Ouyang Xiu was a little embarrassed to speak, he was not qualified to ask about other people's private affairs, especially when he asked her personal questions to a young woman, how obscene and unbearable he was.

But if this matter is not clarified, there is no next direction of action, he does not want to know about it, and he does not want to offend Yan Shu because of Su Jin, so he also wants the woman with a senior tongue to probe the privacy of others.

"Niece Xian, this official has some abrupt words that need to be confirmed to you, and I hope that Niece Xian will not be surprised if it is rude." Ouyang Xiu said with difficulty.

"Uncle Shi asked, Biyun knew everything."

Yan Biyun's face was calm, she had already listened to all the answers between Ouyang Xiu and Su Jin after the curtain, and she could guess seven or eight points in her heart about what Ouyang Xiu was going to ask.

"This ...... For the fate of the virtuous niece, this official has always expressed deep sympathy and regret, which I have also expressed to Uncle Ling's uncle, Lord Sansi, but there are some things that can be helpless, and please mourn and change. Ouyang Xiu planned to comfort him politely first.

Yan Biyun looked at Ouyang Xiu with wide eyes: "What is Uncle Shi referring to?" Could it be that something happened to my loved ones in my family? ”

Ouyang Xiu was depressed and wanted to die, and coughed lightly: "This official is not talking about your relatives in the family, but about the son of the Pang family." ”

Yan Biyun was surprised: "It turns out that you are talking about the slave family losing their husband before they get married, but the slave family wants to go wrong; But there is nothing to say about this, although the son of the Pang family has a marriage contract with the slave family, but the slave family has never even seen him, and for the slave family, he has no impression of him; Besides, it has been several years since he passed away, and the slave family is just sorry, so how can he say that he is mourning? ”

Ouyang Xiu's heart was panicked, how could this woman say such things publicly, after all, he is your fiancé, how can you say that you are not sad at all when he dies; But on second thought, it is true, a person who has never met has never had his impression in his mind, and it is indeed difficult to cause a sense of sadness when he dies, as Yan Biyun said, except for regretting his untimely death at a young age, it is difficult to have any other feelings.

"That's right, it seems that the official is too worried, this ...... Is Sanji-sama in good health? Are you all right at home? Ouyang Xiu was a little incoherent.

Yan Biyun said with a smile: "Uncle Ouyang is really good at laughing, when the slave family heard that Uncle Shi was coming to Yangzhou, they wanted to find an opportunity to meet Uncle Shi and ask about the current situation of Uncle Shi by the way, but Uncle Shi asked about the slave family first; Uncle Shi just came from the capital, but the slave family has been away from the capital for more than two months, and the slave family should have asked you. ”

Ouyang Xiu slapped his head and laughed at himself: "Look at the official's brain, he can't turn around, it's true, I had a small gathering with Lord Sansi before leaving Beijing, why did I ask about you." ”

laughed at himself in his mouth, and was shocked in his heart, Yan Biyun claimed to have been away from Beijing for two months, and Su Jin took the errand for exactly two months, it was obvious that the two had been together all along; Pink confidante? What about the liar, which fan's confidante followed you and didn't go home for two months?

"Uncle Shi, if you have something to say, ask directly, you are an elder, the slave family is a junior, there is no need to be formal, so you are also tired, and the slave family is also tired." Yan Biyun said calmly.

Ouyang Xiu said: "Okay, in this case, the official will ask the virtuous niece a few questions; What is the relationship between Su Jin and you? Do you have a marriage covenant? ”

Yan Biyun blushed and said softly, "Can the slave family not answer this question?" ”

Ouyang Xiu's heart was half cold, this answer actually explained the problem: "It must be answered, because the stakes are very high." ”

"Slave family...... The slave family and he are not currently married. Yan Biyun plucked up his courage and said.

Ouyang Xiu asked skillfully, "What does it mean that there is no marriage contract yet?" Don't you agree? ”

"Not really." Yan Biyun lightly smashed Ouyang Xiu's fantasy: "Uncle Shi should know about the marriage contract between the slave family and the Pang family, and the marriage contract is not dissolved, how can the slave family have a marriage contract with others?" Therefore, there is no marriage contract with him at present. ”

Ouyang Xiu said solemnly: "Then does Lord Sansi know about this matter?" What did he say? ”

Yan Biyun stroked her hair and said softly: "My uncle has repeatedly asked the Pang family to dissolve the marriage contract, but the Pang family has refused, and the slave family knows that my uncle has no choice, after all, the marriage contract needs the permission of the male family." ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "Virtuous niece, don't blame the official for speaking directly, then you, an innocent woman, are living and walking with the envoy Su like this, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right?" Not for anything else, but if this matter is publicized, it will also damage the reputation of Lord Sanshi, haven't you thought about it? ”

Yan Biyun's face was blood-red, which was accusing herself of not abiding by women's morals and fornicating with others, which was a tact, but it was heavy enough.

Yan Biyun took a few breaths, raised her head and said: "What Uncle Shi said is naturally for the good of the Yan family, but Uncle Shi is afraid that he is thinking too much, although the slave family and Su Jin go all the way and live under the same roof, but the slave family and Su Gongzi are innocent; The slave family is also a knowledgeable person, how can he do something that corrupts the door without shame; And Su Gongzi is not as unbearable as adults think, he ...... He was also a humble gentleman who would never ...... Never ......"

Yan Biyun's face was red again, this time it was not ashamed, but suddenly remembered that Su Jin had picked himself up several times, and the white rabbit on his chest had been played with by him many times, and he also talked about him being a gentleman, which was really a bit ridiculous; She was blushing for Su Jin.

"Oh? The envoy of the Soviet Union had such determination. Ouyang Xiu blurted out, and immediately regretted it as soon as the words came out, these words were ambiguous, implying that they praised Yan Biyun's beauty, and the subtext was: You are so beautiful, he can bear it?

It is naturally good to praise others for their beauty, but it is inappropriate for him to say this to a junior woman as an elder, Ouyang Xiu hurriedly remedied: "What this official means is that this official has misunderstood you. ”

Yan Biyun smiled slightly and said: "There are many misunderstandings and misunderstandings in the world, and the slave family and Su Gongzi have a clear conscience and are not afraid of the blind suspicion of others. ”

This sentence comes from the bottom of my heart, although the two are intimate, but after all, the last level has not passed, that is, innocent, although even Yan Biyun does not know that his innocent body can be kept for a few days, but at least he is still complete for now.

Ouyang Xiu groaned: "What this official wants to say is that even if you are courteous to each other, outsiders don't see it that way, and your identity is the wife of the Pang family, it is always inappropriate to follow Su Jin like this, so leave him and go home early." ”

Yan Biyun said: "The slave family will never leave him." ”

Ouyang Xiu thought he had misheard, and asked, "What?" ”

Yan Biyun said: "Uncle Shi doesn't know, why did you want Su Jin to take over this grain matter?" ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "Isn't it to do a good job of the emperor's mission at the invitation of Lord Sansi, share the worries of the imperial court, and at the same time seek a good future?" ”

Yan Biyun shook his head and said softly: "Uncle Shi, the slave family doesn't go around the bend with you, Su Jin's original intention to take over this errand is not what you said, but for the slave family." ”

Ouyang Xiu was stunned and said, "For you? ”

Yan Biyun walked to the window gently, looked at the bright winter sun outside the window and was stunned for a while, then turned around and said faintly: "It is for the slave family, Su Jin and the slave family met in Luzhou, and the two of us gradually fell in love after several contacts, but the identity of the slave family is a big mountain that hinders us from being together, so the slave family once rejected him; But things in the world are very difficult to guess, and the slave family then had a serious illness and almost died; My uncle asked famous doctors to treat the slaves, but to no avail. ”

Ouyang Xiuxin said: "I'm afraid this is lovesickness." ”

Yan Biyun continued: "The slave family is not afraid that Uncle Shi will say that I am cheap, but the slave family feels that I can't be with Su Gongzi in this life and is born tasteless, so the illness can't be cured for a long time, because they don't know what I think in my heart; Later, the slave family's personal maid inadvertently told her uncle about me and Su Gongzi, and the uncle knew that the slave family was sick, so he promised the slave family to dissolve the marriage contract with the Pang family, so that the slave family and the person they liked were together. But breaking the marriage contract is not easy to say. ”

Ouyang Xiu looked at Su Jin, who was chewing bread in the far corner, and saw that his cheeks were bulging, and he didn't look like he was eating, and said in his heart: "What's so good about this guy?" If you want to be born without a background, if you want to be famous or not, you have to die or live for him, you really can't figure it out. ”

Later, my uncle took the slave family to Yingtianfu to see Su Jin, and he made his words clear, and Su Gongzi also had a headache about the marriage contract; Later, the food affairs in various places swarmed, and the uncle talked about food affairs with Su Gongzi, and Su Gongzi put forward a lot of opinions, and the uncle thought that Su Jin might be able to help him complete the food affairs, so he wanted to recommend him, but Su Jin was unwilling. ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "Are you saying that Lord Sansi recommended him entirely because he was quite insightful about food affairs?" ”

Yan Biyun said: "It's not all, maybe it's for the sake of the slave family's face and wants to pave a future for Su Gongzi." ”

Ouyang Xiu nodded silently, this sentence is the truth.

Yan Biyun continued: "Su Gongzi didn't agree, because he knew that this errand was not easy to do, because Su Gongzi had a grain business at home in Luzhou, so he understood the actions of the profiteers; He was a casual person, he didn't like to be caught in the whirlpool, and he didn't have much interest in officialdom, so he resigned. ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "Then why did you agree again?" ”

Yan Biyun's eyes were shining, and he said with a smile in his eyes: "That's for the slave family." ”
