Prince Ping failed to ask the emperor to withdraw the imperial edict. No matter how reluctant Xiao Yechen and Princess Ma were, Xiao Yechen still reported to Yuanma Temple in the suburbs of Beijing in despair that afternoon.

This matter was soon known to all the families in the capital, and everyone's reactions were surprisingly unanimous. They all agreed that the emperor disliked Xiao Yechen's nephew very much, otherwise, he would not have sent such a terrible errand to him.<

/p>

When the eldest prince, second prince, third prince, and fifth prince who went to Tangyu Mountain yesterday found out, they all had the same idea. They all thought that Xiao Yeyang was taking revenge on Xiao Yechen.

"Xiao Yeyang's move is really damaging. Let Xiao Yechen raise horses, it's a shame he can think of it."

"I heard that the smell in Yuanma Temple is very strong. Will Xiao Yechen smell of horses when he comes back?"

"If this really happens, I will not dare to eat at the same table with him."

When Duke Wei Guo heard about this, he frowned. He was the one who tried his best to promote the marriage between his legitimate daughter and Xiao Yechen. What he valued was that Xiao Yechen had a great chance of inheriting the title of the prince.

But now, he suddenly realized that he might be wrong.

Prince Ping may not value his son as much as he thought, otherwise, he would not let Xiao Yechen go to Yuanma Temple anyway.

The prince's legitimate son went to raise horses, which is a joke no matter what.

There is also the emperor’s attitude.

The emperor really showed no face to Xiao Yechen!

Although the title of the royal palace is based on Prince Ping's wishes, if the emperor does not agree, Prince Ping has nothing to do.

......

Yanfu.

As September enters, the Yan Mansion begins to be decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. All courtyards are hung with red silk, and everything is decorated with joy.

On the sixth day of September, Yan Wentao got married.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Jingwan’s dowry was carried into the Yan family.

Daohua came back on the first day of September. As soon as she came back, she was called by Mrs. Li to help. When she heard that the bride's dowry had arrived, she immediately put down what she was doing and ran to the third-bedroom yard to watch.

Looking at the dowry all over the courtyard, Yan Yile couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it said that the Zhou family has declined? Why is Zhou Jingwan's dowry still so rich?"

Yan Yihuan: "On Tuesday, I was just demoted and transferred out of the capital. The Zhou family was not raided, so the family fortune is naturally still there."

Yan Yile curled her lips: "The eldest sister-in-law's dowry is eighty-one kilograms, Zhou Jingwan's dowry is also eighty-one kilograms, and the fourth sister-in-law's dowry must be similar, but our second sister-in-law only has sixty-four kilograms, so she is directly compared to her.

Went down."

Hearing this, Yan Yihuan immediately glared at Yan Yile, looked around, and whispered: "Please calm down, my eldest sister-in-law is a girl from the Earl's Mansion, and the Zhou family and the Su family are both well-established families. How can the Zhu family compare?"

Got it?"

"Besides, the second sister-in-law's dowry is generous enough, and the thousands of books alone cannot be compared with anything else. If you just did that, don't say it again. The second sister-in-law is very good to you and me. There are some things that others can do

Than, you and I can’t do it.”

Yan Yile thought of Zhu Qiyun's care for her, and felt that it was a bit inappropriate to say that just now: "Okay, second sister, I won't be like this anymore, I just said it casually."

Yan Yihuan calmed down her mood: "You really have to guard your mouth, otherwise, you will suffer in the future. Not everyone can tolerate you infinitely like a family member."

Yan Yile didn't like hearing this and said perfunctorily: "I know, I know." After saying that, she quickly changed the subject, "Second sister, how much dowry do you think we can have when we get married in the future?"

Yan Yihuan paused: "How much financial resources do you think our second house has?"

Yan Yile: "Aren't there still uncles and aunts?"

Yan Yihuan frowned again: "Uncle, they can only add to the dowry for us. The majority of the dowry must be paid by our second wife, so don't expect too much."

Yan Yile pouted in dissatisfaction, thought for a while and said: "Elder sister will get married in more than two months. This is the daughter of the Yan family. We can't be much less than her, right?"<

/p>

Hearing what Yan Yile said, Yan Yihuan wanted to say something about her again. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Daohua and her elder sister-in-law, and her second sister-in-law came over with a smile.

"Stop talking!"

Yan Yihuan pulled Yan Yile and then led her towards Daohua and the others.

Yan Wenjie and Zhu Qiyun came to Beijing at the end of August, firstly to see the family that Yan Zhigao and his wife had arranged for Yan Yihuan, and secondly to attend the weddings of Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, eldest sister!"

Several people said hello, and then started talking about Zhou Jingwan's dowry.

Mrs. Zhou prepared a very rich and complete dowry for Zhou Jingwan, including dressing mirror boxes, clothing and quilts, gold and silver utensils, and rare treasures.

Because tomorrow is the day to get married, Han Xinran and Daohua were both very busy. They watched for a while and then went to work.

Zhu Qiyun also left with Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile.

On the way, Yan Yihuan asked: "Second sister-in-law, where is the second brother?"

Zhu Qiyun smiled and said: "My eldest brother's colleagues in the Hanlin Academy are here and are taking your second brother to accompany the guests."

Yan Yile immediately asked: "But Mr. Xue?"

Zhu Qiyun: "It seems his surname is Xue. Why, do you know him?"

Yan Yile curled her lips: "How do we know each other?"

Yan Yihuan glared at the sinister Yan Yile, looked at Zhu Qiyun and explained: "That Mr. Xue is most likely the person chosen by the family for the third sister."

Zhu Qiyun looked surprised, then smiled and said: "Really, I just took a look from a distance, Mr. Xue looks like a jade tree facing the wind, I think it's very good."

Yan Yile: "Of course it's good. Although my uncle doesn't love the third sister as much as he did when he was a child, he is still very concerned about her affairs."

Zhu Qiyun glanced at Yan Yile who had a sour tone, ignored her, and looked at Yan Yihuan with a smile: "What's the family background of the Xue family?"

Before Yan Yihuan opened her mouth, Yan Yile said first: "Of course it's great. The Xue family's ancestral home is Fenxi, and they are also a well-known family in the local area."

"The Xue family has been in Beijing since Mr. Xue's generation, and has been operating in the capital for three generations. Although Mr. Xue was only a casual official of the third rank when he became an official, Mr. Xue is only a fourth-rank official now, but the Xue family knows how to run a business in Beijing.

There are a lot of connections among them.”

"Mr.

Hearing Yan Yile speak in such detail, Yan Yihuan was surprised: "Fourth sister, how do you know so much?"

Yan Yile: "Of course I have to find out who the third sister is going to marry. Besides, these are not secrets." As he said that, he curled his lips.

"Although my uncle and aunt have been saying that they regard me and my second sister as their own children, judging from the matter of finding husbands for my second sister and third sister, they only talk nice, but in the end they still favor one over the other."

"Whether it's family background or talent, the person chosen for the second sister is not as good as the third sister. The Xue family's young master is already an official, and the third sister will become an official's wife once she marries. But the You family's young master is just an official. In the future,

We still don’t know whether we can become a Jinshi or not.”

"Fourth sister!"

Zhu Qiyun suddenly stopped Yan Yile and looked at her with disapproval.

Yan Yile patted her chest and complained: "Second sister-in-law, why are you so loud? You scared me."

Zhu Qiyun took a breath and looked at Yan Yile: "Fourth sister, you have to be grateful. You and the second sister can sit here because your uncle and aunt are raising you."

"Also, everyone has close relatives. Uncles and aunts are not your parents. You have no right to ask them to treat you as well as they treat your own flesh and blood."

Yan Yile's face instantly fell, but she couldn't find the words to retort, so she could only turn her head to the side with a sullen face.

Zhu Qiyun didn't look at her anymore, took Yan Yihuan's hand and asked: "Second sister, you don't think so too, do you?"

Yan Yihuan quickly shook her head: "Second sister-in-law, I don't. I know that my uncle and aunt are good enough to me and my fourth sister. I am quite satisfied with the family they have chosen for me. I am not unhappy."

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief: "Second sister, you are a sensible person. My sister-in-law told you that there is something going on. You can't just take it at face value."

"Marriage, in the final analysis, is all about being from the right family. The Xue family's family background is better than that of the You family, so the Xue family's requirements for their daughter-in-law must be stricter than those of the You family."

"Your father and brother are both white. Even if your eldest aunt finds you a wealthy family to marry into, you may look great from the outside, but if you don't have enough confidence, you will suffer a lot on the inside."

Yan Yile snorted: "But we are also daughters of the Yan family."

Zhu Qiyun: "Yes, you are indeed both daughters of the Yan family, but whether you come from the eldest family or the second family, the value is different in the eyes of outsiders."

"Although the third sister is a concubine, her father and brother are both officials in the court, and her sister is about to marry into the palace. In the eyes of outsiders, although we are a family, our relationship is still separated by a layer."

As he said that, he looked at Yan Yihuan.

"Second sister, Mr. You, your second brother and I have met each other. He is really a nice person, and his family background is also excellent for our second wife."

Yan Yi looked at Zhu Qiyun with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, I know. If you don't have diamonds, you won't do the porcelain work. I'm really satisfied with this marriage in the You family. If my future husband's family background is too good, I will really be scared.

What?"

Hearing what Yan Yihuan said, a smile appeared on Zhu Qiyun's face: "If you think so, then my sister-in-law will feel relieved."

Yan Yile on the side curled her lips with some disdain after hearing this.

As the second sister, she is still too honest. When others give her some benefit, she will burst into tears of gratitude and have no backbone at all.

Zhu Qiyun noticed Yan Yile's expression and felt a little headache. She thought to herself that she would have to find a chance to talk to her husband about this sister tonight and see if he could find a way to change her temper. Don't really become that person.

A person who is taller than the sky but thinner than a piece of paper.

......

Daohua didn't know anything about the second wife's sister-in-law. She went to bed early after working all day.

On the sixth day of September, early in the morning, Yan Mansion became lively.
Chapter completed!
