Chapter 141

Ye Hongfei went to Ningyan Pavilion to find his sister again. Ye Jinli was pestering her sister to play with flower ropes. When she saw him, she called out "Second Brother".

Ye Jinxi knew that he had something to say when he saw him, so he said to his sister: "Brother wants to talk to his sister. Jinli is good, can you go out to play first?"

Ye Jinli said oh, got off the couch, and followed the maid out.

Ye Jinxi threw the flower rope casually, "There is tea on the table, pour it yourself."

"I'm not thirsty, I'll just say a few words." Ye Hongfei found a seat casually and sat down, "Cheng Zhuo has left."

Ye Jinxi said she knew.

If Cheng Zhuo didn't leave, he wouldn't come here at this time.

"You don't want to know what he said?"

"Anyway, I'm definitely not here to make trouble, otherwise you won't be able to get rid of it."

Ye Hongfei was stunned for a while and said, "Sister, I think you probably had a prejudice against him in the past."

"Um?"

Ye Hongfei thought for a while and said, "You have been engaged to the Xie family. Logically, I shouldn't have told you about this anymore, but seeing him just now... it's quite pitiful."

Ye Jinxi looked at him strangely.

"Aren't you always unfamiliar with the fireworks of the world, and you actually sympathize with others?"

Ye Hongfei's mouth twitched.

"Sister, I find that you are really cold-blooded."

Ye Jinxi was silent for a while and sighed, "Maybe I was too one-sided about him in the past. Now he has become an imperial guard. Whether it is for me or for the family, it is always a good thing for him. He is only in his teens now, and he is just a half-year-old child. He may feel uncomfortable now. But people are looking forward. When he has experienced more things, he will understand that life is never for someone or something. In a year or two, when I get married, he will have no hope. Time will be the best healing medicine, and sooner or later he will forget me."

Whatever love is like a vow of promises, it is just a script to make the audience smile. Real life is vegetables, rice, oil and salt, and the dullness and warmth of the long flow of water. Cheng Zhuo is a child of a noble family. He has probably never been rejected or suffered setbacks. He suddenly fell in love and was hit by this blow. Perhaps it was like a heart-wrenching pain for him. But his life is still long and he will not stay with her forever.

She chose Xie Ying, but actually had her own considerations.

First of all, family members.

She hardly knows the Marquis Mansion of Jingning. She is familiar with the Marquis Mansion of Nanyang. Xie Ying's sister-in-law has a low background and will not be too far apart from her sister-in-law in the future. Cheng Zhuo himself is very different from his brother, and he can almost be counted as two generations. Both of his nephews are older than him. They are different from ancient times and modern times. The high-ranking houses are not separated. Such a family is actually more troublesome to get along with.

Also, she really didn't call Cheng Zhuo.

In fact, when it comes to this, she doesn't seem to have any heart-pounding feelings towards Xie Ying. But as she said, she is quite familiar with Xie Ying and has some understanding of it. Xie Ying agrees and supports many of her ideas.

For example, the previous newspapers and workshops.

Last time Xie Ying came to propose marriage, and before leaving, she talked about the trash can, which is probably going to be promoted soon.

In a word, the two people have the same views.

Xie Ying's mother and grandmother both liked the book she wrote. She could still develop her career casually when she married in the future and would not be subject to any restraint.

Based on various factors, Xie Ying is really her best choice.

Excluding these objective factors, Xie Ying himself is also quite excellent. No matter how you marry him, it is Ye Jinxi's profit.

...

Ye Hongfei announced something at night.

He wanted to write to the emperor and go to work in a place.

Ye Changan was the first to object, "You have studied hard for ten years and finally made it to the Hanlin Academy. You have a bright future in the future. What kind of prefectures and county magistrates are you going to be?"

Not everyone can enter a place like the Hanlin Academy. Both the cabinet and the prime minister came from that place. Ye Hongyuan wanted a bright future, but he had to go to the place to earn his qualifications. Isn’t this just delaying his efforts?

Ye Hongfei said, "But it's because of the second princess?"

Not everyone can do the prince-consort. Even if the second princess has a humble biological mother, she will still be a child of a noble family. In the future, Ye Hongyuan really admires the second princess, and when he gets married, he will be a precious Bodhisattva with gold and jade, and their whole family must offer it well. Ye Hongyuan probably doesn't want such glory.

Ye Hongyuan said: "It's not all. Although Hanlin Academy is a prosperous road, since I have become an official, I should seek welfare for the people. So I want to go to the local area for a few years. I am a Jinshi, and at least we still have a marquis? As long as I make achievements in the local area, it will not be difficult for me to return to Beijing and join the Six Ministry in the future."

It makes sense for him to say that.

He was not an ordinary Jinshi, or the youngest top scholar in this dynasty. The emperor was so fond of their sugar workshop that he would never let Ye Hongyuan, a talented man, stay in the place for too long, and would be recalled to the capital for at most three years.

Ye Changan did not speak anymore, but looked at his wife beside him.

Zhao said: "Just make your own future, just make your own decisions. Your father and I naturally respect your opinions. But Jinxi has been engaged, and you are seventeen years old this year. I think I still have to settle your marriage this year, otherwise I will not feel at ease."

Ye Jinxi raised her eyebrows.

Ye Hongyuan went to work in the local area for at least one year or three years. If you get engaged now, the wedding date will not be determined, but this is not a big deal. It’s just her brother... She looked at Ye Hongyuan, and she felt that her brother was stupid in studying and had not yet learned anything.

Sure enough, Ye Hongyuan was stunned and smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry about this. Besides, if I go to the local area to work, I will have to leave soon. It's too late to get engaged now. Let's wait until I return to Beijing in the future."

Zhao frowned slightly.

Ye Jinxi saw that her brother didn't want to get married yet, so he said, "Mom, what my brother said makes sense. I'm only seventeen now, and even if I stayed in the place for three years and returned to Beijing, I'm only twenty. It's not too late to plan at that time."

The ladies from aristocratic families actually discuss marriage late, so they are not afraid that no one will want them anyway.

It was very early for fourteen years old, and there were no fewer people discussing marriage at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Moreover, Ye Hongyuan should not be able to stay for so long before returning to Beijing. At that time, his value doubled, and he chose others.

Zhao was silent for a while, but finally let go.

"You have grown up and have your own ideas. So let me go. When will you leave?"

"If the emperor agrees, he should leave the capital at the end of this month."

In the end, the emperor agreed and asked him to return to his hometown Cangzhou to serve as the prefect. What the Ye family did not expect was that Cheng Zhuo was doing well in his imperial guards and suddenly wanted to go to the border, and left Beijing on the same day as Ye Hongyuan.

After Ye Hongfei learned about this, he said to his sister: "This is more than just sadness. It's heartbreaking. He doesn't even want to stay in the capital. He just doesn't know what my future brother-in-law knows, and what his mood is."

Ye Jinxi: “…”
