During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
"You'll know if you come out with me." Speaking of this, even Ye Xianglei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "I just want to ask you a favor. Can you go home with me?"
Nowadays, most of the Ye family members are in the capital, only Old Lady Ye insists on living in the village with Old Second Ye.
Old Mrs. Ye said that she was old and not used to living in such a cramped house in the city, so she liked to raise chickens, ducks and pigs in the countryside, where there were villagers to talk and chat with her.
Looking at the huge princess mansion, the Ye family members were speechless, wondering what was so wrong about it?
But no one could persuade Old Mrs. Ye, so they had to send her back to the countryside.
The other family members would go back to see the old lady every now and then.
Qingtian usually goes back home at the beginning of the month when the girls' school is on vacation, so even if Ye Xianglei doesn't come today, Qingtian will have to go back to the village tomorrow.
However, she deliberately did not tell Ye Xianglei about this, and followed Ye Xianglei out to find out what was going on.
Qin Hexuan naturally followed closely behind.
The three of them came to the gate together. Ye Xianglei ran to the carriage in two steps, leaned his head in and said something, then reached out and helped someone down.
As the people in the car got off, not only Qingtian and Qin Hexuan were stunned, but Ye Qinggang, who was sticking his head out from the gatehouse to watch the excitement, was even more dumbfounded.
Ye Xianglei reached out and helped a blonde, blue-eyed Western beauty down from the carriage!
Especially when looking at the two people's hands tightly clasped together, the relationship between them is self-evident.
No wonder this kid doesn’t dare to go home directly!
Although the maritime ban of the Great Qi had been lifted for some years, the people living near the capital had more or less seen Westerners.
But basically everyone just treats it as a novelty, and I've never seen anyone really have anything to do with Westerners.
If Ye Xianglei brought this Western beauty home directly, his parents would probably be scared to death.
Among the three people, Qingtian was the first to come to his senses.
She communicated with the other party directly in Western dialect.
When the beauty heard that Qingtian could speak Western languages, she became excited and pulled her aside to talk a lot.
Although Qin Hexuan also knows some Western paintings, he is not as proficient as Qingtian.
The other person spoke too fast and he could only understand the general idea.
After Qingtian heard this, he helped translate and said, "Her name is Ananta, and she said she likes my uncle very much and wants to marry him.
"But my uncle said that we must get our parents' consent to get married.
"So she gave up everything in the West and followed her uncle across the ocean to Daqi.
"She also said that she would work hard to get her uncle's parents to approve of her and agree to her marrying him."
"Oh my God!" It was the first time that Ye Qinggang saw a girl speaking so bluntly. He was so embarrassed that his face turned red and he couldn't bear to listen any longer.
"You were right to come find the princess first. If you bring her home like this, your mother will be so angry that she will die."
Qingtian, however, directly took Anata's hand and said, "Why are you angry? I think this young aunt is pretty good."
After hearing this, Ye Qinggang couldn't help but give Ye Xianglei a thumbs up.
"You know how to find a backer for yourself.
"If the princess agrees, no one will object!"
Ye Xianglei smiled instantly, revealing two rows of white teeth.
"Okay, stop giggling." Qingtian thought for a moment and said, "Let's set off now and go straight back to the village!
"Once we get to the village, you two will hide in my house for the night and don't show up. I'll help you find your aunt tomorrow to get the lowdown on things."
"Okay, let's go now!" Ye Xianglei naturally agreed.
To be honest, he has been away from home for more than three years and is really eager to go home.
If he wasn't afraid of being kicked out by his parents, he wouldn't have come to find Qingtian first.
Qin Hexuan hurriedly said, "I'll go with you too."
Qingtian was surprised and asked, "Brother Qin, aren't you going to the poetry gathering with Master tomorrow?
"I have something to do this time so I won't go. I'll have a chance next time!"
"Uh..." Qin Hexuan then remembered that he had originally come to invite Qingtian to attend the poetry reading together, but he didn't expect to be intercepted by Ye Xianglei.
In recent years, Qin Hexuan has grown up gradually. As some of his articles have spread, and he has answered the emperor's tests fluently several times, he has also gained some fame in the literary circle of the capital.
For the sake of this favorite disciple, Wei Yan no longer lived in seclusion and gradually began to take Qin Hexuan to some gatherings in the circle.
Qin Hexuan knew that his master was doing this for his own good, so he naturally wouldn't act so recklessly. He could only say, "Okay, I'll ask you to go with me next time we have the chance."
Seeing that everything was settled, Fan Yizhou immediately went down to arrange a carriage and manpower to escort Qingtian back to Rongxi Village.
Qingtian got directly into Ye Xianglei's carriage.
On the way home, Qingtian spoke to Annata in Western dialect at one moment and chatted with Ye Xianglei in Mandarin at another. It was amazing that she could switch so smoothly and fluently.
“Actually, I don’t think it’s that difficult.
"Your eldest brother already has two children now.
"My aunt is always complaining to my grandmother that you haven't come back yet and it's too late to find a husband for you.
"Grandma even said something in anger. If you don't come back in two years, I'll find you a wife and have her marry you with a big rooster, which I'll keep at home for you!"
Ye Xianglei was so frightened by these words that he broke out in a cold sweat: "Did my mother really say that? This is totally unnecessary!"
"My aunt only said it out of anger, it's impossible for her to do that.
"I'm just saying that she's really hoping you'll get married and have children soon.
