Family Has a Concubine

Just as she was talking, there was a little maid outside who was poking her head. Ye Yun recognized that this was the rough servant girl who was sweeping outside, so she called out: "What are you doing?"

These rough envoy maids generally do not enter the house.

The servant girl hesitated for a moment before walking in and said in a low voice, "Fengchun is here over there..."

"Fengchun?" Ye Yun's eyes widened, and then he became excited.

Fengchun went to Changzhou with his father! He actually came back! And now it's the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, and the exam is on the first day of February, so Aunt Ting and Ruidi are back!

"Hey..." Ye Yun was so excited that she wanted to get up, Zhuifeng went to "shh", and pointed to the bedroom.

Ye Yun took a sneak peek, and seeing that there was no movement over there, she knew that Wen Shi had fallen asleep, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young master, let's copy quickly!" said Zhui Feng.

"Okay!" Ye Yun was full of energy, picked up a pen, and copied it seriously.

He had to copy the "Diamond Sutra" three times. The first time he copied it all morning, and for the remaining two times, he worked hard and copied it in an hour.

"It's over!" Ye Yun cheered, put down her pen, patted her clothes, and ran out quickly.

At this time, Mrs. Wen and Nanny Cai came out of the bedroom. Mrs. Wen stood at the door and looked at Ye Yun's back, her eyes sank.

"Ma'am." Nanny Cai took out three copies of the "Diamond Sutra" from Xici Room.

Wen's took it over, the first one was fluffy and untidy, but the last two were surprisingly neat, it could be seen that the latter two were full of seriousness. And the three copies are all in his handwriting, so they cannot be faked.

But Wen's face showed no joy, and said in a cold voice: "He didn't want to ask him to copy a copy of the scriptures for me. He was dawdling, but as soon as he heard... those dregs came back, he worked hard. "

"Madam..." Cai Nanny sighed slightly.

Wen didn't mention his affairs any more, just smiled and changed the subject: "The spring is coming soon, I don't know how the son-in-law is preparing. I didn't get a few velvet antlers last time, so I might as well send them over."

Cai Nanny said: "I'm afraid I'll get angry after eating it, why not take a few taels of blood swallows, it's nourishing and safe."

Wen nodded. Nanny Cai went back to get her things, and then went out in a carriage.

Two quarters of an hour later, they arrived at Dingguobo's Mansion. Qing'er and Xiaozong were sitting on the board of the west corner gate and chatting, when they suddenly saw the carriage coming from Jing'an Hou's Mansion, Qing'er rushed to meet it and led the carriage into the gate.

Cai Momo got out of the car and followed Qing'er to Qiongmingxuan.

Ye Tangcai was drawing tricks with Huiran when Qiuju's happy voice sounded outside: "Girl, Nanny Cai is here."

"Really?" Ye Tangcai was very happy, and quickly put down the pen in her hand.

Nanny Cai has been ushered into Xici Room by Qiuju, Ye Tangcai hastily gave up her seat, and Huiran has already served tea.

"Today is free." Ye Tangcai said.

"My wife thought my uncle was about to have an exam, so I sent some things here." She took out a pack of blood swallows, thought for a while, and then said: "There is one thing I haven't told my aunt. After last year's autumn, I don't know which one The scourge threw a letter to his wife, saying that the little bastard from Yin Ting's family was also selected."

Ye Tang's eyes darkened.

Cai Nanny said bitterly: "Needless to say, that bitch Yin Tingniang must have instructed someone to do it. Later, I went to Songhua Lane to see them quietly, and found that they left the capital again. Soon after the son was released, he also left. Home. I’m afraid I’ll accompany that little bastard back to my hometown to study hard, and if I get hit, I don’t know how to be a monster. I’m afraid it will be bad for my wife!”

Nanny Cai also understood that Ye Chengde had rushed to the top with all his heart. It would be good if they were safe, but if they were not, maybe they really wanted Wen Shi to take over.

Ye Tang looked up at her: "Then what do you think?"

"What else can I do?" Cai Mama said, "Didn't Miss's former maids and mothers-in-law are all on standby at Zhuangzi, let them come to make Rongguiyuan safer and be more careful about eating."

Ye Tangcai thought that in his previous life, Xu Rui "recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan" after winning the examination, but in this life, Ye Chengde was imprisoned, so he refused to admit it after winning the examination, and instead delayed until the examination.

If it drags on, Yin Tingniang will be old, and Xu Rui will not be too young, so they will get married and have children, so they won't wait any longer.

"You don't need to be so defensive, it's so hard, why don't you ask your mother to live with my aunt." Ye Tangcai said.

"Yes!" Nanny Cai's eyes lit up, "That's a good suggestion, Miss."

After drinking a cup of tea, Madam Cai hurriedly left.

Da Wen's originally planned to return to Dingcheng after the Lantern Festival, but Qiu Jing brewed a batch of wine, and it will take some time to produce results, so they haven't left yet.

As the examination approached, more and more students gathered in the capital, and the atmosphere became dignified and tense.

Finally, on the first day of February, the spring was cold and the branches of the plum trees were trembling, and the whole city was deserted and lively.

Early in the morning, candidates from all walks of life came out of the inn, or walked, or took a car, and went to the Gongyuan one after another.

A somewhat old carriage with red wheel and canopy came slowly, and finally stopped in front of the gate of the Gongyuan. Among the candidates and vehicles gathered here, it is not very conspicuous.

Chu Yun climbed out of the car, turned around, stretched out his hand, and helped Ye Tang pick it down.

"Ouch, my old bones!" Uncle Chu followed suit.

Ye Tangcai and Uncle Chu were the only ones in the family who came to see him off for the exam.

Because there were too many candidates along the way, fortunately we started early, otherwise we would not be able to catch up. Chen Shi entered the arena, and now it is four quarters of the hour.

Ye Tangcai held a big paper bag and handed it to him: "Dry food."

Chu Yunpan took it, opened it, and saw that there were steamed buns and sesame cakes inside, half of which were dried meat. For fear of the candidates cheating, they cannot be packed in food boxes, but can only be wrapped in oiled paper.

"Is there enough to eat?" Uncle Chu was very worried, he would have to stay inside for nine days! "Just try your best, don't damage your body, if you don't succeed this year, you'll have to wait for next year, and if you don't, you'll have to raise people."

The corner of Chu Yunpan's mouth twitched, "It's getting late, I'm leaving."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Tangcai, and saw her big charming eyes looking at him with water, and her pink face was blown red by the chilly spring breeze, making one want to reach out and pinch it.

Chu Yunpan turned around and walked towards the gate of the Gongyuan, and soon disappeared among a group of scholars.

Uncle Chu was still looking around, Qiuju suddenly pulled Ye Tangcai: "Miss."

Ye Tang was taken aback for a moment, then turned around to see Qiuju pouted not far away.

Following Qiuju's line of sight, I saw a big black-covered carriage parked there, Xu Rui was standing there in a gray-white scholar's robe, Yin Tingniang, Ye Chengde and Ye Yun were standing beside him, talking to him.

Xu Rui took the dry food, turned around and disappeared in the crowd.

Ye Chengde saw Ye Tang pick it. There was a slight smile on his elegant face, and he nodded towards her, with a cold light in his eyes.

Ye Yun followed Ye Chengde's gaze and saw Ye Tang Caijun's face collapsed.

In the past, if Ye Tangcai bumped him into being with Yin Tingniang and Xu Rui, Ye Yun would be embarrassed and scared, but now he won't anymore.

Because he was with Aunt Ting and Ruidi, he was justified. He did nothing wrong. They all blamed their mother and younger sister for being too vicious, not only trying to trick Aunt Ting and Ruidi into the mansion, but also putting their father in jail.

Being disrespectful and filial to one's biological father is simply not even qualified to be a human being.

"Let's go..." Yin Tingniang hid in the carriage hastily with a pale face.

Ye Yun and Ye Chengde got into the car one after another, and then left.

Ye Tangcai watched them go away, a pair of beautiful eyes flashed ridicule.

When I got home, it was already a moment.

Ye Tangcai walked into the room, feeling warm and comfortable, and let out a deep sigh of relief. Sitting on the Arhat bed, he put his hands in the smoker to roast.

"Girl, Miss Ling sent you a post." Huiran came in with a tray with hot tea and a post with dark flowers on it.

Ye Tangcai picked it up and opened it.

Qiuju huddled on the embroidered pier opposite Ye Tangcai, put her hands on the smoker to roast, and didn't bother to get up: "What is it written?"

"About me to watch a movie tomorrow." Ye Tangcai sighed softly.

"What show are you watching?" Qiuju tilted her head, "Although it's spring, it's too cold today, so it's better to do embroidery at home."

"You're lazy, just stay here and watch the house. I'll go with the girl." Hui Ran sat down on the other side of the Arhat's bed. Twenty-sixth month."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Ye Tangcai frowned.

"The two of you have been preparing for the marriage for several years. It was originally scheduled for the end of August last year. As a result...everything has been prepared. In March, I have a conflict with Miss Ling. In April, we are forbidden to marry. If it's delayed any longer, it will be August. So just set it at the end of this month."

Hui Ran said, and gave Ye Tang a small hand stove.

...

On the second day of the trial, the temperature was still surprisingly cold.

A carriage stopped in the backyard of Huaifang Building, the scorpion was put down, and Ye Tangcai came down. She was wearing a big red down feather cloak. She rubbed her hands, thinking that it was so cold in the examination room, she was a little worried.

"Girl, let's go!" Huiran said.

Ye Tangcai nodded, walked out of the backyard, walked up a corridor, and saw the shadow wall of Spring and Autumn in the Liyuan, and walked around, and saw the spacious and elegant lobby.

I don't know if it was because of the cold weather, or because the heat of the show had dropped, the hall was filled with Eight Immortals tables, but only a few old people were sparsely watching the show.

"My little lady, where do you want to sit?" Xiao Er rushed up to meet her. Because of the small number of customers, it is particularly attentive.

"Second floor, Peach Blossom Room." Ye Tangcai said.

"Okay." Xiaoer smiled and led Ye Tangcai upstairs.

Going up to the second floor, following the back-shaped layout and turning a corner, you arrive at the Peach Blossom Room. There is no door, and there is only a large screen standing upright to block the scene in the private room. The painting of Yao Shao Shao.

When she walked into the private room, she saw Ye Lingjiao sitting on the couch with her back facing her, wearing a pink and peach flower embroidered jacket and skirt, with a smoked cage burning beside it, and A Pei standing in a corner.

"Sister-in-law." Ye Tangcai walked over and sat down beside her.

"Sister Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time." Ye Lingjiao turned her head, but saw that her original delicate appearance was tired, and her slightly round oval face became sharp. More like a bit.

"Sister, if you have anything on your mind, just tell me!" Ye Tangcai's eyes turned red.

During this period of time, she sent Ye Lingjiao many posts, but Ye Lingjiao replied that she didn't have to worry, she had her own affairs and thoughts. Ye Tangcai knew that she had ideas, so she could only respect her.

"You don't know what's on my mind?" Ye Lingjiao smiled on her pale face.

"Is it about my cousin?" Ye Tangcai said. "You've been thinking about him all this time, do you understand?"

Ye Lingjiao smiled lightly: "What do you want to understand? I have never understood anything about him."

"By the way, did he go to Saibei?" Ye Tangcai asked.

Ye Lingjiao shook her head and smiled coldly: "How could he be willing to go?"

Hearing this, Ye Tangcai couldn't help but frown anxiously. The last time Miao Ji told Cai that Ye Lingjiao was asked to postpone the wedding date in order to go to Saibei, but after that incident, Miao family said that since he wanted to go, he would follow his wishes and postpone the wedding date to New Year's Eve. back.

"Well, I've been looking for someone to watch him secretly during this time."

"What's the matter?" Ye Tangcai asked anxiously.

"Let's listen to the play, it's about to start." Ye Lingjiao looked at the stage below, with a slight sarcasm on her lips.

Not a moment later, "Crying Flowers and Hibiscus" started on time.

Ye Tangcai watched with a frown, and while watching, Ye Lingjiao said, "This play is also amazing. It was sung from the beginning to the end of the year. Although everyone said the play was good, it was being performed all day long. Anyone could watch it." Tired. Look at the spectators below..."

He pointed to the downstairs.

Ye Tangcai and Huiran looked down following her instructions, and saw that the guests at the tables below were not interested in watching the show, but were chatting.

"Everyone is tired of watching it. There are few customers. First, the weather is not warm. Second, who likes to watch this show all day long. But it still continues to play, and it is not on time every day." Ye Lingjiao said with eyes full of tears. It was full of sarcasm, "And our Mr. Miao also comes to cheer every day. It seems that this play is performed for him alone."

Ye Tang looked solemn.

"Later, I spent money to inquire, and learned from the second child that after September last year, I wanted to withdraw this drama and stop acting, but Mr. Miao spent a lot of money to give it to the host, so that it can continue to be performed here. And After performing for half a month, the guests all ran away, and the troupe owner didn't want to accept his money. No, he simply bought the whole theater building at a high price, just to continue performing this play." Ye Lingjiao said with a look in her eyes. Showing a dark sarcasm. "I didn't know until now that he is so rich."

Ye Tang took a deep breath: "What happened next?"

"Didn't he hear it very affectionately?" Ye Lingjiao sneered, "Later I found out that there was a beautiful girl behind the play. Mr. Miao would visit that girl secretly every few days. girl."

Ye Tangcai's face darkened: "He's really the same as Ye Chengde."

"That's right!" Ye Lingjiao's sarcasm deepened, "What is written in the play is his own story! He is the son of a family in the play, and that girl is the pillar of the dance hall. They are so affectionate, If you can't love, you have your own responsibilities and you can't be together. And I am his wife in the play."
