After lunch, Zheng Yun and his wife led Zheng Junyan to leave.
Mrs. Zheng personally saw them off at the gate, and Mrs. Xue also led Ye Yuanzhou to see them off attentively. Ye Yuanzhou only felt that his mother's attitude was too enthusiastic, and he couldn't think of anything else for the moment.
After seeing off Zheng Yun and his wife, Ms. Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled pointedly at Mr. Xue: "You can rest assured and wait a few days before talking!"
Mrs. Xue smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work today, sister-in-law." But she didn't dare to say more, lest Ye Yuanzhou would notice it, so she changed the subject again: "By the way, Yuanzhou has to go back to the Imperial College, I'll go back right away.
Pack some luggage for him."
Zheng smiled and nodded. In her opinion, the matter had not yet been decided. Xue was probably afraid that Ye Yuanzhou would be embarrassed if she said too much. She never expected that Ye Yuanzhou would be kept in the dark about today's meeting.
Mrs. Xue led Ye Yuanzhou and Ye Qinglan back to Hefengyuan.
Ye Yuanzhou was in a hurry to leave, but after seeing Ye Qinglan, he hesitated to leave. While Xue was packing her luggage, he came up to Ye Qinglan and spoke: "Third sister, why are you talking to Liu today?"
My cousin showed up together."
Ye Qinglan smiled perfunctorily: "It's all my fault. I didn't know there would be guests coming today, so I took Sixth Sister to Luomei Courtyard. By the time I realized something was wrong, it was already too late."
In the warm afternoon, the sun shines through the window lattice into the side hall of Hefeng Courtyard. The pretty and beautiful girl sits there quietly, with her hands folded on her knees, and a ray of sunshine happens to shine on her pretty face as fair as jade.
, shining with dazzling luster.
Ye Yuanzhou looked at her quietly, his heart softening into a pool of spring water.
Ye Qinglan noticed that Ye Yuanzhou's eyes were bright and hot. She felt secretly shuddered. Xue felt relieved to leave her and Ye Yuanzhou in the side hall because there were at least five or six maids and women here. In full view of the public, Ye Yuanzhou would never dare
Do any inappropriate actions or say excessive words.
But this look...do you really think that everyone here is blind? How can any brother look at his sister like this?
Ye Qinglan calmly turned to the side, avoiding eye contact with Ye Yuanzhou, and asked unhurriedly: "Is the eldest brother still getting used to being in the Imperial College?"
Sure enough, when he mentioned reading, the obsession in Ye Yuanzhou's eyes immediately dissipated for the most part, and he replied with a smile: "The courses are much more tense than usual, and I can barely adapt. I have also made a few new friends with similar temperaments."
Ye Qinglan followed his words and asked: "Oh? What are they? Can you tell me?" No matter what we talk about, it is better than just staring at each other here.
This was the first time that Ye Qinglan was so concerned about his life. Ye Yuanzhou was naturally happy and spoke out one by one with a smile: "...these are the ones who just entered the Imperial College this year with me. By the way, I also got to know each other.
Speaking of which, a person is related to us by marriage, and he passed the Qiu Wei Jieyuan exam today..."
Ye Qinglan was startled, and a handsome and cute young face reflexively appeared in his mind. Could this person that Ye Yuanzhou was talking about be Cui Yu?
"His name is Cui Yu. He is the brother-in-law of his eldest cousin and the only son of Cui's family. Although he is a concubine, he is almost the same as a direct descendant." Ye Yuanzhou did not notice Ye Qinglan's subtle loss of concentration for a moment. He continued with a smile: "He is better than
I entered the Imperial College a few years ago, and he actually came to talk to me. It was probably because of the hall sister-in-law that he came to get to know me. I saw that he was sincere and very knowledgeable, so I became friends with him."
Cui Yu, that nerd, didn't care about Cui Wan's face. He took the initiative to befriend Ye Yuanzhou because Ye Yuanzhou was his biological brother!
Ye Qinglan couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, but she smiled calmly and said, "It's good for me to make friends like this."
Ye Yuanzhou was completely unaware of Cui Yu's infatuation for Ye Qinglan, and smiled to himself: "This Cui Yu is really a famous figure in the Imperial College. In terms of talent in reading, there may be someone better than him. However, in terms of hard work,
He passed the exam to understand Yuan at such a young age, which makes all of us feel ashamed."
Speaking of Qiu Wei, Ye Yuanzhou's eyes flashed with sadness. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to return to the capital and deliberately failed the exam... At this time, like Cui Yu, he might have been awarded the title of Juren and was happily preparing for the Spring Festival.
Bar!
For a young man who is arrogant and wants to get ahead, Qiu Wei's failure will probably be very painful every time he thinks about it!
Ye Qinglan seemed to have read through Ye Yuanzhou's thoughts, and said calmly: "Brother has already made a wrong step, and he must never make another mistake in the future." With a double entendre, he directly spoke to the most obscure thoughts in Ye Yuanzhou's heart.
Ye Yuanzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he did not dare to look directly into Ye Qinglan's bright, insightful eyes: "Third sister, I don't understand what you are talking about."
Don’t you understand? Ye Qinglan twitched the corners of her lips and said gently: “Since my eldest brother has entered the Imperial College, he will naturally have to study hard and pass the exam in three years before he can feel proud. My father and mother are also looking forward to that day!”
She wanted to remind Ye Yuanzhou that as a son, his impulsive actions had disappointed both his parents. But Ye Yuanzhou felt that this was Ye Qinglan's encouragement to her, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he solemnly responded: "Don't worry,
I will definitely study hard in the future and I will never let you down again!"
…
Brother, you are too self-righteous! You are not important enough to affect my mood, right?
Ye Qinglan didn't know what expression to put on for a moment.
At this moment, a cheerful voice rang at the door: "Brother!" A red figure came in like a gust of wind.
As soon as Ye Qingfu arrived, Ye Qinglan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was great, she finally didn't have to face Ye Yuanzhou alone.
However, Ye Yuanzhou frowned and did not welcome Ye Qingfu's arrival very much: "Why did you run out if you didn't stay in the room well?" There was a hint of coldness in his tone.
Ye Qingfu suddenly felt aggrieved: "I heard that you didn't leave, so I came here to talk to you." The eldest brother must be too biased! He was talking and laughing with the third sister just now, but when she came, the eldest brother's face suddenly darkened.
Came down.
Seeing Ye Qingfu's aggrieved look, Ye Yuanzhou immediately realized that his attitude was inappropriate, and hurriedly forced out a smile: "So that's the case. I have to thank my sister for that."
This attitude was about the same. Ye Qingfu didn't have any scheming and quickly put the unhappiness behind her. She pulled Ye Yuanzhou's sleeve and talked nonstop. Ye Yuanzhou had no choice but to listen patiently.
Ye Qingfu's hand accidentally touched a hard object, and she couldn't help but be startled: "Brother, what did you put in your sleeve?"
Ye Yuanzhou smiled and quickly pulled his arm back: "It's nothing."
Ye Qingfu pouted in dissatisfaction: "Brother lied again. There was obviously something in the hidden pocket of the sleeve, but I touched it from the outside of the sleeve. What on earth is it!" After saying that, she came closer.
She has always been a person who wants to get to the bottom of things. The more Ye Yuanzhou dodges, the more interested she becomes. She just pulls out the hard thing from the hidden pocket in Ye Yuanzhou's sleeve.
"This wooden box is really exquisite and beautiful." Ye Qingfu praised with a smile, completely unaware of Ye Yuanzhou's strange expression and Ye Qinglan's slight frown.
Ye Yuanzhou actually kept this wooden box close to his body...Does he know the danger involved? What would others think if he was discovered to be carrying a woman's hairpin with him? Those who didn't know would most likely laugh at him for having a sweetheart.
If someone knew the inside story, like Mrs. Xue, they would know who this hairpin was for at a glance.
Even if she refused to accept it, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
"Second sister, don't make trouble, return it to me quickly." Ye Yuanzhou's eyes flashed with panic, and he hurriedly wanted to snatch the wooden box back.
Ye Qingfu nimbly dodged away and opened the wooden box neatly: "Wow, this pearl hairpin is so beautiful. Brother, why are you wearing this on your body? Who are you planning to give it to?" She has never
I heard that the eldest brother has a sweetheart.
Ye Yuanzhou was annoyed and anxious, his handsome face completely darkened: "Ye Qingfu, if you don't return it to me, I will be angry."
Whenever the eldest brother calls her that with a straight face, it means he is really going to get angry!
Ye Qingfu reluctantly closed the wooden box in her hand and gave it back to Ye Yuanzhou. Ye Yuanzhou quickly and carefully put the wooden box away - this time, he didn't put it in a hidden bag, but stuffed it directly into his arms.
Ye Qinglan was very angry when she saw it, but she couldn't say a word more, not to mention feeling depressed.
But Ye Qingfu kept asking curiously: "Brother, which girl are you giving this hairpin to? Tell me, I promise not to tell mother a word."
Ye Yuanzhou naturally refused to say anything. Instead, he warned Ye Qingfu with a straight face: "You are not allowed to tell mother about this hairpin. If mother finds out and comes to question me, I will definitely not be able to spare you."
Ye Yuanzhou, who had a straight face, looked a bit gloomy. Ye Qingfu had never seen her brother lose such a temper before, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to talk anymore and nodded repeatedly.
Ye Yuanzhou felt relieved, his face softened a little, and he coaxed her a few more words: "Just pretend you have never seen this hairpin. When I come back, I will definitely bring you some fresh gadgets."
After being frightened and coaxed by him in this way, Ye Qingfu still had no temper at all: "Well, I promise not to tell."
"What are you talking about?" Mr. Xue walked in in high spirits and asked casually with a smile.
Ye Qingfu glanced at Ye Yuanzhou in a panic. Ye Yuanzhou immediately responded with a smile: "Nothing, my second sister and I were chatting!" Then she quickly changed the subject: "Mom, have you packed your luggage?
?I took a leave of absence this time, and the next time I will come back will be a month later."
Xue was in such a good mood today that she didn't notice Ye Yuanzhou's expression stiffened for a moment.
