Zhan Ning'er said to Ye Xiaotian: "The ancestors of the Xia family already know your identity."
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "What identity do I have?"
Zhan Ning'er stared at him and said, "Let's be happy here, don't you miss Shu anymore? Forgot your status as Gu Sect Venerable?"
Ye Xiaotian fell silent, Zhan Ning'er said: "The ancestor of the Xia family said that unless you can get the Gu religion to abolish the rule that the venerable cannot marry a wife and have children, otherwise, she will not marry her precious great-granddaughter to you."
Ye Xiaotian said embarrassingly: "The group of stubborn old people in the mountains, it is very difficult to ask them to change. I am afraid it will be even more difficult for them to cancel this rule. You have to know, on the surface, it is just whether the leader can marry a wife and have children. The question actually involves how to pass on the Gu religion.
Once the leader can marry a wife and have children, it means that he has the opportunity to turn the Gu religion into a family owned by one family. And once it is controlled by a family, its ambition may not be as simple as being the king in the deep mountains and old forests. Those old guys see this clearly. "
Zhan Ning'er shot him a sideways look, and said, "You can force them to agree to your traveling around the world for twenty years, tacitly allow you to marry a wife and have children, why can't you force them to agree to more."
Ye Xiaotian smiled wryly: "Do you know what Gedwa said to me? He said that if I push them, they will not hesitate to turn me into a living dead at the mercy of others! Miss Ning'er, people's patience There is a limit, and they have already made a lot of concessions, I dare not push too hard all at once. Always give me some time, let me take it step by step, too hasty, it will be counterproductive."
Zhan Ning'er sneered and said, "How long is it step by step, five years or ten years? Or thirty years, fifty years? Before you are sure whether you can convince them, let Yingying follow you like this? If Twenty years later, you still can’t convince those elders what to do, so you leave your wife and children and go back to the mountain with them? Have you ever thought that you are selfish in doing so?”
Ye Xiaotian listened to her with lowered eyelids at first, but slowly raised his eyes when he heard this, and asked seriously: "Then what do you think I should do? Let me tell her that following me will harm her, let her find her Married to a good man? May they be happy and have a baby soon? Fuck it, I can't do it! I'm not a saint!"
Zhan Ning'er was stunned for a moment, and said with a sneer, "As long as you can't convince the eight elders, the Xia family won't agree to your marriage, what can you do?"
Ye Xiaotian stared at her, and said word by word: "I will slowly think about the solution, it is absolutely impossible to give up!"
After Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, she turned around and left. Zhan Ning'er blurted out, "That sounds good! Then why did you give up on Xue Shuiwu at the beginning? You never gave up when you came to Yingying's place. After all, you are just greedy for Yingying's beauty. And her family background!"
Ye Xiaotian stopped abruptly, Zhan Ning'er bit her lower lip tightly, suddenly regretted, she didn't understand why she said such harsh words, she already regretted it, but she couldn't say "I'm sorry" to Ye Xiaotian .
Ye Xiaotian didn't look back, he just straightened his waist, and said in a low voice: "If Shui Wu said that she would never leave me when her mother tried everything possible to prevent us from being together, I would never leave her! But she didn't , but Yingying did it!"
"As long as she doesn't let me down, I will never let her down!" Ye Xiaotian walked forward step by step with steady steps, as if standing in front of him were the hundred and ten brothers of the Xia family, but his footsteps Without hesitation, he greeted him proudly.
"As long as she doesn't let me down, I will never let her down!" These words rumbled in Zhan Ning'er's heart like Hong Zhong Dalu, looking at Ye Xiaotian's tall and straight back, Zhan Ning'er's eyes were like spots of paint Gradually blooming blurred meaning.
※※※
The feast prepared by the five chefs of the Ye family has been prepared, and Ye Xiaotian invited Zhan Ning'er to listen to the banquet in the Yuxie after hearing the news from Miss Ye.
At this time, Ye Xiaotian's emotions had stabilized, and he said to Zhan Ning'er: "If there was any impoliteness just now, please forgive me. Yingying is there, I will trouble you to go back later, please tell her, I will not let She waited too long!"
She clearly likes him in her heart, but she still wants to go-between for other women, who can Zhan Ning'er tell her resentment in her heart? She glanced at Ye Xiaotian lightly, then nodded silently without making a sound.
Ye Xiaotian invited sideways: "The banquet has been prepared, and it is set in the listening pavilion. Please, you have a high vision, and help me to see if there is anything wrong with the garden of my mansion, please." Give me one or two pointers, so I can correct it in time."
Zhan Ning'er snorted and said, "I saw it just now, it's quite magnificent, and the scenery is unique. If you only talk about the size of the garden, it's probably unmatched in Hu County. You are just a classic history , so ostentatious, aren't you afraid that the county magistrate, county magistrate, and master who are older than you will be unhappy?"
Ye Xiaotian said indifferently: "Even if I'm not happy, what can they do to me? To tell you the truth, I seem to have a natural conflict with those high-ranking people. Even if I put my tail between my legs and don't provoke them They can always attract their suspicions, so why should I hold back myself?"
Zhan Ning'er slightly twitched the corners of her lips.
Tingyu Pavilion is a vermilion hall with a rolling shed and mountain-mounted roof, light eaves and exquisite hangings under the eaves, and slightly curved goose-neck chairs between the thick red pillars, which are simple and natural in shape. ,Simple and elegant.
There is a pool of water in front of the Ting Yu Pavilion. The water is drawn from the spring in the mountain. The spring water is clear, and then merges with the river leading down the mountain through a dark passage. Listening to the rain pavilion half above the water, the window is open, and you are in the pavilion, with a pool of clear water in front of you, and a few clumps of bamboo by the water, which is elegant and fascinating.
Yaoyao and Qian Qingqing are very close. Although they are more than ten years apart in age, they are like a pair of best friends, but if they hear their conversation at this time, it will inevitably make people laugh.
Yaoyao is still a little girl now, and when she and Qian Qingqing are together, they naturally don't talk about rouge, gouache, jewelry, and love between men and women. They are actually talking about Yaoyao's favorite movie "Journey to the West" .
Qian Qingqing had never read this book before. On the way to Hu County from Guiyang, she often heard this story told by Yaoyao. After arriving in Hu County, Qian Qingqing searched around and bought a copy. In order to cast Yaoyao's favor.
Now Qian Qingqing has read this book carefully, but Yaoyao listened to Shuiwu tell her a passage every night before going to bed, so her understanding of this story is naturally not as comprehensive as that of Qian Qingqing, so the two of them actually met in the hall. We talked about Journey to the West for a long time.
Yaoyao took Qian Qingqing's hand into Ting Yuxie, and asked with undiminished interest: "Sister Qingqing, you said that Sun Dasheng and the spider spirit have been fighting for so long, why didn't you use the fixation technique to fix them all at once?" , that will save you trouble."
Zhan Ning'er and Ye Xiaotian also happened to enter the pavilion from the other side. Hearing this sentence, Zhan Ning'er snorted coldly, gave Ye Xiaotian a glance, and said pointedly: "It's not easy, a man sees a beautiful woman , where is the concentration?"
Qian Qingqing smiled at Zhan Ning'er, and said, "Miss Zhan, please don't get me wrong, I am actually..."
Zhan Ning'er snapped back and said: "I know you are the wife of the postman in this county, but I'm not talking about you, I'm just saying, this man, no matter how honest he is, in fact, everyone is a womanizer! "
Mr. Dong was too old, and his mind was full of bugs, so he didn't respond to Zhan Ning'er's words at all. As if infected by Ye Xiaotian, Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi raised their hands in embarrassment and rubbed their noses.
Ye Xiaotian rubbed his nose and said with a dry smile: "Come on, everyone, please take a seat. Miss Ning'er, sister-in-law of the Zhao family, please take a seat."
Ye Xiaotian actually understands why Zhan Ninger always targets him, but if he misses some things, he misses it. Even though he understands Miss Zhan's affection for him, he also likes this hot-tempered Miss Zhan in his heart, but he also doesn't like it. There is no way.
If Yingying is really a girl selling pears, and Ning'er is a prostitute who goes around the rivers and lakes, I guess Mr. Ye will be proud, full of confidence, and say to them like a reward: "Master, I look at your body." With your delicate waist and soft appearance and charming appearance, I will accept you. From now on, I will serve my lord on the pillow mat, and I will let you eat delicious food, drink spicy food, and eat fine clothes and fine food.
However, one of these two girls is bigger than the other, Ye Xiaotian wants to marry such a girl, he has to pass five hurdles, and the difficulty is no less than choosing a son-in-law.
Ye Xiaotian still has a little self-knowledge about himself, he didn't dare to get angry at all, so naturally he didn't dare to accept the trick, but when he came here, he subconsciously felt that he was a beauty, and he was very tolerant of Zhan Ning'er's occasional temper tantrum up.
Although Yaoyao thinks that Miss Ning'er has a weird look, always robbing her brother Xiaotian, but still can't see through the ambiguity between the two, Qian Qingqing has a bright heart, so she doesn't think it's disobedience , just smiled slightly, and sat down beside Yaoyao.
Although Zhan Ning'er wanted to grab Ye Xiaotian with her mouth, she didn't give in, and sat down on Ye Xiaotian's right hand. This way, Ye Xiaotian was next to Yaoyao on his left, Qian Qingqing was next to Yaoyao, and Qian Qingqing was next to him on his right. It was Zhan Ning'er.
Both Mao Wenzhi and Hua Yunfei didn't want to be next to the tigress, so they pushed the old man Dong there. Ye Xiaotian raised his glass and said enthusiastically: "Today, Ye moved to a new house, and it happened that Miss Zhan came from afar. It can be called double happiness. Come, let's drink this glass of wine to celebrate!"
There is also a wine cup in front of Yaoyao, but it is filled with fruit juice. Yaoyao picked up the wine cup and touched Ye Xiaotian in a similar way. He took a sip to himself.
Ye Xiaotian touched a soft nail, but his expression remained unchanged, his smile remained the same, the raised wine glass sank naturally, touched the plate in front of Zhan Ning'er, and drank it down in one gulp. Zhan Ning'er stared at him and said: "You have become an official and your house has been built, it seems that there is a lack of a mistress, there must be a lot of people rushing to marry a girl to you."
Before Ye Xiaotian could speak, Hua Yunfei said: "Miss Zhan, with my elder brother's current status, it is not difficult to find a wife who is satisfactory, but my elder brother has always kept himself clean and self-respecting. Look at my elder brother's house. There isn't even a single woman."
Mao Wenzhi interjected, "Yes! My elder brother has been an official for so long. He has power and money, but he has never hooked up with a single woman."
Zhan Ning'er felt a little more comfortable, looked at Ye Xiaotian and said, "Yingying is my Jinlan friend, I treat her like my own sister, now that you are separated, you are not allowed to do anything wrong to her!"
Ye Xiaotian sighed leisurely, looked at the bamboo forest in front through the window, his eyes suddenly became deep, and chanted in a deep and magnetic voice: "Out of the east gate, there are women like clouds, even though they are like clouds, bandits I think about it." No matter how weak the water is, I, Ye Xiaotian, just take a scoop to drink. May I be like a star king like a moon, with a bright and clean night and night... Miss Ning'er, if you don't believe me, you might as well take a look at my mansion. Is there a young woman? "
Zhan Ning'er's face paled, she nodded slightly and said, "Forget you, in fact, I just remind you..."
Zhan Ning'er hadn't finished speaking yet, and there was a cheer like an oriole from the pavilion: "Brother Xiaotian, I'm back!"
Ye Xiaotian followed the reputation and saw a young Miao girl wearing a short jacket with narrow sleeves and a large collar, a pair of flared trousers inlaid with embroidered lace, an embroidered apron tied around her slender waist, and a shining silver collar around her neck. Pretty and charming, more beautiful than flowers.
Ye Xiaotian was dumbfounded, that lover's face could no longer be put on.
