As soon as the words came out, she noticed that something was wrong, the marriage was a major event, and it was the words of the matchmaker of her parents, in this way, it was okay for the brothers and sisters to laugh with each other, and they said it in front of the elders, but it was a little Meng Lang.

Sure enough, Shu Shi glared at her with disgust, "What kind of person?" How does the little girl's family talk? Your cousin has never seen more than ten girls over the years, even Sister Ling, he also avoids the defense of men and women, and refuses to say more than half a word, where did he come from? ”

Ye Qingshu smiled embarrassedly, Zhi Qihua always said that he was afraid of delaying other girls, it sounded like an intentional person, but because of his legs, he didn't want to delay others!

Shu Shi didn't think about saying it all at once, and when he saw that his goal was achieved, he smiled and pulled the topic to another place.

Ye Qingshu and Ye Qingcheng had lunch in Rong'an Hall, and the whole family got together to drink tea and gossip for a long time, and Ye Qingshu offered to leave.

Old Madam Zhi was reluctant when she heard this, and snorted angrily, "I haven't come to see my wife for the past three years, so it's easy to come, and I'm leaving in just two hours?" ”

Ye Qingshu pleased and pinched the old lady's shoulder, "Grandmother, you know, my brother and I just came back, we have a lot of things to be busy with, that Aunt Fang unfortunately died, there are more things, when I am done, I will accompany you, and I will stay until the twenty-ninth year and then return to Ye Mansion!" ”

Only then did Mrs. Zhi smile, and with a stack of orders, she packed the clothes and daily items prepared for Ye Qingshu and Ye Qingcheng and sent them to Ye Mansion.

Ye Qingshu looked at Zhi Qihua apologetically, "Cousin, that game of chess, just wait for me to come next time, and then accompany my cousin to play."

Zhi Qihua said with a smile, "It's okay, I ordered someone to take it well, and I will never mess up the chess game."

Ye Qingshu said goodbye one by one, and Ye Qingcheng went out of the Zhiguo Mansion, and went back to the peony courtyard directly from the side door of the second room, called Mama Huang over, and sorted out the account books of affairs accumulated in the past few years one by one.

He also sent someone to spread the word, and ordered all the foreign stewards to go to Ming Shangxuan early the next morning, first, to check the status of the shop in the past few years, and secondly, to let the stewards meet Ye Qingcheng.

Although Ye Qingcheng helped, he was busy for five days before everything was settled, and on the sixth day, Ye Qingshu and Ye Qingcheng went to the shop grange one by one to check it out in person.

With Ye Qingcheng accompanying the escort, she is very cheap wherever she goes, and she is no longer as constrained as before, and it takes a long time to go to a grange.

After being busy like this for half a month, Ye Qingshu finally got free time and replied to the post of the county lord of Yanyang, saying that she would visit her the next day.

Ye Qingshu wrote the post, sent someone to the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongle, saw that the time was just right, and ordered to go to the outer courtyard to cherish the word.

The brothers in the Ye Mansion were all taught by Mrs. Ye personally, so Ye Qingyu did not live in the second room, but in the outer courtyard of the big room and the third room.

There are many people in the big house and the third room, and there are few houses, and it is impossible for the brothers to live in a yard alone, Ye Qingwu and Ye Qingsong live in a yard for a long time, and they are the concubines, and the two of them live in a yard.

The following brothers, except for Ye Qingyu, who is Ye Shouyi's concubine, all of them live in the outer courtyard, and the two concubines in the big house are still young, and they live in the inner courtyard with their respective aunts.

Ye Qingcai, the youngest concubine in the third room, was in office with Ye Shouli, and Ye Qingyu, Ye Qingshan, Ye Qingfeng, and Ye Qingzhang were crowded in the Xizi Zhai.

Ye Qingshu is the first time to enter the word Zhai, the courtyard is not small, and the layout also shows the connotation of Yefu's "scholarly door" everywhere, only four people live, in the end it is a little crowded.

Ye Qingyu and the others had just gotten out of school, and they were studying in their respective rooms, and when they heard the little maid tell Ye Qingshu that they were coming, they all came out busily, only Ye Qingshan was missing.

Ye Qingshu snowed on the first day he returned to Beijing, although it didn't rain again these days, the weather has not been very good, gloomy and gloomy, and occasionally raining, it seems extremely cold.

Ye Qingshu wore the silver fox fur cloak, wrapped tightly, but he didn't feel too cold, Ye Qingyu had just come out of the warm room with charcoal fire, shivering from the cold.

Ye Qingshu smiled, "What are you doing on such a cold day?" Quick, let's go to the fourth brother to warm up."

A few people walked quickly to Ye Qingyu's residence, there are only two entrances to the word zhai, one is the study room of Ye Qingyu and several people, and the second is the east and west two wings, four rooms each, just Ye Qingyu four people and one person have two rooms, and behind the wing room is the back cover room where the servants live.

Ye Qingyu lives in the east wing, occupying the two rooms on the west side, and the two rooms on the east side are naturally the residence of the older Ye Qingshan.

After entering the door, Fangcao waited for Ye Qingshu to take off his cloak, Ye Qingshu glanced around, the room they entered was obviously where Ye Qingyu lived and ate on weekdays.

The two rooms are opened, and from here you can see that the next room is divided into two rooms with screens, which are used as a study and a bedroom.

Ye Qingyu invited a few people to sit down, and ordered the little maid to serve tea and snacks, and said a little crampedly, "The place is small, don't dislike it, second sister."

Ye Qingshu paused to lift the lid of the cup, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "The place is indeed a little small, originally there was only one man in the second room, and it was more lively to live here, but now that you have a brother, it seems inappropriate for you to squeeze down with your brothers here."

"In this way, the old school's home next to my brother's Jiwei Courtyard is empty, so I will order someone to clean it up, and you will move in the day after tomorrow."

Ye Qingyu hurriedly waved her hand, "Second sister, I didn't mean that."

Ye Qingshu unhurriedly beat the tea powder with the lid of the cup, "You are now my father's sister-in-law, how can you squeeze such a small place with Brother Shan'er?" That's what I'm here today, and tomorrow you'll go and mention it to your grandfather."

"Second sister—"

Ye Qingyu didn't know what to say, Ye Qingshu brought the teacup to his mouth, but he didn't even touch the rim of the cup, and slowly put it down, "Don't worry, grandfather won't stop it, you have already recorded it in your mother's name, and you should have the dignity you should have, and the things here——"

Ye Qingshu looked around, and then showed disdain, "Bring what you like, and you don't have to bother with the rest."

Hmm, it's not bad to give Ye Qingyu a little jealousy, and let Ye Shouyi add trouble and blockage!

Ye Qingyu should be, Ye Qingzhang is only eight years old, and when he heard this, he showed envy, "Fourth brother is so good!" I can live in a yard by myself! ”

Ye Qingshu said casually, "Brother Zhang'er, Brother Yu'er is now different from you, so naturally I can't squeeze together with you anymore, I see that this east wing is sunnier and warmer than the west wing, after Brother Yu moves out, you can move over and live."

Ye Qingzhang hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I'll live in the West Wing."

As he spoke, he glanced at the next door in fear, obviously afraid of Ye Qingshan, who did not show up.

Ye Qingshu's expression was softened, and he grabbed a few golden melon seeds from his purse and handed them to him, "Come, take it to buy wosi candy to eat."

Ye Qingzhang looked at her hesitantly, and when he saw that her face was soft, he reached out to take it, grinning, revealing two rows of small baby teeth that were missing several pieces.

"Thank you, Fifth Sister! When I bought the silk candy, I also gave some to the fifth sister to eat! ”

Ye Qingshu smiled and nodded, Ye Qingfeng glanced at the golden melon seeds in Ye Qingzhang's hand, then looked at Ye Qingshu, smiled and stretched out his hand, "Fifth sister, I want it too!" ”

Ye Qingshu also grabbed a few for him, and advised, "You are older than Brother Zhang'er, you have to take more care of him on weekdays, do you know?" ”

Ye Qingfeng nodded happily, "Fifth sister, don't worry, I will take care of the sixth brother!" ”

"If you take care of him, he will respect you, and brothers and friends can be brothers."

Ye Qingfeng and Ye Qingzhang nodded in unison, and Ye Qingshu said again, "When the fourth brother moves to the old school, you can also visit him if you have nothing to do, and the brothers will be closer if they move around more, fourth brother, when you move away, if there is something that Brother Feng and Brother Zhang like, leave it to them, and also leave a memorial."

Ye Qingyu complied, Ye Qingshu put down the teacup and stood up, "It's not early, I'll leave first, you guys are so good at Wenshu."

Ye Qingyu and a few people got up to send it, Ye Qingshu waved his hand, "You don't have to send it, it's cold outside, don't catch a cold, it's cold at night, Wen Shu burns a few more stoves, the charcoal is not enough, send someone to find me, I'll think about it."

Ye Qingyu and the three of them thanked and responded, Fangcao put on a cloak for Ye Qingshu, opened a dark green cotton curtain, and the master and servant left the room unhurriedly.

Estimating that Ye Qingshu and the others had gone away, Ye Qingfeng couldn't hold back any longer, and counted the golden melon seeds excitedly, "Fifth sister is so generous!" It's going to be three or four taels, enough for me to use for more than half a year! ”

Ye Qingzhang was also very happy, carefully stuffed the golden melon seeds into the purse, and stuffed the purse into the sleeve, thinking about it, he got up and said goodbye to Ye Qingyu, he was going back to hide!

Before Ye Qingyu could answer, the heavy cotton curtain was opened fiercely, and a large cold wind poured in, and the golden melon seeds in Ye Qingfeng's hand were snatched by someone who came to play with them.

But it's Ye Qingshan.

Ye Qingfeng subconsciously wanted to snatch it back, but where was he the opponent of Ye Qingshan, who was two years older than him, Ye Qingshan pushed him hard, sat him back on the chair, and turned his head to look at Ye Qingzhang.

Ye Qingzhang lowered his head in fright and was about to run out, Ye Qingshan grabbed his arm, and Ye Qingzhang screamed, "Fifth sister! Fifth sister! Fifth sister! ”

Ye Qingshan smiled viciously, "She broke my hand, this is the compensation she should give me!" It's useless for you to call grandfather! ”

Ye Qingzhang screamed more and more poignantly, "This is the fifth sister who bought me nest candy to eat!" You are not allowed to rob! Fifth sister! ”

Ye Qingshan restrained him with one hand and groped with him with the other, "Where are you hiding?" ”

Ye Qingyu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Third brother, how can you be so-"

"Get out of here!"

"Third brother—"

Ye Qingyu was about to say more, Ye Qingfeng pounced on Ye Qingshan, hugged his neck with one hand, and beat his back tightly with the other hand, shouting loudly, "You pay me back!" You pay me back! Give it back! ”

Ye Qingyu shouted anxiously, "Stop fighting!" Don't fight, all of you! ”

He was afraid of colliding with Ye Qingshu, so he sent all the small servants in the courtyard away, but now there is no one to serve, and there is no half of a person to make such a big noise.

Ye Qingshan wanted to restrain the struggling Ye Qingzhang, but he couldn't get rid of Ye Qingfeng for a while.

Ye Qingfeng is ten years old this year, he is crazy, he has used all his strength to eat, and the back of Ye Qingshan is empty.

He is not as tall as Ye Qingshan, and almost the whole person hangs on Ye Qingshan's body, which means that his whole weight hangs on Ye Qingshan's neck.

Ye Qingshan was almost out of breath by him, so he had to let go of Ye Qingzhang and break Ye Qingfeng's arm around his neck.

As soon as Ye Qingzhang was free, he cried and ran out, calling the fifth sister as he ran.

There was a straight stone road leading to the courtyard gate, Ye Qingzhang ran fast, and soon Ye Qingshu and the others heard his shout, stopped and turned back.

Ye Qingzhang cried even louder when she saw it, "Fifth sister, go and take a look!" The third brother wants to rob our golden melon seeds, and he also beats me and the fifth brother! ”

Ye Qingshu's face suddenly turned cold, "Fangcao, you go quickly, unload the animal's arm for me!" ”

……

……

The result of Ye Qingshu's words was that the sibling dispute that had nothing to do with her also affected her, causing her to listen to Mrs. Ye's big arguments of "brothers, friends, brothers, and brothers" and "can't write two leaf characters in one stroke" on an empty stomach, and let her enter the ancestral hall for the first time in her previous life and this life!

Ye Qingshu knelt very aggrievedly in the middle of Ye Qingshan and several other brothers, and regretted it very much.

She should have eaten and then come to Ye Qingyu!

Ye Qingshan was taken off her arm by Fangcao's hand, although she was now connected again, she was really afraid of Ye Qingshu, and she knelt beside her and didn't dare to move.

Ye Qingfeng and Ye Qingzhang were sobbing suppressedly beside them, they were all about to die of grievance, Ye Qingshan bullied them, and their grandfather scolded them! Say they don't respect their brothers! The golden melon seeds were also confiscated!

Ye Qingyu only shouted a few words from beginning to end not to fight, and was also scolded by Old Lady Ye, saying that he stood by and lost his brotherhood.

Ye Qingyu has always been quiet and silent, and silently received the charge and came to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Several people, led by Ye Qingshu, knelt in a row in front of the ancestral tablet of the Ye family according to their age, and the strings were very lively.

Not long after a few people knelt down, the mother-in-law who guarded the door of the ancestral hall sounded, "The slave has seen the second master."

Ye Qingshu turned around, and saw Ye Qingcheng holding a food box in one hand and a green oil umbrella with a bamboo handle in the other.

The glow of the red lantern hanging above the entrance of the ancestral hall melted the warmth of his picturesque eyebrows.

Ye Qingshu suddenly felt aggrieved, and called out to his brother with a pout.

Ye Qingcheng handed the green oil umbrella in his hand to Fang Fei, carried the food box into the ancestral hall, a barely visible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "Hungry, right?" Take a few bites while it's hot".

As he spoke, he opened the food box, which contained only a plate of mirror cakes stacked in the shape of plum blossoms, emitting heat.

Ye Qingshu took the chopsticks from his hand, took a piece, and bit half of it, "Why is my brother here?" ”

"I pleaded with my grandfather, and my grandfather allowed you not to kneel anymore, you eat two cushions on your stomach, don't eat too much, and go back and eat something raw."

Ye Qingshan exclaimed, "Why! ”

The cold color in Ye Qingcheng's eyes flashed, but his face was still warm and elegant, "Ah Shu is his daughter's family, and he can do something wrong and copy the scriptures and calm down, but it is not good to hurt the dignity of his daughter's family, and he really knelt in the ancestral hall on this big night."

Ye Qingshan still couldn't accept it, "What is this?" She is a woman who can act recklessly? The last time she let that ugly girl wring off my hand, my grandfather only punished her for copying books! This time she broke my arm, and she was just copying books! ”

Ye Qingshu put down his chopsticks, took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth unhurriedly, "It's good that you know, next time you offend my hands again, be careful that I take off both of your arms!" ”

"You-"

"You what you! If you dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I'll let Fangcao unload your arm now! ”

Ye Qingshan's lips moved, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and turned his head aggrievedly.

Ye Qingcheng took Ye Qingshu's dirty handkerchief and stuffed it into his sleeve, leaned over and stretched out his hand to help her up, and said lightly, "Grandfather told you to reflect on your life and kneel for a long time before you can go back."

As he spoke, he tied his hood for Ye Qingshu, and carried Ye Qingshu out of the ancestral hall, and after a while, the two disappeared into the thick night.

Ye Qingzhang looked at the food box that was "forgotten" by Ye Qingcheng, and then looked at Ye Qingyu, and saw that Ye Qingyu hung his head and did not squint, as if he didn't notice the fragrant and hot mirror cake on the plate.

He pursed his mouth a little aggrieved, and went to see Ye Qingfeng again, Ye Qingfeng carefully looked at Ye Qingshan, who was closest to the food box, and said to Ye Qingyu, "Fifth brother, grandfather didn't say that we were not allowed to have dinner, maybe this food box was deliberately left for us by the second brother."

Because Ye Qingcheng entered the preface of the grandchildren of Ye Mansion, Ye Qingyu was ranked from the original fourth to the fifth, and the upper and lower brothers in the mansion were called the fifth brother.

Ye Qingyu was silent and said in a low voice, "The second brother is the most thoughtful and proper in his actions, and he will never lose anything."

This food box must have been deliberately left by him to give them a few pads to cushion their stomachs.

Ye Qingfeng was immediately relieved when he heard this, got up and took out the dishes in the food box, and brought it to Ye Qingshan first, "Fourth brother, you eat two pads to cushion your stomach."

Ye Qingshan didn't have a good air, "What a broken thing!" Don't eat! ”

Ye Qingfeng pursed his lips secretly, and took it to Ye Qingyu again, Ye Qingyu shook his head, "I'm not hungry, you and Brother Zhang'er can eat."

Ye Qingfeng hesitated, Ye Qingyu said in a low voice, "Since the second brother left it for us, you can eat it with confidence, and grandfather will never blame you."

In the past three years, although he has not dealt much with Ye Qingcheng, he has also heard about his behavior, since he dares to leave the food box, he will definitely not let them be punished by his grandfather for eating the pastries in the food box, and he will be scolded by his grandfather.

Ye Qingfeng and Ye Qingzhang were still young after all, and they ate happily when they heard this, Ye Qingshan snorted disdainfully, Ye Qingyu turned his gaze back, and continued to kneel respectfully and uprightly.

……

……

Ye Qingcheng kept sending Ye Qingshu to the entrance of the Peony Courtyard, and Ye Qingshu knew that he must have no dinner, so he invited him in.

Ye Qingcheng smiled and shook his head, "It's late, it's inconvenient for me to go in, you can eat some raw and drink more soup to warm up."

Ye Qingshu followed him, and asked with some curiosity, "How did my brother intercede with my grandfather?" ”

"I just mentioned that you are going to the eldest princess's mansion tomorrow, and it is not advisable to kneel for a long time, so my grandfather will allow it."

Ye Qingshu was stunned, "I'm so confused, I didn't expect this."

She has always been a person who can't afford to be profitable, and finally saw Ye Qingzhang's cautious appearance today, and felt a little pity, giving him a few golden melon seeds is completely out of whim, but there is no special purpose.

I don't want her to have a good heart in 800 years, but she was tossed like this by Ye Qingshan, which is really a little depressed.

Ye Qingcheng poked her forehead, "You're embarrassed to say, what does it matter to you that the people in their third room are fighting?" Do you want to be strong? also tossed himself into the ancestral hall, how good is it to freeze on this cold day? ”

Ye Qingshu was about to argue, but found that the situation was really what Ye Qingcheng said, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

"It's windy outside, let's get in quickly."

Ye Qingshu hummed, and entered the courtyard with Fangcao, Ye Qingcheng watched her back disappear into the night, and walked away after a long time.
