Chapter 257: Yan Mansion (1)

Since Xia Yan's death, Xu Jie shrank his head after several tests. Lu Benwei was timid, Yan Song was really powerful... The power of the court was really not considered to be. This was decided by the Ming Dynasty's official system using a small system to control the big system.

Li Mo was aggressive for a while last year, but after Qian Yuan entered Beijing, Yan Song regained the initiative with the help of Hu Zongxian.

Although Yan Song was old and was scolded in the official congratulations just now, there were still countless officials who came to Yan's house to visit, and even the two streets next door were filled with sedan chairs, and the followers were everywhere, staring at the doorman with eager eyes.

Qian Yuan walked outside the Yan Mansion gate under so many gazes. Before he could submit the post, Bai Qichang, who had been waiting at the side door for a long time, had already greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, Lao Bai, how are you lucky these two days?"

As everyone is here, Qian Yuan doesn’t need to deliberately show a sense of distance. Although he knows that the Yan Party’s reputation is too bad, it is really a good match.

"Don't mention it, my eyes were green when I lost." Bai Qichang complained: "Donglou Gong is now skilled and swept across thousands of troops..."

"Isn't it because I was deliberately giving money?"

"How is that possible?" Bai Qichang's face turned pale, "Donglou Gong saw through it at a glance."

The two of them laughed and talked about entering the mansion. The entourage waiting outside all stared at each other with wide mouths. Their master came to wait before dawn. For a few hours... Even if they were sitting in the sedan chair, their butt would be numb.

Today's situation is not small. In addition to Yan Shifan, Bai Qichang, Tang Ruji, and Zhao Wenhua, there are also the Minister of Justice Ouyang Bijin and the Left Deputy Censor Yan Maoqing, who is the famous Yan Party in history.

Although Ouyang Bijin is Yan Song's brother-in-law, his reputation is not bad, and he has some connections with Qian Yuan.

Ouyang Bijin is Yu Dayou's boss, Qian Yuan and Yu Dayou are close friends. The two chatted about Yu Dayou who was training in Shaoxing. After that, Ouyang went straight to the backyard, and now all those who stayed in front were acquaintances.

"I heard that Zhan only visited everywhere yesterday?" Yan Shifan said with a weird smile.

Qian Yuan spread his hands and said, "I ran away for a day, but I couldn't get lunch or dinner."

"Hahaha." Tang Ruji laughed and said, "It's a pity that Brother Donglou has already made a marriage, otherwise it would be a good marriage."

Those who are here dare to say this, Yan Shifan was quite sorry. To be honest, Qian Yuan is really a good son-in-law, the key is that it is very suitable for his own preference.

Yan Shifan's only daughter has been engaged. The man is Kong Shangxian, the 64th generation of the Confucius Mansion in Qufu, Shandong, or the big mediator of Emperor Jiajing.

Qian Yuan shrugged and said nothing. He had collected this information yesterday, otherwise he would not dare to come to the door today.

"By the way, the legitimate granddaughter of Brother Yuanzhi is suitable." Yan Maoqing suddenly said this. This person was handsome and spoke very sharply. Qian Yuan couldn't help frowning slightly.

Zhao Wenhua had this idea and looked at Qian Yuan with a smile.

"By the way, I want to thank Brother Siji." Qian Yuan first thanked Tang Ruji, then turned to look at Yan Shifan, "Brother Donglou, I don't care about my relatives and family background, I only want to be beautiful."

Yan Shifan squirted out tea and pointed at Qian Yuan and cursed: "He is a minister of the Ministry of Works and one of the great nine ministers, do you still dislike him?"

"No wonder I have to thank me...that pair of sisters must be loved by Zhan Cai." Tang Ruji looked at Zhao Wenhua with a smile.

Zhao Wenhua is really not very good... her nose is a little collapsed, her eyes are a little small, and her eyebrows are short and thick.

Qian Yuan continued to complain, "Don't mention it, I ran away all day yesterday and sent it to people to see you... I don't ask if I can see you!"

"Mr. Qian doesn't ask for high-ranking officials and generous salaries, so it's not okay to choose someone who looks comfortable?"

"No matter how you are, you will live your life!"

Everyone else present shook their heads in their hearts. Marriage is not a matter between men and women. It is often related to the entire clan, and only Yan Shifan praised this.

Later generations said that Yan Shifan was extremely poor and Ye Yu was ten daughters, but in fact, he had only four concubines beside him, not as many as Xu Fan.

More than ten years ago, Yan Shifan personally chose the daughter of his fellow villager Xiong. He was quite affectionate after getting married. However, ten years ago, Xiong passed away from childbirth. Yan Shifan fell in tears and returned to his hometown to take care of his funeral. It was not until this year that he continued to take over the daughter of Anyuanhou. It is not unpleasant to be affectionate.

Speaking of these things, Yan Shifan simply asked his son to come out to greet him.

"Uncle Shi."

Yan Shaoqing, who was in charge, was twelve years old, and Yan Shaoting, Yan Shaokang and Yan Shaogeng were both seven or eight years old, and there was also a shaking little baby, Yan Shaoying, who was only three years old.

"There are many descendants." Qian Yuan smiled and took out the prepared jade pendants from his arms and handed them over them one by one, and touched Yan Shaokang's head, "Be good, so good."

"Uncle Shi."

Qian Yuan was stunned, and the two people at the last were about the same age as him, with beards longer than him, blushed and screamed again: "Uncle Shi."

Qian Yuan remembered it, as if he was Yan Shifan's adopted son. He grinned and took out two jade pendants to put them over, "Be good."

After all the people left, Tang Ruji pointed at Qian Yuan and scolded: "What a creepy ghost!"

Yan Shifan also gave Qian Yuan a blank look, stood up and said, "Put the table."

Qian Yuan followed Zhao Wenhua with a smile and chatted casually. Although he was teased today, Zhao Wenhua had been obeyed by Qian Yuan and did not care at all.

Yan Shifan listened carefully and secretly praised in his heart. Not to mention anything else, this kind of calmness and awareness of tact are not comparable to ordinary people.

You should know that yesterday's post was Yan's mansion, which represented Yan Song and not Yan Shifan, but Qian Yuan did not ask why Yan Song did not show up... Yan Shifan didn't think Qian Yuan dared not ask.

Everyone sat down and had three rounds of wine. Yan Shifan couldn't help asking: "Don't it taste?"

Although Qian Yuan put down his chopsticks, there were very few people who entered his mouth... Well, he cooked himself in the past few years as long as he had the conditions. Even if he didn't have the conditions... he also picked a few from the guards to train them carefully.

"Qian is going to write a book." Qian Yuan put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Name after Suiyuan."

Tang Ruji, who is quite talented in poetry, asked curiously: "Suiyuan Poetry Collection?"

Qian Yuan said seriously: "Suiyuan Cookbook."

There was a burst of laughter on the table, and Yan Shifan's trembling hands fell down, "It turned out that he disliked this dish..."

"Yuan Zhi said that you have gained filial piety because of cooking, but you didn't expect to get in and get in. You are all ready to write books and spread them to future generations!"

"No kidding." Qian Yuan said seriously: "If you have no poetry and no literary talent, you can only find another way to leave a name in history."

Zhao Wenhua couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He would not forget the poem in the village at the foot of Linping Mountain. "I advise the God to shake up and to bring talents without any restrictions."

After the banquet, Yan Shifan skillfully led everyone to the side hall, and the specially-built mahjong table was ready.

"Master." A servant walked in.

Yan Shifan was preparing to take revenge today, and immediately said: "Zhancai, go in first, and come out later and have a good fight."
