step by step

Chapter 321
On this day, the sky is clear and the clouds are light, and the sun is shining brightly, which suits the atmosphere of the Duke's Mansion full of flowers.

Ye Zhaoyan came to visit and received all the courtesy.

There is no other reason. In the eyes of others, just seeing Ye Wenxuan and King Qing going south, one can know that the Ye family is still standing, not the declining days as rumored.

Ye Zhaoyan knew that Cheng Guogong was not a follower of power, but everyone in his house was not.

Hearing that Cheng Yuyan hadn't met Chen Jingqiu, Ye Zhaoyan couldn't help being a little surprised, "Isn't it still undecided? Why do you refuse like this?"

"Oh, avoid suspicion!"

"What is there to avoid suspicion?"

Ye Zhaoyan was holding a post on the table in his hand, rubbing back and forth the gilded bump on it.

This kind of post is received every year by young women from aristocratic families. On the surface, it is a communication between the female relatives, but in fact there is an extra layer of secretly looking at each other. If there is any side that you don't like, you can express your opinion tactfully as soon as possible. .

This method has been adopted by many high-ranking and rigorous families.

The Chen family's post had been handed over many times, but before the Duke's wife Yan Shi opened her mouth, Cheng Yuyan refused it all over again.

The letter in front of me was sent by the aunt of the two young masters of the Chen family, that is, Chen's sister, the king of Zhennan, and said it was an invitation to enjoy flowers in the garden.

According to Cheng Yuyan's description, compared to the previous invitation, this one has been much more subtle and more begging.

"I'm worried." Cheng Yuyan hesitated, as if she was worried about something. "I always feel that coming to the door like this will make Mr. Chen feel bad."

Ye Zhaoyan smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Yuyan bit her lip: "Although he looks gentle on the surface, he is actually alienated. I am afraid that if I come in rashly, he will think I am abrupt."

"How do you know that he is alienated on the surface? Could it be that you have seen him before?" Ye Zhaoyan asked curiously.

"Not really." Cheng Yuyan hesitated for a moment before telling the truth, "Auntie said, since Wei Yanhou came to propose marriage first, she should have accepted the invitation of the Hou Mansion before making plans. Later, her father took a fancy to the Chen family, so she give up."

"The elder of your aunt Yan's family?" Ye Zhaoyan frowned, she didn't remember this person in the part about getting married.

Cheng Yuyan nodded, "Half a month ago, I passed by Fuxiang Temple with my aunt. I saw him get off the carriage from a distance. He didn't smile at all. He looked like a very serious person. My aunt told me that he was so serious. If you come to the door early, I'm afraid it will leave a bad impression on him."

Ye Zhaoyan thought about it, and comforted him: "You, you always like to think blindly. You think this way, maybe it's because of his temperament. It's better to see it with your own eyes to understand it than to speculate."

"Yeah." Cheng Yuyan nodded, then looked up after a moment of silence, "My aunt is also worried, I'm a girl who hasn't left the court."

"What are you afraid of? The Chen family doesn't dare to do anything to you. If you're worried, I'll just go with you. Don't worry. I think the weather is just right today, so why don't you bring some gifts in return and thank you? "Hearing what she said, Ye Zhaoyan felt that there was something strange about it.

What's more, she originally hoped that Cheng Yuyan could meet Chen Jingqiu with her own eyes, maybe after seeing Chen Jingqiu, there will be some turning points, which is unknown.

Previously, she also wanted to confirm Cheng Yuyan's intentions before making any plans.After thinking about it for the past few days, she still couldn't let go of her marriage.

The move was also somewhat prescient.In the memory of her previous life, she only knew that the king of Zhennan had not made a big mistake and was in harmony with all the great families.When it fell, no one reached out.After all, they don't know the character of this lineage. Even if Cheng Guogong is in front of him, they still can't know the foresight.

"Let's talk about it later." Cheng Yuyan was not very interested, "My parents are not in the house today, so I will talk to them in detail next time."

Ye Zhaoyan smiled and didn't rush to speak, "Since you don't want to, we won't force you."

At the end, I couldn't help but sighed, "Don't blame me for being troublesome, I'm just worried that you don't know much, if there is something unclear, you will suffer a dark loss"

The loneliness and worry that could not be concealed in his tone seemed to be wronged by ignorance of good people.

"Hey! If you don't force it, how can you force it?" Cheng Yuyan changed her mind in a hurry, and quickly took her arm, "I didn't make up my mind just yet! Now that I have you to accompany me to strengthen my courage, I will go all out! "

With her deceitful appearance, Ye Zhaoyan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The appearance of her strong man cutting off his wrist made Ye Zhaoyan laugh again, "Okay, okay, today I will rely on Miss Cheng to lead me to see the elegance of the Zhennan Palace."

"My aunt is at the house, you can accompany me to talk to her. When my parents are away, she is the one who takes care of me, so I can't run away quietly."

In the side hall of the married family, a gorgeously dressed woman was leisurely looking at the long gift list with a slightly haughty expression.

Ye Zhaoyan followed Cheng Yuyan to the courtyard when he saw boxes and cages piled up to the eaves from a distance, and said with a smile, "Could it be that the betrothal gifts have been carried to the mansion?"

Cheng Yuyan was a little embarrassed: "You like to talk nonsense, but it's just some gifts. It will be A Niang's birthday in a few days, and the two families gave it away."

Ye Zhaoyan nodded, expressing his understanding: "Yes, birthday is a big event."

While talking, the two came hand in hand, and the servant at the door reported that someone had come to visit.

When the woman raised her eyes, she saw a tall and slender girl with heroic eyebrows and eyes approaching beside Cheng Yuyan, with clear eyes and looking forward, revealing a heroic and heroic posture, which made people dare not look at her closely.

She couldn't help narrowing her phoenix eyes slightly, thinking to herself that this person was an extraordinary person, but she seemed to have mentioned it recently and immediately showed a kind and gentle smile: "Come in and sit down."

The attitude is affectionate, as if the relationship between the two is very good.

Cheng Yuyan quickly introduced: "Auntie, this is Miss Ye Family."

Ye Zhaoyan smiled gently and said, "Mrs. Yan."

Yan hurriedly ordered her maid to serve tea, and said with a smile, "I heard Yuyan mention you for a long time, but I haven't seen you, and today I finally got my wish, it's really a blessing."

Ye Zhaoyan bowed slightly, "Come to disturb me, madam, don't blame me."

"Where is it, you are so humble, it makes me uneasy." Yan Shi sat on the main seat, carefully looked at the young girl in front of her, and always felt that there was an indescribable smell between her brows.

Her eyes wandered over the two of them, and she felt more and more that this daughter of the Ye family was not simple. Although Cheng Yuyan was very good at diplomacy, she seldom brought women from his house to her door.

It can be seen that this woman is extraordinary in her heart.

Ye Zhaoyan had business in mind, and didn't want to delay too long, so he gave Cheng Yuyan a wink after a few words of pleasantries.

"Auntie, I decided to check out Madam Chen's post today to see the flower banquet." Cheng Yuyan was a little embarrassed. "I'll also bring back some of your favorite Chunlan."

Ye Zhaoyan didn't wait for her reaction, and immediately said, "Ma'am, today I am here to accompany Yuyan to give gifts."

Oh?Yan Shi was surprised.Cheng Yuyan is a child who knows the rules very well. Under normal circumstances, she would not take the initiative to bring up such a thing, let alone visit other mansions.

She said seriously: "Is this your idea? Or her idea?" Her tone was a little harsh.

　Thank you all for your votes.The author is going to be a volunteer again, and I will update it when I have time in these three days.If you are impatient, you can save and watch.
