MTL - Marrying The Villain-Chapter 46 matchmaker
Yu Lingxi thought of the ice bed in her previous life.
She stared blankly at Ning Yin, her lips slightly parted, and asked what she had been wondering for a long time: "If a person dies and the lamp goes out, he can rest in peace. Isn't it because he hates a person that his body is sealed?"
Ning Yin showed contempt, which is the way of ordinary people.
"The people who really hate it have to be alive and tossing to have fun. If they die before they have time to toss, they can directly kill the corpse and throw it out to feed the dogs."
Ning Yin said the most ruthless words in the softest tone, and asked back with a sneer, "Isn't it stupid to keep Feng by your side and add trouble?"
Thinking back carefully, this was indeed the case in previous lives.
Yu Lingxi's eyes widened even further: "So if you freeze a dead person in a secret room, are you... reluctant?"
Ning Yin swallowed the spicy plum meat carefully, and a layer of beauty appeared on her lips and the corners of her eyes.
That look was clearly asking her: Shouldn't things be locked up if they are used to their heart's content?
Unrestrained and paranoid, but it is indeed Ning Yin's style.
An absurd thought floated up in Yu Lingxi's mind, but she felt it was impossible.
Her body after death was indeed sealed in the secret room, but Ning Yin came here drunk that day, and then sealed the secret room, and no one was allowed to mention it.
There is no such thing as what he just said, seeing each other every day.
The only thing she can be sure of is that Ning Yin does not hate her. Even if she was the poisoned vessel to assassinate him.
Yu Lingxi has not yet figured out where the contradictions come from.
"Are you afraid?" Ning Yin leaned over, and a chuckle came from her ear.
He glanced down at Yu Lingxi's complicated expression, and raised his hand to touch the top of her hair.
Under the shadow, Yu Lingxi twitched her eyelashes and closed her eyes subconsciously.
Ning Yin just twirled away a crape myrtle petal stained on her maid's hair, rubbed the soft petals with her fingertips, and said lightly: "What are you afraid of? Didn't show up."
The deep and slow tone is quite meaningful.
Yu Lingxi opened her eyes, looked at Ning Yin's dark pupils bathed in light, and said softly but firmly, "I'm not afraid, Ning Yin."
She was talking about Ning Yin.
When the name came out of her mouth, there was always a kind of tenderness and firmness that transcended time and space, and spanned life and death.
Ning Yin looked at her for a long time, the corner of her mouth moved, and then raised her hand.
This time, the slender and powerful palm gently covered the top of her hair, as if stroking a cat.
Back in the wing room, Yu Lingxi sat on the bed covered with jade mats, looking at the plum-blossom brush with a black tip on the pen stand.
After a long time, he gently touched his beating heart. It was hot and a little sore there.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the shade room is not lit.
Ning Yin was leaning against the head of the couch in a loose middle coat, with apricot white ribbons wrapped around his slender fingers, glowing white under the lingering moonlight.
The dark compartment of the low cabinet next to the couch was wide open, and inside lay quietly a paper kite with a repaired broken wing, and five-color long-lived strands that had passed the season.
…
Madam Yu was worried that her new daughter-in-law would not get used to it when she first married, so she asked Yu Lingxi to go and relax with her often.
Even if A Niang didn't say it, Yu Lingxi would.
After all, because of her previous life, Yu Lingxi had a very good impression of her new sister-in-law, not to mention that her brothers and sisters both had official duties, so it was rare for her to find a peer she could get along with in the mansion.
"how?"
Su Wan **** the bride's bun, her big cat-like eyes flickered, and she waited expectantly for sister-in-law's reaction.
Yu Lingxi twirled the red bean cake made by Su Guan and took a bite.
The sweetness on the tip of the tongue is enough to wipe away all the worries.
Yu Lingxi nodded and praised sincerely: "It's delicious!"
Su Guan smiled contentedly, and took another piece of flower cake for Yu Lingxi, then put the rest in a food box and prepared to give it to Yu Huanchen to taste later.
Seeing the salt and pepper plums in Yu Lingxi's cup, Su Wan was full of curiosity, and asked in a low voice, "Your sister is sour?"
"It's spicy." Yu Lingxi explained.
"Then, can I have a taste?" Su Wan asked.
Yu Lingxi thought for a while, then untied the small pouch on her waist, and put another salt-and-pepper plum in the teacup. After the smell melted, she handed it to Su Wan.
Su Guan sniffed, took a small sip rather delicately, blinked, covered her lips with a handkerchief and said, "Slightly sour and spicy, very special taste."
"Really?" Yu Lingxi laughed.
After the girls exchanged preferences, they would always get closer. The two stools got closer and closer, and finally they simply sat together and chatted.
When Yu Huanchen came back from court, he saw his newly married wife and Yaomei sitting next to each other on the swing, reading a book together.
Under the shade of summer, the sun sprinkled gold-like spots, one of them is exquisite and lovely, the other is beautiful and bright, the wind blows their cloaks fluttering, like a vivid picture of beauties.
Yu Huanchen cleared his throat calmly.
Su Wan immediately raised her head, stood up and greeted her, "Husband is back?"
Yu Huanchen glanced at his lovely wife, then quickly turned his gaze away, and said "Mmm" in a low voice.
"The weather is hot, my husband is busy with work, it's hard work."
Su Wan thoughtfully took the herbal tea from the maidservant, and handed it over with a smile, "My husband uses tea."
As soon as Yu Huanchen took the tea, Su Wan held the red bean cake again and said, "I made the sweets myself, husband, try it?"
She yelled "husband" sweetly, even Yu Huanchen, who had sworn at the beginning that he didn't like "Jiao Didi's lady", couldn't help but turn red, showing a bit of sweet embarrassment.
Yu Lingxi swayed on the swing one after another, covered her face with a scroll, and rolled her eyes with a smile.
Smiling and laughing, I remembered Ning Yin's gorgeous red eyes that night, and the heart-wrenching sentence "Let her stay by my side even if I die"...
Is it true that the feelings in the world are not the same, but have thousands of moods?
Xia Ri was sleepy and thoughtful, recently she thought about Ning Yin and her previous life more often, and every time she came to a new conclusion, she would always be overturned by deeper doubts.
As noon approached, the sun gradually became hotter.
The young couple in front of him were newlyweds, and Yu Lingxi didn't want to disturb her, so she got up with her wandering thoughts, bid farewell and went back to the house.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Hu Tao coming over with sweat on his nose, and said impatiently: "Miss, General Zhongwu's Mansion and Cheng'anbo Mansion both sent people to come to matchmaking."
"A matchmaker?"
Yu Lingxi asked, "To whom?"
"Of course it's you, Miss! It is said that at the Major General's wedding banquet a few days ago, all the children from the aristocratic families in the capital came. Seeing the beauty of the lady, many people were moved to propose marriage. Today, two families came. "
Speaking of this, Hu Tao was both happy and worried.
I am happy because the lady has more choices, and I am worried because I am afraid that the lady will delay the marriage.
After all, no matter how much the lady loves the guard, she can't overcome the natural barrier of status and family status. And Xue Erlang has a deep affection for the young lady, not to mention the general and his wife, even their servants are in his eyes.
Yu Lingxi wasn't very happy, she just sighed and secretly had a headache.
This time, what reason do you have to refuse?
…
Hot days are the peak season for teahouses in Beijing to attract customers.
Some famous buildings exclusively for high-ranking officials and dignitaries have also launched a lot of ice drinks and crispy mountain cheese with all kinds of flavors.
Prince Cheng Anbo shook his paper fan, and his friends sat opposite each other. After exchanging pleasantries, the topic naturally turned to the other party's marriage.
One of them said: "I heard that the son intends to marry the youngest daughter of General Yu's mansion. Here, I congratulate the son on his great joy!"
Cheng Anbo's son suppressed his small thoughts, pretending to be humble and said: "It's just the order of the parents, there is no definite number."
"Hey, what the son said is different. General Yu has a heavy army in his hand. He is the master of defense. The emperor is afraid. He will definitely not be engaged to the loyal general who is also an outstanding general. And Xue Erlang, it is said that he had a relationship with the eldest lady of the Yu Mansion. As for the marriage contract, the Xue family is the most self-restraining and courteous, and will not change the contract easily... From this point of view, you are the only son left."
Another person put a folding fan on Prince Cheng'an's shoulder, and said with a smile: "What's more, Prince Zhilan Yushu, especially the one-handed painting is exquisite, comparable to Xue Erlang, who doesn't like it?"
Prince Cheng Amber really thought so.
Although he has the status of the eldest son, the Cheng'anbo Mansion has declined after several generations and has no real power, so he is the most suitable candidate for marriage with the Yu Mansion.
However, he was indeed displeased. What he disliked most in his life was comparing him with Xue Erlang.
He has practiced Danqing for nearly twenty years, and he can only say "worthy to be on par with Xue Erlang".
What kind of thing is he, Xue Erlang, who is also worthy of being the ruler of men in the world?
The previous person seemed to be aware of his displeasure, and said with a smile: "It's the fate of the son, we married young, there is no chance to fight!"
Cheng Amber's son felt a little better.
Talented people are affectionate and love beauties the most. The second girl Yu is recognized as the number one beauty in the whole capital, so why not do it?
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of light and chaotic footsteps coming from behind the partition screen, and then, a young woman in elegant clothes rushed over and fell into the arms of Prince Cheng Anbo in a hurry.
Behind her, two fierce men chased after her.
The teacup in Shizi's hand was knocked over and wet his lower garment, he couldn't help frowning: "Girl, you..."
"My lord, save me!" The woman raised her teary face, her temple hairpins were loose, she was panting slightly, and she was extremely fragile.
She smelled very fragrant and silky, and Cheng Amber was stunned by the smell, and he couldn't help but put his hands on her neck.
"Young master..."
It wasn't until his timid voice sounded low that he came back to his senses and murmured, "What did the girl just say?"
"The little girl came to Beijing alone to find relatives, but was tricked and sold into a brothel, please help me!"
The woman stretched out her hand and gently tugged at Shizi's sleeve, her tear-stained winking eyes were tender and pitiful.
All men have hero complexes, especially passionate men.
The sweet fragrance wafted away, and Prince Cheng Anbo put his arms around the woman's waist instead, protecting her behind his back, and said to the two villains, "How much silver did she sell you for? This prince redeemed it."
The two friends didn't have time to persuade, they looked at each other.
At night, it's time to close.
The boy in black sat leaning against the railing in the private room, playing with the teacup, and cast his gaze somewhere in the street outside the window.
Under the dim lights in front of the teahouse, the woman who was rescued by Prince Cheng Amber a few days ago stood quite nervously. Looking closely, one could see a bit of romanticism from her expression and behavior.
She said something in a low voice, and the broken halberd standing in the shadows threw out a heavy money bag and a medicine bottle.
The woman caught it in a hurry, and left with gratitude.
…
Ning Yin has been too quiet these past few days, she never wandered in front of her eyes for several days.
Yu Lingxi remembered how sullen and ruthless he was because of Xue Cen's marriage proposal, and seeing that he was silent now, he felt a little guilty for no reason.
Just when he thought of a way to refuse the marriage, he heard Hu Tao who went to inquire about the situation, saying that both the eldest son of the Zhongwu General's mansion and the son Cheng Anbo had canceled the marriage proposal.
"General Zhou's eldest son broke his leg on the second day of his marriage. I don't know who heard some magic stick say that he and the young lady are incompatible, and his fate is against him. If he gets married, he will die in a foreign land. He was so frightened that Mr. Zhou yelled at him when he went back. Kiss!"
Hu Tao's cheeks were flushed with anger, and he even gestured and said: "There is also the son of Cheng Amber, who gets angry when he mentions this slave! He has a concubine who is like a vixen, and he is fascinated by all kinds of things. Cheng Amber was so angry that he wanted to marry the girl into the house as a constant companion, and he was ashamed to propose marriage to the lady! Thanks to the fact that they are like dogs outside, their personal morality is so unbearable!"
Among the few people who are expected to get married, only Xue Erlang is still clean and self-conscious, and keeps his heart as before.
Hu Tao thought indignantly, but Yu Lingxi was surprised for a moment, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Miss!"
Hu Tao pouted, "Why are you still laughing?"
Tian fulfilled people's wishes, so of course Yu Lingxi wanted to laugh.
The eldest son of Zhou is a general, and he is most afraid of dying in battle, so the magic stick persuades him with his life; the son of Cheng Anbo, relying on his talent and affection, is suddenly fascinated by a woman...
It's as if someone caught their weakness, too coincidental.
But this was just right, these few people retreated by themselves, so as not to waste her time talking.
I am in a good mood, even the sky is brighter, and I feel refreshed.
Hu Tao complained about the troubled marriage of the master, and then said: "By the way, miss, just now, the Qingping Township Juntuo of Tanggong's mansion invited you to go on a night tour and watch the lanterns together on Qiqiao Festival."
After she reminded her, Yu Lingxi remembered that Qixi Festival would be in half a month.
Yu Lingxi remembered that in her previous life, on the seventh day of the seventh year, her uncle wanted to take her to a banquet to curry favor with the royal relatives.
That was the first time she saw the real face under the false mask of her uncle, and she was shocked and seriously ill.
When she recovered from her illness and all the dead leaves in the courtyard fell, Yu Lingxi realized that all the royal relatives her uncle wanted to curry favor with were dead. There was a big exchange of blood between the court and China, and Ning Yin's name rose overnight, shocking the world.
Yu Lingxi didn't know what happened in the court in those few short months. Everything was wiped clean, and everyone was silent.
All she knew was that if Ning Yin's plan went well, he would leave the Yu Mansion in a short time.
Strange, this is the ending she knew from the beginning, but today she suddenly thought of it, and she felt unprepared.
The wind blew across the surface of the waterside pool, and the waves lasted for a long time.
There are many melons and fruits in summer, and fruit farmers often carry grapes, melons, etc. that they can't finish, and sell them in the streets.
The people below followed the trend, instead of caramel, they sold grapes.
When Ning Yin came back, she had a bunch of grapes in her hand, washed them, peeled them slowly and ate them.
Seeing Yu Lingxi sitting alone in the water pavilion lost in thought, he paused and walked slowly towards her.
He has not been in a good mood these past few days, there are too many mad bees and butterflies, and he can't finish it. What's more, there is Xue Cen, a fool who doesn't like oil and salt, waiting for his young lady to fall into his arms with his mouth open...
Think about it and you will be shocked.
It means that he has become better now and doesn't like to kill people.
Otherwise, those few people should have been chopped up and turned into flower fertilizer.
With a chill on his face, Yu Lingxi turned around suddenly, and met Ning Yin's dark and handsome eyes.
Resting on her face was a bunch of purple-skinned grapes with water droplets on them.
"Ning...Wei Qi, what have you been doing these days?"
Yu Lingxi's eyes lit up, and then she let out a soft and sparkling light, "Where did the grapes come from?"
She didn't know what she was thinking, but she was so dazed that she almost called out his real name.
Ning Yin picked a grape, peeled off the skin carefully, and stuffed the pulp into her mouth with hands wet with juice.
He pressed his fingertips on her lips vaguely, then withdrew calmly, leaving traces of wetness and coldness.
Yu Lingxi froze for a moment, then frowned at the stimulation of the juice in her chest.
Where did he find such sour grapes!
"Is it sour?" Ning Yin asked.
Yu Lingxi nodded hastily, trembling with soreness.
Ning Yin laughed, nodded and said, "It's right to be sour."
With the hand that touched her lips just now, he picked a grape and put it between his lips, and ate it without changing his expression.
Yu Lingxi looked at him for a while, as if she had made up her mind, she asked, "Wei Qi, is there anything you want?"
The two have been together for so long, it seems that she hasn't seriously asked Ning Yin's needs.
If he is going to leave in the future, I have to keep it in mind.
Ning Yin glanced at her and swallowed the grapes slowly.
As if reminiscing about something delicious, Shen smiled and asked, "Anything is fine?"
