IX. Side chambers

The second day was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Mrs. Ye's maiden family, the Lu family, sent someone to congratulate early, and Mrs. Ye gave tips one by one and invited them into the backyard to gossip.

After Mrs. Wang and Ye Luying had breakfast, a maid came to report: "Sister Muzhi is back." ”

Madame Wang asked, "Is anyone coming?" The maid said, "I followed a large group of people." ”

Mrs. Wang smiled: "That's it, hurry up and welcome it." ”

Hearing this, Ye Luying bowed slightly: "My son went to say hello to my aunt." ”

There were guests in the house, and the kitchen had to prepare more ingredients, and when Lizhu came to check, he cleared the number of people: "Eh, where is the girl?" ”

A few cooks are not speculative with Miaoren, so how can they pay attention to her whereabouts: "I don't know, I'm afraid I'm hiding somewhere to be lazy." ”

Lizhu frowned and scolded: "It's an eyeless one, wait until I go back to the old lady and punish it." ”

As he spoke, a handyman hurried in. Lizhu saw that he had a big wet lump on his body and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The handyman handed out a handkerchief and said, "Please take a look at the girl, whose sister is this?" ”

Lizhu took it, and saw that it was used by the wonderful people in the past: "This Western handkerchief was given to the wonderful people by the eldest young master last year, where did you get it?" ”

The handyman's face turned pale, and he pointed to the well outside the kitchen and said, "I went to fetch water and fished it out of the well." ”

Lizhu was also taken aback, and thought about it in his heart: "I'll go back to the old lady first, don't make a noise first." ”

Everyone was busy, and Lizhu hurriedly went to the east courtyard.

I didn't want Shen Yun to come to invite An this morning and talk to Ye Luying with the Lu family, so I had to withdraw, Xianghua saw that Lizhu looked anxious, and asked with a smile: "What are you doing in a hurry to make a face on Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

Lizhu told him like this, Xianghua thought that Miaoren had come to find him last night, and he was afraid of getting angry, so he hurriedly said: "Good sister, I'm afraid that this kind of thing will make the ladies unhappy, and if you come again, maybe Miaoren is lazy now." ”

Lizhu said: "That's very so, then I'll let people look for it." ”

Ye Lusheng had a hangover and didn't wake up until noon, Xianghua was afraid that he would ask about the wonderful person, so he hurriedly waited to freshen up and change his clothes and said: "Hurry up, the people of the Lu family didn't see the young master this morning, and he was unhappy in his heart, and he was late at lunchtime, so be careful that Mrs. has to talk about you again." ”

When Ye Lusheng heard this, he also went to the East Courtyard.

As soon as she arrived at the hall, it was full of friends, and Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the eldest young master has been refusing to come out to meet people." Ye Lusheng smiled and said, "Wang Niang said that she was laughing. ”

When I looked again, I saw Wang Qianqun looking at him with a smile, and Mrs. Wang's sister Wang Pinmei was sitting aside.

Old Madam Ye said, "Lu Sheng, come and see your uncle." ”

Ye Lusheng bowed to a few people from the Lu family, and then sat down next to Ye Luying, but Ye Luan didn't see anyone.

Old Madam Ye said with a smile: "Lu Antuo Zhuoyan said, if you can't leave the tea garden, you won't come back, let's eat." ”

Mrs. Wang also smiled: "Lu An is too, he is often entangled in these trivial matters, and even when Qian Qun comes back today, he doesn't know yet." ”

Mrs. Ye didn't speak, she only glanced at Ye Lusheng, Ye Lusheng already felt that Wang Qianqun didn't look like a woman, and continued with a smile: "It's good to come now, if the third brother comes back after marrying the Tong family, I'm afraid it will make the third brother and sister unhappy." ”

Wang Qianqun sneered, and Wang Pinmei smiled: "Where do you start with this?" Qian Qun and the third young master are still husband and wife, don't talk nonsense about the eldest young master. ”

Old Madam Ye smiled apologetically and said, "It's also strange that Lu'an is not sensible, but Qian Qun also thought about this marriage, what are we adults mixed in?" In short, I have agreed to the marriage of Lu'an and Tong, which cannot be changed. ”

Wang Pinmei took out a letter from her arms, straightened her face and said: "This is the marriage letter written by Master Ye himself before his death, it is clearly written in black and white, I am willing to marry my husband's Wang family forever Qin and Jin, and it must not be easily abandoned unless the two heads of the family agree, Mrs. Ye still remembers?" ”

At this time, Ye Lu'an was still in the tea garden to check the newly transported tea seedlings, Tong Shuang came from outside with a stove, Ma Er mentioned: "Miss Tong will have to hold it steady later, the third young master is angry." ”

Tong Shuang asked, "What?" Ma Er whispered: "The people of the Wang family are here." ”

Tong Shuang was so smart that he nodded and said, "Then I won't go in, Second Uncle Toma will help me give him this." ”

After speaking, he handed the stove to Ma Er and was about to go back, Ma Er went inside and replied: "Third young master, Miss Tong has been here." ”

Ye Lu'an looked back and saw the stove, and his heart warmed: "What about her?" Ma Er put the stove and said, "Just left." ”

Ye Lu'an hurriedly chased out. Tong Shuang's heart was already depressed, and she was even more sad after thinking about it, and just as she took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, Ye Lu'an grabbed her left hand.

Tong Shuang broke away with a lot of skill and said, "What are you doing with me?" Although I, Tong Shuang, am not a lady, but I am a reasonable person, you really don't have to ruin your future for me. ”

Ye Lu'an said: "I can't wait to show you my heart now, Shuang'er, how can I be that kind of person?" ”

Tong Shuang hurriedly covered his mouth, and Ye Lu'an said: "That is the case, Shuang'er, you and I should go and beg the old lady." ”

Tong Shuang stepped aside and said, "How to do it, it seems that I am shameless." ”

Ye Lu'an said: "Let's not talk about the sincerity of you and me, and besides, the Wang family is already at odds with me, where am I willing to have any entanglements with her, Shuang'er, can you think it's for me?" ”

After another lot of persuasion, Tong Shuang finally agreed.

When Mrs. Ye saw the marriage letter, she felt that it was difficult to deal with it, so she had to smile and say: "The old man and the old man Wang are here, who dares to disobey?" There is only one thing, since I agreed to the marriage of Tong and Lu'an, how can I refuse? At the beginning, I was busy going to the door to propose relatives, and now I am going to break the contract, which can damage the face of my master. ”

Saying that, Xiao Yan came in and reported: "The third young master is back!" ”

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: It was said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, but he happened to come back. ”

Ye Lu'an asked Tong Shuang to stand outside the hall first, greeted everyone one by one, and asked deliberately: "I don't know why Aunt Wang is here this time?" ”

Wang Pinmei sneered: "It's really time has passed, and my virtuous son-in-law is about to turn his face and deny people." ”

Ye Lu'an smiled: "What does my aunt mean by this? Lu An and Qian Qun have no fate, and now they don't dare to call themselves virtuous sons-in-law. ”

Wang Qianqun, who had not spoken, suddenly smiled: "Everyone is talking about the excitement, and there are outsiders outside." ”

When Ye Lu'an heard this, he hurriedly pulled Tong Shuang into the hall, Tong Shuang didn't recognize a few people, and only said hello to the grandmother, young master.

Old Madam Ye asked, "How is Tong Fu's body?" ”

Tong Shuang said slightly: "Mrs. Lao is worried, and my father is in good health." ”

Mrs. Wang looked at it and said, "It's a lovely person." Wang Qianqun smiled: "No, my sister's appearance is what I like when I look at it." ”

Everyone didn't know what medicine Wang Qianqun bought in the gourd, so they didn't answer, Ye Lu'an stepped forward to block Tong Shuang behind him, and said to Wang Pinmei: "Aunt Wang, this is the person I want to marry." ”

Wang Pinmei sneered: "Qian Qun said that the third young master often doesn't return home at night after marriage, and stays in the tea garden, but coincidentally, you are a tea picker, oh!" I guess you're not just here to pick tea, right? ”

Tong Shuang's face turned pale with anger, but he didn't dare to attack: "Madame doesn't know, Tong Shuang only came to the tea garden a few years ago." ”

Wang Qianqun took Wang Pinmei's hand and said, "Mother doesn't need to be angry about this kind of thing, let her daughter ask." After that, she greeted Tong Shuang with a smile: "It's cold, what are you doing standing?" These subordinates are also not long-sighted. ”

The accompanying maid Wutong immediately placed a stool, and Wang Qianqun said, "Sister sit." ”

Tong Shuang looked at Ye Lu'an, Ye Lu'an nodded, and sat down with confidence. Wang Qianqun said again: "I only ask my sister one thing, the name and Lu'an, which do you want?" ”

How did Tong Shuang know that she would ask like this, and her face turned red: "If there is no such person, the reputation is empty." ”

Wang Qianqun said with a smile: "It can be seen that my sister has a heart for Lu'an, but for the sake of my mother's reputation, I can't leave Yefu, but how can I bear to make Lu'an sad, if my sister doesn't like it, it's good to make a side room?" In this way, it doesn't live up to this piece of sincerity. ”

Mrs. Wang smiled: "If you want to say that this girl Qianqun is a good governor." ”

Mrs. Ye saw that the Wang family was decided, and the paper marriage letter was really difficult to handle, so she didn't bother to say anything, but said, "Look at the children's own meaning." ”

Ye Lu'an was overjoyed, and Tong Shuang thought about it and said, "Such a big thing still needs to be discussed by Shuang'er and Daddy." ”

Wang Qianqun said with a smile: "My sister should be earlier, my sister likes my sister tightly, so it's good to come to Yefu to be a companion." ”
