Chapter 101: Negotiation
The carriage soon stopped in front of an alley lined with rows of small mansions, which were basically inhabited by wealthy outsiders who were not accustomed to living in restaurants and inns.
Shen Ci saw that the master and servant over there got off the carriage and turned into the alley, and hurriedly got off the carriage to follow, and saw Ye Lingwu looking left and right for something, and finally stopped in front of a mansion.
The atmosphere of the mansion was repaired, only to see a courtyard with white walls and tiles, the wall was high and the courtyard was deep, the flying phoenix corrugated carved beast under the eaves, and the two heavy purple gold beast heads on the vermilion gate were also inlaid with four green jade as beast eyes.
With tall buildings and long beams, wide roofs, and those who can rent such a mansion are either rich or expensive.
Rongxiu was knocking on the door, but there was no movement inside.
Ye Lingwu pursed her lips, and her anger, which had been suppressed for a few days, finally gradually revealed.
went to the capital to beg for help, and put up a fight, her father is really the first one in the world.
Ye Lingwu frowned: "Sister Rongxiu, don't knock, since others don't want to open the door, then let's go home, so as not to let other families feel that we are greedy for that bowl of tea." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the door creak open.
It was Mother Qiu next to Liu Yuping who came to open the door, she looked like she was rushed out of it in a hurry, and said happily while opening the door: "The big girl is here!" Ouch, the eldest girl is here, the lord and the eldest lady have been in the capital for two days, and a pot of good tea has been brewed in the house, just waiting for the girl to come! ”
Ye Lingwu had already seen through Qiu's mother's enthusiastic smirk on the surface, and watched her speak quietly with a cold face.
Mother Qiu was not embarrassed, and continued: "I haven't seen the eldest girl for more than half a year, the eldest girl has grown a lot taller, and this face is becoming more and more rounded, I want to live a very comfortable life in the Hou Mansion in Ningbei, right?" The slave maid has long said that the eldest girl is a blessed life! ”
Qiu's mother had a loud voice, and even Shen Ci, who was standing around the corner, heard it really, it was really noisy.
Shen Ci looked at a pair of eyes, thinking that since she was from the family, she should also be happy, why did this girl still have a wooden face.
Just as he felt strange, he heard Ye Lingwu ask in a cold voice, "Where is Aunt Liu?" ”
The corners of Qiu's mother twitched, and she smiled lightly: "The eldest girl is asking the eldest lady, the eldest lady is in the back room, the eldest girl should go in with the slave and maid, the lord is also waiting for you." ”
Ye Lingwu quietly dodged Qiu's mother's hand, and mocked: "I don't know that a concubine's brother makes a mistake, and the lord of the family will come to the capital in trouble, why, wasn't that letter written to me by Aunt Liu, since she wants to see me, why don't you greet me in person?" ”
Qiu's mother was stunned, but she felt that this situation was really familiar.
Yes, she almost forgot that Ye Lingwu used to be pampered and arrogant, but she only lost her temperament after she was thrown away from Qingquan Temple.
But this also means that a wolf is not a wolf if it has no teeth.
Qiu's mother couldn't organize the language for a long time, to be honest, Ye Lingwu had been in the Ningbei Hou Mansion for more than half a year, and her temperament had changed a lot, and she was even more able to control people in momentum than before.
Rong Xiu saw that Qiu's mother was staying, and said, "This mother doesn't understand what our girl said?" Our girl wants Aunt Liu to greet her in person, why don't you go to pass it on soon? ”
As soon as the words fell, an angry roar came from the mansion: "Your female envoy of the Ningbei Hou Mansion is really magnificent!" ”
It was Ye Huaisheng's voice.
Ye Lingwu crossed Qiu's mother and entered the mansion, and saw Ye Huaisheng standing on the porch, with a black face, hands behind his back, still wearing a dark brocade robe, and a conspicuous jade Buddha chain around his neck.
Pretending.
In the face of Ye Huaisheng's anger, Ye Lingwu was very calm: "The Ningbei Hou Mansion is indeed magnificent, otherwise you wouldn't dare to come to the door 100% father, so you can only ask someone to write a letter quietly, saying that you want to meet me." ”
When Ye Huaisheng heard this, he was so angry that he pointed at Ye Lingwu and said, "You dare to speak to your father like this?" It seems that Mrs. Shen really didn't teach you well, making you as disrespectful as before! ”
Ye Lingwu was silent.
At first, she didn't want to conflict with Ye Huaisheng, she had already learned to control her temperament over the years, but in front of Ye Huaisheng, she just couldn't control it.
Especially in the capital, you can fake the tiger, why should she look at their faces, the sarcastic words came to her mouth, but Ye Lingwu still suppressed it.
"Lord Prudently, this is in the capital!" Liu Yuping walked out of the hall.
I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and my aunt, who loves to dress up in my memory, is now wearing plain clothes, her hair bun is a lot simpler, not to mention the makeup on her face, and the whole person looks like a different person.
If it weren't for Ye Lingwu knowing Liu Yuping's virtues, he would have thought that it was a woman from a Qingliu family.
Ye Lingwu's eyes showed disdain.
Liu Yuping turned a blind eye and said with a smile: "The eldest girl must have been thirsty for so long, I just made a good tea, and the eldest girl came into the house to taste it?" ”
Seeing that she could still pretend, Ye Lingwu also pretended and replied: "That's really troublesome aunt." ”
The corners of Liu Yuping's mouth froze, and the smile on her face collapsed uncontrollably with a "aunt", and she nodded the corner of her eyes with a silk silk aggrievedly: "The eldest girl still doesn't recognize me as a mother-in-law, it's just that I don't deserve it, who called the eldest girl is now raised in the Ningbei Hou Mansion." ”
Ye Lingwu glanced at her, and before she could speak, she heard Ye Huaisheng say: "Unfilial daughter, Yuping is your father's wife who personally went to the family tree, and she is your mother-in-law. ”
Ye Lingwu's hand under the sleeve clenched into a fist, and he looked at Ye Huai Shengchao lightly: "I only have one mother-in-law, that is my biological mother, if my father can't listen to it, then I will call her the eldest lady in the future." ”
Liu Yuping stopped her tears, took Ye Huaisheng's arm and said, "Don't be angry with the eldest girl, let's go into the house and talk as a family." ”
In the hall, the small incense burner on the desk spits out circles of white smoke, and the fragrance of tea fills the air.
Liu Yuping's kung fu is good, she knows what to wear, and she also knows how to put on a good posture, she is very smart, so that her fake feelings have become the darkness that Ye Lingwu's heart can't erase.
"Big girl, try this tea, I brought it from Yuzhou, and there are a few fish in the kitchen, which are also fished from the stream in Yuzhou, and when we eat, you can also taste the fresh fish soup, but it is delicious." Liu Yuping smiled with her eyebrows.
Ye Lingwu lowered his eyes and didn't look at the two people above, and said, "It's still not necessary, I still have to go back to serve the old lady and it's inconvenient to stay for a long time, if you have something to say, just say it." ”
Ye Huaisheng was about to have another attack when he heard this, Liu Yuping patted his hand lightly without changing his face, and turned around: "It is right for the girl to go back to serve the old lady, after all, you are still raised in the Hou Mansion of Ningbei." By the way, Ling girl, have you talked to Shen Xiaohou after you entered the mansion? ”
Ye Lingwu twisted his eyebrows and said, "Mrs. Liu asked what is this doing?" ”
Liu Yuping smiled dryly and said, "There is no other meaning, it is just ...... The letter also told you that my unsuccessful brother was in trouble and was detained by Shen Xiaohou and imprisoned in Zhao Prison, I thought that if you can talk to Shen Xiaohou, you can also intercede for my unsuccessful brother and let him go. ”
Saying that, Liu Yuping's worthless tears fell again, she wiped it with a silk handkerchief, and continued: "Pity my Liu family, my brother is a man, if he dies in Zhao Prison, I am afraid that I will have no shame to go back to face my parents at home." ”
Ye Lingwu had a blunt attitude, and replied: "Shameless face is also your Liu family's business, my surname is Ye and not Liu, I can't care about so many bad things." ”
Liu Yuping choked up and said: "Yes, yes, what the eldest girl said is that this matter should not have implicated you, but my unsuccessful younger brother is doing business under the banner of the lord, and the governor of Yuzhou was ordered to temporarily seal up the Ye family's shop, and the girl also said that your surname is Ye, so you shouldn't sit idly by and ignore this matter." ”
"......" Heh, the way of speaking is changing layer by layer.
