Chapter Forty-Nine: Knowing is a dream, and I am sad
Although Ye Beibei didn't want to go in her heart, even if she lived for another fifty years, this person was still something she didn't dare to refuse, even if she looked at Jiang Yuezhou's face, she couldn't add any unhappiness to the already delicate relationship between herself and Jiang Yuezhou.
She walked downstairs, the noble and dazzling Rolls-Royce of the Jiang family's old mansion was already waiting for her, and when she came out, the driver in uniform and white gloves immediately greeted her and opened the door for her.
"The old lady was listening to the play in the garden and asked me to take Miss Ye over. After the driver started the car, he said to Ye Beibei.
The old lady of the Jiang family likes opera, just like the corrupt children of the Eight Banners in the past, she has a garden and a drama troupe, and when she has nothing to do, she invites her relatives and friends who can be seen here to listen to small songs.
This house is definitely built in antiquity, deep and quiet, with the eaves of the altar warped corners, the corridor curved back, and the pavilions by the water.
Ye Beibei was apprehensive and was led by the servant through the middle hall, along the corridor to the right wing, there is a carved lattice partition between the wing room and the hall, and a few famous singers with makeup sang on the platform in the center of the hall: "In the middle of the night last night, I dreamed clearly on the pillow, when I talked a lot, I still had a peach face, and I frequently lowered my willow eyebrows, half ashamed and half happy, and I wanted to go and cling." Consciousness is a dream, and it is sad. ”
She didn't know drama before, but then she listened to the old lady a lot, and she knew a little more, listening to Wei Zhuang's "Female Crown" singing on stage, this poem wrote a pair of lovers who met in a dream after parting.
Ye Beibei listened to the last sentence, felt a pang in his heart, and couldn't help but stumble under his feet.
The old lady was sitting on the pear blossom wood chair in the wing, beating with the singing on the stage, when she saw Ye Beibei walking in, her expression was slightly strange for a moment, and her face turned calm as usual, just looking at Ye Beibei's always strict eyes, it looked a little milder at this time.
After two years, Ye Beibei in front of her is different from the past, Ye Beibei in the past was always timid in front of her, looking weak and delicate, and now Ye Beibei has lost a lot of weight, Chu Chu is pitiful with encouraging strength, as if she is a child who has just been bullied, there is a hidden grievance and stubbornness in her eyes, but she is vaguely floating with the color of confidence, no wonder her stupid grandson is fascinated by her again, desperate.
The old lady has been shrewd all her life, she can see at a glance that Ye Beibei is now in love with Jiang Yuezhou but pretending not to know, deep and cold, wanting to refuse and welcome, she feels that Ye Beibei is really a master of the master in pretending to be pitiful, but there is no way, her grandson eats this set, and she has to reluctantly accept her.
Ye Beibei looked at the old lady who was still in good spirits and her face was still properly protected, and greeted her with a smile: "Hello Mrs. Jiang!"
"What's the matter, even grandma won't scream!" Old Lady Jiang's eyes narrowed, and she smiled, and said harsh words in an unhurried voice.
Ye Beibei is used to listening to the old lady's cold words, she knows that she should nod more and talk less to the old lady, because usually a rebuttal will attract her ten sentences of condemnation, she is silent, but the taste in her heart is not good, what position does she have to call her grandma!
"Sit down!" The old lady pointed to the pear blossom wooden chair opposite her, and a maid immediately came in to serve tea outside, the old lady first picked up her tea bowl and took a sip, and then raised her hand to Ye Beibei and said, "Qingqian Longjing, taste it." ”
Ye Beibei tasted it according to the old rules of the past, she didn't study drinking tea, what good tea to her is a cow chewing peony, she knew that the old lady had something to say to her, put the tea bowl back and sat down with her hands folded on her knees, and maintained a decent smile on her face.
The old lady looked at Ye Beibei's appearance, nodded, and said unhurriedly: "It is said that the eighteenth change of the female college has not been seen for two years, and your ups and downs are becoming more and more intriguing." ”
Ye Beibei received too little praise from the old lady, so that the old lady would be flattered if the old lady was a little kind to her, and she didn't know what to say when she listened to the old lady's words.
Fortunately, the old lady didn't seem to want her to answer, took a sip of tea, put the tea bowl and continued: "Yue Zhou, this child, looks like a human spirit, in fact, he is also a fool, since your divorce, you have done countless crazy things, fortunately, when you come back, you can finally save him from the sea of suffering!"
Ye Beibei was deeply surprised by what the old lady said, just like in the past, the old lady would never say such a suspicious thing to show weakness, thinking about her contact with Jiang Yuezhou in the recent past, all kinds of feelings welled up in her heart.
"Beibei, it is not easy for you and Yue Zhou to get to this point today, I know that Yue Zhou was very sorry for some things in the past, but he himself already knew that he was wrong, and he also repented, you are still young, you just let it go, give others a chance, but also give yourself a chance, find a day, you will remarry!" The old lady's tone was not as distant and cold as in the past, not with feelings, and her words were a little embarrassed, which was very convincing.
The servants on the stage don't know when they quit, the next group hasn't come up yet, the room is quiet, the air seems to be a little frozen for a while, Ye Beibei's heart is agitated, remarried, and Jiang Yuezhou live together again, she doesn't seem to be rejecting this statement in her heart, she heard her own voice, and asked: "This, is this what Yuezhou means?"
"Silly boy, I'm sitting here with you today, and what I mean is naturally what Yue Zhou means. The old lady smiled very happily, as if she was very satisfied with Ye Beibei's performance, she took another sip of tea, and said: "Beibei, grandma knows that you are a good child and a smart child, we all know that if you and Yue Zhou remarry, there are some things that we are destined to be unable to bypass, so it is better for us to talk frankly today." ”
Ye Beibei was slightly stunned, and the little joy she had was washed away by the old lady's obvious turning words.
"You already know what kind of family the Jiang family is, Yue Zhou loves you, there is no doubt about it, but in a big family, interests, money, and intertwined relationships are many, and love always has to be placed behind these. The rise and fall of a family's honor and disgrace is very important to the hostess, in order to avoid gossip from hurting Yue Zhou and you, and in order for you to be able to establish enough prestige and place as the mistress of the family in the future, our Jiang family will arrange for your current two children to live abroad. ”
"What?" Ye Beibei's heart twitched, and he exclaimed in surprise.
