Thirty, Sidi Township

Cao Liangse heard this, and went to the East Courtyard without waiting for Shen Yun to follow.

The people in the East Courtyard were all there, and Old Madam Ye still had tears on her face, but she instructed carefully: "Ye San, you leave immediately, and you must bring Lu Sheng back!" ”

Ye Lu'an also said that he was going, but Mrs. Ye shook her head and said, "No, you can't mess up because of Lu Sheng." I want to sign a contract with someone else today, and I can't help but go to Master Zeng's birthday...... In this way, you go to sign the contract, and I will go to where Master Zeng is, in short, what those foreigners say is what it is. ”

In this way, everyone dispersed, and Old Madam Ye smiled and beckoned to Cao Liangse: "Liangse, you come with me." ”

Old Madam Ye took Cao Liangse to Zeng's mansion. On the way, Old Madam Ye said, "I know you want to ask Lu Sheng about it, so I brought you here and told you well."

Lu Sheng went down the mountain that day, and was indeed taken away by the rebels, and was later sold to Guangzhou as a coolie......" Saying this, Mrs. Ye still couldn't help crying: "He has been pampered since he was a child......"

Cao Liangse also shed tears, still wiped the tears of Mrs. Ye, and listened: "Fortunately, I heard that Master Zeng signed a contract with foreigners again, so that our Ye family's merchant ships can sail far, and a few days ago there was a team to Guangzhou to transport ...... When the cargo ship came to the dock to unload the cargo, I saw a person inside who was very familiar......"

So that's the case, Cao Liangse recited the sentence: "Bodhisattva bless", thinking that Ye Lusheng went out to suffer and wiped her tears, Mrs. Ye took her hand and said: "Don't cry, I will thank Master Zeng when I get to Zeng's mansion." Cao Liangse hurriedly held back his tears and smiled reluctantly: "Liangse knows." ”

At this time, Ye Luhuan followed Ye Lu'an to the largest restaurant in Lianghe Town, and after going up to the second floor, he saw three foreigners. Ye Lu'an has seen a lot of the world, and now he is also a little at a loss.

Ye Luhuan was generous, and took the initiative to reach out and greet the man in the middle. The three of them were surprised and curious about Ye Luhuan's fluent English, Ye Luan sat on the side and saw Ye Luhuan talking happily with the three of them, and hurriedly coughed a few times to indicate the purpose of coming today. When those people heard this, they smiled and looked at Ye Lu'an dissatisfied. Ye Luhuan smiled and added tea to a few people, and said: "Excusemeforaminute." After getting the man's consent, Ye Luhuan pulled Ye Lu'an to the side.

As soon as he arrived at the corner of the building, Ye Lu'an complained: "There is something serious about coming here." Ye Luhuan smiled and said: "Third brother, don't worry, you have to use their way to deal with foreigners, if you follow them from the beginning, it will be us who will suffer." I have a good relationship with them first, and if we make a slight change to the contract, we will make more profits. ”

Ye Lu'an was suspicious, went back with Ye Luhuan and sat down, and said what Ye Luhuan taught: "Sorry." Sure enough, the three men had smiles on their faces.

The signing was very successful, when the contract was handed over to Ye Lu'an, the man shook hands with the two of them separately, and invited them to have tea together next time, Ye Luhuan reported his name, and when asked about him, the man grinned and said, "David."

After waiting for another month, someone who followed Ye San to Guangzhou arrived at the house in advance and reported: "I have found the eldest young master, and I will be able to enter Lianghe Town tomorrow!" ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and without waiting for Mrs. Ye's instructions, Cao Liangse said: "Since this is the case, Liangse will go back first and clean up Lu Sheng's house." ”

Pity her for the past few days, and thinking that Cao Liangse is still living in the marriage room, Mrs. Ye said distressedly: "It's good that you have this heart, but it's better to leave it to the next person to do it." ”

Cao Liangse smiled and said, "If the mother is not at ease, let Yun Niang follow, and a few more people will be enough." Shen Yun was busy saying okay, Old Madam Ye knew that she couldn't resist Cao Liangse, so she ordered a few more subordinates to follow.

For a while, only Mrs. Ye and Ye Lu'an were left in the front hall.

Old Madam Ye smiled: "Lu'an, you have done a good job in the past few days, it seems that I have done nothing wrong by handing over these things to you." ”

Ye Lu'an was busy humility and said, "Thanks to the fourth brother, it is really difficult for foreigners to serve!" ”

Old Madam Ye nodded with a smile and said, "In that case, how about I give Lu Huan a little bit of what you have in your hand?" ”

Ye Lu'an was shocked when he heard this, and immediately realized that this was Old Madam Ye taking advantage of the recovery momentum of the Ye Mansion to deduct his property. Suddenly his face turned pale, and his hands and feet trembled. But he heard a chuckle again, and Mrs. Ye smiled: "Lu Huan is not a person like you, if I give it to him, he may not be willing to ask for it." I'm just kidding you. ”

Rao is like this, Ye Lu'an still can't calm down. He knew very well that as long as it was from the Ye Mansion, it was all about Mrs. Ye's face, not his own, and no matter how tightly he held it in his hand, he couldn't hold it for long.

Old Madam Ye seemed to ask casually: "Why, my sister hasn't shown her face much in the past few days, what's wrong?" ”

Ye Lu'an knew it, and replied: "I heard that the rebels attacked Lingtai Mountain, and my mother couldn't eat and sleep at night, so she was thinking about the safety of her second brother, and she was chanting Buddha and praying in the side room all day long. ”

Old Madam Ye nodded, and said deliberately: "Yesterday, Shuangniang came to see me and said ......" lowered her voice and said with a smile: "I want a child." ”

Although Ye Lu'an was a man, he couldn't help blushing and said, "Shuang'er is not sensible, let the eldest lady laugh." Old Madam Ye said with a straight face: "This is your chance!" If Shuangniang was pregnant first, this Qianqun's stomach did not move for a long time...... As long as you are willing, according to the patriarchal law and I to help, it's not that you can't straighten out the frost girl. ”

After that, Rui Xi helped Mrs. Ye in, Ye Lu'an looked at the blazing sun outside the door, and his heart was uncertain.

Looking at the south courtyard again, Cao Liangse and Shen Yun carefully cleaned the inside and outside of the house, replaced the sheets and pillows with new ones, changed the beaded curtains in the tent due to the heat, and picked some flowers and vases, and it took a long time to clean it up. Shen Yun whispered: "Why doesn't my sister prepare a pillow more?" Now that Lu Sheng is back, my sister still has to live in the marriage room? ”

Cao Liangse didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "If he still complains about me, how dare I come in and live to annoy him?" Shen Yun shook her head, pulled her to sit down, and persuaded: "Don't complain, you are a young grandmother, and you should share the bed with Lu Sheng." As for that day, as you said, he was impulsive and confused. Cao Liangse still didn't follow, and said with a smile: "No matter what, it's good if he's happy." ”

And so, until the next day the east is white.

Cao Liangse didn't sleep all night, so he hurriedly woke up Qiluo to guard at the gate, and got up to dress up.

But I waited for a long time and there was no one until noon, when someone came to report: "It's here!" It's time for Lianghe Town! However, the eldest young master said that he was pickled in his body, so he would go to the inn to take a bath first...... "Old Madam Ye was anxious and distressed, and said: "As long as he is willing to come back, who dares to dislike him?" ”

Cao Liangse's ears kept buzzing, and he couldn't hear the words completely, so he asked, "Which inn is it, I'm tired of leading the way, I'll go over now." The next person looked at Mrs. Ye, and when he saw that she nodded in agreement, he hurriedly called someone to carry a sedan chair and lead Cao Liangse away.

Before arriving at the inn, Ye San came to pick up the sedan chair from inside, and personally led the way to the room on the second floor. Ye San stood outside the door and pointed inside, Cao Liangse understood, and gently pushed the door open and went in.

The house is a little foggy because of the bath water, and the bath bucket is behind the screen, which is even more unrealistic. Cao Liangse carefully adjusted her breathing, for fear that this would be a dream, which would make her wake up suddenly and fall into every lonely night.

Hearing the movement outside, Ye Lusheng thought it was Ye San, so he said, "Uncle Ye, the water is enough, there is no need to add more." ”

It's him! Cao Liangse covered her mouth with both hands, for fear of crying immediately, she slowly leaned forward, stood behind her through the screen, and did not say a word.

Ye Lusheng turned his head at this time and was about to speak, but when he saw Cao Liangse with teary eyes, he suddenly lost his words, and it took a long time to take a towel and say, "Wipe my back for me." Cao Liangse took it tremblingly, sat on the small stool by the bathtub, soaked the towel, wiped it lightly, looked at Ye Lusheng's back one after another, and finally cried.

Ye Lusheng panicked, turned around, gently wiped Cao Liangse's tears, and said, "Don't cry, aren't I coming back?" Don't cry ...... Liangse."

As soon as he heard him call "Liangse", he couldn't stop crying, Ye Lusheng asked: "Why don't you want me to call you like this?" Then I won't scream, don't cry. ”

Cao Liangse shook his head desperately and said with a smile: "No, I like it very much, I like it very much...... Lu Sheng, let's go home. ”

Ye Lusheng paused, stretched out his hand to hold Cao Liangse's, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go home." ”

When Ye Lu was born to the house, he inevitably had a burst of joy and sadness.

After everyone's persuasion, Mrs. Ye easily suppressed her tears and asked her subordinates to prepare meals. Ye Lusheng had just finished bathing, and after a few days of traveling, he was sleepy, so Mrs. Ye had to let him go back to the room to rest first, and then motioned Cao Liangse to follow with her eyes.

When he arrived at the house, Ye Lusheng smiled and said, "It's clean, these subordinates are not lazy." ”

Qiluo hurriedly spoke: "What kind of people, it's all done by the young grandmother and Yun Niang, and we can't get involved!" Cao Liangse was embarrassed to say it, and he was busy blaming Qiluo for talking too much.

Ye Lusheng pulled her to sit down, and Qiluo walked out of the door with interest.

"Thank you two for your hard work," Ye Lusheng said softly, "I originally thought I wouldn't be able to come back." ”

Hearing this, Cao Liangse's eyes turned red, but he also smiled: "How come? You are the eldest young master of the Ye family, and everyone remembers you up and down. ”

Ye Lusheng closed his eyes, as if recalling the hardships of these days, his brows furrowed, and he said: "Several times, I have been locked up in one damp and smelly cabin after another by those people, watching the people who were brought together die one after another, I thought I wouldn't survive the night...... I realized how stupid I was in the first place......"

Cao Liangse hugged him distressedly, gently stroked his head, and said with tears: "Just treat it as a dream, sleep for a while, and forget about it when you wake up." Ye Lusheng nodded in her arms, smelled a gardenia, and fell asleep peacefully.

In the evening, Ye Lusheng woke up, Cao Liangse had already left, and Zhuo Gui came in at this time, pointing outside the door, meaning that someone was coming.

It was Ye Luhuan who came, and as soon as they met, Ye Lusheng smiled and said: "Don't cry, I just came back to see Zhuo Gui crying, which scared me." ”

Zhuo Gui heard it, and saw Zhuo Lan behind him laughing at him, and hurriedly dragged Zhuo Lan out.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Luhuan smiled and said, "You better find a maid!" ”

Ye Lusheng shook his head and said, "No, now I have Xiao Yun and Liang Se who are content." Then he asked, "Why, you are alone?" ”

Ye Luhuan sat down by himself and said with a smile: "Don't blame the third brother, you know, he is busy every day." Ye Lusheng nodded, and asked again: "Isn't the Ye family unwilling to have too much to do with the southern merchants?" Why, now the cargo ships have sailed to Guangzhou? ”

"The world is unpredictable, and the relationship is complicated, so I will find an opportunity to tell you." After Ye Luhuan finished speaking, he whispered again: "What should you do with your sister-in-law?" ”

Ye Lusheng was puzzled, and asked with a smile: "What can I do?" ”

Ye Luhuan shook his head and said, "To be honest, my sister-in-law is a good person, and during your absence, she was thinking about you day and night." You let your sister-in-law stay alone in the empty room, but your sister-in-law never said that she blamed you and hated you, but only said that she would wait for you. Do you know that the sister-in-law also slapped the third sister-in-law because of you...... Ouch, my face hurts when I look at it.

I still listen...... The Cao family said that before the sister-in-law married you, she was seriously ill for you! ”

As soon as Ye Lusheng was excited, he coughed non-stop, Ye Luhuan hurriedly took the tea and said with a smile: "What? Now you know how nice people are to you, right? ”

Ye Lusheng didn't answer, looked outside and asked, "She still lives in the marriage room?" Ye Luhuan nodded and said yes.

Later, the two brothers chatted a little more, and they deliberately avoided unhappy things, and only when Zhuo Lan came to urge Ye Luhuan left.

Zhuo Gui came in and waited, and Ye Lusheng ordered: "You go and bring the wedding dress I wore that day." ”

At night, Cao Liangse carefully opened the window and looked at Ye Lusheng's house, but there was no light, and it was dark and unclear. Qiluo came to report: "Grandma, Yun Niang is here." ”

Cao Liangse had to put down the window and go out, and saw Shen Yun holding a big red wedding dress in his hand, with a smile on his face. Cao Liangse asked suspiciously, "What is my sister doing with this?" ”

Shen Yun didn't answer, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't ask, change it quickly." Cao Liangse only thought that she was in the mood to play, and refused, saying: "I am already married to a wife, how can I wear it again?" Sister, don't embarrass me. ”

Shen Yun saw that she was resolute, so she had to tell her: "It was Lu Sheng who ordered it." ”

In this way, Cao Liangse changed and asked, "What do you want to do at night?" ”

Shen Yun pulled her out and said with a smile: "Marriage." ”

The two came to the long pavilion in the back garden, although it was night, but the red lanterns in the corridor were lit up one by one, and there were a lot of fragrant flowers blooming outside the corridor.

Shen Yun pointed to the front and said, "My sister walked over by herself!" With that, he turned around and disappeared. Cao Liangse looked at it, and there were several figures in front of him, so he lifted his skirt and walked over slowly.

Sure enough, there were people, and when they were about to see the man who was also wearing red, the man came out of the shadows: "Liangse, come here." ”

It was Ye Lusheng, followed by Tong Shuang and Lizhu.

Cao Liangse was still confused, but when she saw Ye Lusheng kneeling down on one knee in front of her, she was startled, and hurriedly pulled him, saying something: "No, there is gold under the man's knees...... You are the eldest young master of the Ye family......"

Ye Lusheng also scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "What Lu Huan said, foreigners propose like this...... Ryose, this time, let me come, will you marry me? ”

Cao Liangse was already teary-eyed, where could he speak. Only nodding fiercely, Ye Lusheng smiled, took out a ring, gently put it on Cao Liangse's ring finger, and said, "Liangse, it's so good." With that, he got up and hugged her.

At first, Cao Liangse remembered that Tong Shuang was still on the side, and he was a little embarrassed, but suddenly he heard a loud noise, and a firework exploded in the sky, followed by a second and a third...... The sky was full of fireworks.

Ye Lu'an and Zhuo Lan appeared outside the corridor with the wooden sticks that lit the fire, Ye Luhuan also put away the violin and came out from behind the rockery, Shen Yun and Tong Shuang handed over the silk and asked Ye Lusheng to wipe Cao Liangse's tears.

Only Wang Qianqun was missing, but everyone didn't mention it, and they all looked at the fireworks in the sky with a smile on their faces.

It didn't take until midnight to return to the room, Cao Liangse followed Ye Lusheng back, and saw that Qiluo and the others had already moved all their things.

Ye Lusheng took hot water and squatted down to take off Cao Liangse's shoes. Cao Liangse shrank her feet and refused to let Ye Lusheng serve her anymore, so Ye Lusheng had to call Qiluo over and sit at the table by himself.

In the middle of the night, Qiluo went out with the foot-washing water, and did not forget to smile: "It's late at night, please also ask the young grandmother and the eldest young master to go to bed early." ”

Cao Liangse scolded in a low voice: "It's really bold. ”

Ye Lusheng smiled and picked up Cao Liangse and put him on the hibiscus couch, carefully lowered the curtain, and looked at her carefully. Cao Liangse turned sideways and said, "Tossing for so long, you can go to sleep." ”

Ye Lusheng asked behind her: "Liang Se, how can I, Ye Lusheng, be so loved by you?" ”

Cao Liangse spoke: "Actually, it's just how I can be right, you don't know, the moment I put on the wedding dress for you, it's like stepping on the clouds, and walking is light......"

Ye Lusheng hugged her easily, buried his head in her neck, and muttered: "I will cherish you well, I will not abandon you again...... Cao Liangse also read:"

Spring tour, apricot blossoms blow all over the head. Mo is young and romantic.

The concubine intends to marry and rest for the rest of her life. Even if you are ruthlessly abandoned, you can't be ashamed. ”

She turned around and looked into Ye Lusheng's eyes: "Lusheng, I have never blamed your ......"
