Family Has a Concubine

Qing'er is reporting Yin Tingniang's affairs in Qiongmingxuan.

At this time, a young man in gray clothes with a flat face and a thin figure walked in: Third Grandma, your mother's family has come to bring you something.

This young man's name is Xiao Zong, he is the porter of Xijiao Gate, he used to be the only one guarding the gate, since Qing'er came, Qing'er has been guarding the gate with him, they still live in the same room.

Usually Ye Tangcai's posts were sent in by Qing'er, but now that Qing'er was here, Xiao Zong came over.

My natal family? Ye Tangcai looked up.

At this time, a young girl with tender yellow and twigs walked in behind Xiao Zong. The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old and had a beautiful appearance. There is a double-ringed bun on her head, a red gold plum blossom tassel hairpin on one side, and a jadeite jade bracelet on her hand. Although the servant girls are dressed in gold and silver, they are full of style.

Ye Tangcai frowned when she saw this maid, she remembered that her natal family didn't have such a maid! And she can be sure that this is really not someone from Jing'an Houfu.

Xiao Zong, thank you. Ye Tangcai glanced at Qiuju.

Qiuju was clever, and hurried into the bedroom, grabbed a handful of copper coins from the money box, ran out, and stuffed them into Xiaozong's hands.

Thank you, third grandma! Xiao Zong was overjoyed, thanked him with a bow, and turned to leave.

I've met the third grandma. The tender yellow Bijia maid saluted.

This sister is...

The servant girl in yellow pursed her lips and smiled lightly: The third grandma is busy with many things, and this servant can remember the third grandma clearly. After laughing, she said softly: It may be that the empress and the princess were too dazzling that day, so the third grandma will naturally pay attention. No slaves.

Ye Tangcai was taken aback, very surprised: It turned out to be someone from the princess's house, I'm sorry.

The maidservant in yellow laughed again: The third grandma misunderstood that the servant girl is a servant of the prince's mansion.

Ye Tangcai shuddered all over, and her body stiffened involuntarily.

Last time, the third grandma came to the princess mansion to thank her for sending dried peony flowers, and told her how to make them. My mother liked it very much. Later, I asked the slaves to try the third grandma's method, but it was unsuccessful, so I wanted to invite the third grandma to the mansion. I will personally teach you a thing or two. The yellow-clothed servant girl said.

Ye Tangcai's face turned pale, but she still smiled and said, I don't know when to go? It's just that the 25th is my grandmother's birthday, so I'm afraid I can't do it on that day.

Then twenty-seven! said the maid in yellow, holding out another post with a phoenix stamped in gold.

Okay, thank you sister. Ye Tangcai took the post, Qiuju, send this sister off.

Qiuju had already cleverly took out a sling of money and stuffed it into the maid's hand. The maid in yellow thanked her, and retreated out in a regular manner.

Qiu Ju sent people out of the West Corner Gate, and then rushed back with a loud cry: Girl, the Crown Princess actually invited us to visit us!

Excited and happy. He said again: The second wife has been talking about the prince's side concubine and the prince's side concubine all day long. I don't know if it's true or not. Today, my girl has been appreciated by the noble person of the prince's concubine. She is known by outsiders. I don't know how she has face.

Qiuju, don't talk about this for now. Ye Tangcai looked at Qiuju cautiously.

Ah? Qiuju frowned, Why, girl? Don't we take pleasure in beating the second wife? If we tell the second wife, she will die of acid!

Let's talk less about family matters. Ye Tangcai raised her hand, and saw the gilded post reflecting the dazzling light in the sun. She thought of the open and secret fight between King Liang and the prince, and her eyes narrowed slightly , smiled slightly: Well, take pleasure in beating Erfang? Let's not set the target too small!

Ye Tangcai didn't say any more, Qiuju tilted her head, puzzled, so she just didn't say anything.

June 25th, Miao's birthday.

Miao's age is not very old, only in her early forties, but as Mrs. Jing'an Hou, her seniority is there. Jing'an Hou's mansion also needs this birthday banquet for human relations, so it is a big event.

Early in the morning, the vermilion lacquered gates of Jing'an Hou Mansion opened wide, and guests came to the door one after another.

That day Wen got up early and was sitting in front of the dressing table, letting Nianqiao comb her hair.

Ma'am, if you can't stand it anymore, you can tell the old lady. Cai Mama said worriedly.

Wen looked at his slightly pale face in the mirror: After two days of recuperation, I'm already much better, and it's not like I'm sick, how can I be so hypocritical.

Aunt Cai lowered her eyes, and Wen looked at Aunt Cai in the mirror, and smiled: I know what you are worried about, because I am afraid that I will feel uncomfortable seeing Ye Chengde... If I don't go, won't I be showing weakness to him? ! Why shouldn't I go?

Nanny Cai knew that if she was not allowed to go, she would be overwhelmed in the house, so she nodded: Madam is right.

After changing clothes, Mrs. Wen and Nanny Cai went to Anning Hall together.

At the gazebo not far from Anning Hall, I met Luo Shi and Ye Chenggang, followed by a nanny, holding a three or four-year-old girl, who was Luo Shi's daughter.

Sister-in-law. Luo Shi stepped forward with a smile. Seeing Wen's slightly pale face, even with light makeup on, she still couldn't completely cover up the gloom, so she frowned, I heard that you have been ill recently.

Yeah, it's just a cold. He coughed twice.

But Luo Shi vaguely learned from Ye Lingjiao that Wen Shi was made ill by the outer room in Songhua Lane.

Luo Shi secretly scolded Ye Chengde countless times in his heart, he was very sympathetic to Wen Shi, and stepped forward to hold Wen Shi's hand: Recently the weather is hot, it can indeed make people sick, sister-in-law should pay more attention.

Yes. Wen nodded with a smile.

The sister-in-law went to Anning Hall together. Outside the courtyard gate, he bumped into Ye Chengde.

Ye Chengde didn't even cast a glance at Wen's body, he still had a refined look on his face, looked at Ye Chenggang and said hello: Third brother.

Hey! Ye Chenggang responded heartily, about Ye Chengde raising a concubine...what does it matter to him? He just swept the snow in front of his door.

Several people walked into the west room of Anning Hall, while the others had already arrived.

Mrs. Miao changed into a brand-new dark red Fu Lu Shou Hang silk long-body girdle, wearing a dark red peacock pattern inlaid with pearls on her forehead and wiping her forehead. She sat on the couch with Ye Hewen and was bowed down by her descendants.

Brothers and sisters Ye Chengde, Ye Chengxin, Ye Chenggang and Ye Lingjiao stood in the first row.

Wen's, Sun's, and Luo's stood in a row.

Ye Yun, Ye Rong, Ye Weicai, and a nanny hugged Luo Shi's daughter, and a nanny hugged the concubine daughter of the second room and stood in a row.

Everyone in the room bowed to Miao and said auspicious words to wish them a birthday. Miao smiled and asked them to get up: Okay, you all are busy with your own work!

The three Ye Chengde brothers clasped their hands together and turned around to go out. Ye Yun took another look at Wen's, mother's face was slightly pale, she was not very sick! Thinking about it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Boss, since you are suffering from the cold, go back and rest. Miao said.

Thank you, mother. Wen said and looked at Ye Yun: Brother Yun, help me back home.

Ye Yun only felt terrified, but Wen Shi had already spoken, so there was no way to refuse, so he walked up to her and supported her: Mother, let's go. After thinking about it, she looked at Ye Weicai: Third sister, let's go together! Take the bride back.

Ye Weicai was stunned, thinking that she hadn't stepped forward immediately, she looked very unfilial, her face flushed red, she stood up quickly, stepped forward to support Wen's other hand: Mother, let's go back.

Ye Yun supported Wen Shi, fighting with each other along the way, for fear that Wen Shi would ask him about Songhua Lane, but thinking that Ye Weicai was here, it was impossible for Wen Shi to ask, so she was not so afraid.

The whole journey was like torture, and finally returned to Rongguiyuan. Ye Yun asked Wen to lie down, and then said: Mother, the Zhuang Guohou's mansion will also come today, and Baohuan said he would throw a pot with me, so I'll go and have a look. Has he come?

Originally thought that Wen Shi would scold him, but Wen Shi only responded lightly: Well, you go!

Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled with a cracked mouth: Then I'll go first.

After speaking, she slipped out with oil on her soles of her feet. Seeing his leaving figure, Nanny Cai gritted her teeth: This bastard!

Leave him alone. Wen said weakly.

Mother, do you want some water? Ye Weicai asked with concern.

No need. It's your grandmother's birthday today, you go outside to help your sister-in-law entertain the female relatives, as long as Nianqiao and Nanny Cai are here. Go! Wen said.

Ye Weicai looked at Wen Shibing on the bed, afraid that others would say that she was not filial, but she also wanted to play, after hearing what Wen Shi said, she nodded and said with a smile: What's the fun, I'll tell my mother later. listen.

Okay, you are the most obedient, let's go!

Only then did Ye Weicai walk away in a jerk.

Ye Wei took out the Rongguiyuan and walked along the Qingshiban Road. When she returned to the Anning Hall, it was already bustling with laughter. It was obvious that a lot of people had come to pay their respects.

Ye Weicai stretched her neck to look inside, and saw that there were already many female relatives sitting inside, all of whom she knew.

She walked in and bowed: I have seen my first aunt, my second aunt, Mrs. Bao, Mrs. Wen, and all the sisters.

Okay, let's get up! Miao smiled and waved.

The guests in the room were Ye Lingjiao's two married concubines. Mrs. Da Ye married the fifth son of the concubine of Jinweihou Mansion, and Mrs. Xiao Ye married a junior official of the seventh rank. Mrs. Daye came with her youngest daughter, a clever eight-year-old girl. Xiaoye has only one son, and he has already gone outside to play with his brothers.

Mrs. Bao is Mrs. Zhuang Guohou, who is sitting on the armchair with Bao Qi.

Mrs. Wen is the Wen family, Wen Lanya's mother, the Chen family. Wen Lanya and Bao Qi sat opposite each other, and they didn't like each other.

Especially the last time Ye Licai got married, Bao Qi praised Ye Licai greatly, but in the end the dowry box rolled out of the stone, and she was very ashamed. Afraid of being made fun of by Wen Lanya, she didn't even go to the Star Picking Station in May and June.

But now it's been a long time, and she doesn't feel ashamed anymore, and she went to see Ye Licai once, and found that Ye Licai was pregnant, and she was like a duck to water in her husband's house. This is enough to slap Ye Tang in the face!

Bao Qi looked at Mrs. Miao, pursed her lips and smiled: Old lady, I heard that Sister Li is doing well in Zhang's family. After all, it is not easy for girls to say that they are pregnant.

Yes, yes! Miao smiled faintly.

Sun on the side couldn't help but grin from ear to ear: That child is indeed blessed.

The corner of Miao's mouth twitched, and he glanced at her lightly. Erfangyiwozi made Ye Licai's wedding like that, Ye Hewen didn't dare to hand over the gift to her. Ye Lingjiao was about to get married, so she simply handed it over to Ye Lingjiao.

Today's birthday banquet was held by Ye Lingjiao and Luo Shi together. The sister-in-law and sister-in-law went out early to entertain the female relatives and other matters. Although Sun Shi didn't take care of them, they had to go out to help with work on such an occasion!

But Mrs. Sun didn't agree, seeing the guests coming, she sat down on the armchair and took root, in order to brag about Ye Licai in front of others! Also waiting for Ye Licai to come over and show off together.

Seeing Sun's shameless admission, Wen Lanya's eyes flashed sarcasm, and she felt very unhappy.

As she was talking, she heard the maid outside reporting: The Chu family and the eldest aunt are here.

Hey, Ye Tangcai is back. Bao Qi raised her eyebrows and smiled, I don't know why her husband can't come this time?

Wen Lanya's face darkened, and she gave Bao Qi a cold look.

Just as they were talking, the curtain was lifted, and Ye Tangcai and the Qin family came in, followed by the Chu family sisters.

Bao Qi curled her lips secretly when she saw it, she is poor! Looking at Ye Tangcai who had already walked up to her, he smiled and said, Sister Tang, Mrs. Ye is celebrating her birthday today, why isn't your husband-in-law here?

Thinking that Ye Tangcai would be embarrassed or retort with a black face, she turned around and called out: I'm calling you, come quickly!

Both Bao Qi and Wen Lanya were startled, stretched their necks and looked out, only to see a desolate and handsome young man walking in, dressed in a light blue simple straight suit, with black hair like waterfalls, gorgeous and exquisite eyebrows and eyes, with a clear demeanor.

Bao Qi and Wen Lanya looked at Chu Yunpan in disbelief. This is her concubine, Xianggong, who actually looks like this? Since it has grown like this, why didn't you bring it back last time?

Bao Qi's face was dark, but she couldn't bear to look back at Chu Yunpan. Wen Lanya smiled lightly, yes, at least this looks good!

Everyone in the Chu family saw the ceremony and said birthday wishes to the Miao family, and the Miao family let them get up.

Wen Lanya pulled Ye Tangcai: Sister Tang, why didn't Ye Licai bring her cousin back when she got married last time?

Uh... Didn't I say that? He's busy. Ye Tangcai said.

Wen Lanya snorted, then looked at Bao Qi: Last time, she said she was busy. She laughed as she spoke.

Sun looked at it, hehe twice, and glanced at Qin's mother and daughter with contempt.

Mrs. Chu, Miss Chu, sit down! Mrs. Miao greeted quickly, and then said to Ye Tangcai: Sister Tang, your mother is cold, go and see her.

Yes. Ye Tang agreed.

My mother-in-law has a cold? Then let's go and see her too! Qin said with a smile, really hating Sun's obvious gaze.

And I didn't see the Zhang family here, obviously they haven't come yet. She didn't even want to meet Ye Licai and the Zhang family.

Is aunt sick? Wen Lanya pulled Chen Shi: Mother, let's go see aunt too.

Chen patted her hand and turned around to speak.

Miao said with a smile, All go.

Mrs. Bao smiled and said: You all go, I will go after you go out later, it's not too crowded.

So Ye Tangcai left the house with the Chu family, Wen Lanya's mother and daughter, and went all the way to the Rongguiyuan.

Walking along the way, Chu Miaoshu and Chu Miaohua looked at the luxuriant garden, pavilions, terraces and buildings, it was really good everywhere. Although the Chu family also had these buildings, they were dilapidated and dilapidated, so how could they be as colorful as here.

Walking along the Neifu River, spreading flowers and willows all the way, passing two gazebos, you will see a spacious courtyard, which is the Rongguiyuan where Wen's lived.

Mother, sisters, please. Ye Tang made a gesture, inviting Qin's mother and daughter to enter.

Wen Lanya's mother and daughter were used to coming, so they hurried in.

When the maids in the courtyard saw the visitor, they reported to the house, and Madam Cai greeted her, smiling, Everyone, please come in, please come in! The curtain was drawn.

Everyone entered the room with a roar, and after a while, the room was full of people.

Wen Shi was sitting on the bed, and she wanted to get up with a smile, but Ye Tangcai hurriedly held her down: Have you gotten better these two days?

It's much better, it's okay, just rest for a few days. Wen smiled, looking up to see Chu Yunpan Qinglingling, a handsome young man with a peerless appearance, she was very happy.

Ye Tangcai saw that she was happy when she saw Chu Yunpan, and the corners of her mouth twitched. It's really a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looks at her, the happier she is!

Auntie, why are you getting cold? It's a hot day. Wen Lanya said.

Then everyone chattered and asked Hou, stayed here for a quarter of an hour, Wen said he wanted to take medicine, and everyone left.

After leaving the gate of the Rongguiyuan, Qin said: Where do you entertain guests? Let's go over there.

Osmanthus Fragrance Pavilion. Ye Tangcai said: I'll go back and sit with grandma for a while, mother, you go first!

When the grandmother celebrates her birthday, the granddaughter doesn't even sit down, and she has to be with her for a while to be filial piety.

Ye Tangcai ordered again: Qiuju, take mother and sisters there.

No need, I'll go there too. Chen Shi said.

So as soon as the Qin family and the sisters of the Chu family left with the Chen family, Ye Tangcai looked at Chu Yunpan again: Are you going outside?

Okay. Chu Yunpan nodded. Anning hall is full of female relatives, although he is the grandson-in-law, it is not good to stay there, so he can only get the male guests outside.

Ye Tangcai and Wen Lanya returned to Anning Hall, before entering the room, they heard Mrs. Sun's laughter coming from the Xici room. The corners of Ye Tangcai and Wen Lanya's mouths twitched, no need to guess, it must be Ye Licai and the Zhang family who came!

The two looked at each other, then walked into the room and turned into the Xici Room.

I saw Meng Shi, Ye Licai, Zhang Boyuan and Zhang Manman praying for Zhang Miao's birthday: May the old lady be as blessed as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan.

Alright, get up! Miao nodded with a smile.

I saw that Zhang Boyuan had already helped Ye Licai walk to a circle on the left, and helped her to sit down, while Meng Shi and Zhang Manman also sat down on the side.

Bao Qi smiled and said: Mr. Zhang is really kind to Sister Li. She is very careful, like a glazed doll. She really becomes more delicate after marriage.

As soon as these words came out, the people in the room burst into laughter.

I'm so squeamish... Ye Licai smiled sweetly, but also shyly.

This is the child's upper body, so protect yourself. Sun said happily, and suddenly turned around, seeing Ye Tangcai back, she was even happier: Auntie is back, sit down!

Ye Tangcai hehehe, still walked in with Wen Lanya, and found two embroidered pier to sit down beside Mrs. Ye.
