When Mrs. Ye heard what Master Zeng said, she hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Please also ask Master Zeng to make it clear." ”

Master Zeng touched his half-length beard, and asked instead of answering: "Old lady, do you remember when Lord Lin Zexu sold cigarettes?" ”

Mrs. Ye nodded, she remembered that she was still a young lady who had not left the cabinet at that time, and that day Humen sold cigarettes on a large scale, which made many opium merchants lose money.

Master Zeng said again: "Then do you know that although opium is banned, there are still many people who buy and sell this ......."

Old Madam Ye was shocked, her words trembled a little, and said, "You mean, rely on this...... No, if you are discovered, you will have your head cut off! ”

Master Zeng got up and said with a smile: "Old lady, this is Zeng's method, you think about it carefully, think clearly, Zeng can help you." ”

Xiao Yan, who was waiting outside the house, saw Master Zeng come out, forgot to send him, and was handed a roll of his eyes by Rui Xi before he came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Master Zeng, don't be surprised, Xiao Yan will send you." ”

Master Zeng looked up at the sun and said with a smile: "I don't blame you, the sun is big, and people's hearts are panicked." ”

Anyway, don't send it to Xiaofei, and lead the people by yourself.

Xiao Yan was in a trance again, she thought of what Tong Shuang said in the pavilion yesterday, she couldn't tell if it was true or false, but if she relied on her......

"Now you can see the situation, the Li family doesn't say it first, the Cao family will definitely take this opportunity to make trouble for our Ye Mansion, this is one of them; The Wang family has long been separated from Ye Fusheng, to put it bluntly, Mrs. Wang and others have no support from the queen family, and the only hope is Lu'an, which is the second; But the entire Ye Mansion is still in the hands of the old lady, and if Lu An wants to get more, he needs someone close to the old lady......"

In the past three days, the wind and clouds have not changed, but in Yefu, some things are changing, like plum vegetables that have to be made every year, slowly fermenting.

Old Madam Ye went to Zeng's Mansion and came back with a red glow; Xiao Yan spent more time going to the South Courtyard, and after coming out of Wang Qianqun, she quietly entered Tong Shuang's house; Shen Yun didn't know why, she stopped a lot, and often sat in Cao Liangse's house, learning to make sachets......

Time flies, the white horse passes, and Cao Liangjin is about to get married.

I never thought that in addition to Cao Liangse in the Ye Mansion, there was another person who was quite surprised by the reaction - Ye Luhuan.

Everyone is fighting in the house, and almost no one knows that Lu Huan, who has been making others happy, also hides a woman in his heart, ordering red beans and acacia.

Cao Liangse hurriedly asked the person who came to deliver the message who the husband's family was, and the man replied: "It's the young master of the Fang family, it's a middle-...... family."

In this way, Cao Liangse wanted to go back to take a look, and Mrs. Ye smiled: "It's okay, that girl from Liangjin has finally found a lover." ”

Ye Luhuan said suddenly: "Sister-in-law, let Lu Huan go with me, I can help my eldest brother...... Take care of some ......."

Everyone only thought that Ye Luhuan was also anxious to marry, and they all teased: "I am not ashamed, I am also worried about it!" ”

The messenger's face showed embarrassment, and Cao Liangse said: "What's the matter, Lu Huan is young, and it's good to love excitement, so let's go together." ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Ye was afraid that saying too much would make Cao Liangse suspicious, so she couldn't say it again, so she explained a few words, and then asked her to go down to pack up her things.

Early the next morning, the two set off for departure.

Mrs. Ye got up so early today, and when Rui Xi combed her hair, she accidentally yawned, and Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "Look at me relying on the old and selling the old, you didn't sleep well." ”

Rui Xi was strange, she had to be scolded a few times on weekdays, but she was happy in her heart, thinking that Old Madam Ye looked down on her, and said with a smile: "Where did you come from?" What good things happened to the old lady? He looks so good today. ”

Old Madam Ye smiled lightly, and then ordered: "Have you prepared the coffee you brought back from Taiwan?" Rui Xi responded: "I've sent someone to cook it, just talk back." ”

Before she went out, Xiao Yan pushed open the door and came in, and said hurriedly: "Old lady, old lady, there are many foreigners in the house suddenly!" ”

Old Madam Ye heard this and asked, "The people from Master Zeng's side are here?" Xiao Yan replied and said, "I came early in the morning, and I was in the front hall, and I was chatting with foreigners, but I didn't understand." ”

Rui liked to laugh, pointed at Xiao Yan and said, "People speak Western dialect, where do we understand?" ”

Mrs. Ye thought that it would not be good for people to wait for a long time, so she asked Xiao Yan to ask Ye Lu'an to go over first, and then changed into an embroidered hibiscus shirt and went out.

As soon as they met, a woman yelled at Mrs. Ye and bluffed her.

The translator from Master Zeng's house hurriedly said, "Don't worry, old lady, this lady is saying that your clothes look good." ”

Mrs. Ye came to her senses at this time, and sat down with Rui Xi's help, and after a closer look, the women who came were all wearing the same dresses as Cao Liangjin, but a few men were wearing long gowns, which were a little nondescript.

The translator smiled, "Mr. Wood specially made a suit to wear in order to better cooperate." ”

came and went, without mentioning business, Mrs. Ye was about to ask more, and happened to come with coffee.

When the foreigners saw it, they immediately smiled from ear to ear, it turned out that the subordinate was holding a teacup with coffee, and the blue and white porcelain cup lined with black coffee, which was a little strange.

Old Madam Ye couldn't hold back her face, so she wanted to open her mouth, and she didn't want one of the foreigners to suddenly say a few words to the translator, and the translator nodded and said, "This gentleman asked, is the old lady ready?" ”

Old Madam Ye saw that the foreigner looked at her with a smile, she was a little unhappy in her heart, and thought that Master Zeng would not harm herself, so without saying a word, she took out the seal and stamped it, and said: "My Ye Mansion also talks about rules, as long as you can really save Ye Mansion from fire and water on this day, there will be heavy thanks in the coming day!" ”

After lunch, Mrs. Ye gave several foreign girls embroidered clothes, and she was very grateful and sent them out.

Ye Lu'an asked, "Auntie, is this good?" Old Madam Ye shook her head and said, "I don't know, let's see the will of heaven!" Amitabha Buddha ......"

Ye Lu'an returned to the room, thinking that his merchant ship was still blocked by foreigners at the dock, and couldn't help scolding: "Everything is occupied by foreigners, and it doesn't make sense to be ruthless, are foreigners still trustworthy?" ”

Tong Shuang came with a cup of tea and asked, "Who provoked you again and made you so angry?" ”

Ye Lu'an told everything in the morning, and said indignantly: "Sooner or later, foreigners will occupy my Qing Dynasty!" ”

Tong Shuang hurriedly took a silk to cover his mouth: "It's okay to be angry, but you can't talk nonsense!" He added: "I think the old lady is the right step, and now she can't rely on the court, she can't rely on her relatives, and it's not a good thing to focus on foreigners; Besides, the old lady is a vigilant person, and if it weren't for someone's help, she wouldn't have done such a thing. ”

Ye Lu'an looked at her approvingly, and laughed at himself: "Look at me to such a confused point, I haven't even sobered up yet." ”

Tong Shuang smiled and leaned into his arms and said, "You're too anxious......"

Ye Lu'an hugged it lightly and said with a smile: "Shuang'er, I also want a child." Tong Shuang's cheeks were red and hot with shame, and she pretended to be angry: "It's good and it's not serious again!" ”

Suddenly felt a light under his feet, and was picked up by Ye Lu'an, Tong Shuang wrapped his neck tightly, and said with a smile: "Quickly let me down, look carefully at the fall!" ”

Ye Lu'an stopped and said softly: "Shuang'er, it seems that I haven't hugged you like this except after you sprained your foot that day, I sometimes think, why are the two of them married, but they don't have the happiness that can be easily obtained at the beginning?" ”

Tong Shuang freed up a hand, stroked his face, and said softly: "As long as your heart is like mine, you will definitely live up to your lovesickness...... Lu'an, I remember it all. ”

Hearing Ye Lu'an chuckle, and then a small kiss fell on his neck, Tong Shuang closed his eyes, and a line of tears fell imperceptibly......
