Chapter 54: The Episode of Birth
Ye Hao looked at them fixedly, and said casually: "Is there anything wrong with my aunt coming to me today?" It is impossible for Aunt Lu to be attentive without anything, and this high-profile trip to the IELTS Institute with Ye Ning must have a plan.
Aunt Lu saw that Ye Hao was so refreshing, she went straight to the point, and she didn't twist, she pulled the cowardly Ye Ning over, and said with a smile: "County Lord, you see that you are stuffy in the house all day long, if you let Miss Eight accompany you, it will not be boring."
She stared at Ye Hao with earnest eyes for a moment, and her purpose was very simple, now that Ye Hao was the royal county lord, if she let Ning'er have a good relationship with her, then she could take Ning'er with her to any banquet, and Ning'er could also gain a foothold in Bian Jing's circle of nobles, and her abacus was indeed very good.
"Aunt Lu has a heart, but I have to be busy with the school inspection all day long, I'm afraid that the eighth sister will find it boring in me." Ye Hao rejected her quietly, and smiled faintly, "Eighth sister is so clever and lovely, anyone will like it, my aunt is too worried." This is a slap in the face to give a candy, and it also secretly reminds Aunt Lu that she knows her intentions.
Aunt Lu smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly motioned Ye Ning to step forward with her eyes, Ye Ning had a blank expression, twisted the corners of her clothes uneasily, and asked cowardly: "Fourth sister, Ning'er is not afraid that her sister is busy and has no time to take care of Ning'er, Ning'er just wants to get along with the fourth sister more, after all, ......" She lowered her voice, as low as a mosquito, "After all, Ning'er really likes the fourth sister, if the sister dislikes Ning'er is status as a concubine, Ning'er, Ning'er."
When she said this, her eyes were a little choked and red, and she looked like she had been wronged.
Ye Hao glanced at her and smiled, "Since the eighth sister said so, if I still don't agree, it's really a sin." She was distinctly smiling, with a calm face and a gentle brow. However, Ye Ning felt the cold for no reason, his whole body was cold, he looked at Ye Hao's gaze, and quickly withdrew his gaze, looked away with a weak heart, and suppressed the panic in his heart.
Aunt Lu didn't notice this, she only thought that Ye Hao agreed, thinking about Ning'er's wealth and glory in the future, the corners of her mouth unconsciously bloomed with a bright smile, "The concubine thanked the fourth miss on behalf of the eighth miss." ”
Looking at the furnishings of this IELTS courtyard, the Duobao Pavilion in Ye Zhen's house, and then thinking of the tattered condition of her own courtyard, it is simply miserable, one day, she will let Ning'er live such a luxurious and rich life, thinking, her eyes burst with a gleam, and she felt that she was not far from this kind of life.
Aunt Lu and Ye Ning achieved their goals, so naturally they didn't stay long, and left respectfully, with a happy and smiling look on their faces, Miaolan greeted her and asked, "Miss, what did you do to promise Aunt Lu and them?" At a glance, you can see what they think. ”
"I naturally know, but whether Ye Ning can persist or not is another matter." Ye Ning came to her just to rely on her relationship to climb up to those noble girls, but unfortunately she miscalculated, she couldn't have anything to do with those noble girls, and when Ye Ning gradually discovered this fact, what would she do? It must be a repentance that was not at the beginning.
Miao Lan nodded, "Indeed, Miss, I don't think that Miss Eight will be able to hold on!" ”
…………
Since Mrs. Ye said that she was going to hold a banquet for three days, it would inevitably be vigorous and lively, so she instructed the Lin family to take silver from the public to subsidize the expenses, and when the Lin family heard it, she was naturally willing, not to mention that this comprador item vegetables and fruits can earn some extra silver taels, even if it is understandable to embezzle some of it, in short, the old lady is impossible to manage.
He swore and promised: "The daughter-in-law will definitely do her best to hold the banquet."
So from the 5th to the 7th, the news of Yefu's big banquet spread throughout Bian Jing, and the name was to accumulate grace and virtue for Ye Hao's county lord, and thank the saint for his favor, so he held a banquet. Regardless of the identity of the visitor, they were treated as distinguished guests, and a porridge shed was set up outside the gate of the mansion to give out good porridge, and almost the entire beggar in Bian Jing went to the gate of the Ye Mansion to accept alms. For a while, Ye Fushan became famous, and even Ye Hao's reputation also improved somewhat.
In the early morning of the 6th, Ye Mansion was very lively, full of laughter, Mrs. Ye sat on a chair in the hall, and was talking to the Duchess of Xia Guo on the side, Mrs. Ye took the lead in speaking: "Sister Xia, look at this girl, she has become a big girl in a blink of an eye."
The full tone of exclamation made the Duchess of Xia Guo also smile, "Isn't it, it's still your fate, what an honor it is for your granddaughter to be canonized as the county lord by the emperor." ”
Duchess Xia also knows Ye Hao's reputation, when she saw Ye Hao in the past, she intuitively felt that she was a pampered girl who didn't know how to be polite, but today, the girl's face was calm, with a light smile, a dignified posture, polite manners, and no trace of pampered shadows, which made her can't help but look up to Ye Hao a little bit, and this time her praise for Ye Hao was a little more sincere.
Mrs. Ye smiled and said: "Where, it is obvious that the emperor looked down on the girl, and she picked up a coincidence." After speaking, he smiled and looked at Ye Hao, who was surrounded by noblewomen not far away, and nodded with satisfaction.
And here, Ye Hao was surrounded by a group of noble women, and kept asking, although they were extremely disdainful of Ye Hao's straw bales, but in order to be close to this good girl who had recently become the county lord, they also had to accompany a smiling face, and said those words against their will.
Ye Hao was indifferent from beginning to end, and in the face of everyone's questions, she also answered concisely and concisely, and even had some perfunctory meaning, obviously her attitude caused some ladies to dislike, among them, there was a lady wearing a purple placket and a flower skirt, looking at Ye Hao, frowning quite displeased, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "The county lord is tired?" Why do I feel that the county lord is a little absent-minded? ”
As soon as the ladies heard this, they immediately thought of Ye Hao's perfunctory attitude, and they were indifferent as if they didn't care at all, they must be impatient with them, and they couldn't say it clearly, so they treated them with such an attitude.
was a little angry at the moment, they were the wives of several high-ranking officials, and some were even Mrs. Commandment, where could they endure being ignored by a yellow-haired girl who had not dried up.
Then the lady sneered: "If the county lord of Jiamin is not willing to talk to us, we will naturally not be bored." This is the silent accusation of Ye Hao, even if you are the county lord? The county lord with a different surname, who is not related by blood, offended them, and he was still worthless in their eyes, and he had little respect for Ye Hao, but now he has disappeared completely.
Ye Hao smiled, as if she inadvertently asked Fang Cai's sharp mouth, directly accusing her of not being Mrs., and said, "If I remember correctly, this is Mrs. Hu?"
Mrs. Hu raised her eyebrows noncommittally, snorted, and responded, Ye Hao didn't care, frowned a little puzzled, opened her mouth slowly, her voice seemed to float from afar, faintly mixed with coldness and mockery, she said: "How do I remember that Mrs. Hu and the second aunt are very good friends, why did Mrs. Hu meet the second aunt today?" Presumably the second aunt must be very concerned about you. ”
She smiled lightly, her eyes were like torches, staring at Mrs. Hu, but with inexplicable majesty and coldness.
Madame Hu was stunned for a moment, and then retorted, "What does the county lord mean by saying this?" ”
"It's not interesting, I just think Mrs. Hu probably wants to chat with the second aunt more, after all, Mrs. Hu and the second aunt have a deep friendship." She smiled, "No wonder I'm a little upset, I can understand that." ”
Ye Hao's words were a little deep, first pointed out in a few words that Mrs. Hu had a close relationship with the Lin family, and then said that Mrs. Hu did not come to the Ye Mansion to talk to the Lin family first, and finally suddenly realized that Mrs. Hu's resentment against Ye Hao was reasonable, which seemed to be an irrelevant matter, and it took a few more meanings when taken together.
Is Mrs. Biruhu's dissatisfaction with Ye Hao related to the Lin family and deliberately making things difficult? And Ye Hao's words of advancing and retreating led everyone in one direction, whether Mrs. Hu's words were unintentional but intentional.
For a while, the ladies looked at Mrs. Hu's expression with some subtle changes, as if she was curious but unspeakable, which made Mrs. Hu angry, and she didn't care about her own identity, she opened her mouth and said: "What kind of thing are you, but you used some carving insect skills to get the emperor's mercy, canonized the county lord, what are you arrogant!"
She was angry, she didn't choose what to say, and she didn't even think about it, she just wanted to be as fast as her tongue and laugh at Ye Hao.
Ye Hao frowned, pretending to be surprised, "Mrs. Hu is questioning the decision of the Holy Lord?" She only had a simple sentence, and she sublimated Mrs. Hu's words into disrespect to the emperor, Mrs. Hu couldn't afford this crime, where did she dare to question the emperor's decision-making, but Ye Hao's words pointed directly at her, and she did tell the truth.
His face turned red, and he screamed a few times, not daring to speak easily, for fear that he would be caught by Ye Hao again, and he would become more and more out of control.
All the ladies looked at Mrs. Hu in surprise, and they all looked at Ye Hao in surprise, it was clear that in front of them was a childish girl, with a gentle and harmless appearance, how could she say every word of her words, and every word was to hit the center of gravity, where is this like a fourteen-year-old girl? It's like a scheming superior, this kind of thought almost shocks them, how can it be?
…………
Just when there was silence, a maid hurriedly ran to Mrs. Ye and said loudly: "Old lady, no, it's not good."
Old Madam Ye was talking happily with Duchess Xia Guo, and was interrupted by someone unexpectedly, and subconsciously scolded: "What are you doing in a panic, you don't look like you!"
The maid was stunned for a moment, and quickly knelt on the ground to salute the old lady, and the old lady was impatient, and waved her hand: "Say, what's the matter?"
The maid hurriedly said: "Old lady Bing, here, there is a person from outside this door, saying that it has something to do with the fourth young lady." The maid's face flushed, and in the end she was a little embarrassed.
Old Madam Ye didn't know what her expression and tone meant, could it be that someone came to the mansion to find fault? But it's just about the girl, what's going on?
