CHAPTER XLIV

Ye Chengxun escaped from the criminal department unharmed, Ye Li's mood was very bad, King Yu was also a little guilty, feeling that he was not strong enough and thoughtless, so that the eldest brother was wronged, so he invited him to live in the palace for a few days, promised to accompany him every day to discuss the art of war and strategy, and asked the chief of the guard, Zheng Han, to accompany him to perform martial arts at any time.

Ye Li suddenly became excited, and brought all the books on the art of war he had read to King Yu's mansion, last time he had seen King Yu's talent and learned, since he had such a good opportunity, then he would not be polite to take out all his doubts and discuss them. and Zheng Han, who has seen his ability to shoot two arrows together, he has always been very envious, and he has been recalling it in his heart for a long time, but he can't understand the essentials, this time he has to ask for advice. It just so happened that he and the thieves fought to the death, and they also had some new insights, so let's practice them together this time. As for the second room, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, as long as he practices his own skills well, sooner or later he will have to seek justice for himself and his father.

Ye Li went to King Yu's Mansion in a hurry, but Ye Qian didn't follow, she knew that her brother was in a bad mood, and it would be better to have King Yu with him. However, the elder brother was assassinated, but the second uncle had nothing to do, and her mother was not happy, so she wanted to stay at home with her mother.

Meng has been sick for seven years, and he often talks for a while, and his spirit is short, and he doesn't have much time to get along with his daughter, but now that he is in good health, he can't wait to take his baby daughter with him from time to time, Ye Qian is also very sticky to her, her brother is not there, she simply accompanies her mother, and sometimes lunch is also used together.

Meng Shi deals with the affairs of the palace in the big flower hall every morning, she has been in charge of the Hou Mansion before she got sick, and she is familiar with the road, these things are very easy for her, and she will explain the doorway to her daughter who is with her in her free time, and her daughter will inevitably be in charge of the inner courtyard of the Yuwang Mansion in the future, and now she knows more, and she will not be fooled in the future.

Jiping Houfu was calm for a while, and soon, it was the reunion festival.

Because it was a day for the whole family to reunite, the old lady specially ordered that the Qi family come out of the small courtyard to participate in the family banquet that night, and then return to the small courtyard tomorrow.

Meng sneered in his heart, they were reunited as a family, but they caused their family to be separated, fortunately, God has eyes, Hou Ye is still alive, and it is possible to come back next year, maybe next year's reunion festival, his family will really be reunited.

Qi was locked up in the small courtyard for so long, because he had to copy Buddhist scriptures, he naturally couldn't eat meat, he was green vegetables and tofu every day, and when he saw the table full of delicacies, his eyes were green, and his chopsticks frequently stretched out to those big fish and meat.

Ye Rong leaned on Qi's side and whispered to her about her grievances, what moon silver is only three taels not enough to spend, what things in the house are getting more and more ugly, and what tea clothes are not as good as before...... After babbling for a long time, seeing that her mother didn't seem to pay attention at all, she patted her arm angrily, "Mother, did you listen to me?" ”

"Uh-huh, listen." Qi bit the chicken leg in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Now your eldest aunt is in charge, and your mother can't be the master for you, just do everything you want, don't worry too much." ”

Ye Rong shook her arm dissatisfiedly, and pouted and complained: "If everyone is like this, I have nothing to worry about, but the things in Ye Qian's house are getting better and better, and now they are all surpassing me!" ”

Qi Shi easily swallowed the chicken legs, "This is the Jiping Hou Mansion, Sister Qian is the serious concubine of the Hou Ye, according to the rule, her moon silver and a tool are one level higher than you." ”

"What?!" Ye Rong screamed, and when she saw that everyone was looking at her, she hurriedly lowered her voice and asked in disbelief, "Ye Qian is one level higher than me?!" It's all a girl from the house, why is she nobler than me?! Since she was a child, she didn't eat as well as me! She is only one year older than Ye Qian, counting, since she was two years old, the Qi family has been in charge of the middle feed, and in her memory, she has always been more decent and noble than Ye Qian. Now when I heard that Ye Qian's identity was higher than her, I suddenly felt unacceptable.

Qi Shi glared at her, "What are you yelling about?" When I was in charge, naturally everything was close to you, and now that the Meng family is in charge, naturally everything is sent to Sister Qian'er, isn't it normal? "Whose children are hurt, not to mention that Ye Qian's share is already high, even if it is not high, the Meng family should also face her, in Qi's opinion, this is a natural thing, there is nothing to complain about.

Seeing that her mother didn't understand her grievances at all, Ye Rong didn't speak anymore angrily, and secretly glanced at Ye Qian, even if Ye Qian is one level higher now, when her sister becomes the princess in the future, she is a princess, see how noble she is?!

Ye Qian didn't notice Ye Rong's eyes at all, she sat beside Meng Shi beautifully, eating the dishes her mother gave her, this was the first time she had a reunion with her mother, although the whole family had not been reunited, but her father would come back sooner or later.

"Mother, there is also a family banquet in the palace today, right?" While eating, Ye Qian suddenly remembered King Yu, he said that during the New Year's holidays, he was often alone, which was very desolate.

"Yes." Meng Shi knew what she was thinking, and touched her head, "After the family banquet, the princes who have been crowned the king's branch will leave the palace and return to their own palace." "Speaking of which, there are four princes in the emperor, and all of them have been crowned kings.

"Oh." Ye Qian felt a little sorry for King Yu, the other three princes all got married and had princesses, during the family banquet, everyone else was a family, only King Yu was alone, and when he returned to the palace after the family banquet, he was the only one in the huge palace. Ye Qian absentmindedly took a bite of the tender cabbage heart, thinking that it would be good to go to the Yuwang Mansion to see him in a few days.

Halfway through the meal, the old lady was very interested, let people take out her treasured pear blossom white and hundred flowers brew, pear blossom white sent to the men's table, the hundred flowers are sweet and not strong, the most suitable for women to drink, the old lady let her big girl pour a cup for everyone one by one, not only the three wives have, the youngest Ye Rong Ye Qian also has.

The maid poured more than half a cup for Ye Qian, "The fourth girl is still young, it's enough to eat these." She raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Qian, gently took out the handkerchief, and wiped it on Ye Qian's mouth, "The corners of the fourth girl's mouth are stained with vegetable juice, and the slave maid will wipe it for you." ”

Ye Qian frowned and touched her mouth, she didn't feel that she had something on her mouth, but the maid's handkerchief had a strange smell, and it didn't seem to be very clean.

The big girl tucked the handkerchief back into her sleeve and continued to pour wine for everyone.

Ye Qian waited for her to leave, wiped her mouth again with her own handkerchief, Meng Shi smiled and touched her, the baby daughter loves to be clean, and the handkerchief of the dislike maid is not good.

After the dinner, Qi returned to the courtyard where he used to live, although the courtyard was still kept for her, but the people serving inside let Meng Shi be dismissed elsewhere, leaving only a few rough mothers-in-law to take care of and clean up.

Qi sat in front of the dresser, opened the empty makeup box and looked at it, sighed, she has no silver tickets now, and no valuable jewelry, fortunately, although she carried the black cauldron that poisoned Mrs. Hou, she was not sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, and her master went to the prison of the Criminal Department for a turn, and came out unharmed, and the family was finally in danger.

Qi Shi found a relatively new clothes to change into, and sat on the edge of the bed anxiously waiting for Ye Chengxun. After such a long time, she has forgiven Ye Chengxun for snatching her silver ticket, anyway, it is a family, from her hands to the master's hands, and it can be regarded as fat and water that does not flow into the fields of outsiders. However, when the old man comes, she wants to persuade him that the silver is all she has accumulated over the years, and I hope he can save a little, don't spend it all, and in the future, Brother Ji will marry a wife, Sister Fu and Sister Rong will marry, and there will be a lot of expenses.

sat for a long time, and didn't wait for Ye Chengxun. Qi couldn't sit still, even if he went back to freshen up and come over, it was time to arrive now. She went out and found a rough mother-in-law to come over, stuffed a few big coins over, and asked the mother-in-law to see where the master was.

It was a long time before the woman came back, and said that the old man had gone to the aunt of Xinna.

Qi was dumbfounded, Xinna's aunt? co-authored himself to suffer in the small courtyard, but he has a newcomer with warm nephrite? Even if he has a new aunt, he rarely comes out of the small courtyard once, shouldn't he come over to accompany him? The more Qi thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't wait to go to Ye Chengxun immediately to ask for clarification, but she was a little timid in her heart, what if she asked clearly, she would go back to the small courtyard early tomorrow morning, she had nothing now, Ye Chenghun was her reliance......

On this reunion festival, Meng looked at the full moon in the sky, thinking that Hou Ye didn't know what the situation was; Qi stared at the moon, worried about his future; Mei and the third master Ye Chengshu admired the moon in their own yard, Ye Chengshu took a grape, peeled the skin himself, and sent it to Mei's mouth.

The grapes are very sweet, but not as sweet as Mei's heart. Under the moonlight, Ye Chengshu was handsome and trimmed, and he sat there casually, which was as pleasing to the eye as a Zhilan jade tree. thought that at the beginning, she was moved by his skin, but after getting along, she found that his beauty was not only his appearance, but also his delicate and warm heart. Therefore, although Ye Chengshu was only the youngest son of the Hou Mansion at that time, with no fame and no future, she still married him without hesitation.

It turns out that she didn't look at the wrong person, the two have been married for so long, and they haven't blushed, only the only regret. Mei sighed softly, "In two years, when you are thirty years old, if we still don't have children, let's take one from the clan." ”

"What a stupid thing to say." Ye Chengshu pinched her nose, "I only need our own children, we are only in our twenties, what's the hurry, some people can still have children when they are forty years old." ”

Mei Shi snorted, "How can anyone give birth to a child at the age of forty, it's a pure lie!" ”

"Anyway, the Ye family's incense has Brother Li and Brother Foundation, and it doesn't have to be that we have children, so we are not allowed to mention the succession." Ye Chengshu took her in his arms, "Even if there are no children, just the two of us, it's good to spend a lifetime together like this." With you by my side in this life, I am already satisfied. ”

"Shulang!" Mei leaned on his arms, held his hand, and called out emotionally, with such a husband by her side in this life and this life, she has nothing else to ask for.

The two fingers clasped together, quietly leaning together, and the moon quietly shifted its position, and it seemed that it was about to dawn.

Mei straightened up, "Master, go." Ye Chengshu has a close friend, his life is miserable, he is the only one left in the family, Ye Chengshu is afraid that he will not be able to think about it, so he will go to drink a few drinks with him every reunion festival, and then leave at dawn.

"I want to accompany you, or I won't go." Ye Chengshu looked at Mei guiltily, looking a little hesitant.

"Go ahead." Mei stood up and pulled Ye Chengshu up, "Even if you are a friend, you should take care of it, besides, doesn't the master go every year?" Although she had never met his best friend, she often heard Ye Chengshu talk about it, and heard that he was a very knowledgeable, versatile, intelligent and delicate person, such a person, in such a day of family reunion, it is inevitable that he will be particularly sentimental.

Ye Chengshu reluctantly took Mei's hand, hesitated for a long time, lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the cheek, "I'll buy you the latest jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion tomorrow." ”

Ye Chengshu walked out of the courtyard gate, Mei covered her face shyly, in her heart, the most precious jewelry in the world could not compare to his heart.
