Chapter 114

Chu Miaoshu listened to ye Tangcai making tea in the house. He was unhappy for a while, so he said, "is the little sister-in-law making tea for the crown prince and the king of Liang?"

"Also make tea for the princess." Ye Tangcai said lukewarm. After thinking about it, he took out the post of Liang Wang: "by the way, this is the post given by his highness Liang Wang."

"What?" Chu Miaoshu grabbed it and opened it quickly.

Seeing the above content, Chu Miaoshu's unhappiness immediately disappeared, and his heart was happy.

The carriage drove fast and finally returned to Dingguo Bo's house in about two quarters of an hour.

As soon as the car stopped, Chu Miaoshu jumped down in a hurry and ran to Yixiang hospital with his skirt.

"Mother, mother -" Chu Miaoshu shouted as he ran.

In the Yixiang courtyard, the Qin family was drinking tea. Aunt Bai sat down and talked with her.

Suddenly, Chu Miaoshu's crisp and cheerful voice sounded outside. Qin quickly put down the tea lamp: "finally come back."

"Yes! Listening to the big girl's voice, I'm in a good mood. " Aunt Bai smiled.

Since Chu Miaoshu went out, the Qin family waited anxiously at home for fear that ye Tangcai would deliberately embarrass Chu Miaoshu and trip Chu Miaoshu. After worrying for a long time, he suddenly heard Chu Miaoshu calling back. Listening to her voice, he seemed to smile. Qin was relieved.

"Mother!" Chu Miaoshu came in from outside while giggling.

"Sister Shu, you're back." Qin stood up and went to the bead curtain. Seeing Chu Miaoshu coming with a smile on her face, he took her hand and walked into the room. His mother and daughter sat down on the couch together, "what's the matter? Ah? "

"Mom, I saw his Highness the prince and his Highness the king of Liang in the prince's house." Chu Miaoshu said excitedly, and then took out a post with golden dragon dark pattern: "look, this is the post of his highness Liang Wang."

When Qin opened his post, Chu Miaoshu read: "tomorrow, July 7, the birthday banquet of King Liang's residence, please... Come."

"The banquet is blank?" Aunt Bai stretched out her neck and looked.

"I don't know what's going on. My sister-in-law gave me the post." Chu Miao wrote.

"What did she give you? Aren't you two making dried flowers for the crown princess? " Qin said.

"It was together." Chu Miaoshu said with a curl of his mouth, "when he came to the princess's house, he sat aside to wipe the flowers. Later, his royal highness came. After a while, the empress said that the flowers were almost wiped and asked people to dry them. Sister Qinse asked me to go out to dry the flowers with her, and my sister-in-law stayed in the house to make tea."

Hearing this, Qin's face turned black: "making tea is a good opportunity to contact noble people. If you make it well, you may be appreciated by your empress and crown prince. Ye Shi took all the good opportunities! "

Aunt Bai said with a smile, "that zither is the Maiden's maid. She asked the big girl to go. No wonder the third grandma."

Qin said coldly, "even if it was called by the maid, why didn't she say a word to let her go? She's been here several times. Since she's familiar, it's OK to take the initiative to mention it! It's obvious that she ordered sister Shu to do something unimportant. She took the opportunity to get close to noble people. "

Aunt Bai said perfunctorily, "yes, yes."

Then he drank tea with his eyelids hanging down and covered the ridicule in his eyes. If you follow others, you are already taking advantage of them. Why should they give you all the good opportunities?

"Don't be so stupid next time." Qin said.

Chu Miaoshu couldn't stop nodding. If she said anything about drying flowers next time, she would ask Ye Tang to pick them.

"Did she get this post because she made tea?" Qin said.

"How do I know?" Chu Miaoshu tilted his mouth, "I'm not there."

Thinking about it, he reached out to pick up this post and looked at it over and over. He was inexplicably better. I don't know how excited he was.

Qin Shi couldn't say how happy he was when he looked at this post. The Chu family hadn't received such a decent post for a long time and attended such a decent banquet.

……

Ye Tang picked up the car and went west across the courtyard. While talking to Qiuju, he walked back to qiongmingxuan.

The courtyard door of LAN Zhuju was open. Chu yunpan was reading in his small study, but he was absent-minded.

Suddenly he heard the voice of Ye Tangcai and Qiuju talking outside. He was relieved and took out a letter paper, which was sent by Liang Wang. His lips curled up and he put down the letter.

Ye Tangcai and Qiuju walked into qiongmingxuan and huiran hurriedly welcomed them out: "girl, you're back! It's so early today. "

"Yes, it's just noon." Ye Tangcai said as he walked in.

"My mother gave me rice last two times, but I don't have one today." Autumn orange said, rubbing his stomach, "I'm so hungry!"

The three of them had already entered the room. Ye Tangcai was askew on the arhat bed. Qiuju quickly rubbed ye Tangcai's feet: "girl, are your legs very sour?"

"Yes." Ye Tangcai nodded and knelt there for a long time. Naturally, it was hard.

"Girl, I'll go out and buy some food right away." Huiran saw that ye Tang was working hard, so he went to collect food.

"Don't be busy." Ye Tangcai was wilting. "Eat whatever you send at home. Fried shredded pork with cabbage is also good. It's clear and light."

"Yes, don't be busy. Hungry, make do with it." Autumn orange said.

Huiran promised. She was about to get dinner. When she walked out of the living room, she saw a mammy stepping into the courtyard door with a food box. It was mammy Qiao. Then he said with a smile, "I just said I was hungry. Mammy brought me dinner."

"Then eat." Ye Tangcai got up and went to the small dining room.

Mother Qiao came in and said with a smile, "third grandma, have dinner!"

Then open the food box and put the dishes on the table, including a steamed chicken with red dates and medlar, a braised pig's hoof, a steamed egg with meat sauce, a crisp green fried oil wheat dish, and a cup of stew.

Seeing these foods, Qiuju and huiran were stunned.

Autumn orange said, "mother Qiao, did you bring the dishes of Yixiang hospital here?"

Mother Qiao said, "er... It's almost the same. There suddenly said there was no rice. I don't know what else to eat. The kitchen was just empty... I brought it. Don't shout out, or you'll kill me. " Thinking in my heart, the third master took half a bucket of money and asked the kitchen to add food. Why hide it?

Autumn oranges are not rare. On weekdays, girls spend money to eat even better than this. But it's better to be greedy than to eat shredded pork with cabbage. He promised: "OK!"

"Eat. I'll clean it up later." Mother Qiao then turned and went out.

Ye Tangcai opened the stew cup and saw that it was a cup of chicken feet soup. Ye Tangcai smiled and took a sip. Maybe there were too many red dates and medlar. It was sweet in his mouth.

After dinner, ye Tangcai sat down. Qing'er's voice sounded outside: "girl, there's your letter."

Then he ran in. Ye Tangcai took the letter and was stunned: "this is from Dingcheng?"

"Dingcheng? Who is it? " Qiuju came over with tea and put it on the small table next to Yetang's bed.

"I remember!" Huiran suddenly said, "didn't we go to Wen's house to find his wife's dowry list last time? Mrs. Wen gave a hint, saying that it was at her aunt's place. The girl spent a full fifty Liang silver when she went to the translation station. The flying pigeon handed the book to Dingcheng and asked her aunt for her wife's dowry list. "

"Yes, yes." Qiuju remembered and nodded quickly.

Ye Tangcai has opened the letter. Qiuju and huiran both craned their necks and looked over.

Ye Tangcai looks very tangled.

"How's it going? Girl? Isn't the list there? " Huiran said.

"I didn't say no." Ye Tangcai frowned, then sighed slightly, "the letter was sent to Dingcheng, but it was the big cousin who received the letter. He said that his aunt went to Beijing with her cousins. He left Dingcheng in early June and said he should arrive in Beijing in early July. As for my mother's dowry list, he said he had never heard from his aunt and helped me find it, but he still couldn't find it. She said, "when my aunt comes to Beijing, let me ask her directly."

"Why is a dowry list so hanging?" Qiuju sighed slightly, and then seemed to think of something: "wait, my aunt took the girl's cousins to Beijing? How many sons does the aunt have? "

"My mother used to say with envy that my aunt gave birth to five sons at one go." Yetang mining road.

"Five?" Qiuju and huiran took a breath. It's terrible!

"But she... Quietly took away her wife's dowry list, and I don't know what she was thinking." Autumn orange is worried.

The aunt married Huang Shangqiu's family and lived in Dingcheng, Northwest China. Since she got married, she seems to have only returned to Beijing once ten years ago, and then never returned. Wen seldom talked about her, and he didn't know what kind of person he would be.

Huiran frowned: "don't worry about the sky. It's best to be busy with your work."

"Grandma." At this time, a sound came from the outer door, but it was green leaves.

"What can I do for you, madam?" Ye Tang picked his eyebrows. Generally speaking, if there is something bad on your mind, it will be green branches that call her, and green leaves that come over are usually unimportant little things.

Green leaf has come in and handed her a pink post: "here is a post sent to my wife. It's for my third grandmother. My wife asked me to send it to you."

Since the post of the crown princess came out, the Qin family has ordered that the west corner gate is not allowed to receive posts, so posts have to enter from the east corner gate. If they are sent to the west corner gate, they have to be handed over to her first.

Of course, her order is only valid for Xiaozong. If there is a post for ye Tangcai, what Qing'er can receive will naturally only be sent to ye Tangcai.

"Well, OK, thank you." Ye Tangcai nodded.

The green leaves have turned away.

Ye Tangcai is too familiar with this post. She often received it before she married. It's Zhang Manman's post.

"It's Miss Zhang Si." Huiran recognized it.

"Yes." Ye Tangcai opened it and saw only a few words inside. It said that he wanted to see her and asked her to go to Zhang's house.

"Let's not go. It's bad to watch." Autumn orange said.

Although she wanted to see ye Licai and his wife miserable because of Zhang Manman's defeat, Zhang Manman was really poor. Qiuju still read Zhang Manman's good words.

I'll go to Zhangjia and meet that pair of bitches. If I ridicule them, I'll indirectly hurt Zhang Manman. So Qiuju feels very bad.

"But Miss Zhang asked us to go. If we don't come, she will be more sad!" Huiran sighed slightly.

Ye Tangcai said, "go." It's time to go to Zhangjia. Take a look at Zhang Manman and bring the cat.

"When will you go?" Autumn orange said.

"Now." Ye Tangcai looked at the sky. It's not yet time. Go back and forth and come back before dinner.

Just now she was in a hurry to eat. She didn't even change her clothes. She still went to the prince's house. She didn't have to clean up and went out directly.

Sitting on the carriage, ye Tangcai yawned. She was sore all over and felt that her bones were going to be scattered.

After walking for more than two quarters of an hour, I finally came to the east gate of Zhangjia.

The gatekeeper was surprised to see ye Tangcai and others, and looked strange: "eh, this is not ye... Third grandma Chu, how can we come to our house?"

Yetangcai used to come to Zhangjia occasionally. She is beautiful. Who doesn't recognize her.

But the problem is, her relationship with Zhang Jia... Is endless! Isn't it embarrassing to come to Zhangjia?

Ye Tangcai took out the pink post: "sister Manman invited me to be a guest."

The boy recognized it and had to let it go.

Zhangjia is not a noble family. Its foundation is shallow. Zhangjia is not big, but its layout is elegant and fresh. It has a wonderful place.

Ye Tang walked to Zhang Manman's yard.

Xiaojing, Zhang Manman's servant girl, was sitting on the porch. Seeing ye Tangcai, she hurried out: "Ye Gu... Third grandma Chu, you're coming so soon."

"Yes." Ye Tangcai smiled faintly, holding a box of lotus seed milk cake from baiweizhai in his hand. This is Zhang Manman's favorite food.

"Sister Tang..." there was a sound of footsteps in the room, and Zhang Manman came out.

She was dressed in a light green thin tunic, with scattered hair and pale face. The original round face was so thin that it was almost out of phase.

Seeing ye Tangcai, Zhang Manman brightened his eyes and hurriedly came forward and took ye Tangcai's hand: "sister Tang... You must help me..."

Qiuju was stunned and frowned: "Miss Zhang, how can my girl help you?"

"Why not?" Zhang Manman said, tears falling down, "I see. I saw you enter the prince's house. Please help me send a letter to his highness... "

"What's the use of sending him a letter?" Ye Tang picks ink and eyebrows. It is expected that Zhang Manman is really unwilling, so he wandered around the prince's house and learned about her going to the prince's house.

Zhang Manman bit his lips hard. "Last time I met your highness in the empress's palace, your highness praised me for Huixin Lanzhi and said my word was good..."

Ye Tangcai said, "sister Manman, do you often get along with the crown prince?"

Zhang Manman's small face stiffened: "I saw it once in the Queen's palace..."

Ye Tang said, "Your Highness has only seen you once... Can you still have love for you?" It was said without any mercy.

Zhang Manman's small face was white without color.

"No, maybe he forgot what you look like, girl." Xiaojing frowned. Instead of helping Zhang Manman, she persuaded him: "you're really embarrassing grandma Chu. Now the root cause is not the prince, but something like this happened at home. You still let people send letters in. Do you want your honor? Maybe the crown prince will look down on you. "

Zhang Manman shook his body, then turned and rushed into the room, crying to death.

Ye Tangcai doesn't know how to feel for a moment. In fact, the root cause is the prince!

"Thank grandma Chu for coming to see me." Xiaojing Fu saluted, "don't worry about her now. It's not enough to look for life and death."

Ye Tangcai handed the cake to Xiaojing and said, "by the way, is Mrs. Zhang there? I'll go and greet her, too! "

Xiaojing said, "my wife just came to see the girl and went out. Third grandma doesn't have to see you. "

"Well... Please help sister Xiaojing."

"Three grannies have something to say."

"There's a one eyed cat in your old blessing head who cuts firewood... I love it very much and want to buy it." Ye Tangcai said.

"Er..." Xiaojing was stunned, and then smiled: "third grandma even knows that my family has a one eyed cat."

Ye Tang said, "when I came here before, I saw it once in a while."

Xiaojing frowned: "the thief cat is blind and likes to eat and hide things. It's ugly and annoying. Lao Futou likes it. Lao Futou is an old man who follows the old master when he is young. He loves to raise it. We can only let him raise it. But why does third grandma like this ugly cat? "

Of course, in order to complete the task. Ye Tangcai thought so, but he already thought of an excuse: "last year I came to play with your girl. The rhubarb dog barked at me in the concierge. The ugly cat was so fierce that he ran out and scared the dog away. Now my family also has a dog and barks outside my yard every day. My mother-in-law doesn't care... I'm afraid, so I want to find this cat. "

Xiaojing listened and looked sympathetically at ye Tangcai. As a concubine's daughter-in-law, even the dog bullied her!

"OK, third grandma, this way, please." Xiaojing said and led the way.

Ye Tangcai was happy and followed her out.

Qiuju and huiran look at each other behind Ye Tang. When did they have a dog at home? And run to the yard door and bark?

They know that ye Tangcai is just looking for an excuse to ask for a cat. Naturally, they won't dismantle ye Tangcai's platform. But why do girls want cats?

Several people turned around and finally came to the house of Lao Futou, who cut firewood.

Laofutou is an old man in his sixties, hunchbacked and with a white and yellow beard. Nevertheless, he was strong and was chopping firewood with an axe.

"Old blessing head." Xiaojing walks over and tells ye Tangcai about buying the cat.

Old Fu frowned and shook his head, "No."

Ye Tangcai came forward and said, "I know you can't bear it. It was left by grandma Fu. But the cat is often beaten by people in the house. Maybe one day there will be no more. "

Xiaojing was stunned. How did she know that the cat was left by laofutou's old wife? But at this moment, he didn't ask, and echoed ye Tangcai's words: "yes, the first one was bored. You might as well give grandma Chu a way to live."

Lao Fu thought about it and agreed.

He went into the house and took out the dried fish. Soon the ugly cat was led over. He caught it in a sack and said, "take it away!" Look reluctant.

"Uh... Thank you." Qiuju thought the cat was really ugly. Now it was put into a sack. Some dared not take it, but finally he took it in his hand.

"Huiran, take ten Liang silver." Ye Tangcai said.

"No!" Old Fu's head kept waving his hand“ Just treat it well. If you take it home and find it ugly and sneaky, send it back. "

"OK, I will treat it well." Ye Tangcai said with a smile and said to Xiaojing, "thank you, sister Xiaojing."

"You're welcome." Xiaojingdao.

"It's getting late. Let's go."

Xiaojing sent the man to the flower pendant gate and left.

Behind an apricot tree not far from the Chuihua gate, ye Licai looked at ye Tangcai with gloomy eyes and hated him, holding his handkerchief“ What is she doing here? Did you come to see my joke on purpose? "

"It should be... No! Otherwise, why didn't you find it? It must be just to see four girls. " Liu er said with some anxiety, "grandma, let's go back quickly. Xiaojing is coming this way."

Ye lichai's face changed. The reason why Zhang Manman lost the election was caused by their elopement. Ye lichai was naturally afraid of Zhang Manman's personal servant girl.

These days, she didn't even dare to go out. She learned that ye Tangcai came here. She was afraid that ye Tangcai would speak ill of her and make Zhang Jia hate her more. So she came out to have a look. She didn't have to suffer a dark loss.

"She must have spoken ill of me, but my mother-in-law went out and she didn't say it." Ye Licai's voice was cold.

"Grandma, let's bear it first." Liu er said, "when Uncle Qiuwei gets a good result next month, the family will be better. If you have another big fat boy next year, everything will pass. " Liu'er comforted.

Ye Licai touched the protruding belly. Yes, she had to bear it! After a while, she will still be the valuable grandmother of Zhangjia. She may be the first lady in the future! One day you'll make it! Ye Tangcai is still a concubine.

"Just now you secretly followed them to get the cat. What did you hear them say?" Ye lichai held her stomach and walked back carefully.

"Said that the Chu family had a dog and barked in front of her yard every day. She was so scared that she ran to our house to find an ugly cat to block it." Liu er said with a puff.

Ye lichai also smiled with luck and disaster, "even dogs bully her, tut tut. My mother is right. Making jokes is only temporary. Marrying a bastard is a lifetime of humiliation and suffering. "

Sure enough, she was right to elope! Even if you are wronged for a while, you can turn over soon. But ye Tangcai can't turn over all his life!

……

Qing'er drove the carriage across the street.

In the carriage, there were bursts of slightly shrill cat calls.

Qiuju looked at the sack that was struggling and moving, and her face was blue: "girl... Why should we get such an ugly cat home? The girl wants to have a cat. There are many outside. "

Ye Tang smiled: "it has its own wonderful use. You must not mistreat it! "

This cat is spiritual.

After the previous life ye Licai started, she didn't know how miserable she lived.

I used to dislike that the cat was ugly and blind. After I was in trouble, I felt that I was as blind as the cat. Otherwise, why didn't you see what happened between ye Licai and Zhang Boyuan at the beginning? You had to marry in and suffer.

She fed it twice, and the cat came to her every day with a small dried fish in its mouth.

Although she didn't eat the dried fish, it was the cat's heart.

And now the cat is of great use to her.
