Volume I, One Hundred and Seventy-Eight
Cao Hu Fan went out of his head in a daze, and when he arrived in the front yard, a nephew reported to him: "There is a person who comes to the door to ask to see ......."
Cao Hu Fan instantly thought of what his daughter said just now, and couldn't help sneering: "It's coming quickly...... This kid is in a hurry?
The nephew had a strange face and handed over the name sticker: "I see that he has an extraordinary bearing, and he wants me to give you this"
"In this world, the matchmaker is also famous? What a big breath, when he is a scholar" Cao Hu fan turned at will, his face suddenly changed, his eyes bulged out, and he woke up suddenly: "See you soon, I'll greet you in person, it's the county lord who is here."
The county order Lu Ming visited in person, like a boulder falling into the water, it stirred up waves in the Cao family, if it was something else, the news that Ye Qing asked to marry Cao Baijing left with a smile in the county order, and after Cao Hu Fan drank wine and swayed out, it immediately spread throughout Zhuangzi, shocking the ground: "How is this possible?"
Then, throughout the afternoon, Cao Baijing was summoned by the old lady, and after coming out, she was surrounded by a group of people, looking at everyone in surprise and gossip, she could only smile bitterly: "I don't know what to do."
No one would believe it, even if his father Cao Hu Fan came and secretly asked: "You ...... I have long seen this kid as a traitor, and if he dares to lose my daughter's name, I will have to ......fight with him."
"Father" Cao Baijing was depressed, and his face was slightly red: "What are you talking about, how can your daughter be this kind of person, and Ye Qing will not be ...... Besides, I'm Wanbi, and the aunts in the clan all know the way. β
But what else is possible besides "marrying a son"?
Cao Hu Fan didn't ask deeply, and he was half-convinced, but he sighed to people: "Ye Qing and my family Bai Jing, childhood sweethearts, meet each other, indulge in the middle of the jinshi, never forget the old people, they are really affectionate and trustworthy people." β
But all relatives who are familiar with the inside story know that it has not reached this level, but they all spread it as a good story that everyone likes to hear.
Cao Baijing felt that she should be happy, but she couldn't sleep at night.
She got up in a crisp cloak and slipped towards Yejiazhuang, it was easy to cross the perimeter, and she was discovered when she passed through the second line of defense, but now the rules are not strict, the Ye family knows everyone up and down, and knows that she is now Ye Qing's fiancΓ©e, so they all turn a blind eye.
Cao Bai Jingtu regretted a little, and at this time he opened the bow without looking back, and knocked on Ye Qing's door.
It was Qianqian who opened the door, Cao Baijing knew that she and Ye Qing were in love, and even received the Jinshi Mengyin quota, she was a magician, she understood the meaning, and she was secretly envious and jealous when she thought about it, but when she saw the real person at this time, she was a little at a loss: "Qianqian......"
"Come in" Qianqian smiled, with the same attitude as before: "Childe has been waiting for you for a long time." β
Cao Baijing went in, Ye Qing was writing some articles under the lamp, and he didn't stop writing at this time, saying: "Cousin is here, you sit down first, and then talk when I finish writing."
Cao Baijing stared at the new two-list jinshi, who was only seventeen years old, and at this time in the house, he was only wearing underwear, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like an unranked talent.
Who would have thought that he would dare to kill people at the age of fifteen, and win Tongsheng and Xiucai again and again, and at the age of sixteen, he punished thirty armor soldiers in a row, forcing the son of the Yu family to flee for his life, and then he won a state to solve the yuan, turned the clouds and rain, and bought 10,000 acres of land and houses at a low price, and in the second year, he won the list and became a celestial
In a daze, Qianqian served tea, the same warmth as before, when she came, she was obviously full of words to ask, but she couldn't say it at this time, just said: "It's different from what I said that night." β
"I'm Jinshi, alas, you say this, it makes me lose face, in the imperial capital, the royal sister of the county king wants to be my wife......" Ye Qing put down the pen and turned his face to say.
Seeing that the two women were fiercely white-eyed, they couldn't help coughing lightly: "This is a joke, what were you thinking just now?"
"I'm thinking about you, how can you have so many talents? Even the imperial examination does not stagnate at all, and the cultivation of Taoism is much faster than others" Cao Baijing was a little melancholy: "I still remember the year before last when we held a banquet and talked together, at that time even Tongsheng was only obtained, in a blink of an eye, it was Jinshi, if you were just my cousin......"
The words are not said here, she is gradually sobering up now, realizing that things are off the track, and the agreement she planned at the beginning, with Ye Qing's promotion, the dominant power is no longer in the hands of her, a little magician.
"Even if I am a Jinshi, I am also your cousin, this is a fact that cannot be changed. Ye Qing put down the pen and yawned.
"Although I'm not a man, I've read books, and I know that there is no pie in the sky, what do you want? Don't talk about the nonsense of childhood sweethearts......
"It's a childhood sweetheart" Ye Qing sighed, her eyes were sincere, and when she saw that she was about to speak, she waved her hand: "You listen to me first." β
"What is home?"
"If you look around, the walls are framed with mulberry paper, the windows are covered with precious cicada wing yarn, the silk curtains, the bookshelves are scattered, and the maids come and go, all of which are rich and noble, and can hardly be compared with the old huts and humble rooms. β
"But the environment can change, people can't change, if there is no Qianqian, no Cao Baijing, no warm atmosphere in this mansion, can this family be considered a home?"
Ye Qing's eyes were soft and sad, and he looked at the two women gently: "Some people say that if you want to get something, you have to pay something, but I don't think so."
"Tonight we talk under the candle, hand to hand, I hope that this kind of day will continue day by dayβyes, I have insatiable desires, and there are many, many things in this world, and I will not hesitate to die for this. β
"It's just that when I look forward to coming back, many years later, it will still be the red sleeves tonight - the clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as the old."
Cao Baijing listened, suddenly enlightened, this young man has great ambitions, but he has a deep temperament, this contradiction is in one place, but it is extraordinarily harmonious, what he wants is to live in peace tonight, and he wants to remain warm forever, and he can't help but smile: "That's it? You're too greedy."
Seeing that she understood and moved, Ye Qing reached out to cover her white jade-like hand, and took Qianqian's hand again: "You are all people who grew up with me, I hope to come back in the future, you are all there, forever." β
"This is very greedy, but Sister Bai Jing, can you let me get my wish?"
Cao Baijing struggled to avoid his scorching gaze, glanced at Qianqian, and didn't know what it was like to be in his heart, the things of the world were really upside down and intoxicated.
After a long time, she sighed gently: "If you want to do this, what else do I have to say?"
After a long time, Cao Baijing regained some of her original spirit and began to bargain: "It's okay to be your wife, but there are still conditions, allow me to go back to my parents' house freely - it's not easy to train me as a magician at home."
Ye Qing changed his smile at this time: "You are my wife, it will be too conspicuous if you go back, if you use discord as an excuse, even your mother's family will not agree, right?"
Cao Baijing snorted and grinded his teeth: "Please, are you okay...... I'm your cousin. β
"Oh, I respect you very much, cousin, but the reason you say, even your mother's family won't mention it - you are my wife, and you still have this little compensation?"
Cao Baijing turned her back and was annoyed: "Grandmother said that you are humble and gentleman on the surface, but in fact you are arrogant, make decisions for others, and think that it is good for others to be an ally, and it is unlucky to be a vassal and wife." β
"Oh, is it?" Ye Qing raised his eyebrows, smiling rather than smiling, secretly thinking that Yao Lao Taijun's evaluation was really to the bone, Ye Mengqiu, Ye Zifan, Uncle Fang, and even himself, aren't they this kind of people?
However, Ye Qing still backed down a little, and smiled: "As for returning home, I really miss my relatives, you can go back and ask without a long eye, as long as you look happy and say that I love you very much."
As he spoke, Ye Qing smiled.
The enemy is not as cheeky as the traverser, Cao Baijing got goosebumps all over his body when he heard this, and he couldn't help but glance at him and got up: "It's not early, I'm leaving." β
Saying that, he hurried away, looking at her back and going away, Ye Qing smiled slightly, and saw Qianqian's contemptuous expression in a blink of an eye, Ye Qing was sneering, and complained in his heart, the women in the family are now smarter than the other, and this harem dream is crumbling
Looking at the night, my heart calmed down again, this marriage is just the beginning, three media and six hires, etiquette exchanges, and it will take half a year soon, or it can be completed before the bandits...... Or can you also take advantage of the wedding day to surprise the bandits' nest?
Well, in this case, I'm afraid no one in the family will be satisfied.
At this time, the sky was already dark, but many people were hanging lights, reflecting brightly, and they didn't feel dark, so they suddenly became interested and said to Qianqian: "Let's take a walk?"
Saying that, he moved, and Qianqian hurriedly carried a lantern behind to travel, at first it was still bright, and after a while, he saw that the night was faint, and the night wind swept by, and the originally familiar garden felt dark and lonely in this night, a little like a world away.
Ye Qing walked all the way, seeing the rippling black water and the spring breeze blowing the willows, he walked along the corridor step by step, crossed a small bridge, bypassed a small building, and stopped in front of the pavilion stone halfway up the hill.
I saw that the lights below were dark and bright, but in the dark were tenants and family children, in order to save oil, they went to bed early, even if they were lit, they were indistinguishable, and it was obvious that they were weaving overnight.
The bright parts are connected, but they are all people with some identities, and even the sound of silk bamboo and reading can be faintly heard, Ye Qing couldn't help but smile.
Under the spiritual sense, this light is luck, connected into a piece, compared with the previous two years, but it is a lot of gain, there are signs of prosperity.
Moreover, in the distance, there was already a trace of white and red air penetrating through, not big, some temptation, but no looking back.
This is the luck of the Cao family, originally there was only a few exchanges with the Ye family, and they were a little guarded, but when Ye Qing clearly proposed to marry Cao Baijing as his wife, he subverted the original pattern and brought it together.
It doesn't take much time for the two families to connect, and it doesn't take much time for the master-slave trend to form.
Of course, this is a side benefit, if Ye Qing marries the daughter of Junwang, the luck gathered will be much stronger than this.
Looking at Qianqian, Ye Qing stared into the distance, what he said just now was all true, or it could make Cao Baijing agree - he really hoped that the current home would never change.
