Chapter 32: distance

The wedding date is approaching, and the relationship between the two brothers and sisters has not yet eased. Ye Huaixin's many mediations have been useless, because both of them are stubborn to the extreme.
Ye Huaili applied for a short break from the Ministry of War, and he did not go to court or return to the customs. It looked like he hadn’t moved. In fact, he had already mobilized the Ye family’s people to stare at Chu Jinglan, and Xunxiu had deliberately returned to his home day and night. I was looking for him, but was told that he had gone to the Tianque Tower, and when he went to the building, he was there.
"Big Brother."
Ye Huaixin greeted him and walked in. Unexpectedly, he smelled the smell of wine. He stared at it. There was a pot of Yuchen on the long rosewood case, as if it had just been opened. The wine glass next to it was missing, and he was holding it in the night. Huai Li's hands.
"sit."
Ye Huaili sat facing out of the window, turned around after drinking the remaining liquor, and didn't ask Ye Huaixin what was wrong with him, only filled the other glass, and pushed it in front of Ye Huaixin.
"Try it."
Ye Huaixin didn't like to drink at all, and she had something in her heart, and she didn't have the patience to taste it slowly. After swallowing it all up, she couldn't wait to open her mouth and said, "Big Brother, have you considered what I told you the day before yesterday? "
"You have been an official in the court for more than two months, why are you still so uncomfortable." Ye Huaili rebuked him lightly, but did not answer his question directly.
Ye Huaixin said angrily: "I'm not as calm as you guys! One keeps himself in the room all day, and the other doesn't care about everything, but I am anxious! Is it possible that I want to get married? "
"She is not in a hurry. What are you anxious about? Let's see if King Youlan who has lost the Ye family will take care of her.
Ye Huaili seems to believe that Ye Huaiyang’s marrying Chu Jinglan will not have a good result. Ye Huaixin was waiting to refute, but he saw him staring downstairs without blinking, and looking along his line of sight, unexpectedly discovered The figure of Chu Jinglan!
To be precise, he was not the only one on Xuanwu Street, but a strangely long motorcade parked from below the Tianque Tower to the North City Gate, still pouring in, as if far away. Although the cars are covered with dark curtains and guards are extremely tight, it can be seen from the tracks that they are not ordinary items.
"Brother, who are those?"
"It's from the Meng family, and the car is packed with gifts from the north."
The Meng family? So...this was sent by King Lan's uncle Meng Qi?
Ye Huaixin looked over there again for a few more times. As expected, he could see the unique taste of the Northland from the car's decorations and the dress of the guards, but the person in the lead seemed a bit strange. He was obviously a man, but his appearance Very feminine, and very delicate when walking, Chu Jinglan deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with him. When passing by uneven places, he would stretch out his hand and look very intimate.
"This is the husband-in-law she chose."
Ye Huaili hummed heavily, turned his back and no longer looked downstairs, but Ye Huaixin seemed to have opened his eyes because of this sentence. He stared carefully for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed, "That's a woman!"
"She is Meng Qi's young girl." Ye Huaili glanced at him, her face gloomy and unclear, "Is Tianqi Building not doing things well or Yang'er didn't tell you?"
Ye Huaixin choked. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that the relationship between that woman and Chu Jinglan was extraordinary. Otherwise, Ye Huaili would not deliberately mention it. He couldn't help thinking when he watched the two talking and laughing. He ran downstairs to ask what happened, but was coldly stopped by Ye Huaili.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
"Go and learn about the customs and education in the Northland, and ask them if the men in the family are dead, so they sent a woman to give a gift before someone else's wedding!"
"You are rushing to make a big fuss, how will you let Yang'er meet people in the future?"
This sentence suddenly awakened Ye Huaixin.
Yes, he turned around so recklessly and didn't know how others were talking about her secretly. How could she endure the malicious slander because she was so arrogant? Thinking of this, Ye Huaixin slowly withdrew his steps, turned around and looked at the huge motorcade that was gradually disappearing downstairs, his face sinking bit by bit.
The convoy traveled unimpeded all the way, and soon reached the gate of Prince Lan. Chu Jinglan got out of the car first, and then a small soft hand climbed onto his arm, and fell to the ground with him.
"Cousin, is this your residence in the royal capital? It is about the same size as the place where we live in Beidi."
"It's almost the same." Chu Jinglan responded indifferently, with a much softer tone than usual, "Come in."
The two walked slowly to the atrium, and three roads separated around the circular flowerbed, leading to the bedroom, the water pavilion, and the Zhongxiao Pavilion. Originally, Chu Jinglan wanted to take Meng Chen to rest, but she was hesitant to move. .
"Cousin, I want to walk around."
"Didn't you just sleepy?"
Meng Chen smiled softly, revealing two small pear vortexes, "I'm sleepy, but it's almost noon now, and I can't sleep for long. It's better to take a stroll in the palace first and measure it. Is there any place to put the little things my brother asked me to bring? If there are none, it will be miserable. I have to travel a long way to transport them back."
The gadget in her mouth is actually a well-made mechanism, arranged around the palace to prevent the assassins from attacking. Her brother studied this all the year round, and she also learned some fur. They started to do it after they heard about the fierce battle in the palace. Bring the opportunity to install it.
Chu Jinglan understood their intentions, with a rare warmth on his face, handsome and charming.
"Don't worry, if I can't pretend, I'll let them deal with it. You can just tell them to pretend to be installed, so you don't have to be scolded.
"Then I won't go back at all, I'll be here every day, so as not to worry all the time to eat." Meng Chen smiled and took his arm, pulling him to the left Zhongxiao Pavilion, "the vision from there. The most open, I will go up and see to know where to put those things."
Chu Jinglan looked at the top floor where the doors and windows were closed, and the corners of his lips pressed slightly.
Accompanied by the fresh breeze and the fragrance of magnolia, Meng Chen quickly climbed to the top floor. Meng Chen held the table and panted for a while, then opened the door to the terrace and stood by the railing and looked down. She couldn't help but raise her finger and stroked it out of thin air.
"Cousin, you can set one in the open space in the front yard, or one on the side of the water pavilion. It's a bit crowded on the Fuyuxuan side, but it's okay to find a way..."
Chu Jinglan responded in a shallow voice: "You will arrange everything."
Meng Chen nodded his head, his heart was broadened, and his eyebrows stretched out, with a touch of tenderness.
"The capital city is really in danger. I knew I should come back with you from the beginning. Even if I can't help you, it's good to take care of your diet and daily life nearby."
"Since you know the danger here, you shouldn't come here." Chu Jinglan looked down at her with a look of helplessness, "I don't care what you say to persuade your uncle to let you come here, and I will go back to the north as soon as the wedding is over. "
A gleam of light flashed in Meng Chen's eyes, which disappeared instantly, and when he raised his head again, he still looked gentle and gentle.
"I know, I listen to you, ah, by the way, I almost forgot this."
She took out an auspicious beast jade pendant from Luo's sleeve, with a silver Ruyi head inlaid on the head, tied with silk back to the dragon's whisker. The quality is superb. The style is clearly prepared for Chu Jinglan.
"This piece of jade was carved by a mother's choice, and I personally took it to the temple to open it with the eight-character birth date. It can keep you safe. She told you to take it away."
The corners of Chu Jinglan's lips raised slightly and said, "Go back and thank my aunt for me."
Meng Chen groaned, "If my family said anything to thank you, I will tie it up for you."
After that, she rolled up her clothes and squatted down, about to tie the silk to Chu Jinglan's belt, but unexpectedly saw another piece of jade pendant. Chu Jinglan looked down when she saw that she had stopped moving, but suddenly Stunned.
That was the sapphire lotus leaf double carp that Ye Huaiyang gave him.
Jade Pei has been inseparable since she tied the knot on it on New Year's Eve. He has forgotten or is used to it, and has not solved it. He has carried it with him for half a year without knowing it.
He still remembered what she said at the time. If you are a good man, I will be happy.
The memory is like a thread. When it is pulled out, it can't be held anymore. Every detail of getting along with Ye Huaiyang popped up in Chu Jinglan's mind. She smiled beautifully, she was strange and weird, tears like rain At this moment, he suddenly realized that even though the wedding was just there, the distance between them was farther than before.
He hasn't seen Huaiyang overnight for almost a month.
She wouldn’t suddenly appear behind her back and affectionately embrace his neck, nor would she lie on a cashmere rug and read books with her legs up, and she would never talk to him late at night about political affairs until she fell asleep leaning against him, and that root The crossbar between the two pavilions has been unattended for a long time, and it has been covered with thick dust.
Thinking of this, Chu Jinglan involuntarily looked towards the opposite terrace. There seemed to be a figure on the side of the piano table with the light gauze swinging. He wanted to see more clearly and took a step forward. Meng Chen screamed, he looked down. Go, it turned out that he accidentally knocked Meng Chen to sit on the ground, he immediately bent down and pulled her up, but she frowned.
"Cousin, the jade pendant is broken..."
Chu Jinglan looked at her feet, his eyes condensed suddenly.
The sapphire lotus leaf double carp was taken off by Meng Chen at some point, and fell to the ground and split in two. It must have been made when he hit her just now. He was about to bend over to pick it up, but he heard Lingyun Pavilion opening and closing. the sound of.
"Crescent Moon, let Ci Yuan come up and remove Hengmu."
Ye Huaiyang’s voice clearly penetrated into his ears, and the veil was lifted to the highest point by the draught at the same time, and the thin figure was exposed in front of him, his eyes seemed to be immersed in the mountain stream. The coolness swept across his face.
She saw it all.
Meng Chen asked ignorantly: "Cousin, who is that woman? Why did she put a crossbar to our house?"
When he said the last few words, Chu Jinglan obviously felt Ye Huaiyang's eyes cold for another three minutes, and then turned around and left, disappearing into his field of vision.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Meng Chen squatted down and looked at the shattered jade pendant. Soon he held it back in front of him and said gracefully, "Don't be angry, this might be repairable, I will go back and find a jade shop."
Chu Jinglan stared at the sapphire pendant in her hand, his eyes dark and his emotions hard to distinguish.
