Chapter 30
After being silent for a while, Mrs. Ye took a sip of tea, observed Ye Jiao, and saw that her face did not change, and sat quietly on the chair, waiting patiently.
I nodded in my heart, and after seeing it, it really smoothed out my temperament.
Wiping the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, Mrs. Ye said solemnly: "Three girls, there is a booklet here, you can take a look." ”
The old woman came over and handed over Ye Jiao, and Ye Jiao flipped through the booklet, which recorded the age and family background of some people.
She silently looked up at Old Madam Ye and was silent.
Old Madam Ye said slowly: "There are some unmarried men recorded here, and there are some portraits, if you can see them, find a day for you to meet!" ”
Ye Jiao hesitated for a moment, and said with a chuckle: "Grandmother, can I make some requests?" ”
Old Madam Ye's face changed slightly, she looked at Ye Jiao with exploratory eyes, and said in a stern tone: "Say it!" ”
Ye Jiao didn't care about Old Madam Ye's exploration and warning, and said softly: "I want to marry far away from the capital." ”
Old Madam Ye froze in shock, and then found her voice and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?" ”
"Yes."
"You have a reason to convince me."
Ye Jiao lowered her eyebrows and avoided Old Madam Ye's scrutinizing gaze.
"I want to leave this sad place, and the gaze here makes me uncomfortable."
Old Madam Ye was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect this reason, and persuaded her: "If you get married, do you know that you will be wronged in the future, and if something happens, you will have no place to live, you have to think about it." ”
Liang Yishao clenched her handkerchief nervously, although the things that Jiao'er had analyzed before made her very uneasy, but if her daughter married outside, she would not be able to see her daughter for half her life, and this dilemma made her feel very tormented.
It would be nice to discuss it with the prime minister, why would you listen to Jiao'er with a fever.
"Jiao'er, let's not ......."
"Mother," Ye Jiao looked at Liang Yishao with a firm look.
Liang Yishao was stunned, silent, just let it go, since it is what her daughter wants, let her be!
"Grandmother, I think about it, this drunken gold fan in the capital is too tempting, I'm afraid I'll think about it again."
It seems that the three girls are afraid of indulging in glory and wealth again.
looked at Liang Yishao, and saw that she didn't have any opinions, so Old Madam Ye didn't ask her.
looked at Ye Jiao with relief, this pampered and humiliated, calm and self-contained performance, if she hadn't sent someone to check, Old Madam Ye really thought that the three girls had been dropped.
It can be seen how shocking what Ye Jiao did before, she figured it out casually, except for Liang Yishao, no one in this house believed what she said.
If it weren't for Ye Jiao's honest stay in the courtyard these days, the Ye family would barely have changed their opinion of her, otherwise the people in the Ye Mansion would think that she was going to hold back her big moves.
"Okay!" Mrs. Ye agreed, and she inevitably felt a little reluctant in her heart, if she really got married, she might not be able to see each other for the rest of her life.
"Thank you, grandmother," Ye Jiao saluted, the beads touched, and the thin silver tassels hanging from her sideburns shook out a little soft halo.
Old Madam Ye closed her eyes, waved her hand, and asked them to leave.
The two mothers and daughters were silent all the way, watching Ye's mother return to the yard sadly, Ye Jiao, who was a little sad, kicked the pebble, leaned against a peach blossom tree, and the fluttering peach petals slowly fell.
Ye Jiao looked up at this peach blossom tree, Liang Yishao likes peach blossoms, because they met under the peach blossoms, so Ye Shouyun planted a lot of peach trees next to Liang Yishao's yard in order to please his sweetheart, and even her yard did not let go.
Stunned in her heart, Ye Jiao said lonely: "If I don't leave the capital, I won't be able to be me, so, I'm sorry, forgive me for my selfishness." ”
"What's more, you will live better without my drag."
It's not for herself, Ye Jiao can't deny this.
Yue Qiao stood far away and looked at the girl, what is wrong with the girl, she came out of the old lady's yard and was not energetic.
Thinking that today was the day for her to go home to visit her relatives, she was very excited, and when the girl returned to the room, she would talk to the girl.
The stunned mood faded like a tide, Ye Jiao calmed down, reached out to catch the petals, tilted her head and thought about it, and said: "If a man is reliable, the sow will go up the tree, and he has to find a way to make money, and he can live a harmonious and beautiful life after he gets married." ”
After thinking for a moment, Ye Jiao slapped her palm and said, "Writing a novel, the handwriting is almost the same now, and no one will doubt it when writing now." ”
"What should I write?"
Pacing under the peach blossom tree, after thinking about it, I felt that it was good to write a farming novel, and I would not be rejected by today's society.
When I thought of doing it, I immediately went to the yard.
Back in the courtyard, spread out the paper in the study, hanging in the air and delaying the pen.
Worriedly, I put down my pen, sat on the chair, propped my chin and thought: I don't know how to farm! How to write.
Yue Qiao happened to come in, bent down and said, "Girl, the slave is going home to visit relatives today." ”
"Go ahead!" After speaking, he suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes flowed, and he smiled brightly and said, "Yueqiao!" I'll go with you, too. ”
"Ah???h
"I haven't been to the countryside yet, and I want to experience it."
"But girl."
Ye Jiao said, "You don't want to." ”
"No, girl, it's because in two days it will be the day of the princess's banquet."
knocked on the door of his head, and said in annoyance: "I forgot, forget it, you go!" ”
Lowering his eyes and looking at the blank paper, he said helplessly: "I can only wait for Yueqiao to come back and ask if she can farm." ”
A pride and ambition went down the drain.
……
"One, two, three......" The silver tickets fell, and Ye Jiao counted them three times, but there was no more one.
His fingers swept off the broken silver, picked up the gold hairpin again, and looked at the neatly arranged gold and silver jewelry on the futon.
Taking stock of her small vault, Ye Jiao frowned sadly, and said to the gold, silver and jewelry: "You have grown up and must learn to make friends by yourself." ”
After speaking, he lowered his face, covered his face, and said, "I'm really crazy." ”
Lying on the futon, Ye Jiao wrenched her fingers and thought: "I have no money to look at people's faces, I have money to be an uncle, I have to be an uncle, and I have to be their father." ”
Ambitious, Ye Jiao got up, cut her hair, and was about to pack up her jewelry when there was a knock on the door.
Ye Jiao shouted suspiciously: "What's the matter, didn't you say don't come to disturb me?" ”
"Third girl, it's the eldest girl here."
Hearing this, Ye Jiao quickly packed up the silver ticket jewelry and hid it.
After tidying up the skirt and clothes, he opened the door and went out.
Walking slowly into the flower hall with small and seemingly elegant steps, I saw the woman in red with a scorching and beautiful appearance at a glance.
The girl's demeanor is elegant and generous, and her slender jade fingers are pinching the fan, which is embroidered with graceful and luxurious peony flowers, but it does not look rustic, but even more extravagant.
