Chapter 898: The Cousin Who Came to the Door
Qian Junbao's heart was full of many, many doubts, and he was depressed, but there was no one to tell.
The living habits he has developed since he was a child have always restrained himself and never indulged his temper.
He is not like the Fifth Moche, who can disguise himself with a twink, nor is he like Mozer, who can vent himself with killing on the battlefield.
And Ye Qing, who is his closest lover, can't tell everything to her.
There seems to be no key in this world that can give him the key to untie the knot, he can only be more miserable, and he can only silently hide everything in the depths of his heart and let the pain roll and suffer.
Thinking of this, he reached out and rubbed his brow, which was beginning to ache.
After a while, he opened the Tao Te Ching and read it silently, although he didn't find anything for a while, his heart slowly calmed down.
......................
And Ye Qing's side, she was thinking about Aunt Dongqu at the moment.
Listening to the meaning of Daoist Feibai's words before, the reason for the death of the old grandmother of the Xie family seems to be a bit hidden?
But what he said was mock-proof, and I don't know if the grandmother of the Xie family died of malaria!
This time, Dongqu didn't come with her, and I couldn't learn more about her aunt.
But she didn't know whether to continue to investigate.
After all, there is the old man's instructions first, the old man has already died of illness, even if he knows the truth, it will not help, more things are better than less things?
………………
Chongyang.
Ye Wenliang left the Qian Mansion with a somewhat gloomy face.
He came here for Ye Ping, his son is going to Jianzhou for the autumn exam, in addition to being entangled, he also has to visit the county school and meet a few more promising students in Jianzhou.
In order to do this, he must prepare silver, although his position as vice president of the academy has been retained, but the silver obtained from selling the restaurant has been taken away by the young master of Na Niu.
Now the silver he can take out is really pitiful, and he originally wanted to discuss with Qian Junbao on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival and let him take Ye Ping to Jianzhou together.
By the way, I borrowed some silver, but I didn't expect that day to be disturbed by my own wife for the second child's business.
No, when the husband and wife left, they didn't bring a letter to them at all.
Seeing that today is already twenty-two, it is only a few days before the start of the exam, and it will be too late to go to Jianzhou now.
He had no choice but to come to Ye Wenshan in person to borrow some silver, and then accompany Ye Ping to Jianzhou.
It's just that he didn't get the amount he wanted this time, and the fifth child only gave him a hundred taels of silver, saying that it was a little bit of Uncle Ye Ping's heart, and he didn't need to pay him back.
As for borrowing more, no.
When Ye Qing left, he didn't leave him any silver, and all the silver expenses of the Qian Mansion were also under the control of Qian Shanbo's housekeeper during this time.
Ye Wenliang stood at the gate of the Qian Mansion, glanced at the tall plaque, and sighed faintly, "Forget it." ”
Now is different from the past, and he can also see that the fifth child has changed a little.
And he has the knot of the private restaurant in his heart, and when he has been facing the fifth child for a long time, he is always a little worried that he will not even have to be a brother after he knows it!
Sighing again, Ye Wenliang slowly left here.
As soon as he walked on his front feet, a small carriage with a brown bamboo canopy stopped at the door of the Qian Mansion.
"Master Ye, there is a kind-faced woman outside, with a girl about seven or eight years old by her side, saying that she is coming to find your ......"
The new Steward Lu said to Ye Wenshan, who was pruning the potted plants.
This is the Qian Mansion, and the people all call Ye Wenshan Master Ye, so as not to misunderstand!
Ye Wenshan was stunned for a moment, "The woman is still carrying a female baby, didn't you ask who they are?" ”
"Back to Master Ye's words, the porter has already asked, they said that they are your relatives, but they look at it again, and they haven't seen it before. That's why the porter didn't let them in directly......"
Ye Wenshan stopped what he was doing, thought for a while and said, "Then let people come in first, and then arrange it in the flower hall in a while." ”
"Yes, Master Ye." Steward Lu bowed calmly and turned to leave.
After a while, a beautiful woman dressed in decent clothes walked into the Qian Mansion with a timid girl in her hand.
As soon as the women entered, they looked around at the various furnishings of the Qian Mansion, and the family arranged them in the flower hall, and went down to prepare tea.
The woman's eyes turned from side to side even more unscrupulously, and her eyes were full of greed.
Ye Wenshan and Ye Xi walked in one after the other.
Ye Xi heard that a beautiful woman came to the door with a little girl to find his father, so he came over to see who it was.
Ye Wenshan didn't have a ghost in his heart, so he didn't stop him.
As soon as the woman saw Ye Wenshan walking in, she immediately twisted her waist, smiled and took a step closer and shouted, "Ah! Wenshan, you're here.
They all said that you sent it, I didn't believe it at first, but it really opened my eyes when I saw it today, this is much better than the house you used to live in on South Street.
I didn't expect that you and Leek Sprout really have the ability, and they have changed so much. ”
Look at how luxuriously this flower hall is arranged, the furniture is made of yellow rosewood, those vase decorations must be worth a lot, and then look at the atmospheric painting in the middle of the hall......
Tsk, not to mention how generous it is here, just such a large mansion and so many servants must cost a lot of silver.
The daughter-in-law suddenly died, the family became depressed again, and the daughter became a fat and ugly fool and a poor sour talent, and she turned into the richest person in the entire Chong'an Town.
lives in the largest house, and there are countless subordinates to call, if she was desperate to remarry him at that time, and not let the ugly Huang family go to the door of the Ye family, now she has her share in all this.
Fortunately, I heard that the Huang family has reconciled with Ye Wenshan, and he still has a great chance.
The more Liang Wumei thought about it, the more excited she became, and she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Who are you?"
A somewhat cold voice sounded, and Liang Wumei was thrilled and came back to her senses from her dream.
"Oh, Brother Wenshan, I haven't seen you for two years, and you forgot about me, it's too ruthless.
I'm your cousin Meimei, you used to call me Meimei......"
Your Rose Cousin...... Ye Xi, who heard this, stood up with goosebumps all over his body, this pretentious voice was really disgusting.
I don't know, I thought she came out of the Red Pavilion of the Green Building.
"This aunt, if I asked, my father didn't speak!" Ye Xi touched his cold arm.
"Oh, this isn't Xi'er! I'm so tall that I can't even recognize them. I'm not your aunt, you have to call me aunt......"
Liang Wumei immediately faced Ye Xi and smiled a little.
Ye Xi looked at her and felt that her teeth were sore!
He remembered who this woman was, the third aunt Xiao Liang's own sister, the youngest sister.
Twenty-six years old, married a barefoot doctor whose parents died a few years ago, as if the doctor was suddenly bitten to death by a wild beast two years ago.
She was widowed and took her daughter to live at her third aunt's house for a month, but then she left Xiushui Village for some reason.
Ye Wenshan was calm, his face did not change, but he frowned slightly and said: "Cousin Wu Mei, you are not married far away, and you are coming back to visit relatives this time?" ”
Liang Wumei's face froze, and she smiled a little uncomfortably, "I...... Well, I'm here to join my cousin. ”
"Take refuge?" He was puzzled, if he wanted to take refuge, he should also take refuge in his third sister-in-law?
"I ...... I was sorry for you before, but my eldest sister intended to let me live a good life with you, and also wanted me to take good care of your children.
In fact, I was very willing at that time, but my father didn't want me to suffer with you, so he forced me to marry someone else......"
As soon as she talked about the past, she gushed endlessly, but she also said that what she had done was forced to be helpless.
And her mother died very early, her father died last year, and the eldest sister is soft-hearted, and now she can say anything.
"Wait a minute, Cousin Wu Mei, don't mention the past.
I'm going to the academy in a while, so if you have something to say here, just say it. ”
Ye Wenshan meant to make her make a long story short, they were not so familiar, and besides, he had long forgotten all about the past.
Halfway through speaking, she was suddenly interrupted, and Liang Wumei was a little unhappy.
"Didn't I say I came to you?
Our mother and daughter came back to you from thousands of miles away, you should hurry up and ask the next person to clean up the house for our mother and daughter to live in!
By the way, this is my daughter Shuyue, who is nine years old this year, and you have hugged her before.
Come...... Yueyue, call my cousin, let's live here in the future. ”
She really didn't treat herself as an outsider, and put on a posture of a hostess, and Ye Xi on the side was a little stunned.
This is his sister and brother-in-law's house, right?
Why do you make it look like this woman's house?
"Cousin." Xiao Shuyue, who lost two teeth, shouted softly, and then timidly hid behind her mother.
Ye Wenshan looked stunned, "Wait, did I say let you stay?" Are you thinking too much, this is the Qian Mansion, my daughter's husband's house. ”
She also wants to take refuge with her third sister-in-law?
And most importantly, this is not his home at all, this is his son-in-law's house, what right does he have to let a cousin who is not a relative live here?
Not to mention the relationship between him and her, it can't meet the conditions for letting her live here, and even if he can, he is a hundred unwilling.
When I saw him, he looked rejected.
Liang Wumei was not happy at the moment, her mouth was crooked, she pinched the flower handkerchief in her hand and said: "I'm desperate, you still refuse to help me?"
Can you really bear to see me and Yueyue on the streets? ”
After speaking, her eyes were red, she wiped her eyes without tears under her eyes with a handkerchief, and a pair of almond eyes that were slightly larger than ordinary people looked at Ye Wenshan with a charming look.
"Cousin, you're not desperate, don't you still have my third sister-in-law and your two brothers?
Also, look at the fabric of your clothes is also good, and the ones you wear on your hands, hairpins in your hair, and your ears are hanging, so you don't need a dozen taels of silver, and it doesn't look like you can't afford to eat.
What's more, I'm a foreigner here, and I'm going to have to move to Xiushui Village soon, and you're not my closest relative, so it's too strange to say that you want to take refuge in me and live here. ”
Ye Xi almost burst out laughing, so he had to quickly cover his mouth tightly with his hand.
When can Daddy's mouth say this, it's still right for a woman.
Didn't you see that Liang Wumei's face was already bruised like an eggplant?
Liang Wumei, who was exposed in person and rejected fiercely, stiffened her face, and said with some embarrassment: "These are ...... It's all the only thing I have,
I...... I want to dress decently to see you, and these are also for Yueyue in the future.
You also know that my eldest sister and her family live in a small house, how can there be a place for me and Yueyue to live, and my brother and brother have no extra places for us to live.
I won't drag them down, you are so big here, dozens of houses, can't you still accommodate our orphans and widows in distress?
Don't tell me anything, if you want to move to Xiushui Village, who doesn't know that your son-in-law treats you like his own father, otherwise how would he move from the huge county town to settle down in this small town! ”
When she came, she inquired, although she also knew that the eldest sister's family seemed to be living better than before, but the eldest sister's family still lived in the original house in the village, and there was no maid to serve her, so she didn't want to go.
What's more, she is still a little afraid of the sisters of Meizi and Yingzi.
Damn it! This Ye Wenshan should accept her happily, what do you keep rejecting her?
Could it be that after less than two years, she has become a little uglier?
But when she came, she also looked in the mirror several times, and she was still very charming?
She is a person who will not treat herself badly, in fact, she didn't look down on Ye Wenshan and didn't want to remarry him.
It wasn't Liang Laohan who forced her to marry thousands of miles away.
Instead, she herself fell in love with a merchant who was a merchant and followed him out of Chongyang.
It's just that although the merchant has two coins on him, he is a little unsatisfactory to her in the matter of husband and wife.
As time passed, she became more and more empty......
In the end, I had a little greasy with a handsome little merchant.
Although he didn't go any further with the merchant, he somehow found out about her, beat her, and immediately sold her to that kind of place.
Liang Wumei was afraid, begged for everything, pretended to be aggrieved, and swore to the sky that she would never mess around behind his back.
I am willing to bow down in front of him in the future, and serve him as a slave and a servant.
As long as he kept her by his side, the merchant was not a very bad-minded person, thinking about a hundred days of husband and wife, but in the end he calmed down and did not sell her.
But Liang Wumei was resentful, and after a period of time, she took advantage of the fact that the merchant was drenched in the rain and fell ill with a fever, so she simply found poisonous flowers and plants to boil them into potions and fed him.
After only seven or eight days, the merchant was dead.
The poisonous weed, a chronic poison, when he died, the symptoms were very similar to the appearance of heart failure because of a fever all the time, and he actually concealed the pretend of coming to the autopsy.
Because the merchant had no fixed residence and no other family, Liang Wumei became his surviving person.
In order to hide people's eyes, Liang Wumei also pretended to be affectionate and bought a thick coffin to bury him.
Then she took all the possessions left by the merchant and took everything she could, and with all her belongings, she went to the state capital next door, wanting to find a family to marry again.
It's just that she has a daughter, she is relatively older, and she is really rich, even if she wants to marry a wife and take a concubine, she must be an innocent young woman.
In addition, she was accustomed to spending lavishly, and wanted to buy anything she saw, and gradually no amount of silver was enough to spend, and soon more than ninety percent of the wealth she had obtained from the merchant was spent on her.
