Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 391 Political Marriage
After all, Wang Chaopin was nearly 80 years old, and the few people talked for a long time, coupled with the exhaustion of the horses and horses, a tired look slowly appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Wang Yan got up and said, "Uncle, rest first, I will let the servants prepare the banquet, and I will come to ask uncle for advice after dinner."

Wang Chaopin was indeed a little tired, he nodded, Wang Jiezhi and Wang Fuzhi hurriedly helped him up from left to right, and Wang Yan stood up respectfully and looked at each other to see him off.

In fact, Wang Yan was very grateful to this uncle who came all the way to help him grasp the direction.

Wang Yan's father Wang Chaoli, because he failed in many tests at the beginning, became a small official in the government. He didn't have much time to teach Wang Yan, so he entrusted him to his uncle Wang Chaopin to teach him, so he studied with Wang Chaopin's family since he was a child, and his relationship was very deep.

Wang Yan is young and holds a high position, so it is inevitable that he will not think carefully when doing things. It is really a happy thing for him to have a well-informed and experienced uncle come to check for him and fill in the gaps.

Just when Wang Yan was grateful, Wang Chaopin suddenly stopped, turned around, and said: "Three years ago, after you went to Beijing to catch the exam, the family made a marriage proposal for you. It is the daughter of Changde Wu Zhizhou. Originally, after you were in high school, you were going to get married. But it took a few years after you went to Beijing, and Wu Zhizhou's family died at the hands of the Qing soldiers, so the marriage was abandoned. Now that you are in a high position, if you don't get married, it will inevitably make you angry. People feel that they are not stable enough, have you considered marriage matters?"

The ancients said "start a family and start a business", why put the two together, that is, in the eyes of the ancients, starting a family is a sign of a man's maturity, and only when he is married can he establish a foundation.

Hearing this, Wang Yan was taken aback for a moment, and said: "Just wait for the parents to come, and Yan will marry Miss Xu."

Wang Chaopin simply turned around, "My uncle has already met that Miss Xu, she is well-educated and reasonable, and she is also a queen of a martyr. She is a good girl, but with Shi Heng's current status, marriage matters should be considered for the family, and it is also a matter of marriage." It should be considered for the future court situation. When the uncle left Hengyang, Governor He sent someone to meet your parents, but your father pushed them to my place. The person who came seemed to have the intention of marrying the two families. This is what the uncle said. Think about it for yourself."

After talking about Wang Chaopin, he asked Wang Fuzhi's two brothers to help him into the bedroom to rest. Wang Yan was a little dazed.

After all, Xu Yanyan stayed in a brothel. Although Qian Qianyi took Liu Rushi as his wife, there was a lot of abuse and a boat full of rubble. It is relatively open, but an existence like Wang Yan who takes a woman from a brothel as his wife will inevitably become the object of abuse.

Wang Yan watched Wang Chaopin enter the bedroom, and heaved a long sigh, life is like this, nine out of ten things are not satisfactory, he can only wrong Xu Yanyan.

At this time, Wang Yan withdrew from the house, returned to the front yard with a heavy heart, and continued to deal with affairs, until it was getting dark in the evening, when the servants came to inform that Mrs. Xu had prepared a dinner for the Wang clan.

Wang Yan immediately put down his official duties and returned to the backyard with his staff. Seeing five large tables set up in the courtyard, Wang Yan and Wang Dynasty hired one table, so they began to eat and drink.

Confucianism was prevalent, so the scholars in the Ming Dynasty seldom talked about excessive drinking. Most of them were very restrained and did not cultivate themselves. Much more.

The banquet lasted from Youshi to Haishi. At this moment, Xu Yanyan put down the book in her hand and couldn't help getting up and asking, "Xinger, is the Duke still having a banquet?"

Although Wang Yan has been back for three days, he has very few chances to meet Xu Yanyan, and he usually returns to the mansion in the middle of the night. When the rooster crows, he has to go to the palace to discuss business matters.

The maidservant Xing Er shook her head, "It seems that she is still drinking, miss, don't worry, Xing Er told Uncle Fu that as soon as the banquet is over, he will send someone to report!" Going on, she is already 16 years old this year, and she was considered a big girl in ancient times. She has long passed the age of bowing, and her psychology is more delicate than ordinary women.

Wang Yan has always restrained himself very much, usually he would not drink so late, what happened?
At this moment, an old woman from outside the house ran in and hurriedly said: "Miss, Uncle Fu said the banquet is over, but the Duke seems to have drunk a little too much." She quickly got up and walked out quickly. At this time, Wang Yan's two cousins ​​carefully supported the drunk Wang Yan. After a while, Xu Yanyan rushed over with Xing'er and four servant girls.

Seeing this, Xu Yanyan quickly asked her maid to take Wang Yan from the hands of the two young cousins. She saluted slightly, and then asked her servants to arrange for the Wang clan to rest. Help back to the inner house.

At this time, Wang Yan suddenly became drunk, and vomited while leaning on the courtyard wall. Xu Yanyan patted his back lightly, feeling very distressed, but complained in a low voice: "Why do you drink like this?" After a while, Wang Yan felt a little sober, Xu Yanyan quickly supported him, and slowly helped him into the room.Wang Yan was not very drunk, his mind was very clear all the time, he watched the servant girl bring a big bowl of hot sour soup for sobering up, Xu Yanyan quickly helped him up from the bed, and gave him a full bowl of sour soup. A bowl of sour soup, and he took off his shoes, socks and coat, wiped his face with hot water, scalded his feet, and felt warm in his heart.

In the past year, Wang Yan basically spent his time outside, marching and fighting, and was entangled in government affairs after returning. His body was actually very tired.

Xu Yanyan was busy for a while, and she felt relieved when she saw Wang Yan's complexion improved.

At this time, she asked the servants to retreat first, and after looking at it for a while, she was about to leave, but when she turned around, Wang Yan suddenly grabbed her and hugged her in his arms.

Xu Yanyan was flustered for a while, but Wang Yan didn't take the next step, but looked at her and said: "Yanyan, I will wrong you after all~"

The two of them connected with each other, and Xu Yanyan understood Wang Yan's meaning in an instant. In fact, with his intelligence and the stories she heard from Li Zhenli and Li Xiangjun, she had long been prepared and never expected anything.

When she heard the words, she couldn't help but bury her head in Wang Yan's chest, and said in a shy voice: "My wife~ my concubine~ It doesn't matter, as long as I can be with Brother Wang, Yanyan will have no regrets~"

Ancient China was a truly patriarchal society. Women who had backgrounds in brothels often had very tragic endings. Among the eight beauties of Qinhuai, only Liu Rushi married as a wife, and the others were all concubines.

Chen Yuanyuan, the heroine who claims to be a confidante in a rage, is only General Wu's concubine. It can be seen that General Wu's love for Chen Yuanyuan is not as good as the sixty-year-old man Qian Qianyi's love for Liu Rushi. How could he possibly For a female stream to check and offer?
After listening to Xu Yanyan's words, Wang Yan hugged her tightly. After a while, he turned over and pressed her petite body under him.
