The heron often perches early, and the autumn flowers fall even later. The child swept the path, yesterday and the deceased.

Since the last time the Guanyin Temple was separated, Ye Zhiqiu has never seen "Lin Yanning" again. At first, she was still entangled in how to deal with himself when she met him in the temple, and she was worried about his injury when she saw that he didn't come to the temple.

The next day she received a letter. A sycamore tree was drawn on the envelope, and there were only four words in the letter: Don't read it.

The sender of the letter is unknown, and the letter is not signed.

Only she knew in her heart who was writing the letter, as if it was a secret that the two of them knew.

A few days later, the disciples of the temple learned the news from their master: the Lin family's sister-in-law would not come to the temple again.

Xie Wan, Liu Yan and other people who fell in love with Lin Yanning were disappointed, but no one was surprised. After all, everyone knows: this day will come. Lin Yanning didn't need Qiu Yu to take the test to gain fame, and most of the rest of the children didn't need it either. is nothing more than an ambitious person who wants to prove that he is not the "second ancestor" who only relies on the power of his family through his own way of gaining fame.

Before the arrival of the autumn season, the school temple had been closed. The men of each family prepare for the imperial examination in the autumn period; The rules of the middle school for the girl to be married; There are also Ye Zhiqiu, who are not at all, only at home. The strange thing is: for some reason, Ye An and Mrs. Ye didn't let Ye Ruochen participate in the Autumn Festival. As a result, Ye Ruochen had no choice but to follow Ye Zhiqiu in his grandfather's house and waste the years.

The autumn leaves of Jinjing Wutong are yellow, and the bead curtain does not roll up the frost at night.

The tenth day of the ninth lunar month, the birthday of the current emperor Zhao Sizhuo. On that day, the imperial city was full of lights and was very lively. The important ministers of the court and their wives entered the palace to celebrate the emperor.

Because Ye Zhiqiu and Ye Ruochen's birthdays were two days later, the Ye family has always been low-key, and only invited relatives and friends of the grandfather Xu family to come for a small gathering. It is said to be a birthday banquet, but it is more like a family banquet.

After lunch, adults drink tea and narrate in the main hall. Xu Ziru's eldest daughter, Xu Jiezhi, is over 18 years old, and many matchmakers have recently visited the door, which makes the Xu family tired of it.

From the names of the two daughters of the Xu family, you can see the love of Xu Ziru and his wife for their daughter. The eldest daughter Xu Jiezhi and the youngest daughter Xu Jiezhi. Taken from the Book of Poetry "National Style, Shao Feng, Yan Yan": Yan Yan is flying, and the jaw of Jie. The son of the son is far from returning. They hope that their daughters can fly freely like Yan'er.

Xu Ziru and his wife were reluctant to let their daughter out of the cabinet and wanted to stay by their side for a few more years. I hope that my daughter will have more leisure days in her mother's house, because once a woman gets married, the quality of her life after marriage depends on whether her in-laws' family gets along well. But many families in the imperial city want to marry the Xu family, who is a century-old scholar, and they are afraid of falling behind, so they compete to hire a matchmaker.

The two cousins were listless in Ye Zhiqiu's boudoir courtyard.

"My parents don't want me to get married, and I don't want to get married. Why should outsiders interfere in my marriage? Xu Jiezhi's tone was resentful, revealing anger in his incomprehension. She was wearing a moon-white background sprinkled pattern road flower skirt, a silver silk embroidered long skirt with a water green background, and a goose-yellow satin wind hair thin smoke veil. The black green silk, the head is chic and concentric, the light and slow cloud temples are inserted with a red jade bead hairpin, the waist is tied to the Ruyi waist, and there is a peacock green bottom silver silk thread embroidered lotus purse, and the feet are wearing jade and lotus embroidered shoes, and the whole person is beautiful.

Xu Haozhi is the same year as Ye Zhiqiu, a few months older, and he is the most gentle and demure of the three. With a white apple face, he is wearing a light cyan embroidered edging small stand-up collar middle shirt, a mopping the floor and embroidered phoenix skirt, and a tulle and cocoon brocade. Flowing long hair, a chic round bun on his head, a waist tie, a purse with folded branches and flowers hanging on it, and a gold digging cloud red incense embroidered shoes on his feet. Although her appearance is not as beautiful as her sister, her temperament is graceful and quiet, dignified and generous.

"Sister's situation today, I must be in the same situation with Zhiqiu two years later."

"Don't be discouraged two sisters, haven't you agreed yet~"

"But the Japanese matchmaker comes to the door, and there must be a suitable family affair in the near future."

"Big sister has her own crush?" Ye Zhiqiu's sudden words scared the two cousins a lot.

"What nonsense is my sister talking about......" Xu Jiezhi's face turned red and looked nervous.

"Sister..... She .......... "Xu Haozhi's words were swallowed.

Seeing this situation, Ye Zhiqiu knew it in his heart. Although she and her two cousins did not study together, Mu spent her vacation days at the Xu family. is still very familiar with the temperament of the two. Although the three are not intimate, their relationship has always been very good. Just be blunt.

"Why didn't he come to the door and ask for a marriage? Is sister unrequited? ”

"It's not ......." Xu Jie subconsciously retorted, and then realized that he had admitted it. Simply leave it all out.

He ..... It was the first batch of students at the beginning of Daddy's school. Because of the poverty of the family, his father not only did not restrain him, but also let him do chores in the school to earn some money to supplement the family. Two years ago, he was promoted in the autumn and did not continue to participate in the palace examination to gain fame. But he returned to Xufu School and served as a master. My father and I tried to persuade him, but he still didn't change his mind. Xu Jiezhi sighed, his disappointment overflowing.

"Sister, Master Li also wants to repay his father's kindness. Dad received a letter from Taifu three years ago and went to the temple. The master in the school is not as good as the poor disciples who can't afford to be restrained. Li Fuzi wants to pass on his father's 'education and classlessness', so that more poor children can go to school. Xu Haozhi was afraid that his sister would be sad, so he couldn't help but comfort him.

"Oh~? It seems that this Master Li has a noble character and is in love with his eldest sister. Isn't that a good thing? Uncle is not just a person who comes from a family. ”

"Daddy and Mom don't know yet. As soon as there were many people who came to propose marriage, I was a little flustered. A few days ago, I asked him to propose to his father. Can.... He said..... Not worthy of me. Just tell me to find the right person. Xu Jiezhi's beautiful face was full of sorrow, and tears flashed in his eyes.

Ye Zhiqiu also felt sorry for his cousin. It's a pity that a lover can't end up married because of his family background. She thought that she might be able to marry someone she liked in the future, and she felt a little sad in her heart. The man under the sycamore tree subconsciously came to mind, looking at her with a smile in the corner of his eyes.........

Ye Zhiqiu realized what he was thinking. "Wow~" stood up suddenly, shaking his head like a rattle. He said to himself, "Impossible..... He.... No way! ”

When Xu Jieyi heard this, he cried out with a "whimper".

Xu Haozhi: "Good sister, don't stimulate her anymore." ”

Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, "Big sister, don't cry~ I didn't mean ......."

"My sister has always been smart, and even you think it's impossible. It seems that I have no fate with Master Li, and my love is broken here....." Xu Jie's tears rolled, crying so sadly.

Xu Haozhi on the side also had red eyes, lowered his head and pressed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

Ye Zhiqiu was annoyed that what he said was inappropriate and was misunderstood by the two. But she was really talking about herself, and it was hard to explain. had to beg for mercy: "Good sister, I was wrong." Don't cry~"

Xu Jiezhi, who was crying like a tearful person, ignored her.

She had an idea in her mind and proposed, "Why don't you talk to my mother first?" Let her come forward to discuss a thing or two with her uncle and aunt, do you think this is good? ”

The crying stopped abruptly, and Ye Zhiqiu breathed a sigh of relief. The two cousins stared at her with wide eyes. "Will it work?"

"If it works, you have to try it to find out. The worst outcome is not the same now: you marry someone else's wife. Even if you can't try, forget it, but the big sister regrets it. ”

The tearful man nodded, looking at her with blazing eyes.

Ye Zhiqiu was a little numb when he saw it, so he had to raise his steps and go to the main hall to invite his mother to come.
