Chapter Seventy-Four: Rejoicing
Since arguing with her mother that day, Mrs. Yang has never mentioned this matter again, and Yang Xi has behaved no different from usual, but both mother and son know that this apparent harmony has a rift in the end, which is different from the past.
Despite his mother's strong opposition, he had no intention of giving up, so he wrote a letter to his father stating his thoughts. He didn't know what the outcome would be, it could be a cause for his father to be furious and disappointed in his rebellious behavior, or it could be a miracle.
During this time, in order to be able to face his mother as little as possible, Yang Xi always went out very early and came back late, either looking for more things, under the pretext of staying in the Hanlin Academy, or getting together with a group of friends and colleagues.
Yang Xi didn't know how he spent the days waiting for his father's letter, anxious, apprehensive, fearful, and expecting all kinds of different moods were intertwined, making him almost unable to bear the pressure.
Mrs. Yang saw it in her eyes, and she was also secretly worried about Yang Xi, and she regretted that her attitude was too tough that day, but she was unwilling to compromise. She also knew that Yang Xi had sent a letter to her father and did not send anyone to stop her, maybe both mother and son needed an excuse.
Finally, one day, Lord Yang's reply arrived, and Mrs. Yang, who had read the letter, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time was deeply disappointed. The reason for the relief is that the son is happy to see such a result, and the relationship between mother and son will return to the past;
When Yang Xi came back, it was already late, and he went to his mother's yard to ask for peace, only to find that his mother was not ready to go to bed as usual, but was sitting there waiting for him.
"Did you write a letter to your father?" Mrs. Yang asked, Yang Xi was stunned for a moment, her heart was beating faster, and she didn't know what her mother had discovered.
"It's not a small courage to complain to your father secretly, is there still me as a mother in my eyes?"
"Mother, Son......"
"Needless to say, see for yourself. Mrs. Yang handed him a letter and said stiffly.
Yang Xi saw the familiar handwriting on the envelope, and was a little afraid of the result inside, and when he took the letter, his hand trembled slightly. Mrs. Yang was amused when she saw her son's appearance, but her face was still flat.
When Yang Xi finally took out the letter and read it carefully, he still didn't believe his eyes, and felt like a dream, so he carefully read the word "kiss" written by his father, and then felt a joy spread out in his chest.
Mrs. Yang looked at her son's stupid appearance, and was a little angry, it seemed that marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting her mother was just around the corner.
"Are you happy this time?"
"Mother, it's true. ”
"I hope it's fake. ”
"Mother, when are you going to Zhang's Mansion?"
"I've never seen you so anxious, this has to be considered in the long run, and you have to find a matchmaker or something, how can you go in such a hurry. ”
"Yes, it's my son......"
"I'm so excited, huh?" Yang Xi nodded again and again, and Mrs. Yang, who was used to seeing her son's old and steady appearance, shook her head helplessly.
On this day, King Fu invited a friend to charter a painting boat to tour the lake, and Yang Xi was naturally among them. There are indispensable wine and beautiful women on the boat, because today we invited a famous prostitute in the capital, that is, the legendary Liluo girl who is good with Li Yi, everyone is making fun of Li Yi, and Li Yi doesn't care. Yang Xi had something in his heart, and he was a little depressed when he saw the commotion here, so he left the house and went to the top deck, thinking that he would never come again on such an occasion in the future.
The cool breeze on the deck, looking at the turquoise water of the lake and the weeping willows on the shore, is refreshing. Just then I heard a voice:
"Brother Yang, is you alone here?" Yang Xi turned his head and saw that it was Li Yi standing at the top of the stairs, holding a wine jug and two cups in his hand.
"Zifei, why did you come up?" Yang Xi felt that Li Yi and that Liluo were nothing at all, because he felt that it was impossible to fall in love with that kind of girl with Li Yi's eyes. As for the legend in everyone's mouth, it was only caused by his laziness to explain.
"Come, drink. Li Yi didn't answer, but walked to a table next to him and sat down, and Yang Xi followed.
"Why didn't Brother Yang drink down there and ran up alone, could it be that he had something on his mind?"
"No, it's just that there are a lot of people down there, and it's a little stuffy, and it's up to breathe. What about you?"
"It's the same thing. Speaking of which, the younger brother also had to apologize to Brother Yang, and left Brother Yang alone in Huguo Temple that day. Li Yi said.
"You and my brother, that's the use, not to mention that you are in a hurry. ”
"Brother Yang seems to be very familiar with Gongzi Zhang that day?" Li Yi asked again.
"Brother Zhang and I had one of my classmates when I was in Shandong, and Mr. Zhang was a fellow acquaintance at the time, and he had a comradeship with my father. The two families also have a lot of contacts, so they are familiar with each other. ”
"I see, then how can they be in the capital, could it be to visit relatives?" Li Yi thought for a while and asked:
"That's not it, they were originally from the capital, and this time Lord Zhang was transferred to the Ministry of Works, so he moved his family to Beijing. ”
"Oh, I see. ”
"I didn't expect Zifei to be interested in them. Yang Xi said casually, but the listener had a heart, but Li Yi's face was a little unnatural, and he was secretly glad that Yang Xi didn't pay attention to him. Because he really wanted to ask Yang Xi about that girl's news today.
"It's just that that day I saw that the two sisters and brothers behaved and talked extraordinarily, so I asked this question. ”
"Yes, and that Miss Zhang is superb, very extraordinary. When Li Yi heard this, his heart tightened, he was so close, and he had heard her play the piano. Yang Xi looked at Li Yi with some shock, and also regretted a little, a man with a foreign surname had heard the sound of Miss Boudoir's piano, which was detrimental to Saitama's reputation, so he added:
It was also by chance that in Brother Zhang's study, I happened to meet them taking piano lessons. This explanation made Li Yi also let go of his heart, he played two haha, and decided not to mention this topic again. Unexpectedly, Yang Xi said:
"Thanks to Zifei for saving Miss Zhang that day, otherwise, she would be a very poor girl. This sentence suddenly attracted Li Yi's attention, he looked at Yang Xi a little strangely, in his opinion, the girl was generous, and she looked gentle and amiable, how could she be pitiful.
"Miss Zhang's mother has passed away a long time ago, and now she is her stepmother, which should not be easy these years. When Li Yi heard this, he felt a little sympathetic, his father died early, and he was attached to his uncle's life, and he felt the same way of living under the fence and being cautious.
When he returned to the mansion in the evening, Li Yi went to visit his mother as usual, and Shi said as soon as he saw Li Yi:
"Why did you come back so late, my mother has something to tell you. ”
"What's the matter, so anxious?"
"You may not like to hear it, but this time it is your uncle's father, and it may be difficult to shirk it. ”
But the mother said it was fine. ”
"That's right, your aunt told you about a family affair. After hearing this, Li Yi's face was wrong, and Shi sighed and said:
"Speaking of which, you're getting older, and it's time to get married. But your mother knows your thoughts, and she doesn't want your aunt to say it, but this time my mother thinks this girl should be good, otherwise your uncle won't come to it himself. ”
"Mother, it's better to refuse!" Li Yi interrupted his mother's words.
