"You mean Pang Yi? No," Mei Ya said while sighing, "When it comes to Pang Yi, I'm really worried. He's so old, but he doesn't seem to care at all. I've never seen him anxious. I guess I'll have to ask Grandma Chen to keep an eye on this old man in the future."
In fact, Mei Ya wanted to ask if Gu Qingtong didn't have anyone suitable. Should she go on a blind date with Pang Yi? But she didn't ask Pang Yi's opinion. Gu Qingtong was a little different in age from Pang Yi, and she was worried that he would have an opinion. So she was too embarrassed to ask.
"That's fine. Anyway, grandma has always been enthusiastic about matchmaking." Chen Qingxuan said with a smile.
"Mrs. Chen is not interested in matchmaking, she is only interested in finding a wife for her grandson." Meiya refuted him. At the same time, she asked in a low voice, "I think Miss Fang from the prefect's family is a good person. She is not arrogant at all. Mr. Chen, you are really not..."
"Girl, I have already made it clear to Miss Fang," Chen Qingxuan interrupted Meiya's words. He shook his head and said decisively, "You know I have always been stubborn. If I like someone, I will keep him in my heart for the rest of my life. If I don't like someone, I will never force myself, let alone hurt him."
"You have such a temper..." Meiya didn't know what to say. She thought about Grandma Chen's old face and disappointed eyes, and then looked at Chen Qingxuan's silent face. In the end, she nodded, "Very good."
Yes, although she felt that Grandma Chen was very pitiful, Meiya still felt that Chen Qingxuan was right.
Because that's who she is.
Although she was a rough palace maid and an ugly girl, no one could force her. Once her heart was set on a person, it would not change. Even if she had no chance to be his bride in this lifetime, she would not settle for second best and ride in someone else's sedan chair.
One should always have some persistence in life. Some people persist in fame, some persist in money, and she persists in her heart.
…
"I think it's good too." Chen Qingxuan smiled faintly.
"Girl, have you finished picking the beans?" Gu Changlin finished a cup of tea and came out to ask.
"Oh, we've picked it up! We'll be there soon!"
Meiya threw the last red bean into the basket and stood up from the ground. Probably because she had been squatting for too long, her legs were a little weak and she was about to fall. Chen Qingxuan quickly supported her and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Oh, it's okay, Mr. Chen, let's go!" After Mei Ya stood firm, she hurriedly shook off Chen Qingxuan's hand and walked to the back while carrying the basket.
As the weather got warmer, Meiya finally took off her heavy cotton coat and put on spring clothes. She wore a goose yellow short shirt with a slanting collar and wide sleeves, and a dark green pleated skirt. The hem of her skirt swayed in the wind, like a dark green cloud, which was very beautiful.
Chen Qingxuan stared at Meiya infatuatedly until Meiya turned around and disappeared behind the screen wall. Then he came to his senses and suddenly curled his lips in self-mockery. He lowered his head and looked at the red bean in his hand. As he looked at it, he stopped smiling. He carefully put the red bean into his purse and quickly walked into the backyard.
…
The family did not have much land to begin with, and this year time was tight, so they only cleared one acre, so the planting was completed before dusk. Mei Ya walked in front, holding Grandma Chen and Gu Changlin in each hand, while Chen Qingxuan followed behind, leading the cow. Listening to the three people in front talking and laughing, Chen Qingxuan couldn't help feeling a little sad.
He also wants a home. He has been an orphan with only Grandma Chen who loves him. But she can never replace his parents. Therefore, Chen Qingxuan has been more calm and sensible than other children of the same age since he was a child. He is also more taciturn and never tells others about his hardships and tiredness. This is a habit he developed since then. It is difficult for him to express his emotions, which is also a root cause of the disease he had since he was a child.
At this time, seeing Mei Ya holding the two old people and talking and laughing all the way, Chen Qingxuan felt really bad. This scene was too warm, and it made him look even more lonely. Such a good girl was about to get married...
"Qingxuan," Grandma Chen suddenly turned her head to look at Chen Qingxuan and said with a smile, "The girl said that she will come to the village to help us farm in a while!"
Chen Qingxuan said busyly: "Grandma, it's just a small piece of land, I can plant it myself, the girl is busy at home."
