21 Matters of the Heart
In the afternoon, the second uncle's mansion next door sent mint cakes, and there were portions in each courtyard, but Yuzhou Courtyard was personally delivered by Ye Fenglai.
"Young Master Tang has a heart, come in quickly." Silan invited people into the hospital and made tea for guests.
"But I'm sorry to come along with my feet." Ye Fenglai said with a smile.
He heard the crisp sound of the beaded curtain lifting, and hurriedly turned to look at the woman who came out of the room.
In summer, his clothes are thin, and Ye Congwei wears a ribbon around his waist, which shows his slender and slender figure.
Si Lan presented the pastries in the basket to the table to show her, Ye Congwei raised his eyes and said, "Cousin, don't you still remember the matter of the water steamed bun?" ”
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Ye Yu saw that he was young and couldn't get up.
It just so happened that Ye Congwei had breakfast, and there was ready-made food in the yard, so he was nosy.
What's more, the sisters and brothers of the same sect really don't need to be so polite for a bite to eat.
But afterwards, Ye Fenglai specially sent her a jade carving ornament, how could Ye Congwei accept it, and refused to return it on the spot.
After that, Ye Fenglai didn't mention it again, so he didn't come over to send anything randomly.
"Sister, don't get me wrong, I also sent it from other courtyards." Ye Fenglai hurriedly explained.
Ye Congwei was relieved at this time, sat down opposite him, and drank tea together.
She reached for a pastry, pale green, which looked especially good between her thin white fingers.
Take a bite, refreshing and slightly sweet, and the tongue is cool and silky.
"Does my sister think it's delicious?" Ye Fenglai asked softly.
Ye Congwei smiled and nodded: "Mung bean cake is commonly used in summer, I don't want this mint cake to be cooler than it." ”
"If you like it." Ye Fenglai pursed his lips and smiled, his voice gentle.
His gaze drifted lightly on her, with a hint of caution.
Si Lan, who was in charge of making tea on the side, couldn't help but quietly look at him twice.
Some things are self-evident if they don't point out, such as people who drink water and know how warm and cold they are.
Ye Congwei's heart moved slightly, and he continued to talk to Ye Feng, as if nothing happened.
………
talked about some dim sum flavors, and mentioned the Dragon Boat Festival to relieve the heat.
It wasn't until a brew of tea was diluted that Ye Fenglai didn't dare to continue to stay, so he got up and said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, he looked back, as if he was a little unsatisfied.
Because the second uncle and the old marquis are not intimate, although the two mansions are close to each other, they don't move around much on weekdays.
In the event of ancestor worship and tomb sweeping, most of the matters that need to be combined and prepared are the elders, and the juniors almost play their own games.
It is very rare for Ye Feng to have this kind of opportunity, so he came to sit on his knees and drink tea opposite.
After he left, Si Lan quickly closed the courtyard door and returned to the house, his face full of hesitation.
Ye Congwei caught a glimpse of her expression, and it was not difficult to guess her topic, so she didn't ask.
Si Lan pondered for a while, and then pondered, "Young Master Tang seems to be a little interesting......
"Don't overthink it." Ye Congwei replied lightly.
"Probably not." Silan Nunu mouthed, she was confident in her own eyes on people.
Ye Congwei smiled: "Let him go." ”
From childhood to adulthood, I have encountered many times, and I have never paid attention to it.
Ye Fenglai is a little younger than her, and now he seems to be enlightened?
For a moment, Ye Congwei moved the thought on the side.
has been looking for a person who can be entrusted for life, and finally there is a little sign of it, and I can't say it without thinking.
However...... The thought was extinguished by reason before it arose.
It's too late.
The second sister and the fourth sister are undecided, and if there is no emergency, they will not jump directly on her.
Moreover, after all, Ye Fenglai is a relative of the same clan and surname, and it is more difficult to reach an in-law relationship than a cousin.
In the previous dynasty, men and women were never allowed to intermarry in such cases, until a princess set a precedent.
Although some people have followed suit one after another, the world's tolerance for this is limited, at least in the Chengtai Marquis Mansion will not allow it.
Ye Congwei didn't know much about Ye Fenglai, how dare he indiscriminately put his net worth and life on him, it was better to stand still and wait for good news.
Now that she has not been sentenced to death, a different situation has emerged from her previous life.
Qi Su knew that she was interested in Tao Chi, and under this premise, if the county lord of Qingning pushed her out to replace Ye Congzhi, she might not be able to do so.
Ye Congwei couldn't predict what would follow, so he just washed his ears and waited.
*******
Within two days of the prince of Qi Yu living in the Hou Mansion, the king of Xunjun sent someone to urge.
The first group was sent back by the lord of Qingning County, and two days later, the second group came again.
It seems that he has made up his mind to teach the prince a lesson, and it is useless to hide, how long can the county lord of Qingning, who is an aunt, protect it?
The prince and his wife finally went back obediently, and within a month, they never heard of him mixing with Qi Su.
Time flies, like the chirping of cicadas in the middle of summer, into June.
The story of Prince Yu's spending a lot of money for the red face only subsided slightly, and then new news spread.
Qi Su is about to marry again, ask for the grace of the saint, and give a holy decree, the object is the daughter of the Marquis of Chengtai.
After several twists and turns, everyone has heard of it, although the saint does not want to hear the word 'wife', but he can't bear to muttered in people's hearts.
This concubine of the Hou Mansion doesn't know if she can survive this threshold......
In order to prevent long nights and dreams, the wedding date is set very close, just at the end of this month.
A marriage, the two governments are busy, and I have never heard of a marriage at the beginning of the month and a marriage at the end of the month, which is too rushed.
What's more, Prince Yu is still married to a princess, and the specifications are not comparable to ordinary officials.
However, the current situation is special, and the approach is different from the usual, which is understandable.
After the previous interruption of family affairs, the royal dowry has long been prepared, piled up in the warehouse to fall dust.
The father-in-law of the decree upheld the holy decree, and after reading it to the Chengtai Marquis Mansion, the lord of Qingning was struck by lightning, and he did not faint on the spot.
Fortunately, the second lady reacted quickly and held the person up, so as to avoid the gaffe.
Ye Ticheng and the second master invited the father-in-law to drink tea, and came back to discuss the marriage.
was helped into the backyard, and the tears of the county lord of Qingning could not be stopped along the way.
"Shut down," the old lady said with a solemn expression: "The messenger of heaven is still there, and the crying and crying have been heard, what do people want to say about us?" ”
When the order was received, the family was neat and tidy, and their expressions were different at this time.
Ye Congwei lowered her eyelashes, and the exact same thing as her previous life was repeated, which was related to the fate of her and her second sister, which was really exciting.
Qingning County didn't care about the old lady's reproach, and grabbed Ye Congzhi's hand tightly: "Did you hear that?" ”
Ye Congzhi's face was stunned, nodded and said, "Mother, I heard you right?" ”
"The holy decree has come, you have no jokes, what's wrong...... Woo, my poor son......" The county lord of Qingning began to cry again.
The old lady frowned, knowing that she couldn't persuade her, so she hurriedly waved her hand and signaled to go faster.
It's okay to cry in the backyard, and it can't reach the ears of my father-in-law.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Chen, handed over the child to the nurse to hold, she helped the county lord of Qingning and asked, "Good and decent, why does Prince Yu take a fancy to the second sister?" ”
"Sister-in-law doesn't know, we have met in the county king's mansion." Ye Congzhi replied.
Ye Congfei's face was full of sympathy: "Is it the Prince Yu who is having fun on the painting boat during the day?" ”
"Shut up, who told you to speak?!" The second lady took the lead in scolding.
At this time, the county lord of Qingning must be furious, what can he please if he talks too much? She turned around, dismissed all the juniors in the second room, and went back to each courtyard to stay.
Seeing that the fourth sister, the sixth sister and the third sister-in-law were all gone, Ye Congwei would not have the eyesight to watch and listen, so he took the opportunity to retire.
The old lady was in a mess at this time, and she didn't have time to deal with them, so she led the county lord of Qingning, Ye Congzhi, and Chen to go back to discuss carefully.
*******
Ye Congwei walked back to Yuzhou Courtyard quickly, picked up the herbal tea on the table, poured two cups in a row, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Si Lan, who was doing embroidery, hurriedly went out to fetch water for her and wiped her face, "It's a hot day, what is the girl doing in such a hurry?" ”
"Something big has happened!" Si Mei followed to the front yard to receive the order, and hurriedly relayed the situation to Si Lan.
"Somehow, the Holy Lord wants to assign the second girl to Prince Yu!"
"Is there such a thing?" Silan couldn't help but be speechless.
has always been a topic of conversation, this is very far away from them, and they can't fight with the Hou Mansion, but suddenly this one came out, and it instantly got closer.
"Yes...... Si Mei thought for a while and said, "Then won't Prince Yu be our second aunt?" ”
Not necessarily...... Ye Congwei opened his mouth to interject, but paused and held back.
If she talks too much, she is afraid of revealing her stuffing, no matter how nervous she is now, she is not good at speaking to others, even if these two are maids she trusts very much.
Rebirth is too mysterious, and no one may believe it when she says it, and she doesn't plan to let the second person know.
If he said that he had the ability to predict, it would be even more inappropriate, in addition to knowing that Qi Su was the new emperor in the future, Ye Congwei had a short life and closed news in his previous life, and he didn't know anything else.
At this time, I can only hold everything in my stomach and mutter.
Ye Congwei sweated and said, "I'll change my clothes, you don't have to wait." ”
"Girl?" Silan was stunned.
didn't ask much, glanced at Si Mei, and didn't go into the room with her.
Since the old lady's birthday last year, the girl has often been preoccupied, and she is no longer bright and cheerful.
As personal maids, both of them are aware of it, but they can't explain anything.
………
Ye Congwei did not rush to change clothes, but sat down in front of the bookcase.
She was stunned for a while, even if she had been prepared, she was still nervous when it came to the end.
"I have something to say." She let out a long sigh and rolled up her sleeves to start grinding the ink.
Spread out the white paper on the table, put the paperweight up, lift the brush and slowly write the words.
Write a letter to yourself from a previous life.
The holy decree came down, and it was exactly the same as in the previous life, and the reaction of the county lord of Qingning was the same.
The next day, she would fall ill and leave the affairs of the house to the second lady for the time being.
Let Ye Congzhi marry Prince Yu, and he may be killed or end up disabled.
Even if she sits on the throne of the princess, with the princess's graceful energy, there will be grinding in this life, how can the lord of Qingning be willing to do it.
The princess of an idle king, or this kind of character, what is she trying to do? If you change to another family, you will still have fine clothes and food, and there will be more hope for the future!
Thinking that the daughter he had raised with great difficulty was going to be ruined like this, the staple food of Qingning County was difficult to swallow and he couldn't sleep.
If it weren't for the emperor, it would have been crying to the door.
Then on the evening of the next day, the county lord of Qingning thought of a way to save himself, that is, Ye Congwei, the girl.
Isn't it just right to be under her knees since she was a child, and she is also called a concubine to the outside world?
Not surprisingly, there will be no change in the approach of the county lord of Qingning.
So, after Qi Su learned about it, what was his answer?
Ye Congwei wrote down the speculation and the worries in his heart one by one, mixed with confusion and a trace of helplessness to go with the flow.
No one could hear, no one could know, so they had to confide in a blank piece of paper.
At the end of the letter, she wrote: 'Qi Su, you think that my heart belongs, why don't you reject me. ’
After writing, Ye Congwei was stunned at the paper.
The ink is dry, and it's time to burn.
