Chapter 147: Sympathy
The young masters and young ladies who came out probably will never be able to understand this kind of sadness and pain.
Ye Qinglan softly reassured: "This is all in the past, it's useless to think about it." Aren't you doing well now? β
Cui Yu cheered up and squeezed out a smile: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this in front of you." He never mentioned these words to anyone. But in front of Ye Qinglan, she spoke out naturally. It was only at this moment that he realized that he had lost some of his temper.
Fortunately, Ye Qinglan didn't mean to make fun of her, and her attitude was even softer than before: "It's okay, what you said, in fact, I understand it." My biological mother was a maid by my father's side, and she was later raised as a concubine. When I was five years old, she also 'died of illness.' β
are all concubines, and the same situation quickly shortened the distance between the two.
Cui Yu looked at Ye Qinglan with pity: "You must have had a hard time." Although he is also a concubine, he is the only man in the family after all, and his parents attach great importance to him. The treatment he enjoyed was similar to that of his grandson. And Ye Qinglan's situation is probably much worse than him......
Ye Qinglan smiled casually.
The life of the original owner is not only hard, it can be described as miserable. Her biological brother had a dark and twisted mind, her fiancΓ© died unexpectedly, and then she became infamous. In the end, she is introverted and cowardly, and she can only do the most passive resistance by ending her life. Rebirth failed to change the bleak fate, and he still died young. If it weren't for her ghostly spirit stationed in this body, this body would have been buried in dry bones long ago!
However, these things naturally do not need to be told to Cui Yu.
"Brother Cui Shi, my sister-in-law is talking to my aunt, you should go and see her." Ye Qinglan reminded with a smile.
Cui Yu was shocked to realize that time passed quickly, and before he knew it, the two of them stood in front of the pavilion for a long time. My legs were aching.
"Come along!" Cui Yu said a little shyly, and quickly glanced at Ye Qinglan.
After that conversation. The two are much more familiar than before, and Cui Yu finally stopped stammering when he spoke.
Ye Qinglan wanted to refuse politely, but looking at Cui Yu's expectant eyes, her heart moved quietly and she nodded in response. Although she doesn't have a special affection for Cui Yu, it seems that Cui Yu is still a cute teenager at present. Maybe after getting along for a long time, feelings will arise......
This subtle action made Cui Yu's eyes light up, and his face flushed with excitement. Speaking again, Ai Ai began: "Ten sisters first, please first." β
Ye Qinglan couldn't help laughing and led Rui Xue and Gui Yuan back. Cui Yu was very polite and not too close.
Arrived in Ho's yard. Ye Qinglan and Cui Yu stopped in unison. After the maid went to pass the message, they entered the side hall together.
I don't know what the mother and daughter said before, Cui Wan's eyes were faintly red, and He's face was not very good-looking.
Cui Yu has an upright temperament and can't hold back his words. asked directly: "Eldest sister, does my brother-in-law really want to take a concubine?" β
Cui Wan's pale face squeezed out a smile: "You can't blame him." It's because my stomach is not angry, and it has been five years, and I haven't been able to open up the Ye family. He is also the grandson of the eldest house, and he always has to inherit the incense for the Ye family. β
These words came out of Cui Wan's mouth, which made people even more sad and sad.
Cui Yu clenched his fists hard. Hold back your anger: "It's too much to deceive people!" I'm going to settle accounts with him! β
"Nonsense!" He Shi had a calm face and glared at Cui Yu: "Sit down for me!" β
Cui Yu has always respected his mother-in-law, although he is full of anger. But he didn't dare to disobey her order, and sat down next to Cui Wan.
Ye Qinglan was a little embarrassed. Although this matter has nothing to do with her, all the people here are from the Cui family, and it is really inconvenient for her, an outsider with the surname Ye, to express any opinions.
Fortunately, Cui Wan relieved her in time: "Tenth sister, come and sit too!" It's none of your business. You don't have to feel embarrassed. β
Ye Qinglan smiled and sat down silently. No matter what. She wasn't ready to interject next.
In fact, there was no chance to interject.
Cui Yu looked at Cui Wan, his eyes were full of pity and distress: "Eldest sister, have you already agreed to your brother-in-law's concubine?" "It stands to reason that the matter of taking a concubine must be approved by the head of the house.
Cui Wan smiled a little reluctantly: "Hmm." Everyone pressed forward step by step, where could she not agree.
When Cui Yu saw Cui Wan like this, he only felt heavy and uncomfortable in his heart.
Cui Wan turned around and comforted him: "Fortunately, my mother-in-law was reasonable and allowed me to come back and discuss this matter with my mother." "With the support of the Zheng family, at least they have the initiative in the selection of concubines.
Cui Yu was stunned at first, but then he understood, and there was a sudden silence. Although he is simple, after all, he is a boy who grew up in an aristocratic family, and he understands some things more or less. As it stands, this is the best solution.
It's just that I don't know whose innocent girl is going to be sent to Ye Yuanwei as a concubine......
He Shi and Cui Wan exchanged glances, tacitly avoided this topic, and only lightly told Cui Yu: "Yu'er, you don't have to worry about this matter, when you see your brother-in-law in the future, you won't say much, do you hear?" β
Cui Yu has always been obedient, but this time he retorted: "Why can't you say more?" Brother-in-law, I'm sorry eldest sister, can't I even say a word? How do you make sense! "It's a rare stubbornness.
He Shi stiffened his face and was about to count a few words, but after thinking about it, his attitude softened again. No matter what, Cui Yu only had such a reaction because he felt sorry for his sister. In fact, why doesn't she feel sorry for her daughter?
However, when things come to this point, they can only be solved in this way......
Seeing Cui Yu's reaction like this, Cui Wan's heart warmed, and she said softly: "Second brother, I know you feel sorry for me." However, Mother was right. If it's really for my good, don't say anything when you see your brother-in-law in the future. "Otherwise, if Ye Yuanwei loses face and is not happy, it will hurt her.
Although Cui Yu was a little stupid and puzzled about the world, his mind was very smart, and after thinking about it for a while, he also understood. I only felt very aggrieved and sad in my heart, but I didn't know how to comfort Cui Wan.
Cui Wan took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile and said, "I've been back for so long, it's time to go back." β
He reluctantly reluctantly reluctantly retained: "It's rare to come back once, let's go after dinner!" Your father hasn't come back yet, and he hasn't seen you yet! β
Cui Wan hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head: "No need, I'd better go back first." Sister Qiao'er can't be taken care of by anyone. "Moreover, Zheng must be waiting for her to hear back.
He understood Cui Wan's thoughts, so he sighed lightly and got up to see Cui Wan. Ye Qinglan also got up busily.
Cui Yu said suddenly: "Eldest sister, I'll send you back." β
Cui Wan was about to politely refuse, but after seeing Cui Yu's eyes floating towards Ye Qinglan again and again, she suddenly came to her senses. Rao is in a bad mood and has the urge to laugh.
He also saw Cui Yu's careful thinking clearly, smiled secretly, but said: "It's okay, I can rest assured that you will send me." After thinking about it, he explained: "Send it to the door of Changyuan Bo's mansion, and you will come back." β
Otherwise, with Cui Yu's upright temper, he might not know what to say when he saw Ye Yuanwei after entering the mansion.
Cui Yu's spirits perked up, and when he thought of being able to travel with Ye Qinglan in the same car, his mood suddenly improved.
If it had been changed a few days ago, Ye Qinglan would have had a headache with Cui Yu's diligence and proximity. But now that there has been a subtle change in mentality, I don't think Cui Yu is an eyesore.
Nothing else, Cui Yu himself is a very likable boy. studious and self-motivated, with good character and politeness. The dull bookish anger also makes people feel cute.
Probably sensing that Ye Qinglan glanced at him a few times, Cui Yu suddenly felt nervous and cramped, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
He walked forward without squinting, but accidentally stepped on a stone and almost fell. Thanks to Cui Wan's quick hand, he was finally in danger.
β¦β¦
Cui Wan whispered: "Such a big person, no matter how you walk, it's not safe." What are you thinking? β
He Shi asked nervously: "Yu'er, your feet are not twisted!" Does leg pain hurt? β
"No, nothing, I'm fine." Cui Yu was embarrassed in front of his sweetheart, not to mention how annoyed and embarrassed he was, his face was flushed, and the back of his ears was also hot.
Ye Qinglan had the urge to laugh again, and quietly twisted her head to the side.
After waiting for the carriage, the heat on Cui Yu's face subsided slightly.
The carriage was very spacious, and Ye Qinglan and Cui Wan sat opposite Cui Yu, even if their legs were longer, they didn't have to worry about accidentally touching each other.
Ye Qinglan asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, has the matter been properly discussed?" β
She asked vaguely and tactfully, but Cui Wan understood as soon as she heard it, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "How can it be so fast." It will take at least ten days and a half months to get results. β
The Cui clan is not a small number of people, but it is to be sent to Changyuan Bofu as a concubine, and those who are in a slightly better situation will not be willing. You can only find a girl from the relatives of the side branch. Not only has to be the right age, but also has a good look, and you have to find someone who is willing to be a concubine with a soft personality. It's really hard to find.
He promised to do his best to determine a good candidate, and then sent a letter to Changyuan Bofu. But when Cui Wan thought of Jiang's niece and granddaughter, she felt very uncomfortable. I always vaguely feel that things will not go so smoothly......
Seeing Cui Wan frowning, Ye Qinglan naturally guessed what was on her mind. whispered comfortingly: "Sister-in-law don't worry. With the eldest aunt here, that Jiang Ying would never have entered the mansion. β
I hope so!
Cui Wan squeezed out a smile.
Cui Yu heard a name at the tip of his ear, frowned and asked, "Eldest sister, who is this Jiang Ying?" β
