Chapter 103
When Yeats got married, the second wife, Qi, decided to do a good job and get rid of the bad luck over the years, after all, this is the first happy event in the second room since the death of the second master. Besides, Yeats is a concubine, but married to a sister-in-law, although he is the son-in-law of a nine-grade petty official, it is also good in the eyes of the Qi family, I think that the second master was the head of the Ministry of Works, it is also a nine-grade thing, even if the second master is alive, this family business is also a high climb, not to mention that now there is only one man in the second room, Ye Ji, and he is just a showman.
"Mother, you and your third sister entertain the female guests in the inner courtyard, and I entertain the male guests in the outer courtyard." Ye Ji was dressed in a clean indigo brocade robe, and he looked very much like the second master.
Qi said: "It's still early, you can read the book for a while, the township exam is going to be taken this fall, and you can't relax for a moment, and strive to be promoted in the exam." "My son is nineteen years old, if he doesn't win this year, he will have to wait for another three years, and she still wants to wait for Ye Ji to be promoted before he is married, after all, it is much better to say that it is better than Xiucai, and he can already be an official.
Ye Ji frowned, now that he was making a fuss everywhere, how could he read with peace of mind, but he didn't tell his mother, he just turned around and went to the outer courtyard, it was useless to say it, as long as she saw herself, she told her to hurry up and read a book, and she couldn't wait to eat while reading while eating. Ye Ji's steps were a little heavy, and he was not sure about Qiu Yu, and it was far more difficult to take the exams than he imagined.
There are a lot of guests invited today, and the Qi family who is a little bit of the side has given an invitation, she used to preside over the middle feed in the Jiping Houfu, and often took Ye Qian to the banquet, and met a lot of wives of the noble family, this time Yeats got married, it is also a rare opportunity, if you can get warm up with these people, it will be more convenient for Ye Rong to discuss marriage in the future, so even the Rong'an Bo Mansion and the Yuanyong Marquis Mansion have received her posts.
However, the second old man Ye Chengxun was convicted and beheaded at the beginning, and most people were unwilling to contaminate the family anymore, so there were not many nobles who really came, Bai Jingshuang and An Youzhen came, Bai Jingshuang was forced by Mrs. Bai to come in the face of the Jiping Marquis Mansion, An Youzhen was not convinced, thinking that if she met Ye Qian, she would have to stab her a few words.
Ye Qian also came, no matter what happened in private, this kind of courtesy exchange still had to be maintained, Yan Yunxi also followed, she hadn't seen the girl of Daqi get married, she was very curious, the front yard and the backyard were all around, after Yeats's sedan chair went out, Ye Qian was ready to go back, only to find that she couldn't find her.
The house in the second room is not very big, Ye Qian didn't see Yan Yunxi in the backyard, so she asked Lu Fei who followed her to look for it, and she thought about whether it was in the small pavilion, she went along the road, passed by the back window of the wing, but heard the quarrel between Qi and Ye Rong.
"You dead girl, what are you doing hiding here, there are so many people here today, it's a good time to get acquainted with people, and it's easier for you to get acquainted with people."
"Mother, I said that I won't marry, I won't marry in this life, if you can't get used to me staying at home, then I'll cut my hair and be a sister-in-law!"
"You, you're really going to be angry with me, which girl doesn't marry, Sister Zhi is married, Sister Qian is younger than you, and she will get married next year, why do you catch being a sister-in-law!"
"No matter who marries, I won't marry anyway! Even if all the girls in the world get married, I won't get married! โ
Through the back window, Ye Qian heard Qi's snorting and panting, obviously because Ye Rong was not lightly angry. Then, with a "bang", the door opened, and it was estimated that Qi was angry and left.
Ye Qian frowned, why did Ye Rong refuse to marry? Speaking of which, she hasn't seen Ye Rong for a long time, and she usually doesn't care about the second room, so she really doesn't know what happened to Ye Rong to make her so reluctant to marry.
As soon as she wanted to step away, she heard the door squeak shut, and a familiar voice said, "Miss Ye really doesn't want to get married?" โ
Ye Qian's footsteps stopped, and it turned out to be Bai Jingshuang!
"Don't you know that the white girl should not listen to indecent deeds? overheard other people's conversations, and came up to ask confidently, I really haven't seen you like this. โ
"Miss Ye, don't be angry, I'm just-" Bai Jingshuang sighed, "I'm actually the same as you, and I don't want to get married." โ
Ye Qian's eyes widened, and she involuntarily leaned under the back window and listened to them.
"Miss Bai is joking, how did I hear that you are discussing marriage with my eldest brother."
"It's just that the parents on both sides have this meaning, and it's still early before the official marriage." Bai Jingshuang whispered softly, "Actually, I want to persuade you, this world is strict with women, and it may not be easy to swear to die and not to marry, not only to fight against the gossip outside, but also to see if the brothers and sisters-in-law in the family can tolerate people." I do have an idea, pick a weak man who is easy to handle, marry him, grit his teeth and endure for a few days, and then give him a few beautiful concubines, and the husband and wife will live their own lives without bothering each other. In this way, there will be no irresponsible opinions, and it will be as pure as when you were a girl. โ
Why did she say "grit her teeth and endure for a few days", is it so painful for her to get married? Ye Qian's doubts were even worse, but when she heard that there was no sound in the room, both of them were silent for a long time, before they heard Ye Rong ask suspiciously: "Since you don't want to marry, then why pick Ye Li, he is not a weak man who is easy to handle." โ
Bai Jingshuang sighed: "Where I picked him, it's just the intention of my parents at home, and I can't tell him that I don't want to." The last time I went to Shanjue Temple, I had already thought about it, the Hou Mansion was the most precious Ye Qian, as long as I was ruthless to her, the Hou Mansion would definitely give up. But the princess and Ye Li are on the side, besides, to be honest, even if there is no one, I really can't do anything against Ye Qian. These days, I'm worrying about how to get free. โ
"If you defile yourselfโ"
"Miss Ye must not make this plan, the woman is already difficult, and the innocent daughter's family is still accidentally on the road, if you pour dirty water on yourself again, it will be even more difficult."
The two were silent for a while, and Ye Rong asked, "Why are you ...... Don't want to get married? โ
"I hate men, I feel sick when I see them, let alone get along with them day and night. If I could, I would also like not to marry for life, but I don't want to stay at home, I want to have my own house, I have secretly saved some self over the years, and I can also buy a family business, but this world does not allow female households, even if it is allowed, it will inevitably be targeted by some villains. โ
The two of them didn't speak for a long time, as if they were worried about this difficult problem.
Ye Qian suppressed the horror in her heart, left the mezzanine lightly, and only let out a long breath when she arrived at the Moon Gate. No wonder Bai Jingshuang was not shy at all when she mentioned her brother, she didn't like her brother at all, no, she didn't like men at all, and she never thought of marrying her brother.
Fortunately, her mother listened to her words and did not rush to propose, but asked her father to investigate the affairs of Rong Anbo's mansion, she had to go back quickly and tell her mother about it, and the marriage with Bai Jingshuang must not be mentioned again.
Ye Qian took a few deep breaths, calmed down, raised her eyes and looked around, and saw a faint figure in the pavilion, she thought about whether it was Yan Yunxi, and hurriedly walked over.
The pavilion was a little higher than the ground, and there were more than a dozen steps to go up, and when Ye Qian reached it, he found that there was no Yan Yunxi, but An Youzhen sitting there.
She and An Youzhen didn't have anything to say, Ye Qian turned around and wanted to leave, An Youzhen called: "Why are you so rude, you don't know how to say hello when you see someone, oh, I know, I heard that your father has been away from home for many years, and your mother is also sick in bed, you have no one to support you, no wonder you are so uneducated." โ
An Youzhen was triumphant, she had thought about these words for a long time, just waiting for Ye Qian to stab her a few words today, but she didn't expect to see her for a long time, and when she went to this pavilion to take a breath, she sent it to the door.
Is there anyone who has no one to support? The anger in Ye Qian's heart burned, when she was a child, she and her brother depended on each other, and life was indeed difficult, but now that her father is back, her mother is also better, and she has a lovely younger brother, not to mention her brother and King Yu, she is not bullied by others, snorted coldly, Ye Qian said: "It's better than Miss An, there is a 'shameless Hou Ye' father, who teaches by word and deed, and is better than blue, I think this 'Yuanyong' title, your family can continue for several generations." โ
"You! It's all your fault! An Youzhen was so angry that her face was red, "Now many people secretly call my father 'shameless Hou Ye'!" Since Ye Qian said it last time, this nickname has quietly risen.
"Isn't that just right, how apt." Ye Qianxiu raised her eyebrows, and her tone was cold.
"Sister Qianqian, so you're here!" Yan Yunxi watched the excitement, looking for Ye Qian everywhere, but met Lu Fei, who was looking for herself, saw her standing on the edge of the gazebo, strode over, deerskin boots stepped on the steps, and when she reached the top, she found that it was An Youzhen inside, her footsteps stopped on the steps one level lower than Ye Qian, "This 'An Youai' doesn't mean anything at all, Sister Qianqian, let's go back." โ
Ye Qian couldn't help but smile and nodded.
An Youzhen was so angry that she went crazy, now not only did her father get the nickname of "Shameless Hou Ye", but she also had the nickname of "I am sick", she stood up suddenly, pounced and pushed hard towards Ye Qian.
Ye Qian was standing on the edge of the steps, and was vigorously pushed by An Youzhen, and her body immediately fell down.
Yan Yunxi was startled and stretched out her arms to hug Ye Qian, but Ye Qian was planted from a place higher than her, and An Youzhen pushed her with all her strength, Rao is posture is vigorous, and she failed to stabilize Ye Qian's body.
Yan Yunxi's footsteps stepped back, but behind her were steps, her deerskin boots were empty, and her body was also out of balance.
After all, Yan Yunxi has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, if she pushes Ye Qian away, she can stand up on the spot, but this step is more than a dozen steps high, Ye Qian is an incomparably delicate little girl in her heart, the kind that needs to be carefully cared for, compared to her own thick skin and thick flesh and resistant to beating, if she just rolls down the steps, she will definitely be seriously injured.
Yan Yunxi gritted his teeth, pressed Ye Qian's head into his arms, covered the back of her head with one hand, hugged her waist with the other, protected her with both arms, and rolled down with Ye Qian.
