Qin Shu opened his mouth and wanted to find a reason to refuse, but after seeing Bai Chu's probing eyes, he changed the subject and agreed, saying "OK" with difficulty.
Qin Shu drooped her eyelashes, feeling sad in her heart. In fact, she missed Bai Chu very much, and wanted to see him and talk to him, but she knew she couldn't.
She and Bai Chu are destined to be people from two different worlds.
After that, both of them remained silent until Qin Shu left the government office.
Bai Chu turned around and saw Lu Ying, who was wearing a light yellow dress, looking at him.
Bai Chu was about to say something when he saw Lu Ying turn around and leave as if she didn't see him.
These days, Lu Ying has been staying in the government office. Bai Chu knows that his parents had Aunt Lu before, and Uncle Lu hopes that he can marry Lu Ying.
But he clearly refused.
But Lu Ying still stayed, but she didn't mention the marriage again. She was like an ordinary friend or an ordinary guest.
-
In the private room on the second floor of the teahouse.
Lu Ying drank and looked at the bustling street outside the window, her eyes blurred with drunkenness.
At this time, the door of the box was pushed open.
The girl was dressed in light green clothes, which was elegant and refined. She had a beautiful face, and her every move exuded a strong scent of books. There was a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, which made her elegant eyebrows and eyes even more charming.
When Ye Qingyue walked in, he saw people drinking.
She asked the maid to wait outside, sat down opposite Lu Ying, and made tea by herself.
Her movements were smooth and flowing, and the aroma of tea lingered in the air. After a long while, she placed the first cup of tea in front of Lu Ying and said, "Drinking too much alcohol is not good. Auntie, you should drink tea."
Lu Ying raised her eyes lazily: "Qing girl, you are here." She picked up the teacup, took a sip, and the fragrance of tea spread between her lips and teeth.
When Ye Qingyue heard Lu Ying call her "Qing girl", she had already become complacent, because her generation was indeed younger than Lu Ying's.
Lu Ying had an older brother who was seventeen years younger than her. This brother married Ye Qingyue's mother. When Ye Qingyue was born, Lu Ying was only one year old.
Now Lu Ying is sixteen years old and Ye Qingyue is fifteen years old.
The Ye family is a family of scholars. The ancestors of the Ye family have cultivated many scholars, and it can be said that their students are all over the world.
Ye Qingyue is the only child of Ye's father and mother. They have high hopes for her since she was a child, hoping that she can inherit the Ye family's long-standing heritage.
The Ye family had strict rules, especially Ye's mother, who had been very strict with Ye Qingyue since childhood. She remembered that when she was little, she once secretly took Ye Qingyue out to play, and when they returned, little Ye Qingyue was punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall for two days and two nights. Since then, Lu Ying never dared to do that again.
Ye Qingyue's every move was elegant and respectful of the rules.
Compared to Lu Ying, who is a year older and more free and unrestrained, Ye Qingyue can be said to be elegant to the point of dullness.
Sometimes, Lu Ying felt that Ye Qingyue had been shaped into a work of art by the Ye family, and the Ye family needed such a work of art to serve as the face of this century-old family.
When she was little, Lu Ying went out to play, learn martial arts, and do whatever she wanted, but Ye Qingyue was confined at home, studying the Four Books and Five Classics, and learning music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Now, fifteen-year-old Ye Qingyue is already a scholar and will take part in the provincial examination tomorrow.
"Aunt, what happened to you?" Ye Qingyue asked, with a faint emotion between his brows, neither sad nor happy. But if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of concern.
