It's also that Xue Shi is too blind.

Ye Chengli came back today to be lifted everywhere, and he was happy in his heart, and he planned to praise Ye Qinglan well. She said such a thing cracklingly, and it would be strange if Ye Chengli was happy when she heard it.

Ye Qinglan looked at Ye Chengli gratefully and movingly, tears were falling in her big eyes, and she choked up and said, "Thank you father for showing compassion to her daughter." These days, my daughter has also listened to a lot of gossip, and I have always felt very uncomfortable......" said, two tears slowly slipped down the corners of her eyes, looking helpless and pitiful.

Xue secretly said that it was not good.

Sure enough, Ye Chengli looked over unhappily: "How did you let these words reach Sister Lan'er's ears?" She is still young and delicate, where can she stand up to these gossip! ”

Xue's heart to vomit blood is gone. It's true that Ye Qinglan is not very old, but how can she be half delicate? Sharp teeth and sharp mouth are not worth their lives, and they are the best at pretending, Ye Chengli has always been deceived and convinced, and now his heart is completely biased towards Ye Qinglan......

Ye Qinglan hurriedly wiped away her tears with her sleeve and took the initiative to defend the Xue family: "Father is wrong to blame my mother for saying this." In the past month, in order not to let me think nonsense, my mother has been ordering the cook and embroidery to teach me to learn cooking and female red, and my mother also personally taught me to learn the skills of accounting and housekeeping, and my daughter is grateful to her mother from the bottom of her heart for her careful teaching. Although I was a little busy, my daughter really learned a lot! ”

…… Obviously, every sentence is a praise for Xue's words, but why does it always sound a little weird?

Ye Chengli glanced at Xue, whose face was uncertain, before asking, "Sister Lan, you learn so much every day." Isn't it too tired? ”

Ye Qinglan is well versed in the skill of complaining, and does not say that Xue's is not. On the contrary, he said good things for Xue's everywhere: "I'm tired, I'm tired, but what my mother said also makes sense." My second sister and I are not young, if we don't take advantage of the fact that we learn more about our skills now, we will be disliked by my husband's family when I marry into my husband's family in the future. Second sister, do you say? ”

"That being said, it's just too hard." Ye Qingfu has suffered so much these days, she has long been full of complaints, and when she heard this, she immediately stretched out her hand to complain: "Father, look, my hand is blistered and poked by a needle, and it hurts a lot to touch it." My mother didn't let us rest, and every morning we learned to cook, in the afternoon, and in the evening, we learned to read the accounts. I'm almost exhausted......"

Xue's face darkened when he heard this, and he coughed heavily.

Ye Qingfu rarely seized the opportunity to sue, and had a gushing posture, she couldn't stop at all, and she didn't look at Xue Shi and continued: "That's it, my mother will leave after-school tasks for me and my third sister every day, if we don't complete it the next day, we will be counted down fiercely." Compared to the third sister, I finally have more time. The third sister has to find time to practice the piano every day! ”

Ye Qinglan was happy when she heard it. Ye Qingfu really cooperated. She only got up, and she poured beans into a bamboo tube and said it generally! This effect is much better than complaining about a handful of snot and tears.

Ye Chengli's face really sank. The Xue family treats their own daughter like this, let alone what will happen to Ye Qinglan......

Xue was surging with anger. glared at Ye Qingfu fiercely: "You still have the face to say." After the New Year, you will be fifteen, you don't know anything about cooking, and female celebrities are common. I can't even embroider a purse. You can fall asleep halfway through the book, a character like you. In the future, if you marry into your in-law's family, it is strange not to be disliked! I'm demanding more from you now. It's not all for your own good. ”

This confession was obviously for Ye Chengli.

Ye Chengli's tense face really eased a little, but he still said: "Even so, you have to pay attention to the combination of work and rest." If they are really tired and sick, the gains outweigh the losses. After a pause, he said, "That's it!" From tomorrow onwards, each class will be practiced for only one hour. In the morning, I practiced cooking, I learned to read the accounts in the afternoon, and I didn't assign any homework in the evening. ”

This makes it much easier than before.

Ye Qingfu suddenly smiled happily, and Ye Qinglan was also comfortable. Xue's heart was very unhappy, but since Ye Chengli opened her mouth, she could only reluctantly agree.

The trivial matters were almost over, and Ye Chengli asked about Hongxuan again: "Why haven't you seen Hongxuan since you came back?" ”

As soon as Hongxuan was mentioned, Xue's heart was panicked, and in front of Ye Chengli, he tried his best to make a virtuous and generous mother-in-law: "Hongxuan's body is bulky, and she is about to give birth, and the concubine specially told her to rest in the house." If the master can't rest assured, it's better to go to Hongxuan's house first. ”

The last sentence is purely a scene. It stands to reason that on the first night Ye Chengli came back, she should have rested in her wife's house no matter what.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chengli really nodded: "It's okay, I'll go see Hongxuan now, what is there to say tomorrow." ”

Xue: "......"

After Ye Chengli left, Xue's face became gloomy.

Ye Qinglan retreated without saying a word, Ye Qingfu was a step late, and was forced to face Xue's almost cannibalistic eyes, and her heart was sad and bitter. Third sister, third sister, you are so unrighteous, how can you slip away and leave me alone so quickly, woo......

The next morning, Ye Qingfu had big dark circles under her eyes, like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost.

Ye Qinglan couldn't help laughing, and said with a sense of concern: "Mother didn't scold you yesterday!" ”

Ye Qingfu looked at Ye Qinglan with tears in her eyes: "I scolded me for half an hour, and I didn't even dare to raise my head." Later, my mother's voice was hoarse, and she repeatedly scolded me for being a white-eyed wolf with no conscience. I'm really worried that she will continue to scold me when she sees me today......"

"It's pathetic." Ye Qinglan resisted the urge to burst into laughter, and comforted with a sympathetic face: "Mother, that's a momentary angry talk, don't take it to heart." I guess after last night, my mother's anger has almost disappeared, and I will definitely not scold you again today. ”

I hope so! Ye Qingfu let out a long sigh.

Ye Chengli went to the Ministry of Officials early in the morning. At the end of the year, when the hundred officials were being assessed, there were officials coming in and out of the official office of the Ministry of Officials, and they were very busy. Ye Chengli waited for a long time before being received by the head of the ministry. After a routine debriefing and interrogation, there will be follow-up investigations and performance evaluations, and finally the evaluation of hundreds of officials. When the results come out, it will already be a matter of years later.

When he came out of the deacon who was in charge, even on a cold day, fine beads of sweat appeared on Ye Chengli's forehead, and he greeted the familiar faces who were still waiting in line outside.

At this moment, the figure of a slender and elegant young man came into view.

Ye Chengli was stunned, and he didn't know how to react for a while. In terms of official positions, I should take the initiative to say hello. can talk about identity, but he is an elder. Besides, how can there be any reason for the future father-in-law to take the initiative to greet his son-in-law......

While Ye Chengli was hesitating, the handsome young man dressed in the Sanpin Mansion had already walked over with a smile, and naturally gave the junior salute: "My nephew has seen my uncle." ”

…… After a while, it will be "the virtuous son-in-law has seen the father-in-law".

Ye Chengli and Gu Xinian thought in unison, and then, Ye Chengli smiled politely and casually: "Hurry up and be polite, it's the end of the year, the household department must be very busy, how can you have time to come to the ministry." ”

Of course, I'm here to get in touch with my future father-in-law!

Gu Xinian thought secretly in his heart, but there was a polite smile on Jun's face: "Originally, I came to Xie Shangshu for some official business, but I didn't expect to meet my uncle by chance." It's almost noon, it's better to meet by chance, and at noon today, I will let my nephew be a host, and I hope my uncle will appreciate his face. ”

Ye Chengli hesitated slightly, then nodded in response.

Ye Chengli is not a hairy boy who has no experience in the world, what is going on with today's "coincidence", in fact, he knows it well. Of course, he could turn down this invitation from his future father-in-law...... However, such an excellent son-in-law is really satisfying. Therefore, Ye Chengli still decided to go to the appointment.

The two are just in-laws who are beating around the corner, and they have met a few times and said a few polite words that are not painful, but they are really not familiar with each other. However, under Gu Xinian's unobtrusive gestures, the two chatted about things like the court and government affairs, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

As the conversation deepened, Ye Chengli couldn't help but be secretly moved by Gu Xinian's sophisticated and vicious eyes and shrewd and sharp words. Originally, he planned to interrogate Gu Xinian a few words about him and Ye Qinglan, but now he didn't care about it at all, and focused on discussing political affairs with Gu Xinian.

The dishes are exquisite, the wine is mellow, and the conversation is very speculative. This lunch can be regarded as a pleasure for both guests and hosts.

After eating and drinking, and chatting to the fullest, it's time to leave.

Ye Chengli hesitated for a moment, and was about to ask something, when he heard Gu Xinian say with a smile: "I wonder if my uncle intends to stay in the capital to serve?" ”

Ye Chengli's eyes lit up, and his tone was unconsciously eager: "Of course I want to stay, but the assessment in the past few years has always been B-class, but I'm afraid it will not be easy to get a good official position." ”

Gu Xinian smiled: "It stands to reason that Uncle Changyuan and the two uncles are running around in this matter, and there is no need for nephews to have many troubles." However, my nephew happens to be very familiar with Xie Shangshu from the Ministry of Officials, so it's no problem to say hello to you. If the uncle wants to stay in the capital,. I also have some acquaintances in the six parts, but I don't know which one my uncle likes, but my nephew can help with one or two. ”

The words were understated, but the meaning revealed in the words made Ye Chengli's heart bloom. This is simply six of them at his disposal! This is much more positive and enthusiastic than my own father's attitude! Having a good son-in-law is really a pleasant thing!

However, each of the six departments has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is impossible to decide which department is better to go to for a while...... (To be continued......)
