Chapter 35

The marriage oath must be carried out, Ye Yu was annoyed that Ye Fanhua disobeyed his orders several times for Qiao Zi, and asked him to get out of the study, Ye Fanhua withdrew from the study but did not leave, but knelt at the door, the scorching sun was on the top, Ye Fanhua was a scholar, and he fainted after kneeling outside the door of the study for a day and a night.

After Qiao Zi learned the news, regardless of her back injury, she ran to the place where her husband fainted and knelt down, begging Ye Yu to give up the marriage, Ye Lan couldn't persuade her, and after making sure that her father just fainted and was not in danger of life, she let her subordinates take care of her, and she stood beside her mother with an umbrella to shade her.

"Mother, let's go back, it's too hot, and your injuries haven't healed yet." Ye Lan was worried about Qiao Zi's back injury, and she hated Ye Yu for ignoring her.

"Lan'er, mother is fine, don't stand here, you go and see how your father is doing."

"Dad just let the sun shine, mother, you are weak, don't kneel, he can't see it if you kneel, if you lose your conscience, you can't understand people."

"Shut up, Lan'er, don't let you say that grandpa." Qiao Zi scolded her daughter.

"Mother......" Ye Lan bit her lip, a little aggrieved, she was also worried about her.

"This is a matter between adults, it has nothing to do with you, you are still young, these things are not in your hands, and, no matter what, the head of the family is your grandfather, you can't be rude, you know?"

"Since my mother wants to kneel, then Lan'er will accompany her, my mother doesn't drink water, Lan'er doesn't drink water, my mother doesn't eat, and Lan'er doesn't eat." If she can't persuade Qiao Zi to leave, let her drink water on a hot day, and let her not go to a cool place, Ye Lan had no choice but to use bitter tactics and kneel outside the door of the study with her mother.

"Lan'er!" Qiao Zi looked at her daughter in shock, but her daughter's stubborn expression had already shown that she would not leave easily.

"Mother, don't talk to me, it's okay for me to kneel here and my mother." Ye Lan was a little angry.

Qiao Zi looked at her daughter's awkward appearance, knowing that she felt sorry for herself but couldn't, she could only make herself distressed in this way, hoping that she could leave, but she couldn't leave.

Half-ringing, Qiao Zi helplessly reached out and took Ye Lan's hand, "Good boy, my mother knows that you feel sorry for your mother, and you are a good daughter of your mother." ”

Ye Lan moved her lips, and seeing that she didn't mean to get up, she had to continue to kneel, and looked back at the girl standing next to her, "Cuizhu, don't come over to hold an umbrella for Madame." ”

"Yes, Miss Three." Cuizhu hurriedly ran over with an umbrella.

On a scorching sunny day, even Ye Fanhua couldn't hold on to a big man, not to mention that there was a wound on his body Qiao Zi and a ten-year-old child, in less than an hour, Ye Lan's clothes were already soaked, her legs were extremely uncomfortable, her face was sweating and dripping down, looking at Qiao Zi sideways, her face was pale, sweating like rain, her back was already soaked, thinking of Qiao Zi's back injury, Ye Lan was anxious,

"Mother, let's go back, when your back injury is healed, we will come to ask grandpa to take back the decision, okay, if your clothes stick to your back again, then you have to pull it again, don't you hurt?"

Hearing her daughter say this, Qiao Zi's eyes shrank, she didn't want to experience the pain of tearing her clothes today, but the head of the family hadn't taken back her life, and she couldn't go.

"Madam, it's better to let Cuizhu kneel for you, you are weak, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about it for the second young master, for the eldest son and the third lady."

Qiao Zi has been treating her subordinates well since she entered the Ye Mansion, and when the marriage came, many subordinates were not worth it for Qiao Zi, seeing her like this, the girl Cuizhu couldn't look at it, and offered to help kneel.

"Yes, mother, go back, if you have something, then what about me and my brother and father, I kneel for you here is the same." Ye Lan also took this opportunity to persuade.

"I don't." After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Zi still insisted on making her own decision.

"Mother......" Ye Lan looked at Qiao Zi helplessly, weren't ancient women very gentle, where did Qiao Zi's stubbornness come from?

Although Qiao Zi was reluctant to leave, Ye Lan and Cuizhu persuaded her, considering her young daughter, to finally kneel in a shady place under the eaves.

Without the direct sunlight, Ye Lan suddenly felt much more comfortable, Cuizhu brought tea in time, how Ye Lan begged Qiao Zi but she refused to take a sip of water, helpless, Ye Lan had to continue to be thirsty.

Ye Fanhua was dizzy for two hours before he woke up, and when he woke up, he learned that Qiao Zi and Ye Lan ran to the door of the study and knelt down, and they didn't care about resting, so they hurriedly ran to the study.

"Zi'er, your injuries are not healed, how can you come out and go back."

"Brother Hua, I can't let you work hard alone, I also have to ask my father together." Qiao Zi smiled weakly.

"Lan'er?" Ye Fanhua looked at Ye Lan kneeling beside him again.

Ye Lan sighed helplessly, "My mother refused to get up, so I had to accompany her." ”

"I'll be with you." Ye Fanhua's eyes were slightly hot, and then he knelt lightly outside the door of the study.

Kneeling like this, kneeling until the evening, Ye Yu studied all day today, the housekeeper and the subordinates went in and out, and saw a few people kneeling outside the study, they couldn't bear it, and it was time to rest at night, Steward Zhao looked at Ye Yu and reminded carefully,

"Master, young master, they are still kneeling outside."

"I don't need you to say it, I know." Ye Yu said lightly.

"Then you see ......"

"Didn't the rebel say, I don't agree for a day, he won't get up for a day, since that's the case, let him kneel all the time." Ye Yu said lightly.

Steward Zhao opened his mouth when he heard this, and then he could only retreat, "Then master, I'll go down first." ”

"Go ahead."

Steward Zhao walked out of the study, looked at the three people kneeling under the eaves, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, and he hesitated and walked over,

"The master is going to rest, young master, madam, third miss, you can go back."

"I'm not going back." Ye Fanhua looked up at Steward Zhao stubbornly, he knew that Steward Zhao was deeply respected by his father, "Steward Zhao, please help me talk to my father." ”

"The young master is polite, I have already interceded with the master, but the master is determined to marry the Ma family, I can't persuade the master, young master, don't take your own body and put your own anger, the master has already negotiated the conditions with the Ma family, it is impossible to change, instead of this, it is better to think of another way, it is useless to kneel like this, and even if you don't think about your body, you have to consider the body of Mrs. and the third lady."

Steward Zhao's words were very pertinent, Ye Fanhua was originally firm and began to hesitate, if his father was determined to marry, then he had to think of another way, at this moment, Qiao Zi, who had been insisting on it, finally couldn't support it, his eyes were dark, and his body went forward, Ye Lan was the first to notice that something was wrong, and reached out to pull Qiao Zi, but he fell to the ground weakly with him.

"Zi'er, Lan'er!" Ye Fanhua was shocked.

"Young master, don't worry, Madam and Third Miss must have been kneeling for a long time and can't support it." When encountering something, Steward Zhao seemed relatively calm, and quickly called a few subordinates to carry Qiao Zi and Ye Lan back, who had fainted.

Qiao Zi was born in a tenant family, grew up doing housework since he was a child, and his physical fitness was not bad, but after marrying Ye Fanhua, he was carefully cared for by Ye Fanhua, and he has been pampered for ten years, and he is no longer the same as before Qiao Zi, this time he was first executed by the family law, worried that Ye Lan would ignore his wounds, so he only raised it for a day, and learned that Ye Fanhua knelt at the door of the study, and he ran to kneel and plead for mercy regardless of his injuries, and after fainting at the door of the study and being carried back, he launched a high fever.

This era is not like modern times, it is good to take a medicine or take a hanging needle for high fever, and the medical skills in this era are still very poor, especially for fever patients, once they can't go down, they are easy to burn stupid or burn to death, so fever patients have always been a headache for doctors, and everyone is afraid of encountering problems.

After discovering that Qiao Zi had a high fever, Ye Fanhua's face had been bad, and the doctor came to prescribe medicine, but Qiao Zi took a sip and spit out, and was already a little delirious the next morning.

After Ye Lan fainted and woke up, she found such a situation, she didn't care that her legs were still trembling, and hurriedly helped Qiao Zi to physically reduce the fever, she knew too well what it meant that the high fever could not go down.

Although he was puzzled by Ye Lan's skillful gestures, but his wife's fever could not go down, so he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Ye Fanhua took the initiative to ask Ying for help, and with Ye Fanhua's help, it was much easier for Ye Lan to move.

All day long, Ye Lan and Ye Fanhua guarded Qiao Zi in front of them, and they didn't dare to leave for a moment, and the cold well water was brought out one basin after another, and the towel on their foreheads was changed almost every minute.

With the joint efforts of Ye Lan and Ye Fanhua, Qiao Zijiao finally subsided, but the situation was not optimistic, the whole person fell into a slight coma, Ye Lan and Ye Fanhua didn't react much when they talked to her, and they came to the doctor to see, saying that they were depressed in their hearts, and the medicine did not have much effect, and the heart disease still needed heart medicine.

What is Qiao Zi's heart disease, it goes without saying, Ye Fanhua took care of Qiao Zi for three days, but the situation was not good, but because Qiao Zi couldn't eat normally, his body became weaker, and if it continued like this, I am afraid that in a few days, Qiao Zi will die.

Did you lose your mother like this?

Ye Lan was very distressed when she saw Qiao Zi's pale face, she promised Xiao Lan'er to protect her and wanted to protect people, but now that Qiao Zi is like this, she has no choice.

Qiao Zi's situation has already spread all over the Ye Mansion, and many people are secretly worried about Qiao Zi's body, as the head of the Ye family, Qiao Zi's father-in-law, Ye Yu didn't say anything at all, let alone cancel the marriage decision, and didn't even send someone over to take a look, which couldn't help but make Ye Lan hate in her heart.

"Lan'er, you take care of your mother." Seeing that his wife's breathing was getting weaker, Ye Fanhua decided to go to his father again, and found an excuse to leave, "Dad went to the kitchen to get some rice soup for your mother." ”

In the past few days, Qiao Zi has been in a coma, relying on rice soup to maintain his body and need nutrients, and now it is difficult to even feed rice soup, it is great to be able to drink half a bowl in one bowl, Ye Fanhua can only feed it several times a day, so he said this, Ye Lan did not doubt it, just looked at the decadent father,

"Daddy, slow down."

"Yes." Ye Fanhua stumbled out, but instead of going to the kitchen, he walked towards the study.

The servant guarding the outside of the study saw him and wanted to stop him, "Second young master, the head of the family is busy and doesn't see anyone." ”

"Go away." Ye Fanhua has not slept for a few days, and he doesn't even have the strength to push away the domestic servants.

"Second Young Master, please don't make it difficult for Xiao." The servants looked at him in embarrassment.

"Get out." Ye Fanhua has always been very gentle, and he will never scold the domestic servant easily, but now, thinking of his wife lying in bed, he can't help it.

"Second Young Master......" The servants were embarrassed, and when they didn't know what to do, Ye Yu's voice came from the study, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Ye Fanhua respectfully.

"Second Young Master, please."

Ye Fanhua stumbled into the study and immediately knelt on the ground, "Dad, are you trying to force our family to death?" ”

Ye Yu indifferently glanced at the person kneeling on the ground who did not look like a human son, and turned his head sideways to Steward Zhao who was standing beside him and said, "Butler, you go out first." ”

"Yes, young master." Zhao Bin looked at his nose and nose, and left without looking at it.

Seeing Zhao Bin leave the study, Ye Yu got up and threw the account book he had just read on his son, full of anger, "Rebel, you only think about the family in your small courtyard, have you ever thought about this big courtyard family, have you ever suffered a day when you are so big?" You have the status you have today, who gave it to you? Did your father raise you so big just to raise a white-eyed wolf? ”

"Dad, I know that everything I have today is given by the Ye family, and I also work hard to contribute to the Ye family, but this does not include sacrificing my beloved woman and children."

"Do you think that if it is not necessary, I will marry the Ma family?"

"Dad, what do you mean by that?" Ye Fanhua heard Ye Yu's words.

"I'll throw it to you, it's our Ye Mansion's account book in recent years, you can take a look."

Although Ye Fanhua has not been interested in management since he was a child, he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and the little thing of reading the account book is still very simple, only after reading it for a while, he found that this account book, a year's harvest is not as good as a year, if it continues like this, it is even likely to be unable to make ends meet, this is the account book of Ye Fu?

"Daddy?"

"In recent years, natural disasters have continued, our Yefu relies on the land for a living, not to mention natural disasters, even a strong wind and rain may have an impact on the tenants' crops, the crop harvest is not good, it means that the harvest of Yefu is not good, and since the emperor boarded the plane, the grain tax is heavier and heavier year by year, my Yefu looks at the scenery on the surface, who knows our pressure, plus between the five major families, on the surface it looks harmonious, but secretly they all want to annex each other, the other four families of Yefu are in the eyes, it is a meat bun, everyone thinks about it...... Hua'er, do you know that the pressure of being a father is stressed? ”

Ye Fanhua really didn't know, the surface scenery of Ye Mansion was secretly so precarious, after listening to Ye Yu's analysis, he felt a little guilty, these years, Ye Mansion was supported by his father alone, he was actually only in his fifties, but he was already full of gray hair, thinking of this, Ye Fanhua felt a lot less angry in his heart,

"Dad, my son used to be ignorant, but now that my son understands, in the future, Ye Fu, let my son share it with you, as for the marriage, ......"

"Hua'er, do you know why your father is in such a hurry to marry the Ma family?" Ye Yu interrupted Ye Fanhua to speak.

"My son doesn't know."

"You and Zi'er are in love with each other, Jie'er has been amazingly talented since she was a child, and she was accepted as a disciple by the old man of nothingness, this is the blessing of the Ye family, although Lan'er is a little short-tempered, she is a lovely girl, if it is not an emergency, how can the father choose to sacrifice your happiness in exchange for the peace of the Ye family."

Ye Fanhua is not a stupid person, thinking of his father's previous words, his face immediately turned white, "Father means, someone from the five major families wants to deal with my Ye family?" ”。

"Among the five major families of my Ye family, the background is poor, but because I control most of the food sources of the Chu State, I am squeezed into the five major families and have a lot of status, but in the past few years, natural disasters have continued, and the pressure on the Ye family has increased, if we don't unite with others and be devoured, it will be a blink of an eye." Ye Yu looked at his son meaningfully
