Chapter 336: Also a craftsman
"Has the fourth sister always suspected that her grandfather's death was related to the old lady?" On the way out of Fulu Courtyard, Ye Chulian said, "Fourth sister won't do things for no reason, there must be a reason why you asked me and my eldest sister to pour out the medicine in the past two days." ”
Ye Wenyan asked her rhetorically: "What do you think about the death of your grandfather?" ”
Ye Chulian thought for a while and said, "My aunt once said that the old lady Shouyuan has not yet reached the first Jiazi, and her body has always been tough, although it is not as good as when she was young, but it is not enough to say that there is no." She always felt that this matter was not quite right, but no one in the house held it accountable, and no one was willing to listen to her words, so she had to put it down. ”
She said this, and her voice was lowered a little, "Sister, I think so, if there is a problem with my grandfather's death, then my uncle's death is even more problematic." At first, everyone said that he was sick because of excessive sadness, but do you think this statement is reliable? Uncle is a general who goes to the battlefield to fight, and he sees too much life and death, and those brothers who drank together the night before may lose their heads the next day. So even if his father dies, he won't be so sad that he will put his life into it. ”
Ye Wenyan smiled bitterly, "Look, you understand this truth, how can other people not understand." ”
In the memory of the original owner, he remembers the events of that day very deeply. My father swallowed her breath, and my mother cried so much that she fainted several times, and every time she woke up, she would say that it was impossible, that your father could not just die like this. But the person is dead, and she can't cry back no matter how much she cries.
Ye Chulian said again: "If grandfather's medicine has been tampered with, then the uncle may have someone to do it." I just can't figure out if there is something between my grandmother and grandfather that can't be resolved, so she has to use my grandfather's death to calm the anger in her heart. So why is the uncle? What reason did she have to harm her son? ”
Ye Wenyan didn't know what enmity the old lady had with her eldest son, even if her father's death had nothing to do with the old lady, but the old lady's attitude towards the eldest son and the eldest son's family was obvious to all.
"Sister." Ye Chu took her arm, "I don't ask if I have more, I just want to tell my sister, if you need my help, please tell me, no matter what, I can do it." ”
Ye Wenyan looked at her for a while, and then asked, "Are you sure you want to get involved?" You must know that it is very dangerous to investigate this matter, and if you are not careful, you will be killed. I can protect myself, but I can't protect you all the time. ”
"It's okay, I'm not afraid." Ye Chulian said very seriously.
"What if you face a difficult choice in the future?"
"You mean my father?" Ye Chulian's face was bitter, "Sister, I can guarantee that my aunt is clean in these things, and I only care about my aunt." As for my father, he was not a stranger to me. The second brother may have hoped to be loved and valued by his parents, but I never even thought about it. I knew from the moment I was sensible that if I wanted to live in this family, I had to minimize my sense of existence, so low that they forgot about me, and I would be able to live. ”
She covered her face for a moment, then let go of her hand, her face full of sourness.
"It's a pity that even though we've pushed ourselves to the lowest, they still won't let me go. If it weren't for this funeral, I might have gotten engaged, the other party is a fool, and it is the pro-authority of Mrs. Xiao's mother's family. In order to tie up with the Xiao family, in order to consolidate the relationship between the General's Mansion and the Xiao family, my father wanted to send me to a fool, and said that this is my blessing, because that fool is a son-in-law, and I am also a wife when I marry. It is a blessing that I can marry my sister-in-law as my wife, and it is because the second lady thinks of me in her heart that she gave me such a good family business. Sister, you say it's ridiculous. ”
Ye Wenyan has no impression of this matter, the affairs of the second room have always been done secretly, and the old lady will not say it in front of everyone, so she doesn't know about it, and her mother Mu shouldn't know either.
Ye Chulian continued to speak: "Later, because of the successive mournings of our family, this matter had to be suspended. Sister, you may not believe it, but in my memory, my father has never smiled at me, and every time he looks at me, I feel that there is calculation in his eyes. He has been calculating which of these children under his command can be sent to where, and how much benefit it can bring him. We are like objects, held in his hands, waiting to be sold. ”
Ye Wenyan sighed, she was also very helpless, the second room of the night house lived out the feeling of the owner of the big house, and in turn, the big house was harmonious. Of course, we also have to get rid of the nights.
Now that the second room is the head of the house, whether it is Yejingsheng or Xiao's, there is more room to play, and the future should be more exciting! It's just that these children are suffering, and I don't know what their future will be.
"Sister." Ye Chulian shook her twice, "You just take me!" I'm a child of the Ye family, and if the Ye family collapses, I have to follow it, so I have to find a way out for myself. ”
"What kind of way out do you want?"
"I don't know." Ye Chulian shook her head, "I just know that it's right to follow the fourth sister." Sister, don't blame me for using you more, even if I use it, I will give everything I can, and I will not be an ungrateful person. I only hope that in the future, when my aunt and I reach the end of the mountain, the fourth sister can pull us, just like you pull the second brother, and I won't ask for anything else. ”
Miss Yewu, who has always been pitiful, has abandoned her usual appearance at this moment, and her eyes are unusually firm.
Ye Wenyan nodded, "Then follow me!" The person who follows me wholeheartedly, I will never let her suffer. ”
Ye Chulian was very happy, and even the maid who followed behind her was happy for her. The master has a guarantee, and the maid is also stained, and with the blessing of the fourth lady in the future, the future can finally see the light.
So Sui Xi asked: "Do you want to listen to the second master and learn those strange things?" ”
Ye Wen was puzzled, "What strange thing?" What did your father teach you? ”
Ye Chu sighed and said, "It's a kind of painting dance, dancing while painting with your feet on the ground." In winter, when there is snow on the ground, they draw in the snow, and in spring and autumn, when there is no snow on the ground, they tie dye to their feet and paint with dye. But the master who taught me said that dye-tied painting is boring, no one likes to watch it, and the real essence of painting and dancing is to paint with blood. It is to pierce the soles of the feet in advance and draw them with their own blood. ”
Ye Wenyan frowned when he heard it, the people of Northern Qi are sick, right? Where are so many strange dances? Li Yanran danced at the tip of the knife, and Ye Chulian came out with a painting dance, what kind of person has to study this thing all day long?
"Fourth sister, don't worry, I haven't studied again in the past two days, and I also made it clear to my dancing master that I don't learn this kind of thing, and she can leave after she finishes this month's case silver. This kind of dance is a crooked and evil way, and the man who can fall in love with this kind of dance is not necessarily a good thing. As for learning the rest...... In fact, I can't learn anything, the master who divides the tea will also leave in the past two days, and the piano master and the painter's house have not paid for the settlement of the work, and they left three days earlier. ”
After hearing this, Shen'er made a summary: "The second master wants the horses to run again, and he doesn't give the horses grass, and he wants to take advantage of others for nothing!" Why did he detain it like that? ”
Ye Chulian said: "It's not necessarily a deduction, I used to be generous, maybe I just don't want to cultivate me anymore!" Actually, I don't care about these things, there is nothing to lose by learning or not learning. I fantasized that if one day I could have a small shop that I could take care of as I pleased, I would open a sake brewery and make my own wine. The fourth sister doesn't know yet, I have a unique skill in making wine, which was passed on to me by my aunt. ”
Ye Wenyan really didn't know this, so he asked, "Aunt Liu knows how to make wine?" ”
"Hmm." Ye Chulian nodded, "Aunt told me that the Liu family originally opened a winery, and many years ago, the winery was opened in a deep alley in the outer city, and the fragrance of the altar every time it was opened can attract many people. really responded to that sentence, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. My aunt has lived in the winery since she was a child, watching my grandfather make wine and helping to taste it. My grandfather was just this child, so all the skills were passed on to her. I guess I started teaching it when I was five or six years old, anyway, in my aunt's words, before she sold herself into slavery, the craft of winemaking was already better than that of her grandfather. ”
Ye Chulian's eyes flashed when she said these words, and her whole person became lively, "It's a pity that my grandfather offended people later, and the wine shop was smashed, and my aunt was forced to sell herself as a slave and become a maid for others, and then became a concubine of the Ye family." Over the years, our mother and daughter have been the most idle people in the general's mansion, and when they have nothing to do, my aunt taught me the method of making wine. I practiced it secretly, and my aunt said that I was very talented, and my skills were no worse than hers. ”
Ye Wenyan had some ideas when she heard this, she said to Ye Chulian: "I gave it to my eldest brother in the medical hall of the Li family in the inner city, and I gave it to my eldest sister in the cloth village on the side. I think the craft of sake brewing is good, so I want to make a batch of medicinal liquor. I will add the medicinal properties of the wine, you just brew the wine, I will try not to let the medicinal properties affect the taste and texture of the wine, so that people can drink alcohol at the same time to strengthen the body, and even go to the disease to heal. What do you think is a good idea? ”
Ye Chulian's joy was almost overflowing in her eyes, she grabbed Ye Wenyan's hand, and was so excited that she was incoherent: "Okay, good, great, I'll go brew." No, no, I have to prepare the materials first, and there has to be a place, not at home, my father and the second lady can't let it. Or I'll go to the infirmary, I'll help the eldest brother open up first, and I'll start when the infirmary is done. No, no, there is still a shortage of silver, and it takes a lot of money to buy materials. Go back to my house and see how much more money we can scrape together!" ”
