"Why, haven't picked a suitable one yet?"

Seeing Ye Yongjia enter the study, Cai Xianqing hurriedly leaned up and patted him on the shoulder and asked.

"Yes," Ye Yongjia shook his head in frustration, "It's either that I don't think those families have a bad atmosphere, or they dislike me for being rootless, powerless, and old." I advise you not to rush me anymore, this is really not easy to do. ”

Cai Xianqing smiled: "This is Tinglong, your requirements are too harsh. What the matchmakers told you, which one is not a scholarly family, the right one? They are all children of gentry families, and they are not from different backgrounds, which is the best condition now. It's really not good, just make do with it. ”

"Master Cai, it's not that Ye thinks highly of himself," Ye Yongjia pushed away the chair and walked to the desk and sat down, "After all, I haven't even seen the face of other girls, what are the requirements?" Just looking at the behavior of those gentlemen, when I think of marrying such a person in the future, I have a hundred thousand points of contempt in my heart, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to make do. ”

Cai Xianqing seemed to fully understand his intentions, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, what Tinglong said is not unreasonable. Now that the world is not quiet, it is at a time when everything is declining, and the high family of the world has lost its former prosperity, and the descendants naturally do not cultivate virtue and do not guard the door, and there are male thieves and female prostitutes. ”

"Don't mention that." Ye Yongjia thought of his life experience, and became more and more mixed, and hurriedly waved his hand and asked Cai Xianqing to stop.

"Then it's time to talk about Cui Longhuai." Cai Xianqing's tone gradually became solemn.

"What else do you say? Didn't the weekly messenger already transport the coffin? Money for the funeral was also given. ”

"Cui Yi wanted to come to see you that day, but because of the failure, so the idea has not disappeared, these days I always let the Zhou messenger tell me, asking me to come to Tinglong, saying that if I can't see my benefactor, I can't die blindly. Why don't you go with the weekly errand and attend this funeral? ”

"Then I'll follow him......" When Ye Yongjia was just about to make a decision, a little hesitation suddenly flashed in his mind, and he frowned and slowly moved his gaze to his face, "You won't have something to hide from me, right?" ”

"What are you hiding from?" Cai Xianqing replied calmly.

"I'm afraid you're not the one who can give up," Ye Yongjia said, "How can I make you give up your advice with a word?" I heard that Cui Yi has a daughter, you won't ......"

"Hey, what do you think!" Cai Xianqing couldn't help laughing, "She died of her husband, and now her father is dead, and it will take three years to keep filial piety, how can I be so confused?" ”

"I hope I'm too careful," Ye Yongjia clutched the brush back and forth in his hand, "This is a major matter related to private morality, you don't want to trap me in injustice." ”

"Don't worry, rest assured......" Cai Xianqing said as he reached out to help him up.

"Sir!"

As soon as Ye Yongjia stepped into the door of Cui's house, he heard an earth-shattering wail, and several old servants knelt on the side of the road when they saw the coffin carried by the Zhou officials, and cried fiercely, their faces turned pale, and their voices were almost hoarse.

"Where's the coffin?" Ye Yongjia slowly approached and asked softly, why couldn't those old servants listen to it at all, they just kowtowed like garlic, and kept crying with straight eyes.

The two had no choice but to move the coffin to the hall, thinking that it would be quieter, but the servants chased after them again, holding the coffin in their hands and continuing to cry bitterly.

Ye Yongjia endured these cries for a long time, but he still didn't see Cui Yi come to worship, so he anxiously asked the Zhou officials: "Why hasn't that Cui Hexun arrived yet?" We can't stand for hours. ”

Zhou replied: "Lord Ye, I have a good relationship with him, this person is not rude, if there is no urgent matter, he will not come to see the coffin." The villain is familiar with the road of Cui's mansion, and I will take you into the inner courtyard to find him. ”

"Okay, I'll go with you." Ye Yongjia couldn't wait to get out of this place as soon as possible, so he didn't think much about it, so he left with him.

"Sister," Cui Yi pushed open the door and bowed at the door, "Brother Zhou said a few words and left, the coffin has been carried by the slave, please go and see my father." ”

"Where?" Cui Shi wore a white dress and white hat, and walked out to ask, his voice still choked.

Cui Yi stepped aside and replied with a sullen head: "Put it in an ear room in front, and the big and small minions are crying." ”

Cui Shi couldn't stop two lines of tears, but he still took this emotion back, wiped away his tears, and said, "Let's go." ”

The two walked in from the inner room of the ear room, Cui Yi walked in front, and when he was about to lift the curtain, he heard a chaotic footstep in the outer guest hall, and when he stepped back, he took a big breath, and his heart jumped up.

"Sister, you ...... You go first. Cui Yi took a half step back, looking at his sister with timid eyes.

"What's wrong?" Cui Shi picked the hair between his eyebrows and walked up suspiciously.

"I ...... I can't take it. Cui Yi gritted his trembling teeth and said.

Cui Shi went to lift the curtain and muttered: "Inexplicable, what are you ......doing here?"

She walked to the guest hall, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the oncoming person, and she was stunned. The person in front of him was a man in a red official robe, extremely tall, but his face was a little thin, and there was a little indifference in his cloudy eyes, which looked hollow, but it was awe-inspiring - this person was Ye Yongjia. She didn't know how to describe such strange eyes, she just looked at him curiously.

The two stared at each other blankly for a while, but Ye Yongjia came back to his senses first, he began to avoid eye contact like this, deliberately put on a serious and stiff expression, and slowly saluted: "Dare to ask the girl who is ......"

When Cui Shi heard the word 'girl', his face turned a little red, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Lord Ye," Zhou leaned over and whispered, "This Cui family is widowed without a husband, so he shouldn't be called a girl." ”

"Oh......" Ye Yongjia realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly corrected it, "You are Mrs. Cui, right?" It's rude. ”

"This is Ye Shangshu, who is also in charge of the two departments of military punishment, why don't you worship?" Zhou turned his face to look at Cui Shi again, and motioned for her to hurry up and salute.

Cui Shi was still at a loss, and when he didn't know what to do, he saw Cui Yi rushing out of the back room, kneeling in front of Ye Yongjia, with tears in his eyes: "Lord Ye, you have to save our Cui family!" Our family only counted on my late father, and now that he is gone, we are lonely and helpless! My sister also saw this situation, please attach it to the adult, no matter if you are a wife or a concubine, you must always ensure the continuation of my Cui Mansion! I hope that the adults can allow the invitation of the sister to save the villain's business! ”
