Family Has a Concubine

Brother Qiu Jing and Qiu Lang walked into Qiong Mingxuan with wine, and they saw Ye Tang greet him with a smile.

A slender and narrow-sleeved hookah moonflower dress, with a bright smile and sullen eyes.

Qiu Jing looked at her with joy and joy in her heart, she couldn't help but smile: "Cousin."

Ye Tang walked over and saw Qiu Jing and Qiu Lang each holding a small jar of wine, knowing that the Hsinchu wine on her farm had come out. Ye Tang said, "Is the new wine coming out?"

"Yeah!" Qiu Lang hehe, "I know that my cousin likes bamboo, so I took it as soon as possible, and gave it to my cousin for compensation."

Ye Tang snorted and glared at him: "Why not a thousand miles away? Only a few miles away?"

Qiu Lang laughed: "This is to describe my second brother's eager heart. It's just half an hour's journey, but it's as long as a thousand miles for him."

"Two cousins, please sit here." Qiu Ju smiled and invited them to the stone table under the banana tree, "I'll go to the kitchen to get some wine and food."

Several people walked over and took their seats on the stone bench.

Huiran had already gone into the house long ago, took out a set of jasper glasses and jugs, put these things on the table one by one, and said with a smile: "Do you want a small stove this time?"

Ye Tangcai said, "No! It's almost too hot these few days! I must drink it cold this time."

"Then drink cold." Qiu Jing smiled indulgently when she looked at her. Looking at the watery green jug and wine glass on the table, "This tea set is good."

"It's natural." Hui Ran said, "because this is Hsinchu wine, which naturally matches the green scene."

At this time, Qiuju brought a few side dishes from the kitchen, including dried duck tongue, chicken feet in pepper and rose cake.

Qiu Lang had already poured Hsinchu wine into a jasper jug, and then poured five glasses of wine on the table, and also invited Huiran to drink a few.

Ye Tang said, "My cousins ​​will be eating here for a while. Qiuju, go and prepare."

Qiuju agreed and went out. Seeing that Ye Tangcai had a good chat with the Qiu family brothers, Huiran went back to the room to do embroidery work.

Qiu Lang said: "Prepare so early? I heard that Saburo did not leave the office until after noon. When he came back, it was half past noon. If you prepare too early, the food will be cold."

Ye Tangcai frowned: "He has been busy recently, so he doesn't come home."

Qiu Jing's eyes flickered. Qiu Lang couldn't help thinking. The cousin looked at him, as if he really didn't plan to be with his cousin, otherwise, how could he be so slow about his cousin.

Qiu Jing said, "I just went home first, and I heard my aunt said that you haven't seen her recently."

Ye Tangcai's face was stiff, and she wanted to talk to Wen, but remembered the last time Wen invited a doctor, the whole person is not good... She doesn't want others to stare at her all day. Stomach, that's really embarrassing.

"Recently, there have been a lot of things at home, and the first few went to give gifts for the Dragon Boat Festival." Ye Tang said.

Qiu Jing said: "Although my aunt is not rich and honorable now, everything is safe and secure, and my cousin is safe, and my cousin doesn't have to worry about it anymore."

"Yeah." Ye Tangcai nodded.

"For many things, my cousin doesn't have to worry about it anymore." Qiu Jing said, "If there are any difficulties, we will try our best to help."

Qiu Jing looked at Ye Tangcai while talking.

If you want to reconcile, it should be on the agenda now, there is nothing to worry about.

Ye Tangcai didn't know his hint, and only squinted and smiled: "If I really have something to ask you, I won't be polite."

Qiu Lang glanced at Qiu Jing and said, "Second brother, don't go around. If you have anything, please explain clearly."

Ye Tang was taken aback: "Cousin, do you have anything to tell me?"

Qiu Jing felt a little nervous and sighed slightly: "Last year, after we sent Ye Chengde to jail, didn't you come to our back garden for a stroll?"

"Uh...it seems to be." Ye Tangcai had forgotten.

Qiu Jing said again: "That day I was the first time to cook and cook for you."

"Ah, I remember." Ye Tang Cai chuckled. "Cousin made bamboo shoots and fried shredded pork that day. It was delicious."

Qiu Lang covered his eyes, only remembering to eat.

Qiu Jing said: "Before lunch, you were strolling in the garden with Qiu Ju and Hui Ran and talked about things."

"What did you say?" Ye Tangcai couldn't remember.

"You have forgotten. Of course, it's your daily conversation. It doesn't matter if you don't remember it." Qiu Jing smiled lightly, "I only tell you one thing. On that day, you talked about your marriage. You told Qiu Ju , Chu Saburo doesn't want you, he will reconcile in the future."

Ye Tangcai was shocked when she heard it, especially when she said "Chu Saburo doesn't want you", she was frustrated. Did you say it outside? However, as Qiu Jing said, it was their daily conversation, so naturally they don't remember.

"You were talking in the garden at the time, and Qiu Lang and I happened to be moving wine behind the bamboo. It was really not intentional to eavesdrop." Qiu Jing said and gave her a tweet.

"Um... it's okay." Ye Tangcai knew that he was not at fault, and didn't mind that he accidentally listened to her secret, but she felt uncomfortable and uneasy in her heart.

"Cousin, we are all a family, then tell the truth." Qiu Lang said, "Before, because of my aunt's affairs, you really couldn't let it go, so you procrastinated. Now that everything is solved, you don't have to worry about it. It's a peace. Since he doesn't want you, it's better to negotiate."

Ye Tangcai's hand on her lap was slightly clenched, her head hanging down silently.

Qiu Jing looked at her like this, and remembered that the last time she was on Zhuangzi, she was depressed with him the whole process of pulling bamboo shoots. As soon as Chu Yunpan came over, she was annoyed at Chu Yunpan, but at that time, she didn't even notice it. The moment she saw Chu Yunpan, she smiled without saying a word.

Finally, Chu Yunpan hugged her and left.

Until now, he still clearly remembered the scene.

Chu Yunpan was tall and slender, Lanzhi Yushu, heroic and handsome, and she was nestled in his arms like that, arms around his neck, the two figures gradually moving away, intimate and sweet.

After that, he deliberately made himself forget about it.

Until now, seeing her pale face and her eyes hanging down silently, he couldn't help but think of the scene at that time, and his heart was tingling and uncomfortable.

Ye Tangcai sighed slightly and looked up at them: "Cousin, I know you care about me... but I have my own idea about this."

Qiu Jing listened to her words, and was startled: "What do you mean by this? If this matter is not good, let it go. The longer it is, the more worried and uncomfortable the auntie will be. It is better to solve it as soon as possible. If you think it will be a bad joke in Beijing, Cousin and aunt can go to Dingcheng with us."

Ye Tang was taken aback: "This... Cousin, what nonsense are you talking about, how can my mother and I go to settle the city with you."

"What's the matter? My father and grandparents have passed away. The master of the family is my mother. My elder brother inherits the family business and is a generous person. My sister-in-law is also very kind. You will be welcome when you go. And... "Furthermore, if she will marry him in the future, she will be a real family.

Thinking about this, Qiu Jing looked at her eagerly.

Ye Tangcai said, "No!" Thinking about giving him a look, "My brother is still here..."

"Do you still miss your brother?" Qiu Jing would not believe it when he died. It was just an excuse. "You are..." In the following words, he really didn't want to say it, and he couldn't say it. He just said: "It was he who proposed not to do it. Husband and wife, right? If he likes you, he won't say not to marry you. Now he is the top pick, but he is still unwilling to make promises to you, why? clearly?"

Qiu Jing's words pierced her heart every word, her small face was pale, she was sitting on the stone bench, her body tight, and her whole body standing and deserted.

"Second brother." Qiu Lang looked very unbearable, then pulled Qiu Jing, and said to Ye Tang: "Cousin think carefully, don't be deceived by him. Let's go back first, you feel uncomfortable, you can tell us, We will help you."

Speaking of La Qiujing, Qiujing was angry when she saw her silent appearance, but helpless: "Cousin..."

"Brother, let's go back first!" Qiu Lang said, already pulling Qiu Jing to stand.

Qiu Jing stumbled and was dragged out by him.

When the two went out, Qiu Lang said, "Let's let her think about it."

"If she can understand it herself, does it need to be delayed until now?" Qiu Jing said, very angry in her heart.

"Just blame...we are not girls!" Qiu Lang said suddenly.

Qiu Jing choked.

"If we were girls, she would tell us everything." Qiu Lang said. "Wait for two days, let's come to her again, or... tell my aunt about this. Let her help and persuade."

"I can't tell my auntie." Qiu Jing's face was pale, and she immediately refused: "If the auntie knows, she will only persuade her to hold on to Chu Yunpan's heart."

243 Two more

Qiu Lang thought, frowning: "Speaking of which, Chu Saburo... is very good to his cousin. Besides, didn't he match Ye Lingjiao's marriage with Tanhua? If he wants to get together, then he won't match Ye Ling. Jiao and Tanhua. Otherwise, I will get along with my cousin in the future, wouldn't it be embarrassing to work with Tanhua?"

Qiu Jing was startled, but shook her head: "It must be the cousin who begged him. He just wants to make up for the cousin."

Qiu Lang didn't want to say anything.

While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the Chuhua Gate, just when Qiu Ju got out of the car with the box in her hand, she was shocked when she saw them, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Cousin, you are gone? Don't you need food?"

Qiu Lang smiled faintly: "Suddenly there is something urgent at home, next time."

"Oh." Qiu Ju agreed, "The two of you go slowly."

"it is good."

The two got into the carriage and left. Qiu Ju watched them leave, and then walked towards the West Gate.

Walking into the yard, I saw Ye Tangcai sitting at the table, hanging his head, not knowing what he was doing.

"Girl?" Qiu Ju walked over, "What's the matter with you?"

"Not very much, I want to take a nap." After speaking, he stood up and headed towards the house.

Qiuju was startled, take a nap? It's not noon now?

Qiuju obviously felt that Ye Tangcai was in a low mood, and followed Yetang to pick it into the house. Yetang took it to the bedroom, and Qiuju walked to the west room, and Hui Ran was holding Yetang Caixin to make it back. A set of summer clothes, embroidered on it.

Qiu Ju whispered: "What's the matter with the girl?"

"What's wrong with the girl?" Hui Ran was confused by her question. She was working in the house just now, Ye Tangcai was talking to the Qiu family brothers outside. She didn't expect anything to happen. Wherever she knew, the two brothers were gone.

"I see that she is in a bad mood, and I have to take a nap now." Qiu Ju said.

Huiran lowered his head, thinking of Chu Yunpan's things about leaving early and returning late, and sighed slightly: "It's useless to ask her now. Let's do this first."

...

Yugui Lou——

At the end of the long corridor on the third floor, in the penultimate room, after the big Jiang Taigong was fishing, King Liang leaned on the couch.

Chu Yunpan and a 60-year-old old man with white beard and hair are sitting in the Grand Master's chair playing chess.

The old gentleman held the white, and Chu Yunpan held the black. On the chessboard, Bai Zi had been killed so much that he could not fight back.

The old man sighed slightly: "With Yunpan's strength, if you really go to Yingcheng, you will definitely be able to solve the danger in Yingcheng."

"Mr. Zhou took the palm." Chu Yunpan looked deserted, "Now it's just a matter of fact."

Mr. Zhou nodded. What he admired most about this student was his pragmatism and modesty. Those who can't recite the art of war, and those who can't play war chess, there are many who can play beautifully.

But the battlefield is not a chessboard, and soldiers are not cold pawns. It is a human being, flesh and blood. On the fast-changing, life-and-death battlefield, watching the blood flowing around will panic and frighten. If you do not manage well, sometimes it is obviously an advantage, but it will also become a disadvantage. If you lose, you are dead, and it is impossible to make another set.

"This morning's urgent report." Liang Wang's cold voice came from under the window, "The old Feng family was beheaded just like his son. Yingcheng was breached, and the Feng family has retreated to Yu'an Pass with the remaining people. ."

When Chu Yunpan heard the three words Yu'anguan, his fractured fingers tightened.

Mr. Zhou's face was solemn. Obviously, he had guessed the result a long time ago, and shook his head: "Feng family, if it weren't for the Xiao family and Chu family's collapse, what happened to him? It would be hard to guard Yingcheng now. The two barbarians joined forces to attack, and they naturally drove them down. Under such an offensive, they had been defending for nearly a month, which was unexpected."

"Chu San, are you ready?" Liang Wang's glamorous eyes gave him a smile.

"Yeah." Chu Yunpan nodded coldly.

Wang Liang chuckled softly: "Don't die."

"No." Chu Yunpan said, stood up and walked out.

After leaving Yugui Tower, Chu Yun climbed to the place where he usually practiced martial arts, and practiced with Yuyang and Yuhan for most of the day. When he returned home, he was close to his son.

The three of them walked to the Orchid Bamboo House against the silvery white moonlight. Yuyang took out the key to open the door, and Chu Yunpan stood at the door, but couldn't help but look at Qiong Mingxuan not far away.

Seeing a dim yellow lantern hung in front of the gate, it was blown out by the wind.

He couldn't help but walked over and gently helped. Touching the dim yellow lantern in his hand, I only felt a slight warmth. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but put my hand on the cold door and pushed it slightly, but the door was tight.

He only felt a little cold in his heart, and then turned and walked back.

Yuyang had already opened the door, and when he saw him coming, he said: "It's too late, the third grandma and the others have already fallen asleep, let's find her again tomorrow!"

Chu Yunpan shook his head: "No need, so be it."

Several people entered the house and rested after bathing.

Early the next morning, Chu Yunpan, as usual, went out to go to the office early.

Ye Tangcai slept halfway through the hour before getting up awkwardly, her long hair in a mess.

Huiran fetched water, Ye Tang finished washing her face, and then sat on the dressing table, but Qiuju didn't come. Ye Tangcai was a little impatient, and shouted, "Qiuju?"

"Hey!" Qiuju's promise came from the door, and then Qiuju rushed in.

"Where did you go?" Ye Tangcai glared at her.

"I'll go to Lanzhuju to see if San Ye is up." Qiuju walked behind Ye Tang Cai, picked up an ivory comb and combed Ye Tang's hair. Her small face was reflected in the mirror, and she was flattened. Mouth, "Isn't it time to take a break today? Why do you still go to the office?"

Then he came over with his clothes and hung them on a hanger on one side: "I heard that there is another war in the border, and the mood above is not good. I have to discuss the war in the border early every day. Even Jinshang and the Minister of Shoufu dare not rest. , Sanye, how dare they take a break!"

Qiu Ju was taken aback: "So it's like this! It's a long time to take a break." His face was full of disappointment. What she saw in her eyes was nothing but restlessness.

Ye Tangcai's heart burst when she heard the border war. She gently shook her hand on her lap, her finger bones turning white. After thinking about it, he said, "Quickly comb it. Let's go to the restaurant outside for a snack."

"Oh." Qiu Ju listened, and his heart jumped for joy again. "Then where shall we eat? Chen Guilou?"

Chen Guilou is the best in the north of the city, and Ye Tang usually picks up the food there.

Ye Tangcai thought for a while, then said, "Go to Qinglong Tea Shop..."

"Ah! It's been a long time!" Qiu Ju looked excited. Qinglong tea shop is well-known in the capital, the dishes it serves are ordinary, but it is lively there!

The most are storytellers. When I sit there, I am eating snacks while listening to people's storytelling or gossip, not to mention more lively and fun. It is said that in order to maintain this characteristic to attract customers, Qinglong Tea House also gives the few storytellers a monthly payment so that they can come there every day.
