XIV. Return
As soon as the morning dawned, a blue-topped carriage stopped at the gate of Yefu.
When Ye San saw it, he was in a hurry to pass the word, but a little maid in a light blue palace uniform stopped him and said, "The housekeeper is quieter, my lord only came to see Mrs. Ye this time." ”
Ye San bowed down and said, "Please forgive me, Ye San will show you the way." ”
The person who came was the father-in-law under Prince Gong, who had no identity, because he was deeply favored by Prince Gong, and was given the surname Jiang, and now he is also a person with a head and a face.
The Ye family is doing business with the palace, although Prince Gong secretly helps, but they also have to ask these fathers-in-law to do things up and down, so they are very respectful to this father-in-law Jiang. Ye San invited Gonggong Jiang into the main hall, served tea, and called someone to inform Mrs. Ye.
When the news came, everyone in the east courtyard was frightened, and Mrs. Ye hurriedly got up, changed into a dark purple brocade velvet gown, washed her face and wiped her hands, smoked incense, and cleaned up before hurrying out.
Gonggong Jiang stood up and said, "Please be safe old lady." Old Madam Ye was busy watching and sitting: "Master Jiang is polite, please also ask for your peace." ”
Father-in-law Jiang took a sip of tea and said, "Our family didn't intend to come to disturb Mrs. early, but there was a major event that had to be told in person." "Well, look at the people on both sides.
Old Madam Ye didn't know what she meant, so she asked Ye San to take everyone to the side room to drink tea and rest, so she said, "Master has something to say, please tell me." Gonggong Jiang changed his expression and cried: "Madame doesn't know, this is the beginning of the year, somehow, the prince can't afford to be sick." ”
Old Madam Ye was taken aback and asked, "There are many imperial doctors in the palace, can you find out the cause?" ”
Jiang Gong said fairly: "It's okay for the imperial doctor to say everything, but the whole palace is closely watched by the one above, who knows?" ”
"The one above" is naturally the Empress Dowager Cixi, and Mrs. Ye recited the Buddha: "How can this be?" The Queen Mother didn't care about Prince Gong's life or death! ”
Gonggong Jiang hurriedly looked around and said, "I can't say it!" Now that the things in the palace are separated by a layer of fog and a veil, no matter how far or close you are, you can't see it really; There is only one thing, no one dares to say that the other person is not good, if she listens to it, she will be beaten at the lightest, and the house will be raided at the worst! ”
Old Madam Ye was bluffed into a cold sweat and said, "It's me who is carelessly talking nonsense." ”
Jiang Gonggong said: "Our family came to tell you that if something happens to the prince, the old lady should think about the way out in the future." ”
So speechless, Gonggong Jiang got up to say goodbye, Rui Xi sent him out, but Old Madam Ye sat at the table, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
The east is white, and there are voices from all the courtyards of the Ye Mansion.
Mu Zhi was dressing Mrs. Wang and said, "Just now, Xiaoyan said, Gonggong Jiang came here early this morning." ”
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she smiled contemptuously and said: "It's just a eunuch, this comes early and goes early, sneaky, it can be seen that it's not a good thing, since it's not good, let the one in the East Courtyard go to work, why do I bother to do this?" After a pause, he said, "Go and call Qianqun and Lu'an to eat." ”
Mu Zhi agreed with a smile and went to the south courtyard.
Wang Qianqun was opening the door, and saw Mu Zhi coming, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I was about to go to ask my mother for peace, so I went over first, and Lu An was at Shuangniang's place." ”
Wang Qianqun and Mrs. Wang waited in the west courtyard, and it took a long time for Mu Zhi to come back from the south courtyard, looked at Wang Qianqun and whispered: "The third young master said that Shuangniang was not feeling well, so she ate it herself in the house." ”
Seeing that Wang Qianqun's face changed, Mrs. Wang deliberately asked, "Since Shuangniang ate it herself, what about the third young master?" ”
Mu Zhi hesitated and said, "The third young master said that he naturally wants to accompany him." ”
Wang Qianqun pushed the ceramic bowl, fell to the ground and shattered it fiercely, and scolded: "It's only been a long time, and you know that you can show me your face." ”
Madame Wang persuaded: "What are you angry about? I just said yesterday that you have to attack your heart, right? ”
Wang Qianqun sneered: "People's hearts are small, I can't find them with my naked eyes!" ”
Mu Zhi glanced at Mrs. Wang, stepped forward and squatted down to clean up the broken bowls, and whispered: "I quietly heard what the third young master said just now, it seems that I want Shuangniang to move to her own house." ”
When Wang Qianqun heard this, she asked, "What did you say?" Mu Zhi said with a smile: "If you want to say that Shuangniang and the third young master have a deep relationship, this will have to let the concubine enter the main house." ”
Wang Qianqun trembled with anger: "No wonder I didn't have to personally manage the Tong family's cheap hoof's wedding room that day, and the co-author would have to move out sooner or later!" ”
Mrs. Wang said: "I didn't know that Lu An had gone too far. ”
Wang Qianqun got up to say goodbye, and Mrs. Wang said, "I haven't eaten anything, be careful of being hungry." ”
Wang Qianqun sneered: "I have long been full of anger, my daughter will not take care of it well, I am afraid that this Tong family will drive me out in the future!" ”
Seeing that he was far away, Mu Zhi said: "The third young grandmother is really an unsinkable one. ”
Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "What I want is that she can't sink down, if you want her to sit firmly in the position of the young grandmother, and then help me bring down Lu Liufang, I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, it is better to let things get bigger, and I will be a good fisherman." ”
Mu Zhi asked, "Mu Zhi is stupid, how can Madame benefit?" ”
Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "As long as Qianqun and Lu An tear their faces, the Ye and Wang families will definitely have a dispute, the Ye family can't leave the Wang family's business line, and Lu An can't kill his wife."
In this way, if the Tong family is still there, the Ye family will have to rely on the Wang family; If the Tong family is not there, according to Lu'an's temperament, he will definitely have a dislike with the Ye Mansion, so Lu Liufang will definitely think of a way to take back the tea garden, and the Wang family now has the greatest cooperation with the Ye family tea garden, and there is a good chance to take the Ye family tea garden away. ”
Tong Shuang and Shen Yun went together to greet Mrs. Ye, but Rui Xi stopped her outside the door and said, "Madame got up in the morning and her brain hurt a lot, so she said that she would be excused." ”
Shen Yun hurriedly said, "Are you better now?" Rui Xi said: "I have invited the doctor to come and see, and the eldest lady is watching inside." ”
Tong Shuang grabbed Shen Yun and said, "In this way, we won't be spared, and pray for Mrs. Health." ”
Rui Xi responded: "Rui Xi will return the news of Shuangniang and Yunniang to Madame." ”
So they went, and as soon as the two turned around, they saw that Wang Qianqun had come forward with a smile.
There were very few people in the gambling house on this day, and Ye Lusheng felt bored, so he leaned on the old chair and took a nap.
After being pushed awake for a long time, Ye Lusheng raised his eyes and saw that it was his dumb servant Zhuo Gui, Zhuo Gui handed over a telegram, and couldn't say anything dumbly, Ye Lusheng took it and looked at it, and smiled for a while: "This stinky boy still has a conscience!" ”
It turns out that the fourth young master of the Ye family is going to return from the UK in a few days, speaking of the fourth young master Ye Luhuan, Ye Lusheng is extremely excited, when he was young, Ye Lu's English was quiet, Ye Lu'an likes to study, Ye Rong is a daughter, and only Ye Luhuan is willing to follow him around.
The two climbed trees with the children of the town, dug out birds' nests, and went down to the river to fish...... I had a lot of free time; As soon as Mrs. Houlin left, Ye Luhuan went to the United Kingdom, and now that three or four years have passed, Ye Lusheng is afraid that it will not be good if the two are estranged. So where can I sit still, and I am busy going home.
Wang Qianqun pulled Tong Shuang to talk, who knew that Lizhu, who was waiting outside, pushed the door and entered, saying, "There is a good thing!" ”
Tong Shuang blamed: "Didn't you see me talking to my sister?" Wang Qianqun smiled: "It's okay, but let's talk about what's good?" ”
Lizhu pointed outside and said, "It was said that the fourth young master was coming back." When Tong Shuang heard this, he was surprised: "Lu An said earlier that Lu Huan is an interesting person, and it's great to come back now!" ”
Wang Qianqun was already shocked in her heart, and still smiled on her face: "No, I saw Lu Huan before I got married, and he is a top clever." ”
As a result, Wang Qianqun was not easy to attack, so she only let Tong Shuang go. On the way back to the house, Tong Shuang thanked: "I have to thank Lizhu for her help just now." ”
Lizhu said: "When I saw the third young grandmother leaving Yun Niang alone, I knew that she would embarrass you, why don't you dare to be careful?" ”
Tong Shuang said: "I don't know why she suddenly didn't pretend to be and came to trouble me." ”
Lizhu sneered: "Lizhu looks, I'm afraid Mu Zhi did it!" Shuang Niang, do you think, when the third young master said that he wanted you to move to his house today, wouldn't Mu Zhi hear it? Presumably she went back to add oil and vinegar, how could she still endure the temper of the third young grandmother? ”
Tong Shuang smiled: "With you by my side, I feel much more at ease." ”
