After the fiancé was cut off by the county owner

Chapter 21 Character

Just when Qi Tanying didn't know how to solve the predicament, Yan Li asked someone to check on the Qi family's tone, and wanted to see Qi Tanying again.

Qi Tanying agreed after a little thought.

Mrs. Qi was a little puzzled, "Didn't you miss him last time?"

Only then did Qi Tanying realize that her mother had misunderstood, and she immediately explained.

Mrs. Qi glanced at her daughter, "But he is 13 years older than you, the age gap is too big."

Qi Tanying doesn't care about the age difference, she sees it very clearly, if Yanli is a teenager, can he have the official rank and position he has today?

Seeing that her daughter seemed to have made up her mind, Mrs. Qi hesitated for a while, and then told about Yan Li's taking a concubine.

"Although he has never been married, his family has a concubine who has been with him for ten years."

Qi Tanying frowned, "Concubine's room?"

Mrs. Qi nodded, "That concubine is still a good concubine. Although she doesn't have the name of a regular wife, the neighbors in the neighborhood have long regarded her as the daughter-in-law of the Yan family."

After hearing this, Qi Tanying's eager heart suddenly became cold.

It was because she was thinking too simply, she should have understood that at Yan Li's age, it is impossible not to have someone to serve her around.

It seems that the way of getting married is not feasible for the time being.

She had the idea of ​​leaving the Jiang family, maybe as long as they moved away from the Jiang family and away from Jiang Liangyu, Princess Changxing and Princess Qingyang would feel at ease.

They live in Jiang's house now, except for borrowing Jiang's house, they use their own money for food and clothing, even if they move out, it doesn't make much difference.

Qi Tanying shared her thoughts with her mother, but Mrs. Qi had concerns. They could go out to dinner with Mrs. Jiang if they borrowed from Jiang's house. If they moved out, they would have no chance to contact the circle of the aristocratic family.

In addition, Qi Juemin, the head of the house, did not dare to come to the house because he was afraid of the Jiang family. If they moved away from the Jiang family, how could their orphans and widows be able to resist the wolves, tigers and leopards in the clan.

In the final analysis, there is still no man in their family to support the family. If her husband is still there, or her son Qi Yukun has already married and started a business, they don't have to be so hesitant.

Mrs. Qi wanted to dispel her daughter's idea of ​​moving out of Jiang's house, and warned: "Don't talk about moving away in the future. Have you forgotten about the eldest girl of Dongling Palace? Our mother and father live outside. What about the bad guy?"

She also said that she would ask her aunt Mrs. Jiang to help her find a suitable marriage.

She didn't know that Mrs. Jiang was very optimistic about Yan Li, seeing that Qi Tanying didn't want to see each other again, she tried to persuade her for a long time.

In order to deal with Mrs. Jiang, Qi Tanying agreed to meet Yan Li.

The last time Xiangjian was disturbed by Jiang Zhenyu, this time the address of Xiangjian was changed to Juxian Tea House in Xingqingfang.

Mrs. Jiang booked two private rooms in Juxing Tea House. When Qi Tanying met Yan Li, she and Mrs. Qi were drinking tea next door.

This time Qi Tanying didn't deliberately dress up, whether it was dresses or hair accessories, they were much quieter than last time.

Yan Li's eyes fell on her fair and beautiful face, and he suddenly thought of the line in the poem: If you want to compare West Lake to West Lake, light makeup is always suitable!
Just when Yan Li was distracted, Qi Tanying had already figured out the reason to refuse in her heart.

"Master Yan must have understood the situation of the Qi family. My father passed away early, and I have been dependent on my mother and younger brother since I was a child. If you marry me, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you in your official career."

Yan Li didn't expect her to be so straightforward, and she was a little lost when she met those dark and bright eyes.

After a while, he straightened his face and said: "Miss Qi said that Yan understood, but Yan never thought of relying on the power of his wife and family to obtain wealth and glory."

Qi Tanying was a little surprised, and heard him ask again, "Yan is 13 years older than Miss Qi, does Miss Qi mind?"

Qi Tanying never minded his age.What she minded was that he took a concubine before marrying a wife.

She asked, "I heard that your family has a good concubine."

After all, she is an unmarried girl, even if Qi Tanying is not the kind of well-behaved lady, she still feels a little uncomfortable asking about this matter at the moment.

Yan Li nodded slightly and explained to her:
"She and Yan are from the same township, and her family was in trouble, and her cousin took refuge in Yan's family. Some accidents happened in the middle, so she became Yan's concubine."

"Her family is kind to the Yan family. I promised that unless she leaves on her own initiative, the Yan family will always be her home."

After hearing this, Qi Tanying felt a little complicated.

It seems that he has a deep relationship with that good concubine. Since she was a child, she envied the relationship between her parents, Qin Se and Ming, and she didn't like the relationship between husband and wife and other people.

With that concubine around, she and Yan Li would be impossible.

A tinge of regret filled her heart, and she couldn't help asking him: "Since she is from the same town and has been in love with her for ten years, why didn't Lord Yan help her upright?"

This was a bold and abrupt question, and Yan Li was stunned for a moment before he realized it.

He thought for a while and replied: "She is destined not to be Yan's wife."

Was it because of her status? Qi Tanying didn't understand. The concubine in Yan Li's family was a good concubine, so she should be an innocent woman from a good family. He said that he didn't care about his family background when he married.

Then why can't it work when you come to the concubine?After all, there was no saying that a concubine's room could not be righted in the current dynasty.

Qi Tanying really couldn't understand.

"It seems that we are not suitable. I hope Master Yan can find a good mate as soon as possible."

After saying this, Qi Tanying stood up and said goodbye.

Watching her leaving back, Yan Li's eyes darkened, and it took a long time before he let out a long sigh.

On the other side, Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Jiang have been observing the two next door, but because the sound insulation is too good, they only listened to a few words intermittently.

Seeing her daughter coming out, Mrs. Qi immediately asked: "A Tan, how is your talk with him?"

Qi Tanying looked at her mother's concerned eyes and shook her head slightly.

Mrs. Qi's face darkened, "Why, he still dares to despise our family?"

Qi Tanying hurriedly said: "That's not the case." She hesitated for a moment and then said: "He has a deep relationship with that good concubine, and I don't want to get involved."

Mrs. Qi frowned and looked at Mrs. Jiang, "Sister, didn't you say that his concubine is just a decoration?"

"How can outsiders know so clearly about the things in his room." Mrs. Jiang said: "I asked someone to inquire about it, and said that the concubine stayed in her room every day and did not serve Yan Li, which means that she Not favored."

Qi Tanying understood that not being favored was just her aunt's conjecture, not what she actually saw.

Mrs. Qi was very angry, and angrily blamed Mrs. Jiang for almost harming her daughter. If Qi Tanying married in a muddle-headed way, then Yan Li would spoil her concubine and destroy her wife, and her whole life would be ruined.

As he was talking, he couldn't help mentioning the previous marriage contract between Qi Tanying and Jiang Liangyu, "If it wasn't for Sister's treachery, brother Liang would have become my son-in-law long ago." How could it be as embarrassing as it is now.

Qi Tanying and Jiang Liangyu's earlier wedding date was set at the beginning of April, which is why Mrs. Qi rushed to the capital despite the cold spring weather.

Mrs. Jiang didn't like her sister's old stories to be repeated the most, "Twisted melons are not sweet. Brother Liang always likes Princess Qingyang in his heart. Even if A Tan marries him, will they be happy?"

Not to be outdone, Mrs. Qi said, "You're not a fortune teller, so how can you be sure that Brother Liang will be happy if he marries my family, A Tan?"

Mrs. Jiang: .
