, but after thinking for a moment, he smiled and nodded in agreement. He also ordered Uncle Sun to give him a hundred taels of silver, which would be used as expenses for traveling to the capital. Tian Shuangquan is going to pursue his bright future, so Yan Wenkuan cannot stop him.
So, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Yu, Qin Zhuen and Tian Shuangquan left the Yan family and returned to Beijing together. The Yan family's father and daughter personally escorted the three people to the city gate. When it was time to say goodbye, Yan Tian called Yan Yu alone and gave him a pair of insoles embroidered by herself.
"My little sister has been offended a lot these days. Please don't take offense to my second brother." Yan Tian said with some embarrassment, "I wanted to make a pair of shoes for my second brother, but I just didn't have enough time. This is my little sister's wish. , Second brother, please don’t dislike him. I wish second brother to reach higher heights in the future and good news will spread frequently."
Yan Yu was shocked, and then immediately moved like a grandson. This is Yan Tian! The sharp-tongued and unforgiving Yan Tian! I actually embroidered a pair of insoles for him with my own hands! He even opened his mouth and said all auspicious words! He feels that this life is worth it! He quickly took the insole and put it into his arms.
Not to mention, no one from his two younger sisters had ever done needlework for him. Yan Xi is too young, Yan Yi is self-reliant on her talents and disdains this approach. What's more, this was embroidered by the cousin who was as powerful as a crouching tiger Arhat. Suddenly receiving this honor, Yan Yu was so grateful that she wanted to kneel down to thank her.
Qin Zhuen took a look at Yan Yu's bulging chest, his heart felt hot, and then he felt a little hope, and turned to look at Yan Tian eagerly.
Tian Shuangquan's reaction was a little slow, but he understood immediately. Although he was not as straightforward as Qin Zhuen, there was a hint of expectation in his hidden eyes.
Well……
Yan Tian decisively pretended to be blind and saluted: "Three brothers, have a good trip."
Yo! Or is it just for him? ! Yan Yu couldn't hide the proud boast on his face at this time. Good wind relies on strength, Mr. Yan wants to go to heaven!
Everyone said goodbye, the three of them bowed and then mounted their horses. At this moment, Qin Zhuen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. I feel a little sour and a little bored. He, the eldest son of Qin, has lived for almost twenty years, and suddenly he knows what it feels like to be melancholy.
Yes, he was melancholy...
…
Yan Yu and Qin Zhuen took their respective personal entourage, plus Tian Shuangquan, five people and five cavalry, all the way east. On the way, Qin Zhuen was honest this time and didn't make any mistakes, so the group arrived in the capital in only six or seven days. Yan Yu was just in time to go home for the Lantern Festival.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the capital, Tian Shuangquan was shocked by the servants sent by Ding'an Mansion and Changzhu Mansion to greet him. As expected, he was truly aristocratic. Even the stewards who were waiting at the city gate to receive his master were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an extraordinary bearing. They were no more inferior than the county magistrate from Chi Yuan's hometown.
Qin Zhuen was also shocked because he saw Dafu and Erlu, who came to pick him up, dressed like two red envelopes containing lucky money. Especially for his birthday, even their headscarves were red...
"Haha, you two... have you just come here after worshiping heaven and earth?"
Qin Zhuen wanted to make fun of him, but he saw Dafu quickly blushing. The big black face was steamed by the blush, and it immediately looked like a purple sweet potato just out of the pot. Qin Zhuen's stomach growled for no reason.
what's the situation? Qin Zhuen was shocked, what happened while he was away...
"We just got married in the year of great fortune." Erlu tightened the red plum dark pattern cloak around him, and then unfolded the folding fan gracefully and shook it in these nine cold days. "My outfit is purely for the Chinese New Year."
"Oh? Brother Dafu is married?" Sanshou jumped off the horse and smiled, hugging Dafu's neck and winking at him, "Where is the new sister-in-law from? Is she pretty?"
Dafu's face turned even redder, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
Erlu hurriedly continued to help him out: "The bride's surname is Gou, and she is naked."
Everyone present:...
Erlu was famous for his false politeness, and everyone in Yan Yu's house was not surprised. It's just that Tian Shuangquan didn't know who this person was or how close he was. Although he wanted to laugh, he still tried hard to hold it in.
Dafu raised his big purple sweet face, hugged his fists at Qin Zhuen, and said shyly: "Sir, subordinate, I am indeed married. The Gou family is a local from the capital, and was introduced by the brothers in the gang. . Originally, I wanted to wait for my master to come back before holding a happy event. But, the Gou family... Hehe, I'm anxious. He said that his subordinates are rare, and I'm afraid that others will get them again..."
The more he spoke, the more embarrassed he became, but there was still a bit of complacency in this embarrassment.
"Hey! You kid, you can do it! I haven't seen you for a few days and you've become a favorite! This marriage happened quickly enough!" Qin Zhuen said with a smile, "Wait for Sanshou to go to the accountant and pay him a thousand taels of silver. You, consider me a gift. How about the bride?"
"Hey hey hey... thank you for the reward." Dafu was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes. "Don't worry, Mr. Gou, Mrs. Gou is very good. Since I got Mrs. Gou, I wash my clothes every three days and have three meals very regularly. At home, It’s much cleaner and tidier too…”
"Ha! Okay! You really found a virtuous man!" Qin Zhuen slapped Dafu on the shoulder, feeling very happy.
"Well, well, aren't you virtuous?" Dafu was beaten until she was shaking, and her mouth was split open to reveal a pair of big yellow teeth, "If I don't work hard, she will really beat her to death..."
Everyone:...
…
Tian Shuangquan thought that after entering Beijing, he would have a bright future and be busy with visits and invitations. But in fact, Qin Zhuen just threw him to the steward of the outer courtyard of the princess residence and ignored him. The person in charge was considerate of his sincerity. He first helped him rent a house in Beijing, and then led him to take the invitation from the eldest princess's mansion and stuff it directly into the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
Although he is a clerk with no grades, he still does a serious job. Ordinary people would never be able to find a way to enter such a large government office in the capital. Therefore, Tian Shuangquan's fortune turned out to be great.
In fact, Yan Yu initially thought about taking him back to Ding'an Marquis Mansion. After all, he is his third uncle's nephew, and his grandmother has passed away. Maybe the old Marquis will be happy if the Tian family comes into the house. However, he was stopped by Qin Zhuen. Yan Yu doesn't remember much of the discord back then, but that doesn't mean his father and second uncle don't remember it. He didn't know whether the old Marquis was happy about bringing Tian's family into the house rashly, but the two brothers would definitely not be happy just for the sake of their ancestors, so they had no choice but to make things difficult for Yan Yu. If we trace the origin back to Yan Wenkuan and Yan Tian, these two people who are far away from Beijing will offend the family in Beijing for no reason.
As soon as these truths came out of Qin Zhuen's mouth, Yan Yu was really shocked. How could this demon king who is usually the boss and the second child be so considerate for others?
Could it be that Yan Yu was in a daze and was dreaming?
The dizzy Young Master Yan returned to the Hou Mansion with the joy of "my son has grown up" in his head. The first thing I wanted to do was to visit my grandparents. After dinner, they busily delivered the gifts they brought back to various places. But when I was packing my things, I couldn't find the pair of magpie insoles given by Yan Tian.
Eh? Weird thing! Yan Yu rubbed his head and walked around the room. Of all the things, this pair of insoles were obviously kept the most carefully, so why did they disappear? If Yan Tian knew this, would he be extremely disappointed in his second brother? The relationship between brother and sister Gong just now may also be on the decline...
At this moment, the eldest princess's mansion. Qin Zhu'en was staring blankly at the needle corners of the "magpie on the branch" under the lamp. This thing was stolen from Yan Yu when he was not prepared... ahem... he dug it out and kept it for him. Of course it doesn't count as stealing. How can something between brothers be considered stealing?
His mother, the eldest princess Xiangning, is still living in the palace. I don’t know when she will be back. Aunt Jin also followed her into the palace. Although there were countless servants in the mansion, he still felt lonely. This feeling is not unusual, he has experienced it from time to time in his life for more than ten years. But for some reason, this feeling of loneliness is particularly unbearable this year.
When did this feeling begin? Was it when you left Luozhou? Yan Tian's face unexpectedly came into view, with a pink face and an angry look in her eyes. Although she smiled gently, her eyes always seemed to contain insight and sharpness.
Ouch! Qin Zhuen shook his head, trying to get rid of the illusion in front of him. Such a girl is full of sharpness and indignation, like an untamed wild horse. He must be crazy. How come her face flashes in his mind from time to time in the past few days.
Qin Zhuen became more and more irritable, threw his insoles on the table, got up and ran to the yard to blow in the wind.
The winter wind is biting and the moon is bright and there are few stars in the sky. He suddenly remembered that it was also a cold winter night, but the difference was that the crescent moon in the sky was like a hook. In the back house of the Luozhou magistrate, Yan Tian stood alone in the courtyard, with a look of resignation on his face.
He had seen such emotions on his mother's face before. So at that moment, he felt a sudden pain in his heart. He just wanted to make the sullen girl in front of him smile as soon as possible. But why does that smile seem to be burned into my mind like this...
…
After Qin Zhuen returned to Beijing, except for going to the palace to visit the emperor and the queen mother on the second day, he actually stayed in the palace for three days in a row without leaving the house? This is abnormal!
"...Miss Yi from the Ding'an Marquis Mansion sent someone to deliver a New Year's greeting note once. The Hongxiu girl from Fangmanlou also came several times, but she did not dare to go directly to the princess's mansion. Instead, she went to Dafu first. I asked about my return date at my residence. Knowing that I would not be back until a few days later, I went back to wait without crying or fussing..."
In the small study room where the hero lives, Dafu and Erlu stand together like two New Year picture door gods, wearing red and green, which is very eye-catching. Erlu touched his newly acquired red sandalwood bone fan with care and reported everything that happened at home in the past two days.
"What big thing happened in Beijing during my absence these two days?" Qin Zhu'en slumped in an armchair as if he were boneless. He waved his hand at him first, and then asked Tong Dafu, who was in charge of the news, with a bleak expression.
Dafu was seriously picking up the rice stains on his clothes with his hands dipped in spit when he was suddenly startled by the question. He calmed down and said hurriedly: "That's right... there is one thing. Please come to the palace to see me, too." You have passed the Queen Mother, so you should know about this. Duke Ping's Mansion... During these days when I am not around, Duke Ping's Mansion is almost wiped out, with wives murdering their husbands and sons killing their mothers. It is simply a shocking tragedy..."
