In the living room of the Cao family, it was extremely quiet at the moment, everyone stood silently, and the atmosphere seemed a little stagnant.

Ye Yu's appearance undoubtedly brought pressure to everyone in the Cao family.

Ye Yu entered the living room of the Cao family twice, but the feeling to everyone was completely different.

Especially Cao Yuanwai and the two sons-in-law, standing beside them, they didn't even dare to breathe.

You must know that the young man in front of him, at the beginning, they made a lot of difficulties and examined the school, but now if there is a disappointment, he can immediately copy the Cao family.

Cao Yuanwai has always been proud of his nephew Wang Xian is the local prefect, and now Wang Xian has been imprisoned, and the crime of privately minting counterfeit coins can be wiped out if investigated.

And his Cao family happens to be within these three clans, so if he is not careful, a big disaster will come.

These days, Cao Yuanwai's family is panicked, and they are worried all day long about whether this Lord Qincha will find someone to come to the door.

I never thought that I would really find the door tonight, but when Cao Yuanwai heard the voice of the housekeeper Cao Da, he was almost not frightened.

Cheng Cheng went to greet him with fear, only to find out that it was a false alarm, but how could he be lazy when Qin Cha came, so everyone looked solemn and uneasy.

At this time, a servant brought the boiled decanting tea, and after pouring it full, it was respectfully placed in front of Ye Yu.

The lone wolf beside him habitually came to the front to test the poison with a silver needle, and then calmly stood behind Ye Yu.

Ye Yu picked up the teacup, first rinsed his mouth, and then drank a few sips of tea.

Raising his eyes and seeing that everyone in the Cao family was silent, Ye Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't be formal, please sit outside Cao!" ”

"The adults are in front, how dare the little old man sit ......"

"Hey, Cao Yuan is outside, Ye is just a common man when he takes off his official uniform, and you are an elder, how can there be a reason for the younger generation to sit and the elder to stand?"

Cao Yuan saw Ye Yusheng's fist, so he no longer shirked: "The old man will rely on the old man and sell the old, and he will be the ...... in second place."

"Ye Mou disturbed everyone's dreams late at night, I'm really ashamed, I hope Cao Yuan Wai Haihan is it!"

Ye Yu's words were sincere, after all, coming to the door in the middle of the night was indeed a bit abrupt.

"Lord Ye is polite, it is already a great honor for my Cao family to come to the cold house...... Cao Yuanwai's words drove the acceptance of everyone in the Cao family.

Ye Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The drunkard is making trouble and vomiting, it's really uncomfortable!" ”

"Adults are young, but they should also pay attention to their bodies to ......"

If it weren't for the many toasts of Wei Guogong, Ye would not have ended up so wolf. However, in front of Ye, the Duke of Wei Guogong sued your Cao family! ”

"What? Where did Lord Ye start with this? Cao Yuanwai panicked when he heard this, Huo Ran stood up and asked Ye Yu.

Ye Yu hesitated for a moment, then asked softly: "Wei Guogong said that your Cao family has a marriage contract with the Shi family, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"Engagement? My lord, this matter is purely a joke and cannot be real......"

"Jokes? What does this mean? ”

Ye Yu was interested when he heard this, he was just a joke, he never thought that there was such a thing.

At the banquet in Shifu before, he just heard Shi Hao say this vaguely, but he didn't know what the situation was.

However, Shi Hao's remark of being a dragonfly is undoubtedly hinting at the relationship between Miss Cao Jiasan and the Shi family.

Ye Yu only understood this after drinking, but he didn't take this matter to heart, after all, he didn't think about the third miss of the Cao family.

You must know that if he hadn't left Beijing by order this time, he Ye Yu would have been ready to handle the marriage. In this case, where is there still the heart to mess with flowers.

But tonight is really a coincidence of ghosts and gods, since you have arrived at this Cao family, it is better to figure out this mystery.

Cao Yuanwai hesitated for a while, and then said solemnly: "Please listen to me slowly......"

Cao Yuanwai told Ye Yu very seriously about the relationship between the Cao family and the Shi family.

It turns out that this Cao Yuanwai's real name is Cao Zan, the ancestor is Cao Bin, the founding general of the Great Song Dynasty, and his great-grandfather is Cao Tong, that is, one of the eight immortals in later generations, Cao Guo's uncle.

The Cao family was originally a nobleman of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was once prominent. However, the change of generations, coupled with the southward migration of Song Shiguozuo, caused the Cao family to fall into the middle of the road.

Until Cao Zan's generation, it was no different from civilians. But Cao Zan has a good way of doing business, and he can be regarded as a wealthy party with considerable prestige.

At that time, Cao Zan's father Cao Hong and Shi Hao were equal friends, because of their friendship, there was a joke, saying that if the children and grandchildren are of the same sex, they should make brothers and sisters, and if they are of the opposite sex, they will be allowed to marry.

Cao Hong has an only son, Cao Zan, and Shi Hao is also a man, so the two families also have a tacit understanding with each other.

In the third generation, there was a difference between men and women between the two families, Cao Zan actually gave birth to three daughters in a row, but the Shi family was all men.

If it is according to the rules of the year, the marriage of this grandchild should be done according to the rules, and this Shi Kelang should marry Cao Zan's daughter.

But what is very unpleasant is that the appearance of Cao Zan's first two daughters is really difficult to compliment, so Shi Kelang repented of the marriage in public.

However, when Shi Kelang learned that Cao Zan's third daughter was talented, he hoped to marry the third lady of the Cao family.

But this time Cao Zan was unwilling, although this rule was set by his father's jokes, but his daughter was not a commodity on the street, how could he let others pick and choose.

Moreover, Cao Xueying also saw that Shi Kelang was a playboy who judged people by his appearance, so she was also very repulsive about it.

Therefore, the matter was delayed again and again, and finally it was over.

After all, this joke rule has not been written, Shi Hao is still alive, but Cao Hong has been dead for many years.

In this way, there is no evidence to find someone to reason.

Therefore, although Shi Hao is now in a transcendent position, he cannot overpower others.

After all, he and Cao Hong were close friends back then, so he was also very tolerant of his old friends' descendants.

After listening to Cao Zan's words, Ye Yu finally understood the reason for this matter.

This can also explain the reason why Cao Xueying used him as a shield when the Lanting Festival was held.

Ye Yu arched his hand at Cao Zan and said, "It turns out that Cao Yuanwai is behind the door, but Ye is rude......"

Cao Zan hurriedly returned the salute, and said with a panicked expression: "Lord Ye has praised it falsely, the scenery of the ancestors is no longer there, how can you talk about anything after the gate." ”

"By the way, Fang Cai Ye heard a wisp of the piano outside the courtyard, I don't know who played it in the house?" Ye Yu suddenly remembered the beautiful sound of the piano that made him recall at this time.

Cao Zan was about to speak, but was preempted by the maid Yue'er who walked in: "It's the young lady who is playing in the back garden pavilion, isn't it for my young lady to visit late at night?" ”

"Uh, this ......"

This question made Ye Yu a little embarrassed. If not, it is a bit against his will, after all, he only came here after listening to the sound of the piano.

But if you say yes, doesn't it seem that you are too Meng Lang? I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and I came to someone's house to toss around, and I am afraid it will not sound good to say.

Besides, he and this Cao Xueying are already indescribably implicated, and now if they get darker and darker, what should they do in the future?

So at this moment, Ye Yu's mood was very entangled, and he was speechless at the moment.

However, Yue'er had to appear, which made the restrained living room a lot more relaxed, but Cao Zan scolded coldly: "Nonsense, retreat!" ”

After reprimanding the maid Yue'er, Cao Zan hurriedly apologized: "The maid in the family doesn't understand the rules, and I hope Lord Ye will forgive me......"

"Uh-hehe, that's fine! Anyway! Ye Yu picked up the teacup to hide the embarrassment at the moment.

"Master Ye, wait a while, I'll let the maid go and summon Xue Ying......"

"No need, since Miss Xueying is playing Ye's tune, how can she sweep Yaxing because of Ye, Ye can go in person!" Ye Yu felt that since he came, wouldn't it seem like he was in a mood if he didn't see it?

Cao Zan nodded understandingly, hurriedly summoned the maidservant Yue'er, and led Ye Yu to the back garden pavilion.

When Ye Yu left the living room, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Father-in-law, I never thought that the Ye Gongzi who was selected at the beginning turned out to be the world-famous Ye University Scholar......" The eldest aunt's expression was relieved, and she couldn't help but sigh to herself.

The second aunt also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I think that at the beginning, the two of us were still selling their knowledge in front of him, but now I think about it, I am really ashamed!" ”

The second daughter was trembling with laughter: "Don't say it, this Lord Ye is really handsome, if it weren't for ......"

As soon as he said this, he was glared back fiercely by the second aunt, and reprimanded angrily: "What if it is not? With the talent and appearance of the third sister, he can't capture Master Ye's heart, will he take a fancy to you? ”

"Hey, I said you, and you dare to say that I ......"

As soon as he heard his daughter-in-law ridiculing him for being a man, the second aunt suddenly became angry: "What's wrong with the son, it's much better than you, a yellow-faced pig!" ”

"You! You dare to scold the old lady for being a yellow-faced pig, I, I'm not done with you! ”

“……”

"Enough! Have you had enough noise, and don't you think your home is messy enough? Seeing his son-in-law arguing with his daughter, Cao Zan felt upset.

However, the eldest son-in-law and the eldest daughter were quieter, and the eldest daughter first appeased her angry father.

Then Jian yì said: "Daddy, if this Lord Ye becomes your third son-in-law, it will be a beautiful thing, instead of arguing here, it is better to think about how to match them......"

The eldest daughter's words made a lot of sense, but Cao Zan shook her head and sighed: "Why don't you want to be like this as a father? But this kind of thing can't be forced, so let's let it be! ”

Everyone was discussing how to match Ye Yu and Cao Xueying, and at this moment, Ye Yu had followed the maid Yue'er to the back garden.

Although the back garden is not large, it is particularly fragrant, and spring is the season of blooming flowers, so there is a unique beauty in this garden.

Especially under the bright moonlight, it is even more poetic.

Under the intoxicating pavilion in the prosperous garden, the gauze lamp is glowing with a faint light, and the furnishings in the pavilion are looming.

Ye Yu could clearly see that a woman in the pavilion was sitting next to the piano and caressing her fingers, intoxicated by the rhythm and unable to extricate herself......
