Chapter 319: Unusual Relationship
Shen Zhiyan gently took her hand:
"I will write a letter back to Beijing and ask my sister-in-law to come and propose marriage."
He wanted to force his eldest brother to marry him, but it seemed not serious for a rough man to propose marriage.
This is the person that Shen Zhiyan loves, and he wants to give her the best.
Ye Caiping felt sweet in her heart: "I haven't agreed yet."
Shen Zhiyan smiled elegantly: "If you still don't agree by then, it means that Manman misses her aunt and asks her to come and stay for a while."
Ye Caiping was stunned and really wanted to say to Shen Manman, did you know that your father is so dark?
Shen Zhiyan turned around again and picked up a brocade box next to the stool: "This is a gift for your title."
Ye Caiping said: "Manman gave it to me."
"Her gift was just a joke. This is the gift from my family."
Ye Caiping took it, opened it, and saw a green jade hairpin inside. It was simple in style, but as clear and transparent as ice.
"Do you like it?"
Ye Caiping felt sweet in her heart and nodded.
Shen Zhiyan picked up the hairpin and put it on her personally.
Ye Caiping raised her head slightly and saw that the hairpin on his head was made of the same material as hers.
This is a pair of hairpins made from the same piece of jade.
The exquisite and beautiful jades are carved into a pair, just like your heart reflecting the brilliant light.
Ye Caiping flicked the hairpin on her head and said, "Does it look good?"
Shen Zhiyan looked at her with a smile: “Yeah.”
She was already pretty and charming, and the translucent jade hairpin made her look even more beautiful as she lowered her eyes and smiled.
Shen Zhiyan couldn't help but take her into his arms and gently hugged her.
Ye Caiping looked around and saw no one, but there seemed to be a small boat on the river in the distance, and there seemed to be a boatman on the boat.
Ye Caiping blushed: "What are you doing in broad daylight?"
Shen Zhiyan smiled: "Hug you..."
He just liked to be close to her and touch her.
The two sat by the river until it got dark, then they went back.
During this period, Ye Caiping didn't catch any fish because she never fished again after that.
However, Shen Zhiyan caught a small fish fry and stuffed it into Ye Caiping's hand: "All for you."
Ye Caiping smiled, and the two of them left in the night.
Ye Caiping's carriage was parked under a big tree not far from the river. Shanzi was dozing there. When he heard Ye Caiping's footsteps, he woke up quickly.
From a distance, Ye Caiping and Shen Zhiyan were seen coming together.
Shanzi quickly jumped out of the car and said with a smile, "Mrs. Ye is back. Hello, Mr. Shen."
Shen Zhiyan nodded and looked at Ye Caiping with bright eyes: "Go back quickly!"
"Um."
Ye Caiping got in the car, and Shen Zhiyan helped her up.
Shanzi's eyes almost popped out of his head as he watched from the side.
It’s fine if we go fishing together, but is this something you can help me with?
Isn’t it said that men and women shouldn’t touch each other?
Seeing the look in their eyes again... how should I put it, it seems like they are inseparable...
Could it be that... Mr. Shen and Madam Ye have an unusual relationship?
Shanzi gasped. Could it be that those small fish from before... were actually tokens of their love?
The long-standing doubts were finally solved, and Shanzi felt that everything made sense!
Ye Caiping lifted the car curtain and said, "Shanzi, what are you daydreaming about?"
"Xiao Yu Conspiracy... No, nothing, hehehe, I'm leaving now!" Shanzi jumped into the car and sat in front of the horse, "Mr. Shen, I'm leaving."
As he spoke, he flicked the whip lightly, and the carriage slowly drove away.
Shen Zhiyan smiled until the carriage disappeared before going home.
Shen Manman and Xiao Qiu sat on the steps of Shen Zhiyan's yard, watching him come back with the fishing gear and snorted.
Shen Zhiyan: “What’s wrong?”
"I don't want to talk to you."
After saying that, he took Xiaoqiu away.
As we walked along, I kept muttering, "All he does is go fishing. No wonder he's still single. And he wants to have a baby. It makes me so angry."
Xiao Qiu said: "Some things can be changed. The young lady has already reminded the maids, so it will not happen."
Shen Manman nodded, and as she walked into her room, she sighed, “Xiao Qiu, do you think I should give up? They have known each other for so long, but there has been no progress at all.”
Xiao Qiu said: "Well, just let it go."
Shen Manman was depressed. The last time she had a baby was such a huge blow to her.
…
When Shen Zhiyan returned to his room, he immediately wrote a letter and gave it to Duanwu:
"Send it back to the capital, quickly."
Duanwu took it with a smile: "Master, are you... planning to propose to Madam Ye?"
Shen Zhiyan said calmly: "Stop talking too much. Well, I'll give you a monthly salary."
"Thank you, sir." Duanwu immediately left happily.
…
Ye Caiping carried the fish home and ran into the kitchen excitedly.
Old Mrs. Ye was picking vegetables in the corridor. When she saw the familiar fish basket, she hurried after it.
Ye Caiping found a small bucket in the kitchen, put some water in it, and put the little fish in it.
Old Lady Ye looked at her daughter's affectionate expression and knew something was wrong. She said happily:
"Hey, Mr. Shen caught fish again! What do you want to cook tonight?"
Ye Caiping coughed dryly: "Take care of it first..."
"Tsk tsk, I'm going to raise it instead of cooking it."
Ye Caiping gently stirred the water in the bucket with her hand, looking a little shy: "Mom...if I really find a man to marry, what do you say?"
Old Lady Ye's eyes lit up: "Mr. Shen proposed to you?"
Ye Caiping choked. Her mother was really straightforward.
Old Lady Ye said, "That would be great! When will you propose marriage? Let your elder brother propose marriage?"
Ye Caiping held it in for a long time before she said, "This is just the beginning... I haven't agreed to this yet!"
Old Mrs. Ye was not in a hurry. She smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a line: "Okay, okay, okay, you guys just get along first! Take your time!"
After her daughter got married once, Old Mrs. Ye was a little scared, so she had to look carefully at her son-in-law this time.
Although she was already very satisfied, she still had to be cautious.
Old Lady Ye asked again: "What about Jin'er and Huan'er?"
Ye Caiping blushed: "I'll talk to them in a few days..."
It takes a month to travel from Qinghe Village to the capital by the fastest water route.
At dinner, Ye Jiner and her sister and Old Man Ye only felt that Ye Caiping was in a particularly good mood. As for the reason...
Is it because he received an imperial edict and a reward?
…
The next morning, by the river——
When Wei came to the river with a basket of clothes, she heard Mrs. Zhao chatting with some other women.
"The food yesterday was simply the most delicious food in the world!"
"Not only chicken, goose, fish, duck, pork elbow, but also Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which is delicious."
"Yes, there are abalones in it! I grabbed a piece! This is what rich people eat. I ate it today, and it's worth it in this life."
"Not only is there a lot of meat, but the portions are huge! In the past, when we had banquets, the dishes were gone in a few bites as soon as they were served. The dishes were so big that we couldn't finish them all! I even took two bowls of leftovers home."
"Me too."
"Cai Ping is really generous. If someone else was rich and had a title, I would be jealous, but Cai Ping, I am not jealous."
When Wei heard the village woman praising Ye Caiping, she felt choked up.
Ye Erquan and Yinhua both went to yesterday's banquet, but she was the only one who couldn't go!
Wei was so wronged!
What’s more, that father and daughter had no conscience at all and didn’t even bring back leftovers for her! Let her eat a few vegetables and eggs at home.
What do you mean you are magnanimous? You are obviously stingy!
She is her sister-in-law, she just made a little mistake, and nothing happened to her. She just said she doesn't want to have any contact with her, so she is petty.
Be stingy with your own people and pretend to be generous to others.
"Hey, isn't this Erquan's wife?" At this time, a woman found Wei and asked, "Why didn't I see you at the banquet yesterday?"
After these words were spoken, Wei's face darkened.
Mrs. Zhao curled her lips and said, "What kind of banquet is this? She wants to go, but they don't welcome her."
As he spoke, he began to laugh.
The other village women were kind-hearted. Although they thought Wei was hateful, they could not bring themselves to slander her as it had been so long since the incident.
Wei bit her lip tightly and turned around in humiliation.
After she took a few steps, the two village women whispered, "Who do you blame? Who told her to be so greedy! Her sister-in-law gave her enough, but she still schemed against someone else's daughter. Now she's getting her comeuppance. Who is she pretending to be so pitiful for?"
Although the sound was small, Wei still heard it.
She paused.
She has suffered enough injustice during this period of time, and now it finally exploded!
She walked back, her eyes red, but she tried her best to force a smile: "Who is greedy? What am I greedy for?"
"I proposed marriage only because I wanted my son to marry someone I know well! I just wanted to strengthen the relationship! Who would have thought that Ye Jin'er is such a despicable person who despises the poor and loves the rich!"
"Still studying! You read so much, but in the end you become greedy and vain."
"Humph, my Peng'er doesn't care about her! When I look for a daughter-in-law, I have to get close to her and know her background. My Peng'er is already engaged to my niece from my mother's side."
"What I want is a relative who knows me well and is kind and upright!"
When this was said, all the village women present were stunned: "What, Ye Peng is engaged to your niece?"
Seeing their slapped faces, Wei finally let out a sigh of relief: "Yes! My family is not a wealthy family, but I just don't mind! When I asked Ye Jin'er to marry me, it wasn't for money. It was just for a closer relationship!"
