Marrying a wife requires three matchmakers and six betrothals, and all the etiquette is very complicated. Taking a concubine is much simpler.
Ye Yuanwei didn't even come to marry him in person. He only sent his personal entourage, and then stayed at the house to greet relatives and friends. Cui Wan specially dressed up today with a bright and beautiful look. From the outside, no one knew that she was complicated and unspeakable.
Bitter taste.
There were not many guests here today, they were all very close relatives and friends who walked around on weekdays. Some of Ye Yuanwei's colleagues and friends came.
According to the rules at this time, a girl who has not left the court cannot easily see outsiders. Those who have made a marriage agreement are not allowed to show up at will.
Therefore, Ye Qingning could only stay bored in Huancui Pavilion, complaining angrily: "It's so boring." Qinfang Garden must be very lively at this time, but she could only stay in Huancui Pavilion,
It's really boring.
Ye Qinglan burst into laughter. Ye Qingning has always loved to be in the limelight, so he couldn't show off his face at such a rare opportunity, and he didn't know how frustrated he felt: "Am I not here to accompany you?"
Ye Qingning remained silent. Ye Qinglan's marriage had not yet been decided, and he should have seized every opportunity to show his face. But he stayed with her, which was very loyal.
Seeing that Ye Qingning's mood was waning, Ye Qinglan deliberately joked: "Today is the wedding day for my cousin to take a concubine. Cousin Zheng will definitely come to have a wedding banquet. Do you want to secretly see him?"
As expected, Ye Qingning blushed and spat at Ye Qinglan. She was determined not to admit that she had secretly had this idea! After getting married, the two of them met day and night, and there were many opportunities to meet. She did not want to see her fiancé...
How could Ye Qinglan not see her arrogant girlish thoughts, she laughed happily.
Ye Qingning was a little annoyed. Not to be outdone, he retorted: "The people who went to Cui Mansion to welcome the bride will come back later. Maybe Cui Yu will follow. You don't have to think about going to see him quietly, he will definitely come to you.
"
Ye Qinglan immediately raised his hands in surrender: "Can we say something else?"
Ye Qingning gained the upper hand, and his mood suddenly improved a lot. He smiled and joked: "Why should you be embarrassed in front of me? I fell in love with you at first sight. Don't be stupid. Don't miss such a good opportunity."
This is not the first time Ye Qingning has said this. Ye Qinglan avoids talking about it as always. Zuo Gu said to him: "I'm a little hungry. Is there anything good to eat?"
Here we go again! We just had lunch not long ago. How could we be hungry again?
Ye Qingning couldn't help but glared at her, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Hey, hey, don't go too far, okay? I've told you everything. What do you think of Cui Yu? You should
It’s not that you didn’t take a fancy to him!”
Ye Qinglan coughed: "I haven't thought about this problem carefully..."
"What else is there to think about?" Ye Qingning stared at her with a look of hatred: "The third uncle and the third aunt are far away in Zhengzhou and can't care about you at all. Even if they come back, they will only care about you first.
Arrange the marriage for your ninth cousin. When it is your turn, you still don’t know what kind of family they are! The Cui family is a serious scholarly family. Cui Yu is the only son of the eldest son. If you miss such a good marriage, you will still be in trouble.
Where to find it?”
Although his tone was fierce, the concern in his words was clearly visible.
Ye Qinglan felt warm in her heart, and her eyes were gentle and sincere: "Sixth sister, you are so kind to me." This can be regarded as Ye Qingning's care.
Ye Qingning snorted slightly uncomfortably: "It's good that you know. Okay. Don't want to change the topic again. Today I have to ask you clearly. What are you thinking in your heart?" In short, Mr. He
He has already fallen in love with Ye Qinglan. Cui Yu's feelings for Ye Qinglan are even more clear. Even if Ye Qinglan does nothing, He will probably come to propose marriage.
However, girls always have some romantic feelings in their hearts. Wouldn't it be more beautiful if two people were in love?
Seeing that she couldn't hide away, Ye Qinglan had to confide a few words: "Actually, I also think Cui Yu is quite good." From the current point of view, Cui Yu is probably the best husband candidate.
Although she doesn't want to get married early, but since she lives in this era, she has to abide by the rules of this era. What's more, there is a big hidden worry in Ye Yuanzhou, so she has to plan her marriage as soon as possible. Cui Yu's temperament
He is innocent and cute, bookish and very easy to get along with. If you really marry him, your future life should be peaceful and happy!
But deep down in her heart, there was always a voice quietly singing the opposite tune.
Marriage is a lifelong event, which means that two people will stay together day and night for life. She only has a slight affection for Cui Yu, but she is far from falling in love with him.
She has always had extremely high demands on relationships, insisting that she would rather be in love than in excess. That's why she became an older, unmarried young woman. The love she expected was by no means a plain and thin goodwill. What she wanted was the beauty of heart-to-heart connection, and the joy of two people.
Joy is the eager longing that one day is like three autumns apart, and the throbbing that makes your heart blossom when you think of the other person.
She didn't feel this way about Cui Yu.
Okay, it seems a bit pretentious to say this. But she really thinks so. At least, she doesn't feel excited yet.
Ye Qinglan did not express these complicated and contradictory feelings.
Although Ye Qingning is not good at observing words and expressions, she is a very smart girl. She obviously guessed Ye Qinglan's thoughts. She was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "The most important thing is to be in the right family. Don't think too much."
The so-called love is actually not that important. Without worrying about gains and losses, life will be peaceful.
Ye Qinglan cautiously probed: "Sixth sister, are you still thinking about Cousin Gu?"
This was the first time Ye Qinglan took the initiative to mention Gu Xinian's name in front of Ye Qingning since her trip to Ciyun Temple.
Ye Qingning's expression was unexpectedly calm, but there was a little sadness in her eyes: "It doesn't matter whether you think about it or not." The important thing is that she has already made a marriage agreement with Zheng Junyan, and she will probably get married next year and become the eldest granddaughter-in-law of Zheng Guogong.
.She no longer has the right to think of Gu Xinian again.
Seeing Ye Qingning pretending to be calm, Ye Qinglan suddenly felt a little sour in her heart.
This evil feudal society has suppressed the nature of boys and girls to yearn for love. Even saying more words will be regarded as frivolous. If you are heartbroken, you don’t even have the right to cry. Ye Qingning can only bear all the sadness.
They kept it all in the bottom of their hearts, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Ye Qinglan has never missed the world she has lived in for more than 20 years as much as she does now. In that world, women, like men, could go to school, study and work, and could fall in love, marry and divorce freely. Now, she can't do anything...
The two girls had their own thoughts and were in no mood to talk. The room was quiet, and they could only hear each other's slight breathing.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Qingning composed herself and asked a little impatiently: "What's the matter?" She hated being disturbed when she and Ye Qinglan were talking alone.
Zhixia's voice rang out: "Miss, Mr. Gu from Duke Dingguo's Mansion is here. He is in the side hall..."
What? Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan were both shocked and stood up in unison.
After Ye Qingning heard Gu Xinian's name, his mood was so agitated that he couldn't calm down at all. As for Ye Qinglan, her mind was racing very fast.
It was natural for Ye Yuanwei to take a concubine and for Gu Xinian to have a wedding banquet. But, what did he come to Huancui Pavilion specifically to do?
Are you looking for Ye Qingning to reminisce about the past? Impossible! With Gu Xinian's temperament, since he has simply rejected Ye Qingning, there is no way he can get involved with Ye Qingning again. What's more, Ye Qingning is already engaged, so he should
It's better to avoid suspicion.
So, what's the reason for his coming? Did he come to see her specially?
Although thinking this way felt like putting money on her face, Ye Qinglan intuitively felt that Gu Xinian was here for her!
Zhixia waited for a while and saw that there was no movement in the room. She couldn't help coughing and reminded: "Miss, Mr. Gu is still waiting in the side hall!"
Ye Qingning took a deep breath and calmed down: "Okay, Shimei and I will go over right now. You...you can ask someone to serve some tea and snacks."
Zhixia responded and quickly retreated.
In the room, Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan looked at each other, their eyes were very complicated and subtle.
"Ten sisters, tell me, what did Cousin Gu come to see me for?" Ye Qingning's eyes flashed with unconscious expectation and joy. Even though she knew that Gu Xinian could not have any other thoughts, her heart
But suddenly it started beating violently uncontrollably.
Ye Qinglan wanted to say something, Sixth Sister, you really think too much. Gu Xinian is obviously not here to find you.
Although she thought so, Ye Qinglan followed Ye Qingning's words and said, "Maybe I want to come and talk to you."
Ye Qingning bit her lip gently, but her eyes lit up.
Ye Qinglan secretly thought something was wrong, and reminded her in a low voice: "Sixth sister, please be calmer, don't lose your composure later..." Ye Qingning is the one who is engaged, and she must not treat her like before.
Gu Xinian spoke.
Ye Qinglan didn't say this sentence, but Ye Qingning understood it immediately and fell silent. Yes, Shi Mei was right! She should be calmer and not lose her temper when she gets excited...
Ye Qinglan tugged on Ye Qingning's sleeves and whispered: "It's time for us to go out. Don't keep Cousin Gu waiting in a hurry."
Ye Qingning nodded, and naturally took Ye Qinglan's hand, and the two of them led each other out of the house. The side hall for entertaining guests was only a few steps away. But these short steps were much longer than usual.
After walking for what seemed like a long time, I arrived at the door of the side hall.
Ye Qingning stopped unconsciously and glanced at Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan was actually feeling anxious and uneasy, but she pretended to be nonchalant and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, let's go in together."
Ye Qingning forced out a smile and nodded vigorously, feeling a bit like a strong man breaking his wrist.
Ye Qinglan gathered her mood and walked into the side hall. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
