The embroidery shop was not far from the small courtyard where Ye Yuqing's family rented. Even if the two of them slowed down, they would reach the place very quickly.
Ye Yuqing is not going to invite Han Chengyu to his home today.
First, the house is not tidy. It doesn’t matter if you are poor, but at least you have to keep it clean and tidy.
The second reason is that she doesn't want Yulang to think that she is not reserved and rushes to invite people to her home when they meet for the first time.
Ye Yuqing bowed to him and said, "Mr. Han, thank you very much for today. I should have invited you to my house for a cup of tea.
But the elders in the family are not here, and they are afraid that they will not be taken care of well. I will ask my elder brother to post for you another day, and I hope you can take the time to come over for a casual meal. "
Han Yucheng smiled and cupped his hands, "It's just a little effort. Miss Ye is so polite."
He had a good impression of Ye Yuqing, and hoped that the two of them would have the opportunity to meet each other in the future, and said with a smile:
"I just heard from the girl that your third uncle and eldest brother are also studying in the academy. I also want to get to know them so that we can talk about poetry and painting together in the future."
Ye Yuqing felt very happy after hearing what he said.
If Yu Lang can become good friends or classmates with her eldest brother, then her chances of marrying Yu Lang as his wife will be greater.
She said with a smile: "Since Mr. Han doesn't dislike our small family, when my eldest brother comes back, I will ask him to post for you."
Han Chengyu disagreed with her saying that she was a small family, "Miss Ye, please don't belittle yourself. I admire your family very much, so how can I dislike you?"
Seeing Ye Yuqing's white and rosy face, he felt a little restless and felt that he couldn't stay any longer, otherwise it would be bad if he lost his composure later.
He bowed his hands and said goodbye, "Miss Ye, I'm going back first. If your brother has time, please leave me a message at any time. I'm usually at home except when I go to the academy."
"Okay, Mr. Han, please go slowly."
Ye Yuqing looked at him shyly, with reluctance and admiration in her eyes.
In fact, Han Yucheng didn't want to leave either.
Although the two had only known each other for less than an hour, he always felt as if he had known Miss Ye for a long time.
But he had to leave, lest Miss Ye think he was frivolous.
Before leaving, he warned in an uneasy tone: "Miss Ye, the place where you live is a mixed bag of people, including people from all walks of life.
In the future, you should try not to go out alone. If you encounter someone with malicious intentions, it will be very dangerous. "
Ye Yuqing nodded obediently, "I understand."
Han Chengyu looked at her deeply before taking the boy away.
Ye Yuqing waited for him to go away before turning around and entering the yard.
She didn't lie to Han Chengyu just now. Her parents and grandfather were indeed not at home, having gone out to do odd jobs. Her third uncle and her eldest brother went to the academy to attend classes.
There are only grandma and younger brother Ye Mingwei at home, so it is really not convenient to entertain Han Chengyu.
Ye Mingwei heard the sound of the door opening and ran out of the main room. When he saw her coming back, he asked excitedly: "Sister, did you bring me something delicious?" He turned over the basket in her hand.
When Ye Yuqing saw this troublemaking brother, she felt very angry.
In the previous life, if he hadn't made trouble all day long and made Yulang tired, how could Yulang be angry with her and ignore her?
She patted Ye Mingwei's hand hard and said, "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. For such a big person, if you don't do anything all day long, you have a delicious mouth."
Ye Mingwei saw that there was nothing in the basket and he was hit. He became angry and pushed her hard.
Ye Yuqing was unprepared and sat down on the ground, her pink skirt also stained.
She threw the basket aside angrily, since there were no outsiders here anyway. She didn't want to maintain her ladylike image anymore, so she stood up and started wrestling with Ye Mingwei.
Ms. Ye Zhang stood at the door with a sullen face. She was really not ashamed to see that Qing girl was so big and she was still fighting with her younger brother.
Then I thought of this damn girl, who hadn't done any good embroidery in the past two days, and I felt very angry.
She walked to the yard with her hands on her hips and yelled: "Stop it, you two, and see what it looks like?
The elder sister is not like the elder sister, and the younger brother is not like the younger brother. If outsiders see it, they will laugh out loud. "
Ye Yuqing got off Ye Mingwei, called her grandma, and went back to her room.
Ye Mingwei yelled from behind, but she ignored him.
Looking at the dirty skirt on my body, I felt a little distressed, so I quickly took it off, changed into home clothes, and took the skirt to the yard to wash.
In the evening, those who were studying and those who were working came back.
Ye Yuqing calmly told everyone about Han Yucheng's rescue of her.
"Third uncle, eldest brother, that Young Master Han is the second young master of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. He finally saved me.
Please leave a post for him and invite him to your home for a simple meal. Although our family is a small one, we can't make people think that we are rude. "
The whole family was shocked by what she said about Pingyuan Hou Mansion.
Ye Daqing was the first to react and asked in surprise: "Yu Qing, are you mistaken? The young master who saved you is really the young master of Pingyuan Hou Mansion?"
Ye Yuqing looked at her third uncle's real face and sneered in her heart, but it didn't show on her face.
If she wants to marry Yulang as her official wife, she will have to rely on her third uncle and her eldest brother's status as scholars. She can't break up with him now.
She smiled and nodded, "Third uncle, he said his name was Han Chengyu, and I originally wanted to invite him to sit at home, but neither of you were at home.
I was afraid that others would gossip, so I invited him to my house for a casual meal another day.
He knew that you and your eldest brother were also studying in the capital, and he said that he wanted to make friends with you two and talk about poetry and painting with you when he had time. "
Ye Daqing and Ye Mingxiang looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
They had been in the capital for several months, and spent a lot of money to get into an unknown academy.
It's such a shabby academy, and the students inside still look down upon their status. The uncle and nephew were often ostracized there.
They never expected that they would be related to Pingyuan Houfu. Moreover, the second young master of the Hou Mansion actually took the initiative to befriend them.
If the people in the academy knew about this, they would probably rush to curry favor with them.
The two of them didn't care about eating anymore. They left their bowls and chopsticks behind and prepared to write invitations.
Ye Yuqing immediately stopped them, "Third uncle, brother, don't be anxious about this.
Since we are going to invite distinguished guests to our homes for dinner, we must tidy up the house and prepare pastries and dishes so as not to lose etiquette. "
"Yes, yes, girl Qing is right."
Old man Ye changed his usual seriousness, looked at Ye Yuqing lovingly, and then happily ordered Mrs. Ye Zhang.
"Old lady, tomorrow you and your strong wife will tidy up the house.
Dazhuang and I stopped working and went to buy some tables, chairs and benches so that the distinguished guests would not think we were rude. "
Mrs. Ye Zhang nodded repeatedly and looked at Ye Yuqing with a smile on her face, "Girl Qing, since Mr. Han saved you, we must entertain them well and we will not let you lose face."
Ye Yuqing said with a smile: "Thank you, grandparents."
