Cui Wan was stunned, and couldn't figure out what Ye Qingning meant for a while, so she didn't take the liberty to agree.

Zheng's face sank: "You have already decided on a family affair, and you are still thinking about running around, and there are no rules at all." ”

Ye Qingning was reprimanded twice, but he didn't feel wronged, but took the opportunity to say: "I'm worried that my sister-in-law will be lonely on the way back alone, and multiple people can talk." Since my mother thinks that it is inconvenient for me to accompany my sister-in-law, let the tenth sister follow my sister-in-law to Cui's house. ”

……

Ye Qinglan glared at Ye Qingning without a trace. Bad ideas!

Ye Qingning winked playfully. It's a rare opportunity to go to Cui's mansion, but you have to take advantage of the opportunity to please the He family. Sixth sister is for your own good, so you don't have to thank me too much!

Zheng looked at the eyebrows of the two girls in his eyes, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. It's just a trivial matter, just according to Ye Qingning's wishes.

"It's okay, Sister Lan will accompany the Cui family back to Cui's mansion in the afternoon!" Zheng's tone was indifferent, but he could not refuse.

Ye Qinglan reluctantly responded.

Cui Wan was in a chaotic mood and didn't have the heart to think about it. After the coachman prepared the carriage and Ye Qinglan accompanied her into the carriage, Cui Wan realized Ye Qingning's intentions.

"Tenth sister don't worry," Cui Wan smiled and soothed: "Cui's mansion is in Yong'an Lane, not far from here, at most it will take more than half an hour to arrive." You should just go out for a walk. ”

The words are very subtle, but the implication is very clear. Although Cui Yu has a good impression of you, however, Cui Fu will never do anything that is difficult for a strong man, so there is no need to be vigilant.

Under Cui Wan's kind and knowing gaze, Ye Qinglan suddenly felt a little ashamed.

The Cui family is a noble scholarly family, Cui Yu is young and intelligent, and he is the only son of the long house, and his future is limitless. Cui Fu wants to find a daughter-in-law who is the right person, and there are many candidates. Why did she lift herself up so high? Think people have to be her?

When did she start to be so proud and reserved? Is it because of the modern life of more than 20 years more than others, and you look down on the people of this era from the bottom of your heart? Or is it because of Cui Yu's obvious affection for her, so he didn't take Cui Yu seriously from the bottom of his heart?

Whatever it was, it was enough for her to be ashamed and self-reflective......

Cui Wan saw that she lowered her eyelids and didn't say anything, and she couldn't figure out her thoughts for a while, and she was in a troubled mood, and she was not in the mood to speak for a while, and there was silence in the carriage. All I could hear was the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of wooden wheels rolling forward.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Qinglan finally calmed down. Cheered up and looked at Cui Wan: "Sister-in-law, how long have you not been back to your parents' house?" ”

Cui Wan calmed down and responded with a smile: "I haven't been back for about half a year." "After getting married. It's someone's daughter-in-law, and she can't go out lightly. It's not easy to go back to your parents' home. If it weren't for the urgency of the matter this time, the Zheng family would not have allowed her to return to Cui's Mansion so lightly.

Looking at the yearning and joy in Cui Wan's eyes, Ye Qinglan also felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

After the crossing, she quickly accepted reality. I also adapted well to my current life. But she never really integrated into this identity. She thinks that everything is too beautiful and too simple. Avoiding Ye Yuanzhou, dealing with the difficulties of the Xue family, and seeking a good family for herself, she has always believed that she can do it.

But after seeing Cui Wan's situation, she realized that she was a little naïve.

This is not the world she is familiar with, and women have a low status. There is no autonomy at all in the matter of marriage. Taking a step back, even if you marry the man you like, you have to deal with a lot of trouble. "From then on, the two lived happily and peacefully" only exists at the end of the fairy tale. And in real life, getting married only means starting a new journey......

There was silence again.

Cui Wan saw that Ye Qinglan's expression was a little dazed, and she was secretly strange in her heart, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you today, why haven't you been talking?" "It's been a little weird since I got in the carriage.

Ye Qinglan naturally wouldn't tell the truth. replied vaguely: "I have never been to Cui's Mansion, and I am a little nervous!" ”

Cui Wan smiled dumbly: "I'm here." What else is there to worry about. The tone is confident and the eyes are bright.

At this time, Cui Wan had a subtle difference with Cui Shi, the granddaughter of the chief of the long house in Changyuan's mansion. Although it is still the same face, the whole person is much more confident and lively. Is it because the Cui Mansion is getting closer and closer?

Ye Qinglan was infected by Cui Wan's rare good mood, and responded with a smile: "Okay, then please take care of my sister-in-law." ”

Cui Wan pursed her lips and chuckled, and couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out. Ye Qinglan also took advantage of the situation to look at the scenery outside the carriage. Although it is only a skimming, typical of the horses. But her mood quickly improved.

Forget it, don't be cranky and toss yourself. As Cui Wan said, it is difficult to go out of the house, so it is regarded as a trip to relax.

The carriage turned a corner and drove into an alley.

The alley was wide and clean, and from time to time the door of a mansion flashed. It seems that this is Yongan Lane, one of the four lanes and seven lanes.

After Cui Wan entered this alley, the whole person relaxed, and said to Ye Qinglan with a smile: "This is Yongan Lane, don't underestimate this place." Although it is not as good as the Qinghe Fang of the Fusion Fang, there are princely mansions everywhere, but the people who live here are all famous families in the capital. Look, Cui's Mansion is there! The last sentence revealed a deep joy.

Ye Qinglan looked in the direction of Cui Wan's finger.

Cui Mansion is also a century-old scholarly family, and there have been three Hanlin scholars in several generations, and one has been a Taifu. The children of the Cui family are very strict in their upbringing, even women are reading and learning calligraphy, and their style is extremely positive. Because of this, Changyuan Bofu will marry Cui Fu, and Cui Wan will marry Ye Yuanwei, which can be called a good match.

Seeing too much of the grandeur of the Prince's Mansion, Cui's Mansion is naturally a little inferior. There is only one main entrance, and the open space in front of the door is not large, and there are no swaggering stone lions or anything like that. But in Cui Wan's eyes, this must be the best place in the world.

The carriage stopped at the door, and the coachman handed over the poster. The little concierge saw the famous post, and his face suddenly had joy: "The eldest lady is back!" ”

Before he finished speaking, the door was pushed open by two small servants. One of them ran away to report that Ho had gone.

Cui Wan was a little uncontrollable excited, and got out of the carriage with the support of the maid. Ye Qinglan sat for a long time, her hands and feet were a little sore, and after getting out of the carriage, she moved her wrist slightly under the cover of her sleeves.

After waiting for a while, I saw a well-dressed lady greet her, it was Cui Wan's mother, He!

Mother and daughter have their own affection and joy when they see each other. He Shi took Cui Wan's hand, looked up and down a few times, and asked with a smile: "You kid, why don't you say anything in advance if you want to come back." ”

Cui Wan pursed her lips and smiled: "I came back suddenly, I just wanted to surprise my mother!" ”

He smiled, but his heart sank slightly. Cui Wan came back suddenly, and it must be as simple as a surprise for her. What the hell is going on?

Cui Wan turned her head and smiled: "Mother, this is the tenth sister, you have seen her a few times, you should know her." ”

Of course, I know it, and I am still very impressed. He smiled meaningfully and looked at Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen my aunt." The gestures are generous, and the smile is full of faces, which makes people feel good from the bottom of their hearts.

He nodded with a smile and led Cui Wan and Ye Qinglan to the mansion.

Ye Qinglan followed Cui Wan's side and looked at the surroundings quietly. After seeing the century-old princely families such as the Dingguo Mansion and the Zhengguo Mansion, her vision is much higher than before. Cui's Mansion is not as good as Changyuan's Mansion, and naturally it can't be compared with the Prince's Mansion. The scholarly family that can be inherited for many years also has its own heritage.

Everywhere you can see, there are exquisite rockeries and strange stones, the trail under your feet is winding and secluded, you can turn a corner in a few steps, and then the eyes are bright, and you can always see a different scenery. It can be seen that when the Cui Mansion was built, it took a lot of thought and effort.

Cui Wan saw that Ye Qinglan was looking attentively, and she also felt that there was light on her face, and laughed in a low voice: "This is still the mansion built by my great-grandfather when he was alive. ”

Cui Wan's great-grandfather was a very famous Confucian, and later became the crown prince. After the crown prince succeeded to the throne, he wholeheartedly assisted the new emperor. He did not retire until he was sixty-five years old. It was at that time that the Cui Mansion was built. The reputation of the Cui family also reached its peak at that time.

Over the years, the descendants of the Cui family have all entered the government from the imperial examination, although they have not produced a first- or second-class master, but they have produced two Hanlin bachelors. There are also five or six of Cui's children who have passed the Jinshi examination. The words of the scholarly door, Cui Mansion is definitely well-deserved!

In Cui Wan's generation, the He family has no children, only Cui Yu, the son of the concubine, who has been strictly raised. Therefore, Cui Yu has no arrogance and luxury, and he studies very hard.

Ye Qingning often whispered these in Ye Qinglan's ear, so Ye Qinglan was no stranger to these.

Soon arrived at He's yard. Cui Wan had a stomach full of words to say to the He family, but these words were really inconvenient for Ye Qinglan to hear.

Cui Wan glanced at Ye Qinglan hesitantly.

Ye Qinglan was so knowledgeable, she immediately smiled and said, "I've never been to Cui's Mansion, I don't know if I can go around the garden?" ”

He immediately smiled and said, "This is naturally no problem. casually instructed the housekeeper's mother to accompany Ye Qinglan around the house.

The housekeeper's mother responded with a smile and led the way in front of her. Although I don't know Ye Qinglan's identity very well, since she can come back with Cui Wan, and she has to look at her differently, she is naturally not an ordinary guest. But you have to serve well, and you can't be lazy.

Ye Qinglan walked around the Cui Mansion aimlessly. Ruixue and Guiyuan talk to her from time to time to relieve boredom, and there is a beautiful scenery to enjoy, but it is not lonely.

Walking to a pavilion, Ye Qinglan stopped and carefully admired the exquisite pavilion.

"Ten, ten sisters!" A clear young man's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and his voice was full of surprise: "Is it you?" ”
