The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

After Yan Muxi finished speaking, without waiting for Prince Rong's reaction, he pulled Yan Muwan and Yan Muzhi, and retreated one by one.

When he escaped from the flower hall, he turned around and found that Yan Muyun had followed him out.

He was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, "Third sister? Why are you out too?"

Yan Muyun looked puzzled, "Shouldn't I come out?"

She was planning on picking a man today, but the idea of ​​him being a concubine was not included!

Not to mention whether she could accept sharing a husband with someone else, the low status of a concubine was something she could not accept.

The status of Prince Rong is too noble and he is not within her range of choices for a son-in-law, so of course she tries to stay as far away from him as possible.

Yan Muxi closed his eyes resigned to his fate. The person had already come out, and it would be bad to push him back in.

Forget it, I hope that rich kid inside can be more reasonable and not take out all his anger on her.

It was almost the evening when they returned to Yan's Mansion. After visiting the old lady at Fujuyuan, everyone returned to their respective courtyards.

As soon as he entered Manwei Garden, Yan Muxi felt that the atmosphere was different from the previous few days. There were the sounds of maids and old women talking and laughing in the house.

As a result of Aunt Ge's miscarriage, my father ignored my mother for many days, and the atmosphere in Manwei Garden was also low for many days. The laughter we could hear today was probably because my father had loosened up on us.

As expected, when A Niang saw her, she boasted happily, "Sister Xi, come and taste some of these oranges. Your father sent them to me. He said they were sent by subordinates in the government office. We only got a few, but they taste so sweet!"

Yan Muxi looked at the bright yellow oranges and asked, "Dad is here today?"

"No, the government office is busy at the end of the year, and your father is busy. The oranges were sent by Yan San."

Seeing that A Niang was laughing so hard that her eyebrows were not visible, Yan Muxi suppressed what he wanted to say and picked up an orange from the basket to play with it, "This orange is really good, it shows that Dad misses A Niang the most!"

In the past ten days or so, supplements from Manwei Garden have been delivered to Junlan Garden in a continuous stream, and it is time for some noise to come out.

Qian Manman blushed, "You little girl are always good at making up stories about your mother! By the way, your cousin Haochuan will come to Luodu in two days."

Qian Haochuan is my grandfather's adopted grandson, and also the one with the most talent for business among his many adopted sons and grandsons. Over the years, he has taken over most of the Qian family's business.

Yan Muxi asked in confusion, "Why did my cousin suddenly come to Luodu when things are so busy at the end of the year?"

"Mother asked your grandfather for a painting. I thought it was valuable and was afraid it would be lost or damaged, so I sent your cousin Haochuan to deliver it in person."

After hearing Qian Manman's explanation, Yan Muxi had a bad feeling.

"What calligraphy and painting did you ask Grandpa for?"

Qian Manman frowned and thought for a while, "Hmm... It seems to be a painting by Qin Yizhang, Mr. Qin. Mother doesn't really understand it, but your father and many scholars like it. I think it must be a top-notch painting."

Yan Muxi put the orange he was playing with back into the box and asked, "Did Daddy say in person that he likes Mr. Qin's paintings?"

Qin Yizhang was a painter from the previous dynasty. All his paintings were destroyed in a fire. Only a handful of his paintings are left in the world. They are priceless and worth a fortune.

Perhaps only her mother in the world could use something worth a fortune to please her husband.

Qian Manman frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, your father is very stubborn, how could he ask for your grandfather's things? Mother heard from others that your fourth brother wants to be a disciple of Fang Shanzhang of Tiansheng Academy. I heard that Mr. Fang likes Mr. Qin's paintings the most, and your grandfather happened to have got one many years ago, so mother wanted to ask your grandfather for it and help the fourth brother become a disciple. Then mother can get rid of the guilt towards Ge, and your father will be happy too!"

I'm afraid only the last half of the sentence is from the bottom of my heart.

He was plotted against and had his flesh and bones dug out, but he still thought he was very smart and knowledgeable.

Yan Muxi knew that he couldn't change anything, but he still wanted to ask.

"Does mother know that grandfather has a leg disease?"

Qian Manman nodded blankly, then shook her head. She didn’t know.

In her eyes, her father was omnipotent and powerful enough to solve any problem. He could earn enough money that she could not spend in several lifetimes. As long as she wanted something, her father could get it for her.

Yan Muxi stared at her, her eyes neither sad nor happy, "Grandpa's leg disease was caused by doing business when he was young. A bandit leader stepped on his bones and broke them. After so many years, it still hurts a lot when it's cloudy or rainy. No medicine can cure it."

"Mother, you know that Grandpa's money didn't just fall from the sky. Every penny was earned through hard work."

Qian Manman's expression was dull. "So, is your grandpa's leg better now? There are many famous doctors in Luodu City. How about mother find some orthopedic doctors and send them to Jiangnan?"

As expected, they were talking at cross purposes again. Yan Muxi smiled bitterly and said more bluntly, "Mother, do you know how much Mr. Qin's paintings are worth?"

Qian Manman was still immersed in her father's leg injury, and didn't understand why the topic changed again. She said hesitantly, "I heard that your grandfather got it from the auction of several thousand taels of silver."

Yan Muxi asked again, "Mother, do you know how much the painting is worth now?"

Qian Manman puffed up her cheeks and shook her head, "I don't know, but what's the point of the painting's value? It's just a few thousand taels of silver. How can it be compared with your fourth brother's future?"

Before she could finish her words, Yan Muxi stood up and walked out, "My daughter is tired, mother should also rest early!"

Watching Yan Muxi and her servant disappear from sight, Qian Manman turned back to look at Mother Liu, "Is Sister Xi angry?"

Madam Liu sighed, "Don't think too much, Madam. The Second Miss must be tired after a busy day!"

Qian Manman suddenly realized, "Oh~, then quickly ask the kitchen to stew some nourishing soup, I will send it to Sister Xi later. By the way, mom, do you think the famous doctors in Luodu City are better than those in Jiangnan? I should ask my husband to find a famous doctor to treat my father..."

The atmosphere in the main courtyard was also very subtle at that time.

Father Yan didn't expect that after two years, the Su family would bring up the marriage again.

"…I, your husband, have absolutely no intention of looking down on Huachang. It is a great joy for both the Su and Yan families to be able to reunite with our families. However, Qingjie has been exceptionally intelligent since she was young, and as a father, I always want to find the best husband for her."

Su nodded, "I understand the master's good intentions, but men and women often have very different desires. Compared to marrying into a wealthy family, women would rather find a man who shares their feelings with them and spend their lives with them. Chang'er has grown up under our watch. He is a good boy with excellent character. If he and Qing'er are interested in each other, I want to help them!"

Father Yan frowned and thought for a moment, "Madam, have you asked Sister Qing what she thinks?"

"I asked her in the carriage, and she had no objection."

"Okay, since both children are willing, let's start discussing marriage after the Spring Examination!"

Su looked embarrassed, "Mother and sister-in-law want to finalize the marriage before the New Year."

Father Yan's brows knitted even tighter, "Isn't it too hasty? What if Chang Ge'er fails the exam? Wouldn't that be unfair to our Qing Jie'er?"

Su observed his expression and carefully chose her words, "With Chang'er's talent, he won't fail. Even if he does, he can take the exam again in three years. I heard from my sister-in-law that Chang'er has long been in love with Qing'er. If they can arrange a marriage early, he will be happy and will probably get a top score in the exam!"
