Ye Lanqiao paused, and his mind couldn't react for a while.

"What did you say?"

"Girl, don't be too angry, you also know what the fourth girl looks like, it must be the fourth girl who is pestering Qiao Gongzi!" Huixiang saw that Ye Lanqiao's face was a little unsightly, thinking that Ye Lanqiao was angry, and hurriedly opened her mouth to comfort her.

"I'm fine, Huixiang, you go to the front and take a look, and let me know if the banquet in the front hall is dispersed."

"Girl, aren't we going to find the fourth girl and Gongzi Qiao?" Huixiang didn't understand a little, at this time, shouldn't she go over and take the opportunity to knock Ye Ruqiao? Why is Ye Lanqiao now concerned about the end of the banquet?

"No need, just wait." Ye Lanqiao replied lightly, and then turned around and returned to his room.

To say that I don't care about Ye Ruqiao and Qiao Yufei's intimate behavior is false, from the beginning I knew that Qiao Yufei was my future husband until now, it has been more than ten years, although Ye Lanqiao has no love for Qiao Yufei, but suddenly a familiar habit was broken, and Ye Lanqiao was still a little uncomfortable.

However, Ye Lanqiao still chose to wait, after all, in the past ten years, Qiao Yufei had spent on her, and Ye Lanqiao still understood it in her heart.

It wasn't until Ye Lanqiao and Yueluo put the put away osmanthus flowers into the jar that Huixiang hurriedly ran in from outside: "Girl, the banquet is over!"

"Hmm." Ye Lanqiao got up, washed his hands, and said: "Yueluo, you seal the osmanthus and put it away, and turn around to make osmanthus nectar." Huixiang, you come with me to Wanshoutang. ”

"Girl, didn't we just come back from Wanshoutang just now? Why is this going to pass again? Yue Luo looked at Ye Lanqiao puzzled and asked.

"There's something I forgot to tell my grandmother." Ye Lanqiao didn't look back, and walked out with Huixiang.

As soon as I entered Wanshoutang, I saw that Mother Shen was talking to Mrs. Ye in the ear and didn't know what to say, and when she saw Ye Lanqiao coming, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Mother Shen's face.

Ye Lanqiao didn't see anything to do, and walked up to Old Madam Ye: "Grandmother, it's cold in autumn, you might as well go back to the house and rest."

"Lan'er, why are you here again?" Old Madam Ye's face was a little ugly after hearing Shen's mother's words, but when she saw her granddaughter suddenly coming over, she forced a smile and asked.

Ye Lanqiao helped Mrs. Ye to walk into the house and spoke: "Grandmother, didn't you just talk about the marriage between your granddaughter and the Qiao family?" I thought about it on the way back, my granddaughter is also a big child, and some things are better to know in advance. So I thought that after Mother Shen called Brother Qiao over for a while, I would listen to it on the side. ”

"Lan'er......" Old Madam Ye didn't expect Ye Lanqiao to take the initiative to mention this matter, and she was a little overwhelmed: "I saw that you weren't very enthusiastic about the affairs of the Qiao family before, why are you suddenly so sensible now?"

"These are the grandmothers who deserve." Ye Lanqiao said, but her eyes looked at Mother Shen: "Mother Shen, the banquet has been dispersed in front of you, Mother Shen has sent someone to call Brother Qiao?"

"This ......" Shen's mother was asked, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Ye Lanqiao's heart fell, it seems that what Huixiang said to herself is true.

"Mother Shen, what's wrong with you?" Ye Lanqiao held back the loss in her heart, she helped Old Madam Ye onto the soft couch and asked.

"Just now, the old slave personally went to invite Qiao Gongzi, but Qiao Gongzi ...... He said that he would accompany the four girls to enjoy the flowers again, and he would not be free to come. ”

Mother Shen sighed heavily, she really couldn't believe that Qiao Yufei, who had always been optimistic, was also a person who saw the wind and steered the rudder.

"Accompany the fourth sister?" Ye Lanqiao brought a cup of hot tea to Mrs. Ye, her hands trembled a little, but her tone was still light: "I remember that Brother Qiao was not familiar with the fourth sister before."

"My silly girl, you're thinking too simply." Seeing Ye Lanqiao's ignorant appearance, Mother Shen said bitterly.

Old Madam Ye on the side also sighed, she pulled Ye Lanqiao to sit beside her, and spoke: "Lan'er...... In fact, my grandmother had heard some gossip some time ago, saying that Qiao Yufei had frequent contacts with the four girls, and my grandmother was afraid that something would happen, so I thought about quickly settling the family affairs on the bright side, who knows...... Grandmother was still a step late. ”

"Grandmother, what do you mean by that? Don't...... What does the Qiao family want to marry the fourth sister? Ye Lanqiao blinked, and opened his mouth in disbelief.

"In the final analysis, it's still the grandmother who blames the grandmother, and you don't say anything about the grandmother's body, but also let the little lady Wang come out."

Old Madam Ye said bitterly, if she is healthy, she can naturally decide the affairs of the family, where is Wang Xiaoniang's turn?

Wang Xiaoniang has always wanted to kiss the Qiao family, but this time she finally got a loophole.

"Don't be sad, Grandmother." Ye Lanqiao saw that Old Madam Ye was sad and sad, and hurriedly comforted.

What Qiao Yufei did, Ye Lanqiao could only be said to be disappointed, but he was not very sad.

Even if she married into the Qiao family in the future, she never thought that her husband would be wholeheartedly devoted to her. In this place, anyone who has a little money and power has some aunts or something in the back house.

But since this Qiao Yufei suddenly changed his attitude at this time, Ye Lanqiao felt that this family business was just that. After all, this is not the case yet, and after the marriage, it must not be turned over?

The most important thing now is to pierce this layer of window paper, it is best to let Qiao Yufei take the initiative to bring it up, and Ye Lanqiao will save a lot of trouble.

"Grandmother, granddaughter doesn't believe that Brother Qiao is such a person, let the granddaughter ask for herself, okay?" Ye Lanqiao thought about it and asked.

"Don't go! You, an unmarried girl, where can you come forward to ask about your relatives in person? Old Madam Ye vetoed without thinking about it, if this was spread out, how would others poke Ye Lanqiao's backbone in the back?

"Okay, granddaughter listens to you." Ye Lanqiao smiled, seeing that it was time for Old Madam Ye to drink the medicine, Ye Lanqiao waited for Old Madam Ye to drink the medicine and fell asleep, and then prepared to leave.

"Girl." Mother Shen chased after her at this time and stopped Ye Lanqiao.

"What's the matter with Mother Shen?"

"The girl is going to find Mr. Qiao?" Mother Shen walked up to Ye Lanqiao and stood still, and asked.

Ye Lanqiao was speechless for a while, she really thought so in her heart, but she didn't want to lie and fool Shen's mother.

"Alas......" Mother Shen looked at Ye Lanqiao's appearance, and she also understood eight or nine points in her heart, and continued: "The old slave has watched the girl grow up since she was a child, how can she not know the girl's temperament, the girl has been wronged like this, she should indeed make it clear to her face."

"Mother Shen still understands me." Ye Lanqiao sighed: "Actually, I don't feel much wronged, the family matter is just a verbal talk by the elders of the two families, and there is no courtesy, maybe, the second son of Qiao has always treated me as a sister."

Ye Lanqiao shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

"Girl, you are still too kind, and you think of everyone too simply." Mother Shen stopped talking and sighed helplessly.

Ye Lanqiao smiled knowingly: "Mother Shen, don't worry, I understand it in my heart." It would be better to explain this matter earlier, so as not to turn back and make people laugh at me, and let my grandmother figure it out earlier, so as not to guess and not hurt my body. ”

"The girl knows it, and the old slave is relieved." Mother Shen nodded, and watched Ye Lanqiao leave Wanshou Hall.

There is a osmanthus forest in the northwest corner of the General's Mansion, the osmanthus has passed the most vigorous period of blooming in this season, and the dark green osmanthus tree is still mixed with clusters of osmanthus flowers. In previous years, whether it was the master or the slave in the house, they were distressed by the osmanthus that had fallen to the ground, so they put away the osmanthus before the end of the flowering period, and brewed osmanthus nectar to make osmanthus cake, adding some floral fragrance to the next harsh winter.

Ye Lanqiao asked Huixiang to pass the word, and asked Qiao Yufei to come over and see him. It wasn't until he waited for a stick of incense in the depths of the osmanthus that Qiao Yufei was late.

Qiao Yufei's face was a little embarrassed, he didn't dare to look up at the woman sitting under the gazebo, he just stepped forward and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Sister Lan, long time no see."

Hearing Qiao Yufei's voice, Ye Lan Qiao slowly got up and shook off the osmanthus petals that had floated all over his body.

"Young Master Qiao, long time no see, please take a seat."

Waiting for Qiao Yufei to sit down, Ye Lanqiao motioned for Huixiang to serve tea, Huixiang held a cup of tea, and put it in front of Qiao Yufei with some indignation, which shook the tea bowl and tea lid and made a series of jingling sounds.

Qiao Yufei's face became a little more ugly.

Ye Lanqiao didn't see all this, she pushed the dim sum on the stone table in front of Qiao Yufei: "My grandfather died a few months ago, and the Qiao family also set up a road sacrifice on the side of the road, giving enough face to the Ye family and grandfather, I have thanked Qiao Gongzi here."

"Where, Sister Lan is polite."

Ye Lanqiao's eyes were not shocked, she couldn't see a trace of emotion, and she didn't bother to say any more polite words, so she went straight to the point: "Young Master Qiao, I invite you over today, it's about the marriage between the two of us that my grandfather said when he was alive."

As soon as Ye Lanqiao's words fell, Qiao Yufei, who was bowing his head to drink tea, shook his hand, and the hot tea in the tea bowl dripped on Qiao Yufei's hand, Ye Lanqiao looked at Qiao Yufei looking for a handkerchief in a panic, and did not react.

"Sister Lan, I ......" Qiao Yufei never expected that Ye Lanqiao would take the initiative to mention this matter. When I heard Huixiang go to pass just now, Ye Ruqiao was pestering herself to paint, and she originally wanted to come immediately, but she was stopped by Ye Ruqiao, which delayed for so long.

On the way here, Qiao Yufei has been worrying, how to tell Ye Lanqiao about quitting his family, although he is only verbal about family affairs, but he Qiao Yufei is also the only son of the Guogong Mansion, and he still needs some face, so he can't fall into the hands of others, let others say that he is a person who sees the wind and rudder.

"Sister Lan, why did you suddenly talk about this?" Qiao Yufei wiped the hot tea off his hand and asked with some weakness.
