Madam Ye did not wear her usual white undershirt and green skirt today. Instead, she wore a smokey purple undershirt embroidered with hibiscus and a magenta skirt with gold thread. She also had a rare gold bun in her hair. Although she did not apply rouge, But she also put on some powder, which seemed to be more delicate and beautiful than her usual elegance. 【Read full text】
Xu Nuo stared at Lady Ye sideways for a moment, and couldn't help but feel annoyed that he didn't notice Lady Ye's change earlier.
Mrs. Ye chuckled lightly, waved her hand in front of Xu Nuo, and said, "You kid, how come you keep looking at me like you've never seen me before? I'm not trying to sell anything to you, that person is Liu Tongpian."
Liu Tongpan?
Xu Nuo was startled again after hearing this.
Suzhou's original magistrate and magistrate were Xu Gucheng and Ding Erye respectively. Their transfer orders came at the same time. It seems that Liu Tongpan could only arrive in Suzhou in early July at the earliest.
He has only been here for just two months, and already he and Madam Ye are discussing marriage?
Mrs. Ye is thirty-one this year. I wonder how old Liu Tongpan is this year. He can’t be an old man!
How could Madam Ye marry the old man! Xu Nuo cursed herself a few times in her heart.
Although Xu Nuo's expression remained calm, Mrs. Ye could see that her steps were fast and slow, and she knew she had something on her mind.
The girl who had always been steady in dealing with things was unexpectedly distracted by her own marriage. Madam Ye couldn't help but raise her lips. She took Xu Nuo's hand and slowed down her pace, putting some distance between herself and the heirs of the Ye family in front of her.
She was very satisfied with this apprentice she had unexpectedly accepted, whether it was his understanding of tea ceremony or his own personality. Although she rarely praised him, she always liked Promise in her heart.
Mrs. Ye didn't mind telling Xu Nuo the whole story, so Xu Nuo listened to a long love affair.
This Liu Tongpan was the same age as Mrs. Ye and came from the northwest. He is not from a wealthy family, but he can be considered a scholarly family.
He once had a wife, but his wife fell seriously ill and died soon after the marriage. He stayed filial piety for his wife for three years, and then passed the Jinshi examination. His official career was smooth sailing, he fulfilled his duties and was a breeze. But it has never been renewed.
Until I met Mrs. Ye by chance seven years ago. love at first sight.
Liu Tongpan had intended to marry Mrs. Ye back then, but after learning about the rules of the Ye family, he hesitated repeatedly and finally gave up.
After seven years, he still couldn't let go of Mrs. Ye. He never married a wife. No matter where he went to serve as an official, he would come to Suzhou every year to see Mrs. Ye. Once, he even just glanced at her from a distance through the crowd.
This time he requested a transfer and came to Suzhou. Just for Mrs. Ye.
Mrs. Ye's friendship with Liu Tongpan was not that deep, because she had already planned to spend her life alone. He also once advised him to get a wife and have children.
But I met him many times in the past few days and had a good conversation. I am very satisfied with him. He has the vicissitudes of years and is steady and persistent. These were qualities she valued, and he was willing to marry her.
It took seven years for a resolute man to accept his wife's marriage, just to stay with her.
that's all. Madam Ye's heart, which had not fluctuated for many years, trembled slightly and she agreed.
Mrs. Ye is an elegant person. This kind of love affair would be described as vigorous in the mouths of others, but she only used the simplest language to explain the cause and effect to Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo was shocked after hearing this. This Liu Tongpan was indeed a very affectionate person, whether it was for his previous wife or Lady Ye.
Mrs. Ye has never given in to love for many years, nor will she give in to love because of worldly views, nor will she find someone to marry at will. Now her persistence has been rewarded, and she has such a loving husband.
After the shock, Xu Nuo realized that Madam Ye's marriage had been decided half a month ago. At her current age, the sooner she got married, the better. Why delay it until the end of September?
An idea flashed in my mind, and I remembered what I had said: "Master, I am leaving soon. I will never have the chance to learn tea ceremony from you again. I may be bothered by you a lot these days, so please don't kick me out."
If Madam Ye gets married, she will definitely not continue to teach tea ceremony in the Xu family. Madam Ye will not be delaying time for her sake, right?
Xu Nuo was a little surprised when he thought about it, and there was a little apology on his face.
Mrs. Ye had a keen mind, so she didn't know what Xu Nuo was thinking. She smiled and said: "You child, how can anyone get married immediately? They must take it slow. Even though I am old, I won't be particular about one or two months." effort."
Mrs. Ye has always been serious and serious, giving people a deserted feeling. She also dresses simply, but now she starts to talk half-jokingly.
Xu Nuo realized Mrs. Ye's change and said concisely: "Then I would like to congratulate the master here first. I wish the master a big fat boy in the next year."
"You kid!" Mrs. Ye smiled silently. His ex-wife died early, and it was delayed for more than ten years. The first important thing for her after getting married was to have a child. Liu Niang was right.
I'd like to lend you some good words.
When the two climbed to the top of the mountain, several young men from the Ye family had already laid out the mats, the tea sets were neatly arranged, and Ye Qingchen was ordering tea.
Xu Nuo walked closer and saw that the tea on his tea soup was exactly the scenery at the bottom of the mountain.
The sky is blue, the trees are rich and lush, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing...
Beautiful scenery, beautiful tea, very relaxing.
After drinking tea, I promised to stand on the edge of the mountain and quietly appreciate the beautiful scenery here. I thought that I would leave soon before I had a good look at the scenery here, and seemed a little reluctant to leave.
"Mrs. Xu Liu."
A clear voice came from behind, and Xu Nuo knew it was Ye Qingchen. She turned around and saluted, "I've met Ye Langjun. Thank you for your hospitality." Although she had met Ye Qingchen many times, this was the first time she was alone.
"It's just a cup of tea, no need to say thank you." Ye Qingchen's clothes were blown up by the wind, his eyes were clear, and a bright smile bloomed on his young face: "Xu Erlang wrote to me and said that he would go to the Lu family to study, and he would go there the year after tomorrow. Yingtian Academy.”
He knew that in order to repay Ji Xuan, the Xu family gave Ji Xuan a place at Yingtian Academy and asked Xu Pingqi to postpone his admission.
"He is studious, just like everywhere. I asked you to take care of him earlier." Xu Nuo pulled back a few strands of hair from his temples and answered with a smile.
Since Xu Pingqi wrote to Ye Qingchen, why not write to her! What about exchanging information? Just let her go? It's a pity that she still writes a letter every few days to report the situation seriously.
Ye Qingchen looked at Feng Da, saw Xu Nuo frowning, and motioned her to stand back, and then said: "Actually, he takes care of me. I don't work more seriously than him." His eyes were pious, and he seemed to be thinking the same thing in his heart. Verbal compliments.
Xu Nuo looked at Ye Qingchen's still childish face, and remembered that her mother had been talking about how outstanding Ye Qingchen was these days. She also remembered that Xiao Yuan once said that her father and mother were very fond of Ye Qingchen, and she couldn't help but be shocked. She didn't want to have a sibling relationship, and the old cow eats the young grass. She can't do it.
Even if you eat young grass, you can't harm such an outstanding person. (To be continued)
