Chapter 83: It's More Difficult than Fighting
As he was getting closer and closer to the day when King Yu ascended the throne, everyone was worried about Ye Wan at a happy moment.
Because the wedding day that Chu Hui and she said was the second day after His Royal Highness Yu ascended the throne, the reason for worry was that she could not embroider the wedding dress at all.
Ye Wan bit her silver teeth and stared at the top of the top colorful red silk cloth in front of her, and she couldn't speak at all. She thought that she was a military commander, Wen Ke wrote the outline of the military governance, and Wu Ke defeated the enemy's minions on the ground, but she lost to this small embroidery needle - whether in her past or present life, she knew nothing about this kind of thing!
Think about it, the daughters of other wealthy families began to think about preparing to embroider wedding dresses after they were in the hairpin. The so-called needles and needles were weeping blood. What they wanted was that every needle and thread on the day of marriage was all from the sense of accomplishment in her hands. But she had no mother, no sisters, and no maid. Why did she do if she stared at these red silks? Could it be that she could draw one of them with gold ink?
Thinking about Chu Hui's serious red silks were sent to her to squat at home to embroider wedding dresses, she didn't have to worry about anything else, and even showed a hateful face of "You'll waste these very expensive people slowly", which made Ye Wan not angry. It was no problem to ask her to carry a knife and kill people. Knowing that she was not good at these things at all, she had to let her do it herself, it was simply bullying her Ye Wanwan to speak!
Ye Wan thought about it and called Aunt Yan, who was holding the kitchen. Aunt Yan looked at the red silk curiously and said shyly: "What is this? The old woman's family is poor. When she got married, she could get married by pulling two red cloth heads. I don't know how to embroider." She showed a pair of hands that had become thick and big knuckles because of the years when she was holding the kitchen. It was really awkward to pinch the embroidery needle in her hand.
In desperation, Ye Wan had to go to Yao's mansion to ask Yao Qingshu with shamelessness.
Yao Qingshu was shocked at first that Ye Wan was going to get married, and then responded with embarrassment and helplessness: "I probably can't help you. I have been immersed in mechanisms and numerology with my father for many years and have never embroidered a wedding dress myself. What's more, I'm still old now, and I even think that I won't get married in this life, and I don't know what to do... I don't know what to do, so why don't I ask my mother or Gui... Guipin?"
"No, no need..." Ye Wan was ashamed. This matter was just a verbal statement. I didn't see Chu Hui doing anything. Maybe he was coaxing her to play with it. It might not be a good idea if someone else knew about it. Especially on the second day after His Royal Highness Yu ascended the throne, he didn't feel good.
Yao Qingshu looked at Ye Wan sympathetically, knowing Ye Wan's low-key personality in his heart, and was thinking about whether he should go to his mother to learn first and then teach Ye Wan secretly. However, from the perspective of time, it seemed that it was a bit too late.
Ye Wan bid farewell to the Yao Mansion and thought for a long time. She was indeed a little sad. She was almost seventeen soon, but except for Yao Qingshu and Hua Ying, and Mu Niang, there was no other female friends in the capital. She walked to the gate of Cuiyu Pavilion in a sad and depressed manner, but after thinking for a long time, she still didn't enter. Mu Niang's ex-husband was a bastard, and she would definitely not want to remember the scene when she got married, so she would not go to make things difficult for her again.
She hesitated and walked back to the general's mansion, indignant. Or she would just throw a can and put on a red cloth and put on a sedan chair! Chu Hui dared to throw such a big problem to her, then she would...why would she go to an outside store to buy a ready-made one? I wonder if there is any wedding dress sold in this era, and whether she would discuss with Hua Wujian to start a blue ocean business selling wedding dresses?
The problem of her wedding dress was not solved naturally because of her troubles, and became a problem that lies in her heart. Every day, apart from sitting in front of the embroidery platform that Akagi took time to help her prepare, she was stunned by the rumored expensive and precious red silk.
It is too difficult to embroider wedding dresses, it is even more difficult than fighting! Ye Wan said in his heart.
Days passed day by day, and it was the day when King Yu ascended the throne. Chu Hui was also busier than before. Because the envoys from various countries who celebrated King Yu ascended the throne came to Yanjing to celebrate, Yanjing once again boiled like the water that had rolled out as much as the Emperor Ruijia and the Grand Ceremony of Guan.
Ye Wan finally gave up the issue of wedding dress for a while. Thinking that she would wear red silk to the sedan chair by then. If anyone dared to laugh at her, she instructed the brothers of Team 7 to rush up and beat him up. Maybe they could be regarded as alternative, which set off a trend of wedding dresses in Yanjing. After putting down the big stone in her heart, she suddenly felt much more relaxed and asked Yao Qingshu to drink tea and watch the fun.
Today, the envoys entered the capital, which is also a "annual" grand scene. The entire central street of Yanjing was surrounded by people, and there were endless whispers. After these days, the people of Yanjing have accepted the news that the Great Yan royal family has changed. This may be a good thing for them, because the war has been completed and the new emperor ascended the throne, and the world will be exempted from taxes to show kindness. For the people, it has nothing to do with who is in charge, as long as it is beneficial to them.
The business of Pinmingxuan is still very popular, especially on such an unprecedented day, the lobby on the first floor is already full of people. Only Ye Wan, who was specially ordered by Hua Wujian, can have his own private room on the second floor, which can have a seated space for a long time at this time.
Ye Wan couldn't help but think of the winter a year and a half ago. It was also at this location that she met Princess Dina from the Northern Han Dynasty and Yuan Jiong from the Western Qin Dynasty. It was almost two years later, and it was not an exaggeration to say that things were right and wrong.
"Ah Wan, are you ready for the wedding dress?" Yao Qingshu asked in confusion. According to what Ye Wan said, "The next day after His Highness Yu ascended the throne, she and General Chu will get married. She is still in the mood to sit here and take her to have tea together? Will Ye Wan be a little too calm?
Ye Wan shrugged without any hesitation and said, "Let's talk about it." She had already made up her mind not to touch the damn little needle and thread. There was almost nothing that could stump her in the eighteen weapons. She had to worry about the silver needle that was thinner than her fingers.
Yao Qingshu shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard that the door of the private room was knocked twice rhythmically.
Ye Wan looked at Yao Qingshu with a smile and said, "Please come in." That was the second most idle person in Yanjing except Ye Wan. Ye Wan was idle and invited him together.
"Who is it?" Yao Qingshu looked curiously.
Xie Qingwen walked into the private room and was stunned for a moment when he saw Yao Qingshu. His originally loose mood suddenly became nervous and embarrassed. He rubbed his hands secretly and coughed, "That... it turns out that Miss Yao is here too." He glared at Ye Wan depressedly. He thought it was the invitation of Ye Wan and General Chu, but he didn't expect it to be the two girls. Is it not appropriate for him to appear here?
However, there are Yao Qingshu's maid Qi'er and Zhu Huan in the room, which is not that...inappropriate.
He sat down quietly and exchanged greetings with Ye Wan. The whole room was suddenly covered with a quiet atmosphere that could make people feel cold.
Yao Qingshu has tightened her eyebrows slightly since Xie Qingwen came in. She didn't seem to be disgusted, but she was not happy, making people wonder what she was thinking.
Ye Wan said in his heart: General Xie, General Xie, please fight for yourself. There is only so much I can do for you. She coughed lightly, thought for a while and said, "In a few days, Your Highness Yu King ascended the throne. I wonder if General Xie has any plans? Should he stay in Yanjing or go back to the north?" She glanced at Yao Qingshu quietly. Although Yao Qingshu did not have any special expression when he said the word "return to the north", her left eyebrows jumped slightly, and it seemed that she was not indifferent to Xie Qingwen.
Ye Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and it would be nice if she was touched. Sister Yao didn't really have any interest in Xie Qingwen, but she was the one who meddled with the other.
Xie Qingwen did not see any abnormal movements in Yao Qingshu, and shook his head and said, "I don't know that my father has died, the northern border is empty, and the border cannot be lost all year round. If His Highness Yu is willing, I probably have to go back to the northern border. No matter how far, there is no one in Yanjing, there is no need for the Xie family." He said a little desolately, perfectly portraying himself into a person who sacrifices himself for the country and the people.
While agreeing with what Xie Qingwen said, Ye Wan couldn't help but sigh that Xie Qingwen was not a clean and crisp solid bun, but a sesame-filled dumpling that was pretending to be silly and sweet.
"Why should General Xie belittle himself? The Xie family army is a loyal minister and a hero of Dayan. How could anyone not need the Xie family?" Yao Qingshu took a sip of tea and said seriously.
Xie Qingwen shook his head and smiled a little sadly: "The Xie family army is just a defeated general. It is God's kindness to not extinction. How can the people respect and love? I just hope that after I return to the north, I can accompany me with yellow sand, wind and snow, and don't have any more wars, and just end my life in simplicity."
Looking at Yao Qingshu's sudden entangled face, Ye Wan couldn't help but want to applaud Xie Qingwen. She still underestimated Xie Qingwen. He was not just a sesame-filled dumpling, but a black-hearted coal ball! Yao Qingshu was simple and kind, if she was really deceived by Xie Qingwen and went home... sighed.
Yao Qingshu said: "...If you really think so, you will be so cold that all the efforts of the Xie family army have been remembered in your heart. No one has ever blamed the Xie family army, and no one has ever contempt for the Xie family army. No matter what, please remember this in your heart." As she said sincerely, Xie Qing heard the seriousness, Ye Wan suddenly felt that she had a lot of extravagance.
Judging from Xie Qingwen's deceitfulness level, maybe Ye Wan's help is really not needed. She touched her nose and thought.
At this moment, a noisy and lively sound came from downstairs. Ye Wan sat down to the window and half leaned against the windowsill. The envoy's team had already entered Yanjing City from the south city gate and headed towards the Central Street. Ye Wan raised his eyebrows slightly. The one sitting on the horse was Princess Dina who had not seen for a long time. Although she did not see the prince and the prince, there were no familiar ones next to her, and Xiao Feng, who looked familiar, who was dressed in big Yan clothes, next to her.
She picked up her chin in surprise. Xiao Feng was a strange person. She obviously fled from Yanjing with the King of Qi. She didn't stay in the Northern Han Dynasty, but she had to come back openly and show her face. She even mingled with the team of envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty. However, the King of Qi had never violated any law. Xiao Feng insisted that he was just traveling to the Northern Han Dynasty, but he happened to come back to congratulate His Highness Yu on the ascension of the throne. No one dared to say anything.
Dina saw Ye Wan lying on the windowsill from afar, and stretched out her hand and raised her, saying hello to her.
Ye Wan thought to himself: It seems that his relationship with this princess is not very harmonious, and he even almost had a quarrel with the Beihan because of hurting Na Muya. What does it mean to be like this now?
However, out of etiquette, Ye Wan nodded as a response. No matter what their purpose was, the visitor was a guest, so you can't drive the person out forcibly, right? Although Ye Wan really wanted to do this.
Just as he was thinking, Zhu Huan's cold voice came from behind him: "Stay."
"It's considered an old acquaintance. Ah Wan isn't that unkind, right?" A familiar voice sounded at the door of the private room. A "pop" sound was the sound of the folding fan stretching.
