Chen Fangshi saw that Aunt Li's clothes were not as gorgeous as the master in Ye's mansion, and he heard her call her a concubine, so he knew that she must be Ye Yuanzhi's aunt, and he felt a little more confident in his heart, straightened his neck and sneered: "You don't recognize me, let me tell you, my mother is a sister to your master's mother, I am your master's cousin Fang Yi, and my husband's surname is Chen."

Aunt Li just came back and saw such a scene, and she also had some plans in her heart, she was quite happy when she heard that relatives came to the family to pick her up, but after making the silver, she knew that it was Ye Tanghua who proposed to take her back, and she muttered in her heart, and now she saw that as expected, Ye Tanghua took her back, and she must not be able to deal with these people! Not to mention the people on the side, the woman in front of her with straight eyebrows and staring eyes is not easy to deal with.

Thinking of this, Aunt Li smiled slightly and bent her eyes, and said calmly: "It turned out to be the master's cousin, that concubine is really rude, the concubine sees that you are alone here, what kind of person should you be a person who smokes abundance." The concubine Li is the person who serves by my lord's side, and now Madame's mother and children are here, I don't know where your husband is? Why don't you come out and meet us? ”

Aunt Li's words can be regarded as directly poking Chen Fang's and Mrs. Fang's sore feet, these two women are all young and widowed, especially Chen Fang's knew Ye Yuanzhi at the beginning, Ye Yuanzhi was not in high school at that time, Chen Fang's looked down on him, he was expecting to marry a promising man to enjoy happiness, but he didn't expect Ye Yuanzhi to win the trick and enter the eyes of the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and since then, she has fallen to the point where she is today, the psychological gap is quite large, and listening to Aunt Li's words, her face became more and more embarrassed.

Chen Jiao bit her lower lip and threw herself in front of Aunt Li, tears flowing down like raindrops: "How can Auntie talk like this!" We are already very sad when our father died, how can you talk about our sadness like that? How can you be so cruel! We are so helpless and miserable, why do you rub salt in our wounds! In any case, we are also relatives of our cousin, and we don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha. ”

It was dark just now, Aunt Li didn't look at Chen Jiao who was kneeling in front of Ye Tanghua and crying, but now she suddenly saw a woman rushing over with tears streaming down her face, and she couldn't help but scream and hide behind Ye Yuanzhi: "Oh, where did this little girl come from?" If you see it, you'll pounce again, where is the old man still here! is such a big girl, I don't know if men and women are intimate? Although the master is your elder, he is also a man! The rules in this capital are big! If you make such a mess, it's easy to ruin the official reputation of our master! ”

Ye Yuanzhi frowned, looking at Chen Jiao, who was still not giving up, he only felt a headache, and waved his hand: "Come on, help Miss Chen up!" What are the words like crying and crying, the New Year is not over yet! I'm not afraid of bad luck! ”

Ye Yuanzhi gave an order, and several mothers-in-law stepped forward to help Chen Jiao up directly. said that it was to help it up, but in fact it was almost the same as catching it, Chen Jiao wanted to use the trick that she couldn't afford to rely on the ground, but these mothers-in-law also do rough work all year round, and a little girl who pulled her up was still caught by hand, no matter how Chen Jiao struggled, she couldn't kneel on the ground again, she had tears on her face, and she looked very embarrassed, and a mother-in-law also "kindly" wiped her tears with coarse cloth sleeves, which made Chen Jiao's face red.

Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chen Jiao was restrained, walked out from behind Ye Yuanzhi, and said to Chen Jiao "seriously": "Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Chen, the concubine really doesn't know that Master Chen has gone, but then again, how can the concubine know?" You don't wear linen and you don't wear filial piety, can I guess that your master is gone? If you guess wrong, don't say it's rude, it's also unlucky! ”

After that, Aunt Li's eyes rolled and fell on Chen Xu, and when she saw Chen Xu lying on the ground humming and pretending to be dead, she couldn't help but pull out a coquettish smile: "Oh, poor thing, no wonder this child is so anxious to find his own relatives!" But after all, the rules in Beijing are so big, even if you want to ask for a kiss, you can't be so red-mouthed and white-toothed! Just now, I heard in a trance that it was Chen Gongzi who wanted to ask the second and third misses for marriage? I don't know how many of your three media and six hires have been prepared? How much is the bride price? My wife is the most charitable, even the eldest lady has a reward of one hundred taels of silver, you have to prepare less for this dowry, and Mrs. is afraid that she is reluctant to let her daughter marry! ”

The old lady Fang and Chen Fang's, Chen Xu, and Chen Jiao were all silent, these people looked at each other, and they were all made speechless by Aunt Li, Ye Tanghua casually rewarded the next person is one hundred taels, but all the property of several of them may not be one hundred taels together, the Ye family's family is so high, they just want to marry the girl of the Ye family, and they can't prepare a dowry!

Ye Tanghua looked at it from the side and smiled, Aunt Li is really good at dealing with people like Chen Fang's who don't know the height of the sky, but she has to prevent Aunt Li from talking about the contradictions in and out of their words to their descendants, Aunt Li just mentioned that she was rewarding people, just to let Chen Fang's goal of pumping Feng to her, but unfortunately, Chen Fang's didn't have that brain, Aunt Li was in vain this time.

Old Madam Fang gritted her teeth and sneered, "Who said that our family Xu'er was going to marry the two of them?" Xu Er is only eight years old, and he is rich and rich, and the fortune teller has also criticized him for having a great creation and being able to glorify his ancestors, so he naturally wants to marry the daughter of a wealthy family, maybe he can still be the master! Xu'er just wants to be close to her two younger sisters, who knew it would be like this! Tang girl's heart is too ruthless, and someone beat Xu'er like this! If Xu'er has something three long and two short, don't you want our lives? ”

At the mention of Ye Tanghua, Aunt Li suddenly didn't want to speak, thought about it and said: "Oh, this fight is really hard enough, I can't even see the appearance of a person!" ”

Ye Tanghua frowned and glanced at Old Lady Fang: "Brother and sister are not close to Jingli, don't you see that the boys in our family haven't come out to meet guests today?" That's because they're all studying at the academy! The man in my Shangshu Mansion still doesn't dare to boast of having a great creation, but Brother Xu dares, and he doesn't understand the words of his parents, and he doesn't know where he got the confidence? If he has any three longs and two shorts, I will go and ask the Son of Heaven to plead guilty, and see if I have fought right! Speaking of which, I am also the one who beat for the innocence of my two sisters, and the old lady is not happy, do you want me to send my brother to my two sisters now? ”

One sentence frightened Ye Tanyou's face drastically: "Never!" It is not appropriate for such a disciple to let him wander freely, so how can we send him to us? ”

Ye Tanghua shrugged and said, "No way, the old lady said that I didn't fight right, doesn't that mean that my brother did the right thing?" In that case, then I can only follow my brother's wishes. ”

"It's nonsense! As a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, how can I not be strict with men and women in my family! Xu'er doesn't have to live in Jingxue Pavilion, don't you have a great creation, and you are only eight buckets high and rich and five cars? Tomorrow will send you to the academy to study, men want to glorify their ancestors, of course, they have to go through the imperial examination, and they are mixed among the women in the backyard all day long, do you really want to enter the palace as a eunuch in the future! Ye Yuanzhi's face turned cold, and he glared at Chen Xu, and Chen Xu was frightened.

Mrs. Fang thought about it, it was also such a reason, Ye Yuanzhi was a person with a lot of money at the beginning, and after taking the imperial examination, isn't he also a high-ranking official and a beautiful concubine? Their family Chen Xu is much stronger than Ye Yuanzhi at the beginning, and he must be more promising after taking the imperial examination, and he will no longer have to rely on Ye Yuanzhi when the time comes, maybe Ye Yuanzhi will still ask for their family!

Ye Tanghua thought about it, smiled suddenly, and said to Ye Yuanzhi: "Father, the academy where my younger brothers study is not accepted, I'm afraid that it is not appropriate for Brother Xu to go there, why don't you take my name and send Brother Xu to the Mu family's house to study?" The Mu family is also a famous teacher, the threshold is still low, and they are all relatives, so I think they can see Brother Gu Xu more than elsewhere. ”

Ye Tanghua said that, and winked at Ye Yuanzhi, Ye Yuanzhi was stunned, and immediately understood what Ye Tanghua meant, glanced at Aunt Li, and said with a smile: "It's still Tang'er's thoughtfulness, so let's do it, Xu'er will sleep in the study with me tonight, and go to the Mu family's house tomorrow to learn to study!" The imperial examination is coming, you use some work, and when the time comes, the title of the gold list will be honored, and the ancestors will be glorified! ”

Chen Xu's face was hurt when he was beaten, and he heard that he was going to move out of the backyard full of women, and he was unwilling to do so, but then he heard Ye Yuanzhi mention the title of the gold list, and he suddenly became interested, although there are many beauties in the backyard of the Ye family, after all, it is someone else's, he looks at it dryly, but he can't get close, if one of them doesn't go well, he will have to be beaten, it's really not cost-effective, it's better to take the fame first, and when the time comes, if you have the right and money, how many beauties can't get it? Wait until that day, when he comes to get close to the sisters of the Ye family, they still have to stick to him desperately?

He thought about it, and immediately grinned, regardless of whether his face hurt or not, he saluted Ye Yuanzhi: "Thank you cousin uncle for cultivation, my nephew must study hard, strive to be a champion in the exam, come back to be a big official and make a fortune, and glorify his ancestors!" ”

Ye Yuanzhi, who listened to the words, frowned, and reluctantly waved his hand at him: "Okay, okay, let's go, let's go, let's disperse." ”

After such a fuss, no one had the intention of having a reunion dinner, and the original purpose of taking Aunt Li back was left behind by everyone.

When Ye Tanghua returned to the house, dinner had been set up, Ye Tanghua sat at the table, unconsciously thought of today's poisoning, her thoughts drifted farther and farther, and when she thought about it and came back to her senses, Yuqiu had already put her chopsticks in place, and said with a smile: "Miss, the slave has experienced, these meals are not poisonous, you can eat them with confidence." ”

Ye Tanghua lifted the chopsticks with a sigh, felt that something was wrong and stopped, she raised her head and looked at Yuqiu: "What kind of poison did you try?" ”

"Test the poison jade, the slave saw the test poison jade on the dressing table, and thought that it should be left by the prince, so she took it and tried it...... Is there anything wrong with what the slave is doing? Yuqiu blinked, and the more she spoke, the more worried she became.

"It's not...... The test poison jade is in my sleeve, what are you taking? Ye Tanghua was stunned for a moment, and took out the jade card that she had put away from the table before leaving, and the jade card in her palm was still glowing.
