Chapter 53
"What's the matter?" Ye Ran gently embraced the girl in his arms, and frowned slightly towards the person who stopped at the outer door.
Wen Zijin didn't dare to speak out, her cheeks were reddish looking at Sister Ye who was close at hand, her heart was beating fast.
This feels like doing something bad!
Father Wen outside frowned slightly, and the old servant at the side said again: "This time, the master came to discuss the marriage between Miss Ye and the young master."
Ye Ran pulled the girl away from her arms, and raised her finger to point to the screen. The girl came back to her senses in a daze, and even though she didn't understand, she obediently got up and hid behind the screen.
"Please come in."
Ye Ran looked at the girl's puzzled eyes, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.
Father Wen's eyes stopped the old servant who wanted to accompany him, and the old servant stopped knowingly, not daring to accompany him inside.
The faint incense in the inner room lingered in it, and Father Wen lifted the bead curtain to see the beautiful woman in a black dress sitting at the low table with her lapels straight.
I have been an official in the capital for many years, and I have seen many people with good looks, but such a stunning woman, even Father Wen was a little stunned.
Ye Ran gently smoothed the folds of her skirt with her fingertips, and she hadn't heard Father Wen speak for a long time, so she said, "Master Wen?"
Father Wen hurriedly restrained his expression, sat upright in a relaxed manner, looked at the woman with his eyes and smiled, "I don't know where Miss Ye is from?"
"It's just a remote town. Because I left home and wandered around earlier, I have long forgotten it."
"That's how it is." Father Wen had other thoughts in his mind, so he turned to speak: "It's just that the dog is still young, and the marriage with Miss Ye may need to be postponed for a while."
Ye Ran frowned slightly, looked towards Wen's father and said, "How long will it be delayed?"
Father Wen's eyes turned slightly and he smiled and said, "Next year's provincial exam, and then there will be another exam, and the palace exam may take two or three years."
"Young master's studies are the most important thing, of course you can." Although Ye Ran was a little reluctant, but seeing that the little face protruding from the screen was full of sorrow, his brows relaxed again.
After staying for these years, it is not impossible to wait another two or three years.
The conversation didn't take long, but because of Mother Wen's sudden visit, the old guard outside hurriedly said, "Ma'am, why are you here?"
"Didn't I come at the right time?" Mother Wen raised her eyebrows and asked the accompanying attendants to hold down the old servant, and then entered with a group of attendants.
The old servant cried out for help in a panic: "Master!"
Father Wen frowned slightly and looked at Mother Wen who was sitting aside, angrily put down the teacup in his hand, "You have such a big posture."
"It can't be compared to Master." Mother Wen took a sip of her tea, and then she saw a corner of the robe exposed by the screen, "The mansion has been thieves, so of course they must be severely punished."
It was probably because Father Wen was a little guilty about the gem, so he didn't overdo it.
Mother Wen casually moved away from the screen from the corner of her eye, not caring about Father Wen's emotions at all, and said, "It just so happens that we are all together today, it's better to settle Zijin's marriage earlier."
Ye Ran saw that Wen's mother and Wen's father seemed to have completely different ideas, looked at Wen's father with an extremely ugly face, and wondered whether Wen's father had other ideas?
"You don't have to worry about the marriage, I've decided to wait until Zijin gets the honor in the exam."
Father Wen frowned.
Wen's mother turned her head and said: "Now Zijin is fourteen, if he really waits until he gets the honor, he will be sixteen."
For Wen's father's sudden change, Wen's mother became suspicious, and looked towards Ye Ran's side, and suddenly became a little clearer.
"Besides, Miss Ye and Zijin are quite different in age. If the girl's family delays for another two years, wouldn't the master want to tear up this marriage purely?"
"You!" Father Wen reached out and patted the low table, feeling a little annoyed, "As Zijin's father, can it be that I can't even control the marriage?"
Mother Wen said with a smile on her face: "I have sent out the wedding stickers. This year's New Year's Eve happens to be a good day. Since the master is concerned about Zijin's studies, it is better to get the marriage done before the next autumn township exam."
"I don't agree." Father Wen got up angrily, looking at Ye Ran who had been sitting silently, and could not help showing a bit of greed.
Originally, he didn't have a good impression of Father Wen, but Ye Ran felt disgusted by this blatant look.
Ye Ran lightly cast a spell with his fingertips, only to see that Father Wen's complexion suddenly turned pale, and his whole figure fell backwards, as if extremely terrified.
A group of servants rushed forward to support Father Wen, but Father Wen just looked at Ye Ran in shock, his mouth was open but he couldn't say anything.
Father Wen looked around in a panic, but found that no one else seemed surprised, as if he was the only one who saw that girl Ye turned into a giant python with her bloody mouth wide open.
Father Wen, who was cold all over, didn't dare to look at Miss Ye again, he just felt that this inner room was much colder and damper than other places.
It's clearly just autumn, it shouldn't be this cold.
"The master is probably tired, so send him back to rest." Mother Wen was not nervous at all, just out of sight and out of mind.
The waiters helped Wen's father to leave the inner room, Ye Ran held the teacup and slowly sipped a small sip of tea.
Mother Wen saw that Miss Ye was still not the one hiding behind the screen, so she could only make a sound: "Zijin, don't you even see your mother?"
The figure behind the screen paused slightly, and then slowly came out.
"Mother is well." Wen Zijin blushed, feeling like she had done something bad.
"You, you have been sticking to Miss Ye all day long."
Ye Ran saw that the back of the girl's ears was turning red, so she changed the topic aloud and said, "Then the marriage is really scheduled for this year's New Year's Eve?"
Wen Zijin sat aside, looking at her mother curiously.
"It wasn't in a hurry at first, but today's matter, I'm afraid it must be done quickly if it doesn't work out."
"Didn't mother already post a wedding post?"
"Silly boy, your father clearly disapproves of this marriage. If you don't cut it first, then maybe it won't be Miss Ye who will marry you, but a girl from another family." What Wen's mother said earlier was actually just out of desperation. if.
Until now, Wen Zijin was still a little embarrassed when his mother mentioned the marriage so bluntly.
Seeing the girl's burning face, Ye Ran couldn't help feeling a little worried, but she couldn't make a sound because she was afraid that Wen's mother was here.
Mother Wen saw that her child was very shy, but Miss Ye's face was calm as usual, which seemed a little strange no matter how she looked.
It's just that the marriage is imminent, and now we can only make arrangements as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if you really have ambiguity with the noble family in the capital, it will be dangerous if you lose your identity at that time.
"Okay, you go back to your garden to study, and talk to Miss Ye about something for your mother."
Wen Zijin nodded blankly, looked at Sister Ye reluctantly, and then left the garden.
But after a while, he couldn't help wondering, is there something that my mother can't say in front of her face?
The servants in the inner room retreated to the outer door, Mother Wen put down the teacup and said, "Although I don't know why Miss Ye agreed to marry Zijin, I think Miss Ye also watched Zijin grow up, so she should won't hurt her."
"Cliques and cliques are prevalent in Chaotang's noble family. As a mother, I have always paid close attention to Zijin's marriage. I won't say much about it. Zijin is obedient and obedient, and will never harm people's hearts. It's a good thing, but it's also a bad thing, I just hope that Miss Ye will treat Zijin well, and I will never interfere with Miss Ye."
Ye Ran nodded, "Of course, I won't put her in danger."
Mother Wen sighed and said: "It's good to have this sentence, I'll send someone to post the wedding post as soon as possible, and it will be New Year's Eve in a few months."
The crisp autumn season is a good time to study quietly, but Wen Zijin is inexplicably nervous because her marriage is approaching.
During the day, after Wen Zijin finished practicing calligraphy, the smile on the corner of her mouth never stopped.
Because the rice paper was used up, Wen Zijin couldn't calm down to read, so he followed the servants out of the house and bought some rice paper along the way.
But he never expected that the bustling study in the past would be so deserted, Wen Zijin asked in puzzlement, "Is this study going to be closed?"
The servant responded in a low voice: "Since the haunting incident last time, this study has become quite deserted. In the past, there were still people who bought books, but now most of them have moved to other places."
There is an open space in the open-air courtyard in the study, and the female scholar is drying pulp, obviously making rice paper.
Compared with the rice paper bought elsewhere, the rice paper in this study is particularly light, and the ink smudges are also excellent.
In autumn, there is only enough sunlight at noon, and the servants showed fear. Seeing this, Wen Zijin went in alone.
I saw that there were not many books on the few remaining bookshelves, and the narrow aisle was much wider. The female ghost in a light green dress was holding an umbrella and wandering in the house.
"Stingy ghost, why do you dare to come here?" The female ghost floated in this direction.
Although I have seen it several times, Wen Zijin is still very sensitive to the evil and cold aura of ghosts and evils.
Wen Zijin looked at the female scholar exposed to the sun and said, "I'm here to buy rice paper."
The female ghost said with bright eyes, "Your family must be rich, right?"
The meaning of this look is too obvious, right?
"I only brought some." Wen Zijin took out the purse and handed it over, "Do you think it's enough?"
The expenses of this study should be a lot of money.
The female ghost weighed the purse, looked at the servant waiting outside, and muttered with disappointment: "You are a son after all."
In fact, Wen Zijin had nothing to spend money on weekdays.
The female scholar over there patiently checked whether the pulp was dried properly, and her side face was a little flushed from the sun.
"Why do you hold an umbrella inside the house?" Wen Zijin planned to pick out some poetry books, which was considered a help.
The female ghost frowned sadly and said: "I wanted to hold an umbrella for her, but I was rejected."
Wen Zijin flipped through the poem book and nodded, "Ghost, it seems like she can't see the light of day. She's worried about you."
"Damn it, why can that guy do it!"
That rascal?
Seeing the woman in red not far away appeared in front of her eyes, Wen Zijin stared blankly, thinking that this is Miss Hongshuang, sister Ye's third sister?
The female ghost held an umbrella and said sadly: "Since this guy came, I always feel that I am the redundant one."
Wen Zijin turned his head in confusion and asked, "Has Miss Hongshuang stayed with you all this time?"
"Yeah, I came here before dawn, and I had to eat before leaving at night. Really, I'm going to be pissed off!"
amount……
You, aren't you already dead?
Even though this was said, Wen Zijin felt it was better not to say it.
