Chapter 38: The Second Brother Remembers
Ye Chengcheng looked at his pensive second brother and said, "Second brother, second brother, what are you thinking?" ”
"The second brother is thinking that my sister is already married today, and she can get married." Ye Qingyuan said softly to his sister.
"Second brother, although I am married today, I am only fifteen years old, and my sister will have to wait another five years before she thinks about getting married." Ye Chengcheng knew that women married early in this era, but he was unwilling.
Ye Qingyuan said in surprise: "Really, sister, sister, sister, you are not allowed to lie to the second brother, the second brother will take it seriously." ”
"It's true, second brother, could it be that the second brother wants his sister to marry early." Ye Tingcheng saw his second brother happy like this, he knew that his second brother was cold on his face, but his heart was hot, but now because his face was so obvious in such a sentence, he knew that his second brother was very reluctant to be himself, how could he be reluctant, so he must accompany his family for a few more years, and then think about getting married.
"The second brother didn't think so, and I don't regret what my sister said." Ye Qingyuan confirmed again and again.
"Second brother, don't worry." Ye Qingcheng stood up and hugged Ye Qingyuan's arm and said.
Ye Qingyuan pressed Ye Tingcheng back and said: "Sister, you are all in time today, why are you still so unstable, when you will go out to make a ceremony, my sister must not be so unstable, you know?" ”
"I know, second brother, I'm also like this in front of my family, and I won't be like this when outsiders are around." Ye Qingcheng obediently sat down and let the subordinates put on his makeup.
"Second brother knows, but today is your courtesy, I have to tell you a few more times." Ye Qingyuan stretched out his hand and wanted to touch his sister's head, but he thought that his sister would have to make a salute, and her hair couldn't be messed up, so he took it back again.
Ye Chengcheng looked at his second brother's hand, he knew what his second brother wanted to do, stretched out his hand and took Ye Qingyuan's hand and put it on his head and said: "Second brother, you can do this whenever and wherever you want, don't have any worries, your hair is messy, just let the maid comb it again." ”
"Okay, sister, the second brother remembers." Ye Qingyuan touched his sister's head, and his heart softened, his sister was so understanding, how could he not be spoiled.
"Second son, eldest lady, the princess sent a slave to tell the eldest lady that the guests in the front hall have arrived, and the eldest lady has done a good salute in the front hall." Outside the house, there was a word.
Ye Qingcheng stood up, Ye Qingyuan took his sister's hand and walked outside the house, and saw the eldest maid Yiqiu beside his mother outside the house and said, "Let's go." ”

"The county lord of Changping has arrived." Yiqiu deliberately shouted, and the people in the front yard looked at Ye Tingcheng, who was walking slowly, wearing a bright red brocade long skirt, embroidered with white white plums on the skirt, and tied the slender waist that was unbearable with a white brocade belt, and twisted the jet-black hair into a hammered sideburns, inserted a plum blossom and white hosta, and also embellished with thin silver silk beaded tassels, although concise, it looked fresh and elegant to the mirror to comb.
