Chapter 262
Yu Jia said: "Now that I talk about it outside, everyone doesn't know how much Lu Dao envy you!" Think about how many of us sisters, even the eighth sister doesn't have a good life like you! Yulan's heart was slightly shocked, in fact, Yujia was right, whether it was the eldest girl or the second girl, Brother-in-law Lu and Brother-in-law Ding would be good to them, but this kind of goodness has a premise, they will not only have Yumu or Yujia as a woman, nor will they dig out their hearts and lungs and treat them wholeheartedly.
Brothers-in-law are more likely to think that this is their wife, so they should be good to them. Think more of this as a responsibility. And for Yumu and Yujia, their concept of happiness is completely different from hers.
The husband respects their power as wives, the mother-in-law is not unreasonable and suppresses, and then there is a son who crawls out of his belly, this is happiness.
Is this the huge "generation gap" of values between ancient and modern times that spans thousands of years?
Think about yourself, and compare Yumu, Yujia and even Yufei, Yuxia, and Yuxin, it is really your own life that is the best. Ye Yichen is younger and more handsome than Brother-in-law Lu and Brother-in-law Ding, and his ability is greater and his status is higher, but he can not touch a finger of other women when she is pregnant, and this alone can envy other sisters to death.
Thinking of a few days ago, she was still struggling with whether she had "true love" or not, and almost "made" the child, Yulan really felt that she was too hypocritical. A man like Ye Yichen is really a rare animal, should he cherish it?
Yu Jia talked so much to her, and her heart opened up a lot. In front of the second wife, she was afraid that her mother would worry, so she didn't dare to say too much, and she always reported good news and not bad news.
Now she can speak, that is, the two sisters Yumu and Yulan. The fifth sister and the eighth sister are inconvenient to meet in the palace, not to mention, the fourth sister Yufei has a gloomy temperament she doesn't like, and the ninth sister Yuqing is too young. Only Yumu and Yulan are very knowledgeable, even if she says anything in front of them, she doesn't have to worry about her learning to her mother's family.
The second girl, Yujia's house, is also a mess that can't be sorted out, and those annoying Yulan don't ask, so as not to make her upset. As she was talking, the nurse came back from the garden with Ye Minwen. When Yujia looked at it, he saw Ye Minwen wearing a navy blue robe, with a piece of green and transparent jade hanging from his waist, and the whole person was made of pink and jade, like a doll walking down from a New Year's painting.
Yulan greeted Ye Minwen and said, "Your second aunt is here, come and see it!" β
Ye Minwen walked up to Yu Jia and saluted respectfully: "I've seen the second aunt!" "Posture, like a little adult. At first glance, it looks like a good tutor.
Yujia was a little surprised when she saw it. She saw Ye Minwen once about half a year ago, at that time Ye Minwen was not like now, to say something unpleasant, at that time he was cringe, and he was really a little embarrassed. I didn't expect that in just half a year, Ye Minwen has changed so much.
She glanced at Yulan very meaningfully.
Yulan didn't look at her, just looked at Ye Minwen with a smile.
Yu Jia was prepared when she came, she took out a puppet carved with black jade from her purse, the knife work is exquisite, lifelike, and her eyebrows are like it, which is worth a lot at a glance. Yu Jia smiled and said to Ye Minwen: "This thing is not worth anything, don't dislike it, brother, just take it!" β
Ye Minwen retreated behind Yulan after saluting, standing neatly, and when Yujia gave him something, he looked up to look at Yulan.
Yulan said with a smile; "Since it was given by the second aunt, you can take it! Don't forget Aunt Xie Lu and Second Aunt Xie! β
Ye Minwen happily accepted the gift. The nurse took her down for a snack.
Yu Jia watched Ye Minwen's small figure disappear at the door. looked at Yulan and said, "This kid is a lot more sensible." β
Yulan smiled and said, "Is Brother Wen older?" β
Yujia looked at her and smiled, not believing her words at all. She lowered her voice and said, "You've put a lot of effort into this kid, haven't you?" Thinking of Ye Minwen standing obediently beside Yulan and holding her hand, Yu Jia said: "I see that he is very close to you." β
Yulan thought about it, and it seemed that she had indeed put a lot of thought into it, so she nodded. Yujia sighed and said, "It's a pity that he's a little too old. When I grow up in the future, I am afraid that I will think of my biological mother, and I am not the same heart as you. The meaning of the words is that Yulan understands. If Yulan had taken him with him, he still didn't understand anything and didn't have the concept of a mother, maybe Yulan could really raise him like his own son.
Now, that's almost impossible to happen. When Yulan got married, he was already five years old.
Yulan smiled, "Brother Wen, this kid is a grateful person, and the second sister doesn't have to worry about me." After such a long period of contact, Yulan also slowly understood Ye Minwen's temperament. As long as he grows up healthy and happy, even if he is not grateful to Yulan, he will definitely not have jealousy.
If he was really a white-eyed wolf, Yulan would not have been so good to him.
Others just want to provoke the relationship between their mother and son, and it depends on whether Yulan gives them a chance. All in all, no matter how noble she is, she will not dig her own grave and raise herself a rival.
Yujia looked at her and smiled, "It seems that everything is not going well for you either." "If you marry and have a five-year-old son, can everything go well?
Yulan also pursed her lips and smiled: "If the second sister were me, she would only do better than me." "A few of their sisters, if they are all in Yulan's position. Yu Jia and Yu Xin will never do anything to their children even if they have the opportunity, they are all extremely proud people, even if they have a bad relationship with their husbands, they will never do anything to their children.
If Yufei and Yuxia were replaced, the former would probably try their best to raise the child, and the latter would definitely find a reliable opportunity to kill the child.
Speaking of children, Yulan asked her: "Why didn't the second sister bring Brother Zhi over, and now that the weather is good, wouldn't it be good to let their cousins play in the garden together?" "The second girl's son, Zhi Ge'er, is also two years old, which is really fun.
Speaking of her son, Yujia's face shone brightly, and all the hopes of her life were pinned on her son. "Brother Zhi was infected with a cold a few days ago, and the doctor prescribed medicine to him, and he has just seen a cure. Wait for the next time, when I come to the palace again, I will definitely report it to your aunt to take a good look! "He looks very precious to his son.
Of course, Yulan can understand her feelings about valuing Brother Zhi'er. Thinking of the sentence "drowning is like killing a child", he still persuaded: "Brother Zhi is a brother, and my brother can't be too delicate, so let him see the wind and rain outside!" β
Yujia couldn't help laughing: "What you said is the same as what my mother said." The second wife persuaded her to say the same thing.
Yulan pursed her lips and smiled: "This is called the same thing that heroes see." β
The two exchanged parenting experiences, and Yulan raised Ye Minwen for such a long time, so he can be regarded as having a certain right to speak. The two of them have their own gains, and after changing the topic, they talked about the Yang family again. Yulan hadn't been back to her parents' house for a long time since she was pregnant, so she listened very carefully.
"My mother is now busy with my eldest brother's wedding, and I even have to replace four or five teacups of any color when welcoming guests before I am satisfied, and I am so busy that my feet do not touch the ground......" Yujia smiled at the corner of her mouth: "But although she is busy, she is very happy in her heart." β
Yulan said with a smile: "The eldest brother is married, and the happiest person is the second aunt." When the new daughter-in-law enters the door, she will fill in a big fat grandson, and the second aunt will be even more satisfied. β
Yu Jia said with a smile: "Cousin Eleven is quite knowledgeable and is a good one. β
Yulan was quick for a while, and then answered: "The eleventh girl and the big brother are talented and beautiful, they are really a match made in heaven." When Yu Jia heard this, she couldn't help but look at Yu Lan and laugh, and Yu Lan was embarrassed for a while. Miss Eleventh of the Korean Mansion, the fiancΓ©e of the ancestor, has a good background, knowledge, and bearing, but it's a pity that she doesn't look good. In terms of appearance, it is barely enough.
Chengzu followed the second master, tall and heroic, and a handsome guy. To say that they are talented and beautiful is definitely talking nonsense with their eyes open.
Yulan saw the second girl's somewhat playful gaze, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "My wife is not good-looking!" β
Yujia laughed out loud. Yu Jia explained: "Eleventh cousin just has a beautiful face, otherwise my grandfather will ...... her" Yu Jia said this, and Yu Lan already understood what she meant. If Miss Eleven was a little more beautiful, it was possible to send her to the palace.
Although Yulan had seen Miss Eleven, it was just to say hello. I don't know who she is, but Yu Jia is her cousin, so she naturally knows a lot about Miss Eleven. Yujia's temper, she can't look down on ordinary people, and she can praise Miss Eleven like this, it can be seen that this Miss Eleven must be outstanding.
Yu Jia said: "The eldest brother is an understanding person, my mother has already talked to him, and he will treat the eleventh cousin well." Even if you can't do it, it's definitely no problem to respect each other. "Even if Miss Eleven is not good-looking, Chengzu will not fall in love with her, but the respect and decency that should be given to her will definitely be the same.
In this era of blind marriage and dumb marriage, it is already a very good result to be able to respect each other like a guest, and it is really like the fifth master and the fifth wife to be heart-to-heart, so I don't know how much virtue and how many good things I have done in my previous life?
"What is the big brother doing now?"
He is busy studying, and the date of the exam has not yet been set, and the eldest brother and the third brother are now reading books in the front yard every day. The eldest lady is busy cleaning up the yard and waiting for the fourth uncle's family to come back so that she can live in. The fifth uncle is now busy looking for a stable wife and a doctor for the fifth aunt. β
"Isn't Aunt Five's due date in July? Isn't it too early to prepare? β
Yu Jia pursed her lips and smiled: "Who said it wasn't." The fifth uncle also wants to ask the fifth aunt to ask the eighth sister, and when the fifth aunt gives birth, ask the eighth sister to choose a few nurses in the milk and sub-mansion. "The milk and the son mansion are specially selected for the masters in the palace to raise the nurses, and the nurses there are carefully selected, the best of the best, no wonder the fifth master has this idea.
As long as he opened this mouth, Yuxin would definitely help with this.
Thinking that the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt have always been so affectionate, Yulan is also happy for them. "What about the fifth aunt now?"
Yu Jia replied: "Fifth Uncle can't wait to find seventeen or eighteen people to watch her all day and night, can it be bad?" The fifth aunt can eat and sleep now, which is different from you, compared to when she was not pregnant, she has gained a lot of weight. Yujia stroked with her hand, "I went back to see her, and she complained to me, saying that the clothes she made in the past are now unwearable. β
After saying that, the sisters both laughed. Yu Jia laughed for a while, and suddenly said, "The fifth aunt is a blessed one. There was a hint of envy in his tone.
After talking all morning, Yulan left the second sister to have lunch, and then asked Qian's mother to send her out of the weeping flower gate.
After listening to the gossip in his stomach, Yulan was really a little emotional. Taking advantage of the good weather in the afternoon, she asked Qian's mother to move the beauty and lean out and bask in the sun in the yard for a while. It is already March, and the peach blossoms are blooming just right, and there is no trace of chill in the spring breeze. Yulan spent an afternoon in the courtyard thinking about her thoughts.
Ye Yichen came back early, and as soon as he entered the main courtyard, he saw Yulan wearing a red embroidered peony jacket, his hair was only loosely tied, and there was no jewelry on his black hair. looks like it's still so beautiful, and it's moving.
"Didn't you stay in bed? How did it come out? Go back, go back! What if the wind blows and you catch a cold? "Since taking Imperial Doctor Gong's medicine, Yulan's health has not been very good, and he will catch a cold every three or five days, which makes Ye Yichen's heart carry it all the time.
When Yulan saw Ye Yichen coming back, he immediately showed a big smile. "The wind is warm, how can it be cold? Don't worry! Yulan stood up with a smile.
Her smile was too bright, which made Ye Yichen a little stunned. He walked over, took Yulan in the crook of his arm, and tossed it up, and the weight didn't seem to increase at all. His brow furrowed: "Why is there still no meat?" During this time, all kinds of ginseng, bird's nest, and all kinds of supplements that could be thought of flowed into Yulan's stomach, but she just didn't grow meat.
Ye Yichen looked at Yulan's face and said very seriously: "Do you want to ask the seventeenth brother to recommend a cook again?" Ye Fengqi recommended two medicinal food chefs to come over, one for Yulan and one for Ye Minwen. Ye Minwen made up for the little blushing, getting healthier day by day, but Yulan did not improve.
"Don't! Don't bother the Seventeenth Master!" Yulan feels that this is a matter of personal physique, and it has nothing to do with the level of the cook. The two entered the main room hand in hand. Ye Yichen called the maid to come in and serve him to change his clothes, and from behind the screen, he saw Yulan's eyes shining, and he kept looking at his face endlessly.
Ye Yichen strangely reached out and touched his face: "Is there something on my face?" β
Yulan laughed out loud, "No, no!" β
"And what have you been watching?"
"The prince is so good-looking, can't you let me look at it twice?" Yulan pursed her lips and smiled.
Ye Yichen pulled her to sit on the big kang near the window, "Don't give me a sloppy look, why haven't I seen you look at me like this before!" Say, what's going on? Ye Yichen had a temper of inquiry, and took Yulan's hand to ask why.
How could Yulan tell him that he had listened to a stomach full of gossip in the morning, people had to die more than people, and goods had to be thrown away. Comparing her sisters, Yulan suddenly found that Ye Yichen was so good in the context of this era. As a husband, he gave almost everything he could to himself.
But I don't seem to be satisfied!
Rain and sweat! She had been thinking about it all afternoon, so when she saw Ye Yichen coming back, she couldn't help but give him a few electricity.
Then the man began to get to the bottom of it. He's the kind of guy who wants to have everything in his own hands.
The two laughed for a long time, but Yulan couldn't resist him, so he had to tell him that it was the second sister who came to see her and chatted with her for a morning, and she hadn't seen her sister for a long time, and she was in a better mood, so she became like this.
Ye Yichen reluctantly believed it.
During dinner in the evening, Yulan still couldn't help but stare at Ye Yichen, as if he had discovered a new continent, and suddenly felt: Wow, my man is so handsome!
Why didn't you think it before? Probably used to it!
Ye Yichen was inexplicably looked at by her, and even Ye Minwen felt that the atmosphere between his father and his mother was a little wrong tonight. Ye Yichen put down his chopsticks and asked her, "What do you always look at me?" β
Yulan was a little weak-hearted, "It's nothing, it's nothing!" She put down the dishes and chopsticks, "I'm full." "Betrayed Ye Minwen very unjustly." Oh, doesn't Brother Wen have something to say to your father, it just so happens that he is free today, so you can hurry up and talk to him. β
Ye Yichen went to see Ye Minwen, and Ye Minwen looked at Yulan with a look of pleading in his eyes. Yulan gave him an encouraging look, stood up and slipped out of the west room, talking as he walked. "You father and son speak slowly, and I won't bother you. I heard Xiaoyue say that the first crop of toons this year has sprouted, so I asked them to pick some and make toon noodles for you to eat tomorrow morning. β
Yulan called Xiaoyue and gave an order, and returned to the inner room. After a while, Ye Yichen also came. Yulan hurriedly poured him a cup of hot tea in person, "Brother Wen told you?" Yulan explained to him, "He wanted me to talk to you at the beginning, and I told him that there was something to communicate with you personally......
Ye Yichen felt that she was extraordinarily attentive tonight. "You sit down, what are you busy with with your stomach?"
Yulan sat down and said, "When are you going to ask Brother Wen to pay homage to Mr. Meng?" β
Ye Yichen said: "I've been too busy lately, and I have to be present in this matter." Unexpectedly, the child was in a hurry. Five days later, it was my day of rest, and I had promised Brother Wen that day to take him to Mr. Meng to salute. Obviously, the father and son communicated very well, and Ye Yichen had a smile on his face.
"He begged me to bring the four children into the house first, and I agreed. When the time comes, take them together to salute Mr. Meng. β
Yulan said: "Then he must be happy." β
Thinking of the cheerfulness on his son's face, Ye Yichen also smiled. He instructed: "These children are here, I will ask the eldest grandmother to settle them well, you must not worry about it." Now your task is to get our baby in your belly ready. β
Yulan made a bird and leaned on his shoulder: "I listen to you!" The tone was very soft and beautiful, Ye Yichen hugged her soft body, and when she heard such a beautiful voice, she was a little uneasy for a while.
Ye Yichen calmed down and said, "The day of Spring is set!" β
"Really?" Yulan sat up suddenly: "When is it?" "Last time, Ye Yichen told Yulan that orthodoxy had eaten Zhang Tianshi's elixir and his body was cured, and Yulan guessed that the spring festival would be held soon. I didn't expect it to be settled so quickly.
"On the ninth day of the fourth month, a clear decree will soon be issued." Ye Yichen's face flashed with black anger: "Zhang Tianshi's divination said that the ninth day of the fourth month is auspicious, which will help the prosperity of the country, and the emperor set the day of the spring festival on this day. β
"The imperial examination is a great ceremony for the country's talents, how solemn and sacred, how can you listen to the words of a Taoist priest, and it is so hastily decided!" In fact, there is no difference between the eighth day of April and the ninth day of April for Ye Yichen, what he is dissatisfied with is the emperor's attitude towards Zhang Tianshi.
Today he can decide the time of the spring festival through divination, and tomorrow he can decide the choice of ministers through divination, which is the beginning of interference in court affairs.
On the ninth day of April, it was two months later than before. Today is March 18th, which means that there is less than half a month left.
"No, I have to send someone to inform the eldest brother and the third brother!" Yulan didn't have time to worry about the country and the people like Ye Yichen, so he stood up as he spoke. Ye Yichen pulled her and sat down again, "I know that you are worried, I will send someone to send the news to the Yang family early in the morning." β
Yulan hugged his arm, rubbed his little face on it a few times and said, "The prince still loves me!" β
Ye Yichen smiled and touched her hair: "Only then did you know that I was good to you?" β
Who knew that Lu Dao Yulan nodded very seriously: "Hmm! β
Ye Yichen was angry for a while: "No conscience!" β
Yulan thought that this sentence would be quoted by TV series infinitely in the future, and it would be regarded as a classic quote in the end, so she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Ye Yichen shook his head helplessly, tonight, Yulan is really wrong.
Ye Yichen came back early today, finished eating, and went to bed early. Yulan asked the maid to bring the chessboard and chess pieces, and wanted to play Go with Ye Yichen. Ye Yichen is a very competitive person, but he has never won a game of chess with Yulan.
So when Yulan proposed to play a game of chess with him, he was still a little resistant, but seeing her looking full of interest, Ye Yichen couldn't bear to refuse her, so he had to warn her: "This thing costs a lot of brains, only one game is allowed." β
Yulan agreed. The red candle swayed, and the two of them put on a shelf, and as a result, they played three sets at this time. Ye Yichen is like a divine helper, he has won three games in a row, each time he is close to death, and every time he only wins two or three sons of Yulan, Ye Yichen only feels that he has a big mind, and his years of depression are swept away.
But he never saw the cunning that flashed in Yulan's eyes.
