Ye Qinglan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Mr. Xue didn't ask any further questions.
If that pearl hairpin really sees the light, it would be strange if Ms.
Ms. Xue gave Ye Yuanzhou a few polite instructions and sent Ye Yuanzhou out. Before leaving, she seemed to have said unintentionally: "You two, please stop running around."
It was exactly what he wanted! Ye Qinglan was happy to avoid Ye Yuanzhou and immediately agreed.
Ye Yuanzhou glanced at Ye Qinglan quickly before reluctantly leaving. At this time, he had no idea that his life-long event would soon be decided...
Xue suppressed her temper and waited for another five or six days, and finally received the good news from Zheng Guogong's mansion.
"...The eldest brother and sister-in-law saw each other that day and were quite satisfied with Yuanzhou. Today I sent a message, saying that Yuanzhou and Sister Min are not young anymore. Since they want to get engaged, it is best to get married.
Make a decision before the end of the year." Mrs. Zheng smiled and recounted Mrs. Xu's words: "However, there are still all the formalities that should occur on the surface."
Mrs. Xue was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Of course. I will ask the official matchmaker to come to propose marriage." At this time, wedding customs and etiquette were complicated, from proposing marriage to exchanging marriage invitations and then to betrothal, which took at least two or three days.
Months of effort. If you want to officially get married before the Chinese New Year, you have to move quickly.
Mrs. Zheng reminded again: "Third brother, do you know this?" It is a life-long matter for children, and Ye Chengli has to nod his head.
Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I have already sent a letter to Zhengzhou. The master is very satisfied with the marriage. He wrote a letter back specifically and asked me to handle the matter properly and not to wrong Sister Min.
Son."
Mrs. Zheng felt relieved and said, "That's good. It's better to let my parents-in-law know about such a big event first."
Mrs.
It’s a good thing.”
Ye Qingning is about to marry into the Zheng Guogong Palace as the eldest grandson-in-law, and Zheng Min is marrying Ye Yuanzhou, who is the third wife of the family. In the future, the relationship between the Zheng Guogong Palace and Changyuan Bo Palace will become even closer. Naturally, this is a good thing!
Jiang didn't feel very comfortable in her heart. She glanced at Zheng intentionally or unintentionally, and then said, "Why was it that there was no news before, and suddenly you are going to propose marriage?"
The Zheng family is already prestigious enough in the house. If there is another niece from her mother's family, wouldn't it completely win over the third wife? It's really a good idea.
Mrs. Zheng smiled faintly and said nothing. Ms. Xue had already rushed to accompany her and smiled: "My daughter-in-law has fallen in love with Sister Min a long time ago. She specially asked her sister-in-law to help negotiate a marriage. Because I don't know if she can deny this marriage, so
I had been embarrassed to say anything. Now that I finally got a definite reply, my daughter-in-law felt relieved and came here to report the good news to her father-in-law and mother-in-law. I hope my mother-in-law will not take offense."
Mrs. Li interjected with a smile on the side: "Third brother and sister, it's not me, the second sister-in-law, who is talking about you. For such a big event, you should be informed in advance. Even if we don't talk about getting married, we are all a family. Who would make fun of you?
You can't do it? If you have decided this matter with your sister-in-law in private, where will you put your father-in-law and mother-in-law? "
These words may seem like a joke, but they are actually very sharp, and they are directed at Mrs. Zheng. The implication is clearly that Mrs. Zheng does not take her parents-in-law seriously.
Xue's smile was a little stiff, and she didn't know how to defend herself.
How could Mrs. Zheng fail to hear the meaning of Mrs. Li's words? A sneer flashed across her eyes. She replied slowly: "The second younger brother and sister said that, which makes me ashamed. However, the third younger brother and sister begged to come in front of me.
As a sister-in-law, I can't help but agree. I thought I would report it to my father-in-law and mother-in-law when the matter is settled, so as not to make the marriage fail and upset the two elders."
Mrs.
Zhou really deserves to be beaten." He actually took all the responsibility on himself.
Normally, Mrs. Xue would never take the initiative to stand up and admit her mistakes. However, Mrs. Zheng had put so much effort into Ye Yuanzhou's marriage, so she had to reciprocate the favor.
Sure enough, when she said this, Mr. Li couldn't hold back on Ms. Zheng and said with a smile: "I am too talkative. This is a happy event, and we really shouldn't care about these details."
In front of Ye Sheng, Mrs. Jiang naturally couldn't say anything more. She smiled lightly and said: "Since we have decided on Sister Min, we should handle this matter properly and don't lose etiquette."
Ye Sheng also smiled and said: "Things that need to be purchased must be bought from the public house in the mansion."
Mr. Xue responded respectfully.
Ye Qinglan soon learned the good news, not to mention the joy in her heart. Half of the big stone that weighed on her heart suddenly disappeared.
For the next few days, Ms.
Ye Chengren came forward.
Ye Chengli was far away in Zhengzhou and couldn't handle this matter in person, so he felt a little regretful. His order sent a thick stack of banknotes. After having these banknotes, Xue became more confident. The betrothal gift was very generous.
, no matter how picky Zheng Yun and his wife are, they really can’t find fault.
As the saying goes, people feel refreshed during happy events. Xue was in a good mood and was busy at the same time. She finally relaxed a lot towards Ye Qinglan. She allowed Ye Qinglan to go to Huancui Pavilion or Qinfang Garden and stay for half a day. In fact, she couldn't wait for Ye Qinglan now.
It would be better to get closer to the person in the long house.
Ye Qinglan finally lived a leisurely and comfortable life again. Except for showing up in front of Mr. Xue every morning and dusk, she resumed her old habits the rest of the time. She practiced piano and needlework with Ye Qingning every day, and spent time with Qiao Qiao.
Sister and Cui Wan.
Cui Jing's belly is getting bigger and bigger, her body is clumsy, and she is too lazy to move around. And because she has some freckles on her face, she is reluctant to even leave the house.
Cui Wan is now showing her bosom, wearing loose clothes, her belly is slightly bulging, and her face is full of gentle smile, giving her a leisurely and indifferent beauty.
"Sister-in-law, you have become more and more beautiful after becoming pregnant." Ye Qinglan praised sincerely.
Cui Wan burst into laughter: "I have gained a lot of weight, and I have some spots on my face. How beautiful I am. Don't make me happy."
Ye Qinglan smiled playfully and said: "A woman who is going to be a mother is the most beautiful." The gentleness, calmness and love radiating from the inside out are much more beautiful than the delicate appearance.
Cui Wan pursed her lips and smiled softly. Since becoming pregnant, her mentality has undergone subtle changes, becoming calmer and more leisurely, and even the occasional dark emotions in the past have disappeared.
No matter whether the child in her belly is a boy or a girl, it is a gift from God. She wants nothing more!
"By the way, I haven't seen Aunt Cui for many days." Ye Qinglan asked curiously: "I often come to Qinfang Garden, why can't I always see her?"
Cui Wan slightly smiled helplessly and said: "Jing Niang is clumsy and refuses to go out and walk around." In fact, there is another reason. Cui Jing thinks that her belly looks too ugly, and she has freckles on her face, making her even more uncomfortable.
I'm willing to meet people.
Ye Qinglan thought about it for a moment, then understood, and couldn't help but say: "The more it is at this time, the more it is time to get out and move around more. Pregnancy and childbirth are difficult for women, so they must pay attention to exercising more on weekdays."
Cui Wan sighed: "I have tried to persuade her, but she just refuses to come out, and there is nothing I can do."
Cui Jing refuses to leave the house. In addition to this reason, there is another more important reason. Cui Wan is also pregnant now. Ye Yuanwei almost holds Cui Wan in his hands and hurts her. Cui Jing will only feel uncomfortable when she looks at it.
, it’s better to stay out of sight.
This topic is a bit unpleasant for pregnant women. Ye Qinglan immediately dropped the topic: "It's really boring to stay in the house every day."
Ye Qingning interrupted with some dissatisfaction: "Hey, what do you mean by this? Is it boring to be with me every day?"
Ye Qinglan immediately apologized, as if she had honey on her lips: "It's okay, I wish I could accompany Sixth Sister like this every day. However, since Sixth Sister got engaged, she has never left the house again. I am
You said that because I feel sorry for you!"
When the subject of engagement and marriage came up, Ye Qingning didn't have the strength to resist, and glared at Ye Qinglan with a slightly red face.
Cui Wan smiled and smoothed things over: "If you two feel bored, just invite cousin Gu to stay for a while."
Speaking of Gu Xiyu, Ye Qinglan's heart suddenly softened. It had been three or four months since Gu Xiyu left Changyuan Uncle's Mansion, during which time she had been sent two or three letters. She had also been interested, but when she thought of Gu Xinian
...and immediately gave up the idea of staying at Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Ye Qinglan was silent, and Ye Qingning said from the side: "Cousin Gu said last time when he came to pick up cousin Xiyu that he would have to wait at least until the New Year before letting her go out as a guest again. Let's just wait until the New Year.
." Anyway, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so we don't have to wait too long.
Cui Wan smiled and mentioned the happy events in the house again: "Jing Niang will give birth in the next year, Qing Ning's wedding date has been set, you will get married in May next year. Yuan Zhou's marriage has also been set.
There are so many happy events in our house."
Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed slightly and she smiled happily: "Yes, it's really nice to have so many happy events in the house."
Cui Wan vaguely felt that Ye Qinglan's smile was a little subtle, but she didn't think much about it. She just smiled and said: "Yuanzhou hasn't been back these days, I'm afraid I don't know yet!"
This happy event has been known to everyone in Changyuan Bo's Mansion, but Ye Yuanzhou, who is studying hard in the Imperial College, has no idea at all. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote,
