Chapter 324: Climbing High
In the front hall, someone came to call Ye Hanyi for lunch.
She had slept past breakfast and was now very hungry.
When I arrived at the main hall, I found that everyone was there and Ge Xubai had not left either.
His face looked normal, with no sign of a hangover. His gaze fell on Ye Hanyi, and there was a hint of different meaning in his eyes.
Xiao Yanci glanced at her and sneered.
"Hey, you're awake? Don't some people boast about being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk? It seems some of their reputations are just self-made."
Ye Hanyi had anticipated that he would mock her, and retorted, "No matter what, I am still better than you."
She immediately turned around and told Lu Zhiran about his shortcomings, "The last time he went to southern Yunnan, he accompanied my father and grandfather to drink. We had just started when he collapsed, drunk as mud. He even ran to the yard to pick up leaves, saying that they were the silver he had saved."
Lu Zhiran couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
Xiao Yanci felt a little embarrassed and asked her to shut up.
Ye Hanyi: "If no one offends me, I won't offend anyone."
Xiao Yanci: ...
He's just a bad mouth.
As Ge Xubai listened to the cousins bickering, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
What kind of family are the Ye family? They could raise someone as straightforward, straightforward, sunny and happy as Ye Hanyi, and they could also make Master feel longing and melancholy every time he recalls them.
After the meal, everyone dispersed.
Ge Xubai quickly caught up with Ye Hanyi, his eyes falling on her.
"Are you feeling better?"
Ye Hanyi felt a little embarrassed because his boast was contradicted.
"Much better."
The two walked side by side for a while, and Ge Xubai asked again, "Do you still remember what you said last night?"
Ye Hanyi uttered a soft "Ah," "What did I say?"
There was confusion in her eyes.
When Ge Xubai saw this, the expression on his face froze instantly, and his eyes became deeper.
"You really don't remember?"
Ye Hanyi met his murderous gaze, quickly straightened his expression, and tried hard to recall.
By this time, her mind was basically clear. After thinking about it, she really remembered some clues, but she was a little unsure whether it was real or just a dream she had last night.
She asked tentatively: "Should I ask you to be the son-in-law of the Ye family?"
Hearing that she finally remembered, Ge Xubai's ugly expression finally eased a little.
He made a "hmm" sound through his nose as a response.
"Then you agree?"
Ge Xubai looked at her with a gloomy look, "If I hadn't agreed, why would I be reminiscing with you here?"
He wished she had forgotten it.
Ye Hanyi was a little surprised and delighted, and then began to feel embarrassed.
Is it so easy to cheat?
Seeing that she was silent again, Ge Xubai's face darkened even more.
"Why, do you regret it?"
Ye Hanyi immediately shook his head, "Of course not. What I say counts."
Ge Xubai breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
But thinking that she had just forgotten about this matter, Ge Xubai was still a little depressed.
"Really? If I hadn't reminded you just now, I'm afraid you would have forgotten it long ago."
A few days later, she left in a carefree manner, leaving me disturbed.
Ye Hanyi heard the resentment in his tone and felt like a heartless person.
Ye Hanyi turned the tables and said, "It's you who brought the wine. The aftereffect is really too strong. My head still hurts now."
Anyway, it was the wine's fault, it can't be blamed on her.
Upon hearing this, Ge Xubai's momentum of going to war to accuse someone immediately disappeared, and he showed concern instead.
"Does your head still hurt? I'll have someone make you a bowl of hangover soup."
Just as he was about to make arrangements, Ye Hanyi stopped him immediately.
"No, no, it's not that serious. It will be fine in a while."
Ge Xubai confirmed it again and again before giving up.
He thought they would leave today, and for the first time, Ge Xubai felt such a strong reluctance to let them go.
Fortunately, they would not leave for a few more days, and he felt a slight sense of relief.
"I will discuss our matter with Master and have him send someone to southern Yunnan to propose marriage as soon as possible."
His tone was serious, and Ye Hanyi finally showed some discomfort on his face.
"I have nothing but my sincere heart, and I only hope that your father and mother will not abandon me."
Ye Hanyi thought that her parents would probably not object to the person she liked.
What's more, he is Gu Qishan's apprentice.
But she didn't say this, so as not to make the man proud.
Ye Hanyi couldn't keep the secret, so she quickly told Lu Zhiran the whole story.
Lu Zhiran couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "If it were a girl from Beijing, she would at most give a little gift to express her feelings. But you're so bold that you openly ask if she's willing to be a son-in-law of the Ye family. You have a very good personality."
Ye Hanyi chuckled, "It's just a matter of talking, if it works then that's the best, but if it doesn't I'll just leave. Maybe I'll never see you again in this lifetime, so there's nothing to worry about."
It was because of drinking that she thought what happened last night was a dream and almost let the duck that was in her mouth fly away.
Lu Zhiran admired Ye Hanyi's free and easy attitude, and also felt a little envious.
Having lived two lives, she has to weigh the pros and cons before doing anything, and is no longer as simple and direct as before.
Lu Zhiran thought of the criteria for choosing a son-in-law that Ye Hanyi had discussed before. She said that she wanted to find someone who was good at martial arts and also good-looking. It seemed that Ge Xubai really pleased her, otherwise she would not have been so decisive.
Xiao Yanci soon found out about this.
He learned this from Gu Qishan.
Ge Xubai expressed his feelings to Gu Qishan and asked him to handle the marriage proposal on his behalf.
After hearing this, Gu Qishan was surprised at first, and then an indescribable complexity appeared on his face.
"You have good taste, the Ye family's daughter is indeed very good."
He seemed to be talking about Ye Hanyi, but also seemed to be talking about someone else.
Ge Xubai was a little nervous, "With my status as a disciple, can this be accomplished?"
Gu Qishan looked at him and said, "You are indeed marrying above your station."
Ge Xubai's parents and relatives are all gone. Relying on his bravery, he caught the eye of Gu Qishan. Under Gu Qishan's training, he gradually came to the fore and made great achievements.
Gu Qishan recommended merit for him in this battle, so he should be able to be promoted, but no matter how high he is promoted, he will never be able to reach the level of the Southern Yunnan Palace.
Ge Xubai knows his own limitations, but a young man's love is hard to come by, and he doesn't want to give up.
Gu Qishan paused, "Your only advantage is that you are my disciple. I have risked my reputation to act as a matchmaker for you. Perhaps there is a glimmer of hope."
Since he left southern Yunnan, he has not had any contact with his old friends.
He didn't dare to recall the past, nor did he dare to get entangled with the past, for fear that he would lose control of his heart and do irrational things.
He never expected that he would meet an old friend in Xiping one day, and he never expected that his apprentice would have such thoughts.
It's rare to see my apprentice come to his senses, but I don't know if my old face still has any weight and whether I can make this marriage happen.
"I can only try my best, but if it doesn't work, don't force it."
