Chapter Seventy-One: Marriage
On the third day after Ye Zhujin and Ye Qishu came back, the Du family really invited someone to come to the door to say goodbye, and it was Zou Shanchang who was invited.
Zou Shanchang's eldest daughter-in-law is Ye Yu, the eldest daughter of the Ye family's big house, who is already related to the Ye family, and is Du Siheng's master.
Ye Qiong, a girl who had not yet reached the end of the house, could not participate in the matter of kissing in the front yard, so together with Ye Yu, who came to visit, she shrank in Ye Yao's Qiong Yao Pavilion with a smile, and discussed with Ye Yao what to do with the wedding dress when she left the pavilion.
After Ye Zhujin and Ye Qishu were released from prison, Ye Yu's complexion also improved a lot, and he hugged Ye Yao with a smile and teased her: "Okay, you guys are hiding it so well, you don't even tell me." The rules are good, and they look neat, or because there is a young brother in the family to delay the marriage, this family business, I look very good, but I don't know when the time comes, I should go to the team to welcome the family, or should I go to the team to pick up the family. ”
Regulation is Du Siheng's word, starting from Zou Shanchang's master and apprentice, Ye Yu is Du Siheng's senior sister, so it can be called by words.
Ye Qiong said with a smile: "No matter where Sister Lobby goes to drink today, you have to stay for a meal today." Not to mention anything else, the lobby sister has good taste, this wedding dress should be made of mandarin ducks playing in the water or gourd Baizi patterns, you have to help come up with an idea. ”
Ye Yu responded with a smile, lowered his voice and said to Ye Yao and Ye Qiong: "I should not use raw and cold things and strong tea, wine and the like now, and ask the two sisters to talk to the cook." ”
Ye Qiong was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Is it a small day?" ”
Ye Yao had already reacted in surprise and said, "Is there one?" ”
Ye Qiong reacted at this time, and suddenly her cheeks burned, Ye Yu rarely saw Ye Qiong's scene, and said with a smile: "It's only been two months, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are very nervous, and I said it took a long time to allow me to come out and walk around today." Don't look at our Qiong'er who looks majestic and decisive on the surface, she is still a child in these things. ”
An indescribable bitterness flashed in Ye Qiong's heart.
In her previous life, her husband Zhang Xudong at that time was given a childless medicine by Zhang Jing, and Ye Qiong had not been out for many years, so she was slower to respond to childbirth.
Ye Qiong dislikes Zhang Xudong and is naturally reluctant to have a child with him, but this does not mean that Ye Qiong does not want children.
In this life, what will be the result of my marriage?
However, if you think about it carefully, the lobby sister in her previous life was also diagnosed with pregnancy at this time, but unfortunately at that time, she was always worried about the Ye family's running around and tired, and the child was not saved.
In this life, looking at the ruddy face of the lobby sister now, smiling all the time, perhaps, after October, she can have more nieces or nephews.
Ye Qiong smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations cousin." It seems that later, we will not only draw the pattern of my sister's wedding dress, but also draw a few more children's clothes. ”
Ye Yu smiled, saw that there was no one in the house, and said another piece of news: "By the way, there is another news." My grandfather was seriously ill, and my mother didn't know where to get the news, so she sent a message to my father from the family temple to go back to her mother's house to serve the sick. The father agreed that the family affection could not be severed, and now the mother has gone to the Hu family. ”
Ye Yao and Ye Qiong's expressions sank, after all, when the eldest aunt Hu drugged her cousin Su and wanted to blame the matter on the head of the third room, they were all at the scene.
If Ye Qiong hadn't discovered the drugged pastry in time, which was different from what Xie Shi usually did, this matter would not have been clear.
Ye Yu continued: "She is my mother, I can't say that she is bad. However, now that my father and third uncle have the appearance of recovering and everyone wants to take advantage of this time to join the Laye family, I am really afraid that my mother will not be able to stand the bewitchment of those people. Moreover, my grandfather is seriously ill, and the position of the priest of the country is vacant, and in the whole of the country, the most suitable place to take over is the father of the younger sister who is the secretary of the country, and I am afraid that my mother and younger siblings will have another conflict because of this......"
Ye Qiong saw that Ye Yu was getting more and more anxious, and hurriedly persuaded: "Sister Hall, don't worry, I know about this matter." Now that it's not as good as before, the eldest uncle is back, and the eldest aunt may not listen to others, but the eldest uncle will always listen to it, right? You have to be happy about this matter, take care of the fetus, I will talk to my aunt and cousin Lang in detail, let them talk about this matter with the eldest uncle in detail, and the eldest uncle will count. ”
Although she was so comforting, Ye Qiong knew in her heart that the eldest aunt Hu was already a little paranoid about Su and Sanfang. Now that there is the dispute between the priest and the wine of the prince and the experience of suffering in the family temple, I am afraid that the resentment in my heart is even deeper.
While they were still talking, someone outside the door announced: "Lord Zuo Shaoqing Xie of Honglu Temple has brought his sister here, because there are female guests, the lord and the wife called the second girl to go and see him." ”
Ye Yao had already heard that Xie Maoshi was about to say goodbye to herself, but if she couldn't do it, she hit Ye Qiong and the fifth uncle with her idea, so she was so angry that she lost the embroidery shed and scolded: "Why are you here again?" Come so diligently every day, I don't know that we think that we are very close to the Xie family in the capital, and the Xie family in Jiangnan is a serious relative! ”
Ye Yao's gentle character was angry, which showed the Ye family's anger about this matter.
"Anyway, the visitor is a guest, I'll go and see you." Ye Qiong stood up, lifted the curtain and walked out of Qiong Yao Pavilion.
……………………
In the living room of Xinghuaye's family, Xie Maoshi was sitting in the guest seat drinking tea, while Ye Qishu and Xie Shi were sitting on the side with ugly faces.
Ye Qiong wanted to enter the living room, but just wanted to lift the curtain, but Mother Feng, who had been waiting at the door, rushed forward to stop her, and said in a low voice: "Girl, don't go in, this Lord Xie wants to talk about family affairs again, you hurry back and send a little maid to say that you are sick." Oh, let's just say that the injury I suffered in the suburbs of Beijing last time is not healed, and this reason is that Lord Xie can't find fault with it. ”
Ye Qiong was stunned for a moment, and quietly glanced into the living room, only to see Xie Maoshi put aside the tea bowl in disgust, and said with a sneer: "Your mansion really doesn't have a good eye for selecting tea leaves and tea bowls. This good tea should be matched with a good tea bowl, but also, after all, you are not a profound family, only some of the tea is understandable, and it can only be matched with some tea bowls, how to deserve to use a good tea bowl? ”
Ye Qishu and Xie Shi's faces became even more ugly.
Some of the tea leaves are talking about Ye Yao, and the second tea bowls are talking about Du Siheng, Xie Mao is really using tea to belittle Ye Yao's marriage.
Ye Qiong looked cold, said "rest assured" to Feng's mother, then lifted the curtain and entered the living room, and saluted Xie Mao with a smile: "Qiong'er has seen her cousin." ”
Ye Qishu and Xie Shi were startled, and almost stood up from the main seat, thinking that Ye Qiong probably had his own idea, so they sat back again.
When Xie Maoshi saw Ye Qiong, he finally straightened up and looked Ye Qiong up and down critically, his eyes flashing with amazement.
Although he is slightly younger and not tall, he has good bones, and he can faintly see the posture of the country in the future, and it is even more rare that he has a poetic and scholarly temperament on his body, which is barely qualified to be his daughter-in-law.
Xie Maoshi said with a smile: "Sister Qiong'er is really good, she is worthy of being a closed disciple of Mr. Zou." ”
Saying that, Xie Maoshi asked people to send a small purse as a meeting gift, Ye Qiong pinched it, it should be a small gold vessel or something, and it can be regarded as a book.
A trace of strangeness flashed in Ye Qiong's heart, if you want to talk about family affairs, it should be Xie Maoshi's wife, how could it be Xie Maoshi himself?
Xie Maoshi opened his mouth again, and his tone was seductive: "Sister Qiong, do you know my eldest son Xie Xuanjie, who is also studying in Wenshan Academy." ”
Ye Qiong pretended to be innocent and said, "I know." I remember that his knowledge is good, but compared to me, it is still a lot worse, and I am the first in the monthly and annual exams. ”
The corners of Xie Maoshi's mouth stiffened, and he said angrily: "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, what do you do after reading so many books, it is more important to have a good family." ”
"Uncle Cousin's words are wrong." Ye Qiong said with a smile, "The meaning of a woman's lack of talent is virtue, which means that a woman is very good at reading, if she is not talented if she does not study, at least she must have a good moral character." My cousin doesn't even understand this, so it can be seen that reading is still very important. ”
Xie Mao's face was crooked with anger, Ye Qiong smiled and saluted him, and said to Ye Qishu and Xie: "Father, mother, Mr. Zou also assigned homework to his daughter, and his daughter retired for the time being." ”
Ye Qiong's afterglow glanced at Xie Maoshi, whose face was darker, and walked out of the living room happily.
What the Xie family in the capital wants is an obedient and easy-to-control chess piece, but it is not Ye Qiong who has read books and is knowledgeable, and marrying back may cause trouble in the family. Besides, the Xie family wants to marry themselves, and they may still have the intention of clinging to Mr. Zou. But he didn't want to, would Mr. Zou watch his apprentice jump into the fire pit of the Xie family?
Put these things in front of the Xie family in the capital, they want to control their own family affairs, and they have to weigh it.
However, there is also a simple-minded fifth uncle in the family.
Ye Qiong sighed, turned a corner of Ye Mansion, and suddenly saw his fifth uncle talking to a delicate and timid girl in front of the door of the Moon Cave.
Ye Qiong had an idea, and shrank behind the tree in a flash, paying attention to the words over there.
That girl is probably Xie Maoshi's younger sister, she looks very beautiful, but as soon as she opens her mouth, she is a little windy, she said: "Brother Xizhu, your name is really good." Bamboo is one of the three friends of the cold year, and it can remain green even if it is hard to learn from the wind and snow, what do you say? ”
Ye Qiong patted the goosebumps on her arm, how could this aunt like to pinch her throat when she spoke, and the sentence "Brother Xizhu" was so sweet that it seemed to be able to drip honey.
Ye Qiong flashed a hint of coldness, when she called Lu Shaodan "Brother Shaodan", she wouldn't use this kind of voice, right?
Over there, Ye Cizhu opened his mouth, and he smiled honestly and said, "Miss Xie, I don't have any opinion." The names were all given by my mother, and I was only how old I was at that time, and what ideas could I have. Get out of the way, I'll wait for a drink with my friends." ”
Aunt Xie immediately changed her tone and said coldly, "Okay." I'm the one who gets in the way, so I'm going to get out of the way. ”
Ye Qiong was funny when she heard it, it seemed that Aunt Xie didn't mean anything to the fifth uncle. One is delicate and timid, and the other is simple-minded and likes to be chivalrous, no matter how you think these two people should not be together.
Ye Qiong smiled and was about to leave, so she heard Ye Xizhu say loudly: "Thank you for visiting Lan, thank you very much, next time we meet, I will invite you to eat the best roasted meat in the capital." ”
Ye Qiong was stunned.
Xie Wanlan, isn't it the famous girl who eloped with her own coachman in her previous life?
Ye Cizhu had already run away, and Ye Qiong heard Xie Wanlan muttering to herself: "You and I are unwilling." After saying that, Xie Wanlan turned around and left.
Ye Qiong looked at the direction in which Xie Wanlan disappeared and became curious about this cousin.
