Chapter Ninety-Seven: Family Affairs
Gu Xichao kicked the chair, still angry, and when he turned his head and saw Ye Xinchen kneeling with his forehead on the ground, he suddenly remembered that he was the one who started his fall into such a situation, and he was even more angry, and yelled at him: "Get out of the way." ”
Ye Xinchen stood up and hurriedly walked out. Mu Yu and Liu Yi, who were standing at the door, heard the movement inside, and the two looked at each other. Mu Yu didn't know what was going on, Liu Yi was uneasy, as soon as he saw Ye Xinchen come out, he immediately pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"
Ye Xinchen hung his head and said, "The prince knows the truth. ”
Liu Yi couldn't help but let go of Ye Xinchen, sat crookedly on the stone, and muttered, "It's over......"
Ye Xinchen also had no strength to sit down next to him, he really couldn't think of how Gu Xichao would treat Zhang Xing, thinking of Gu Xichao's appearance of wanting to eat people, he couldn't help but shudder, and the word "finished" also appeared in his heart.
Just when the two cousins sighed, the door of the study snapped open, and Gu Xichao rushed out angrily, without looking at Mu Yu at the door, and went straight to the door of the courtyard. Liu Yi and Ye Xinchen heard the sound and followed.
They met Ye Yunqing at the gate of the courtyard, Ye Yunqing respectfully called "Lord Shizi......" but the words had not yet landed, and Gu Xichao was already a gust of wind that had passed far away.
Ye Yunqing couldn't figure it out, and then Mu Yu, Liu Yi, and Ye Xinchen followed out one after another, and he said "hey" several times before stopping his son.
"Xin Chen, Shi Ziye, where are you going?" he asked.
Ye Xinchen shook his head, and he didn't know what to say.
Ye Yunqing said again: "The banquet in front has been prepared......"
Ye Xinchen waved his hand, and Gu Xichao looked like this. Where are you in the mood to eat and drink?
"Dad, let people withdraw quickly. Ye Xinchen said.
Ye Yunqing was stunned. "This, this. Why is that?" he said. In order to settle this banquet, he offended all his relatives near and far, and racked his brains to think about how to make the prince of Huaiyang Wangfu eat comfortably and happily.
Actually, it's going to be withdrawn!?
Ye Xinchen sighed, what Ye Yunqing did, he could imagine. "Dad, don't ask, withdraw quickly. With that, Ye Xinchen sighed again. Hurried over.
When he arrived at the front yard, Gu Xichao had already ridden away, Mu Yu followed, and Liu Yi was still waiting at the door. Seeing Ye Xinchen coming over, he hurriedly beckoned and said, "You don't have to go with you, our master will be angry, and when he sees you, he will only be more angry." You still wait until he's gone. Let's show up again. ”
Ye Xinchen was uneasy, and he also knew that Liu Yi was telling the truth. Gu Xichao came, didn't even drink a cup of tea, and rushed away in a hurry. It must have annoyed him. Ye Shuqin's aftermath is not over yet. He also had to explain to his father that he really couldn't just go with him.
Liu Yi patted him on the shoulder and said sympathetically, "Okay." I'm leaving, you wait for my news before you go back. ”
Liu Yi rode a horse. After rushing for a while, he caught up with Gu Xichao. Only after stopping. Only then did they realize that they had arrived on the road where they met Zhang Xingzhang Jinbao during the day.
In the middle of the night, the snow had already stopped, and there was no sound except the gasping of a few of them and the sound of horses snorting. Gu Xi stood in the middle of the road, black Qiu like ink, imitating a fossil in the gray and white snowy night, looking at the blurred people not far away.
Liu Yi was uneasy in his heart, but he didn't dare to step forward. The gray black house was silent like a painting, still asleep. Gu Xixiang looked at Jing Mo for a while, then suddenly turned the horse's head again and galloped in the direction of Yuxian. Liu Yi turned around and looked at the family, breathed a long sigh of relief, and also hit the horse to follow.
Zhang Xing woke up in her sleep, looked at the gray window lattice, it was late at night, and there was a wiping sound outside, as if the snow had crushed the branches. She had just had a dream, dreaming that she was sitting alone on a small boat, surrounded by a surging flood, and there was no edge in sight, and she rowed for a long time, but she did not see the shore or people, and when she was desperate, she heard a rumbling sound, and looked up, and there was a row of huge waves rolling not far away, and she suddenly woke up from the dream.
It is not a good thing to dream of such a big water at the end of the year. She thought for a long time - will there be another big flood next year?
Zhang Xing couldn't help but shudder.
The next day, Zhang Xing told Aunt He about the dream. Aunt He laughed and said, "Nonsense, this spring water is wealth." This is about to be the New Year, and if you dream of big water, it means that your good deeds are coming. ”
Zhang Xing didn't believe that anything good would come to her.
During the Chinese New Year, Wei Minwen went home and brought back the account books of the Fu family rice shop for the past two years. Zhang Xing was surprised in her heart, and she looked up to Uncle Fu more and more. The ledger is the top secret of the merchant. The year's incoming and outgoing, the rise and fall of each time of trading, the market share of various goods, and so on can be seen from it. Uncle Fu has been running a rice shop for many years, and he can be regarded as taking out all his pressed goods.
Wei Minwen has also changed a lot in the past year, there is no longer a ruffian in the past, and he is honest and elegant. Thinking about it, he also knows what Uncle Fu expects of him, and he is also very serious and hardworking. I don't go out of the house during the Chinese New Year, so I settle the accounts in my room.
Zhang Xing brought the burned brazier to their room, Wei Minwu saw this, immediately jumped up, smiled and said: "Put it here, put it here, you two will wait, I will go to the garden to dig a few taro, let's bury it and burn it to eat." ”
Zhang Jinbao, who was practicing calligraphy in the main room, heard that there was taro to eat, and lost the pen in his hand, so he came over. Zhang Xing sat next to Wei Minwen and watched him settle the accounts, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Why don't you make a table and then calculate?" ”
Wei Minwen was dazed by the lines and lines, and after listening to it, he asked in surprise: "How to make a watch?"
This statistical data is ordinary for Zhang Xing, she immediately took a pen to teach Wei Minwen to make a table and keep accounts, she taught carefully, and the more Wei Minwen listened, the more fascinated she became. The two of them didn't even know when Wei Minwu would come in. When Zhang Xing finished speaking and looked up, he realized that there was an extra head in front of him.
Wei Min Wuhu looked at her suspiciously, and when Zhang Xing went out, he also followed him. When I got to the kitchen, I asked, "Where did you learn this?"
Zhang Xing blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "Natural." Wei Minwu scoffed, not convinced. Zhang Xing whispered again: "You don't care where I learned this, as long as these are useful, that's fine." Wei Minwu was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.
Zhang Jinbao shouted at this time: "Second brother, second brother, your taro is ripe, your taro is ripe, come quickly." Wei Minwu hurriedly ran over.
Zhang Xing was afraid that they would quarrel with Wei Minwen, so he had to burn another brazier to lure out Wei Minwu and Zhang Jinbao.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, because Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu were at home, Zhang Xing did not follow Ye Hexiang to Uncle Ye's house. Only Wei Yunhai and Zhang Jinbao followed Ye Hexiang back to Buhe Village, and they stayed in Buhe Village for one night before coming back. After coming back, Ye Hexiang showed off the Ye family's affairs.
The Ye family has a new ancestral hall, because the big and small things of this ancestral hall are all handled by Ye Yunqing. The previous genealogy of the Ye family is long gone, and it is no longer clear who is the concubine and who is the concubine. I haven't paid attention to this matter for many years, and now I can't say what it is. Anyway, it is good to enjoy the shade with his back against the big tree, and Ye Yunqing has become the patriarch. Several of the remaining elders of the Ye family have become clan elders.
When the Ye family ancestral hall was opened, the whole Tang town was in the town and the powerful people in the town were polite or someone came, in short, it was extremely lively.
Zhang Xing didn't want to have anything to do with the Ye family, Ye Xinchen didn't die, she didn't know what he was doing to Gu Xichao and pretending to be deaf and dumb, she didn't want to know what happened to her, she thought it was very good, he didn't come to her, and she was willing to act as if nothing happened.
If that matter is revealed, it will definitely be a troublesome matter, so what will the Huaiyang Mansion do to her. She felt uneasy to think about. Although she accepted the fact that she had come to this place, she definitely did not include being a concubine - this was something she could never bear. Give her a sum of money and send her away. This was probably the best thing she could think of after the matter was revealed. But her reputation has been ruined, and this matter is on the table, and she will definitely suffer some problems in the future.
Ye Hexiang said that when the ancestral hall was opened, Ye Xinchen was also there, and even the whole town of Quantang looked at his face and spoke.
Zhang Xing didn't know whose idea was that the Ye family opened an ancestral hall, but she still admired this person. In this troubled world, it is difficult to live alone, the Ye family is a plate of scattered sand, if there is a disaster, it will be scattered in about a rush, and they are gathered together like this, although they also have their own thoughts, but they have the qualifications to fight hard when the wind and rain come.
Last year's harvest was good, and there was no shortage of food and drink at home, but Wei Yunhai had something else to worry about - the children were growing up, and the house at home was no longer enough to live in. Especially the eldest son, who has reached the age of marrying. I don't have a house at home, and I don't have much money left, so it's really hard to talk to the matchmaker.
He talked to Ye Hexiang many times, but Ye Hexiang no longer pretended to be deaf and dumb, so he had to worry about it. It's really better for her to worry about it, but it's better not to worry about it. The girl mentioned by Aunt He, she asked someone to inquire, but she didn't look at anyone, so she shook her head - the girl was too poor, and her temper was too strong, so she couldn't handle it.
Although Zhang Xing wants to go and see, only the eldest girl helps her brother see her future sister-in-law?
This matter didn't bother them for long, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wei Yunhai sent Wei Minwen to Zhanghe Town, and when he came back, he told Ye Hexiang that she didn't have to worry about Wei Minwen's family affairs. He had already discussed with Uncle Fu and set up Uncle Fu's daughter, Fu Xianglian, for Wei Minwen.
Zhang Xing was taken aback, she knew the bad consequences of this close inbone's marriage, but she really couldn't talk about this matter-Wei Yunhai and Uncle Fu's decision, how could she have the right to speak? She, a girl who had not left the pavilion, should be shy and avoid the word family affairs when she heard the word family affairs, that was common sense, where was her turn to discuss the rights and wrongs of her brother's family affairs? Besides, Wei Minwen was not her own brother. (To be continued......)
