Chapter 342 Wedding Night
Zheng Qingshan came to see Ye Wan, and hesitated whether to mention Zheng Xiaodie's matter.
Lin Anyuan said, "Just say what you have to say. Don't be so coy."
Zheng Qingshan thought to himself: General, you're the one who told me to say this, so don't blame me later.
Then, he rattled off everything about Zheng Xiaodie's unrequited love, including what they had said at the dinner table, like pouring out beans.
Lin Anyuan looked up at him.
Zheng Qingshan immediately lowered his head: You made me say it, don't blame me, don't blame me.
"Mother, look at my sister!"
Just then, Er Ya pulled Sha Niu in with a grin.
Zheng Qingshan looked up at the tall woman who walked in. She was dressed in a neat riding outfit, with slightly dark skin, long legs, and a healthy appearance. Suddenly, he felt his heart start to race.
"Qingshan, you're here too? You've grown taller and stronger!"
As soon as the silly girl saw the old acquaintance, she came up and patted him on the shoulder.
Zheng Qingshan stumbled back several steps after being slapped, surprised, "You are..."
"Me? You idiot, Ye Xiaochong, you don't even recognize me? Hahahaha."
The silly girl patted him several more times.
Zheng Qingshan felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. He silently looked the silly girl over several times, his tone still somewhat incredulous, "Are you really a woman?"
"Yeah, so what? You don't look down on me too, do you?" Silly Girl chuckled.
His eyes conveyed a sense of "If you say yes, I'll beat you up."
Zheng Qingshan shook his head, "No, I'm just so surprised. There were rumors that you were a woman, and I thought they were just saying it, but I didn't expect it to be true."
After all, Lin Anyuan's nephew is known for his fierceness.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "She looks so beautiful in women's clothing, yet she's so fierce in battle."
Lin Anyuan straightened Ye Wan's clothes, then looked up and asked Zheng Qingshan, "Is there anything else you need today?"
If it were a serious matter, they would usually go to the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing. But since it's neither a holiday nor a festival, the fact that they brought gifts to my home must mean it's a private matter.
"General...I..." Zheng Qingshan stammered for a long time before finally speaking hesitantly, "General, I'm getting on in years, so I thought I'd ask the madam to act as my matchmaker."
If he waits for his stepmother to remember him, then his future days will probably not be peaceful.
After much thought, I decided to swallow my pride and ask for help beforehand.
"Oh, so you've come to play matchmaker?" Ye Wan became interested. "Tell me first, what kind of wife do you want to marry?"
Upon hearing that Ye Wan seemed to have this idea, Zheng Qingshan hurriedly said, "I am a son of a concubine, and my aunt is still alive. I also have a legal mother above me. I just hope that my future wife will be strong and I will suffer less. As for other requirements, I don't have any."
“Once she marries into my family, my stepmother will definitely have to keep an eye on her. I need to make this clear in advance.”
As soon as Zheng Qingshan finished speaking, he regretted it. If his daughter, who was from a privileged background, married him, a son of a concubine, she would definitely suffer in the inner quarters. Why should he delay the girl's life?
Before Ye Wan could speak, the silly girl next to her suddenly spoke up.
"What do you think of me? You sound like a pitiful little thing. Why don't you become my live-in son-in-law? You won't have to live in your house anymore. It'll solve everything once and for all."
Zheng Qingshan paused for a moment, then laughed, "Young Master Ye, please don't joke with me."
After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at the silly girl again.
The silly girl glared at him. "What's wrong? You don't even like me?"
"You don't like it? Fine, that's perfect! I like forced relationships!"
"We'll snatch you back and make you our son-in-law, and then we'll have your father come to my house to demand you back."
After saying that, Da Ya grabbed Zheng Qingshan.
Before Zheng Qingshan could even recover from the shock, he was suddenly hoisted up.
He blushed instantly and became completely incoherent, "Oh, I..."
Before he could even finish a sentence, the silly girl carried him away.
"Aunt, Uncle, I'm going to the bridal chamber now. I'll come back to serve you tea tomorrow."
"..."
Ye Wan was eating watermelon on the side. The watermelon was freshly cut, and the silly girl hadn't even had a chance to eat it yet. She turned to look at Lin Anyuan and asked, "Are we being so hasty? Should we go after him and bring him back?"
Did they really carry him to the bridal chamber?
Lin Anyuan tugged at Ye Wan's clothes and rubbed them, "Don't worry about it. Zheng Qingshan is no pushover. If he really didn't want to, he wouldn't let someone carry him away."
It would be great if the two of them could be attracted to each other.
"Someone, wait an hour and then send a message to Lord Zhongyong, telling him to go and ask for his son."
Ye Wan: ...
An hour is indeed enough time to cook the rice into a cooked meal.
Lin Anyuan added, "His stepmother is no ordinary person. The fact that he came to you for help means he probably wants to get some leverage over the marriage. This is perfect. Silly Girl is also an official; she can't be easily manipulated."
Zheng Qingshan was considered one of his confidants, and if a disloyal woman were left in the backyard, trouble would inevitably ensue sooner or later.
Ye Wan pulled her clothes back, saying that if she kept rubbing them, they would get all wrinkled. "I'm not worried about the silly girl, I'm just worried that a perfectly good young man's reputation will be ruined, and then the silly girl will leave him and move on to the next one. How can I explain that to her?"
Lin Anyuan: ...
How could he forget this? This heartless little brat in front of him has the same idea.
Ye Wan realized what she was saying after she finished speaking and quickly changed the subject, "Hey, speaking of which, our eldest daughter should be engaged by now. You should keep an eye out for her, otherwise all the good ones will be taken. Then there are our second and third daughters, you should keep an eye out for them too."
Sanya held the small throwing knife and spun around. "Mom, don't worry about me. I'll snatch a son-in-law for you later."
Ye Wan: "..."
Er Ya touched the tassel on her hairpin and said, "Don't worry about me. I'll have lots and lots of money in the future. Wouldn't it be better to support ten or eight handsome men? Why should I marry a man and suffer for the rest of my life?"
Ye Wan: "..."
Lin Anyuan's eyes held a hint of danger. "Wanwan, is that what you think too?"
Ye Wan clicked her tongue guiltily, "Shouldn't you be blaming your daughter? Why are you blaming me? Think about it, is that right?"
Lin Anyuan wanted to say that these girls were influenced by his ideas, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
If I tell them, then it's all over, and I won't be able to appease them.
Ye Wan smiled and said, "Lin Anyuan, I haven't settled accounts with you for attracting women while you're out and about. Let's not talk about the distant past, but about the recent past. What's the deal with that Miss Zheng that Zheng Qingshan mentioned earlier?"
Lin Anyuan said aggrievedly, "Wanwan, what 'Miss Zheng' or 'Miss Wai'? I don't know this person at all."
Er Ya and San Ya left quickly, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
"Second sister, is what you just said true? You won't get married in the future? Didn't you say before that you wanted to marry into a rich family and enjoy endless wealth and luxury?"
Once outside, Sanya asked Erya.
"Of course it's true, you think I'm joking?"
“My parents are both officials now, and I am a proper daughter of an official. I have endless wealth and honor to enjoy. What family is worthy of my aspirations?”
Er Ya, with her delicate fingers raised, said in a pretentious tone, "Alright, I'm not going to chatter with you anymore. I'm going to check on my shop. When my cosmetics shop opens, if you have any close girlfriends, you can bring them over. I can give them a 20% discount."
Sanya said, "Then I'll go study my little throwing knife. I'll make one that's easy to carry. You can stick it in your hair later, and no one will notice. It can save your life in a critical moment. I must send one to my eldest sister."
There was no one left in the main hall; the couple had gone back to their room through the back door to discuss something they couldn't be told to do.
