Chapter 47 Wind Movement

December was soon in December, and the weather was getting colder and snowflakes were floating everywhere in the capital, but the doors of each household were very lively. Those who reconciled, those who bought New Year's goods, those who went home for the New Year... At the end of the year, the ladies and wives of each family were busy.

Yao Yuying's uncle, Yan Qing, the eldest master of the Yan family, had his wife and children, and he returned to Beijing to report his work. He finally rushed to Beijing before Laba. Yan Qing was busy reporting to the Ministry of Personnel, and took advantage of the end of the year to invite his colleagues and friends to gather. After that, he managed to handle the work in various places. Finally, he got an accurate statement and asked to stay in the Ministry of Personnel. Yan Qing's wife, Mrs. Li, was also busy since she entered Beijing. She first prepared gifts for Yan Qing, and then ordered people to clean up the yard. Then she had to send gifts to someone who was familiar with her. This was busy until mid-December.

Mrs. Li just took a breath, but heard from the wife of an adult from the Ministry of Personnel that the Yao family was discussing marriage with the Feng family. Mrs. Li was surprised. She had been back to Beijing for almost half a month, but she had never heard from her aunt that their girl was discussing marriage, or she was discussing marriage with the Marquis Wenzhong's mansion. No matter how you look at this, it was strange.

The more Mrs. Li thought about it, the more confused she became. Although families like the Yao family and the Yan family were considered officials, they would not be able to get along with the Hou Mansion. Why did the Yao family discuss the marriage to the Hou Mansion?

"Hey, don't you know?" The lady pulled Mrs. Li in surprise. Seeing Mrs. Li's face was confused, she suddenly realized and hurriedly returned. "Yes, you have just returned. I don't know that it's just the right thing, let alone the two families have not agreed. Alas, I'll say something too much, you'd better advise your aunt. Feng Laosi is a prodigal son. He made a big ugly first two months before he was scolded by the emperor! Such a man, no matter how rich the Marquis' Mansion is, he can't get along! I've seen your niece, what a good girl, you can't let someone ruin it like this..."

Mrs. Li was stunned and smiled bitterly in her heart. Is my aunt crazy or something? How could she push her own daughter into such a fire pit? Mrs. Li has no daughter and likes Yao Yuying very much. She had some thoughts before she wanted to kiss her, but she didn't know that before she spoke, she was discussing the kinship. It would be fine to discuss the kinship, but she was still such a licentious person!

The next day, Mrs. Li went to the Yao family. When she saw Yao Yuying and Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Li almost dared not recognize her. Both of them described being thin, pale, and without any blood.

Mrs. Li looked at Yao Yuying and sighed in her heart. She quickly took off her cloak and pulled Yao Yuying. She frowned at Mrs. Yan, "Auntie, don't send a letter! This child is about to discuss marriage, and I, an aunt, have to know from others."

When Yao Yuying heard the "partner discussion", her body stiffened. Mrs. Li sighed lovingly, patted Yao Yuying's hand, and comforted her gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, tell my aunt if you have something to do! Don't listen to your mother."

Mrs. Yan trembled her lips and opened her mouth but didn't know how to argue. This matter was originally because she was sorry for her daughter, but this was decided by the old lady. The children did not say anything about their mother's fault. What would she say...

Yao Yuying felt sour in her heart, and she smiled reluctantly at Mrs. Li with red eyes, and then explained to Mrs. Yan: "Don't blame my mother for being an aunt. My mother is also anxious, but in this mansion..." Yao Yuying choked up as she said.

When Mrs. Li heard something was wrong, she hurriedly pulled Yao Yuying and quickly entered the house with her maid.

Yao Yuying ordered Yuegui to serve hot tea. Mrs. Li winked at Madam Qin. Madam Qin quickly retreated with a few girls, then lowered the thick door curtain, blocking the outside view.

"Good boy, tell my aunt, what's going on?" Mrs. Li stared at Yao Yuying, her eyes full of concern. "Don't be afraid, what do we say? This is your lifelong event. Do you know what kind of person the fourth son of the Feng family is?"

Yao Yuying's heart was slightly warm, and she pressed down the sourness that surged up her eyes. She smiled at Mrs. Li, "Thank you for your concern." She paused, looked at Mrs. Yan, and then hesitated, "Feng Si, I heard that it was not very good. She stopped our carriage on the street last time. If it weren't for Yue Gui's cleverness..." Yao Yuying's voice became lower and lower, and her head gradually lowered. The handkerchief in her hand was pinched into a ball, making people feel pity when they looked at it.

Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and the anger in her chest became more and more intense. She turned her head to look at Mrs. Yan. When she spoke to her mouth, she took a deep breath, suppressing the anger that was so angry that she was so angry that she was so angry that she was so angry that she said: "My aunt doesn't know who the Feng family is? Such a family should refuse directly! How can it make a fuss all over the city know? Yuying is your own daughter!"

Mrs. Yan was so frightened by Mrs. Li's anger that she took a step back. Before she could speak, she rolled down her tears first. "Sister-in-law taught her a lesson, but my mother responded to this matter. The master also said, "I..."

"Who did you say agree?" Mrs. Li suddenly jumped up from the chair, stared at her eyes, raised her voice in anger and astonishment, and confirmed in disbelief.

Is the Yao family going to sell their daughter?

Mrs. Yan looked at Mrs. Li in horror, then nodded helplessly.

Mrs. Li was so angry that she didn't know what to say, and she hated and angry at Mrs. Yan. She couldn't even say anything to her own daughter! Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Yan, and a feeling of powerlessness gradually surged in her heart, and her eyes looked at Yao Yuying even more pity.

"Everyone outside said they were discussing marriage, why did they agree?" Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Yan in disappointment, then pulled Yao Yuying and frowned.

Yao Yuying's eyes were red, and she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, told the whole story, and then talked about the attitudes of Mrs. Jiao and Yao Xingye. Finally, she remembered Yang Ling's words and added. "Listen to the rumors outside, I may not know about this matter, but I just said I was discussing relatives."

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief. It was better to have not been hired yet, and there was still room for improvement.

"Don't worry, my aunt will never watch you jump into the fire pit. My aunt thinks about it and discusses with your uncle. Don't worry, you have uncle and aunt here!" Mrs. Li repeatedly comforted Yao Yuying, and Yao Yuying nodded with sobs. Mrs. Yan looked around, feeling inexplicably sad.

In the evening, Yan Qing came back from outside with a smell of alcohol, but he was very awake, with a red face, and he looked in a very good mood. Mrs. Li served Yan Qing to wash up, and the couple was talking in the room. Mrs. Li said about Yao Yuying and finally sighed heavily. "Miss aunt looks like she doesn't dare to say a word. I look pitiful to Yuying, how could she give it to such a family? I think about it, Master, you have to talk to her father about this."

Yan Qing frowned and nodded, and was angry and a little bit self-blame. "Oh, I blame me too! If I hadn't been for my mentor, I wouldn't have let my younger sister marry into the Yao family, but now..."

The next day, Yan Qing entered the house with a cold face, gritted his teeth and cursed: "A brainless idiot! He is a sixth-rank official and wants to interfere in the overall situation! He is taking the Yao family to gamble! I want to see if those rich and powerful people have the life to change them!"

Mrs. Li had already dismissed the maid and the woman. She listened to Yan Qing's words in fear and was stunned for a moment.

On December 16th, there was a new interesting story in the capital. Yao Yuzhang, the concubine of the second wife of the Yao family, and the young master of the Wei Shilang family, fought in Hongcuilou for stealing a trick, attracting countless idle young masters to watch and applaud.

If we say that the capital is much lively, Yao Yuzhang's incident was not very big, but it could not resist the previous two months when Feng Sicai was exhausted from absurd fun. Therefore, the teenagers of each household were tightly restrained. However, Yao Yuzhang and Wei Er made such a big noise, and the capital spread instantly.

The next day, Yan Qing handed a memorial to the court, angrily accusing Yao Xingye of favoring his concubine and destroying his wife, and being unkind by his father. He was heartbroken between the lines and said sincerely. He also said that he was sorry for his family and expressed his sadness and sorrow of relying on his family as a young man, which made people sigh.

The next day, the censors of the Censorate jointly submitted a memorial to impeach Yao Yuzhang for not being strict in managing the family, being unfilial and kind, and not worthy of being an official.

A few days later, someone impeached Yao Xingye for being ungrateful and dereliction of duty, detaining official salary, etc. Although it was not a serious crime of beheading the head and confiscating the house, it would be a big problem to build it up like this.

The emperor issued an order to dismiss Yao Xingye's position and punished Wei Shilang. Then he ordered Yan Qing to serve as deputy director of the Ministry of Works Yu Heng Qing Literature and Supervisor of Military Affairs.

In a few days, the Yao family seemed to have changed their world, and there was silence everywhere. The Feng family then retreated the day after the emperor issued the order. Although Mrs. Yu was reluctant, she was scolded by Master Feng and had to give up her good wife.

In the Xining Palace, Xining King Lu Hanguang stared at Lu Junzhao for a while, frowned and said, "Did you ask someone to do it?"

Lu Junzhao didn't even raise his face, and denied it extremely decisively: "No!"

The King of Xining was so angry that he jumped to Lu Junzhao, pointed at Lu Junzhao's nose and gritted his teeth, and cursed: "Baby, I'm still eight hundred years early! It's not you, so why did Zhu San do? The inconspicuous Yao family can make the old slippers of the Censorate jointly submit a letter? I want to deny it with me, and your wings will harden you!" The King of Xining was full of anger, but his eyes were clear. After he had scolded his son, he took a breath, and a strange smile appeared on his face, and snorted at Lu Junzhao: "You have never cared about women's affairs, how did you know about the Yao family's inner residence? Tell me, who did you ask for help? Who gave you this idea?"

Lu Junzhao glanced at the King of Xining and said in a muffled voice: "Use all available forces, this is the art of war!"

"Bad!" The King of Xining interrupted Lu Junzhao's words and sneered and cursed, "You think I'm blind, ah? Don't think I don't know. Hu Wanda is the little girl from the Lin family!" As he said that, the King of Xining suddenly restrained his anger and looked at Lu Junzhao with a bright look and said, "You have been staring at him for a year, are you interested in that little girl?"

Lu Junzhao suddenly looked up at the King of Xining. The father and son looked at each other. Lu Junzhao turned his eyes and slowly said, "Don't worry about this!"

The King of Xining widened his eyes, then he was angry and angry, pointed at Lu Junzhao's eyebrows and cursed: "Baby! Your wings are hard! Okay, I don't care! I'll just see how you marry your wife back!"
