eg and rolling around in pain. 。Aunt Two also cried out and rushed over to check on his injured leg, but as soon as she touched him, Uncle Two cried out in pain. 。The pallbearers saw that they couldn'...>> 。Don't mention please or anything like that. We're siblings, so there's no need for formalities. Just tell me what to do and I'll do my best. 。As for the dowry… My dear, let’s not speak of this matter again. 。“What do you mean Why didn’t you mention it Didn’t Big Brother already get engaged”Night Feiyu sighed, “He did get engaged. We had exchanged greetings with the other family a few times before, and our parents were all polite and courteous.” 。I don't know why, but after the earth dragon overturned this time, I went to their house twice, but they didn't even let me in the door. Their attitude was cold and indifferent, like strangers. 。“Think about it again, and add, “It’s better to be a stranger, I would avoid them at all costs."> 。"Why is that" she asked, confused. "What did my elder brother go to her house for" "He just went to see if everything was alright at home, if anyone was hurt." 。"As for the night-flying jade, after the earth dragon turned over, those close families in the capital would visit each other. This is human nature, but I don't know why her family acted this way. So I feel that this marriage might involve something else." 。"
Ye Wen pondered for a moment, then asked Ye Feiyu: "Which family is betrothed to your brother What is their name and surname What rank is their official position in the court"
Ye Feiyu was startled, "You don't know"
She felt a little embarrassed, "I... I might have forgotten" 。"Thinking again, she shook her head. “It’s not that I forgot. I remember everything from before. It’s just that…I don’t know. My parents never mentioned it to me, and there wasn’t any big celebration at home.” 。"Ye Feiyu sighed again, "Perhaps Father and Mother thought you were too young at the time, so they didn't tell you about it..." 。" She felt a little embarrassed. "Maybe it's not just my age. Maybe they just think I'm not very responsible, that I don't take care of things at home, and that I'm always thinking about the Duke of Su's mansion." 。So, whether you come with me or not doesn't really matter, brother. Don't blame me. 。“It’s okay.” Night Feiyu reached out to rub her head, “It’s not your fault.” 。Our conversation was good in the past, and it's still good now. Seeing you sitting here talking is a great comfort to me. 。My marriage was arranged by my father three years ago. I was two years old at the time, and it was to Miss Yu Xun Gi of the Lin An City Yu family. 。“The Yu family” Ye Wenyan thought for a moment, then still shook his head. “I haven’t heard of it, but I remember when we talked about this marriage, my parents didn’t mention who the other party was in front of me, but it seemed like my mother was not very satisfied, somewhat disdainful of their family's officials. For this, she even argued with my father.” 。Then how did it get decided What rank was their family" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。"Ye Feiyu," her father, Yu Changwen, was the magistrate of the Ministry of Justice, serving under Jiang Shangshu and securing appointments. 。Yu Xuanyin is the eldest daughter of the Yu family, and there are three younger half-sisters below her. 。"Department Head of Criminal Justice Sixth Rank" Ye Wen listened, frowning deeply. 。Although she wasn't particularly sensitive to official ranks and titles, she didn't think that marrying into an official family would be inappropriate for a high-ranking or noble family. 。But she had such thoughts because she came from the future, where social classes were not so clearly defined. However, in this era, people still placed great importance on them. 。The eldest son of the one-star general's mansion is betrothed to the daughter of a sixth-rank official. Normally, a sixth-rank official wouldn't be considered suitable for a family like the general's mansion, and their children rarely interacted with each other. 。"Minister of Justice, could it be that this marriage was arranged by Minister Jiang Did you simply think the Yu family was honorable and their daughter virtuous If so, then you truly underestimate the unseen father." 。It's probably not as wonderful as she thinks. 。Yefeiyu continued to speak with her, "Mother indeed doesn't approve, nor is it that she completely thinks the families are not suitable. Mother just feels that Father is too cautious and has wronged his own child." 。He won't let me take the palace exams, and he won't let me marry a woman from a suitable family. What am I supposed to get by being so careful But my father does have his reasons. Back then, the Night Family held military power, and the imperial court was wary of them. He always said that if the Night Family continued to prosper, the court would see us as a huge threat. 。So my father wouldn't let me take the palace exam, he forbade me from practicing martial arts, and he wouldn't even allow me to become a civil servant. 。It's best to live an ordinary life, never seeking power or high office. 。So he favored the Yu family because their official positions were leisurely, and the Yu daughters were known for being gentle and virtuous. His father, having met them once, found them quite satisfactory. 。" Ye Wen listened and felt a little angry, "Have you only met once How can you tell if it's good Once you meet, even someone with bad intentions can pretend to be quiet and virtuous. What's more, you've only met..." 。That time when he was just seen, even Wenjing's prudence couldn't tell. He probably didn't even speak, just glanced at him from afar. At most, he could only see if his appearance was decent. 。As for his personality, he was completely clueless. 。“
She waved her hand here, “I’m not here for Yu Jiajie. I don’t know her, so I don’t want to comment on her. I’m only here for our father” 。"He tried hard to recall his father, remembering many things, but he didn't have a deep impression. 。Because his father was away for years, especially in the later years when his grandfather grew old and frail, many military affairs were entrusted to him. As a result, he became busier and had fewer holidays back in Beijing. 。Anyone who could spare time to return to Beijing, would either accompany the Mu family or reside in a camp outside the city. They would also make time to reminisce with old friends in the capital. 。These children haven't had much contact with their father. 。"Brother, how many times a year can you see Father"Ye Feiyu didn't understand why she asked that, but still replied, "At most three times" 。Once a year during Chinese New Year, once during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was one time in the summer, but no more after that. 。And every time they return, they are not allowed to stay at home for more than three or five days, then they have to move to the camp outside Beijing. 。When I was little, I would see my mother more often. My father really liked to hold me, even when we were eating, he would hold me on his lap. 。Unfortunately, I was too young at the time and have no memory of it. 。“ So, actually, we don't really understand that father figure, do we” Ye Feiyu frowned, “Yan’er, what do you mean by that” She shook her head, “It’s nothing, just that there are some things I didn't think much of before, but now that I think about it, there seem to be many places that can't stand scrutiny.” 。She gave Ye Feiyu several examples— "For example, when the old madam wanted to take away Ye Lianmiao, would she just give her up That's his daughter, and besides, his mother didn't agree at the time." 。Furthermore, they wouldn't let you take the palace exam even though you passed both the provincial and metropolitan exams. You were clearly a promising candidate. Why wouldn't they let you take the palace exam Is it because they are afraid of the Ye family If the court truly feared them, they would simply not give you an official title or just fail your palace exam papers. Why go so far as to stifle your future like this
She grew increasingly indignant. "Father was so cautious, but grandfather could even beg the Sixth Prince for a marriage arrangement for me, only wanting to fulfill my wish." 。And most importantly, there’s one question I’ve always wanted to ask: who told him that in order to keep the family peaceful at night, we couldn't be too outstanding It definitely wasn't our grandfather, was it"
Ye Feiyu also froze, his sister’s words coming one after another, questioning him until he started to doubt his own life.
Yes, who told the father to suppress these children Although the grandfather also knows that the night family cannot be too outstanding, he also remembers that his ancestors said that each generation has its own blessings. If they want to succeed, they should go take the imperial examinations. Even if they really have the ability to lead troops and fight, it's not impossible to study military strategy and swords. 。The court's thoughts are the court's business. If they truly don't want to use the Ye family anymore, they would naturally discard the Ye family children's applications and wouldn't favor their abilities. 。But these things that are being eliminated should be handled by the court, the Ye family need not do them all themselves and thus cut off the future prospects of their descendants. 。How did they end up here, and why were his several children all treated so badly Seeing Ye Feiyu remain silent, Ye Wenyan put forward another crucial point: "Brother, these thoughts were instilled in Father by the old lady, weren't they Then I boldly guess that Eldest Sister's marriage isn't going well either. What rank is her betrothed" Ye Feiyu told her: "Fifth rank..." 。“She was almost laughing, “This is really ridiculous. ” 。Men can marry down, but women generally expect to marry up. Even if they don't marry someone significantly higher in status, at least their husband's family should be comparable to theirs. 。Of course, if the elder sister truly has feelings for the son of that fifth-rank official, and if the young master is a good person with a bright future, it would certainly be worth considering. Just forget what I said before. 。"But brother, you tell me, when father arranged this marriage for elder sister, did he consider these things" Night Flying Jade shook his head with great difficulty. “No, this marriage wasn't even chosen by father, it was chosen by the old madam.” 。When I heard their words, the old lady said that marrying into a high-ranking family would be dangerous for Lady Qingmei. So she must marry someone lower in status, the lower the better. This way, it would show the court our attitude and prove that the Ye family has no ambitions. 。The old madam still, low gate good to control. In the future, Qingmei marries over, at home must be calculated, no one will give her face. 。“ As he reminisced about the past, he continued, “Actually, it wasn't just Qingmei's marriage that was arranged by Old Madam. My own marriage was also orchestrated by her, using pretty much the same lines and tactics. Father just happened to fall for them.” 。"Brother, don't you feel something is off" Ye Feiyu sighed with distress, "I know what you mean, and I myself understand..." 。The father listens too much to his wife. He never considers any request, he just nods whenever she mentions it, including our marriage. 。"But Mother, there must be a reason why Father acts this way..."
&l!--ver--&gwine" 。The man surnamed Liu was so angry that he screamed and rushed over to fight Ye Wenyan. 。The result was that even the corner of her clothing wasn't touched by his warm words, and she was slappe...
