Chapter 142: Cui Ying's Love (3)
After Shen Yan and Xu Jin sat down, Cui Min poured a glass of wine and bowed his hand to Shen Yan: "This glass of wine is for the eldest princess to apologize." ”
He was talking about Cui Ying.
Shen Yan and Xu Jin sat side by side at the banquet, the hairpins between the two were almost identical, both decorated with crystal stones, and when they looked at it under the candlelight, it seemed that the two of them were a pair of lovers.
Shen Yan smiled lightly and said, "Cui Shilang has already said that day, I am not a person who grasps the reason and does not let go, you don't need to worry about it." ”
Cui Min heard Shen Yan's words, drank all the wine in the cup, and said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”
Shen Yan always felt that something was wrong with this game tonight, so he stared at Xu Jin and waited for him to explain. It's a pity that she has a pair of apricot eyes and peach cheeks and red lips, and after staring at her like this, it doesn't look like she is angry but like a coquette.
Sensing Shen Yan's displeasure, Xu Jin drank a glass of wine leisurely, patted Shen Yan's hand with the hand under the table, and said softly: "Cui Shilang has something to ask you for this time." ”
Hearing this, Shen Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Cui Min opposite, waiting for his next step.
I saw Cui Min suddenly get up, looked at Shen Yan deeply, and finally arched his hand: "The minister wants to ask the eldest princess to marry the minister's sister." ”
Sure enough, there is no gossip in vain in the world. I just listened to Miss Cui's gossip during the day, and the night of retribution came! Although Shen Yan is a person who likes to listen to gossip, he is not a person who likes to mix gossip.
She doesn't like to be someone else's mouth.
Shen Yan pretended not to know, and asked lightly: "What does this mean?" ”
"The minister wants to ask the eldest princess to marry the minister's sister."
Cui Min said seriously, a pair of eyes bright and determined.
"Lonely, do you still have the right to marry?"
Shen Yan tilted his head to look at Xu Jin and asked lightly. Her eyes threw out an eye knife to Xu Jin, obviously dissatisfied with being brought to such a drinking party today.
Xu Jin took off the wine glass in Shen Yan's hand, reached out and took the teapot to pour tea for her, and explained: "Since Madame is married, as the eldest princess, she can naturally marry a low-grade woman. ”
"Who do you want Cui Ying to marry?"
Shen Yan turned his head and asked.
"Minister's colleague, the squire of the Criminal Department, Qiao Lingfeng."
Cui Min's answer was expected.
Shen Yan tapped his fingers on the table, and while thinking, he said lightly: "Although Gu is not a gossip person, there are some other rumors in his ears. It was said that Miss Cui rejected the marriage contract of Lord Cheng of Tobe. What do you want to let Lone lead such a red line now? ”
Xu Jin looked at her fingers tapping on the table, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
Her subconscious habit is the same as herself.
"The marriage contract with Cheng Gongzi was a drunken joke from my father many years ago. Who knows that it is true now. She refused to marry in public today, and it was already difficult to ride a tiger! My sister suffered a lot when she was young, and I didn't want her to marry someone she didn't like, and I didn't want to watch her live a lifetime. Even if there's a glimmer of hope, I'll give it a try. Asking for the eldest princess is the last ray of hope. ”
Cui Min's words made Shen Yan move.
Who doesn't want to marry the person she likes, it's just that the world is unpredictable, and the world makes people. Now Cui Ying has ruined this marriage and ruined her reputation.
A promise is a promise, and the person who breaks the promise is despised.
Cui Min, as the elder brother, thinks about everything for Cui Ying. Even if he put down his body and begged her, this emperor who once deliberately escaped.
"Miss Cui is willing to do this, what about Qiao Shilang?"
Shen Yan thought about it, roughly sorted out the current matter, and spoke.
Who knows, Cui Min pursed his lips and didn't answer.
Seeing his reaction like this, Shen Yan was a little amused, could it be that Qiao Lingfeng and Cui Ying were actually concubines and lovers?
So how can this red line be pulled?
If Cui Ying was forcibly stuffed to Qiao Lingfeng, wouldn't he be secretly scolded to death by Qiao Lingfeng. In that case, he is no different from the head of the Cui family.
"Cui Shilang, the marriage contract is about a love word. If one party is intentional and one party is unintentional, forcibly getting together is afraid that it will cause resentment. Qiao Shilang's character is naturally speechless. It's just that marriage still has to be happy with each other. Otherwise, Qiao Shilang is the mood of Ling Mei today. ”
Shen Yan said bitterly.
If Qiao Lingfeng was as strong as Cui Ying today, and he would directly ruin the marriage, it would be a joke.
Cui Min thought about it, glanced at Shen Yan deeply, pursed her thin lips, and said, "What the eldest princess said is good. Marriage is still good for both lovers. ”
For some reason, Shen Yan always felt that his words were quite meaningful, but he didn't think much about it.
At this moment, a small cry came from behind the screen in the wing.
Xu Jin's eyes lit up, the wine glass in his hand was placed on the table with a bang, and with his hand as a bow, he quickly shot a chopstick at the screen, bringing a scream, which made Cui Min look back violently.
Between the lightning and flint, before he could make a sound, the chopsticks were inserted straight into the gap in the screen, faintly playing.
"Come out!"
Xu Jin's thin lips opened lightly, his eyes were ruthless, and he said coldly.
The words fell, and a woman in Tsing Yi slowly flashed out from behind the screen, her eyes were red, and her voice muttered dissatisfaction. If the chopsticks were stronger, they would hit her.
The woman in Tsing Yi who came out was none other than Cui Ying.
Her facial features are bright and intense, even if she is dressed in green clothes, she can't hide that delicate feeling. At this time, the circles under my eyes were red, and I felt pity for them, which made people feel a desire to protect.
Such a beauty in the world can only be suppressed by Concubine Xu Yu.
Shen Yan said secretly, Qiao Lingfeng is really a blessing.
"Shadow, why are you here!"
After Cui Min saw Cui Ying, the whole person was not good, and hurriedly said to Shen Yan: "Eldest princess, the courtier sister has no intention of offending ......"
"Cui Shilang, you don't have to say more."
Shen Yan chuckled and shook his head, looked at Cui Ying's stubborn eyes, and said lightly: "There are some words that only my daughter's family can hear, Cui Shilang will retreat with the horse for a while." I'd like to talk to Ling Mei. ”
Hearing Shen Yan's words, Xu Jin got up and shook his sleeves, left the seat, and glanced at Shen Yan to show his head.
"Cui Shilang, please."
Xu Jin walked to the door and greeted Cui Min, who was still in place. Cui Min was worried about Cui Ying, and after struggling for two moments to figure it out, he also left with Xu Jin.
The eldest princess will not be unfavorable to Cui Ying. It wouldn't be good for him to stay here. It's better to let go and let Cui Ying get out of his own chance.
Suddenly, only Shen Yan and Cui Ying were left in the room, standing and sitting, and the atmosphere was cold and embarrassing.
Shen Yan lowered his head and poured a glass of wine, got up and walked in front of her, and handed it to Cui Ying.
"The conversation between Cui Shilang and me, I think you should be able to hear it clearly behind the screen. After all, this matter is also your marriage, and I want to hear what you mean. No, let me be a good person in vain. ”
