Chapter 40: Chinese New Year's Eve

The courtyard where Ye Yunshui settled temporarily was half larger than her meditation residence in Ye Mansion, Xu was specially cleaned up for her arrival, and two rough maids and two gatekeepers were specially left in the courtyard, Ye Yunshui let Chunyue reward the four people, and let them go down.

Chunyue and Hua'er served Ye Yunshui to rest, and Mother Su took Xiaofang to meet her old friends in the mansion, Ye Yunshui closed her eyes but did not feel sleepy, she had two things in her heart, one was why Chen Fu suddenly picked her up on the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, and second, the attitude of several aunts.

If it is said that because Ye Mansion is Ye Yunshui's biological mother's sacrifice, and it coincides with Ye Yunshui's marriage, Chen Mansion is reluctant to say that it is reasonable to reunite Ye Yunshui in order to save face, after all, Ye Chongtian had come to Chen Mansion before, and Xu reached a consensus with Chen Mansion, but the attitude of these aunts really made Ye Yunshui puzzled, she wrote a letter to her eldest aunt and fourth uncle, but it was not the second uncle in charge, but the enthusiasm of the second aunt today made Ye Yunshui a little confused, Su's mother once said that her biological mother had a cold relationship with the second uncle, Moreover, the second aunt is mean and stingy, and she is not very tolerant, and her background is a little arrogant that is not like ordinary people, but today the second aunt treats her more enthusiastically than several other aunts, and even surpasses the eldest aunt who has the best relationship with Ye Yunshui's biological mother, which makes Ye Yunshui a little confused.

There is pity in the eyes of the eldest aunt, this Ye Yunshui can understand, and why is the enthusiasm of the second aunt? Even this enthusiasm has some flattering meaning, she is a housewife to a niece who has an indifferent relationship, it seems that she doesn't need to be so enthusiastic, right? Say it's for others to see? But the older generation is long gone, and she can't stage this family drama!

And the behavior of the third and fourth aunts is very normal, with distance in politeness.

Ye Yunshui was a little puzzled, why was she the second aunt?

Ye Yunshui rested for a while, and then heard a boo outside the door, and said, "Come in, I'm awake." ”

It was Xiaofang and Chunyue who spoke, and when they heard Ye Yunshui's call, they came in to serve her to freshen up, and Chunyue added, "The people of the Chen Mansion came to hang Chinese New Year's Eve lanterns in the courtyard." ”

Ye Yunshui nodded, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, they are so clean, but the Chen Mansion is festive and busy, Ye Yunshui saw Xiaofang but did not see Mother Su, so he asked: "Why didn't you follow Mother Su?" ”

Xiaofang replied: "After I came back with Mother Su, the second uncle's wife sent someone to invite Mother Su to come over, and did not let the slave and maid follow. ”

Second aunt? What did she do when she summoned Su's mother over? Ye Yunshui was a little puzzled, and let Chunyue and Xiaofang help her wash and comb, since Mama Gong's teaching, Chunyue deliberately put hard work into combing her hair, and now she can comb some complicated buns, Xiaofang is a little red on the side, but she can only start.

At this time, it was the beginning of Shen, Ye Yunshui was thinking about Su's mother, and outside was the second uncle's eldest maid Nian Xue and Su's mother entered the yard together, Nian Xue saw Ye Yunshui was dressing up and stepped forward and said, "Miss Ye can you rest?" The old man and the young master have already returned, waiting for Miss Ye to come over. ”

Ye Yunshui looked over, Su's mother nodded slightly towards her, Ye Yunshui was relieved, "There is Miss Lao Nianxue, you take a break, I will clean it up immediately." ”

Hua'er led Nianxue to a small table next to her to eat snacks, Ye Yunshui asked Su's mother to come over to help with the noodles, Su's mother whispered in Ye Yunshui's ear: "Tell me to ask the eldest girl about her daily trivialities," Su's mother paused, "and specially asked about the last time you went to the temple to recuperate." ”

Ye Yunshui's heart froze, "What are you asking?" ”

Mother Su was about to say again, Nian Xue had already come towards them at this time, although Ye Yunshui rewarded her with snacks, but the slave maid didn't dare to take it big, just meaninglessly.

Ye Yunshui can't whisper to Mother Su at the moment, as long as he puts this question in his stomach for the time being, and follows Nian Xue to lead the way, heading towards the main hall of the inner house.

Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the way to the main hall is full of joy, red lanterns are hung high, colorful stripes are hung on the branches, and a large red blessing character is pasted upside down on the wall at intervals of a few meters, taking the homonym of "blessing".

When the servants met, they all paid respects to the early years in advance, and Ye Yunshui, the small sedan chair, listened to more than a dozen New Year's greetings along the way, and she let Chunyue reward people and ask for good luck.

The main hall was very lively at this time, as soon as Ye Yunshui's sedan chair fell, there were little cousins who had seen it during the day shouting "Cousin is here", Ye Yunshui was helped into the house by the maids and sisters-in-law, and it was the second aunt who was laughing in the main hall, seeing Ye Yunshui coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him a few steps, and asked with a smile: "Can you rest?" I was just talking to your uncles about you, so I came and saw you. ”

Ye Yunshui followed the guidance of his second aunt to a middle-aged man in his forties, "This is your second uncle." ”

Ye Yunshui stepped forward to salute, and the second uncle just nodded, "It's good to come back, it's long overdue to get together." ”

"This is the eldest sister's widow? It's seven or eight points like the eldest sister. It was the third uncle who spoke, Ye Yunshui stepped forward to salute, she didn't hear Mother Su mention this third uncle, but now it seems that he is a living man.

The third uncle only looked at Ye Yunshui, but kept smiling, Ye Yunshui asked her fourth uncle who had already met before, but the fourth uncle didn't say much, and he didn't show too much concern.

There are five or six brothers, but there are only two people who are older than Ye Yunshui, Chen Yaozu and Chen Yaoyang, born to the eldest aunt and the second aunt respectively, have already started a family, Chen Yaozu has a one-year-old son, held in his arms by his mother, Ye Yunshui gave her cousin-in-law and little nephew a big gift, Chen Yaozu thanked him on behalf of his wife and children.

The other three brothers are only one or two years younger than Ye Yunshui, and they are the sons of the third and fourth uncles, respectively, and the youngest Chen Yaohui, who is one year old, was born to the aunt of the fourth uncle.

Ye Yunshui saw them one by one, and gave them the gifts that had already been prepared, and all the brothers also gave their own gifts, and they were only curious about this cousin, or they were bland, only the third uncle's sister-in-law Chen Yaochong showed a little disdain, maybe he heard a lot of rumors outside, but Ye Yunshui didn't take it to heart.

"Your cousins are all married, and you won't be able to come back until the second year of junior high school, so I'm afraid you won't see each other for a while." The eldest aunt said with some emotion that she also had two daughters, one married in Nirjang City, and the other married in a foreign country.

The second aunt said, "Yes, I also miss Ziyu, her mother-in-law's family wrote from her family last month saying that she was happy, but she can't come back this year." ”

"Can you prepare a tonic to send it?" The eldest aunt asked with concern, Ziyu is the daughter of the second aunt.

"I've been prepared for a long time, even the little clothes for the four seasons." The second aunt replied, but waved her hand and smiled, "Look at what I said about this, delayed the meal, hurry up and enter the table, this meal is eaten, and there is a Chinese New Year's Eve dumpling." ”

The atmosphere of this meal was lively, and it was not half embarrassing because of Ye Yunshui, an outsider, who suddenly joined, and the reason was that the second aunt stirred up the atmosphere, Ye Yunshui was more and more puzzled in his heart about what the second aunt was trying to do, not only was his attitude extremely enthusiastic, but he also specially called Su's mother to ask......

After the meal, several aunts and uncles got together to play leaf cards, the two daughters-in-law waited on the side, Ye Yunshui sat and watched, and found a reason to go to Xiaojie and called Su's mother to accompany her, for some reason, she always had a feeling of uneasiness in her heart, as if something would happen.

Mother Su naturally knew what Ye Yunshui meant, and when the two walked to no man's land, Mother Su replied softly: "There is something strange, and I asked you in detail about your journey to the temple." ”

Ye Yunshui was stunned in his heart, even Su's mother felt strange, then things were not so simple, but what was this for? Not only is the second uncle abnormal, but even his uncles are a little surprised by their performance, the eldest uncle is the same as the second aunt, with some enthusiasm, and the third uncle seems to be so lively, although he is smiling, he can still feel the distance, the fourth uncle she has seen before.

Of all the people I saw today, what made Ye Yunshui feel abnormal the most was that none of them, whether it was an uncle, aunt or brother or sister, mentioned Ye Yunshui's marriage, which was the biggest abnormality.

No matter how good or bad Ye Yunshui marries, it is a family affair after all, and Ye Chongtian has come to the Chen Mansion to meet with his uncles before, if they don't want to get involved in this matter that outsiders criticize, then they won't take themselves to the Chen Mansion for reunion, even if they come, but they don't mention it, what is in their hearts? Is it because they care about Ye Yunshui's decency and don't want to rub salt on her wounds, or do they think in their hearts that Ye Yunshui and Shangqing's mansion will not succeed?

Thinking of this, even Ye Yunshui herself felt very scared, and she put her thoughts on the original starting point, that is, the part of the temple that her second aunt asked about, the temple...... Temple ...... Ye Yunshui's heart tightened, the only special thing she did in the temple was probably to save the prince, but outsiders didn't know about it!

"The second uncle's maiden brother is from the Northwest Army?" Ye Yunshui's brows tightened, and he looked at Mother Su with an anxious gaze in his eyes.

Mother Su didn't know why Ye Yunshui suddenly asked about this, so she nodded and said, "Yes, her maternal brother is the commander of the Northwest Army. ”

Ye Yunshui almost exclaimed, it was him! It's definitely him! This matter must have something to do with the prince!

"Is Cousin Ye here?"

Ye Yunshui suddenly heard someone calling her, so she tried to suppress the fear in her heart, Su's mother straightened her clothes for her, and the two went to the courtyard, but saw that it was Chen Yaozu's daughter-in-law Jingya and Chen Yaoyang's daughter-in-law Wenlian looking for her everywhere.
