Chapter 34
At the same time, Qi Tianci was also depressed. Although he said he would not marry a girl from the Ye family, he always thought of the girl's frown and smile. Such a beautiful girl should not suffer this crime with him.

Qi Tianci laughed at himself, which girl could be happy in his situation.

Recently, he felt that he had changed a little, and his heart was not as peaceful as before.

Qi Tianci straightened his face and returned to his previous cold expression.

After the Ye family and the Qi family went through this incident, they never mentioned it again. The two families had no contact with each other, and Ye Ziqiu also put this matter behind him.

Ever since she discovered Ye Zixia's feelings for Bai Zhan, Ye Ziqiu didn't allow Zixia to go to the threshing ground, and took the job on herself. , is not a qualified candidate.

Ye Zixia was forced to stay at home, and Ye Ziqiu went to the threshing ground along the road. There were many children guarding the threshing ground early in the morning. In fact, Ye Changan is not young, so this job is not considered What, but Mrs. Zhang felt sorry for her son, so she let him play. There is only such a little brother in her family, and Ye Ziqiu doesn't care.

When he came here, Ye Ziqiu saw Bai Zhan. Bai Zhan was wearing a light-colored shirt, leaning there, and it was so eye-catching.

His eyes turned to Ye Ziqiu's direction, looking at her alone, he frowned slightly.

Ye Ziqiu thought she saw what he was thinking, glanced at him, and sat down beside the grain pile.

After a while, Bai Zhan came towards her, "Miss Ye, I don't know why Zixia didn't come here?"

He was so courageous that he came to ask openly.

Ye Ziqiu looked carefully, Bai Zhan looked about sixteen or seventeen, this age should be sensible, she knew that a wealthy family would usually arrange a girl in the room at the age of fifteen or sixteen, so what about Bai Zhan?
"I heard that your family is from the county?"

Bai Zhan obviously didn't expect Ye Ziqiu to talk to him, looking serious, Bai Zhan also became serious.

"Yes."

"Are you 16 years old this year?"

"Seventeen."

"Should we be engaged at this age?"

Bai Zhan frowned and looked at Ye Ziqiu, feeling that she was a little strange, asking some personal questions all the time, which made her feel like being interrogated.

"Miss Ye is curious about my private affairs."

Bai Zhan sneered, obviously dissatisfied with Ye Ziqiu, Ye Ziqiu just looked at him without flinching.

"It's also the second time I've seen Miss Ye. I don't know why she is a little hostile to me? Can you tell me?"

Now that he asked directly, Ye Ziqiu said bluntly, "Master Bai is a smart person, and he knows that a girl's reputation is important. My second sister is pure-hearted, like a boy. She only thinks of good people. Just like being close, but it's not good for you or her."

"What do you mean, girl, let me keep a distance from Zixia?"

Ye Ziqiu nodded, "Or let me tell you not to talk to my sister, I don't want her to get hurt in the future."

Ye Ziqiu said it so bluntly, Bai Zhan also had a hint of mockery on his face, "I didn't expect Miss Ye to misunderstand me, I apologize to Miss Ye, as for what you said, I will write it down, me and Zi Xia Liao's speculation, but he forgot that she is a girl, so don't worry, girl. I will go back to the county in a few days, and I won't see you again when I come here, so girl can feel at ease now?"

This is the best way, Ye Ziqiu hooked the corners of his mouth, "I don't worry if I have Mr. Bai, I'm just such a younger sister, I always wish her well, if you are disrespectful to Mr. Bai, please forgive me."

Bai Zhan nodded, maintaining his image from the beginning to the end, seeing that there was nothing to say, he said goodbye to Ye Ziqiu and walked to the other side.

Here Bai Zhan walked away, Ye Zixia ran over panting, looked around, did not see that figure, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

"Why did you come here, didn't you stay at home?"

"I'm fine if I'm idle, big sister, let me watch here, you go back!"

Ye Ziqiu had nothing to say, and Bai Zhan would never come again, so he nodded and left.

Along the way, Ye Ziqiu sighed, she felt that what she did was right, but as for Zixia, she probably couldn't understand her good intentions, just like she didn't understand her mother back then.

However, even if she complained, Ye Ziqiu would still do the same.

Passing by Qi's house, Ye Ziqiu took a look, and saw Qi Tianci slipping in the yard from a distance, Ye Ziqiu lowered his head, and quickly walked over.

Ye Ziqiu breathed a sigh of relief now that she was far away from Qi's family. She didn't know how to face Qi Tianci now, so she just disappeared.

The courtyard door of the house was open, Ye Ziqiu met the eldest aunt Wang who came out from inside.

Wang looked at her and smiled, "Ziqiu, don't forget to go when the day comes." After speaking, she smiled and left.

Ye Ziqiu was baffled, and when he walked into the room, he asked, "Mother, what did uncle Niang do here just now?"

Mrs. Zhang snorted when she heard the words, "Ziyu wants to get engaged, so let us go to attend the engagement ceremony, which will be on the eighth day of next month. The other party is Zhao Junsheng."

It turned out that this was the case. She thought Wang was trying to show her superiority in front of her, but it was a pity that she was not interested in Zhao Junsheng at all.

Ye Ziqiu didn't take it seriously, and went back to the house to embroider her own handkerchief. In the last two days, she embroidered a handkerchief. It looked very good. She wanted to embroider a few more and send it to the embroidery shop.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month, and the millet in the village was finished, and it was time for the court to collect taxes.

At this time of day, some people are happy and some are worried. Fortunately, this year's harvest is good, and after paying the tax, the food can be exchanged for some money.

But this year there is a bad news, the imperial court conscripted corvee, this year is a foreign corvee, every family has to provide a strong labor force, the past two years have been peaceful, unexpectedly this year will come again.

This corvée service, many people can't come back once they go, but they can't refuse. If they don't want to go, they have to pay ten taels of silver.

I heard that it is to open a river, this kind of tiring work, it is good to persevere, otherwise, if you die, you will die.

Ye Zhengliang was the only man in Ye Ziqiu's family, so the responsibility was naturally on him. Fortunately, the family had some savings, so Mrs. Zhang would not agree to him going.

What if something happened to make them orphans and widows how to live?
Mrs. Zhang cried and made noises, and Ye Zhengliang naturally agreed, but at night, someone from the old house called them over.

Calling at this time, Ye Ziqiu had a bad illusion in his heart. Ye Zhengliang and Mrs. Zhang obviously thought of it too, and his brows were furrowed tightly.

"father!"

Ye Ziqiu called Ye Zhengliang, saw him turn his face, and moved his mouth, "Father, if grandma has any unreasonable request, don't agree to it."

Although he knew his mother, Ye Zhengliang didn't like his daughter saying that, so he scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, that's your grandma, and dad is your grandma's own son."

He said this, but his tone lacked confidence, Ye Ziqiu sighed, probably he himself didn't believe that Mrs. Ye told him to go for nothing.

After thinking about it, Ye Ziqiu decided to go and listen together. Although she couldn't decide, at least she could protect her family's rights.
