15. Fight again
The county lord of Qingning belongs to the Xu family, firstly, the family style is rigorous, and secondly, the elder Xu Ge does not stand in line.
I want my daughter to marry high, but I don't want to vote for the wrong master, I will be implicated in the future, my husband's family is poor, as long as the dowry is rich, I can still keep my clothes and food.
And as Xu Gelao, his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law were all given orders......
"You're beautiful!" Ye Ticheng lightly pierced her sweet dream: "In order to pave the way for the eldest prince, Concubine Jin has the intention to marry the third princess to the Xu family." ”
"How can Elder Xu Ge allow his disciples to ascend to the throne by taking advantage of the position of a horse?" The county lord of Qingning felt that this matter was no fun.
Ye Ticheng pointed out the point: "So it's to marry." ”
According to the law of this dynasty, after the princess recruits her son-in-law, she sets up her own mansion, and the horses enjoy the honor guard of the concubines, slaves and chariots and horses according to their ranks.
If the princess marries, she is not equipped with the princess's mansion and enters the husband's house.
Concubine Jin is the only concubine with both children, which is one of her dependences.
However, the queen is the mother of a country, and her son is even more justifiable, and in order to enter the East Palace, he has to do everything he can.
"This is forcing Xu Ge to stand in line...... the old lady said.
The county lord of Qingning still did not give up, and said: "If you don't say goodbye to the two girls as soon as possible, who knows if the second prince will take action......
"I'm not afraid, the queen mother won't allow him to act arbitrarily, and it's impossible for the side concubine." Ye Ticheng paused and glanced at Ye Congwei: "The concubine room can't be said for sure." ”
Ye Congwei couldn't sit still, lifted the hem of her skirt and knelt on the ground: "Father, since we have no intention of clinging to the royal family, why bother to join in this excitement and ask my grandmother and father to make decisions for me." ”
There is not much time left, and if she doesn't take the opportunity to speak, I'm afraid it will be too late.
If the situation is allowed to develop, she will be accepted as a concubine by the second prince, even if he loses in the future, the relationship with the Chengtai Marquis Mansion is not very great.
The official position of the Marquis of Chengtai is low, and the daughter is just a concubine, so she can't even sit down.
This is considered from the direction of the Hou Mansion, if it is from the perspective of the family...... Who cares about Ye Congwei's life after marriage?
In the eyes of others, the second prince may become the prince, and the identity of her concubine is rising; Or maybe he was defeated by the Great Prince, sent to a remote place to be a vassal king, or simply died.
In fact, it's dead.
Ye Congwei trembled in his heart, and the road ahead was dangerous, all of which were fatal.
"Shut up! Marriage matters have their own elders' rulings, what are you asking for? ! Ye Ticheng stared.
This time, the county lord of Qingning did not accuse Ye Congwei according to his words, but said with a smile: "The old lady will answer me and finalize the marriage of the second girl, so as not to wait for the sisters below." ”
She didn't bother to care about Ye Congwei, she only knew that if she was taken by Concubine Jin, she would never find a more suitable one than the Xu family.
The old lady hadn't spoken yet, but Ye Congzhi didn't think that Ye Congzhi would take over.
She said lightly: "The Xu family may not look down on me, my mother is embarrassed by my grandmother." ”
"This is not child's play, you have to figure it out slowly," the old lady sighed and said loosely: "Seeing that the spring is still good, I will go to Xu's house for a cup of tea." ”
There has never been a woman who asks for kisses, and the elders go to drink tea, which is intentional.
If the other party also matches, they will take the initiative to contact.
This kind of thing can't be rushed, February has arrived, and the top priority of the Hou Mansion is the examination of the two sons.
………
After speaking in the old lady's courtyard, they dispersed.
Ye Congwei returned to Yuzhou Courtyard with a lot of worries.
Si Lan thought that she was frightened by the sudden second prince, and explained in a low voice: "Don't worry, girl, we have never made mistakes in our behavior, no one can blame, if we are really chosen, it will not be a good thing......
"Probably......" Ye Congwei shook his head.
The worst plan is to become the concubine of the second prince, and he may not be executed at that time.
I didn't hear the relevant news in my previous life, and I thought that as long as there were no heirs, a dispensable female dependent would not be embarrassed.
But she has fallen to this point, widowed and old, and she is inevitably too nested.
Do you want to live a new life, do you just want to live on this life?
Ye Congwei thought of Tao Chi again, and as soon as the results of the test came out, his worth naturally rose.
When he won the title of Tanhualang in the palace test, it was hot for a while.
Even if the Tao family is not very noble, with their own talents and appearance, they can also enter the eyes of many noble girls.
No, she couldn't sit still, Ye Congwei tightened her thin white fingertips.
At first, I was delusional about a two-way street, but now, I can only take risks.
Be brave and take the initiative to spy on Tao Gongzi's impression of her.
If you are lucky, Tao Gongzi responds to her, and then she will go back to the old path of private life in her previous life.
At that time, Tao Chi went back and asked the elders to come over to propose marriage, the two families who had never been in contact with each other would marry her by name for no reason, and if you think about it, you can understand what is going on, Ye Congwei is afraid that she will be despised by the Tao family.
changed the object, the same way, and even this time without the help of my aunt and cousin......
She couldn't imagine what kind of future awaited her.
"The girl is tired, should she rest early?" Si Mei said softly.
Ye Congwei came back to his senses and saw the two little maids with worried faces, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She thinks so long-term, but it's hard to even see Tao Chi's face, not to mention that people may not like her!
Even a private lifelong commitment is just wishful thinking on her part for now......
"I'm not tired, I'm just annoyed that I'm not smart enough." She rubbed the corners of her forehead.
Anyone who is smarter will definitely not be so difficult for her.
*******
For half a month, Ye Congwei went to ask the old lady and the county lord of Qingning to say goodbye, and the courtyard gate of Yuzhou Courtyard did not come out.
Full of 'peace and self-control'.
She made up her mind to take a risk, and on the day of the trial release.
The carriages and horses of the mansions all went to the streets, some sent people to take care of things, and some took the cars themselves.
The county lord of Qingning is this group of people who can't wait.
She led Ye Congzhi, who was in a hurry all morning, and it was difficult to sit still.
Ye Congwei followed them into the carriage in the name of caring about the two brothers.
Before the hour came, the streets were already crowded with people, some anxiously waiting, some watching the excitement, and the water was impassable.
Ye Shuo also came, and he said excitedly: "I'll squeeze in front to occupy a good position, you guys wait!" ”
"The good position has been occupied, can you squeeze in?" The county lord of Qingning looked out the car window and frowned.
If it weren't for her own identity, she would also want to squeeze it.
"It's okay, I'm with me." Ye Shuo jumped out of the car as he spoke, moving quickly.
Ye Congwei took the opportunity to get out of the car and told him to be careful, don't miss the name of the eldest brother and the third brother.
"Fifth sister, just wait for my good news." Ye Shuo smiled and patted his chest.
"Go ahead." Ye Congwei was helpless in her heart, she knew that the eldest brother and third brother were going to be disappointed this time.
The imperial examination is a difficult journey, and students all over the world look forward to it.
Only the best and most top-notch people can pass the examinations and enter the court to serve the country.
After getting out of the car, Ye Congwei didn't plan to go up again, and stood on the side, looking at the bustling crowd.
After a short time, a group of cars and horses passed by, and the slaves who took the lead were quite domineering.
"Let me give up, give me a let!"
The slaves pushed and shoved the passers-by, trying to squeeze out a way through.
Ye Congwei was scattered, retreated and dodged, and after a while, he followed the crowd away from the carriage of the Hou Mansion.
The streets are full of people, not to mention Si Mei's call, it is not easy to walk back to the original place.
She succeeded in her plan, carried the corner of her skirt, and entered a tea shop on the street.
The tea shop and the place where the list is released are just facing each other, and it is very lively.
Ye Congwei didn't know if Tao Chi would go to the street to see the results at this time today, and there was no way to guess where he would appear.
She came outside alone for the first time, went up to the second floor with a little restraint, and ordered a pot of tea.
The view here is better, and most of them are scholars and students who are watching, but fortunately there are also many women.
Ye Congwei's appearance is not eye-catching, but many people still secretly look at her with their eyes.
I don't know who the delicate lady is.
She was just unconscious, looking down at the street downstairs, crowded with people, and she couldn't see the carriages and horses of the Hou Mansion at a glance.
After going back, he said that he was washed away and lost, which should not arouse suspicion.
After looking for the people from the Hou Mansion, Ye Congwei continued to concentrate on investigating, she couldn't recognize the Tao family's carriage, and only hoped to see Tao Chi himself......
………
"What are you looking for?"
Caught off guard, a male voice whispered in his ear, startling Ye Congwei.
She looked sideways, and the one standing beside her turned out to be Prince Yu Qi Su.
What a bad fate it is.
For the repeated encounters, Ye Congwei was depressed, but she didn't dare to reveal anything on her face, and hurriedly saluted respectfully.
Qi Su waved his hand and said, "Outside, there is no need to be so polite." ”
"Yes." Ye Congwei held his hand and said softly: "The little girl and her family were separated just now, and they came here. ”
"This person does have a little more ......" Qi Su smiled half-squinted: "But didn't you walk away by yourself?" How can you say it? ”
"Huh?"
"This king clearly saw that you yourself retreated along the crowd."
“?!” Ye Congwei was stunned, I don't know where he saw it, this will not be empty talk about her......
Qi Su kindly pointed to the private room diagonally opposite, and said, "That window, just to see clearly." ”
"This, this...... The little girl was afraid of being impacted, and she wanted to avoid it for the time being......" Ye Congwei stumbled to explain, only to feel that her scalp was numb!
Qi Su nodded in understanding, and said in a low voice: "The girl's family is outside, so it's really okay, it seems that this king wants to go wrong." ”
The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he was handsome and unmatched: "I thought you deliberately got away and came here to find someone." ”
In a word.
"What does the prince mean? The little girl didn't understand. Ye Congwei was terrified in his heart and pretended to be calm.
"If you don't understand, forget it," Qi Su didn't care, and said: "Come with me, this king will not let a delicate and expensive young lady drink tea alone in a crowded lobby." ”
Pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?
Ye Congwei didn't have the courage to go, and politely refused: "The little girl should not be delicate and expensive, this will be released immediately, and she will be able to find her family smoothly later......"
"If it's a maid, it's fine, come here." Qi Su glanced at her.
"This ...... The little girl is better than obeying her fate. Ye Congwei had no choice but to follow obediently.
It is true that there are many people with mixed eyes, and it is not appropriate to do too much of a dispute of words here, not to mention...... He also mentioned the maid.
At that time, she fell into the water, but fortunately, Prince Yu followed her words and was able to save her name when she was a maid of the Hou Mansion.
Whether it is a benefactor, Prince Yu, or the future emperor, it is not something she can disobey.
