Wedges, heavy rain

In May, Lianghe Town was looking forward to the first rainstorm, and the bean-sized raindrops smashed the glazed tiles on the roof of the Ye Mansion, crackling.

The vermilion gate that was washed by the rain and stained with water opened open, and Ye Lusheng, the eldest young master of the Ye family, came out with an oil-paper umbrella scolding, Rao is so, and the black robe is also wet.

Mrs. Ye was supported by the maid Xiaoyan and stood under the porch, she hugged the family who was about to chase: "Close the door, I'll see if his hard wings are still hard away from my Ye family!" ”

First, the Ye family in Lianghe Town

The rainstorms in May came and went as fast as they came, and only one or two o'clock in the morning was dripping from the eaves.

Lianghe Town has resumed its liveliness during the day yesterday, and the streets and alleys are full of people. The Ye Mansion in the middle of the street opened the gate, and the two stone lions at the door were angry and mighty.

Is there anyone in this Lianghe Town who doesn't know Yefu? I heard that when the grandfather of the Ye Mansion was there, he was involved with a certain minister in the Qing Dynasty Palace and made a lot of money. Later, the foreigners entered the Celestial Empire, and the minister was pulled from his position by Cixi, which was considered to be completely ousted, but the Ye Mansion started a business with the foreigners, and everything was sold and bought for tea and tobacco, and the Ye family's industry became wider and bigger.

Outsiders said to their faces that they congratulated Master Ye on making a fortune, but behind their backs, they didn't know how many red mouths and white teeth they had exposed, saying that Ye Fu had to suffer retribution for making money from the countrymen.

Retribution came quickly, Ye Lu'an, the third young master of the Ye family, had just married the youngest daughter of the Wang family, and Master Ye went.

After Mrs. Ye buried Master Ye, she didn't say who she would inherit the family business to, but she took care of the family affairs by herself.

The Ye family has four young masters, one girl, the eldest young master and the eldest lady Ye Rong are from Mrs. Ye, the second young master Ye Luying is from Mrs. Wang, and the third young master and the fourth young master Ye Luhuan are from Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin went a few years ago, and Mrs. Ye sent Ye Luhuan to the UK to study; And Ye Luying devoted herself to the Buddha, regardless of Mrs. Wang's death, and went to Lingtai Mountain to become a monk; Ye Rong married into another big family in Lianghe Town, the Li family.

As a result, only the eldest young master and the third young master Ye Lu'an were left in the Ye Mansion.

However, Ye Lusheng has no interest in the family business, and only eats wine and touches cards with his fox friends and dog friends every day. Old Madam Ye only sighed in private: "Son! Son! ”

However, Ye Lu'an is a good businessman, and the Ye family tea garden that Ye Lusheng takes care of has benefited again and again, which makes his peers' eyes very hot.

Mrs. Ye is not afraid in her heart, she has been in Ye Mansion for thirty years, since Master Ye left, she looked at the increasingly old face in the diorama every night, and her heart was tense for a while.

She understood that although Ye Luying had entered the empty door, Mrs. Wang still coveted the position of the Ye family, and Mrs. Lin passed Ye Lu'an to Mrs. Wang before she died, which invisibly added power to Mrs. Wang.

A few days ago, a relative of the Li family came to someone from Caojiazhuang, and it happened that Ye Rong returned to her mother's house, she said so, and Mrs. Ye asked, "What is the situation of this Cao family." ”

Ye Rong put down the teacup and took a silk silk to wipe her mouth: "My daughter looked at it coldly, although the Cao family is guarding the ancestral field to eat and has little power, this business is bigger than the Li family." ”

Old Madam Ye raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Ye Rong waved her hand and put the waiting maid back: "I heard what Li Sheng said, this Cao family seems to be guarding the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty!" ”

Mrs. Ye sneered: "It can be seen that you are talking nonsense, the Cao family and the Aixin Jueluo family are separated by a heavy mountain, and the Cao family does not have a concubine, Fujin." ”

Ye Rong also pursed her lips and smiled: "It's just a strange thing, mother, why are you asking this?" ”

Mrs. Ye didn't answer, and said: You go to see your brother and persuade him to accept his temperament, and what does it look like if he doesn't marry a wife at twenty-seven......

Ye Rong followed the maid Xiaoyan to Ye Lusheng's courtyard, and Xiaofei asked Ye Rong to wait in the front hall and went into the inner room to spread the word.

When Ye Lusheng came out with Xiao Yan, he was full of alcohol, and his personal maid followed behind.

Ye Rong frowned: "Brother, what's the matter?" Miaoren bowed slightly: "I drank with the young master of the Zhang family last night, and I only came back this morning." ”

Ye Rong walked in front of Miao Ren, and raised her hand to slap him: "Cheap hooves!" The Ye family asked you to take care of the eldest young master, that's how you took care of it? ”

Since Miaoren followed Ye Lusheng, when did he suffer this kind of grievance? Immediately wanted to confess a few words, Xiao Yan pulled her sleeve at the right time: "The eldest young master and young master Zhang are friends, and there are occasional drunk, and Sister Miaoren doesn't know that the eldest lady is coming today, so I'm afraid I'll be a little looser." ”

Ye Rong squinted and looked over: "It's a talker, okay, go down." ”

As soon as he got out of the house, Miao Ren pulled the silk and shouted: "It's just a married woman, the water spilled by the married daughter, what is she doing so vigorously?" Xiao Yan hurriedly covered her mouth: "Sister, Hugh has to talk nonsense." Others heard it, and it was another storm. Only one thing, since my sister understands this principle, I will wait a little longer, and when the eldest young master takes my sister in and becomes a young grandmother, who will I be afraid of when the time comes? ”

The words were so wonderful that the face was red and the ears were red, and he smiled and hated: "Poor mouth, look for a fight!" The two of them laughed and laughed.

Ye Rong helped Ye Lusheng up and instructed his subordinates to go to the kitchen to fry a bowl of hot decanting soup. After waiting for no one around, Ye Rong said, "Big brother, don't pretend to be drunk in front of your sister." ”

Ye Lusheng's eyes really widened and stood up: "I still can't hide it from my sister, my sister is okay?" ”

Ye Rong sneered: "What's good! The Li family is not as good as our Ye family, and I have been there for all these years just to live a hard life. But since I'm a daughter's family, I don't have to worry about this, but I heard from my mother that my eldest brother has always refused to take care of the family business, which makes me annoyed. ”

Ye Lusheng frowned in disgust, pulled a towel and wiped his face: "The third brother has this ability, why didn't my mother give it to him, I don't love these things." ”

Ye Rong asked, "Don't love it?" If you don't have these things, can you still go to eat, drink, listen to music, gamble and watch plays? ”

Ye Lusheng hurriedly smiled and said, "The third brother is in charge of the family business, can't I do the same?" ”

Ye Rong sighed: "Big brother, if the third brother robs this business, won't Wang Niang come up, do you think you and your mother will be able to stay at that time?" ”

Ye Lusheng wanted to say a few words, but Ye Rong got up and left: "Big brother, sister, I get married, and I can't take care of the family's affairs, but the powerful eldest brother thinks about it himself!" ”

Ye Lusheng stood in the front hall, a little stunned.
