Cui Wan refused to tell the truth and responded perfunctorily: "She is my grandmother's grandniece."
Cui Yu was not a fool. After a little thinking, he guessed the whole story: "Did she want her grandniece to be her brother-in-law's concubine?"
Cui Wan was speechless. This Cui Yu was said to be stupid, but sometimes he was surprisingly perceptive.
When Cui Yu saw that Cui Wan remained silent, he knew that he had guessed correctly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
This Jiang family, who appears to be amiable on the surface, is actually full of scheming. He couldn't get it from Zheng family, so he took advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble for the eldest son. The most pitiful person is his sister Cui Wan, who not only has to swallow this fact, but also has to accept this fact.
She must also be virtuous and generous in finding suitable concubine candidates for her husband.
I just hate that I am powerless. Although I feel sorry for Cui Wan, I can't do anything...
Cui Wan sat across from her, clearly seeing the annoyance and self-blame in Cui Yu's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. Although they were not born from the same mother, Cui Yu always respected her as her sister.
When something like this happened, he stood by her side without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Cui Wan said softly: "Second brother, you don't have to worry about me. I will live a good life and won't be bullied."
Cui Yu whispered angrily: "Are you okay with being called like this now? If my concubine gives birth to the eldest son in the future, what will you and Sister Qiao do?"
Cui Wan was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "Don't worry. I will never let anyone bully my Qiao sister."
Cui Yu wanted to say something more, but suddenly he thought of his biological mother who died of illness early. For some reason, his heart felt cold, and he swallowed the words he spoke.
No one spoke for a moment in the carriage, and the atmosphere was condensed.
Ye Qinglan broke the silence with a smile: "Brother Cui Shi, you will be taking the Qiuwei exam in a few months. How are you preparing?"
Cui Yu cheered up a little and responded: "There are many students in the Imperial College who are going to participate in the autumn period. The masters urge us to write articles every day. After this time, the half-monthly break will be changed to once a month. Wait.
After the Qiu Wei scientific examination is over, we will have a holiday."
It's a bit like the students in the third year of high school who study hard to prepare for the college entrance examination. However, the scientific examination at this time is much more difficult than the college entrance examination in later generations. After ten years of hard study, very few can get the honor of being a civil servant.
It's even rarer.
When the topic turned to this topic, Cui Wan couldn't help but give Cui Yu a few words of earnest advice. As the only son of the eldest family, Cui Yu has been placed on high hopes since he was a child. This year is his first time to participate in the Qiuwei scientific examination. Naturally, everyone is looking forward to him.
Can pass the exam in one fell swoop and shine brightly in the family.
Cui Yu listened honestly and did not take the opportunity to boast that his academic performance was the best among the Imperial Academy students of the same class.
Soon we arrived at Changyuan Bofu.
Cui Yu personally saw Cui Wan and Ye Qinglan to the door, his eyes full of reluctance, and he secretly glanced at Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan was very calm and calm. She said goodbye to Cui Yu with a smile, and then followed Cui Wan into the house. Cui Yu stood there blankly. He didn't turn around until the beauty's figure was gone and could no longer be seen.
It was getting late at this time. Cui Wan was secretly thinking about Sister Qiao, but she still went to Luomeiyuan first.
What a coincidence, brother and sister Ye Qingning and Ye Yuanwei were both there. Together with Ye Chengren, the eldest brother and sister were all here.
At this time, Ye Qinglan always seemed a little embarrassed. Fortunately, she was born with the ability to turn embarrassment into something natural. She approached Ye Qingning with a smile, and was honest and calm. She was not annoying at all.
Zheng was not in the mood to pay attention to Ye Qinglan at the moment, and asked Cui Wan directly: "Have you discussed it with your mother? Is there a suitable candidate?"
Cui Wan responded respectfully: "Mother said, the letter will be sent in ten and a half days at most."
Ten days and a half? Zheng frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied: "Why does it take so long?" Jiang already has a "candidate", if he can take advantage of this period of time to force Ye Yuanwei to come to his side, it will be fine.
Something is seriously wrong.
Cui Wan has long been accustomed to Zheng's sarcastic remarks, so she did not argue, but whispered: "Mother said she would try her best to do it as quickly as possible." This kind of thing is no different from other things. It's too hurried and anxious, in case you find someone who is restless.
what to do?
Zheng naturally understood this truth and said no more. She looked at Ye Yuanwei again and said, "Yuanwei, if your grandmother comes to you to talk to you alone, you have to be careful."
Ye Yuanwei responded casually.
Seeing his careless look, Mrs. Zheng was secretly worried and couldn't help but scolded: "Did you listen to what I said? Don't be impulsive and promise your grandmother anything. No matter how that Jiang Yingsheng looks, in short, I will never
She will not be allowed to enter our Uncle Changyuan's house."
She will never let Jiang's ideas succeed!
Ye Chengren had been silent for a long time, but now he opened his mouth and said: "Yuan Wei, what your mother said is right, you must not agree to this." Taking a concubine is a trivial matter, but once you get involved with the Jiang family, it won't do anything good.
Okay. Rather than causing trouble in the future, it would be better to resolve this matter early.
Seeing Ye Chengren's caution, Ye Yuanwei couldn't help restraining his joking and responded solemnly. Then he smiled and said: "Father and mother, you are too cautious. Taking concubines is my business, so of course I am the one who said it."
Forget it. No matter how much my grandmother wants, as long as I don’t agree, she can’t force me to marry that young lady from the Jiang family!”
Ye Chengren's eyes flashed but he didn't say a word. Zheng sneered and said, "You underestimate your grandmother too much." Since Jiang raised this matter, he must have some tricks up his sleeve, so he had to guard against it!
As expected, when she went to Changshun Hetang to pay her respects the next morning, Mrs. Jiang dropped a bombshell with a smile: "By the way, there will be guests in the house today, so you can all stay for lunch!"
Mrs. Zheng's heart skipped a beat, but she asked with a smile as if nothing had happened: "Oh? I wonder which distinguished guest it is that makes my mother-in-law so happy?"
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Speaking of this person, my sister-in-law should have seen her before. She is a young lady from the Jiang family, her maiden name is Jiang Ying. My mother-in-law has nothing to do every day, so she thought that it would be nice to have her as a guest.
Talk to relieve boredom."
Sure enough! Zheng gritted her teeth secretly, with a faint smile still on her face.
Cui Wan couldn't even smile anymore. She lowered her head and clenched her hands into fists in her wide sleeves. Jiang was simply too much! She just opened her mouth yesterday, and today she ushered people into the house.
Here comes...
Ye Qinglan was also startled, and looked at each other with Ye Qingning. The Jiang family was indeed pressing forward step by step, and was determined not to give up until Jiang Ying was brought into the house. How should the Zheng family and Cui Wan deal with this move?
But no matter how dissatisfied the elders are, it’s hard to say anything at this time. No matter what, the Jiang family is the serious successor of Changyuan Bo Ye Sheng. Who would let his niece and granddaughter into the house as a guest?
The right to say no?
"By the way, I also have some good news to say!" Ms. Zheng was not an energy-saving lamp, so she counterattacked with a smile: "Ms. Cui made a special trip back to her parents' home yesterday to discuss with her mother Yuan Wei's concubine. Her mother said
So I agreed, and said that there is a suitable one from the same clan in Cui Mansion. I will hear back in three to five days at most."
This time, it was Jiang's turn to stiffen her smile.
Mrs. Zheng has made it clear that she is competing with her, and she will not agree to accept Jiang Ying into the house no matter what. Huh! She wants to see who has better means this time.
Jiang's palace was extremely deep, and he returned to normal in just a moment, smiling and saying: "This is indeed good news. However, Yuan Wei's taking a concubine is not a trivial matter. You can't just find a girl. At least she must have outstanding appearance.
You have read books and know some words. Otherwise, you will wrong Yuan Wei. If it is convenient, it is best to have a look at him first. If you are satisfied, it will not be too late to accept him into the house."
This doesn't sound like much, but if you think about it carefully, it's enough to make people angry. It's clearly implying that the women of the Cui family are so beautiful that they are not attractive. If you think about it more deeply, wouldn't it mean that Cui Wan also dislikes it?
Already?
The people sitting there were all smart people, so naturally they understood the meaning of her words.
Cui Wan's body trembled slightly, her face turned pale, and she pursed her lips unconsciously.
Mrs. Zheng was usually very picky about Cui Wan, but when Ms. Jiang said this, she was also filled with displeasure. She twitched her lips and replied, "That's what my mother-in-law said."
Jiang had the upper hand and felt naturally comfortable.
Li was the best at catering to her wishes, and said with a busy smile: "I have met this young lady from the Jiang family twice. She has a pretty face and a very docile temperament. I really don't know which son has that."
It's such a blessing to be able to marry someone home!" He deliberately glanced at Mrs. Zheng, clearly indicating something.
Mrs. Zheng was angry and said with a half-smile: "Since my sister-in-law likes her so much, why not come and propose marriage to Yuanliang?" Ye Yuanliang is fifteen years old and is a second-class concubine. Although he is diligent, his talent and learning are mediocre.
So far, I have not passed the entrance examination for children.
Mr. Li smiled.
Jiang coughed and changed the subject: "It's rare for Sister Ying to come to the house as a guest. I'm afraid it would be too boring for an old woman like me to stay in Changhe Hall. Otherwise, we can clean up a guest room in Huancui Pavilion.
Let her live here! Sister Ying is about the same age as Sister Ning, so they can both talk."
Huancui Pavilion and Qinfang Garden are very close. If Jiang Ying lives in Huancui Pavilion, she will have more chances to meet Ye Yuanwei in the future.
Ye Qingning objected without thinking: "I'm not used to living with others. Let her live with her eighth cousin!"
Ye Qingrou had already received the warning and immediately said: "I have been feeling unwell these past few days, and I'm afraid I don't have the energy to take care of cousin Ying. I'd better ask Sixth Sister to put more thought into it!"
Ye Qingning felt angry, her pretty face turned cold, and she refused bluntly: "No, she can live wherever she likes. In short, she is not welcome in Huancui Pavilion."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Jiang's face tightened, and her tone was harsher than ever before: "You are really not polite at all! It's rare for Sister Ying to be a guest. Can't you live in Huancui Pavilion for a few days?"
