Yanfu.

As soon as Daohua came back from Nancheng, she heard that Mrs. Han was here.

Thinking that the visitor was her sister-in-law's mother, Daohua went back to her room to wash up and tidy up before going to the old lady's yard to meet the guests.

When I entered the old lady's house, I found that not only Mrs. Han was here, but also another lady.

When Mrs. Li saw Daohua, she immediately smiled and said, "Come and meet your Aunt Han and Aunt Fang."

Daohua smiled and stepped forward to salute.

Mrs. Han smiled and said: "This is Yiyi, she really looks pretty."

Daohua frowned slightly, her words were compliments, but now rumors about her and Xiao Yeyang were flying all over the capital, most of them said she was charming and seductive, and they were praising her good looks at this time,

It sounds a little uncomfortable.

Next, Mrs. Fang made Daohua even more unhappy.

Mrs. Fang didn't say anything inappropriate, but her eyes unscrupulously looked at Daohua from head to toe. That's not all. After reading it, she shook her head slightly.

Both of them are used to making scenes. Except for Daohua, the person involved, who was keenly unhappy, no one else noticed it. Under Han Xinran's deliberate prompting, everyone in the room was talking and laughing.

After that, Daohua noticed that Mrs. Fang looked at her with critical eyes several times, which made her very angry. She endured the discomfort and sat with her for a while, then found an excuse to leave.

Han Xinran saw them, looked at Mrs. Han and Mrs. Fang, said something to Mrs. Li, and left together.

After leaving the house, Han Xinran smiled and said: "Sister, your eldest brother has got some good tea. Do you want to come to my house and try it?"

Daohua couldn't refuse, thinking that she had nothing else to do now, so she nodded in agreement.

When the two passed by the garden, they saw Yan Wenxiu and Fang Hao sitting in the pavilion chatting.

Han Xinran immediately smiled and said: "It's your eldest brother and my cousin Fang Hao. They came back so early today. Come on, let's go over and see what they are talking about." With that, he pulled Daohua and walked over.<

/p>

Fang Hao is Han Xinran's cousin. Daohua couldn't avoid seeing her, so she followed Han Xinran to the pavilion.

After entering the pavilion, Daohua first greeted Yan Wenxiu, and then said to Fang Haofu: "Master Fang."

Fang Hao immediately returned the gift: "Sister Yan."

Han Xinran smiled and took Daohua to sit down: "The eldest sister is too unorthodox. We are all relatives. How can we call him a gentleman or not? You should follow me and call me cousin."

Daohua glanced at her eldest brother and saw him sitting aside with a smile. Thinking of Mrs. Fang in her grandmother's house, she had some vague suspicions in her heart and became upset for no reason.

"Why are you with Mr. Fang?"

Hearing that Daohua did not change her words, Fang Hao's eyes flashed, and the smile on Han Xinran's face became a little stagnant.

Yan Wenxiu said with a smile: "Now my cousin and I are both employed in the Hanlin Academy." Because of his wife, they have had a lot of contact in the past two years.

Han Xinran took over: "Cousin Fang brought my aunt to the capital some time ago. I just finished doing things at home, and today my mother brought her to our house for a visit."

Fang Hao looked at Daohua, then smiled at Yan Wenxiu and said, "I'll have to bother you more in the future."

Yan Wenxiu said with a smile: "We are all relatives, so we should move around more." Fang Hao is well-informed and knowledgeable. We can chat with him very well, and he is willing to have a close friendship.

After that, Han Xinran kept leading Daohuaduo to talk to Fang Hao, but Daohua just responded politely.

The sister-in-law's purpose was too obvious. When Daohua saw that her eldest brother didn't stop her, she felt even more irritated. However, she didn't blame him. Only her grandmother and parents knew about her and Xiao Yeyang's affairs.
p>

Now that she is involved in rumors, it is understandable that he is worried about his lifelong affairs.

It's understandable, but I don't agree. Should I tell her in advance about this kind of thing?

Also, judging from the way my grandmother and mother looked just now, they probably didn’t even know.

Fang Hao saw that Daohua was not warm to him, so he asked with a smile: "Sister Yan, don't you remember me?"

Daohua looked at him: "What I remember is that in addition to being my sister-in-law's cousin, you are also the fifth uncle of my cousin Zixuan's mother-in-law."

Fang Hao smiled: "Sister Yan may know me because of relatives, but I only met Sister Yan when the plague broke out in Jiguang a few years ago."

Hearing this, Yan Wenxiu and Han Xinran both looked over.

Fang Hao continued to smile and said: "At that time, I was also providing disaster relief in Jiguang. Because I had contacts with Governor Guo, I knew that Sister Yan risked her life and went to the city to save her brother. I remember when I heard about it,

I especially admire Sister Yan’s courage.”

Daohua was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly and said: "That happened many years ago, I don't even remember it." After saying that, he stood up and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I have something else to do, so I won't delay you from entertaining the guests.

, I’m leaving first.”

Seeing Daohua leaving, Han Xinran glanced at Fang Hao and followed him quickly.

"Big sister!"

After leaving the garden, Daohua stopped and looked at Han Xinran who called out to her.

Han Xinran saw that Daohua didn't look right. Thinking that she had always been smart, he should have guessed her purpose, so she asked: "Sister, what do you think of my cousin?"

Daohua frowned and said in a cold voice: "Sister-in-law, have you told your mother about this?"

Han Xinran shook his head: "My mother and Aunt Fang came here in a hurry today, and I haven't said anything yet."

Daohua took a breath and said in a somewhat harsh tone: "Sister-in-law, I know you have good intentions, but good intentions often lead to bad things. My mother-in-law, if you don't know how to tell me about my marriage, what do you think she will think? No mother-in-law would.

I like my daughter-in-law to interfere in her daughter’s marriage without authorization.”

Han Xinran was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Daohua's reaction to be so big, and he felt a little uncomfortable: "I didn't want to make the decision without authorization. I just wanted you to meet me today. Before that, I also asked your eldest brother, your eldest brother

There was no objection."

"Fang Hao is my cousin. He knows everything about his family background and character..."

Daohua really didn't want to hear this, so she raised her hand and interrupted Han Xinran: "Sister-in-law, no matter how good Mr. Fang is, it's impossible for me to be with him. My grandmother and parents have the final say in my marriage, so don't

Just worry about it."

Looking at Daohua who walked away, Han Xinran was really a little angry. After returning to her yard, she couldn't help complaining to Aunt Han: "Eldest sister's temper really needs to be changed. I'm kind-hearted for her."

, forget it if you don’t appreciate it, but what’s the point of scorning me?”

Aunt Han quickly persuaded her: "Girl, please don't be angry. I think the eldest girl is also annoyed by the rumors outside. In addition, the girl's family is very shy when it comes to her marriage, so she showed her face."

Han Xinran sighed: "I am a sister-in-law, so naturally I don't know her the same way. I am really worried for her. She will be seventeen this year. There are really not many girls at this age who have not yet been engaged, but she

There are so many rumors and rumors about the young prince, so this marriage will be even more difficult."

Aunt Han hesitated for a moment: "Girl, do you think it's possible for the eldest lady and the young prince to..."

Han Xinran shook his head: "The Yan family's family status is here, how could the royal family agree?"

Aunt Han nodded and said no more.

Han Xinran: "Instead of thinking about what is out of reach, it is better to be realistic. You and I both know what cousin Fang Hao is like. He has a strong family background and is capable. The most rare thing is that my cousin doesn't mind the rumors outside.

Although he is a few years older than my eldest sister, being older also has its advantages. My cousin is stable and considerate, and my eldest sister will definitely have a blessed life if she marries him."

Aunt Han: "...Girl, it's useless no matter how enthusiastic you are about this matter. You have to discuss it with Madam."

Han Xinran: "I know, didn't my mother and aunt come suddenly today? I didn't find a chance to say it. However, when my husband knew that my cousin liked the eldest sister, he didn't object. In addition, my father-in-law also liked my cousin very much.

Out of appreciation, I thought of letting my eldest sister and cousin get in touch first."

At the same time, the old lady’s yard.

While chatting with Mrs. Han and Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Li gradually realized that something was wrong. No matter what topic they talked about, they always brought it up to their daughter.

Mrs. Fang, who was talking with the mentality of inspecting her future daughter-in-law, suddenly asked: "Just now I looked at Miss Yan as if she just came back from outside?"

Mrs. Li: "That girl went to see her little sisters."

Mrs. Fang showed her disapproval: "Mrs. Yan, please don't blame me for talking too much. When this girl is old, she should stay in the backyard and run around all day long. If people see her, she will gossip."

Hearing this, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li both looked unhappy.

Mrs. Han saw this, and after all, she took into account that this was her youngest daughter's in-laws, and she quickly smoothed things over with a smile: "It's also that girl Yiyi who is too annoying. As soon as my siblings saw her, they couldn't help but rush to protect her."<

/p>

Thinking of her unmarried son, Mrs. Fang sighed in her heart. To be honest, she really didn't like the eldest daughter of the Yan family. She was attractive and had a bad reputation. But this was the first time that her son had said that he wanted to get married. She

Even if he is not happy, he still gets what his son wants.

"I sincerely care for Yi Yi. We are all women. We all know how important the reputation of a girl's family is. Now that Yi Yi is involved in rumors, she should pay more attention to her words and deeds. Otherwise, who will

Do you dare to come to propose marriage?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Li couldn't even maintain her facial politeness. Her daughter and her family didn't say a word, so it was no longer the turn of outsiders to make irresponsible remarks.

"Madam, what you say makes no sense. My daughter is very good. There is no need for outsiders to pity her. Also, my daughter was engaged two years ago. Madam, please don't talk nonsense, so as not to ruin my daughter's health."

Marriage!"

Outside the house, Yan Wenxiu and Fang Hao were just about to come in when they heard Mrs. Li's angry words.

Fang Hao was shocked and quickly turned to look at Yan Wenxiu: "Sister Yan is engaged?"

Yan Wenxiu frowned and did not answer, but quickly entered the room.
