"General, after all, he is so old now, it will make people laugh if this style of play is spread." Old Mrs. Ye walked in, stopped General Ye's stick, which was about to fall, without saying a word, and opened her mouth to persuade.

General Ye Lao saw that someone was coming, and besides, three generations of the family were there, so he had to put down the stick.

"Grandfather, please dissipate your anger and spare your father." Ye Lanqiao looked at Ye Lin, who was kneeling on the ground and was a little pale, thought about it, and also knelt down to plead.

"Get up." General Ye waved his hand helplessly, turned around and walked towards the Hainan Huanghuali Su Circle Chair behind him, with a slight tiredness in his tone.

Ye Lanqiao got up and immediately went to help Ye Lin on the side, who knew that General Ye had a pair of eyes behind him, and suddenly turned his head and roared: "Don't help him up!" ”

"General......" Old Madam Ye reminded in a low voice, in front of the child, she still had to save some face for Ye Lin.

Ye Lin's face was even more ugly, he was an elegant and decent official on weekdays, when had he ever been so embarrassed? Especially in front of his daughter.

Ye Lanqiao secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, wondering if he should avoid it, so as to save face for his father.

"Your mother is also here, tell me what you said just now!" General Ye was really angry today, he sat on the plain circle chair and spoke in a muffled voice.

"Back to his mother, the son is thinking that his mother is old and can't stand the fatigue, although Lan'er is a concubine, she is still young, and the affairs of the inner house are not handled by a mature and stable woman, so she ......"

Ye Lin said as he spoke, as if his back was starting to hurt, and he couldn't say a word.

"Hmph, so you're going to help Wang Xiaoniang as the eldest lady of the main room, right?"

Old General Ye snorted coldly and made up for Ye Lin's next words.

"Son, this is also for the sake of our family!"

"How can the master be so confused? In this Kyoto city, who will support the concubine room as a continuation? Aren't you afraid that when you go to the court, those officials poke your backbone? ”

Old Madam Ye looked at Ye Lin who was kneeling on the ground, and said with hatred.

"Mother, although Qiang'er doesn't have a family background, but she has been in the house for many years, she can honor the two elders, and she has given birth to a pair of children for our general's mansion...... Let her come and take care of the back house of the General's Mansion, and her son can rest assured. ”

The corners of Ye Lanqiao's mouth twitched when she heard this, it is also interesting to say that she is a father, when she should marry at the age of twenty, she obviously said that she didn't want to marry Yu, and her body was really honest. Now that they are in their forties, they are beginning to rebel, and they insist on supporting the concubine as their wife, regardless of any secular etiquette, which is really ridiculous.

"Say one more word and I'll break your legs!" Seeing Ye Lin's attitude, General Ye couldn't wait to get up immediately and give him a few more sticks, but fortunately, Old Madam Ye stopped him.

Ye Lin's neck shrank when he heard this, he knew that General Ye would do what he said.

Ye Lanqiao was really bored on the side, although she was very surprised by Ye Lin's approach, but after thinking about it, she was going to get married in two years, as the saying goes, the daughter who married out spilled the water, Wang Xiaoniang should not be the eldest lady of the general's mansion, and it has nothing to do with herself.

Just when Ye Lanqiao was in a fugue, Ye Lin coldly moved his gaze to Ye Lanqiao's body, and he pondered for a moment before speaking:

"Father, Lan'er is young, don't say anything else, some time ago, Lan'er made a lot of jokes about the relocation of the tablet, which disgraced the General's Mansion, so it's better to find a stable and proper person to deal with these things."

Ye Lanqiao almost choked to death by her own saliva, she stared at the back of Ye Lin's head incredulously, this father is really for his true love, even his own daughter can pit it.

"Hmph, how do you know that your little lady Wang can take care of these things in the backyard? What else will she do except recite poetry and cry with you every day? ”

Ye Lin deserves to be a scholar, and immediately spoke: "Before Qiang'er entered the mansion, she didn't know those poems and songs, her son just mentioned a little and she was proficient here, Qiang'er is so smart, if her father and mother are willing to mention it a little, she will definitely be able to manage this ......"

Before Ye Lin finished speaking, a sweet white glaze insert flew straight towards his face, and after Ye Lin dodged, he heard the sound of sweet white glaze cracking in his ears.

Ignoring Mrs. Ye's obstruction, General Ye stood up from the circle chair, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the tip of Ye Lin's nose tremblingly: "Get out!" Get the hell out of here! I tell you, unless I go with your mother at once, you don't want to put that woman on the throne!" Get lost! ”

General Ye's thunderous anger frightened everyone inside and out, Ye Lanqiao had never seen this situation before, she arranged a sentence from Huixiang with a side face, Huixiang understood, walked outside and called Jin Rong beside Ye Lin in, and dragged Ye Lin, whose face was already as pale as paper, to retreat.

"Grandfather, don't be angry." After calm was restored in the main hall, Ye Lanqiao walked up to General Ye Lao and felt some distressed comfort.

General Ye had made such a big fire just now, and now he only felt dizzy, he gasped slightly, raised his eyes and looked at his granddaughter, who was still very young, and couldn't help but feel a sadness in his heart:

"Lan'er, don't worry, grandfather will support this body and send you to marry peacefully, so that you can live a peaceful life in the future."

Ye Lanqiao's eyes suddenly turned red, and her throat seemed to be stuffed with a large ball of cotton, she could hear the meaning of General Ye's words, but she never expressed her feelings, including later joining the army and then crossing later, the surrounding environment taught her only forbearance and profundity.

"Grandfather...... Don't say that, I ......" Ye Lanqiao cried, and only held back such a half sentence for a long time.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Seeing his granddaughter crying, General Ye felt that what he said just now frightened Ye Lanqiao, and he cleared his throat: "Grandfather and grandmother will definitely find you a stepmother with good moral character, gentle and virtuous, so that even if you marry someone in the future, you will have a family to rely on." ”

"Hmm." The thousand words in Ye Lanqiao's heart were only gathered into one word, and he gently pressed his face to the palm of his grandfather and grandmother, and a line of tears slipped silently from the corners of his eyes.

In a blink of an eye, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, as early as a few days ago, General Ye Lao specially asked people to go to Qiao's house to pay a visit, inviting Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Yufei to come to the house as guests, so early in the morning, Ye Lanqiao knew that today was a big day, and before Huixiang walked in and asked her to get up, Ye Lanqiao had already obediently sat in front of the dressing mirror and combed her hair.

"The girl got up so early today." Huixiang's eyes were crooked, and she couldn't help but joke.

"Grandmother arranged for me again and again last night, and there will be guests in the house today, so I have to watch the people, so that some places are not properly prepared and lose the rules." Ye Lanqiao covered his mouth and yawned, and said slowly.

"I think the girl is looking at Qiao Gongzi who will come today, so I got up early to dress up more beautifully!" Hui Xiang took out a gold-painted sandalwood box from the cage and gently placed it in front of Ye Lanqiao.

Ye Lanqiao glared at Huixiang: "I didn't!" ”

"And say no, girl, your face is red!"

Ye Lanqiao rolled her eyes, she didn't blush because she didn't sleep full, not because she was shy!

"Girl, today is a good day, you just listen to my advice, dress up these beautiful clothes and jewelry, but today you want to see Qiao Gongzi, right?" Hui Xiang opened the box, carefully took out a set of silver-plated beads that she had just retrieved from Wanjinfang yesterday, and put it in front of Ye Lanqiao.

Ye Lanqiao looked at a set of heads and faces that weighed five or six pounds, and his head had begun to ache faintly, and when he was about to open his mouth to find a reason to wear less, Yueluo, who was washing the face towel on the side, also spoke: "We know that girl, you don't like to wear such heavy things on your head on weekdays, but today is a big day and you have to meet important guests, girl, you should be a little patient." ”

"Come on, come on." Ye Lanqiao waved his hand very resignedly, sat in front of the dressing mirror, and obediently asked Huixiang to clean up and dress up.

"Girl, come from the front, Qiao's car has already entered the street, and the old general asked us to go to the front quickly, so that we can go to the door to welcome the guests together."

Hearing the rumor outside, Hui Xiang and Yue Luo quickly put on the last piece of jewelry for Ye Lan Qiao, and the three of them hurriedly walked towards Wanshoutang.

Old Madam Ye looked at Ye Lanqiao who came from a distance and nodded with satisfaction. Today, Ye Lanqiao is wearing a narrow sleeved short shirt with light purple gold weaving dark patterns on his upper body, a darker pleated long skirt on his lower body, and a layer of bright yellow tulle is fixed with a corset, and a sachet and jade ring with colorful velvets are hung around his waist, and he is wearing a pink-purple robe outside, accompanied by a shawl that is as light as smoke, and the bell rings when he walks, and the sound is like a heavenly sound.

"Grandfather and grandmother Wan An." Ye Lanqiao walked in front of the two old men, blessed his body, and bowed.

"Very good, Lan'er, in the past, you didn't like to dress up very much, so your grandfather and I left you to go. But today you are very sensible, and you are also a slim girl when you dress up with your heart. ”

Old Madam Ye was full of spring breeze, and the more she looked at Ye Lanqiao, the more she liked it.

"My granddaughter knows that she is going to see a distinguished guest today, so she doesn't dare to be lazy, so as not to lose her courtesy."

"Well, that's good." General Ye looked at his granddaughter, who has grown up so much now, and his eyes were full of pride and pride, but he was only used to training people in his life, and now he wants to praise his granddaughter, and he doesn't know where to start, so he can only say "very good".
