Ye Lusheng hurriedly got out of bed, knelt down and said: "Mother has no basis to suspect me like this, but Lusheng feels wronged, if my mother really wants me to prove my innocence, please forgive me for being sorry for the reputation of the Ye family." ”

Mrs. Ye saw that Ye Lusheng was so serious, so she asked him to talk about it in detail, Ye Lusheng had to talk about the fact that he was in Dongying's restaurant and accompanied Dongying noblewoman to drink: "Those women are very generous, I drink ten glasses of wine, and I will pay me a day's salary for working in the back kitchen, among them, there is a bit of power, the amount of wine is very good, she said that if I drink her, she will give me a lot of remuneration, so ......"

"Say no more!" Old Madam Ye couldn't listen to it, and the old man knelt down and hugged Ye Lusheng with tears: "My son, you have suffered!" "The dignified young master, now he has become a wine accompaniment, is there a difference between him and the geisha in Cuiyan Building? Old Madam Ye didn't care where those things went, she only hugged Ye Lusheng distressedly, and she couldn't stop crying.

Old Madam Ye returned to her room and remembered Ye Lusheng's words to persuade her: "Mother, do you remember that my father told us before that the ancestors of the Ye family were self-made, and the Ye family's later prosperity was not relied on by others, so as long as we are alive, there is still hope." She folded her hands and bowed to the night sky: "Lord bless." ”

The days still passed like this, until that day Old Madam Ye watched Xiuwan washing clothes by the patio, under the warm sun, Xiuwan looked young, and a butterfly flew over slowly and stopped on her headdress.

"Butterflies?" Old Madam Ye squinted her eyes to look, Xiuwan turned around, the butterfly was alarmed, and then left flutteringly, she also looked at it, and said with a smile: "No, the old lady forgot, it's been spring for a long time." ”

"It's a fast day." Old Madam Ye got up and habitually flicked the clothes on her body, but then she smiled secretly: "I'm really old and confused, what do I care about at the moment?" ”

Xiuwan didn't answer, but looked at the flowers and plants on the side with a smile: "Old lady, look, these flowers are all flowery." ”

Old Madam Ye smiled and said yes, looked at Xiuwan's clothes, pointed to one and said, "This is Lu Sheng's clothes?" ”

Xiuwan saw that it was a light brown spring shirt, she nodded and said yes, Old Madam Ye frowned and said, "There are many small holes in the waist of this dress, when should I make up for it." As she spoke, she laughed again: "Alas, this time is different from the past, if it was before, I am afraid that it will be thrown away." ”

Xiuwan was afraid that Old Madam Ye would think too much, so she smiled and said, "I also said that I would make up for it, but the eldest young master said that he wore this shirt in it on weekdays, and others couldn't see it." ”

"Others don't know, but we do" Old Madam Ye sighed, and Xiuwan hurriedly said: "Okay, since the old lady cares like this, Xiuwan sewed it early." ”

Mrs. Ye smiled, took out a piece of silk to wipe her face, the silk was made for her by Xiuwan, she chose dark red fabric, embroidered three rich flowers, she looked at the three lifelike flowers, and asked, "Xiuwan, how old are you?" ”

"Count it up," Wan paused, and said with a smile, "I'm twenty-five too." ”

"You're such a good girl, it's really a delay." Mrs. Ye put away the silk carefully: "If there is such a day, I will make the decision for you and find a good mother-in-law." ”

How can Xiuwan have time to think about these now, and suddenly when she heard Mrs. Ye mention it, she also thought about it, and said dumbfoundedly: "I don't know if it's okay or not, but that person should be able to read and read, and he doesn't have to be an official or oppress the people, just at home, it's best to teach me to write." ”

Old Madam Ye didn't speak, just looked at Xiuwan with a smile, Xiuwan reacted and said shyly: "Don't say it, don't say it, the old lady will make fun of me." ”

Old Madam Ye smiled: "Okay, I agreed, I must be looking for a scholarly family for you." ”

Xiuwan smiled lightly, and Chunwen came to invite: "Our lady said that it was the master's birthday to catch Ming'er, and she said that she also invited the old lady to come to the front yard to have dinner together." ”

"Alright, I got it." Old Madam Ye coldly agreed, and Chunwen didn't want to stay longer, so she said that she went. Xiuwan came over at this time: "Old lady, why can't you get along with this Chunwen?" She turned out to be sent by Mrs. Lu, maybe she wanted to make peace with the old lady. ”

"Well, how do I not understand this?" Old Madam Ye saw that Xiuwan had already dried all the clothes, so they walked out together, and Old Madam Ye said in a low voice: "If you want me to go to the front yard, I'm afraid it's my brother's idea, what can we talk about?" My sister-in-law, I'm afraid she is thinking that the well water does not interfere with the river water. Again, she has no disagreement with me, it's just that she does whatever she wants. ”

"Xiuwan knows, and she will prepare the old lady's clothes early." Xiuwan replied, and then retreated first.

This year's birthday of Master Lu is not full ten, so there are only three or three people who come in twos and threes, and they are all relatives who are close to each other.

There were only three tables at the banquet, and after Mr. Lu toasted from table to table with a wine glass, he sat down to eat, and Mrs. Ye sat quietly on the side, and did not forget to tell Ye Lusheng to drink less wine. Because the people who came were not familiar to her, Mrs. Ye only looked forward to ending it soon and going back by herself.

Ling'er and Feifei had already gone down to play, and Qiao's was busy ordering both the painting and Yueshu to watch.

Fortunately, none of the people who came took the initiative to talk to Mrs. Ye, she was also clean, Xiuwan and Zhuo Gui naturally couldn't come to the front yard to serve, and Mrs. Ye comforted at that time: "It's okay, you finally have time to rest and rest." ”

Xiuwan was silent, only smiled and picked up a purse, Mrs. Ye hurriedly snatched the needle and thread in her hand, and complained: "Since I said let you rest, you will listen to me, and it will not be too late to get these things in the future." ”

Xiuwan could only put down her purse and said with a smile: "I listen to the old lady, but it's really difficult to find something to do." ”

"You don't want to learn to read?" Old Madam Ye instructed Zhuo Gui to fetch Ye Lusheng's book: "It just so happens that Lusheng has some idle books there, if you recognize a few words, just read them." ”

Xiuwan wiped her hands before taking the books and agreeing with a smile.

The old lady was looking at the spring flowers on the side of the banquet, but suddenly heard bursts of crying. She looked over curiously, but saw Ling'er hurrying over with Ling'er in her arms, Mrs. Lu frowned and said, "What are you doing?" Come to the back. ”

When entering the painting, he had to retreat with Lu Ling, and Qiao's was worried about his daughter, so he immediately left. Old Madam Ye really felt bored here, so she followed.

It didn't matter if he looked at it, but he saw that Lu Ling's small face had a big opening on his forehead, and he was bleeding.

"Oops!" She couldn't help but exclaim, and learned that Yueshu had gone to find a doctor, so she pulled Fei Fei, who had been hiding behind, and asked, "Fei Fei, you have been following Sister Ling'er, tell me, how did Sister Ling'er get hurt?" ”

Feifei looked at Lu Ling, who was crying, in fear, and replied timidly: "We picked flowers over there, and Sister Ling'er said that she would pick the biggest rose by herself, and then she fell off the garden......

Qiao's was angry and distressed, and now he couldn't scold the child, so he rushed into the painting and scolded: "Didn't I want you to take a good look at Ling'er? You can't look at the two children, what's the use of keeping you? ”

Into the painting looked very guilty, but also explained: "Miss Feifei and Miss Ling'er ran into the depths of the garden, and there was no one after a while, so I ...... with Yueshu."

"When the subordinates make mistakes, they make mistakes, what excuses do you make?" Old Madam Ye looked at Lu Ling distressedly and said, "Oh, why hasn't this doctor come yet?" Ling'er is a girl's family, so it's good not to leave a scar. When Old Madam Ye said this, suddenly a bright thing fell out of Lu Ling's clothes.

Others naturally didn't care about it, but Old Madam Ye picked it up and looked at it clearly, what is this thing, what is it if it is not the gold chrome in her wooden box? Could it be that she looked at Mrs. Lu's face who came in a hurry, and sure enough, Mrs. Lu immediately panicked when she saw the golden chrome.

She knew, Old Madam Ye walked away coldly, and she said to Mrs. Lu, "Don't worry, I won't let you return it." ”

Mrs. Lu didn't deny it, lowered her voice and said coldly: "It's just some cheap jewelry, what qualifications do you have for me to pay it back?" If we hadn't taken you in, you'd have died! ”

Old Madam Ye didn't answer and went slowly.

In any case, Lu Ling's scar was still left, and the pink and tender one on his forehead was very conspicuous. Although Xiao Nizi is only six years old, she is also too sensitive, and closes the door tightly all day long, and no one is seen except Qiao's.

Because Qiao's family cares about Lu Ling all day long, a child like Feifei also feels that something has changed in her heart, and Aunt Qiao, who has always been smiling at her, no longer cares about her too much. At first, she could still hide quietly next to Lu Ling's house, and when she saw Qiao's figure, she immediately ran out, but every time Qiao's only talked to her, she went in alone. A few more times, Feifei no longer guarded Lu Ling's house, and Qiao sometimes asked about her whereabouts, but when she entered the painting, she said: "What does the young grandmother think she does?" This little scourge, the young lady's injury must have something to do with her. ”

"You have a lot of virtue on your lips!" Qiao Shi no longer let her follow: "If you have any ideas, don't put them on the child!" ”

But after a few days, Qiao's finally led Lu Ling out of the room.

Lu Ling's bangs were pulled down and covered the wound on her forehead, but her big smart eyes were much less radiant, she hid behind Qiao's back, looking at Mrs. Lu and Master Lu timidly, Mrs. Lu wanted to hug her, but she suddenly asked: "Eniang, where is Feifei, where is she?" ”

Qiao Shi looked back and saw that both Zhuhua and Yueshu were standing behind, so he asked, "What about Feifei?" ”

"Miss Feifei hasn't paid attention to her these days, and Mr. said that she didn't go to the study to study, maybe she went to Mrs. Ye." Yueshu replied, looked left and right, and then said, "I heard from Mr. that this Miss Feifei doesn't like to study." ”

Qiao Shi frowned and said, "You don't need to say whether Feifei loves to study or not, if she really doesn't love her, I won't let her go." ”
