Chapter Fifty-Six: The Ye Family
Meng Qianzi smiled and said, "It's not a valuable thing, it's just a little bit of my heart." ”
"Leave this kind of manual work to them, let's go in first, they must be in a hurry. Ye Wenzhu glanced at Ye Yunxuan, turned back to Meng Qianzi and smiled.
"Okay, you guys go in first, I'll find two people to come out and carry things. Ye Yunxuan smiled at the two of them, and waved his hand towards the gatehouse, asking him to find a few people.
Meng Qianzi followed Ye Wenzhu into the Ye family's flower hall, and saw that in the flower hall, as Ye Wenzhu said, there was a large group of people waiting for her.
Meng Qianzi also secretly learned about the situation of the Ye family before, the Ye family has two uncles, the eldest uncle Ye Jingsong, is the first Confucian in Qingchuan after Old Man Ye.
Old man Ye has been doing nothing for many years, every day he is just fishing in his yard, drinking tea, reading books, occasionally when someone looks for him, he will play chess with others, and his life is leisurely and free, and he does not ask about the world.
Uncle Ye Jingsong, as a generation of Confucianism in Qingchuan Kingdom, has to receive countless doctors and students every day, do academic exchanges, and have no time to manage superfluous things.
Therefore, the head of the Ye family is actually the second uncle Ye Jingbai, as a scholarly family, the second uncle Ye Jingbai's knowledge is naturally not bad, but a family, can not only do learning and not eat, right? There is always one person who has to be the head of the family and provoke the livelihood of the eldest son, so the second uncle, who was unwilling to enter the court as an official, invited himself to be the head of the family, but seeing the current appearance of the Ye family, the second uncle is still very successful as a scholar.
Meng Qianzi's mother Ye Qinghe ranks third in the Ye family, because she is the youngest and a daughter, so she is the most favored, but the scholarly family, even if she spoils her daughter, it is impossible to spoil a daughter who does not understand the world, it can only be said that compared to the two brothers, it is a collection of thousands of favors.
Further down the Ye family is the generation of Ip Manzhu.
The eldest of the Ye family's juniors is Ye Yunhao, the eldest son of his uncle Ye Jingsong, who is not very old, but he already has the style of a father, and he has no intention of politics, and the style of the next generation of Confucianism has been decided.
Ye Yunang, the second eldest of the Ye family, the son of his second uncle Ye Jingbai, has been studying abroad for many years.
Ye Yunxuan, the third eldest son of the Ye family, the second son of the eldest uncle, did a compilation job in the court, far away from the government center, and only edited his own books every day, and he was still leisurely.
The fourth child of the Ye family, Ye Wenzhu, the second uncle and the second daughter, is also the only girl in the Ye family in this generation.
Meng Qianzi's mind came up with the information she had learned before, and it was only a matter of a moment.
The people in the flower hall watched the two come in, and they all stood up happily. A woman hurriedly stepped forward, looked at Meng Qianzi excitedly and said, "Like, it's so much like a sister-in-law!"
"No, it's exactly like my sister-in-law!" said another woman, with tears in her eyes as she spoke.
Before Meng Qianzi could speak, a middle-aged man smiled and said, "Look at you, don't Qianzi was scared by you as soon as she entered the door." ”
Ye Wenzhu also smiled: "That's it, aunt, mother, don't scare Qianzi." ”
Then he pulled Meng Qianzi and pointed to the woman who spoke first: "Come, Qianzi, let me introduce you, this is the eldest aunt, your eldest aunt." Then he said to the woman who came after, "This is my mother, your second uncle." ”
Meng Qianzi bowed to the two: "Hello eldest uncle! Hello second uncle!" But before her legs could bend, she was helped up by the two.
The two aunts supported Meng Qianzi on the left and right, "Hurry up, how can there be so many rules in your own home." ”
With the support of the two, Meng Qianzi couldn't bend her legs anymore, so she had to stand up straight.
The two aunts pulled her towards the hall and walked to the middle-aged man who had just spoken: "Come and see your uncle." Then he pointed to another middle-aged man standing next to the middle-aged man: "This is your second uncle." ”
Meng Qianzi curtsied at the man in front of her, "Qianzi has seen the eldest uncle and the second uncle. ”
"Okay! Hurry up!" Ye Jingsong and Ye Jingbai stepped forward and helped each other in unison.
"Since your mother passed away, how many people have we sent to Mengfu over the years, wanting to see you, but they have all been pushed away, and your child has suffered all these years. The eldest aunt looked at Meng Qianzi and asked with concern.
Meng Qianzi smiled lightly and said: "Thank you for your concern, Qianzi has lived a lot over the years, but Uncle Lao and his aunts are worried." ”
The eldest aunt and the second aunt glanced at each other, and they all knew that Meng Qianzi was comforting them, although they had not seen it with their own eyes over the years, they had heard a lot of rumors, but they were outside after all, and they couldn't be tough on the affairs of the eldest lady of the dream family.
The eldest aunt took Meng Qianzi's hand, with tears in her eyes: "Look at what you said, for so many years, we can't help if we want to, just thinking about when you will come out of Mengfu and come to the Ye family, I didn't expect to really come today, looking at this look, it is exactly the same as my sister-in-law at that time." ”
She married the earliest of the Ye family, and she also got along with Ye Qinghe for the longest time, unlike other people's sisters-in-law and sister-in-law, she had a good relationship with Ye Qinghe, and she really regarded Ye Qinghe as her sister, but she didn't expect such a beautiful sister-in-law to be so famous, and she had only been married to the dream family for a few years, and she died.
The second aunt also said on the side: "Isn't it, it's like a mold carved out, tell your uncle and aunt how you have spent all these years in the dream house?"
"Uncle and aunt really don't have to worry, Qianzi is really good. Meng Qianzi looked at the two uncles and knew that they really felt sorry for her, although the two uncles didn't speak, they also knew by looking at their expressions that they really loved her sister's daughter.
Meng Qianzi was moved in her heart, the original owner was in this world, after all, there were still people who really loved her, but because she had been locked up in the dream mansion before, she didn't know.
Ye Qinghe stepped forward and pulled Meng Qianzi: "Don't stand, come, sit down here and talk." ”
"Yes, sit down and talk. The eldest aunt immediately laughed and said, "Look at me, what has become of excitement." ”
As soon as Meng Qianzi sat down, Ye Yunxuan, who had finished moving things, also came in, and smiled at Meng Qianzi: "Cousin, you said you came here, why did you bring such a bunch of things?"
"It's all ordinary things, just a little bit of Qianzi's heart. Meng Qianzi replied with a faint smile.
"By the way, I went to Mobaozhai to see the painting you painted at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and it really deserves the name of the first talented female beauty from everyone, and that painting has made many literati in Qingjing flock to it. ”
"It was just an improvisation under duress, and it was nothing. ”
"Oh my God, that's just your improvisation? What would it look like if you painted two of them well?" Ye Wenzhu exclaimed on the side, she had also gone to see that painting, and at that time, she was shocked by the soft and sometimes sharp smile, not to mention herself, even the eldest brother Ye Yunhao might not be able to make such a painting.
"It's a pity that I wasn't in Qingjing during the Hundred Flowers Banquet, otherwise I would have been able to witness my cousin's painting on the spot. Ye Wenzhu said regretfully.
Ye Yunxuan also said regretfully: "Yes, I thought that this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet was the same as in previous years, there was nothing new, so I didn't go, but I didn't expect to be wrong for my cousin's wonderful painting." He didn't care about those banquets, and he didn't expect that Meng Qianzi, who had never been out of the Prime Minister's Mansion in previous years, would go to this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet, so he missed it like this, which made him regretful.
