Ye Yonglan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but was immediately called away by her mother's maid.
"Mom, are you looking for me?" As soon as Ye Yonglan saw Mrs. Ye, she immediately walked forward happily and took her arm, asking.
Ye Yonglan was originally an orphan girl in later generations. She had never experienced the love and pampering of her parents. Unexpectedly, once she traveled through time and space, she directly became the daughter of a top-level dignitary. Not only did she have a noble status, but she also received endless love from her parents and brothers. , made her regard everyone in the Ye family as relatives in a short period of time.
When Mrs. Ye saw her frivolous and unstable look, she immediately frowned, pulled her hand away, and said with a cold face: "Speak properly, don't always stand like this, use the etiquette I taught you before. Where are the rules?”
"Oh, mother, those etiquette and rules are only for outsiders to see. You are my mother, do I still have to act in front of you?" Ye Yonglan said with a smile, not afraid of Mrs. Ye's cold face at all.
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Ye's expression softened as expected. She nodded her forehead and said, "You know that you have to obey the rules and etiquette in front of outsiders, so why did you forget to catch thieves on the street during the day?" What about this? You, the dignified eldest lady of the Prime Minister’s Palace, actually do such inappropriate behavior in public, don’t you know that it will arouse people’s criticism? "
"Mom, I'm just catching thieves, what's wrong with that? Do you have to stand on the street crying and say 'I lost my money'?" Ye Yonglan said nonchalantly. She was still the consciousness of future generations and did not feel that a noble girl was there at all. What's wrong with catching a thief in full public view?
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if the money is stolen, won't you let others catch it? Why don't you chase it yourself? This is not at all in line with the requirements of a noble lady's elegance and chastity. You are still negotiating the marriage. You are old, and now that something like this has happened, what should you do if others dislike you? Rich families have a lot to ask for when choosing a wife..." Mrs. Ye sighed and said.
Ye Yonglan was not worried at all. She pouted and said, "Mom, don't worry so much. As long as my grandfather is still the prime minister, then I don't have to worry about my marriage at all. Why don't you just let me choose?"
Mrs. Ye shook her head and said: "How can it be as good as you think? Although your grandfather is here and your marriage is indeed very popular, the moral character of coming to propose a relative is very different. If you don't behave If it's better, then the candidates to propose marriage will be poor, after all, your grandfather is not just your granddaughter."
Mrs. Ye reminded Ye Yonglan earnestly. Ye Yonglan listened, but still didn't think anything of it. After all, she was a time-travelling girl. Which time-traveling girl doesn't have the aura of a heroine? It's a trivial matter to charm a prince, young master, or general. Didn't she meet Lord Zhai today?
Ye Yonglan thought of Zhai Wanting's handsome face, and her face suddenly became hot, and she couldn't help but show some shyness like a daughter.
When Mrs. Ye saw her, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. As a person who had been there, she saw her daughter like this. How could she not know what was going on? There must be someone in my heart!
She was very anxious, worried that the person her daughter was attracted to was not good, but she couldn't ask directly, so she had to pretend to ask her casually: "Lan'er, apart from catching thieves, did you encounter anything interesting on the street today?" Someone or something?”
Ye Yonglan didn't know her mother's worries and clichés. When she heard her question, she immediately replied enthusiastically: "Mom, I really met a very... nice person, Mr. Zhai. I heard that he is the Young Minister of Dali Temple. , very young and promising, handsome and stylish..."
Madam Ye suddenly became more worried when she saw her beaming expression when she spoke: "Master Zhai? Is it Zhai Wanting? But his family has withered away, leaving only him and a niece. I heard that he was also injured. It is inconvenient to get married..."
"Oh, mother, I have no father and no mother. Isn't this good? After you get married, you don't have to serve your parents-in-law and you can directly take charge of the family. As for the niece, she will also get married in the future. It won't matter at all." Ye Yonglan retorted directly, and future generations When you get married, you still want your parents to be dead and have a car and a house. Zhai Wanting's family is still an advantage if there are only a few people in it. Of course, this does not mean that Ye Yonglan is attracted to Zhai Wanting and wants to marry him. She just treats him as a spare tire. If there is a better one in the future, she will not consider him. If there is no better one, then he will naturally be the one. She was the best candidate, so she gave Mrs. Ye a vaccination in advance.
However, she had never thought about whether Zhai Wanting wanted to marry her or be her backup. She was too self-righteous.
"Lan'er, what do you mean? Are you really attracted to Mr. Zhai?" Mrs. Ye was shocked, thinking that her daughter really wanted to marry Zhai Wanting.
"Mom, don't make a fuss. I'm just talking. After all, I want my marriage to be perfect. Lord Zhai is only a fourth-grade official after all, and he is nothing in this capital where there are many powerful people." Ye Yonglan said confidently.
Mrs. Ye didn't know what to say when she saw her like this. Should she be glad that her daughter was not a love brain? But - "Daughter, Mr. Zhai has already become the Young Minister of Dali Temple on his own in his twenties. He is very powerful. It is much better than those who rely on the talents of their family ancestors to become officials."
Seeing that her daughter still looked unconcerned, Mrs. Ye suddenly became excited and asked her: "Lan'er, you think the fourth-grade official is not high enough, so what kind of person do you want to marry? After all, there are still many people in the capital. There are almost no fourth-grade officials who are not married, do you want to marry the prince?!"
Mrs. Ye's face suddenly changed. She looked at her daughter in surprise: "Your grandfather doesn't want our daughter to marry the prince. Our family is already in a raging fire. If you get involved in the prince's struggle again, you will be in trouble." If you are not careful, you will really be in catastrophe, so don’t let your mind wander..."
After Ye Yonglan heard this, she suddenly felt a little upset and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? I didn't think about anything." However, she felt in her heart that her mother and grandfather were too timid and cautious. With her aura as the protagonist, if she Whichever prince is chosen will be the next emperor, right? She is full of self-confidence and has no idea about the dangers of political power struggles in reality. She just wants to have the romance and love between men and women.
Mrs. Ye was worried and said, "Lan'er, don't go out recently. You can wait until my mother has chosen a husband for you before you go out."
"No! Mother, you really don't need to be so worried. If you choose someone I don't like, wouldn't it ruin my life?" Ye Yonglan doesn't want to marry blindly like women in this era, thinking of not long ago He immediately added, "Aren't you afraid of finding me a son-in-law like the second young master of the Zou family who had an affair with my sister-in-law?"
Mrs. Ye was immediately silenced by her.
