Today will be a lively day, and there will be a basket of guests who are close to each other.

The maiden brother of the county lord of Qingning did not come, but he sent the prince over to eat and drink, which gave him enough face.

There are also several members of the second lady's maiden family, the eldest sister-in-law Chen's maiden family, and the younger brother of the old marquis, who is also the second uncle's family...... All of them were there.

In addition, the family that has a relationship with the Hou Mansion, the man is in the front yard, the woman is in the backyard, and the whole mansion is busy.

In addition to these, there is still a Yangzhou Liu family.

Hearing that the old lady became a great-grandmother, the Liu family came thousands of miles to congratulate, and the nephew took his children into Beijing, and he had to live for half a month.

The old lady is a Yangzhou woman, and after marrying into the Ye family, she went to the capital with the old marquis to pay homage to the prime minister, and never returned to Yangzhou after this trip.

In the year when the old marquis died, the people of the Liu family heard the letter and had not seen him for two or three years.

At that time, it coincided with the white affairs of the Hou Mansion, and the Liu family did not come much, which was different from this time. The old lady's birthday was a happy event, and she received the letter early and looked forward to it every day.

I should have arrived two days earlier, but I don't know what was delayed on the way.

Near noon, the seats in the front and back yards were opened, and the errand boy outside suddenly handed over the news to Mama Liu.

"The Liu family is here!"

Mama Liu accompanied the old lady from Yangzhou and hurriedly ran in to report.

The old lady was over half a hundred years old and couldn't help but be excited to go to the front yard to meet the guests.

The Liu family and his party were in the dust, and they were welcomed in to serve tea and sit down, and after asking, there was really a reason for being late.

Yangzhou is a long way into Beijing, they should have set off as soon as possible, and the time is easy, and they don't want to go to Qingli Peak to recruit mountain bandits to intercept them.

"Qingli Peak is close to the capital, where are the mountain bandits?" Hou Ye's face was full of surprise.

The old lady's heart tugged: "Later, how did you get out?" ”

Liu Lizhong had palpitations: "Our group was all tied up, and then the mountain bandits heard that we were going to Beijing to visit relatives, and they were looking for Chengtaihou, so they were afraid, so they let us go." ”

"Fortunately, the name of Chengtaihou is still somewhat useful, those thieves are afraid, otherwise I wouldn't dare to think about it......" The old lady almost burst into tears.

Seeing this, the juniors hurriedly explained, and now the Liu family and his party are turning evil into good fortune, which is also a good thing.

He also asked about Liu Kasa Zhong's father, who was also going to come, but who knew that he fell off his horse before leaving, and injured his leg bone and was not suitable for traveling.

"When you're old, why bother going horseback riding!" The old lady was worried and angry.

In the blink of an eye, her younger brother's children and grandchildren are so old, and it is rare for the sister and brother to meet, but the great opportunity was missed because of a fall on the horse.

Thinking that they would grow older in the future, and the capital Yangzhou was far away, I was afraid that it would be difficult to meet in this life, so I couldn't help crying twice after all.

"Don't cry, Mrs. Aunt, my nephew is really scared." Yanagi sat still.

The old lady collected her tears under the persuasion of a cadre, and ordered someone to entertain them with good tea and water, but this time they were frightened, and they had to take the wind and wash the dust.

****

After the luncheon, the juggling and the stage were sung, and it didn't take long for the guests to leave one after another.

The Liu family is determined to live in the Hou Mansion, and the Du family also has to stay for a few days.

Du Jue looked for a gap and came to talk to Ye Congwei.

"How is my cousin doing?" He asked with a grin.

Ye Congwei glanced at him and said lightly: "Naturally, it's good." ”

Seeing that she only said this sentence and walked forward without stopping, Du Jue couldn't help but be curious: "What is my cousin going to do?" Don't even have time to say a word? ”

Ye Congwei held some gadgets in his hand and said, "I'm going to see my cousins and cousins." ”

"Those of the Liu family?" Du Jue snorted lightly: "They are distant relatives with you, and we are close relatives." ”

"Hehe," Ye Congwei smiled: "Anyway, you don't have the surname Ye, you are all cousins to me." ”

What's the difference.

She ignored Du Jue and walked away quickly.

For this husband in her previous life, she can't say whether she hates him or not, anyway, she won't reassure him anymore.

Du Jue treated her well, if she hadn't been pregnant in the first year and had not been instigated by her aunt, he might not have taken a concubine.

But as a result, he still took a concubine, and not only that, but also told the concubine about their private life.

What kind of tone and attitude did he use to talk about it?

The daughter of the Hou Mansion made a private agreement with him for life, did it make him feel more face-saving?

At that time, Ye Congwei was forced by the lord of Qingning to marry Prince Yu, who was absurd and cruel and cruel.

At the same time, he was not without affection for Du Jue in his heart, so he listened to his advice and made a private decision to make trouble in front of his parents for life.

This is the most outrageous thing Ye Congwei has ever done, and he has paid the price of his life because of it.

How important a woman's name is, once there is a stain, it is like a cracked egg, and it will kill others if they pinch it lightly.

Otherwise, with the specious dirty water of the concubine's room, how could Ye Congwei be defeated.

There has always been a cause and an effect, and since she married to the Du family without permission, the county lord of Qingning hated her, and of course she would step on it and become a life-urging talisman.

"What's wrong with the girl?" Silan asked softly.

After seeing Young Master Cousin, she had a gloomy face, and she couldn't help but be surprised.

Ye Congwei came back to his senses, shook his head and chuckled: "I'm fine, I don't know if my cousin likes these gadgets or not." ”

The cousin of the Liu family is thirteen years old this year, and the two cousins are only eight or nine years old, which is about the same age as her seventh brother.

Si Lan covered his mouth and smiled: "Although I have never seen it, but I am young, it is easy to play together." ”

was right by her, Ye Congwei and the two entered the Changsleeve Courtyard, and they had already played inside.

Eight-year-old Ye Shuo ran fast, like a foal.

He and the Liu brothers had a crazy meal in the yard, and when he was thirsty, he went into the house to drink tea, and he raised his head for two or three cups.

"Brother Shuo, drink water slowly! What if you can't get angry and burp......

The fourth girl, Ye Congfei, is his own sister, and she is ordered by the second lady to take care of her younger brother wherever she goes.

"I don't have hiccups." Ye Shuo pursed his lips, raised his eyes and laughed again: "Fifth sister is here!" What did you bring? ”

He threw down the cup and ran over to look at it, and unceremoniously took the tray: "It must be for me, right?" ”

Although Ye Shuo is in the second room, he has both a sister and a sister, but for some reason, he is always close to Ye Congwei.

"It's not just for you," Ye Congwei tapped his head, "I want to share it with my cousins." ”

"I've played all of this...... Ye Shuo lowered his head and picked and chosen, but still thanked him seriously: "Thank you, Fifth Sister." ”

Ye Congwei asked him not to be picky, mainly to play with the Liu brothers.

"The fifth sister has a heart." Ye Congfei tugged at the corners of her mouth.

She doesn't like her brother to be close to Ye Congwei, but the hint is useless, and her sisters can't say it clearly, so she only blames Ye Congwei for coaxing the child.

Ye Congwei smiled and said nothing, looking at the girl sitting on the side, young and gentle.

"The cousin of the Liu family is delicate and delicate, can the carriages and horses on the road stand it?"

"Thanks to my cousin's concern, I can actually ride a horse." Liu Mingke's expression was serious, not joking.

"Really?" Ye Congwei was a little surprised.

Looking at her petite size, I thought the carriage would fall apart.

Although the Liu family is a petty official, it is also a famous family in Yangzhou City, and the upbringing in the family can be seen.

Ye Shuo played for a while, squeezed over to talk to his sisters, and became curious as he spoke, and asked about the mountain bandits.

"Qingli Peak is far away, do the mountain bandits kill people without blinking?"

Ye Congfei waved his hand: "Don't talk about this." ”

The grandmother said that the Liu family was frightened and wanted to have fun with them, divert their attention, and talk about the mountain bandits.

"Although they were armed with knives, they didn't kill anyone," Liu Mingke was not afraid, "Maybe they are righteous bandits, and when they heard that we were looking for relatives, they let them go." ”

"Bandits are robbers, where did the righteous bandits come from, they are obviously afraid of the prestige of Chengtaihou." The brothers Liu Zhen and Liu Yuan disagreed.

Green Carp Peak...... Ye Congwei frowned slightly, and always felt that this place name was a little familiar.

Thinking about it, her heart sank.

Today, the saint is not rich in heirs, only two princes and a few princesses, and the princes have been competing for the position of prince for several years, but unexpectedly, the snipe and the clam are competing for the fisherman's profit.

No one expected that Prince Yu, who did not have the qualifications to seize the throne, turned over once, and the seemingly ridiculous prince could have this strength, relying on the strange army of Qingli Peak.

Most of them were his private soldiers...... Secrecy is the mainstay, of course, I don't want to make a big fuss with the officials.

Ye Congwei was vigilant in his heart, and when he heard Liu Zhen say that he wanted to report to the official, his eyelids jumped.

This immortal fight mortals suffered, the plot of Prince Yu's mansion, how could they be shaken by the small marquis mansion, don't disturb other people's plans, it was destroyed first.

Those who have achieved great things, which one is not scheming, Ye Congwei does not believe that Prince Yu only has the bargaining chip of Qingli Peak, and it is not very simple to move the Hou Mansion.

"Don't talk nonsense about reporting to the official," Liu Mingke pursed the corners of her mouth and taught her younger brother: "Our family is here enough to disturb us, what do you want your cousin to do and make a fool of yourself." ”

Although the Marquis of Chengtai has a title, there is no one in the cabinet of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and the two generations have not been tested for any fame.

Even when the competition between the two princes for the position of prince was fiercest, it had little to do with the Ye family, because they didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the team, and they were purely melon-eating people.

"Well, I'm talking nonsense." Liu Zhen scratched his cheeks, he just talked about it, and didn't think about it much.

Ye Congwei chuckled and said: "Since the mountain bandits are in Qingli Peak, there will definitely be caravans coming and going, and the government may not know about it, and there is no need for my father to go out of his way to invite anything." ”

Don't mess with them, you can't afford to mess with them.

Liu Mingke nodded and agreed: "That's the reason, not to mention that they don't look like bad people, and even their property has been returned." ”

"Sister, don't be a righteous bandit, I've seen too much, and I always excuse the thief." Liu Yuan's face was full of unhappiness, their family was tied up by five flowers, okay!

He and Liu Zhen are men, they are not afraid of anything, Liu Mingke is thirteen years old, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be ruined.

There are many false rumors in this world, and I know that you were intercepted by mountain bandits and had a false alarm, and I don't know how to arrange it when you think you were taken back to the village......
