MTL - After Time Travel, I Married the Heroine and Her Brother-Chapter 48

After a few days, Ye Geng clearly felt that all his colleagues who had been avoiding him before were actively talking to him enthusiastically, and even Master Liu, who had the most high-spirited eyes, also congratulated him, chatting with him and laughing.

A few days ago, he was avoided by everyone.

People are snobbish, especially in officialdom.

The news of the reward from the palace to the Ye family came out, Master Liu took the initiative to allow him to come down early, and halfway through the journey, he learned that the Prince Wen personally gave the dowry.

Walking in a hurry, he vaguely saw the sedan chair of Prince Wen in front of him, and felt nervous for no reason, not knowing what kind of attitude he should have for the prince who was about to become his son-in-law.

While hesitating, the person stood still.

After thinking about it again, he avoided and saluted as in the past.

The sedan chair approached, instead of going straight past as before, it stopped. A slender hand like jade lifted the sedan chair curtain, and then saw the noble county prince walking down.

Ye Geng's heart tightened, and he stepped forward to salute again.

Wen Yu didn't accept the gift as usual, but avoided it a little and returned the gift. Such a move really made Ye Geng feel flattered.

What is the status of this Prince Wen. His Majesty's grace favors him, and it seems that he does not need to salute when he is allowed to see the prince. He hurriedly turned his body sideways, for fear of receiving this gift.

Judging from the direction the sedan chair came from, it seemed to be Nancheng.

Ye Geng wondered anxiously, could it be that the Duke of Wen just returned from his home after delivering the dowry?

"The lower official has met Mr. Wen."

"Master Ye."

"Your Excellency Wen is fair and upright, and I have not yet thanked you for your kindness in redressing my grievances."

"Master Ye, you don't need to be too polite. Yu Gong, that's my duty. Yu private, we will be a family."

When Ye Geng heard the words, he felt even more flattered.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two went their separate ways.

He hid aside again, watching the sedan chair symbolizing the rich and powerful go away. His brows were slightly frowned, Junwang Cai Wen seemed to have just looked at him just before he got on the sedan chair, and his eyes were a bit weird.

Thinking all the way, guessing repeatedly, all came to nothing.

As soon as he entered the house, he was immediately stunned by the sight in front of him.

The courtyard was full of betrothal gifts, and several maids carried them up and down, and the mother also participated in it. What surprised him even more was that his second daughter, who had always been weak, easily carried a large box on her shoulders and held another large box in her hand. Even if he had known that his second daughter's strength was amazing, he was still quite shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

The small yard was full of excitement, and even the youngest son, humming and chirping, followed his mother to help. Such a lively scene resembles what I remember when I was working with my parents when I was a child. His complicated emotions gradually dissipated, and he rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to take what was in his mother's hand.

By the time all the betrothal gifts were collected into the treasury, it was already dark.

Ye Ping came out of the kitchen, covered in human fireworks.

Today she cooks by herself, and the dinner is extremely sumptuous, cooking a total of twelve dishes. If Ye Zheng didn't stop her, she would have slaughtered the two sheep that Wen Ruqin gave her.

The whole family sat around a table, Ye Mu started, from the south of the sky to the north of the earth, and from outside Beijing to the center of Beijing. During the banquet, laughter continued, and the whole family was beaming with joy.

After dinner, Ye Geng called Ye Ping to stop.

After that night, when her father returned home, Ye Ping knew that there would be a conversation between father and daughter.

The father and daughter stood under the peach tree, the shadow of the tree swaying left and right in the light, like Ji Ye Geng's state of mind at this time.

"Pingniang, are you happy?"

Ye Ping thought about many possibilities, but she never thought that this was the first question her father asked.

"Nature is happy."

Everyone was deceived by her, thinking that she was infatuated with Wen Yu. How can you not be happy now that your wish has been fulfilled?

Ye Geng looked at the daughter in front of him, this was his eldest daughter. He remembers how he felt when he first became a father, and the excitement and joy are beyond words. Looking at a pair of powder-like daughters, how smug he was at that time.

After ten years of cold windows, no one asked, and after becoming famous, he returned to the dust.

If it wasn't for Pingniang, he would have been convicted already. If he is convicted, the whole family will have nothing to rely on. Unexpectedly, he has been an official for many years, and he thought he would stick to his heart and work hard, but in the end he was so useless.

"It's good to be happy."

Everyone in the world said that his Pingniang was blessed, but how could it be so easy for a wealthy family to gain a foothold? What a precious dowry the Prince Wen sent, and how shabby the dowry their Ye family could get. A woman has no mother to rely on, and no dowry to accompany her, so she is naturally angry everywhere in her husband's house.

However, this is a marriage bestowed by the emperor, so there should be no objection.

If Pingniang was happy, he didn't feel so uncomfortable. That Prince Wen was able to get rid of Zhao Yuande for Pingniang and rescue him from prison, presumably he would not reject the marriage offer.

Thousands of thoughts, finally turned into a sigh.

"Your temperament is exactly the same as your father's."

Mother Ye's words broke the heavy atmosphere between father and daughter.

The father and daughter looked together, but seeing Ye Ting standing not far away supporting Ye Mu, Ye Mu looked a bit disgusted. This son followed her in appearance and his father in temperament, and he didn't take advantage of either side.

"Don't you understand that King Wen Jun can come to deliver the dowry in person?"

"...The prince of the county is very polite."

"Etiquette?" Ye Mu snorted from her nostrils, this son is like his father, but not as good as his father. His father was pedantic in reading, but he wasn't that pedantic in private. "When will the rich and powerful families and ordinary small families like me be so polite?"

"this…"

"I think you have become more and more inflexible after you have been an official. If Prince Wen is really dissatisfied with the marriage and looks down on our Pingniang, why would he condescend to give the dowry in person?"

Ye Ping wanted to refute, but she opened her mouth and said nothing. If the family members think that Wen Yu likes her, it may not be a bad thing.

Ye Geng was speechless, still unable to believe it.

The majestic county king, nephew of the emperor, son of the eldest princess, grandson of the Duke's mansion, would really like their Pingniang? Even though he selfishly thinks that his daughter is very good, but those words and deeds are considered indecent in the eyes of the world, how can he make the king of the county fall in love with him.

Ye Mu saw that he hadn't reacted yet, and said again: "If you don't tell me, after His Majesty bestowed the marriage, the county king first brought down that Mr. Zhao, and then rescued you from prison. Is it because he has nothing to do?" , or because he appreciates you?"

Ye Geng's face was flushed red by his mother's words, and he thought to himself that he was already a father, so why did his mother speak so casually?

Prince Wen has never had any contact with him, so how could he appreciate him.

"The identity of the county king is unlikely..."

"How is it impossible?" Mother Ye's voice was a lot higher because of her anger. "When you married Qingniang, was it because of the Wang family or because of Qingniang?"

"Of course it's because of Qing Niang."

He knows this better than anyone else, if he hadn't been interested in Qingniang, he would not have planned to marry the aristocratic family.

"That's right, then you said that the county king does not object to the marriage, what is he trying to do?"

Ye Geng couldn't answer, if he could guess His Majesty's thoughts and King Wen's intentions, how could he be so sad. As a father, how could he not hope for his daughter's well-being. What his mother said, he hoped to be true more than anyone else. He was uncertain repeatedly, and deep down he actually wanted others to convince him with facts.

At this time, a faint sentence floated from the corner, "The king of the county is Miss Tuda who came from a humble background, Miss Tuda has **** and no brains."

Ye Ping heard Sanxi's voice and looked into the corner.

Sanxi ran around like a rabbit, but he was gone.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and Mother Ye coughed, "Okay, let's rest early. The wedding will be on the sixth day of next month, and there are too many things to prepare."

"Mother." Ye Geng obviously had something to say.

Mother Ye waved her hand, "Don't call me mother, I really want to give birth to a son like you who is a lump of Yulin. I am upset when I see you, so go back to the house."

The son was not born in her heart, and it would be fine if her appearance followed her husband's, or her personality followed hers, she could choose one or the other, and she wouldn't be so hard-pressed.

Being disgusted by his mother in front of his daughter, Ye Geng's expression was a little uneasy. His heart was so heavy, why didn't his mother and Pingniang take it seriously?

Could it be that he was wrong?

Is Prince Wen really just because of Pingniang?

Mother Ye cast a disgusted look at her son who was standing there, and waved to her eldest granddaughter. It was still the two granddaughters who looked just as she wanted, both of whom looked like their grandfather. Looking at the two little beauties on the left and the right, she became happier the more she looked at them.

"Don't pay attention to your father. I think he has become more and more boring in the Imperial College these years. He is not as good as your grandfather. I remember that when I married into the Ye family, people in Qingshui Town said that I was born in a reckless family and I was not worthy of Juren. Master, your grandfather never paid any attention to these rumors. In private, when we get along as husband and wife, he is very accommodating to my temper."

Ye Ping really wants to say that Wen Yu is not pedantic, but he is the number one criminal officer in the world, a real cold-blooded and ruthless person, and he has lived two lifetimes. When the words came to his lips, he remembered the sudden entanglement of lips and teeth that day, and his blood suddenly surged.

Thinking about being able to meet each other frankly after getting married, the son of God who was originally aloof will fall into the world of mortals with her, and there is a sense of heat and anticipation in his heart for no reason.

Food and sex, she is not exempt from vulgarity.

Seeing that the eldest granddaughter blushed and said nothing, Mother Ye's eyes were filled with relief.

"Brother Yu has an outstanding appearance, and he should wear bright clothes. Regardless of red, green, yellow, or purple, you can't suppress his celestial appearance. To get this gentleman, let alone a noble status, he is a mountain. Villagers, there are beautiful things to enjoy every day and plenty of water to drink."

Ye Ping tsk-tsk to herself, it turned out that her grandmother's face is so controlled, to the point where she is full of water and beautiful. She also loves beauty and is very satisfied with Wen Yu's appearance, but it seems that she has not reached this level.

Before she could say anything, Mother Ye sighed.

"It's a pity your grandfather left so early."

These words should be sad, but at this moment it sounds a little ridiculous.

Mother Ye turned her head and looked at her eldest granddaughter with loving eyes.

"My Pingniang is a blessed person, and she will be a loving husband and wife in the future."

The wishes of the elders can only be fulfilled by future generations.

The moon rises and the stars appear, and people have no sleep.

After the grandparents went back to their rooms, Ye Ping found the fat girl in her room who pretended nothing happened. The fat girl pretended to be arranging clothes, and it took a long time to fold one.

She deliberately didn't look at it, and sat in front of the dressing table.

Sanxi looked carefully at her own girl, seeing that she didn't seem angry, so she came over to serve her with a shy face. First, make a bun for the master, and then comb it smoothly.

Ye Ping looked at herself in the mirror, her face was like a lotus, and her bright eyes were like water. The purity is mixed with beauty, if a man sees this beauty, he will definitely change his mind.

She slowly stroked her lips, her cheeks flushed.

Wen Yu took the initiative to kiss her that night, could it be that he was fascinated by her beauty?

"The girl is so pretty." Sanxi admired sincerely, her eyes glazed over.

"Remember to change your words after that day. The king of the county didn't think that I came from a humble background, nor did he think that I was big and brainless. He thought that I was as beautiful as a flower and as beautiful as a flower, can you remember?"

Sanxi seemed to be bewitched, and murmured, "Your servant will remember."

…

In the main house, Mrs. Ye dug out all the family assets, and the more she counted, the more flustered she became. Counting everything, all the odds and zeros added up, including the money Pingniang asked for from Wang's family, and the money Pingniang earned from selling facial paste recently, the total was less than one thousand taels.

One thousand taels of silver is indeed a lot for a small family, but Pingniang is going to marry the Princess House. For all the women who marry into this class of family, which one is not ten miles red makeup is envied by everyone.

The joy of giving the marriage and the excitement of seeing those dowries all turned into melancholy at this time. Knowing that even with all the family wealth involved, Pingniang's dowry is also extremely shabby.

Seeing her husband come in, she said something in a low voice.

Ye Geng folded his hands behind his back, frowning into a Sichuan character.

"Leave half of it."

There are also Ting Niang and Brother Lian and Brother Zheng.

Ye Shi sighed and put away the things.

…

In the side room, Ye Ping was tossing and turning on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

The appearance of those gold, silver and jade objects kept flashing in front of her eyes. She admitted that she had shallow eyesight and had never seen much of the world. It is inevitable that this poor man will become rich.

She couldn't sleep at all, she put on her clothes and got up.

Without waking Sanxi, who was soundly asleep, she held the lamp and went to the dowry warehouse by herself. One by one the boxes were opened, the luster of gold and silver was particularly eye-catching in the lights, and the color of the silk was also a little brighter.

These are all hers!

She wanted to laugh, she wanted to cheer.

Gold cups and silver cups, jade cabbage and jade Ruyi, everything makes people love it. If these treasures were exchanged for silver, it would definitely make her hands cramp from counting.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a change outside the window.

Her mind shuddered, and countless possibilities flashed through. He calmly locked all the boxes, and then extinguished the candle. After adapting to the light, he slowly opened the door a crack.

There was no one outside, it was silent.

Maybe it's the wind.

she thinks.

Lock the door and leave.

As soon as he entered his room, he felt an unusual atmosphere. Something on the table reflected the luster of cold metal in the night, and it looked like a knife in shape.

Startled, she touched it.

As soon as she touched the pattern of the knife, she calmed down.

It is Yulong Dao.

Wen Yu is here!

They are already a fiancée, what does it mean that this person gave away a knife in the middle of the night? Could it be that she was dissatisfied with the marriage offer and could not resist the order, and hoped that she would have self-knowledge and end everything with death.

asshole!

During the day, she pretended to be a grandson to curry favor with her grandmother, but at night she turned her face and refused to recognize anyone. Is it easy for her to work hard to live until now? Why should she commit suicide?

"You **** surnamed Wen!"

She slapped her palm on the table, and didn't want to slap on a box, because she used too much force and couldn't retract the force in time, which made her wrist numb and almost shed tears.

Suddenly, the room was brightly lit.

In front of the candlestick, the person standing was not Wen Yu, who else could it be.

The black clothes are like ink, like jade and jade.

That curse was so clear in the night that she couldn't deny it at all. She shook her shocked hand, looked at the person in front of her with tears, and cried out with a "wow".

"I... I thought you gave me the knife because you wanted me to kill myself... Huh... I don't want to die, I finally want to marry you. Even if it's just being your wife for a day, I will be satisfied..."

Who said let her die!

"No one let you die."

"Then...then why did you send the knife?" She bit her lip, her black hair was scattered, her little face was pale, with tears hanging on her face, she looked as pitiful as she could be.

It's too scary for a man to give his fiancee a knife in the middle of the night. Since it wasn't for her life, why did she send the knife?

Threatening people with knives at every turn, what kind of wife do you want to marry!

"This is a bride price."

What a dowry!

Ye Ping's eyes fell on the box that almost broke her hand, what's in it? It won't be something bloody, such as the head of Mr. Zhao.

She took a few steps back in fright, Wen Yu could do such a thing.

"Then... what's in here?" She pointed to the box and asked, her pupils trembling.

Wen Yu came over step by step, and opened the box with his slender hands. Ye Ping was so frightened that she immediately covered her eyes, but spread **** apart without fear of death.

Inside the box was full of things like banknotes.

"It's a dowry."

"For me?"

Ye Ping stepped forward with a suspicious face.

Wen Yu let out a "hmm".

Except for the large-denomination banknotes in the box, the rest are some land deeds. Rao Ye Ping had just seen the arrogance of the princes and nobles not long ago, but when he saw these things suddenly, he still couldn't recover for a long time.

So he came here in the middle of the night to give her a dowry.

In this way, she was confused.

Is there such a relationship between them?

To accept or not to accept?

Thinking this way in my heart, I put my hands on the box. "In this case, the young girl accepted it. It's not that the young girl has shallow eyelids, but that the little girl's family background is poor, and she really can't get a decent dowry. The little girl is not afraid of being ridiculed by the world, lest it damage the prestige of the county king. The county king can rest assured. , the things are temporarily placed here with the little girl, and they will be returned in full when the little girl marries into the princess mansion."

Wen Yu's eyes sank, "No need."

Ye Ping looked up in surprise, what does it mean?

"Since it is your dowry, it is your private property."

Is there such a good thing?

Ye Ping became excited.

"...Your Majesty, what you said is true? My daughter is so touched, you are such a good person. Don't worry, my daughter will try her best to take care of your back house in the future, so that you will not have any worries."

"It's just a thing outside of the body."

Sure enough, he is a top rich man who has lived for two lifetimes, so much money is nothing in his eyes.

"For the king, these are things behind him. But for the young girl, this is the heart of the king. My little girl... my little girl really likes the king..."

I like the way you treat money like dung.

Wen Yu's eyes were dark, he couldn't see that the little girl was pretending. Now that you have installed it, then keep pretending like this, otherwise...

Ye Ping felt a chill and shivered unconsciously.

The cold air was approaching, and a sense of oppression shrouded it.

"what do you like about me?"

Huh?

this problem…

"As long as she is the king of the county, my daughter likes everything."

"Including my old age?"

It turned out to be waiting for her here.

"A man with forty-one flowers, my daughter thinks that the king is old. Even if the king is white-haired, he is still a fairy in my eyes. My daughter not only likes the young face of the king, but also likes your vicissitudes and calmness after years. I'm afraid the king doesn't know, since the decree of bestowing the marriage came down, the little girl is so happy that she can't sleep every night, and she wakes up with laughter several times in her dreams." As she said, she slowly approached Wen Yu. "Jun Wang, can my daughter give you a hug?"

Sensing that the other party has no intention of resisting, she boldly put her arms around that thin waist, and buried her head in the other party's arms as if death was at home, her breath was full of cold breath.

In an instant, she was enlightened, as if she had suddenly found the way to get along with husband and wife in the future.

It turns out that this old swan eats soft but not hard.
