Chapter 6: Marriage
After Banxia danced, he went back to his room and sat in front of the mirror, stroking the butterfly hairpin in his hand. This is Brother Ye's gift to Banxia, and she thinks about waiting for the banquet to disperse before going to see Brother Ye.
"Miss, Miss, no, no, no." Xiaozhu ran in panting.
"What's wrong, Xiaozhu." Banxia stared at her puzzled.
Xiaozhu took a sip of water, tried to calm himself down, and shouted loudly, "Young Master, you promised Miss to General Dusk." β
"What!" Banxia stood up, the butterfly hairpin in his hand fell to the ground, and with that sound, Banxia's heart was also broken.
"Miss, are you alright?" Xiaozhu looked anxiously at Banxia's empty eyes.
"What?" Banxia touched her face, only to realize that she had burst into tears.
Banxia ran out unwillingly, she didn't believe that Brother Ye would really treat herself like this, he was so good to herself.
When he came to Brother Ye's room, Banxia was about to rush in, when the person in the room spoke: "An Shi, do you really plan to marry Xia Yatou?" "It's my aunt's voice.
"Auntie, Banxia is also a member of the Ye family, this is her responsibility." Ye Anshi said slowly.
"You should know Xia Yatou's mind."
"General Twilight is an upright person, and he likes Banxia, he will be Banxia's beloved." There was not a trace of turbulence in his words, as if Banxia was just an inconsequential person.
When Banxia heard this conversation, it turned out that she was nothing in Brother Ye's heart, and she no longer had the courage to go in, so she lowered her head and turned to leave.
On the way, Banxia couldn't help laughing, and the bits and pieces of the past appeared in front of her eyes, which were originally honey, but now poison.
In the room, "I've done what you asked me to do." Nexperia, you have to think clearly. The aunt held the Buddha beads in her hand, looked at Ye Anshi, and said earnestly.
"Thank you, Auntie." He saluted, no smile on his face.
"This Ye family has bound me all my life, but I didn't expect that you and Xia Yatou were also bound. But I didn't have a choice, and Nexperia now has a choice. My aunt turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and persuaded helplessly.
And he didn't say a word.
My aunt got up, walked to the door, and said, "Anshi, you will regret it." And he departed.
"I don't regret it." Ye Anshi said to the empty room, his face a little more ruthless.
In the past few days, Banxia locked herself in her room and didn't see anyone. Banxia knew that it was impossible, but he still expected Brother Ye to change his mind.
In the room, Banxia lay listlessly on the table. Xiaozhu said helplessly: "Miss, Miss Twilight is here, saying that she wants to thank you." β
Banxia didn't think about it for a while, and asked, "Which Miss Twilight?" β
"It's General Dusk's sister, last time you saved Miss Yin Nuo of Shangshu Mansion, she brought Miss Yin to thank her."
It's over, and you can't hide from it. Banxia shook his head, "See you." β
Before anyone saw him, he heard his voice first, and Twilight's crisp laughter could be heard from outside the room, "I have long heard that my eldest brother's fiancΓ©e is a beautiful woman, and when I see it today, it is really more beautiful than rumored." Yin Nuo, don't you say! β
Yin Nuo nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, I saw Miss Qiao's courage last time. β
As soon as these two people entered the door, they praised people vigorously, and Banxia had no choice but to smile and say, "The two of you have tormented me, I am just a little woman." You two may be seated. β
The two of them sat down, their buttocks had not yet touched their seats, and Twilight Yixin smiled again: "My eldest brother is really blessed to be able to marry such a good person as Miss Gong." By the way, can I call you Banxia? The first time I saw you, I liked you so much. β
"Absolutely." Banxia has a slow temperament, and he can't resist the enthusiasm of this twilight.
Twilight Yixin looked around, "I don't know if my brother is here today?" β
Strange, why did you ask Brother Ye about it. Banxia saw the two suspicious blushes on her face, and immediately understood. She endured the pain in her heart and continued to smile at others, "Brother Ye is not here, what is the matter with Miss Dusk?" β
She lowered her head, trying to hide the shyness of her tears, "Lord Ye went to the Dusk Mansion because of the disappearance case before, and when I took a quick look in the mansion that day, I felt that he was handsome. I heard the eldest brother say that the disappearance case was thanks to Lord Ye's ingenuity, so I wanted to meet him. β
"Yes! If I have the chance, I will definitely talk about Miss Twilight in front of Brother Ye. The tea cup in her hand was painfully held by Banxia, and she refused to let go.
She suddenly smiled, and even there was a smile in her eyes, "Thank you so much for Banxia." β
"Come, drink tea, eat snacks." Banxia pretended to drink tea and diverted the topic. It wasn't until dusk that the two of them left. After sending them away, Banxia collapsed on the chair, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained. Xiaozhu was arranging dinner, but Banxia had no appetite at all.
"Miss, why don't you eat a little. If this continues, your body will not be able to bear it. β
Banxia shook his head and couldn't say anything.
Xiaozhu looked at Banxia's appearance, and stopped talking.
"Tell me, what else can hit me." Banxia looked at her.
"Miss, the wedding date has been set, and it will be the eighth day of the first month of next month."
"Yes! So fast. Banxia smiled self-deprecatingly, "Don't you want to see me so much!" Banxia looked at the door, not knowing what she wanted to see.
In the study, "Miss hasn't eaten for the past few days. The attendant was trembling beside Ye Anshi.
"What do the people in the kitchen do? All go to the top ten boards by themselves. Ye Anshi coaxed angrily, then fell on the chair and said weakly: "Go down." The attendant hurriedly slipped away.
"What sound?" Banxia heard the screams of people.
Xiaozhu slowly confided, "It's the young master who is punishing the people in the kitchen." β
Banxia smiled bitterly, "Let's eat." "There is no need to involve innocent people.
Tomorrow is Banxia's wedding, but she can't be happy. These days, Banxia refuses to see anyone, and General Twilight visits several times, but she refuses on the grounds of a wedding.
Banxia opened the window and looked at the bright moon at night, just like the bright moon on the night when she first came to Yefu, but her mood was different. It was hope, and it was despair.
She walked out of the door and kept walking, kept walking, and when she reacted, she had already arrived in Brother Ye's yard. Banxia stopped, looked at the familiar courtyard, shook his head, turned around, and prepared to leave.
There seemed to be a figure standing in the pavilion in the distance, and in the dim light, the back seemed so thin, Banxia walked in, it was him, and tears suddenly flowed out like a broken embankment, and the strength of his feet to take a step disappeared.
Xu felt Banxia, he turned his head and saw Banxia, Banxia turned around and wanted to escape, but the temperature from his arm made Banxia unable to move. He grabbed Banxia's arm, "Don't go." For the first time, his voice was tinged with pleading and powerlessness.
Banxia wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, turned his head, and looked into his eyes, Banxia wanted to see reluctance, wanted to see retention, but I don't know if it was the night or the reason why there was no reason in the first place, Banxia couldn't see anything.
Banxia forced himself to calm down and asked him firmly: "Brother Ye, have you ever liked me?" β
His body trembled, his fists clenched, and he replied, "No," without a hint of emotion. At that moment, Banxia wanted to cry, but she still laughed, but she knew that her face was more ugly than crying at the moment.
He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Banxia's head, but Banxia dodged it and said, "Brother Ye, I owe you, and I will pay it off after tonight." Then Banxia turned around and left, without looking back. He looked at Banxia's back, let go of the hand he had been clenching, and the blood in his palm flowed down.
The next day, the red satin covered the entire Ye Mansion, and the footsteps of the slave maids could not be stopped at all, the sound of firecrackers at the door sounded, and the guests came in an endless stream to say goodbye.
Ye Anshi came to Banxia's room, and there was a woman wearing a phoenix crown and a veil next to the mirror. He had thought about what it would look like in Banxia in a wedding dress, but he didn't know that the person he married would not be. He reached out and shook the woman's hand, only to find that the woman's palms were sweaty and trembling.
He felt that something was wrong, so he lifted the woman's red hijab, what, not Banxia. The woman knelt on the ground, fell to the ground, and said fearfully, "Young master, spare your life." β
"Where's Miss?"
"Slave, slave doesn't know!"
Ye looked at Xiaozhu's stiff appearance, so he brushed his sleeves away, and then summoned the guards in the mansion and reprimanded: "Come on, go to Miss, don't hurt Miss in the slightest, otherwise you will come to see you." β
"Yes, my subordinates obey." And they departed.
Ye immediately got on his horse and ran to the street, thinking: Banxia, where have you been, but you must not have anything to do.
Banxia was wearing Xiaozhu's clothes and wanted to go out of the city, but there were people on the main road to investigate, and Banxia could only take the small road. Fortunately, there are some passers-by on the path, otherwise Banxia would be panicked alone. Banxia lowered her head and walked quickly, she wanted to leave here, she didn't want to marry, and she disappointed Brother Ye for the first time.
At this moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, oh no, it wouldn't have caught up so quickly. Banxia thought as he quickened his pace until he shouted, "Banxia".
Hearing this, Banxia rushed forward regardless of it, not noticing that there was a cliff in front of him. "Be careful." There was a worried voice from behind, Banxia stopped, looking at the cliff in front of her, and a chill came out of her heart.
Banxia turned around and looked at Brother Ye who was not far from her, "Don't come here, or I'll jump down." β
"Banxia, you listen to me, don't get married, we won't get married, come over quickly." He stretched out his hand to Banxia and approached Banxia step by step, with a worried look on his face.
"That's fine." I can see your worried face. Banxia smiled and shouted loudly, "Brother Ye, thank you." β
"Silly ......" Before Ye's words were finished, he saw Banxia turn around and jump down. He ran over and tried to grab Banxia's hand, but only grabbed a piece of Banxia's clothes.
