Yu Wenyan said: "Zixia has been on good terms with her uncle and cousins since she was a child, and at that time she cried and refused to go to the imperial city, so her mother had to leave her in Weizhou. She has been to the Imperial City only a handful of times, and she has grown so old that the days she has spent in the Imperial City have been less than three months combined. ”

If she hadn't been close to the Ye family, the old princess would not have married Zixia to Ye Hao.

"Qingxia doesn't like the Ye family, but she doesn't hate it either, but when she talks to the Ye family, she is also close, she is willing to play with the Ye family's cousins, and she has a lot of fun."

As for him, he really can't like the Ye family, and even hates it in his bones. And he couldn't feel the intimacy of the "blood relatives" mentioned by Su Yan, it was from the bottom of his heart that he liked and was close, but he didn't, when he saw the Ye family, he mentioned the Ye family's epiglottis, let alone liking.

Su Yan smiled, "Not everyone will like the people of the uncle's family. ”

Yu Wenyan shook his head, "When I went to Tianlong Temple to pick you up on the ninth day of the first month, I met a father and son from Texas. ”

She listened to him calmly, and there were very few times when the husband and wife could talk to each other as much as they did tonight.

"The self-proclaimed surname is Ling, and he is a native of Honggang, Texas. Strange, you say, isn't it strange? This old man Ling looks like me. ”

Su Yeon's face was surprised.

looks similar to Yu Wenyan, "How similar?" ”

Yu Wenyan shook his head, "It's very familiar when you look at it, as if you've seen it in the morning." Dou Guard said that even if there are no seven points, there are six points similar, and the most similar ones are the eyes and forehead. He said that he and my mother were cousins and wanted to inquire about something with my mother. also said that ten years ago, he went to see his mother, and the mother denied that she had such relatives! ”

"Yan'er, he gave me 10,000 taels of silver, saying that he borrowed 5,000 taels of silver from his mother twenty-three years ago, and the Ling family has been doing business over the years and has become prosperous. Master Ling has three sons, the eldest son is in business like him, and the second and third sons went down to participate in the scientific examination a few days ago. I heard that the second son is reading well......"

Su Yan listened to Yu Wenyan say, her heart was also high, full of curiosity, "Then have you asked the old princess, our family really has a Texas cousin?" ”

Yu Wenyan looked dazed, "I asked the women of the big housekeeper and the old ladies in each room, but they didn't hear that the concubine's family had relatives in Texas. But I look at the appearance of Master Ling's father and son, although they are businessmen, their conversation is not bad, and they look like they have read books. ”

If you really want to rely on the relationship of the palace on your left shoulder, you can pave the way for the two sons of the Ling family. I won't be able to find Yu Wenyan to speak after the big exam. It can be seen that it is not here to curry favor. Stuffed Yu Wenyan with 10,000 taels of silver tickets. It is also said that it was borrowed in twenty-three years.

Su Yan asked, "Have you asked him about anything?" ”

Yu Wenyan said: "I only said a few words, and I didn't ask much." "Looking back now, Yu Wenyan feels that this Master Ling is a bit mysterious." Master Ling seemed to have something unspeakable when he spoke, because I was in a hurry to see you, so I didn't say much. Later, when I think about it, I always feel that he has something to say, and there is something left unfinished, but I really can't think of why? ”

Yu Wenyan recalled Master Ling's face, although he was in his forties, he had a beautiful beard and was delicate. He only glanced at those eyes, and he felt very kind.

This feeling comes out of the blood.

As for Pix-yeon when she saw her uncle for the first time, she said that she felt the same as her uncle's cousin.

He can't forget when he dismounted at Tenryu Temple. Old Master Ling was shocked when he saw him, and he was also surprised.

After a moment, Old Master Ling clenched his fists and asked, "Is this the left-shouldered prince?" ”

Yu Wenyan used to be always cold to people he didn't know, but that day he was unexpectedly enthusiastic and replied: "Exactly." ”

Master Ling behaved decently, although he was a businessman, he did not have the coppery smell in Yu Wenyan's memory, but had an elegant atmosphere. He said: "In the Honggang clan of Lower Dezhou, the surname of the contemptible person is Ling, and the old princess Ye is an aunt and cousin. ”

In other words, this Master Ling's mother was originally his grandmother's sister.

Yu Wenyan heard about this for the first time.

He knew that the Ye family was his uncle's family, and he knew that everyone in the Ye family and even the affairs of the Ye family, but he didn't hear that his mother and concubine also had relatives in Texas.

Old Man Ling sighed lightly and looked at Yu Wenyan carefully, "When I saw you ten years ago, I was still on the streets of the Imperial City, and I grew so big all of a sudden. ”

Yu Wenyan was thinking at the time, could it be because he had seen Master Ling when he was a child, so he had an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

Master Ling took out two silver tickets from his sleeve and took a deep look, "Lord Wang, twenty-three years ago, the Ling family was defeated, and I borrowed five thousand taels of silver from Old Princess Ye. This is a silver ticket of 10,000 taels with interest on her, please accept it! ”

The money borrowed 23 years ago was repaid 23 years later.

Yu Wenyan didn't think that he was a believer, but he was afraid that others would have forgotten it a long time ago.

Later, Master Ling said that he was going to return it ten years ago, but Princess Ye refused to see him.

It was difficult for him to enter the palace, and he was not allowed to return it, so it dragged on until today.

I borrowed five thousand taels of silver, and now I have repaid ten thousand taels, which has doubled, which is considered profit.

Master Ling stuffed the silver ticket to Yu Wenyan, saluted again, and led the two teenagers away.

Among them, there was a young man who looked similar to Master Ling, he was around twenty years old, although he was a scarf and a cocoon silk robe, but Yu Wenyan could see it straight, he had never seen anyone look so similar to himself, and even his age was so similar.

Dou Huwei later quipped: "Lord Wang, if you don't know the way, you still think that Ling Gongzi is your brother." ”

Yu Wenyan asked in surprise: "Is it really so similar?" ”

He felt familiar.

He knew that he looked like the old princess, but he didn't expect that there were still people who looked like him.

Su Yan said: "Master Ling's mother and your grandmother are sisters. ”

Yu Wenyan said: "When I was a child, I heard my grandmother say that she had a younger sister, who was originally twins, and the two sisters looked very similar, the difference is that Mrs. Ling had a red tear mole the size of a mung bean under the corner of her eye. Once, my grandmother and aunt were naughty, and I also asked my grandmother to take cinnabar and light a red mole, and the family couldn't tell which of them was who. ”

Twin sisters, naturally the two look alike.

Su Yan's mind came to mind the sisters Xiangyue and Xiangjun in the third room of the Jiang family, don't their sisters look very similar. She also heard from the Yu family that her fourth brother Shuhu and third brother Shupeng, who died early, also looked average.

"So similar, no wonder you look like Master Ling."

"The mother concubine looks like her grandmother, and Master Ling Xu also looks like her aunt."

Although Yu Wenyan didn't say a few words to Master Ling, he vaguely guessed that this Master Ling was the son of his grandmother's twin sister.

Because of the similarity in appearance. He felt friendly when he saw it, and even the boy who was a little similar to himself became kind.

The next morning, Su Yan and Yu Wenyan slept until nearly noon.

The husband and wife each used half a bowl of porridge, and took a break with half a stick of incense for lunch.

As usual, the county lord of Qingxia would go to the upper room of the quiet hall every morning to take a look, look at the red eyes of the small storeroom, and smile at the bow in the middle of the room.

When I look at it, I feel the difference.

The big girl is still the same as usual, nodding her fingers and counting and counting.

The face of the county lord of Qingxia became more and more ugly, and it seemed to be the original in the small warehouse. It doesn't seem to be the same. The number that can be lifted is correct.

The big girl said: "It's going to be busy in a few days......" smiled in her heart: Qingxia County is mainly a bride!

At the door of the inner instrument. The county lord of Zixia led Ye Qingqing and the girl in, and her face was a little unsightly.

When the county lord of Qingxia saw it, he hurriedly pulled the key to the treasury.

"Yo! Qingxia, who is with whom we sisters. I'd like to see what good stuff they've got in store for you? ”

The county lord of Qingxia locked it and said with a smile: "There is nothing to look at, it is all prepared according to my sister's example." ”

Zixia County mainly looks, but the Qingxia County Lord refuses.

It's clear that there are ghosts!

The county lord of Zixia became more and more curious, "I heard from the person who helped to return the cage that day, my sister's dowry is all good?" One is a dozen satins, and others carry up to two pairs of high-ranking cellar vases, but yours has four pairs or six pairs. ”

In the big warehouse, the palace satin of "Rich Changchun" and the palace silk of "Fushou Mianlong" are all selected with good fabrics, red colors, and red colors are arranged into cages, and more than a dozen horses are lifted. When the county lord of Zixia came out of the pavilion, there were only eight horses to lift, which is also very generous, ordinary people have two horses and four horses, but the county lord of Qingxia actually used more than a dozen satin horses to be lifted into one. That's heavy.

The county lord of Qingxia was curious, and always felt that there was something wrong with the small treasury, but she couldn't say it, this time the county lord of Zixia was clamoring to see, and she was so frightened that she gave the key early.

"My sister is busy, it's time for me to go back to the attic, and the wedding dress has to be embroidered with gold and silver thread." led the big girl and ran away.

Seeing the county lord of Qingxia walking away, Ye Qingqing said angrily: "Auntie is too much, but she just took a look at it, and she didn't let us see it." ”

The county lord of Zixia smiled coldly, "If you don't let us see, you won't know what good things she has." When the cage was put together, there were so many servants and mothers-in-law who helped, but everyone saw it. ”

Ye Qingqing said: "Uncle is too partial, and he gave my aunt so many good things." ”

"It was given by your uncle, not by your aunt. What is in the last box, no one knows so far, it is designated as a valuable treasure! Can you let your aunt take care of the mansion without letting me help? ”

Qingxia bought such a good companion for herself, but I am afraid that she already knows Yu Wenyan's life experience, she has been good with Yu Wenyan since she was a child, and this time I am afraid that she is calculating Yu Wenyan and his wife. Zixia thought of herself and bit her lip, but she was a kind person, thinking that Qingxia was young, but she didn't think that she was a powerful person.

"Didn't my aunt say that she would take care of the chores in the house by herself?"

"Look at her weak look, where does she seem to do this?"

The county lord of Zixia made up his mind: Why does Qingxia get so many good things, she is also a daughter, how can she favor one over the other.

Earlier, she got some good things, but Concubine Yao is a powerful character, and she has already gotten a lot of things back.

The Ye family now has only a few granges, adding up to only three thousand taels of fields, and none of them are in Weizhou City, but scattered in the five wealthy counties near Weizhou City.

Concubine Yao got what she wanted, and before the county lord of Zixia went to the imperial city, she ordered the Ye family's eldest master, third master and others to be released.
