Chapter 57: Coming Home?
Master Ye saw that Ye Jinyu did not know anything wrong, but was wandering outside, only full of disappointment, but considering that the relationship between her and Ouyang Chi was now stiff and in a bad mood.
casually ordered a few times, and another day he would personally go to Ouyang's house to ask for an explanation, so that she could rest at home with peace of mind, and then left Ye Jinyu's boudoir.
Speaking of which, her father was able to do this, but it was beyond Ye Jinyu's expectations, she thought at first that her father was afraid that he would directly send her back to Ouyang's house.
Is it because of her guilt, or because of her dumbness? Or both.
But the current situation is the best for her.
Ye Jinyu was lying heavily on the embroidery bed, and was hit by a hard object in her arms, she stretched out her hand and touched it, it was a piece of jade.
A piece of jade given to her by Shen Ziqing had some strange patterns painted on it, Ye Jinyu looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see it.
Thinking of Shen Ziqing, Ye Jinyu felt depressed in his heart.
That silly boy, where the hell has gone?
Li Sui! Is it really Shen Ziqing?
Ye Jinyu frowned slightly, finding that she couldn't accept that Li Sui was Shen Ziqing's matter, in comparison, she would rather Shen Ziqing not know where she was going.
At the very least, she still sees hope.
Shen Ziqing used to be the only light in her life, if someone suddenly told her that the light that rescued her from the abyss was fake, even Shen Ziqing was fake, and it was a conspiracy of others......
Then she's going to go crazy.
Ye Jinyu clenched the jade pendant in her hand tightly, she knew that if she wanted to determine this matter, the jade pendant was very important, as long as she inquired about the origin of the jade pendant, she could know the truth.
Ye Jinyu came back from Huaxi Town alone. The maid brought from the Ye family, for so many years, either died or betrayed her, and when she returned to the Ye family, the Ye family arranged two more maids for her.
These two maids are thirteen or fourteen years old, and she already knows that these two people are from Zhilan without temptation.
She is a young lady from the Ye family, and it is not a matter that there is no maid around to support the scene, so these two maids, she stayed, sprinkled and swept roughly, and always asked for people.
As for the maid who served her closely, this time, she had to choose it herself, and she must be someone who could use it, but she couldn't be the kind of cheap hoof who would sell her lord for glory.
lived in Ouyang Xiao's courtyard for a while, and the only thing she liked was the two maids there.
After thinking about it, she and Ouyang Xiao were not related, and it was really rude to ask for a maid rashly, but I don't know if he is willing to sell it.
The next day, she went to Ouyang Xiao to ask about it.
"What? You want to buy my maid? Ouyang Xiao thought he had misheard.
How did this woman see that his maids were masters and loyal? Unexpectedly, this woman looks stupid, but her vision is still good.
"Yes, to sell or not to sell? If so, how much silver? Ye Jinyu didn't think that he would definitely be able to buy Ouyang Xiao's maid, but he just felt that his maid was idle and it was a waste, so it was better for her to send it.
Ouyang Xiao was considering the benefits of this deal for him.
For a moment, he smiled meaningfully at Ye Jinyu: "Look at your confident appearance, you have a lot of silver in your hands?" ”
"The money to buy your two maids, naturally, is there."
Ouyang Xiao smiled: "Jin'er, Jin'er, you are not afraid of being laughed at when you say this, I am a maid of the prince of Qingyan Kingdom, which you can buy with money?" ”
Ye Jinyu was stunned, she really didn't expect this layer, the maid of Qingyan Country naturally couldn't be used, she was still a little immature.
"What? Do you think my maid is safe for you? The human heart is the most unpredictable, but if you want to test the heart of the maid, what revenge do you talk about? Trust me, the most dangerous maid can help you to the greatest extent. ”
Ouyang Xiao's words, like a slap in the face, woke her up.
Yes, who stipulates that the maids used by Zhilan cannot be used for themselves?
Cui'er and the others will betray themselves, naturally because they are not the masters of the army, they can't keep them safe, and they can't help them bring hope.
"I see." Ye Jinyu said.
really made Ye Jinyu look at Ouyang Xiao with admiration, a man who saw the struggle of the women in the back house so thoroughly, she was ashamed of herself.
After returning to Ye's house, Ye Jinyu personally walked around the mansion and took a fancy to a rough maid named Jasmine, she actually recognized the words, so she went directly to her side to be a big maid.
plus the two maids that Zhilan gave her, one is called Begonia and the other is called Qiuyue, and they serve by their side together.
It took a day to tidy up my yard.
Maybe it was her posture that looked like she was going to live permanently, and Zhilan and Ye Changhui couldn't wait to come to her to inquire about the news.
"Sister Yu, listen to your father, do you really want to reconcile with your uncle?"
Ye Jinyu was embroidering, and after Zhilan asked, she nodded.
"This ...... Sister Yu, you child just like to carry everything by yourself, although I am not your biological mother, but you are the child I brought up, I feel sorry to see you wronged. Zhilan squeezed his handkerchief and nodded at the corner of his eye.
Ye Changhui snorted beside him: "Mother, look at you, crying like this, no one wants to pay attention to it, let's not be here, use a hot face to stick to people's cold butts." ”
"Sister Hui, you can't talk to your sister like this, her heart is bitter enough, fortunately, the master returned the things left by her sister to Sister Yu, she has silver to live by, but don't worry too much."
Ye Jinyu's embroidery movements slowed down, and the corners of his mouth faintly hooked a sneer, he said so much before, he was waiting here. Concern is fake, let's find out what my father gave her is true.
She dipped some tea and wrote on the table: What my mother left me is only this box of needles and threads, Erniang take a look.
Jasmine took out the box left by Master Ye.
Basically broken books, some needlework, nothing else.
"Impossible." Zhilan frowned, what she knew was that Ye Jinyu's mother had left her a dowry that she couldn't use up for several lifetimes, but now she said no?
Ye Jinyu looked at her and continued to write: Erniang, do you know what my mother left me?
Zhilan glanced up at Ye Jinyu, just met her dark deep eyes, a clever one, and shook her head: "No, how can I know what your mother left for you, those things have always been under the custody of the master." ”
Ye Jinyu nodded, and he didn't plan to continue communicating with her.
Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Zhilan had to take Ye Changhui away and return to her yard, Ye Changhui couldn't continue to be patient: "Mother, did you find it, that Jasmine." ”
"I have already seen it, that maid looks at the real eyes, Feng'er, you go and ask, where did that jasmine call come from." Feng'er is the big girl next to Zhilan.
"Yes, ma'am."
Feng'er went out, and Ye Changhui continued: "Also, she seems to know that Begonia and Qiuyue are our people, and they can't even enter the back room. ”
"Don't be impatient, she just came back, and there are always people around her, those two girls are clever, and sooner or later they will become her henchmen." For this kind of thing, Zhilan is not in a hurry at all.
"So, did Daddy really give her what the dead woman left behind?" Ye Changhui was very stunned when she thought of this.
When Ye Jinyu married into Ouyang Mansion, she had already brought a lot of dowry, and now that she has returned to her parents' house, she has to take away so many things, this thing has been taken away, and it will be her turn to marry in the future, and the dowry will become very small.
"I don't care, if I get married, my dowry must not be less than Ye Jinyu's, and I want ten miles of red makeup." Ye Changhui pouted, looking arrogant, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his request.
There is nothing wrong with Ye Changhui being the young lady of the Ye family, but her mother was brought up by the dowry, which is also because the Ye family does not have an old lady in charge, so the one who eats fasting and recites Buddha is also a maid.
They naturally don't think that a noble-born housewife will raise the grade of the whole family.
Master Ye was so focused on officialdom that he didn't put his mind on these trivial matters at all, so that in the entire Ye Mansion, there was only one wife in Zhilan, not even an aunt.
There were before, but later he also died of illness, and Master Ye didn't have the heart to take a concubine.
Then again, although Ye Changhui changed from a concubine to a concubine, she didn't want to think that when Ye Jinyu got married, most of her dowry was purchased by the money earned from the shop in her mother's dowry.
What does her Ye Changhui's mother have?
Relying on a little bit of old man Ye's money, he can't even afford this family, okay, and he still wants ten miles of red makeup, unless Master Ye is greedy for ink.
However, Master Ye has always believed that honesty is the way to be an official, and he will not flatter the most, that is, what Ye Jinyu saw that he groveled to Li Sui, but he just wanted to ask for a marriage for his youngest daughter.
Ye Jinyu didn't know this, otherwise, I was afraid that he would die sadly.
"Mother knows, don't worry, Mother will find a way, let Qiuyue and them find out, what did the master give to Ye Jinyu."
Ye Changhui got Zhilan's promise, so she became happy, and she was tired of staying at Zhilan's side for a long time, and then she returned to her yard.
On Ye Jinyu's side, she opened the box that Master Ye gave her, and this box was exactly the same as the one she showed to Zhilan.
There was nothing in it, just a brass key, which was so large that it didn't look like a key that could open a lock properly.
Ye Jinyu once heard her mother say that her grandfather used to be a wealthy businessman, and his family had a tragic accident, and their family moved to Kyoto.
As for some of the former farm shops or something, I don't know what to do with them, but my grandfather left a key and didn't know what it was used for.
Even her mother didn't know what the key was used for, and she didn't know it anymore, and besides, there were some land deeds and a few shops in the box, and there was nothing else.
It seems that the mother's dowry, except for the one she took away when she got married, the rest was eaten by the Ye family.
Anyway, if the Ye family's things can't be taken out, the Ouyang family's can't help but take them back.
Not only Ye Jinyu thought of Ouyang's family, but Ouyang Chi also arrived at Ye's house on the same day and asked to take Ye Jinyu home.
Going home, Ye Jinyu sneered, she really wanted to ask him, is it back to the underworld, or the wolf's den and tiger's den?
directly refused to meet, and only asked Jasmine to send a letter to Master Ye's hand, explaining his determination to reconcile.
Ouyang Chi's patience was directly worn out, and he was furious and left the Ye family and the others, and ran to Ye Jinyu's courtyard, ready to arrest people.
But he pounced.
At the same time, Zhilan got the news that Ye Jinyu went to Juxianglou.
This is a famous restaurant in Kyoto, and this is not a place where ordinary people can go, where the simplest dish costs a few taels of silver.
