38 King Cheng as matchmaker
After sending Liao Qiyun away, Ye Guqing went back to the inner room and found that Hong Xiyue had fallen asleep.Seeing that his hands and shoulders were still exposed, Ye Guqing wanted to go in and help him cover them up, but thinking that Hong Xiyue was very alert, she was afraid that he would wake up if she made a slight movement.Fortunately, the weather was not cold, so Ye Guqing simply let him sleep like this.
Injured people should avoid eating, and there are certain foods sent by the prefect's mansion that Hong Xiyue cannot eat.Ye Guqing, who had nothing to do, hesitated for a moment, then planned to go outside to get some food and come back.However, before he could go out the door, he ran into Gao Jingyu who was coming towards him.
"Master Ye is going out?" Gao Jingyu sized Ye Guqing up.
"Hongxi is getting more and more uncomfortable. I'll go out and buy him something. Is Master Gao here?" Ye Guqing asked with a smile.
Hearing Ye Guqing's words, Gao Jingyu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Oh, my lord has an invitation, if Mr. Ye is not in a hurry to go out, you should go there first."
Qu Chengyin's invitation was delayed even if Ye Guqing had important matters at the moment, so Ye Guqing immediately agreed and followed Gao Jingyu to Qu Chengyin's yard.
At this moment, Qu Chengyin was sitting under the grape arbor in the courtyard in white unlined clothes to enjoy the cool. He saw a piece of paper in his hand, his dark eyes were bottomless, and the sun shone through the dense grape arbor. The light shines on Qu Chengyin's fair face, adding a bit of softness to him.
In Qu Chengyin's hand is the information about Ye Guqing sent by Xuancheng, which records in detail what happened to Ye Guqing from childhood to adulthood.What made Qu Chengyin puzzled was that when Ye Guqing was eight years old, he took a little boy into the mansion, why the little boy hadn't been heard from since then.In addition, Ye Guqing's health has improved since half a year ago, why did Master Ye suddenly take Madam Ye away.
Master Ye loves his son like his life, Ye Guqing has been weak since childhood, and has never had any contact with the family business.Why did Mr. Ye trust Ye Guqing with all the business of the Ye family before leaving?After Ye Guqing took over the business, he started to sell shops and buy boats for activities on the Jingcheng River. This is not a small business. A rich young man with no business experience dared to do such a business from the very beginning?I don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, or is Ye Guqing really a genius from heaven?
Crushing the note in his hand into a ball, Qu Chengyin lay on the recliner and slowly closed his eyes.The breeze blew by, brushing up the hair, and the whole yard was plunged into silence...
There was a sound in his ear, Qu Chengyin lazily opened his eyelids, seeing that it was Qi Yang prefect Min Yifu, he closed his eyes again.
"Why did the lord summon the officials here?"
Listening to Min Yi's words, Qu Chengyin lay on the rocking chair without moving, closed his eyes and said, "Min Yi, Min Yan has already passed the marriageable age, right?"
Hearing this, Min Yi's heart moved, he nodded and said yes.
"Is there a betrothed family?"
"Not yet, but my younger sister said that she is not in a hurry. I also told her, but I can't say anything. And my younger sister is still shouldering Qi Yang's safety, so I can only leave it at this moment. Why did the prince think of asking this today?"
"Well, I just asked when I remembered it. I have someone in mind." After speaking, Qu Chengyin opened his eyes and turned to look at Min Yi beside him.
Hearing Qu Chengyin's words, Min Yi knew in his heart that this candidate was different from what he thought.However, marrying into the emperor's family is not a good thing.Moreover, Min Yan is cold-tempered and doesn't know how to intrigue, so it is certain that he will be left out in the cold.The candidate chosen by Prince Cheng should be good, so Min Yi was relieved.
"Oh? Dare I ask which son did the lord take a fancy to for my younger sister?"
"Young Master Ye Guqing Ye." Qu Cheng looked at the disappointment in Min Yi's eyes with his lips hooked, and continued: "I think this Young Master Ye is of high-class character and appearance. Although he is a merchant, he somewhat insults Min Yan's identity, but he is It’s just right for Mr. Ye to marry.”
As soon as Min Yi heard Qu Chengyin's words, he knew what he meant, but at this time they were on the same boat, even though Min Yi didn't want his sister to marry a merchant, but Qu Chengyin had already spoken, so he had to follow suit.So, Min Yi responded with a sullen face and stopped talking.
A while later, Ye Guqing followed Gao Jingyu to Qu Chengyin's yard.Seeing Qu Chengyin taking a nap on the recliner, Ye Guqing hurriedly lifted up the hem of his clothes to salute.Listening to Qu Chengyin asked him to stand up, and then slowly stood up.
"Is the lord looking for grassroots people?" Ye Guqing said straight to the point.
Seeing Ye Guqing coming, Qu Chengyin sat up with Min Yi's arm, and smiled at the well-behaved Ye Guqing in front of him.Turning to look at Gao Jingyu, he said, "Give Mr. Ye a seat."
Ye Guqing thanked Qu Chengyin, then lifted her clothes and sat down on the stool brought by Gao Jingyu.
After Qu Chengyin served tea, he waved Min Yi and Gao Jingyu away. Seeing this, Ye Guqing felt uneasy, but still looked at Qu Chengyin without changing his face.
"Actually, it's okay for me to ask you to come here. It's just that recuperating is a bit boring. I feel that Mr. Ye and this king are more speculative when talking, so I want Mr. Ye to chat with me."
"Your Highness is polite."
Ye Guqing knew that Qu Chengyin must have other ideas in his heart, what he and Qu Chengyin said yesterday was only ten sentences in total, how could there be speculation?
Ye Guqing waited calmly for Qu Chengyin's next words, but the other party seemed to be asleep and did not move any more.The so-called enemy does not move and I do not move, it is more patient than Ye Guqing thinks that he will not lose.
Sure enough, after a cup of tea, Qu Chengyin couldn't keep silent.With a dry cough, he cleared his throat and turned his gaze to Ye Guqing again.As if not aware of it, Ye Guqing stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup from the small table beside him and handed it to Qu Chengyin's hand.
"My lord, please have some tea."
Qu Chengyin took a sip from the teacup, then changed hands and put it on the small table, then lay down on the rocking chair and swayed a few times.
"How old is Ye Gongzi this year? Shouldn't he be married yet?"
Listening to Qu Chengyin's words, although Ye Guqing already understood what the other party wanted to do, but the other party would use this method, is it royal style?
"It's almost weak, my family has married me years ago, the one who sent the prince to the prefect's mansion with me."
Thinking of Hong Xiyue in the red wedding dress that day in the new house, Ye Guqing smiled at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of tenderness, Qu Chengyin couldn't help but take another look at that appearance.
"Oh, Mr. Ye actually married a male wife. I thought Mr. Ye had never married at such a young age, but I didn't expect it to be so early."
Seeing Ye Guqing's expression, Qu Chengyin knew that this matter might be possible, so he stopped thinking about it.After chatting with him for a while, he excused Ye Guqing to go back because he was tired.
After Min Yi left, after thinking about it, he felt uncomfortable.He called his subordinates to call his sister back, and went to his daughter's room with a long face.After talking with the recovering child for a while, Min Yan stepped into the door.
Seeing this, Min Yi ordered his servants to take good care of the child, and called Min Yan, who had not yet had time to change clothes, to the gazebo in the garden.
"Brother asked me to come back for something?" Min Yan took the teapot from the handmaid's hand, raised his hand and poured a cup for his brother.
Looking at his younger sister who has grown up, Min Yi's eyes are subconsciously gratified.
"Yan'er, you've also reached the age where you should talk about kissing. From now on, you can leave more of the patrolling to your subordinates. If you have nothing to do, you can learn from the nanny and learn from female celebrities. Don't make other people laugh at that time."
Min Yan obviously didn't expect Min Yiwei to mention this kind of thing to her. He looked at Min Yi in a daze for a while before he said, "Didn't my brother say before that I can do whatever I want? Why did you bring this up today?"
Hearing this, Min Yi chuckled: "You used to say that when you were a little brother, how can a girl's family live like this for a lifetime, and getting married and having children is the most important thing in the future."
Min Yan knew his elder brother's personality well, and when he saw the worry in his eyes and what he said just now, he knew that something must happen.
"Brother, what happened? Although I can't help you much as a girl, I can still help you find a way."
Seeing what Min Yan said, Min Yi hesitated and told her what Qu Chengyin wanted her to marry Ye Guqing.After hearing this, Min Yan's face immediately changed.Thinking of what Ye Guqing said to the crowd with Hong Xiyue in his arms in the forest in the morning, he was even more troubled.
Ye Guqing is a good man, Min Yan can tell from his words.It's not that Min Yan doesn't want to marry such a man, but the premise is that the other party is not married and loves a woman.Min Yan is not the kind of person who has prejudices against people, although he will not look down on businessmen, but what is going on when Ye Guqing, who is already married to a man, joins the Min family.
Besides, Ye Guqing and Hong Xiyue have a very deep relationship, if he just gets involved like this, wouldn't it be like breaking up a couple of lovers?Min Yan asked herself, she couldn't do such a thing.
"Brother, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang's plan for this matter is likely to fail."
Hearing Min Yan's words, Min Yi's eyes lit up and said, "Oh, how do you say that?"
"Young master Ye is married, and his wife is the red young master who is by his side."
After Min Yan finished speaking, the teacup in Min Yi's hands shook and fell onto the stone table.The warm tea spilled on his hands, making Min Yi's body stiff.
Seeing Min Yan's dazed look, Min Yan recounted everything that happened in the morning helplessly.Seeing Min Yi's complexion getting worse after listening, Min Yan didn't say anything anymore.However, my elder brother can still speak in front of His Royal Highness Cheng Wang. If I tell His Highness Cheng Wang the truth, I believe things will turn around.
Min Yan sat next to Min Yi and waited for him to slowly digest. After a while, Min Yi got up and walked out. Seeing this, Min Yan hurriedly asked where he was going, and Min Yi waved his hand to Min Yan without looking back. Dressed and ran away.
