As the carriage drove out of the alley, Wei Yang was talking to Konggu Youlan about how delicious the roasted whole lamb was.
At this moment the carriage squeaked and stopped.
Yan Gui dismounted, Ding Wu lifted the curtain, and Konggu and Youlan saw this and hurriedly lifted their skirts and walked out.
"Do you want to go for a walk in the city?" Yan Gui asked as he sat down opposite Wei Yang.
Wei Yang looked at Yan Gui in surprise. It was the second day of the Chinese New Year, and all the shops in the city were closed. The two of them went out for a walk. To see the snow scenery? You couldn't go to see the snow scenery in the city. The snow in the city was not a scenery. It was trampled by people and the sewage flowed everywhere.
Seeing Wei Yang's strange look, Yan Gui realized that what he said was inappropriate and said hurriedly: "Then, let's go out of the city and take a walk. Maybe we can see plum blossoms."
Outside Yancheng is a wasteland covered with weeds and snow. Because of the years of war, there is no plum blossom, not even a single wild flower.
"Let's go home. It's too cold in the snow." Wei Yang took the initiative to sit next to Yan Gui and leaned her head gently on Yan Gui's arm.
Yan Gui felt even more uneasy when he saw Wei Yang's gentle attitude. He cleared his throat and wanted to ask something, but didn't know how to start.
"Brother Yan Gui, if we get married, will you take a concubine?" Wei Yang asked leisurely.
The voice was soft and gentle, but it made Yan Gui break out in a cold sweat.
He actually forgot that there were two concubines and one room of concubines in Yanfeng Mansion. Wei Yang must meet him today, and she will use what happened last night as an excuse to deal with him.
"No." Yan Gui answered affirmatively: "The Yan family does not have this tradition."
At this moment, Yan Gui was especially grateful to his father and grandfather, as they had set the best example for him by staying with his first wife until his death.
"Okay, got it." Wei Yang lowered her head, with no emotion visible between her eyebrows.
"What happened last night was an accident, but it won't happen again. You, don't mind it, she didn't even touch me." Yan Gui explained a little embarrassedly.
Wei Yang rubbed her cheek against Yan Gui's arm gently: "I know, you had someone throw her out. I don't mind, she's just a girl who doesn't know her place. Is she as pretty as me?"
Yan Gui laughed out loud at what Wei Yang said, and looked over to the side, his eyes fell on Wei Yang's ears. She was the only girl he had ever seen without earrings. His hands moved involuntarily, wanting to pinch them, but he was a little hesitant.
"Before, my eldest sister said that as long as I wanted to do something, she would support me and told me not to be afraid. But now, my eldest sister can't even protect herself." Wei Yang paused: "Yan Gui, I'm afraid. I have never known anything since I was a child. I don't know anything. Will you despise me? I'm afraid that day will come, and I won't even have a dowry."
Two lines of clear tears slid down Weiyang's cheeks and fell onto the hem of her skirt, wetting it all.
"Are you stupid?" Yan Gui sighed and pulled her into his arms. Seeing her biting her lips and trying hard not to cry out, he felt a great pain in his heart.
For a girl like her, she would have started preparing her dowry from the moment she was born. Before Wei Yang reached the age of 15, her dowry had already filled up three large warehouses. This was something that Wei Yang's sixth brother Su Changle accidentally let slip.
The scene of playing with the Su brothers is still vivid in my mind, but now I don’t know where their souls have gone.
"Brother Yan Gui, can we go to the greenhouse to play chess?" Wei Yang probably thought that crying during the New Year was not a good thing, so she wiped her tears, raised her face and asked with a smile.
"Okay, what shall we compete in?" Yan Gui said with a smile.
"No matter what you compete in, you can't beat me." Wei Yang chuckled. Their chess skills were comparable.
Hearing her laughter, Yan Gui heaved a sigh of relief. The Yan residence was about to arrive.
