Chapter 11: My Aunt's Visit
Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Yunshui dressed up and went to the old lady's house to ask for peace first, and before he entered the courtyard, he heard bursts of noise and laughter coming from the old lady's middle courtyard. Ye Yunshui said in his heart: In order to coax the old lady, the two old men and their families did not hesitate to pretend to be harlequins, and they really worked hard, but they didn't know how much pure filial piety there was.
Ye Yunshui slowed down the pace of entering the courtyard, and when the laughter in the main room almost died down, he asked people to pull the curtain in, "Hello to grandmother, mother is fine, second uncle and second aunt are fine." ”
"Yunshui came late today, and I didn't see your second uncle playing shadow puppets just now, but it's funny." The old lady smiled and asked the maid to move the chair for her, and it could be seen that the old lady was really happy this morning.
Ye Yunshui sat down with a smile and didn't squeak, she could wait outside the courtyard just to avoid seeing the second uncle playing a harlequin, and she couldn't reply to the old lady's words, what did she say? said that the second uncle acted well, the old lady was happy, the second uncle and the lobby brother probably thought that they were secretly sarcastic about them, and Ye Zhang's would think that he was an outsider, so this is not the case.
"His second uncle is also used to these folk tricks when he is away all the year round, but he is not as old-fashioned as his eldest brother." Ye Zhang's saw that Ye Yunshui didn't say anything, but he answered in a strange way.
"Sister-in-law praised it." The second master thanked him, but Ye Yunshui admired his determination to listen to anything as a good word.
"It's done, I know that you are trying to make my old wife happy, take it quickly, you are still making trouble like a child at such an old age, and you are not afraid that the children will laugh at you for being disrespectful, even your daughter-in-law will follow you to eat melons." The thrush gently calmed the old lady's breath, and just now she laughed too much, but now she coughed a few times.
"If I can make the old lady laugh, I will let go of this face." Ye Jiang covered his mouth and smiled lightly, but his eyes were crooked with a smile, as if they were two and a half crescents, which was very cute.
Ye Yunshui saw Ye Xiaoyun behind Ye Jiang with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the emerald green beside the old lady had been secretly aiming at him with his eyes.
"Isn't the boss home today?" The old lady swept around the house, and Ye Chongtian was the only one missing.
"Back to the old lady, he was summoned into the palace before dawn, saying that a noble man was sick." Ye Zhang's cold eyes glanced at Ye Jiang's family, and continued, "The nobles in the palace all rely on him, and this summons is not divided into morning and evening, morning and evening, and he has to go, even if it is Xiu Mu, it is not wrong. ”
"Big brother has worked hard all these years." The second master can speak, Ye Jiang was silent, and the old lady just sighed, "Yes, the boss has suffered a lot of grievances for the family over the years, so the nobles in the palace are all so wanting?" It's too late, and it's cold for breakfast when you go back to the yard, so you can use it with me today." ”
Xu was because the old lady said a fair word, Ye Zhang's face was not as ugly as just now, accompanied the old lady to the dining room, turned his head and saw Ye Yunshui following behind, so he said, "In the morning, I sent someone to my mother's house to invite my niece's palace grandmother, Xu is there in the evening, Gong Mama is my mother's family is the teaching grandmother, the best at teaching the rules, many big families in Nirvana have invited her to do the teaching, in the future, the old lady here you only need to come over in the morning and evening to show your face, I don't have to go there deliberately, Follow Mama to learn the rules carefully, and when you are about to get married, your wedding dress must be embroidered as soon as possible. ”
Ye Yunshui didn't expect Ye Zhang's movements to be so fast, she was even happier not to go out in the yard, "Everything is up to my mother, where is the second sister?" ”
Ye Zhang's Xu forgot that Ye Qianru also wanted a classmate, and now if she doesn't follow now, she will have to ask Ye Qianru for a single order, which will cost two dollars, and now the sisters can save a red envelope together, the grandmother in this palace is very expensive, and after a little thought, Ye Zhang's made up his mind: "I'll let her go to your yard when I go back." ”
Ye Yunshui nodded in response, she didn't say much when the goal was achieved, she didn't think that she would definitely be wearing small shoes in the matter of learning the rules, but she was happy to have Ye Qianru suffer with her, Ye Yunshui didn't think that Ye Zhang's family could have any good intentions, firstly, she was afraid that she would be embarrassed if she married and did not understand the rules, and secondly, she was just showing off the strength of her mother's family to the second room.
For breakfast, because the second old man's family had eaten more than usual for half an hour, the housekeeper in the courtyard came to Ye Zhang's family to return the income and expenditure of the mansion this month, and the old lady let everyone disperse.
Ye Yunshui returned to Jing Siju, so that Chunyue called Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang had been an embroiderer before, Ye Yunshui was very uninterested in embroidering the wedding dress by hand, and planned to send this job to Mrs. Zhang, the person she married was not what she wanted, she didn't have that good mood, not to mention that she knew the embroidery needle, but the embroidery needle didn't know her, in the temple, she also took it over and compared it for a while when she saw the spring moon embroidering purse, but unfortunately this job really requires strong patience, she really didn't.
As soon as she explained the work, someone came to the courtyard, it was a little maid that Ye Yunshui had never seen before, it was Aunt Chen from the West Courtyard who wanted to come and see the eldest girl, and asked the eldest girl if she had time, Ye Yunshui wondered in her heart, she had no impression of the three aunts in the house in her memory, and this Aunt Chen had never heard anyone mention it, how could she suddenly find it today?
Ye Yunshui had doubts but couldn't refuse her, so he asked Chunyue to follow her and asked Aunt Chen to come over and talk about it.
"Mother Su, who is this Aunt Chen? How come I haven't heard of it before? Ye Yunshui can only ask the nurse where Aunt Chen came from first, lest she don't know if she doesn't know when people arrive, and she will offend people again if she says anything inappropriate.
Su's mother was stunned, and then relieved, "It's normal for the eldest girl not to remember her, she hasn't come out often over the years, she is your biological mother's dowry maid, and then opened her face and raised her aunt, she was pregnant with a child, but when your biological mother died of illness, she was waiting for a miscarriage recently, I heard that it was still a baby boy, after the old man continued to marry the current lady, she lived in a simple house, and rarely appeared in front of people." ”
Ye Yunshui didn't expect Aunt Chen to have this relationship with herself, so she asked Su's mother to comb her hair again and pull a very elegant bun, Su's mother opened the makeup box for her to wear on her head, Ye Yunshui saw the blood jade unicorn pendant, which was left by the person she saved at the beginning, Ye Yunshui suddenly remembered those deep eyes, and his heart trembled. Let Mother Su put the jade pendant back in a place, although I don't know the identity of that person, but this thing is extraordinary, it's better not to leave it on the surface.
While speaking, Aunt Chen entered the courtyard, and Ye Yunshui personally went out to welcome her in, but she was a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old woman, and she could see that she had a good appearance when she was young, but now she was wearing a dark jacket, and her face was not specially modified and her face looked a little pale.
"Big girl is well." Aunt Chen's voice was very soft, with a sweetness of some sugar sounds, and the only woman among the aunts who had ever conceived an old man must have been a favored one when she was young.
"Aunt Chen is fine, come into the house and talk, I should have asked Aunt Chen to come and walk around a long time ago, but I was negligent." Ye Yunshui let Aunt Chen into the house and let Chunyue serve good tea.
Aunt Chen picked up the tea bowl and took a sip and put it down gently, but the words were plain and indisputable, "I often make people secretly look at the big girl, and I don't dare to move around at will over the years, my identity is also embarrassing, I don't have to worry about the big girl." ”
"What are you talking about, since you are my biological mother's companion and aunt, you are my elder, I should have compensated you, but I told you to think about it first." Ye Yunshui's words revealed some closeness, but he kept looking at this Aunt Chen in his heart.
"Actually, there is nothing special, I heard that the big girl is ready to go out of the cabinet, so I asked people to pack up some things and add makeup to the big girl, since it is not as good as the house to prepare, but also my mind, just I also found a head to go to see the big girl, and then I will rest assured." Aunt Chen's voice was a little choked up at the end, and she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "Look at me, what is this doing," Aunt Chen pointed to the maid who was waiting next to her, "Give the eldest girl something to take a look." ”
It was a burden, and there was a treasure chest on it, and when it was opened, it was a dark grid, and each grid was full of jewelry, pearls, jade, jade, crystal, ruby sapphires, and two sets of pure gold head jewelry, and there were five goldfish in the bottom box.
Ye Yunshui was shocked in his heart, and then looked at a set of red wedding dresses embroidered with pure gold thread under the burden, and when he opened it to see the golden light, Ye Yunshui's eyes hurt when he opened it!
"Aunt Chen, ...... are you" Ye Yunshui was a little angry in her heart, she wouldn't know that she was married to a side room, how could she give a red gold silk wedding dress? Isn't that embarrassing yourself!
Aunt Chen hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, big girl, I have no other meaning, this wedding dress was left by your biological mother back then, and these jewelry were also rewarded by her back then, I am also borrowing flowers to offer Buddha today, and return things to their original owners." ”
Ye Yunshui put down the things, her heart was complicated, this Aunt Chen had not come to see herself for more than ten years, and as soon as she came to the door, she gave her biological mother's relics, as well as the big red and gold silk wedding dress that her biological mother had worn, she slapped her without slapping her! Doesn't this tell Ye Yunshui that her maternal grandfather's family was born in a famous family, and ordinary people can't catch up with the royal relatives and nobles, and her biological mother never wants to see her daughter being small and marrying such a gentleman.
Ye Yunshui felt that these things were hot, and a wave of irritability surged in her heart for no reason.
The atmosphere in the room dropped suddenly, and Aunt Chen saw Ye Yunshui's silent and tense face and knew that she understood her intentions, "Since the things have been delivered, then I will go back first, and when the eldest girl gets married, I will come to the wedding." ”
"Mother Su, send Aunt Chen for me." Ye Yunshui made Su's mother, which was to give her two a chance to say a few words, and the people who had served her biological mother were a little closer than others.
Aunt Chen is gone, but she has left Ye Yunshui with a problem, is she unwilling to wear a golden red wedding dress and marry the lover in her heart? But the predecessor Ye Yunshui threatened each other with her life, isn't it useless, although she is a soul from elsewhere, but what can she do as a weak woman in this deep mansion compound? Self-protection is a problem, what to fight with Ye Zhang's family? Why fight with Ye Zhang's family? Do you only take the name of the eldest daughter of this Ye Mansion? Ye Yunshui smiled bitterly and shook his head, and at this time, Mother Su had already returned.
