Chapter 59: The Banquet (1)
Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Yunshui just got up and talked back and forth between the flowers and the thrush.
"Yesterday, the slave maid and Sister Thrush gathered all the first-class maids in each yard under the banner of Sister Cuihong, and let the big kitchen set up a table of noodles, and drank some wine, and when she came back, the eldest girl had already slept." Hua'er replied to herself, "The three young masters are also here to serve in the courtyard. ”
"Is there enough money? Don't ask the two of you to pick out of your pockets. Ye Yunshui said while washing.
"It's enough, two taels of silver is not much in the eldest girl's place, but it is the silver money of the other family's family for two months, which is already quite good, and there are some copper coins left, and the slave and maid rewarded the mother-in-law in the kitchen for the eldest girl." The thrush has been working in the house for the longest time, so it is natural to know that the big kitchen is the most miscellaneous place in the house.
Ye Yunshui nodded with satisfaction, if the thrush really did things for her, he was indeed a good helper.
"Did you ask something?" Yeyun Waterway.
The thrush took half a step back, obviously letting the flowers say, Ye Yunshui looked at it in his eyes but remained silent, the thrush was showing weakness, taking half a step back in case of trouble, and not fighting for the limelight.
Seeing the thrush like this, Hua'er stepped forward and said, "Back to the eldest girl, Jinxiu didn't say anything." ”
Ye Yunshui was not surprised by this, "What about the others? ”
Hua'er looked at the thrush, and the thrush stepped forward and said, "...... It's all about miscellaneous and interesting things between the slaves and maids, but the slaves and maids heard Liu Yue in the courtyard of the eldest young master talk about when they returned to Shangqing's mansion, and they thought they would be cold-faced, but it didn't seem to be. ”
"The maid in the courtyard of the second girl said that in addition to the people from the Ye Mansion who went to the Shangqing Mansion yesterday, she also met the son of Lord Huang's family in the Internal Affairs Mansion, saying that she came to see the second son of the Shangqing Mansion, and she also met when she accompanied the second girl to rest in the courtyard." The flowers continued to come back.
"The son-in-law of Lord Huang's family...... Isn't that the grandson of Huang Chong of the Internal Affairs Bureau......" Ye Yunshui seemed to feel a little clueless, but he didn't grasp it very accurately, "Is there anything else?" ”
"It's nothing, but the slave maid inquired about another thing, the eldest son of the Yu family was beaten yesterday, and it seems that he owes someone else." The thrush hears these subtleties very clearly.
Ye Yunshui's brows were furrowed, the Yu family was beaten, it cannot be ruled out that the four families were fighting for the room, "You continue to help me listen." ”
The thrush responded, and she was relieved in her heart, she was one step closer in Ye Yunshui's heart.
After breakfast, Ye Yunshui went to the old lady's yard, and Ye Chongtian was also there at this time.
Seeing Ye Yunshui coming in, the old lady smiled and said, "Always talking about you, you came in, as if you could hear it." ”
Ye Yunshui is not surprised, the topic of Ye Mansion has been her recently.
"What does grandmother do with her granddaughter? The granddaughter has been very well-behaved lately. Ye Yunshui seems to be coquettish.
Ye Chongtian spoke on the side, "Lord Shangqing of the Ministry of Rites made a post early in the morning, and tomorrow he invited the officials of the Ministry of Rites to his house for a gathering, and specially instructed your mother to take you with him, saying that now the wives and ladies in Nirliang City are more curious about you and want to see you." ”
"Yunshui doesn't go out during the day, how can I see my daughter." Ye Yunshui was very surprised by this.
The old lady couldn't help but smile, and said with a little ridicule of Ye Yunshui: "You don't know that a girl's boudoir is not out of the boudoir, but now it is rumored outside that the eldest daughter of the Ye family is a female doctor, and whoever looks at the daughter-in-law can see the happy pulse!" Obviously, I happened to meet Mrs. Nie's daughter-in-law to see a happy pulse, and it was passed down like this, which really made people laugh out of their stomachs! Nowadays, every house is not afraid of having more heirs, but not afraid of having fewer heirs, as soon as this word spreads, they don't want to see you! ”
After the old lady finished speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled, but it really made Ye Yunshui cry and laugh, what is this!
"Anyway, since Lord Zhou personally called me over, I still have to go." Ye Chongtian is colorful.
Ye Yunshui didn't have any reason to refuse, so he asked, "Which homes did you invite?" ”
Ye Chongtian shook his head, obviously he didn't know very well, "It should all be officials and family members of the Ministry of Rites." ”
Ye Yunshui nodded and responded, after a little thought, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials are two systems, and she should not invite people from the Qing Mansion, and she has nothing to worry about, but for some reason, there always seems to be something in this that makes her uneasy?
Ye Yunshui was gossiping with the old lady here, and Ye Zhang's family and the people in the second room also arrived before and after.
Listening to Ye Chongtian talk about the banquet of Lord Zhou of the Ministry of Rites, Ye Zhang's eyes lit up, although he knew that this matter was stained with the light of Ye Yunshui being married by the Queen Mother, but joining the circle of Mrs. Guan was Ye Zhang's long-cherished wish, in the past, only because of his insufficient identity, he was always excluded in this circle, and every year the Lord of the Ministry of Rites invited him to banquet without anything in Ye Mansion, but now he not only personally called Ye Chongtian to say, but also gave a post to the house, that is different.
“…… The daughter-in-law wants to take the second girl with her to see the world. Ye Zhang looked at Ye Qianru, who was sitting on the side, and asked the old lady with a smile.
The old lady thought for a while, then nodded in response, "It's good to see the world, they are all official ladies, but they have to know the rules and take half a step back in everything." ”
Ye Zhangshi responded with a smile, but Ye Qianru was surprisingly not happy, but as if she had something in her heart, her eyes were dodgy, Ye Yunshui looked at her in surprise, and Ye Qianru glared back fiercely.
"Prepare a good gift, it's too precious, it seems that we are on the peak, it's not too light, not enough attention, you can do it at your discretion." Ye Chongtian instructed Ye Zhang's family, and after saying a few words, Ye Zhang's family went to the big warehouse to prepare gifts and prepare clothes for Ye Qianru to go to the banquet tomorrow.
Ye Yunshui's family affairs have been decided, and Ye Qianru is the one to be married in the family, Ye Zhang's family proposed to take her with her, didn't he want the wives of each family to look at each other and find a good family affair for Ye Qianru.
At the end of the day, Ye Zhang's sent Mrs. Wang to help Ye Yunshui look at tomorrow's dress, but Ye Yunshui didn't shirk it, opened the makeup box, and asked Mother Su to discuss it with Mrs. Wang.
If it was before, Mrs. Wang would definitely say a few more words, but since she was beaten by the old lady's board and raised it, she didn't dare to say more than half a sentence, which made Ye Yunshui's ears a little clearer.
After Mrs. Wang left, Ye Yunshui called Su's mother over, "...... I always feel that the second girl has something on her mind, and it is related to me, which makes me feel uneasy. ”
"Ming'er will take the flowers and the thrush with you." Su's mother said.
Ye Yunshui could only nod her head and agree, other than that, she really didn't know what she could do, she just hoped that something else would happen.
Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Yunshui got up early to dress up, and today he wanted to socialize for a day, so he let Chunyue pull a double moon bun, his hair was divided into two sides, one side was a half-moon curved bun, two strands of hair drooped, two enamel plain gold hairpins were inserted, wearing a lotus jacket skirt, a plum collar gold silk jacket, a big coat, and a little fat powder on his face, which looked pretty and noble.
Ye Yunshui saw the blood jade unicorn pendant lying in the makeup box, so he reached out and put it around his neck, and put the jade pendant into the small jacket, the piece she was wearing was the one that Qin Murong gave her that day, maybe she was used to it for a few days, but now she still feels unreliable when she takes it off, so she puts it on her body again, and it is all a sustenance.
Hua'er and Thrush also deliberately wore new jackets, although the color was plain, they could see that the two had been carefully retouched, Ye Yunshui was very satisfied, "Pay special attention to the second girl today, don't stay too far away from me, someone beckons you out, just want to use an excuse to push it away." ”
After the two received the order, they replied: "Big girl, please rest assured, the slave and maid will not leave an inch." ”
Ye Yunshui nodded, and then led people to the old lady's courtyard.
