Second Marriage - Chapter 42
The night scene on the boat is special. The boat docked on the river bank is lit with oil lamps, and it looks like fireflies playing in twos and threes.
After dinner, Xiao Youning had been lying in front of the wide open window, and the night wind blew the strands of broken hair that fell from her forehead, and Yuanguo came to urge her a few times, fearing that she would be frozen.
Once again urged to no avail, the round-faced little maid walked back into the house pouting.
Ye Shen finally finished his business, turned his wrist, stood up and picked up the Taoist robe on one side, and walked over to put it on her shoulder.
“good looking?”
He also stood in front of the window and looked out, the moonlight falling on the river, exuding sparkling white light.
“It looks good.” Xiao Youning’s gaze was still fixed on the surface of the river, his eyes shining brightly.
Ye Shen turned her head to see her bright look, thinking she was much better than the scenery.
The two stood and sat, one for the scenery and the other for the beauty.
After the second shift, Xiao Youning finally left the cubicle and went to the clean room to take a shower.
After she came out, she saw Ye Shen sitting back under the lamp and reading a book, facing the light with her side face, her eyebrows with sharp eyebrows were shrouded in halo, which seemed to soften a lot.
She stood there and watched silently for a while, and couldn’t help but glance towards the direction of the bed.
There is only one bed in this room. Not long ago, they had expressed their thoughts, but it is impossible to sleep together… It’s gone through the same room as it is now.
In her heart, a face wrinkled and she was so absorbed in her thoughts that even Ye Shen had put down the book and walked towards her without realizing it.
“What are you doing here? Aren’t you sleepy?” Ye Shen bent over to look at her.
He particularly likes this action. Leaning forward slightly, he can get closer to her and see her better.
Xiao Youning was taken aback, jumped up like a cat, and backed a few steps.
“Why are you walking without sound?”
Ye Shen didn’t expect her reaction to be so big, and he tugged her to prevent her from hitting the things behind him, “It’s because you think things are in your mind.”
He thought of something as he said, looked at the bed behind the screen, and instantly understood what was wrong with her.
With a teasing thought, he pulled her toward the screen, but he was so nervous that he swallowed desperately.
She has been married once, but she is still a big girl, even if she doesn’t care what others think of her. She liked Ye Shen, she dared to like it and gave him everything, but she would be a little scared in the end.
Ye Shen didn’t speak all the way, so he held her hand quietly, and when he reached the place, he sat down directly on the edge of the bed, and the eyes staring at her became ambiguous: “Tired, let’s rest.”
He was talking about us, Xiao Youning was so nervous that she hit Ji Ling, looking at her panic and innocent, like a frightened innocent deer.
Such an innocent look is not too tempting, it hooks out all the possessiveness in the man’s heart!
Ye Shen raised his hand, and gently stroked her water-moistened temple with his fingertips, his eyes deepened, and his suppressed desire|hope was inside.
A man, no matter how clear-hearted he is, he will instinctively be impulsive when he meets a woman he loves.
He didn’t feel shameful because of the impulse of love, but he couldn’t.
He loves her and wants to give her the best in the world. How can he do something that really doesn’t respect her?
Ye Shen pressured the blood pressure surging in his body, regretting that he had slapped her.
“Okay, rest!” He quickly pushed her down on the couch.
As soon as Xiao Youning hit the quilt and was about to sit up, he had already taken off the golden hook that was holding the curtain, and let the dark curtain isolate her inside.
But she still got her head out and blushed and asked, “No, didn’t you rest? You…Where did you rest?”
Ye Shen was asked to take a deep breath, put a finger on her forehead, pushed her in again, and said bluntly: “If you really want to be a’Mrs. Show your face again.”
Xiao Youning’s ears were hot when he was reinserted. It was obvious that he was the first to say the misunderstanding, but it was her fault!
However, she didn’t have the guts to put her face out again and lay down holding the quilt. It may be that he sensed that he was still standing next to the bed, uncomfortable, so he moved in and then moved until he hit the wall before stopping and closing his eyes. A heart was beating violently.
Ye Shen was still out of the account, waited until there was no sound inside, then slowly left, and before leaving, he stretched out his hand to rub his brows.
He really… he tortured himself and took her to see him every day, but now he can’t understand the indifferent meeting.
He sighed long and walked outside.
Yuanguo and Jianyin were both standing outside the partition, and they stared at each other like two cockfighting.
He knew what she was thinking as soon as he looked at Yuanguo’s expression, his expression constricted, and he ordered Jianyin: “Go and move the yellow rosewood bed under the window to the bookshelf.”
Jianyin immediately became anxious: “Wuye, you are going to sleep on the couch, which is still a short couch, you can’t put your feet away!”
Ye Shen glanced at him coldly, making him shut up. Yuanguo’s face looked much better when she heard that, and snorted to the reluctant sword sound, and ran into the inner room by herself, slamming the door leaf.
“You bastard!” Jian Yin was so angry that he wanted to kick the door.
On the first day of the trip, the two of them had one bed and one couch, separated by a distance between them.
Xiao Youning got up the next day and saw Ye Shen but couldn’t help laughing.
Ye Wuye’s beautiful face was bitten by mosquitoes, and one was just on the tip of his nose, which couldn’t be more conspicuous.
Jian Yin was not spared either.
They were in the river, the mosquitoes were so poisoned that they were not afraid of the incense, and they had to be full mosquitoes before they died.
Ye Shen’s face was blue with her smile. To this day, he basically sat behind the bookcase and read books or letters, not even saying much. It was really because that face made him feel ashamed.
Xiao Youning knew that a man had a good face, and was a little upset that she couldn’t help but laugh. When the sun was about to set, Yuanguo was dragged by Jianyin to the kitchen to carry food. She took out a box of mosquito bite gel and walked to him.
She took advantage of his eye-opening hand to put the medicine on the tip of his nose when he looked up: “It will disappear overnight.”
Ye Shen grabbed her hand, opened his mouth and bit gently, and found the place where he was made fun of.
Xiao Youning exaggerated and shouted that it hurts. He knew that she was pretending, so he had to put her bitten finger in front of his eyes and ask her if it hurts.
She laughed and coaxed him: “It hurts, you blow it up.”
He really lowered his head and blew it to her, which made her laugh, and the embarrassment between the two disappeared, and they served each other with food at night.
“Sitting with you for dinner like this, I always feel familiar with it.” She put the shrimp he had in her mouth and squinted her eyes.
Ye Shen also felt miraculous. The two of them got along like this, and they really had the same tacit understanding and tenderness as an old couple.
One day passed without surprises, and when it was time to rest, Ye Shen still consciously wanted to go to the short couch in front of the bookshelf, but he didn’t want to be held by Xiao Youning.
She took him to the inner room, bowed her head and said, “I have to curl up to sleep on that couch, not to mention you as a big man. I let Yuanguo pile up books in the middle of the bed, similar to the wall, you sleep Outside, I sleep inside, so you don’t have to be bitten by a mosquito.”
Ye Shen paused. She didn’t move, but looked back at him, her face was brighter than rouge.
“You are not afraid that I will push the book in the middle of the night?” His voice was low and dumb, and Xiao Youning lowered his head again in embarrassment, “Even if I pushed, I don’t know who is taking advantage of it. The innocence is gone.”
He felt uncomfortable when he heard the words, and instead clasped her hands tightly, pulled her to the couch, and pushed her down to help lower the curtain like last night, and went out by himself.
He didn’t say a word, but he regarded her as a treasure, and the respect he gave her was not expressed in words.
Xiao Youning was lying on the bed, her eyes moistened unknowingly, she is so dear…
The two moved further and further away from the capital along the waterway, but the capital was more lively than before they left.
On the second day when Hui Jing was deprived of the title of princess, Mrs. Li bit her head and announced the wedding news and the date of her wedding, which was set in August. It’s now halfway through July, and it’s been decided in a hasty look that even if Hui Jing is not the princess, there is no way to shirk it. The eldest princess is a princess no matter what.
Master Li was also secretly ridiculed by his colleagues. Every day he didn’t even want to go to the Yamen, and he didn’t look at Mrs. Li when he went home. The two of them could make a quarrel upset with a single sentence.
Hui Jing was so frightened that she became ill. She slowly got better when she heard that the marriage was going on as planned. She followed her mother several times and tried to kowtow to the emperor, but she couldn’t even enter the palace gate.
Everyone has seen enough of the two houses. The emperor suddenly asked Jin Yiwei to tear off the seal of the Yongning Hou Mansion. The second room of the Xiao family who heard the news was all busy to Xiao Youning’s mansion. Inquire.
As a result, she was told by her servant that she had gone away and asked where she was going, but she was as silent as a gourd. Master Xiao Er had to leave in disappointment. At this busy moment, another news came out that Mrs. Ye, who had lived in Taoist temple for many years, suddenly returned to Ye’s house.
Someone heard that Mrs. Ye was back to Beijing to manage the marriage for the younger son.
Everyone was in an uproar, and they speculated that it was the girl who was going to become the Ye family’s daughter-in-law, and even the old lady Ye was willing to put down Qingxiu and take the initiative to return to Beijing. Before the eldest grandson of Ye Mansion married, Mrs. Ye did not show up.
The caring person found an excuse to visit the Ye family to inquire, but there was nothing. Mrs. Ye’s mouth was tight, but it was really impenetrable.
What outsiders didn’t know was that the old lady Ye had a temper on the day that Mrs. Ye returned to Beijing, and pointed to Mrs. Ye’s nose and cursed: “You actually want to make such a big battle for that evil obstacle?!”
Mrs. Ye curled her mouth like a smile, “Why, poke your eyes? You are so kind, you tell everyone that you can’t do it.” The sneer was cut on the heart of the old man with a knife. Cut out a **** flesh.
Grandpa Ye was so angry that he was trembling all over, and even his teeth were trembling. The servant was frightened and hurriedly helped him sit down.
The smile on Mrs. Ye’s mouth did not fall, she stepped forward and gently helped him smooth the creases on the placket, her voice was soft: “Master, without the old fifth, the Ye family can’t keep this glory. He does it for the Ye family. What is the life spent in the palace? How much blood did you have on the hands of the Ye Family? These are all your sins. Since you enjoy the honor given by him, you naturally have to pay the price. There is no benefit in the world. The reason for being alone, right…”
