Husband and father in another world are responsible
Chapter 69 Reward
Mrs. Zhao has a son and a daughter. The eldest son is named Guo Lun. He is twenty-five years old this year. He is already a scholar. After three years of marriage, her husband's name is Xi You, who is from Fucheng and is also a classmate and friend of Guo Lun.
The two parents of Guo Ye and their elders are on good terms. Guo Lun, Guo Qiao and Ye Qinglan played together since they were young. Although he and Guo Qiao have always remembered him, they have never been able to see each other again.
Last night, they received Zhao's handwritten letter from the person Zhao sent to deliver the letter. In it, how the general Zhao and Ye Qinglan reunited in Baiyun Temple, and Ye Qinglan's current situation explained one by one, and Ye Qinglan would come in person the next day home visit.
Although it has been many years, the Guo Lun brothers and sisters still have not forgotten the old friendship. It was a surprise and a pleasant surprise to hear the news. They did not want to waste any more time, and immediately asked for leave. Still in the dark, he got into the carriage and drove back, and finally made it back before noon.
Before Guo Qiao entered the flower hall, he saw Ye Qinglan standing next to Mrs. Zhao in the door of the flower hall, and looked over with a smile. Although Ye Qinglan's appearance and stature had changed a lot after several years, she still looked Then he recognized it, and then his eyes were red for an instant, but with a happy smile from the heart, he quickly walked to Ye Qinglan's side, grabbed his arm, and said with a slight choke: "Brother Lan, is it really true?" It’s you! When I first saw Mother’s letter, I couldn’t believe it. You are so cruel. You haven’t seen us for so many years. I thought you would ignore us forever.”
"Sister Qiao," Ye Qinglan couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and said softly with a smile, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, don't be angry with me, okay?"
"Hmph, for the sake of showing up before the deadline, I forgive you." Guo Qiao said softly, she raised her chin, but she didn't let the tears flow out of her eyes.
Every year in the past, she would secretly look forward to Ye Qinglan's appearance in her heart. She thought that as long as he came this year, she would forgive him for avoiding him before. Unfortunately, she never said a word of forgiveness. Ye Qinglan still didn't show up during the Chinese New Year this year. She had already returned to Fucheng with the disappointment she was used to, but within a few days, she received a letter from her mother, and this forgiveness finally had the opportunity to say it today. .
"Brother Lan." The second person to speak was Guo Lun. He was tall and tall, and he was as good as Ji Chunshan, but his face was serious and unsmiling, and he looked more aggressive than the usual smiling Ji Chunshan. Although he only called Ye Qinglan, but just seeing him rushing all night long, one can tell that he has no less concern for Ye Qinglan than Guo Qiao.
"Brother Guo, I haven't seen you for many years. Is everything okay?" Ye Qinglan looked at Guo Lunduan's solemn but very kind face, and greeted with a smile.
Guo Lun didn't speak, just pursed the corners of his lips slightly, and nodded. Although his face was still expressionless, his facial features softened, and there was a slight warmth in his eyes looking at Ye Qinglan.
After Guo Qiao and Guo Lun had spoken to Ye Qinglan, Mrs. Zhao smiled and introduced Ye Qinglan, her son-in-law Xi You, Ji Chunshan, and Guo Lun, whom she didn't know at the scene, to each other.
Although Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan are husband and wife, Yu Guolun and his brother and sister are real outsiders. Guo Lun is fine, but Guo Qiao can't follow Ye Qinglan's name, but since she is married, he called her "Mrs. Xi."
Guo Qiao had already known about Ji Chunshan's existence from Zhao's letter. Now that he saw the real person, he couldn't help but look him up and down. Although it was okay to just look at the appearance, he thought that Ye Qinglan was because of such a person, so he gave up. She has a bright future, bears the reputation of being unfilial, and has avoided seeing them for several years. Although this is Ye Qinglan's own decision, she still has some anger in her heart. It's just for Ye Qinglan, she will not show the slightest bit, He also smiled and called, "Brother Ji."
Guo Lun's expression was still expressionless, following Zhao's introduction, he shifted his gaze to Ji Chunshan, staring at him with dark eyes for a few seconds, but he didn't say anything, just nodded, which made him feel confused. Ji Chunshan's heart beat a little.Although Ye Qinglan is not related by blood to the Guo family, but looking at their affectionate appearance, and Guo Lun and Guo Qiao's scrutinizing and probing eyes, it is a real natal family posture.
Ji Chunshan felt that he had a brother-in-law and sister-in-law inexplicably, and straightened his back even more.
"You're Xu'er, right? You're so cute. You look exactly like your father when you were a child." After Mrs. Zhao finished introducing her, Guo Qiao saw the little Ji Ningxu standing between Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan, and saw him at a glance. The delicate little face was similar to Ye Qinglan's when he was six or seven minutes old, and he immediately fell in love with him, so he bent down and touched his head, and then waved to the girl who was standing with the maid Xing'er, and the girl came from the side. He took out a boxy wooden box from the bag he was carrying and handed it to Guo Qiao.
After Guo Qiao took it, she opened it directly, and inside was a hand-sized, exquisitely carved and hollowed-out glazed ball. She took out the glazed ball and held it in her hand. The natural colored glass body suddenly resembled a blooming lotus flower, divided into several petals and opened, revealing a suspension braided with copper wire the thickness of a thumb inside.
"This is called a lotus glazed lantern. It's a new gadget in Fucheng. It can be placed in the shape of a lotus flower, or it can be made into a glazed ball and hung up. Put a candle in it and light it, and it will emit colorful light. It's beautiful at night. The most beautiful one, does Xu'er like it? Come on, take it, this is a gift from your aunt." Guo Qiao asked Ji Ningxu with a smile while holding the glazed lamp.
The first time I saw Ye Qinglan's child, I always gave him a gift. Mrs. Zhao said in a letter that she had given her a pair of jade gourds. It must be for studying, so I plan to give a good set of the Four Treasures of the Study. I don’t want her to prepare her things and go out. After seeing her eldest brother Guo Lun, she finds out that he also plans to give Ji Ningxu a set of the Four Treasures of the Study. .
Guo Qiao didn't want to compete with his elder brother, but it was too late to buy it before leaving the house, so he rummaged through his house, and found a lot of things that could be used as gifts, but he thought it was for Ye Qinglan's child, but She felt that none of them were suitable or good enough, and when she finally looked up, she suddenly saw the glazed lamp hanging by the bed.This thing has only been out in Fucheng for a few months, it is very popular, the price is not cheap, even she only has this one, but she felt that this glazed ball was the most suitable at a glance, so she bought it without hesitation Take it off, put it in a box and bring it here.
When Ji Ningxu opened the wooden box, he was attracted by the glazed ball inside, but when Guo Qiao told him to give it to him and asked him to take it, he looked up at Ye Qinglan first, and saw Ye Qinglan nodded, so he was careful. He stretched out both hands to take the glazed lantern, and said obediently, "Thank you, Auntie, Xu'er likes it very much."
"Xu'er is so good, and my aunt likes you very much." Ji Ningxu's soft childish voice made Guo Qiao's heart so soft that he couldn't help but gently pinch his fleshy cheek.
Guo Qiao gave Ji Ningxu a meeting gift, and the book boy who Guo Lun had ordered to fetch things from his room when he first entered the house also came with a large wooden box, which was a set that Guo Lun had given to Ji Ningxu. The top four treasures of the study.The box was a bit big and not light, so Ji Chunshan took it on his behalf.
After delivering the presents, people were still standing in the flower hall door, so Mrs. Zhao said to the crowd with a smile, "Okay, don't stand there, let's all sit down and talk." Walking away from the couch, it was only from the corner of my eye that I suddenly saw someone standing outside the flower hall.
She glanced subconsciously, but was surprised for a moment when she recognized the man, and then said with a smile: "When did Jin Ming come? Come in and sit down soon." She didn't hear anyone coming to report, and she didn't know anyone When did it come, she just saw it.
Hearing Zhao's voice, Ye Jinming withdrew his dim eyes from Ye Qinglan who was not looking at him, pulled his stiff cheeks, forced a smile, and said in a hoarse voice: "Auntie."
"Come in quickly, it just so happens that Brother Lan is here today, it's rare that the four of you can meet together and have a reunion dinner." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile. Guo Lun and Guo Qiao also played together, and although Ye's father is gone, because of Ye Qinglan's relationship, Ye Jinming, as the only contact between Ye Qinglan and the Guo family, is also a frequent visitor of the Guo family.
Zhao's gentle and still attitude made Ye Jinming, who had been in a panic ever since seeing Ye Qinglan, suddenly relax. He understood that Ye Qinglan hadn't told Zhao about the past, so he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Slightly relaxing his tense body, he stepped into the flower hall, but he showed a grateful smile to Ye Qinglan, and said: "Brother Lan, I have always told you that Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo are kind and tolerant. Kind elders, even though you were a bit willful back then, they still miss you, but you have always felt guilty, but now you have figured it out and let go of your knots, I can feel at ease."
At this time, Ye Qinglan had already put away the sincere smile he had when facing Guo Lun, Guo Qiao and the others. He had a flat expression, but he didn't say a word, and only glanced at Ye Jinming lightly with his eyes.
His indifferent and indifferent attitude couldn't be more obvious, and the Zhao family, Guo Lun, Guo Qiao brothers and sisters, Xi You and others who were present saw it in their eyes, and they all showed a little puzzled look.
Seeing this, Ye Jinming clenched his fists hanging from his sleeves again, and his fingertips pierced into the flesh, just as he was about to say something.Ji Chunshan took a step forward at this time, smiled slightly, looked at Ye Jinming and said, "It's really troublesome for the third cousin to take care of Qinglan for so many years. He is so affectionate and kind. I will definitely take care of Qinglan in the future. -answer-."
"Where, I'm Brother Lan's elder brother, so I should think about him. My brother-in-law is too far-fetched." Ye Jinming also replied with a smile. He could hear the implication of Ji Chunshan's words, but his heart became more and more suspicious , Is the person in front of him really the Ji Chunshan he knew?
Then Ji Chunshan continued: "How can you say that you should? Although the third cousin is an elder brother, he is only a cousin, not to mention there is a saying that brothers should settle accounts clearly, even brothers who are direct relatives want everything. Make it clear, so that neither party will be owed anything, and the relationship will be hurt. Therefore, if there is a favor, it must be repaid. As for the enmity, it must be repaid. The third cousin thinks that I Are you right?"
"My brother-in-law is right to have clear grievances and grievances." Ye Jinming forced a smile, fine beads of sweat had already oozed from his forehead, he could guess the expressions of other people around him without looking, but until now, he still didn't know I understand, but in just one year, why did Ji Chunshan change so much, and Ye Qinglan suddenly appeared in Guo's house, so that he was completely caught off guard.
Ji Chunshan smiled at him, said no more, turned and walked back to his seat, Qing Lan and Ji Ningxu were dragged by Mrs. Zhao, and they sat on the Arhat couch with Guo Qiao. Guo Lun and Xi You also looked for a Sitting down on the side seat, Ye Jinming had no choice but to sit on the seat next to Ji Chunshan's side, but he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
After talking for a while, it was already noon, and it was time to start the banquet. There was no need to move to another place, so I set up two tables in the flower hall, Zhao Shi, Guo Qiao and Ye Qinglan with Ji Ningxu at the table, and the others A table of several men.
Although the ancients paid attention to not talking when eating or sleeping, it was not absolute, just listening to the occasional laughter from Ye Qinglan's table.Ji Chunshan's table full of men seemed quieter than the one next door. Guo Lun didn't like to talk, and when people asked questions, he would only answer "yes" or "no", and there were no more than three answers each time. When writing, Ye Jinming just smiled and listened to what others said, and occasionally he said a few words when it involved himself, as if he was afraid of being caught by Ji Chunshan again, but Ji Chunshan was not at this time. I didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so I just chatted with Xi You, who was the only normal person at the table, while eating.
It took more than half an hour for this lunch to be over, and after sitting for another hour, it was evening, seeing that it was getting late, Ye Qinglan and Ji Chunshan were about to say goodbye and leave, but they didn't want Mrs. Zhao to let them have dinner .In any case, Guo Lun and Guo Qiao rushed back from Fucheng Leuye specially for Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan was so grateful that she left another dinner.
After dinner, it was already dark, but Ye Qinglan and the others had to leave no matter what. Zhao and Guo Qiao both had expressions of reluctance, but they also knew that Ye Qinglan's current identity was completely different from the past. It's the same, of course they can't live as they want, but now they know where Ye Qinglan lives, and Ye Qinglan no longer avoids them, but she can see them whenever she wants.
Ye Jinming and Ji Chunshan were sent to the door by Mrs. Zhao and others. Mrs. Zhao wanted to send a carriage to take them back, but Ye Qinglan said that it was just a walk to digest food, so that's all.
Watching the backs of Ji Chunshan and the others going away, Guo Qiao held Zhao's arm, but frowned and said, "Mother, brother Lan didn't seem to say a word to Ye San today, did he do something?" I'm sorry about Brother Lan? And look at that Ji Chunshan, the few words he said to Ye San, about repaying a favor, obviously have other meanings, do you know what's going on?"
She has been married and left home for several years. Although she would come back to visit every New Year's Eve, she didn't pay much attention to Ye Jinming because she didn't like it. She didn't want to see Ye Qinglan's attitude towards Ye Jinming today. It seemed that the two of them were unhappy, but In her heart, Ye Qinglan was more important, so she just felt that Ye Jinming had done something wrong to offend Ye Qinglan. Otherwise, Ye Qinglan, who had such a good temper, would not have been able to openly treat Ye Jinming indifferently in front of them.
"Well, I don't know. I just saw Brother Lan yesterday, and he didn't tell me anything." Mrs. Zhao could see it, but she was just as puzzled as Guo Qiao, and even more ignorant. clue.
Guo Lun didn't participate in the discussion between his mother and sister, but whispered a word to the bookboy beside him. After the bookboy responded, he followed the direction where Ji Chunshan and the others left.
After turning a corner, he was sure he would never see the gate of Guo's house again. Ye Jinming took two quick steps and got in front of Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan. Eyes full of gloom, staring at Ye Qinglan said: "Brother Lan, I advise you, it's best not to say anything you shouldn't say, you—"
Ye Jinming's threatening words were not finished, but Ji Chunshan said to Ye Qinglan: "There is a teahouse in front, you and Xu'er go sit for a while, I will find you soon."
Ye Qinglan glanced at Ye Jinming who was frowning in dissatisfaction when his words were interrupted, and knowing what Ji Chunshan must be going to do today, she nodded, and said worriedly: "I and Xu'er will wait for you in the teahouse, You, be careful."
"Don't worry, it's fine." Ji Chunshan said with a smile.
"I haven't finished talking, no one is allowed to leave!" Seeing that Ye Qinglan and Ji Chunshan, two people who had been trampled by him, dared to ignore him, Ye Jinming was immediately annoyed, and he stretched out his hand to stop Ye Qinglan.
But Ji Chunshan hooked his neck at once, and said with a smile: "What do you want to say, brother third? It happens that I also have something to say to you. Let's go, let's find a secluded place and talk about it." Said Seeing him give Ye Qinglan a reassuring look, he hooked Ye Jinming's neck, pulled his arm, and dragged him to a narrow and dark alley beside the road.
"Let go of me, what are you going to do? Come on..." Ji Chunshan shackled him with all his strength, and approached the alley step by step, Ye Jinming finally felt a little scared. He didn't forget Ji Chunshan What kind of bastard and rascal Chun Shan was, he immediately yelled for help, but after he uttered two words, Ji Chun Shan strangled his neck forcefully, and suddenly there was no sound, not to speak out, he was out of breath I can't come up.
No matter how scheming and vicious Ye Jin was, he was still just a weak scholar. Ji Chunshan, who was used to doing all kinds of physical work in the countryside, was tall and strong, dragging him around with ease, until he arrived at a dead end. the deepest part.
He was thrown to the ground by Ji Chunshan with a bang, and Ye Jinming, who was so suppressed that his lips were purple and rolled his eyes, didn't have time to howl for the pain coming from him, and he gasped for breath immediately, but he didn't forget to shrink back hard, seeing Ji Chunshan take another step He walked closer and was almost strangled to death. His face was full of fear, but he still said sternly: "Ahem, you, what are you doing? Ahem, let me tell you, I am, the son-in-law of Chief Secretary Liu of the county government office. , if you dare to do anything to me, I—"
Hearing the phrase 'what dare you do to me', Ji Chunshan felt a chill, and couldn't bear it any longer, raised his fist and punched Ye Jinming in the face, but it was the third time he 'punched' Ye Jinming's words.
Ye Jinming was directly knocked down to the ground, but this time he let out a scream. He covered his face and really couldn't stand up. The dull pain on his face was so severe that his body was twitching like never before. Begging for mercy: "Don't hit me, please, I'll give you money, ten taels is enough, 20 taels, 50 taels, I'll give you whatever you want, don't hit me any more."
Seeing Ye Jinming's face covered with blood and tears, his clothes messy and dirty, Ji Chunshan didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart, he just felt depressed and painful. It's such a coward, such a rotten person, but Ye Qinglan suffered. So much pain, so miserable.
The more he thought about it, the more angry Ji Chunshan was burning in his heart, and the more uncontrollable violence surged up. His face was tense, but he stopped listening to what Ye Jinming said, grabbed the collar and lifted him up, ruthlessly Said: "Don't you want to say? What are you talking about, how you gave Qinglan the Manluo grass back then, causing him to miss the college exam, or how you used me to ruin Qinglan's innocence and his life?" , eh? Tell me, tell me—"
As he said that, he punched Ye Jinming's face and body hard with his second, third, and fourth punches one after another.
When Ji Chunshan finally calmed down and stopped, Ye Jinming couldn't even hum. He closed his eyes tightly as if he was dead. Ji Chunshan sneered, but he stretched out his hand to cover Ye Jinming snout.
Ye Jinming was suffocated and had to open his eyes, full of panic and fear, struggling unceasingly, trying to take Ji Chunshan's hand away, but in vain.
Seeing that Ye Jinming's struggle was lessened and his eyes began to loosen, Ji Chunshan lowered his head slightly and said to him: "Ye Jinming, don't play tricks with me anymore, I won't kill you, but I will kill you when you die." I'll let you taste what it's like to live rather than die." After speaking, she took her hand away.
This time, Ye Jinming didn't even have the strength to take a deep breath. Ji Chunshan lifted him up again, patted his face, saw Ye Jinming's eyes slowly turned to him, and said: "You know where my home is, you Now that I know who I am, if I don’t want to be unable to take part in the scientific examination due to disfigurement or disability in the future, I should honestly return all the belongings of Qinglan’s parents.”
As if hearing something funny, Ye Jinming tugged at the corner of his red, swollen and oozing mouth, hissed: "...so it was because of this, hehe, I thought it was that bitch Ye Qinglan who made you fuck uh—"
Ji Chunshan squinted his eyes, grabbed Ye Jinming's neck, and said coldly, "It's because I said I wouldn't kill you, so you're not afraid, right? Are you still thinking about going back to find your old father-in-law Liu?" The master sued me, and it happened that I also wanted to meet Master Liu, and I happened to know a girl Ruan who lives in Yuhua Lane, but I really wanted him to know her too."
Ye Jinming suddenly shrank his pupils, and said with difficulty: "...how did you know, how did you know?"
"Know what? Do you know that she is your concubine, or do you know that she is pregnant with your child? Ye Jinming, if you want people to know you have to do nothing, since you have done it, someone will always know, just like how you did back then Caused Qinglan to lose her body to me..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Jinming was more excited than just hearing that Ji Chunshan knew the existence of his outer room, and eagerly retorted: "You have no evidence, no one will believe you, yes, you have no evidence, and you After so many years, no one will believe your words!"
Although Ye Jinming was beaten half to death, he still had some brains. What he said was the reason why Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan decided not to tell the truth. First, they had no evidence, and even if they went to the Yamen, there would be no results. Second, Just not many people believe them.After all, people who said they were married a few years ago, but a few years later said that they were forced to marry by their own family, but they couldn't produce any evidence. Not only would outsiders not believe it, but they would think of it. In the past, she even thought that Ye Qinglan did this for the sake of seizing the family property, so she had a bad impression of Ye Qinglan.
Seeing Ye Jinming's appearance that you can't help me, Ji Chunshan sneered and said, "You are right, we do not have physical evidence, and outsiders may not believe us, but who do you think the Guo family will believe? You, Or Qinglan?"
Ye Jinming stopped talking. Although he once thoroughly trampled Ye Qinglan into the mud, he found that no matter what he did or tried to please, the Guo family's attitude towards him would never be as close as it was to Ye Qinglan. Today, even though Ye Qinglan broke their hearts many years ago and hasn't seen them for many years, as soon as he appeared, Guo Lun and Guo Qiao rushed back regardless of the distance, just to see him quickly, so he understood very well. As long as Ye Qinglan speaks, no matter what he says, the Guo family will believe it, but he is still nothing.
After Ji Chunshan finished speaking, he stopped looking at Ye Jinming's disgusting look as if the whole world felt sorry for him, and threw Ye Jinming on the ground as soon as he let go, and finally said with disgust: "I will wait for you at home , better hurry up, I'm impatient." After finishing speaking, he left Ye Jinming alone, turned around and strode away.
Walking out of the alley to the street, Ji Chunshan raised his eyes and saw Ye Qinglan in the teahouse not far ahead, surrounded by soft and warm orange light surrounded by candlelight. They met Ji Chunshan's eyes from afar.
Ji Chunshan smiled slightly, his eyes were full of tenderness immediately, he walked to the door of the teahouse, Ye Qinglan had already paid the bill and waited here holding Ji Ningxu.
"Go back?" Ye Qinglan looked at Ji Chunshan and smiled at him.
"Well, go back." Ji Chunshan nodded, leaned over and picked up Ji Ningxu, holding Ye Qinglan with the other hand, and walked together to the small courtyard we rented.
After returning to the residence, Ye Qinglan gently and carefully cleaned Ji Chunshan's blood-stained right hand, then sprinkled the trauma medicine he brought, and wrapped it in a clean handkerchief before the two rested and fell asleep. .
The two parents of Guo Ye and their elders are on good terms. Guo Lun, Guo Qiao and Ye Qinglan played together since they were young. Although he and Guo Qiao have always remembered him, they have never been able to see each other again.
Last night, they received Zhao's handwritten letter from the person Zhao sent to deliver the letter. In it, how the general Zhao and Ye Qinglan reunited in Baiyun Temple, and Ye Qinglan's current situation explained one by one, and Ye Qinglan would come in person the next day home visit.
Although it has been many years, the Guo Lun brothers and sisters still have not forgotten the old friendship. It was a surprise and a pleasant surprise to hear the news. They did not want to waste any more time, and immediately asked for leave. Still in the dark, he got into the carriage and drove back, and finally made it back before noon.
Before Guo Qiao entered the flower hall, he saw Ye Qinglan standing next to Mrs. Zhao in the door of the flower hall, and looked over with a smile. Although Ye Qinglan's appearance and stature had changed a lot after several years, she still looked Then he recognized it, and then his eyes were red for an instant, but with a happy smile from the heart, he quickly walked to Ye Qinglan's side, grabbed his arm, and said with a slight choke: "Brother Lan, is it really true?" It’s you! When I first saw Mother’s letter, I couldn’t believe it. You are so cruel. You haven’t seen us for so many years. I thought you would ignore us forever.”
"Sister Qiao," Ye Qinglan couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and said softly with a smile, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, don't be angry with me, okay?"
"Hmph, for the sake of showing up before the deadline, I forgive you." Guo Qiao said softly, she raised her chin, but she didn't let the tears flow out of her eyes.
Every year in the past, she would secretly look forward to Ye Qinglan's appearance in her heart. She thought that as long as he came this year, she would forgive him for avoiding him before. Unfortunately, she never said a word of forgiveness. Ye Qinglan still didn't show up during the Chinese New Year this year. She had already returned to Fucheng with the disappointment she was used to, but within a few days, she received a letter from her mother, and this forgiveness finally had the opportunity to say it today. .
"Brother Lan." The second person to speak was Guo Lun. He was tall and tall, and he was as good as Ji Chunshan, but his face was serious and unsmiling, and he looked more aggressive than the usual smiling Ji Chunshan. Although he only called Ye Qinglan, but just seeing him rushing all night long, one can tell that he has no less concern for Ye Qinglan than Guo Qiao.
"Brother Guo, I haven't seen you for many years. Is everything okay?" Ye Qinglan looked at Guo Lunduan's solemn but very kind face, and greeted with a smile.
Guo Lun didn't speak, just pursed the corners of his lips slightly, and nodded. Although his face was still expressionless, his facial features softened, and there was a slight warmth in his eyes looking at Ye Qinglan.
After Guo Qiao and Guo Lun had spoken to Ye Qinglan, Mrs. Zhao smiled and introduced Ye Qinglan, her son-in-law Xi You, Ji Chunshan, and Guo Lun, whom she didn't know at the scene, to each other.
Although Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan are husband and wife, Yu Guolun and his brother and sister are real outsiders. Guo Lun is fine, but Guo Qiao can't follow Ye Qinglan's name, but since she is married, he called her "Mrs. Xi."
Guo Qiao had already known about Ji Chunshan's existence from Zhao's letter. Now that he saw the real person, he couldn't help but look him up and down. Although it was okay to just look at the appearance, he thought that Ye Qinglan was because of such a person, so he gave up. She has a bright future, bears the reputation of being unfilial, and has avoided seeing them for several years. Although this is Ye Qinglan's own decision, she still has some anger in her heart. It's just for Ye Qinglan, she will not show the slightest bit, He also smiled and called, "Brother Ji."
Guo Lun's expression was still expressionless, following Zhao's introduction, he shifted his gaze to Ji Chunshan, staring at him with dark eyes for a few seconds, but he didn't say anything, just nodded, which made him feel confused. Ji Chunshan's heart beat a little.Although Ye Qinglan is not related by blood to the Guo family, but looking at their affectionate appearance, and Guo Lun and Guo Qiao's scrutinizing and probing eyes, it is a real natal family posture.
Ji Chunshan felt that he had a brother-in-law and sister-in-law inexplicably, and straightened his back even more.
"You're Xu'er, right? You're so cute. You look exactly like your father when you were a child." After Mrs. Zhao finished introducing her, Guo Qiao saw the little Ji Ningxu standing between Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan, and saw him at a glance. The delicate little face was similar to Ye Qinglan's when he was six or seven minutes old, and he immediately fell in love with him, so he bent down and touched his head, and then waved to the girl who was standing with the maid Xing'er, and the girl came from the side. He took out a boxy wooden box from the bag he was carrying and handed it to Guo Qiao.
After Guo Qiao took it, she opened it directly, and inside was a hand-sized, exquisitely carved and hollowed-out glazed ball. She took out the glazed ball and held it in her hand. The natural colored glass body suddenly resembled a blooming lotus flower, divided into several petals and opened, revealing a suspension braided with copper wire the thickness of a thumb inside.
"This is called a lotus glazed lantern. It's a new gadget in Fucheng. It can be placed in the shape of a lotus flower, or it can be made into a glazed ball and hung up. Put a candle in it and light it, and it will emit colorful light. It's beautiful at night. The most beautiful one, does Xu'er like it? Come on, take it, this is a gift from your aunt." Guo Qiao asked Ji Ningxu with a smile while holding the glazed lamp.
The first time I saw Ye Qinglan's child, I always gave him a gift. Mrs. Zhao said in a letter that she had given her a pair of jade gourds. It must be for studying, so I plan to give a good set of the Four Treasures of the Study. I don’t want her to prepare her things and go out.

Guo Qiao didn't want to compete with his elder brother, but it was too late to buy it before leaving the house, so he rummaged through his house, and found a lot of things that could be used as gifts, but he thought it was for Ye Qinglan's child, but She felt that none of them were suitable or good enough, and when she finally looked up, she suddenly saw the glazed lamp hanging by the bed.This thing has only been out in Fucheng for a few months, it is very popular, the price is not cheap, even she only has this one, but she felt that this glazed ball was the most suitable at a glance, so she bought it without hesitation Take it off, put it in a box and bring it here.
When Ji Ningxu opened the wooden box, he was attracted by the glazed ball inside, but when Guo Qiao told him to give it to him and asked him to take it, he looked up at Ye Qinglan first, and saw Ye Qinglan nodded, so he was careful. He stretched out both hands to take the glazed lantern, and said obediently, "Thank you, Auntie, Xu'er likes it very much."
"Xu'er is so good, and my aunt likes you very much." Ji Ningxu's soft childish voice made Guo Qiao's heart so soft that he couldn't help but gently pinch his fleshy cheek.
Guo Qiao gave Ji Ningxu a meeting gift, and the book boy who Guo Lun had ordered to fetch things from his room when he first entered the house also came with a large wooden box, which was a set that Guo Lun had given to Ji Ningxu. The top four treasures of the study.The box was a bit big and not light, so Ji Chunshan took it on his behalf.
After delivering the presents, people were still standing in the flower hall door, so Mrs. Zhao said to the crowd with a smile, "Okay, don't stand there, let's all sit down and talk." Walking away from the couch, it was only from the corner of my eye that I suddenly saw someone standing outside the flower hall.
She glanced subconsciously, but was surprised for a moment when she recognized the man, and then said with a smile: "When did Jin Ming come? Come in and sit down soon." She didn't hear anyone coming to report, and she didn't know anyone When did it come, she just saw it.
Hearing Zhao's voice, Ye Jinming withdrew his dim eyes from Ye Qinglan who was not looking at him, pulled his stiff cheeks, forced a smile, and said in a hoarse voice: "Auntie."
"Come in quickly, it just so happens that Brother Lan is here today, it's rare that the four of you can meet together and have a reunion dinner." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile. Guo Lun and Guo Qiao also played together, and although Ye's father is gone, because of Ye Qinglan's relationship, Ye Jinming, as the only contact between Ye Qinglan and the Guo family, is also a frequent visitor of the Guo family.
Zhao's gentle and still attitude made Ye Jinming, who had been in a panic ever since seeing Ye Qinglan, suddenly relax. He understood that Ye Qinglan hadn't told Zhao about the past, so he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Slightly relaxing his tense body, he stepped into the flower hall, but he showed a grateful smile to Ye Qinglan, and said: "Brother Lan, I have always told you that Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo are kind and tolerant. Kind elders, even though you were a bit willful back then, they still miss you, but you have always felt guilty, but now you have figured it out and let go of your knots, I can feel at ease."
At this time, Ye Qinglan had already put away the sincere smile he had when facing Guo Lun, Guo Qiao and the others. He had a flat expression, but he didn't say a word, and only glanced at Ye Jinming lightly with his eyes.
His indifferent and indifferent attitude couldn't be more obvious, and the Zhao family, Guo Lun, Guo Qiao brothers and sisters, Xi You and others who were present saw it in their eyes, and they all showed a little puzzled look.
Seeing this, Ye Jinming clenched his fists hanging from his sleeves again, and his fingertips pierced into the flesh, just as he was about to say something.Ji Chunshan took a step forward at this time, smiled slightly, looked at Ye Jinming and said, "It's really troublesome for the third cousin to take care of Qinglan for so many years. He is so affectionate and kind. I will definitely take care of Qinglan in the future. -answer-."
"Where, I'm Brother Lan's elder brother, so I should think about him. My brother-in-law is too far-fetched." Ye Jinming also replied with a smile. He could hear the implication of Ji Chunshan's words, but his heart became more and more suspicious , Is the person in front of him really the Ji Chunshan he knew?
Then Ji Chunshan continued: "How can you say that you should? Although the third cousin is an elder brother, he is only a cousin, not to mention there is a saying that brothers should settle accounts clearly, even brothers who are direct relatives want everything. Make it clear, so that neither party will be owed anything, and the relationship will be hurt. Therefore, if there is a favor, it must be repaid. As for the enmity, it must be repaid. The third cousin thinks that I Are you right?"
"My brother-in-law is right to have clear grievances and grievances." Ye Jinming forced a smile, fine beads of sweat had already oozed from his forehead, he could guess the expressions of other people around him without looking, but until now, he still didn't know I understand, but in just one year, why did Ji Chunshan change so much, and Ye Qinglan suddenly appeared in Guo's house, so that he was completely caught off guard.
Ji Chunshan smiled at him, said no more, turned and walked back to his seat, Qing Lan and Ji Ningxu were dragged by Mrs. Zhao, and they sat on the Arhat couch with Guo Qiao. Guo Lun and Xi You also looked for a Sitting down on the side seat, Ye Jinming had no choice but to sit on the seat next to Ji Chunshan's side, but he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
After talking for a while, it was already noon, and it was time to start the banquet. There was no need to move to another place, so I set up two tables in the flower hall, Zhao Shi, Guo Qiao and Ye Qinglan with Ji Ningxu at the table, and the others A table of several men.
Although the ancients paid attention to not talking when eating or sleeping, it was not absolute, just listening to the occasional laughter from Ye Qinglan's table.Ji Chunshan's table full of men seemed quieter than the one next door. Guo Lun didn't like to talk, and when people asked questions, he would only answer "yes" or "no", and there were no more than three answers each time. When writing, Ye Jinming just smiled and listened to what others said, and occasionally he said a few words when it involved himself, as if he was afraid of being caught by Ji Chunshan again, but Ji Chunshan was not at this time. I didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so I just chatted with Xi You, who was the only normal person at the table, while eating.
It took more than half an hour for this lunch to be over, and after sitting for another hour, it was evening, seeing that it was getting late, Ye Qinglan and Ji Chunshan were about to say goodbye and leave, but they didn't want Mrs. Zhao to let them have dinner .In any case, Guo Lun and Guo Qiao rushed back from Fucheng Leuye specially for Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan was so grateful that she left another dinner.
After dinner, it was already dark, but Ye Qinglan and the others had to leave no matter what. Zhao and Guo Qiao both had expressions of reluctance, but they also knew that Ye Qinglan's current identity was completely different from the past. It's the same, of course they can't live as they want, but now they know where Ye Qinglan lives, and Ye Qinglan no longer avoids them, but she can see them whenever she wants.
Ye Jinming and Ji Chunshan were sent to the door by Mrs. Zhao and others. Mrs. Zhao wanted to send a carriage to take them back, but Ye Qinglan said that it was just a walk to digest food, so that's all.
Watching the backs of Ji Chunshan and the others going away, Guo Qiao held Zhao's arm, but frowned and said, "Mother, brother Lan didn't seem to say a word to Ye San today, did he do something?" I'm sorry about Brother Lan? And look at that Ji Chunshan, the few words he said to Ye San, about repaying a favor, obviously have other meanings, do you know what's going on?"
She has been married and left home for several years. Although she would come back to visit every New Year's Eve, she didn't pay much attention to Ye Jinming because she didn't like it. She didn't want to see Ye Qinglan's attitude towards Ye Jinming today. It seemed that the two of them were unhappy, but In her heart, Ye Qinglan was more important, so she just felt that Ye Jinming had done something wrong to offend Ye Qinglan. Otherwise, Ye Qinglan, who had such a good temper, would not have been able to openly treat Ye Jinming indifferently in front of them.
"Well, I don't know. I just saw Brother Lan yesterday, and he didn't tell me anything." Mrs. Zhao could see it, but she was just as puzzled as Guo Qiao, and even more ignorant. clue.
Guo Lun didn't participate in the discussion between his mother and sister, but whispered a word to the bookboy beside him. After the bookboy responded, he followed the direction where Ji Chunshan and the others left.
After turning a corner, he was sure he would never see the gate of Guo's house again. Ye Jinming took two quick steps and got in front of Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan. Eyes full of gloom, staring at Ye Qinglan said: "Brother Lan, I advise you, it's best not to say anything you shouldn't say, you—"
Ye Jinming's threatening words were not finished, but Ji Chunshan said to Ye Qinglan: "There is a teahouse in front, you and Xu'er go sit for a while, I will find you soon."
Ye Qinglan glanced at Ye Jinming who was frowning in dissatisfaction when his words were interrupted, and knowing what Ji Chunshan must be going to do today, she nodded, and said worriedly: "I and Xu'er will wait for you in the teahouse, You, be careful."
"Don't worry, it's fine." Ji Chunshan said with a smile.
"I haven't finished talking, no one is allowed to leave!" Seeing that Ye Qinglan and Ji Chunshan, two people who had been trampled by him, dared to ignore him, Ye Jinming was immediately annoyed, and he stretched out his hand to stop Ye Qinglan.
But Ji Chunshan hooked his neck at once, and said with a smile: "What do you want to say, brother third? It happens that I also have something to say to you. Let's go, let's find a secluded place and talk about it." Said Seeing him give Ye Qinglan a reassuring look, he hooked Ye Jinming's neck, pulled his arm, and dragged him to a narrow and dark alley beside the road.
"Let go of me, what are you going to do? Come on..." Ji Chunshan shackled him with all his strength, and approached the alley step by step, Ye Jinming finally felt a little scared. He didn't forget Ji Chunshan What kind of bastard and rascal Chun Shan was, he immediately yelled for help, but after he uttered two words, Ji Chun Shan strangled his neck forcefully, and suddenly there was no sound, not to speak out, he was out of breath I can't come up.
No matter how scheming and vicious Ye Jin was, he was still just a weak scholar. Ji Chunshan, who was used to doing all kinds of physical work in the countryside, was tall and strong, dragging him around with ease, until he arrived at a dead end. the deepest part.
He was thrown to the ground by Ji Chunshan with a bang, and Ye Jinming, who was so suppressed that his lips were purple and rolled his eyes, didn't have time to howl for the pain coming from him, and he gasped for breath immediately, but he didn't forget to shrink back hard, seeing Ji Chunshan take another step He walked closer and was almost strangled to death. His face was full of fear, but he still said sternly: "Ahem, you, what are you doing? Ahem, let me tell you, I am, the son-in-law of Chief Secretary Liu of the county government office. , if you dare to do anything to me, I—"
Hearing the phrase 'what dare you do to me', Ji Chunshan felt a chill, and couldn't bear it any longer, raised his fist and punched Ye Jinming in the face, but it was the third time he 'punched' Ye Jinming's words.
Ye Jinming was directly knocked down to the ground, but this time he let out a scream. He covered his face and really couldn't stand up. The dull pain on his face was so severe that his body was twitching like never before. Begging for mercy: "Don't hit me, please, I'll give you money, ten taels is enough, 20 taels, 50 taels, I'll give you whatever you want, don't hit me any more."
Seeing Ye Jinming's face covered with blood and tears, his clothes messy and dirty, Ji Chunshan didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart, he just felt depressed and painful. It's such a coward, such a rotten person, but Ye Qinglan suffered. So much pain, so miserable.
The more he thought about it, the more angry Ji Chunshan was burning in his heart, and the more uncontrollable violence surged up. His face was tense, but he stopped listening to what Ye Jinming said, grabbed the collar and lifted him up, ruthlessly Said: "Don't you want to say? What are you talking about, how you gave Qinglan the Manluo grass back then, causing him to miss the college exam, or how you used me to ruin Qinglan's innocence and his life?" , eh? Tell me, tell me—"
As he said that, he punched Ye Jinming's face and body hard with his second, third, and fourth punches one after another.
When Ji Chunshan finally calmed down and stopped, Ye Jinming couldn't even hum. He closed his eyes tightly as if he was dead. Ji Chunshan sneered, but he stretched out his hand to cover Ye Jinming snout.
Ye Jinming was suffocated and had to open his eyes, full of panic and fear, struggling unceasingly, trying to take Ji Chunshan's hand away, but in vain.
Seeing that Ye Jinming's struggle was lessened and his eyes began to loosen, Ji Chunshan lowered his head slightly and said to him: "Ye Jinming, don't play tricks with me anymore, I won't kill you, but I will kill you when you die." I'll let you taste what it's like to live rather than die." After speaking, she took her hand away.
This time, Ye Jinming didn't even have the strength to take a deep breath. Ji Chunshan lifted him up again, patted his face, saw Ye Jinming's eyes slowly turned to him, and said: "You know where my home is, you Now that I know who I am, if I don’t want to be unable to take part in the scientific examination due to disfigurement or disability in the future, I should honestly return all the belongings of Qinglan’s parents.”
As if hearing something funny, Ye Jinming tugged at the corner of his red, swollen and oozing mouth, hissed: "...so it was because of this, hehe, I thought it was that bitch Ye Qinglan who made you fuck uh—"
Ji Chunshan squinted his eyes, grabbed Ye Jinming's neck, and said coldly, "It's because I said I wouldn't kill you, so you're not afraid, right? Are you still thinking about going back to find your old father-in-law Liu?" The master sued me, and it happened that I also wanted to meet Master Liu, and I happened to know a girl Ruan who lives in Yuhua Lane, but I really wanted him to know her too."
Ye Jinming suddenly shrank his pupils, and said with difficulty: "...how did you know, how did you know?"
"Know what? Do you know that she is your concubine, or do you know that she is pregnant with your child? Ye Jinming, if you want people to know you have to do nothing, since you have done it, someone will always know, just like how you did back then Caused Qinglan to lose her body to me..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Jinming was more excited than just hearing that Ji Chunshan knew the existence of his outer room, and eagerly retorted: "You have no evidence, no one will believe you, yes, you have no evidence, and you After so many years, no one will believe your words!"
Although Ye Jinming was beaten half to death, he still had some brains. What he said was the reason why Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan decided not to tell the truth. First, they had no evidence, and even if they went to the Yamen, there would be no results. Second, Just not many people believe them.After all, people who said they were married a few years ago, but a few years later said that they were forced to marry by their own family, but they couldn't produce any evidence. Not only would outsiders not believe it, but they would think of it. In the past, she even thought that Ye Qinglan did this for the sake of seizing the family property, so she had a bad impression of Ye Qinglan.
Seeing Ye Jinming's appearance that you can't help me, Ji Chunshan sneered and said, "You are right, we do not have physical evidence, and outsiders may not believe us, but who do you think the Guo family will believe? You, Or Qinglan?"
Ye Jinming stopped talking. Although he once thoroughly trampled Ye Qinglan into the mud, he found that no matter what he did or tried to please, the Guo family's attitude towards him would never be as close as it was to Ye Qinglan. Today, even though Ye Qinglan broke their hearts many years ago and hasn't seen them for many years, as soon as he appeared, Guo Lun and Guo Qiao rushed back regardless of the distance, just to see him quickly, so he understood very well. As long as Ye Qinglan speaks, no matter what he says, the Guo family will believe it, but he is still nothing.
After Ji Chunshan finished speaking, he stopped looking at Ye Jinming's disgusting look as if the whole world felt sorry for him, and threw Ye Jinming on the ground as soon as he let go, and finally said with disgust: "I will wait for you at home , better hurry up, I'm impatient." After finishing speaking, he left Ye Jinming alone, turned around and strode away.
Walking out of the alley to the street, Ji Chunshan raised his eyes and saw Ye Qinglan in the teahouse not far ahead, surrounded by soft and warm orange light surrounded by candlelight. They met Ji Chunshan's eyes from afar.
Ji Chunshan smiled slightly, his eyes were full of tenderness immediately, he walked to the door of the teahouse, Ye Qinglan had already paid the bill and waited here holding Ji Ningxu.
"Go back?" Ye Qinglan looked at Ji Chunshan and smiled at him.
"Well, go back." Ji Chunshan nodded, leaned over and picked up Ji Ningxu, holding Ye Qinglan with the other hand, and walked together to the small courtyard we rented.
After returning to the residence, Ye Qinglan gently and carefully cleaned Ji Chunshan's blood-stained right hand, then sprinkled the trauma medicine he brought, and wrapped it in a clean handkerchief before the two rested and fell asleep. .
