Ye Lingtian won the second place on the list, if it weren't for the fact that General Ye had just passed away and didn't celebrate well, Ye Lin estimated that he would buy back the fireworks and firecrackers in the entire Kyoto City and let him go for three days and three nights.

Wang Xiaoniang's mistreatment of Aunt Zhao and Ye Haotian ended with the news that Ye Lingtian was on the list. On the contrary, because her own son has achieved such a glorious achievement, Wang Xiaoniang's status in the house has been raised a lot.

"Girl, you said it was just a little bit, why did the second son hit the list at this time?" Huixiang muttered while taking care of the osmanthus flowers she had just picked in.

Ye Lanqiao glanced at Hui Xiang: "It's a good thing that the second brother is on the list, and no one in the Ye family has ever been admitted to such a high reputation."

"The second son is naturally on the list, but girl, you don't know, that Wang Xiaoniang has become more and more rampant in recent days, and she has to punish a few maids and wives every day, and now the people in the house are afraid of her."

"Expected." Ye Lanqiao sighed, raised his hand and gently put away the osmanthus petals on the table, wrapped them in a handkerchief and put them aside.

If she didn't guess wrong, it wouldn't be long before Wang Xiaoniang would be able to sit in the position of the eldest lady of the General's Mansion by virtue of her mother's price.

Once this happens, then her life with her grandmother will be sad.

"Girl? Girl? ”

Seeing Ye Lanqiao looking straight at the ground, Huixiang couldn't help but raise her hand and shake it in front of Ye Lanqiao.

"What?" Ye Lanqiao raised his head and covered up the confusion in his eyes.

"Yueluo said, the old lady asked the girl to go over."

"Hmm." Ye Lanqiao got up, thinking that the osmanthus flowers he had collected had not been sorted out, so Ye Lanqiao asked Huixiang to stay, and only took Yueluo over.

When she was about to arrive at Wanshoutang, Ye Lanqiao heard a sound behind the rockery in the southeast corner, she was stunned for a moment, and then signaled Yueluo not to make a sound, and the master and servant gently spared the back of the rockery.

“…… Lord Wang, this Ye Ling Tianxiao has been in contact, that is a master who says nothing, and now he is the leader of the Holy Lord, and the future is immeasurable! If he hastily told him this, would he sell us backhandedly? ”

Ye Lanqiao held his breath, strange, he had never heard this voice before, Wanshoutang was in the easternmost part of Ye Mansion, and there were few people coming and going on weekdays, why were there still people hiding here and whispering?

Yueluo saw the seriousness and vigilance on her girl's face, she was originally timid, but she didn't even dare to take a breath at this time.

"What about the list? In the end, don't you still have to crawl around in this officialdom? He is a reader, not a nerd, how can he be so ignorant of current affairs? Besides, what this king did wasn't hurtful, wasn't it just reselling some drugs in some wineries? Is there anything wrong with making money? ”

Then, a sleek and treacherous voice sounded, and after Ye Lanqiao heard it, the nerves in his body immediately became highly tense.

What the? Listening to the meaning of this person's words, did he encounter the mastermind of selling drugs?

A few months ago, Ye Lanqiao heard the little guy in the house talk about this, and I don't know when a batch of crooked pills poured into Kyoto City, I heard that people who eat it will be as happy as entering the Heavenly Palace, but as soon as the strength of the medicine passes, the whole person will be weak, and there have been cases of death.

At that time, the corners of Ye Lanqiao's mouth twitched when she heard it, isn't this girl selling illegal drugs?

"What the prince did is naturally correct, but the little one thinks that this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, no matter how powerful Ye Lingtian is, he is just a newcomer who has just entered the officialdom, and the little one thinks that he should wait a little longer, so that he can touch his bottom."

"Then you can look at it, but this matter must also be hurried, Chu Feiye's kid is afraid that he has already targeted the few people under this king, and this king has to pick himself up before Chu Feiye finds it out!"

"Yes, yes, don't worry, don't worry, this matter is small, and you must hurry up and do it."

Then, with a small cracking sound, the rockery was quiet again.

Ye Lanqiao leaned against the rockery, holding his chest and taking deep breaths, such a big thing, how could he accidentally let himself hear it.

"Girl...... The one who spoke just now wasn't King Qi? Yueluo's little face turned pale with fright, she had also heard about the secret sale of pills in Kyoto City, but she didn't expect that the manipulator behind it was King Qi.

King Qi is the elder brother of the current emperor and the son of the queen mother, and he is quite powerful in the court. How can such a powerful and rich person still do such a hurtful deed?

"Yueluo, you can't say a word of what you heard just now, understand?"

Ye Lanqiao knew that this matter was not trivial, if he let King Qi know that the two of them heard those words, I am afraid that his life would be explained.

"Hmm...... Girl, I know, I won't say anything if I kill me. Yueluo nodded hurriedly and swore a promise.

Ye Lanqiao calmed down her heartbeat, and took Yueluo and walked towards Wanshoutang, she still had to think about this matter of King Qi in the long run.

When she arrived at Wanshoutang, Mrs. Ye was sitting in the courtyard in the sun accompanied by Mother Shen, and when she saw Ye Lanqiao coming, Mrs. Ye's expression was much looser, and she raised her hand to let Ye Lanqiao go over and sit down.

"Mother Shen, go and give Lan'er a bowl of brown sugar lotus seed soup stewed in the kitchen, look at this child's face, it's too bad."

"The fifth girl was sick a while ago, so it's good to take care of it carefully."

Shen's mother said as she walked into the small kitchen, and then walked out with a bowl.

"Grandmother, how are you feeling better?" Ye Lanqiao tucked the blanket on Old Madam Ye's lap again and asked.

"It's better, you still remember me, what about you? Have you eaten well lately? "Since General Ye died, Mrs. Ye's aging speed seems to have become faster, and in just a few months, Mrs. Ye's hair has become much paler.

"Yes, grandmother, don't worry, Huixiang and Yueluo take good care of me." Ye Lanqiao hooked the corners of his mouth and pretended to comfort easily.

Old Madam Ye nodded, urging Ye Lanqiao to drink the brown sugar lotus seed soup quickly, her eyes were full of love: "I called you over today to tell you something."

"Grandmother, please." Ye Lanqiao took a small sip of the lotus seed soup and replied.

"You also know that before the death of Emperor Taizong, in order to avoid delaying state affairs because of the mourning of his subjects, he deliberately ordered that after his death, the whole country was not allowed to mourn, that is, since that time, our dynasty has no rules for mourning, and only needs to worship in the ancestral hall."

Ye Lanqiao nodded, when Emperor Taizu died, Ye Lanqiao hadn't come over yet, but he had heard his grandfather say that Emperor Taizu was a good emperor who worked hard, to put it bluntly, he was a workaholic who paid attention to efficiency, and he was a bold reformer.

"So, grandmother has been thinking about it these days, you see that there is still more than a year to reach the age of Jilu, although it is not suitable to mention marriage now, but ......" Old Madam Ye said this, and sighed heavily:

"But now the situation is special, your second brother is angry, and he has given the Ye family's ancestors and ancestors a long face, but at the same time, it has also fueled Wang Xiaoniang's power, although I am old, but my brain is not confused, your father will have to straighten that woman sooner or later." I have long seen clearly with your grandfather what kind of person Wang Xiaoniang is like over the years, if she is the lady in charge, I am afraid she will not treat you well. ”

"Grandmother, granddaughter is not afraid." Ye Lanqiao raised his head and said with a firm gaze. She knew that Wang Xiaoniang would not treat herself well in the future, but she was not a dough to be kneaded by others, no matter how much she said that the major events in the family were still up to Ye Lin and Ye Lingtian, could Wang Xiaoniang still eat herself?

"That's what I said, but you are a girl's family, you can't waste all your thoughts on defending people, grandmother thought, first set up the family affairs with the Qiao family, and wait for the courtesy on the surface, there must be the Qiao family covering, Wang Xiaoniang didn't dare to do anything."

Ye Lanqiao paused, slowly put the bowl on the stone table, as soon as he heard that he was going to marry into Qiao's family, Ye Lanqiao's heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and the porridge in the bowl was not so sweet.

"I just listen to my grandmother." Ye Lanqiao sighed silently and spoke.

"Grandmother knows that she is a little wronged by you, originally when your grandfather was still there, he said that he was going to ask for a holy decree, but who knows......" Old Madam Ye said this, and couldn't help but feel sad.

"Grandmother, don't be sad, the deceased is gone, and we living people still have to live." Ye Lanqiao saw that Old Madam Ye was sad because of her grandfather's affairs again, and hurriedly relieved.

"Yes, you're right, our grandparents and grandchildren will continue to live." Old Madam Ye raised her handkerchief to wipe her tears, and spoke.

"Mother Shen, you said that Yu Fei's child would come over today, right?" Old Madam Ye raised her head and asked.

"Yes, although the second son's affairs are not suitable for big deals, at least the banquet is still set up for a few tables, just in the front hall, and Qiao Gongzi will come over today."

"When the banquet in front of you is over, you go over and call Yu Fei over, and say that I have something to discuss with him."

said that he was going to turn his head to look at Ye Lanqiao: "Grandmother can see that Yu Fei's child is very attentive to you over the years, I will tell him in advance first, I think he will be very happy."

"Hmm." Ye Lanqiao nodded, but his mood fell all the way to the bottom.

After returning to his yard, Ye Lanqiao saw Huixiang sitting on the edge of the flower bed in the courtyard, holding a branch in her hand, constantly whipping the osmanthus tree, and taking the osmanthus tree on the side to discourage.

"Huixiang, why are you so angry?" Ye Lanqiao walked around to Huixiang and asked.

"Girl, why are you—why are you back?" Huixiang saw Ye Lanqiao who suddenly appeared in front of her, and was so frightened that she hurriedly stood up.

"Where can I go if I don't come back?" Ye Lanqiao frowned: "What's the matter, what are you?"

"Girl, I ...... just now" Huixiang, who has always been sharp-toothed, also became distracted at this time, and it wasn't until Ye Lanqiao's eyes forced her to ask, she didn't speak hard: "When I went to get the laundry just now, I saw Qiao Gongzi and the fourth girl pulling and pulling, and the two of them could be close together!"
