Family Has a Concubine

At this time, Ape ran out thumpingly: Girl, my wife has woken up.

Ye Lingjiao glanced at Ye Yun coldly, Sister Tang, this person is useless, let's go!

Okay. Indeed, Ye Yun has been abolished! Ye Tangcai has already given up on him! Now that you have given up, there is no need to waste your words! Ye Tangcai didn't even look at him, and turned to leave with Ye Lingjiao.

You— Ye Yunzheng spoke with high spirits. He felt that he was hitting the point, but in the end, they left! But stop, he dare not stop!

Ye Tangcai and Ye Lingjiao returned to the room, only to see Mrs. Wen struggling to get up with Nanny Cai's body.

Mother! Ye Tang took a stride and rushed forward.

Let's go home! Wen's face turned pale, and he smiled miserably.

Okay, I'll ask the groom to bring the carriage over now, mother, you lie down first. Ye Tangcai agreed, Qiuju was smart and had already run out.

Wen shi lay back on the bed and closed his eyes again. After a while, there was the sound of a carriage driving into the courtyard. Nanny Cai carried Wen on her back and put them on the carriage.

After everyone was busy for a while, the carriage came out from the back door.

Ye Yun hid aside and watched them go away, feeling depressed and in pain. Why don't one or two understand him?

...

The carriage walked for a quarter of an hour and stopped outside the Chuihua Gate of Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Ye Lingjiao asked her servants to bring up a soft sedan chair, and sent Wen's family back to the Rongguiyuan. He took the sign and went to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor checked the pulse, said something similar to the doctor of the Baicao Medical Center, and read the medicine prescribed by the doctor of the Baicao Medical Center, reduced the longan in it, and let it be raised by two liang of blood swallows every day, and then went out.

On Babu's bed, heavy curtains hung down, Wen Shi lay on the bed with her eyes closed, but Ye Tangcai knew that she was not asleep.

Ye Tangcai sat by the bed, while Ye Lingjiao and Nanny Cai stood beside her.

Mother... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you go. Ye Tangcai's eyes turned red as she spoke, with tears in her big eyes.

No... Wen opened his eyes, and smiled with a pale face: Thank you, for letting me...see clearly, clearly, all these years, I have been thinking and guessing, so tired... Really tired! Now...don't have to guess his heart anymore.

As he spoke, he smiled wryly, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

Ma'am, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. From now on, we will live a clear life, huh? Nanny Cai said with tears in her eyes.

Hmm. Wen choked up again.

Seeing it clearly, seeing it clearly, my heart died, but my heart was still hurting, and I couldn't stop the tears. Everything can only be given to time.

Only then did Ye Tangcai let go of the boulder in his heart.

I came to Songhua Lane today, firstly to let her stupid brother see Yin Tingniang's true face, and secondly, to let her mother see Ye Chengde's true face.

Mother saw it clearly, but she was so angry that she vomited blood, which was too shocking and costly. Only then did Ye Tangcai wonder if she had done something wrong.

Now hearing Wen's words, Ye Tangcai finally felt relieved.

Sister Tang, don't worry, I'll be fine. Wen Qiang said with a smile, Today, I've been holding back the words in my heart for a long time, and finally said it. I will live a good life! Don't say anything else, just Because of this hatred, I must not die! If I die, isn’t it just to make room for the outer room? I will never let them get their way!”

Yes, Madam is right to think so. Nanny Cai agreed.

Sister-in-law will only treat him as dead from now on, and all of us will stand by your side. Ye Lingjiao said.

Ye Tangcai pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, she hoped that her mother could reconcile with Ye Chengde.

Ma'am, the medicine is ready. Nianqiao came in with a tray, on which was a bowl of black medicine.

Ye Tangcai supported Wen Shi and fed the medicine, Wen Shi closed his eyes and prepared to rest.

Miss, the old lady has something to ask you to come over. A little maid from Anning Hall came over.

Ye Lingjiao nodded, Sister-in-law, Sister Tang, I'm leaving first.

Okay. Ye Tangcai nodded.

After Ye Lingjiao left, Ye Tangcai asked Nianqiao to watch over Wen's, and she pulled Nanny Cai and said in a low voice, Mommy, come with me.

Nanny Cai and Ye Tangcai left the bedroom and came to the Xici Room.

Mommy, where is my mother's dowry list? Ye Tangcai asked in a low voice.

The dowry list? Nanny Cai frowned, Why did the girl suddenly ask this? The wife's dowry list was lost many years ago.

How could it be lost? Ye Tangcai was in a bad mood.

Many years ago, when the girl was just engaged, the wife wanted to prepare a dowry for the girl, so she went to the small warehouse to check things, but she couldn't find the dowry list. Without a list, naturally I couldn't count it. I had to make another record .”

But that's not the original one anymore. Ye Tangcai's face was livid, Is there anything missing?

There are too many, and there is no list. Who remembers everything. However, what I remember most is a scarlet flame blood jade bracelet. My wife was cold when she was young. This bracelet was collected by your grandmother for your wife at a large price. It has the effect of warming and protecting the body, and is very valuable. After the wife got married, she wore it all the time. When the girl was seven or eight years old, she almost broke the bracelet, so she was reluctant to wear it again, thinking of leaving it for you as a dowry. So this bracelet was locked back to the small storeroom. At that time, the dowry list was gone, but you still need to prepare your dowry, girl, so I went to look for the bracelet, but I couldn’t find it.”

Cai Momo said with resentment on her face: I don't know who paid a thousand dollars to touch here! Later, the small warehouse was replaced with a heavy and heavy iron general. By the way, girl, why do you ask the dowry list?

Ye Tangcai said: Didn't I love to play in the warehouse for a while when I was young?

Yes. Nanny Cai gave Ye Tang an angry look, I don't know how your little head is turning, my girl. Little girls like to chase butterflies and feed fish in the garden, but you prefer to count your wife's dowry in the storeroom.

Facts have proved that I was right when I was a child. Ye Tangcai smiled, No, I have written down a lot of things. A pair of Lujun eight-lens stringed vases, a white jade rabbit, both of them are mothers. dowry, but today, I saw it on Yin Tingniang’s shelf.”

You, what did you say? Cai Nanny exclaimed.

Hush! Ye Tangcai immediately covered her mouth, Hush, my mother is still resting.

Mother Cai was startled, and quickly turned around to look towards the bedroom, only to see Nianqiao's figure standing in the beaded curtain of the bedroom, not looking this way. Nanny Cai breathed a sigh of relief, then gritted her teeth again. That bastard, if you keep the outside room, you can keep the outside room, but he took his wife's things to fill that bitch!

The girl really sees clearly. Nanny Cai said anxiously.

See it clearly, it can't be wrong. Ye Tangcai nodded, How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Several things are the same as my mother's, but Ye Chengde bought the permanent residence.

Okay, okay! Nanny Cai gritted her teeth and said bitterly, Let's talk about such a shameless thing in front of the old lady and the old lady, and see how he defends himself!

The dowry is the private property of the woman's family. Since it is the husband, it cannot be taken randomly. If it is carefully compared, it can also be punished. But generally this kind of thing is considered a family matter, and no one else will make a fuss.

A cold light flashed across Ye Tangcai's eyes, and he said: We want to punish them, but we must have a dowry list, otherwise we will just open our mouths and say something is a mother, who will believe it?

Our dowry list is gone, but there are two copies of this item, one in the hands of the wife, and one in the mother's house. This is a list signed and printed by the two families when welcoming the bride, and it cannot be denied. Madam Cai said.

Since my grandfather's family has a copy, why didn't you find the list at my grandfather's house when you lost the list, so you can count things? Ye Tangcai was puzzled.

Of course I went. Your grandmother kept the dowry list, but when she went to find her, she was already paralyzed, lying on the bed and unable to move or even speak. Nanny Cai sighed slightly.

Ye Tangcai was worried, what a bad luck! I'd better go to my grandfather's house and ask!

Girl, nanny, you should eat something first! Qiu Ju walked in, holding a food box in her hand: It's past noon now.

I forgot I'm hungry, serve it quickly. Ye Tangcai hurriedly said. Let's go to Wen's house while it's still early.

Qiuju put the food on the round table in the small hall one by one, Ye Tangcai said: Qiuju and Mammy also sit down, let's eat together.

Madam Cai ouched: You have to prepare a gift when you go to your grandparents' house. You eat, and I will prepare something.

Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Mommy. Ye Tangcai said.

Ye Tangcai and Qiuju ate a few mouthfuls indiscriminately, and then Mammy Cai came back.

Nanny Cai brought back a can of tea leaves and a set of clothes with a dark blue swastika pattern: Your grandmother likes the big red robe the most, and this dress is made by my wife herself, and is about to be given to your grandmother! Now, girl Send it on behalf of your wife!

Okay. Ye Tangcai touched the dark blue swastika-pattern jacket in her hand, sighed slightly, and when she was free, she would also make clothes for her mother.

Of course, she also made things for Wen's, and what she did was wipe her forehead. But Wen's doesn't like wearing mop foreheads very much, and Ye Tangcai didn't want to force her to wear them, so she only made two and quit.

Mother Cai, please say hello to grandma for me, and I won't go there. Ye Tangcai said.

Okay. There is Sister Ling over there, and the old lady still cares about this? Cai Nanny said.

Ye Tangcai asked Nanny Cai to take good care of Wen's, and then went out with Qiuju with her things in her hands.

The carriage was staggering on the street, Ye Tangcai sighed slightly when thinking of her grandmother, since she got married, she hadn't seen her for a long time.

The Wen family can be regarded as a scholarly family in the capital, and they have been officials for several generations. The highest official was my grandfather. At that time, my grandfather was the Minister of the Household Department. Unfortunately, he retired ten years ago and passed away.

As soon as he passed away, the entire Wen family sank, and none of the descendants of the family could study. Today, my grandfather, who was studying abroad, devoted himself to the imperial court, and because of his sympathy for the former ministers, he gave Uncle Wen an extra job as a fifth-rank official. Someone from the Wen family has become an official, but it is not as good as before.

The two generations of the Wen family's direct line were all thin, and Ye Tangcai had only one uncle and two aunts.

The carriage walked for more than a quarter of an hour, and finally arrived at the east corner gate of Wen's house. Ye Tangcai handed over the sign and entered the door.

Ye Tang Caicai got off the car at the Chuihua Gate, and a maid called cousin, cousin.

At this time there was a giggle, Ye Tangcai raised his head to look, and saw a beautiful girl with orange and red apricot flowers and a collared skirt, it was Wen Lanya.

Sister Tang is here. Wen Lanya stepped forward with a smile, I'm in the house doing the calculations for this month's kitchen, and I don't want a woman to report, so I came here to welcome you.

Cousin. Ye Tangcai smiled and stepped forward, taking her arm.

Are you here to see grandma? Wen Lanya said.

Yes. The sisters said as they stepped across the threshold.

Seeing that this was the direction to Mrs. Wen's yard, Ye Tang said, Aren't we going to see my aunt?

My mother went out early in the morning. Leave her alone, let's go see grandma.

The two entered Yimen, turned left, walked for a while, and saw a courtyard with white walls and black tiles, with the words Yongfuyuan written on the plaque.

When the two stepped through the door, they saw an old woman in Xieyi who was in her fifties tending the flowers and plants beside her. When she saw the two of them, she ouched and greeted them: Isn't this Cousin girl? Long time no see, please hurry up. Please!

Look how happy Nanny Ping is. Wen Lanya burst out laughing, I just look at Sister Tang, and I don't even have me in my heart.

Go, go, you come three times a day, I'm tired of seeing you. Nanny Ping joked.

Nanny Ping looked up at Ye Tangcai, and saw that the somewhat arrogant cousin girl was as beautiful as before, with a unique beauty, but the long hair draped behind her was pulled back, adding a bit of mature charm, The wanton arrogance before marriage was missing.

Thinking of how Ye Tangcai's marriage ended like that, Nanny Ping was very sad, she just took Ye Tangcai's hand and smiled: Cousin girl, please, I haven't come for a long time, the old lady misses you.

Yeah. Ye Tangcai's eyes turned red. Her memory must have stayed in the time when she passed away in her previous life. Even in her previous life, she was trapped in the Zhang family for three or four years. Many people or things in her youth were far away from her. She goes away.

Since rebirth, she thought that there were too many things, and she didn't have time to take a good look at those who cared for her.

Nanny Ping opened the curtain, and Sister Ye Tang and Wen Lanya walked in.

There was a slight scent of jasmine in the room, because my grandmother was paralyzed, no matter how carefully Nurse Ping waited for the servants to take care of her, there would inevitably be a little smell, so opening the windows day and night would not help, so we could only smoke.

The three of them walked into the bedroom, only to see an old woman in her 60s or 70s lying on a recliner.

The old woman was fat and wrinkled. She was wearing a long black jacket with chrysanthemum patterns, and a black brocade and silver thread inlaid white jade forehead. She was tilting her mouth, and when she saw Ye Tangcai coming in, she excitedly yelled ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Grandmother. Ye Tangcai hurried forward.

Mrs. Wen nodded her head with difficulty and looked at her steadily.

Ye Tangcai said: I have a lot of things to do after I got married, but I forgot to come here. I went back to my mother's house today, and came here because of something, so I remembered that I really should call.

At this time, Qiuju got up and stepped forward, holding clothes and tea pots in her hands.

Ye Tangcai said: This is the clothes my mother made for my grandmother, and the big red robe that my grandmother loves most. I borrowed flowers to worship Buddha.

It's enough for the cousin girl to come. Nanny Ping took the clothes and the tea pot with a smile, and touched the clothes in her hand: My aunt is still as good as ever. The old lady wears her clothes most comfortably! She Do it often, and it's not too tiring. I'll tell your mother not to work too hard, so it won't hurt your eyes.

Yeah. Mrs. Wen nodded in agreement, then glanced at the chair beside her.

Mrs. Wen was paralyzed and stayed in the bedroom all the time, so naturally she couldn't entertain guests in the living room. People who came to visit her sat here, so there were several chairs or stools not far from Mrs. Wen.

Cousin girl, the old lady asked you to sit down. Nanny Ping said.

Ye Tangcai picked the one closest to Old Madam Wen and sat down. Nanny Ping was smiling. Many thought that the old lady was paralyzed, so they didn't want to sit close, even the eldest son. Well, both the eldest girl and the cousin girl are people who are willing to get close to the old lady.

Nanny Ping handed the jar of Dahongpao to the maid to make tea. Only then did he ask, How is Cousin doing recently?

Ye Tangcai knew that Nanny Ping was asking her about her married life, and felt that she was wronged, so she was worried. Looking back, I saw Mrs. Wen looking at her sadly, even my grandmother knew about it!

Very good! Ye Tangcai gently took old lady Wen's wrinkled hand, I'll bring him here to show my grandmother when I have time, he looks so handsome.

Wen Lanya bit an apple in her hand and creaked, obviously not believing it. It seems to be saying, you can just coax your grandmother, last time you didn't even want to bring back Ye Licai when she got married.

Nurse Ping, I came here today to ask something. Ye Tangcai said, It's been so many years, have you found my mother's dowry list?

Nanny Ping was startled, but remembered that her aunt's dowry list was lost! When the cousin was engaged, the aunt prepared a dowry for the cousin, and also found her own dowry list.

Nanny Ping said: Why did Cousin look for this again? I didn't find it many years ago. Didn't I re-record the dowry in the warehouse later?

Ye Tangcai couldn't explain that much, This is very important to me, please think about it again, Mother Ping.

When she said that, Nanny Ping and Wen Lanya would not be able to ask her why she wanted to come. Nanny Ping said: But... I really can't find it! It used to be placed in the mahogany box of the old lady. Many years ago, your mother asked her to look for it, but found that it was gone. Later, the whole Wen family was turned upside down. I don’t see it. It’s said to be looking for something, but it won’t come out when you look for it, and if you don’t look for it, it will come out by itself, but I haven’t seen a shadow in these years.”

Ye Tangcai looked disheartened, she looked at Old Madam Wen: Do you have any impression of grandma?

Hiss— Mrs. Wen only pronounced this syllable.

Grandma, what do you mean? Wen Lanya slightly frowned. Sis? Think? Four?

Ye Tangcai found that Mrs. Wen's finger on the armrest moved slightly, as if pointing to the window.

Ye Tangcai saw a pot of roses on the window sill, she hurried over, brought the roses over, and looked through them.

Seeing this, Nanny Ping quickly smiled and said, How could I find the list for this potted flower, I put it here a few days ago.

But Ye Tangcai found that Mrs. Wen's eyes fell on the rose in her hand, and she frowned: Then, what does grandma want to express? Hiss... flower? Rose? Missing flower? Thinking month? Thinking season? Name?

Mrs. Wen hummed.

The three of them were all startled, very pleasantly surprised, Wen Lanya said anxiously: Is it really a name? Sihua, Siyue or Siji? Who is it?

Auntie! Nurse Ping called out, My eldest aunt's boudoir name is Siyue.

Her great aunt? Ye Tangcai remembered.

In Wen's generation, there are three sisters, the eldest daughter Wen Siyue, the second daughter Wen Sixue, and the youngest daughter Wen Siyu. Wen Siyu is Wen's.

Back then, the Wen family was short of money for a while, so Wen Siyue, the eldest daughter, married the Qiu family of the emperor Shang, and the second daughter married the fourth son of Uncle Du Qi, and the youngest daughter married the Marquis of Jing'an. The son of the family.

But after so many years, whose life is the best?

Ye Tangcai is quite familiar with Second Aunt, because she was married in the capital, and she is often seen by visiting relatives every year, and her life is so-so.

As for the legendary aunt, Ye Tangcai really didn't have much impression. The Qiu family's family property was in Dingcheng, which was near the northwest, and it took more than a month to go back and forth, so they didn't come back once in several years.

Ye Tangcai remembered meeting her when she was seven or eight years old, but for one reason or another, she never went back to the capital these years. So not impressed.

Grandmother said that the dowry list is related to the eldest aunt? Wen Lanya said.

Old lady Wen nodded.

Ye Tangcai's eyes became brighter: Could it be in her hands?

Old lady Wen nodded again.

Ye Tang was overjoyed, then frowned again: Why was it taken away by her?

Isn't that right! Wen Yaya tilted her head and looked at Nanny Ping.

This... I don't know either. It's just that when I asked a few years ago, the old lady didn't give instructions like today. Nanny Ping also looked puzzled.

Let's leave this alone, let's write a letter and let auntie send it back! Wen Lanya said.

Ye Tangcai didn't know why her mother's dowry list was taken to her aunt, but now she wanted to get it back, so she had to do so. Thinking of the long journey and the two months it took to come here, Ye Tang became a little discouraged again.

Isn't there a flying pigeon to send a letter! Wen Lanya said with a smile: Use the official flying pigeon, give a few dozen taels of silver, and it will be delivered in a few days.

Ye Tangcai's eyes lit up, yes, and this!

However, even if the pigeons passed on by the pigeons are all trained by the government, they are rarely lost... But if... they are lost, then there will be no more. Ping Mama frowned.

Ye Tangcai said: If you can't get it in a few days, after Qiu Wei... then it shouldn't be of much use. Besides, I don't know if I'm here. Anyway, I'll ask first.

Let's write letters quickly, Xiaodong, bring your pen and ink. Wen Lanya ordered.

Xiaodong went to get the pen and ink, and put it on the table in a short while.

Ye Tangcai thought about it, and said hello first, and then wrote down that she wanted a dowry list, and asked her to look for it and send it back as soon as possible, it was urgent.

Ye Tangcai sealed the envelope, said a few words to Mrs. Wen, and told them to remember to come to Jing'an Hou Mansion to attend Miao's birthday banquet on the 25th, and then left.

While it was still dark, I came to the translation station of the government and spent more than 50 taels of silver to send out a batch of pigeons that were the best trained by the government.
