Cao Hushan went out sadly. When he got to the front yard, a nephew reported: "There is a man who came to see me..."

Cao Hushan instantly thought of what his daughter said just now, and couldn't help but sneer: "He came very quickly... This boy is in a hurry? Miss you."

The nephew looked strange and handed over the name tag: "I think he has extraordinary bearing, so he asked me to give you this."

"In this world, the matchmaker also has a name? What a big tone, I think I am a scholar." Cao Hu flipped his fan casually, his face suddenly changed, his eyes bulged out, and he suddenly woke up: "See you soon.

, I personally greeted him, it’s the county magistrate who is here.”

The county magistrate Lu Ming visited in person, which caused waves in the Cao family like a boulder falling into the water. If it were for other things, the news of Ye Qing's proposal to marry Cao Baijing was heard by the county magistrate and left with a smile, while Cao Hushan waved it away as if he had been drunk.

After that, it immediately spread throughout Zhuangzi, and everyone's eyes were shocked: "How is this possible?"

Then, throughout the afternoon, Cao Baijing was summoned by the old lady. When she came out, she was surrounded by a group of people. Facing everyone's surprised and gossipy looks, she could only smile bitterly: "I don't know either."

No one believed it, even his father Cao Hushan came and asked secretly: "You... won't do anything in private, right? I've long seen this boy as a loyal and treacherous man. If he dares to harm my daughter's reputation, I will have to find him."

He fights..."

"Father" Cao Baijing was depressed, her face slightly red: "What are you talking about? My daughter is such a person, and Ye Qing is not... Besides, I am Wanbi, and all the aunts in the clan know it."

But other than "marrying with a son", what other possibilities are there?

Cao Hushan couldn't ask further, so he went out half-believed and half-suspicious, but he said with emotion: "Ye Qing and my Bai Jing, childhood sweethearts, have known each other since they were young, and even though they were promoted to Jinshi, they never forget their old friends. They are truly affectionate and trustworthy people."

However, all the relatives who were familiar with the inside story did not know that it was to this extent, but they all regarded it as a good story that everyone loved to hear.

Cao Baijing felt that she should be happy, but she tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep.

She stood up in her clothes and used the Dao method to sneak towards Yejiazhuang. It was easy to cross the perimeter and was discovered when she passed the second line of defense. However, the rules were not strict now and everyone in the Ye family knew each other.

Knowing that she was now Ye Qing's fiancee, they turned a blind eye.

Cao Baijing suddenly felt regretful. At this time, she fired her bow and knocked on Ye Qing's door without turning back.

The one who opened the door was Qianqian. Cao Baijing knew about her relationship with Ye Qing and even accepted the Jinshi title. She was a magician and understood the meaning. She usually felt secretly envious and jealous when she thought about it, but when she saw the real person, she felt a little at a loss: "

flourishing……"

"Come in." Qianqian smiled, with the same attitude as before: "Young Master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Cao Baijing went in, and Ye Qing was writing some articles under the lamp. He kept writing and said: "Cousin is here? You sit down first, and we will talk after I finish writing."

Cao Baijing stared at this newly-qualified second-ranked scholar. He was only seventeen years old. He was wearing only underwear in the room, and he looked like a scholar who was not yet ranked.

Who would have thought that at the age of fifteen, he would dare to kill people brazenly, and win over children and scholars one after another. At the age of sixteen, he would kill thirty soldiers in a row, forcing the young master of the Yu family to flee for his life, and then he would win the title of Jieyuan, and everything would turn upside down.

He bought tens of thousands of acres of land and houses at a low price, and the next year he won the second place in the rankings and became a heavenly being.

While he was in a daze, Qianqian served tea with the same warmth as before. When he came, he was full of questions to ask, but now he couldn't say them. He just said: "It's different from what I said that night."

"I am a Jinshi. What you say makes me lose face. In the imperial capital, the princess's sister wants to be my wife..." Ye Qing put down his pen and turned around.

Seeing the two women rolling their eyes fiercely, they couldn't help but cough lightly: "This is a joke, what were you thinking just now?"

"I'm thinking about you, how can you be so talented? You have never stopped passing the imperial examinations, and your Taoist practice has improved much faster than others." Cao Baijing was a little melancholy: "I still remember the banquet and conversation we had the year before last. At that time, even Tong Sheng

I have just achieved it, and in a blink of an eye, I am a Jinshi. I wish you were just my cousin..."

She stopped talking. Now she gradually came to her senses and realized that things had gone off the rails. As Ye Qing had been promoted to the original plan, the initiative was no longer in the hands of her little magician.

"Even if I am a Jinshi, I am still your cousin. This is an unchangeable fact." Ye Qing put down his pen and yawned.

"Although I am not a man, I have read books and know that there is no such thing as pie in the sky. What do you want? Don't talk nonsense about childhood sweethearts..."

"She's a childhood sweetheart." Ye Qing sighed with a sincere look. Seeing that she was about to speak, he waved his hand: "Listen to me first."

"What is home?"

"Look around you. The walls are all covered with mulberry paper, the windows are covered with expensive organza, heavy silk curtains, the bookshelves are well-proportioned, and the maids are there to serve you. These are all signs of wealth, and they can hardly be compared with the huts and huts of the past."

"But the environment can change, but people cannot. If there were no Qianqian, no Cao Baijing, and no such warm atmosphere in this gorgeous house, would this house 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 something, you have to pay for it, but I don't think so.

"Tonight we will talk by candlelight and compare hands with each other. I hope that this kind of life can continue day by day - yes, I can't satisfy my desires. There are many people in the world who want it, and I would not hesitate to pile up mountains of bones for it."

"It's just that when I look forward to coming back, many years later, the red sleeves will still add fragrance tonight - the clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as before."

Cao Baijing listened and was suddenly enlightened. This young man had great ambitions but was affectionate. These contradictions came together, but they were exceptionally harmonious. What he wanted was to live in peace and warmth tonight, and he wanted to remain unchanged forever. He couldn't help but smile:

"That's it? You're too greedy."

Seeing that she understood something and was moved, Ye Qing stretched out his hand to cover her white jade hand, and then took Qianqian's hand: "You are all the people who accompanied me when I grew up. I hope that when I come back in the future, you will all

It will never change."

"This is very greedy, but sister Bai Jing, can you let me get my wish?"

Cao Baijing struggled to avoid his burning gaze and took a look at Qianqian. She didn't know what it was like in her heart. Things in the world were so upside down that she couldn't help herself.

After a long time, she sighed softly: "If you do this, what else can I say?"

After a long time, Cao Baijing regained some of her original energy and began to bargain: "I can also be your wife, but there are still conditions. Allow me to return to my parents' home freely - it is not easy for my family to train me as a magician."

Ye Qing changed his expression with a smile at this time: "You have become my legal wife. If you go back, you will be too conspicuous. If you use discord as an excuse, even your mother's family will not agree, right?"

Cao Baijing snorted and gritted her teeth: "Please, please... I'm your cousin."

"Oh, I respect you very much, cousin, but the reason you mentioned will not even be mentioned by your mother-in-law - you are my legal wife, so you still lack this compensation?"

Cao Baijing turned her back and said angrily: "Grandma said that you appear to be a humble gentleman, but in fact you are arrogant and make decisions for others. You also think that it is good for others and you only need to be an ally. If you become a vassal, your wife will be in bad luck."

"Oh, really?" Ye Qing raised his eyebrows, half-smiling, secretly thinking that Old Mrs. Yao's evaluation was really profound. Aren't Ye Mengqiu, Ye Zifan, their uncles and even himself this kind of person?

However, Ye Qing still gave in a little and smiled: "As for returning home, I really miss my family. You can ask me questions casually when you go back. As long as you look happy and say that I love you very much, that's all."

As he spoke, Ye Qing smiled.

No match for the traveler's shamelessness, Cao Baijing felt goosebumps all over her body. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and stood up: "It's getting late, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he hurried away. Looking at her back, Ye Qing smiled slightly, and in the blink of an eye he saw Qianqian's contemptuous expression. Ye Qing was just talking about it, complaining in his heart that the women in the family are now smarter than the other. This harem dream is in the future.

It's crumbling

Looking at the night, my heart calmed down again. This wedding is just the beginning. There are three matchmakers and six betrothals, and the etiquette is exchanged. It will take half a year soon, and it may be completed before the bandits are suppressed... or it may be possible to use the wedding day to make a surprise attack.

Bandit's lair?

Well, if that's the case, I'm afraid no one in the family will be satisfied.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, but many people had lights hanging on them, which reflected the light brightly, so it didn't feel dark yet. He suddenly became interested and said to Qianqian: "Shall we take a walk?"

As he spoke, he started walking, while Qianqian hurriedly held a lantern behind him. It felt bright at first, but soon he saw the darkness of night, the night wind passing by, and the familiar garden felt dark under this night.

Lonely, a bit like a world away.

Ye Qing walked along the way, seeing the black water rippling and the spring breeze blowing 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.

And looking.

I could see that the lights below were dim and bright, but in the darkness there were tenants and their families having children. They went to bed early to save oil. Even if they were lit, it was still dim and indistinguishable, showing that they were weaving all night.

The bright parts were connected together, but they were all from families of some status. You could even faintly hear the sound of strings and bamboos and reading, and Ye Qing couldn't help but smile.

Under spiritual awareness, the lights are like luck, connected together. Compared with the previous two years, it has increased a lot and shows signs of prosperity.

Moreover, in the distance, there was already a trace of white and red air coming through. It was not big. It was a little tentative, but it didn't look back.

This is the luck of the Cao family. Originally, they only had a few interactions with the Ye family and were somewhat defensive. However, when Ye Qing made it clear that he would marry Cao Baijing as his official wife, the original situation was overturned and everyone came together.

It doesn't take much time for the two families to be connected, and it doesn't take much time for the master-slave relationship to be formed.

Of course, this is a side benefit. If Ye Qing marries the daughter of a county official, his luck will be much better than this.
