Mrs. Wang struggled all night, and when she woke up, she looked haggard.
There was only one result of her discussion with her husband last night, and that was to marry her daughter to Qingzhou. For this reason, my husband wrote the letter overnight and sent it to my hometown early in the morning.
After washing her face and washing her face, she suddenly heard the laughter of her children coming from outside.
On the peach tree in the yard, there was a person crawling danglingly, it was her eldest daughter. But her youngest son couldn't reach the peach branches, so he could only pick them up on the ground with a small basket.
The peach blossoms that were originally a tree were plucked to pieces.
Wang's heart ached for the well-bloomed peach blossoms, "What are you doing?"
"Mom, I'm going to make some peach blossom cakes to feed our little greedy cat."
Ye Zheng patted his chubby little hands, dancing happily, "Peach Blossom Cake, Peach Blossom Cake, delicious Peach Blossom Cake."
Mrs. Wang already loves her children, thinking that Pingniang might feel bored being locked up at home, so she messes around.
Forget it, it's just a tree of peach blossoms, as long as the children are happy.
…
Wen Ruqin stood outside Ye's house, listening to the laughter coming from inside, his face was full of hesitation and hesitation, but there was a trace of longing in his eyes.
She was entrusted by someone, but failed to complete it, and she was tossed and turned overnight.
When I got up early to have dinner with my aunt, my aunt saw her thoughts. Their mother and daughter have always been close, if it wasn't about the reputation of her daughter's family, she wouldn't be entangled. In the end, she still told her aunt, who didn't say whether she was right or wrong, but said that since the matter was not done, it should be reported to the entrusting person.
Therefore, she will have the courage to come here.
The not-so-spacious alley and the simple and plain house number are completely different from the grandeur of the Princess Mansion. Listening to the laughter coming from inside, she thought that this appointment was the fireworks in the world that her aunt said.
Now that you have come, you can't give up halfway.
"Hongsang, go knock on the door."
Hong Sang was a little reluctant, because of her status as a girl, there was no reason for her to come to the door to apologize to the daughter of a petty official. It was the Ye family girl's fault for that matter, she asked to come to the door without prior notice, even if it didn't work out, I can't blame my own girl.
"Red mulberry!"
"Girl, this place is not where you should come." Hong Sang lowered her voice, and at this moment, she already felt that passers-by were looking at her girl. The girl was born with eyes, what should she do if she is offended by someone who does not have eyes.
Wen Ruqin is soft-tempered, but not without temper. She has fair skin, and she is already bullying Xue Saishuang. Once her face is cold, she looks more and more like a beauty carved from ice jade.
Hongsang saw that her girl was really angry, so she had to knock on the door.
"Who is it?" A suspicious question came from inside the door, and then someone ran over to open the door. It was Sanxi who came to open the door, she certainly recognized Wen Ruqin's master and servant. "Wen... Second Miss Wen."
Ye Ping heard the movement, got up and came over.
It's really warm.
What is she here for?
Because she was at home, Ye Ping dressed very simply. She was wearing a slightly worn dress and ordinary cloth shoes on her feet. Her hair was not in a complicated bun, but was only braided in a thick braid, which was tied with a headband and hung on her chest. The face without makeup is clear and bright, looking clean and refreshed.
Wen Ruqin didn't dare to admit it, and became more cautious.
"If Second Miss Wen doesn't mind, come in and have a drink." Ye Ping generously invited.
Hongsang felt disgusted and didn't move.
Wen Ruqin bit her lip and stepped in.
Ye Zheng ran over with a "thump", tilted his head to look at her, and opened his mouth wide open. "Beautiful sister, beautiful sister, prettier than eldest sister."
The childish words instantly made Wen Ruqin blush.
"Xiao Si, this is Second Sister Wen, do you think Second Sister Wen looks like a fairy descending from the sky?" Ye Ping teased her younger brother.
"Fairy, Second Sister Wen is a fairy." Ye Zheng patted his chubby hands, which were still stained with peach petals. "The eldest sister is also a fairy, and fairies play with fairies."
"Yes, we are all little fairies, and fairies and fairies are friends." Ye Ping nodded his younger brother's nose, and smiled at Wen Ruqin: "What the child said is the most true. When a fairy from the heavens descended to the mortal world, it happened to land outside my house."
"I wish you would come to bother me often. You don't know how happy I am. You came just in time. I have nothing to do today. I am planning to pick some peach blossoms to make peach blossom cakes. If you don't mind, you will try my handicraft later. .”
Hong Sang felt disdainful, her girl had never eaten any good food, and she was rare about peach blossom cakes. Just when I wanted to remind my girl a few words, she saw her face blushing and nodding. Secretly thought that Miss Ye really had some tricks. It took only one day to coax her girl into a dizzy state.
At this time, Mrs. Wang also came out, and hurried over to meet each other in shock. Although the seniority is different, due to his status, Wang's curtsy movements are obviously lower than Wen Ruqin's.
Ye Ping knew that Wen Ruqin was not feeling well, and her mother was not feeling well, so she simply asked her to go back to the room to rest. She brought Wen Ruqin under the peach tree, and gave him a small bamboo basket.
Wen Ruqin joined the siblings in a daze, picking peach blossoms with Ye Zheng.
"Sister Fairy, this flower is for you." Ye Zheng held a peach blossom in his small hand and handed it to Wen Ruqin as if offering a treasure.
Ye Ping gave her little brother a thumbs up on the tree, she was so good at such a young age, she deserved to be Ye Ping's younger brother.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye." Wen Ruqin took the peach blossom with a blushing face, her heart overflowing with joy. She looked up at the person on the tree, but saw that the person was looking at her with a smile.
"Flowers match beauties, and Miss Wen is more beautiful than flowers."
Skin made of snow, bones made of jade, what a celestial beauty.
No woman could refuse other people's compliments. The siblings had a fairy and a beauty, and they praised Wen Ruqin to the point of embarrassment and joy.
Picked the peach blossoms and washed them together for later use.
While Ye Ping was making cakes, Wen Ruqin finally explained her intentions.
Ye Ping didn't care, she never thought that Wen Yu would read that letter. She was acting according to Wen Ruyu's wishes, and tested Wen Yu's attitude by the way.
"Would you believe me if I said that I didn't entrust you to deliver it for me?"
"It's not you?" Wen Ruqin was puzzled at first, but then understood. I'm afraid Miss Ye entrusted it to the big hall sister, who didn't want to show up, so she threw the hot potato to herself.
Ye Ping said again: "In fact, I didn't intend to write to the king at all. I know who I am, and I also know that the king can't like me. I am lucky to let the king understand my intentions. I have nothing else to ask for. Last night, when Miss Wen sent someone to give the flower gift, she asked someone to bring a message, and asked me if I wanted to explain something to the county king, and she was willing to convey it for me. That's why I wrote that letter and gave it to the person, thinking it would be for me Miss Wen will hand it over."
"So that's the case. But it's true that I didn't handle the matter well. Now that the letter is in Mr. Song's hands, what should I do?"
"I'd be very happy if you could come and tell me. If you didn't tell me, how would I know the inside story. As for that letter, I didn't write anything. I think that Mr. Song is not a talkative person."
Wen Ruqin thought about it, yes.
Mr. Song will definitely not spread the word.
"Then won't you be sad?"
Ms. Ye must be extremely sad that she likes her second brother so much. Xu was afraid of being seen by others, so he deliberately pretended not to care. For the first time in her life, she suddenly felt that there was a secret between herself and a certain person, and she also knew the difficulty of this person.
Ye Ping lowered her eyes, "Actually, I've already given up. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. This kind of result was already in my expectation, and I can bear it. If you can come to my house today, I have the right to treat you as the one who came to see me." You don't know how happy I am. You can't wait to tell everyone in the world that Miss Wen Er is my friend. But I know in my heart that I can't be your friend. So I treated you like that just to get your attention .Even if I can’t be friends with you, it’s my honor to be an enemy.”
Hong Sang opened her mouth wide, this Miss Ye might really be sick.
Wen Ruqin's face was already moved. She never knew that the person who always helped her eldest sister hurt her before would actually like her so much. In order to get his attention, he was so humble.
"me…"
"It's okay, Second Miss Wen. After a long time, you will see people's hearts, and you will definitely understand my feelings in the future."
…
The peach blossom cake is ready, and the three of them can enjoy it together.
The crust is crispy, sweet and floral.
The former owner is a good cook, Ye Ping's move will not arouse suspicion.
Wen Ruqin had no playmates since she was a child, and the aristocratic ladies looked down on her background, so she has always been excluded in the circle of aristocratic girls. Today is the most relaxed day in her life, and everyone around her likes her.
Miss Ye likes her, and Miss Ye's brother also likes her.
When saying goodbye, the siblings escorted her to the door. Miss Ye's eyes were full of reluctance, and Brother Ye kept waving at her, asking her to come and play again next time. She carried the peach cake into the carriage, the corners of her mouth curled up.
Hongsang was a little conflicted, she really wanted to persuade the girl to stay away from the Ye family, such a small family is not worthy of the girl's low profile. But she had to admit in her heart that the girl had never had such a good time.
"Girl, will you still associate with Miss Ye in the future?"
Wen Ruqin nodded seriously, "Miss Ye likes me, and I found that I also like her a little bit, and I want to be friends with her."
