Ye Qingning shrugged casually: "That's impossible to say. My uncle and aunt have always been very concerned about cousin Zheng Min's marriage, so cousin Zheng Min is already fifteen and has not made a marriage decision yet. Although the fifth cousin is good, it is not
I know if I can get into the eyes of my uncle and aunt."
As the saying goes, when marrying a wife, you should lower your head when marrying a daughter. When marrying a wife, the important thing is to look at the appearance and character of the other party, while marrying a daughter pays more attention to the family background of the other party. Zheng Min was born in the Duke of Zheng's palace. Although she was a concubine, her family background was very prominent.
. Those who are unable to achieve high level and low level are the reason why they have been delayed till now. Ye Yuanzhou is the eldest son of the third concubine of the Changyuan uncle's house. Such an identity may not be appreciated by Zheng Yun and the Xu family.
Ye Qinglan smiled and said: "As long as the eldest aunt helps to negotiate an agreement, there is no reason why it won't work."
Ye Qingning felt naturally relieved after hearing such words, and then heard Ye Qinglan say again: "Sixth sister, can I ask you something?"
Ye Qingning gave her a rude look: "Just tell me what you have to say, why are you being so polite to me?"
"Actually, I want to ask you to say something nice for eldest brother in front of my eldest aunt." Ye Qinglan rarely beat around the bush and said very directly: "Eldest brother failed to pass the exam this autumn and has been in a bad mood. As a younger sister, I
It doesn't feel right in my eyes or in my heart. If this marriage can happen, I will be very happy."
The last sentence is pure nonsense. If Ye Yuanzhou knew that Ye Qinglan was secretly looking forward to him getting married, he would be so angry.
Ye Qingning, however, did not doubt that he was there, and even murmured: "Third aunt is indifferent to you, but you are kind-hearted. You still take care of their affairs."
Ye Qinglan sighed deliberately: "No matter what, he will always be my biological brother. I naturally hope that he will get married soon and marry a good sister-in-law. Even if I get married in the future, I will have someone to rely on in my mother's family, right?"
When she said this, Ye Qingning remembered that Ye Qinglan's biological mother died early, and Xue was not very kind to her. She would get married in a few years, and the only one she could rely on was Ye Yuanzhou.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingning suddenly felt a little soft-hearted, thought for a while and said: "Okay, I will go and beg my mother tonight."
Ye Qinglan was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Sixth Sister."
Ye Qingning did what he said. He went to Luomeiyuan that afternoon. Zheng was calling a few housekeepers to talk. Seeing Ye Qingning coming, she said with a smile: "Ning'er, you came just in time. The shopkeeper of the cloth shop just sent some
Come here with the samples and pick out some fabrics of the colors you like. These are reserved for your trousseau, you have to like them yourself."
It was said that they were just some samples, but that was too modest. Silks and satins of various colors were neatly placed, filling almost half of the room.
Ye Qingning has always loved beauty and likes to pick fabrics the most. He immediately became interested and looked at it carefully for a long time. He picked about a dozen types before stopping. Zheng felt that she had not picked enough, so she helped pick another seven or eight types.
, gathered together twenty pieces of cloth.
Ye Qingning was thinking about what Ye Qinglan was begging for. After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "Mother, did the third aunt come here again today?"
Mrs. Zheng hummed indifferently.
These days, Ms.
Mr. Xue. Even if he wants to help with this, he has to let Ms. Xue wait a little longer.
"Mother, just agree to your promise to Third Aunt!" Ye Qingning unexpectedly interceded for her.
Mrs. Zheng raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Why do you care about this?"
Ye Qingning pretended to be shy and smiled and said: "Cousin Min will be my sister-in-law from now on. Of course I will care about her life-long affairs! My fifth cousin is handsome and has an upright and gentle personality. He is a perfect match for Cousin Min."
Zheng nodded first, and then glanced at Ye Qingning meaningfully: "Did Sister Lan ask you to say these words?"
...How can you guess so accurately!
Ye Qingning coughed: "Ten sister just mentioned a few words casually, that's what I thought in my heart!"
When Mrs. Zheng saw that she kept defending Ye Qinglan, she couldn't help but feel angry and funny at the same time. She glared at Ye Qingning: "You, you listen to that girl in everything. I don't know what kind of rice soup she fed you to coax you.
Totally determined."
Ye Qingning disagreed in her heart, but did not argue with Zheng. She just laughed and said, "Mother, just tell me whether you agree or not!"
Mrs. Zheng was offended by her coquettishness, and immediately softened her heart: "Forget it, your uncle and aunt are coming over in two days to discuss the wedding date, I'll mention it then."
Ye Qingning was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. That night, he sent Zhixia to Hefeng Courtyard to tell Ye Qinglan the good news: "...it is inconvenient for the young lady to come over, so I specially ordered my servant to come and tell Miss Ten. She also said that Miss Ten can rest assured, she must be in Mrs.
I always say good things to the Fifth Young Master in front of me."
When Ye Qinglan heard the news, her spirits suddenly lifted, and she quickly smiled and said, "Thank you Sixth Sister for me." As expected, Ms. Zheng was the most willing to listen to Ye Qingning's words.
Zhixia responded with a smile and said a few words before leaving.
Ye Qinglan kept thinking about this matter in his mind. As long as Zheng opened his mouth, Zheng Yun and his wife would not reject Ye Yuanzhou outright even if they were not satisfied with it. If they want to promote this matter, they have to work harder...
…
Just as I was lost in thought, I heard Hong Luan come to report: "Miss, please come over and talk."
It just so happened that she also had something to tell Mrs. Xue. Ye Qinglan responded quickly and went to Mrs. Xue's house.
Ye Qinglan had always been polite in front of Mr. Xue and would never let Mr. Xue find any fault. After bowing, she quietly stood aside and listened to Mr. Xue's instructions.
Xue's face didn't look good, and she asked solemnly: "Did Yuanzhou go to find you the night before he left?"
Ye Qinglan was shocked, but her face was calm: "Yes, the eldest brother has indeed gone to find me." How did Mr. Xue know about this?
It seems that Ye Yuanzhou must have been noticed by a servant when he slipped out in the middle of the night, and quietly reported it to Mr. Xue. Mrs. Xue could naturally guess where Ye Yuanzhou went.
Xue's face became more and more ugly, and her eyes were full of clouds: "Why didn't you tell me about this? It's so late at night, even brothers and sisters have to avoid suspicion, how can they be alone?"
...Sure enough! It was obviously Ye Yuanzhou who took the initiative to come to her, but Xue blamed everything on herself.
Ye Qinglan secretly sneered in her heart, but responded respectfully: "Mom, please calm down. It was late at night, and my eldest brother came to see me. I was shocked. Fortunately, my eldest brother only stayed for a while and then left. Ruixue also stayed
They are all here. My eldest brother went to the Imperial College the next day. After much thought, I thought it would be better not to tell my mother about this, lest she be unhappy."
Since Ruixue was here, Ye Yuanzhou probably didn't say anything outrageous.
Xue's face softened slightly, but her voice was still cold: "This will not happen again!"
Ye Qinglan responded respectfully, but rolled her eyes in her heart. From beginning to end, she was innocent, okay?
It was obviously Ye Yuanzhou who took the initiative to find her, but she didn't have time to hide. How could she take the initiative to provoke Ye Yuanzhou? Ms. Xue was too defensive and unreasonable.
Mrs. Xue looked at Ye Qinglan's pretty face that was becoming more and more beautiful and dewy, and she felt a wave of pain in her heart. Yuan Zhou liked no one, but he was interested in his own sister. If this kind of thing spread... No way.
, she must resolve the matter as soon as possible.
Not only must the marriage be arranged for Ye Yuanzhou as soon as possible, but also this annoying girl must be married off as soon as possible. There is no need to find a family that is too high, just find a random family to marry...
Ye Qinglan's soft voice sounded in Xue's ears: "I heard from Sixth Sister that mother wants to marry her eldest brother, right?"
Mr. Xue was startled and looked straight at Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan remained calm and composed under Mrs.
A few words. Just now, the Sixth Sister sent Zhixia to tell me that the eldest aunt has agreed to arrange this marriage for the eldest brother."
When Mr. Xue suddenly heard the good news, his eyes lit up: "Is it true?"
Ye Qinglan said with a smile: "How dare I lie to my mother about this kind of thing. If my mother doesn't believe it, just go to Luomei Courtyard and ask my eldest aunt tomorrow."
Unexpectedly, she didn't have the guts to lie to herself.
Xue's mind suddenly became more active, and her tone became much gentler: "You did quite well in this matter."
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "As a younger sister, I naturally hope that my eldest brother will marry a good sister-in-law and have a good future in the future." The words "sister and eldest brother" were deliberately emphasized.
From the beginning to the end, it was Ye Yuanzhou who had inappropriate thoughts. She had no intentions towards this eldest brother.
Sure enough, Xue's face looked much better.
Ye Qinglan took the opportunity to speak out her previous plan: "My daughter has some things in her heart that she doesn't want to express, and she also asked her mother not to be angry. The sixth sister's uncle and aunt were more cautious about cousin Zheng Min's marriage, so they postponed it until the fifteenth day.
The marriage has not been decided yet. Even if the eldest aunt opens her mouth, I am afraid they may not nod and agree immediately. Why not tell the eldest aunt and let them meet the eldest brother when the time comes. With the appearance and character of the eldest brother, they will definitely
We are in love. When the time comes, this marriage will be a matter of course."
This is a good idea. When talking about kissing, it is normal for parents to look after their children, so it is not considered rude.
Mrs. Xue nodded unconsciously, with a smile in her eyes: "You have indeed put a lot of thought into it."
"The daughter just wants to share her mother's worries." Ye Qinglan said as sweetly as honey: "Actually, I don't need to say these methods, the mother can naturally think of them. But the daughter is too talkative."
For Ms. Xue, what makes her most comfortable is not that Ye Qinglan contributed to it or came up with any good ideas, but that Ye Qinglan showed magnanimity. As long as Ye Qinglan is not half-hearted about Ye Yuanzhou, she should cut off this bad relationship.
Much easier.
When Mrs. Xue was in a good mood, she became more pleased with Ye Qinglan. She smiled casually and said: "Okay, I know what you mean. You should go back and rest early!" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome.
