Chapter 67: The Ye family is rich and noble
Uncle Ye originally pointed at Zhang Xing and was scolding, but when she saw the wood on the wall next to her suddenly rolling down, she was startled, and she took a few steps back and was about to avoid it, but she just stepped on a piece of wood, and her feet slipped, and she screamed "ouch", and fell backwards with her face high.
The loud sound of Aunt Ye falling to the ground summoned all the adults in the room. Wei Yunhai saw that Zhang Jinbao was crying, so he didn't say a word, and picked him up first. Uncle Ye's eldest son Ye Changsheng, daughter Ye Changyue and Uncle Ye also came out, Ye Changsheng Ye Changyue hurriedly helped Uncle Ye up.
Uncle Ye is a person in her forties, after falling like this, she felt that the bones in her body were scattered, and after being helped up, a pair of bull's eyes glared at Zhang Xing viciously, so she couldn't wait to eat her, and if she freed her hand, she was going to beat someone.
Ye Hexiang came out after Wei Yunhai, although she was unclear, but she still had the heart to protect the calf, and Uncle Ye had a grudge with her for a long time. Seeing that Aunt Ye stretched out her hand to hit someone, Ye Hexiang pulled Zhang Xing behind her, stiffened her neck and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" Uncle Ye pointed at Zhang Xing and gritted her teeth and said, "Beat this unfilial girl you were born to death!
"Sister-in-law, don't lie to the child with empty words and white teeth, how can my eldest girl disobey the elders?" Ye Hexiang argued.
Uncle Ye snorted coldly, "How can you disobey your elders? I was pushed to the ground by her!"
Zhang Xing's eyes couldn't help but widen. She finally understood why Ye Changhe would slander her, this is obviously the long beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked! The family education has a long history.
Uncle Ye didn't say this, Ye Hexiang and Wei Yunhai didn't believe it, but Uncle Ye and Ye Changsheng and Ye Changyue didn't believe it. How is this possible? Zhang Xing, this girl is well-known for being timid and cowardly, and she is also a little stupid and dull. has always had to be bullied by others, how could she push Aunt Ye to the ground?
Uncle Ye first turned pale. said to Aunt Ye: "Okay, it's a big New Year." It's like this, what are you talking about? Changsheng's daughter-in-law is still busy in the kitchen alone, why don't you go to help the liners? What are you talking nonsense here?" "Even if you want to take care of the child, you don't look at the time and place, today is the first time that Ye Hexiang led Wei Yunhai to the door after marriage, let the family see it, what do you think?"
Uncle Ye still has to distinguish between Ye Changsheng and Ye Changyue, who were carried into the house by Ye Changsheng and Ye Changyue.
After they left, Ye Hexiang said to Uncle Ye, "Big brother." I went to Yunqing's house with Brother Wei. ”
Uncle Ye nodded and asked, "The things that come to the door are ready, we have received the great favor of others, but we can't go empty-handed." ”
"It's ready. Ye Hexiang said.
Zhang Xing knew the origin of Ye Yunqing and Ye Hexiang, to be honest, she didn't want to go at all, what good thing could her mother do if she went to someone's house? Isn't it just under the guise of repaying her kindness? Zhang Xing generally has a bad impression of the Ye family, and she is even less interested in such a thing as patting horses and whiskers. But if she didn't go, she would have to stay at Uncle Ye's house alone, thinking of Uncle Ye's pot-like face. Zhang Xing still drooped her head and silently followed behind Ye Hexiang.
With Wei Yunhai here, Ye Hexiang couldn't talk about Zhang Xing, so she only glared at her a few times and said, "Go faster." What are you doing?"
Zhang Xing followed Ye Hexiang and the others to a newly built wall, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, from Weijiazhuang to Yinhe Village. Most of the houses she saw along the way were mud houses, and the few brick houses were three or four rooms. The lintel brick walls are dilapidated and old. The wall in front of them was a new one, and they walked nearly a hundred steps. I haven't even reached the door. Looking inside from the outside of the wall, you can occasionally see the color of greenery.
When they arrived at the door, they saw a stone lion standing majestically on each side, a vermilion gate with couplets on both sides, and a red lantern hanging under the eaves.
Ye Hexiang pulled the hem of her clothes, stepped forward and knocked on the knocker, and after a while, she heard someone inside responding: "It's coming!"
The door opened, and there was a girl about twelve or thirteen years old standing at the door, with a brush on her forehead, and her dark eyes looked at Ye Hexiang, obviously not recognizing her.
Ye Hexiang knew that this was about the girl newly bought by Ye Yunqing's family, seeing that a little girl was wearing red and green, her heart was sour, thinking that at the beginning, this Ye Yunqing's family was not much better than his family, the same mud embryo house, the same food and clothing, but now they are already one of the largest households in the entire Quantang Town, and the yard where they live is encircled by more than ten acres of land, and the maid and mother who serve people have bought it. And she is still worried about food and clothing.
All this is because Ye Yunqing's own sister Ye Yunlan is a wet nurse in Huaiyang Palace, and she is a little son of Huaiyang Palace. The so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, which is probably the case. Ye Yunqing said in Quantang Town, Ye Yunlan's husband's family in Yu County is also going to be windy and rainy. I think that at the beginning, she was very good with Ye Yunlan, but now, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground, with a distance of 108,000 miles.
That's fate. If she had the fate to go to Huaiyang Palace, how much would it be. With her talent, she will only be better than Ye Yunlan, and she will definitely not be worse than her.
Ye Hexiang felt in her heart, but the smile on her face was undiminished, and she asked, "Is your wife at home?"
The girl blinked, looked at Ye Hexiang and the others at the door, shook her head and said, "No." ”
Ye Hexiang saw that this girl had no intention of letting people in, and she didn't know if Ye Yunqing's mother-in-law was really absent or fake. However, she was cheeky, and asked with a smile, "Where is your master?"
The girl shook her head, "No." ”
Ye Hexiang did not give up, and looked into the yard. The girl turned sideways and blocked her gaze, and the meaning of seduction was very obvious. Who knew that Ye Hexiang still saw someone, and shouted loudly: "Brother Chen!"
A tall and thin boy about fifteen or sixteen years old who hurriedly walked past the courtyard in the Ye family's compound heard the shout, stopped, and squinted his eyes to look at the door.
Ye Hexiang was overjoyed, pushed away the little girl guarding the door, ran to the young man, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, do you still remember me......?
The young man who called Brother Chen's eyes were full of doubts, and Ye Hexiang hurriedly pulled Zhang Jinbao down from Wei Yunhai's body, "This is my son Jinbao, do you remember? ”
Zhang Xing's forehead twitched when she heard this. How old is Zhang Jinbao, how old is the young man who can be blown away by the wind right now, how can these two people play together? It is estimated that people said a few words to Zhang Jinbao and teased him. Her mother really took it seriously.
Who knew that Zhang Xing would be wrong, that Brother Chen saw Zhang Jinbao, and actually recognized him, and said with a smile: "Jinbao, I remember." ”
The little girl who was guarding the door also ran over, bent over, pointed at Ye Hexiang and the others, and said, "Young Master, this ......"
Brother Chen waved his hand, signaled the girl to stop talking, smiled detachedly, and said to Ye Hexiang: "Aunt Ye is here to find my father, right? ”
The disappointment on Ye Hexiang's face flashed, and she asked, "Is Sister Qin'er's body better?"
"Thank you aunt for your concern, Shuqin is much better. Brother Chen said with him.
Ye Yunqing and his wife were not at home, Ye Hexiang was a woman who was not good at talking to Brother Chen, but she mentioned Ye Yunqing's daughter Ye Shuqin, and Brother Chen didn't mean to invite Ye Shuqin out to entertain her. Ye Hexiang had no choice but to say it herself: "Since Sister Qin is at home, I'll go see her." ”
"Auntie. Brother Chen smiled and said, "Shuqin took the medicine before falling asleep." When she wakes up, my aunt will go over and talk again. ”
"Oh, that's right. Ye Hexiang paused, so she had to stop and continue to pull with Brother Chen. Until Brother Chen's words became less and less, he only smiled at the end. Ye Hexiang stopped talking, took off the big bag on Wei Yunhai's body, stuffed it into the girl's hand, and said: "For the New Year, there is nothing to worry about in the aunt's family, these are all grown in their own fields, Brother Chen and Sister Qin can taste it." He cautiously handed over the rabbit with good sauce, "This is the rabbit that your uncle caught with the apricot girl, Brother Chen asked the kitchen mother-in-law to burn it, see how it tastes?"
Brother Chen'er's gaze shifted from Wei Yunhai to Zhang Xing, he was slightly stunned, quickly turned away, smiled and let the girl take it together, and said, "Auntie is too polite." ”
Ye Hexiang said goodbye to Ye Yunqing's family and came out, chattering along the way, feeling how rich Ye Yunqing's family was and how comfortable his life was, and said that Ye Yunlan's family in Yuxian County was even more full of slaves, with piles of gold and silver. Envy in every way. Zhang Xing's ears were calloused when she heard it, and she didn't dare to answer a word.
returned to Uncle Ye's house, the kitchen meal had already been served, Wei Yunhai was the new aunt and went to the table, and Ye Hexiang took Zhang Jinbao and Zhang Xing to deal with it in the kitchen. Except for a plate of cabbage stew, the rest of the Ye family's meals are vegetarian. Even the cabbage stew, and only some minced meat mixed in the cabbage, four or five women, five or six children snatched it up at once.
Ye Hexiang was swallowed by Zhang Xingyang, only clamped a chopstick, and never moved again. The same is true for Zhang Jinbao. When Ye Changsheng's mother-in-law saw them like this, she thought that they were embarrassed to move the chopsticks, and when she saw that she had already opened the plate, she said apologetically: "Auntie, the dishes are less cooked, and the hospitality is not good." ”
Ye Hexiang plucked a few mouthfuls of dry rice, nodded and said, "It's less." But now it's good to be able to eat meat. ”
Ye Changhe clicked his mouth, knocked Zhang Xing's rice bowl with chopsticks, and said, "Yellow-haired girl, hasn't your family eaten meat for a long time?"
Hu Lan'er, who was opposite him, sneered and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense?
Ye Hexiang didn't want the family to know about her family's situation, so Zhang Xing didn't take the provocation of these little children in her eyes at all. But Zhang Jinbao was anxious and said: "My family has meat to eat! I eat it every day, and the rabbit meat cooked by my eldest sister is delicious, better than the dishes here." ”
Everyone at the table turned their heads to look at Zhang Xing, Ye Changyue was intent on avenging her mother, looked at Ye Hexiang with a smile and said, "Auntie, Jinbao wants to eat meat, right?
Zhang Jinbao was about to protest, Ye Hexiang put the chopsticks down, wiped his mouth, hugged Zhang Jinbao, and said, "I'm done with it, you use it slowly." ”
Zhang Xing saw that her mother had fled, didn't she stay looking for a bully? She also picked up the meal in a few bites, put down the chopsticks, didn't say a word, and left behind Ye Hexiang. (To be continued......)
