The entrance of the Daxiong Palace is not a place to talk about the past, Mrs. Zhao often comes to Baiyun Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and is very familiar with the temple host, so she took Ye Qinglan and others to a secluded room in a temple that was arranged for her alone.The wing room is not big, there is only one room, and the furnishings are very clean and simple. When entering the door, there is a round table with a bisque tea set on it. Apart from that, there is only a huge picture of Static' word map.

After entering the room, Ye Qinglan and others sat down with Mrs. Zhao. It was her maid who supported Mrs. Zhao in the main hall earlier. After serving tea and cakes, she left the room and closed the door behind Mrs. Zhao's signal.

No one spoke, and the only sound in the room was the crisp clinking of the teacup lid and bowl when Mrs. Zhao was drinking tea.

Ye Qinglan wasn't thirsty at first, but seeing the clear tea soup in the teacup in front of her, and the familiar and elegant fragrance wafting over, she held the teacup and took a sip, and when she tasted the sweetness and slightly sour taste in her mouth, Can't help but smile with some nostalgia: "Sure enough, it's the flower fruit tea made by my aunt. It tastes the same as when I was a child. It hasn't changed at all."

Holding the teacup, Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "It's as if I haven't drunk it for a long time. I remember that there is a big bag in the boxing gift I give you every year. Why, haven't you drunk enough?"

Ye Qinglan's smile froze slightly, and then she seemed to be embarrassed by the teasing, and she lowered her eyelids halfway and said nothing.He picked up the teacup and took another sip, but when he drank it now, he felt that his mouth was more sour than before.

Looking at Ji Chunshan, who was holding Ji Ningxu and patiently wiping the tea stains on his lips with a handkerchief, and then turned his gaze back to Ye Qinglan, who was slightly nodding and slightly restrained, Zhao's eyes were full of complexities. There are so many things I want to ask, but I don’t know where to start.

Her husband and Ye Qinglan's father were originally classmates, and together they passed the examination of scholar, and they passed the examination of Juren. They have similar temperaments and strong feelings, and they are no different from brothers of the opposite sex.The two families have a close relationship, and she and Ye Qinglan's mother are also very close friends. Ye Qinglan said that she just watched her grow up since she was a child.

Later, Ye's father passed away, and Ye Qinglan entered the college in the county to study, leaving only Ye's mother at home. She was worried that Ye's mother would be lonely and depressed and had no one to take care of her, so she took her into the house for a period of time, but Ye's mother was not healthy. Well, suddenly hearing the news of her husband's death, she was so frightened that she would be hurt, and within two years, she also left, leaving behind Ye Qinglan, who was only 12 years old at the time.

Losing her parents one after another in just two years, one can imagine the blow to Ye Qinglan, who was still a teenager at the time and had a very deep relationship with her parents, she was so distraught that she could hardly control herself.In front of Ye Mu's mourning hall, Ye Qinglan didn't drink water or rice for several days and even fainted, and after Ye Mu's burial, she was also in a daze and fell into pain and sadness and couldn't extricate herself.Fortunately, with the passage of time, the pain will eventually dissipate slowly, and Ye Qinglan is tough and transparent even though he is young. He knows that his parents are alive, so he would not want to see him like this, and he would not let his parents see him like this. Disappointed, he gradually came out, and since then he has been immersed in studying knowledge, focusing and assiduously.

Father Ye has been very smart since he was a child, and has excellent knowledge, so he passed the Juren examination at the age of less than 25. Even in the entire Fangcheng County, there are very few existences, but Ye Qinglan is better than blue. , much stronger than Father Ye.Ye's father was already a scholar, but Ye Qinglan took the children's examination at the age of 15 and passed the first two examinations. Although he missed the final college examination due to illness, everyone believed without doubt that he already had the knowledge of a scholar , and getting the title of scholar is just waiting for another year.

What surprised everyone who followed him was that since Ye Qinglan went back to his hometown to visit relatives when he was 15 years old, he never came back. Then an incredible news gradually spread that Ye Qinglan had married a wife up.Everyone couldn't believe it, but when they asked Ye Qinglan's cousin Ye Jinming, they got a helpless affirmative answer, and there was an uproar.

Some sighed, some cursed sharply, and some mocked and ridiculed, but at that time, these had nothing to do with Ye Qinglan after all. Since then, he has never appeared in front of people in the county again. Slowly, this The genius boy who was once known by people is no longer mentioned, and gradually fades out of people's sight.

Back then, when Mrs. Zhao first heard the news that Ye Qinglan was married, she couldn't believe it at first.After all, Ye Qinglan is the only son of his husband's good friend Ye Juren, who is outstanding in character and learning, and has a bright future. How could she suddenly give up everything and marry just like that regardless of her parents' reputation for being unfilial?

She wanted to ask the truth, but Ye Jinming looked embarrassed and said that Ye Qinglan took a fancy to a man from another village who came to have a wedding on the day her second brother got married, and she insisted on marrying him. people.At first they disagreed, but later Ye Qinglan said that he had that man's child, and they had no choice but to prepare a generous dowry and marry him.As for Ye's father's inability to continue, Ye Jinming said, there are two other brothers in the family besides him, and his parents have decided to adopt his second brother to his uncle's name in the future, and they must not let the uncle have no successors and cut off the heirs .

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao felt that it was impossible. From what she knew, Ye Qinglan would never act like this.She asked Ye Jinming repeatedly but couldn't ask anything else, so Mrs. Zhao wanted to go directly to Ye Qinglan to find out, but at that time her old illness relapsed and it was inconvenient to go out, so she had to send someone to ask, but the result was that But it is generally the same as what Ye Jinming said.

In addition, the servant also took back a handwritten letter written by Ye Qinglan. It said that he chose to marry out of his own heart and had nothing to do with others. As for leaving his parents without heirs, he was unfilial. The adoption took place under his father's name and performed filial piety on his behalf, which made him feel less guilty, and he was very grateful to his uncle's family.He knew that his wayward behavior disappointed the Zhao couple. It was he who was ashamed of the care and care of the two elders for many years. He had no face to meet again, so he wrote a handwritten letter stating everything, and hoped that the Zhao couple would cherish everything about themselves. An Hao, but there is no need to worry about the unworthy him anymore.

Holding the handwriting that was exactly the same as Ye Qinglan's handwriting, even though Mrs. Zhao couldn't believe it before, she had no choice but to believe it.It's just that they saw the children growing up since they were young. Although they did something that disappointed them, they couldn't let them go. They wanted to go and see for themselves, but they didn't know what happened to Ye Qinglan's husband's family. They asked Ye Jinming, but Ye Jinming said He had obtained Ye Qinglan's entrustment in advance, and he could not tell them no matter what.

In desperation, he had no choice but to give up, but asked Ye Jinming to send some gifts every New Year's day. Although Ye Jinming would bring back Ye Qinglan's gift in return, he never saw each other again until today...

Mrs. Zhao put down the teacup, but sighed, and said sadly: "Brother Lan, I have known since I was a child that you have your own ideas in your heart, but I never thought that you would be so determined and cruel. If you were not in Baiyun Temple today Come across, do you really plan to never see me and your Uncle Guo?"

She knew that Ye Qinglan felt that she had let them down by marrying without permission, so she had no face to see them again.Indeed, when they first found out, they were indeed very disappointed, even a little annoyed, but after getting annoyed, they still missed it, so every New Year's day she would personally prepare a gift according to Ye Qinglan's preferences, and send it to others Ye family, please Ye Jinming hand it over to Ye Qinglan.

She thought that Ye Qinglan would be able to understand her heart when she saw the gift, but although she never missed a gift every time, she never waited until Ye Qinglan came to see her in person.Time and time again, year after year, every time she looked forward to it, she was always disappointed in what she got in the end, and her heart gradually became cold.Afterwards, although she still prepared presents carefully, she no longer expected Ye Qinglan to see her.The gift from Ye Qinglan sent by Ye Jinming seems to be quite generous, presumably Ye Qinglan's life is also worry-free, as long as he lives well, that's enough, seeing or not is not that important.

What she didn't expect was that when she completely gave up hope, God sent Ye Qinglan in front of her without any preparation, which made her very pleasantly surprised, but also filled with mixed feelings.

"Aunt Guo, I, I'm sorry..." As soon as Zhao's words fell, Ye Qinglan's eyes turned red instantly. So far, he has nothing more to say.

Mrs. Zhao has a son and a daughter, the son is older than Ye Qinglan, the daughter is younger than Ye Qinglan, but the older one is young and rigid, just like his father, the younger one is cute and lively, but has a more naughty personality than a boy. Going up the tree today and going to the room tomorrow, she doesn’t have the gentleness of her daughter’s family at all, but Ye Qinglan, who looks exquisite and cute since she was a child, has a cute and caring temper, which makes her hurt. If it weren’t for Ye’s father and mother The child, she wanted to grab it and bring it home to raise.

Although her heart was hurt a few years ago, she is still happy to see Ye Qinglan now. Seeing Ye Qinglan's eyes reddened by her own words, she couldn't help but feel distressed and annoyed. She is plump but well maintained The soft hand gently caressed Ye Qinglan's hand holding the teacup with white knuckles, full of love, and said softly: "Good boy, don't cry, Auntie's heart hurts when she sees you. Auntie knows you are a good boy. It's not your fault."

Ji Chunshan also couldn't see Ye Qinglan's sad appearance the most, but because of Zhao's presence, he could only resist the urge to hug Ye Qinglan, quietly held Ye Qinglan's other hand from under the table, and squeezed it lightly. Pinch for comfort.

I didn't want Ji Chunshan to make small moves under the table in front of respecting the elders. Although he knew that he cared about him, Ye Qinglan was a little embarrassed, and squeezed back, and then broke away from Ji Chunshan's hand.

Although Ji Chunshan thought he was doing it secretly, and Ye Qinglan withdrew his hand quickly, he did not escape Zhao Shi's eyes. He looked at Ye Qinglan who suddenly blushed, and then at Ji Chunshan who retracted his hand with a secret smile on his face. Chun Shan, she sighed in her heart, but smiled knowingly on her face, and said: "Although your cousin always said that you are doing well, I always think about seeing it with my own eyes and listening to what you say. It's reassuring to say that. Although it has been several years, I finally met today, and I can finally feel at ease seeing that you are now a loving husband and wife and a harmonious family. "

She didn't need to ask any more questions, just seeing Ye Qinglan's complexion and his attire, she knew that he was doing well. As for his husband-in-law Ji Chunshan, although Zhao didn't know anything about it, just looking at him was enough. He has a dignified appearance, and his brows are straight and clear, which is not bad to look at. He is also a match when standing with Ye Qinglan, not to mention that there is another Ji Ningxu who looks exactly like Ye Qinglan when he was a child, but is equally cute and lovely. What a beautiful family of three.

Ye Qinglan raised her head subconsciously when she heard Mrs. Zhao say that the husband and wife are in love, followed Mrs. Zhao's eyes and looked to her side, and then met Ji Chunshan's eyes who looked over with a smile, unconsciously raised her eyebrows, and raised her eyebrows. The corners of his lips pursed, but he soon realized Zhao's scrutinizing gaze, and slightly lowered his head with a blushing face.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Zhao suddenly had a feeling in her heart for no reason. If Ye Qinglan hadn't married at the beginning, but followed the original path and only focused on studying the imperial examinations, she might not have the happiness she is living now.

After a few words, the restraint and isolation of seeing each other after so many years faded away.

"Aunt Guo, I don't know if Uncle Guo is all right? Will he suffer from cold legs again today?" Ye Qinglan asked Zhao Shi.

"Fortunately, it's an old problem after all, and it can't be eradicated. Fortunately, a few years ago, someone recommended an old doctor in the country. He made a plaster according to his prescription, but it was very effective. Once it broke out, it didn't look like it. In the past, it was usually painful and swollen, and I felt much better." Zhao said with a smile.

Ye Qinglan nodded and said with a reassuring smile, "Really? That would be great."

Mrs. Zhao thought of something, and said again: "By the way, that old doctor is from Anping Village. I heard that Anpo Village is not far from Yejia Village. Do you know him?"

"Anping Village? Could it be Dr. Hu?" Ye Qinglan and Ji Chunshan looked at each other in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, it's an old doctor surnamed Hu. Why, you really know each other?"

Just as Ye Qinglan was about to speak, Ji Chunshan replied with a smile: "I know each other, my nephew is from Anping Village."

Before, it was Zhao and Ye Qinglan who were talking, and Ji Chunshan was listening. Although Zhao was very curious about Ji Chunshan's family history, he didn't want to ask rashly. Now that Ji Chunshan had spoken, she Then he immediately asked: "You are from Anping Village? What a coincidence, who else is there in the family?"

Ji Chunshan could easily hear the urgency in Zhao's question, and knew that she must have been holding back for a long time. Thinking that Zhao was Ye Qinglan's respected and affectionate elder, he answered frankly: "My parents passed away a few years ago. There is a brother and a sister, but they can't grow up."

"Oh, it's also a poor child." Zhao's eyes showed pity. She didn't expect that like Ye Qinglan, she was also an orphan without father and mother, but she felt pity for each other.

Ji Chunshan smiled and didn't say anything. He was an orphan in two lifetimes, maybe he really didn't have any relationship with his parents.

Then Mrs. Zhao asked some other questions, how old is it?What do you do for a living?But there are other relatives?

Ji Chunshan answered all of them.

Not long after, it was already noon, and the maid who was guarding the door knocked on the door and came in, saying that it was time to break the fast in the temple, and then they stopped talking and got up together to go to the fasting hall.

After eating a vegetarian meal, she went back to Mrs. Zhao's wing and sat down for a while. It was almost time to go down the mountain. Mrs. Zhao went down the mountain with them. Although she was nearly fifty years old, she was in good health. Walking and resting all the way, but also walked down the mountain by himself.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Ye Qinglan and the others got into Zhao's carriage again, and they didn't let them get out of the carriage until they entered the city and reached the temporarily rented courtyard.

Before getting out of the car, Ye Qinglan looked at Mrs. Zhao's reluctance to speak, and said that she would visit her tomorrow, and Mrs. Zhao smiled and left contentedly.
