Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

In front of the prime minister's mansion, Ye Chonghui squinted his eyes and looked at this senior brother. Luo Yan is only sixteen or seventeen years old. Girls at this age may be anxious to find a husband's family, but men are not in a hurry. Luo Yan has always been romantic and doesn't seem like a stable person.

He asked: "Does Brother Luo want to be my brother-in-law?"

Luo Yan blushed handsomely when he saw him, and quickly waved his hands and said, "How old am I? I'm in a hurry to find a wife. It's my elder brother. You also know that he will go to Jiangnan to work in the spring of next year, and he will have to experience it for two or three years. With achievements, he will be transferred back to Beijing. He is also a Cong fourth rank. He is young and has a bright future."

Seeing that Ye Chonghui frowned and remained silent, he said again: "Although my Luo family is not as noble as Ye's family, it is a scholarly family after all. You have seen my brother, he looks not bad, and he is thoughtful in his actions. I think he should be worthy of Ye's family." A good girl from our family."

Ye Chonghui said: "You follow me first."

Luo Yan also knew that it would be inappropriate to talk about marriage in front of the mansion, so he said hello and happily followed him in.

It was getting late, and there was a young servant waiting in front of the ink garden. Seeing Ye Chonghui, he said, "Eldest young master, master, wife, and young master are already waiting in the dining room."

He said: "Parents and mothers, please have dinner first, I have some things to deal with for the time being." As for why you didn't mention Ah Jin, that little greedy cat probably couldn't hold back her chopsticks long ago, so why would she wait for him.

Thinking of this, his face softened a little, and he led Luo Yan into the study.

A few girls lit the lamps and retreated in a polite manner.

Ye Chonghui sat down on his own, poured a cup of hot tea, and said, "Brother Luo, does your brother really want to marry my cousin?"

Luo Yan said: "Of course he is sincere, but...he still has some concerns. I wonder what your cousin looks like?"

Ye Chonghui sneered, and said: "I know what you are thinking. My cousin has everything she can do with her looks and talents. The reason why she came all the way to the capital is because there are so many talents here and there is room for them to choose from, not because of her ugly appearance. stay home."

"That's good." Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "In this way, my brother must be more sincere."

Ye Chonghui took a sip of his tea and said, "We've never met before, so why are we sincere?"

Luo Yan choked, sat opposite him, raised his hand to pour himself a cup of tea, but did not drink it, he put down the cup, and said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Chonghui, I know you are straightforward, so these I just want to tell you that it is really difficult to find a girl who is like you in our family. You can be more chic when you are young, and when you are a little older, you have to marry whoever your family asks you to marry. Even if the other party is a bitch like Princess Ancheng, for the prosperity of the family, we won't allow us to say no."

Ye Chonghui raised his eyes and said: "So, your elder brother wants to marry my cousin, just for the prosperity of your Luo family, without any real affection."

"It's just that there is no true love before marriage, but after getting along for a long time, there will always be. The so-called long-term love, isn't that the case."

Ye Chonghui said: "If you still don't have any after marriage, but you have to take concubines one after another, regardless of your original spouse?"

Luo Yan frowned and said: "It's common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Even if the husband and wife live in harmony, for the sake of the prosperity of the heirs, it is necessary to have a few concubines. You see, my father and mother have been married for so many years, and they have always respected each other as guests and are harmonious and beautiful." Well, there are three concubines in the backyard, but they can only be manipulated by others, who can shake the status of the main family. In this capital, apart from Prince Sheng and Ye Xiang, I am afraid that there is no third person who does not take concubines Men come."

"I understand what senior brother said, but it's a pity that I can't agree with it. Please go back, don't waste your words, I'm afraid this marriage will not work."

Luo Yan said anxiously: "Brother Ye!"

Ye Chonghui said: "Brother Luo misunderstood, this matter is not with me, but with my cousin. She has lived in a pure and innocent environment since she was a child. Join in the fun."

Luo Yan was taken aback when he heard the words, but smiled helplessly: "If that's the case, that Miss Ye can only be an old girl. After all, what this bustling imperial city lacks most is sincerity."

Ye Chonghui took another sip of tea, and said lightly, "There are always."

========

By the time we finished talking, it was already dark.Ye Chonghui personally sent Luo Yan out, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he met Ye Chongjin who came to deliver dinner.

The night was getting dark, but Ye Chonghui saw his younger brother at a glance, walked over and asked, "Why is Ah Jin here?"

Ye Chongjin pointed to the food box carried by the maid behind him, and said, "Your dinner is useless. My mother asked me to see what is the most important thing. It is so late that I can't even take care of the meal."

Ye Chonghui raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not an important matter, but it's just a little troublesome, and it's been dealt with properly. My brother bought you Xunxianglou snacks, and it's in the room."

Luo Yan stood aside with his chest folded and raised his eyebrows slightly. It was the first time he saw Ye Chonghui smile. Unexpectedly, this junior brother smiled much better than usual. His appearance was like an orchid in full bloom, elegant and noble, called People dare not offend.

When Ye Chongjin heard "Xunxianglou's dim sum", his eyes lit up suddenly, and he turned to go in to look for it, but he heard the young man beside him laughing, "Meet you again, brother Ajin."

Luo Yan's appearance is not bad, but standing next to Ye Chonghui, he looks a little too ordinary, but his smile is contagious and makes people look very comfortable. Ye Chongjin paused, nodded slightly to him, and said: " Hello brother Yan."

Ye Chonghui pursed his thin lips, frowned and said, "Ah Jin knows him?"

Ye Chongjin said: "I came to look for my brother last time, and I happened to meet. There are other brothers, well, let's not talk about it, I will go in and find some snacks." He ran into the house, forgetting that he was here For dinner.

As soon as he left, Luo Yan didn't dare to laugh anymore, and explained embarrassingly: "Brother Ye, I'm actually not familiar with your brother."

"A Jin called you Brother Yan, did you teach?"

Luo Yan was silent for a moment, then murmured: "It's me."

Ye Chonghui sneered, and a moment later, there was a splash in the lotus pond in front of the ink garden, and it was the young master of the Luo family who fell into the water.

Luo Yan was soaked in the pool water, embarrassed, but he couldn't get angry, because the young man in white on the shore was looking at him with his lips curled up, narrowing his long and narrow black eyes, under the bright and bright moon, his dusty face was covered with moonlight , like a dream.

Luo Yan suddenly picked up a pool of water and splashed it on his face, whispering: "I'm afraid I lost my mind and went crazy."

========

After dealing with Luo Yan, Ye Chonghui returned to the ink garden. Ye Chongjin had already found some snacks and started eating by himself. He sat aside, raised his hand to wipe the debris from the corner of the child's mouth, and said in a deep voice: "There are always people with malicious intentions. Ah Jin who wants to get close to brother."

Ye Chongjin didn't know what kind of nerves he was getting again, so he pushed the lunch box in front of him and said, "The food is going to be cold, eat it quickly, I can go back to work with my mother after I'm done."

Ye Chonghui responded, opened the food box and began to eat slowly.He wanted to stay with his brother for a while longer.

Ye Chongjin asked, "What is Luo Yan doing looking for brother at this time?" Although he didn't know the reason, his brother didn't seem to like him calling other people's brother.

Hearing the child's change of words, Ye Chonghui had a smile in his eyes, and said: "He has already finished his studies and cannot enter Tai'an Academy. If he wants to find me, he can only wait for me to finish school, so he arrives so late. He is for my cousin's sake." Here comes the marriage."

Ye Chongjin was a little surprised, and said, "He wants to marry cousin Ruoyao?"

Ye Chonghui shook his head and said: "It's not for him, it's for his elder brother. His elder brother Luo Wenqing passed the Jinshi examination the year before last, and now he has obtained an official position in the imperial court. He will be sent to Jiangnan in the spring of next year. It will take a few years." Come back, there is some future. I also know this person, so he is a pretty good person."

His elder brother's vision is extremely critical, even he said yes, it should be really good.Ye Chongjin said: "In that case, Luo Wenqing would be a good match."

But Ye Chonghui said: "It doesn't matter whether he is a good match or not. The important thing is what Cousin Ruoyao thinks. My mother found so many good families for her. There are many people who are more promising than Luo Wenqing among them. She looks down on them. , it’s all empty talk. This matter depends on the cousin’s own wishes.”

Ye Chongjin nodded and said, "It's better for my brother to see clearly." It's just easier said than done, then Ye Ruoyao is afraid that she already has a sweetheart, so how can she change her mind so easily, in his opinion, tying her to a sedan chair is the best idea.

The two were talking, but it was Xia He who broke in, she was not used to the rules in Funing Courtyard, so she said directly: "Little master, His Royal Highness sent someone to send a bunch of stones, you go and have a look. "

"Stone?" Ye Chongjin stuffed the remaining half of mung bean cake into his mouth, and said vaguely, "What kind of rare stone is it? Could it be made of gold?"

What Gu Chen sent would definitely not be ordinary things.

Xia He said: "I heard people say that the stone was dug up from the bottom of the deep pool. It is very cool, and it can be placed in the house to escape the heat. The servants touched it. It is indeed cold and warm, but it is not very cold. My little master. Will definitely like it."

Ye Chongjin was taken aback for a moment, remembering that he complained to Gu Chen about Kuxia a few days ago, Gu Chen said that he came to find a way, but it really made him think of it.He said to Ye Chonghui: "Brother, I'll go back and have a look, you remember to finish your dinner, don't worry your mother."

Speaking of running out with Xia He, Ye Chonghui looked at the child's slightly hurried footsteps, but he couldn't take a bite. The stones in the cold pool have been soaked in ice water all year round. Although they are cool, they are not as cold as ice. It is indeed an excellent idea to be cold to the bone marrow.

That Gu Chen always finds ways to make things difficult for him.
