Chapter 15: Parting for a while
"Old man, madam, so you are here!"
A member of the Xia family, who had been hiding on the side for a long time, was instructed by Father Xia, and immediately pretended to look like he had just run from a long distance, and said to Father Xia breathlessly: "Old man, the old lady told the little one to come to you and Mrs., saying that the old ancestor was seriously ill, please go back quickly, old man." β
"Ahh How could this be, what happened to her, ancestor? β
Father Xia was shocked and pretended to ask the visitor, Xia Yingying heard it, and ran forward anxiously and said, "You said that the ancestor was seriously ill?" β
The family nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, eldest miss." The old man sent someone to ask the old lady and the old man to go back quickly, and said, I must ask the eldest lady to go back too, the old ancestor was seriously ill and in a coma, and he kept thinking about you in the coma. β
Xia Yingying's eyes turned red suddenly, and she said with tears in her eyes: "When I left, my ancestor was fine, why is he sick." Dad, mother, let's go back to Hongfeng Lake. β
Ye Xiaotian watched coldly, and thought to himself: "That old grandmother of the Xia family is really sick?" Why is it so coincidental, isn't it a plan set up by the uncle to take away his daughter? Probably not, how can anyone who is a junior casually joke about his elders. β
However, even if he can conclude that the old lady of the Xia family is seriously ill, nine out of ten percent is false, and he can't point it out unreasonably as an outsider, but there is a one-in-10,000 chance that it will be true, and he will be pointed out by a thousand people, so he can only remain silent at this time.
Xia Yingying turned around with red circles in her eyes and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Brother Xiaotian, I ......"
Ye Xiaotian bowed his head and said: "I understand, the coming day is long, you go back to visit the old man first." Well...... Why don't I come with you? β
Xia Yingying said happily: "Wow! β
Father Xia frowned, and before he could politely refuse, another person behind everyone raised his voice and said, "Does Ye Juren live here?" β
The crowd thought that there was another annunciation, and turned around impatiently. But I saw a green coat and soap hat standing on the side of the road and asking loudly.
Ye Xiaotian took a few steps forward and asked, "The contemptible person is Ye Xiaotian, but I don't know what advice this errand official has?" β
The man hurriedly crossed his hands and returned the salute, saying, "It turned out that Ye Juren was in front of him, and the villain was rude." At three o'clock tomorrow, the political envoy and the two elders summoned the people of the imperial examination at the yamen of the political envoy, and asked Ye Juren not to miss the time to see. β
Ye Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I'm tired!" β
The officer saluted again, and turned away. Ye Xiaotian looked at his back in a daze, and Xia Yingying understood it. He had already walked to his side lightly and said in a low voice: "Xianggong Zhongju, this is a great thing, since there are two directors to meet, Xianggong should stay in Guiyang, I will go back to visit the ancestors, and when the ancestors are better, I will come back to find you." β
Ye Xiaotian heard her call herself "Xianggong", and couldn't help but feel hot in his heart and held her hand. Nod slightly.
"Xianggong ......"
Xia Yingying wanted to speak and stopped, although she was naΓ―ve, she actually had some suspicions in her heart that her family was blaming her, but she didn't dare to take risks in this kind of thing. No matter what, I have to go back, and my heart is steady, and I swallow it back unconsciously when the doubt in my heart reaches my mouth.
She just shook Ye Xiaotian's hand tightly and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will, I will come back to you!" β
"Hmm!"
Ye Xiaotian's eyebrows raised slightly. He said in a deep voice: "Don't worry! No matter what, I'll be waiting for you! No matter what happens, I'll marry you! You are mine. You must marry me, you can only marry me! β
This sentence, Ye Xiaotian said sonorously and very loudly, Father Xia frowned when he heard it, but Mrs. Xia had a trace of joy between her eyebrows, who doesn't want her daughter to be cared for like a treasure? If it weren't for Ye Xiaotian's special identity that made him only have twenty years of dust, Mrs. Xia would really want to accept this son-in-law.
"Hmm!"
Yingying listened to Ye Xiaotian's words, her heart was sweet, there were still crystal tears flashing in her eyes, but she had already broken a smile, lowered her head, and said softly: "Last night...... It's me who is not good, I will ...... in the future I will definitely try to be a good wife. β
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said softly: "You are very good, just be yourself, who made you unique!" β
Yingying bit her lip and said, "What if...... If something happens at home, I may come back later, so ...... If there is a suitable woman, you can take a concubine. β
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "I ......"
Yingying glared at her pretty eyes again and said, "However, only one is allowed!" β
When the two came back all the way this morning, Ye Xiaotian had already explained to Yingying that he was in a hurry to marry a wife and have children, and Yingying certainly understood the importance of passing on the lineage to a person and a family. After yesterday's events, her mind seemed to have matured a lot overnight, and she also considered that no matter whether the old ancestor's illness was true or not, it would not be easy for her to leave again:
If the ancestor is really sick, as the only and most beloved great-granddaughter of the ancestor, she is bound to serve the decoction until the ancestor recovers, otherwise she can leave with confidence.
If this is the family's intention to trick her back under the guise of the ancestors, of course they will not let her leave lightly, and it will probably take a while to solve these things. In addition, he didn't satisfy Lang Jun last night, and he felt sorry, so he said this.
Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly: "I ......"
Xia Yingying hurriedly said: "It's decided, I'm the eldest woman, I have the final say!" β
Ye Xiaotian closed his mouth again. Xia Yingying said: "Also, I'm not watching from your side, you are not allowed to go out to mess with flowers and grass, and you are not allowed to wander the Qinglou." If you follow the example of my uncles and brothers, I will ...... I'll punish you for never touching me!" β
Xia Yingying stood on tiptoe after speaking, regardless of the fact that her father and mother and so many brothers were by her side, she leaned over and kissed Ye Xiaotian lightly on the cheek, and then turned around and ran away.
Father Xia didn't know what the two children were whispering together, only to see his daughter's affectionate kiss, an old face turned black, and when he saw his daughter coming back, he immediately pulled his big face and said, "Let's go!" β
Ye Xiaotian stroked her cheeks, watching Yingying being surrounded by her cousins and drifting away, it seemed that she could still feel the gentle taste of the sweet lips on her cheeks. Love and separation, although it is not a jar of alcohol, sweet and sour, it is also drunk......

In the early morning of the next day, it was still three minutes before the hour, and thirty people rushed to the door of the Guizhou political envoy. Undergraduate Xie Yuan's surname is Tu Fang Lin, as soon as everyone arrived, they gathered around him and said hello to Tu Xie Yuan, Tu Xie Yuan had a smile that was more ugly than crying, and returned the salute to everyone one by one.
The situation in Guizhou is special, in the Central Plains, the official position of a county, if you don't have a Jinshi background, it will not be your turn to do it, but in Guizhou, because the place is barren, it is difficult to make political achievements, and from time to time you have to pay for it, and the Tusi lords come to take the lead again, so no Jinshi is willing to come to this kind of place to be an official.
Limited to the special situation of the local area, the imperial court is also a special case, many grassroots officials are directly selected from the province's people, but as a province's Xie Yuan, the province's first place in the examination, it is impossible to serve on the spot, he will definitely be sent to Beijing to participate in the examination for the jinshi.
But even though it is the state of Jieyuan, once it is won nationwide, especially competing with those students in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the results will not be enough at all. Therefore, he is the provincial Jieyuan, and he can't get the affordable officials in this province to do, and if he goes to Beijing to compete, he will inevitably lose his name to Sun Mountain, so how can Tu Jieyuan be happy.
Xu Boyi pretended to be happy to the hapless Tu Xie Yuan, and when he turned his head, he happened to see Ye Xiaotian wearing a green robe, accompanied by Mao Wenzhi, walking this way.
Today is to visit the provincial political envoy at the government office, Ye Xiaotian did not let Yaoyao and Hum Ha two generals follow, so he left Hua Yunfei at home to watch them, and only brought Mao Wenzhi out. As soon as Xu Boyi saw Ye Xiaotian, he immediately greeted him, and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, congratulations!" β
Ye Xiaotian glanced at him coldly and said, "Ye is at least ten years younger than you, this brother doesn't dare to be a brother, so don't get close to me." β
Xu Boyi didn't think it was wrong, and said with a smile: "Yes, you are young, young is good, young is good, young and handsome, so you can hug the thighs of the Xia family in Hongfeng Lake, otherwise, how can you be crowned by a monkey today, and you will get a famous name lightly and skillfully?" β
Ye Xiaotian looked him up and down, and said coldly: "Don't forget to take medicine this morning, right?" Or as early as when he was in Huxian, he was beaten by someone and his brain, how can he talk nonsense? β
"What nonsense am I talking about?" Xu Boyi saw that everyone was gathered around to see the excitement, and he had the intention to embarrass Ye Xiaotian in front of everyone, and raised his voice even higher: "You dare to say that you didn't climb the eldest lady of the Xia family in Hongfeng Lake, Xia Yingying?" β
Ye Xiaotian nodded and said, "That's right!" Yingying and I are in love, what's in your way? β
Xu Boyi said: "The Xia family of Hongfeng Lake is ranked among the eight King Kongs, Miss Xia is the daughter of the old man's family, if it is not for the help of the Xia family, with your so-called talent, you are qualified to be a lifter?" β
Ye Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "You say...... The Xia family of Hongfeng Lake is the toast of the Eight King Kongs? β
Xu Boyi sneered at him, and said with some envy and mockery: "You don't want to tell everyone, you don't know the true identity of Miss Xia at all, right?" β
Ye Xiaotian raised his hand and patted his forehead gently, muttering to himself: "Eight King Kongs, the Xia family ......"
Suddenly, Ye Xiaotian's heart was full of emotion. He didn't expect that the pear girl in his mind, Yingying, who was later reluctantly promoted by him to the granddaughter of a village chief, actually had such a noble background, and was actually a wealthy lady like Zhan Ning'er!
: It's the end of the month, and I'm looking for a monthly pass, a recommended ticket!.
