Family Has a Concubine

When the news about Aunt Fei spread to Yixiangyuan, Mrs. Qin couldn't help but laugh. There are too many troubles recently, and this is the only thing that makes her happy.

Early the next morning, Qin asked Lu Zhi to go to Aunt Fei and tell her that Chu Congke's marriage would be handled by her personally, and if there was anything she needed, just find Lu Zhi.

The weather is getting colder and colder, Huiran and Qiuju moved out the thick winter quilts, these quilts are naturally not made by Chu Yunpan, but silk quilts for her dowry.

The two were making Ye Tangcai's bed, but Ye Tangcai missed Ye Lingjiao, and wrote a post on the desk, Qiuju, come here and send me a post.

Qiuju came over, took a look at the post, then turned and went out.

An hour later, Qiuju came back and said: I met Miss Ling after I went back. She was doing embroidery quietly. I sent her a post, and she said she was fine, so don't worry about it. If there is something wrong Son, she will tell the girl. As she said that, Qiuju sighed slightly: No matter how I look at it, she is not well, should we go back and visit?

Ye Tangcai was also worried, but shook her head: She has ideas, and she doesn't want to suffer. Let's wait for her quietly.

Qiuju could only nod her head.

By the way, you go outside and make three quilts and come back. Ye Tangcai said.

She thought of Chu Yunpan when she was laying out the quilt in the room today, and the big cabinet by the window was indeed moved to his winter quilt, which was almost hardened by use.

Qiuju took the money and went out, and returned the quilt the next day. Ye Tangcai had already prepared the quilt cover for the two of them, and sent it to Lanzhuju.

Chu Yunpan took the quilt, flipped it over, and found a small flower in the quilt cover, he couldn't help lowering his eyes, and gently brushed it with his slender fingers. He also has such little flowers in his sleeves.

As the weather gets colder and colder, time moves forward slowly.

Ye Tangcai was leisurely waiting for Chu Congke to get married, but she didn't expect that there was no movement of preparation that day. It's none of my business, Ye Tangcai didn't bother to take care of it.

At this time, Qiuju rushed in, her face livid: Girl, Ye Chengde has been released.

Ye Tang calculated the time and found that Ye Chengde had indeed served his sentence, so he nodded his head: Sooner or later he will be released.

But... Madam... Qiuju looked worried.

Ye Tang sneered and sneered: He won't stay for long, he will leave soon.

Qiu Ju was startled, puzzled, so she had to let Qing'er run over there to inquire.

Sure enough, Ye Chengde only rested in Jing'an Hou Mansion for one night, and packed his luggage and left in a carriage early the next morning.

Ye Chengde naturally went to find Yin Tingniang.

Yin Tingniang accompanied Xu Rui to study in Changzhou. He couldn't stay in the capital for a moment, so he packed up and left immediately.

Ye Hewen also very much agreed with Ye Chengde's departure, and now go out to avoid the limelight, after all, he has been in prison and has no face. After the new year, his affairs will fade away, and it will be easier to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

Ye Chengde went out of the city in a carriage, passed by Changming Street, and looked back in the direction of Qiu's house. After the Chinese New Year, the three of them came back together and won everything that belonged to Tingniang and Rui'er.

Ye Chengde left full of fighting spirit, he didn't know that Ye Tangcai had already dug a big hole for them.

Ye Tangcai asked Qiuju to send a post to Jing'an Hou Mansion, saying that Chu Congke got married on October 20.

Unexpectedly, on the tenth day of October, ten days before Chu Congke got married, there was a commotion at Aunt Fei's side, saying that Aunt Fei had a high fever, and then Aunt Fei screamed and danced, and invited a big monk to come over to have a look , Said that he was caught by an evil spirit, and the marriage could only be done after the Qingming Festival.

Ye Tangcai didn't know what was going on there, anyway, she discussed with Xue's family, saying that she would get married after the Qingming Festival next year.

The corners of Ye Tangcai's mouth twitched, he put down the half-beaten crabapple stalks in his hand, and hurriedly ordered Qiuju to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, saying that the wedding date had changed, so there was no need to come.

Third Master. Qiu Ju just went out, and called out from outside.

Ye Tangcai was sitting on the Arhat's bed, and when she heard this, she turned her body and looked out, only to see Chu Yunpan walking in, and seeing her in the living room, she stepped up to this side.

Ye Tangcai was a little surprised. Since his congratulatory banquet, he has become more and more indifferent to her. Qiuju said more than once: The third master won't recognize anyone after being elected, and even we will ignore us.

Every time at this time, she would scold. But it is true that he is becoming more and more indifferent to her. Even if he has something to go there to find him, he will push and say that he is not free, and let Yuhan and the two meet.

No, it's a miracle that he actually came over today.

Ye Tangcai took a look at him, only to see that his clothes were like piles of snow, his hair was like thick ink, and he was still cold outside. Ye Tangcai looked at him happily: Third Master, what's the matter?

Nothing. He just said indifferently: I haven't come out for a long time, so I came here for a walk. Have dinner here tonight.

Ye Tangcai was taken aback. It had been a long time since he had eaten at the same table with her, so she nodded, Okay.

After finishing speaking, she thought he would leave, but she didn't want him to sit down on the embroidered pier in front of her, and pointed to the string in her hand: Can you give this to me?

Ye Tangcai was startled again, then nodded: En.

Seeing him sitting there, she speeded up her typing, since the network was almost over. The red silk thread tangles around her slender fingers, which is really beautiful.

After a while it was finished, Ye Tangcai went to the bedroom again, brought a piece of tourmaline out, threaded it with the thin thread on the net, and it was done.

She lifted it up, looked at him and smiled: Isn't this pretty?

Chu Yunpan only saw the emerald green tourmaline, with the tassels in the shape of begonia flowers, elegant and delicious, but not as elegant as when she raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly.

Nice. He nodded.

Ye Tangcai leaned over slightly, took the lanyard, and tied it thinly around his waist.

Chu Yunpan watched her approaching, close at hand, and when he lowered his head, he could see her jet-black head, with a faint fragrance lingering around her, and his mind swayed accordingly.

What does the third master want to eat tonight? Ye Tangcai was very satisfied when she saw the nettle hanging on his waist, adding a touch of color to his body.

You arrange it.

Then eat hot pot! Ye Tangcai said, and hurriedly called Huiran, and asked her to go outside to prepare food.

After entering winter, the nights are long and the days are short, and it gets dark at the second quarter of the unitary hour. Yu Yang prepared a hot pot.

After eating, it began to rain crackling outside. The rain in this season is very cold.

The two sat on the Arhat bed, the windows were propped up, watching the banana trees outside swaying uncontrollably, but the room was warm with a brazier on.

The day passed like this.

When the rain stopped, Chu Yunpan left.

Back at Lanzhuju, Yu Yang suddenly said: This year, His Royal Highness King Liang did not send the banana-tailed qin.

Because I already asked for something else. Yu Han said.

Every year on Chu Yunpan's birthday, Liang Wang would send a banana-tailed qin, but he did not send it this year. After Yu Han mentioned it, Yu Yang remembered that this gift was requested in advance.

A few days later, it was the day when Wen Lanya got married. Chu Yunpan was unable to attend because of something, and Ye Tang went to pick it up. It was just a matter of relatives playing with each other for a while.

Beginning in November, it began to snow, and Ye Tang was too cold to stay at home, unwilling to leave the house.

When it comes to December, it is the end of the year, and every household is busy with the New Year. Ye Tangcai and Qiuju were cutting window grilles in the house.

Third grandma. Luzhi's voice sounded from outside.

Ye Tangcai frowned, pushed open the window and looked out, only to see Lv Zhi standing in the courtyard, did not enter the house, but said in a bad tone: Madam let you go.

Understood. Ye Tangcai lazily agreed.

As soon as you see her, you will know that something is wrong. Qiuju snorted coldly.

Huiran brought a thick gorilla bucket, wrapped it around Ye Tangcai, and stuffed Ye Tangcai with a small hand stove.

Ye Tangcai and Huiran went out together. The Chu family has few hands, especially the Xikua courtyard. Except for the two courtyards where they live, no one cleans the other places, and there is snow everywhere.

Walking all the way to Yixiangyuan, Fang felt that the color was brighter.

The plywood curtain was opened, and Ye Tangcai got inside, feeling warm all over. When he walked to Xici Room, there was burning silver charcoal.

Qin Shi was sitting on the couch, and Chu Miaoshu was sitting next to her on the embroidered pier.

Ye Tangcai walked in, Chu Miaoshu looked eager, but Qin's expression was displeased and indifferent. He just said: It's almost the end of the year, and people who are acquainted with each other should also arrange to send gifts to greet you. Have you sent a gift to the Prince's Mansion? And Princess Xinyang, you should also send a copy.

The Qin family had given up hope for the Prince's Mansion, so she thought of Princess Xinyang again, I heard that last time your father went to jail... It was because of the Qiu family's wine problem, you asked the princess for help.

Speaking of this, Qin's resentment. She only heard about this incident yesterday. There was a relative in the Jiang family who worked as a handyman in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He said that there was an accident with the wine in the Qiu family, and Princess Xinyang helped to solve it.

The corners of Ye Tangcai's mouth twitched: Yeah, I was really desperate at the time, and I begged the princess with the mentality of giving it a try. I didn't expect the princess to help me.

Qin said: He helped you, you have to thank him very much. It's almost the end of the year, and you should also give a gift there. By the way, isn't your relative the side concubine of Liang Wang? Last Liang Wang's birthday banquet, he took care of you like this , you also have to prepare a gift.

Three months later, Chu Miaoshu will be sixteen years old! Can't wait any longer!

So Qin desperately wanted to pull various relationships in order to get her daughter married.

Mother is right. It was really reasonable, and there was nothing wrong with it.

If that's the case, then you should prepare your gifts. Let's go to the Prince's Mansion in the morning, Prince Liang's Mansion in the afternoon, and the Princess' Mansion the day after tomorrow. Qin said.

The corners of Ye Tangcai's mouth twitched, even the time was set. And when it comes to we, the Qin family must go to the rhythm.

Ye Tangcai hehe twice: Since mother is going together, then mother should prepare a gift! After all, in the eyes of mother, there will be no mistakes.

Qin's whole body is not well.

Ye Tangcai hehehe, he wanted to marry his daughter to a wealthy family, but he still wanted to give nothing away, so let her make a gift? There are no doors!

I'll go back now and hand over the post first. After Ye Tangcai finished speaking, she turned and left. It should also be shown to the Prince's Mansion.

After Ye Tangcai returned to the house, she wrote three posts and asked Qiuju to send them out.

Early the next morning, Ye Tangcai washed and dressed, and went to the Chuihua Gate to the east, where she saw Qin's mother and daughter waiting there.

Little sister-in-law, you are so slow. Chu Miaoshu said.

Get in the car. Qin said.

The three of them got into the car, left the alley, and headed towards the city, first to the Prince's Mansion.

Chu Miaoshu sat in the car, raised the curtain all the way, looked out, when he saw this familiar street, he felt nervous and wronged.

The carriage finally stopped at the East Corner Gate of the Prince's Mansion.

A few people got out of the car, Ye Tangcai explained to the guards outside, someone went in to report, and after a while, a maid wearing gold and silver came out, it was Qin Se.

It turned out to be Third Grandma Chu. Qin Se said, then glanced at Chu Miaoshu again, her eyes full of sarcasm.

Chu Miaoshu's face froze.

Grandma Chu San has a heart, but, at the end of the new year, our mother has to be busy in the palace and in the mansion. I really don't have time. Qin Se said.

Ye Tangcai smiled and gave the gift to Qin Se: It's good that your mother knows what I mean.

Then thank the third grandma. Qin Se curtsied.

Seeing that she couldn't even get into the house, Qin's face changed, and her heart was already chilled.

Several people got into the car and left. Qin Se looked at the carriage going away, entered the Chuihua Gate, and went all the way to Zhenghua Garden.

The princess is indeed very busy and is planning the palace banquet affairs. Seeing her come in, he raised his head: How, that Ye Tangcai is here?

Yes. Qin Se nodded.

The Crown Princess snorted softly, She can bear it. I haven't called her for so long, and she's only here now. His Highness also said that Bai Ruyan is so obsessive... Wait until the end of the year! Follow her and let her worry.

Qin Se smiled lightly and remained silent.

...

The three of Ye Tangcai went out of the street in a carriage, Chu Miaoshu tightly pinched the veil all the way, her eyes were red. She was a distinguished guest there before, but now she can't even enter the door.

Since the post to Prince Liang's Mansion was delivered in the afternoon, the few people did not go directly to Prince Liang's Mansion, but found a restaurant, sat down and drank tea for half a day, and had lunch at noon. Wait until the afternoon before going to Prince Liang's Mansion.

Arriving at the east corner gate of King Liang's Mansion, they entered the house, and the three of them were invited into a flower hall.

The servant girl served tea and snacks, and said that she would report to Concubine Lu, but she didn't want to. After waiting for a long time, only a well-dressed nanny came, and sat with the three of them for a while, saying that Concubine Lu was very busy as the new year was approaching. , there is no time to receive them, and their wishes have been received.

Ye Tangcai agreed with a smile.

Qin Shi and Chu Miaoshu saw that they were dismissed again, their faces turned green and pale, embarrassment and resentment at the same time, they only complained about Ye Tangcai's incompetence.

Several people were led out of the flower hall by the servant girl. Far away, I saw a girl in a gorilla cloak holding a hydrangea jumping all the way, and stopped when she saw them.

Ye Tang took a look, it was Zhao Yingqi who was here! It's going to be bad food!

Zhao Yingqi saw Ye Tangcai's surprised face: Tang...

Princess, what are you doing here? Hurry up and go to the hall! The old lady in black appeared on time.

Zhao Yingqi had no choice but to leave listlessly.

Just now, is that Princess Liang? Qin said suddenly, She seems to know you.

This Concubine Liang...Mother, it's better not to get so close. Chu Miaoshu said mockingly, It's a thing that everyone hates.
