On the Double Ninth Festival, the Yu family mentioned the marriage of the two families, but it was just a general talk. Of course, from the purse in the gift Zhao Yuan received, it can be seen that the Yu family's favorite candidate is probably Fan Dan from the small long house.

In fact, Mrs. Fan can also predict that, after all, since Mrs. Yu wants to get married with the Zhongjun Mansion and gain benefits from it, the candidate has to be selected in the long room. The two sons in the long room are her own. Dan is also her own granddaughter, and it seems to be the same whoever is chosen.But firstly, Fan Dan's age is more suitable than Fan Tang's, and secondly, is it really necessary to pay for a granddaughter for this relationship?

Yu Shi would naturally hesitate, even if she ignored the objections of her youngest son and Ji Shi and married Fan Tang into the Zhongjun Mansion, if Fan Shi finally gave birth to a son, then she would definitely have conflicts with Fan Tang in the future.The daughter of the Fan family had internal strife. Wouldn't it be a waste of time if she wanted to get on the line of the Zhongjun Mansion?In the end, there will be discord with the youngest son's family, and the gain outweighs the loss.

In contrast to Fan Dan, the identity of a concubine is more suitable, and her natural confidence is insufficient. Even if Fan has a son, she will not fall out with her concubine's daughter-in-law, especially if this concubine's daughter-in-law is her niece.

Even if they fell out, the Qian family would not seek justice for a concubine...Fan Dan also knows how to like people better than Fan Tang. After all, as long as Zhao Yuan likes them, Zhao Chen will pay attention to them, and the Yu family will succeed .

Compared to the Fan family who was only superficial, of course it was more reliable to be a biological granddaughter.As long as you understand the purpose of the Yu family, you can see the inner reasons.

Fan really understood, and had imagined many situations on the way here, but she didn't expect Yu to speak so directly.

"Yu Niang, can you have a better candidate?" Mrs. Yu flicked her long nails impatiently, "I let someone put that purse last time, don't misunderstand that child... that gift I take it as a courtesy, but I can't delay the child's life just because of a little misunderstanding!"

"What return gift?" She was a little surprised at Shangyu's staring gaze, and quickly realized it.That time after she quarreled with Zhao Chen, she was so busy recuperating her body that she didn't even care about the purse... Zhao Chen must have asked someone to return the favor and express her refusal.

Now it was Yu's turn to be surprised: "What? That's not what you meant?"

Fan didn't bother to think about what she was thinking about, and immediately said: "This is exactly what I want to tell my aunt, let's forget about that matter, I really can't make up my mind about Da Lang's affairs, our lord seems to be I have been concerned for a long time, and I don't like others to interfere in Da Lang's marriage."

But Mrs. Yu waved her hand: "What do men know! They pretend to be the heavens and the earth in their hearts, and the marriage of their children has to wait for them to come and arrange the flowering period!" She leaned slightly and said to Fan, "Auntie may as well tell you I have a letter for you... The Northwest Dog Army is invading with great momentum, the monarch intends to replace the generals of the Northwest Army, and the general may lead the expedition after New Year's Eve!"

Fan's whole body was shocked, and he tried his best to control himself so as not to lose his composure.

"Is this news credible?" She asked calmly, her head in a mess.Why didn't Zhao Chen mention this to her?Not to mention the possibility of going to war, even if it was an invasion by dogs, he never said at all... Yes, she is no longer his trustworthy Yuniang, but because she is pregnant with a child, the inner house needs a mistress...

Fan stroked her swollen belly, uncontrollable resentment welling up in her heart.

Seeing her absent-minded expression and nervous movements, Mrs. Yu felt satisfied, and said casually: "Your uncle told me personally, now the three justices are discussing and proposing to go to the generals, the general Zhuyu is in front, can there be others?"

She paused, and then said: "Furthermore, if Zhao Chen leads the army to go out, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in spring. Let's make an appointment with the two families first, even if we don't tell him first? When he comes back, Everything is a foregone conclusion, is it possible that he will come to the door and refuse the marriage? Danniang was raised by Qian Shi's side since she was a child, and her appearance and upbringing are not bad, and she followed me in the past two years, how could I still treat her badly?"

Fan's family is already in chaos, but no matter how chaotic it is, she will not forget the secret order.Mrs. Ren Yu said a flower, Min Ji must be dead on Zhao Yuan's side, what else is Fan Dan doing?Even if she had the ability to fool Zhao Chen, she couldn't fool the monarch!

"No, auntie, Dalang's business is not good," she said, not wanting to go around in circles anymore, "Danniang is a good boy, but she is a little younger than Dalang. Hurry up, don't force me!"

Mrs. Yu was talking about it, and thought it was a certainty, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Fan would hesitate the last time.She didn't expect the monarch to be involved in it, she just felt that Fan had selfish intentions and didn't want her niece from her natal family to threaten her son's status in the future, so she couldn't help but get angry.

"I'm doing it for your own good, how can you be so ignorant of good and bad!" Her chest heaved and her face flushed with anger, "Don't be fooled by the power of the Zhongjun Mansion, forgetting that you are still a Fan family. female!"

Fan couldn't maintain her face anymore, she couldn't help sitting up straight, and said with a sneer, "Auntie's words are so irritating, how can I say I don't know what's good? I didn't know that I was not a daughter of the Zhongjun Mansion. Master, did you get dizzy after eating your own things? If it wasn't because I am a daughter of the Fan family, why would I listen to my aunt here to teach me a lesson!"

Yu shivered with anger at her series of snatches, and pointed at her speechlessly, "You...you..."

Fan Shi looked at her, she should have regretted too much, but she didn't, she just felt extremely happy!Over the years, she endured Yu's occupying her parents' yard, endured her forcing her uncle to send herself into the palace, endured her tampering with her dowry, and endured her forcing four beautiful girls!She doesn't even rely on her own man, so does she still need to rely on a mother's family without parents?

She laughed at herself, and said slowly: "Don't be angry, auntie, by the way, there is something I haven't told you yet. The girl you gave me, Chuncao, I gave her to Mr. Lang as a concubine earlier. ... Who would have guessed that Mr. Lang didn't like it, so he threw it in the small yard and ignored it. Now that I'm pregnant, my heart is soft, and I really can't bear her young daughter to be wasted in the deep house, and I have promised her to Zhuangzi People, they are married now."

Yu Shi stared at her coldly, the corners of her mouth were tense, as if she was about to devour someone, her momentum was astonishing.

Fan looked back at her calmly, without any fear.After experiencing the massacre scene of Qiushou Zhao Chen, she had to admit that it was hard for her to be moved by the intrigues in the back house.

Mrs. Yu seemed to be crushed by her, and threw the copper woman in her arms to the ground as if venting, shouting: "Where are people going to die! Why don't you take this copper woman out and exchange it for hot charcoal?" !"

A maid hastily opened the door and bowed in, picked up the copper woman and retreated.As if wanting to escape, Mrs. Yu shook her sleeves and said to change clothes.

Fan looked at her suspiciously as she walked into the inner room, since it was difficult for her to follow, she could only sit on the seat and wait.It's like water that is about to boil suddenly leaves the stove, and it starts to get cold for no reason.

Zhao Yuan followed the maid and got into the car again, and staggered all the way to the big garden.The maid was favored by the Yu family, her name was Qilu, so she liked to wear green clothes, and she didn't talk much, but she would point out to Zhao Yuan when she met scenery on the road, and she answered with a smile when Zhao Yuan asked her, her attitude was reversed. quite good.

In fact, Zhao Yuan had a pretty good impression of the Fan family. Whether it was a few friends or servants like Qiyu, they all showed good upbringing.Although he doesn't care what other people think or say about him, no one wants to face the latter situation when discussing secretly or pointing fingers in person.

"Then what kind of place is Rongxue Pavilion?" He asked curiously.He noticed that when Fan heard that he was going to Rongxue Pavilion, his shoulders obviously relaxed a little.

Qi Lu smiled and said: "The Rongxue Pavilion is in the Baihua Garden, it is right next to the flower hall where the banquet was held today, half of it is facing the water, and it is a hexagonal water pavilion. It's just that the water pavilion in our mansion has been slightly rebuilt, not only for enjoying the scenery on the platform, but also for enjoying the scenery. The banquet is held in the open hall, and there are two small rooms with windows on the left and right for people to rest and change clothes. At this moment, the water is frozen and covered with snow, and it is another scene."

Zhao Yuan became interested as soon as he heard it. The back garden of Fan’s family is closer to the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River that he remembered in his previous life. After entering, there are more mountains and rivers in the small garden.He had never seen such a serious water pavilion in his two lifetimes.

After the small caravan was limping around in the snow for about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yuan heard the sound of people's footsteps.He lifted the curtain of the car door, and the snow particles were caught in the wind and rushed towards his face. He blocked his eyes to see clearly. The flower hall might be in front of him. Many servants of the Fan family were holding or holding utensils in their hands. Heli carried a screen covered with dust cloth, back and forth in the snow and in the veranda, very busy.

Seeing that he had seen enough, Qi Lu gently pulled him in, and wiped the powder snow from his hair and eyebrows with her sleeve.At this time, a little girl hurried down from the veranda, braved the snow and ran to the car to call Qilu.

"Sister Qilu," the little girl stretched out her hand and handed in a small gold-plated brass woman, "this is sent by the eldest lady, who said that Xiao Yuanlang was afraid of freezing because he was young, so she asked him to put it in his arms." Cover."

Qi Lu paused for a moment, then stretched out her hand to take it: "I see, you can go." Saying this, she stuffed a purse into the little girl, and the little girl pinched the purse, showed a sweet smile and saluted Zhao Yuan, and then Turned around and ran back.Qi Lu ordered the coachman to go on, and then handed the copper woman to Zhao Yuandao: "The Rongxue Pavilion is not here, there is still a while, you should hold it warmer."

The car drove for another five or six minutes and finally stopped. Qi Lu opened the umbrella, and the coachman carried Zhao Yuan down and carried him all the way into the Rongxue Pavilion.Although there was an umbrella to block it, the flying snowflakes could not really stop it. When Zhao Yuan stood still in the open room, the snow particles on his hair and body had already melted due to the unexpected heating in the open room, and the cold water droplets flowed smoothly. It dripped down his neck, making him flinch involuntarily.

Qi Lu looked around and looked at him worriedly: "It's not good, you don't want to catch a cold if your clothes are wet, you should change your clothes!" She pulled Zhao Yuan to let him sit by the smoker behind the screen, "Fortunately Miss Yu was afraid that you would play with Da Lang Erlang in the snow, so when she was leaving, her elder sister Bisi gave your spare clothes to the slave, and the slave went to the car to get it."

"I see." Zhao Yuan wanted to say no, but he was really cold at the moment, so he stopped being hypocritical.Qi Lu walked around the screen and went out. He sat cross-legged on the thick cushion and looked around boredly. Didn't he say that Dalang Erlang is here?What about people?

He suddenly noticed that there was a cup of slightly steaming ginger tea on the small long table in the middle of the cushion.

Zhao Yuan felt a little strange: Why is there only one cup?Moreover, the open hall has floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, and there is always a screen to cover the smoker. After all, it is open, and there are drafts on both sides. The tea is still steaming, so it can be seen that there were people here at most a few minutes ago.

He looked at the saucer next to the refreshments, and there was only a piece of pastry the size of a thumb left in it.This kind of small snack is usually the favorite of women, because it will not stick to the mouth.

However, he curled his lips indifferently, maybe Dalang Erlang likes sweets as much as he does.Let Qi Lu get him some snacks later, he's a bit hungry.
