This grand wedding banquet with loud gongs and drums, illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun that rose in the east and set in the west, finally came to an end the moment the groom entered the bridal chamber.
Xie Yihua and Qi Lan's "park tour" also ended with the end of the wedding banquet, and both of them were quite unfinished.
What the two people talked about had nothing to do with romance, let alone the love between men and women. They only talked about the elegance of poetry and calligraphy, quotations from classics, history from ancient times to the present, or some anecdotes about famous people.
After a serious talk, the two found out that the other's views were quite similar to their own, and both of them loved the late Chu poet Mu Han, who was well-known and was known as the number one poet in the world of poetry throughout the ages.
Mu Han's talent is unparalleled in the world, and his lyrics and music have lasted through the ages. Before him, his lyrics were almost always solemn and solemn, or he could describe the sorrow and sorrow of a close friend.
However, his style of writing is romantic and uninhibited, describing mountains and rivers, free and easy, and is often respected by many romantic and talented people. However, it has not been widely circulated among gentle and dignified people. Unexpectedly, gentle and elegant people are like Qi. Lan, as dignified as Xie Yihua, is actually a "fan" of Mu Han. The two are rare "like-minded" people.
On the contrary, there is a bit of sympathy and reluctance to part with each other.
So when the two were about to separate, Qi Lan personally sent Xie Yihua, his newly made "confidant", into the carriage. Although it attracted many sideways glances and whispers, neither of them paid attention.
The two people held hands and saw each other off in the warm spring breeze, reluctant to leave. It wasn't until the carriage and horse turned a corner and the flow of people blocked the last shadow that they looked away from each other...
"Second Young Master, just now the Crown Princess came over and sent a message, saying that the whole family is very happy today and that you will stay in the mansion tonight. The Crown Princess also said... and said..."
"What else did mother say?" Qi Lan retracted the smile on his face that he had just watched Xie Yihua leave, and asked lightly about the man who had grown up and was one of the closest people to him.
"The Crown Princess also said... As an elder brother, you are going to meet the Third Young Master and the Third Young Madam tomorrow. The Crown Princess said... I hope you... it would be best if you could take out the picture of the Three Friends of Suihan given to you by the Princess the year before last... …Don’t let people underestimate your weight…
Said...if you are willing to give it away...the Crown Princess can also forget about the last incident...with you..."
Hearing this, Qi Lan's eyes flashed with a dark and unclear look for the first time, and then he said with a smile:
"Since mother has said so, as the elder brother of the third brother, it is natural that I cannot refuse. Go and send the "Flower Blooming and Ditu" in my yard.
Then he sent the "Picture of Three Friends of Suihan" to his adoptive mother and said, "It's a little bit of my heart. Today... thank you very much, my adoptive mother." "
Zuo Zuo was already ready for Qi Lan to compromise unconditionally with Crown Princess Shouguang and Third Young Master Qi Lin, but at this moment, when Zuo Zuo heard Qi Lan's decision, he immediately raised his head ecstatically, even knowing the reason. I don’t want to go into details, so I just said:
"Yes! Don't worry, Second Young Master, I will definitely handle this matter properly. Then...should we go back to the princess's house tonight...hehehehe..."
"That's natural. My aunt came alone today. If I don't accompany my aunt back home, the road at night will be dangerous. How can I relax?" Qi Lan nodded and said.
"Yes, yes, second young master, you are right, the princess is the one who really cares about you, young master!
I see, when the young master comes back and you want to get married like the third young master, it is better to ask the princess to make the decision. Who knows that the princess will come back..."
"Silence." When Qi Lan heard this, he frowned. Although he knew in his heart that if his mother was really asked to arrange the marriage, it might not be a good person, but after all, in public, Qi Lan still He stopped the left and right words immediately and looked worried.
The two people immediately realized that they had said the wrong thing, and immediately fell silent. Looking at their young master's face, they couldn't help but feel a little frightened, so they quickly changed the subject and said:
"Actually, let me tell you, Master, you are the best among men. You can match any girl, but the most important thing is to find a girl who knows both cold and hot, and is happy with each other. I want Master If you like the girl first, you also need the girl to like you first.
I look at it, and Miss Xie Yihua, who has played with you all day today, is very happy..."
"Shut up." Poor Zuo Zuo spoke again, but before he could finish his words, he was sternly stopped by Qi Lan.
"Sister Yihua is still young. What are you talking about? The reputation of the girl's family is particularly important. You are too unreasonable. It is forbidden to say these words again. In order to make your memory long, these three months' salary , it will be fined and confiscated."
After saying that, Qi Lan didn't even give her left and right a chance to plead for mercy, and went straight back to the house to find her aunt, the princess...
Tu left standing there crying without tears, but he really felt that Miss Xie Yihua was really interested in his young master... and she was a good person, and the two of them were a perfect match...
Sigh... I didn't expect that telling the truth these days would turn out to be a mistake... Sigh... I don't know, if Miss Yihua later knew that she said she was a match for her young master, would she reward her with a wave of her hand? His salary is three months... that's three months... three months... Could it be that, in these three months, he is required to drink the northwest wind...
At this moment, Zuo Zuo, who had been silently chanting the matching Xie Yihua in his heart, fell asleep in Gu Ruosu's arms exhausted from a day of talking and playing.
"This little girl, I don't know what she was playing with, but she is so tired. It's very rare.
I have also seen that this girl was so tired that she fell asleep on the carriage after arriving late. "
While Gu Ruosu was complaining about Xie Yihua as a "crazy girl", she was very considerate and used a fan to dispel the heat for Xie Yiyi and Xie Yihua who were sleeping on both sides of her knees.
"Miss Yi, after finishing drinking with the lady from the Minister of Industry's Ministry of Industry, she went to the courtyard to play hut with the guests all afternoon. She lost a lot and won a lot. Her emotions were ups and downs. Naturally, she was tired. Very good.
As for... As for Miss Yihua, I heard from the servants who went to look for her later that Miss Yihua was playing in the backyard with our Qi Qiye for a long time, and she was very interested. In addition, the garden of Prince Shouguang's Mansion The yard is big, and if you walk a lot, you will naturally get tired. "
Bilan stood outside the curtain of the carriage, following Gu Ruosu's carriage unhurriedly, and replied carefully.
"Yihua, this girl, is young. It's okay to play with Qi Lan. He is an upright gentleman and nothing will happen to him. You don't have to be so cautious. When talking about his identity, he even used our family's seven Let me tell you." Gu Ruosu naturally saw the cautiousness in Bi Lan's words, and then said aloud.
"Yes, madam, you are sensible. Miss Yihua and Mr. Qi Lan are both good girls and good men who know the importance of things. Naturally, they cannot do anything like what happened before..." Bilan obviously thought of the Hai family before. Regarding the cousin’s matter, he said.
"The things that happened before are actually big or small. At the age when love begins, anything is possible.
In my opinion, whether it is the Hai family, the Qi family, or any other family, even if it is a common people, the origin is not the most important. What is important is that the two young people are happy with each other.
So, Bilan, you don’t have to worry about me. Even if there is something wrong between Qi Lan and our family Yihua, I won’t be angry. "
"But, Madam, you won't have to worry about Mr. Qi Lan's situation in Prince Shouguang's residence and our Miss Yihua's identity and royal family..." When Bilan said this, she immediately stopped, saying nothing. middle.
"What's the matter? This Qi Lan is not a second-generation ancestor, but he is a good boy who is willing to work hard on his own. The Xie family is not afraid of such relatives and sons-in-law coming together.
Also, our family Yihua's background is humble. Although her father is not as senior as the head of the Shouguang Prince's house, he still has real power. He has stepped up step by step and occupied the heel. There is nothing inappropriate about it. "
"What Madam said makes sense, but this servant has little knowledge. Madam really loves Miss Yihua." Bilan said immediately.
"Yihua means to think about these girls. As long as they are the children of our Xie family, I love them all. They are all good children here. In the future, if I can help these girls, I will definitely do them." I have to do my best, especially...especially in their marriage...
They can't just let their children do whatever they want, nor can they just follow their parents' wishes and match up with those high-ranking dignitaries, regardless of what their own girls think. "Gu Ruosu said very seriously.
"Yes, yes, we have madam and uncle in charge of our family. It is impossible for one daughter to marry two people like the Yu family." Bilan nodded thoughtfully, approached Gu Ruosu and whispered softly said.
"Although the Yu family's actions are excusable, and those who understand current affairs are heroes, but in my selfish heart, I don't agree that such a thing cannot be done.
Not to mention whether the girl from the Yu family had already agreed to Qi Lan's proposal, but then went back on her promise and married Qi Lin, whether it was against morality.
Just say that the parents of the Yu family, even though their daughter had already made a marriage contract with the second son of Prince Shouguang, turned around and agreed to change the engagement person to the third son of Prince Shouguang for the sake of profit...
How shameless this is. In life and in a family, loyalty is what matters. Their family has gone back on their word. Even if they are on a high branch, how many people can really think highly of them..."
"Madam, what you are saying is that if the engagement was not agreed upon, it would not be a big deal. However, this matter has been made public for a long time. Many people have seen it, so it is only necessary to exchange sex papers openly. Yes, it’s already been an agreement, and the temporary change... is really..."
"Obviously the Yu family did not expect this. After all, the immediate benefits are greater than any pressure from public opinion, but this has nothing to do with us. It's just a pity that the child Qi Lan has been implicated for nothing... …”
"It's true that Mr. Qi Lan is a rare good husband and son-in-law. I don't know which girl will be so lucky in the future. If the girl in our family can find a husband like Mr. Qi Lan in the future, I think you will be too, madam. I can feel at ease now." Bilan said jokingly.
"It doesn't matter. The main thing is to consider the girl's family. The girl's family should wear clothes and sleep, marry a man and eat. In this era, this is almost the most important thing.
How difficult it is for girls to get out. If they can get out in the future, or find someone they love, I will support them even to the death, no matter who they marry is Qi Lan or Wang Lan. Their joy is the most important thing. "Gu Ruosu said sincerely.
"My lady's words remind me of the time when you, my lady, insisted on marrying my uncle and confronted the madam. Madam, you also said the same thing at that time.
No matter how rich and powerful other people's sons are, you will always look down on them. If you don't like him, you won't be willing to marry him even if the King of Heaven comes. "
Gu Ruosu coughed sheepishly and said:
"I was too young back then, and I always did things regardless of the consequences. My mother was actually doing it for my own good, but I didn't even know it. Fortunately, the decision I made did not make me regret it...
I hope... in the future, the girls in our family... can also make decisions that they will not regret... If they regret it... how painful it must be..." Gu Ruosu suddenly felt something and said as if she had thought of it.
Gu Ruosu's sudden sad look made Bilan panic, but she thought for a moment that her wife might be missing her sister who married into the Murong family but died young. Bilan didn't know how to comfort her. My wife heard Gu Ruosu take the initiative to say:
"When we get back to the house, let Yihua stay in my room to rest. When she wakes up, I would like to ask her what she means. If she is really interested in Qi Lan...
Let's buy time for a young person like her...
Just don’t let her mother bring her sister’s son over for the time being. Cousins and cousins are very close to each other... If you don’t want it, just don’t..." This was what Gu Ruosu suddenly remembered. After hearing the news about Bao Wei and thinking about his previous biological knowledge, he suddenly felt something.
"Yes... what Madam said makes sense. Our Fourth Young Madam is a good person with sincerity, but our Fourth Young Madam's biological eldest sister is very powerful and has a good reputation. Our Miss Yihua is dignified and generous, and has the purest filial piety. , Where is such a mother-in-law's opponent..." Bilan nodded and said.
Gu Ruosu didn't answer. She had no impression of Wei's sister in her memory. She didn't know what kind of person this person was. The decision she made today was based on her responsibility to the next generation and her own three concerns. Just observe what is done.
Gu Ruosu would definitely not know that it was because of her own decision that she saved Xie Yihua's originally depressed life and Xie Yiyi's life that was destined to be tragic in the second half of his life...
