The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait.

This sentence comes from "Confucius's Family Sayings", which is not included in the Four Books and Five Classics, and few people will mention this sentence when discussing Taoism.

The contempt on Zhang Jingzhi's face was put away.

He had an intuition that he was afraid that he would underestimate the enemy today.

Ye Qiong continued to speak this proverb: "This sentence is simple and easy to understand, and there is no need to mention the meaning anymore. People live in the world, but in just a few decades, the days that can accompany their relatives are even shorter, and everyone can say that cherishing the people in front of them can say, but not everyone can do it. ”

Ye Qiong paused, remembering all the things in her previous life, and her tone became more and more resolute: "Leaving aside the real immovable birth, old age, sickness, and death, how should people in the world support their relatives?" As far as I am concerned, if the trees move, I will shelter from the wind and rain; The wind and rain could not escape, so I strengthened the doors and windows. If the wind and rain do not stop, I will become the tree that shelters me from the wind and rain! ”

Ye Jin, who was following behind Ye Qiong, shook in his heart, what Ye Jin said was the current Ye family.

Mr. Zou didn't show it on his face, but he was already appreciative in his heart, and said: "But what if, as Zhang Gongzi just said, the general trend cannot be violated?" ”

Ye Qiong smiled and said, "The general trend is inviolable, then let yourself be the general trend!" ”

"Good!" Mr. Zou stroked his palms and smiled, and pouted at Zhang Jingzhi, "What's the matter, are you convinced?" ”

Zhang Jingyi changed his previous arrogance, hugged his fist at Ye Qiong and said: "Jingzhi worships." ”

Ye Qiong bowed his head, Zhang Jingzhi took the little servant and retired, and before leaving, he didn't forget to be angry with Mr. Zou: "I am convinced to lose today, but I will come back tomorrow." ”

Mr. Zou was dumbfounded, but Ye Jin laughed, and changed his opinion of Zhang Jingzhi slightly, after all, for talented people, pride is not a shortcoming, but not admitting defeat is.

When Mr. Zou saw that Zhang Jingzhi was really gone, he turned around and said with a kind face: "Little girl of the Ye family, come in." ”

Ye Qiong nodded, Ye Jin was about to follow up, but was stopped by Mr. Zou: "You can only enter one, wait outside." As he spoke, he slammed the door, making Ye Jin cry and laugh.

The small courtyard of the Zou family is a small house with two entrances, although the scale is small, it is very neatly cleaned, except for Mr. Zou and his wife, there are only two or three servant women who sweep and cook and a little scholar who occasionally guards the door.

After Mr. Zou led Ye Qiong to meet Mrs. Yu, he took Ye Qiong into the study.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Mr. Zou asked.

Ye Qiong saw that there was no one around, so she lowered her voice and said, "Old man, I don't hide it, I have something to ask for." I have a letter in my hand that I would like you to identify, but this letter is very involved, and I wonder if you can ......."

Mr. Zou snorted: "Take it!" ”

When Ye Qiong heard this, she took out the letter from her arms and the poetry collection for comparison, and before she handed it over, Mr. Zou had already taken out the letter impatiently, and his eyes widened as soon as he glanced at it, and he put down the letter and slowed down before continuing to pick up the letter and read it, and then picked up the comparison of the poetry collection and looked at it.

"That's what you girl was really talking about at the door. Who is so vicious, using such a letter to harm your Ye family, and who wants to disrupt this situation? Mr. Zou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

Ye Qiong's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect the old gentleman to be so accomplished, and the result was determined at a glance, dare to ask Mr. Zou if he is willing to issue a handwriting appraisal?" ”

Mr. Zou looked at Ye Qiong's shining eyes and was silent for a while, he didn't want to interfere in such a thing, what did the court have to do with him? But he really appreciates this girl's courage to protect her family......

"That's it, I'll come back in three days." Mr. Zou flipped through the paper and said, "The little granddaughter of the Ye family, what is your name?" ”

Ye Qiong smiled: "The single word Qiong, the Qiong of Qionghua." ”

"Joan, Miyuya, good name." Mr. Zou said as he sorted out a few pieces of paper and put them away carefully, and then pointed to the moon cake box on the side of the table, "Go ahead, take some moon cakes and go, it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, and have a good holiday with your family." ”

Ye Qiong thanked her, took the food box and walked out of the study.

Mr. Zou pointed his fingers on the handwriting, and a figure flashed in his mind.

The Ye family's Qiong girl has some of the demeanor of the palace one......

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion.

According to the practice set by my grandfather, the Mid-Autumn Festival luncheon was to be eaten together in each room of the Ye family's ancestral house, and the dinner party would be lively in each house.

This year is the same, the eldest aunt Hu sent a carriage to pick up her grandmother very early, and the Ye family's own carriage followed closely behind and came to the ancestral house where the big house was located.

Walking into the ancestral house, the two-bedroom family has arrived.

The matter of the eldest uncle and his father's cooperation in building the bridge in Beijing has come to an end, and the second uncle has just been promoted to the main book of Jingzhao Yin Yamen the day before yesterday, and the three of them are now pulling the hall brother Ye Lang, who has just passed the Qiu Yu exam, and asked him to tell his brother Ye Jin and his cousin Ye Huan in the second room.

Po Ge'er was talking in front of Ye Mei, the second uncle's daughter-in-law, Ye Mei smiled and took a handkerchief to wipe Pu Ge'er's mouth, and Ye Qin, the sister next to her, pressed Ye Mei's hand, took her own handkerchief and handed it to Ye Mei.

Seeing Ye Qiong coming, the two hurriedly walked hand in hand to say hello, and by the way, they sent the Mid-Autumn Festival gift. Ye Mei gave a sapphire ring, the quality is acceptable, and Ye Qin gave her own embroidered purse with dried osmanthus flowers.

"Sister Qiong, I have little money per month, so only these needlework can barely get on the table." Ye Qin said embarrassedly.

Ye Qiong didn't dislike it, but picked up the sachet and sniffed it on the tip of her nose, and said, "This aroma really smells good." With that, he accepted the gift.

The gift that Ye Qiong gave to Ye Mei was a bottle of Western rose dew and a wrong gold rose hairpin, and what Ye Qin gave was a second-class jade-inlaid silver earring.

The Ye Mei sisters were very happy to see the gift, which was much more valuable than the one they gave.

Ye Qiong exchanged a few words with them, and when Yu Guang saw the Su family, he said goodbye to them with a smile.

The smile on Ye Mei's face turned cold, Ye Qin carefully observed Ye Mei's face, and handed the gift she got to Ye Mei flatteringly, Ye Mei took it, and said with a smile: "It's really a good thing." ”

On the other side, Ye Qiong talked to Su Shi, looking at Su Shi's slightly pregnant belly with joy and fear: "Why did my sister-in-law come out, I should rest more!" ”

Su Shi smiled: "You can't rest." Not to mention that today is a family banquet, the doctor also asked me to walk around and exercise more, saying that it is beneficial. ”

As she was talking, the grandmother had been helped out by the eldest aunt Hu and the second aunt Jiang with a smile, and announced to everyone: "Okay, let's take a seat first." ”

Everyone sat down in turn, and after sitting down, Mrs. Shen nodded, and then she was shocked to realize that no one had come to the fourth room, and asked the eldest uncle and the Hu family: "Why hasn't your fourth brother arrived yet?" ”

The eldest uncle also felt strange and said, "In previous years, the fourth brother was the first to arrive, but I don't know what happened this year, so I'll send someone to ask." ”

This question is for most of the hour.

Everyone waited for their mouths to dry and hungry, only to see Feng's mother hurriedly come over and say something in her grandmother's ear, grandmother's face changed greatly, and she scolded "nonsense".

Because everyone was still there, Mrs. Shen stabilized her mood, but she no longer had the joy she should have in the festival, and said with a cold face: "The fourth child is not here, let's sit down first." ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was happening.

Ye Qiong didn't know what was going on until she came back from the luncheon, and the cuckoo reported to her: "It was said that Miss Shanshan suddenly had abdominal pain and bleeding, and she couldn't give birth after a check, and a large number of safflowers were found in the meal...... Miss Shanshan insisted that it was Miss Cersei, but Miss Cersei said that there was no basis for her words, and the two argued and started again, and as a result, they accidentally injured Miss Cersei's biological mother, Aunt Qiu. Who would have thought that Aunt Qiu would be three months pregnant, and the child would not be able to be saved immediately......"

"Yesser is sad, isn't he?" Ye Qiong helped the hosta flower on her sideburns, "If you lose your wife and break the soldiers, she must be very frightened." Sifang has not had any news of an heir for so many years, the fourth uncle must be heartbroken, a man's heartache will not last long, but it is useful. Ye Shanshan has no evidence, Ye Sese can push everything on her nonsense, and then pretend to be weak with her aunt to make the fourth uncle feel distressed, it is enough for Ye Shanshan to eat a pot, remind her. ”

The cuckoo said yes.

Ye Qiong smiled and stopped talking.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in the third room of the Ye family likes to do it yourself.

Xie was born in Jiangnan, and learned a lot of pastry practices when he was still in the boudoir, and every Mid-Autumn Festival, he took the whole family to do it together.

When Ye Qiong arrived, her brother and sister had already arrived, Ye Yao was fine, Ye Jin was the worst, her face had been covered with a layer of powder, like a clown who applied white powder to her face during singing.

Ye Qiong couldn't help but "poof", Ye Jin glared at her, Ye Yao came over and handed her the mold with a smile, and said, "Still laughing, why don't you come and help?" ”

Xie's hands and feet are nimble, and he had already made the pie crust last night, and now he only needs to wrap the seasoned filling.

Ye Qiong is skillful, and in her previous life, in order to please Zhang Xudong, she also specially improved her cooking skills, and the moon cakes she made were uniform in size and golden in color.

Xie Shi was surprised, smiled and nodded her nose: "You little ghost, you added maltose to moon cakes last year, why are you so well-behaved today?" ”

Ye Qiong said coquettishly: "Because I don't want to be tired of my mother." ”

Xie shook his head with a smile, looked at the oven, and said, "Your father loves sweetness, we need to make a few more furnaces." ”

Ye Qiong laughed: "Daddy, who loves sweetness, that is like Auntie's craftsmanship!" ”

The person who was over thirty years old in the Xie family was blushed by Ye Qiong, and said shamefully: "Just your sweet mouth!" ”

Ye Yao, who was helping Ye Jin to remedy herself, saw that the atmosphere was just right, and laughed and coaxed: "Auntie, tell us how to meet your father's eyes again!" ”

Xie Shi laughed when he heard this: "Can't get tired of listening to it?" ”

The three of them shouted at the same time: "Don't get tired!" ”

Xie kneading the dough and talking about the past: "At that time, I went to Beijing from the Xie family in Jiangnan to live in Beijing, and I met your father when I was incense one day......

Xie Shi's face was full of smiles: "On the edge of the release pond that day, your father accidentally knocked me into the pool. The water in the pond is shallow, but my clothes are wet, and I thought he was a disciple and didn't dare to come up......"

Ye Qiong hurriedly said: "I know, Daddy is also afraid of hurting A-Niang's reputation, so he pulled a branch and handed the other end to A-Niang, and then pulled A-Niang up." ”

"yes." Xie Shi said, "She still lowered her head and didn't dare to look at me, and when the maid arrived, she didn't look at me directly, and hurriedly apologized and rushed to buy pastries for your little aunt." I thought at the time, this person is still a gentleman, so I quietly asked people to inquire, and waited for your father to catch a son-in-law after he entered the department. When your father was caught and sent to Xie's house, I also took a sneak look, and he looked stupid......"

"What do you want me to say?" Outside the kitchen, Ye Qishu walked in with a smile, and when he saw a freshly baked mooncake, he picked up a piece and ate it regardless of the heat, "It's delicious!" ”

"Daddy!" The three of them gathered around and saluted one by one.

Ye Qishu smiled and nodded, and put his arm around Xie's waist in front of the three children, and was pushed by Xie's: "The children are still there......"

Ye Qishu laughed, and said in a voice that several children could hear: "Actually, I secretly glanced at you that day, and I thought at that time that this girl was so good-looking, and begged my eldest brother to help me find out that you are the daughter of the Xie family." Originally, I thought I couldn't climb high, but I didn't expect to be caught by the list. Originally, I didn't want to, but I heard that it was the Xie family who left half-pushing, but fortunately, it was really you. ”

Xie blushed.

Ye Yao was in a trance, her family affairs have not been settled so far, and I don't know if she can find Ruyi Langjun like A-Niang in the future.

Ye Qiong shook Ye Yao's hand, and a bit of envy flashed in her heart.
