Ye Tian mainly asked them to arrive in the middle of the afternoon, and in the evening, the Xu family set a table at home and invited them.

The uncle of the Xu family is Ye Tianzhuo's uncle, Aunt Ye's parents passed away, the Xu family has long been separated, and Xu Liang, the cousin of his second uncle's family, who followed Ye Tianzhuo to Fengyang Mansion last time.

Uncle Xu's children have two sons and two daughters, both of whom have become married, and there are two concubines and three concubines, and one concubine and two concubines have not yet married.

The ancestors of the Xu family were in the medicinal materials business, and since Aunt Ye entered the Ye family, the Xu family has done the business of goods in the north and south, but they are mainly engaged in medicinal materials.

The Xu family banquet set up two tables, the male in the front hall and the female in the guest room.

Ye Tianzhuo's three cousins accompanied one guest, and in the guest room was Xu's aunt and the three daughters-in-law and one concubine of the Xu family accompanied Tao Guiju.

Tao Guiju is not happy when she is pregnant, she originally had a good appetite, and now she eats everything fragrantly.

At the dinner table, Aunt Xu beckoned her to eat, and there was a maid behind him to serve him vegetables.

She just couldn't understand what she said, so she only nodded and smiled.

The dishes are so delicious, no wonder my husband said that the best food is still Lingnan food.

In the front hall, Uncle Xu was very polite to the Tao brothers, and he could still understand the official words he said, after all, there were many people in contact with business.

Ye Tianzhuo proudly showed off his official position, and was ordered to travel in the mountains and rivers, the two eldest brothers were his bodyguards, and the cousins and cousins of the Xu family looked at them with envy.

He grew up in Lingnan and was very familiar with his uncle's family.

Finally, he said: "Uncle, find me a small house, and arrange a few more people who can speak official language, my daughter-in-law has a body, and I have to let her live comfortably." ”

Uncle Xu said: "There is a place to live at home, there are subordinates, what is uncomfortable?" ”

Ye Tianzhuo said: "Of course I can live comfortably alone, but as soon as my daughter-in-law comes back for the first time, I can't sleep lazily here, I have to say hello to my uncle and aunt, and I'm embarrassed to say anything I want to eat." This is my first child, and I have to make my daughter-in-law happy, so that the child can eat and sleep well in her mother's belly. ”

Uncle Xu said: "There is a house not far from here, send someone to clean it up tomorrow." ”

Ye Tianzhuo hurriedly said: "Just prepare the futon, we don't plan to cook, eat outside, or buy it back to eat." I have to ask my daughter to eat the delicious food in Guangzhou Mansion one by one. ”

Uncle Xu heard that he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to say that he was my daughter, not the two brothers of the Tao family, he had to say that he was a nephew, and he had to say that he was a son if he wanted to have good intentions.

After eating, Ye Tian Zhuo led the Tao brothers to the guest room, and then turned back to see his uncle.

"Uncle, it's hard for me to say that my eldest brother is here, don't think that my father-in-law's family is looked down upon by the countrymen. My father-in-law is from the second room of the Tao family, and my uncle knows who the son-in-law of the third room of the Tao family is? He is the nephew of the queen's mother. Also, my daughter-in-law's cousin is the eldest daughter of Princess Jianfeng, and she is also my father's daughter-in-law, and her brother is General Luo Xiao. My daughter-in-law's cousin. Married to the son of my godsister's adoptive mother. ”

Uncle Xu only knew that his nephew had gotten married, and he also gave gifts, who exactly he married. I don't know.

This will be shocked to hear my nephew say, and I am confused, why does a countryman in the Tao family have so many noble relatives?

Ye Tianzhuo explained the matter in detail, "Uncle, you are my own uncle, so I will say it carefully." You can't talk nonsense outside, if it reaches the ears of the little general, no one can save it with a wave of the kitchen knife. ”

Uncle Xu said solemnly. "Don't worry, nephew, as far as I know, I will give it to your cousin and they won't say it." ”

The heart is full of joy, the nephew is close to each other, and the Xu family is also stained.

But he understands that the Xu family is recognized by the Ye family, and the nephew recognizes it, so you can follow the benefits, if you don't recognize it, the Xu family is not the in-laws of the Ye family.

After the nephew left, Uncle Xu called Uncle Xu's aunt and explained that he was going to entertain his nephew and daughter-in-law.

She took out a few silver tickets and said, "Tomorrow you give this to your nephew and daughter-in-law, and you will say that it is a meeting gift." Then go to Jinlou to order some head jewelry, pick expensive, don't be afraid to spend silver. ”

Aunt Xu didn't know what it meant, and she couldn't take the ones she had prepared in advance?

But looking at her nephew and daughter-in-law, who was rustic and didn't have decent jewelry, I asked her and said that her family made clay pots, and her ancestors had lived in the countryside for generations.

Uncle Xu said: "Don't ask more, I'll just tell you, the nephew can take a good kiss, and the nephew and daughter-in-law can enter the prefect's house." ”

Aunt Xu was taken aback, even if the Xu family had an aunt and grandmother who was the second room of Master Ye, the daughters of the Xu family did not say that they could enter the prefect's house.

What is the origin of this Tao girl?

In a blink of an eye, I thought about it again, if it was just an ordinary countryman, my nephew and his father would not marry him.

Seeing the excitement in her husband's serious expression, Aunt Xu asked, "Does my nephew and daughter-in-law have a noble relative?" ”

When the new dynasty was established, many mud-legged people turned into nobles by merit, such as the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, the Gu family was a family with a title, and the Gu family in Lingnan was a grass gate and a high gate.

Aunt Xu asked in surprise, "Is it a relative of the Gu family?" ”

Uncle Xu said inscrutablely: "What is the Gu family?" Isn't it just a marquis? ”

The cousin-in-law of the niece and daughter-in-law is the emperor's niece, and there are more relatives than the Gu family.

Uncle Xu coughed twice and said: "You know, don't underestimate your nephew and daughter-in-law, give a few explanations to the family, don't look down on people, our Xu family can only get a little silver, and it's nothing in front of others." I'll say it first, if anyone offends a guest, I will leave no sinners in my family. ”

Aunt Xu listened to what her husband said seriously, and knew that her nephew and daughter-in-law were valuable, so she had to tell her daughter-in-law and make good friends.

Whoever lives in an unfamiliar house will also be restrained, Tao Guiju told her husband before she came, met her uncle, and then rented a house or a guest house. She can't be aggrieved now, if she is aggrieved, the child in her belly will also be aggrieved into an old lady's face.

Where would Ye Tianzhuo let his daughter be a little old lady as soon as she was born, so she told Uncle Xu to borrow a house.

The next day, he urged his uncle to clean up the house, and followed him personally.

Aunt Xu went to the gold store early in the morning, picked the latest and most expensive heads, packed up and bought a bunch, packed in three jewelry boxes, jewelry boxes are all picked with gold jewelry, dragon and phoenix auspicious, mandarin ducks playing in the water, rich and noble flowers. There are also some gold locks and jade pendants for one-year-old children.

She thought that her nephew would definitely respond to Tianfu in a hurry and give a birth gift in advance.

The shopkeeper of the gold store is strange, the sons and daughters of the Xu family have all married, and those who have not married are a concubine and two concubines.

Go back and ask.

Aunt Xu went directly to the guest room after going back. Take out the gift, Tao Guiju was startled, there are still a bunch of gifts for this gift? Seeing that it was all jewelry, she thought that the Xu family saw that she was not wearing any jewelry, so she sent these. The husband said that his uncle's family had money, and he spent his uncle's money since he was a child.

Tao Guiju explained: "Auntie, I have jewelry, and it is inconvenient to wear it on the road, so I put it away and didn't wear it. The eldest aunt will keep it for my cousin. ”

Aunt Xu said: "What you have is yours, this is my aunt's intention." The elders can't give it, you just take it. ”

Tao Guiju was even more frightened, what did the eldest aunt say? Which elder is going to die? If you want to die and give her so many gifts, you have to thank her in person.

After moving to the small house, Tao Guiju took out the jewelry box and told Ye Tianzhuo.

Ye Tianzhuo covered his stomach and smiled, Tao Guiju knew that he had heard something, and blushed and said, "What are you laughing at?" Tell me what it means. ”

"The elders cannot refuse, that is, the gifts given by the elders cannot be shirked."

Tao Guiju said: "Of course I know this sentence, but I don't sound like this is what my aunt said. ”

Ye Tianzhuo said: "Don't guess if you don't understand in the future, I won't say bad things in front of you." You take what you give you, and you nod what you say. Anyway, you can understand the official language, so you just say thank you, okay, and good. ”

After speaking, he still couldn't stop laughing, so angry that Tao Guiju reached out to hit him.

The day after moving into the small house, Ye Tianzhuo took his daughter-in-law to his second uncle's house again, and he didn't say much about the Tao family to the second uncle.

Cousin Xu Liang is already married, and he is very happy to see him. The two cousins are the same age, Ye Tian Zhuoyue is older, the two can be said to have grown up together, and their affection is naturally better than that of other cousins.

Staying at his second uncle's house for a meal, Ye Tianzhuo said that he would stay here for a while and come back when he was free.

Xu Liang personally sent them back to the small house and got to know each other with the Tao brothers.

After that, Ye Tianzhuo took his daughter-in-law and two uncles to wander around the streets, and always found a teahouse for Tao Guiju to rest, Ye Tianzhuo wanted Tao Guiju to stay at home, but Tao Guiju didn't do it, saying that if she was tired, she would naturally go home.

Two days later, Ye Tianzhuo's two cousins came, the eldest cousin came the first day, and the second cousin came the next day, and the two of them all took valuable gifts, not only to Tao Guiju, but also to the Tao brothers.

The two cousins of the Xu family are both married to merchants and have children, but they didn't bring their children when they came to visit.

Ye Tianzhuo returned the gift, and the gifts for his relatives were all prepared by him, so Tao Guiju didn't have to worry about this at all.

The two eldest cousins of the Xu family look like Uncle Xu, and they are also a bit similar to Aunt Ye.

Or they all say that their nieces are like aunts.

Tao Huiju secretly looked at them, and they also secretly looked at Tao Guiju.

The mother said that this cousin's daughter-in-law has a very high status in her mother's family, which is higher than the Gu family, but with their eyesight, no matter how you look at it, she is a country girl, and she is not as good as the female dependents of their businessmen.

He doesn't look good, because he is a little fat when he is pregnant, his skin is rough, and his hands are stretched out with large bone joints, and he is used to doing farm work at a glance.

They didn't know that it was caused by Tao Guiju dancing with guns and sticks.

The two cousins of the Xu family asked their mother-in-law, but their mother-in-law didn't say anything, but just said that you guys are good, and there is only good and no harm.

If there are guests coming to Ye Tianzhuo, they will stay at home, and if there are no guests, they will be outside, and the guests are also relatives, Ye Tianzhuo said that his playmates when he was young did not contact them.

He doesn't contact, but when he goes out, he will inevitably meet, and it's okay to meet a friend, but the first one to meet the one who quarreled as soon as they met before, Shi Jinjie.

Shi Jinjie had been to Ying Tianfu and knew that Ye Tianzhuo was not the person he used to laugh at casually.

He knew, but the people next to him didn't.

Next to him is his brother-in-law's younger brother Liu Zaiyuan, a son of the official family, and Liu Tongzhi's youngest son-in-law.

Shi Jinjie's family is in the gold jewelry business, his second sister is married to Liu Tongzhi's second son, and a merchant girl is married to the official son-in-law, there must be a problem.

The problem is that Liu Tongzhi's second son is a cripple, and he has a crush on the daughter of the Shi family, and the reason why the Liu family agrees to this family affair is that Liu Tongzhi's mother is the master.

This lame grandson was taken to the theater by Mrs. Liu, but the stage collapsed and he was too late to run, and his ankle was broken and he was disabled.

So Mrs. Liu felt sorry for her grandson, she depended on her grandson for everything, and the person her grandson liked was not a merchant girl, not a lady in a flower building.

The Shi family is Liu Tongzhi's serious in-laws, while the Xu family is not the Ye family's serious in-laws. So in the past, Shi Jinjie always laughed at Ye Tianzhuo for being a concubine, and it was ironic to meet a few small members of the Xu family.

At that time, everyone will not be big, and the friction between teenagers will not affect the family, and after the quarrel is over, it will not prevent the next meeting to continue to quarrel.

Shi Jinjie went back to Ying Tianfu and was beaten by Ye Tian Zhuo together with Feng Gaokui, knowing that Ye Tian Zhuo was not the person who mocked him at will before.

But Liu Zaiyuan didn't know that it was impossible for Shi Jinjie to say that he was faceless when he came back.

Liu Zaiyuan saw Ye Tianzhuo and walked over with his stomach up.

"I said, who is this? It turned out to be Ye Gongzi. When did Ye Gongzi come back? didn't say a word, when the brother invited Ye Gongzi to dinner. ”

He is one day older than Ye Tian Zhuo, and every time he meets, he always calls himself a brother.

The tone is kind and good, and those who don't know think it's a good friend meeting.

Ye Tian Zhuo was tilting his head to talk to his daughter-in-law, and when he heard someone talking to him, he turned his head to look at it and laughed.

He looked at Shi Jinjie next to him, thinking that Liu Zaiyuan was so polite to him because Shi Jinjie came back and said something.

Ye Tianzhuo arched his hand and said, "I haven't seen Liu Gongzi for a long time. ”

Shi Jinjie arched his hand again: "We met again, I said what's the matter with you?" I used to be with the fat ball, one thin and one fat. This is back, how did you infect Liu Gongzi into a fat ball?

They say that Feng Gaokui's fat ball is an intimate title, and Feng Gaokui sometimes says himself: I am a fat ball.

Liu Zaiyuan doesn't want to listen to it, isn't it just a little fat? Why does he curse?

Originally, the two didn't deal with each other before, your father is the prefect, and my father is the same knowledge, but I am the son-in-law, and you are the concubine. I heard that your father was promoted and went to Yingtianfu to be the governor of the mansion, my father still knows the same, but you are still a concubine.

Liu Tongzhi said with a dark face: "What? Scolding as soon as you meet? Relying on your father's promotion, bullying people, isn't it?

Ye Tian Zhuo is inexplicable, who scolded you? Then he said proudly: "I don't have to rely on my father, I myself am from the fifth grade." We are old friends, I don't care about you, otherwise you will have to kneel when you see me. ”

Liu Zaiyuan jumped up and wanted to hit Ye Tian Zhuo, and scolded in his mouth: "I'll kneel you a ball!" Do you think this is Ying Tianfu? Bragging blows to me! ”

They used to quarrel when they met, if it was before, as soon as he made a move, Ye Tianzhuo also jumped up and started with him, but now it is not before.

As soon as he jumped up, Tao Guiju next to him kicked up, directly kicked him back a few steps, and was supported by the person next to him.

Ye Tianzhuo jumped up, but he jumped up at his daughter-in-law, pulled her daughter-in-law and said, "My aunt, when will it be your turn to do it?" Isn't it a piece of cake to beat him? Don't do it in the future, there is me, and your brother. ”
