Chapter 14 Matchmaking
At lunchtime, Ye Qian cooked some fish soup for the fresh fish sent by Mo Chou, and she went to clean the internal organs and dried the remaining parts that she couldn't eat, and made his favorite dried fish for Chenghuang in the courtyard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ The info cannon dolphin is also carefully sliced into even small pieces and served on a plate, because Qingyin likes a light diet, Ye Qian made stir-fried lettuce and vegetarian celery mushrooms.
The food was placed on the lacquer table in a neat and orderly manner, and Ye Qian happily ran upstairs to greet Qingyin to eat. In order to prevent Cheng Huang, who was shining on the side of the lacquer table, from stealing food, she walked a few steps and then turned back, picked up Cheng Huang and took him upstairs with him.
"Master......" Ye Qian knocked lightly on the door, but no one answered her, so she pushed the door and entered. After entering the door, I saw Qingyin standing at the window with her back to her, not knowing what she was looking at intently. The handsome and upright back, the white clothes like snow are secretly embroidered with silver silk moire, and the wind lifts the hem of his clothes and green silk, as if the next moment the breezy and moon-like person will take advantage of the breeze outside the window to step on the white clouds and return.
"Shi ......" The words that she wanted to say were swallowed back alive, looking at the picture in front of her, Ye Qian only felt that her heart was clenched fiercely, and fear hit her like a flood of beasts. Qingyin's back was reflected in her bright eyes, and she suddenly felt scared for some reason, afraid that he would leave her. Cheng Huang was almost out of breath by Ye Qian's arm, fluttering his little short legs, and finally jumped from Ye Qian's arms to the ground, panting heavily, complaining: "Whew-hey!" Little leaf, you're going to murder! β
"Huh? Yes, I'm sorry! Seeing that Chenghuang was lying on the ground and looking a little uncomfortable, Ye Qiancai suddenly came back to his senses, a little embarrassed, and quickly restrained his emotions, and called sweetly: "Master, it's time to eat!" β
"Okay." Hearing Ye Qian call him, Qingyin turned around and frowned slightly, gradually stretched, smiled slightly, and said, "Let's go, go downstairs." As he spoke, he took the lead and walked downstairs. As soon as he heard that he was going to eat, Chenghuang immediately came to his senses, not to be left behind, and his round body rushed down the stairs with a rolling belt, and there would be a heavy 'dong dong' sound with every step. After a few moments, Chenghuang bumped past Qingyin and Ye Qian, ran to the front, and shouted loudly while running: "Fish soup - small dried fish - the god is here!" In the blink of an eye, Cheng Huang squatted leisurely on the edge of the lacquer table, raised his cat face, wagged his tail and waited for Qingyin and Ye Qian.
Looking at Cheng Huang's appearance, Ye Qian couldn't help but laugh, and Qingyin also smiled helplessly.
Ye Qian talked to Qingyin about the big and small things that happened in today's Yaqu while walking, including when he opened the door in the early morning, Dr. Jimo came and sat for more than an hour before leaving; The son of the potter family married his wife today, and the procession passed in front of Yaqu Gate, and the street was lively for a long time; And the game of chess where they were deadlocked a few days ago, she thought about what to do next......
Qingyin smiled slightly, patiently listened to Ye Qian's words, and echoed a few words from time to time. Ye Qian spoke with great interest, but he didn't feel trivial and boring.
"Master, don't worry about making a promise to someone, and the eldest mother asked her to send some pork and fresh fish."
Qingyin bowed slightly, "Mo Chou is a year younger than you." After thinking about it, he continued: "Shallow, you are not too young, it is time to get married." You don't have your parents and elders by your side, so Master will make decisions for you about marriage, find some matchmakers tomorrow and let them help you take a look, but if you don't like it, Master won't force you. β
Qingyin glanced sideways at Ye Qian, who was walking side by side with him, there was no trace on his face, but he was thinking a lot in his heart. Ye Qian has been taught by Wang Meng since she was a child, and Wang Yu will teach her to read and practice calligraphy in her spare time, and he has to teach her the art of piano and chess, and her knowledge is even stronger than that of some scholars. However, the world of male superiority and inferiority of women is broad-minded for women, but it is not easy to marry. In this way, those ordinary people Ye Qian must not have looked at it more, so what can make Ye Qianqing look at each other naturally has to be a gentleman with good virtue and cultivation.
Really......
As soon as Qingyin's words fell, Ye Qian replied decisively: "I won't marry!" β
Qingyin smiled helplessly, thinking that Ye Qianxu was embarrassed, Xu was making a childish temper with him, stretched out his beautiful and slender hand and touched her head like Ye Qian did when she was a child. Now that Ye Qian has grown taller, he is shoulder level with him, and he is no longer that little strong child. "What nonsense! When a woman grows up, she naturally wants to get married. β
Ye Qian stopped suddenly, tilted his head, his bright and clear eyes were faintly filled with tears, and looked at Qingyin, "Is Master leaving?" β
Qingyin was slightly stunned, Ye Qian was too sensitive and intelligent, he really planned to leave after settling her. When he was a child, he thought that she had forgotten the agreement a long time ago, but he didn't expect her to say it without asking it, but she clearly understood it in her heart. "Shallow, whether the master can leave or not is different from whether you marry or not."
"Master is my only relative in this world, can you not leave ......?"
Qingyin still patiently persuaded her: "If you get married in the future, your husband's family will also be your relatives." β
"I don't want to get married, I want to stay with Master forever."
Qingyin still didn't move her when she saw the good words and persuasion, frowned slightly, her face was a little serious and a little helpless, he had spoiled Ye Qian in the past ten years. "When you grow up, you can't be willful anymore." obviously wanted to reprimand her fiercely, but after all, she couldn't bear to give up. In the past, he only wanted to achieve his goals, and he was indifferent to everything and didn't care much, but now he starts to care about the people and things around him, and it will really become very hard and troublesome.
Chenghuang secretly took a sip of fish soup, sat on the side of the lacquer table and watched the lively state of mind, looking at Qingyin and Ye Qian, who were standing in a deadlock in the stairwell. In the bottom of my heart, I also cheered for Ye Qian, sure enough, it was the child he grew up with a yellow belt, and he dared to resist the old immortal, and the little leaf was good! After thinking about it, he was so happy that he wanted to roll, you are old and immortal, and you have today, so you really lifted a stone and shot yourself in the foot! I raised a girl like kraft candy, I can't get rid of it!
Seeing that Ye Qian lowered his head and didn't speak, Qingyin glanced at the lacquer table downstairs, he didn't need to eat like a mortal, but he had to adapt to her habits over the years in order not to make Ye Qian suspicious. The girl thought that it was a meal that had been busy for a long time to prepare, so why did he bother to tell her this before eating, and sighed softly, "Go eat first, as for ...... More on that later. β
Seeing that Qingyin's tone was relaxed and he no longer insisted, Ye Qian also understood that he should accept it when he saw it, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his smile, and automatically forgot about the unpleasant conversation just now. "The new tea I just picked, Master must try it!"
Qingyin smiled helplessly, "Okay." β
A few days later, Chenghuang clamored and said that he was going to pick lotus flowers outside the city, but Ye Qian couldn't resist him, so he agreed.
In the afternoon of that day, the sun was shining, the wind was light and the clouds were light, Ye Qian covered his face with a thin veil, explained the place with Qingyin, and went out of the city with Chenghuang.
After Ye Qian left, there were a few matchmakers in Yaqu, and Qingyin rarely came down from the second floor. Now it is not as good as three years ago, the life span of mortals is limited, time is fleeting, and Shaohua is fleeting, and Qingyin is really a little worried about Ye Qian's lifelong events.
Since Ye Qian and Chenghuang left, Qingyin has met several matchmakers, but there is no one among those who ask for relatives who he thinks is okay, if he insists on choosing a husband for Ye Qian in the city, it is not satisfactory for the youngest son of Dr. Jimo. Qingyin doesn't like these troublesome trivial things, and is even more disgusted with those bombastic matchmakers, so she has to deal with them patiently one by one.
"Sir, the relative I told my little sister is the second son of the Wang family in the north of the city, seventeen this year, the same age as our little sister." The mother-in-law who said that the matchmaker was bloated and fat, with folds on her face, and she wiped her face with a handkerchief while talking, and the rouge on her face was also smeared with sweat.
"Quite ...... age" Qingyin's slender and beautiful fingers tapped lightly on the lacquer case, and his voice was far away, Qingling sneered with a little arrogance and displeasure, "It's a pity that it's a lame!" β
said that the matchmaker was choked by Qingyin's words, but after all, the matchmaker has been clever for many years, "Yes...... There's such a small problem. But in today's troubled times, if you have this little problem, you don't have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and the little sister doesn't have to be afraid of being widowed in the future, right? And this Wang family, it's not the old body that boasts, the family has two acres of land, and the family is also well-off. If our little sister marries in the past, she will naturally not suffer. Sir, don't blame the old man for talking too much, although your business is good, but after all, it is not practical, there are still a few acres of land that is the right way to live, and our little sister is not young, isn't it? β
Qingyin tried his best to suppress his temper, if he wasn't worried that the matchmaker would have a small belly and chicken intestines, and chew the root of her tongue after going out, which would ruin Ye Qian's reputation, he would have beaten her out immediately. "The old man put down the name card first, and when Qianqian comes back, I will ask her what she means, and then reply to you."
"Oops!" said that the matchmaker slapped her thigh, raised her eyebrows and sneered: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can Mr. not be the master of our little sister?" β
What Qingyin hates most in his life is that others force him, especially the self-righteous people's agitation, saying that the matchmaker is going to touch his bottom line alive. Qingyin smiled coldly, his clear and gentle eyes were calm and waveless, but as if the ice was condensed, and he said without anger: "Please go back!" β
It was obviously a scorching hot summer day, but the matchmaker had a cold shiver for no reason, as if she was in the middle of a cold day. looked at Qingyin in a daze, a very ordinary face, no matter how you look at it, there is nothing special, but it makes her inexplicably frightened, staggering to her feet, and trotting out of the door of Yaqu. When she walked to the street, she woke up like a dream and stroked her chest, no, she received a large amount of money from the Wang family and came to the matchmaker to make a guarantee, but in the end, did it succeed or not? I wanted to go back to the fun and ask, but somehow I didn't have the courage to go back.
This year's lotus flowers are really blooming very well, Ye Qian entered the door of Yaqu with a smile in his hand with a few blooming pink lotus and a few flower buds, and Cheng Huang kept moving his little short legs, panting and following behind her. Ye Qian looked back at Chenghuang's laborious appearance, tore off the veil covering his face, and said with a smile: "Rhubarb, you have to eat less in the future, look at your round appearance!" β
"Hmphβthe gods will!"
"Okay, okay, you're willing." As soon as Ye Qian entered the door, he didn't expect to see Qingyin, and he didn't care about arguing with Chenghuang, so he hurriedly ran over and handed the flower in his hand to Qingyin like a treasure. "Master, Master, look, isn't it beautiful?"
Looking at Ye Qian's smile like a flower, Qingyin bowed slightly, "Hmm." β
"Rhubarb said that if you break off the buds and put them in the water, they will not bloom again? I don't believe it! After Ye Qian finished speaking, she happily went to find a clay pot to hold water and raise the lotus flowers she picked.
Looking at Ye Qian's busy figure back and forth, Qingyin sighed lightly, and some things still had to be said no matter how reluctant he was to say them, "Qianqian, come here, Master has something to say to you." β
"Oh." Ye Qian put the last bud into the clay pot, and happily ran to sit down obediently opposite Qingyin, looking obedient and listening, "Master, you say." β
The slender and beautiful fingers handed over a silk book name post, and his clear and gentle eyes looked at Ye Qian for a moment, and said: "This is the name of the youngest son of Dr. Jimo's family, you see, if there is no opinion, the master will ask someone to reply." β
Ye Qian looked at Qingyin's slender fingers, did not pick up the silk book in his hand, and the smile on his face gradually froze.
"Shallow?"
Ye Qian frowned, his fingers clenched into fists, "Master wants me to marry?" β
"Shallow, don't be willful."
"Wayward?" The fingertips are embedded in the palm of the hand, and it hurts, but it is not as painful as the pain in the heart. There were tears in his bright and clear eyes, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "The ten-year appointment is coming, is Master in a hurry to marry me off?" β
Qingyin sighed lightly, "I said that whether I leave or not has nothing to do with whether you marry or not." β
"Then can't I marry someone else?" Looking at Qingyin with pleading eyes, he discussed: "Even if Master wants to leave, I can take care of myself by myself, and I don't necessarily have to get married!" β
"Nonsense!"
"I don't want to, and I don't want to get married!" Ye Qian has a gentle temperament on weekdays and has never contradicted Qingyin, but today he is really in a hurry, and he is about to leave.
"Stop!" Does the world today allow her to make her own decisions? He has protected her for all these years, he has not let her suffer, he has seen setbacks, if he is gone, who can spare her from being disturbed, so that she will not have no branches to rely on?
Ye Qian stopped, but did not look back.
"Shallow, how long will you be willful!" Do you want him to let it go, and let her live alone for the rest of her life?
Ye Qian lowered his head and did not speak, nor did he turn back.
"You are still young and don't understand many things, so Master made this master for you." Qingyin threw the name card in his hand on the lacquer case, and sighed softly, "It doesn't matter if you complain about me now, whether you hate me." β
As soon as he heard Qingyin's strong tone and no longer discussed with her kind words, Ye Qian turned back suddenly, anxious and scared in his heart, and blurted out before he could think carefully: "If I knew that my life would be like this, I might as well die in the deep forest of the lonely mountain back then!" After finishing speaking, she regretted it a little, and looked at Qingyin's somewhat stunned expression in a daze, but the words she said were overwhelming.
"You ......" It doesn't matter if she doesn't understand his hard work, but he can say such a thing, can he teach such an ignorant child for many years? Qingyin was in a hurry, and he raised his hand to slap Ye Qian, but his hand was raised in mid-air and did not fall.
"Master, you want to beat me......" Ye Qian looked at Qingyin's raised hand, and finally couldn't hold back the tears he couldn't hold back, turned his head and ran out.
Qingyin looked at Ye Qian's back, and suddenly regretted it. Ye Qian was always cautious and sensible in front of him, as if he was afraid that she would be abandoned again. Under her flower-like smile, she actually has a sensitive and fragile heart, what is she afraid of, Qingyin also understands, but he really can't and shouldn't stay anymore, he has something he has to do.
Qingyin stroked his forehead and sighed, and at a glance, he saw the sleepy Chenghuang on the side, and with a flick of his sleeves, a silver light swept over, fortunately Chenghuang hid quickly, otherwise he would have to peel off the skin.
"Whew-I'm scared to death!" Cheng Huang glared at the cat's eyes, and said angrily: "Old immortal, you two quarrel, it's my business!" What are you mad at me! β
Qingyin didn't even look at Chenghuang, glanced out of the door, ignored it, turned around and went upstairs with his sleeves, and said coldly: "Don't chase it yet!"
In the empty lobby, only Cheng Huang was left, he stretched his waist and sighed deeply, "What kind of sin have I created!" Shaking the hair on his whole body, he cheered up and ran out after him, "Xiaoyezi, where are you going?" Wait for me-"
