Chapter 18 18

"You..." Feelings filled her heart, Ye Ying looked at her and finally looked away helplessly, "You can feel at ease bothering me."

"I'm not Miss Shen who interrupts your sword practice every now and then." Jing Shu's eyes were slightly lowered, as long as there was no one else around him, even if she was not at ease, she felt enough.

Sure enough, Shen Rou would return to Suzhou in a few days, but Ye Ying never said anything about the marriage. The night before Shen Rou left, Ye Mengqiu called him to the study and asked him directly.

But Ye Ying bowed and said, "Father, I have no intention of marrying a wife."

Looking at this grown-up son, Ye Mengqiu frowned and said, "You are twenty-two this year. When I was this age, you were already in your mother's womb. What's the point of procrastinating?"

"Father, I just want to learn about the sword in peace." Ye Ying's face remained unchanged.

Ye Mengqiu asked again: "In two years, I intend to hand over the villa to you. What if no one helps you manage it?"

"Second brother is calm and stable. With him around, father can rest assured."

Ye Mengqiu was worried, "You will be the owner of Hidden Sword Villa in the future. If you have no children, who will inherit the great business?"

"The second brother has already performed the coronation ceremony, so father can make plans early."

Ye Mengqiu's face turned black for the most part.

Ye Ying walked out of the study with a normal expression, and saw Ye Hui standing at the door, who followed with a bitter expression, "Brother, I have no intention of starting a family yet."

After a long pause, Ye Ying moved her lips, "It doesn't matter...and the third brother."

Ye Hui thought about it again, yes, there are three younger brothers behind, so it is impossible for the Ye family to have no offspring with so many sons.

Just after coming out of Ye Mengqiu's study, Ye Ying was called by the owner's wife to talk a lot on the way back. Looking at his expectant mother, he still shook his head, "Mother, I don't want to waste my time in vain." Another woman."

As if deeply touched, the owner's wife finally let out a long sigh.

The next day Shen Rou was about to leave, before she left, she came to Luomeiju to bid farewell to Ye Ying, "I have disturbed the Young Master for many days, a small thank you is not a respect."

Gu Yu lowered her head and handed over a brocade box, Jing Shu glanced at Ye Ying, saw him nodding, then bent down to take it, and heard him politely replying: "A few days ago, a trip to the West Lake was swept away by a thief. Xing, if Ms. Shen is a guest at Hidden Sword Villa next time, I will take Ms. Shen to visit again."

"That's great. I heard that the scenery of the West Lake is different in four seasons. Next time, Shen Rou will choose a day to come with my mother." Shen Rou smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

The chariots and horses were already waiting in front of the villa, Shen Rou got up to leave after not sitting for a long time, and looked at Ye Yingqingjun's face with some greed, "Master, we will meet later."

"There will be a time later." Ye Yingchao whispered to the people around her: "Jingshu, go and see Miss Shen off."

Jing Shu was taken aback for a moment, has he become more and more fluent in ordering her recently?However, she always obeyed Ye Ying's words, and she followed Shen Rou's side and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

She walked out of the courtyard silently, just as Jing Shu was about to say goodbye, she heard Shen Rou say, "Miss Jing Shu, please walk with me for a while longer."

His black eyes were slightly dazed, he looked at Luomeiju behind him, and nodded slightly.

It was midsummer, and the noise of cicadas kept coming and going in the villa. Jing Shu silently followed behind Shen Rou, walking towards the gate of the villa.

"Miss Jingshu, do you like the Young Master?"

The small steps stopped, and Jing Shu raised her head to look at Shen Rou who was walking in front.

"At first it was just my intuition, but now it seems that my intuition is quite accurate." Shen Rou turned around, "Did anyone tell you that you have the same temperament as the Young Master? It makes sense to be like him."

Jing Shu lowered her eyes and stood silently on the vermilion corridor.

"You are very lucky, the Young Master treats you very well, unlike me, he is not even willing to send me off himself." Shen Rou's eyes were full of astringency, but she still smiled.

"Miss Shen, you are overthinking. I told you that the owner of the young village only has a sword in his heart, and he can't tolerate others. He only treats me well for my mother's sake." Jing Shu replied lightly.

"Really?" Shen Rou thought for a moment, as if she had made up her mind, "I will tell my mother when I go back this time, the journey is tiring, and Shen Rou doesn't want to marry far away, so I ask my mother to find another marriage for me."

A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and a trace of surprise rarely appeared on his calm face.

Facing Jing Shu's surprised eyes, Shen Rou slowly said: "Although I have a deep affection for the young master, I am also a person who has a small desire for love. If the person I love doesn't have me in his heart, it's no different from being a widow." , Even if the Cangjian Mountain Villa has a big business, it doesn't attract me at all."

Jing Shu accompanied Shen Rou all the way to the door, when the curtain of the car was raised, Shen Rou suddenly turned to her and asked her: "If it is as you said, the master of the young village will go to the sword mound for many years to retreat, you will wait ?"

"……Wait."

There was nothing she could do but wait.

Shen Rou was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly: "You can afford to wait."

Jing Shu looked at the chariots and horses going away, her mind was suddenly disturbed by the wind.Back at Luomeiju, Ye Ying was still in the study, and Jing Shu stood outside the door for a long time before calming down and walking in, "Master Shao."

"En." Ye Ying pushed the brocade box that Shen Rou sent, "You take this."

Jing Shu was taken aback, "But this is what Miss Shen gave you."

"It's okay, if you like pastries, I'll give them to you."

Pursing her lips, Jing Shu hugged the brocade box, her eyes drooping slightly, as long as she can stay by his side, why not wait?

Not long after Shen Rou returned home, Lianghuai sent a letter, sincerely expressing his love for his daughter and family, and his unwillingness to marry far away, so he properly rejected the intention of getting married.

After receiving the letter, Ye Mengqiu heaved a long sigh, and turned his eyes to Ye Hui who was standing in front of him again. The latter noticed that the atmosphere was not right, hurriedly excused himself to deal with something, and left his father's study directly.

It was a pity for most people in the village to let go of the young owner's marriage, including Gu Xinlan.She didn't dare to mention it in front of Ye Ying, she just sighed several times in front of Jing Shu, after a while, she began to worry about another matter.Jing Shu will reach her age after the new year, she is not the daughter of a wealthy family, her marriage cannot afford to be delayed, everything needs to be planned early.

Gu Xinlan babbled a lot in her ears, Jing Shu just stared at her toes, seemingly listening to the teachings with an open mind, but her mind was wandering.After listening to it too many times, she became impatient, so she hid in the study no matter what happened, when Ye Ying was around, Gu Xinlan didn't dare to chatter, and when Ye Ying wasn't around, she found a corner to hide herself.

When Gu Xinlan found out that she was hiding in the study, she simply put her heart on hold and slipped behind Ye Ying all day long to act like a little tail.Gu Xinlan's face was getting darker and darker, and it was difficult to get angry in front of Ye Ying, so she just stared at Jing Shu who was hiding behind him.

Finally one day, Gu Xinlan couldn't bear it any longer, "Master Shao, don't spoil her like this, she won't be able to get married after these two years."

Ye Ying signaled Jing Shu to listen, and the latter reluctantly walked out with her head down.

Gu Xinlan seized the opportunity to keep talking, but the way Jing Shu's left ear went in and out of the right ear couldn't escape Gu Xinlan's eyes, looking impatient, she dragged her back to the room and closed the door to teach.It wasn't until almost the time that Gu Xinlan was going to make dinner, that Jing Shu was able to sneak out to the garden to breathe.

Ye Ying was sitting quietly in front of the court, and when she pushed the door out, she noticed something, her eyes fell, and Jing Shu stepped forward when she saw this, and asked in a muffled voice: "The wife of the owner was so similar to the young owner back then. Said?"

"Never."

"Madam is so kind." Jing Shu sighed heavily, even if she had a good temper, Gu Xinlan's words would soon make her rough.

"You should really think about your marriage."

"No, my mother's health hasn't been good for the past few years, so I'll stay with her." Her black eyes glanced in the direction of the kitchen, and a trace of deep worry slipped through her eyes.

"If Aunt Lan is not in good health, you should follow her wishes and don't make her angry."

Jing Shu turned her head, "So the owner of the young village is acting as my mother's lobbyist."

Ye Ying looked at the slim girl in front of him, Gu Xinlan's fight with Jing Shu was a little crazy, he was also very hesitant, Jing Shu is a woman, it will be inconvenient if she is alone in the future, if she really stays by her side ...The thoughts suddenly drifted away.

Spring came after the new year, Jing Shu didn't know her birthday, so Gu Xinlan took the day when she was picked up by the lake as her birthday, and within a few days, she sat in front of the mirror and looked at Gu Xinlan with joy on her face. The hair was combed out one by one and tied into a beautiful bun, and the delicate hairpin was slowly tied behind her head.

"My dear daughter, you have grown up."

The black eyes looked at himself in the mirror, and they lowered after a while, "Yes."

"Jing Shu?" For some reason, Gu Xinlan felt that Jing Shu didn't look happy.

Warm and cool little hands held her callused palms, "Mother, don't rush me to get married, okay, I want to stay with you well."

"Hey, you child..." Gu Xinlan laughed a little sourly, "If you have a good home, mother will be at ease in the future."

"Then you can stay with me for another year, and next year I will marry obediently."

This day, Ye Ying saw her third younger brother and Jing Yi coming back, and when she entered the courtyard, her eyes narrowed slightly. Under the eaves, the outline was still familiar, but the outline of the five sense organs became clear after she wore her hair. Today, she seemed to have put on some makeup. , the faint red lips are embellished on the fair skin, like plums stained with frost and snow.

When the wind blows, it is quiet, elegant and dusty.

But, why is her eyes so dim?

Jing Shu heard the footsteps before she retracted her gaze from the branches, and got up to say hello.

"Did Aunt Lan give you a gift?"

Touching the hairpin on the back of her head, Jing Shu nodded, "Master Young Master, I won't come to the study for a while."

Ever since Gu Xinlan urged Jingshu to get married, she has often hid in his study to avoid the limelight. Now if she doesn't stay in the study, where should she stay?

"Have you figured it out?" Ye Ying thought that she had changed her mind and decided to get married, and there was an unspeakable accident and an indescribable emotion in her heart, as if something from him had been snatched away.

That's right, as an elder brother, he is always reluctant to let his younger sister marry.

Jing Shu shook her head, "I just want to stay with my mother first."

It took a long time for Ye Ying to understand the meaning of "first" in this sentence.

Jing Shu learns everything quickly, so Gu Xinlan seized the time to teach her how to learn female reds. She was very pleased to see her embroider in a decent way, and her mood also improved a lot.After finishing her work in Luomeiju every day, she would sit under the lamp and carefully teach Jing Shu every stitch, and sometimes she would slowly close her eyes while watching from the sidelines.

Hearing the slight snoring sound coming from the side, Jing Shu put down her needle and thread and came to Gu Xinlan's side, carefully lying on her lap, stroking the back of her finely wrinkled hand with her thumb, and there was a trace of deep sadness in her closed eyes.

When the dew was heavy in autumn this year, Gu Xinlan got a typhoid fever and coughed non-stop.Jing Shu hastily invited a doctor, who prescribed medicine and supervised her to drink it every day. Seeing her panicked expression, Gu Xinlan smiled and said, "It's not a serious illness, why are you so nervous?"

Her thin lips were slightly pursed, Jing Shu insisted on letting her stay in bed, she followed Gu Xinlan wherever she went, she was not allowed to do heavy work, and Jing Shu who could do it for her did it for her.When the servants of Luomeiju saw Jing Shu, they admired Gu Xinlan. Such a filial daughter is rare.

Gu Xinlan smiled, but Jing Shu still had a silent face, calculating the time for the medicine prescribed by the doctor in her mind, thinking that the time was almost up, and then went to the medicine stove in the back kitchen to decoct the medicine.
