After the fiancé was cut off by the county owner

Chapter 77
Mrs. Yan still showed a little affection for Nanny Zhuang, and did not send their family to the government.According to her mother-in-law's instructions, Qi Tanying found the matchmaker and sold them to the northwest.

As for the greedy money of Zhuang Momo's family of three, Mrs. Yan thought it was too much, so she asked Qi Tanying to donate it to Jingyu Shantang in the name of Yan's family.

After selling out Nanny Zhuang's family, Mrs. Yan's mood was depressed for a while, and she was not as close to Qi Tanying as before.She is not a person who can hide things, Qi Tanying can see her estrangement from herself at a glance.

She privately told Yan Li about the change in her mother-in-law's attitude towards her, and Yan Li comforted his wife, "My mother has such a temperament, she is still a little awkward with you now, it will be fine after a while."

Seeing that his wife was still frowning, he said again: "If she said anything too much, I will apologize to you on her behalf."

Qi Tanying shook her head, her mother-in-law never said harsh words to her, but treated her more and more indifferently.Sometimes she also wonders if she has done something wrong?You shouldn't treat Nanny Zhuang's family like that.

But there was another voice in her heart to refute her, if she treats Nanny Zhuang's family lightly, there will be bold people who will learn from her in the future, the family who is greedy for money is small, if they betray the master and cooperate with the enemy, Yan Li will be destroyed , Ruined the entire Yan family.

She did this for the good of the Yan family.

Well, that's it.

Qi Tanying shook off the messy thoughts in her head, discussed with Yan Li, and transferred Sister-in-law Wu, who was cleaning the room, to Mrs. Yan to serve her.Sister-in-law Wu is also an old man of Yan's family. She was suppressed by Nanny Zhuang before, so she could only do some dirty work.

"She is an honest person who knows how to behave properly, and she followed my mother from Anhui to the capital. With her by her side, my mother should be much happier."

Yan Li did not object.

Qi Tanying said again: "I also want to transfer Xiangzhi to her, she knows how to make medicinal food, and mother is getting old, eating some health-preserving medicinal food is good for the body."

Yan Li nodded, "It's up to you to arrange it." He usually doesn't interfere with internal affairs.

After arranging the affairs in Mrs. Yan's room, Qi Tanying mentioned another matter.Household Minister Jian Weizhang sent an invitation card from the house, inviting Yan Li Qi Tanying and his wife to eat the full moon wine of the grandson of Jian's house in three days.

The smile on Yan Li's back gradually disappeared. Jian Weizhang had no contact with him in the past, and because he married his eldest daughter to the Qian Wang as his concubine, he automatically belonged to the Qian Wang camp.On the day when the eldest grandson is full of the moon, why invite him, a princeling?
Yan Li thought for a while, then said to his wife, "Just a small gift."

Qi Tanying understood, which meant that she was so polite that no one could reach her.

On the day when the grandson of Jian's mansion held the full moon wine, Yan Li ordered people to send the congratulatory gifts to Jian's mansion, and then went to Qi's house with Qi Tanying.

A few days ago, Mrs. Qi sent someone to spread the word that Mrs. Jiang had found out about the marriage for Qi Yukun, and she would bring the portrait over today, and asked Qi Tanying to go back and help with the details.

That's why Qi Tanying and Yan Lixuan went back to her natal home on this day.

When the two returned, Mrs. Jiang had already arrived and was looking at the portrait with Mrs. Qi.Seeing her daughter and son-in-law coming, Mrs. Qi hurriedly waved them over.

Mrs. Jiang brought a total of ten portraits of girls. Mrs. Qi picked and picked three girls.These three girls all have one thing in common, they are all the female relatives of the small official family in Kyoto who have just reached the age of Ji.

The first one was named Gu Yuanyuan, whose father was Gu Xiu, the administrator of Guanglu Temple.

The second name is Mei Fen, the daughter of Mei Jiankang, the head of the Ministry of Rites, she is the second in the family, she is gentle and polite, she loves to read and writes well.

The third is Xiao Yourong, the younger sister of Xiao Li, who was reviewed by the Hanlin Academy. She is not only gentle in temperament, but also very filial, and has a very good reputation among the neighbors.

These three girls are all girls from a scholar's family, and their temperament, appearance, and knowledge are equally good.

Madam Qi pondered for a while, and then picked out the portrait of Gu Yuanyuan, "Let's forget about this girl from the Gu family. She is the youngest girl in the family. She is doted on by her parents and held by her brother and sister-in-law. I think she will not have a good temper."

Mrs. Jiang thought about it, and felt that what her sister said made sense.

She asked her, "Where are the other two?"

Madam Qi breathed a sigh of relief, the other two are good, one is knowledgeable, the other is filial, they are both good girls, it is hard to choose.

She asked Qi Tanying and Yan Li, "What do you guys think?"

Qi Tanying prefers Mei Fen, who has a gentle temperament and loves to read, so she is the perfect match for Brother Kun.

Yan Li ordered Xiao Yourong.

There is no other reason. The Imperial Academy reviews and studies the history of the country. It is leisurely and neutral, and does not involve party disputes.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Qi actually thought of getting together with Yan Li. She didn't think about the important affairs of the court, but she liked Xiao Yourong's handsome appearance, gentle temper, and his brother was a Jinshi.

Seeing that her husband and mother both chose Xiao Yourong, Qi Tanying felt that Qi Yukun should make up her own mind.

So when Qi Yukun came home from the academy for the Dragon Boat Festival, he saw Mei Fen and Xiao Yourong respectively.

To Qi Tanying's surprise, he also chose Xiao Yourong.

Qi Tanying said to him in private: "This is something related to your lifelong happiness, you should think about it clearly."

Qi Yukun pulled out an extremely ugly smile, "My sister knows, I don't want to get married."

After hearing this, Qi Tanying felt extremely uncomfortable. She could force her younger brother to sever contact with Lian Er, but she couldn't force him to forget her.

Evil fate!
After a long time, Qi Tanying sighed helplessly: "Then let's talk about it when you think about it."

It is up to her to persuade the mother, Brother Kun doesn't want to get married, if he treats people too coldly after his sister-in-law enters the door, wouldn't he hurt the girl.

Qi Tanying persuaded Mrs. Qi with the reason that Qi Yukun wanted to concentrate on his studies. Qi Yukun had just turned sixteen, and he would only be 21 years old when he graduated from Danfeng Academy.

At that time, after passing the Jinshi examination and conferring an official position, marriage will be considered, and the range of choices will be larger.

How could Mrs. Qi agree? If her son doesn't marry a wife and have children, she won't feel at ease for a day. She is afraid that the old relationship between him and Lian'er will rekindle.

Seeing that her mother didn't listen to her advice, Qi Tanying asked her aunt Mrs. Jiang to persuade her. I don't know what Mrs. Jiang told her, but Mrs. Qi finally agreed.

There is only one requirement, that is, there must be a maid in Qi Yukun's room to serve him.

It's called a maid, but it's actually Tong Fang.

Madam Qi is determined to ask her son to completely forget about Lian Er.

Moreover, in order to avoid Qi Tanying's interference, Mrs. Qi sent him to her son's house without telling her. When Qi Tanying knew about it, there was already a beautiful maid named Luqiao beside Qi Yukun.

Qi Tanying had seen her before, she was Mammy Zhu's niece, a second-class maid in Mrs. Qi's yard.

Mrs. Qi's appointment of her as a housekeeper was out of trust in Madam Zhu.

Lu Qiao is not only Qi Yukun's roommate, but also his personal maid.

Qi Yukun didn't need her to serve him when he went to Danfeng Academy to study, but as long as he returned home, he had to follow him every step of the way.
