After the second old man Ye Chengxun dispersed, he and his colleagues went to the restaurant for dinner before coming back, bowing his head and sighing as he walked.

These days, his mood can be described as a big ups and downs, first the eldest brother came back, shocked, he was scared half to death, for fear that the eldest brother knew what he had done back then, and would come to him for revenge. Then the old lady was wounded and irritated, and she couldn't even speak, and now he didn't even have anyone to discuss important matters. Unexpectedly, the eldest brother treated him no different from usual, he didn't seem to know what he had done at all, and the eldest brother also resigned from the government due to illness, which is really good. Two days after being happy, Ye Li participated in the martial arts again, I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect that in the six martial arts competitions, Ye Li actually ranked first in four of them, plus the art of war strategy, it is likely to be the champion of martial arts.

Ye Chenghun sighed heavily, the eldest brother was idle at home, so there was nothing to be afraid of, but Ye Li emerged again, Why is this big house getting more and more powerful, "If it goes on like this, when will it be my turn?" He felt that he was getting farther and farther away from the throne of the Hou Ye.

"What is the second brother's turn to do?" A deep, powerful voice.

Ye Chenghun looked up, facing the eyes of the Hou Ye who seemed to be smiling, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly squeezed out a smile, "It's the matter of the Ministry of Industry, and it's upset to say it, don't say it, where is the eldest brother going?" ”

"I'm going to go to Shou'antang." Hou Ye and Ye Chengxun walked side by side, "Let's go, I have something to announce tonight, so I'll wait for you." ”

Ye Chengxun was apprehensive, walking with Hou Ye, he always had an inexplicable sense of oppression, and he always felt that it would not be a good thing for him to have something to announce.

Since the old lady fell ill, everyone still maintained the practice of morning and dusk, but they all came to go through the motions, showed up and left. Tonight, Hou Ye said something in advance, and everyone sat on the chairs and waited.

Ye Chengyuan smiled and looked at the Meng family who was sitting opposite, and then looked at the Mei family, "Third brother and sister, your sister-in-law is unwell and may have to rest for a while, I don't know if the third brother and sister are willing to temporarily take care of the middle feed for a period of time?" ”

"Huh?" Mei Shi was caught off guard by the question, she has always cared about the trivial matters in the family, but she didn't expect that the matter to be announced tonight was related to herself, "This, this, I have never taken care of the feed, I really won't, otherwise, let the second sister-in-law come out to take care of it for a few days, and wait for the sister-in-law to get better." ”

The third old man, Ye Chengshu, glanced at Mei's family, his eyes were dark, such a good thing, she actually pushed it out, what is so difficult about this feed, it can be learned now. Although the pampered daughter of the noble family has brought great benefits to her official career, she is too lacking in her own ability, not to mention that she is not as good as the Meng family, and even the Qi family is not comparable.

"It's okay, since the third brother and sister are unwilling, they are not reluctant." He didn't really plan to let her take care of it, this feed looked inconspicuous, but now is the critical moment when his wife is pregnant, but he doesn't worry about handing it over to the person in the second or third room, Ye Chengyuan said with a smile: "The mistake made by the second brother and sister is too serious, it's better not to let it out." As for the feed, this time was jointly managed by me and Qianqian, Qianqian also studied with her mother for a while, and I happened to be at home and checked for her. ”

"Big brother and Sister Qian?" Mei looked at Ye Chengyuan in surprise, the dignified marquis managed the middle feed in the family, and he was not ashamed, "It's not bad." However, what's wrong with my sister-in-law's body, is it again-" She just wanted to say that she was poisoned again, but fortunately stopped in time.

Hou Ye looked at Meng Shi with a smile, "Madam, she is pregnant, and the doctor told her not to work hard, but to cultivate more." Compared with people in their teens and twenties, his wife is older after all, and he doesn't dare to be careless.

"What?!" Mei stood up in surprise, "Sister-in-law has ...... Pregnant? ”

Not only the Mei family, but the others present were also surprised, Ye Chenghun sighed, this is really not a good thing for him, now, he feels that there is almost no hope for the throne of the Hou Ye.

Meng Shi's hand was gently placed on her lower abdomen, although she had not yet puffed up, she had a feeling of blood connection, "It's still a young month, but the doctor has already confirmed it." ”

"W-This is really...... It's amazing. Mei Shi muttered, her heart gushed with infinite hope, sister-in-law is thirty-three years old this year, and she can still have a pregnant child, then she is only twenty-seven years old, younger than her sister-in-law, of course. She looked at Ye Chengshu excitedly, as long as they worked a little harder, maybe there would be good news soon.

Ye Chengshu smiled in his eyes, it seemed to be so gentle, of course he understood what Mei meant, but it was just a child, he didn't want it.

"Why is Ye Qian's tube feed? She's only nine years old! The three sisters in the second room also reacted at this time, Ye Fu and Ye Zhi didn't dare to say anything, but Ye Rong couldn't help jumping out, "Don't say that I'm one year older than her, I'm the big sister, I'm thirteen years old, isn't it more suitable than her?!" ”

"Sister Rong! Don't be unreasonable to Hou Ye. Ye Chengxun scolded in his mouth, but he didn't say that Ye Rong was unreasonable.

Hou Ye didn't care, "According to age, Sister Fu'er is indeed more suitable." Sister Nafu'er, how much does the egg on the market sell for a pound? ”

"What?" Ye Fu was dumbfounded, she knew what eggs tasted like, but she didn't know the price of eggs. She looked at her father for help, but Ye Chenghun couldn't help her, because he didn't know either.

Ye Fu could only shake her head helplessly, "I don't know." ”

Hou Ye looked at his daughter, and Ye Qian said without hesitation: "It's roughly six yuan, sometimes higher, sometimes lower, the difference is only one penny." Since Meng Shi got better, she stuck to her mother every day, watched her mother handle housework countless times, and was also taught by her mother to read many account books, which did not bother her.

Hou Ye nodded, "Talent, ability, and knowledge, these have nothing to do with age, and Sister Fu can't be in charge of the feed." What's more, although Sister Qian'er is small, there is still me, Sister Qian and I are in charge of the house together, if anyone is still not convinced, just come to compare. ”

In this case, who dares to challenge Master Hou. Ye Chenghun glared at Ye Rong and motioned for her to stop.

In this way, the matter of the feed was settled, and the Hou Ye specially entered the inner room, and said to the old lady who was lying on the bed and staring at him: "Old lady, madam, she is pregnant, you say this is not a great joy?" ”

In fact, when they were talking in the hall, the old lady could hear it, and when she heard that Meng was pregnant, she was so angry that she really wanted to jump, but unfortunately, she couldn't get up anymore, and she couldn't even scold or curse in a low voice. She shouted "whine" in her mouth, don't think she doesn't know, the reason why she fell down was the ghost of the Meng family!

"What do you say? Are you congratulating me? Ye Chengyuan leaned down, whispered a few words in the old lady's ear, and then got up and left.

"Woo, woo!" The old lady's eyes widened in horror, and she said something desperately, but alas, no one could understand.

Back in the hall, the people in the second and third rooms had already left. Ye Chengyuan carefully took Meng's hand and walked towards the outside of the courtyard. He casually glanced at Ye Chengxun's back in the distance, not only would he not hand it over, but even some vicious people couldn't stay.

The next day, Hou Ye and Ye Qian really sat in the big flower hall, Meng Shi was not at ease, so he put a soft chair on the side and sat on it to listen. As for Ye Li, he went to the Yuwang Mansion, he booked a table of banquets in Tianxianglou and asked them to send them to the Yuwang Mansion, ready to thank Zheng Han and the guards.

Although Ye Qian is only nine years old, none of the mothers-in-law in charge dare to take the opportunity to make trouble, not to mention that Meng Shi is listening to it on the sidelines, even Hou Ye, who is not a person who can fool. Meng listened for half an hour, but Hou Ye didn't speak, and his daughter handled it in an orderly and reasonable manner. She was relieved, and took Guixiang's hand back to Siyuan Hall.

Two days later, it was time for the martial arts to post the list.

Ye Qian was a little absent-minded in dealing with affairs all morning, but with her father reminding her, she didn't make a mistake. When the housekeepers and mothers-in-law finished their affairs and dispersed, Ye Qian stretched and complained softly: "Why is there no news yet?" "The little guy sent to see the list hasn't come back yet, and there are no gongs and drums at the door, is there an accident, my brother didn't pass the exam?

Facing the housekeepers, a small face is stilted, very serious, and then no one shows the original appearance of the little girl. Ye Chengyuan gently took his little daughter's hand, patted it gently, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, it's still early." ”

As he was talking, he heard the sound of firecrackers outside, and Ye Qian jumped up suddenly, "Daddy, let's go, take a look!" ”

Ye Qian took her father's hand and couldn't wait to run, but Hou Ye wanted to maintain his demeanor, he could take a bigger step, but he would not run.

When I got out of the second door, I saw the little girl running over, the clothes on his body were crooked, and he saw his own master and girl, one jumped high, "Hit!" Hit! The son of the world has won the champion! "His own Hou Ye is the champion of literature, and his own son is the champion of martial arts, he feels that he is honored, he goes out with a light on his face, and walks with the wind under his feet.

"Great!" Ye Qian jumped up, "Reward!" ”

Lu Fei, who followed behind him, handed a silver ingot to the little guy, and the little guy smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, "Thank you, girl!" ”

Ye Qian got rid of her father and ran to find her brother. At this time, Ye Li was still performing in the martial arts arena, competing with a big stone pier, and in his six competitions, only weight-bearing and wrestling had no ranking, and he was deeply ashamed, so he practiced if he had nothing to do.

"Brother!" Seeing his sister running towards him, Ye Li's hand quickly rubbed twice on his clothes, bent down, and caught his sister who rushed over, but he didn't pick her up like before, he just hugged her in his arms and let go. My sister is a year older, and my father and mother don't let him hug him, and King Yu's eyes are also warnings.

"Brother! Brother! Ye Qian jumped and jumped happily, "Hit, hit!" Champion! ”

Ye Li smiled and rubbed her head, he had four of them, plus he was skilled in the art of war, he had already guessed that this would be the result, and when he heard the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums at the door just now, he knew it.

Ye Qian's big apricot eyes smiled crookedly, and two small pear vortices on her white and tender cheeks, "Champion Lang!" Daddy is the champion, and my brother is also the champion! ”
