Chapter 55: Reason
Ye Qinglan saw that her expression was relaxed, so she glanced at Zhixia and the others. The maids retreated lightly.
Ye Qinglan took a few steps closer and said in a low voice, "Did Cousin Zheng say something to your uncle and aunt?" ”
Ye Qingning nodded, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
On the day of the birthday banquet, Zheng and his aunt Mrs. Xu had a tacit understanding. If there are no accidents, it is time to find someone to officially come to the door to kiss in the next few days.
Zheng had already begun to think about the issue of the dowry, but he didn't expect things to change drastically, which caught people off guard.
"This morning, my aunt sent someone to deliver a letter." Ye Qingning finally opened his mouth, and a trace of shame flashed in his eyes: "My cousin told them that what he likes is Cousin Xiyu, and the only person he wants to marry is her." ”
When Zheng received the news, he was shocked and angry. couldn't even wait for Ye Chengren to come back to discuss the matter, so he came to Huancui Pavilion and told Ye Qingning about the matter.
Although Ye Qingning had already prepared in his heart, he was still ashamed when he heard the news, and replied without thinking: "I don't care who he likes to marry." ”
Zheng put on a straight face at that time and reprimanded Ye Qingning a few words. The words are long and don't need to be repeated, the point is that she doesn't have to care about anything, just wait to marry Zheng Guogong Mansion with peace of mind.
"Is that really what Aunt said?" The more Ye Qinglan listened, the more wrong she became: "Then what is your aunt's attitude?" Zheng Junyan's attitude is very clear, and there is no need to say more. What was Mrs. Xu's reaction?
Ye Qingning tugged at the corners of her lips, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes: "My aunt didn't say anything." Mrs. Xu just wrote down the matter on a piece of paper, and sent a housekeeper's mother to Changyuanbo's mansion.
Didn't say anything......
Ye Qinglan also frowned.
If Mrs. Xu insisted on the family business of Changyuan Bofu, she should reprimand Zheng Junyan and dispel his thoughts. If you want to marry the Gu Mansion, you can use this matter to refuse this side. What's the deal with such an ambiguous reaction now?
Ye Qingning sneered and said: "Cousin Xiyu is the only young lady in the Dingguo Mansion, with a noble status, and she is actually more compatible with Cousin Zheng. If she is fine, there is nothing wrong with her, and it is too late for her aunt to rejoice. ”
It's a pity that Gu Xiyu was withdrawn and introverted by nature, and she didn't even dare to say a word when she saw the living. With such a temperament, how can she be the eldest granddaughter-in-law of Zheng Guogong's mansion?
When she said this, Ye Qinglan suddenly understood. This Mrs. Xu was very shrewd, and she tactfully informed the Zheng family about this, but did not explicitly refuse. Obviously, I want to observe for a while before deciding who to choose as my daughter-in-law.
Zheng refused to give up such a good family business. But Ye Qingning is so proud, how can he tolerate such humiliation. In a fit of rage, he had an argument with Zheng.
Zheng usually loves her the most and is almost obedient to her, but in this matter, he didn't give an inch, and even reprimanded her fiercely.
The more Ye Qingning talked, the more aggrieved he became, and when he said it, his eyes turned red.
Ye Qinglan comforted: "Don't be so sad first. Maybe this matter will be resolved soon. "Mrs. Xu can't keep delaying like this!
Ye Qingning's face was stubborn: "Even if my cousin changes his mind in the future, I won't marry him." ”
Ye Qinglan echoed her words and said, "That is, the appearance and talent of the sixth sister are all first-class, and the people who want to marry you are probably lined up from the east of the city to the west of the city." Cousin Zheng is also too visionless. After a pause, he suddenly added with a smile: "In my opinion, only a man like Cousin Gu is the most suitable for the sixth sister!" ”
Hearing Gu Xinian's name coldly, Ye Qingning blushed a little unresponsively, and glanced at Ye Qinglan coquettishly: "It's nonsense again." "It's soft, it doesn't have any strength at all, but it's full of girlish shyness.
Ye Qinglan winked playfully, pretending to be innocent: "What I said is from my heart, where is nonsense." Besides, there's no one else here, just the two of us. What can't be said. ”
Ye Qingning bit her lip and slapped Ye Qinglan a few times in annoyance.
After a bit of frolicking, Ye Qingning's mood was obviously much better. Ye Qinglan took the opportunity to ask: "By the way, Sixth Sister, there is one thing I have always been curious about, why has Cousin Gu never married?" Did something happen before? ”
Ye Qingning smiled, and he didn't really want to talk about this topic: "This is all an old thing from a few years ago, and I don't know very well." ”
Since she refused to say it explicitly, Ye Qinglan had to stop there. But I became more and more curious. I'll have to find a chance to find out about it in the future.
Ye Qingning casually opened the topic: "Are you feeling better?" ”
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "Actually, I'm not sick at all. ”
What the? Ye Qingning was stunned: "You have been pretending to be sick?" "It's too similar!
Ye Qinglan made up her mind to get closer to her, of course she had to confess in these little things, and the more detailed she said, the better: "If I want to stay in the capital, I have to have an excuse." So I started pretending to be sick a few days ago. Sixth sister, I will only tell you alone for this secret, and you must not tell anyone else. ”
Sharing each other's secrets is the best way to bring two girls closer.
Ye Qingning's expression really moved, and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, I will never sue others." ”
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled. Although Ye Qingning has many shortcomings, there is no such thing as a lot of mouths. Because of this, she will rest assured to tell Ye Qingning about this matter.
Taking a step back, even if Ye Qingning leaked this secret, it would be nothing. How could she really hide this little trick of pretending to be sick from the shrewd women of the Jiang family and the Zheng family? It's just that they didn't bother to ask about the third room, so they just opened their eyes and closed their eyes.
"Sixth sister, I'll come with you from tomorrow to say hello to my grandmother?" Taking advantage of Ye Qingning's good mood, Ye Qinglan made a request with a smile.
Ye Qingning responded very cheerfully: "Okay, you come to me first, and then we will go to see our mother together, and then our mother will lead us to say goodbye to our grandmother." ”
These words were in Ye Qinglan's arms, and she immediately responded with a smile.
The next morning, Ye Qinglan really came early. The face was still powdered, but there was no rouge, and it looked pale and weak.
Ye Qingning didn't know the inside story, but now that she knew that Ye Qinglan was pretending to be sick, she felt funny when she looked sick. deliberately teased: "Tenth sister, your complexion today is much worse than yesterday." You have to take care of yourself. ”
Ye Qinglan was unashamed, and responded with a smile: "Thank you Sixth Sister for your concern." With the intention of the sixth sister, the little sister will definitely get better. ”
The thickness of the skin is not on a horizontal line at all!
Ye Qingning glanced at her with a smile and a smile: "Don't be poor, let's go quickly!" ”
