Family Has a Concubine

Spring is good in April, but it is not the peak season for worshipping Buddha, and not many pilgrims come to the temple.

Outside the main hall, a cluster of green-skin bamboo was planted on the edge of the clearing near the mountain, bending out a faint green shade. The old monk held a stall there, no one cared, and was dozing off.

"Master." At this time, a group of noble ladies were walking forward, led by a noblewoman in their early forties and a beautiful girl in fifteen or sixteen years old. It was the Qin family and Chu Miaoshu.

When the old monk heard the sound, he opened his eyes: "Amitabha, I don't know what the donors are asking for?"

While talking, he pushed his small box of sesame oil from behind to Qin's face.

Ye Tang twitched the corner of her mouth.

Qin looked at him, but the whole person was not good, and looked back at Lvzhi.

Luzhi quickly touched two five-point silver pancakes, clinked twice, and threw them into the small box of sesame oil.

"How many donors, don't know what to ask for?" the old monk said.

"Master, please show the little girl the marriage relationship." As Qin said, he pressed Chu Miaoshu onto a stool in front of the old monk's desk, and wrote Chu Miaoshu's birth date on the red paper on the table and handed it over. .

The old monk took a look, looked at Chu Miaoshu, and said: "Marriage, naturally there is. There are many people asking for marriage, and there are some that should be good, you don't want it."

Hearing these words, Qin's face became stiff. There were indeed many, but those family members were so ordinary, how could it be possible to marry someone like that. Moreover, how did she feel that this monk did not look like an eminent monk at all, but rather like those disgusting old matchmakers?

You won't be deceived, will you? Thinking about it, she glanced at Aunt Bai.

Aunt Bai's face was stiff, and her expression was sorrowful: "The master said that there are many choices, which is a good thing."

"I want to ask, can I have an expensive son-in-law?" Qin said.

"Good son-in-law is fine, why your son-in-law?" the old monk said. "Just enough."

Qin's face turned dark, Ye Tangcai wanted to laugh as she listened. Aunt Fei even snorted: "Ma'am, is this a big girl who can't get married?"

Chu Miaoshu's face was blue, and he stood up suddenly: "You old monk, you can't get to the point. A master is a liar."

After speaking with a cold snort, he walked along the stone steps.

Qin's heart was cold, and he left with Lvzhi.

Aunt Fei excitedly stepped forward: "The master is too accurate. I also help my Erlang calculate the future and marriage." She took out a small silver and stuffed it into the small sesame oil tank.

Leaning down at the table while speaking, he wrote the eight characters of Chu Congke's birthday. The old monk looked at Chu Congke, and only said one sentence: "Live well and make others happy."

"What do you mean?" Aunt Fei frowned.

"It means literally." The old monk said.

"there is none left?"

"there is none left."

"Old **** stick!" Aunt Fei said, she picked up the sesame oil box and reached into the sesame oil box.

"You! You! You!" The old monk was furious and reached out to grab her, but he didn't win her.

Aunt Fei finally pulled out the piece of silver she had thrown in, and then followed Qin's figure down the long steps.

"Master, that's too accurate." Qiuju stepped forward excitedly, took out a small silver ingot, jingled it, and threw it into the sesame oil compartment, and then pulled Ye Tang to pick it forward: "Also count one for my girl."

The old monk only glanced at Ye Tangcai, his old eyes were startled, and then he picked up his small box, and only dropped a sentence: "This old monk dare not criticize, he has harmed others and himself." He ran away while talking.

Ye Tangcai was speechless for a moment looking at his figure running away with silver guards.

"This... must be a liar." Qiu Ju's face was pale with anger, "I invested a full silver or two."

"Deduct from your monthly money." Ye Tang gave her a white glance.

Qiuju's face collapsed and his eyes were full of tears: "Girl..."

Ye Tangcai gently shook the translucent palace fan and went down the mountain.

After going down the mountain, the carriage of Qin and the two aunts left long ago. Ye Tang picked up her Qingfeng little carriage and went home after half an hour.

Walking into the Qiongmingxuan, Huiran greeted her: "Girl, Xiaoqing next to the old lady is here."

"Oh." Ye Tang stunned, walked into the room, and saw a maid in a double-ringed bun sitting at the round table in the small hall. "Does the old lady want to send a message?"

"Grandma Auntie." Xiaoqing stood up and saluted, "It's been almost a month since the last full moon banquet for my second aunt's grandmother. Is the old lady asking grandmother aunt for help?"

Ye Tang was taken aback, and smiled: "I already have eyebrows, and I'm working hard to observe it." She thought of Chen Zhiheng's side and felt that it was not easy, so she didn't dare to reply.

Xiao Qing frowned, "Then, I'll go back."

"it is good."

After Xiao Qing left Qiong Mingxuan, she returned to Ye's house in a carriage.

Back in the Anning Hall, Miao and Luo were sitting on the couch, waiting there. Xiaoqing hurriedly stepped forward to see her: "Old lady."

"How is it?" Miao asked urgently.

"Auntie's grandmother said, she's looking for it." Xiao Qing's face was a little bad.

Miao and Roche were disappointed when they heard it. At this time, a laughter sounded outside: "This is perfunctory!"

But it was Sun who came in, took a seat on the chair spontaneously, and said with a smile: "Our sister Li got a job anyway and started to work, but now, grandma and aunt... are immobile people! And, My mother doesn't look at it, what reputation does Sister Ling have now? If Changxing Houfu wants her, she will be content!"

Miao's face darkened: "Okay, you don't need to worry about Sister Ling's marriage."

Sun sneered, and then went out.

Luo Shi sighed slightly: "No wonder Sister Tang, Sister Ling is indeed too difficult now. Or, look for it again in a year or two."

"It's impossible to find another one or two years later." Miao Shi shook his head, "As long as Ye Chengde's **** is not dead and is still in the capital, then the scandal between him and Yin Tingniang will continue to slap the family in the face. It's August. Sister Ling is only 18 years old. After another year or two, it will be more and more difficult. I have to book it as soon as possible."

Roche thought for a while, then said, "Or, I have this one on hand."

"What are you on hand?" Miao's enthusiasm was heard.

"It's a friend made by the third master outside." Luo said, "The surname is Lu. He is nearly thirty years old. He is also a well-groomed man. He is dead and has only one daughter under his knees. He lives in Beijing and his ancestral home. It’s a bit of an industry. He manages the Bishui Tower and Zhenwei Tower. Although he is a business owner, his brother is a magistrate in Xiangzhou, and he is considered a half official."

Miao groaned as he listened. She would never want her daughter to be a step-family like her, but she has no choice at the moment. And the other party has only one daughter and no son, that's different. Back then, she was the three stepsons and two stepdaughters of her concubine!

"Then... see you." Miao nodded.

...

Chu Yun climbed down and returned, and it was over half of the time.

Ye Tangcai was lying on the couch and reading the notebook. Chu Yunpan walked in, and Ye Tangcai turned over and looked at him: "What's wrong with my sister-in-law? Can Chen Zhiheng do it? Can't change another one."

"Definitely. If you don't, you have to do it." Chu Yun raised her lips and smiled, "Tomorrow your grandmother and your aunt are going to show your sister-in-law, and you'll be your wife."

"What?" Ye Tangcai frowned, her mouth curled, and she was suddenly startled: "How do you know they want to see others? I don't know yet."

Chu Yunpan smiled: "I'm looking for someone to stare at." While talking, staring at her rolling on the couch, I felt very happy.

"You are so dedicated!" Ye Tangcai could only say that.

"Well, I have always worked hard." Chu Yunpan nodded.

To draw people in as partners, the in-law relationship is very beneficial.

"Then what to do tomorrow?" Ye Tangcai said.

"Don't do anything, I'll do it." Chu Yunpan smiled.

...

Early the next morning, Miao took Ye Lingjiao, Luo and Ye Chenggang to Bishuilou.

When I originally wanted to order lunch for lunch, I didn't want to have too many people on that day. The entire Bishui Building was booked. Miao had no choice but to make a reservation.

They haven't arrived yet. In the compartment separated by the screen in the lobby on the first floor, there is a bead curtain at the entrance, and there are two people sitting inside. It is Chu Yunpan and Chen Zhiheng.

"Hahaha, why do you think of drinking here?" Chen Zhiheng smiled.

After the two got under the office, they changed into plain clothes before leaving the door.

"I'm not here for a drink." Chu Yunpan smiled, "A little while, my sister is going to come here to see each other. My lady is worried, but she doesn't want to come with my grandmother, otherwise it will be too grand, and the result will not look good, then don't It looks good. That's why I asked me to take a look. Well, you, because I'm here to drink by myself, it doesn't look good, so I called you by the way."

Chen Zhiheng heard that he was incidental, and the corners of his mouth twitched. I thought that Ye Lingjiao was actually talking about kissing, and she was seeing each other now, and she felt very uncomfortable. I couldn't help but think of her charming and stubborn look when we made dumplings together last time, and her delicate wrists that seemed to break at any time while kneading the dough.

Chu Yunpan poured a glass of wine in his spare time, and there were a few small dishes on the table.

Chu Yun climbed: "Drink!"

The two drank two glasses of wine, and Chu Yunpan suddenly said: "Here."

Chen Zhiheng was startled and looked out, and he saw Miao and his party walk in from outside.

Ye Lingjiao wore a light red aquarium pattern makeup flower twill, with a white silver-lined horse-faced skirt, holding a translucent light Luo peach fan in her hand, combed with a lily bun and a glass bead on her hair. Flowers, hanging down with jade tassels. With her light footsteps, the glazed bead flower on her head reflects the clear and beautiful light, which is fascinating.

Several people were seated at an Eight Immortals table by the window.

"Brother Ye." At this moment, a laughter sounded, but it was a handsome man who was nearly 30 years old and dressed in a blue-gray round-neck brocade gown, walking down the stairs.

"Brother Lu." Ye Chenggang smiled and stood up, arching his hands towards the man. "Bringing your family to visit you today, you have to give a discount."

"Haha, of course. I'll just ask for this meal, just order whatever you like." Na Lu Bin laughed heartily.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Ye Lingjiao, and saw that the girl was very charming, with a slender body and elegant temperament, and she was excited in her heart. It is said that the Ye girls are all prosperous, beautiful and beautiful. Seeing them today, the rumors are true.

"Mrs. Ye, hello." Lu Bin smiled and arched his hands.

Seeing that he was tall, bright and generous, Miao was also somewhat satisfied, and said with a smile: "You are welcome, nephew."

"My boss, there is a guest upstairs calling you." Xiao Er walked over.

"Okay." Lu Bin agreed, and he bowed his hands towards Miao and the others: "Business is busy. You are going to be unaccompanied first. You are free." Lu Bin said, turned and left.

Roche looked at his back, then looked back, smiled and said, "Not bad, right?"

Miao Shi also smiled and nodded: "Yes." Then he looked at Ye Lingjiao, "How?"

Ye Lingjiao was startled, and said lightly: "Whatever."

As he was talking, an eight or nine-year-old girl walked not far away, wearing a blue jacket and skirt with water and grass, leading two maids, walked over, gave Ye Lingjiao a cold glance, and then turned back. go.

As she walked, she murmured to her maid: "I don't like this stepmother at all. If you want to marry my dad and give birth to me a younger brother, it is better to let two aunts give birth! Let the two aunts..."

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. The voice was not too loud, and Ye Lingjiao and Miao had both heard it.

Miao's and Luo's expressions changed as they looked at Ye Chenggang.

Ye Chenggang's face was stern: "This is Brother Lu's daughter. It's a little spoiled, but it's not bad in fact."

Miao's face was pale, she looked at the little girl's virtues, she felt frustrated, and she even let the aunt in Lu Bin's house give birth to a younger brother, which made Miao's heart even more frustrated.

"Girls, this is all at this age." Roche smiled and rounded up, "I'm nine years old now, and in five or six years, he will be married. After entering the door, treat her with all his heart. Nothing is possible. Perfect. After Sister Ling came in and gave birth to a son, after the girl got married, she naturally knew the importance of her younger brother and wouldn't make any more trouble."

Miao's heart is still stuck: "Then Sister Ling has to be in front of the girl's aunt! What if the two aunts... first?"

"Mother thinks too much. If there is, there will be already." Luo Shi said, "Since Zhuang Xin wants to marry, naturally he won't do such a thing."

"Sister Ling..." Miao looked at Ye Lingjiao again.

"Mother decide." Ye Lingjiao said.

She knew that the family was tired of her marriage. She has to marry, otherwise there will be another joke at home. If you marry, it’s really not good. The big deal is the same as your sister-in-law. You can move to live with your sister-in-law in the future.

In the compartment not far away, along with the bead curtain, Chu Yunpan and Chen Zhiheng were also watching.

Chu Yun climbed: "That man is good, at least he looks very hearty."

Chen Zhiheng looked frustrated: "You don't have to marry like this, look at that little girl... it must be a difficult one to get along with."

"Not necessarily, who knows what will happen. At least this marriage is okay." Chu Yunpan tapped on the table with a long finger.

The food had already begun outside, and that Lu Bin came over again with a smile and greeted him, talking and talking freely.

Chen Zhiheng saw two battles inside, and he couldn't sit down anymore.

They did not check out and leave until they had finished eating outside.
