The group pets the little fisherman, she has a lot of happy events

"If you want to get ahead in a male-dominated country, you have to rely on your true abilities."

Lin Jingcheng secretly guessed, with a sarcastic look in his eyes: "He just wanted to gain power and wealth by getting married. As soon as the sick man dies, he will probably be kicked out."

I have to say that the prince has revealed the truth.

Ye Mingjie played a scheming trick and married an official lady who had been frail and sick since childhood.

However, the young lady was not very lucky, and the couple passed away within a year of their marriage.

The two had no children. The young lady's parents were devastated by the loss of their beloved daughter and vented all their resentment on him.

Ye Mingjie was accused of being a wife-suppressant and was kicked out of the house.

Not only did he fail to enjoy the glory and wealth, but he ended up being despised by everyone.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, he had no power, no hope of scientific examination, and was desperate. He lost all his savings and could only rely on begging for a living.

"Do not commit suicide."

Ye Xiuyan sighed quietly, feeling a little sad for Mrs. Ye who had been dead for many years.

If the old lady were still alive and knew that her most cherished grandson had met this end, I wonder how she would feel.

"Want to meet him?"

Seeing that she was in a daze, Lin Jingcheng asked tentatively.

"No."

Ye Xiuyan recovered from her past memories and shook her head sadly.

"Let's go then."

Lin Jingcheng hugged his beloved wife and said thoughtfully and tenderly: "There is no need for such a person to affect our good mood."

"it is good."

Ye Xiuyan turned around lightly, not wanting to have anything to do with Ye Mingjie anymore.

A pair of lovers left together, walked down the steps from the other side of the stone arch bridge, and disappeared into the vast night.

~Three months later.

Lancang Mountains, where the southwest border of Fengqi meets the Western Jin Dynasty, Jianqiao Village.

Towering mountains, bamboo forests swaying in the wind, huts made of green bamboo, a deep pool with a few bamboo leaves floating in the quiet blue water, it is quiet and peaceful.

Ye Xiuyan was leaning against the window sorting herbs. She was dressed in a simple and elegant Tsing Yi. Her eyebrows were picturesque, her skin was like cream, and her eyes as clear as pearls were slightly narrowed, revealing intelligence and wisdom that was different from that of a farm girl.

"Sister Yan, great joy, great joy."

A thin and winding figure ran up the winding and deep path outside the bamboo forest. A little girl of eight or nine years old was carrying a bamboo basket on her back, her little black and red face stained with dirt was filled with indescribable excitement.

happy event?

What joy can there be in a remote mountainous area?

When Ye Xiuyan heard the news, she frowned slightly and smiled humorously.

"Ouch."

The little girl ran so fast that when she came to the slippery pool, her feet gave way and her body fell forward involuntarily.

"Be careful."

Seeing that she was about to fall into the pool, Ye Xiuyan tensed up, and her slender figure floated out of the window like blue smoke. She grabbed the collar of the girl before she entered the water, blocking her forward body, and her eyes fell on her crooked right foot. , his eyes showed concern: "Is your foot twisted?
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, Sister Yan is so awesome."

The little girl took advantage of the situation to stand firm, embarrassedly ruffled her hair, raised her little face, her big black grape-like eyes were full of adoring little stars.

"What happy event makes you so happy?"

Ye Xiuyan smiled, loosened her collar and turned back to the house.

"The emperor chooses his concubine. The triennial draft has begun. Girls of the right age with both ability and political integrity can participate. The imperial list is posted at the gate of the city tower. My father saw it when he went to town to sell firewood."

The little girl had an excited look on her face and followed her with a bamboo basket on her back, chattering non-stop like a bouncing bean.
