68 Sixty-eight
After a while, the third aunt came, and before entering the door, she straightened her clothes, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw that everyone was there, and she looked very restrained.
"Third aunt." Cheng Yanhuan shouted.
The third aunt hurriedly saluted Cheng Yanhuan and Mrs. Cheng: "Master, eldest lady." ”
"Get up." Cheng Yanhuan said, Mrs. Cheng on one side can no longer open her mouth without permission.
The third aunt stood up nervously, glanced at everyone secretly, her eyes stopped on Cheng Qinlan's face, and when she saw Cheng Qinlan's face pale, she was shocked, and secretly thought, couldn't it be that Qinlan made something wrong?
However, what Cheng Yanhuan said was not about Cheng Qinlan, but asked: "Third aunt, do you know that in the past two days, Ye Shenglin of Ye Mansion has been in Cheng Mansion?" ”
"Back to the master, the concubine knows." The third aunt said slowly.
"Who proposed to let him in? I remember that many years ago, you promised not to have anything to do with Ye Fu again, why did you have anything to do with this time? Who forced you? ”
Cheng Yanhuan's voice fell.
Mrs. Cheng sighed in her heart. Do you want to find out about this?
Cheng Molan's body was tense.
Cheng Qinlan didn't dare to gasp.
The third aunt glanced at Cheng Qinlan and said, "Back to the master, it was the concubine who begged the eldest lady to help Ye Mansion, and now that Ye Mansion is getting worse, the concubine really can't bear it, so she begged the eldest lady to give Ye Shenglin an errand to do." ”
"Then do you know that your request made Ye Shenglin lose his life in Cheng Mansion!" Cheng Yanhuan gritted his teeth and said.
The third aunt breathed and looked at Cheng Yanhuan in dismay.
Cheng Molan and Cheng Qinlan couldn't help but raise their heads, Ye Shenglin really, really died?
"Master, what do you mean......" The third aunt asked in disbelief.
Cheng Yanhuan took a breath and said: "Last night, when Ye Shenglin was walking alone through the woods, the thunder and lightning accidentally struck the branch, causing the branch to break. ”
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Everyone felt that this way of death was so funny that they couldn't believe it, and at the same time, they were infected by Cheng Yanhuan's solemnity and had to believe it.
The third aunt couldn't speak for a long time.
Cheng Yanhuan said: "If the Ye Mansion comes to the female family in a while, you and the eldest lady will go together to appease you." Saying that, Cheng Yanhuan stood up, handed the note in his hand to Mrs. Cheng and said, "You have to think of a way to do the family affairs of the Lin Mansion, and if you can block this matter, you can block it." The fewer people who know, the better. Also, what you do must be worthy of your identity, otherwise ......" Cheng Yanhuan didn't continue, and Mrs. Cheng's face was no longer bloody.
Cheng Molan, Cheng Hualan, Cheng Qinlan, Cheng Shulan, and the third aunt sent Cheng Yanhuan a gift.
Mrs. Cheng came back to her senses for a long time, Cheng Yanhuan's meaning was obvious, she disappointed him again and again, if it goes on like this, she can ignore this back house, Mrs. Cheng stabilized her mood, unfolded the note and looked at it, shocked on the spot, and then looked at Cheng Qinlan.
Cheng Qinlan shouted: "Mother." ”
Mrs. Cheng immediately rubbed the note in her palm and said, "Mother Du, take the third lady back to the yard, she is not allowed to leave the yard without my order." ”
Cheng Qinlan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Mother, why don't you let me go out of the yard, what did I do wrong?" ”
Even the third aunt came to plead: "Big lady, big lady, Qinlan is young, how can she do something wrong, she can still educate ......"
"Mother Du!" Mrs. Cheng shouted.
"Yes, Madame." Then Du's mother stepped forward, pulled Cheng Qinlan, who was crying and shouting, up, and said, "Third Miss, you can go with the old slave." ”
Cheng Qinlan was unwilling, but she couldn't resist Du's mother's pull, and she was pulled out of the eldest lady's place.
Cheng Molan was uneasy in her heart.
Mrs. Cheng didn't want the other Lan to know about it, so Mrs. Cheng said, "Early in the morning, you were also frightened. That's all for today's greetings, and you all go back. ”
Cheng Molan, Cheng Hualan, and Cheng Shulan all said yes respectfully.
Cheng Molan didn't say a word and went back to her yard.
Cheng Hualan and Cheng Shulan walked from the garden as usual, followed by Yan Mingyu and Pingxiang.
Cheng Hualan had the heart to discuss the next matter with Cheng Shulan Yan Mingyu, so she said: "Fourth sister, my moon season has opened, why don't you go to me for a while?" ”
Cheng Shulan also had a lot of questions in her heart, and immediately replied: "Okay, the second sister is going to prepare good tea and wait for me." ”
"Definitely."
Cheng Shulan and Yan Mingyu went back to Fuxia Garden first, and after a while, they took some snacks and went to Yazhu Pavilion.
As soon as Cheng Shulan and Yan Mingyu arrived, Cheng Hualan immediately pulled the two into the room, closed the door, and let Pingxiang stay at the door.
"Mingyu." Cheng Hualan shouted, and then hurriedly said: "Will the next thing develop according to our expectations?" ”
Cheng Shulan also looked at Yan Mingyu.
Cheng Hualan couldn't help but say again: "I still remember one time, the eldest sister and the third sister wronged Mingyu out of the house, and even the eldest lady was alarmed, the eldest lady was violent, and she looked like she was going to be severely punished, but it turned out that you didn't leave the house, so you picked it up so much, and then it was gently put down." Will the eldest lady do the same this time? ”
Cheng Shulan was stunned by Cheng Hualan's words, if it was really as Cheng Hualan said, then their efforts would not be in vain.
Yan Mingyu said firmly: "She can't let it go gently." ”
"Why?" Cheng Shulan asked.
Yan Mingyu looked at Cheng Hualan and asked, "Second Miss, who is the note in your hand now?" ”
Cheng Hualan replied: "Big lady." ”
"What about before the Great Lady?"
"Father."
"So, who was the first to see the note?"
Cheng Hualan was stunned.
Yan Mingyu asked again: "Who is the second person to see the note?" ”
Cheng Hualan couldn't answer.
"What about the third?"
Cheng Hualan immediately understood and replied: "Yes, this is a key point. My father always did things according to the rules, and after he found the body, he would definitely not move the body, but first report to the official and search for the dead body, and my father naturally would not do it. It is very likely that it is someone from the government, and after the government searches the body, read the note, it may be transferred to his superior, maybe two or three hands before he gets to his father. ”
Yan Mingyu nodded: "That's right." ”
Cheng Shulan answered: "In other words, many people know the words on the note. ”
"Yes." Yan Mingyu said: "The more people who know, the more disadvantageous it is for the third lady. No one can guarantee that there will not be a leak of the rumors, once the rumors leak, the Ye Mansion will also have an impact on the reputation of several other Lan, especially the eldest lady wants the eldest lady to marry well, let alone have a bad reputation. First of all, Cheng Qinlan can't be allowed to marry high, once the high marriage is discussed, or the news of walking, it will hurt Chengfu's face. Therefore, the family affairs of the Lin Mansion have nothing to do with the third lady. In other words, the third lady can no longer find a better family than the Lin Mansion, but the lord takes a fancy to the Lin Mansion, so he ......" Yan Mingyu did not go on.
Cheng Shulan roughly understood, and then asked worriedly: "Mingyu, will the official government find out......
"Find out what?" Yan Mingyu asked rhetorically: "Isn't it thunder?" What did we do? ”
Cheng Hualan answered: "If you don't forgive yourself, what do you have to do with us." ”
Cheng Shulan looked at Yan Mingyu, then at Cheng Hualan, and said firmly: "It has nothing to do with us." ”
Then, the three of them continued to discuss the next matter. As a lady of the Cheng Mansion, she didn't have to participate in such a major event, so she listened to the green leaves report back and forth.
The government came to a conclusion, saying that it was a thunderbolt that smashed the tree and died.
The people from Ye Mansion came, and they were crying, saying that they were going to report to the official, and they quarreled with the eldest lady and the third aunt, and the third aunt helped Cheng Mansion, and was slapped by the people of Ye Mansion.
From morning to evening, the battle between Cheng Ye and the two prefectures was quite fierce.
Green Leaf ran out of breath and reported to Cheng Shulan: "Old Mrs. Ye has fainted from crying. said that it was just such a sister-in-law, and Mrs. Ye also cried in front of the eldest lady. The eldest lord is also negotiating with the Ye Mansion man, but it is not clear what the situation is. ”
Yan Mingyu poured a glass of water for Luye and said, "Okay, don't run away, drink some water and rest for a while." ”
"Sister Xie Mingyu." Green Ye grunted and said, "When I came back, I heard from people that Ye Gongzi was dating the third lady, and it was said that Ye Gongzi had a note on his chest, which said, outside the garden woods, waiting for you, Qin." It seems to be this sentence, but it turned out to be raining, and the third lady didn't go to the appointment, and Ye Gongzi was waiting there, so he was smashed. ”
Yan Mingyu, Cheng Shulan, and Cheng Hualan looked at each other, and the news spread too quickly.
"It is also said that Ye Gongzi died well, this is God's eye-opening, he has done so many bad things, he deserves to be struck by lightning, this is the boss to eliminate harm for the people." Green Leaf said.
Yan Mingyu poured another cup of tea for Luye and said, "Don't follow this gossip, just listen to it." ”
"Got it, Sister Mingyu. You've been so good to me. "Green Leaf Road.
Cheng Shulan and Cheng Hualan smiled faintly, but they wondered if this matter could be resolved when it would end. After all, Ye Shenglin is a son-in-law, and he died in Cheng Mansion, so Cheng Mansion has to take some responsibility.
Yan Mingyu thought, this time there is a headache for the eldest lady.
Until the evening, Mrs. Cheng was exhausted.
Mother Du pinched Mrs. Cheng's back and shoulders while persuading Mrs. Cheng.
Mrs. Cheng said angrily: "Her son has done all the bad things, and in the end he was struck by lightning, so she blames our Cheng Mansion, why doesn't she blame God?" ”
"That's what I said, but after all, I died in Cheng Mansion and had a bad reputation."
Mrs. Cheng immediately sighed and said, "I really shouldn't have agreed to let Ye Shenglin come into the mansion at the beginning." ”
Du's mother replied, "Not really. There's a Ye Fu entangled here, and I really don't know when it's a head. In two days, the matchmakers from Qi Mansion and Lin Mansion will come over, Qi Mansion is fine, the master also said, Qi Mansion Tisi Miss agreed, what should Lin Mansion do? ”
"Qinlan must not marry Lin Mansion!" Mrs. Cheng said categorically: "She is not qualified!" ”
Mother Du thought of the note that people were talking about, and asked, "Then our Cheng Mansion will not marry in the Lin Mansion?" ”
Mrs. Cheng was silent for a while: "Actually, there is no such thing, I also want to let Hualan marry better, but, after all, Qinlan has always been by my side, so I blame Hualan's bad life, and she is destined to be small." But I didn't expect Qinlan to be so ungrown. Not to mention that this one is usually looked down upon, and that one is not looked down upon. At the critical moment, it is useless at all, and the mud that can't support the wall. As for the painting orchid, steady, docile and sensible. Take the last Wang Da incident as an example, Mo Lan, Qin Lan, and Shulan were all stunned, and they only cared about themselves. Only after painting orchid, painting orchid, she picked up the flower pot, smashed it at Wang Da recklessly, and then asked me if I was okay, I knew that I was afraid. The eldest lady didn't know that this was the first thing that moved, but Yan Mingyu instructed Cheng Hualan to do it.
Mother Du nodded and said, "Yes, the second lady has always been filial to the eldest lady, and she usually does socks and shoes diligently." I want her to marry into the Lin Mansion and be able to teach her husband and children. The third lady is a person with eyes above the top, and she can't look down on Lin Mansion. ”
"She fell in love with Qi Mansion, but she couldn't climb Qi Mansion." Mrs. Cheng said coldly.
Mother Du chimed in: "Yes." That's what the eldest lady said. But I secretly said in my heart, fate is so dramatic, the third lady has always been favored, and at the end, it is the fourth miss who is soaring, but it is the second miss who is mentioned by the eldest lady.
I thought that the Lin Mansion would come to propose marriage again the next day, but I didn't expect it to come the next day.
Mrs. Cheng took the matchmaker to see Cheng Hualan, and the matchmaker expressed satisfaction at the time, and Lin Fu must be even more satisfied, not to mention that the appearance of the second miss is no worse than that of the third miss, and the temperament is also higher than that of the third miss.
The matchmaker understands that Cheng Lin's second mansion is married, and the marriage is a relative, and the Lin Mansion is married to fill the house, and the Cheng Mansion will naturally not marry Cheng Molan, so he has to choose from several other orchids, regardless of which orchid, since Cheng Hualan is more outstanding, the Lin Mansion is naturally happy, and this matter is basically finalized.
Just after sending away the matchmaker of the Lin Mansion, the matchmaker of the Qi Mansion ushered in the matchmaker of the Qi Mansion.
Green Leaf happily ran in from outside Fuxia Garden, shouting as he ran: "Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss!" ”
The green sleeves who were in the yard picked up the broom and were about to pick it up and hit the green leaves: "Dead hooves, why are you dead!" ”
Before the green sleeves were picked up, the green leaves stood still and glared at the green sleeves: "Why am I in your way, this Fuxia Garden is yours, do you have the right to say?" ”
"You ......"
"Okay, don't make any noise, the fourth lady is in the room, Luye, you have something urgent, go and report it." Seeing this scene, Xu's mother persuaded her.
"Hey, I'll go now, huh!" Green Leaf happily ran to the door and knocked on the door: "Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss." ”
Just knocked, Yan Mingyu opened the door: "I've heard you shout a long time ago." ”
"Sister Mingyu, I have something to tell you." Green Leaf Road.
"Come in." After Yan Mingyu let the green leaves in, he closed the door with his hand.
Green Sleeves and Green Lotus sat in the courtyard and looked at each other, but neither of them spoke. This time Cheng Qinlan lost power, the two suddenly had no intention of rebelling, in the past, Cheng Shulan and Yan Mingyu had a little movement, and both of them wanted to come up to listen to it and make a small report, but now, in front of them, Cheng Shulan is getting higher and higher day by day, and they suddenly have the idea of following all the time, so at this time, neither of them stepped forward.
And at this moment, the fourth lady is in the room.
Luye said happily: "Fourth Miss, Qi Mansion has come to propose!" ”
Cheng Shulan was stunned.
Yan Mingyu raised his eyes to look at the green leaves.
Lu Ye hurriedly said: "The eldest lord and the eldest lady have agreed, the fourth lady is going to marry to the Qi Mansion to be the third lady of Qi!" ”
Cheng Shulan suddenly exhaled, wanted to laugh and cry, and suddenly didn't know what kind of expression to face the news.
"Fourth Miss, what's wrong with you?" Midoriba asked puzzled.
Yan Mingyu answered: "Fourth Miss is fine, is what you just said true?" ”
"Really. I heard it with my own ears. Green Leaf said: "I think, soon the eldest lady will talk to the fourth lady about this." ”
Yan Mingyu also smiled, and the matter was finally settled.
"But ......" the green leaves suddenly took a turn.
Cheng Shulan and Yan Mingyu's hearts suddenly tightened, and they asked in unison, "But what?" ”
"But the matter of Yefu has not been resolved yet."
Hearing this, Cheng Shulan and Yan Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, since there has been a change in family affairs, it turned out to be this matter, Yan Mingyu said: "Let them worry about this matter, if the government says that it is a concession, it is estimated that things will be much easier." ”
"Let what?" Cheng Shulan asked.
"Ye Mansion is in decline, Cheng Mansion is in full swing, Ye Mansion can just take advantage of this to let Cheng Mansion mention himself, Cheng Mansion agreed, Ye Mansion will naturally not be too entangled."
Cheng Shulan said: "The eldest lady is a person who refuses to suffer. ”
"Yes, the eldest lady is a person who refuses to suffer." Yan Mingyu re-said this, and at the same time thought of his deed of sale, tomorrow is the day when he agreed to get back the deed of sale, what kind of moth will Mrs. Cheng have?
At night, Yan Mingyu sat in the courtyard and watched the stars, the moon and the breeze, the stars were dotted, and Yan Mingyu was fascinated.
Watching Cheng Shulan get sleepy and go to sleep, in fact, Cheng Shulan's family affairs have been settled, she has her own little daughter's thoughts, and she also wants to be quiet.
And Yan Mingyu thought that the night of the Great Zhou Dynasty was really beautiful.
"Sister Mingyu, is the moon beautiful?" Green Leaf leaned up and asked.
Yan Mingyu turned his head to see that it was a green leaf, looked around, there was no one around, and asked, "Have they all gone to sleep?" ”
Green Leaf nodded: "Well, the female workers who have been in a hurry for a few days with green sleeves, green lotus, and green bamboo have slept very early today." Xu's mother picks up water to boil before dawn every day, and if she is fine, she also goes to bed early. ”
"Why don't you go to sleep? You're not sleepy? ”
Lu Ye said: "I'm not sleepy now, I see Sister Mingyu you are looking at the stars, I also come to see the stars, I look at the stars, I miss my mother." ”
"Where's your mother?"
"My mother is dead, and I am alone in the world." Green Leaf Road.
Green Leaf's words made Mingyu sad all of a sudden, she quietly listened to Green Leaf's chatter, saying how Green Leaf was sold by several people, and finally sold it to Cheng Mansion to be a maid for Miss Four, and when Green Leaf said that she was tired and sleepy and went to sleep, Yan Mingyu was still sitting in the courtyard, feeling that she was about to leave Cheng Mansion and leave Fuxia Garden to leave Miss Cheng Si, and suddenly wanted to see more of this courtyard, at the same time, Cheng Wentao flashed in her mind.
Twenty days, twenty days have passed, and he will be back in ten days.
Will she still be able to see him? Yan Mingyu couldn't help but take out the jade pendant and play with it in his hand.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, Yan Mingyu was startled, and turned his head to look at the door.
Knock knock.
Knock knock.
Suddenly, Yan Mingyu had a premonition, which prompted her heart to beat faster, Cheng Wentao?
She slowly stood up, and in the dim light, walked towards the gate, and asked softly, "Who?" ”
The knocking on the door stopped, and a clear voice came: "Mingyu." ”
I have to say that at this moment, Yan Mingyu was happy in her heart, she walked slowly to the gate, but did not open the door, separated by two doors, and asked, "Why are you back?" ”
"I just saw you holding the jade pendant I gave you." Cheng Wentao answered the question.
Yan Mingyu immediately put her hands behind her back, and at this time she was still holding his jade pendant in her hand.
Cheng Wentao let out a gentle laugh.
"Don't laugh." Yan Mingyu said.
Cheng Wentao said: "Okay." There was joy in his voice.
"When did you come back?" Yan Mingyu asked.
Cheng Wentao replied: "I just came back." ”
Although Cheng Wentao couldn't see her, she still bowed her head slightly. 166 Reading Network
