My son sleeps lightly

Early in the morning, the gate of Ye Mansion was bustling with unusual activity.

Xue Rui exhaled, and behind him was a long line of people, each carrying a big box filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

Their group occupied almost half of the street, and everyone who passed the street couldn't help but look sideways. What is the background of the son-in-law picked by the Ye family.

Steward Ye had never seen anything in the world, but he was shocked when he saw this endless dowry.

He bowed to Xue Rui, "Please come in."

Xue Rui nodded, followed him, went through the lines Xiao Chong taught him over and over in his mind, and entered the main hall of Ye's house.

Everyone in the Ye family sat in the hall except Ye Xi, looking at him with a smile, only Ye Liang, a child, was lying on his mother's lap, snoring and fell asleep, but no one cared about him.

Xue Rui's etiquette is comprehensive, saluting to everyone, and then said to Ye Jin'an, "My son asked me to send these first, and the rest will be delivered in a month."

"How much is this? Tens of thousands of taels." Ye Lan raised her legs and licked melon seeds in her mouth, with a nonchalant look, "How many are there in the back?"

Ye Cang complained to him a little bit, "I will count the gift list myself, so don't worry about it."

Ye Lan curled her lips. He also felt that he had acted a little too much, especially since the gift list was drawn up by himself, and it felt like there was no money here.

Xue Rui smiled and relieved a little embarrassment.

Mrs. Ye asked, "We are very satisfied with the family background of Mr. Xue, but he is too busy. He has never shown his face from kissing to meeting. How do we know his appearance and character?" ?”

Xue Rui had been prepared for a long time, clapped his palms, and the two servants brought in a long scroll painting together, and opened it in front of everyone.

In the painting, there is a handsome young man with a book in his hand and a sword in his hand. His brows and eyes are full of heroism, but he also reveals a little childishness, especially his smile, which is really full of youthful flavor.

Ye Lan looked at it, always feeling familiar.

Ye Jinan asked first, "Is this painter Fusi from the Central Plains?"

Xue Rui nodded, "The master is well-informed, and it was Fu Si's handwriting."

He also explained, "Mr. Fu Si is a great painter. He usually has a lot of eccentricities. One of them is that he only paints beauties. This painting is that he was invited to my house as a guest. He saw my young master practicing swords in the courtyard, so he prepared it. Paper, pen and paint, painted the scene exactly."

Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Jin'an suspiciously, Ye Jin'an nodded, dispelling her doubts, "That's right, Fu Si was born rich and honored, he doesn't care about money at all, and he loves beauties the most in his life, men and women are not limited, The kind who can’t walk when they see a beautiful woman.”

Mrs. Ye showed a disgusted expression, "This kind of weird person."

Ye Cang's wife looked at her mother-in-law and couldn't help laughing, "Mother, don't worry about being weird, at least it shows that the young master in this painting is really handsome."

Mrs. Ye smacked her lips, "Then why would such a handsome young man come to propose marriage to Xi'er with a rich family?"

Ye Lan felt awkward hearing this, "Mother, you mean that Xi'er is not good enough."

Mrs. Ye glared at him, and Ye Lan quickly covered her mouth.

Xue Rui presented another letter, "I don't know Ma'am, but our son and Miss Ye have met before."

Mrs. Ye opened the letter. If the words were as good as the person's words, then this young man is indeed very handsome.

It is written in this letter that the son of the Xue family was traveling in Luobei City a year ago. When he passed by the busy market, he saw Ye Xi selling goods in his iron shop, so he went up to him and asked him a lot about ironware. He picked up the dagger and walked away.

Ye Xi's kindness and patience really moved the young man so much that he still missed him when he returned home, so he got all the energy out of it and invited someone to propose marriage.

"Kindness and patience?" Mrs. Ye read the letter and was still chewing on these two words. No matter how she thought about it, she seemed to have nothing to do with the young lady at home.

"You are really Ye Xi's mother," Ye Lan snorted, "Ye Xi's performance in the store is indeed good, but that's her in front of outsiders. Can your son really bear her true face?"

"My son said that being able to treat strangers so patiently shows that the lady is gentle in nature. Such a person can't be bad."

These words made all the Ye family members present laugh unanimously, and they were full of affection for this young master Xue.

"Send this portrait to Miss." Mrs. Ye waved her hand, and two servants of the Ye family took the words away.

Seeing that things were almost done, Xue Rui blinked at Ye Lan.

"Okay, steward Xue is exhausted from traveling and traveling, and he is very tired. Let's take it to the wing room to rest." Ye Lanling said.

Xue Rui paid homage to Ye's family again, and left with Butler Ye.

"I've never seen such a confident proposer," Ye Lan commented, "Just bring the gift here first, if our family Ye Xi is not willing."

"I think this Mr. Xue has never been rejected by anyone." Mrs. Ye Cang is dignified, but she can't hide her praise, "Just looking at that painting, most girls will be tempted, let alone such a wealth, It's rare to see a good character that doesn't judge people by their appearance."

"How do you know that he doesn't judge people by their appearance? It's not because our Xi'er is beautiful, otherwise he would have taken the initiative to go shopping." Mrs. Ye was not convinced.

"Ma'am," Ye Jin'an smacked his lips, "Why don't you go to the shop with me to see Xi'er someday when you are free, I really don't think anyone can take a fancy to her for her scruffy appearance, this Xue Son..."

"What's the matter with you!" Mrs. Ye squinted at him, "Isn't Xi'er your own daughter or something, other people's fathers are reluctant to marry their daughters, only you, I can't wait!"

"You also know why," Ye Jinan sighed, causing Ye Lan and Ye Cang to look at him.

"Our family is in a special situation right now. If Xi'er can be entrusted to a reliable person, it will be a good way to keep her away from the struggle."

The hall fell silent.

Ye Cang hesitated for a long time, and said what he had been hiding before, "Father, I promised He Ying that I will go to the extreme north in half a month."

"What did you say!" Mrs. Ye Cang stood up first, and Ye Liang, who was sleeping beside her, was startled and looked at his mother.

Ye Cang said with a sullen face, "In front of parents, you must pay attention to etiquette."

"Ye Cang, when did this happen?" Mrs. Ye asked tremblingly.

"Half a month ago, I already promised He Ying."

"But..." Mrs. Ye looked at her daughter-in-law, saw that the latter shook her head, she didn't speak anymore, sighed, and left her seat.

Ye Lan knew the news a long time ago, so she wasn't surprised at all, but Ye Jin'an was steady, the father and son glanced at each other, Ye Lan hugged Ye Liang and left.

Only Ye Cang and his wife were left in this empty hall.

"Second uncle, what did daddy say?" Ye Liang rubbed his eyes, "Why is mother so angry?"

"It's nothing." Ye Lan put him on the ground and exhaled twice, "How much do you usually eat? Why can't I hold him anymore?"

Ye Liang clenched his teeth, "I'm strong now."

Ye Lan was disgusted, and picked up the flesh of Ye Liang's cheek with two fingers, trembling, "Is this called being strong?"

Ye Liang snorted, turned his head, and planned to ignore Ye Lan for a month.

Ye Lan glanced at the tense hall and pulled Ye Liang by the collar, "By the way, I haven't asked you what happened last time when you were taken to the outskirts of the city."

"I told Xiao——" Ye Liang remembered that Xiao Chong forbade him to mention him, and immediately changed the topic, "I told the little girls."

Ye Lan felt that he was quite clever, so she smiled, "Then why don't you go with Second Uncle to see your little aunt."

"Is little aunt finally getting married?"

Ye Lan thought for a while, then nodded, "Even if she doesn't marry this time, I have to get her out."

He led Ye Liang, and the two of them went to Ye Xi's room together.

The two girls guarding the door saw them, so they opened the door and faced the inside, "Miss, the second young master has come in."

Ye Xi didn't pay much attention to it, just sat on the chair and kept looking at the scroll.

"Why, you really look at your face?"

Ye Xi glanced at him, "Is this man really as good-looking as in the portrait?"

"I don't believe it either."

"What did Mom and Dad say?"

"Mother thinks it's okay, but father is quite satisfied. After all, the other party is from the Central Plains, and he doesn't get involved in this political struggle. Then he can protect you."

Ye Xi calmed down, "Father really cares about this."

"Silly sister, you should be a little more sensible, marry her first," Ye Lan said earnestly, "If it's not suitable, let's find a good one slowly."

What he said is quite obvious, I hope Ye Xi can understand.

Ye Xi looked at Ye Lan, then at the painting, "Brother, don't you think the people in this painting look familiar?"

Ye Lan probed to see, this painting was arranged by Xiao Chong, he didn't know it, just now he felt that something was wrong, this person's facial features, this posture of holding a sword...

"I agree." Ye Xi pursed her lips, "Go and talk to your mother."

Ye Liang stared wide-eyed, "Little aunt, do you really like this paper figurine?"

The siblings looked at Ye Liang helplessly together.

Ye Lan clicked her tongue twice, "Did you just sleep all the time?"

Ye Liang raised his head and thought hard, "I read too late yesterday."

"Hmph." Ye Lan didn't believe it at all.

Ye Lan glanced at the painting again, Ye Xi is not really moved, the people in this painting look more and more like each other,

Xiao Chong!
