Family Has a Concubine

Qiujing and Qiulang walked into Qiongmingxuan, and saw a spacious and tidy courtyard, with a few plantains planted on the left side of the courtyard, and a set of stone tables and chairs under the trees.

Ye Tangcai and Ye Weicai were sitting there, seeing him coming with wine, Ye Tangcai smiled and said, I guess it's wine.

The two put the wine on the stone table, but they had only two small jars.

These two small jars are also quite strange, they are actually made of jasper with ink bamboo patterns on them, they are very valuable at first glance.

Last time you said you wanted bamboo leaf wine and bamboo shoot wine. Qiu Jing said.

Ye Tangcai looked up and saw his broad and gentle smile, and his heart was slightly warmed, so he curled his lips: I'm just talking casually.

Qiu Jing smiled slightly: I don't know anything, I only know this, and I can only give you this.

As he spoke, the jar had already been lifted, and Ye Tangcai could indeed hear the aroma of wine, with the fragrance of bamboo, and the taste was mellow.

Qiu Jing said: Is there a small stove?

Yes. Huiran agreed, and went back to the house, and soon brought out a small stove and put it on the stone table, which was specially used for cooking wine.

Huiran brought a small iron pot with the mouth of a bowl, and lit it on the stove.

Qiu Jing spooned the wine from the jasper altar into the white jade pot, and waited for the water in the stove to boil.

Third Master. Qiu Ju called out suddenly.

Ye Tangcai was startled, turned around, and saw Chu Yunpan walking over.

The weather in September was already cold, he was dressed in a simple light blue robe, his black hair was like a waterfall, and his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be dyed with the coolness of this season. Under the gorgeousness, he looked especially deserted.

Ye Tangcai smiled and said: The third master came by coincidence, I was thinking of calling you!

Chu Yunpan hummed, and sat down on the stone bench beside Ye Tangcai.

This stone table was small, and there were only four stone benches on the side. Ye Tangcai and Ye Weicai sat on two, and Qiu Lang sat on one. Qiu Lang thought, the seat next to Ye Tangcai was left for Qiu Lang Jing sits.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yunpan came suddenly and sat next to Ye Tangcai just like that.

Qiu Jing felt uncomfortable, so she had to lower her head to cook the wine. Seeing this, Hui Ran hurried to the house and brought a round pier with drum legs to put beside Qiu Lang.

Ye Tangcai looked at the jasper jar and said, A jar like this is actually to keep the wine cold, right? This wine should drink cold.

Yes. Qiu Jing nodded and said with a smile: But it's cold now, don't eat this raw and cold food. Try warm wine now, and drink cold wine next summer.

Hi mother-in-law, I want to drink something cold. It's not winter yet. Ye Tangcai said helplessly.

No. Qiu Jing refused. Girls, drinking cold wine often hurts your health.

My cousin is all for my sister. Ye Weicai said, she suddenly shuddered, and looked up, only to see Chu Yunpan's eyes drooping, and she felt that she was thinking too much.

Chu Yunpan's eyes were cold, and he was silent, but there was a huge wave in his heart.

The wine in the stove had already warmed up, Qiu Jing picked up the jug and poured a glass for each of them.

Ye Tang took a sip and felt warm, mellow and pleasant, with the unique fragrance of bamboo all over her mouth. She murmured with satisfaction on her face: This is delicious. It seems to be better than ordinary bamboo leaf wine and bamboo shoot wine. delicious.

Qiu Lang proudly said: If my second brother's brewed wine is still ordinary bamboo wine, then there is no need to make it myself. This Xinzhu wine also took my second brother's hard work. Now you can drink it warm I can't feel it yet, but when I drink it cold in summer, I can taste its true taste, and then it will become our Qiu family's signature again.

Didn't you say when you came to Zhuangzi last time that you were busy improving pine fog wine and didn't have time to pour bamboo wine? Ye Weicai tilted her head.

It's my cousin who says she likes bamboo! Qiu Lang said. It's thanks to my cousin's greed that our Qiu family can release new signs.

Ye Tangcai and Ye Weicai burst out laughing.

Qiu Lang's gentle eyes fell on Ye Tangcai's smiling face, his eyes became softer, the corners of his lips curled up, and he poured Ye Tangcai another glass.

Ye Tangcai held the cup, but looked at Chu Yunpan: Master, don't you want to drink?

Chu Yunpan said indifferently: I'm not used to drinking warm ones. As he spoke, he pushed the wine glass in front of Ye Tangcai, Drink it!

Ye Tangcai felt that he was in a bad mood, so she drank his wine, then picked up the jasper jar, and poured out cold bamboo wine: Then you drink this.

Chu Yunpan picked up the small white jade cup and drank it all in one gulp. He felt a gust of cold dew sliding down his throat, hot and mellow, refreshing all the way down, and then straight to his forehead, his whole body felt like a burst of cream. Get refreshed.

Chu Yunpan only felt a coldness in his heart, with the unique fragrance and coldness of bamboo.

Ye Tangcai said: How?

Chu Yunpan smiled with red lips: Oh, good!

After speaking, she stood up, and Ye Tangcai was taken aback: Third Master?

You guys drink, I still have homework to do. After finishing speaking, he strode away.

Yu Yang stood by the side all the time, and hurriedly chased after seeing it.

Ye Tangcai looked at him proudly, as cold as a bamboo, and walked away slowly. The cool color of ink and ink is dyed in the ink hair behind him, making it look indescribably bleak.

He may be busy with Chun Wei, let's drink ours. Qiu Lang said, looking at Hui Ran, and said with a smile: There is no appetizer?

It's in the kitchen, I'll get it here. Huiran said and went out.

When passing by Lanzhuju, he saw the gate of the courtyard was closed.

Chu Yunpan walked across the courtyard and walked straight to the study.

Yu Han was watering the flowers there, and when he saw the two of them coming back, Yu Yang closed the door, but he was startled, seeing Chu Yun climbing into the house, and then ran to Yu Yang: What's wrong with the third master?

Yu Yang frowned, with a troubled expression on his face, and a little bit of indignation: The third grandma has already found her next home.

Why find a good next home? Yu Han couldn't react for a while.

It's someone who has found a good remarriage. Yu Yang was depressed and angry.

Yu Han was startled: What nonsense are you talking about?

I'm not talking nonsense. Yu Yang said, Just now we saw the brothers from the Qiu family drinking in the third grandma's yard, so let's go there. I also tried to please the little girl... I can see that Qiu Jing is courting the third grandma on.

Yu Han frowned, and said coldly: Okay, don't say any more.

After speaking, he threw the flower pot and walked into the house.

I saw Chu Yunpan sitting at the desk, looking out the window, wondering if the bamboo wine was so good just now, which made his whole heart feel cold until now.

He could see Qiu Jing's care and tenderness towards Ye Tang.

Why do you still do this knowing that she is a married woman? Is it because you want to hook her up?

If so, Qiu Jing would not be so blatant and relentless in front of her. There is only one reason, this man knows that she wants to reconcile.

Who told him? Is it her?

Thinking of this, Chu Yunpan felt sore and uncomfortable. Is she giving Qiu Jing a chance?

Seeing that he lowered his eyes and said nothing, Yu Han said, Third Mistress may not like that Qiu Jing, even if she tells him about reconciliation... it may be just to divert her mind. Third Master, don't panic.

Chu Yunpan was startled, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and glanced at him coldly: Why am I panicking? It's none of my business.

After speaking, he stood up, took a copy of The Doctrine of the Mean from the bookshelf, and turned it over on the couch.

The corner of Yuhan's mouth twitched, really wanting to remind him that the book was down, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it, turned around and went out the door. Then she sat on the steps with Yuyang in a daze.

For Ye Tangcai, the hostess, Yu Han and Yu Yang are still very satisfied. They are tall, beautiful and rich. The main reason is that they have never disliked their third master since then, and have always been kind to the third master.

But she is so good, you can't hurt her.

After the Spring Festival next year, it may be time to go to the place where the bones are buried in the yellow sand. No one can guarantee that they can come back alive intact.

...

After Chu Yunpan left, Ye Tangcai was a little sluggish, and the bamboo wine became tasteless after a few sips of bamboo wine, so he just smiled and said, It's better to drink pine mist wine.

Of course, it's the treasure of our Qiu family. Qiu Lang said.

Ye Tangcai nodded, at this time Huiran came back with appetizers, a plate of bad duck tongue, two plates of marinated chicken feet, and some fried peanuts from the house, that was enough.

Ye Tang ate two pieces of preserved fruit and stopped.

Seeing her listless expression, Qiu Jing smiled and said, It's getting late, we're going back too.

Then... I'll come back too. Ye Weicai said.

Oh. Ye Tangcai nodded, Qiuju, you and Qing'er send off Miss Wei.

Qiuju promised, she and Ye Weicai cleaned up, and left after a while.

Ye Weicai got into the carriage at the Chuihua Gate, and went out with the brothers from the Qiu family. Along the way, Qiu Jing was full of worries.

He thought of what happened today, and thought of Chu Yunpan's reaction. He felt that Chu Yunpan liked Ye Tangcai. Since he liked it, why didn't he want to be a husband and wife with her?

But no matter what, there must be a reason for them to reconcile. It's not that he covets other people's wives. Since they want to reconcile and divorce, why doesn't he fight for them?

Walking out of a street, they parted ways with Ye Weicai's carriage.

...

After all the guests left, the Chu family was quiet, but there was one place that was not quiet, and that was Uncle Chu's study!

Aunt Fei fell to the ground and cried!

What are you going to do? Uncle Chu frowned, standing in the middle of the room.

Erlang and Ci Yinger's wedding is coming soon. Aunt Fei cried so hard that she couldn't help herself.

Ci Yinger won't come today, because October 20th is her wedding date with Chu Congke, and she doesn't go out until she gets married. But today the Chu family had a happy event, and no one came over from the house, but asked the housekeeper to send a gift, which also saved a little bit of face.

When Aunt Fei saw that the Ci family had sent someone, she naturally thought of this marriage she didn't want.

Now that we're here, get ready. How about you take care of this matter yourself? Uncle Chu sighed.

No! How could Erlang marry her! Aunt Fei screamed: Why, my Erlang has to suffer again and again? The last time I married Ye Tangcai, Erlang was obviously the elder brother. Erlang married! In the end, taking advantage of my Erlang’s absence, Sanlang took advantage of it. Now Sanlang has become a Juren and gained this fame! Why should Erlang suffer again!”

Uncle Chu's eyes were darkened, and he had a feeling that a scholar met a soldier, and he couldn't explain why! After organizing his words, he said, What nonsense are you talking about? Erlang has never suffered a disadvantage! Let's not mention the case of Ye Tang's adoption, and it's useless to talk about it. If Sanlang passed the exam, Erlang could not. The chances are fair, and Erlang himself is incompetent, so who is to blame?

You said that Erlang is incompetent? Aunt Fei screamed, You used to say that Erlang was the most capable in your family, and the masters in the school also said that Erlang is much more capable than Sanlang. Why is it that Erlang is incompetent now? ? Just because of a Juren? Bah! It's obvious that he came back by luck.

You, you, you... Uncle Chu was about to die of anger. It was not easy for one to come out of the family, and she was still working hard to bury it. But what she said seemed to be the truth, Uncle Chu said angrily: Okay, you talk about luck. Luck is also strength. Erlang is not as lucky as Sanlang.

It's not that Erlang is not as lucky as Sanlang. It's that our ancestors can only bless one person at a time. Erlang decided to take part in Qiuwei, but Sanlang only said he would take the exam a month ago. He took up all his luck! So He is the one who stole Erlang's fame. Aunt Fei said.

Then what do you want? If you don't agree, go and sue! Just sue our ancestors for not protecting Erlang Zhongju, and see what the Gong Yuan says. Uncle Chu was so angry that his face turned green.

Aunt Fei choked and cried, I didn't say anything to sue. I'm not such an unreasonable person.

Isn't this unreasonable? Uncle Chu almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

I mean, Erlang has been hurt again and again, and he can't treat him like this again. Aunt Fei said, I can't marry this Ci Yinger. How can a concubine who is a mere servant brother's concubine be worthy of her? Erlang!

No! Uncle Chu didn't have the face and energy to withdraw the marriage and make a fuss, Get out! Get out!

You— Seeing that he didn't listen, Aunt Fei screamed and slapped her paw.

When Uncle Chu thought of her, he hit her, and he pushed her straight away in anger, but he couldn't push her, and the two wrestled like this for a while.

The servant outside heard the sound, so he rushed in and dragged Aunt Fei away.

After pushing Aunt Fei out, she closed the door. Aunt Fei knocked on the door without giving up: Open the door for me! Open the door! If I don't explain myself today, I will die here!

Master, this Aunt Fei is really losing her mind. The servant said with a dark face, Such a shrew should just be kicked out.

Okay, what's the rush, let's do it! Uncle Chu couldn't stand Aunt Fei anymore.

But no matter what, she is also Chu Congke's biological mother, so how can she drive people away. If he really drives people away, he doesn't know what the troubles will be. There will be a lot of troubles, and the family will be troubled again. He hates troubles and troubles the most.

Aunt Fei quarreled outside for a long time before leaving resentfully.

She ran back to her residence, where Chu Congke had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw her come back, she hurriedly asked, What's the matter, did dad agree?

Aunt Fei's face turned livid: How can it be so easy.

Chu Congke's eyes were full of resentment and hatred: Why do you always let me suffer? All good things are taken by this bastard, San Lang. I will never marry this Ci Yinger!

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
