Chapter 14 Proposal
Ye Qinghuai had a good sleep. Early the next morning, she was woken up by the sound of a dog barking.
She opened the door, and it was already bright outside.
Then, she met Qin Yang, who was also sleepy-eyed and had just opened the door.
Qin Yang woke up most of the time when he saw Ye Qinghuai.
He stretched out a finger and pointed back and forth between Ye Qinghuai and the door behind her several times before asking incoherently: "You, you, you... why did you come out of my sister's house!"
At the end of the sentence, he walked toward Ye Qinghuai angrily, his eyes red. Ye Qinghuai could almost foresee the scene of him being picked up like a hawk catching a chicken.
"It's not what you think!" Ye Qinghuai waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Brother Qin, keep your hands!"
Qin Yang endured the fire and stood still in front of her. He was tall and strong, and Ye Qinghuai was completely covered in his shadow.
"Miss Qin gave this room to me yesterday. She slept in the west wing, which is not what you thought." Ye Qinghuai explained quickly.
But Qin Yang immediately caught another blind spot: "Why did she give up her room to you?"
Ye Qinghuai was stunned by his question and didn't know how to answer.
Qin Yang didn't want to think about it, but he did some research on his own, and said thoughtfully: "Is she attracted to you?"
Ye Qinghuai gasped and thought: Probably not.
At this moment, the sound of bustling people suddenly came from the gate of Wenxintang.
Ye Qinghuai and Qin Yang looked at the front yard together. Qin Yang's face suddenly changed, and he murmured: "It's not that stupid boy again..." while muttering, he walked towards the front yard.
Seeing his unkind expression, Ye Qinghuai also hurried after him.
The door to the front hall of Wenxintang was halfway open. Qin Baozhu, wearing a blue cloth jacket, held the door with one hand to block the people outside.
Ye Qinghuai looked out from the gap and saw several servants carrying three or four boxes to enter the door of Wenxintang, but they were all stopped by Qin Baozhu. Ye Qinghuai looked behind and saw these
Behind him stood a man in rich clothes. The man was wearing a cloak with green brocade. The material was soft and smooth, and it looked like it was worth a lot of money.
What is striking is that on such a cold day, he is still slowly shaking a paper fan in his hand. There are several bamboos painted on the paper fan. Ye Qinghuai looked carefully and it seems that it is everyone's handiwork.
She thought it was interesting, on this cold winter morning, where did this arty rich man come from to block the door.
"Mr. Du, Wen Xintang has not dared to mess with someone as rich as you in this century-old history. Please bring these jewels back with you." Qin Baozhu said to the young man while stopping the servant.
But Mr. Du still said to Qin Baozhu with a smile: "These are your betrothal gifts for Miss Qin. They will not affect the reputation of the school."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Du came to propose marriage in person. Ye Qinghuai couldn't help but ask Qin Yang beside him: "Is Miss Qin engaged to him?"
"We've set up a big-headed ghost!" Qin Yang said viciously, "That guy is stalking me all day long. He wants my sister to be his concubine based on how little money he has at home."
"I see that Miss Qin has reached the age of marriage. Didn't the family say goodbye to her?"
"She doesn't want to do it herself, so what's the use of me saying it." Qin Yang said angrily.
"Then Mr. Du comes to ask for marriage, don't you care?"
"I don't dare to care." Qin Yang looked at Qin Baozhu's back and said, "That silly boy doesn't need me to take action, Yaomei can handle it by herself. If I do something, she will still blame me when she comes back."
Sure enough, Ye Qinghuai listened to Qin Baozhu looking at the treasure box on the ground and saying to Mr. Du: "Young Master has given such a big betrothal gift. Could it be that he wants to carry an eight-carriage sedan to welcome the little girl to the door and become the mistress of the house?"
The smile on Mr. Du's face dropped a bit and he said: "Miss Qin, although I can't give you the right position, I promise that after you come here, I will definitely treat you like a real wife."
"It's a crime to spoil a concubine and kill your wife. Master Du, aren't you afraid of getting the truth by shouting like this in the street?"
When Mr. Du heard what she said, he actually covered his mouth and did not dare to say anything more.
"Also, Mr. Du has forgotten what oath my daughter made?"
"Of course I remember. The girl said that she will not marry unless she is a Jinshi." Mr. Du suddenly raised his head and waved the paper fan in his hand, determined to achieve enlightenment, "To be fair to the girl, I will definitely win the exam this spring. Girl.
Accept my betrothal gift, and the day when the results are released will be the time for me to marry the girl."
Ye Qinghuai's heart suddenly tightened, and an alarm bell sounded in his head.
"Since the young master is so confident, the little girl is waiting for the good news from the young master. It's just that it won't be too late to bring the betrothal gift on the day when the results are announced."
Mr. Du didn't seem to notice the polite rejection in Qin Baozhu's words. He only said that she was really looking forward to him asking for marriage after he was in high school.
"Okay, the girl will wait for me for a few more days." After saying that, he happily left with his servants.
After the crowd dispersed, Qin Baozhu turned around and saw Ye Qinghuai and Qin Yang looking at her together, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if his father hadn't smoothed the relationship for him, just with the little ink in his belly,
It’s difficult to even pass the imperial examination, let alone the imperial examination.”
Ye Qinghuai's expression darkened.
Since the promotion of people can smoothen relationships, what about Jinshi? Can it also clear relationships?
"What is that in your hand?" Qin Yang's question interrupted Ye Qinghuai's thoughts.
Ye Qinghuai also looked at Qin Baozhu's hand and saw a big red post in her hand.
"Oh, I forgot. This is the marriage proposal he gave me, I have to return it to him."
Ye Qinghuai looked at the red post in her hand and had an idea in her mind.
"I'll go and return it to him for Miss Qin. I'm sorry to bother you all, but I'm about to say goodbye, so I'll do this for you." Ye Qinghuai saluted the two of them.
Qin Baozhu looked at her for a long time, then handed her the greeting card and said, "It's so troublesome, sir. His family lives in Xianfufang, just go west."
Ye Qinghuai took the invitation and said, "I'll go right now. Don't worry, Miss Qin."
She raised her head and met Qin Baozhu's gaze. The girl smiled at her and said, "I wish the young master a successful victory and a title on the gold medal list."
Ye Qinghuai was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I'll borrow the girl's good words."
After this farewell, we probably wouldn't see each other again. Ye Qinghuai felt a little bit reluctant to leave her inexplicably.
She couldn't tell what she was nostalgic for. Maybe it was the braised beef made by Qin Baozhu, maybe it was the daily quarrels between brothers and sisters, or maybe it was Wenxintang's simple kindness to an outsider like her.
However, her surprise, in Qin Yang's eyes, turned into an affectionate look at his sister, with a flirtatious look.
"Why don't you leave? You won't be able to catch up with him for a while." Qin Yang reminded Ye Qinghuai angrily.
Ye Qinghuai finally came to his senses, nodded to Qin Yang and apologized, turned around and walked out of the Wenxin Hall gate.
As expected, Qin Baozhu scolded Qin Yang from behind: "How old are you, why are you still so rude? No wonder you still can't find a wife."
"What does this have to do with me not getting a wife?"
…
In the midst of the argument between the brother and sister, Ye Qinghuai headed towards the road filled with cars and horses.
