Chapter 7 Sowing Discord
Besides, Lin returned to his yard and watched her husband sorting out the works made by scholars in Songyang County. He took Xu Yan's reading, and the more he looked, the more he felt satisfied.
Lin said with a smile: "Is that person so good?"
Ye Heng put down the things in his hand and said, "You don't know that that person will definitely achieve something in the future, and his achievements will not be small anymore, so now we'd better be able to win over it. Which one do you think is better, the fourth sister or the fifth sister?"
Lin said what happened today and finally commented: "The fifth sister is so thoughtful, so I'm afraid she won't want to marry a scholar in the countryside. But the fourth sister will see it better."
Ye Heng didn't know his concubines, and nodded after hearing this: "Then let's see if you decide the fourth sister. Xu Yan is good at everything. The only thing is that he is a little bad. He is from the countryside. Otherwise, Xiao Liu would marry him."
Lin smiled and said, "Don't think about the Sixth Sister. My mother has high expectations for the Sixth Sister. The Fourth Sister is good. The key is transparent and clear, so when you become prosperous in the future, you will not be ungrateful. As long as we are better to the Fourth Sister."
Ye Heng always believed in his wife's judgment, and nodded when he heard this: "If this is the case, let's just the fourth sister. I'll wait to talk to Xu Yan alone, and then let Xu Yan see the fourth sister privately."
Lin thought for a while and said, "If this happens, let the fourth sister see him!"
Ye Heng frowned: "What's there to see?" He asked Xu Yan to see Ye Qingzhi because he was worried that Xu Yan would not look down on Ye Qingzhi, but Ye Qingzhi had no right to refuse.
What is Lin's unclear about her husband? She said: "The fourth sister is a smart person and will not refuse. It's just that our actions can make the fourth sister feel respected, and it can be considered a good sale for the fourth sister. Moreover, no matter how capable Xu Yan is, he is now just a mud-legged person in the countryside. Marrying our daughter is a high-spirited person."
Ye Heng paused and looked at his wife: "You are so optimistic about the fourth sister?" His wife has never been a nosy, but this time she insisted.
Lin smiled and said, "Yes, the most promising sister among all the sisters in the future may be this sister."
Ye Heng was silent for a while and said, "Let the fourth sister take a look in private if you say this!" His wife rarely has such comments. Now Ye Heng goes to see Ye Qingzhi and still has no impression. He is just a more peaceful girl. How could he let his wife say such words?
However, no matter what, it was done casually, so Ye Heng agreed.
Lin stopped talking about Xu Yan, but talked about Ye Qingrong, just reminding her husband not to put too many expectations on Ye Qingrong.
Qingzhi called Xiangyue here and said to her: "I don't have much work here, but I just have some basic things. You will basically get started in two days. Huan'er is relatively young, so I will still have to let you take her with me in the future."
The person who spoke was talking and talking, Xiangyue's identity was settled. Xiangyue was not the kind of particularly ambitious, so this time she asked them temporarily who would come to serve the fourth girl, Xiangyue went there.
Others think that is no different from being in the cold palace, but Xiangyue understands one truth: the fourth girl is not so bad, and may not be so decent, but there are some benefits. She doesn't think she can fight for anything based on her personality, so it's better to be with the fourth girl. This is not that the fourth girl is not too late to make things difficult for her as soon as she comes. Instead, she handed over important things to her.
Xiangyue was very satisfied and said, "Yes, girl, I will try to get used to serving the girl earlier."
Xiangyue’s temperament and nature are different from Cuixiang’s impetuousness, so Qingzhi is very satisfied with the person Lin chose for her.
After she ordered Xiangyue and Qingzhi to return to the kang, Ye Qingfen came in. Both of them slapped and then smiled at each other. To be honest, Qingzhi was a little awkward. She was usually used to it alone, but now she was not familiar with Ye Qingfen. It was really a little embarrassed when the two of them were in the same room.
Qingzhi still greeted: "Fifth sister is here."
Ye Qingfen was polite: "Well, what do I need to do here with the Fourth Sister? I'll help the Fourth Sister."
Qingzhi said, "There is nothing to do. I have few things here. I usually just do some needlework or read some books when I have nothing to do."
Ye Qingfen didn't really want to do something based on Qingzhi, but just asked a question. Seeing this, she stopped saying anything. Qingzhi felt that there was nothing to say, so she went to the kang and took out the needle and thread to start doing it.
Ye Qingfen originally wanted to complain to Ye Qingrong with Qingzhi. Today, she was still very angry in her heart, but she couldn't say anything when she looked like Ye Qingzhi's cotton look.
Ye Qingfen thought Qingzhi was just a fool, and she had been provoked like this, but she had no reaction at all!
Qingzhi is not really stupid, so why can't she tell Ye Qingfen is full of complaints? But she doesn't want to tell Ye Qingfen about this. First of all, she and Ye Qingfen are not so familiar. Then Ye Qingfen is temporarily defined by her as someone who is not worthy of being intimate, so she will not say too much gossip to Ye Qingfen. Besides, if you hear too much complaint, you will also affect your mood. If you have too many negative emotions, it is not a good thing.
So Qingzhi was just doing her own thing. She wanted to go through the past two days in peace. Although she was in the same yard in the future, she would just live a peaceful life.
If Ye Qingfen wanted to find fault, Qingzhi would not give in.
Just like this, two days later, Ye Qingfen moved to the east wing. It seemed that Ye Qingfen had figured it out, and she didn't feel angry anymore in the past two days, and then the two got along harmoniously.
The day after moving over, Qingzhi went over and had dinner with Ye Qingfen, and then Qingzhi gave Ye Qingfen two purses and two handkerchiefs, which was considered a warm-up room.
Lin also sent the couplets written by Ye Heng himself and a pair of vases. Then Ye Qingying also came over and said something. The second son of Yingbo's Marquis' Mansion gave Ye Qingrong a bucket of pearls as Ye Qingrong's New Year gift.
The already cold greenhouse was even more deserted because of this. Ye Qingfen calmed down and felt uncomfortable again because of the hu of pearls.
Qingzhi glanced at Ye Qingying. The little girl looked lively, as if she was chatting casually, but every word she said was full of provocation. Sure enough, everyone in the family was not a good person.
Ye Qingying smiled at Qingzhi, as if she was very innocent. In fact, she felt the same discomfort. Why did the good things fall on the idiot Ye Qingrong?
After the warm-up event, the New Year is about to be celebrated. There is basically the same rule every year. Qingzhi doesn’t need to prepare anything here. As long as they have a meal together on New Year’s Eve, they will watch the night. On the first day of the lunar month, others come to the county magistrate’s mansion to pay New Year’s greetings, and they don’t have to go out. They can be allowed to watch the lanterns on the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
There was really nothing else. Qingzhi was looking forward to the Lantern Festival.
She basically figured out Xu Yan's affairs. After knowing that Xu Yan was a countryman, Qingzhi was not very disappointed. To be honest, Xu Yan's identity would only make her feel at ease.
Then to be honest, Qingzhi thinks that Xu Yan is good in all aspects, so Qingzhi understands that Xu Yan is the most suitable among the limited choices.
But Qingzhi thought Xu Yan was suitable. Qingzhi didn't know what Xu Yan's attitude was. Judging from the news that she knew, Xu Yan should be a more independent person, so she may not necessarily marry her because of her identity.
Moreover, Qingzhi was also vaguely worried that Xu Yan was not willing. After all, marrying her may not necessarily get any benefits, but when he is successful in the future, the Ye family will definitely want Xu Yan's reward.
So in this regard, she really doesn't have any advantages.
However, Lin had already revealed her marriage to County Magistrate Ye. Wang and her elder brother Ye Heng were both satisfied, thinking that she and Xu Yan would meet on the Lantern Festival.
Then if it is appropriate, the marriage will be settled after the New Year. Of course, Qingzhi also understood that she did not have much choice.
