Chapter 63

Because Yang Zhen was pregnant, the entire Tan family's old house in the capital became lively.

However, Yang Zhen's reaction was really severe. She would vomit whatever she ate, but she also had a strange taste and wanted to eat some rare things.

Tan Jian had to run in and out a hundred times a day, trying his best to find delicious and fun things for Yang Zhen to eat.

However, during this pregnancy, Yang Zhen no longer dared to dance with her sword, ride horses or play ball. She could only walk around the yard, which was very boring. When Tan Jian saw him, he stayed with his wife and tried his best to tease her. happy.

Whenever I can't make up my mind about something to order, I have to come to the main courtyard to ask for advice.

It's normal to be excited when you first have a child, but when Tan Ting saw that Tan Jian stopped reading and writing articles, he couldn't help but call him to the study.

"I see you are like this, so I'd better go to the academy early and not come back unless you have a rest."

As soon as he said this, Tan Jianmei's face suddenly froze after he had been smiling for several days.

"Brother, Ah Zhen is just pregnant and can't live without me..."

Tan Ting snorted and stared at his younger brother.

"Is it that she can't live without you, or that you can't live without her?"

When Tan Jian was asked this question, Tan Jian's face fell and he told the truth.

"Yes, I can't live without her..."

Tan Jian felt very uncomfortable at the thought of being separated from his pregnant wife for many days before he could go home.

The capital is not close to Bo Yun Academy. The academy has two types of schools: Xiaoxumu. Xiaoxumu has a half-day holiday. You can go down the mountain and walk around. You can also stay outside at night. You have to go back to the academy for classes the next morning.

Such a short break was once every five days, but if Tan Jian wanted to go back and forth to the capital, he would not have enough time, unless like Xiang Yu, his home was at the foot of Academy Mountain.

But the great rest, which can last for two days at a stretch, only happens once every half month.

Tan Jian looked at his elder brother aggrievedly.

"Brother, can you please slow down..."

Before he could finish his words, his elder brother glared back.

"How can a great man indulge in love at the age when he has made great achievements?"

After Tan Ting finished speaking, he glanced at his unsatisfied younger brother and walked out the door.

"Think about it for a while. Tell me when you think about it."

As soon as he left, Tan Jian collapsed, hunched over, and stood in the study for a long time without moving.

Until Zhengji saw the poor second master and persuaded him, "Second master, please go back first. It's not too late to think about it again."

Tan Jian left dejectedly.

really.

At his age, the eldest brother has already passed the imperial examination and will soon be admitted as a Jinshi. On the other hand, he himself has no confidence in passing the imperial examination.

He thought about what his eldest brother said all night, and finally thought about it the next day. Before his eldest brother and sister-in-law left home for the banquet, he went to the main courtyard.

...

the main courtyard.

Xiang Yi asked Chunsun to get a lake blue dress and put it on.

The Lin Mansion's annual spring banquet was the largest banquet second only to the palace. Xiang Yi had to be more solemn, but he didn't want to wear something as pretty as a little girl's, so he chose this color.

Tan Ting came over and took a look. Seeing that his wife was dressed more casually, he asked.

"I made two new sets of red ones. Why don't Yizhen wear one?"

Red is the color of the main room. Xiang Yi had no objection to wearing it, but she silently thought of today's occasion and just said.

"I think this lake blue one is more beautiful."

She had said so. Naturally, Tan Ting would not persuade her to wear anything else. Instead, he took a look at his own clothes and changed out of the yellow-brown brocade robe.

Xiang Yi looked over and saw that he had changed into the clothes he was wearing, and when he turned around, he also changed into a lake blue brocade robe.

The material is exactly the same as Xiang Yi's cloth, even the pattern is the same.

She was stunned for a moment, then saw the man who had put on new clothes neatly and looked at her with a smile.

"How about Yizhen?"

Xiang Yi was in a daze for a moment, and then she came back to her senses when she saw him bringing the jade belt to her, and tied the jade belt around his narrow waist for him.

The man is as tall as a pine tree. He usually wears darker colors, but today he wore such a eye-catching color that Xiang Yi couldn't help but take a second look.

Tan Ting noticed his wife's gaze and raised the corner of his mouth. When he saw her sitting in front of the dressing table, Qiao Yun neatly helped her comb her hair into a bun, and then took out Luo Dai to dye her eyebrows.

Her eyebrows are a little lighter, dyeing them makes her look more energetic.

But Qiao Yuan touched her wrist while working yesterday. She couldn't do such delicate work. Her hand shook as soon as it touched Xiang Yi's eyebrows.

"Ah, I'm afraid that I'll make a mistake and end up messing with my wife..."

Xiang Yi said casually. Just as he was about to say, "There's no need to dye your eyebrows today," he saw someone coming over.

"I'll do it."

Xiang Yi looked up and saw the old man in splendid clothes and jade belt passing the Luodai in Qiao Yun's hand.

They had never been like this.

Xiang Yi couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and just when he was about to say, "No need to bother," he sat next to her.

Before she could speak, the man reached behind her head, gently held her head from behind, held her in his hand, and faced him with her face.

He didn't speak at this moment, but looked at her eyebrows carefully. He used Luo Dai to draw on her eyebrows as carefully as she usually carves seals.

Xiang Yi held his breath for a moment.

Everyone in the room has already left.

Inside and outside the quiet room, the only ones left were a couple doing thrush in the morning under the carved window.

Xiang Yi glanced at the old man gently, then looked away, not daring to move in his hands.

...

Tan Jian felt that he had thought it through.

He was going to be a father, so he couldn't have a child without having any fame or family background. He also had to earn Yang Zhen a crown of glory.

We really can't indulge in love anymore...

He thought as he walked to the main courtyard of his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

The main courtyard was quiet except for a pair of orioles chirping quietly on the osmanthus tree in the courtyard.

But Tan Jian saw at a glance a man in a lake-blue brocade robe in the large carved window of the main room. He was holding his sister-in-law's neck with one hand and gently drawing her eyebrows with the other.

Tan Jian thought he had dazzled his eyes, so he rubbed his eyes hard and looked over again.

I saw that the man wearing a lake-blue brocade robe was none other than his eldest brother who "cannot indulge in love."

After the eldest brother dyed his sister-in-law's eyebrows very gently, he slid his palm from the back of her neck to her chin, held her face, and looked at it carefully for a long time, which made her uncomfortable and turned away.

Then, when a gust of breeze blew into the window from under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, the eldest brother lowered his head slightly and lightly touched his sister-in-law's eyebrows with his lips.

Tan Jian's eyes widened completely.

"This..."

Didn't the eldest brother say that a man should not indulge in love at the age when he has made achievements? !

I don't know if he was too shocked, but he didn't make any sound, but Xiang Yi immediately saw the second master standing upright in the courtyard.

The man's lips were still lingering between her eyebrows. Xiang Yi felt embarrassed when Tan Jian looked straight at her and quickly pushed the person in front of him away.

Remind him urgently in a low voice.

"Uncle, the second master is in the courtyard..."

Tan Ting paused, then turned his head and looked over, and at a glance he saw his younger brother who always picked the right time to appear.

Tan Jian originally wanted to ask his elder brother why he lied to him, but at the same time, he reversed what he wanted to say.

He said that he would not go to the academy for the time being and would wait until Yang Zhen felt better.

Anyway, the eldest brother is also obsessed with love, isn't he...

But before he said anything, he immediately swallowed back all those tough words with just one look from the eldest brother.

"I, I will go to the academy tomorrow..."

Tan Ting just snorted coldly without saying anything. His eyes signaled him to disappear immediately.

But before disappearing, Tan Jian boldly defended himself.

"Then I won't go to the Lin Mansion today and stay with Ah Zhen at home, okay?"

Even Xiang Yi couldn't bear to look at that pitiful look.

She glanced at Tan Ting lightly.

"Master, just agree."

She had already spoken, but Tan Ting naturally did not refute, and snorted again, which was regarded as agreeing to Tan Jian.

Tan Jian ran away without stopping for a breath.

I just ran outside the courtyard, and the scene I just saw in the window flashed through my mind, and I was still surprised.

Big brother is really different from before...

It was almost time, and Xiang Yi and Tan Ting went out.

Tan Ting was supposed to ride a horse, but he had to be held by someone and rode in a carriage with Xiang Yi.

Tan Ting was in the carriage and told Xiang Yi some people he might meet at the banquet.

As the turmoil among the candidates in Gyeonggi Province subsided, the estrangement between the two clans disappeared for a while. In addition, at this banquet, there were many nobles from the clan or noble families, so the tit-for-tat confrontation between the common people was not that serious.

Tan Ting said something to Xiang Yi, and Xiang Yi both listened and took notes. Not long after, the carriage happened to pass by a medicine shop.

The car curtains were rolled up by the wind, and Tan Tingcha took a look outside.

"Yizhen came to this medicine shop yesterday?"

Xiang Yi paused, she did come yesterday.

But she said she was giving her sister Xiang Ning a prescription, so Tan Ting didn't think much about it and just asked how Xiang Ning was doing.

"It's not bad. It seems that the climate in the capital is more suitable for her. It's gotten a lot better recently."

Tan Ting nodded, thinking to himself that he had previously asked people to pay attention to the villa near Bo Yun Academy. If he could buy one, no matter it was suitable Either Jane or Tan Jian and Yang Zhen are more convenient.

The other hospital hadn't finished buying it yet, so he was not in a hurry to talk to Xiang Yi. Instead, he said that he had bought an ancient book on ancient seal carving techniques for her in an ancient book shop. You'll be there.

Xiang Yi was stunned when he heard this, "Is it an only copy?"

There are not many books on seal cutting skills, and even fewer ancient books.

She asked, and Tan Ting smiled and nodded. Seeing her surprise, and fearing that she would think too much, he hurriedly said.

"Actually, it's not expensive."

In fact, it's not expensive, but that means it's expensive...

Xiang Yi thanked him softly and raised his eyes to look at him. From his neatly aligned lower jaw all the way up to his eyes, he saw When he was instructing Zhengji outside the car to do something, he silently looked at those eyes for a long time before looking away.

...

The streets outside the Lin Mansion were crowded with cars and horses.

They arrived quite early, and there were still some places to park, but those who came later had no idea where they would park.

Tan Ting and Xiang Yi entered the Lin Mansion together, and first went to visit their aunt, Mrs. Lin.

She didn't see Xiang Yi last time, but this was her first time.

Tan Ting walked with Xiang Yi all the way until he entered the hall, saluted Mrs. Lin, but did not leave immediately.

It was indeed the first time for Mrs. Lin to meet Xiang Yi, but at first glance, she saw the two of them wearing clothes of the same color.

The man has a handsome and straight figure, wearing a lake blue embroidery with ink ruffles, a white jade belt, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and is extraordinary handsome; the woman has fair skin, a slightly thin and slender body, and wears a straight collar with a lake blue embroidery and silver embroidery. A double-breasted gown and a moon-white pleated skirt are dignified yet feminine.

Mrs. Lin glanced over and was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses.

She couldn't help but look at Xiang Yi again.

Before she met her, she thought she was probably a good-looking Xiaojiabiyu. Later, when she saw Qin Jiao's letter, she felt that she was somewhat pretty, but her behavior was somewhat evil.

But when she saw her in person this time, Mrs. Lin thought in a daze that she was a girl from a rich family. She was so out of the world, making people forget about the world.

Mrs. Lin was silent for a moment, and then she spoke a few polite words to the two of them.

Tan Ting didn’t expect kind words.

Logically speaking, Xiang Yi is Mrs. Lin's natal niece-in-law. For such a big banquet, Mrs. Lin does not have a daughter-in-law, so her nephew-in-law has to accompany her to help. This is a decent act.

Tan Ting didn't leave for a while, waiting for his aunt's attitude.

He was thinking that if his aunt didn't mention it, he could only remind her.

But I saw my aunt calling Xiang Yi directly.

"Just stay with me for now."

Tan Ting felt relieved after hearing this.

He secretly glanced at Xiang Yi and felt more relieved when he saw that her expression was as usual and she was not uncomfortable seeing her majestic aunt or anything.

Mrs. Lin, on the other hand, looked at her nephew and frowned when she saw that he glanced at Mr. Xiang from time to time.

"Okay, you go find your uncle."

She said, glancing at Xiang Yi, and then talking to Tan Ting.

"I'll call you over later."

Tan Ting wanted to go, so he didn't think much about it, but he still whispered to his wife, who was standing quietly.

"If something happens to Yizhen, please ask someone to find me. I'll come over at any time."

Seeing her nodding in agreement, Tan Ting felt relieved, said goodbye to Mrs. Lin, and left for the time being.

He turned around and walked out. Xiang Yi took another look at the figure walking away in a brocade robe, but thought of something again and silently withdrew his gaze.

Mrs. Lin didn't say much to Xiang Yi, and she didn't set any rules. She did lead her to welcome a few guests.

Most of the guests at the back met Xiang Yi, the clan daughter-in-law of the Qingkan Tan family, for the first time. Mrs. Lin also gave her natal nephew-in-law face, and everyone nodded when they saw her.

After welcoming guests like this for nearly an hour, the guests finally arrived.

When the guests arrived, they all took their seats or enjoyed flowers and tea in the garden.

There was no one else around for a while. Mrs. Lin turned around and went back to her room to change clothes. Before leaving, she called Xiang Yi.

"Come with me, I have something to tell you."

After a while of welcoming guests, Mrs. Lin spoke to Xiang Yi alone for the first time.

However, Xiang Yi was not surprised. On the contrary, he followed Mrs. Lin to the room calmly as expected.

Mrs. Lin quickly changed her clothes and waved everyone off.

She took a serious look at Xiang Yi.

"Do you know why I brought you to see guests today?"

she asked. Seeing that Xiang Yi relaxed a little, he answered her.

"It's the eldest lady who will give face to her nephew's daughter-in-law and to the Tan family's wife."

She didn't mention herself at all.

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she knew that she was indeed a smart person and couldn't help but nodded.

"You are very smart, and I won't let you beat around the bush."

​​Mrs. Lin took a few sips of the tea at hand, put down the tea cup, and said directly.

"You and Yuan Zhi shouldn't have married."

After Mrs. Lin said this, she couldn't help but look at Xiang Yi again. Seeing that her expression was still calm, she looked at her a few more times, and then, in one breath, she He said what he meant.

"In the past, you came to the door with a marriage certificate, and the Tan family also performed the marriage. We were not unkind. But now you have also seen that there are constant conflicts between the common people. This time Yuan Zhi seems to have done a good job in appeasing him, but what he did this time , but he is quite criticized in the aristocratic family. After all, he is the eldest son of the aristocratic family. Why did he speak for the common people before? I don’t want to pursue it anymore, but there is no need to continue with your marriage. Why not take advantage of it? My child, it would be good for you and him to break up at the right time. What do you think?"

Mrs. Lin made it very clear.

After breaking up the marriage...

Xiang Yi didn't speak for a while, but pursed his lips.

Seeing that there was finally a slight change on her face, Mrs. Lin said again.

"I know that this matter is always harmful to women. But don't worry, I am not a wicked person who forces people to die. As long as you agree to reconcile and prepare a hundred acres of grain fields for you, you can marry another person in the future. "Whether you want to start your own business or not, these fields are enough for you."

She said, taking out the field deed that she had prepared long ago and placing it in front of Xiang Yi.

Xiang Yi looked at the thick stack of land deeds without making a sound.

Mrs. Lin allowed her to think for a while, took another sip of tea, and then said something else.

"You know what I mean. In fact, today's Spring Banquet is the day when I show Prime Minister Yuan Zhi. If you agree, I will arrange a secluded place for you today. You can avoid it first. As for these farm matters. , I will take care of it for you, and I won't let you suffer."

She explained everything to Xiang Yi neatly, and looked up at the niece-in-law.

"What do you think?"

Mrs. Lin's room was stuffy and made people feel breathless.

In this suffocating atmosphere, Xiang Yi suddenly remembered the visit to the old doctor for a follow-up consultation yesterday.

At that time, she followed the old doctor's instructions and took pills in the morning and evening for three days in a row, and then went for a follow-up consultation.

The old doctor carefully cut the pulses in her hands, and after a while, he sighed with her.

"Madam's cold syndrome, there is really no sign of improvement at the moment..."
