Family Has a Concubine

Back at Qiongmingxuan, the sky was already dark, Huiran spread the clothes on the Arhat bed in sets, there were five sets of clothes in total.

"The shopkeeper said that there are too many clothes to rush to make, and there is nothing we can do. Everything else has been done, but the collar and cuffs have not been repaired." Huiran said, "I will stay up late at night with Qiuju, and tomorrow will be finished." One can get out."

"Let me do it too, the three of us can do it well without staying up late." Ye Tangcai said.

After a few people had eaten, they began to repair the cuffs and collars of the clothes.

Ye Tangcai looked at it and felt that the clothes were too plain, so she was trimming the cuffs. Halfway through, she couldn't help but embroidered a small crabapple flower on the edge of the cuff.

After embroidering, I was very happy, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was not right, so I folded the little flower, once it was folded, it just folded into the edge, and after sewing, it disappeared.

Of the five pieces of clothing, two of them were made by myself, and they were all brewed in the same way.

When the five pieces of clothes were all repaired and it was almost midnight, Qiuju and Huiran yawned and went back to sleep.

Huiran is on duty tonight, she sleeps on the outer bed through the bead curtain, and Qiuju sleeps in the outer wing.

Sleeping until midnight, Huiran was in a daze, only hearing a little movement, she opened her eyes, and saw the light in the bedroom turned on.

She looked carefully, and saw the lamp beside the bed, through the octagonal cover, emitting a yellowish light.

Ye Tangcai was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with half of her body leaning out of the tent, holding those sets of clothes in her hand, with her head down, earnestly embroidering.

Watching her embroidering, Huiran was startled, feeling sore in her heart.

Today she saw Ye Tangcai quietly embroidering flowers on the edge of the sleeves, rolled them up and sewed them up after the embroidery. It's meaningless to do so, because the embroidered crabapple flowers will be collected, so you can't see them at all.

But she still enjoys it. Now in the middle of the night, she still gets up secretly, takes apart the few clothes she doesn't have, embroiders them with small flowers, and then sews them together. Have fun.

Under the yellowish light, her long black hair hangs down, making her skin whiter and fairer, and her bright and delicate facial features are also dyed with gentle tenderness.

She didn't bite off the embroidery thread until the last piece was finished. Looking at her work, her eyes flashed with pride, and her eyes were shining brightly, too brightly.

Hui Ran thought that Ye Tangcai and Chu Yunpan could not be a husband and wife, and felt that Ye Tangcai shouldn't do such a thing, but seeing her smile, she couldn't bear to interrupt.

There are too many troubles recently, this is her only pleasure, how can anyone have the heart to destroy it.

After neatly stacking the clothes one by one, Ye Tangcai turned on the light and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Ye Tangcai got up: "Hui Ran, comb my hair."

"Here we come." Huiran agreed while tidying up the bed.

Qiuju was always an early riser, and had already come in with water in her hands. After Ye Tangcai washed up, she casually rummaged through a set of clothes from the closet.

A black jacket embroidered with begonia flowers, a long skirt of acacia flowers woven with gold thread in water shadow red, and a cloud bun on her hair. After changing her clothes, she ran out with the pile of clothes in her arms.

"Hey, girl, I haven't brought the hairpin yet!" Qiu Ju chased out with a red gold butterfly hairpin in his hand, "What are you running for?"

While talking, he had already grabbed Ye Tangcai, and after a farewell to her head, the hairpin landed on her head.

"Okay, you don't have to wear this." Ye Tangcai felt that the hairpin made her head hurt, and complained while supporting the hairpin.

"But there's nothing on your head, what's it like?" Qiuju also complained.

"Really?" Ye Tangcai and Ben didn't pay attention to whether they were wearing jewelry or not when they went out.

While the two were talking, they left Qiongmingxuan.

After a few steps, we arrived at Lanzhuju, and the courtyard door was already open.

Yu Yang came out with water in his hands, and was startled when he saw her: "The third grandma is so early."

"Oh, this is the tailor-made clothes for the third master last time, and they are ready today." Ye Tangcai said.

Yu Yang took it happily: "It just so happens that I'm leaving for my hometown today, so I'll put it on now."

After speaking, he walked into the house, and after a while, Chu Yunpan came out.

Standing on the porch at the door, he was a sight to behold.

A light blue plain-faced silk made him look taller and taller. His thick black-like long hair hung down heavily, his eyes were slightly smoky, and his gorgeous eyebrows showed dignity and alienation. They came slowly, like a painting. The ink painting unfolds slowly, elegant to the extreme, and beautiful.

"It really looks good." Qiu Ju couldn't take his eyes away. He used to think he looked good in old clothes, but now that he changed into this set of clothes, he showed his aura as bright as the bright moon more and more vividly. "It's just too plain."

"It's okay." Ye Tangcai smiled with narrowed eyes. Not plain, there is a little flower hidden in the sleeve.

Chu Yunpan saw her smiling cunningly and cutely like a little fox, her hair shrugged, and her heart moved slightly, then turned around and walked into the house: "Are the books packed?"

Ye Tang curled her lips, why not let others look at her, and she won't lose money.

But Ye Tangcai was still very happy in her heart, and turned around to leave Lanzhuju.

While walking, Qiuju said: "I went to Yixiangyuan for lunch at noon, and my uncle said that I would give the second and third masters a farewell party."

"Oh." Ye Tangcai agreed.

When the two returned to Qiongmingxuan, Hui Ran had just washed up and saw Ye Tang with a bright smile on his face.

"By the way, I don't know what's going on with Miss Ling." Qiuju said suddenly.

Ye Tangcai frowned.

Huiran secretly glared at Qiuju, it is rare that there is a handsome man who looks like a fairy changing clothes for others to show, which makes the girl look happy, but Qiuju doesn't open any pot.

Hui Ran said: "We don't have to worry, there is still an old lady watching over us anyway, she loves Miss Ling the most."

Speaking of this, Ye Tangcai smiled: "That's right."

If it really doesn't work, Miao Jihe will fall to his death at worst.

"It's just, let's not go back." Huiran said again, "During this time, I often go back, let's not talk about what Yixiangyuan thinks, just from the old man, I'm afraid there will be criticism."

Although Ye Tangcai was worried about Wen's and Ye Lingjiao, but running there every day was really unseemly.

After they had breakfast casually, Ye Tangcai hugged her cat and played in the yard.

Huiran looked over there while drying the clothes.

Ye Tangcai was seen squatting on the ground, holding a shiny gold plaque in his hand.

The cat meowed and howled angrily, and rushed over to snatch it. Ye Tangcai lifted it a few times with a smile, and then it jumped up, grabbed it in one bite, and then ran away.

"This thief cat is really a good thief." Qiuju was a little speechless, "This time we have to find it easier, let's see where it hides things."

As he spoke, he had already run after the cat.

Ye Tangcai smiled and said, "Look at her having more fun than me."

After drying the last piece of clothing, Huiran smiled helplessly.

Soon it was noon, and Luye came to pass the meal.

Ye Tang took out Qiongmingxuan, met Chu Yunpan at the door, and the husband and wife went to Yixiangyuan together.

Walking into the courtyard door, Luye stood on the porch and opened the curtain. When the two entered the room, they heard Aunt Fei's laughter.

"Master, don't worry, the master has praised the second master more than once, as long as his performance is stable." Aunt Fei said.

The Qin family on the couch sneered, thinking that this person is a Chinese cabbage on the street? Enough is enough?

"Erlang, after entering the examination room, don't think about anything." Uncle Chu looked worried. "It's just that the Mid-Autumn Festival is going to be spent outside, alone."

Just as he was talking, the curtain was lifted, Ye Tangcai and Chu Yunpan walked in, and saluted the leader: "Father, mother."

"Oh, Sanlang and Sanlang's wife are here." When Uncle Chu saw Chu Yunpan, he remembered that Chu Yunpan was also going to rush for the exam this year. "The two brothers spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together, and they won't be too lonely."

The corner of Ye Tangcai's mouth twitched, is this the role of her third master?

Ye Tang glanced lightly at the room, only to see that it was already full of people, and everyone who should be there had arrived.

"Third Brother has changed into a new set of clothes." Chu Miaohua said suddenly.

"That's right, you have to wear new clothes when you go out for the exam." Ye Tangcai replied with a smile.

Everyone has already noticed that, after all, Chu Yunpan's usual attire is too fixed, and he only comes and goes with those two clothes.

The moment Chu Congke saw Chu Yunpan and his wife come in, his face froze, and he was not well. Because today he also changed into a new set of clothes.

He was wearing a brocade gown with a round collar of silk with a vase pattern on a sapphire blue background, a jade belt around his waist, and a silver crown on his head, making him even more handsome and noble.

I don't want Chu Yunpan to come in, only wearing a simple light blue straight suit, which will overshadow him and leave him behind.

Chu Congke's face turned dark, and Ye Tangcai didn't even look at him, and his heart was sour and bubbling.

"Second brother, third brother, you have to work hard, Guangzong Yaozu depends on you." Chu Feiyang looked at the two younger brothers, those cold eyes gave him a little warmth.

"Brother, don't worry, I will work hard for your part." Chu Congke said with a smile.

The corner of Qin's mouth twitched, resentful in his heart. When my son was young, he should have studied for scientific examinations, learned how to fight, and how to lead the army!

As a result, when I wanted to take the scientific examination, I was already too old.

Qin cursed in her heart that Chu Congke would definitely fail the ranking. As for Chu Yunpan, she didn't even bother to curse, because he would definitely fail the ranking.

Everyone knew that he was either sleeping or distracted in class, and this time he was also forced by his wife.

"Set the meal!" Qin said.

The maid outside immediately brought food boxes one by one and put the food inside on the table.

After eating, everyone dispersed.

Uncle Chu gave a few more instructions, and then sent brothers Chu Congke back.

Chu Yunpan returned to the house, Yuyang and Yuhan each carried a box, and went to the Chuihua Gate in the east corner.

This time they went out with two carriages, one was Zhulun Huagai's big carriage and the other was Qingfeng carriage.

The luggage of Chu Yunpan and Chu Congke were put in the pony carriage, and Zhu Lun took the canopy carriage.

Before getting into the car, Chu Yunpan said, "I'll take Yuyang back, and Yuhan stays at home. If you need anything, just ask him."

"Okay." Ye Tangcai was startled, then nodded in agreement.

Chu Congke had already boarded the carriage. Seeing that the husband and wife were still talking about themselves before getting into the carriage, he felt conflicted and bubbling sourly: "Third brother, hurry up and get in the carriage. If you don't leave, you will be gone before dark." Can't make it to the town outside."

Can't help but look at Ye Tangcai again, but Ye Tangcai still doesn't look at him. I felt even more uncomfortable.

Chu Yunpan glanced at him coldly, then boarded the carriage, the groom flicked his whip, and drove out.

Seeing him leave, Ye Tangcai walked back.

...

Two days later, Ye Tangcai wrote a letter asking Qiuju to be delivered to Jing'an Hou Mansion. The next day, Ye Lingjiao wrote back.

Huiran and Qiuju both leaned over to have a look: "How is it?"

"Sister-in-law said that grandma has sent someone to investigate." Ye Tangcai said. "I saw him go to the theater over there every day to support that Huadan, nothing else."

Qiuju frowned: "What's going on? Is he worth marrying? If nothing happens, Mr. Miao is really good. He is good-looking, talented, and a great talent that everyone envies. Actually , we were really too impulsive that day, we can't misunderstand people because of a trivial matter."

Ye Tangcai frowned slightly, "Be more cautious."

"Girl, don't worry, the old lady is Miss Ling's own mother, no one cares more and worries more than her! I will definitely not make Miss Ling suffer." Huiran said.

Ye Tang grunted, thinking about Wen's family, but he didn't want to go back to her mother's house often.

Time slipped away slowly, and under Ye Tangcai's expectation, it finally came to August.

The second day of August, it was a good day, Ye Tangcai couldn't wait to go outside to buy mooncakes and pastries, and brought Qiuju and Huiran back to Jing'anhou Mansion together.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is only natural for a married woman to send mooncakes to her natal family! I finally went back to see my mother and sister-in-law.

Early in the morning, Ye Tangcai took the carriage and headed for Jing'an Hou Mansion.

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, the carriage entered the corner gate of Jing'an Hou Mansion and stopped at the Chuihua Gate.

When Ye Tangcai walked to Anning Hall, she was stunned, only to hear bursts of laughter from inside, this unscrupulous voice belonged to Mrs. Sun.

"My aunt is back." The maid raised the curtain for Ye Tangcai.

Ye Tangcai walked in, and saw Miao and Ye Hewen sitting on top.

Wen's, Erfang and Sanfang were all sitting in armchairs, and the one sitting on the first armchair on the right was a little woman with a big belly, none other than Ye Licai.

Ye Licai is almost five months pregnant, and her pointed face has become rounder. With a smile on his face, he looked very happy.

But Ye Tangcai remembered the previous life, when Ye Licai was pregnant, her face was flushed and she was proud of herself.

Compared with the previous life, although he is still smiling, it looks bleak.

It seems that what happened to Zhang Manman had a lot of influence on her.

Seeing Ye Tangcai enter the room, Mrs. Sun came over with a face full of surprise: "Isn't this the eldest aunt? What a coincidence, you are here to visit relatives today, and it is the same day as the second aunt. Come and sit."

Ye Tangcai hated her surprised face, because the reason she had such a face was just to show off.

Ye Tangcai walked to the center and saluted Miao and Ye Hewen: "Grandfather, grandmother."

"Well, get up!" Miao said lightly, "Sit down quickly."

Ye Hewen frowned, his old face drawn long.

"Sister Tang, sit here quickly." Ye Lingjiao got up from the embroidered pier with a smile, and pulled Ye Tangcai to Wen's side.

She didn't return to Xiudun, and sat down beside Ye Tangcai.
