Chapter 151: After His Words
Chen Qiuniang looked at him very calmly and said very firmly: "I will not marry you, no reason." β
Ye Xuan was speechless, but his face sank like the bottom of a pot, during which Xiao Lin came to ask him when he would leave for Linqiong, he angrily threw a teacup out, it was a fine celadon.
The celadon splashed in all directions, colliding with the incense copper stove in the house, making a crisp sound.
"Get out." Ye Xuan shouted, startling Xiao Lin for a moment, then looked at Chen Qiuniang suspiciously, and then retreated.
The afternoon breeze blew in, blowing the bead curtain and making a crisp crashing sound.
"Do you have to marry that villain Zhu Wenkang? You obviously don't want to marry him, so you will go to Zhang Ci. If it's not him, can't it? Ye Xuan's tone was low, and his expression was very hurt, as if he was talking to Chen Qiuniang, and as if he was talking to himself.
"Ye Gongzi, everyone has everyone's persistence. I will not marry someone who does not respect me, does not feel sorry for me, and only calculates for me. She said. For the first time, she made it clear in front of a person that she would not marry Zhu Wenkang.
"I respect you very much, I feel sorry for you, and I don't have any calculations for you. I just want to protect you, don't you know? What have I calculated for you? Ye Xuan became excited.
"I don't mean you." Chen Qiuniang interrupted him.
Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and then there seemed to be a surprise in his expression, and asked, "You mean that you are unwilling to marry Zhu Wenkang?" β
Chen Qiuniang nodded, Ye Xuan wanted to say something, but he stopped, waved his hand and said, "Wait, you said you didn't want to marry, but it was rumored outside that you agreed." And you and Zhu Wenkang went to Tianxianglou for dinner. β
"Chai Yu is my life-saving benefactor, in his hands, Liucun also has my younger brothers and sisters, grandma and father." Chen Qiuniang said slowly.
Ye Xuan stopped talking, only leaned against the window and sighed, and after a while, he said: "I won't calculate you, the head of the Ye family is also yours, now that Chai Yu has rescued her, if you marry me, I can send someone to take your relatives to Linqiong Ye's house to live, and Zhu Wenkang will have no choice." β
"I still have this Yunlai Hotel, and I still have Chen's shopkeeper." Chen Qiuniang sighed, even if there is no Chai Yu and no Liu Village, there is still a family here.
"I can join Yunlai Hotel as a major shareholder." In order to express his sincerity, Ye Xuan immediately said this.
Chen Qiuniang looked at him for a while and said, "Thank you." β
"Then you don't have any worries, you can marry me." Ye Xuan asked, his expression turned out to be slightly nervous. Chen Qiuniang looked at this face and couldn't speak for a while.
"What's wrong?" He asked in a low voice.
Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said, "You only know the person I don't marry, but you don't know the person I want to marry." β
Ye Xuan's face froze, his lips moved, and he didn't speak. Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyes and said, "I have also read books since I was a child, and I am not interested in the words of talented and beautiful people." But I also want to marry such a person, love each other, and from then on, I will only love one person, and I will stay together for a long time, and I will grow old. This man is upright, kind, resolute, and warm, as bright as the sun, as bright as the moon, as bright as the stars, and as clean as the breeze. I would only marry someone like that. β
"Actually-" Ye Xuan paused, raised his eyes to look over, an innocent smile on his lips, a happy look, and said, "I'm that kind of person." β
"Poof" Chen Qiuniang really couldn't help but squirt out a sip of tea.
Ye Xuanmeng's face turned black in an instant, and he asked, "What do you mean?" Let me tell you, this son is really such a person, you marry me, I don't take a concubine, and from now on, you are alone. As for the advantages you mentioned, I have them all. Otherwise, a big family like the Ye family would not have chosen me as the heir. You say yes, right? β
"You're right, I can't argue with that." Chen Qiuniang looked at Ye Xuan.
"Well, marry me, you won't suffer." Ye Xuan said proudly.
"But you don't love me, and I don't love you." Chen Qiuniang said with a smile, as if she was joking, but she was really helpless in her heart, others were not bumpy at all, and she caught a good marriage casually, but she met Dai Yuanqing, and it didn't take long for her to become a cousin; Now that I met Zhang Ci, I think this child is good, and it is really good for her, but it turns out that this person is even more troublesome, and the situation is even more complicated than when she and Dai Yuanqing were in charge.
God, what kind of karma are you going to arrange for me? Chen Qiuniang felt very bored, and couldn't help sighing.
Ye Xuan was silent for a while and asked, "What is love?" β
What is love? Chen Qiuniang couldn't describe it specifically for Ye Xuan, in fact, she didn't know exactly what love was.
"You don't know, do you?" Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders, looking very disdainful, and said, "So, don't think so much, you just need to know that I have no calculation or conspiracy against you, I will protect you and your family, and you don't want to take a concubine, I'll give you one for the rest of my life, isn't it good?" β
"What love is, I will know when I meet it. In the vast sea of people, just one glance, you can't forget it. Chen Qiuniang said.
Ye Xuan shook his head, saying that he couldn't understand what she was thinking, he said that the conditions he gave were very generous, and if he, Ye Sangongzi, threw out this kind of condition, no woman would refuse.
Chen Qiuniang smiled, Ye Xuan, a son who was pampered and grew up with the stars holding the moon, was born in ancient times when three wives and four concubines were very normal, and he couldn't understand love. After all, his status and wealth don't require him to spend any effort to study these, and naturally countless women are eager to flock to him and try their best to please him.
When she thought of this, she suddenly thought of Zhang Ci again. Ye Xuan is like this, why is Zhang Ci not like this? The reason why he is moody and keeps a distance from anyone now is only because his identity is too special, and he himself should be deeply rooted in the concept of this time and space. If he changes to Ye Xuan's position, I am afraid that he may not be willing to make a promise like Ye Xuan. He's such a good being, and he doesn't have a good temper.
Chen Qiuniang thought to herself about Zhang Ci, and then lost her mind. Ye Xuan said loudly: "Hey, don't get distracted. You're from Ben Gongzi. β
She raised her head, smiled at him, and said, "Third Master Ye, don't waste your efforts. You've worked hard to convince me. I can even say that I am alone, who doesn't know that Ye Sangongzi is boundless. β
"That's a necessary entertainment." Ye Xuan still has to argue.
She waved her hand, without giving him a chance to defend herself, and said, "As Childe said, I am still smart and can see the overall situation." So, the third son, who can become the first heir of the Ye family, how can he not know that the nine major families, no matter which court they are, want to open the knife? Your Ye family is in charge of controlling the salt industry, and the imperial court is relying on it today, and when his Japanese soldiers stop, I am afraid that the Ye family will also be the target of Bianjing. Now, you guys are good, did you successfully get the Zhang family to avoid it, but you put the Ye family into his mouth, waiting for him to open his mouth? β
Chen Qiuniang spoke slowly, with a smile on her face. Ye Xuan's face suddenly sank, and he was a little embarrassed.
"Besidesβ" Chen Qiuniang took a sip of water before she said slowly, "Looking at the way you talk, the nine major families are in the same spirit, and a lot of information is exchanged." β
Ye Xuan was silent, and Chen Qiuniang didn't embarrass him, but just said to herself: "Could it be that you, Ye Xuan, are going to marry someone to be the housewife, haven't you investigated this person yet?" Even if you don't, Zhang Ci and Jing Liang must have investigated. Didn't they tell you, whose daughter am I? β
When Chen Qiuniang said the last rhetorical question, she lowered her voice, and Ye Xuan's face was obviously stagnant.
"Looking at your expression, it is obvious that you know that I am the daughter of Madame Hua Rui, and I may also be the princess of the Later Shu Dynasty." Chen Qiuniang sighed, and ate some refreshments, after she finished dealing with this matter, she had to have other things, and she had to take advantage of this gap to replenish her strength. There have been too many things lately, and they are all sloppy, and if there is a slight mistake, things will be very troublesome.
During the time she was eating refreshments, Ye Xuan, who had been lowering her head and lowering her eyes, was silent for a long time before she said slowly: "Even if you are the princess of the Later Shu Death Kingdom, so what?" Hou Shu is dead, and I am marrying you. β
"Yo, Ye Sangongzi, don't sue me, the Ye family, who is in charge of the world's salt industry, will let an innocent person become the heir." Chen Qiuniang made sarcastic remarks. She really didn't like their group of self-proclaimed smart people to play with each other, not to mention that she had no way to evaluate that marrying Ye Xuanhui would be a better choice. At this moment, she is trusted by everyone, including Zhang Ci, who has done a lot for her. That person is the head of the Nine Great Families, bears the secrets and responsibilities of the Nine Great Families, is their leader, and is considered to be the one in power. Those who are in power have more power than one qiΔ, and they do not have too much mercy, otherwise they will not achieve anything.
She wouldn't be stupid enough to think that Zhang Ci had done those things for her and made a taboo, and her weight could be so big that Zhang Ci would abandon the picturesque country and just stand up to the world for her.
She wouldn't be so stupid, and she didn't want to believe that she would be a legend. Whether in that time and space, or in the early Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, and now now.
"What I said is true." Ye Xuan emphasized, but the momentum is much weaker. probably thinks that the girl in front of her is too smart, and their efforts are transparent in front of her, and she can see the essence directly.
Sweets and tea are not good ingredients, and if you eat too much, your stomach will be a little unbearable. Chen Qiuniang was only half full, then took a silk handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and cleaned her hands in the basin on the side. Then he said slowly: "People like us, it's not interesting to play tricks, third son." Zhao Kuangyin had a good time in the Central Plains, but then went to Chudi, why did he suddenly rush to attack Houshu? β
"Shu is rich." Ye Xuan spit out these words extremely reluctantly.
"Yes, Shu is rich. Zhao Kuangyin was so poor at that time that he didn't pay military salaries and food, and there would be mutiny in the army at any time. Therefore, he said to the two armies that attacked Shu that except for the land of Shu, everything else was left to them. However, did the Shu Kingdom, which had plundered thousands of miles of fertile wilderness, really satisfy him? Hasn't he ever been disappointed? Chen Qiuniang said slowly, throwing away her bold speculation. On the one hand, she wanted to confirm this speculation, and on the other hand, she also ruthlessly exposed the conspiracy of the nine major families.
"You-" Ye Xuan's face was full of shock, his eyes were full of surprise, and he looked up at her.
Wang Quanbin brought Meng Chang's golden night pot and beautiful wife and concubine to Bianjing. Why did Zhao Kuangyin smash the night pot, it was not jealousy, jealousy. When he was in dire straits, when he was short of money and dying, this Meng Chang was sitting on a beautiful girl, and even the night pot was pure gold. Oh, Taizu is no more than Erer, although he can fight well and is extremely brave. Chen Qiuniang said with a smile.
"Be quiet, it's a crime of killing your head." Ye Xuan hurriedly said.
"I don't believe it, your Nine Great Families are afraid of this. Okay, Ye Gongzi, I don't believe you don't know Jing Liang's idea, or you have a share, right? Chen Qiuniang smiled lightly and said to Ye Xuan, as if she was talking about someone else's business. For her, of course, it's really just about history, although she's already inevitably involved in it.
At this moment, she exposed everything, maybe the nine major families will join forces to protect her, or the nine major families will not interfere with her, she can go her own way and do her own plan. RS
