Chapter 226 Home Campaign
Chrysanthemum Garden, Hall.
Baixuan and Yan Rouer have arrived. This is the first time he has attended such an important occasion with his husband. Naturally, he is very proud.
The second lady looked at Baixuan coming back with Yan Rouer, and it seemed that they were ready.
Who knows what kind of backer is behind this Baixuan?
Yan Rouer could see that the faces of Yan Mingde and the second lady changed slightly, so she came forward with a smile and explained, "The marquis felt that this election as the head mother was a big thing, so he came back with me."
Baixuan nodded slightly. Isn't it obvious that the aura is coming?
Yan Rouer said it well before, but after kicking Yan Ji away, the real fox's tail was also exposed.
But no matter what, who can be the head of the banquet house and who is the real winner, Yanji will not come back. A Yan Rouer, even if she is now the marquis's wife, is a concubine's daughter. How can it be important to him, his own son?
Yan Mingde looked around and pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, by the way, why didn't this Yan Ji come?"
Yan Mingyuan and the eldest lady are still sitting and silent. Yan Mingyuan knows it, and the eldest lady is godless and doesn't know how to answer.
After observing from the side door for a while, Cailian turned back and went back to the inner room.
The old lady is holding Buddha beads and is closing her eyes to refresh her mind.
"Madam," Cailian said in his ear. Miss Yan Ji still did not appear, and there was no movement in the Chang'an Palace. Yan Rouer came with the marquis Baixuan, and the eldest master and the second master were already waiting in the hall.
The old lady nodded slightly and opened her eyes. She really didn't expect that Yan Ji hadn't come back yet, and even the Chang'an Palace did not move. Didn't Zhan Lengze know the importance of being the mother-in-law?
Whether Yan Ji comes back or not, Zhan Lengze will not watch the mother's seat be taken away by others.
"Wait a little longer, the show is about to begin."
Picking lotus nodded and gently retreated to one side.
As time went by, the people in the living room were obviously a little impatient.
Yan Shuanger muttered twice in front of her mother. What's going on? After such a long time, why hasn't there been any movement at all? What on earth is grandma doing?
The second lady winking and shook her head slightly.
Yan Mingde couldn't figure out what her mother wanted to do. Yan Ji was kidnapped. She should have known about this early. Besides, isn't it more beneficial for her to have fewer people to participate in the election?
Even Yan Rouer can't figure out what's going on and what the old lady is waiting for.
Another half hour has passed.
Cailian folded back into the inner room again and said, "Madam, it's about to blow up outside."
The old lady sighed and said, "This Yanji, it's not that my old lady doesn't show mercy to you, but that you don't leave a way for yourself. Don't wait, go out."
Just when everyone couldn't stand it at all, the old lady came out on crutches.
"Old lady," Bai Xuan took the initiative to say hello.
The old lady nodded slightly: "Master, come here. Our banquet house is full of glory."
Baixuan replied with a smile, "Old lady, we are all a family, and I just came back with Rou'er to watch the fun."
Yan Mingde attentively came forward to support the old lady: "Mother, are you uncomfortable today?"
"No, I just had a little headache. After a while, I made you wait a little longer."
"No, no, the most important thing is your body, old lady." Yan Rouer said with a smile.
"Oil," the old lady sat down. "Sit down."
The crowd sat down, the atmosphere was very tense, and the state of confrontation was self-evident.
"Today," the old lady glanced at the people in the hall and said, "I want you to come today. As long as you want to discuss who should pass the position of the family in this banquet house to, Rouer and Mingde, they have their own advantages. I think everyone is very clear about this."
Yan Rouer looked at Baixuan. This was the first time she was introduced so decently by the old lady.
Yan Mingde glanced at Yan Rouer, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Mrs. Marquis, let's see how she became.
"Originally," the old lady continued, "Yan Ji, the eldest lady of our banquet, is also going to run for the election, but what she suddenly was kidnapped and there has been no news so far, so today can only be chosen from the two of you."
"As for how to choose," the old lady looked at the people on both sides and said, "Mingde, let's follow the method of you and Yan Ji last time."
"I have a question. This topic must be about our banquet house. Who has a better method, then who will be the head of the banquet house in the future."
Yan Rouer had long expected that the old lady would use this trick, which sounded very fair, but it was really hard to say whether she told Yan Mingde or not.
Yan Mingde raised his hands in favor: "Mother, don't worry, your son will definitely do what you want."
Yan Rouer questioned that he had to remove problems that were not conducive to his competition at the beginning. In case Mrs. La and Yan Mingde had already discussed it, then he would have really abandoned his previous achievements.
If you don't become the mother of the family, not only the prince is disappointed, but also the fourth prince Luan Haochen is not easy to explain.
"I don't agree," Yan Rouer stood up and said.
This disagreement caused a lot of **. Yan Mingde sneered at the girl standing in front of him and didn't know the depth of heaven and earth.
"Rouer, this is the banquet house. Even if you are from the marquis's mansion, don't forget where this is. This is the banquet house. The old lady is the head of the banquet house. What kind of method do you want to choose the family? That's her power, understand?"
"I understand," Yan Rouer said with a smile, "Grandma, you are not fair to me. The second uncle is familiar with it, and I'm a no-hand man."
At this time, the second lady interrupted: "In fact, there is no need to compare at all. Our master is the direct descendant, and if we want to choose the family, we can only be our master."
Yan Rouer sneered and said, "Yes, Er Niang, you are right. I admit that my identity is a commoner, but you should know that the old lady, now that I have married the marquis's mansion and become a veritable marquis's wife, I shouldn't look at people with old eyes anymore."
"Really, isn't your marquis' wife also a substitute?
"Second lady," Bai Xuan really listened and stood up and said, "Are you a little rude to my marquis?"
The second lady covered her mouth and dared not say anything more.
"Ok," the old lady opened her eyes and said, "the authorities are fascinated and the onlookers are clear. What to do about this matter should be decided by me, isn't it?"
"Mingyuan," the old lady suddenly looked up at him and said, "Am I right?"
Yan Mingyuan quickly stood up and replied, "My mother is very right."
"Then there is nothing to say. Whether you have experienced it or not, since you are here to grab this position, you must follow my old lady's. If you dare not, then just quit. Do you have any other opinions?"
What else can you say? Now the old lady has understood what she has said.
"A thousand mu of land outside the city used to be a good land, but I don't know if it was after a great drought ten years ago, the harvest got worse and worse, so that there is no grain harvest now. There is no way to cultivate it, so it can only be abandoned there, so you can talk about what to do about this matter."
Yan Mingde was dumbfounded. What's going on? At first, his mother agreed that it was not 500 mu of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River. Why did it suddenly become like this?
Even Yan Rouer frowned. Since it has been abandoned for so long, what value can it be dealt with?
The old lady looked at the expressions of the two people and said, "If anyone can provide a good solution, then the seat of the host of the banquet is his."
After thinking bitterly for a long time, Yan Rouer said, "Madam, why don't we give these lands to landless farmers? This is also a good thing for us."
"Good deeds," the old lady shook her head and said, "Even if you do good deeds, you can't do good deeds with a barren apprentice. Your method doesn't work."
Yan Mingde has nothing to say, because he really can't think of a good way.
"Mother, I feel that this land has no value at all, so I can only put it there."
"Think about it, this is about the seat of the head of the banquet house. If anyone thinks of it, he can sit in the seat I have done so far. Don't you want it?"
"Who doesn't want to," Yan Shuanger said, "but there is no way to answer this question at all?"
After a while, the two had not come up with an answer that satisfied the old lady.
The old lady smiled and said, "I thought Yan Ji had chosen one for you two, but I didn't expect that you two would disappoint me so much."
Bai Xuan stood up at this time and said, "Old lady, in fact, what you just said is unreasonable. At least she still proposed a solution."
The old lady nodded: "What the marquis said makes sense, but what I want to tell you is that although Mingde did not propose a way, it is always better than taking the barren land to give it to the poor and finally ruin the reputation of our banquet house. You really destroyed the reputation of our banquet house."
So in this competition, who will win and who will lose?
The old lady looked at them and said, "Yan Mingde's helpless is a way. It is a waste of land, so there is no value for giving up at all. If it is necessary to say that today's game is determined to win or lose, then it should be the second master Yan Mingde."
It turned out that the old lady's most important chess pieces came here.
It's too late for Yan Rouer to refute.
"I don't think so, old lady."
When everyone thought it was a forgone conclusion, Yan Ji's voice suddenly came over.
