Chapter 36 Although the beauty is good, the land is better
"That eldest sister has to take medicine raw, if there are marks on her face, she won't be able to keep her reputation as the number one beauty in Bacheng~" Zhong Lingting couldn't help but sneer.
Chen gently squeezed her arm.
Before coming, Zhong Lingyu repeatedly told not to provoke contradictions. If you really want to make trouble, you can't cover this matter in the second room. Only by letting things pass quietly and letting Zhong Lingyu accept Mrs. Liu's apology, others will not say anything, just treat it as an accident.
But since the handle took the initiative to hand it over, how could Zhong Lingyu spare this cousin so easily? She stared at Zhong Lingyu and said with a smile: "If it weren't for my sister's sarcastic remarks last night to provoke me to eat fish, how would I be like this?" Sister, you'd better bless me with no scars on my face, otherwise, ......" Her gaze circled around Zhong Lingting's face, staring at Zhong Lingting's hairy bones.
Zhong Lingting shivered, and subconsciously retorted: "If you don't want to eat it, will I still stuff the fish into your mouth?" You are greedy, who is to blame for this? Even my cousin and aunt are not wrong at all. She bought the fish to honor her grandmother, not for you to eat, what are you doing with so much food? I deserve a rash! ”
Chen secretly screamed badly, but in his heart he praised his daughter's words, but it was really my own!
Isn't it? Zhong Lingyu's red rash was caused by her own greed, and she took the blame for herself, and it had nothing to do with them. These words spread out, see who still splashes dirty water on their second room? I'm really worried too much.
"Oh? Is it really none of your business? Zhong Lingyu's gaze turned around on the faces of several people, and the corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a mocking smile. The smile appeared on her face full of rashes, how terrifying it looked.
Mrs. Liu's heart was already weak, and when she saw this smile, she couldn't help but take half a step back, and she didn't come back to her senses until Chen's palm was against the back of her hand.
Zhong Lingting is much stronger than her, although her heart jumps violently, her face is not obvious, and she said lightly: "It has nothing to do with us." ”
"I wrote it down~" Zhong Lingyu nodded, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
"Our young lady is tired, please go back a few ladies." Seeing this, Granny Lu began to drive people away.
Kong's dissatisfaction with the second room has reached the extreme, she is afraid that she can't help but speak ill of her, and said at the moment: "Yu'er, you rest, I will come to see you tomorrow." As he spoke, he didn't wait for Mrs. Liu and Chen's mother and daughter, they turned around and left first.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly said a scene: "Yes, you are so resting, what do you want to eat and play, just tell your cousin, your cousin will definitely get it for you." He gave Chen's mother and daughter a look and got up to leave.
"Phew, a bunch of dog stuff that's not human." Granny Lu spat lightly at the backs of the three of them.
Zhong Lingyu "poof" Granny Lu couldn't help but laugh when she saw that her young lady was in a good mood.
At this time, in the Ye Mansion, Mrs. Ye was walking around the house irritably. Ye Xiaoqing has not returned home for two days, but lives in the Ye family's house on the outskirts of the city.
Mrs. Ye regards Ye Xiaoqing as a son, and treats him like a baby, so she naturally keeps track of his whereabouts all the time. Recently, her son took a fancy to a country woman, got her into the city, and raised her in the Yefu Courtyard, and she knew everything about it. On weekdays, she would not dismiss her son, she was convinced that her son was measured in everything and would not make any trouble.
But at this moment, she was deeply annoyed with Ye Xiaoqing and blamed him for not returning home.
Seeing the housekeeper enter the courtyard from a distance through the window, she hurriedly walked out of the house and asked, "Have you found the young master?" ”
"I found it, the little one has told the young master what Madame said, and the young master said that he will come back later." Butler Road.
Before the housekeeper's words fell, a little maid ran in and said to Mrs. Ye with a happy face: "Madam, the young master is back." ”
Mrs. Ye was overjoyed and cast her eyes on the gate of the courtyard.
Sure enough, after a while, Ye Xiaoqing's figure appeared there. Ye Xiaoqing stood tall and straight, his face was like a crown of jade, and his steps into the courtyard were not hurried, and he was very chic and free. Mrs. Ye's eyes softened suddenly, a loving smile appeared on her face, she took a few steps, and said to Ye Xiaoqing angrily: "If I don't send someone to call you, you are reluctant to come back." It seems that my mother is not as good as a country woman in your mind. ”
Ye Xiaoqing quickened her pace, stepped forward to help Ye's arm, and said with a smile: "Mother, what did you say?" In this world, the mother will always be the first in the son's mind, no, as soon as the mother called, I didn't have time to eat breakfast, so I hurried back. He touched his stomach again, "What is there to eat?" I'm hungry. ”
Mrs. Ye was suddenly distressed, and called the maid repeatedly: "Hurry up to the kitchen and ask them to make the young master's favorite swallow dumplings." Seeing the maid running out, he told again, "Look at what snacks are in the kitchen, and bring them to the young master to pad his stomach first." ”
At this time, the maid in the room had already put a few snacks prepared for Mrs. Ye on the table.
"Here, take two bites first." Mrs. Ye lovingly handed her son a piece of mung bean cake.
Tossing all night last night, and still sleeping in the morning, I heard my mother's call and had to get up, Ye Xiaoqing was hungry. He took three bites of mung bean cake and ate it, and stretched out his hand to the plate again.
"Slow down, don't choke." Ye Xiaoqing put the tea in his son's hand so that he could drink it conveniently.
The Ye family is scarce, and there are only two masters in a mansion, Mrs. Ye and Ye Xiaoqing. The kitchen was ready as early as when Mrs. Ye sent someone to summon Ye Xiaoqing. At this time, as soon as I saw the maid coming to urge, I put the dumplings in the pot, and after a while, I put them in the food box with a few other snacks and side dishes and sent them over.
Ye Xiaoqing was really hungry, and she ate some of everything, so she put down her chopsticks, picked up the tea bowl and drank a few sips, waved her hand to let the maid remove the breakfast, and then raised her eyes and asked, "Mother asked me to come back, what happened?" ”
"It's not for you." Mrs. Ye gave him a blank look, told him about meeting Zhong Lingyu that day, and said angrily, "This kind of person can't marry into the door, if there is such a person as her in the family, I have to be angry with her." Looking for you to come back is to tell you, this family business, I have to return it. ”
Ye Xiaoqing's brows furrowed: "Isn't this okay?" Master Zhong has just passed away, so let's quit ......"
"What's so bad? Our family has three generations of single inheritance, and she has to keep her filial piety for three years. Three years, son, how old will you be by then? If you're the same age, you'll have a son who can run and jump. I also thought about the reason for withdrawing from the family, so I said that she didn't agree that you should have a concubine first, which delayed our Li family's branches. Anyway, everyone in the city knows about our family's situation, so they won't say anything. ”
Ye Xiaoqing shook his head, frowned and didn't speak.
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's mother, how can Ye not know why his son does not agree to withdraw from his family? Immediately glared at him and said, "Don't you have a little beauty, and you are reluctant to make Zhong Lingyu it?" As long as you agree to quit your family, I will immediately take your country beauty back to the house and give her a name. ”
"Can that be the same? A wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine! Although the beauty is good, there is no eighty acres of tea plantations to marry. Ye Xiaoqing said.
Because she was originally scheduled to marry Zhong Lingyu when she turned sixteen, Zhong Deping helped her prepare a dowry when she was alive. In addition to all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, precious medicinal materials and utensils, it also married the tea plantation on the 80 acres of pineapple mountain. For this matter, Aunt Du didn't know how many sour things she said, but Zhong Deping was extremely fond of her daughter, Zhuang and Zhong Lingming had no opinion, Aunt Du only dared to chirp crookedly behind her back, and didn't dare to say it in front of Zhong Deping.
The Ye family is very pleased that his son can take care of his business and not lose his mind because of a woman's beauty and do things that are detrimental to the interests of the family. However, no matter how she is, she can't let her son marry Zhong Lingyu into the door.
