Chapter 154: In vain
There was a crisp sound, the teacup shattered, and the tea splashed everywhere.
Jiang Ying, the initiator, was naturally not spared, and most of the tea splashed on the hem of her skirt, which was very wolfy. Ye Yuanwei's robe also splashed with some tea.
Zheng walked in indifferently, as if he didn't see Jiang Ying's embarrassment and panic, and said to Ye Yuanwei with a smile: "Sister Qiao is making a fuss about asking for a father, why didn't you go back to accompany her, why did you come here." Why don't you go back soon? ”
Ye Yuanwei wished he had left earlier, and said with a smile: "Grandmother was going to leave me for dinner, but when I leave, I have to bother my mother and grandmother to explain." ”
Zheng responded with a smile, and when Ye Yuanwei left, he looked at Jiang Ying idly: "Sister Ying, you have to be careful in the future." The skirt is wet with tea, but you can change it again at any time. However, if there are any bad rumors, it is not so easy to do. A girl's reputation is much more important than a skirt. Do you say yes and no? ”
These words are soft and thorny. Jiang Ying's face suddenly turned red, and she didn't dare to look up at Zheng at all.
Zheng said lightly: "By the way, if you are free, you might as well stay in the mansion for a few more days." Cui's maiden family has found a suitable candidate for a concubine, and they will soon hold a wedding banquet. It's never too late for you to drink the wedding wine and leave! The words were fluttering, but they flew over like a cold swishing knife, making people feel ashamed.
Jiang Ying was ashamed, and she couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.
The side hall fell silent, and a pin could be heard clearly falling on the floor. The maids and women standing aside each held their breath and lowered their heads. One of the maids, seeing that the situation was not good, wanted to quietly move his steps and exit.
"Xiangling, where are you going?" Zheng's voice suddenly rang out.
The maid named Xiangling trembled, and she didn't dare to speak. Although the hostess of the mansion is Jiang, it has been in the past few years. The Zheng family has already taken over the affairs of the house. Zheng is shrewd by nature, demanding, and has clear rewards and punishments, and the maids and maids in the house are quite in awe of her. Xiangling is no exception.
Zheng said with a smile: "You go to report to your mother-in-law now, and say that Yuan Wei's clothes are wet with tea and you have to go back to change your clothes." I won't be here later. ”
Xiangling didn't dare to come out, and when Zheng Shanshan left, he dared to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead with his sleeve. Then quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying's eyes were already red, tears were about to move in her eyes, and her face was full of shame. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many maids and wives around. I'm afraid she would have cried a long time ago.
Xiang Lingke didn't sympathize with this cousin at all. Doing such an outrageous thing, Zheng was already very polite to her. If it weren't for the face of the old lady Jiang, Zheng might have said more unpleasant things.
Never mind. These things have little to do with her being a maid. She just had to report the order.
Let's not mention it here. Let's say that Ye Yuanwei hurriedly walked out of Changhe Hall, and then hurried all the way to Luomei Courtyard. When encountering this kind of thing, Ye Yuanwei felt quite uncomfortable. It is indeed a pleasant thing for a girl to love herself, but if it is an obvious trap, it is really boring......
Cui Wan and the others were anxiously and uneasily waiting. The moment Ye Yuanwei's figure appeared by the door, several people breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Qingning and Cui Wan got up almost at the same time and greeted them: "Big brother (Xianggong), are you okay?" ”
Ye Yuanwei replied calmly: "Don't worry, I'm fine." "It's better to mention the scene just now. After all, it's about a girl's reputation. If Jiang Ying ruins his reputation for this, it won't be him who will suffer in the end?
Ye Qingning did not doubt him. He smiled and said, "It's okay." It just made me panic! ”
Ye Yuanwei smiled but did not speak.
Cui Wan and Ye Yuanwei have been married for five years, and they can't know more about his temperament. As soon as I saw his expression, I knew that there was something else going on in it. But. Since Ye Yuanwei didn't want to say it, she wouldn't ask in front of the two girls.
Ye Qinglan stood a few steps away, seeing the glint in Ye Yuanwei's eyes clearly, and her heart moved quietly. It seems that Jiang Ying really didn't waste the good opportunity to be alone. Fortunately, Ye Yuanwei has a firm attitude. I don't think I made any foolish moves......
"Huh? Big brother, how did your clothes get wet? Ye Qingning's sharp eyes aimed at the tea stains on Ye Yuanwei's robe. Without thinking, he asked.
Cui Wan and Ye Qinglan's eyes brushed over.
Ye Yuanwei coughed and explained with a smile: "I drank tea just now and accidentally spilled some. ”
Ye Qingning had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask. Cui Wan seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but glance at Ye Yuanwei. The husband and wife looked at each other, and they were both a little complicated.
Ye Yuanwei glanced at Cui Wan. I'll explain it slowly when I get back.
Cui Wan nodded invisibly.
Ye Qinglan took in the subtle expressions of the two, thought for a moment, and was completely relieved. No matter what happened to Changhetang just now, as long as Ye Yuanwei was unmoved.
Ye Yuanwei's concubine doesn't matter to her, as long as it's not Jiang Ying. Otherwise, the long house will not stop living. With Jiang's encouragement, I don't know what it will become. She, a concubine who lives in a long house, also has a bad life.
After waiting for a while, Zheng also returned.
Zheng's calm kung fu was top-notch, as if nothing had happened just now, and he smiled casually: "It's not too early, tell the kitchen to prepare, let's go to the dining room!" ”
The atmosphere of this dinner was actually a little weird. Ye Yuanwei rarely spoke, Cui Wan was silent all the time, and Zheng didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't have the heart to speak. Only Ye Qingning joked with Ye Qinglan from time to time.
After dinner, Zheng obviously had something to discuss with Ye Yuanwei, so he casually ordered: "Ning'er, you and Sister Lan should go back and rest first!" ”
Ye Qingning was stunned, but Ye Qinglan had already rushed to answer and retired with a smile.
After leaving Luomei Courtyard, Ye Qingning complained with a little dissatisfaction: "What are you doing in such a hurry, I still want to hear what my mother wants to say to my eldest brother!" ”
Ye Qinglan smiled: "Didn't you see that the eldest aunt had already opened her mouth to let us go first?" There must be something inconvenient for the two of us to hear. "If you talk about the set of kung fu of observing words and looking at your heart, it will be difficult for Ye Qingning to beat the horse.
Looking at Zheng's appearance, it was obvious that he wanted to discuss with Ye Yuanwei and his wife how to deal with Jiang's next moves. After all, the two of them are girls who have not left the cabinet, and it is really inconvenient for them to observe.
Ye Qingning really didn't say anything, but his expression was a little stupid. Ye Qinglan had long been accustomed to her uncertain temper, so she naturally didn't take it to heart.
Coincidentally, as soon as he walked to the door of Huancui Pavilion, he saw Jiang Ying coming from another road. According to Ye Qingning's usual temper, he should have left without even looking at it. But today, Ye Qingning was unusual, and actually stopped at the door.
Jiang Ying saw Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan from afar, and her steps were slightly hesitant. But the other party made it clear that he was waiting for himself, and he couldn't avoid it if he wanted to......
Jiang Ying stepped forward stubbornly: "Cousin Ning, Cousin Lan, it's so late, haven't you rested yet?" ”
Although the light of the lantern was not clear, such a close distance was enough for people to see Jiang Ying's red and swollen eyes clearly.
Ye Qingning's mood suddenly improved, and he deliberately laughed mockingly: "What's wrong with Cousin Ying, her eyes are red and swollen, as if she has cried." ”
Under Ye Qingning's sarcastic gaze, Jiang Ying's cheeks were hot. The feeling of having no place to be ashamed and wanting to find a hole to get into is here again. If she could, she really wanted to pull her legs and leave, and she would no longer have to face Ye Qingning's hostile ridicule.
But at this moment, Jiang's words just now suddenly came to mind again: "What is there to be ashamed of." If you want to get a good marriage, don't you have the courage to do so? Straighten me up as if nothing had happened. With me here, I will make sure you get what you want. ”
……
Thinking so, Jiang Ying's waist slowly straightened: "There was wind and sand in my eyes just now, so I shed a few tears, which made the two cousins smile." ”
Ye Qingning didn't expect Jiang Ying to react at all, and was stunned on the spot.
Ye Qinglan took over the conversation quietly: "Cousin Ying, hurry up and go in and rest!" It's dark and windy outside, so don't be blown into your eyes by the wind and sand. ”
Jiang Ying squeezed out a smile, and was not in the mood to talk any more, so she raised her feet and advanced into the Huancui Pavilion.
Ye Qingning stood in place, his pretty face was gloomy, and he glared at Jiang Ying's back fiercely. This Jiang Ying is really thick-skinned. Looking at this posture, it is clear that he has not given up......
"Let's go in first!" Ye Qinglan said in a low voice: "Don't always be angry with her." ”
In the final analysis, this matter actually has nothing to do with Ye Qingning. She has already been married, and she will get married in a year and a half at most. At that time, who are the people around Ye Yuanwei has nothing to do with Ye Qingning. She is now on the same page with Jiang Ying, in fact, most of it is because of the Jiang family. If it weren't for the Jiang clan forcing Jiang Ying to come to Huancui Pavilion, Ye Qingning probably wouldn't be in the mood to compete with Jiang Ying so much.
Ye Qingning snorted lightly and said angrily: "Anyway, I will never watch her marry her eldest brother." ”
"With the eldest aunt and sister-in-law here, she can't get her wish. The sixth sister just rest assured. It's getting late, so let's go back to the house and rest. Ye Qinglan casually echoed a few words, and finally coaxed Ye Qingning into the house.
Ye Qingning muttered unhappily: "I've never seen such a cheeky person." ”
Ye Qinglan smiled dumbly: "Today's matter has passed, don't be angry." ”
Having said that, somehow, Ye Qinglan always had a hunch that this matter was not over yet.
Facts have proved that Ye Qinglan's keen sixth sense is still so effective.
