"My mother's house is nothing, but my aunt's house has been embarrassed." Ye Tangcai said, "my aunt's family is an imperial merchant. The wine sent to the palace actually told the problem. The wine vinegar doctor fainted after drinking it. Later, Xu Rui talked hard with me. Unexpectedly, he somehow colluded with someone to set a trap for my aunt's house and forced us to withdraw the case. "

The prince listened, his eyes flashing slightly, and the jade fan tapped the tiger's mouth.

The Crown Princess didn't know that the prince was making trouble behind, and didn't notice that something happened in the palace, so she tutted: "are there such people? What a coward. "

Ye Tang chuckled and hung his lips in a beautiful radian: "he has to be a little smart. If we don't withdraw the case, the whole Qiujia business will be destroyed. If we withdraw the case, because he colluded with good wine and vinegar, the doctor said that it was only after he ate other things and drank that he could overcome each other. In this way, the wine of the Qiu family would be overcome with some kind of food, and it would have to be returned. At that time, it will also lose the qualification of imperial merchants and suffer a great blow to its business. "

The prince picked his eyebrows, so he appreciated Xu Duan's cunning and wit.

"I don't quite understand the above. My cousin saw it." Ye Tangcai said, "my cousin also said that this man has a pit in his brain."

The prince frowned as he listened.

The princess thought it was very interesting, so she said, "why do you say that man has a hole in his brain?"

"My cousin said that Xu Rui thought he had a brain, but others didn't. The wine and vinegar doctor is just a wine and vinegar doctor. What he says is what he says? Moreover, since the wine and vinegar doctor can be so easily manipulated by others, he must not be tempted by money. For officials like the wine and vinegar doctor, they will more or less collect money from merchants, and they have many enemies, especially the Tang family who robbed them of the qualification of emperor merchants. So it's always right to check here, only to find someone who can help. "

"So I asked the royal highness of Xinyang, indeed, to find out. Therefore, Xu Rui is a little smart, but he is actually very stupid. "

The crown princess also nodded: "yes, yes, it's really too stupid and arrogant."

Prince Jun's face was a little stiff. It seemed that he was really stupid. But how clever he felt in front of him made him very stupid and appreciated such a person.

Ye Tangcai glanced at the prince's stiff expression, lowered his eyes and covered the smile in his eyes.

In fact, Xu Rui is really cunning and smart, but sometimes people are like this. When they don't know how smart and powerful they are, they will feel that it's just so.

The Crown Princess listened to her narration from beginning to end. At the beginning, she told her that Xu Rui was just like this, and the result was that Xu Rui lost. Therefore, in the crown princess's mind, Xu Rui was like that. So when she finished, the Crown Princess naturally felt that it was just so.

The Prince wanted to appreciate Xu Rui, but everyone else was stupid and the whole person was bad. After a few sips of tea, he was not interested and turned away.

Li Gui followed the prince all the way. Seeing that his wife was not in good mood, she frowned: "Your Highness, their views on women..."

The prince glanced at him coldly, and Li Gui's face was stiff.

The prince went straight to the study again. At the door of the study, he saw a twenty-five or six young man standing outside the door. This was song Xiao, his most trusted adviser.

"See your highness." Song Xiao saluted.

"Get up!" The prince waved his hand, thought about it, and looked at Song Xiao: "this palace asks you a question." As he spoke, he went into the study.

"Your Highness, please say." Song Xiao followed him.

The prince took his seat in the teacher's chair near the window: "you know about Xu Rui, too."

"Yes." Song Xiao nodded.

At that time, when Xu Rui asked for help, the prince didn't bother to see him. He met him. Xu Rui told him his difficulties, and then told him the plan to renovate the autumn family. Song Xiao conveyed it to the prince. The prince felt that Xu Rui was smart and met him in person.

The prince frowned, "do you think this Xu Rui is too stupid?"

Song Xiao's eyes flashed slightly. He felt that Xu Rui was too similar to his own style. He was unhappy to see the prince appreciate this person, but it was hard to speak ill of Xu Rui. He didn't have to appear narrow-minded.

Now listening to the prince's language with disgust, he immediately said, "it's too stupid."

The prince is not well. He doesn't want to continue this topic. He just said, "why do you come to our palace?"

Song Xiao arched his hand: "Your Highness, over there... Send a post again..."

Prince Jun's face sank suddenly and said coldly, "it's like dog skin cream. You can't shake it off! Disgusting stuff. "

As he spoke, he slapped his hand on one side of the tea table, which scared Li Gui to bow and dare not make a sound.

Song Xiao said, "Your Highness wants to..."

"Even this kind of thing needs our palace to think about. What's the use of it?" The prince remembered the past and gave him a cold glance at what he had said in front of song Xiao and others.

Song Xiao immediately bowed down.

After Song Xiao left, Li Gui waited on one side for a while. Taking the opportunity of pouring hot water for tea, Li Gui withdrew and found a little eunuch to let the prepared wild mountain ginseng be busy.

Yesterday, he was thinking about the prince soliciting Xu Rui. He was preparing to send ginseng to Tairui to cheer him up. Now, obviously, the crown prince doesn't want Xu Rui anymore, so what else do you give this ginseng.

After the prince left, the princess no longer wanted to see ye Tangcai's face. She drank a cup of tea and sent them back before noon.

……

One day before the Chinese New Year's day, all families are busy with the festival.

In the dome Mingxuan, there was an angry cry: "you thief cat, pull things around all day."

Qiuju chases the cat and wants to fight. Just because ye Tang's cat likes to pee at places and has a strange habit of hiding things, especially some shiny things, he tricked himself into hiding in various places.

Autumn orange is about to cry. Even if she hides something, she pees everywhere. She can't bear it. She has to clean it every day.

But instead of being angry, ye Tangcai was very happy and kept teasing it: "fun, come here!"

Then he sprinkled dried fish on the ground. Listening, the cat flew over and ate dried fish.

Qiuju and huiran looked at each other, and the whole person was bad: "other people's cats pee in one place, but it doesn't. No wonder everyone wants to beat it in Zhangjiakou. "

"Not really." Huiran said, looking at ye Tangcai: "why don't we close it for a few days, teach it well, and then let it out!"

"That's it!" Ye Tangcai didn't care, "if you can't take care of me, I'll invite someone again."

Qiuju and huiran took a swipe at the corners of their mouths: "we can“ But ye Tangcai has to raise it, and she can't.

"Well, good." Ye Tangcai smiled and turned back to the house.

Qiuju and huiran are busy in the yard, cleaning up the pit dug by the cat on the ground

"Autumn orange." At this time, the green leaf came in and said, "my wife asked my third grandmother to come over."

"Well, OK." Qiuju nodded and walked into the house: "girl, madam, let you pass."

Ye Tangcai put down his script and went out of the house with Qiuju.

When I came to Yixiang hospital, I saw Qin holding Chu Xuehai and talking to Jiang Xinxue, and aunt Fei sitting next.

Ye Tangcai frowned. In the past, aunt Bai was here with Qin. Today, aunt Fei is making trouble again?

"Mother." Ye Tangcai came in and saw the ceremony.

"Yes." Qin raised his head. "Tomorrow is the Zhongyuan Festival. Although we have rules here, our family is also human. Saburo's aunt is buried in... Er, not far away. Tomorrow, you and your husband will burn something."

He spoke with contempt in his eyes.

Aunt Fei tutted: "yes! My wife is right. Aunt Yun died early. What a pity. In terms of gauge, you are not her daughter-in-law, and you are from that background. But after giving birth to the third master, you can go and burn something with him. "

Ye Tangcai's eyes were cold. He nodded and promised, "yes."

"All right, get out!" Qin said.

Ye Tangcai and Qiu Ju went out of the house. When they stepped out of the gate of Yixiang courtyard, Qiu Ju sneered: "other families always have big rules, which makes the common son and his aunt clear, but the Chu family did the opposite. I mentioned it all day, especially aunt Fei. It's just to satirize the third master's aunt's origin. Today, she must have made it again. "

After saying this, I secretly rejoiced that my girl was not really married to the third master. Naturally, she would not be tired of the origin of the third master's aunt and be teased.

After that, he left and married a good girl with her beauty and innocence.

Back to the West Cross courtyard, instead of going back to qiongmingxuan, he went to LAN Zhuju. Chu yunpan was reading a book and raised his head when he saw her coming.

"Just now my mother called me over and said that tomorrow's Zhongyuan Festival, let's go and burn some paper for Aunt Yun." Ye Tangcai said.

"Then go." Chu yunpan said and put down the book.

"Did you go there every year before?" Ye Tangcai said.

"I haven't been there before." Chu yunpan said, "I'll go once a year on the day of death."

Ye Tangcai also figured it out. In the past, Qin and others were lazy to even talk to Chu yunpan. How could they remember to ask him to burn paper on the Zhongyuan Festival? He didn't start talking to her until he married her... To be exact, it was aimed at and finding fault.

"Are you going?" Chu yunpan suddenly looked at her.

"Go!" Ye Tangcai thought that when he was his wife one day, he had to go.

Chu yunpan was stunned and nodded.

Early the next morning, ye Tangcai went out with Chu yunpan.

Because she is a concubine, she can't enter the Chu family's ancestral grave, but generally, this concubine room will set up a place not far from the Chu family's ancestral grave to bury this famous concubine room.

Chu yunpan's aunt was not even buried there, but in a weed field on the outskirts of Beijing.

They stopped their carriage under a tree in the field.

Yu Yang and huiran waited under the tree. Ye Tangcai and Chu yunpan walked over with a basket of offerings and some clothes.

Now it is the time of desolation in autumn. Although there are many weeds, most of them wither and grow less than ankles.

Ye Tangcai followed Chu yunpan to approach. Ye Tangcai saw a small grave bag in the field, on which stood a small wooden monument, which simply wrote Yun's tomb.

Ye Tangcai put down the sacrifice, but he was stunned. There was a wreath under the wooden monument, which was made of very ordinary wild flowers, which can be seen everywhere on the roadside. Red, pink, yellow and white are woven into a simple wreath and placed on the grave bag.

Chu yunpan frowned slightly when he saw it, so he didn't care.

"Third Master, who put this?" Ye Tang picks a strange way.

"I don't know. When I come here every year on the death day, there will be such a thing here." Chu yunpan said lukewarm, "I didn't expect even the Zhongyuan Festival. Is there a Double Ninth Festival in Qingming Festival? "

Ye Tang took a smoke from the corner of his mouth. Seeing that he didn't care much, he said, "the third master doesn't like aunt Yun?" After asking, she felt that she was too abrupt to ask.

Chu yunpan was stunned and looked light: "she died before I was a year old. I have no impression of her. It's not like it or not. When I was young, when I was sad or crying, I thought if she hadn't died. It's nothing to think about now. "

Then he put the sacrifices in his hands one by one, and ye Tangcai quickly put on the incense.

When the couple burned paper money, they worshipped and walked back with a basket.

Ye Tangcai couldn't help but look back on the lonely graves and cheap wild flower wreaths in the past year. He couldn't help wondering who put them here.

But Chu yunpan was obviously not very interested.

Ye Tangcai thought of aunt Yun's origin. Based on Aunt Yun's communication before her death, it was either her peers or... Was it her former... Patron?

Thinking of this, ye Tangcai didn't want to think about it. No wonder Chu yunpan was not interested.

No one wants his mother's former benefactor to come and worship.
