This voice is so familiar! Ye Qinglan was also startled and turned around to look over.
Not far away stood a handsome young man dressed as a scholar in Tsing Yi. His face was slightly red, but his eyes were shining. Who else could it be if he wasn't Cui Yu?
What a coincidence! It was a rare trip to Cui Mansion for her, and she met Cui Yu by chance. Ye Qingning was like a clairvoyant, and unluckily he encouraged her to follow him to Cui Mansion, and then he met Cui Yu again.
Cui Yu. Could this be the legendary fate?
Ye Qinglan was embarrassed silently.
Cui Yu couldn't help but took a few steps forward and stammered: "Sister Ten, you, why are you here?"
Seeing her back from a distance, his heart began to beat wildly. Although he hadn't seen her face clearly yet, he intuitively felt that it must be Ye Qinglan. The moment she turned her head, he could almost hear
Hear the pounding of his heartbeat.
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly and said in a clear and sweet voice: "I came back with my cousin-in-law. I didn't expect to meet Brother Cui Shi by such a coincidence." In front of her calmness and calmness, his excitement and panic seemed even more youthful.
Cui Yu saw himself hurriedly scrambling in her clear, watery eyes, and his face suddenly turned red. The more he tried to show a calm side, the more he couldn't do it. He couldn't even speak: "I,
It's my turn to rest. I didn't expect you to be here. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone to the bookstore and come back earlier... No, I mean, I really want to see you... No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I
I didn't mean to be rude and offensive, don't worry, Sister Ten. I just..."
The more he spoke, the more confused he became, and in the end he had no idea what he was talking about.
Cui Yu was so upset that he almost wanted to bite off his tongue. He didn't dare to look directly into Ye Qinglan's eyes. He behaved so badly, she must be angry with him!
Ye Qinglan's expression was indeed a little strange, but she was not angry, but trying to hold back her laughter.
This young and immature boy is like a clear spring water, you can see the bottom at a glance. Everything in his heart is displayed on his face, and you don't need to figure out his mind to know what he is thinking at the moment.
To be honest, his embarrassed look is quite cute. She is a mature woman who has lived for more than 20 years. Naturally, she will not argue with a young boy. Besides, such words are extremely harmful to a young girl.
It's a big compliment, but it's not really an offense.
"Brother Cui Shi, don't be nervous." Ye Qinglan smiled gently: "I'm not angry."
It was just a simple polite word, but it sounded like the sound of nature to Cui Yu's ears.
"Really?" Cui Yu's shining eyes reminded people inexplicably of a cute little animal. A small and cute loyal dog suddenly appeared in Ye Qinglan's mind, barking at the owner to please...
Ye Qinglan coughed and drove these messy thoughts out of his mind. He smiled and replied: "It's been half a month since we last saw each other. How is Brother Cui Shi doing lately?"
Cui Yu's expression was still a little excited, but he finally spoke more fluently: "I study and study in the Imperial College every day, and my life is pretty much the same every day."
However, his mood was different from before.
In the past, he only had books in his eyes and mind. But now, he is always absent-minded when listening to lectures or writing articles. From time to time, a beautiful and refined face flashes in his mind. He feels inexplicably happy and happy. He often sits there.
Smiling in a daze.
Such an obvious abnormality naturally attracted the attention of his classmates and friends. They all took turns asking him if he had a sweetheart. He had always been open-minded and always felt that there was nothing he could say to others. But this time, no matter who asked, he
Not a single word was revealed.
This is his only secret. He keeps that pretty face and name quietly in his heart. He doesn’t want to share it with anyone!
Ye Qinglan quietly led Cui Yu to chat for a while. Cui Yu's nervous mood had calmed down a lot, but his delicate face was still red.
Ruixue and Guiyuan were standing beside Ye Qinglan. Ruixue suddenly winked at Guiyuan, hinting that Guiyuan would step back with her.
Guiyuan didn't understand Ruixue's meaning for a moment and looked at Ruixue blankly.
Ruixue blinked at Guiyuan again. Guiyuan finally understood this time. She quietly retreated a little further with Ruixue and stood at the intersection of the trail. Such a distance would not hinder Cui Yu and Ye Qinglan from talking, and would also allow them to communicate with each other.
Every move of the two people can be seen at any time.
Guiyuan moved closer to Ruixue and whispered: "Sister Ruixue, this Mr. Cui seems to like our lady very much."
Is there any need to guess? Anyone who is not blind can see it!
Ruixue lowered her voice: "This is a good thing, let's not talk too much." Maybe the young lady's marriage has arrived! Although Cui Yu is a bit of a scholar, his family background, character and appearance are impeccable. If the young lady can marry
Coming to Cui Mansion to be a young mistress is a really good match.
Guiyuan glanced at the young man and woman not far away and showed a knowing smile.
The young lady and Mr. Cui stand together, they really match each other very well!
Cui Yu's excitement finally calmed down, and then he remembered an important question: "By the way, why did the eldest sister come back suddenly?" It is not easy for a married daughter to return to her parents' home. In the past five years,
Cui Wan only comes back once or twice a year at most. Why did she come back suddenly today?
Ye Qinglan hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell the truth: "My grandmother and eldest aunt insisted that my cousin take a concubine. My cousin came back, probably to discuss the matter."
What? Concubinage?
Cui Yu's smile suddenly disappeared, and there was a hint of anger in his voice: "Brother-in-law, does this mean the same thing?"
Ye Qinglan thought for a while and replied matter-of-factly: "I don't know either." Ye Yuanwei does have some feelings for Cui Wan. But men are greedy for novelty. Who knows if Ye Yuanwei is secretly happy at this moment?
Cui Yu clenched his fists and said angrily: "It's too much to dare to bully my eldest sister like this. I will go to my brother-in-law to settle the score right now!" After saying that, he turned around.
Ye Qinglan didn't expect Cui Yu's reaction to be so violent. She was stunned and hurriedly shouted: "Wait!"
Cui Yu's footsteps paused.
Ye Qinglan walked up to Cui Yu, blocked Cui Yu's way, and advised tactfully: "Don't be impulsive. After all, this is a matter between their husband and wife. I don't know what it is like. You might as well ask first.
Ask your cousin sister-in-law and it’s not too late to make a decision.”
When she said this, Cui Yu realized that his actions were indeed too impulsive, and nodded sarcastically. But he still felt depressed and uncomfortable in his heart.
As her name suggests, my sister Cui Wan is a gentle and virtuous woman. My brother-in-law Ye Yuanwei has always been kind to her. But the sudden appearance of concubinage is like a fly falling into a bowl of soup, which makes people feel sick...
Ye Qinglan seemed to know what Cui Yu was thinking, and said gently: "I know you feel uncomfortable after hearing the news. But when things have reached this point, it is inevitable for my cousin to take concubines. My cousin and sister-in-law have been living together these days.
She has been in a bad mood. If you see her, be careful what you say so as not to make her sad again."
Cui Yu nodded obediently, and then said angrily: "The eldest sister is such a good woman, why is the brother-in-law still not satisfied and still wants to take a concubine? Isn't it good for the husband and wife to live a loving life?"
Seeing that he was in a low mood, Ye Qinglan joked jokingly: "Maybe in a few years you won't think so." Romantic men who wander around are common in modern times, and in ancient times where they can have three wives and four concubines, it is even more common.
.Ye Yuanwei can almost be regarded as clean and self-sufficient.
Cui Yu said without hesitation: "I will never do this!" Looking at Ye Qinglan, he said seriously: "If I marry a wife, I will treat her wholeheartedly and never take concubines in my life."
Ye Qinglan was dumbfounded and didn't know how to deal with it for a moment. This Cui Yu, although he was said to be stupid, was not that stupid. He actually knew how to take the opportunity to express his feelings...
Although she didn't want to admit it, she was really touched at this moment.
Cui Yu's eyes were very sincere, leaving no doubt about his determination when he said this. Regardless of whether he could really do it, at this moment, the fact that he could say such a thing was already impressive.
Perhaps, she should change her original mind. Cui Yu may really be a good candidate to be a husband...
Cui Yu stared at Ye Qinglan and said softly: "Sister Ten, I know that what I said is too abrupt and presumptuous. However, what I said is true. You probably know some things. After my mother gave birth to the eldest sister, she never gave birth to her eldest sister.
Son, so my father took a concubine, and then he had me. Unfortunately, my biological mother has been in poor health since she gave birth to me. Then she got seriously ill and died."
After a pause, Cui Yu's voice deepened: "My father and mother have always been very good to me. Especially my mother, who treats me as if I were one of my own. I also respect my mother as my biological mother. However, I always think of my
Biological mother…”
When his biological mother passed away, he was still a puzzled child. He was ignorant of everything. But as he got older, a suspicion gradually arose in his heart. What disease did his biological mother have, and why did he not see her for two years?
Would he have died early? If the biological mother had given birth to a daughter, would she have lived longer?
But no matter how suspicious he is, he will never verify these things. These questions that cannot be spoken can only be hidden in the bottom of his heart forever, and He cannot be noticed. Otherwise, He will definitely be hurt. No matter what,
The He family treated him really well. Although he was a concubine, he was no different from a direct descendant.
He secretly swore from a very early age that he would marry a congenial wife in his life and would never take a concubine! He would not let his children taste the sadness of being a concubine...
Cui Yu's voice became lower and lower, and there was a glint of water in his eyes.
Ye Qinglan looked at Cui Yu quietly, with a trace of pity in her heart. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
