"Third grandma." Xiaoyue came in with a tangled look.
"What's up?" Ye Tangcai said.
"Well... Mammy Wang and dewdrops came to Beijing to pay New Year's greetings to you." Xiaoyue frowned deeply and looked embarrassed, "waiting at the flower gate."
Qingliu blackened his face: "what year do you worship? At the end of last year, when I went to Beijing to pay the land rent, didn't I already pay homage? "
In the big family, the land rent is collected twice a year. At the end of the year, when the managers of each village have finished their work, the master will give them a seat. It can be regarded as having a new year's dinner with the village leaders, paying New Year's greetings and giving new year's money in advance.
Generally, Zhuangtou doesn't come to Beijing for the new year, but keeps watch in Zhuangzi. Only those who are very close to the host and are very close to Beijing will come in to pay New Year's greetings.
And ye Tangcai's Chuang Tzu is also close to Beijing, but the year before last, Mammy Wang and dew did not go to Beijing.
Thinking, huiran and Qingliu's small faces sank.
Ye Tangcai smiled: "then please come in!"
Xiaoyue took a look at ye Tangcai and promised: "yes." Turn around and walk out of the house.
"Third grandma..." Qingliu said anxiously.
Ye Tang picked his lips and said, "I'm the master. Since they want to pay a new year's call, let them do it. If you have anything, tell them to their face. "
Huiran and Qingliu were stunned, and then nodded: "third grandma said yes."
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside. The Yingluo bead curtain outside was beaten up, and a mother and daughter came in. Mother Wang was dressed in dark gray Ivy patterned shoes and wore a black jade inlaid wipe on her head.
The most striking thing is the girl next to her. She is about 16 or 17 years old. She is dressed in a light cyan plain cotton padded jacket and a light green Juan yarn white flower skirt. She looks graceful and beautiful, but she only wears a light cyan piled yarn flower and a plain silver flat hairpin on the right side of her head. The whole person looks beautiful and harmless.
Ye Tangcai looked and smiled.
The dew was not dressed like this before.
Dewdrops like bright red and purple and bright colors. But now it's not normal, and it's too obvious to be careful and please.
When the dew touched ye Tangcai's eyes, her body trembled slightly, and quickly knelt down with mother Wang: "give the girl... No, it's grandma's New Year greeting."
Dew and autumn orange used to have some problems, but later Ye Tang became Mrs. Hou, and ye Tang didn't take a concubine. Dew and autumn orange suddenly shared a common hatred. I often write letters and come and go, but I feel sorry for each other.
Recently, Qiuju only gave her two letters. One was in the twelfth lunar month, saying that ye Tangcai finally agreed to let dew return to Beijing after the new year.
Dewdrop was overjoyed and didn't have time to prepare well. Yesterday, she received a second letter from Qiuju, saying that ye Tangcai was not going to take a concubine.
The dew was so anxious that she couldn't wait for Qiuju's letter, so she took her mother to Beijing to have a look at what was going on.
"Get up, don't be polite." Ye Tangcai put down his blue and white porcelain tea. "I didn't come to Beijing at the end of last year, and I didn't come to Beijing during the Spring Festival in previous years. Why did you come here this year? "
Dewdrop's face was stiff, but mammy Wang looked embarrassed.
Ye Tangcai embarrassed them for a while, so he didn't want to continue. He only said faintly: "dew and I are one year old, two months older, seventeen! It's time to match people, too. I remember there were some young boys in Chuang Tzu. Mammy Wang, if you see which is suitable, come and call me back. "
The dewdrop's face changed and her lips trembled slightly: "grandma... I, I... When grandma got married, my wife called us in the room and said..."
"Things have changed. I don't accept it." Ye Tang adopts the cold sound channel.
Dewdrop was dizzy: "but..."
"But what!" Before ye Tang could make a sound, Mammy Wang had already looked back and stared at her, "did grandma still write a guarantee to you? The master is the master. If you don't think it's suitable, you won't accept it. If you are really accepted, it is also to help grandma share her worries. Now grandma feels that you are not right about the current situation, so make another arrangement. Are you still hawing? "
The dew bit her lips hard.
Ye Tangcai looked at mammy Wang and sighed slightly. Fortunately, her mammy was still sensible, "Mammy, go back and choose. If the people in Chuang Tzu can't, come back to me again. There are many chuangs and properties in the Marquis house, and there are several young and promising managers. I'll ask someone to choose some for Mammy to see. "
"Thank you, grandma." Mother Wang quickly kowtowed and looked back at the dew.
Dewdrop's eyes were slightly red. She looked around ye Tangcai and saw huiran and Qingliu. Just outside, she saw Xiaoyue and Baishui. She said, "why don't you see autumn oranges?"
Ye Tangcai chuckled: "autumn orange is married."
Dewdrop's face is stiff and married? Even Qiuju married, then she... Thought, she was dizzy.
"It's hard for Mammy to come all the way, Qingliu. Ask the kitchen to prepare some hot soup and rice for Mammy." Ye Tangcai said.
"Yes." Qingliu looked back at them. "Mammy, dew, grandma gave me rice. Please come here."
The mother and daughter followed Qingliu out.
After dinner, the mother and daughter left Beijing in a pony car.
Dewdrop was crying in the carriage. Mammy Wang stared at her: "don't come. You still come. If grandma wanted to call you, Why drag it."
Dewdrop was still not angry: "it was agreed, although there was no guarantee, but..."
"But what?" Mother Wang said with a slight sigh, "in fact, I also want you to have this opportunity, but the master said no, then No. If we are slaves, we should be slaves. There really is a certain situation between other couples. I was brought by my wife from Wen's house. The servant girls who were with me at that time should have made a face for Xiaodie and Xiangyu, but ye Chengde didn't like them very much at that time. My wife matched them and made a face for Aunt Hua now. This kind of thing can't be absolute. I can only say that you don't have that life. "
Although dewdrop is unwilling, Qiuju has married out. That's the only way.
After the mother and daughter went back, mother Wang didn't stop for fear of dew, so she quickly found someone else for her.
Although I can't be an aunt, it's my own daughter. Naturally, I have to find it well. As ye Tangcai said, he wanted to find the steward of Chu yunpan Chuang Tzu, but finally he couldn't bear to let her marry away. He found a handsome and stable young man in his Chuang Tzu, and took back words from ye Tang.
Ye Tang collected enough eighty liang of silver to add a box to her, and sent her away.
The autumn orange, after Yu Yang stuffed it into the carriage that day, was sent to a toothed woman, who said she would sell it to someone as a concubine, regardless of who.
The toothed woman looked at the wasted hands and dumb autumn oranges, smacked her mouth twice, and could arrest anyone. She had to find a poor man.
So it was sold to a remote village in the southwest.
Although the village is poor, there is still a rich man. The owner is an ugly old man in his early 60s. Although he is ugly, he has a reputation as a child. There are dozens of mu of fertile fields in his family.
I want to buy a beautiful concubine, but this kind of beautiful girl is generally expensive. It costs more than ten Liang, or even tens of Liang. The old man can't bear it.
The last time I saw autumn orange, my eyes lit up. Although I was dumb and didn't have to do fine work, at least my face and body shape were good. This is the role of his buyer! So he spent two liang of silver to buy it home.
The old man's mother-in-law was so angry that she saw heaven and earth rubbing people.
These are later words. Ye Tang doesn't know the situation of autumn orange.
Autumn orange was still with her from her previous life to her death. She was reading this feeling in her heart. Originally, she wanted to give it to the boy of Chuang Tzu where mammy Wang was located, but Chu yunpan said to let him deal with it. She thought he was not at ease and wanted to marry Qiuju far away. I didn't think he had ruined everyone.
Chu yunpan did not say that he did not want ye Tangcai to suffer. Ye Tangcai didn't ask, so he didn't have to answer.
But after dewdrop's mother and daughter left, ye Tangcai waited for Chu yunpan to come home.
But he didn't come back at lunch, and there was no sign of her at dinner.
Ye Tang was worried and sat in front of the windowsill.
At this time, a figure hurried into the gate. Ye Tangcai was happy. He thought it was Chu yunpan. After a careful look, it turned out to be Xiao Yue. Ye Tangcai was a little disappointed.
Xiaoyue ran in and walked to ye Tangcai. Her face was not very good and she said, "third grandma..."
"What's the matter?" Ye Tangcai tilted his head.
"This..." Xiaoyue pursed her lips. "I don't know how... The third master seems to be detained by the Ministry of punishment."
Ye Tangcai was surprised: "what did you say?" He is the Marquis of Zhenxi. Who dares to detain him! Besides, why detain him? Did... He betray his rebellion with King liang?
Thinking, ye Tangcai felt dizzy.
"You bastard, look at you frightening the third grandma!" "The third master is the Marquis of the West town. How can something happen. First peacetime and chaos, and then catch the bandits. He is the great hero of Daqi. Third grandma, don't be afraid. It's just a nonsense heard by Xiao Yue. "
But ye Tangcai's face turned white and his body trembled.
No, if his conspiracy against King Liang is revealed... No amount of merit can be equal to the great crime of conspiracy!
