Chapter 276
The bangzi who returned to the palace and went out of the palace have already been knocked. Ye Minwen was tired after a day of playing, so he fell asleep in Yulan's arms in the car. When he got home, Yulan first asked someone to take a thick cloak, and Ye Yichen wrapped his son in the cloak and carried him all the way back to the main courtyard.
Ye Minwen was placed first, and the two returned to the main room to freshen up. Changing into a middle coat and lying on the couch, Yulan thought about this day, and couldn't sleep for a while, so he asked Ye Yichen: "What did grandfather and Du say to you?" That's half a day! ”
Ye Yichen smiled and hugged her into his arms, and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that you discussed the matter of the third uncle with me, and discussed the future of the Yang family!" ”
"What?" Yulan was taken aback, "This kind of thing, grandfather doesn't discuss it with his father and uncles, how can he discuss it with you, an outsider?" ”
"How am I an outsider?" remembered that in order to marry Yulan, but like the old lady promised, he would try his best to support the Yang family, but he didn't expect the old lady to really talk to him about the affairs of the Yang family today.
Ye Yichen was obviously very dissatisfied with the word "outsider", and reached out to pinch her bulging chest, Yulan couldn't help but exclaim. "Lord Wang......" hurriedly grabbed his evil hand, and the two of them were close together, and she felt his physical reaction at once. Yulan's breathing became a little rapid.
Ye Yichen played too much and couldn't control it himself. Reluctantly, he pulled his hand out of her arms. "The fourth master is coming back this time, Xiao Zongchang is afraid that it will not be so easy for him to find a good shortage!" He turned the subject back again. Yulan remembered that Xiao Zongchang was the leader of the Xiao Party, he was the secretary of the ministry, and the fourth master turned out to be the prefect of the fourth grade.
Yulan said a little strangely: "The Xiao family and the Yang family don't have any enmity, right?" ”
Ye Yichen kissed Yulan's sideburns and reminded her with a smile: "Take a long-term view, this is not a matter of personal vendetta." Yulan thought about it according to his train of thought, and suddenly said, "I understand." The Yang family is the maiden family of the crown princess, Xiao Zongchang is stuck in the fourth uncle's promotion path, and everyone will only feel that the prince has lost power, and even the foreign family has been implicated. The crown prince naturally became even more popular. ”
Ye Yichen happily kissed Yulan's sideburns: "My daughter-in-law is so smart!" ”
Yulan said with some concern: "Then what should I do?" ”
"Your old lady has to worry about these things, even if I can't control it, don't worry about it! If he can't even do this idea, how can he stand tall for three dynasties! ”
Yulan originally thought that the old lady wanted to ask Ye Yichen for help in this matter, but it turned out that it was not. Ye Yichen sighed and said, "The Yang family, after all, the foundation is too shallow. "Before the rise of the old lady, the Yang family was just an ordinary family, and the most important condition of the big family was relatively lacking. That is, the population is too small.
If there are few people, it is impossible to have many talents, and if a family wants to prosper and prosper for several generations, it will definitely not work without talent.
Ye Yichen said: "Whether the Yang family can become a real wealthy family in the future depends on the third uncle!" ”
"Really?" Yulan didn't expect him to have such a high evaluation of Chengzong. Ye Yichen smiled and touched her cheek: "The old lady thinks so too." Therefore, he wanted me to use my connections in the army to arrange for my third uncle to go around and have a look. ”
"This ......" She originally thought that the old lady saw the potential of Chengzong and would take him with him to teach him by word and deed. I didn't expect him to arrange it like this. "Does the third brother know about this matter himself?"
Ye Yichen smiled and said, "This matter was brought up by the third uncle. ”
Yulan was slightly stunned. The ancients said that it was better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, but the traffic conditions at that time were extremely backward, and many people did not go out of the ten miles radius of their lives in their lives.
At that time, it was too hard to go out, so Cheng Zong was already very admirable just because he had this kind of thought. If ordinary people fail in this subject, they will all go home and study hard, preparing for the next exam, and Chengzong is really different.
Probably, he has absolute confidence in himself!
Yulan was also a little relieved, since ancient times, those who can achieve great careers are not people who have absolute confidence in themselves.
"Then did the prince agree?"
"It's just a trivial matter, so naturally there's nothing you don't agree to." Ye Yichen was stunned, and then said: "The third uncle didn't pass this subject, it's definitely a good thing for him!" Otherwise, the young jinshi, a smooth wind, even if it is not shown on the surface, it is inevitable that there is no dust under the eyes, so suffer more hardship, first go outside to see the world, come back to the old lady and then take it with him to teach for two years, and the lintel will be no problem in the future! ”
Yulan was naturally very much in favor of Chengzong's choice, but after thinking about it, he felt that there were some problems: "The third brother is not too young, and his wife should also give him a marriage affair, if he leaves like this, won't the marriage be delayed." ”
Ye Yichen laughed: "Why does the eldest husband have no wife, the future of the third uncle is unlimited, what kind of woman can't marry, naturally there is no hurry at this time." When this king married you, he was much older than his third uncle. ”
Yulan said angrily: "How can you be the same as the third brother!" "You have a wife before, okay, and the sons are several years old. After thinking about it, she was relieved, those who have achieved a small career in modern society, which one is not married at the age of thirty or forty, and Chengzong is only seventeen years old this year.
She was shocked to realize that she had been slowly assimilated into this ancient society, and even her way of thinking had gradually become similar to that of the ancients.
"Since both grandfather and prince think it is good, it must be good. I just don't know when the third brother of Lu Dao will set off, which route to take, and who people to serve? As he spoke, he thought that he would discuss with Mother Qian tomorrow and send something to Chengzong!
"These things will naturally be notified to us when they are decided, so you don't have to worry about it!"
Yulan thinks about it. Chengzong even survived such a big thing as the scientific research case, and there should be no problem with going out to travel.
Ye Yichen sighed: "The old lady didn't raise a good son, but raised a good grandson!" There was a little envy in his tone.
Yulan couldn't help but spat him: "Is there anyone like you who plucks the elders like this?" ”
Ye Yichen didn't take a few masters in his eyes, "I'm just telling the truth!" I couldn't help but reach out and touch Yulan's belly: "It is said that nephews are like uncles, if only our son could have the mental ability of the third uncle!" ”
In a few days, it will be the first day of inheritance and marriage. Yulan's congratulatory gift had already been sent over, and it was inconvenient for her to go herself, so she sent Xiaoyue over from the day the bride got married, and on the day of the day, she supervised Ye Yichen to eat and drink. Ye Yichen couldn't cry or laugh, and said vigorously that he had never forgotten this incident.
When Ye Yichen came back drunk, Yulan asked him to tell him how the wedding was going, how many tables were set, how the banquet was done, but Ye Yichen was stopped by her. In the end, I had no choice but to say: "I'm a big man, I just eat and drink, where do I care about these bits and pieces." ”
The rain is frustrating.
Fortunately, Xiaoyue inquired about most of the things clearly and reported to Yulan in every detail. The bride listened to the dowry of 20,000 taels, and the dowry alone was 128 lifts, which were so full that not a single finger could be inserted. Carried from the Korean Mansion to the Yang Mansion, it was also a city of onlookers, and everyone was envious. The second wife's face was bright, and she was very happy.
Yulan listened and nodded thoughtfully. The Korean Mansion, known as the "First Minister" when Taizu, although the dynasty has declined, is not the first minister of the emperor's side, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there is still a strength to be underestimated in the court and the army. Yulan had long heard that Miss Eleven of the Korean Mansion was very loved by her parents and grandparents at home, and it was reasonable to be able to buy such a rich dowry for her.
Because of the major event of the scientific research case just now, the Yang family has long become the focus of the government and the opposition, so the old lady has repeatedly asked to keep a low profile, Rao is so, the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard still set up a total of sixty or seventy tables, and kissed the famous three major opera troupes to sing, and people inside and outside are very satisfied.
It's a pity that Xiaoyue can't enter the newlyweds' new house and can't see the bride, but fortunately, within a few days, the second wife personally brought the bride to visit the door, which satisfied Yulan's curiosity.
Yulan's body and bones have gradually improved these days, and she didn't feel any discomfort when she went back to her parents' house, so she went to the door to pick up the second wife and her new sister-in-law. Also with the second girl, Yujia.
When I arrived at the main house, it was already summer, the weather was getting hotter, and I walked all the way, although there were maids playing umbrellas, but everyone was still sweating on their foreheads. Yulan was weak and didn't dare to use ice in the house, but the windows were open in all directions, so Yulan said apologetically: "I'm weak, I'm pregnant, and the prince doesn't call ...... with ice." ”
The little maid handed over the handkerchief that had been twisted with cold water, but it was the young woman standing behind the second lady who took it and respectfully presented it to the second lady with both hands. The service is very thoughtful.
She was wearing a red and gold shirt, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, and her posture was respectful and virtuous. What does it look like, Yulan looks good at the door of the Hanging Flower Gate, but I'm a little sorry for the audience!
Thinking about the big brother's dignified appearance, Yulan began to have to light a wax for him in his heart!
The second wife happily took the handkerchief handed over by her daughter-in-law, wiped it on her face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay!" Judging from her demeanor, she was indifferent to this daughter-in-law, and she didn't look very satisfied.
The grandmother didn't care at all, and the waiter was very thoughtful.
When the little maid brought up the mung bean soup, sour plum soup and watermelon, Yulan saw that Grandma Yang was still standing there, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, you can also sit down, this hot day, also sit down and drink a bowl of soup to cool off!" ”
The eldest grandmother smiled and said: "I received the heart of the seventh aunt and grandmother, but my mother-in-law is here, and I should stand and serve my mother-in-law!" ”
Yulan was slightly stunned and went to see the second wife. Yu Jia interjected on the side: "Grandma is not an outsider, if you are asked to sit, you will sit!" ”
The eldest grandmother went to see the second wife again, Yujia was the pearl of the second wife's palm, and the second wife naturally didn't want to save her face, so she nodded and said, "My aunt told you to sit, and you sat down!" ”
The eldest grandmother sat down generously.
The second wife said with a smile; "Your eldest brother got married, and you didn't go to drink the wedding wine, so you have been thinking about it, so you brought your new sister-in-law over to get to know you."
Yulan covered her sleeves and smiled: "Who doesn't know that the second aunt of Lu Dao loves me the most!" I've been thinking about what excuse I've been trying to find for the past two days to go back to my parents' house and take a look at my sister-in-law. Coco, you're here, isn't this equivalent to bringing me a pillow when you're sleepy! ”
The second wife burst out laughing. The maids inside and outside the house also laughed. The second wife glanced at the eldest grandmother, quite a bit of a demonstration, and the eldest grandmother lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, as if she didn't see it, and laughed there. Yulan sensed that the atmosphere between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was a little wrong.
The second wife is the aunt of the eldest grandmother! What the hell is going on?
She glanced at Yujia, and the second girl was also smiling there, but the smile was very reluctant. From the moment they met, she felt that the second girl was not in a high mood, her brother had just gotten married, and the second girl should be happy, how could this be?
Could it be that something is going on at home?
Yulan secretly left his heart. She always felt that this family was a little strange now.
Without a trace, the topic was introduced to the wedding of the ancestors. The second wife personally Zhang Luo's wedding, a table and a chair have not been seen in person, and they are really interested in this topic, Yu Jia also cheered up and followed a few words. The atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.
The eldest grandmother doesn't talk much, but she talks elegantly, advances and retreats to a certain extent, and is generous, and at first glance she is a character with a blue heart. It didn't take long for Yulan to have a good impression of her, remembering that Yujia once said that if she looked better, the Korean Gong Li family would be ready to send her to the palace.
With such a high evaluation, Yulan didn't believe it before, but now he believes it all.
I can't help but feel that although she is not as beautiful as the top, she is worthy of her ancestors. It is said that there are few wives and good husbands, if Chengzu finds someone like Xiao Yunqian, even if he is admitted to the Jinshi, I am afraid that this official will not last long.
Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, taking a concubine, there is such a wife who knows the general situation in the backyard, and the road of the eldest brother will only get wider and wider after inheriting the ancestors.
It's just that the second wife is not satisfied with this daughter-in-law?
Yulan said tentatively to the second wife: "You are in charge of the eldest brother's marriage, and everyone has lost a lot of weight. Now that my sister-in-law has entered the door, she is your niece again, and there will be someone to help you with family affairs in the future. You can also take off your burden and save a lot of money. ”
The second wife said lightly: "I want to put this burden down, but I don't know if others can pick it up!" ”
The eldest grandmother and younger siblings said pleasantly: "My daughter-in-law is young and ignorant, and she can't stand anything, so she should follow her mother to learn for a few more years." "The attitude is very respectful and supple, and he is polite everywhere, so that the second wife can't find fault at all.
The second wife felt like a fist smashed on cotton, unable to exert any strength, and her heart was extremely depressed. Yulan lamented in her heart, why is this rhythm always wrong today?
Hurriedly changed the topic again: "Why didn't the second aunt bring her brother over today?" This kid has been yelling at me several times to go to the small mirror lake in the palace to row a boat. "There is a small mirror lake in the back garden of the Jin Palace, and the water surface is very large." Last time the fourth uncle's family came back, he took Brother Wen to have a good time, Brother Wen came back and yelled at me, and wanted to play with the little uncle again, if you bring him over, the two cousins can be closer and closer. ”
Brother Hei'er is the youngest son of the second wife, and the second wife sees him as an eyeball, Yulan once saved his life, so he and Yulan have always been friends. Sure enough, as soon as Yulan said this, the second wife was immediately diverted: "This kid, it's tao!" "There is no idle time in a day, either going up to the tree to dig birds' eggs, or going into the water to fish!" The maid couldn't stand it, so she had to match two clever little girls to follow him in advance, and moved to the outer courtyard a while ago, and read with the gentleman who sat in the library, and finally finished learning a copy of "Kindergarten Learning". Now he began to teach him the Analects. He was also arguing all day long, and wanted to come to you to play, but now that you are heavy, he will disturb you when he comes, so I didn't call him here. ”
Yulan smiled and said: "There are so many maids, and I don't have to do it myself, the second aunt just calls my brother to play." He also said: "A while ago, I said that I have only learned a small part of my brother's "Kindergarten Learning", and I have begun to learn "Analects", which is so fast!" ”
The second wife's face couldn't help but glow red. "In the past, he was young and irritable, and he couldn't always study hard, but now that he is older, he is finally a little better. And the gentleman praised him for his cleverness. ”
Yulan smiled: "How can there be any unsmart children in our Yang family, you will know the Tao when you look at the eldest brother." ”
The second wife smiled heartily: "Don't make me happy." When your eldest brother was his age, he had already finished reading the Analects. What your second uncle means, then follow Mr. to read a book for two or three years, and also ask him to try his hand in the county test. ”
"Then our family won't have more teenagers soon!"
Finally, the atmosphere was harmonious. At noon, Yulan left the second wife, the second girl and the eldest grandmother to eat, and Yulan asked the small kitchen to make a large table of dishes. The eldest grandmother took the initiative to ask for vegetables for her mother-in-law, and the second wife agreed in one bite. How Yujia looks at it, the second wife just can't see it. Yulan's jaw almost fell, this is in the palace, not in the Yang family.
She couldn't say anything. The second wife actually said to the eldest grandmother: "Although the seventh aunt is married, after all, she is your sister-in-law, and serving your aunt is what you should do." You even have a piece of cloth for this dish! ”
The eldest grandmother bowed her head without the slightest hesitation and answered "yes".
The rain is big. Very firmly and resolutely stopped. "Sister-in-law, don't. I don't even call a maid a servant when I eat, and I won't even eat if you do this. What's more, if this is for the eldest brother to know the way, you can't be in a hurry with me! Then he asked the second wife: "Did you say that it was the second aunt!" ”
The eldest grandmother saw her resolute attitude, so she gave up!
After eating, the second wife took her daughter and daughter-in-law to say goodbye. Yulan personally sent it to the weeping flower gate, and watched the mother-in-law help the three people to sit in the sedan chair, and then helped Qian's mother back to the main courtyard.
There was still some distance between the gate of the weeping flower and the gate of the palace, and the carriage of the second wife and her car stopped at the gate. When they arrived at the gate, the second girl and the eldest grandmother helped the second wife to get into the carriage, and their expressions moved, but they refused to get into the carriage. said to the second wife: "Mother, I remember, I still have a few words to say to the seventh sister, you and your younger siblings should go back first." ”
The second wife was stunned; "You girl, you can't say anything just now, it's already here, and you have to go back again." looked at the second girl suspiciously and said, "I don't see that your mood is high all day today, did something happen at your mother-in-law's house?" If you tell your mother anything, only your mother will call the shots! ”
Yu Jiaqiang smiled: "Mother! I'm fine, what can I do? You're worried, you really have a few words to say to your seventh sister alone! He urged the grandmother to get into the car, but the grandmother didn't want to disobey her, and when she got into the car, Yujia urged the mother-in-law who followed her to go quickly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
The carriage of the Yang Mansion went away, and Yu Jia politely said to the horse room, and the horse room saw that it was the princess's sister, so he naturally rushed to the end. Immediately sent two mothers-in-law to carry the sedan chair and send the second girl back.
Yulan was crooked on the big ink pillow near the window of the inner room, pondering the matter between the second wife and the eldest grandmother, and saw Yujia go and return. I couldn't help but be taken aback. hurriedly greeted him: "Second sister, how are you?" ”
The second girl forced a smile and said, "What, I am not welcome to come again?" ”
Yulan smiled: "How come! I eat and sleep all day long, and I wish someone would come and talk to me to relieve my boredom. Second aunt, as soon as you left just now, I was mentally empty and uncomfortable, but it happened that you came back. He beckoned the second girl to sit down on the Taishi chair with a big red cushion, and instructed Xiaoyue to serve tea, "Make a pot of Biluochun rewarded in the palace for the second sister to taste." Said to the second girl: "Drink some green tea in summer, and you will lose the fire!" ”
The embarrassment of the second girl was resolved in the spring breeze and rain. The second girl was secretly grateful in her heart, and sat down to drink tea with Yulan, but refused to speak for a long time.
Yulan saw that her embarrassment was coming, and she didn't urge her, so she asked her curiously: "I look at my sister-in-law everything, why does the second aunt seem to be not very satisfied with my sister-in-law?" "This is the second wife's choice, and she is her niece, how much effort did it take to marry into the door. Why did you just get married like this?
Yulan is really curious.
The second girl took a sip of Biluochun, tasted it slowly in her mouth, swallowed the tea again, and then said: "This matter is all to blame, just blame my third aunt!" ”
Yulan was not very familiar with the second wife's maiden family, so she asked: "The second sister is talking about the eldest sister-in-law's mother-in-law?" ”
