Chu Wei held the umbrella as usual, Yan Mingyu walked on the side, the two didn't say much, the atmosphere was just right, and they walked silently.

After a while, it was time for Yan Makeup.

"There are very few people on the streets today." Yan Mingyu turned his head and said.

Chu Wei said: "The reason for the snow. ”

Yan Mingyu nodded and said, "Will you come in and sit for a while?" ”

"Next time."

"Okay." Yan Mingyu smiled: "Take the umbrella, I'll go in first." ”

"Hmm."

Yan Mingyu turned around, and Chu Wei shouted: "Mingyu." ”

Yan Mingyu turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"This year, let's celebrate the New Year together, okay?" Chu Wei looked at her with a sincere gaze.

Yan Mingyu bowed his head slightly and said, "Next year, we will celebrate the New Year together next year." ”

Will we celebrate the New Year together next year?

Chu Wei instantly understood the meaning behind this sentence, he took a big step forward, held Yan Mingyu's hand, and asked, "What do you mean......"

Yan Mingyu nodded.

Chu Wei's mind seemed to have fireworks exploding, he couldn't help but hug Yan Mingyu, but the occasion was not suitable, he suppressed the joy in his heart and said, "Okay, good." This time's "good" is completely different from the previous "good", he said: "After the year, I will ask the imperial brother for an order." ”

"Hmm."

As soon as the two finished speaking, Green Leaf came out of Yan Makeup and said, "Sister Mingyu, are you back, have you eaten?" Turning his head and seeing Chu Wei hurriedly saluting, Chu Wei waved his hand, and then looked at Yan Mingyu: "I'm leaving." ”

"Hmm."

Soon, it was the end of the year.

The female worker of Yan Makeup went home early for the New Year, Yan Ziqi's home was in the frontier, he went home earlier than the female worker, and Yan Mingyu and Luye went to Yan Mingbao in the countryside for the New Year, and they were full of enthusiasm and laughter throughout the year.

Yan Mingbao and his wife were warm and simple, and they always thought that Yan Mingyu was working for Yanziqi, but when they saw that Yan Mingyu brought back so much silver, Mrs. Yan was startled and didn't dare to accept it. Yan Mingyu said it badly, so she dared to put it away and say that she was waiting for Mingyu to be one year older and said that her mother-in-law's family, these are dowries.

Yan Mingbao is stupid and can't speak, he will only let Yan Mingyu eat.

Yan Le is now more than four years old, it is the time to have fun, it may be the reason why Yan Mingbao and his wife are reluctant to eat and wear, Yan Le is not fat, but eccentric, he likes Yan Mingyu's little aunt very much, Yan Mingyu bought him a lot of toys that children like in the old Zhou early, he was very happy, stuck to Yan Mingyu, let Yan Mingyu hug, and refused to leave.

During the entire Chinese New Year, he was closest to Yan Mingyu.

Yan Mingyu also likes children, and before leaving, he gave Yan Mingbao and his wife a sum of silver, and asked them to send Yan Le to the school to learn more knowledge. and told the two that she could earn a lot of silver now, and she didn't have to be reluctant to spend it, and she would often send the silver back in the future. provoked Yan Mingbao and his wife to tears, and only said that Yan Mingyu was bitter.

On the way back after the New Year, Luye said: "Brother Mingbao, sister-in-law Mingbao is really good." ”

Yan Mingyu smiled, it's very good, okay, she is a little reluctant to leave that warm little home. However, now it's time for swallow makeup.

As soon as the two got out of the carriage, they felt that the street was lively, lively and strange at the same time.

Yan Mingyu and Luye looked around left and right, only to feel that someone was pointing behind them, but they didn't know why.

"Sister Mingyu, what are they muttering?" Green Leaf asked puzzled.

Yan Mingyu turned his head, and those people shrank their heads in fear, and quickly ran away, as if they were afraid of being involved in some crime, which made Yan Mingyu even more confused. She just saw an aunt pointing at her and saying, "It's her, it's her." ”

What's her? At this moment, Yan Mingyu stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, just now you said that it is me, what is it?" ”

The aunt's face suddenly turned ugly, as if she was frightened, and hurriedly said: "I, I, I don't know anything, I don't know anything!" Then he ran away like he was running for his life.

"Run for what? Will it eat you? Green Leaf said unhappily.

Yan Mingyu noticed something unusual, but she and Luye were the first to come to Yan Makeup, so there was no way to ask.

"Sister Mingyu, what's going on?" Green Leaf asked, "Why do you see that we are all different from before?" "I used to think that Sister Mingyu was good-looking, but now I seem to be disgusted, despised and afraid.

"Let's talk about it in the courtyard first." Yan Mingyu said.

"Hmm."

Yan Mingyu entered Yan Makeup, and after going straight to the courtyard, he didn't start cleaning, but changed his clothes and went out from the back door, and went to the restaurant. As soon as she got out of the car, she was eye-catching, and the teahouse and restaurant must have gathered a lot of people to talk. This is indeed the case.

Yan Mingyu and Luye asked for a few dishes and a pot of wine, and ate quietly, and listened to a few conversations next to each other.

"Eh, do you know a big deal?"

"You mean General Chu's marriage?"

"You know that, too?"

"Who doesn't know?!"

Green Leaf looked at Yan Mingyu, Yan Mingyu put his finger on his lips and made a "shhh

"I know everything, but I don't know what happened?"

"Ask me, I know best, my uncle's daughter-in-law's cousin is on an errand in Wang's mansion, and he knows this matter best." The man sold enough.

"Say it quickly, tell me what's going on."

The man took a sip of wine, and then said, "A few days ago, General Chu asked the emperor for an order, saying that he wanted to marry the girl Yan Xiangyu. ”

"Jade girl? Yan makeup jade girl? How can she be worthy of General Chu! ”

"Yes, it's the girl Yan Xiangyu, she just doesn't deserve General Chu, the emperor doesn't think she's worthy, and the ministers don't think she's worthy, let's be a dignified General Zhou, how can we marry such a woman who shows her head, isn't this the identity of General Chu!"

"Yes."

"I definitely can't marry you!"

Others chimed in.

Lu Ye was angry in his heart, especially to go forward and reason, why is Sister Mingyu not worthy of General Chu! But he was held down by Yan Mingyu.

The words of the man were colorful, and after a while, many guests gathered together, and you and I discussed them one by one.

"Actually, the jade girl is not so bad, she is quite capable, although she is a beauty artist, her status is not bad, and she is a good citizen, and Da Zhou is not without a person with a high status who has married a folk girl."

"yes, that's right."

"And the jade girl is very good-looking."

"I don't show much of it."

The man seemed to have expected that the spectators would be like this, so he said with a smug face: "There is a secret in this, you must not know, right?" ”

"What?"

"Say it, say it."

"Don't sell it, I'll invite you to drink after that."

The man pointed and said, "You said it! You will pay for this pot of wine. ”

"Okay, okay, you can say it quickly, General Chu is a big hero in my mind, and I am very concerned about his affairs."

When the man got the right words, he said, "Do you remember the time before, when the mother of the Cheng Mansion apologized to Miss Yu?" ”

"Remember, remember."

"You must all know that the mother of the steward of Cheng Mansion mistook the Miaoqing girl next to the jade girl for a maid, but you don't know that it was actually the jade girl who used to be the maid of Cheng Mansion!" The man said in a low voice.

Everyone was surprised: "The jade girl used to be the maid of the Cheng Mansion?" ”

"That's not it!"

"How do you know?"

"Lord Wang of Wangfu strongly opposes the general's marriage in the treasure hall, and tells the identity of the jade girl in public!" The man said righteously: "You must know that the daughter of the Wang Mansion is Mrs. Cheng, the mother of the head of the Cheng Mansion, and his words can still be false!" ”

The crowd gasped.

Green Ye gritted his teeth angrily and turned his head to look at Yan Mingyu, Yan Mingyu's face had always been calm, but at this time, his face changed because of these gossips, and his eyes were slightly distracted.

"Sister Mingyu." Green Leaf shouted quietly.

Yan Mingyu said: "Miaoqing, don't speak, listen to them." ”

"Sister Mingyu, let's stop listening."

"Listen." Yan Mingyu's voice was stiff.

Green Leaf didn't dare to speak again.

More and more people gathered in the neighborhood, gossiping and discussing, but it was still the man who was dominant.

The man said again: "Can you tell General Chu that he can marry a maid?" She is not qualified to be a room for General Chu! ”

Green Yeqi's face turned red.

"But the Jade Girl should be out of the country, right?"

"It should be out of the country, otherwise how could you start Yan makeup?"

The man shook his head: "You ordinary people, how can you know the affairs of the various mansions? ”

"What's the matter?"

"Naturally, it's a matter of the maid and the young master!"

Hearing this, Yan Mingyu only felt a tightness in his heart.

Then the man said, "The poor people are willing to send their daughters to the house, in addition to those forced by life, there are also those who are willing to send them in." A big family like Cheng Mansion and Wang Mansion, a favored maid, that day was only a little worse than the young lady, and everyone wanted to climb up to the old man and young master in the house, once they climbed and gave birth to a son, it was not an aunt, and after that, it was fragrant and spicy, but it was much better than marrying a farmer! And once the maid is good-looking, after the master and the young master take a fancy to it, you can talk about it...... Right! Yes. The man's last sentence was extremely ambiguous, and the men naturally understood.

Green leaves don't understand yet.

Yan Mingyu was silent, just listening to what else they could arrange.

"I see."

With a "snap", someone suddenly slapped the table angrily and said: "This is even less worthy of General Chu, I resolutely oppose it!" ”

"I'm against it too!"

"I don't agree either!"

“……”

"Good, good." The man persuaded: "So, at that time, the same situation was on the treasure hall. After Lord Wang of Wangfu said the identity of the jade girl, he also mentioned the section of Master Cheng and the jade girl, although Lord Cheng tried his best to clarify, but some people in the palace said that he had seen Master Cheng and the jade girl tryst in Tianxiang Building. ”

Yan Yuyu clasped her hands tightly.

"Tryst?"

"Yes." The man said: "So, all the adults above the treasure hall unanimously oppose General Chu marrying the jade girl. Who is General Chu? He is a big hero of the Great Zhou, how can he casually marry a lowly woman, if she is a people's girl, it's fine, but it's a maid, or a ...... Crippled maid! ”

"Hu ......" Lu Ye got up angrily, Yan Mingyu covered her mouth and pressed her to the seat.

"It's just that you can't marry."

"You can't marry."

"But, what did General Chu say? Did he agree not to marry? ”

Hearing this, Yan Mingyu's heart was shocked, and her body immediately tensed, she was suddenly afraid that the person would answer this question, but she especially wanted to know the person's answer. She remembered many things with Chu Wei.

She remembered that when she was a maid, she met him again and again, short and different, and at this moment she remembered it clearly.

She remembered the words he had confessed to her.

She remembered that he accompanied her to Hanzhou, taught her to ride a horse, and escorted her back.

She remembered that in Yong'an Palace, he protected every word.

She remembered how he cooked dumplings and ate dumplings...... So much, she remembered it unconsciously. Therefore, at this moment, she cares about his answer very much, wants him to stand up to everyone's words on her side, and can't bear him to be hurt by public opinion.

When she was entangled, the man said: "General Chu said that if he marries, he will only marry her." Otherwise, he will not marry for the rest of his life. ”

Yan Mingyu was shocked.

Green Leaf was also stunned.

The other guests were also stunned for a moment, and then shook their heads and said, "That's ridiculous! ”

"Red face and troubled water, red face and bad water!"

"General Chu...... Alas, how could he be mixed by a woman. It's not worth it. ”

"That's it!"

"This jade girl is really harmful, harmful!"

"Anyway, I'd rather General Chu never marry for the rest of his life, than let him marry the jade girl, the jade girl may be better off with Master Cheng, why let General Chu pick up broken shoes."

"That's right."

“……”

Then the man said, "So! General Chu confronted the ministers of the court, although General Chu did not speak, although the adults were talking, but that scene, the emperor was also difficult to do, so he didn't even make a conclusion, and withdrew from the court. It is said that this matter should be considered in the long run. ”

"What are the plans, you must not marry a jade girl."

"That's it!"

"You can't marry."

"What's wrong with General Chu? Is there no woman in the world? ”

"General Chu, can't you see that this jade girl is not a good woman?"

"General Chu......"

“……”

When Yan Mingyu pulled the green leaves and left, he could still hear all kinds of disrespectful words to Chu Wei in the restaurant. The Great Zhou Dynasty was a relatively open dynasty, and it would not be arrested and imprisoned for not too much discussion after dinner. So as long as no one says too much, these people can keep discussing it.

And Yan Mingyu didn't have the heart to listen to it anymore.

"Sister Mingyu." Midoriba shouted worriedly.

Yan Mingyu looked at her and smiled: "What's the matter?" ”

"Don't take what those people said to heart, they are full and have nothing to do, so they are talking nonsense there. General Chu said that if you don't marry, you will definitely marry. Green Leaf explained.

Yan Mingyu smiled again, but there was no smile in his eyes, and nodded: "Hmm." No wonder there were many pedestrians on the road pointing at her, disgusted and afraid of her appearance. What disgusted her was that she still wanted to marry General Chu with such a low status, and what she was afraid of was that if she really became a princess, pinching them to death would be like pinching an ant to death.

"Have you heard that too? The jade girl turned out to be a maid! ”

"At the beginning, there were still miracle doctors, frontier people, and government daughters, it turned out to be a maid."

"She seems to have a leg with Young Master Chengfu."

"It's a shame, tsk, a maid is a maid, and her behavior is inappropriate."

“……”

At this time, there was a conversation between two women at the mouth of the alley, which happened to float into the ears of Yan Mingyu and Lu Ye, and Lu Ye immediately stepped forward and said fiercely: "What's wrong with the maid?" Do you dare to say that if you are dressed in such tatters, your relatives have not been maids? ”

The two women were stunned by Green Leaf's scolding, looked at Green Leaf in surprise and said, "Are you sick?" ”

Green Leaf scolded angrily: "You are sick, I see that you have hair on your mouth, you are too idle!" ”

"Who do you say, who do you say?" The two women were unwilling, and when they saw a yellow-haired thin girl, they dared to choke with them for no reason, and immediately wanted to teach them a lesson.

"Say you, say you, say you!" Green Leaf pointed and said: "The people in my own family can't control it, they talk nonsense behind their backs, be careful of rotten mouths!" ”

"You damn girl!" The two women were so angry that they raised their hands to beat the green leaves.

When the green leaf is really impulsive, he is not afraid at all, grabbing the woman's arm and biting it, the two women are tall and fat is not soft stubble, and immediately pulled the green leaf's hair, and the green leaf screamed in pain. Yan Mingyu reacted at this time, and when she turned her head to look, she saw that the two women were pulling the green leaf hair, and they were scolding and scolding in their mouths, she was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward, not to tear the three people apart, but to give the two women, one person and one golden needle, and the two women were immediately numb and weak, and they couldn't make any effort.

Green Leaf took advantage of the situation and kicked the two of them.

Yan Mingyu hurriedly pulled her away, entered the back door of Yan makeup, and then said, "Miaoqing, can you beat them?" ”

The green leaves and her hair were unkempt and silent, she just couldn't listen to others explain that Sister Yu was not good, Ming Ming Sister Yu was so good, she had always been so good, they were talking nonsense.

"Okay, you go wash and comb, and the workers will start cleaning up and get to work." Yan Mingyu said, and entered the Baihua Room.

Green Leaf wiped his face and said, "Okay, I'll go now." ”

In the next few days, rumors spread about General Chu's marriage to a jade girl, and all opinions were almost one-sided.

At the same time, because of the help of Lord Wang of Wangfu, the fact that the jade girl is a maid was vigorously publicized, so that the number of people who scolded the jade girl only increased. Of course, there are no longer a few people who say that General Chu is blind.

Because of this, the business of Yan Makeup has been declining, and the beauty shop that was sluggish before has gradually improved.

Yan Mingyu was not surprised by this, not only did she not get annoyed or cry, but asked Bandong to spread the word that if someone was willing to leave Yan Makeup, they could leave at any time, and the salary would be settled on a daily basis.

However, none of the female and male workers of Yan makeup left, but Miss Yan sold less, and the silver she earned was also less.

Green Leaf and Bandong were anxious and sad, and wanted to discuss with Yanziqi, but he was far away on the frontier and had not returned. Both of them also wondered, and they said that they would come back early, but they couldn't come after taking the swallow for seven years.

The two of them were angry, it was not Yan Ziqi who was waiting, but Chu Wei.

"General Chu!" Bandong and green leaves hurriedly saluted.

"Where's your jade girl?" Chu Wei asked.

"In the Hundred Flowers Room."

"Okay, I'll go now." With that, General Chu went straight to the Baihua Room in the backyard.

Chu Wei's vigorous steps had just stepped into the courtyard, and it happened that Yan Mingyu came out of the Baihua Room, and the two of them looked at each other.

"Mingyu."

"Lord Wang."

Chu Wei's face was full of guilt, and he slowly stepped forward and hugged Yan Mingyu in his arms: "Mingyu." ”

Yan Mingyu saw it just now, he was thin and haggard. Watching her feel a little distressed, neither he nor she thought that announcing the family affair would cause such a big shock to Da Zhou.

"I'm fine." Yan Mingyu buried his face in front of his chest, sniffed the clear breath on his body, and was very relieved: "It's okay, I'm fine." ”

Chu Wei hugged her arm and tightened it a little.

The two hugged in front of the door of the Baihua room, precipitating each other's emotions for the past few days, good, bad, happy,

Sadly, after seeing each other, they have a home.

After a while, Chu Wei hugged him a little tighter.

Yan Mingyu smiled and said, "The hug is too tight, I'm almost out of breath." ”

Only then did Chu Wei withdraw his hand, let go of her, held her shoulders with both hands, and asked, "You are still laughing." ”

Yan Mingyu said: "Why can't you laugh?" It's because of my low status, misbehaving, picking up a General Chu, such a profitable thing, shouldn't I laugh? ”

"Nonsense!" Chu Wei frowned and glared at her.

Yan Mingyu looked at him, and his voice softened: "These days, I've worked hard for you." ”

"It's not hard. Makes you suffer. ”

"I didn't. I don't care what people say. ”

"That's good, even if the whole world is against it, I will marry you, just marry you alone." Chu Wei looked at her and said firmly.

Yan Mingyu looked straight at it, almost crying in his heart, and asked, "Why?" Am I that good? ”

"You have."

"But I haven't been nice to you."

"You'll be nice to me later."

Yan Mingyu had to admit that what Chu Wei said was right, yes, she would definitely be good to him in the future, she nodded and said, "Hmm." Then he took him and said, "Let's go, let's go into the house and talk." ”

As soon as he entered the room, Yan Mingyu poured him a cup of tea and said, "A few years ago, Ziqi said that he would definitely go to Los Angeles five days ago, but he hasn't come back yet. ”

"Hmm." Chu Wei was not surprised: "Something happened on the border. ”

Yan Mingyu was not surprised: "It has something to do with the gossip about our relationship this time." Yan Mingyu stated.

Chu Wei nodded and said, "That's right." ”

"Gossip is just a diversion from us and others, but more important things have been overlooked." Yan Mingyu said.

Chu Wei looked at Yan Mingyu, under the gossip, she was not wronged, not defeated, not hurt, but so rational and accurate through the surface, to see the essence, and pointed it out sharply, how could he not like it, how could he not love, how could he not appreciate and respect: "Yes, that's right, more important things have indeed been ignored." 166 Reading Network
