Chapter 2: The Tricky Cousin
Here Ye Yun and Ye Xi followed a big girl and grandmother next to the big lady of the long house to the water pavilion, out of the Rong'an Courtyard and walked forward through a courtyard planted with pomegranate trees on both sides, which is an open stream and lake, surrounded by weeping willows, pavilions and pavilions can be seen everywhere along the coast, when walking on the embankment in the middle, the breeze with the breath of duckweed fluttered over, Ye Yun actually felt refreshed.
From afar, Ye Xi saw that there were many figures in the open pavilion in the middle of the embankment, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time, she turned her head to look at Ye Yun, and saw that she had fallen behind several steps at some point, so she stopped and waited for her, and found that Ye Yun raised her chin slightly, as if she was enjoying this good spring, but she felt that her sister looked sad, and Ye Xi was confused.
In the past, she was an older sister, although her sister was naughty, she always listened to her, but now her sister also listens to her, but she feels that there are some differences, what is the difference, Ye Xi doesn't understand.
Ye Xi stretched out his hand and pulled Ye Yun to walk faster, they were guests, and they had to stay in the Mu family for a while, so they had to get acquainted with their cousins first.
The two of them each took a big maid to follow behind the Mu family's grandmother and the girl, and finally arrived at the open pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Someone had already gone to report it from the open pavilion, so when the Ye sisters entered, a group of girls dressed up in fancy clothes and some sons in bright clothes opened their eyes and looked at them.
"Ye Xi and his sister Ye Yun have met all cousins and cousins!" Ye Xi pulled Ye Yun and gave a generous salute.
"It turned out to be the two cousins of the Ye family, I haven't seen them for three years, and they don't know each other anymore!"
The one who spoke was a handsome young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his voice was also very hearty.
He was talking about the time when the old man in the third room died, and the Ye family took their two children to Beijing once.
Ye Xi couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him, knowing that he was Mu Wenqing, the eldest young master of the Changfang.
Ye Xi hurriedly curtsied, "I've seen Cousin Qing!" Then he greeted the other cousins and cousins in the open pavilion one by one.
I saw them three years ago, and I still know each other in general. It turned out that Mu Wenzhou, the cousin of the second room, had brought an antique, and he was watching it with the sisters and brothers in the long room!
Mu Wenzhou's gaze wandered on Ye Xi intentionally or unintentionally, I have to say that Ye Xi is a rare beauty, with a pair of big eyes that are watery, like washed gemstones, like talking, very pleasing and likable.
Ye Xi had already brought some sisters of the Mu family beads and novel jewelry from Yangzhou, so the girls here all knew her, and soon everyone talked about it, Ye Xi is also a smart person, he speaks without flattery, but it makes people happy, and he is happy.
However, Ye Yun behaved very coldly, and she had no intention of looking at anyone, anyway, it was enough to have a sister who was hot with them, she had never flattered anyone in her previous life, nor did she offend anyone, just like a deep valley orchid, blooming freely.
She glanced at it slightly, and saw a blue and white porcelain on a pear blossom wood table in the middle, which looked a bit like Yuan blue and white. Before she could take a closer look, she heard a shrill voice rushing towards her.
"Are you Ye Yun? I'm not mistaken, you ripped off a pearl necklace from me last time you came, and you said that you brought the sea pearls back to me, what? When you come to see me this time, you won't forget about it! ”
The young lady's loud voice caught everyone's attention for a while.
Ye Yun looked stunned, where did she remember such a thing, she raised her eyes to look at the girl, and saw her bangs combed on her forehead, and a pair of apricot eyes glared at her angrily.
Ye Xi was shocked, hurriedly walked over, stood between the two, and grabbed Ye Yun with one hand, for fear that she would be angry.
While talking to the eldest lady of the long room, Mu Yancui: "Cousin Cui, we brought some pearl necklaces, and we will find one for you!" She hurried and muddy.
"Cousin Xi, I don't want you, I want her, in addition to the sea pearl necklace, she also said to the shell!" Mu Yancui raised her chin and looked at Ye Yun,
Ye Xi heard the words, she also forgot about it, she wanted to cover up the past, but she didn't expect that there was a sea shell, which showed embarrassment.
"Cousin, Sister Yun had a serious illness a while ago, and I forgot about it a little!" Ye Xi explained for Ye Yun. Mu Yancui was one year older than her, at the age of sixteen.
When her grandfather died three years ago, Mu Yancui came to worship Ling, Ye Yun saw that she was arrogant, the corners of her mouth turned up with a sneer, and there was no sadness, so she went over to theorize and scolded Mu Yancui for having no rules, and the two of them fought on the edge of Xiangtang, Ye Yun had a strong body since he was a child, he was alive and jumping, he ate much and grew fast, and he was taller than Mu Yancui.
Where is Mu Yancui's opponent, she was beaten by Ye Yun and cried straight at the moment, so angry that she pulled Ye Yun's hair, and Ye Yun was angry and pulled the pearl necklace around her neck. Later, it was the elders who persuaded Fang to stop, Ye Yun was a cheerful woman who was one and two was two, she pulled someone's pearl necklace, and said on the spot that she would pay a string of sea pearls and a sea shell to Mu Yancui in the future.
Mrs. Zhou is a sensible person, knowing that Mu Yancui has always been arrogant, so she punished her to kneel in the ancestral hall, and also disciplined Mu Yancui fiercely, Mu Yancui has been lawless in the Mu family since she was a child, where has she been subjected to such a rejection, and she hates Ye Yun so much at the moment that she has an itchy tooth, and that hatred is still remembered.
Although afterwards, Mrs. Sanfang Wen sent someone to send her a string of pearl necklaces, but Mu Yancui's anger did not disappear at all. Seeing Ye Yun coming to the Mu family today, she still has to stay for a while, and secretly heard her mother say that the Ye family wants to please Changfang, her arrogance came out of her head, and she vowed to make Ye Yun bow her head and admit defeat.
This time, Mu Yancui finally caught Ye Yun's handle, where was the sentence "I forgot to get sick" and sent it away!
Mu Yancui pointed at Ye Yun and straightened his waist and said, "I don't care, Ye Yun, aren't you proud of yourself and the most trustworthy?" What about the sea pearl necklace and the sea shell that is good! ”
She didn't have anything good in her makeup, she just recognized it.
Ye Xi knew that Mu Yancui didn't want things, but wanted to embarrass Ye Yun, she couldn't help but have a headache, in fact, how many times had she already given the apology, but Mu Yancui couldn't help but grasp this, she couldn't help but look at Ye Yun, for the sake of her father, it was not appropriate to offend the long house now, not to mention that her mother was discussing with Mrs. Zhou inside!
She hoped that Ye Yun would be a little soft, although she felt that her sister was a little aggrieved, but she was helpless, who asked the Ye family to ask someone to do something now!
Ye Yun looked at Mu Yancui lightly, her dark eyes had a different depth from the past, although she was not delicate in her previous life, she was noble enough, her mother was the eldest princess of the dynasty, no matter inside or outside the palace, no one had ever spoken loudly in front of her, Mu Yancui was so aggressive, she was naturally unhappy, but she was also interested in talking to a little girl.
She smiled faintly, and the smile floated on her fair and immature face, which was quite fresh and elegant.
"I really don't remember, my sister's things are naturally mine, I'll give you a string of sea pearls later, as for the shells... It was originally something to play with, but after I got sick, I didn't go out for almost half a year, so I didn't pick shells! Ye Yun is not angry, not annoyed, not hurried, and the thirteen-year-old eyebrows have a free and easy charm.
Of course, all of the people present are some teenage boys and girls, where can they taste the charm of a girl who has not yet grown.
When Ye Yun said this, there was naturally no rudeness, but it seemed that Mu Yancui was very tricky and stingy.
Mu Yancui's brother Mu Wenqing immediately opened his mouth to persuade: "Sister, don't embarrass the second cousin of the Ye family, the Ye family has already sent someone to give you a gift, and the old lady in the third room also gave you a pearl necklace and bracelet earlier, it is not right for you to ask the second cousin for something!" ”
He is Mu Yancui's biological brother, and he speaks naturally and straightforwardly.
Ye Xi saw him talking to his sister, and threw a smile at him, this smile can be described as the first release of Hanlian, it is beautiful, not only Mu Wenqing is Mu Wenzhou on the side also stayed for a while, it is really beautiful!
Mu Wenqing's face was flushed when he said this, seeing that his brother was still helping outsiders to speak, her heart was puffing up, obviously Ye Yun's words didn't count this time, how could she blame her for not being forgiving in the end, she still glared at Ye Yun:
"I didn't ask you for it, you said it yourself, I don't want those things of yours, you accompany me, call me sister, and this matter will be revealed!" After speaking, she rolled up the embroidered handkerchief and looked up at the top.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many people in the cabinet changed.
A trivial thing that deserves a solemn apology? Besides, Ye Yun didn't say no, she didn't want it herself, she was embarrassed by Ye Yun.
Mu Yancui secretly thought that it was best to make Ye Yun angry, and it was a big deal to fight again, anyway, now that the third aunt and grandmother have something to ask for a long house, they will not have to bow down and apologize at that time? She has never suffered a loss in anyone's hands since she was a child, but the big loss was in Ye Yun's hands, so she naturally had to take care of her.
Ye Xi was a little sweaty holding Ye Yun's hand, and it was not a big deal to apologize and shout at her sister, but their sisters only lived in the Ye family, and forced Ye Yun to apologize for no reason, which was too embarrassing for the Ye family, and when the time came, not only her mother but also her grandmother couldn't raise her head.
If you don't do this, how can you get rid of this Mu Yancui? If Mu Yancui chewed the root of her tongue next to her mother's ear, wouldn't her mother go to Mrs. Zhou to say a few words, wouldn't it affect her father's future?
Ye Xi is not embarrassed.
Mu Wenqing frowned at this time, "Sister, don't mess around, the cousin of the Ye family is a guest, how can someone apologize to you for no reason when he first came!" ”
Mu Yancui snorted coldly, shook the embroidered handkerchief in Ye Yun's direction, and sneered: "It turns out that the Ye family is such a tutor, dare not do it!" ”
"......." Ye Xi was angry, how could she say that, how could the Ye family dare to do it!
Mu Yancui said too much, and the other sisters of the Mu family also came to persuade her, Mu Wenqing glanced at Ye Yun embarrassedly, Mu Yancui was pampered by the eldest lady of the long house, and developed a dustless temperament, except for the old lady, no one listened.
Ye Yun's expression finally moved at this time, she didn't hesitate to compete with a little girl, but if she didn't give her an explanation, she was afraid that it would affect Mu and Ye Huai's affairs, and she couldn't make trouble.
She suddenly had an idea.
