Family Has a Concubine

The sky gradually turned dark, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the faded and dilapidated red walls and green tiles, and the corridor and main room of Qiongmingxuan was also covered with a layer of gold.

Ye Tangcai lay crooked on the black lacquered arhat bed with three circumferences, her dark red watery dress was quite messy, and her jet-black hair was spread on a pillow. She narrowed her eyes slightly, yawned, and her eyelids were clenched.

At this moment, Qiuju came in and stood in front of Ye Tangcai: "Girl, those people really went to the study outside to make trouble with uncle!"

Only then did Ye Tangcai stand up slightly, and let out a chuckle. She had already guessed their thoughts. As an unfavored concubine, suddenly marrying the concubine daughter of a high family, no one can bear it.

"Who are you looking for?" Ye Tang asked.

"It's a girl who sweeps the courtyard. Her name is Xiang'er. At that time, I only had five or six copper coins in my pocket. If I gave it to her, she would be so happy." Qiu Ju said it a little funny, but felt a little helpless in her heart.

Just these five or six sons, even if they were thrown on the ground, even the third-class maids in Haitang Residence didn't bother to pick them up, which shows how poor the Ding Guobo Mansion is.

"You called her quietly, and I asked her something." Ye Tangcai said and stretched.

"What does the girl want to ask? Is it the group of people who came today?" Qiu Ju said with a smile, "I asked this a long time ago."

"You girl." Hui Ran came over with a cup of tea and patted her forehead. "Say it soon."

Qiuju sat on the embroidered pier at one side, and introduced all the people who came today. Ye Tangcai listened, and then called the people who came today one by one.

Qiuju said again: "Xiang'er said, there was such a commotion in the study! Mrs. Uncle actually pointed at the uncle and said that the third master should not marry a girl. Aunt Fei cried that it was unfair, why did the girl marry the third master and not the second?" Grandpa? He also clamored to ask the second master to withdraw from the marriage, and to find a daughter-in-law than the girl!"

Ye Tangcai let out a snort, and bent over the bed with laughter, this Aunt Fei is really a character!

"What's surprising is that Uncle has nothing to do with them! He only makes trouble based on them! In the end, the old lady came out and calmed them down, otherwise I don't know what will happen."

"Old Madam?" Ye Tangcai paused as she wrapped her black hands around her chest.

"It's the grandmother of the third master." Qiu Ju said, "I heard that she was a very powerful person when she was young. She was a general in Yingcheng. , she never stepped out of the room, and has always lived in seclusion. Even when the eldest son of the Chu family got married, she never went out of the room. Today, she seems to just want to go out to breathe, but unexpectedly, she heard this and went to suppress it .”

Ye Tang raised his eyebrows, he was really lucky today, he happened to meet him. Otherwise, as Qiuju said just now, Uncle is a coward, and I don't know what will happen.

She just yawned: "You actually know exactly what's going on inside. This Xiang'er is really good at listening to the wall! You should keep a good relationship with her, and we will know what's going on in the future."

Qiuju nodded.

"Girl, someone is here!" Hui Ran said suddenly looking out the window.

Ye Tangcai got up from the Arhat's bed, and the three master and servant walked to the small hall together, only to see a black and thin maidservant with a double ring bun coming carrying a big food box.

Seeing Ye Tangcai, the servant girl gasped, her face full of disbelief. She is Xiaocao, the servant girl in the kitchen, who was making Ye Tangcai ugly in the kitchen yesterday, but she turned out to be so beautiful.

Xiaocao put the faded carved red lacquer nine food box on the table, and said calmly: "Third Grandma, this is dinner." After speaking, she turned and left.

"It's really rude." Qiuju looked at Xiaocao's back, a little angry.

Ye Tangcai said calmly: "The uncle's mansion is in decline, and even the dignity can't be maintained any longer. Naturally, the rules are somewhat lax. Huiran, go and ask the third master to come over for dinner."

"Okay." Huiran agreed and walked out.

In Lan Zhu's residence, Chu Yunpan was reading a book, and Yu Yang ran over: "Third Master, Third Mistress told you to come and have dinner."

Chu Yunpan was startled, then put down the book.

When Qin Shi and others went to make trouble at Qiong Mingxuan, he had heard the noise a long time ago, and was about to go there, but saw Qin Shi and others leaving in a mighty manner, guessing that they were going to the outer study.

He turned back to Lanzhuju, thinking that Ye Tangcai would run over to ask him in a panic, but he didn't want to wait for a long time but couldn't wait for anyone, but waited until now to tell him to eat.

Chu Yunpan couldn't figure her out for a while.

After a while, Chu Yunpan walked to the Qiongming Pavilion, went up the veranda, and then walked to the main room. When he came to the door, he saw the newly cut red window grilles of precious flowers and birds on the two carved doors, Chu Yunpan was startled.

Walking into the room, Ye Tangcai had already sat on the round stool by the table.

After he sat down, he said, "My mother and elder brother came here just now, why didn't you inform me?"

Ye Tangcai only said: "If you come here, you will come here, what's the matter?"

Chu Yunpan frowned, if it were any other lady who suddenly married to this place, the mistress would lead a group of people rushing over aggressively, she would have been so frightened that she would have lost her mind. She was fine, she acted as if nothing had happened, I don't know if it was because she was big-hearted or bold.

At this time, Huiran opened the food box, then her expression changed, the corners of her lips twitched, and finally she put the food inside one by one.

A plate of stir-fried shredded pork with cabbage, a plate of mapo tofu with almost no meat, a small plate of cold cucumber, and an egg drop soup.

Seeing these three dishes and one soup, both Huiran and Qiuju gasped. Huiran was a little afraid to put the dishes on the table. Even the third-class maids in their mansion wouldn't eat this kind of food!

But Chu Yunpan raised his eyebrows: "Well, there are more dishes!"

Huiran and Qiuju staggered and almost fell onto the table.

The corner of Ye Tangcai's mouth twitched: "What does the third master usually eat?"

Chu Yunpan picked up his chopsticks and ordered the plate of fried shredded pork with cabbage and egg drop soup: "This and this. Occasionally, I also change to fried shredded pork with tofu. My family is poor, and I am a bastard. My meals have always been like this. As long as you can eat enough. gone."

As he spoke, he picked up a chopstick of fried shredded pork with cabbage and put it in Ye Tang's bowl.

I thought Ye Tangcai would be disgusted and wronged, but instead she smiled and ate.

A flash of surprise flashed in Chu Yunpan's eyes, what a strange girl! Then the husband and wife ate their meals quietly.

After eating, Chu Yunpan left.

Huiran brought out another plate of fried shredded pork with cabbage from the bottom of the food box, Qiu Ju had a bitter face: "Is this our dinner?"

"Even the third master and the girl eat these, what else should we choose?" Hui Ran glared at her.

Qiuju flattened her mouth aggrievedly.

Today was really exhausting, several people washed their bodies after eating, and then went to bed early to rest.
