"Who have I excused?" Liu Mingke's face turned red and said, "Since I can't say that I can't go together, this matter will end here." ”

"So far it's the best," Ye Congfei looked at their sister and brother back and forth, and persuaded in a low voice: "It's just an irrelevant person, it's not worth arguing about this." ”

Liu Zhen waved his hand helplessly: "Cousin, don't worry, they talk back to the norm, but let you see the joke." ”

Ye Congwei couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, she thought that Liu Mingke was a gentle person, but in fact, she was different from the outside, she looked like a straight intestine, and her temper was probably quite stubborn.

In her previous life, Ziye Congwei didn't come to Chang Sleeve Courtyard, and she was cut off by Du Jue halfway, and she missed the conversation with Liu Mingke, and she didn't know what her temperament was.

In this life, those who are determined to stay away from Du Jue will certainly not go with him, nor will they touch the gifts he gave.

That night, the Hou Mansion entertained the Liu family and the Du family to have a lively meal, different from noon, they are all their own family, there is no need to pay attention to so much false etiquette, everyone is more relaxed.

After the meal, they laughed for a while, and then went back to the courtyard to rest.

Ye Congwei sent the county lord of Qingning and Ye Congzhi to leave, and then left to go back.

The county lord of Qingning is cold to her, she doesn't need to go to ask for peace every day, and there is no need to send her off after the family banquet is dispersed, which is convenient for both parties.

In the courtyard of Yuzhou, Si Mei heard the movement and poked her head out: "It's actually this hour, does the girl still want to bathe?" ”

"Yes, I have to accompany the Liu family sisters and brothers to play tomorrow." Ye Congwei nodded.

Today, the old lady was happy, and she was delayed a lot after eating, and she was usually lying on the low couch reading at this time.

Si Mei got up and went to prepare water, and said with a smile: "I have already warmed the water just now, and I can heat it up a little." ”

Ye Congwei entered the inner room, turned back to Si Lan and said, "You go down to rest, you've been following for a day." ”

Si Lan didn't refuse, stretched his waist and said: "The Liu family is all good at riding horses, don't make a fuss about going to the horse farm tomorrow......"

In the afternoon, Ye Shuo and the Liu brothers have been playing horse games, and they are really uncertain.

"I'm not the only one who can't ride a horse, and the second and fourth sisters can't either, what are you afraid of." Ye Congwei sat in front of the dresser and began to remove her makeup and hair.

What she knew was that tomorrow they did not go to the horse farm, but rowed a boat, and happened to meet Prince Yu's painting boat, and they were having fun in broad daylight......

Silan retreated, Ye Congwei supported his head with both hands, and half-closed his eyes.

Du Jue and Prince Yu, no one can marry, she must plan a retreat as soon as possible.

****

Early the next morning, Ye Congwei packed up and went to the old lady's courtyard to say goodbye.

Breakfast was still set up in the old lady's courtyard, and Ye Min'e's mother and son were lively with the Liu family.

After eating, it was a gift receiving link, and the Liu family brought gifts to several girls in the Hou Mansion.

The county lord of Qingning didn't want them to break the bank, so he shirked it several times, and finally the old lady opened her mouth before agreeing to accept it.

The Liu family is mainly a businessman in Yangzhou, and their family is rich, and most of the jewelry and jade they brought this time are bright, which makes Ye Min'e's eyes shine.

"Amitabha, those mountain bandits don't even see money?" The second lady sighed incredible.

Liu Lizhong laughed and said, "Qingli Peak is close to the feet of the Son of Heaven, they must not dare to be too presumptuous. ”

"That's the best."

This topic was quickly revealed, and the juniors happily shared gifts.

Gentlemen wear jade, and what is prepared for the sons is jade pendants carved with different patterns, either white or green, and the luster is shiny.

A few girls are bead-ringed hairpins, nothing more than gold, silver, jade, pearls and other decorations, which are both beautiful and solemn.

The seven siblings were selected in order of eldest and youngest, and then carefully thanked the cousin of the Liu family.

Ye Congwei picked a chalcedony, transparent and colorless, clear as ice, she liked it very much.

It just so happened that she was wearing azure clothes today, and this thing complemented each other perfectly.

When my cousin Li saw it, she smiled and said, "The little girl is too elegant, so it's better to add another hairpin." ”

She took out a silver hairpin in her hand, and the top was inlaid with a red and bright fire bead, and raised her hand to insert it for Ye Congwei.

The red fire beads are not big or small, dotted in the black hair, not too bright, and add a touch of color.

Ye Congwei was stunned, and hurriedly said: "I have already received the chalcedony, how can I still ask for my cousin's hairpin......

Ye Congwei wanted to take it down, but was blocked by the Li family, "Why can't you?" How good it looks to wear, it's yours. ”

Liu Mingke also said: "My mother's vision is unique, and the fifth cousin should not refuse." ”

"It's just a hairpin, something." Li smiled lightly and patted the back of Ye Congwei's hand.

Her kind and kind eyes, with a faint hint of pity, made Ye Congwei speechless.

Dudao She hung under the name of the county lord of Qingning, and got the name of a concubine, which is the creation of this life.

But who would have thought that the four girls in the Hou Mansion would not have any motherly pain, and no one would plan anything for her.

In the previous life, Qingning County mainly used her to replace Ye Congzhi, Ye Congwei couldn't find anyone to consult, and the only thing he could think of was his cousin Du Jue, who admired him.

Whether Li sympathizes with her or likes her, it is always kind.

Ye Congwei returned the salute to her with a smile: "Then I will be cheeky enough to thank my cousin." ”

****

In the afternoon, the old lady said that it was rare for the Liu family to go to Beijing, so that the juniors could go out to play and see the scenery of the capital.

It is impossible for a family like them to enter the city, and Ye Congwei and their eldest brother and third brother have all done their homework, and the autumn season is about to begin.

Only the youngest old Qiye Shuo played with his sisters, and no one took care of the girls.

After thinking about it, the county lord of Qingning arranged a boat on the lake.

On the boat, the maid of the Hou Mansion should take care of it, and when she goes to the water, she is not afraid that the juniors will be naughty and run away.

There is also a water lantern tower in Diancui Lake, which is extremely dazzling at night, and the old lady allows them to see the lantern tower and come back.

Although you can't go on the street, it's still exciting for the ladies who are difficult to go out of the house to play.

Out of the Hou Mansion, the three carriages went straight to Diancui Lake.

Passing by the street, Liu Mingke quietly lifted a little curtain to peek, "Sure enough, it is a prosperous place, which is beyond the reach of Yangzhou." ”

The capital is full of powerful people, cars and horses are like clouds, there are many expensive carriages on the street, pedestrians are commonplace, don't take a look.

"Is there anything in Yangzhou that the capital doesn't have?" The sixth girl, Ye Conghui, asked curiously.

Liu Mingke shook her head: "Even if there is, I don't know." ”

Seeing that her expression seemed to be regretful, Ye Congwei smiled and said: "My cousin has seen many scenery along the way, and he is much better than us. ”

"What's so strong about seeing too much scenery, do you want to do it on my behalf?" Ye Congfei choked her without being salty.

Ye Congwei lowered her eyes: "The fourth sister is not rare to see the scenery, but I didn't say it." ”

The carriage soon arrived at Diancui Lake, and the group got on the boat.

The upper and lower floors of the ancient painting boat, away from the shore slowly, this kind of boat is slow, but it is stable and does not shake, even seasick people can stand it.

Melon and fruit snacks were put on the table, and a grandmother came to ask Ye Congzhi with a menu card to ask Ye Congzhi how to arrange dinner.

The Hou Mansion is the head of Qingning County, and she often takes Ye Congzhi to watch, but this time she is just the master of entertaining a group of small guests, so it is naturally not a problem.

The fish in Diancui Lake are quite famous, the water here is about warmer, it does not freeze in the middle of winter, and it is fresh.

This season is lukewarm, but it is also suitable for a fish feast.

Considering that Ye Shuo and the Liu family brothers are young, they specially choose fresh and tender ones with few thorns to come to cook.

Ye Congzhi asked her grandmother to arrange it, and Ye Congfei couldn't help complimenting: "The second sister is worthy of being the eldest daughter, and she has the demeanor of an aunt." ”

She focused on the eldest daughter and glanced at Ye Congwei.

Ye Congfei is a second-room concubine, and she thinks that she is the same as Ye Congzhi, unlike the sister born to the two aunts.

As everyone knows, Ye Congzhi agrees with her in her heart, and said lightly: "It's just a meal, there's nothing to say." ”

"For the second sister, it is true." Ye Congfei covered her mouth and smiled.

Ye Congwei sat aside and listened, and did not speak, but did not notice Ye Congfei's gaze.

It is nothing more than the jealousy of the little girl, who has been raised under the name of the county lord of Qingning since she was a child, although her mother does not want to see her, but there is never a shortage of food and clothing.

Of course, Ye Congwei's specifications are not as good as Ye Congzhi's, but they are almost the same as Ye Congfei, which makes the second-room concubine extremely uneven.

Look at Ye Conghui, there are only a few sets of clothes and jewelry that are worn around, this is what a concubine should look like, why is she Ye Congwei? Today, I also got an extra silver hairpin with fire beads from my cousin.

Ye Congfei is not shallow-eyed, his eyes are red and a hairpin, and he is jealous of this specialness.

"Look, whose pleasure boat is that, it's even more beautiful than ours......" Ye Shuo suddenly shouted.

When the Liu brothers heard this, they hurriedly jumped to the railing to watch.

In the distance, a painting boat came up, two floors above and below, but much larger than theirs.

And the decoration was extremely extravagant, and the light gauze drape glittered in the sun, and most of them were embroidered with gold and silver thread.

Here it comes...... Ye Congwei watched as the ship gradually approached.

The one who has seen the most here is Du Jue, and he quickly recognized it: "It's Prince Yu's ship, let's avoid him, right?" ”

Ye Congzhi was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Just listen to my cousin." ”

I wanted to avoid it, but it was a little too late, although the river was large, but the two boats were quite close and staggered.

The painting boat is to watch the cruise ship, walking slowly, and when facing each other, there is a laughing and questioning voice of the son, asking whose junior it is.

Ye Congzhi pursed her lips and was silent, and Du Jue replied.

Coincidentally, the prince of Qi Yu was also on the opposite boat, King Xunjun is the brother of the lord of Qingning, he is Ye Congzhi's cousin, and he went to the Hou Mansion to eat and drink yesterday.

With him, of course those boys will give face, and they won't disturb the girls on this boat.

Ye Congwei's eyes were sharp, and he saw Prince Yu who was drinking and having fun.

He opened his shirt slightly, revealing a little texture, not the kind of whiteness that ordinary scholars see.

Sitting casually, with a thin beauty holding a pipa in hand, in broad daylight, terrifying is a profligate wreckage.

Prince Yu was handsome and unwavering, and others looked at him and only sighed.

Ye Congwei's eyes turned lightly to look at her, not wanting the person opposite to seem to be aware of it, and raised his eyes to look at her.

Her heart jumped, and she suddenly didn't dare to look at it again, pretending to look away naturally.

This lord who will be an emperor in the future is by no means as harmless as it seems, Ye Congwei is afraid that if he stays for a second time, he will reveal the secret in his heart.
