Chapter 180: One Hundred and Eighty
How many side concubines and concubines are there in the house?
Isn't it a bit late to ask this question now? It wasn't that Yulan didn't want to know about Lu Dao before, but where could she ask this kind of question, and then her marriage with Ye Yichen was full of twists and turns, and the old lady decided the marriage without waiting for the eldest lady to inquire clearly.
So until now, Yulan doesn't know how many peach blossoms there are in the palace of the prince of Ludao. Thinking of this, Yulan felt panicked.
Ye Yichen said with a smile: "Jealousy is the sin of the seven!" ”
Yulan stomped his feet, you were merry outside, married a little wife and came back, why did you come back again and it was my fault. How could this ancient woman be so difficult to do!
Ye Yichen saw Yulan's face that was trying to suppress and not deform, and there was indescribable happiness in his heart. He comfortably picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said leisurely: "It's not as much as you think!" ”
Yulan forced himself to speak calmly: "How many are there?" "Yulan is out of the way today anyway, since the prince of the hat of "jealousy" has already buttoned her up, she has to ask clearly.
Ye Yichen said: "You are so smart, didn't you expect it?" ”
Yulan thought about it for a while, if there were other side concubines or concubines, they would naturally come with the Qi family, since there was no one else, it meant that Ye Yichen only had the Qi family.
Thinking of this, Yulan breathed a sigh of relief. "She's really the only one?"
Ye Yichen groaned for a moment, and then said, "There is also a red sleeve!" ”
"Who is Red Sleeves?"
"The red sleeves were given to me by my mother, and she served me since I was a child, and her brother became my personal soldier. There was a late-night raid on the camp that blocked a fatal arrow for me. After his brother died, he became my intercourse. And then, there was no more! ”
Yulan was slightly surprised: "There are only these two?" ”
Ye Yichen raised his eyebrows, and his thin lips were pursed into a line: "Are you really a greedy and lustful master?" ”
Yulan's head drooped, looking scared.
Ye Yichen said: "Are you unhappy? Yulan said that it would be strange to be happy.
Ye Yichen suddenly walked behind Yulan and hugged Yulan as soon as he stretched out his hand. Yulan exclaimed: "Lord Wang! ”
Ye Yichen had already put Yulan on the bed, and his body was pressed down. Yulan was in no mood to do such a thing with him at this time, and resisted: "Lord Wang, you haven't taken a bath yet!" ”
Ye Yichen raised his eyebrows and said: "The courage is not small, even the master dares to dislike it!" ”
Yulan thought to herself: "I really dislike you!" ”
Ye Yichen did not make any bad moves, but suddenly changed the topic and said: "Now that you are the master of the palace, Ming'er I will call Red Sleeves to come over and greet you." Qi is now in charge of the affairs of the inner courtyard for the time being, and when she returns to the door tomorrow, she will ask her to hand over all the household affairs of the inner courtyard to you. You can show the lady of the main room, and if they make a mistake, you will punish them severely!" ”
Yulan rolled her eyes and said, "You're not afraid of my vinegar hair, what's wrong with the two of them?" ”
Ye Yichen smiled: "If you really do this kind of thing, it will only be regarded as the wrong person!" "I look very trusting.
After such a while, Yulan was almost breathless by Ye Yichen: "It's too heavy, you go down first!" Ye Yichen had no choice but to get off the body of the warm fragrant nephrite, turned around, and faced Yulan.
Yulan said: "Qi ......"
Ye Yichen explained: "She is the Bai family's dowry maid, and after giving birth to her brother, the Bai family will take care of her aunt. The Bai family has a favor with me, and my parents died when I was still young, because I was the youngest son of Taizu, and Emperor Taizong has always regarded me as a thorn in his side. At that time, General Bai was not afraid of power, he was the master to marry the Bai family, and he supported him in the northwest. ”
Ye Yichen's voice was low, Yulan was nervous for a while when he heard it, the prince also suffered a lot of grievances when he was a child, and he couldn't help but feel pity, because the unhappiness caused by the Qi family was a lot lighter.
Ye Yichen said again: "Later, the Bai family died violently, and the death was unknown, Wen'er was the only bloodline she left, in order to give the Bai family an explanation, I handed Wen'er over to the Qi family to raise, and asked her for a side concubine's fate, just to give the Bai family an explanation." So although Qi Shi is stingy and stupid, I have always been tolerant of her. If you change someone else, you dare to block you like this, and you will be dragged out of the gang and beaten to death! ”
Some of these things are known to Yulan, and some are unknown to Yulan. Until now, I have finally put together a complete picture. Yulan said in her heart No wonder the Qi family is so fearless, just because she was married by the Bai family, because the prince felt sorry for the Bai family, but she was extra decent in front of the prince.
The prince glanced at Yulan and threw out a bombshell: "After the Bai family left, the old lady had intended to marry the Bai family's younger sister to this king as a house, but this king refused. ”
Yulan asked casually: "Why is this?" ”
The prince glared at her and said, "Why do you say that?" ”
Yulan was stunned: "Is it for me?" "That's a knowingly question. Yulan pretended to be casual on the surface, but in fact, he was really a little moved in his heart.
In this way, wouldn't the prince owe more favors to the Bai family! I couldn't help but feel a little depressed in my heart, Qi Shi was labeled as the Bai family, and even herself couldn't help but give her face in the future, looking at what she meant today, she was not a compliant person, it was really a headache.
Yulan was thinking wildly, and suddenly found that the prince's big hands had reached into her clothes at some point, and after a while, Yulan was horrified, and hurriedly shouted: "Lord, the concubine hasn't bathed yet!" ”
Ye Yichen smiled: "It's okay, this king doesn't think you're dirty!" ”
Yulan: ......
Yulan felt that his physical strength had not recovered from last night's nonsense, and a certain part of his body was still aching faintly, so he had to beg: "Lord Wang, I have to go back tomorrow, let's rest today!" ”
Ye Yichen: "What did you promise this king at noon?" ”
Yulan tricked: "What did I promise?" I can't remember! ”
Ye Yichen couldn't cry or laugh, "It's too late to play Lai now!" ”
Yulan's whole body was furious by him, and he shouted regardless of it: "Last night, you came three times?" Forget it for today!"
Ye Yichen laughed sullenly: "This king has been vegetarian for so many days, how can he do it three times!" ”
"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”
"I mean, it's been a long time since this king touched a woman!"
"Don't you still have Qi and Red Sleeves?"
"Since I met you, this king has lost interest in any kind of woman! The two of them together are not as good as a single hair of yours! Today, Princess Jing's old aunt is right, my knees are empty, you should give me a few more sons! ”
"Who is going to bear you a son!"
"If you give me a few daughters, I will be equally happy!"
……
In the end, Ye Yichen got what he wanted! Yulan wanted to ask about the situation in the house, but he didn't even ask a word, and the two tossed until midnight this time, Yulan was already paralyzed as mud after reaching the worst, but the prince was still interested, and Yulan almost wanted to die.
After a hurried wash, Yulan soon fell into a deep sleep. In his head, he couldn't help but replay Ye Yichen's two sentences: "This king has been vegetarian for so many days, how can he do it three times!" "Ever since I met you, this king has lost interest in any kind of woman!" The corners of his mouth involuntarily floated a sweet smile.
I thought again: Who knows if what he said is true or false, he has lived two lives in vain, is it too easy to coax. In the end, I am happy, even this waist is not as sore as yesterday, and I think that today is more than yesterday......
Because the second day is the day of returning to the door, Yulan has something in his heart, so he doesn't need to scream, so he wakes up early. Reaching out and touching it, Ye Yichen had already gone out. Yulan called out "Xiaoyue", and Xiaoyue came over and rolled up the bead curtain, "Girl...... Oh no, Madame is awake! ”
There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, in the end, she was a girl who was used to it, and she didn't need Yulan to ask, so she poured beans into a bamboo tube and said: "Wang Ye Mao Zheng got up, said that he was going to the martial arts arena to box, and he would come back to have breakfast with his wife in a while." Yulan nodded, thinking that the prince seemed to be up yesterday, and it seems that his work and rest habits are like this.
Secretly remembering it in his heart, he called the maid to come in and serve her to wash and groom, and while dressing up, he called Mother Qian in: "Are all the gifts prepared for returning to the door today?" "Yesterday, I wanted to ask again, but I didn't think that I would be stirred up by Ye Yichen and get nothing done.
Mother Qian said: "It's all neat!" ”
Yulan was about to elaborate, Ye Yichen came back. The prince was wearing a snow-white samurai uniform, with wide shoulders and a thin waist, and a heroic posture. Xu is life has been relatively harmonious for two consecutive days, and the prince's face exudes a faint light, and he looks radiant.
Yulan hurriedly stood up when he saw him come in, Ye Yichen said, "You clean up yours, don't worry about me!" So he went to the clean room by himself, and asked the two little girls in the palace who served him yesterday, one named Qiu Aya and the other named Qiu Hong, to wait for him to freshen up and change his clothes.
When Mother Qian saw him enter, she whispered to Yulan: "It is said that the prince is cold-faced and cold-hearted, but in the past two days, I have looked at it coldly, and the prince is really good to the girl!" I'm relieved. ”
Yulan smiled slightly, but did not say anything. Mother Qian is not ignorant of the rules, it is not good to arrange the master behind her back after all, so Yulan changed the topic: "How have Xiaofeng and Xiaoying been in the past two days?" "Xiaofeng and Xiaoying are the big maids that the eldest lady gave to Yulan to dowry, because they were not brought by Lu Jingzhai, and the eldest lady gave the two of them to prepare for Ye Yichen to have a room, Yulan was born with a little rejection of them, and she was busy everywhere in the past two days, so she asked Mother Qian to watch.
Mother Qian said: "It's not that I don't understand the rules, it's just that I talk a lot, maybe I was dazzled by the grandeur and pomp of the palace, and I didn't wait to settle down in the palace, so I asked around." Inquire about the prince's affairs, as well as the affairs of this mansion! ”
Yulan frowned: "We just came, it is the kindness of the prince to treat us leniently, the four of them are my personal maids, just when it is time to give me a long face, this kind of shallow eyelids, isn't it a slap in the face." Others still think that I, the housewife, are such a small family, why can't I ask clearly and justly, and I have to send a personal maid to inquire around! ”
Mother Qian was also stunned when she heard it, although she also disliked these two little hooves, but she didn't think about this matter so seriously.
She is the housekeeper mother in Yulan's yard, and it is her duty to manage the maids □ J, even Yulan's four big girls have to listen to her. She didn't think of this, and it was a dereliction of duty to control Xiaofeng and Xiaoying in time. I couldn't help but say ashamedly: "It's all because I don't know what happened, and I ask my wife to punish me!" ”
Yulan shook her head secretly, Mother Qian's knowledge is slightly worse, and people are too generous and not very suitable to be this housekeeper mother, thinking about it, how can a perfect talent be so easy to find, Mother Qian's mother doesn't say anything else, there is no one else to compare with loyalty alone, everything is done by herself, and there are no fancy intestines fighting for power and profit, which is also very rare. Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu are both smart, and it is more than enough for her to help Mother Qian more in the future, and to manage her own small courtyard.
After thinking about this, I also soothed a few words with gentle words. Mother Qian asked, "Then when you go back to the door today, do you still bring these two girls?" ”
Yulan said with a smile: "That's naturally to be brought, after all, it's the wife's reward, even for the sake of the wife's face, you can't help but take them back." ”
Saying this, Ye Yichen had already come out of the clean room, and Mother Qian stopped talking. Ye Yichen saw that Yulan hadn't finished yet, so he sat down on the edge of the bed and watched Yulan dress up with a smile.
Yulan hurriedly asked Xiaoyue to pour him tea, and Ye Yichen said, "It's time to eat soon, so you don't need to eat tea." Seeing Xiaoyu combing her hair, she sped up her progress, Ye Yichen said again: "You take your time, dress up your wife beautifully and then go out, don't worry." ”
Ye Yichen saw Xiaoyu combing Yulan a fallen horse bun and inserting a red gold pearl hairpin into the bun, seeing that he was dressed up, he shouted: "Slow!" He turned around and called Qiu Aya and said, "Bring the coral bead that Lord Yuan gave me last time, and I will see that it is just right for your wife to bring it." ”
Qiu Aya agreed, and soon brought a delicate small box of vermilion lacquer, opened it, and saw two strings of purple-red coral hanging beads lying inside, ordinary coral beads are only the size of beans, but these two strings of beads are the size of grapes, and it is rare that the two strings of coral beads look about the same size, and the luster is very good, which is extremely precious.
Ye Yichen asked Xiaoyu to decorate two strings of coral beads on both sides of the bun, and sure enough, it suddenly added a bit of bright color. There is no woman who doesn't love beautiful jewelry, Yulan stood up and said: "Xie Lu, thank the prince for the reward!" ”
Ye Yichen smiled: "It's just two strings of beads, it's not worth anything!" Last time, Lord Yuan gave it to this king, and this king almost forgot, but I remembered it when I saw you dressing up just now. It fits you just right. ”
Mother Qian and a few maids saw that the prince was so good to Yulan, and they were all full of joy.
Here, the maid had already set up a meal in the west room, and Yulan respectfully invited Ye Yichen to the east room for dinner. During the banquet, Yulan talked about the return ceremony, and told Ye Yichen about the gifts he brought to his relatives one by one, Ye Yichen listened to it with a smile, and just said: "You are in charge of these." I've already prepared the old lady's gift, so I don't have to worry about it. ”
Yu Lan paused for a moment, and Ye Yichen explained: "I have been an official in the same dynasty as your grandfather for more than ten years, and you may not know his preferences, but I know the Tao. ”
Yulan retorted: "Isn't my grandfather also your grandfather!" Ye Yichen has been used to being bumped into by her, but fortunately, Yulan is not used to people walking around the house, but there is no one in the east, Ye Yichen is too lazy to talk about her, only said: "Okay, it's also my grandfather!" ”
Yulan asked curiously, "What did you prepare for your grandfather?" ”
Ye Yichen said: "There is nothing? It's just a picture of the mountains and streams! ”
Just a picture? The corners of Yulan's mouth twitched. It is a unique book in a hundred years, and it is a hand-me-down painting, which can be described as priceless. The old lady is not greedy for money and is not good for women, he just likes to collect a book and famous paintings, Ye Yichen said that he can do what he likes, and he is really not bragging. It was a rich man like him who was willing to give away such a precious painting without the slightest emotion.
Yulan is really a little curious about the relationship between the prince and his grandfather. Previously, the prince had said to Yulan that his grandfather was the first assistant, but he had cheated him more than once, but how could he see that the prince didn't care about the rest of the Yang family at all, but he respected the old lady so much, and even gave him such a precious painting.
The man's brain circuit is really not something she can understand.
In the past few days, Yulan has been wanting to ask his prince, how many families are in the family? Since she arrived at the palace, looking at her diet and daily life, she is all extravagant and extravagant, she can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, and she is still secretly surprised by the use of the palace, although Ye Yichen is the prince of the prince, but he can't earn so much silver. So where did he get his money?
Yulan originally prepared a precious inkstone for his grandfather, but now he has a better one, so he naturally doesn't need it. The young couple had a happy meal, and then took the car to the Yang Mansion on Qipan Street.
Returning to the door in three days is a big deal, not to mention that Ye Yichen is high and powerful, and he is also the first in the clan. The eldest master, the second master, and the fifth master did not dare to hold the big one, and they all waited at the door with the eldest wife, the second wife, and the fifth wife. The eldest girl and the fourth girl are all here, and the ancestors, the ancestors, the ancestors, the nine girls and so on are all waiting at the door.
The husband and wife's Babao Huagai car was parked at the gate of Yang's mansion, and Yulan's mood and identity had undergone some changes. When she left, she was just a small concubine, but now she is the wife of the powerful Prince of Jin, and it won't be long before she becomes a princess.
Yulan had a good understanding of what it means to do a good job than to marry well in ancient times!
As soon as Ye Yichen and Yulan got out of the car, the eldest lord walked forward with the whole family, "Say hello to the prince!" ”
Yulan was a little speechless, when she returned to the door, she and Ye Yichen should have kowtowed to the elders to say hello, but the status of the prime minister of her family was too high and the style was too big, and now it was the elders who saluted him!
It's a bit of a wrench!
Ye Yichen has always looked down on the second generation of the Yang family, and when they have done the full salute, he said firmly: "Everyone, please get up!" It's time for me to bow to my elders! "That is to say, but his back is very golden, and he has the meaning of bending down.
Yulan peeked at everyone, and no one had a trace of unhappiness on their faces. It is not feasible for the royal family to return to the door in these three days, Ye Yichen is willing to come over in person, and he has already given the Yang family a lot of face, who dares to blame him!
