Chapter 434: Unkind parents-in-law

Ye Mingyue was Xie Lao'an who saw her mother first, and then Xiaobei, who came to see her. Although Xie Lao'an didn't quite understand why the Ye family, which clearly had a man, asked the eldest lady to come over, Ye Mingyue acted generously, and her words and deeds made people not picky, but it was completely different from Xiaobei's lively and outspoken, and she suddenly became curious about Mrs. Su, who had never met before. After thinking about it, she asked the sisters of the Ming Ye family if they planned to go back to Huizhou when Wang Fulin had done something here, and she also had a plan to return to her hometown to worship her relatives.

After all, the old mansion in Songming Mountain was under the care of the old servant, and she only went back once fifteen years ago, and now that she has the idea of returning to her hometown, it is time to go back and see!

Therefore, as soon as Ye Mingyue's front foot arrived, Wang Fulin came to visit, Xie Lao'an couldn't help but be a little confused, and after Wang Fulin met, she smiled and clarified the intention, and she suddenly realized.

"This time, it was Mr. Ke, Mr. Ke, who was hired by Ye County, to escort the eldest lady over, because Ye Xianzun was worried that I would delay my studies when I went out, after all, even the son of Master Cheng's family was the same as me, and he was once taught by Mr. Cheng. As for the eldest lady, she came to Yangzhou to pick up her sister, and she also came to visit relatives. I also just learned that the distant cousin of the original lady was the wife of Lord Gu, the envoy of the Lianghuai Salt Transport, and after their sisters reunited, I was afraid that they would have to visit the elders and stay for a while. I came today to discuss this matter with Lao An, and by the way, I discussed the schedule with their sisters. ”

Xie Lao'an was originally a little worried that Wang Fulin's arrival would make Wang Daomin see what clues, but he didn't expect Xiaobei's aunt to be the wife of the Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy! Thinking that the little girl had never mentioned this stubble before, she was suddenly a little displeased, although she didn't bring it out on her face, she sighed in her heart. I thought that girl was really unscrupulous, but it turned out that she still regarded her as an outsider!

At this time, Wang Fulin coughed dryly and said, "Don't hide it from Lao An." In fact, this relative is a bit far away, plus Xiaobei's aunt has been in office with her husband all the year round, Xiaobei has only seen it as a child, so I don't know very well, she has not been to visit her since she arrived in Yangzhou, and it is precisely because she doesn't know it at all. Madame got the letter we sent back in She County. I heard that we arrived in Yangzhou, so I thought of that layer of relatives, so I asked the eldest lady to come over, led Xiaobei to visit, and by the way, lived there for a while. ”

Otherwise, what could he say, Xiaobei was not originally the daughter of the Ye family, so he couldn't remember all his relatives?

Saying this, Xie Lao'an immediately dispelled the slightest unhappiness just now, and hurriedly said: "Since they are not so close relatives. Why bother people? Wouldn't it be good for the eldest lady to stay with me too? ”

Wang Fulin was glad that Xie Lao'an believed his explanation quite easily, so he agreed to help persuade him, and finally got Xie Lao'an's permission and was taken into the house to meet people. When he saw Xiao Bei, whose eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and Ye Mingyue, who was next to her, he spoke: "Mr. Ke has told me, this is great news, and compared to Zeng Miao's original beheading. After decades of being wronged, Hu Gong was barely lucky. The deceased is gone. Don't be sad. ”

Ye Mingyue also followed and said, "What you said is true." Xiaobei just said that because of Shao Fang, she didn't even have a good impression of the first high pavilion elder, but this time she wanted to remember his love. ”

Gao Xinzheng really relied on Shao Fang's power to bribe the powerful Da Jue to be able to recover. Moreover, after entering the cabinet, he acted more rigidly, and he was also ruthless to political opponents, but he was bold and able to fight corruption and reform bad government. There is no suspicion in employing people, not in doubt, and he did not keep people like Shao Fang to run around, which shows that his ambition is extraordinary. ”

said this, but Wang Fulin was thinking in his heart, but it was a pity that the political life of this first assistant was completely countdown. Seeing that Xiaobei took the cold towel handed by Bizhu and put it on his red and swollen eyes, he diverted the topic and said, "Then again, do you really want to move to the Yanyun Division Houya on Yunsi Street?" ”

Xiaobei was no longer as happy and sad as she was when she first heard the news, not to mention that Wang Fulin hurried over, such an attitude made her feel the joy of being taken seriously. She threw down the towel to Bizhu, then looked at Ye Mingyue and said, "Sister, I haven't seen much of the aunt you just mentioned, otherwise, let's go and see each other together, but you still live here with me when you turn around, right?" Xie Lao'an is fine. ”

"What my mother said, you don't listen to it now?" Ye Mingyue scratched Xiaobei's nose, and then said to Wang Fulin, "When my mother heard that you arrived in Yangzhou, I remembered that the Wang family of Songmingshan was also operating a salt industry in Yangzhou, and it happened that the uncle of the Gu family was transferred to the salt transportation envoy not long ago, so I specially asked me to take Xiaobei to meet people." Mother admires our aunt a lot, although Xiaobei's life experience is not easy to say, but after mentioning to others that it is a wronged court official, so aunt She should get along very well. Besides, when they arrived in Yangzhou, they didn't live at a relative's house, but at the house of a relative of the same clan of their fiancé, what do you want your aunt to think when the time comes? ”

Xiaobei was just disturbed by the relatives of the seven aunts and eight aunts of the Ye family in the past, and she really didn't want to deal with it, and when she heard that it was Mrs. Su, and she was still the wife of the salt envoy, she didn't insist anymore, not to mention that her fiancé's relatives of the same clan made her a little embarrassed. So, she could only mumble in a low voice: "I think when we were in Hangzhou, we also got acquainted with the two daughters of the two Zhejiang salt transport envoys, the two sisters of the Shi family are gentle and amiable, they are all good people, I don't know how the relatives are in my aunt's place?" ”

"When are you going, I'll send you?"

Seeing Wang Fulin say this, Ye Mingyue couldn't help but wonder: "I know that you are busy, and now there is an extra Mr. Ke who has an ear to mention his life, so go and be busy with you!" ”

"Yes, yes, you go and do your own business, don't forget to get down to business, and study!" Xiaobei also hurriedly agreed, but his eyes were wandering around. Last time, Wang Fulin said to Xie Lao'an that she was his fiancée, she was already embarrassed enough, and this time she had to talk to her mother's relatives again, it would be very bad, after all, my sister is also there, and I will tell my father and mother when I go back!

Wang Fulin came here because Hu Zongxian had been rehabilitated by Zhaoxue, and he was not very worried about Xiaobei's reaction, plus since Ye Mingyue had arrived, he couldn't even show his face, and since the sisters were driving people away at this moment, he would no longer insist. He asked Ye Xianzun carefully about his current situation.

It was learned that the new county commander had arrived before Ye Mingyue's departure, and the yamen of the Huining Dao Inspection Division had almost been transformed. Prior to this, Ye Junyao first went to Fucheng to take office, because the family's yard had not been repaired, the Ye family discussed with his parents, except for Ye Junyao, the others temporarily moved to his small mansion. He suddenly had a subtle feeling.

I don't know if it was Ye Dacang's idea or Mrs. Su's idea, this is really a pair of unkind fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law! But then again, Ye Mingyue and Xiaobei went to see the lady of the salt transport envoy, of course, not only to recognize relatives, but also to help him, from this point of view, it is really another kind of unkindness.

Although Ye Mingyue is not like Xiaobei who disguises herself as a man along the way, she doesn't plan to show up too much in Yangzhou this time. Even Master Cheng only asked Wang Fulin to send greetings, and did not go in person. She and Xiaobei finally went to quit Xie Lao'an, said it clearly, and then both went to visit the wife of the salt envoy Su Shi, who was the salt envoy of the Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy. Xiaobei had already been instructed by Ye Mingyue, and did not mention the intrigue of those salt merchants, only that Mrs. Su heard that Su followed her husband to Yangzhou to take office, thinking that the two places were not far apart, and it was when Xinchang Lu Gongzi passed by She County. entrusted him to take them to Yangzhou to meet his aunt.

The two nieces came over, and Su Shi was surprised at the same time. Also a little happy. Mrs. Su wrote to her in her early years to tell her that after Xiaobei was a wronged friend, she was initially fostered at home, and now her children are getting married when they are older, so she is recognized in Ye Junyao's name for the sake of fame. So she was the same to the two sisters, and she had to move them from the inn to herself, and even sent someone to carry the luggage at once. Ye Mingyue tried her best to persuade people, saying that her accompanying family would go to pick it up, and finally did not expose the inside story of Xiaobei living with Xie Lao'an for a long time.

Su is in his early forties. He is eight years older than Mrs. Su, but he already has three sons, and his only regret is that he has no daughter. Not only that, her eldest son and second son are already married, and the two daughters-in-law tied the knot not long after entering the door, and added two grandchildren to her. Therefore, seeing that Ye Mingyue was gentle, Xiaobei was pretty, and she was the daughter of her cousin who had a good temper, after she left people, she actually opened the house in person, not to mention, but also asked them to live in Yangzhou for a while, and even enthusiastically planned to introduce them to the daughters of several Yangzhou officials.

In the face of such overly enthusiastic relatives, Xiaobei was relieved, and pulled Su Shi to talk with a smile about Ye Mingyue's participation in the Yixiang Club in Huizhou. Su Shi was worried that Xiaobei would change dramatically, and his temperament couldn't help but be cautious and taciturn, but he didn't expect her to be so easy to get close to people, so he naturally felt more pity, and immediately nodded and said: "These ladies in Yangzhou also love to form associations to entertain themselves, but it's a pity that I don't have daughters at home, although the two daughters-in-law are still young, but they are both mothers. If you like, I'll have you led you there. ”

The Ming Dynasty's salt transport division is not as good as the status of the Song Dynasty salt transport division, and even regarded as a turbidity stream, according to the law of officialdom promotion, the salt transport envoys from all over the country are promoted from the prefect, and after the expiration of the term, most of them will be promoted to the political secretary to participate in politics, that is, the higher level of the guard, can enter the court as an official is rare, but the status of the two Huai salt transport divisions is different after all.

The world's five major salt transportation divisions, Huai salt is sent to the border areas the most, Gansu, Yansui, Ningxia, Xuanfu, Datong, Liaodong, Guyuan, Shanxi Shenchi Forts all rely on Huai salt, and every year sent to Taicang of silver, the five major salt transportation divisions total more than 900,000 taels, two Huai accounted for 600,000 taels! Therefore, the shortage of the five salt envoys, two Huai is the first class of beauty, and two Zhejiang are secondary, so Su Fang has such confidence.

Xiaobei hurriedly shook his head and said: "We won't stay in Yangzhou for a long time, aunt doesn't have to bother, my sister and I have nothing to talk to you." Besides, there are sisters-in-law and nephews! ”

"I was in She County before, and it was also because my mother was not there, and my father's eyes were black when he first arrived, and our sisters were idle, and we also helped to inquire about the news for my father, not that I like to get together to make a scene, my aunt just listened to Xiaobei, don't bother." Speaking of this, Ye Mingyue asked unintentionally, "By the way, I heard on the road that it has been raining a lot of rain on the Yellow River recently, and the water level of the canal is high, and Yangzhou even wants to open the sickle early?" ”

"Exactly." Su Shi nodded, and then said with some concern, "The master has been to the prefect's yamen several times for this matter, and he is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid that the canal will be flooded and the salt will be blocked like before." Moreover, according to the master's intentions, the salt on the east side of the banknote pass will be released as soon as possible, and then transported and sold with those salt merchants, but it is not easy to talk to the salt patrol imperial history, and he is still opening orders and checking them one by one. ”
