Chapter 17 Winter has arrived
When he passed by here just now, he happened to see Ye Lanqiao collecting osmanthus flowers on the tree, looking at the woman sitting under the pavilion in the colorful flowers, Chu Feiye forgot what he wanted to do for a while, and stood in place.
Thinking that he hadn't had a chance to say a few words when he met before, Chu Feiye was about to go out to say hello after taking a few deep breaths, but when he saw Qiao Yufei walking over from a distance, he had to hold back and pause.
"Huixiang, let's go." Ye Lanqiao secretly glared at Chu Feiye, pulled Huixiang and turned to leave.
"Fifth girl, please stay." Chu Feiye reacted at this time, Ye Lanqiao was a little angry, and hurriedly spoke.
"What else is the matter with Young Master Chu?" Ye Lanqiao took a deep breath, turned around, and asked calmly.
"Qiao Yufei is not a person worthy of lifelong trust, congratulations to the fifth girl, and jumped out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible." Chu Feiye took a step forward, stared at Ye Lanqiao tightly, and said extremely seriously.
Ye Lanqiao's old face turned red, ahhh
"Thank you Master Chu for your comfort and farewell." Ye Lanqiao hurriedly dropped a sentence, pulled Huixiang and disappeared into the osmanthus forest.
Chu Feiye, who was behind him, opened his mouth and swallowed the unspoken words back into his stomach. He looked at Ye Lanqiao's rapidly disappearing back, and the corners of his mouth hooked.
It's pretty fast.
At the end of the year in a blink of an eye, everyone in the Ye Mansion knew about Qiao Yufei and Ye Ruqiao's family affairs, although they all had a basket of doubts in their hearts, but Ye Lin and Wang Xiaoniang ...... Oh no, Mrs. Wang's attitude was already there, and everyone didn't dare to say anything more.
"Mother Shen, why hasn't my grandmother been in good shape these days?"
Ye Lanqiao put the empty medicine bowl in the end plate in the maid's hand, covered the quilt for Mrs. Ye, took Shen's mother's hand, and asked in a low voice.
Old Madam Ye's rapid coughing sound came out of the room again, and Ye Lanqiao heard it, and the sorrow between her eyebrows became even heavier.
Mother Shen raised her sleeve and wiped the corners of her eyes, and replied: "The girl also knows, the old lady's body has always been bad, and the old general was in a better mood when he was alive, but now that the old general is gone, the old lady's heart has collapsed for a large part, how can this body be good?"
Ye Lanqiao handed Shen's mother a handkerchief, her heart ached, she knew since she was a child that her grandfather and grandmother were in love, even if they had been together for decades, their eyes were full of deep affection and brightness.
"I can't go on like this, my grandmother can't stand it." Ye Lanqiao thought for a while and spoke: "Mother Shen, I'll go to Madame to ask for my father's waist card, and go into the palace to invite the imperial doctor over to see my grandmother."
Ye Lin was sent to inspect the field last month, Ye Lingtian, as a new official, as soon as he took office, he was favored by Lord Yushi, and took him to the north to inspect a nomadic tribe there.
For a while, the two men in Ye Mansion left Kyoto City, and Ye Lin deliberately left his waist card to Wang Xiaoniang before leaving, just in case.
"Wait a minute, the old slave and the girl want to go together, and she will ask Mrs. for a few times, but every time Mrs. she either finds a reason to deal with the old slave, or just says that there are many things and leaves the old slave there." When Shen's mother said this, she couldn't help but reddened her eyes: "Old lady, she is still the eldest person in the family, how can she be so lazy?"
Ye Lanqiao lowered his eyes, since Ye Lin straightened Wang Xiaoniang, I don't know what kind of drug Wang Xiaoniang gave Ye Lin, Ye Lin, who has always been filial, has come to Wanshoutang less often, and now that Ye Lin is not at home, Wang Xiaoniang has never been here once.
Ye Lanqiao raised his head and looked at the gray sky outside, and muttered, "Winter is coming."
"What did the girl say?" Mother Shen didn't hear what Ye Lanqiao was saying, so she opened her mouth to ask.
"It's nothing, Mother Shen, you take good care of your grandmother, I'll go back as soon as I go."
In the Lanwu courtyard, Wang Xiaoniang put a hand stove with enough silver bone charcoal in her arms, sat on a thick blanket full of goose feathers made of brocade, and smiled at the goose feather snow outside the window, concentrating on trimming the red plum in front of her.
"Madam, the fifth girl is here."
Ma Pozi came in from outside, shook the snowflakes on her body, and spoke.
The corners of Wang Xiaoniang's mouth hooked, and she continued to prune the flower branches: "What is she doing with this snowfall?"
"This slave doesn't know either, but the slave and maid look at her, it should be an important thing."
"Hmph." Wang Xiaoniang snorted coldly, put down the hand stove in her arms, and made a gesture to get off the soft couch. When Ma Pozi saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward to help Wang Xiaoniang to stay.
"Even if she doesn't say it, I know in my heart that eighty percent is here for the old immortal man in Wanshoutang."
"Madame, speak quietly, if this is heard, Madame will not be able to explain it." Ma Pozi was shocked when she saw Wang Xiaoniang's disrespectful words, and hurriedly reminded.
"What are you afraid of?" Wang Xiaoniang glanced at Ma Pozi, slowly walked to the table and sat down, motioned to Ma Pozi to pour herself a cup of hot tea, and then spoke: "In the past nearly a year, I have almost cleaned up all the minions in this house, and I have cleared them out if I am not in the same heart, even if it is outside, I dare to say so!"
Wang Xiaoniang has been proud of the spring breeze for nearly half a year, she has been a small fufu in the General's Mansion for so many years, and she can finally raise her eyebrows.
"Madame said yes, but didn't the five girls come today? It's at the door now. I said to the fifth girl, Madame, you are resting, so let her wait. ”
"Well done." Wang Xiaoniang got up, opened the corner of the door curtain with a smile, and the cold and biting cold wind rushed in violently, making Wang Xiaoniang shiver for a while, and hurriedly put down the door curtain:
"It used to be like me, and now it's her turn."
"Madam, you are an elder, but the fifth girl never wanted to honor you and be close to you before, and now she is also to blame!" Ma Pozi helped Wang Xiaoniang sit down and flattered her.
Outside Lanwu Courtyard, Ye Lanqiao stood in the cold wind, the snowflakes fell on her big hat, her eyebrows were like paint, and she looked at the courtyard of Lanwu Courtyard fixedly.
Huixiang on the side kept heating her hands, and her nose was already frozen red: "Girl, why hasn't this Ma Pozi come out yet, she just hung us at the door?"
Ye Lanqiao trembled when she saw Hui Xiang's coldness, and she handed over the soup woman in her hand: "You hold it first."
"Where is this? Girl, quickly surround the big box. Hui Xiang hurriedly pushed Tang Pozi back, and quickly surrounded Ye Lanqiao's body, lest there be a trace of cold wind going in.
"You hold it, I have a big one, it's out of the way." Seeing that Huixiang's girl was so cold that she couldn't even speak, Ye Lanqiao sighed and insisted on stuffing Tang Pozi into Huixiang's arms.
"The fifth sister is really kind-hearted, even the soup lady can give her maid."
Behind him, Ye Ruqiao was surrounded by people and walked over to the courtyard, followed by Qiao Yufei.
Ye Lanqiao turned around, looked at Ye Ruqiao who was walking over, and said lightly: "Hello, fourth sister."
The smile on the corner of Ye Ruqiao's mouth was thick, and when she walked in, she saw that Ye Lanqiao had been blowing in the cold wind for so long, not only was she embarrassed, but she became more and more embarrassed, but her temperament of ice muscles and jade bones became more and more apparent, the smile on the corner of Ye Ruqiao's mouth disappeared immediately, and she snorted coldly and said:
"I haven't seen my fifth sister for a long time, how are my fifth sisters okay lately? Why do you have time to come to this Lanwuyuan today? ”
"Grandmother's health has not been good since the beginning of winter, so I came here today and wanted to ask my wife to hand over my father's waist card to me, so that I could send someone to the palace to ask the imperial doctor to come and heal."
"Is Old Madam Ye okay?" Qiao Yufei, who had been unable to interject, heard Ye Lanqiao's words and asked.
Ye Lanqiao didn't even look at Qiao Yufei, and replied: "It's not serious, Prince Lao Qiao is worried."
The most unbearable thing for Ye Ruqiao was that Ye Lanqiao was talking to Qiao Yufei, she grabbed Qiao Yufei's arm and spoke: "Brother Qiao, mother is still waiting for us inside, let's go in quickly."
Qiao Yufei nodded, followed Ye Ruqiao into the courtyard, and after taking two steps, Qiao Yufei caught a glimpse of the thin figure standing in the cold wind, and felt unbearable for a while: "The five girls should also come in together."
"Brother Joe!" Ye Ruqiao glanced at his mouth and muttered dissatisfiedly.
"In your own home, where is there a reason for people to stand and wait at the cold wind outlet, Ru'er, don't you say?" Qiao Yufei lowered his head and smiled at Ye Ruqiao, and asked rhetorically.
"Yes...... Brother Joe was right. Fifth sister, it's too cold outside, you better come in quickly. Ye Ruqiao turned her head unwillingly and said to Ye Lanqiao.
Entering the house, when Wang Xiaoniang saw Qiao Yufei in the wind in Yushu, the smile on her face was almost uncontrollable, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Ye Lanqiao, the corners of her mouth stiffened, and a trace of boredom flashed in her eyes.
"Ru'er, let your fiancé sit down." Wang Xiaoniang deliberately raised her voice, and observed Ye Lanqiao's face as she spoke.
Ye Lanqiao looked back at Wang Xiaoniang with a calm face, as if she didn't hear what she said just now, it was Wang Xiaoniang who deliberately said it to herself.
"Five girls, I've been feeling unwell these days, so I've been sleeping a little, and I've just gotten up. I heard Ma Pozi say, you have been here for a while, and you have been waiting for so long, don't take it to heart. Wang Xiaoniang thought that Qiao Yufei was also here, so she had to pretend to be a loving mother and patiently explained.
Ye Lanqiao shook his head: "Where is Madame, Madame is unwell?" It just so happened that I came here today to borrow my father's waist card to enter the palace to invite the imperial doctor, and when the imperial doctor came, I would also show it to my wife. ”
Wang Xiaoniang paused, and then smiled: "Yo, that's really unfortunate, a few days ago, the old man sent someone back, saying that he needed a waist card, and I asked that person to bring it back."
When Ye Lanqiao heard this, her face turned cold, and sure enough, what Shen's mother said was right, Wang Xiaoniang was still thinking about Fa'er's excuse to excuse herself.
