Chapter 247: Does my brother feel that something is not right?
Hearing her say this, Ye Feiyu could only take it, but she only took one of them, and the other one was still returned to her, "Go back and clear your eyebrows yourself, I won't help take it." Don't say anything please, don't say that between our brothers and sisters, just tell me how to do it, and I'll do my best. As for the cost of marrying a daughter-in-law...... Yan'er, don't mention this matter again. ”
Ye Wenyan was stunned, "What do you mean?" Why not? Aren't the eldest brothers all engaged? ”
Ye Feiyu sighed, "It's engagement, and I've dealt with the other party's family a few times before, and my parents are polite and courteous in their dealings." But for some reason, I went to their house twice after the earth dragon turned over, but I didn't even let the door in, and my attitude was cold, like a stranger. Thinking about it again, he added, "It's not as good as a stranger, it's just avoided." ”
"Why is that?" She was puzzled, "What does the eldest brother do when he goes to her house?" ”
"It's just to see if the house is okay and if anyone is hurt." Ye Feiyu said, "After the earth dragon turned over, people who were close to Jingzhong would visit each other, which is human nature, but I don't know why her family has such an attitude, so I think there are some other ways to say this family business." ”
Ye Wenyan pondered for a while, and then asked Ye Feiyu: "Which family is engaged to my brother?" What is the last name? How many official products are in the family? ”
Ye Feiyu was stunned, "You don't know?" ”
She was a little embarrassed, "I ...... Probably forgot. Thinking about it again, he shook his head again, "It's not that I forgot, I can remember what happened before, I just really don't know, my father and mother haven't talked about it with me, and the family hasn't made too much of a fuss about it." ”
Ye Feiyu sighed again, "Xu is father and mother felt that you were still young at that time, so they didn't tell you about it." ”
She was a little embarrassed, "Maybe it's not that I'm young, maybe they just think that my temperament is not very stable, and I don't care about family affairs, and I think about Suwangfu all my mind." So it's useless to tell me or not, brother, don't blame me. ”
Ye Feiyu reached out and rubbed her head, "It's not weird. We were very good in the past, and we are very good now, and my brother is very relieved to see you sitting here and talking. My family affair was given by my father three years ago, and the daughter of the Yu family in Lin'an City was two years younger than me, named Yu Xuanji. ”
"The Yu family?" Ye Wenyan thought for a while, but still shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, but I remember that when I first talked about this family matter, although my father and mother didn't mention which family the other party was in front of me, it seemed that my mother was not very satisfied, and she disliked their small family, so she also argued with my father about it." Then how did it come to fruition? What kind of products are they in the house? ”
"Six pins." Ye Feiyu said, "Her father Yu Changwen is the head of the Criminal Department, and he is working under Jiang Shangshu. Yu Xuanji is the daughter of the Yu family, and there are three sisters below. ”
"The head of the Criminal Department? Six products? Ye Wenyan frowned when he heard this. Although she is not very sensitive to official status or anything, she does not think that it is difficult for small officials to marry high-ranking families. But she has such an idea because she comes from a later generation, and the class status is no longer too obvious, but people still value it very much in this era.
The eldest son of the first-rank general's mansion ordered the daughter of the six-rank official's family, and normally the six-rank official could not reach a portal like the general's mansion, and even the children rarely played together. Criminal Department, isn't this family a thread drawn by Jiang Shangshu? Simply think that the Yu family is decent and the daughter is also virtuous? If that were the case, she would really have to look up at her father, whom she had never met.
But her intuition told her that this thing was not as beautiful as she thought.
Ye Feiyu continued to speak to her: "Mother really doesn't like it, and she doesn't feel that the door is inappropriate at all, Mother just thinks that the father is too cautious and wronged his child. And don't let me participate in the palace exam, and don't let me marry the girl who is the right person, when will I get it carefully? But my father also has his reason, when the night family was in power, it was not a day or two that the court was afraid of it, and he often said that if the night family was prosperous, the court would definitely feel that it was a great threat. So my father didn't let me take the palace exam, let alone practice martial arts, but even a civil official didn't want me to do it. In the future, there will be at most a shadow official, and a mediocre life is the best. So he likes the Yu family, because the Yu family is a small official, or idle, the daughter of the Yu family is said to be quiet and virtuous, and his father has seen it once and feels very satisfied. ”
Ye Wenyan was a little angry when he heard it, "Have you seen it once?" How does that tell what's good? When I met, I had the heart to pretend to be quiet and virtuous, not to mention that it was just said. That means that the time he saw it, he didn't even see Wen Jing Xianshu, and it was probably not even a word, so he glanced at it from a distance, and at most he could see whether he looked good or not. As for the personality or something, he didn't know anything at all. ”
She said here and waved her hand, "I'm not looking at that Miss Yu family, I don't know her, so I don't want to make any comments about her, I'm just looking at our father." ”
Ye Wenyan tried hard to recall that father, and he could recall many lock things, but he was not too impressed.
Because his father was away all the year round, especially in the next few years, when his grandfather was in poor health when he was old, many military affairs were handed over to him, and he became more and more busy, and rarely had a vacation to return to Beijing.
Whenever he can return to Beijing on time, he will either accompany Mu or live in a camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and set aside time to catch up with old friends in Beijing. These children have too little contact with their fathers.
"Brother, how many times a year can you see your father?"
Ye Feiyu didn't understand why she asked, but she still replied, "Three times at most." Once for the New Year, once for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and once in the summer, I came back once, but there was no more. And every time I come back, I will stay at home for three or five days at most, and then I will live in a camp on the outskirts of Beijing. It is said that when I was a child, I met a lot, and my mother used to say that my father liked to hold me very much, and even held me on his lap when he ate. Unfortunately, I was too young at that time to have no impression at all. ”
"So, we don't know much about that father, do we?"
Ye Feiyu frowned, "Yan'er, what do you mean by this?" ”
She shook her head, "It doesn't mean anything, it's just that there are some things that I didn't think about before, and now that I think about it, there seem to be many things that can't stand to scrutinize." She gave Ye Feiyu a few examples - "For example, if the old lady wants to take away Ye Lianmian, will she give it to him if she says she wants to take it away?" It was his daughter, not to mention that his mother still disagreed at that time. Besides, I don't let you participate in the palace examination, you have passed the township examination, you are obviously a good seedling, why don't you let you go to the palace examination? Just because I'm afraid that the court will be jealous of the night family? If the court is really jealous, it will be good if it doesn't give you fame when the time comes, and the palace exam papers will not be given to you, as for him pressing your future like this? ”
The more she spoke, the more energetic she became, "My father has been jealous a lot, but my grandfather can ask for the relatives of His Royal Highness Sixth for me, and he only thinks about fulfilling me." Also, the most critical point, a question I have always wanted to ask, who told him that if he wants to keep the night family peaceful, our generation can't be too top-notch? Surely not grandfather, right? ”
Ye Feiyu was also stunned, his sister's words were asked one by one, and he was a little suspicious of life when he asked.
Yes, who told his father to suppress their children, although his grandfather also knew that the Ye family could not be too top-notch, but he also remembered that his grandfather said that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and if they want to be promising, they will go to the test for fame, even if they really have the ability to lead soldiers to fight, it is not impossible to study the art of war, pick up knives and guns.
What the court thinks is a matter for the court, if you really don't want to use the night family anymore, you will naturally take away the roll of the night family's child, and you will naturally not fall in love with the night family's child's ability. But these eliminated things should be done by the imperial court, and the Ye family doesn't have to do all these things themselves, and the future of their children and grandchildren will be ruined.
How did he come to his father and crush their children so badly?
Seeing that Ye Feiyu didn't speak, Ye Wenyan put forward another key: "Brother, these thoughts were instilled by the old lady to my father, right?" So let me make a bold guess, is the eldest sister's family affair not much better? What kind of family is she promised? ”
Ye Feiyu told her, "Five products." ”
She almost laughed angrily, "But this is really a marriage." Men can marry low, but women generally marry high, even if they don't marry too high, they have to be similar to their own family. Of course, if the eldest sister and the son of the five-grade official family are really affectionate and righteous, or if the son has a good future and a bright future, it is indeed worth considering, and I didn't say the previous words. But brother, you tell me that when my father ordered this family business for his eldest sister, did he think about this? ”
Ye Feiyu shook her head in embarrassment, "No, this family affair was not even chosen by my father, but by the old lady." At that time, I heard them talking, and the old lady said that it would be dangerous for Qingmei to marry too high to the Ye family, so it must be married low, the lower the better, so as to give the court an attitude and prove to the court that the Ye family has no ambitions. The old lady also said that the low door is easy to handle, and if she marries Qingmei in the future, she must be able to say it at home, and no one will show her face. ”
As he spoke, he recalled the original incident, and then said, "Actually, it's not just Qingmei's family affairs, my family affairs are also the old lady Zhang Luo's, and they use almost a set of words, and my father just listens to her." ”
"Does my brother feel that something is wrong?"
Ye Feiyu sighed bitterly, "I know what you mean, and I know it in my own heart. My father listened too much to the old lady, and never cared about any requests, as long as the old lady mentioned it, he would nod his head, including our relatives. But my mother said that there was a reason why my father was like this......
