Family Has a Concubine

Seeing Ye Tangcai's scornful smile hidden away, Xu Rui only felt extremely humiliated, and a wave of anger and arrogance hit his forehead.

If she were to succeed in this matter, Xu Rui would not be a man!

Thinking about this, Xu Rui rushed back.

Eternally staying in the city, Ye Chengde turned around in a hurry, watching Xu Rui come back, and he was startled: "Rui'er, why are you back? Don't you want to go to the master?"

"Father and mother are about to face the pain of prison, how can I go to the academy with peace of mind, how can I leave you behind!" As he said, tears burst into the hatred in his eyes.

Ye Chengde looked at Xu Rui's excitement and was very moved. He couldn't help but think of Ye Tang's picking it again, and he couldn't express the resentment in his heart.

Rui Er is not his own, but respects him like a real father, but the wicked daughter not only disrespects him, but also cheats him with outsiders! Sure enough, it was a rebellious girl, and he was right to despise her.

"I have received your thoughts, but it's useless for people to get angry and worry about getting angry. You should go back to the academy, you only need high school to make us vomit. , It’s just a few months in jail.” Ye Chengde said and patted Xu Rui’s shoulder, “For you, it’s worth it.”

"No! I won't agree!" Xu Rui said firmly.

He thought of Ye Tangcai's scornful smile. If she were to succeed, he would be as cheap as mud in her heart!

In the future, he is going to be selected as a jinshi, or even a champion, and he is going to be an official! Parental theft, this will be a stain. Moreover, if you study it carefully, you are afraid that it will affect his scientific research.

His mother was originally criticized when she was in the outer room. If he was charged with theft again...

"Your grandfather and I will work hard." Ye Chengde said.

"In this case, the Qiu family may not want to drag it anymore. Dad and grandfather still can't figure out a way." Xu Rui said.

Ye Chengde blamed himself: "It's all useless to me."

Xu Rui gritted his teeth: "I have a way!"

"What way?" Ye Chengde was startled.

Xu Rui whispered in Ye Chengde's ear. Ye Chengde was surprised when he heard it, and then he was overjoyed: "What you said is true?"

"Yeah." Xu Rui nodded firmly.

"Then let's go quickly."

As they said, the two hurried out the door.

…

When Ye Tangcai returned home, the sky darkened.

Ye Tangcai got off the car with Qiu's altar of foggy wine. When passing by Lanzhuju, he saw that the courtyard door was closed, and he knew that Chu Yun had gone out.

Ye Tangcai curled her lips and frowned displeasedly. She held him a jar of wine all the way, but he was not at home.

"Let's give it to the third master tomorrow!" Qiu Ju yawned as he said. The two days have been too tired.

Ye Tangcai looked down at the jar of wine in her hand. She held it so hard, she still hoped that he could drink it the first time.

After thinking about it, he put it in front of the gate of Lanzhuju, turned and left.

Qiuju was puzzled, and turned around to chase Ye Tangcai and left.

In the Qiongmingxuan, Huiran had prepared dinner early, so Ye Tangcai would eat the meal as soon as he got home, and immediately washed and went to sleep after the meal.

It was really too tiring these two days. She was not used to sleeping at Wen's house and fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.

In the dead of night, Chu Yunpan came back from the outside. He was carrying a lantern, and when he walked to the gate, he saw a jar beside the gate.

"San Ye, what is this?" Yuyang said.

"It should be wine." Yuhan said as he opened the door. He already smelled a faint fragrance of wine.

Chu Yunpan leaned down and picked up the jar. The door was opened. Chu Yunpan carried the wine into the room and placed it on the table in the small study near the window.

Yuhan and Yuyang have prepared water. It was cold water, and Chu Yunpan took cold baths all year round.

After finishing washing, Chu Yunpan returned to the small study room, opened the wine jar, and a scent of pure fragrance came to his nose.

He poured a cup, the mouth was sweet and cottony, the swallow was hot all the way, and the whole body was warm and comfortable.

The cold water bath is sober and calm, but a sip of wine makes people feel softened and sentimental.

Chu Yunpan drank all night at the window.

Ye Tangcai slept until dawn.

The weather in July is getting cooler and colder, and the autumn breeze is getting stronger.

Ye Tangcai hugged the silk-cotton quilt and rolled on the bed. She was still asleep, but she still got up, freshened up, and went out in a hurry.

Yesterday, Ye Yun ran to Wen's anger, and Ye Tangcai was very worried.

The Qiu family’s house in the capital is located in the east of the city, near the gate of Changming Street, which leads directly to the imperial palace. It is a standard four-entry house.

Ye Tangcai sent Wen and others here yesterday, so people below recognized her, and when they saw her, they reported in: "The girl is here."

Ye Tangcai walked into the hall with a smile, and saw that the four brothers of the Wen family and the Qiu family were there, not knowing what they were discussing.

"Sister Tang is here." Da Wen smiled and stood up. "Your mother is waiting for your grandmother for breakfast at the Xikuayuan. She is in good spirits, so don't worry."

Ye Tang Cai breathed a sigh of relief: "Auntie and cousins ​​are discussing here?"

Qiu Lang said, "Yamen hasn't come to inform us when the case will be heard."

"It must be the Ye Family who gave gifts to the Yamen to make them accommodating." Qiu Jing said, "If we don't call, they will drag."

Ye Tang was taken aback. This was pretty good. It would be miserable if they helped Ye Family collect the dirt and said there was no such thing.

But it is obvious that Cheng Fuyin is still an upright official, otherwise Ye Yun would not come here yesterday. Cheng Fuyin must be unwilling to help to force them to come.

Qiu Jing also thought of this level, and looked at the Great Wen: "Let's go and remind them now, so that they can try the case soon, so that there will be more nights and dreams."

Great Wen gritted her teeth fiercely. She actually wanted to use this to drive Yin Tingniang away, she didn't want to...

The more Wen thought about it, the more he hated it, and said coldly: "Then go and remind you."

"Okay." Qiu Jing agreed, and several of his younger brothers stood up and were about to go out.

"Madam, second master—" At this moment, an old mother rushed in, her face pale, "Someone is coming from the palace."

Da Wen and Qiu Jing were startled, in the palace? Is it from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

Just thinking about it, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a deep scarlet official uniform and a goatee walking in, behind him was a dozen guards.

Ye Tangcai looked at these people, and she was stunned. This person looked at a fourth-rank official, and actually came in with a group of guards.

"Who is the head of Huang Shangqiu's family?" the middle-aged man said.

"It's me." Qiu Jing stepped forward. The current head of the Qiu family is his eldest brother, but he is responsible for sending wine into the palace this time.

The goat-bearded middle-aged man gave Qiu Jing a cold glance, then waved his hand: "Take it away."

The guards behind him rushed forward and pressed Qiu Jing. Everyone was shocked. Da Wen was angrily: "What do you want to do?"

"Mother!" Qiu Jing hurriedly stopped, and turned around to give the middle-aged man with goat beard: "This adult, I don't know what Qiu has committed?"

"This officer is the minister of the criminal ministry. There is a problem with the wine that your Qiu family sent into the palace. After the liquor and vinegar healer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs paid for the liquor, he fell to the ground and the imperial doctor is still treating." The goatbeard middle-aged man said coldly. Say, "We suspect that you poisoned the wine."

"Why are we poisoning?" Da Wen said anxiously, "My lord, our wine is sent to the palace. Naturally, we have to go through layers of checks. How can we do such a stupid thing as poisoning?"

The Minister of Criminal Justice frowned and only said: "This lady, the case is still under investigation. We are only responsible for taking people. Take away!"

After speaking, let the guards press Qiu Jing and turn and leave.

"Jinger! Jinger..."

The Wen family was in a hurry, and went out chasing with the Qiu family brothers and Ye Tangcai. However, the guards pressed Qiu Jing into a carriage, and the Xingbu servants got into the official sedan and left.

"How could this happen!" Qiu Lang's face was pale, "Let's try and try these wines, be careful, it's impossible to make such a mistake."

Da Wen only felt that her eyes were black and her face was pale, Ye Tangcai hurriedly helped her: "Auntie..."

"Girl!" Qiuju called out suddenly and patted Ye Tangcai.

Ye Tang was taken aback, followed her gaze, and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy standing on the opposite street.

Wearing an elegant navy blue elegant gown, wearing a satin satin towel, a face can only say that the features are correct, not so handsome, but a bit delicate, rare is the elegant temperament, you can read poetry at a glance The student of the book.

Xu Rui! Ye Tang's face sank.

Xu Rui looked at Ye Tangcai’s bright face and became angry because of him. There was a flash of happiness in his eyes. He smiled and walked over to Ye Tangcai, "Big sister, I saw you on the street yesterday. Don't come down to say hello to me. So I came to see you specially today."

Great Wen saw the gentleman, handsome and elegant, but he smiled violently. Seeing Ye Tangcai's face, he knew that the visitor was unkind, frowned and said, "Who are you?"

"Madam, he is Xu Rui, the son of the outer room." Qiu Ju said with a black face.

The faces of the brothers of Great Wen and Qiu's changed, and Great Wen sneered: "So you are the oil bottle brought by the outer chamber."

Xu Rui listened to the three words dragging the oil bottle, her delicate face became more and more gloomy, but she smiled and looked at Ye Tangcai: "The big sister is so cruel, she actually joined with Mrs. Wen to pit dad in. In prison. But if you are not filial, you will be punished. If you don’t, your cousin will be admitted to the torture department immediately!"

"You did it?" Qiu Ju roared angrily.

Xu Rui raised her eyebrows, looked at Ye Tangcai, and admired her small face that was brighter because of her anger. This kind of beauty is really not enough. And her beauty at the moment was inspired by him, which made him more excited and proud.

He held his lips and said triumphantly: "If you don't care about family affection, no matter how ruthless the method is, it will only send my father and my mother to jail. It's a big deal to play a few boards and close them for a few months. It's good. To be small, it's negligence, and there is no need to do business. Going big is to poison the nobles in the palace. This is a serious crime for ransacking the house!"

"What do you want?" Qiu Ju panted with anger.

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" said the young man who followed Xu Rui. This young man was Ye Chengde's young man Fengchun. "Naturally, the theft case was dropped."

"Fart!" Great Wen said coldly, "Don't even think about it."

"Well, since the aunt is so resolute, let them go to jail, and your Qiu family will be full! However, I will still give you three days to think about it." After that, Xu Rui turned around.

As he walked forward, Xu Rui felt uncomfortable in his heart. This was the feeling of being aloof and holding the lives and deaths of others in his hands. Therefore, he has to keep climbing up to become a nobleman and a high official!

Speaking of it, because of the theft, it feels like a sledgehammer was used to kill a chicken.

However, in this way, it appears that he is capable, especially in front of her, he should be a great person!

After Xu Rui left, the Wen family and the Qiu family brothers still stood still.

"Mother, what should I do now?" Qiu Jue, the youngest, said worriedly.

"He really thought he was the emperor... I have done business for decades, and no big storms have gone through. Even if the problem is really detected, the big deal is the quality problem, how can there be such a serious copy of the whole family." Da Wen's face was dark and composed. Biting Road.

But even if you are dissatisfied with it, it will be an unprecedented blow to the family business!

"Auntie, I'm sorry." Ye Tangcai looked guilty.

But the great Wen's got more and more angry: "They don't think about it! You don't blame you for this, you don't have to apologize."

Ye Tang said: "In three days, I will think of a solution, but if it doesn't work, I will withdraw the case." After speaking, he gave a blessing and turned back to the house.

"Hey... Sister Tang!"

Great Wen followed her in, but Ye Tangcai only came to Chuhuamen, and got on her Qingfeng pony carriage: "Auntie, I'll go back and find a way. You take good care of my mother."

After speaking, Qinger threw the whip and the carriage drove out.

"Sister Tang -" Da Wen looked at the leaving carriage with a worried expression on her face, "What can be done with her little girl's family. Lang'er, you go to Uncle Long to find out what's going on in the palace."

Qiu's family also has some contacts in the city, but not many. After all, they are not merchants in the capital, but far away in Dingcheng.

Qiu Lang rode out with his two younger brothers as he listened.

…

Ye Tang Cai looked sullenly from the carriage, Qiu Ju shed tears in anxious manner, and said bitterly, "I finally caught a handle to rectify that sordid outer room. How could it be... God doesn't open my eyes."

Qiu Ju had already given up, and no matter what, he couldn't just watch the Qiu family cut in. After all, this was originally their business, and he couldn't catch up with others because of this.

"Girl, where are we going now?" Qiuju looked at Ye Tangcai worriedly.

"Go home." Ye Tang said lightly.

Qiu Ju said, didn't he mean to find a way? Could it be that the one who can't afford to lose that face and put it down will let the case be withdrawn after three days?

Thinking about it, I decided it was so, and sighed slightly.

The carriage walked for two quarters of an hour and entered the Suihua Gate of the Dingguo Mansion.

Ye Tangcai jumped out of the carriage and headed west across the garden. Qiuju was almost unable to catch up from behind: "Girl, wait for me!"

"Qiuju, you go to the kitchen and let you cook a custard back." Ye Tangcai said.

Qiu Ju agreed, and turned around to go to the kitchen.

Ye Tangcai went back to Xikuayuan and walked directly into Lanzhuju. Yuhan was burning the flowers. When she saw Ye Tangcai, he smiled: "Grandma San is back."

"Yeah!" Ye Tangcai ran to the window of the small study and lay there, without seeing Chu Yunpan: "Huh, where is the third master?" Without seeing Yuyang, he said, "Is the third master out?"

"No." Yuhan said, "I'm sleeping."

Ye Tang looked at the sky, "It's almost noon now, and I'm still asleep? Didn't I mean to prepare for the exam?"

Yuhan smiled faintly: "San Ye was ready early."

Ye Tangcai is even more speechless, is there anything prepared for scientific research? It's not that I'm planning to take a few clothes for a trip.

Ye Tangcai also carelessly went to the bedroom of the main house.

Chu Yunpan was lying on the bed, his face turned sideways, and his black hair spread on the pillow. As he approached, he could smell the faint fragrance of wine.

Ye Tangcai gently pushed him: "San Ye, San Ye."

Chu Yunpan woke up, only feeling a little dizzy, turned over, opened his eyes loosely, and saw the girl in front of him staring at herself with delicate brows, and couldn't help reaching out and touching her face.

Ye Tangcai was touched by him suddenly, her face became red when she got hot, and she pushed his hand away, "Well, what are you doing?"

Chu Yunpan was shocked and woke up. This was actually true. Sit up quickly: "Why are you here?" The voice was still sleepy and hoarse.

Ye Tang saw him in a white shirt with messy hair scattered behind him. His face was gorgeous, but his eyes were slightly smoked, with the laziness and haziness of just waking up, and there was a hint of flattery.

Ye Tangcai blushed, only then did he remember that he ran into a man's bedroom and watched him sleep! Very embarrassed and embarrassed, he quickly lowered his head: "Why are you drinking?"

"Didn't you get the wine?" Chu Yunpan snorted softly, "You left it at my door most of the night, didn't you tell me to drink it when I came back in the evening?"

Ye Tangcai is speechless, she really meant this...

"You came here to see my hangover?" Chu Yunpan said, clutching his forehead, and then smiled. "It's indeed a good drink. The hangover doesn't have a headache, only a little dizzy."

"I'm looking for you for this sake." Ye Tangcai said in a cold voice, "My former son and my aunt told Ye Chengde to the outside room, and they can be in prison immediately. I don't want to, that Xu Rui didn't know what method he used to cause problems with my cousin's wine. Now my cousin has been arrested by the Criminal Ministry."

Chu Yun raised his sword eyebrows, and the whole person woke up: "Heh, is this Xu Rui so powerful?"

Ye Tang Cai's face was cold, and she gritted her teeth: "Anyway, he did it."

"Your cousin is the emperor merchant, right? This time the wine is sent to the palace, and it is the Ministry of Internal Affairs who is in charge of this matter."

"Yeah." Ye Tangcai nodded, "I want to ask Liang Wang for help with this matter." But she didn't know how to contact him, let alone rushed to Liang Wang's Mansion. She still remembered that she had a mission.

"Let's see what's going on first." Chu Yunpan said that he stood up, walked to the desk next to the window, picked up the pen, and the ink on the inkstone on the side had already dried up.

Ye Tangcai came over quickly, picked up the ink, then poured water and polished the ink for him.

Chu Yunpan looked at her attentive appearance and wanted to laugh a little, so he sat down at the table and glanced at her, only to see that she was sharpened carefully, and after a while, the ink came out. He picked up the pen, moistened it with ink, and wrote a letter. After folding, I called Yuhan in and asked him to send it out.
