Family Has a Concubine

Uncle Chu was in high spirits at Chu Yunpan's congratulatory banquet that day. He originally wanted to make a big one, and invite all his relatives and old friends who had been lazy before.

Unexpectedly, Qin said: Nowadays it's just a middle school. Why do you hold it so grandly? Only because it's in our family, uncle thinks it's expensive, but in the eyes of others, it's just a small move. We made it so difficult It's like winning the first prize, which makes people laugh. If you really want to do it, wait until next year when you become a Jinshi, and then you will do it after winning the first prize.

It was full of sarcasm.

Uncle Chu was paralyzed. Zhongjinshi. It's so easy to be the top pick.

Just because he knew it would not be easy, and he might fail the exam for the rest of his life, Uncle Chu took this banquet more seriously than the sky, but Qin's words were reasonable, and he was a coward, so there was nothing wrong with it The laughing stock in Beijing, after thinking about it, he rested his mind and agreed to Qin's family.

The Qin family only sent posts to her natal family in Minzhou, plus the Ye family, Wen family, Qiu family, and Zhang family. It is expected that there are not many people coming from each family, and they can only hold five tables. The Qin family asked Ye Tang to entertain guests at the Bailu Water Pavilion next to the Yixiang courtyard.

Early this morning, the Jing'an Hou Mansion came, only Wen, Ye Weicai, Ye Chengxin and Luo's couple came.

After staying in Bailushuixie for a while, Mrs. Qin complained of dizziness and went back to the house. Uncle Chu held down Chu Yunpan and talked with Ye Chengxin and Ye Chenggang in the pavilion.

Ye Tangcai pulled Ye Weicai on the bridge outside and whispered, Why don't you see my sister, I didn't see her at the Zhang family banquet last time.

Ye Weicai shook her head: I'm not sure about this. Since the Miao family came to make a fuss in early August, my sister-in-law has been listless. She used to come to talk to me, but now she doesn't. I'll go Look for her, she's always gone.

Ye Tangcai was very worried: By the way, has my cousin gone to Saibei?

This... I never paid attention to it, nor asked about it. Ye Weicai thought for a while.

Sister Tang! A laugh sounded.

Ye Tangcai and Ye Weicai turned their heads, only to see Da Wen came over with a few of her sons smiling.

Aunt. Ye Tangcai hurried forward to salute.

Unexpectedly, Da Wen just took a look at her, then walked over quickly, ran to the pavilion and pulled Chu Yunpan, with a look of surprise on his face: Oh, Sanlang is getting more and more promising!

Ye Tangcai's face froze for a moment, this aunt is indeed a kiss!

A group of boys following Da Wen looked at Ye Tangcai with a smile, Qiu Lang even made a face for her, and then walked into the pavilion.

Ye Tangcai's whole body is not well.

After meeting with Chu Yunpan, Qiu Jing walked to Ye Tangcai on the bridge and said, Cousin.

Aren't you going to chat with Master Juren? Ye Tangcai pouted.

Qiu Jing just laughed: There are so many people around him, and there is no shortage of me. By the way, there will be something for you later, it's not easy to bring it in here.

What is it? Ye Tangcai was taken aback.

I'll know in a while. Qiu Jing smiled.

Do I have a share? Ye Weicai boldly asked cautiously.

You ask your sister, if she is willing to share with you, then you have your share.

In the pavilion, Chu Yunpan was being questioned by Qiu's brothers, Qiu Huan said with a smile: Brother-in-law, you are only two or three years older than me, and you won the exam. I have been in the exam for so long but I can't even get a scholar.

Wen said: Brother Huan is going to end too?

That's right! Brother Huan and Brother Jue are both studying. Da Wen nodded and smiled, Aptitude is mediocre.

They are still young, less than sixteen.

Qiu Huan asked him about stereotyped essays again, and while Chu Yunpan was answering, he glanced at the bridge from the corner of his eye. Qiu Jing was talking to Ye Tangcai, and he said something, which made both Ye Tangcai and Ye Weicai laugh.

Chu Yunpan was a little absent-minded.

Qiu Huan said: As for what I said just now, after solving the problem, the problem will never return to one place.

Chu Yunpan looked past him and landed on the bridge, and said lightly: I can't explain it clearly for a while. Let's discuss it after dinner. I have something to go over there.

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Big sister, why is there only one mandarin duck in your family? Ye Weicai pointed to the one in the lake, and saw a gray-brown female mandarin duck swimming alone in the water.

Ye Tangcai usually didn't pay attention to this thing, but when Ye Weicai brought it up, she was taken aback.

Because the most beautiful one was eaten by Sister Tang. Qiu Jing laughed.

Nonsense, how could I eat this stuff. Ye Tang was startled.

No? I remember when you were young, you often clamored to eat. Qiu Jing said, At that time, I had a few couples in my family. You said you wanted the most beautiful and beautiful ones to be baked, but I wouldn't let them, so you just put them on the ground. Rolling around, I finally had to secretly catch one for you. You have to eat it once and eat it again, and then all the male mandarin ducks in the family went into your stomach.

The corner of Ye Tangcai's mouth twitched, and was about to refute, when suddenly it seemed...that I really had this impression. I clamored to eat beautiful duck meat, and then I really got it. As for who got it for her, she forgot. And, roll around? Will she roll on the ground?

Ye Tangcai was startled, her face was burning hot, she couldn't help covering her face, she was so embarrassed, she didn't want to admit this kind of thing: No...

Ye Weicai kept giggling, and complained: Big sister, you are too much! Others have a pair, how can you eat one and keep the other?

Yes, you can't eat one and keep the other, you should eat them all, Qiu Jing said.

At this time Chu Yunpan came over, Ye Tangcai looked up with his face covered, the smile on his face hadn't stopped, and he said: Master, why are you here?

Chu Yunpan felt a little prickly for a moment, and only said: When will the meal be served?

Ye Tangcai looked at the sky: It's not yet noon, it's too early, third master, are you hungry?

Chu Yunpan choked, feeling upset, and said, I'm not hungry, I misread the time.

Ye Tangcai saw that his cold and beautiful facial features seemed to be even colder, knowing that he was unhappy, she frowned, what's wrong with this man?

Qiu Jing's eyes flickered slightly, she just turned her head and took the fish food and sprinkled it into the water.

But the fish in the water did not swim over, nor would they grab food.

The Chu family is dilapidated, so there is no leisure to raise this thing, but today is a very important day for Uncle Chu, so yesterday I bought fish outside and put it in the lake, so arty, making others think that the Chu family is also a scholar Family first.

These fish have just been bought and are not yet cooked, so naturally they will not rush to eat them.

Ahh... Ye Weicai suddenly let out a soft cry, tugging at Ye Tangcai's sleeve.

Ye Tangcai turned her head and saw Zhang Boyuan and Zhang Manman being led by the maid.

Zhang Boyuan's handsome face was dark and gloomy, while Zhang Manman's face was not gloomy, but his eyes were dull, and his whole body was gray. It was obvious that he hadn't come out of the election.

Seeing Ye Tangcai and Chu Yunpan standing on the bridge, the two siblings stopped in front of them.

Zhang Manman saluted Chu Yunpan, Young Master Chu, congratulations. Then she stepped forward and took Ye Tangcai's hand: Sister Tang, I knew you were blessed.

Zhang Boyuan's face turned black, what does it mean that Ye Tangcai is a blessed person? If you don't marry him, will you still be lucky to fall into the body of this shabby bastard?

It's just a juren, he would like to take a look at them, they just had a little hope and wanted to climb up, but they still couldn't climb up.

Brother, what did grandfather ask you to do? Zhang Manman whispered.

Zhang Boyuan looked unnaturally from the young servant behind him, and said coldly: This is a gift from the ancestor... I gave you, hehe, next spring, Mr. Chu, please do your best. Then we will be named on the gold list together.

He was so angry that he said that he had prepared the gift for Chu San, but if he said that it was given to Chu San by his grandfather, wouldn't that be flattering Chu San? It would be better to say that I prepared it myself, and it was in accordance with my grandfather's wishes.

When it came to the final nomination on the gold list, his tone was ridiculed and disdainful.

Chu Yunpan didn't even look at him, and just said two words: Thank you.

Zhang Boyuan didn't want to talk to Chu Yunpan, so he nodded and stopped talking.

By the way, why didn't you see Second Sister? Ye Weicai had a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. In the past, Ye Licai stepped on them vigorously, but yesterday she was ashamed.

This...was supposed to come. How could she have thought that she would not be able to come because she was too full for breakfast and her stomach was uncomfortable. Zhang Manman heheed twice.

Sister Ye Tang and Ye Weicai twitched their mouths, they were so full!

Zhang Boyuan just felt ashamed. He didn't know whether Ye Licai was really full or just pretending. He felt that his low ranking would embarrass her, so he didn't want to come.

Looking up, Ye Tangcai looked at Zhang Manman with a smile, talking to her. The sun lightly fell on her face, and she felt bright and dazzling, and instantly, her heart felt uncomfortable.

This is a bridge, let's not block the way here. Zhang Boyuan faked a smile, then turned and walked towards the pavilion.

Walking along the way, I saw that the Bailu Water Pavilion was beautifully designed, but it was a bit dilapidated. Although the surrounding scenery was beautiful, the interior was withered. No matter how you looked at it, it felt shabby, and it really felt a sense of desolation and corruption!

The sarcasm on Zhang Boyuan's face deepened.

Seeing that the pavilion was full of people, Zhang Boyuan walked through the pavilion and walked to the bridge on the other side.

Brother. Zhang Manman chased after him, and said in a cold voice: How did my grandfather confess to you? Let you and Chu Sanlang settle down and make friends.

Zhang Boyuan felt insulted, and said coldly: You take care of your own affairs!

What's wrong with me? My marriage? It's not your fault! Zhang Manman's voice trembled and her expression was stern.

Zhang Boyuan's face froze, and he was ashamed and guilty, and he said: When I become a Jinshi, my family...will not be laughed at anymore, and we are a noble family, what kind of family do you want to marry?

Now Zhang Manman is not worried about getting married, but it is indeed too difficult to find such a good marriage as the prince and side concubine. And she was dismissed because of that reputation...

Zhang Manman smiled coldly: Let's talk after you win.

What do you mean? Zhang Bo Yuanjun's face darkened, and he said coldly, Manman, why did you become like this? You used to be a soft person, but now you are becoming more and more vicious!

You guys forced me to be vicious! Zhang Manman heheed twice, his voice full of hatred.

Zhang Boyuan was extremely depressed, and said: People are not sages, who can have no faults, why are you so narrow-minded? Forget it, I don't care about you. Last time in Qiu Wei, you cursed me for failing to pass the exam. As a result, I I still hit it. Now Chun Wei, if you still curse, thank you, I will hit it again!

Zhang Manman only sneered, then turned and left.

Near noon, people from the Qin family in Minzhou came, but only the fourth master of the concubine Qin came over, and the Wen family came from the Chen family and his son Wen Lanfeng. Wen Lanya got married in mid-October, and she no longer goes out for walks.

Qin finally came over with Chu Miaoshu and Chu Miaohua.

Chu Miaoshu was still looking dazed because of the affairs of the prince's mansion, she was wearing a white thong woven with plum blossoms, with a bun of ingots on her hair and a lotus Huasheng on her hairpin. Her expression was melancholy, and her already delicate appearance was a little more sad, which made people feel pity.

Qin Shi and Qin Siye were sitting at the stone table talking, while Chu Miaoshu and Chu Miaohua were sitting on the railings of the pavilion. Staring at the water in a daze.

Qiu Huan's eyes lit up when he saw Chu Miaoshu, just in time he came back with a handful of sweet-scented osmanthus, washed it with boiling water, and carried it over: Miss Chu, do you want sweet-scented osmanthus tea?

Chu Miaoshu was startled, looked up and saw a handsome young man, all the people who came here today were acquaintances, the one who had never seen him before must be Aunt Ye Tangcai's cousin, the son of a businessman!

Chu Miaoshu was full of disgust, raised her face, and snorted coldly: Why should I drink it!

Qiu Huan was startled, then left with tea.

Qin Shi had noticed this earlier, and trembled with anger when she saw it. Such a family dared to miss her daughter!

Qin felt that the matter of the Prince's Mansion was hopeless, but even so, her daughter was not worthy of people like them. After all, she had friendship with noble people, and her daughter should also marry someone of that level.

The Chen family from last time was not worthy, and this broken merchant was even more unworthy.

Qin wanted to have a fit, but with so many people present, a fit would damage her daughter's reputation, so she endured it.

After lunch, everyone went home.

The Qin family dragged the Wen family back to Yixiangyuan.

Wen's had learned from Qiuju that Ye Tangcai had offended the princess because of Chu Miaoshu, and would not go again. So he took Qin as his family and regretted rejecting the Chen family's marriage.

No, Qin said after sitting down: Mother-in-law, we are all from our own family, so I will make it clear that we will not speak secretly. We are still thinking about the Chen family last time, let alone the Qiu family. So, Let your eldest sister rest her mind!

This... Wen's choked for a moment, his face turned green and pale, hehehe twice: What did my mother-in-law say, my eldest sister has never considered the Chu family, nor has she thought about it.

I don't know if there is any, anyway, I have already left my words here. Qin Shi held up the tea cup, with a sneering attitude that Wen Shi's denial was nothing but embarrassing.

Wen's hehe, he just smiled and said, It's getting late, I'll go back first.

Then turned around and left the house.

Qin groaned softly and put down the teacup.

After leaving the Chuihua Gate, Wen got into the carriage and asked the groom to take her to Qiu's house on Changming Street.

After she got off the car, she went straight to Da Wen's house.

Da Wen just arrived home, and was talking with Qiu Huan and Qiu Jue in the living room, when he looked up and saw Wen rushing this way, he was stunned: Eh, we just separated, you're here again?

Yes! Wen shi smiled. Your tea is delicious, come here for a while.

Aren't you chatting with your in-laws? Da Wen said.

Could it be that something happened while we were chatting. Wen said, She said, tell Eldest Sister not to miss her daughter, have you mentioned this to her?

Da Wen was startled, and then gave Qiu Huan a glance, she had seen it all at that time!

Qiu Huanjun blushed, and stuck out his tongue: I just see that she's cute, so I'll bring her a cup of tea...

Okay, people let go, you should rest your mind. Da Wen laughed.

Qiu Huan touched her head and smiled: When serving her tea, she stopped when she stared at me, how can I afford it!

Wen's sighed in relief.

Da Wen pulled her and smiled and said, Finally, you are looking forward to it. Even if next year's Chunwei is not selected, he is still young and has a lot of opportunities. It was Chu Yunpan who was talking about.

Oh, I'm just relieved. Wen nodded with a smile.

Birth is almost... so what, a good life is lived by oneself. Da Wen said.

By the way, why don't you see Brother Jing and Brother Lang? Wen said.

Oh, they seem to want to bring something to Sister Tang and say they will come back later. Da Wen said.

What are you taking? Wen said.

Looks like new wine.

Qiu Jing had indeed picked new brewed wine for Ye Tang.

There were two full jars, and because he was afraid of being taken out and being drunk by others, he kept them in the carriage until the crowd dispersed, and then he moved to Qiongmingxuan.

Chu Yunpan was stunned when he watched them pass by carrying the jar from Lanzhuju.

His brows and eyes were stained with cold frost: Why hasn't he left yet?

Yu Yang sat on the steps: I know, it seems to be a gift for the third grandma! It turns out that the gift is two jars of wine! It really is a wine merchant! Let's drink some good wine again, hehe.

He doesn't care about this wine at all! Chu Yunpan felt precarious, put down his book of war, and walked out.
