Ye Qingshu bit the word "three" very hard, obviously ridiculing him for being ranked after Ye Qingcheng.

Ye Qingsong laughed angrily, "Okay! I'd like to see how capable he is! ”

Ye Qingshu stretched out his hand, "There is no basis for what you say, we swear by high-fives."

Ye Qingsong was about to step forward, but Tao Shi hurriedly grabbed him, "Brother Song, don't make trouble."

Ye Qingsong's expression was slightly tight, Ye Qingcheng was not familiar to him, but Ye Shouyi, he knew, he would not praise people easily, and if he could get him a sentence of "especially above him back then", this Ye Qingcheng would never be a simple character......

Ye Qingshu kept his hand unchanged, as if he was smiling, "If the third cousin doesn't dare, forget it, won't the gentleman stand under the dangerous wall?"

Ye Qingsong gritted his teeth and slammed his palm on Ye Qingshu's raised palm, "We'll wait and see!" ”

The crisp high-five was like a drum hitting Tao's heart, and Tao's heart jumped for no reason, and he didn't dare to look at Ye Qingshu's smiling face anymore, so he pulled Ye Qingsong's sleeve and left.

Ye Qingshu's eyebrows flashed with anger, knowing that he was afraid? It's a pity it's late!

……

……

There was nothing to say that night, and early the next morning, Ye Qingshu got up to wash and ordered someone to bring Ye Qingyi and Ye Qingyu over.

didn't want Ye Qingcheng to come first, Ye Qingshu said angrily, "It's been a hard journey, why don't you sleep for a while brother?" ”

Ye Qingcheng's eyes slipped around her face, and seeing that her face was ruddy and radiant, Fang smiled, "Didn't you sleep a little longer?" I can't be better than you as a little girl? ”

Ye Qingshu smiled and told Fang Yue to go to the kitchen to take a look, and Ye Qingyi's sister and brother arrived.

Ye Qingyi went back to the room to rest last night, but Ye Qingyu was sturdy and kept watch in the mourning hall all night, and he didn't eat anything, he felt a lot of weight in just one night, and there were a pair of big eyes left on his pale little face, and the bruises under his eyes were thick like ink.

After seeing the ceremony, Ye Qingcheng said softly, "Fourth brother still has to take care of his body."

Ye Qingyu saluted and thanked him, and Ye Qingshu said, "Aunt Fang's maiden sister-in-law was escorted down by her grandfather, and early this morning, my grandfather handed over the person to me.

"But I think Brother Yu'er, you are not young, Aunt Fang is the biological mother of your sister and brother, so I will hand over the person to you, and Aunt Fang's aftermath will also be handed over to you, I will let Wujiu wait for you these days, if there is anything missing, come to find Mama Huang."

Ye Qingshu raised his hand, and Fangcao walked to Ye Qingyu with a tray, the tray was full of silver ingots of ten taels and one ingots, and a plain purse was placed on top.

"Here are three hundred taels of silver and one thousand taels of silver, you take it first, and if it is not enough, come and tell me."

Ye Qingyu suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Fifth Sister!" ”

Ye Qingshu didn't expect him to suddenly have such a move, so he couldn't stop it, so he accepted a big gift from him, and frowned unhappily, "What are you doing?" ”

Ye Qingyu raised her head, her pale little face was full of tears, "The grace of the fifth sister, I will definitely remember it."

Ye Qingshu's eyes were filled with coldness, if you knew that Aunt Fang was the hand I asked someone to move, would you still "remember" my grace?

Ye Qingshu waved his hand, and Fangcao stepped forward to help Ye Qingyu up.

"You guys go back, I'll let Wujiu bring someone to find you later."

Ye Qingyu took a deep look again, Ye Qingyi kept hanging her head, not knowing what she was thinking, and followed the blessing, and the two retreated together.

After the two left, Ye Qingshu ordered a meal, Ye Qingcheng said with a smile, "Ah Shu has always been wealthy, and the burial of an aunt is no more than a hundred taels of silver, but Ah Shu took out ten times more silver at once, no wonder the fourth brother wants to kneel for Ah Shu."

Ye Qingshu snorted slightly, and personally served a bowl of japonica rice porridge for Ye Qingcheng, "Who is rare!" Brother use more".

Ye Qingcheng took it with a smile, and heard the exclamation of the little girl outside, "Who are you!" Come on! ”

Ye Qingshu's eyes were cold, Ye Qingcheng stood up, and he was still holding the japonica rice porridge that Ye Qingshu gave him.

"Ye Achou, you recognize an unknown brother-in-law, but you don't even recognize me, a serious cousin?"

Before the words fell, the pearl curtain of the flower wall shook, and a pretty face like a March hibiscus poked in.

Ye Qingshu slowly put down his chopsticks, raised his head and showed a sarcastic smile, "I haven't seen you for three years, you are really more beautiful!" ”

Zhi Qiyi didn't blow up his hair like when he was a child, and looked at Ye Qingcheng with a cold snort, his eyes full of hostility.

Ye Qingcheng put down the porridge bowl unhurriedly, straightened his sleeves, and waved his hands, "This must be the second master, under Ye Qingcheng."

Zhi Qiyi looked Ye Qingcheng up and down with his arms in his hands, and snorted coldly, "It's like a human and a dog."

Ye Qingshu sneered, "I see that you are a dog who can't spit out ivory in his mouth."

"Ye Augly, you really like to turn your elbows out!"

He said and glanced at Ye Qingshu impatiently, "Don't eat it, grandmother said to let you go back to have breakfast with her, and pick you up early in the morning to pick you up in person, and I don't see how big your face is!" ”

Ye Qingshu was originally going to settle the affairs of the Ye Mansion, and then go to the Zhiguo Mansion to meet his grandfather's family, but he didn't want his grandmother to let Zhi Qiyi come in person early this morning, his heart warmed, and his face softened a little, "You wait a while, I'll change my clothes and come."

Zhi Qiyi waved his hand, "Go quickly, go quickly!" Early in the morning, she dressed like a flower woman! ”

Ye Qingshu glared at him and went to change his clothes without mentioning it.

As soon as Ye Qingshu left, his eyes fell on Ye Qingcheng defiantly, "You don't want to change your clothes?" ”

Ye Qingcheng smiled good-naturedly, "It's okay, Fang Fei, go get the cloak, and tell the cuckoo girl again, Ah Shu and I are going to the Zhiguo Mansion and ask her to prepare the soil ceremony brought to the ancestor."

Zhi Qiyi snorted arrogantly and coldly, "Did I say I let you go with me too?" ”

"Second Master Zhi didn't say it, but my grandmother definitely said it."

Zhi Qiyi choked, threw a piece of snack into his mouth, and ignored him, the old lady not only said that she would invite this Sven beast to the Zhiguo Mansion, but also said that he was not allowed to be rude to him.

Rude and rude, he said that she was unreasonable!

Ye Qingshu changed his clothes and came back, and found that Ye Qingcheng was drinking porridge unhurriedly, eating dim sum in every bite, and the well water did not interfere with the river water, which was very funny, "Have you eaten well?" Let's go? ”

Zhi Qiyi jumped up, Ye Qingcheng took the heart plate and sent it to Ye Qingshu, "Eat two mats and one mat, get up early in the morning."

Ye Qingshu took a piece and put it in his mouth, took another piece, looked very unpleasant, and snorted coldly, "Don't rub it off, go quickly!" ”

……

……

Ye Qingshu got off the green curtain car at the second gate, and Shu's was surrounded by a group of maids and women, stepped forward to hold Ye Qingshu's hands, stopped her from saluting, looked her up and down, her eyes were red, and she sighed again and again, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, it's good to come back, your grandmother has been nagging badly in the past few years."

Ye Qingshu's eyes were also a little hot, and he pulled Shu's arm and rubbed it, "Uncle, Ah Shu misses his aunt very much."

Shu Shi sighed and patted her back, and then looked at Ye Qingcheng, "This is Brother Cheng?" ”

Ye Qingcheng hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, Shu nodded, "It's a good boy, don't be polite, come with me to see your grandfather and grandmother, your grandmother said that she was going to welcome you, it was cold, and it snowed again last night, so I didn't dare to let her come."

Shu Shi said, ordered someone to carry the sliding rod, and went to Rong'an Hall.

When Mrs. Zhi heard the salutes and greetings of the maids, she hurriedly ordered Wenzhu to put on her shoes, got down from the Luohan bed, and hugged Ye Qingshu, who was about to kneel down and kowtow, into her arms, "Good girl, you can be regarded as back!" ”

As soon as he touched the warm embrace of Old Madam Zhi, and heard her familiar words "good girl", Ye Qingshu's tears instantly welled up, and he choked up and called out to his grandmother.

Shu Shi was afraid that Old Lady Zhi would be too sad, so he hurriedly helped her and persuaded, "Ashu, isn't this coming back?" Mother, don't be sad, Brother Cheng has come to see you."

Mrs. Zhi hurriedly wiped her tears, and was helped back to the Luohan bed by Shu Shi to sit down, holding Ye Qingshu in her arms.

Ye Qingcheng stepped forward and knelt down respectfully, "Qingcheng to meet his grandfather and grandmother."

Saying that, she kowtowed three times, and the panicked old lady said in a loud voice, "Quickly help up, quickly help up, this honest child, what are you doing so hard?" ”

Wen Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to help Ye Qingcheng, and the old lady beckoned, "Good boy, come over and let grandmother take a look."

Ye Qingcheng stepped forward and knelt down to sit on the foot of the Luohan bed, and the old lady squinted her eyes and sighed, "What a handsome child!" ”

Old Lady Zhi smiled and nodded, and Mrs. Zhi happily took Ye Qingcheng's hand, "Now you can compare Ruyi to Ruyi, even if it is not worse than my aunt back then."

Zhi Qiyi snorted, and Mrs. Zhi turned her head to Wen Zhu and said, "Quick, bring the meeting gift I prepared for my brother."

Wen Zhu approached with the tray Yingying, and there was only a hairpin with jet black, simple style and carved moire on the tray.

Ye Qingcheng's gaze is naturally not as good as before, and he knows at a glance that this hairpin, which looks extremely ordinary, is made of gloomy wood that has always been "a box of gold is not as good as a section of gloomy wood".

Mrs. Zhi picked up the hairpin and handed it to Ye Qingcheng, "This is to ask the abbot master of Qixia Temple to open the light, which can ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings, so that you can wear it."

Ye Qingcheng raised his hands above his head, took it respectfully, and immediately took out the green jade hairpin that was originally held on the bun and put this hairpin on it.

"Thank you, grandmother".

Mrs. Zhi clapped his hand, "Good boy, I went to see your grandfather."

Ye Qingcheng stepped forward again to give gifts to Zhi Guogong, Shu Shi, and Zhi Qihua one by one.

Zhi Qihua's meeting gift was a few rare books, and Ye Qingcheng respectfully thanked him.

"Ashu often praised you in his letters, and now he sees that he is really beautiful."

Zhi Qihua said and glanced at Ye Qingshu with a smile, "No wonder Ah Shuguang remembers your brother-in-law, but he forgets my cousin completely."

Ye Qingshu broke free from the arms of Old Madam Zhi, trotted to Zhi Qihua's side and pulled up his sleeve, and smiled flatteringly, "Who said that, Ah Shu Ke has always been thinking about his cousin, and Ah Shu also wrote a letter to his cousin!" ”

"Three seals in three years?"

Ye Qingshu shook his sleeve and complained, "Whoever let my cousin not come to my cousin, then Ah Shu can write to my cousin every day!" ”

Zhi Qihua lowered his eyelashes, blocking the gloom in his eyes, he hadn't seen him for three years, he really missed this smart elf's little cousin, and couldn't help but joke.

Ye Qingshu's casual words reminded him of the Zhi family's precautions three years ago, too, Ah Shu is already old, and he should avoid suspicion.

Ye Qingshu didn't notice the change in his mood, shook his sleeve and smiled, "Cousin, I have received all the birthday gifts you gave me, for fear of disappointing my cousin's wishes, I have practiced the piano well, and I will play it to my cousin in a while!" ”

Zhi Qihua smiled gently, "Okay."

Ye Qingshu smiled at him again, and returned to the arms of the old lady Zhi, "Ah Shu also plays the piano for grandmother!" ”

Mrs. Zhi put her arm around her with one hand and followed her back with the other, "Okay, as long as it's an ugly play, don't say it's playing the piano, it's playing cotton, and my grandmother will listen to it."

Ye Qingshu was disgusted, and Shu Shi also joked, and for a while, there was laughter and laughter in Rong'an Hall.

In the midst of joy, Zhi Qihua was still smiling gently, but his eyes gradually faded.

Ye Qingcheng's eyes flashed slightly, Ye Qingshu often mentioned Zhi Qihua to him, and he couldn't help but pay more attention to him, but now it seems that Ah Shu, his cousin, is a little inappropriate......

Ye Qingshu was greasy and crooked, accompanied the Duke of Zhi and the old lady of Zhi to have breakfast, and saw that the old lady of Zhi was tired, and waited for the old lady to rest, and walked out of the inner room lightly.

Zhi Lao Guogong called Ye Qingcheng to go to the study to speak, and Ye Qingshu went to Qinlan Yuan to find Zhi Qihua to speak.

In the past three years, Zhi Qihua has hardly changed at all, just talking to him makes people feel like a warm breeze blowing on their faces, which is very comfortable.

Ye Qingshu really played a few tunes for Zhi Qihua, and got Zhi Qihua's sentence, "quite aura".

Ye Qingshu asked teasingly, "How is it compared to my mother and eldest sister?" ”

Zhi Qihua coughed and looked away, "I haven't heard my aunt and Sister Ling play the piano for a long time, but I can't tell."

Ye Qingshu snorted, "It's just for you to praise me twice, is it necessary to make such a weak appearance?" ”

Zhi Qihua sighed helplessly, Ye Qingshu was competitive for a while, and said, "Cousin, will I accompany you for a few games?" ”

In the past three years, she no longer needs to hide her strength, and in the past three years, she has been learning chess skills with Ye Qingcheng from time to time, and she feels that she has made considerable progress, so she can't wait to teach Zhiqihua to be surprised.

After more than a dozen steps, Zhi Qihua looked up and glanced at Ye Qingshu in surprise, Ye Qingshu smiled at him, his big apricot eyes narrowed, like a cat stealing a fish.

Zhi Qihua smiled, and he was much more cautious, the two were equal, and a game of chess was still in a stalemate state for more than an hour.

When Shu Shi came, what he saw was that the two brothers and sisters each held a chess piece at their fingertips, not only the movements were similar, but even the prudence and seriousness between the eyebrows were also the same.

Shu Shi unconsciously showed a big smile when he looked at it, and Shi Yan and Fangcao hurriedly leaned over and saluted.

Zhi Qihua and Ye Qingshu suddenly realized that they hurriedly saluted, Shu Shi stepped forward and pressed Ye Qingshu, who was about to get up, and said angrily, "It's all a family, what do you do with so many courtesies!" ”

Ye Qingshu rubbed her arm, "It's still my aunt who is the best for Ashu!" ”

Shu Shi smiled and nodded her forehead, "With such a sweet mouth, who will go if my aunt doesn't hurt Ashu?" ”

Ye Qingshu laughed, Shu Shi touched her delicate and smooth face, and his eyes drifted to Zhi Qihua, "It's not too early, come with me to Rong'an Hall for lunch."

Ye Qingshu got up very naturally to push Zhi Qihua, and Zhi Qihua hurriedly said, "Ashu, I don't need you."

Ye Qingshu said with a smile, "This courtesy, Ah Shu is going to offer it no matter what, lest my cousin complain that Ah Shu has a righteous brother and forgets his cousin."

Zhi Qihua shook his head and smiled, and had to go with her.

The three of them laughed all the way out of Qinlan Garden, and soon ran into Zhi Guogong and Ye Qingcheng.

After the ceremony, Shu Shi took Ye Qingshu and said, "Let them go first, and we will walk slowly behind."

Ye Qingshu smiled and nodded, and saluted and asked the old prince to go first.

Shu Shi looked at the backs of several people and smiled, "Your brother-in-law has a little bit of your father's demeanor back then."

"Brother, he's fine, and my aunt will know later."

"So, is it better to be a brother-in-law or a cousin?"

Ye Qingshu shook Shu's arm unsnuggly, "Uncle also came to make fun of Ashu!" ”

Shu Shi smiled and patted her hands, "Okay, okay, my aunt won't laugh at you, after the New Year, Ashu will be thirteen, and she will be a big girl."

Ye Qingshu smiled and hummed, Shu Shi smiled, and lowered his voice, "Ashu, you have a good relationship with your aunt, what is going on with Sister Ling'er's family?" ”

Ye Qingling will be seventeen years old after the New Year, and if he doesn't allow others, he will be criticized.

"The eldest sister often said that she was going to cut her hair and become a sister-in-law, but she was afraid that her mother would not be able to accept it for a while, so she would slowly figure it out."

Shu Shi's eyes widened in surprise, originally she asked Ye Qingling's family affairs just as an introduction, so as to naturally transition the topic to Ye Qingshu, but she didn't expect to ask such a sentence.

She didn't like Ye Qingling very much, and when she thought about it, she felt that it must be the little girl's family who couldn't wipe off her face for a while, so she said it casually.

"The little girl's family, there are also people who can't think about it for a while, and it will be good after a while, you can persuade more, this daughter's family always has to marry and have children, what does hair loss and shaving look like?"

Ye Qingshu smiled and didn't answer, Shu sighed, "Your cousin has been shouting that he will not marry for the rest of his life, and your grandmother doesn't know how many tears she shed, but she can't persuade him."

"Cousin—"

Ye Qingshu paused, he really didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to be silent.

Shu Shi patted her hand again and sighed, "For so many years, your cousin has only been close to you, and you are looking for an opportunity to persuade him for my good life, how can it be good that you have not been married?" ”

Ye Qingshu snorted and said seriously, "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely persuade my cousin if I have the chance."

Shu Shi sighed again, pulled out his hand and picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Ask him, he only insisted on one sentence, he refused to delay other girls, it's not that his aunt is not humble, although Brother Hua can't leave now, but his character and bearing are there, how many girls don't want to be delayed by him?" But he just stared at him and delayed his speech, don't you say you're worried about death? ”

Ye Qingshu asked, "Cousin is interested in someone?" ”
