Chapter 30: The Four Rooms
When Ye Qiong received the wedding invitation from the Yang family and the fourth uncle, she was somewhat surprised.
Because of her sister Ye Yao's marriage, the Ye family and the Yang family had a bad quarrel at the beginning, and the fourth room had been separated from the Ye family, so it stands to reason that this invitation should not be sent.
What's more, the fourth room has been very lively recently.
Ye Qiong asked the fifth uncle to put some news in the market, saying that in the soul calling case, it was the fourth uncle who bought off the two monks to frame his eldest brother and third brother.
The rumors were in a uproar, and some good deeds gave the fourth uncle the nickname "Ye Qizu".
Suddenly, the name of "Ye Qizu" spread all over the streets and alleys, and even the Yang family, who was brought by his in-laws, was buried.
Thinking of the Yang family, Ye Qiong felt funny again.
Probably angry by the rumors, Yang Jianen played the impeachment of the Ye family, but was reprimanded by the emperor for ignoring his relatives.
This is good, Yang Jianen may have originally wanted to get rid of the Ye family by playing the music, but instead let the Yang family and the relatives of the fourth room cross the clear road with the emperor, and it is difficult to withdraw from the relatives.
It's no wonder that in order to repair the relationship with the Ye family in the eyes of outsiders, Yang Jianen and "Ye Qizu" will send invitations to Sanfang anyway, and the one given to Ye Qiong alone is probably because Ye Qiong has just worshipped the teacher.
Ye Qiong laughed, this is the power of status, which can make the enemy even if he can't get used to you, he will have to curry favor with his eyes.
Ye Yao was not interested in participating in Yang An and Ye Shanshan's wedding, and felt even more embarrassed, so she only prepared a box gift for Ye Qiong to bring, frowned and asked Ye Qiong: "Is Qiong'er going?" ”
Ye Qiong bowed his head: "In the end, there is a blood relationship, you should always go and see." Moreover, I heard that the fourth uncle just recognized a wandering concubine, so I have to go and see him. ”
Ye Yao knew Ye Qiong's thoughts, and said with a smile: "You're going to see the joke!" ”
Ye Qiong stuck out her tongue at Ye Yao, but she was very curious about how Ye Sese would disturb Huang Ye Shanshan's wedding.
However, compared to what Ye Sese would do, Ye Qiong was more curious about the fourth uncle's concubine Ye Yu, who had not appeared in his previous life.
Ye Qiong intuitively felt that this person was not simple.
……………………
The second and fourth rooms of the Ye family live in the Huaihua Hutong across the street from the ancestral house of the Ye family, and the two families live in opposite doors. Nowadays, the Huaihuaye family only refers to the second room, and the fourth room has an additional name, called "abandoning the ancestral Ye family".
Ye Qiong only came to the wedding today to find out that the people actually called them the Ye family's rooms, and they were even more surprised by the name of the fourth room, "abandoning the ancestor Ye family", and admired the wisdom of the people.
The word abandonment of ancestors is placed on the fourth uncle, which really fits very well.
The fourth room is now brightly lit, but it is full of decay. The maids and ladies came and went, but no matter how you look at it, the smile on her face is a little reluctant, not like she is doing family affairs, but like she is preparing to entertain some reluctant guests.
In order to take care of the cuckoo's mood, Ye Qiong only brought a wandering warbler and an egret this time, but Cousin Bai still invited herself to follow, saying that she was afraid that Ye Qiong would suffer a loss in the fourth room.
Ye Qiong was moved in her heart, but she did not refuse.
Although she was just attending the wedding, Ye Qiong didn't dare to be careless.
When Ye Qiong walked into Ye Shanshan's boudoir, the room was deserted, only a few of Ye Shanshan's maids accompanied her, not a single little sister who was crying and marrying, not even Ye Sese.
Ye Shanshan was like a clay puppet, letting Xi Niang rack her brains to say auspicious words, while holding colorful cotton yarn to open for her, and when she saw Ye Qiong coming in, she rolled her eyes slightly.
Ye Qiong smiled and sent herself and Ye Yao's gift of adding a box, and specially took it out of the brocade box to explain one or two: "This is my sister's gift for adding a box, it is a gourd and multi-treasure hairpin, which means that there are many sons and many blessings." This is my gift to add a box, it is a silk dough fan, I wish Sister Shanshan a speedy dispersion. ”
Several of Ye Shanshan's maids gasped.
Ye Shanshan's face finally had an expression, and she said with a smile: "Thank you so much." The eldest uncle and the third uncle are still in prison, and they can all think of giving me such a good gift. ”
Even the title of sister is exempted, only you and me.
Ye Qiong raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Yes, I saw that the fourth uncle was called 'Ye Qizu', and I heard that Uncle Yang was reprimanded by His Majesty, and I felt that Sister Shanshan was very pitiful, so I specially picked such a valuable gift to add fragrance to you." ”
Ye Qiong specially accentuated the pronunciation of the word "precious", and sure enough, when she saw Ye Shanshan's face turned even redder.
The fourth room is not rich, the fourth aunt is not merciful, and Ye Shanshan does not have at least one aunt like Ye Sese, and there is no decent dowry at all, I heard that the second aunt helped to make up sixty-four integers, so as not to make Ye Shanshan too embarrassed.
It's just that the value of this dowry can be imagined.
When Ye Qiong turned around and walked out of the door, she heard the sound of smashing utensils, and Ye Shanshan's angry voice came out through the wooden door: "I wish me many sons and blessings, are they all sarcastic that I can't give birth!" ”
Then came the maid's advice: "Girl, Miss Joan is still outside, be careful of being heard by her!" ”
Ye Shanshan screamed: "Why doesn't she know, who else in the Ye family doesn't know!" I'm waiting to see my jokes! ”
Eventually, the sound died down.
The smile on Ye Qiong's face also disappeared, and she only felt happy in her heart.
The gift given by my sister was just a coincidence, and the only people in the third room who knew that Ye Shanshan could not give birth were herself and her grandmother.
But the fan that Ye Qiong gave herself was carefully selected.
The fan has the same sound as the scatter, and it is only used in summer, and it is discarded in the autumn at hand, which has the meaning of despair, and is not suitable for the newcomer, except for the group fan.
But even if it's a fan, it's sent to wish people a speedy dispersion.
Ye Shanshan was right, she sent her to sarcastically.
Ye Qiong sneered in her heart, and planned to return to the family banquet with her skirt.
The egret who was following Ye Qiong suddenly shouted: "Who? As he spoke, he protected Ye Qiong behind him.
Ye Qiong was startled, looked in the direction facing the egret, and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy walking out of the corner of the courtyard wall. Although this person is also beautiful in appearance, his characters are obscene, his demeanor is absurd, and he doesn't look like a child of an official family, but a small citizen in the market.
The man stopped in front of the egret and saluted Ye Qiong with a smile: "I'm Ye Play, my cousin should have heard of me." ”
Ye Qiong frowned, then laughed and said, "It turned out to be Cousin Ye Wan." I heard that the fourth uncle recognized a wandering concubine, it turned out to be you. ”
Ye Qiong's words were tempting and alienated, but Ye Play continued to smile as if he hadn't noticed: "Sister Qiong has heard of me before, you came out of Sister Shanshan's room, and this is going back to the banquet?" ”
Ye Qiong was impatient, so she only smiled and said, "I plan to go to my brother first, I won't accompany him first, I'm afraid he will be in a hurry." ”
Ye Qiong turned around and left quickly with the warbler and the egret.
Ye Yu stood in place, with a smile on his face.
The makeup gift sent by the third room of the Ye family is worth a lot of money. I heard that the wife of the third room of the Ye family was also born in the Xie family in Jiangnan, and her net worth is very expensive.
Ye Play's eyes flashed with greed and imperativeness.
Ye Qiong took the warbler and the egret until they retreated to a place where they could see the guests at the second gate, during which the egret kept following Ye Qiong, frowning, and his whole body was tense and looked very nervous.
Ye Qiong also intuitively felt that Ye Play was dangerous, and waited for the Egret to say that it was okay before asking the Egret: "Cousin Bai, what do you think of Ye Play?" ”
Bai Lu said with a solemn face: "This person is a practitioner, and his lower game is extremely stable, although his martial arts are not as good as mine, but he is almost the same as your fifth uncle." In the situation just now, I can deal with him alone, but if I want to protect the girl and the warbler, I will be a little powerless. ”
As he spoke, Bai Lu added another sentence, with a yearning light in his eyes: "Of course, whether it is me or your fifth uncle, compared to the son of the Lu family, it is still far behind, I don't know who the master of the son of the Lu family is, and he has such good martial arts." ”
Ye Qiong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the egret was talking about Lu Shaodan, and his originally gloomy mood suddenly improved, and he was a little vaguely happy when he heard the egret praise him.
Lu Shaodan's martial arts are naturally good.
As he was saying this, the sound of artillery rang out, and Ye Qiong saw Ye Jin coming over, and asked her with a smile: "The groom is here to greet him, it's lively over there, don't you go and take a look?" ”
Ye Qiong nodded, smiled and followed Ye Jin.
No matter what the wedding is, the barricade is always the most lively.
But Ye Shanshan's wedding was so cold that it couldn't even be lively.
Only Ye Se Se and a few of her good fox friends and dog friends blocked the door, Ye Se Se stopped in front of the door, and she was dressed in a light veil to make her particularly pretty and graceful, so that many people who came to greet her eyes straightened.
Yang An is the same, after all, it was Ye Sese who cheated on him at the beginning, not Ye Shanshan, and he was somewhat affectionate.
Ye Sese's cheeks were slightly red, and he was still holding a wine jug in his hand, he glanced at Yang An with resentment, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang An, Cersei is happy today, Sister Shanshan is going to marry Brother Yang An!" ”
As he spoke, he took another sip of wine, and the people present gradually felt that something was wrong.
Yang An also found out, stepped forward and grabbed Ye Sese's wrist and said, "What day is today, you drink less!" ”
Ye Se chuckled and stretched out his hand to ask Yang An for a red envelope, and Yang An directly gave a big red envelope.
Ye Sese gave way, but grabbed Yang An's sleeve when he got out of the way, and said, "Brother Yang An gave me such a big red envelope, then I will definitely repay the favor." ”
As he spoke, Ye Sese's voice was deliberately raised a little: "Brother Yang An, Sister Shanshan can't give birth!" ”
Yang An was stunned in place, and the team that came to pick up the relatives suddenly made a fuss: "This, what's going on?" ”
Ye Jin and Ye Qiong glanced at each other, and they both saw the fire of gossip burning in each other's eyes, and silently stood aside together to watch the show.
Yang An grabbed Ye Sese's wrist with a dark face and asked her to make it clearer, but Ye Sese pretended to be drunk and didn't know.
Yang An simply pulled Ye Sese all the way to the inner courtyard of the fourth room, but saw that Ye Shanshan had already put on a red wedding dress and stood outside the boudoir.
"You ask me if I can give birth?" Ye Shanshan smiled weirdly, and walked towards Yang An and Ye Sese, who was being pulled by him, step by step.
Yang An didn't notice that something was wrong, and nodded yes, but Ye Shanshan suddenly burst out, raised the scissors in his hand and stabbed at Ye Sese, who was still pretending to be drunk.
Ye Sese suddenly sobered up, and with a flick of his head to the side, the scissors stabbed Yang An's arm.
"Ye Shanshan, are you crazy!" Yang An clasped his arms and shouted.
Ye Shanshan ignored Yang An, and stabbed Ye Sese again with scissors, but was stopped by the maid who reacted.
It was only at this time that Ye Zuhui and the fourth aunt Jin were late, and they followed Ye to play.
Ye Zuhui glared at Ye Sese and Ye Shanshan fiercely, apologized to Yang An, and bowed his hand to the guests present: "Let everyone see the joke, everyone will disperse first, let's disperse, I'll talk to my son-in-law." ”
Ye Qiong was a little unsatisfied, and followed Ye Jin back to Ye's mansion.
The next day, the news of the wedding was sent to Ye Qiong by Du Juan.
"Or did you go to church and get married?" Ye Qiong was a little surprised, she thought that if it was like this, even if the marriage was not canceled, it would be more or less postponed.
Du Juan nodded: "The news is still from the fifth master who asked me to tell the girl, it should be right." said that the Yang family did not follow it originally, or that the young master mentioned that Yang Yushi was reprimanded, and the Yang family agreed. ”
Ye Qiong raised her eyebrows.
What Ye Play wants to say is that His Majesty is also staring at this family business, no wonder the Yang family is willing to compromise.
This leaf play is a bit smart.
Now that the reputation of the fourth room has been bad, it should be his turn to attack the fourth uncle, and now that there is a leaf play, it is not easy to do.
Ye Qiong's heart swelled with deep jealousy.
