Family Has a Concubine

The father and son sat down in the study.

Ye Chengde said: "Father, I have passed the test now... Alas, originally, I thought that Rui'er would go back to school in a good way after high school, but now I don't pass..."

"If you don't win, you have to admit it! Can't it be delayed?" Ye Hewen said anxiously.

Ye Chengde said: "Aren't I here to discuss the matter of recognizing ancestors and returning to them?"

"It's time to discuss it." Ye Hewen thought that his grandson who was living outside would recognize him immediately, with a smile on his face.

Then he sighed slightly, although Xu Rui missed, but he is still young, high school is a matter of time. He has high hopes for this grandson.

Ye Hewen said, "Actually, I've thought about it a long time ago. The eighth day of March is a good day. At that time, let's call some important people in the family, hold a family meeting, and announce this important event. Then on March 25th Officially recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors and worship the ancestors."

Ye Hewen is Lord Hou, the person with the highest status in the family, so he himself is the patriarch.

"However, Rui'er is so outstanding, how can he be wronged to be a bastard." Ye Chengde said.

Ye Hewen frowned when he heard this: "That can't be helped. Could it be that we divorce Wen and marry Yin Tingniang? Isn't that too obvious? Others will definitely say that we are here for Rui Ruier is a famous concubine son, but Ruier's reputation will still be there if he divorces his first wife?"

"I have a perfect method." Ye Chengde said, and then he whispered his method in Ye Hewen's ear, "Everything is ready, as long as you agree."

Ye Hewen was shocked when he heard his method, this is indeed a good way, but... Ye Hewen frowned after thinking about it: "It's not right after all, the concubine should be the concubine, as long as people are promising, what does it matter? Look at that Chu Yunpan, isn't he a bastard?"

Ye Chengde's elegant face darkened slightly, how could he wrong Tingniang to be a concubine, how could he wrong her son to be a concubine? If he was willing to make do with it, he wouldn't delay until now!

He has planned for so long and worked so hard for so long, isn't it just to let Tingniang enter the door gracefully?

Ye Chengde sneered: "Father needn't say more, I know what you're thinking. It's just that the Chu family boy won the number one prize, and you're rare for them, and you don't dare to offend them."

Ye Hewen's old face flushed red, and he became angry from embarrassment: "You bastard... what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Couldn't it be?" Ye Chengde's face was full of anger, "Rui'er is just the first time he failed in the match, and my father has hated it so much. Sure enough, he didn't even care about his blood and relatives for the sake of fame and fortune."

"You, what are you talking about?" Ye Hewen was so angry that he was about to jump up, "Rui'er is my direct grandson, how can I abandon him for the sake of an outsider? No matter how good someone else is, it's not my own."

He sighed, and then said: "Now that side has won the first prize, in the future Rui'er will pass the exam and enter the officialdom, then they can help each other. If you insist on being recognized as a legitimate son, don't you hate to die over there? Let alone help , don’t suppress it and count as chanting Buddha.”

Ye Chengde chuckled: "Look at what dad said. Could it be that if Rui'er considers him a concubine, they can stop being monsters and let us go!"

Ye Hewen was stunned when he heard that.

Ye Chengde sneered and said: "Look now, let alone a concubine, they only think that Ruier is the child of Tingniang and her deceased husband, they are so jealous, and wish to be suppressed to death! Let me ask, if Ruier is of the blood of the Xu family, So what is it that hinders them? Why do you force people to a dead end?"

Ye Hewen was startled, and then pursed his lips.

"So, no matter what Rui'er's status is, as long as he recognizes his ancestor and returns to his clan, as long as he changes his surname to Ye, they will never let him go. So, what's the difference between a concubine and a concubine? Press them down to make it difficult for them to attack. Dad, don’t you think so?”

"That's a good statement." Ye Hewen felt reasonable: "But..."

"As for what father said about suppressing or supporting each other in the officialdom." Ye Chengde sneered, "Look at how the concubine of the Chu family turned around and became famous in one fell swoop? Not all of them have passed scientific examinations! The road we Rui'er will take in the future is also the same. Scientific examination, even if he is the number one scholar, he is just a newcomer to the officialdom, can he really turn the world upside down? Our Rui'er is also going to take the scientific examination, can he still play tricks behind?"

"The next Rui'er's grades are good, so he will naturally be appreciated by the emperor and be reused. If the Chu family boy is really insightful, he should help him well. Everyone supports each other. Even if he doesn't have that vision, Rui'er Er'er has recently come back to be his son. If he dares to be shameless and suppress him, how will others treat him? Narrow-minded! Then he can't even think about getting along in the officialdom. Let's make Rui'er his son, but we can let them Throwing rats."

The more Ye Hewen listened, the more reasonable he became.

"Now it is, Dad, are you willing or not?" Ye Chengde said.

"Whether you want it or not, whether you want it or not." Ye Hewen said anxiously: "I even dream of having such an outstanding grandson!"

Ye Hewen spoke the truth. He originally wanted to give Xu Rui the best, but now that the arrangements are in place and he doesn't have to worry about going to Chu Yunpan, he naturally wants to be recognized as his grandson!

Ye Chengde was overjoyed, and the father and son discussed for a long time before Ye Chengde left.

When we returned to Songhua Lane, it was already half past unitary hour.

The food was already set in the main hall of the permanent residence, but Yin Tingniang was sitting in the living room and sleeping, the lights were dim, casting a soft light on her little melon-seeded face.

Ye Chengde looked at her, then walked over and picked her up.

"Ah - what are you doing?" Yin Tingniang was startled by him and exclaimed.

"Hehe." Ye Chengde hugged her in a circle before putting it down, and then hugged her and sat on the couch.

"What's wrong with you? Are you smiling like a fool?" Yin Tingniang scolded with a smile.

"I've just discussed it with my father. On the eighth day of March, I will call the clansmen to hold a clan meeting, and Rui'er's identity will be announced at that time. On March 25th, I will officially recognize the patriarch." Then he gave all the details. One told her.

Yin Tingniang was both excited and surprised, and looked at him: "Chengde, you really intend to make me your legal wife and Ruier your son... What about Brother Yun? He is your biological son, if so... he It must be very sad."

Ye Chengde, however, looked affectionate: "For you, it's all worth it."

"You..." Yin Tingniang looked at him with red eyes.

"I know you love Rui'er, so how can I wrong the person you value?" Ye Chengde said.

"But..." Yin Tingniang said, with tears in her eyes, "I love Rui'er, he is my life just like you! Brother Yun...I love him too, but..."

"I understand." Ye Chengde shook her hand and nodded, "Ruier was born in your October pregnancy, so you naturally want to give him the best."

"Recognize Rui'er as the blood of the Ye family, the legitimate son of the Ye family... This will benefit my son, but it will make your son suffer a lot..." Yin Tingniang said with tears in her eyes: "So... but I actually agreed Such a thing, I... really selfish!"

"Yes, you are selfish!" Ye Chengde hugged her distressedly, "But you are also a great mother! May I ask, which mother does not do everything for her son? You are selfish and great, you are just an ordinary woman, ordinary mother. But I love you just like that! I love you alive, in flesh and blood."

She might be a little thoughtful, a little selfish, a little calculating, she might be jealous of him, and she might be a little bad, and she would be happy because of Wen's suffocation! But these, in his eyes, are all lovely.

"For you, I am willing to sacrifice everything." Ye Chengde said.

He was willing to love her with all he had, thinking that he was almost moved by himself.

For her, he is willing to sacrifice everything, any son, any family relationship, he can abandon it. In this world, I am afraid that there will never be another person like him, who has dedicated his life and everything to love.

Maybe people in the world can't understand it now, but this love is pure and great.

Thinking about it, even he felt that he was great and unique.

When future generations talk about the greatest love, maybe they will be mentioned. Just like Cowherd and Weaver Girl, it has been passed down through the ages.

"Ting Niang, I've already arranged everything, am I good?" Ye Chengde hugged her and buried his face in her shoulder to invite petting.

Yin Tingniang smiled: "Of course you are the most obedient."

Yin Tingniang was both complacent and proud of this man. May I ask, is there any woman in this world who can do this?

He is willing to do anything for her, even to kill his own children, to promote her son to the throne, and even hold her in the palm of his hand.

Why doesn't she marry such a man?

After getting her response, Ye Chengde was very happy, he didn't want anything. He gave her a heart, and she only needs to give him a heart.

...

Chu Yunpan wandered the streets outside and wandered around for a long time before returning home.

He was wearing a bright red number one scholar robe, and the golden flower black gauze cap had already been taken off, and he was holding it in his hand.

Uncle Chu deliberately asked someone to open the door, set up a fire plate, and let him in.

The corner of Chu Yunpan's mouth twitched, so he had to follow suit. Uncle Chu wanted to take him to sit in Yixiang Courtyard, but Chu Yunpan said he was tired and wanted to go back to rest.

Uncle Chu had no choice but to let him go.

Chu Yunpan went all the way to the west across the courtyard, only to meet many maids and women along the way. When I came here before, it was desolate, and I couldn't even see a ghost.

But now, along the way, all the beautiful maids came to salute him.

Yu Yang and Yu Han followed behind, with mocking expressions on their faces.

In the past, Xikuayuan was called an unlucky place, but now they are all rushing over, people, it is really realistic!

Back at Lanzhuju, I saw Ye Tangcai standing on tiptoe, wearing a water-red moon flower skirt, embroidered with golden begonia flower dark patterns on the skirt. She was holding small lanterns one by one in her hand, and she was about to hang them in front of his door.

Chu Yunpan smiled when he saw it: "What are you doing?"

"This is called the champion lamp." Ye Tangcai turned around, "If you win the champion, the room cannot be deserted."

Chu Yunpan gave a "hmm" and saw that she was not tall enough, so he picked up the small lantern in her hand and hung it on both sides of the door at once.

Ye Tangcai said: "It's the second day of March, when will Kang Wang and Xu Dashi come back?"

"It's coming soon! I heard that we have reached Chengzhou, and we can arrive before mid-March." Chu Yunpan said.

Ye Tangcai was a little disappointed, she was listless.

Seeing her disappointed little eyes, Chu Yunpan said, "I've been waiting for so long, so don't be in a hurry for a day or two! Anyway, I'm busy these days, and tomorrow is the Qionglin banquet. After the Qionglin banquet, there will be a congratulatory banquet at home." gone."

"Did the Qionglin Banquet family also attend?" Ye Tangcai didn't know much about this kind of banquet, anyway, the Jing'an Hou Mansion rarely attended this kind of banquet before.

Chu Yunpan nodded: "It's similar to an ordinary palace banquet, except that there are more Jinshi."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw Uncle Chu rushing over: "Sanlang, let's go, let's go to worship our ancestors together."

The corner of Chu Yunpan's mouth twitched, and he was abruptly dragged away by Chu Uncle.

Ye Tangcai returned to Qiongmingxuan, sat for a while, and suddenly saw Qiuju come in with a post: "Girl, the Zhang family sent a post, saying that Ye Licai gave birth."

Only then did Ye Tangcai remember that it was time for Ye Licai to give birth: "Will the baby be a son or a daughter?"

"He's a young master." Qiu Ju said reluctantly.

Ye Tangcai had expected that she would give birth to a son. In her previous life, she had won a boy in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, a year earlier in this life, she still got a man in one fell swoop.

"Prepare some gifts to send over!" Ye Tangcai had a miscarriage in her previous life and had never given birth seriously, so she didn't know what to give, but she always went to visit and give gifts.

"Won't Miss go and see for herself?" Hui Ran said.

Ye Tangcai sneered: "Let's not say I don't want to see her at all. Just follow the etiquette, and she will definitely think that I went to show off. I don't have to make a trip and complain. You just take the things and send them over. Can."

Anyway, it is not necessary to go to see it, just wait for the child to wash three and the full moon to pass.

Huiran went down to prepare brown sugar, eggs, and a bucket of rice, added a few sets of small clothes, and prepared some supplements, and then went to Zhang's house.

At this moment, the Zhang family is not at all happy about the birth of their great-grandson.

The atmosphere is very weird.

Ye Licai was lying on the bed, her head was covered with a bird's mouth and auspicious flower cotton to wipe her forehead, and Mrs. Sun was teasing with the child in her arms.

Ever since she learned that Chu Yunpan had won the number one prize, the Sun family really looked down on Ye Tangcai and Dafang's beauty, so she didn't want to go home. It happened that her daughter was born, so she stayed in the Zhang family under the pretext of taking care of her daughter.

Ye Licai's face was pale, and she was staring at the Suwen tent ceiling blankly.

This is not what she expected, the scene of the birth of the child!

Ever since she was pregnant, she has been full of hope, pinning all the glory on the child, and sincerely wishing all day long, that she must give birth to a big fat boy.

Now, finally got his wish, but there is no joy as imagined.

After the child was born, many family members came in to congratulate her, and Mrs. Meng also came over and hugged her grandson for a while.

But because a few Bo Yuan failed the rankings, and Chu Yunpan was the top student in high school, the joy of her son's birth was diluted.

Moreover, Zhang Boyuan, who is the husband and the father of the child, has never looked at her since she was carried into the delivery room until the child was born.

Thinking of this, she couldn't stop crying.

"Hey, you just gave birth, don't cry, or you will hurt yourself." Sun quickly advised her. "Bo Yuan is just too sad. Even if you hear...that nest of pride, don't you feel unhappy? Let alone him!"

As she said that, Sun felt resentment in her heart.

Ye Licai stared blankly, and suddenly said: "Grandmother and third aunt came here just now... After a while, is she going to mock me?"

When she gave birth, all the relatives and friends of the Zhang family sent people to notify her.

Those who are close or have time will come over to have a look, and those who are not free will send a servant over.

Thinking of Ye Tangcai's coming, Mrs. Sun's expression changed and she panicked.

"She will definitely show off in a while!" The more Ye Licai thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, wishing to run away from her. But she can't move, she can only lie here.

"Grandma, Huiran is here." Liu'er's voice sounded from outside.

After a while, I saw Huiran walking in carrying something: "Second Miss, Ann, I learned that Second Miss gave birth, and my daughter asked me to come and say hello."

Seeing that Ye Tangcai didn't come to mock her, and that Huiran was not unforgiving, Ye Licai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Huiran greeted a few words and left.

Ye Licai looked at the direction where Huiran disappeared, and the more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became, so she said angrily: "Hehe, now that her concubine Xianggong is in high school, she looks down on others! Today even grandma and aunt I came to visit in person, but she didn’t come. Even if I’m in high school, I’m just a poor Hanlin! Only when I gain power, I’m a villain, and I’m crazy! I don’t even think about it, my grandpa is still a third-rank official, Dali Temple Minister! Desperate what!"

"Isn't that right?" Mrs. Sun was jealous and resentful, thinking that they used to be beautiful, but now... no matter how much she thought about it, she felt aggrieved, so she scolded Ye Tangcai for her lack of etiquette and frivolity.
