"Grandma is not willing to eat."

Ye Xiuyan took the empty bowl from her hand, and sighed like a little adult: "All the fish caught will be purchased by the fishmongers, exchanged for silver money, and handed over to the lobby brother for repair." ”

Mrs. Wang glanced at the low courtyard and was puzzled: "You and the next door are two courtyards, and you are not separated?" ”

"Divided."

Ye Xiuyan patted the barrel and motioned for the two ospreys to come over for dinner.

Mrs. Wang was a little dissatisfied: "After the family is separated, you still come to grab fish?" ”

"If you break up, you have to pay alimony to your grandmother."

Ye Xiuyan didn't want her family to be ugly, and explained with a smile: "It's not easy for grandma, she is young and widowed, and she has brought up her uncle and father alone, and she has suffered a lot. ”

"She looks very fierce, her mouth is unforgiving, in fact, she is forced, a widow, with two young sons, not fierce, ruthless, and must not be bullied to death."

"That's right."

Mrs. Wang sighed when she heard it, and no longer asked.

"Xiuyan, my name is Qiaoyan."

Wang Qiaoyan has a child's heart, although she is a little arrogant, she is pure and kind.

She listened to the warm conversation between Mrs. Wang and Ye Xiuyan, took the opportunity to add the conversation, and took Ye Xiuyan's hand with a smile.

"I'm three years older than you, you can call me sister, and during the New Year's holidays in the future, I'll ask my father to send someone over to pick you up in Lingyan County, and let's go to the temple fair together."

"Really?"

Ye Xiuyan's eyes lit up: "Brother Lobby is studying in Lingyan Academy, I have long wanted to go to the county seat to play." ”

Wang Qiaoyan was stunned: "Your cousin is in Lingyan Academy?" ”

"yes."

Ye Xiuyan smiled and nodded.

"What a coincidence."

Wang Qiaoyan's voice instantly rose an octave, with a bit of unexpected surprise: "My family lives in the academy, and my father is the dean of the academy. ”

"Huh?"

Ye Xiuyan glanced at Wang Quan, who was not tall and had a mustache, and her eyes flashed: "Really, such a coincidence." ”

"Let's get it done."

Wang Qiaoyan likes the clever and cute little girl in her heart, and she smiled very happily: "In a few days, it will be the Double Ninth Festival, I will ask my father to send someone to pick you up." ”

"Hey, let's not rush to settle it yet."

Ye Xiuyan hurriedly interrupted her: "I have to ask my mother if I agree first." ”

"Your mother is in charge of you?"

Wang Qiaoyan was surprised: "Don't let you go out?" ”

"Hmm."

Ye Xiuyan's eyes flashed slightly, and she nodded with a smile: "My mother said that the world outside is too chaotic, and she is not at ease when girls go out, she has detained me since I was a child and prevented me from leaving the village. ”

"Your mother is right."

Mrs. Wang felt in her heart: "Our Xiliang Kingdom is not as good as Fengqi Kingdom, men are inferior to women, women have a low status, and it is indeed not safe for girls to go out." ”

Ye Xiuyan's little face sank, and she was indignant: "Xiliang is a small country affiliated to Fengqi, why can't it be the same as Fengqi to improve the status of women, equality between men and women, and allow women to enter school and become female officials?" ”

"Hmph."

Mrs. Wang spewed out a rough breath from her nostrils: "It's not some high-powered man, three wives and four concubines, hugging left and right, indulging in the beauty nest and not thinking about it, used to the status quo and not wanting to change." ”

"Ahem."

Wang Quan's heart trembled when he heard this, and he reminded with a wry smile: "Madam, be cautious, be cautious." ”

"Poof."

Wang Qiaoyan glanced at her father's embarrassed look, couldn't hold back for a while, and burst out laughing.

After drinking the ginger soup, Ye Xiuyan sent the family out, along the bluestone paved path, through the small village, to the east of the village.
