In the Wutong courtyard of Ye Mansion, an old lady with a bit of heroism between her eyebrows and eyes sat on the couch, and there were two middle-aged men sitting in front of her, Ye Qiong's grandmother Xie Shi was serving on one side, and Ye Qiong's sister Ye Yao was sitting embroidering her forehead on the other side, and Ye Yao was standing with a handkerchief on her side with an embarrassed expression.

When Ye Qiong came in, her father and eldest uncle got together as if discussing something, and the fourth uncle fidgeted and looked out of the door, and jumped up suddenly when he saw her come in.

"Qiong'er came to say hello to her grandmother, and to her eldest uncle and fourth uncle." Ye Qiong curtsied sweetly, her eyes swept over everyone in the hall one by one, and finally her eyes stopped on the fourth uncle, intentionally or unintentionally.

It stands to reason that Ye Sese is a few months older than Ye Qiong, and Ye Qiong should salute her. But Ye Qiong didn't, and didn't even give Ye Sese a look, which made Ye Sese's face even redder, and the handkerchief was about to break.

The people in the courtyard didn't say anything, and grandmother, Mrs. Shen, smiled and stretched out her hand to Ye Qiong to call her over, affectionately pulled her to sit beside her, and instructed the maids to serve tea and pastries: "Grandmother has had another headache recently, and your mother and father forced your grandmother not to get out of bed, I don't know if we are cured of our illness, and now I can be relieved when I see you." ”

Ye Qiong was affectionately crooked in her grandmother's arms, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.

The grandmother is the grandfather's second wife, the eldest uncle and the second uncle were born to the first, and the first emperor gave his grandmother to his grandfather in order to balance the power of the civil servants and military generals. After marrying her grandfather, her grandmother gave birth to a pair of children, one of whom was her father, who was her biological grandmother and had always doted on her.

My grandmother was born noble, and she was a military general, and she even knew martial arts when she was young, and she was a handkerchief with the queen mother, who was also born in northern Xinjiang.

In the previous life, the grandmother's mother pleaded with the queen mother to save her life since she entered the palace, and she held on until she got married, and watched her die after she got married. If the Ye family had not been ruined in the previous life, her own grandmother must still be such a happy little old lady now, how could she die early?

Ye Qiong was taking a pastry fruit from her grandmother's hand when she heard a kind voice: "I haven't seen Qiong'er for a long time, and it looks like she has grown taller than before." ”

It was the eldest uncle who said this, he stroked his beard with a smile, Ye Qiong was embarrassed to crook in his grandmother's arms again, and saluted again with a smile.

The eldest uncle's name is Ye Zhujin, and now he is an official in the household department, and he is the person with the highest official position and the best future in the Ye family. The eldest uncle is a square and generous person, and he is very strict with the sons and daughters of the Ye family, but he is very kind to the families of Ye Qiong and the girls.

However, after the soul case in the previous life, the eldest uncle was implicated by his family, and the Dafang family was also ruined, and his cousin Ye Lang was beheaded together because he had been crowned, and his cousin Ye Po was under the age of fifteen and died in exile with his brother.

Ye Qiong looked at the eldest uncle who touched the top of his hair kindly, and asked with a sad smile: "I have been sick for a few days, and I can't go to the academy for several days, and I ask the eldest uncle to apologize to Sister Yu for me." ”

Da Liang is now open to the style of writing, and there is no restriction on girls from studying, Ye Qiong is currently studying with Ye Jin in Wenshan Academy, the first academy in Beijing, Ye Yao was originally there, because she decided to marry after the family affair. Ye Yu, the lobby sister, left the cabinet a few years ago and married the eldest son of the head of Wenshan Academy, and now she is helping to manage the affairs of the academy.

The eldest uncle smiled and waved his hand, and took out a booklet from his arms: "This is the homework of the past few days that your lobby sister must entrust me to give you, let me tell you to rest well, don't worry about the academy." ”

Ye Qiong took it in surprise, flipped through it casually, and saw the familiar pavilion body with a soft gaze.

Whether it is in the past life or in this life, the lobby sister Ye Yu is the one who takes the most care of their juniors.

In her previous life, Ye Qiong asked the Queen Mother for grace, and after the soul calling case, she still returned to Wenshan Academy to continue her studies, and was bullied in the academy.

It's a pity that the hall sister who married in her previous life was still affected by her mother's accident, and she tried her best to support the academy and finally became the wife of the mountain chief, but she died early due to exhaustion, and she didn't even see her get married.

Ye Qiong lowered her head to hide the tears in her eyes, raised her head and smiled sincerely, "Thank you Sister Yu and Uncle Yu." ”

The eldest uncle smiled and nodded, and his gaze swept sharply over the more restless fourth uncle Ye Zuhui, and the fourth uncle's buttocks bounced out of the chair as if it had been burned.

"That's, Joan." The fourth uncle rubbed his hands and glared at Ye Qiong viciously, and then Ye Tserse walked slowly to Ye Qiong.

"Qiong'er, the fourth uncle came this time to bring your fourth cousin to apologize to you." The fourth uncle said and pushed Ye Sese so hard that he almost pushed the person to the ground.

Ye Sese finally stood firm, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister Qiong, it's all my sister's fault, I want to see one of your grass hairpins, but I didn't expect to push you into the water without letting up." ”

Ye Sese cried as she spoke, looking pitiful: "I was wrong, my father has already punished me for three months and a one-month grounding, Sister Joan forgive me, okay?" ”

Ye Sese opened her teary eyes, thinking that Ye Qiong was the most soft-hearted and coaxing, but she saw the little girl opposite smiling at her, but she shook her head firmly and said, "It's not good." ”

Ye Sese froze in place, and even forgot to cry and continue to pretend.

Xie Shi and his grandmother exchanged glances and secretly applauded, Ye Qishu's face was worried and happy, and said that her daughter should not offend people too much.

Ye Qiong laughed in her heart, the Ye family has five rooms, and the fourth room is the most unbearable, after all, the fourth uncle's biological mother is the grandfather's first wife, and she specially bought it to disgust her grandmother before she died.

Ordinary kabuki is just that, and she was specially raised as a good concubine, who can raise her children in person, and as a result, Ye Qiong's fourth uncle has developed such a temperament. It's just that he likes to be romantic, and he is not taboo in meat and vegetarian, and the warblers and Yanyan in the backyard are in a mess, but there are no sons and only concubines, and only two of them, Ye Sese and Ye Shanshan, are on the genealogy.

However, these two concubines were also badly taught, and they were as good as they could be in their previous lives, and they were notorious in the circle of noblewomen in the capital. Ye Sese later hooked up with her husband Zhang Xudong in her previous life, and she caught her in bed and laughed at her shamelessly:

"Sister Joan is so boring, what's wrong with me serving my husband for Sister Joan?"

With a person like her, how could Ye Qiong let it go so easily?

The fourth uncle's face trembled, and when he saw the eldest uncle's gaze, he still stubbornly said: "Qiong'er wants to punish him, just tell the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle will call the shots for you!" ”

Ye Qiong snapped her fingers and said with a smile: "For five days, I lay in bed for five whole days, and three of them burned to the point of being unconscious, and A-Niang and my sister also guarded me for three days. Qiong'er felt that since she wanted to apologize, she should at least kneel in the ancestral hall for three days, so that Sister Cersei could feel how hot and cold I felt for three days. ”

But don't be confused when she just woke up, she still has some memories of that day, and she knows that it was clearly the fourth uncle who was knocked over and molested A-Niang's maidservant, and she was embarrassed and angry and knocked herself into the water.

Ye Sese's eyes turned cold, and he was about to say something, but Ye Yao, who was originally embroidering with her head down, raised her head and added: "Qiong'er hasn't said it for five days, Sister Sese, don't you want to be cheap and sell well?" ”

Ye Qiong glanced back at her sister in surprise, Ye Yao winked at her wisely, and then lowered her head and went to choose the fabric with the Xie family.

Ye Qiong laughed in her heart, when her father and aunt were still there, her sister still had such a flamboyant temperament.

The fourth uncle didn't plan to listen anymore, so he hurriedly promised: "Okay, okay, just kneel in the ancestral hall for three days, and don't let her out until it's time." ”

Ye Qiong smiled and clapped her hands, but the topic changed: "Fourth uncle, my niece still wants to ask you for someone, I heard that there is a little maid named Du Juan next to the fourth aunt, can you give her to me, I should add a maid when I am twelve years old!" ”

Xie Shi was a little inexplicable, if the maid asked her, how could she care about the messy four rooms?

The fourth uncle's face was even darker, he glanced at Ye Qiong suspiciously, and then at the Xie family, seeing that they didn't react before he settled down, so he nodded: "Isn't it just a maid, Qiong'er wants the fourth uncle to have no reason not to give it." So he immediately ordered the little servant to go back to his house, called Du Juan, and took the deed and sent it to Ye Qiong's Qionghua Courtyard.

Seeing that the matter was over, Ye Qiong's father and uncle confessed to their grandmother and went to the study to discuss important matters.

Ye Qiong's heart moved, and asked Su Kite, who was following her, to wrap a pastry from her grandmother and retire under the pretext of being unwell, and quietly said to Su Kite halfway through: "Su Kite, you take the pastries to your father's study to eavesdrop on their conversation, you can hear as much as you can, and tell me when you come back." ”

Su Kite was stunned for a moment, but did not question it, nodded and went to the study with the pastry.

Ye Qiong nodded, Su Kite would never question her orders, no matter what kind of order it was.

Back in Qionghuayuan, the warbler was circling around the cuckoo, and seeing that the little girl's clothes were torn, she took out several clothes from her cage and stuffed them into the cuckoo's hands.

"Second girl." The cuckoo was at a loss, seeing Ye Qiong coming over and curtsied, the clothes in her hand were so high that they covered her face.

Ye Qiong smiled and helped her up, but the moment she touched the cuckoo's arm, she heard her hiss.

Ye Qiong was about to ask, but the warbler over there had already noticed her, and she hurriedly came over and saluted and said to Ye Qiong: "Girl, this girl who just came is too cold, I'm picking out clothes for her, is this one good?" ”

This is a primrose-colored dress, which matches the cuckoo's fair complexion, Ye Qiong nodded yes, and the rogue warbler grabbed the cuckoo to go down to change clothes, but heard the cuckoo hissed again and shook off the warbler's hand.

Liuying was a violent temper and was about to have a seizure, Ye Qiong had already realized something, and said with a calm face: "Cuckoo, take off your clothes, let me take a look at the injuries on your body." ”

Du Juan shook his head and was unwilling, Ye Qiong was ruthless, and said threateningly: "If you don't agree, I will send you back to the fourth room immediately." ”

Hearing this, the cuckoo hurriedly wept and kowtowed, her hands and feet quickly took off her clothes one by one, she had just untied half of her shirt to reveal the bruises on her arms, Ye Qiong gently grabbed her arm and shook her head.

Ye Qiong was married in her previous life, so she naturally knew what those traces meant.

She said to the red-eyed Liuying with a wooden face: "You go to A-Niang's room to find Mother Feng beside A-Niang, remember, as long as Mama Feng is alone." ”

As soon as the warbler went out, Su Kite, who had gone to listen to the news, had already entered the door: "Girl, I heard the news!" ”
