Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 39

Ye Xizhao nodded, and then looked at Tang Hongxiao seriously, "But the person I hate the most now is you, what should I do?"

Obviously, Tang Hongxiao was hurt by these words, his complexion turned pale little by little, and the brilliance in his eyes faded little by little.His mood fluctuated sharply, but he was still able to control himself and talk as usual.He said to Ye Xizhao: "The majestic Mrs. Yongping Hou, those who don't like it, just let it go."

Ye Xizhao responded with a sneer.

Tang Hongxiao stood up and asked, "Any other orders?"

Ye Xizhao's voice was indifferent: "Don't disturb people's cleanliness anymore, don't make people despise you anymore. A dignified man of seven feet, don't always do things that women don't even bother to do."

Tang Hong smiled self-deprecatingly, "These words are so vicious. In your eyes, other people's deep affection is like nothing." He looked at Ye Xizhao puzzledly, and finally couldn't help asking, "You How did it become like this?"

Ye Xizhao smiled cruelly, "Some people's devotion will become a shame for a woman's life. You were originally a talented person in the capital—how did you become like this?"

Caught off guard, she was pushed to the brink of heartbreak.Tang Hong lowered his eyelids with a smile, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "Farewell!"

"No delivery."

Tang Hongxiao hurriedly left.

After a while, Ye Shuxuan walked out from the room.He looked towards the door with a dazed expression, still unable to recover from the shock.What Tang Hongxiao never denied was acquiescence.He has always been unwilling to believe that the most valued student would do such a thing, but at this moment, he has to face the facts.

Ye Xizhao got up and went to the guest seat.

Ye Shuxuan sat down dumbly.

Ye Xizhao knew that his goal had been achieved, so he turned to talk about Ye Xijin: "How does father plan to send my seventh sister down?"

Ye Shuxuan came back to his senses, "Your seventh sister... To tell you the truth, in fact, I had already chosen a marriage for her, and I wanted to betroth her to Tan Hualang, and I had already told their mother and daughter. You know, that Tan Hua Lang is also my protégé, marriage is just a matter of my words."

Ye Xizhao responded coldly, "So, I have to give her a congratulatory gift when she gets married?"

"Why are you in a hurry?" Ye Shuxuan smiled, "I want to tell you why your seventh sister dared to provoke you—Tanhualang's grandmother was seriously ill and was in a hurry to get married. Recently, she begged me to find a good school for him. Family."

"..." Ye Xizhao didn't speak, his face turned colder.

Ye Shuxuan said with a smile: "Now this marriage will not work out, how can I make such a ignorant promise to my favorite student, how can I disturb the family for nothing?"

Ye Xizhao's expression eased.

"Alas..." Ye Shuxuan felt too uncomfortable in his heart when he said some words, and sighed, "I value Tang Hongxiao the most among the men around me, and I have devoted as much effort to him as Xi Han. And he, afraid He has turned into a snake, even if I give him my heart, he will not be moved. People are so sophisticated, it really hurts people's hearts." After a pause, he said the thing that made him extremely unhappy, " He has read that collection of poems for a full half a day, but he has never revealed the disadvantages in it. Plus those unspeakable things—what kind of character is this! "

Ye Xizhao said in relief: "Everyone is the same, it is inevitable that there will be times when you misjudged someone." After speaking, he was slightly taken aback, this was clearly what Yu Shaoheng had said to her.

"Understood, I'm just bored." Ye Shuxuan said with a wry smile, "Just don't worry, I will pay attention to everything in the future, and as for your elder brother, I will also be vigilant. It's just that men, especially civil servants, don't show their thoughts on the surface , you still have to pretend to be flattering on weekdays, do you understand?"

Ye Xizhao nodded and smiled, "Understood."

Then, Ye Shuxuan talked about Ye Xijin's matter again, "Go and talk to your mother about this matter, let her decide, this is her job. I was confused before and interfered in such matters."

"Yeah." Ye Xizhao comforted before saying his words, "Don't get angry over irrelevant people."

Ye Shuxuan nodded and smiled, "Go, don't rush, I'll go back to the main room for dinner at noon."

Back in the main room, Ye Xizhao repeated Ye Shuxuan's words.

Meng Shi was amazed: "How did you move him?"

"I have my own way." Ye Xizhao sat next to Meng Shi and shook Meng Shi's hand, "Mother, don't you be angry with me?"

"Why, what you said is reasonable, I understand. It's just that if you want to change it, you have to do it slowly." Meng Shi patted Ye Xizhao's hand and thought for a moment, "The kind of family you want to find for your seventh sister Yes, yes. That man is a scholar, his family is poor, and he is pedantic. By chance, your elder brother helped him, but he didn't know what to do. Later, he came to your door to argue with your elder brother about trivial matters. Your elder brother was so angry that he jumped."

Ye Xizhao laughed when he heard that.

"Let's just tell him to get along with your seventh sister—you're a big man, even if he loses his temper again, his parents will make the decision for him and agree to it."

Ye Xizhao agreed with both hands, "Good!"

Mrs. Meng called Yao's mother, gave some instructions, and then ordered the third aunt and Ye Xijin to be called to the main room.

When San Yiniang and Ye Xijin entered the door, they took a few more glances at Ye Xizhao who was sitting on the side, and then saluted respectfully.

Mrs. Meng seated the two of them, and said with a smile: "Xi Jin has also reached the age of marriage, and I called you here today to talk about her marriage."

Ye Xijin glanced at Ye Xizhao subconsciously, because she remembered what Ye Xizhao said yesterday.

Ye Xizhao lowered his eyelids and drank tea, as if it had nothing to do with him.

The third aunt said respectfully: "Everything is up to Madam."

"That's all right." Mrs. Meng smiled with satisfaction, "The person I'm talking about is a literati, in my opinion, it's not bad, and the Prime Minister has no objection."

Ye Xijin's suspended heart finally returned to its original place.Father and third aunt mentioned several times that she would be betrothed to Tanhualang.Such a character is only slightly inferior to Tang Hongxiao.If you marry in the future, just live your life with peace of mind. As for Third Aunt, she will also be proud of her marriage, and her situation will be better than now.

Meng Shi asked Ye Xijin, "Nodding is not counting as shaking your head, Xijin, do you have any objections?"

Ye Xijin lowered his head, blushed, and twisted the handkerchief in his hand.

Meng Shi was very satisfied, "This is the agreement, that's the best, I will find a matchmaker tomorrow, and you marry him as soon as possible."

Ye Xizhao admired Meng Shi's ability to speak speciously.

Afterwards, the Meng family chatted with the third aunt and Ye Xijin, but Ye Xizhao didn't say a word.In Ye Xijin's eyes, it was just her feeling of resentment, and she sighed inwardly: The person you marry is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and the person who misses you is the unique talent in the capital. Compared with you, my marriage is not worth it at all. By the way, why bother.

After chatting for a long time, when it was about noon, Mother Yao came in and said: "Madam, I have checked carefully and found two silver notes of 200 taels." Then she sent the silver notes to Mrs. Meng.

Ye Xizhao raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, he could get 400 taels of silver for just one trip, which would be a pleasure for an ordinary person, especially one who is in such a tight financial situation as Ye Xijin.

Ye Xijin looked at Mother Yao suspiciously.

Meng's face turned cold suddenly, and her tone became indescribably indifferent: "Xi Jin, tell me, where did you get so much silver taels?"

Ye Xijin hurriedly stood up, "Mother..."

Only then did Third Aunt understand what was going on, she stood up and bowed her knees to salute, "Ma'am..."

Mrs. Meng said in a low voice: "You two have quite a few monthly records. Everyone in the house knows about San Yiniang's family background, so tell me, when did you live so well? 400 taels, how many years is your monthly record? "

Ye Xijin tried her best to turn her head, "Mother, those silver taels are... father..." At this point, I couldn't continue.Ye Xizhao was in the mansion, so using her father as a shield would not work at all, so if she couldn't keep everything, she would bring her father to ask him on the spot.

Meng patted the palm of the table, "What the hell is going on! Tell me! Did you steal the money from the public?!"

Ye Xijin was so anxious that she was about to cry, "No. Mother, my daughter was wronged, really not."

"Then tell me, where did you come from?"

How could Ye Xijin tell the truth.It was the money that Tang Hongxiao had accumulated to help her on weekdays.

"I'll take the bank note first, you must give me an explanation..."

Before Meng's words were finished, Ye Shuxuan walked in.

San Yiniang and Ye Xijin looked at him at the same time, with prayers in their eyes.

After taking his seat, Ye Shuxuan asked, "What's the matter?"

Meng's expression softened, "It's nothing serious, I'm talking about Xi Jin's marriage."

"Oh?" Ye Shuxuan looked a little curious, "Which family did you fall in love with?"

Meng said with a smile: "That man is a scholar, with a passable appearance, an upright temperament, and no fear of power."

"Ah?" Ye Xijin looked up in astonishment, his figure was precarious.

Third Auntie looked at Ye Shuxuan, with tears in her eyes, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Ye Shuxuan nodded and smiled at Mrs. Meng, "As long as you think there are merits. For my daughter's family, it is better to find someone with outstanding talent and appearance than an ordinary family."

Third Yiniang had no choice but to speak, she couldn't stand the fact, let alone Ye Shuxuan's appearance that he had completely forgotten what he said in the past.When she arrived in front of Ye Shuxuan, she plopped down on her knees, "Master Xiang, how can a lady from the Xiangfu commit herself to a scholar? What will others think when they see it? Master Xiang, this... this is really a loss of face...."

"Face?" Ye Shuxuan laughed because of the word, "Isn't it rare for Xiangfu to lose face?" Then he suddenly changed the subject, "Xi Jin's marriage should be decided by the aunt, and now I also nodded—— Is there room for you to speak here?"

"But... but Mr. Xiang clearly said..."

Ye Shuxuan sneered, "Go and ask Xi Jin what good deeds she has done, she is not worthy of someone with outstanding moral character. I cherish my talents and can't bear to deceive my younger brother."

Ye Xijin covered his face with his hands and sobbed.After a while, she realized something, turned around abruptly, and knelt down in front of Ye Xizhao, who had been watching the show indifferently, "Eldest sister..."
