Chapter 299: Hopeless
Today, the weirdness above the court suddenly has an answer.
No wonder Prime Minister Luo Cheng was secretly paying attention to him, and no wonder the third prince suddenly became a lot more affectionate to him...... Why? Why did his mother suddenly change her mind and want him to marry the second lady of Luofu?
"Mother," Cui Yu still held a glimmer of hope, and looked at He Shi with a wistful expression: "Are you deliberately teasing me?" How could Prime Minister Luo take a fancy to me......"
"Silly boy, this is your luck coming, and you can't stop it." He Shi's smiling words were like sharp knives, piercing his heart: "In the past, I didn't dare to think of such a family affair. It's just such a coincidence, Miss Luo Er's previous family affair has not been completed, and she is getting older, so it is not easy to find a good family affair that she agrees on. I didn't expect it to fall on you. Isn't this fate? ”
No, he doesn't want such fate!
Cui Yu's body trembled, and he mustered up the courage to speak: "Mother, please forgive me for being bold." I...... I don't want to marry Miss Luo Er, the person I like is Ye Qinglan. Mother, while it's still too late, I beg you to get Geng Ti back! ”
He smiled and was not angry: "What are you talking about!" Have all the sage books been read in vain for so many years? This good family business is a good thing that I can't ask for, I have invited the official media to propose marriage, and handed over the Geng post, even if it is a preliminary family matter. Just wait for the two families to discuss the official date of engagement and dowry and other trivial matters. If I regret it now, what face will you let me use to meet people? How can you let your father hold up when he sees Prime Minister Luo Cheng in the court? After educating you for so many years, don't you even understand this truth? ”
The big hats were pressed down, and Cui Yu was out of breath, and his delicate face was pale.
After a stalemate for a moment, Cui Yu knelt down with a pout, and opened his mouth tremblingly: "Since I was a child, I have never dared to disobey my mother's wishes." But this time...... Ask Mother. It fulfilled a piece of my heart. I only have Sister Lan in my heart. In this life, I will not marry anyone but her! ”
He Shi's whole body trembled angrily, and he slapped the table: "Okay, now the wings are hard." Don't even listen to me, do you? I sue you, don't be delusional, this family matter has been decided, you give me an honest wait for marriage. As for Ye Qinglan's girl. You died of this thought before it was too late. I will never let you marry her. ”
He Shi's tone became heavier than the other, and when it came to the last sentence, he almost shouted out with a blue face.
Cui Yu knelt there with a miserable face, his mind blank. I only felt cold all over my body, and the chill quickly spread to every corner of my body.
He wanted to open his mouth to speak. But I found that I didn't even have the strength to move my lips. The corners of my eyes were wet.
Although he is a concubine, his biological mother died early and has been raised under the knees of the He family. He Shi has always loved him, and when he saw him kneeling and crying in a daze, he naturally felt distressed, and unconsciously softened his tone: "Yu'er, I haven't told you before." I'm afraid it will affect your participation in the spring festival. Now that the temple test has passed, I will tell you the truth! I used to think that Ye Qinglan's girl was not bad, and she also thought about getting married. However, her mother-in-law is really out of tune, and I really can't look at it. It's okay if this family business is not settled. Now that there is such a good family affair as Luofu, you can't miss it. I have also seen Miss Luo Er, she has a good appearance, knows poetry, calligraphy and painting, and is good at playing the flute. Even if you put aside your family background, you are worthy of you. I'm bent on your good, that's why I rushed to end this family business. ”
After a pause, he said: "Although you were not born in my belly, I treat you more than Wan Niang." I've always been looking forward to your well-being, so I'm especially cautious about your family affairs. Now that you have decided on the family of Luofu, you should stop thinking nonsense. Take care of it, and marry Miss Luo Er before the end of the year! ”
This soft and gentle speech is more desperate than the cold words of the previous storm. No one is more familiar with He's temper than him, and since He said so, it's really impossible......
After all, he's just a concubine. It was a blessing for his grandmother to be generous to him. Over the years, he has been trembling and has always listened to Ho's words. It is also because he abides by his duty and does not dare to be presumptuous. If it is a real biological mother and child, it is naturally not such a mode of getting along. He can stubbornly kneel and never stand up, and he can cry until He's heart softens.
But now, he could only kneel indifferently, his head lowered, and tears kept sliding from the corners of his eyes. There seems to be a hollowed-out place in my heart......
He's voice sounded in his ears again: "Don't kneel here, if people see it, what will it look like." It's not too early, go back and rest! ”
Cui Yu didn't know how he got up and how he got back to his house. I don't know how the night came about. Sad and sad to the extreme, but the feeling of helplessness completely overwhelmed him.
The firecrackers outside shook the sky, and the guests were full of laughter, all for him. But he didn't have half of the ** who wanted to see people. He sent someone to call him a few times, but he didn't squeak. Silently shut himself in the room alone.
He was helpless and angry, but in front of his relatives and friends who came to congratulate him, he couldn't reveal the slightest. I just squeezed out a casual smile and continued to greet everyone.
At noon, the maid who went to deliver food to Cui Yu replied in a low voice: "Madam, the slave maid went to deliver the food, but the young master refused to open the door." ”
He smiled, and annoyance flashed in his eyes. But he lowered his voice: "I'll send it back later." The maid hurriedly answered.
Cui Wan, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said, "Mother, let me go see the second brother!" ”
He Shi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "You are physically inconvenient, and you can't worry too much about hard work, so don't go." He's a child, and it's good to make a fuss for a while......"
Cui Wan smiled and said gently: "His body is not yet well, and if he tosses like this, I am afraid that he will be sick again." I went over and tried to persuade him, maybe it would make him feel better. ”
He was silent for a moment, and finally sighed.
Cui Wan arrived outside Cui Yu's door, glanced at the maids beside her, and when the maids retreated, she knocked lightly on the door: "Second brother, it's me." ”
After a while, Cui Yu's hoarse and weak voice sounded: "Eldest sister, I want to be alone and quiet." ”
Cui Wan said patiently: "Second brother, I know you're in a bad mood right now. But it's not a way to lock yourself up like this. What's not pleasant, it's always better to say it. I'm your own sister, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will never sue my mother. ”
This time, Cui Yu was silent for a short time, but he still refused to open the door: "I don't want to say anything." ”
Cui Wan had no choice but to make a killer move: "I am your own sister, and I always look forward to your well." How can I rest assured that you are like this? If you still want to see the tenth sister again, I can arrange it for you......"
The door finally opened, and Cui Yu appeared in front of him.
Cui Wan's words came to an abrupt end, looking at Cui Yu, who was described as haggard and thin, not to mention how distressed she was.
Cui Yu couldn't even squeeze out a smile, and whispered, "Sister, come in and talk!" ”
After Cui Wan entered the house, she sighed in a low voice: "I also know about the marriage you want to marry." Don't blame your mother, she is also dedicated to your own good. ”
Cui Yu's heart was full of indissoluble bitterness, and that bitterness even spread to his mouth, making the words he said also have endless astringency: "I know, I will listen to my mother's orders." After saying this, he twisted his head to the side, and the corners of his eyes shone faintly.
Cui Wan didn't have a taste in her heart, and she didn't know how to persuade Cui Yu for a while.
The mother has always been arrogant, because she did not give birth to a son, she became more and more interested in her second brother. It can be said that this is not the case even for one's own children. But no matter what, it's a layer away after all. The second brother was obviously full of pain and sadness, but he didn't have the courage to resist. It's not because the kindness of his mother's upbringing is too heavy, so he can't break free and can't resist.
After being silent for a long time, Cui Wancai asked in a low voice, "Do you want to see the tenth sister again?" ”
Cui Yu smiled blankly, that smile was even more ugly than crying: "I...... Where do I still have the face to see her. The promise he once swore seemed to be yesterday, and it was very clear in his heart. But in the blink of an eye, his dream came to naught.
What face did he take to see her?
But deep in my heart, there is a trace of longing that should not be there. No, he's going to see her. He wanted to ask her what she wanted, and if she had him in her heart, maybe there would be a chance for a turnaround......
Cui Yu's heart was racing, and he finally mustered up the courage: "Eldest sister, I want to see her." Can you cover it up for me and don't let my mother know? ”
Cui Wan vaguely guessed his mind, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. What if we meet? The second brother who is infatuated probably doesn't know Ye Qinglan's true intentions at all. What awaited him was just another pain and disappointment.
If he is not allowed to see Ye Qinglan, he will definitely not be able to let go of it in his heart, and he will also have resentment towards his mother. It's better to break it neatly, and the pain for a while is better than endless worries in the future......
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you." Cui Wan finally opened her mouth and agreed: "However, you can't go to see the tenth sister like this, you must rest well these days, eat on time and take care of your body, and when the arrangements are ready, I will naturally have someone send you a letter." ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Cui Yu's eyes, and he nodded obediently, finally cheering up a little.
In the next few days, although Cui Yu still refused to go out to meet people, he was finally willing to eat. He was a little relieved, knowing that this qiē was all the credit of Cui Wan.
When Cui Wan sent someone to send a letter to invite Cui Yu to come to the door, He knew that there were some tricks in it, but he only didn't know about it, and nodded and allowed Cui Yu to go out-
