When she was hanged to death by the white silk given by the palace, it was the day when the peach blossoms were red and the spring flowers were blooming, she didn't feel the pain, her mind was full of the scene of the moon before the flower, the scene of her mother caressing the qin and her father practicing the sword, and the laughter and laughter when her brother sent the lotus leaf wrapped chicken, and she saw her sister walking towards her with a smile in a trance.

She didn't blink her eyes open, secretly hating God for being so unfair, why didn't she even let go of a weak girl who was guilty of scabies.

However, God is fair, and finally, after a year, "she" returned to the capital again, as Ye Yun, the second lady of the Ye family of Yangzhou prefect.

She never understood why she was reborn in Yangzhou, thousands of miles away, even though she died in the capital?

Just as she was in a trance and pondering, a gentle and soft voice came from her ears,

"Yun'er, but you're uncomfortable again?" Mother Mu touched the corner of her forehead lovingly, and saw that her brows were slightly frowned, and her face was a little pale, and she couldn't help but worry.

Five months ago, the youngest daughter has been sick after the winter sunset, if it weren't for the child's grandfather's medical skills, it is estimated that he would not be able to save it, but this disease has made a naughty and lively little girl dull and does not like to talk, but she is distressed.

Finally got well half a month ago, no, it was a long time to climb, and it was tiring to get in the car, she was afraid that the child would get sick again.

Ye Yun was stunned, a smile appeared on her face, and she reached out and pulled down Mu's hand on her forehead, put it in the palm of her hand, and said with relief: "Mother, I'm fine, I'm just a little sleepy!" ”

At this time, the sister Ye Xi on the side glanced at Ye Yun holding Mu's hand, rubbed her shoulder on the kang, and winked at her mother Mu Shi on the opposite side of the small desk with big eyes and smiled: "Mother, after my sister fell into the water last time, she was a lot more well-behaved!" ”

In the past, my sister was a troublemaker in Yangzhou, relying on her father's power in Yangzhou, there was no place where she couldn't walk sideways, but in the past few months, Ye Yun'an has a little bit of the temperament of a deep girl.

Mu Shi glanced at Ye Xi with a smile, "Nonsense, is she still hoping that her sister will not be sick?" As he spoke, he looked at Ye Yun again, "Girl, what my mother just told you, do you remember it in your heart?" ”

Before Ye Yun could answer, her sister Ye Xi answered: "Mother looks at her stupid appearance, as if she listened to your words?" ”

Hearing this, the corners of Ye Yun's lips pulled up slightly, and he smiled and said: "Mother, my daughter has everything in mind, you have said it countless times along the way, I will be careful at my grandmother's house." ”

Ye Yun's father Ye Huai has just stepped down from the prefect of Yangzhou, listening to the meaning of the ministry to let him return to Beijing to take up his post, and then arrange a Beijing official for him, he has been released for many years, it is time to enter Beijing as an official, but what kind of official position will be arranged for him, it has not yet been decided, Ye Huai is still in Yangzhou to hand over the general affairs, so he sent his wife and daughter to the capital to explore the situation.

Ye Yun's mother Mu is the daughter of the Mu family's third room, and the old man of the Mu family's house is the servant of the Ministry of Officials, the official is big, and he is in charge of the transfer of officials.

There is no need for Mu to explain these things, Ye Yun is clear, who she was in her previous life, she really doesn't pay much attention to this little thing.

Mu took a pair of children into Beijing and lived in the third room of his mother's Mu family, and yesterday he had bought a house that needed to be repaired, so the mother and daughter were going to disturb the Mu family for a while.

Mu Shi listened to Ye Yun's words and was still not very relieved, firstly, Ye Yun had an indifferent look on her face, and secondly, she has always been lively and active, in Yangzhou it is a role that no one dares to provoke, plus Ye Huai's grandfather, that is, the child's grandfather, is very fond of her, she has never seen people's faces, let alone suffered a loss, this time in the capital, Mu Shi really pinched a sweat, for fear that she would get into trouble.

Mother's worries, Ye Xi saw in his eyes,

"Don't worry, mother, I will always take my sister with me and don't let her run around with my grandmother!" Ye Xi opened a pair of beautiful and clear big eyes, and said with the gentle appearance of an eldest sister.

Mu nodded, his expression was a little solemn, and his left hand with a cloisonné ruby ring held the hands of the two sisters together, "Your grandmother's house has many rules, especially on the long side, it is easy not to let people in, you must be cautious and live in harmony with your cousins and cousins!" ”

The two sisters nodded and said no more, the room was quiet, and after drinking tea for a long time, the housekeeper brought from Yangzhou raised the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei and looked at a smiling face, "Mrs., two young ladies, the old lady let us go!" ”

Mu Shi's expression was stunned when he heard this, and he knew that his mother had taken her to the long room to say goodbye to Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou is the ancestor of the long house, her husband is the eldest uncle of the Mu family, who was the left waiter of the Ministry at the time, a member of the third grade, and Mrs. Zhou was also ordained, and in the Mu family, a sneeze can scare people to death.

Mu Shi immediately got up and carefully looked at the dresses of his two daughters, Ye Xi was wearing a lotus-colored lotus trimmed gown, which looked very gentle and generous, while Ye Yun was wearing a moon-white plain gown, but the piping was embroidered with a few plum blossoms, with a calmness and open-mindedness that did not fit the age of thirteen. Mu sighed, in the end, he was a little cleaner, how could a child be lively and beautiful.

But Mu didn't say anything, after all, after the last time the little daughter fell into the water, the master of the temple said that she was going to eat fasting and chanting Buddha for a while, she didn't think about it anymore, so she simply took a pair of daughters out of the westernmost Chengbi Ju in the third room, and went to the Xiang'an Garden of her mother, Mrs. Wen, in the main courtyard of the third room.

The mother and daughter took two grandmothers and four girls out of Chengbiju, passed a dense and fresh bamboo forest, and then walked through a hall to the side gate of Xiang'an Garden. There were already girls waiting there, leading them into the side hall of the feast.

Now it is the weather in April, the air is filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers, very comfortable and pleasant, Ye Yun was silent along the way, and followed his sister and mother to the side hall along the bluestone slab bricks.

When I went up the steps, I saw an old lady in the open side hall wearing colorful clothes, it was Ye Yun's maternal grandmother Wen, Wen's family was from the Jinling Wang family, and he was a knowledgeable person since he was a child.

After a little salute, Mu took his two daughters to sit on the right side of Mrs. Wen, and the old lady looked at the two nieces with a smile in her eyes. Ye Xi leaned on Mrs. Wen, and Ye Yun sat beside her mother.

The girls put the tea on the table, and then they came out, and the old lady Wen pulled Mu Shi and spoke in a low voice,

"I'll say hello for you, Mrs. Zhou is free at the beginning of Shenshi today, and I will take you over to meet later, and the two children will also go!" Wen pointed at Ye Xi and Ye Yun, his eyes full of joy.

"Thank you, mother!" Mu Shi said with a smile, she has made a lot of gifts for this, just to please Mrs. Zhou in the long house, to see if she can get a way.

The Mu family has three rooms, the long room is an official, and the second room does some material trading business from Jiangnan to the capital, which is very rich, but the heirs of the three houses are relatively withered, relying on the long house and the second room to live, Ye Yun's grandfather died three years ago, and the third room was supported by the uncle who was Langzhong of Dali Temple at the time.

Ye Yun's expression was faint, and he didn't say anything, but Ye Xi secretly sighed, although his grandmother's house was the weakest of the three rooms of the Mu family, the servants in the room were well-behaved, showing everyone's demeanor.

Ye Xi was still a little apprehensive, so he behaved very cautiously.

She was two years older than Ye Yun, she was worried that her sister couldn't stand it, but she found that Ye Yun had been drinking tea quietly, with a lazy expression in her expression, and she couldn't help but be surprised that the little girl was sick like a different person.

How did she know that the family that Ye Yun was in in her previous life was many times more magnificent than the Mu family, and it was common to enter and leave the palace. She didn't see the Mu family in any of her eyes in her previous life.

Old Lady Wen was still discussing something with Mu Shi, Ye Yun didn't listen to a word, she was full of thoughts about what kind of situation the capital was in now, she had to find a way to inquire.

After a few people sat for a while, the grandmother who was in charge of foreign affairs next to Mrs. Wen came in and said, "Old lady, the long room sent someone to spread the word, saying that it was okay for Mrs. Zhou to do it!" ”

Old Mrs. Wen knew it in her heart, and immediately took Mu and the two children to pack up and go to the long house.

"Follow me, don't talk much, you know?" Ye Xi explained to Ye Yun as she walked, she knew her sister's temper, she was not afraid of heaven and earth, and she had done everything she used to fight in Yangzhou.

Ye Yun laughed, just nodded, and followed his sister along the stone path to the east.

The three rooms of the Mu family are on the Sanqu Lane of Jingshi, the three rooms are in the west, the long room is in the middle, and the second room is in the east. The group walked to the Rong'an Courtyard where Mrs. Zhou lived, along with the gifts carried by their subordinates.

Entering the long room like this, Ye Xi felt the luxurious breath coming to his face even more, and he could see girls and mothers-in-law coming and going everywhere, even some big girls were dressed like a young lady, and the bracelet earrings jingled.

It's just that no matter how many people there are, there is no noise, which shows that the rules are big.

Mama Li, who was in charge of the reception of the old lady Zhou, stood at the west gate of Rong'an Courtyard and waited for them, and as soon as she saw the old lady Wen, she immediately greeted her, "The old lady is here, our old lady is waiting!" ”

Saying that, the pair of willow eyes immediately caught a glimpse of Mu Shi, who was supporting Mrs. Wen, "This is Aunt Rong, I haven't seen her for several years, and my aunt and grandmother are still the same!" ”

Ye Yun's mother Mu has a single name, and there are many aunts and grandmothers in the Mu family, so she calls by name, and Mama Li is also so young as Kua Mu's.

Mu Shi also replied with a smile, "I heard that the youngest daughter of Mama's family is also married, and now is the time to enjoy Qingfu!" "Everyone around Mrs. Zhou has to give a little face, not to mention that this Mama Li is an old man in the house, and she is very embarrassed to be in charge of the reception.

When Mama Li heard this, her eyebrows and eyes smiled into a slit, and her waist twisted a little, "It's my aunt's blessing, it's hard for my aunt and grandmother to still worry about it!" Saying that, Ye Xi and Ye Yun praised again, and the two sisters also bowed to Mama Li under Mu's signal, Mama Li was a transparent person, refused to accept the courtesy, and led them to the banquet room of Rong'an Courtyard.

Ye Yun followed Mu Shi and others from the main hall into the banquet room, bypassing a six-open Suzhou embroidered peony seat screen, and saw a room of people in the house, and when they came in, some young daughters-in-law immediately came over to greet them.

Ye Yun raised his eyes slightly and saw an old lady surrounded by a bunch of ladies and mothers-in-law on the kang in the north, only to see that she had some silver threads between her temples, wearing a bamboo blue gown, her hands on the arms of her daughter-in-law and grandmother, squinting her eyes slightly, her face was generous, and she looked quite not angry and arrogant.

"Lao Anren, this is my daughter Sister Rong, she brought two little girls to invite you to come here!" Mrs. Wen walked over and said to Mrs. Zhou,

With a slight smile, Mrs. Zhou pointed to the opposite side of her kang table and said, "It's hot, it's hard for you to come over in the afternoon, sit down quickly!" ”

Mrs. Wen sat down as she said, and soon a girl handed her a cup of West Lake Longjing.

Only then did Mrs. Zhou move her gaze to Mu Rong, and Mu Rong immediately bowed forward, "Auntie, how are you doing?" My niece has been thinking about you in Yangzhou! ”

Mrs. Zhou stretched out her hand to her, Mu Rong immediately walked over, held Mrs. Zhou's hand with both hands, felt the warm and soft skin of the old man, and secretly said that she was really well maintained.

"You can be regarded as back, and your mother is finally relieved, saving you from not seeing each other for a few years!" Mrs. Zhou looked at her, her eyes were sour, and she also remembered her daughter who married Jiangling.

As soon as she said this, Mu Rong and Mrs. Wen wet the corners of their eyes,

Mu Rong quickly smiled again, pointed at Ye Xi and Ye Yun and said, "Auntie, these are my niece's two children!" ”

Ye Xi and Ye Yun used the words to salute one after the other, and Mrs. Zhou saw Ye Xi first, and saw that she combed a fallen horse bun, with a pair of big eyes moist, as quiet as autumn water, very aura, very pleasing.

"Your big girl is really good-looking, and she is so respectful and dignified, it can be seen that you are well trained!" Old Mrs. Zhou praised Mu Rong,

Mu Rong knew that Mrs. Zhou was not a person who boasted casually, so she was very happy in her heart, and said humbly: "You have love, your niece has always remembered the teachings of you and your mother, and taught the Mu family style to the two children!" ”

The implication is that the child is well-behaved and obedient, and the grandfather's family teaches well, Mrs. Zhou is very useful, she likes to set rules, and the daughter-in-law and granddaughter and grandson of the family are obedient, and she is happy.

As soon as she said this, she noticed Ye Yun again, the moment she saw Ye Yun, Mrs. Zhou suddenly fell into a trance, and always felt that this girl felt very different, I saw her hands clasped in front of her abdomen, hanging her eyes, neither humble nor arrogant, a moon-white jacket with a lake blue thread pleated skirt, lining her slender and tall, beautiful as bamboo, the whole temperament is as elegant as an orchid, just look at her, the tip of the nose seems to smell the fragrance of the orchid.

"This is your youngest daughter, Sister Yun? I remember how naughty she used to be? Old Madam Zhou was obviously a little surprised, "She should only be thirteen years old!" "It's not like a thirteen-year-old.

Old Mrs. Zhou even felt that Ye Yun's demeanor exuded from her body was the only one she could see. She is no better than Mrs. Wen, she ran a house when she was young, she didn't know how many people she received inside and out, there were no famous ladies and ladies in the capital that she didn't know, even the palace had also been there, it was because she had seen a big scene, so the entire Mu family was the only one who looked at her.

At a glance, she felt that Ye Yun was not ordinary from the girl on the side.

A person can hide everything, but her temperament can't hide it, although she didn't say that she was famous in the world in her previous life, no one in the world can match her.

Ye Yun Yuguang noticed the change in Mrs. Zhou's expression, she was a little helpless, she was not in good health in her previous life, she rarely went out, and her temperament was very different from that of the original owner, she didn't want to make people too strange, but she really couldn't pretend to be naughty of the original owner.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was interested in her little daughter, Mu Shi was even more happy, and hurriedly explained: "Auntie, she used to be very naughty, but a few months ago she fell into the water, fell ill, and was frightened. ”

Old Mrs. Zhou nodded and didn't ask any more, but stretched out her hand to the two children, "Come here!" ”

Ye Xi smiled and pulled Ye Yun, and the two sisters stepped forward, and Mrs. Zhou took out a hollow gold hairpin inlaid with rubies from her head and gave it to Ye Xi, and took down a jade bracelet as green as water from her left hand to Ye Yun.

The two sisters saluted again, and Mrs. Zhou took a deep look at Ye Yun, and then noticed that she had a pair of round chirping eyes, not big or small, her eyes were as calm as water, and she had a calm and calm demeanor.

She secretly exclaimed again, this little girl is amazing.

Mu Rong glanced at the golden hairpin that Ye Xi held in her hand, and saw that the ruby was as big as a pigeon's egg, so she knew that it was very golden, and saw that the jade bracelet on Ye Yun's wrist was as green as water, without a trace of impurities, it was definitely a high-grade jade, she was not too embarrassed to say: "Auntie, this gift is too valuable!" Mrs. Wen was also excited.

Mrs. Zhou glanced at their mother and daughter with a smile, "I like these two children!" ”

As soon as the old lady's voice fell, a room full of daughters-in-law praised her, not to mention anything else, fifteen-year-old Ye Xi is indeed very good-looking, and thirteen-year-old Ye Yun Although his appearance has not yet opened, his temperament is there. Mu Shi felt that his face was very bright, and seeing that Mrs. Zhou's face was not as serious as when she first came in, the stone in her heart fell.

She immediately introduced the gifts she brought to Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Zhou looked at her three picks, and knew that they were all very valuable, so she couldn't help but shake her head, and pointed at Mu Rong and said, "You, what are you doing so politely!" ”

She knew the meaning of Mu's intention, so she raised her voice to a daughter-in-law and ordered: "Old family, you take your two granddaughters to the water pavilion and play with the girls at home, and I will talk to Sister Wen and Sister Rong!" ”

Mu Shi's expression was a little relieved when she heard this, it seems that Mrs. Zhou is going to take the initiative to get down to business, and it is also said that she has come to the door with a heavy gift, and she is a blood relative, her grandfather and Changfangtang's grandfather are brothers, and outsiders still have to help, let alone relatives!

Mrs. Zhou's daughter-in-law, Xu, took Ye Xi and Ye Yun out of the banquet room, and instructed Mama and the eldest maid to lead them to the girls in the long room to play.

The old lady Wen opened her mouth first, and told Mrs. Zhou about Ye Huai, and the old lady Zhou thought about it carefully, and said to Mu Rong: "Sister Rong, I already asked your uncle last night, and he said that now is the time for the three-year selection, and the officials are busy with these things. ”

Mu Shi's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and his heart sank, how could the Ye family be able to ride the lintel of the old house, and the eldest uncle, the left servant of the ministry, could not go around, she smiled and said: "Uncle, I also hope that you will talk to your uncle a few words, let your uncle say good things, and you need to know what you need, just tell your niece!" ”

Mrs. Zhou knew her intentions, and held her hand with her backhand and said: "Your uncle will naturally help, but you have to show up in person, so let's do it, ten days later, it will be Bai Shangshu's widow's fifty-ninth birthday, when the sixty congratulations, I heard that it will be a big event, I will take you with me, you can prepare a congratulatory gift!" ”

Mu Shi and Mrs. Wen brightened up when they heard this, their smiles were like winter snow melting, and Mu Shi hurriedly asked, "Auntie, do you know the old lady's preferences?" "Give a gift exactly what you like.

Mrs. Zhou pulled her and said softly.

Mu had a bottom in his heart.
