Chapter 48: The Body of a Daughter
The two doormen had already asked Yu Yueyue's two maids to send a letter, asking them to bring a person named Ye Congwen into the mansion to wait, mainly because they were afraid that Ye Congwen would not know the way.
The two doormen took the medicinal herbs, and they were naturally very enthusiastic about Ye Congwen, walking in front of them to ask for warmth, pulling and talking, always wanting to get some useful information out of their mouths, so as to lay the foundation for differential treatment in the future.
It's a pity that I ran into Ye Congwen's loach, which was extremely slippery, you said east and west, and walked all the way for more than ten minutes, and no valuable information was set.
When they arrived at the inner house, it was not for the two doormen to be satisfied, so the maid named Xiaocao ran out quickly, and asked the two doormen vigorously:
"What about Ye Congwen and others?"
The two doormen looked at each other in surprise, then at Ye Congwen, and both wondered:
"Isn't it called Yu Congwen, did we hear it wrong just now?"
Just as the two doormen were about to ask Ye Congwen, Ye Congwen coughed a few times and reminded:
"Little grass girl, I'm Yu Congwen now, don't call the wrong name."
The maid heard the familiar voice, and looked carefully at the boy who was standing aside, and then suddenly realized:
"It turned out to be you, why are you dressed like this today, I almost didn't recognize it! It's really a Buddha who relies on gold, and people rely on clothes......"
"Is there something wrong with my clothes?"
Ye Congwen asked a little worriedly, that proprietress was praising herself vigorously, her eyes were straight, as a martial artist consummation realm master, it was easy to tell whether a person's emotions fluctuated greatly.
"No problem, absolutely no problem, your outfit looks good, hurry up and follow me, Miss asked me to take you to the living room to wait for her."
The maid admires her own lady very much, she is really discerning, no wonder she is still chasing this guy at night, she knew that she was handsome like this, which woman was willing to let go.
Suddenly thinking that he had been severely reprimanded by the old lady for a day yesterday, he had an idea, and if I took him over to let them take a look, I was afraid that they would no longer blame. After all, this kind of handsome man is too rare, if you don't chase it, won't it be thundering?
Originally, Yu Yueyue asked the maid to take her to her boudoir to wait, but who knew that the maid was smart and led people to the living room.
After about ten minutes, Ye Congwen followed behind Xiaocao, I don't know how many attic corridors he passed, before he came to a wide compound, only to hear the noisy voices in the hall, as if they were arguing about something.
"Old lady, Ye, Yu Congwen is here."
When Yu Yueyue heard this, her brows furrowed, and she muttered in her heart: Didn't you ask to bring it to my room a long time ago?
Turning around, he glanced at the son-in-law with a strong air and a starry eyebrow, and was suddenly so surprised that he had nothing to say.
Ye Congwen saw that there were two old people sitting in the center of the hall, the old lady was kind and kind, and the spring breeze was full of faces. The old man was not angry and arrogant, and his eyes were terrifying.
There is a pampered couple sitting in the lower left, quite similar to Yu Yueyue between their eyebrows and eyes, especially the middle-aged woman, who is plump and tall, but her eyes are sharp and tricky, and she is not as good at talking as her daughter at first glance.
At the bottom right is an old acquaintance, Uncle Yu, and a little boy he doesn't know.
Ye Congwen glanced at everyone and replied:
"Good afternoon, elders, I have seen you from the text."
Without waiting for others to reply, Uncle Yu corrected rather dissatisfiedly:
"Now I'm going to call Yu Congwen, why can't I change it, I went back to the Demon Hunter Guard Apprentice Camp, wouldn't I want to show my stuffing?"
"This, before the elders nodded, I changed my surname to Yu, isn't it a bit out of place?"
Ye Congwen felt that whether it was recognizing relatives or relatives, the procedures that should be taken could not be saved.
"It's all your own people, it doesn't matter what you call it in my Yu Mansion, young man, what are you carrying in your hand?"
Seeing the old man speak, Ye Congwen hurriedly opened the sack, took out a handful of stout gastrodia, and said casually:
"The poor family in the mountains, there is nothing valuable, the first time we met, my grandfather asked me to bring some souvenirs to honor the elders. I heard that the Yu Mansion was a family of traditional Chinese medicine, so I dug up a bag of medicinal herbs in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range. Please also ask the elders to help me identify and see how the condition is? ”
Yu Jianxing, who runs a pharmacy all day long, is naturally a lover here, walked over with great interest, took the medicinal materials and observed them carefully, and took a look, his eyes were full of shock! Jun Xiang had never seen such a strange medicinal herb, so he walked up to the old man and the old lady with a gastrodia the size of a teacup, and asked puzzledly:
"Father and mother, you see, this day is so strange, look at this size, at least a hundred years of growth, but the surface is smooth and unmarked, not even the scars of insects and rats, can it be that it grows up overnight?"
Ye Congwen saw Yu Yueyue's father at a glance and saw the problem, what a veteran!
The woman just glanced at the herbs casually, and then focused on Ye Congwen, contrary to his husband, she was probably more interested in herself.
"What do you call a lad?"
"It's okay to call me Xiao Congwen, everyone in my village calls me that. What do you call your sister? ”
Ye Congwen saw that this woman was well-maintained and radiant, like a woman in her thirties, so he naturally didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only answer cautiously. Some women are more narcissistic, and if she thinks that she will always be eighteen years old, if I open my mouth and call Auntie, I will offend people.
"What did the bastard say, it's not big or small, this is my sister-in-law, it's Yu Yueyue's mother, you have to call it Auntie." Third Uncle Yu secretly shouted on the side.
"Oh, I'll figure it out as soon as I say that, grandparents, uncles and aunts, I'm not wrong about the third uncle, right?"
Ye Congwen had already guessed the relationship between everyone, but he didn't dare to make a mess, saving himself from being ugly and making people laugh.
Yu Yueyue's mother asked with a smile:
"How old are you?"
"Just passed my fifteenth birthday."
Ye Congwen was a little depressed, if he had come a few months earlier, it happened to be today's birthday, if this aunt was happy, it was not impossible to give me a box of gold.
"It's just over fifteen, and it's your birthday?"
"No, oh——— it's okay, I just finished eating longevity noodles with my sister in the morning, and according to the rules of our Tower Village, it's already my birthday."
Ye Congwen deliberately said ambiguously, even if anyone wants to investigate in the future, there are words to confront him.
When Yu Yueyue heard that Ye Congwen began to fool her mother again, she didn't know what she was paying attention to, she secretly observed, frowned and thought, and never had a clue.
"I only eat noodles with your sister, didn't your parents and grandfather celebrate your birthday?"
"They have passed away a long time ago, and I am the only one left in my family now, and that sister is also my distant cousin." Ye Congwen's face was full of sadness, and his tone was sad.
"Didn't you just say your grandfather?"
"That's the village chief's grandfather, and I grew up with him."
"What a poor boy, come and let Grandma see you."
The more Yu Yueyue's grandmother listened, the more sad she became, and she stood up tremblingly, and Ye Congwen hurriedly bypassed the woman and reached out to support the old lady.
"She looks like a pair of golden boys and girls in New Year's paintings!"
The old lady saw that her granddaughter also stepped forward to support her, looked at the two of them, and said to her old man with a smile.
Without waiting for the old man to reply, Ye Congwen hurriedly cleared his suspicion and replied:
"She is a jade girl, how can I be a golden boy, how can there be such a black golden boy as me in this world? Don't make fun of me, old lady, a poor boy in the countryside, make people laugh when you say it. ”
"What's wrong with the country man, as long as his heart is better than anything, I think that Zhen is far less comfortable than you.
What a clever trick, if you kill that rhino horn elephant earlier, you won't get so many lives! It's just a matter of careless human life, and it almost affected my granddaughter, if it weren't for Ye Congwen to come to the rescue, where would you and your wife go to find their daughter at this time? ”
The old man's voice thundered, and the whole hall buzzed.
Ye Congwen glanced at everyone's reactions, and it seemed that there was something in the words, could it be that these people are playing games here and want to use me as a pawn?
hurriedly pretended not to understand, and looked at the nose and nose.
"Old man, you have a quiet voice, and you are not afraid to scare the guests if you have a loud voice."
The old lady complained, then looked at Yu Yueyue's parents and reminded:
"It's time for you to thank this young man, it's been almost thirty years since you got married and you only gave birth to such a girl, and it's not a good idea.
Running around all day long, I don't even know that my daughter is almost gone!
My old woman hasn't said a word about you in all these years, has she?
Lian Rainbow, you have been in my Yu family for 30 years, and you haven't even added one to my grandson, I have never said a heavy word, and I have thrown a face, right? ”
Yu Yueyue's mother lowered her head and snorted, she was about to scold her mother in her heart, you didn't say a word, but the old man had to say ten words a day. The two of them are average, doesn't it mean that they each said five words?
"Since you admit it, then this time I will be the master, no one is allowed to interfere in my granddaughter's marriage, let her be the master herself this time, regardless of whether he is really comfortable or fake.
Even if Zhen Wuhou comes, I have to observe his personality first, you husband and wife don't take Yueyue as a daughter, but we two old guys, we are such a granddaughter in this life, I have to take care of her well. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Ye Congwen and asked with a smile:
"Young man, do you think that my granddaughter who is so good and beautiful can marry an outsider who doesn't know the bottom casually?"
"Definitely not! Your granddaughter is as beautiful as a flower, and she has the title of the first beauty in the county, how can she marry casually?
The daughter of the family should have a shelf of a thousand gold, and he is embarrassed to come to my Yu family to propose marriage without a thousand gold bars as a dowry?
Even if you have a thousand catties of gold bars as a dowry, you have to kowtow to your second elder a thousand times to prove his sincerity!
If you don't set some threshold tests for him, I don't know if he really wants to marry my sister Yueyue, just to let him see what it means to be a daughter. ”
