Chapter 292: Birthday (1)
Rui Xue and Zhi Xia waited outside for a long time before they saw Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan walking out together.
Both of them had red eyes, apparently having just cried. However, the eyebrows are bright and cheerful, and it is obvious that they have misunderstood that Bing Shi is reconciled as before.
Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him with a smile: "Miss, it's almost noon." Isn't it time to go to Rakumei-in? ”
Ye Qingning shook his head: "Don't go, go and tell the small kitchen to make something delicious." At noon today, the tenth sister also stayed for lunch together. ”
Ye Qinglan was stunned: "However, I haven't told my mother yet......"
"I'll have someone say it later." Ye Qingning said disapprerovingly, and then changed the conversation again: "If you go back, you will also see the face of the third aunt, maybe you will be punished for starvation, so it's better to stay." ”
I was thinking about this. Ye Qinglan's heart warmed, she couldn't bear to refuse this kindness, and nodded with a smile.
In the Hefeng Courtyard, the Xue family and Ye Yuanzhou brothers and sisters were sitting at the dinner table.
"Why hasn't the third sister come back yet?" Ye Qingfu complained impatiently: "I'm hungry." ”
Xue's eyes flashed: "Don't wait for her, let's eat first." ”
Ye Yuanzhou hurriedly said: "Let's wait!" Perhaps, she will be back soon......" Before the words fell, I saw a little maid running in hurriedly, and when she looked at it, it was Ying'er, the maid beside Ye Qinglan.
Ying'er respectfully reported: "Madam, Miss Sixth left Miss to have lunch in the Huancui Pavilion, and specially enslaved the maid to reply to Mrs. ”
Xue's brows furrowed. Ye Qingning used to be good friends with Ye Qinglan, and protected Ye Qinglan's girl everywhere. But isn't it awkward these days? I can't even say a few words when we meet, why are I sticky again?
Ye Yuanzhou was secretly happy in his heart, with Ye Qingning's protection, even if he was not in the mansion in the future, Ye Qinglan's life would not be too difficult.
Seeing Ye Yuanzhou's happy face, Xue could naturally guess what he was thinking. A nameless anger suddenly surged in his heart, but it was inconvenient to attack in front of everyone. I just suppressed the anger in my heart, and said lightly: "Okay, if Sister Lan doesn't come back, let's eat!" ”
After eating, the Xue family specially broke up Ye Qingfu, but called Ye Yuanzhou to the house to speak: "...... The Spring Exam has ended, and classes are about to start on Guozijian's side. You clean up, and tomorrow you will return to the prison. ”
Ye Yuanzhou was taken aback, and replied without thinking: "Mother." There are still five days left before the official class is held. It's useless for me to go back so early, so I might as well stay in the house and study my books......"
"There are three days left before Sister Lan'er's birthday." Xue interrupted Ye Yuanzhou with a smile: "Do you want to wait for her birthday before leaving?" ”
Ye Yuanzhou, who was said to have hit the nail on the head, was suddenly dumbfounded.
Xue's face turned cold: "Don't think you can hide your little thoughts from me." You go back and pack your belongings at once, and you will return to China tomorrow. ”
Where is Ye Yuanzhou willing to go. He begged, "Mother, let me stay in the house for a few more days before I go back!" I promise there will never be a ...... of walking in the walking pool."
"Guaranteed? What guarantees do you take? Xue sneered: "I just punished her for not eating a few meals, you are good, you changed the way to get rid of the people around her, and ran to the kitchen to find food for her." Didn't you slap me in the face in front of your subordinates? ”
Ye Yuanzhou didn't dare to tell the difference. Only a strong whispered pleading. Xue Shi was so hard-hearted that he couldn't listen to a word: "Okay, don't say anything." That's it! Tomorrow I will go back to my country. As long as you stay in the Guozi Prison with peace of mind, I won't be too embarrassed Sister Lan. If you still have any thoughts, then I will be unkind to Sister Lan. She's thirteen years old, which isn't too young. I am her mother-in-law. It's time to worry about her family affairs...... "As a mother-in-law, it's easy to pick a "agreeable" family affair for her concubine.
Ye Yuanzhou heard the meaning of Xue's words, and his handsome face suddenly turned white. What Ye Qinglan said suddenly flashed in his mind.
If my eldest brother is really good for me. After that, stay away from me, and let me live a few days of pure life. I couldn't be more grateful!
Yes, it's because of his mother that she is embarrassed everywhere. If he leaves, it will be a good thing for her......
Ye Yuanzhou felt a faint throbbing pain in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Mother." I'll listen to you and leave tomorrow. You hold up your noble hand. Don't always embarrass her in the future. ”
When Xue Shi heard this, he was angry and slapped the table: "Where have you read the sage books for so many years, is this how you talk to me?" ”
Ye Yuanzhou lowered his head: "I'm sorry, mother." The child was in a hurry, and he didn't speak, and he hoped that his mother would not take it to heart. ”
The more Xue thought about it, the more annoyed he felt, but he didn't want to hurt the relationship between mother and son too much, so he suppressed all the anger in his heart and said lightly: "Okay, you go back and pack your clothes and luggage first." Naturally, I will deal with things in the yard. ”
Ye Yuanzhou didn't dare to say more, and retreated silently.
After Ye Yuanzhou's figure disappeared in front of him, Xue's face suddenly became gloomy, and his eyes flashed with cold anger. This girl is simply a thorn in her eye, and she is not at ease if she doesn't pull it out for a day......
After Ye Qinglan knew the news that Ye Yuanzhou was going to return to the country, she was in a very happy mood. Ye Yuanzhou is a time bomb, no one knows what he will do when. The sooner you go, the better!
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Qinglan deliberately pretended to be late and avoided seeing Ye Yuanzhou off.
Seeing that Ye Qinglan was so knowledgeable, the anger in Xue's heart finally dispersed a little.
After Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning reconciled, they resumed their previous entry and exit together. When Zheng saw the two girls coming together, there was a smile in his eyes, but he pretended to be surprised on his face: "Why did you two come here together?" Isn't it awkward? ”
Ye Qingning remembered his previous angry appearance, and couldn't help blushing, and stomped his feet coquettishly: "Mother made fun of me!" ”
Zheng hadn't seen her lively little daughter for a long time, and he was naturally happy in his heart. On the same day, the two of them were left to have dinner together.
After Xue Shi found out, he was naturally unhappy. Zheng did this, obviously hinting to her not to trouble Ye Qinglan again. She is a mother-in-law, and if she wants to rectify her concubine, she still has to look at other people's faces, which is really a wretch.
But the Zheng family is the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, needless to say, with a strong maiden background, she will inevitably take charge of Changyuan Bofu in the future. Such a person must not be offended. I had to swallow this sulking breath and try to plan for it in the future......
The seventh day of the third month is fast approaching.
According to the custom of the house, the birthday of the children is not a big event, and a family banquet is usually held in the courtyard. As for whether Chang Yuanbo and his wife are present or not, it depends on their mood.
The Xue family was reluctant to celebrate Ye Qinglan's birthday, but with so many pairs of eyes in the house, it was not good to be too casual so as not to fall into the mouth. When I went to Changhetang to ask for peace in the morning, I mentioned the matter to Jiang with a smile: "...... Sister Lan'er is thirteenth birthday today, and her daughter-in-law plans to let the kitchen cook some good dishes and set a table in the Hefeng Courtyard. ”
Jiang Shi snorted casually: "You can just look at this matter." "Obviously there are no plans to attend.
Xue was secretly happy in his heart, so he heard Ye Qingning interject with a smile: "Grandmother, when the eighth cousin celebrated her birthday last year, you rewarded the eighth cousin with a pair of jade bracelets, and I looked very greedy at the time. Now it's the turn of the tenth sister to celebrate her birthday, what good things does grandmother want to reward? ”
Jiang: "......"
Ye Qinglan didn't expect Ye Qingning to open her mouth to ask for a gift for her, and she was a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly smiled: "Sixth sister is laughing again." I'm not a companion, it's just an ordinary birthday, where is I embarrassed to ask my grandmother to reward something. ”
It's embarrassing to say it, but Ye Qingning's words have already come out, if Jiang Shi doesn't say anything at all, wouldn't it seem too stingy?
In front of a group of daughters-in-law, grandchildren, grandchildren, and granddaughters-in-law, the Jiang family always had to save face, and immediately smiled: "Sister Lan's birthday, I, as a grandmother, of course have to reward some good things." Xiangling, go and get the pair of red gold bracelets on the dressing mirror. ”
Xiangling took the order and went, and after a while, he came out with a pair of bracelets. Sure enough, the color is full and heavy, and there are at least about three taels each. Although the workmanship is not particularly exquisite, such jewelry is the easiest to exchange for silver.
Ye Qinglan smiled and thanked her.
After leaving Changhe Hall, Ye Qinglan laughed in a low voice: "Sixth sister, thank you so much today." If you hadn't opened my mouth, I wouldn't have gotten a bunch of red gold bracelets for nothing. ”
Ye Qingning looked dissatisfied, and muttered in a low voice: "Grandmother is really stingy." Last year, when the eighth cousin celebrated her birthday, the pair of jade bracelets she rewarded were very good. It's worth a lot more than this Rausch red gold bracelet. This kind of ordinary style and old-fashioned bracelet is not suitable for you to wear at all. ”
"It would be nice to have." Ye Qinglan was very open, pursed her lips and smiled: "It's better than nothing." ”
Ye Qingning smiled and didn't say anything.
At noon, Ye Qingning and Cui Wan went to Hefeng Courtyard together. The Xue family knew that the two of them were good friends with Ye Qinglan, and they were not surprised by their arrival, so they welcomed them into the dining room with a smile.
In front of the Xue family, Ye Qingning smiled and glanced at Chong Zhixia. Zhixia immediately understood, smiled and presented the delicate wooden box in his hand to Ye Qinglan.
"Tenth sister, your birthday, this is my little heart." Ye Qingning said it lightly, but a trace of smugness flashed in his eyes: "You open it and see if you like it." ”
Ye Qinglan took the box with a smile: "The sixth sister gave it, of course I like it." As he spoke, he opened the box, and when he saw the contents of the box, he was suddenly shaken.
It turned out to be a huge box of pearls. At a cursory glance, there are at least twenty or so. Each one is crystal clear and round, exuding a soft but dazzling light-
Let's guess, Qinglan celebrates her birthday, will Gu Si appear?
