Chapter 109: Double Happiness
After seeing Hua Jieyu, Ye Qiong has been sullen.
That night, Ye Qiong was personally sent back by Lu Shaodan. Several maids were worried for most of the night, and when they saw Ye Qiong, who was full of wine and flushed, they were almost frightened to death, and even looked at Lu Shaodan with a bad look.
Lu Shaodan didn't explain, only said: "You girls are in a bad mood, let's take care of them more in the past few days......"
The maids only thought that Ye Qiong was a little embarrassed because of Ye Yao's marriage. This matter quickly reached the ears of Xie and Ye Jin, and even Mrs. Shen came to persuade her: "Your sister is just married, and it is not that she will not see each other in the future." If nothing else, when the three dynasties return to the door, Yao'er will come back. If she wants to see you like this, she's going to have to worry. ”
Ye Qiong's real heart was something that she couldn't share with her family, so she could only barely reluctantly get up and began to discuss the dishes at the homecoming banquet with the Xie family.
On the third day after Ye Yao's marriage, Ye Yao took Du Siheng back to Xinghuaye's house.
Early in the morning, the Ye family's three families arrived at the door of the Ye Mansion early, and seeing the Du family's carriage and horse slowly turning into Xinghua Hutong, Xie couldn't help laughing, grabbed the handkerchief in his hand and stretched his neck and waited.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Ye Mansion.
Today's weather is a little colder, and last night you could hear the north wind blowing all night, and it really snowed again in the morning.
Du Siheng got out of the carriage first, took the umbrella from the maid's hand and opened it, before calling "Yaoyao" and reaching out to take Ye Yao down.
Ye Qiong could see clearly, the road was slippery on a snowy day, and Ye Yao slipped as soon as she landed, but fortunately she quickly stabilized her figure, but Du Siheng's hand stretched out at the right time did not take it back, but naturally held Ye Yao's hand, and only let go consciously when the two of them walked to the Ye family.
The people present were all sharp-eyed, especially Xie Shi, who whispered a few words to Ye Qishu, and the eyes of the two of them looked at the newlyweds with love, staring at Du Siheng and Ye Yao embarrassed.
Everyone led Du Siheng and Ye Yao into the house, and Mrs. Shen was already waiting in the hall, along with Ye Zhujin, Ye Xizhu, Ye Lang, Ye Po, Ye Yu and Ye Xilan, Su's fetus was not sitting very steadily, so she did not come.
The second room moved the family to the northwest a year ago, and the fourth room had no relationship with the Ye family for a long time. As for the eldest aunt who married into the Wen family, the Ye family did not stick to the hot ass with a cold face, nor did they invite each other. Therefore, when returning to the door, there are only these relatives.
The servants put the futon, Du Siheng and Ye Yao kowtowed to several elders respectively, Mrs. Shen had already put her arms around Ye Yao, took her hand and looked left and right, and saw that Ye Yao was indeed ruddy, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of happiness and satisfaction, so she finally let go.
The elders also gave the two of them the gifts they had already prepared, most of which were auspicious jewelry, ornaments and the like. The Ye family has no grandchildren since Ye Zhujin and Ye Qishu, but Du Siheng and Ye Yao still prepared two red envelopes for the juniors and gave them to Ye Lang and Ye Yu.
Seeing that they were about to refuse, Ye Yao hurriedly smiled and said: "This is also my intention with Siheng, just to wish the juniors peace and security, but don't shirk it." ”
Ye Lang and Ye Yu accepted it with a smile. Du Siheng and Ye Yu will prepare gifts for their two unborn children, and this will not be disappointed.
After giving the gift, several female relatives led by the Xie family took Ye Yao to the back room to ask some questions, and the Xie family first asked: "Your mother-in-law is good to you, but let you make rules?" ”
Ye Yao shook her head and said, "My mother-in-law is very good, and she didn't let me make rules. However, although my mother-in-law did not let me make rules, she asked me to practice a set of five poultry operas with her, saying that the bride should exercise stronger, so that she would not suffer too much when she had children in the future. ”
Xie nodded in agreement, Ye Yu touched his stomach, and said with a smile: "This is reasonable, I should also move more." ”
Ye Qiong blushed again and hesitated: "There is one more point...... Siheng said that he was not in a hurry to have a child, and her mother-in-law also told me that she had a big loss when she was born Siheng, and quietly asked the doctor what he said. But they also said that it was up to me to do this, and if I wanted to do it earlier, they would naturally support it; If it is later, the Du family can guarantee that they will not take concubines. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xie's face was both happy and sad, and he said, "Mrs. Du's words are reasonable. It's just that if you don't have children, you can't stand on your feet......"
Ye Qiong was also a little worried. In her previous life, because she had no children, she didn't know how much she was ridiculed by the Korean duchess, she didn't believe in the Du family, but about her sister, she was inevitably biased.
Ye Xilan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said: "I think it's better to have a child later." ”
Ye Qiong was stunned for a moment, and Ye Xilan said slowly: "First, if you have a child later, it will indeed cause less damage to Yao'er's body; Second, this is also a test for the Du family, if the Du family really breaks its promise and dislikes Yao'er, Yao'er has no children around him and has no worries, if you don't want to stay in the Du family, you can leave, and if you want to continue to stay in the Ye family, you can simply carry a few more concubines into the door and raise the concubines under your knees, so that Yao'er will not lose. ”
Ye Xilan said clearly and clearly, Ye Yao nodded, agreeing with her words.
Ye Qiong's heart swelled with strange feelings, and she asked rhetorically: "Little aunt knows these things in the house very well. ”
Ye Xilan's expression was a little embarrassed, and she said: "In the Jiangnan family, there are many such things, I just have seen too much." ”
Ye Qiong stopped talking.
In her previous life, the little aunt didn't say these words to herself, because in her previous life, it was the aunt who taught her about the boudoir by the Queen Mother's side.
The little aunt hurried with a large amount of gold and silver, and did not even catch up with her wedding, but only held her hand and did not speak with red eyes.
At that time, it was in the Korean Mansion, and Mama Jiao Xi was watching from a distance, and the Korean Duchess also placed eyeliner beside her, and the little aunt didn't say anything, but left all the gold and silver she brought, saying that it was a gift for Ye Qiong.
Ye Qiong couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, in her previous life, her little aunt should have wanted to talk to herself about the way of husband and wife and how to be a good housewife like now.
If I had the guidance of my little aunt, would I still be walking on thin ice like this in my previous life?
Ye Qiong's heart was relaxed again, at least, this life is different, everyone is here, and my sister is also there.
When she comes out of the cabinet, I don't know what the situation will be?
The Xie family wanted to talk to Ye Yao about the couple's sexual affairs, but Ye Qiong didn't listen to it much, so she retreated and simply went to the front yard.
Ye Zhujin and Ye Qishu had already pulled Du Siheng to talk.
Du Siheng's talent, Ye Zhujin and Ye Qishu still trust, after all, Du Siheng is also a disciple of Zou Shanchang. Ye Qishu looked at Du Siheng's son-in-law, how satisfied he looked, but talked to Du Siheng about the way to get along with husband and wife: "Siheng, I have respected your mother-in-law and husband for many years, do you know why?" ”
Du Siheng was stunned, his father died early, he was dragged by Mrs. Du to grow up, and he really didn't know, so he humbly asked: "Please also ask your father-in-law for advice." ”
Ye Qishu smiled smugly, did not lower his voice, and said, "That's 'pretending to be stupid'." You've also eaten your mother-in-law's Gangnam-style pastries a few times, so you should know your mother-in-law's craftsmanship well. However, when your mother-in-law first married into the Ye family, this taste was sweeter. At that time, the pastries she made were so sweet that I couldn't even taste the bitterness of Coptis chinensis for several days. ”
Ye Qiong, who was listening, was full of surprise, she had never heard of these things in her previous life and this life, it turned out that when A-Niang first married into the capital, it was like this.
Fortunately, A-Niang went to the back room to talk to Ye Yao, so that she could hear that Daddy must sleep in the study tonight.
Ye Qishu continued: "I can't speak out, so I can only pretend to be stupid and praise her for making it delicious, the more you praise, the more your mother-in-law will make it......"
Mrs. Shen, who was left behind, took over the conversation with a smile and said, "If I hadn't eaten that piece occasionally, it would have been so sweet that I almost lost my teeth, and I don't know how long your father-in-law would have to pretend to be stupid." The third daughter-in-law understood the truth, but she was angry, and after she was angry, she felt distressed again, and the two of them were even sweeter than before. ”
Du Siheng suddenly realized and said embarrassedly: "I know." This morning, Yaoyao tried two colors of lipstick on her hand and asked me which one to choose. Didn't I reply to her about the same, she got angry with me when she boarded, and I didn't coax her back until the carriage came to the door of Ye's house. Now I know, I can't say that next time. ”
Du Siheng's words made the whole courtyard laugh, and Ye Qiong couldn't help but say, "Brother-in-law, I'll teach you a method." When you encounter such a situation in the future, you will say that both of them are good-looking, and if your sister still wants you to choose one, you will say that your sister is the best-looking, and your sister will be happy to hear it! ”
Du Siheng arched his hand to Ye Qiong and thanked him decently.
Ye Zhujin was a little emotional, and said: "I don't have anything to teach you about the way to get along with husband and wife, only a little lesson I have realized." Between husband and wife, don't hide words, communication is the most important. ”
Du Siheng nodded to be taught.
The matter of the Ye family's big house, he listened to Ye Yao, and he also had the idea of warning in his heart.
After the dismissal of the subordinates, Du Siheng whispered: "Wen Ruobin, the eldest son of Lord Lang Wen, I think you should know, I also have a few friends who are good friends with him. Not long ago, Wen Ruobin sent me a message through those friends, saying that he heard that his mother-in-law was from the Xie family in Jiangnan, and the Ye family had the idea of going to the Xie family in Jiangnan to visit a relative? ”
The faces of several people present became nervous, Ye Zhujin pondered for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Are you sure it's the news sent by Wen Ruobin?" ”
"That's exactly what the people said." Du Siheng said.
Everyone's faces instantly relaxed a lot, and Mrs. Shen smiled: "The news sent by Gongzi Wen is probably not wrong. According to this meaning, Zhu Jin and Qi Shu should be released to Jiangnan. ”
Ye Qishu seemed to want to ask why this news was sent by the Wen family, but Ye Zhujin pulled him and signaled that there was also his brother-in-law Xie Shangyu from the Xie family in Jiangnan.
Ye Qiong glanced at the little uncle who was sitting silently on the side, who seemed to be a little restless, and knew in her heart.
The Wen family probably remembered the previous fall out between the Ye family and the Xie family in the capital, and knew that the enemy of the enemy was a friend, so they sent the news. For the Wen family, this is just a gesture, just a good fate.
However, although the Xie family in the capital and the Xie family in Jiangnan are separated, they are still inextricably linked. The little uncle has always been the Xie family in Jiangnan, and the grievances between the Wen family and the Xie family in the capital should not be said in front of him.
Fifth Uncle Ye Cizhu was the most excited, and said with a smile: "If the eldest brother and the third brother are going to Jiangnan, then I must follow." When I was working as a ranger outside, I got to know a lot of Jiangnan brothers, and several of them were still from Caoyun and were very familiar with Jiangnan. Not to mention political affairs, they know best where to find delicious and fun things in Jiangnan, and I introduce them to the eldest brother and third brother! ”
Ye Zhujin pointed at Ye Cizhu and said with a smile: "The fifth brother still loves to play. ”
Ye Qiong stared at Xie Shangyu, pretending to be curious and ignorant, and asked, "Little uncle, you are from the Xie family in Jiangnan, what is Jiangnan like?" ”
Xie Shangyu smiled, changed his previous restless appearance, and said: "Jiangnan, not only the scenery is beautiful, but also the literary style is prosperous, Jiangnan people love pleasure, and there are a lot of interesting things. Have you ever been on a boat? The waterways in the south of the Yangtze River are accessible, and most of the people go out by boat. Further east and south, there are large sea boats that can go to sea, and holes in the deck can be filled with sea water to raise sea fish. The sea fish is delicious, and it has a different taste than the river fish, and it can not be eaten in the capital. ”
Ye Qiong had never been out of the capital, and listening to her uncle's words, she was really curious, and said, "I heard that there are still pearl coral in the South and East Seas. Although it is risky, as long as you can come back safely after going to sea, you will definitely be able to earn a lot of silver, but is there such a thing? ”
Xie Shangyu heard Ye Qiong talk about business, and his interest was even higher: "How can there be such a simple thing. Nowadays, there are rampant pirates in the sea, and it is really risky to go to the sea, and now the people are only staring at the offshore fishing. Moreover, some of the better corals, pearls, etc., are not so good. Let's talk about pearls, the color should be bright and the beads should be round, so the same number of pearls, strung in strings is more expensive than loose ones......"
Ye Qiong's eyes widened, these were all things she didn't know, and she couldn't help but say: "Who said that those pearls that are not round enough are useless, as long as they are well designed, special-shaped pearls can also make good jewelry, but the craftsman doesn't understand." ”
Mrs. Shen nodded Ye Qiong with a smile, and said to Xie Shangzhi: "Let you see the joke, my granddaughter, who runs a ready-to-wear shop, likes to hear these things the most." ”
Xie Shangzhi listened to Ye Qiong's words, his eyes lit up, and he already had a lot of ideas in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Where is it, Sister Qiong'er's words have made me think of some new ideas, and I have to thank her." ”
Ye Zhujin asked about the matter, and said: "My third brother and I were valued by His Majesty because of the construction of the big stone bridge, and most of the things that went south this time were to build water conservancy and the like. Dare to ask what is the situation of the rivers and waterways in the south of the Yangtze River? ”
Xie Shangyu's enthusiasm seemed to be half extinguished, and he said hesitantly: "Jiangnan River ...... I don't know very well, but I've heard that there are a lot of rivers with a lot of silt......"
Ye Zhujin saw that Xie Shangyu seemed unwilling to say more, so he didn't ask more questions and diverted the topic.
A few days later, the official document of the Ministry of Officials finally came down, and the official document said that Ye Qishu's official rank had been upgraded by one level, and he was appointed as the deputy of the Ministry of Industry. Ye Zhujin was appointed as the head of the Zhejiang Qing Officials Department of the Ministry of Households, in charge of affairs in Zhejiang. Because it still belongs to the household department, although it is released, the officials at the same level also have to salute when they see Ye Zhujin.
Ye Qiong's heart fell to the ground, the house was full of joy, and she closed the door and held a family banquet by herself.
The few who have entered the Guozijian must stay, Su is pregnant, Ye Po is still young, and they also want to stay. In the end, the result of the discussion was that Mrs. Shen, Ye Zhujin, Ye Qishu, Xie Shi and Ye Qiong went to Jiangnan together.
Ye Qiong glanced at the official document with her own eyes, and remembered her uncle's previous strangeness, and the confusing Jiangnan Xie family.
In her previous life, my aunt came to the capital several times, as if she was late to get the news. Although the capital and Jiangnan are far apart, they are not like this every time. Jiangnan Xie family, did they do anything in it?
Even if it was for the sake of the career of the eldest uncle and father in this life, Ye Qiong felt that it was time for her to ask her little aunt.
