Chapter 12: Unsolved Mysteries

Chapter XII

Seeing that Ye Jinhui didn't speak, Shen slowed down his voice, "When you see the wives of the Yao family later, you have to happily go forward to say hello, and remember to invite the girls of the Yao family to come to our house to play." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info if you can coax them to make them happy, my mother will send you a set of Nanzhu head noodles at that time. ”

Ye Jinhui remembered for no reason the last time the Ye family invited Mrs. Hu's mother and daughter, that time the Ye family also gave the Yao family an invitation, but no one from the Yao family attended, but her mother could not coax her to please the Yao family without any mustard, only explained that the matter of the new prefect's wife was revealed to the Shen family by the Yao family, otherwise what the old lady Ye and the second wife did not know, it would be impossible for Mrs. Ye to know it without leaving the house.

"Zhenzhen'er, is there anything else you don't understand?" Seeing that Ye Jinhui only lowered his head, Shen stared at her for a while, and his tone became stern, "A-Niang taught you the principles of being a man, you have to remember it well, whether you can understand it or not, you must respond, don't be like a turtle, don't say nothing." ”

These words really covered the image of his mother in Ye Jinhui's memory, so he had to whisper: "There are so many people who come to incense today, maybe we won't meet people from the Yao family at all." ”

Shen laughed, "Buddhism Holy Land, everything is just a word 'fate', even if you can't meet it today, you will meet it another day, you and the Yao family brother made a marriage book last year, if you can get the love of the old lady and the wives of the Yao family, you will not be rubbed in the future." A-Niang said this, isn't it for your good? With a stiff face, like I owe you money. ”

Ye Jinhui really didn't know what to say.

Although the folk customs of Fujian are open, those mothers will not teach these things when their daughters are four or five years old, right?

Shen didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his words, so he took Ye Jinhui to the direction of the guest room nursing home as a matter of course.

Before he was halfway through, he was stopped by Xiao Cui, "The slave maid has borrowed a place to rest with the master in the temple, but there are too many people who come to worship the Buddha today, so I can only grieve the wife and the wives of the Yao family to crowd in a courtyard." ”

"If it's the Yao family, it's okay, I've been tired for half a day, so it's better to go over earlier." Shen pulled Ye Jinhui, and even his footsteps were a little faster, and Ye Jinhui almost had to trot to keep up.

Ye Jinhui didn't want to see the Yao family at all, so he struggled hard and said, "A-Niang, I'm tired, I can't walk so fast." ”

Shen let go, "Then you go slowly, I'll go first." ”

As he spoke, Shen's footsteps were faster than before.

Ye Jinhui simply stood there and watched the hawkers go to the pilgrims to take business.

Xiaocui turned back, stretched out her hand towards Ye Jinhui and said, "The eldest girl is tired, the slave is holding you." The wives of the Yao family must have prepared a lot of gifts for you. ”

The Yao family is willing to marry this family business, but they just want to borrow the power of the Qian family, and now the future of the Qian family is uncertain, and the Yao family is too late to hide from the Ye family, how can they prepare gifts for her? Indeed, there is a master, and there must be a servant.

Ye Jinhui didn't plan to answer Xiaocui's words, but said, "Mother asked you to come?" ”

Mother is afraid that as soon as she leaves, she will chase after her in a panic, right?

Xiaocui: "The eldest girl is so smart, it was the eldest lady who asked the slave to do this." The person that the eldest lady cares about the most is you, girl. As he spoke, he hugged Ye Jinhui.

Ye Jinhui giggled, "Sister Xiaocui is beautiful and has a lot of strength. ”

Xiaocui only thought that Ye Jinhui was a four-year-old child, and said hesitantly: "Big girl, the slave maid is fifteen this year, how can she have any strength." ”

The women of this dynasty are beautiful in their chastity, quietness and suppleness, and in Xiao Cui's opinion, great strength is not a compliment.

"How long have you been with your mother?" Ye Jinhui looked curious.

The little girl of this age had endless questions, and Xiaocui answered her very patiently, "When the slave maid was ten years old, my father went out to sea to fish and never came back, and A-Niang was forced by them to marry someone else, so I was bought by the old lady to serve my wife, at that time, the old lady was like her own girl, and there were three maids around ...... wife," she said and suddenly paused, "Hey, I told you what to do here, and you don't understand." ”

Ye Jinhui looked puzzled, "I didn't understand." Are you in those three maids? ”

Xiaocui: "I just entered the mansion at that time, I was young and didn't understand anything, so I could only start from the third class, and the three around the girl were all second-class." ”

Ye Jinhui: "I understand, someone must have been transferred elsewhere to make up for you." ”

Xiao Cui smiled, "How can it be so simple?" The third class is five hundred dollars a month, and the second class is one or two silver a month, and everyone sharpens their heads and gathers up beside the girls. At that time, the wife happened to marry into the Ye family, and the old lady married a total of four maids, taking the meaning of 'everything goes well'. ”

Mrs. Ye has only been married for five years, what happened to make the three big girls around her disappear? Ye Jinhui was very curious, but he stopped smartly.

Xiao Cui had already carried her into the guest room.

"Re-groom her." Mrs. Ye commanded.

Gui Zhi couldn't do this kind of thing, Xiao Cui took the initiative to take over the work, re-combed Ye Jinhui's hair that was originally tied at random, brought two light purple head flowers, changed to a short shirt of the same color, a white silk skirt, a golden collar around his neck, and hung a name lock and amulet.

Mrs. Ye personally took her hand and went to the opposite room.

Before entering the door, two maids wearing green skirts and pink bichiats greeted them with a smile, "Big lady, please, our old lady and the two ladies and girls are waiting inside." ”

A very affectionate look.

When Ye Jinhui's mother and daughter entered, the old lady sitting at the top smiled and said: "You girl, you haven't been playing with us for a long time, but now you can just come over and talk when you meet it, and you specially asked the maid to come over after asking, who are we with whom, why do you need to see each other like this." As he spoke, he beckoned to Ye Jinhui again, "Good boy, come here, let me take a look." ”

Ye Jinhui thought that Mrs. Ye Da led this "chance encounter", but now he is uncertain.

But it is certain that Mrs. Ye has carefully prepared for this chance encounter. As for the Yao family, it was very different from what she had imagined before, she thought that the Yao family would retreat from the Ye family, but she didn't expect that the Yao family did not object to the exchanges between the two families.

And Mrs. Ye also looked like a matter of course, Ye Jinhui became more and more puzzled in his heart, but with a just right smile on his face, he seriously saluted the old lady of the Yao family, and let her take her hand and look at it.

"The eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, the physique is even, and she must be a beauty when she grows up." The old lady of the Yao family said, took off a jade bracelet from her hand, and put it on Ye Jinhui's wrist, "This bracelet is a ...... I often wear."

As far as Ye Jinhui knows, her grandmother, Mrs. Ye, is like this, there are many unmarried men in the family, and when she sees the little girl, she appreciates "valuable" things, and when she opens her mouth, she must say that it is an object that she often plays with. hurriedly excused himself: "Old lady, this thing is too valuable, and the younger generation deserves it." ”

When the beautiful woman sitting at the bottom heard this, she couldn't help but be amazed, "This little niece speaks like Da Lang, and she speaks in a good way." ”

Mrs. Ye said modestly: "Second wife, don't praise her so much, she is a child, and she only began to read and write some time ago." He said to Ye Jinhui again: "The old lady gave it, you can take it." ”

Ye Jinhui didn't want to rebel against her mother in front of everyone, so she had to accept it, but she didn't want to have too much to do with the Yao family, so she solemnly gave the things to Mrs. Ye, "Mother will help me take it first, people are coming and going today, and I am afraid that I will lose it." ”

The woman sitting next to Mrs. Yao also laughed, "You kid, you are cautious and meticulous. You have a lot of these things in your house. As she spoke, she stared at the agate bracelet in her hand.

Mrs. Ye said: "These two are your Aunt Yao and Second Aunt Yao, so don't hurry up and see the ceremony." ”

When Ye Jinhui saluted, the two wives of the Yao family also had corresponding things to give, the eldest wife was an agate pendant, and the second wife was a pair of gold bracelets.

Ye Jinhui received the things, and couldn't help but sigh at the generosity of the Yao family, and at the same time had some doubts, according to the fact that the ship division in Quanzhou had been built for so long, how could the Ye family, who were the in-laws of the Qian family, suddenly become so frugal?

But there are too few memories of her previous life, and she only remembers the scene of the extravagant and wealthy Ye family in the capital.

The words on Mrs. Ye's lips in her previous life were, "My old lady used to be a thousand households in Quanzhou, and he happened to rely on the boat berth, and the land left on the single ancestor was enough for several generations to chew." ”

Moreover, although the Ye family has lost the number of people now, and they are very frugal in their food, Mrs. Ye really has a lot of good things in her hands, just like today, the Yao family's things are not bad, but Mrs. Ye is commonplace. Ye Jinhui is almost certain that Mrs. Ye's dowry must be very rich, and in the previous life, the whereabouts of these properties have become unsolved mysteries.
