Family Has a Concubine

It is the second day of the wedding when Daqi Jingcheng returns home. This time the door banquet is also the first meal that the husband and wife eat at the same table at their natal home. They are not separated, so there is no separate table for men and women at the door banquet.

The women set up two tables in the living room of Anning Hall.

Ye Tangcai and Ye Licai were both guests. They sat at a table with Ye Hewen, Wen and Sun. The Luos took Ye Lingjiao, Ye Weicai, Ye Yun and Ye Rong to the table. a table.

In this way, there will be more people at Ye Tangcai's table, but they can't sit like this. According to the custom, both Wen's couple and Sun's couple had to accompany their son-in-law for dinner, so it didn't make sense to squeeze the two elders, Ye Hewen, out.

The maid brought exquisite food boxes one by one and put the dishes on them one by one.

Get up your chopsticks! Ye Hewen said.

You two sons-in-law are welcome. Mrs. Miao greeted with a smile.

After Ye Hewen picked up the first chopsticks dish, everyone chopsticks together.

Seeing Chu Yunpan pick up the chopsticks gracefully, Mrs. Sun said with a smile: My niece and son-in-law should eat more, after all, we can't usually eat such a rich and delicious dish.

Insinuating that Chu Yunpan's family is poor, and he is the most unfavored concubine, who cannot eat good food.

Wen's face darkened, panting with anger.

Hey, this Qingban Yasi'er and Bicui meatballs are not bad. Miao immediately made the soup. Although she hated the appearance of the Sun family's villain, but she didn't want to offend the Zhang family, so she had to support it.

Chu Yunpan picked up a chopstick of clear shredded duck and put it in Ye Tang's bowl.

Ye Tangcai was startled, looked up at him, and he put another Bicui meatball in front of her: Eat it, grandma said it was delicious.

Wen was very pleased to see Chu Yunpan considerately picking vegetables from Ye Tang.

Zhang Boyuan looked at it and smiled coldly: Brother-in-law is really supporting the elder sister! From our point of view, it is the same, but falling in front of brother-in-law is like falling from the sky.

It's hard to put it this way, he actually ridiculed Chu Yunpan's low background, he didn't want Ye Tangcai, and in front of Chu Yunpan was the pie that fell from the sky, so he held Ye Tangcai in his palm.

Wen's head was dizzy with anger, she used to think that Zhang Boyuan was a good man, and he was polite, but only now did she realize that he has such a heart!

Obviously it was his fault first, he abandoned Sister Tang and let him marry Ye Licai as he wished, but now it's just that Sister Tang's husband is more handsome than him, can't even tolerate this?

Sure enough, the second room and the second room are a family!

His words are so vicious! It ridiculed Chu Yunpan again, and provoked the relationship between Sister Tang and her husband. How will this make the couple get along in the future?

Thinking of this, Wen looked at Chu Yunpan worriedly, but Sun and Ye Chengxin gloated.

Chu Yunpan paused with the hand holding the chopsticks, but picked up another chopstick and put the fish-flavored eggplant into the bowl picked by Ye Tang.

Then he raised his long eyelashes, looked at him coldly with a pair of eyes like a blue ink painting, raised his red lips, and said with a half-smile: Yes! Isn't this obvious? I'm a bastard, but Tang'er doesn't despise commitment As for me, I will treat her as well as I can. I am not like my brother-in-law, the son-in-law of a high-ranking family, a young scholar, who married... Well, and the daughter of a concubine, I can do whatever I like with her.

Ye Licai only felt a bang, and was shot while lying down!

Zhang Boyuan's eyes darkened, his hands shook in anger, and he almost dropped his chopsticks.

It hurts my heart to say this!

Zhang Boyuan ridiculed that he came from a low family background, yet he recognized him without hesitation. This magnanimous posture made him look like a villain who sees others as inferior.

The latter words hit Ye Licai's heart even more, and Ye Licai was about to cry.

His family background is low, and his daughter-in-law is of high birth, so it hurts like pearls and treasures.

No wonder Zhang Boyuan doesn't love his wife anymore, because Ye Licai came from a low background! Not expensive!

Mrs. Sun also recalled it, and burst out angrily: You, you bastard...

Well, what happened to my husband as a concubine? It's just the same background as my second uncle and second aunt. Ye Tangcai said.

Sun and Ye Chengxin's eyes darkened, and they almost fell to the ground.

Ye Tangcai glanced at her sarcastically, calling others a bastard all day long, isn't she a bastard?

Cough, don't talk when you eat or sleep! Ye Hewen coughed dryly.

The Sun couple were so ashamed, they had to grit their teeth, one picked up vegetables, and the other lowered their heads to pick up rice.

Wen's whole body was refreshed, and he even took two extra mouthfuls of rice. And the more you look at this son-in-law, the more pleasing it is.

Chu Yunpan picked up shredded duck with chopsticks for Ye Tangcai again.

Ye Licai glanced at it, took a mouthful of rice and put it in her mouth, only to feel that the rice in her mouth was sour, her heart was extremely wronged, her eyes were filled with tears. I couldn't help but look at Zhang Boyuan with red eyes.

Chu Yunpan ridiculed her for not being expensive, so she hoped that Zhang Boyuan would also serve her food to show that she was also expensive.

But even if Zhang Boyuan likes her, he can't save his face to serve her food. Otherwise, it's like slapping your own mouth.

Everyone finished their meal with their own thoughts, and after a while the leftovers were removed, and the servants served Xiaoshi soup.

Zhang Boyuan only felt that there were two conflicts, because of the dinner just now, he couldn't sit still. But if he proposed to go out first, it seemed that he was short of breath, as if he was afraid of them.

Now in April, it's not far from Qiu Wei, so Bo Yuan will end this time too? Ye Chengde said suddenly.

As soon as he mentioned reading, Zhang Boyuan's eyes lit up, and he instantly felt that he had great face, and his back straightened. After all, he was a well-known young scholar and was known as one of the five great talents in the capital.

Yeah! I will definitely end this year. Zhang Boyuan said, In the past, my grandfather stopped me from going out, saying that I...was too young, and that if I really won, I would be proud of my talents, which would not be good for my future career. , Let me calm down and walk slowly following the footsteps of other students.

Hmph... that old... Ye Hewen wanted to scold Zhang Zan for the old man, but Zhang Boyuan was present, so he stopped and changed it to: The old man is right this time.

Ye Hewen likes scholars the most. Although he is noble, he is also a Jinshi. He thinks he is more capable than Zhang Zan, but he is not as thick-skinned as Zhang Zan, who can flatter horses, so he has been managing literature and history books.

I hate the three sons he gave birth to, all of them are not material for studying! Two grandchildren, one is a dude, and the other is drooling all day long. What a shame! Why doesn't he have a son or grandson who can study like Zhang Boyuan?

Ye Chengde looked at Ye Hewen's hateful look, his eyes flickered slightly. He looked at Chu Yunpan again: I heard that the Chu family is also studying now, I wonder if the son-in-law will end this year?

Ye Tangcai's face darkened, he is really a good father! Knowing that Zhang Boyuan is a young scholar, he just brought up reading, so as to relieve Zhang Boyuan's embarrassment, and to praise Zhang Boyuan again. It's gone, and he even stepped on Chu Yunpan.

Chu Yunpan said: I want to recognize a few more words and learn some principles.

It means that if you don't study well, you can't pass the scientific examination.

Ye Chengde said with a smile: My son-in-law is too modest. Now that I have studied, the scientific examination is the right way. This year, I should give it a try.

Chu Yunpan glanced at him coldly, this is Ye Tangcai's father, are you sure he is his own? Then he nodded: Yeah.

Ye Tangcai was startled, why did he respond? He had clearly said before that he was only studying to deal with Uncle Chu, and he also said that studying in a family of military generals was ridiculous.

Wen Shi was so angry that his liver hurt, and he felt like his heart was being dug out piece by piece. She doesn't know how her son-in-law is studying, but who doesn't know that Zhang Boyuan is a young scholar?

He mentioned this just to praise Zhang Boyuan! This is an enemy! I remembered the last time Ye Chengde asked her to ask Ye Tangcai to borrow a dowry, and he was full of words for Sister Tang's good!

Thinking about it now, it's really hypocritical! Wen's heart felt cold.

After everyone drank the Xiaoshi soup, Ye Hewen asked everyone to leave.

Mrs. Sun took Ye Licai back to say something sweet, and Mrs. Wen also took Ye Tangcai back to say something warm.

Chu Yunpan and Zhang Boyuan stayed in Anning Hall to drink tea with Ye Hewen.

Courtyard of Honor——

As soon as Wen and Ye Tangcai sat down on the imperial concubine's couch, a panting voice sounded outside: Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!

Sister Ling is here to listen to gossip! Wen said with a smile.

Ye Lingjiao had already walked in, sat down on the embroidered pier in front, and said angrily: Okay, Sister Tang, you hide your beautiful husband so closely, are you afraid that we can't snatch it away?

Ye Tang made a puff, and almost spit out a sip of tea, as beautiful as a flower? Look at the use of the word...

That's not it! Wen Shi also gave Ye Tangcai a strange look: You are unwilling to bring it back several times, making me think that you are married to a crooked melon and a date! It scares me to have nightmares every night. .”

Ye Tangcai was embarrassed, is it so serious?

Wen said: Since he is so good-looking, why didn't he bring it back earlier so that I can rest assured.

Ye Tangcai murmured in her heart, isn't it because this guy's personality is too twisted? He is busy with his great cause of treason every day, if he misses his work, even his life will be lost! How dare you bother him!

Moreover, she is going to reconcile in the future. Mother has identified this son-in-law, and she doesn't know what will happen in the future.

Sister Tang, what are you talking about? What are you muttering to yourself? The lotus fan in Ye Lingjiao's hand tapped lightly on top of her head.

Ye Tangcai let out an ouch and rubbed his head: It hurts so much!

Hmph, you only know the pain! Ye Lingjiao pursed her lips, I don't know how much people worry about you.

Ye Tangcai was also very helpless, and took her hand: Then... how about I give you another set of hair as compensation?

Are you showing off that you have a lot of dowry? Ye Lingjiao said, Don't change the subject, you haven't answered our question yet, why didn't you bring it back?

Ye Tangcai was tangled up, wrapping the veil with her slender fingers, looked up to see Wen's face of questioning, thought for a while before whispering: Last time... I didn't mean that he was shy ...

This is shy? Wen's and Ye Lingjiao gasped, and then were speechless, Ye Lingjiao said: As far as today is concerned, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a shy person! You can choke people to death!

Ye Tangcai lowered her voice as she spoke, He...is not like this usually, I don't know what kind of stimulation he received today.

Ye Lingjiao was about to say something, but Wen's pulled her, and Ye Lingjiao closed her mouth.

Wen's face looked at Ye Tangcai seriously: Sister Tang, tell your mother the truth, the day you returned home, after we interrogated Zhang Boyuan, you didn't want to remarry back to Zhang's family, but I didn't let you Go back to Chu's house and say you found a side branch girl to go in for you, but you disagree with life and death...Actually, do you insist on going back and marrying your son-in-law because of his face?

Ye Tangcai was speechless, this misunderstanding is too deep, does she seem like this kind of person who only looks at faces?

Seeing her silence, Wen thought she had acquiesced. But it's useless to say this now, after all, if you don't marry, you will marry, but, as someone who has experienced it, she always feels that their husband and wife are a bit incompatible.

Mother, I'm going to find Sister Wei. Ye Tangcai couldn't stand being flanked and questioned by them, Last time I agreed to give her a new pattern on the handkerchief.

Seeing that she couldn't stand it anymore, Wen nodded, Okay, let's go!

Ye Tangcai smiled and nodded, Ye Lingjiao said, I'll go too.

The two stood up holding hands and went around.

The bead curtain shook, and it wasn't until the outer curtains were closed that Wen called Nianqiao: Sister Tang said today that the carriage broke down on the way, and I rented a carriage outside. Look, the horse driver is a horse dealer. Or from the Chu family? If it’s the groom of the Chu family, please help me to ask sister Tang how the husband and wife are doing in the Chu family.

Nianqiao said: Even if the driver is the groom of the Chu family, you can't find out about the matters between husband and wife if you ask a coachman.

Wen said: I don't know yet...but I'm really worried. You should go and ask. If you can find out, that's fine. If you can't, I'll find a way later and get half a penny.

Ma'am, you think too much. I don't think my uncle treats the girl well! Nianqiao smiled, then went to the bedroom, took half a dime, and went out.

Wen Shi was thinking deeply, and after a quarter of an hour, Nianqiao came running to Yin, panting, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

Seeing her expression, Wen's froze: What's wrong with you?

Well, I really asked! Nian Qiao said with a livid face, The driver of the carriage is the groom of Chu's family. I asked how my uncle and the girl are getting along, and the groom smiled and said that the girl is arrogant. The third master was driven away so that he couldn't even enter the house.

You, what did you say? Wen Shi was startled, and had already vaguely guessed, and asked, What's going on?

The groom said that this is something that everyone in the Chu family knows. Nianqiao frowned: It is said that the uncle originally lived in Qiongmingxuan, but after the girl married in, he drove the uncle to the courtyard next to him. They eat together, but he is not allowed to go back to sleep at night. It is said that the girl had to commit herself to the Chu family because she suffered a loss on the wedding night, and she pretended to be good on the surface, but she hated and disliked the uncle in her heart.

No! Wen Shi immediately denied, If she really suffered that night, when I told her not to go back, she would not have said nothing. Go and call Sister Tang over.

Nianqiao turned around and went out.

After a while, Ye Tangcai came back: Mom, did you call me? It's getting late, and I just wanted to say goodbye to you!

I heard something. Wen frowned: I heard that you and my uncle slept separately, and you said you didn't allow him to go back to the room. What's going on?

Ye Tangcai had expected that this matter would reach Wen's ears one day, so she had already thought up her words: He is a weird person, he can't sleep in bed with others.

Wen was taken aback, but she had heard of such a person, Then... have you consummated the house?

Ye Tangcai's ears were slightly red, and she only nodded, afraid that she would be worried, and said in a low voice: We sometimes sleep together... What are we doing in the house, what are those outsiders doing?

Wen's eyes couldn't help falling on Ye Tangcai's stomach, Ye Tangcai's body froze, what was her mother thinking? There will be no children!

Wen said: I used to think that you were wronged by marrying into the Chu family...Although I feel wronged now. But it's better than Zhang Boyuan! Fortunately, I didn't marry him back then! Zhang Boyuan has a problem!

Ye Tang nodded humbly.

Wen said again: The more you look at Sanlang, the better, at least he has a long face!

In the future, if other people's sister Xiaotang married a poor son-in-law, she could at least say that her son-in-law is good-looking!

You live a good life with him, give birth to a boy and a half girl, and then separate out in the future. With your dowry, life will be much more nourishing.

Ye Tangcai felt a little guilty after listening to Wen's advice, she still had to reconcile in the future, and she didn't know how angry her mother would be.

Ma'am, girl, the old man is calling you. Nianqiao's voice came from outside.

The old lady called us? Ye Tangcai was startled.

yes.

Go! Wen's questioned. The old man rarely asked them to talk like this, and now the old man valued Ye Licai, what else could he say to their mother and daughter?

Ye Tangcai and Wen's went out of the house, and said nimbly: The old man is in the study outside.

Ye Tang groaned, it must be the Miao family who entertained Zhang Boyuan and Chu Yunpan in the Anning Hall.

The mother and daughter went to the outer study room, only to see Ye Hewen sitting behind the big desk.

Sit down! Ye Hewen said.

The mother and daughter sat down. Seeing that they were silent, Ye Hewen was a little embarrassed. He couldn't start for a while, and thought for a while before saying: Yun Pan is really a good boy, and he looks good, isn't he?

The corner of Ye Tangcai's mouth twitched, so what did he want to say? Wen only nodded: Yes.

Ye Hewen expressed emotion: When I saw him at the time, I thought he was suitable for the eldest girl, but unfortunately he was booked for the second girl. Later when you got married, Bo Yuan made such a fuss, I thought it was God's will, That's why I decided to carry you to Chu's house.

Ye Tangcai's whole body is not well, this is outdated, why are you still talking about this? So what he meant was that he didn't push his granddaughter into the kang, all because of Chu Yunpan and Ye Tangcai's perfect match?

How shameless is this old man? No, it's because it's too embarrassing, so I'm still explaining it now! In fact, at the beginning Chu Sanlang didn't know whether he was tall or short, fat or thin, but now that he sees that he has a good parent, he just said this, as if he seemed so wise!

Regarding this, Ye Tangcai could only chuckle twice, no wonder he was born as a Jinshi, and his rank was higher than Zhang Zan, but he was mixed up as a bookkeeper, no matter how well he read, his IQ is flawed!

Wen's family was very angry, but it would be good to think that Ye Hewen pulled this fig leaf, so that Ye Hewen would not feel ashamed in front of Ye Tangcai, so that in the future, he would always come forward when Sister Tang suffered any grievances in the Chu family. !

Wen's laughed and said, So that's how it is. It's good for me to look at Young Master now.

Ye Hewen nodded in satisfaction.

After the explanation, he also felt that he was a good grandfather, and it was not a loss for him to wear the tall hat that the people gave him yesterday!
