Chapter 109: Investigating Governance and Formulating Policies (1)
It was dark. Although there were rows of candles lit on the road leading to the cave house, the light of the fire was also bleak.
Ye Yongjia was wearing his own official uniform, with red satin draped over his shoulders, and walked into the cave room with a light step, and saw Cui Shi sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, his face covered with red yarn embroidered with gold, but he couldn't cover the wisps of green silk, and he slipped straight down his neck.
"Madame......"
Ye Yongjia slowly walked to the side of the bed, stared at the red yarn for a long time, stretched out his hand but didn't dare to lift it, just shouted with a worried heart. Although he was all too familiar with the face behind the red veil, he didn't know what kind of expression he would see, whether it was joy and excitement, or tears of sadness, or helpless haggardness...... As much as he wanted to make it perfect, he feared that it would not come.
"Husband, you're here...... Is it? ”
Cui's delicate voice finally pulled him back to reality, and he had no choice but to move his trembling fingers, hook the red yarn, and lift it off-
I saw that her face was pale, and her cheeks were flushed with a faint flush, but there was no trace of clarity. He looked at it in a daze, indeed obsessed with the bride's appearance, but it seemed to hide more complicated feelings. It was true that none of the results he had envisaged had happened and would not disturb the perfection in his heart, but at this time, he hoped that she would respond cleanly, and make a complete end, instead of hanging in the air, as if it were a never-ending torment.
After thinking about everything, he had a few tears in his eyes, and he was silent, but he held her hands and kissed her lightly on the forehead. Cui's face was suddenly flushed, his eyelids were slightly raised, and he looked at him with affection; He also cast the same gaze, and the two looked at each other hand in hand.
The atmosphere became too quiet, and Ye Yongjia realized what he had to say, so he was stunned and said, "Madam...... It's a beautiful day. ”
Cui Shi couldn't help but laugh out loud, grabbed his arm and said, "It's rare to have such a good opportunity, but you can't even say good things?" I've been with me for two years, and I'm still as shy as a newlywed. ”
Ye Yongjia said with a smile: "Ye has always had such a temperament, not to mention that when he encountered the night of flowers and candles in this cave room, he was even more nervous, which made Mrs. smile." ”
"Do I blame my husband...... "Cui Shi muttered softly, then pulled his hair and fell on his lap.
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she slowly raised her head and showed a worried expression: "Anyway, I heard that someone from my family came here this morning?" ”
This mediocre sentence touched Ye Yongjia's heart, he pretended to smile and replied, "The Cui family did send someone, there is nothing to say about this." ”
He ...... It's like I said something nasty and had a fight with you. ”
Ye Yongjia's face changed, and he sighed and said, "Madam doesn't need to ask anymore, it's not a big deal." Today is a day of great joy for you and me, and leave him alone. ”
After that, he was about to reach out to extinguish the light, but Cui Shi grabbed the cuffs tightly. She stood up, frowned, and said, "You really let him remove my family from the clan?" ”
Ye Yongjia sneered uncomfortably: "You can't enter the Cui family's genealogy, let them get rid of it." As long as you don't go back to your hometown, they won't do anything to you. ”
Cui's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a long time, and he couldn't help but choke out two lines of tears, and suddenly fell to the side of the bed, and began to cry loudly, shouting: "I have been waiting for them carefully, just for fear of provoking the anger of the old people in the clan; In this way, if I have a reputation for being unchaste, I will also suffer it, but if we are in this vein and are expelled from the clan, how can I still be worthy of my deceased father! ”
Ye Yongjia listened to her cries of collapse, his heart ached like a rope, and he just pinched the bridge of his nose repeatedly to prevent himself from crying: "Madame, can't you think more about yourself, do you have to take into account any heavenly principles and human feelings?" My brother-in-law is a man, and I don't have any worries about it. But his voice was a little choked.
Cui Yi wiped his tears, and his body twitched: "What kind of bastard my brother is, you don't know, he abandoned the great affairs of the sect, destroyed the deeds left by the ancestors, and carried a name of unfilial piety, even if he lives in the world, it is no different from a thief......"
Ye Yongjia's eyes became more and more red, and he slowly sat down next to Cui's and patted her shoulder blade gently, "Madam...... None of this has anything to do with you, it's not your fault, so why blame yourself for the mistakes made by others......"
"Whether it is my fault or not, the concubine herself understands; No matter what, I can only grit my teeth and go down, my husband doesn't have to be so comforted, but begging, but begging......" Cui Shi snorted a little, and his body curled up due to the cold.
"Madame said."
Cui's eyes seemed to be shining with crystal silver, and he sobbed and said, "But please husband as he did at the beginning, and still call me Miss Cui a few times...... Luckily? ”
Ye Yongjia suddenly burst into tears and laughed, making her snuggle up to his body. "Miss Cui, since you and I have made up our minds, we will call you that way in the future. It's not too early, it's time to turn off the lights, you sleep peacefully, and tomorrow you will surely sweep away all these sorrows! ”
With that, he exhaled heavily, blew out the candlelight, and the room was dark. At this time, the Western clock in the bell room rang clearly and reverberated in the ears for a long time.
"I respectfully ask the director Cui to return to the office after completing his service and taking office!"
Minghuiguang, who was sitting in the lobby, heard this shouting in his throat, and hurriedly went to see Gu Zheng go to see it, only to see Cui Yi sitting in a small sedan chair carried by the two of them, and countless officials flattered him along the way, until he came to the door and stopped, before he opened the curtain and walked down, and did not even salute the officials, so he stepped forward to joke with them, making the laughter inside and outside, and staggering.
"What kind of words are you talking about...... Minghuiguang rolled his eyes and muttered to the people around him, "A dignified member of the capital and a famous family, after a famous family, he is like a person in the mountains and wilderness, what kind of system!" dared to sit in such a sedan chair, without knowing the slightest modesty, and lost the face of his ancestors! ”
Gu Zheng said: "Ye Bingbu said that this person has great talent, and he will endure such small sections." ”
While he was talking, Cui Yi had already walked up to the court, and a certain bookstore said to him: "Your Cui family has been doing well recently!" ”
Cui Yi hurriedly said: "I don't know what Mr. is referring to?" ”
The clerk glanced at his sedan chair: "It is worthy of your sister's marriage, and when you are a younger brother, you can also follow it and sit in this bridal sedan chair!" With that, it caused a burst of laughter in the hall. Who knew that Cui Yi didn't mind, and smiled without saying a word.
"That's it!" Minghui slapped the table, and his tone was very solemn, "There is a big event to discuss today, you must not talk nonsense, it will ruin the atmosphere." ”
