Chapter 168 Daily life in confinement 1

After finishing the work today, I learned that things were going on at home and I rushed back. I didn't have time to take a bite of the meal and said, "Madam, what's going on over there in the main house?"

Hua said sadly: "It's not like the Yan family's concubine went to the village and came back and encountered the people's oxcart overturning. The Sun family was full of food and showed off her power, and ordered people to beat the people.

It happened that our Yan'er came back from the village and met her. Yan'er couldn't stand the Yan family's style and took action to help the people seek justice.

Being brought before the Emperor by those with dark hearts, Brother Shen is guilty of not teaching Yan'er well."

Fahrenheit told the story in general, and said indignantly: "Let me tell you, the hearts of those people who spread rumors about our Yan'er being uneducated are really dark."

Nan Xin took a sip of the tea on the table and said, "How do you say this?"

"Oh, what else can I say?

When I went to the main courtyard, Ning Yatou told me that there were many people present at that time.

When these people saw that the carriage Sun was riding in had the sign of Zeng Yonghou, they all acted like quails. Only we, Yan'er, were not afraid of Zeng Yonghou and dared to get on it.

These people would pretend to be dead and not speak up for the people, and then later say that our girls hit people randomly without reason.

I would say these people who watch people being beaten are the ones who are uneducated."

Fahrenheit heard the news yesterday and went to the main courtyard to see what was going on.

After listening to what her eldest niece said, she didn't think her niece was at fault.

What made her a little worried was that now that something like this happened, it would be difficult for her to kiss her two little daughters.

Nan Xin raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that the Sun family is the concubine of Zeng Yonghou's second daughter-in-law."

"Isn't it just the second daughter-in-law's concubine? The first daughter-in-law's mother-in-law would not let the concubine in the house be so unreasonable.

It’s just a small family with a poor upbringing, so they dote on me like this.”

Rich families in the capital have many concubines.

Although these people are willing to pamper the concubine, they will not let the concubine do anything wrong outside on weekdays. They will obey the arrangements of their legitimate wife in everything.

That is to say, the Yan family does not have a legitimate wife, and Mrs. Sun plays the role of a legitimate wife outside.

After Hua Shi nagged for a long time, Nan Xin finally clarified the matter and said, "You are at home, I will go to the main house."

"It's already Haishi. My parents, brothers and sisters-in-law may have all rested. What are you going to do now? You have to wait until tomorrow." Fahrenheit said.

Nan Xin thought about it and thought so.

He came back late today. It's late and his parents and brother must have fallen asleep.

Nan Xin came to the main house at three o'clock in the middle of the night before dawn the next day.

Not only did he come, but his son Nan Chi was also called over to discuss the matter.

The men of the Nan family have to go to morning court and usually get up at three or four o'clock.

Nan Xin came over, Nan Zhonglun and Nan Liang were just preparing to have breakfast.

Nan Zhonglun heard his second son's intention and said with satisfaction: "You two, father and son, don't have to worry about Yan'er. Your eldest brother will take care of it."

Nan Xinming said unfairly: "I would say that the longer Marquis Zeng Yong lives, the more he returns home. This young man would cause such a thing outside."

Nan Liang echoed from the side: "Who knows, but this old man seems to be working hard, and there are quite a few little tricks behind his back."

Yes, the Nan family already knew about Zeng Yonghou's buying and selling of official quotas.

Previously, Marquis Zeng Yong was only responsible for the military camp, and they knew not to take too much care of it.

In recent years, the old man Zeng Yonghou has dared to extend his claws to civil servants.

It would be okay if this old man was honest.

If he insists on dragging his daughter into the abyss.

Because he extended his claws to the civil servant, Nan Liang didn't mind chopping off his hand.

Just in time to help my daughter vent her anger.

In fact, Nan Liang is not only elegant in conversation but also gentle in character.

If he is really cruel, he can throw a stone at you and still smile harmlessly at you.

People like Nan Liang are typically dogs that bite but don't bark.

After breakfast, the four men of the Nan family went to court. Those who did not need to go to court went back to have a rest, and then went to the official office to take up their duties when it was almost time.

Nan Chi was an "assistant teacher" in the Imperial College and did not have to go to court.

I discussed with my grandfather, uncle, and father how to deal with Zeng Yonghou's revenge next, and when I returned home, I would go directly to the Imperial College.

The Imperial College was the highest institution of learning and educational management institution in ancient times.

The job responsibilities of the Imperial College include: offering wine, doctorate, clerk, academic administration, professor, teaching assistant, supervisor of students, and all students.

A teaching assistant is an academic officer in the Imperial College or Imperial College. He assists the Imperial Academy in offering wine and the Imperial Doctorate to teach students. It is also called the Imperial Academy Assistant.

Nanchi passed the imperial examination a few years ago and didn't like being in the imperial court.

The Nan family used some connections to get him to work as an assistant in the Imperial College.

When Nan Chi returned home, his wife Yang asked, "Husband, I wonder how my uncle and grandpa punished my sister-in-law Yan'er."

Nan Chi glanced at her and said, "Why are you asking this?"

Yang was stunned.

Naturally, she wanted to ask her husband if her uncle had ever beaten or scolded Aunt Nan Yan.

Discipline Aunt Nan Yan well and tell her not to go out and continue to do things that bring shame to Nan Mansion.

But what should she say?

Nan Chi said to Yang, "Uncle, you have your own discretion in what you do. You have nothing to do at home. If you have time, go to the main courtyard with your mother for a walk."

"I know, I will go to the main courtyard to go to the main house with my mother-in-law later."

Nan Chi nodded, and then walked to the study room to read.

Yang's family is really Hua's family. She took her son and daughter, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took their two children to the main courtyard.

At this time, Nan Yan got up listlessly and half-reclined on the recliner.

Alas, her old father! Old father.

Her future husband had asked her old father to let her go for a walk, but the old father was too powerful and continued to confine her for disobedience.

Nan Yansheng was helpless as she ate grapes, spit out the skins, shook her head and muttered: There was bright moonlight in front of the bed, I suspected it was frost on the ground. She raised her head to look at the bright moon and lowered her head to miss her hometown.

Then he said a few times: Wrong, this poem should be read during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Then she crossed her legs, closed her eyes and thought about the poem that corresponded to her current scene.

Fang, Kong Shangci, Hua, and Yang went to Nanyan's courtyard, but did not see Zisu guarding the door. The door was closed.

Kong Shangci thought that his daughter was not in the room, so he walked forward and knocked on the door and shouted: "Yan'er, are you in the room?"

Like a cat lying on a lazy chair, Nan Yan heard her mother's voice and quickly spit out the grape skins from her mouth and said: "Yes, mother, come in!"

Zisu, who was outside, jumped up when she heard Kong Shangci's voice and hurriedly opened the door.

Nan Yan usually stays at home and doesn't like people being an eyesore around her.

Now she cannot go out without her father's orders, and Zisu cannot go to the Chamber of Commerce to help.

She didn't want Zisu to be with her all day.

As her eldest girl, Zisu couldn't possibly let Zisu do work like sweeping the floor.

After Nan Yan thought hard, she left Zi Su outside to make winter clothes for Dabai and his wife, while she enjoyed the hot and spicy food in the inside.

Kong Shangci stepped into the door and felt a rush of heat.

Seeing that there was a charcoal fire burning in her daughter's place, she said, "Yan'er, there is enough charcoal fire in your courtyard."

Nan Yan put down the grapes, wiped her hands with an embroidered handkerchief and said, "That's enough." Then she said, "Grandma, mother, second sister-in-law, and sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Mrs. Fang said with a smile: "Yesterday your father said that you were not allowed to go to the front yard. Your second aunt and your elder sister-in-law came to see you. Grandma came over to sit in your yard."

Speaking of her father not letting her go to the front yard, Nan Yan curled her lips helplessly.

Her father thought it was easy for her to run out when she went to the front yard, so he kept her in her own yard and couldn't go out for a walk.
