Family Has a Concubine

Yin Tingniang said again: "Yesterday, it was boiled. I just said that the soup was well cooked. Unfortunately, Brother Yun didn't come to drink it. He thought that I had worked hard yesterday, and he was not angry, so he called Brother Yun." Come, make me happy."

Xu Rui only pursed his lips and remained silent.

"Let me make soup!" Yin Tingniang said in a low voice, then she lowered her eyes and silently turned into the kitchen, looking unhappy.

Ye Yun glanced at Ye Tangcai, and sighed slightly: "What would my sister want to eat?"

Ye Tangcai saw his nervousness, turned his eyes slightly, and twitched his red lips: "No need, I'm hungry and don't want to wait." Turning back to Chu Miaohua, he said, "Second Sister, let's eat outside."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Chu Miaohua didn't dare to say anything more, so she just nodded, "Okay."

Ye Tangcai smiled at Ye Yun: "I'll go first."

Turning around and leading Chu Miaohua to go out, Yin Tingniang from the kitchen came out and stood on the porch watching Ye Tangcai leave without daring to make a sound.

Ye Yun looked back at Yin Tingniang's cautious look, frowned, and chased her out: "Sister, wait for me."

Ye Tang let out a sigh, and his expression became even colder.

Ye Tangcai and Chu Miao drew the house, and Ye Yun followed them. He didn't speak, just followed them.

Out of Songhua Lane, there is East Street, which is also considered bustling, with people coming and going, and because it is lunch time, all restaurants and restaurants are busy.

Ye Tangcai looked around, and randomly chose a small but clean restaurant, and went up to the second floor and asked for a private room.

Seeing this, Ye Yun hurriedly followed in embarrassingly, and sat opposite Ye Tangcai.

When Xiaoer served tea, Ye Yun took the initiative to pour tea for Ye Tangcai and Chu Miaohua, and asked with concern: "This is jasmine tea, are you used to drinking it?"

Ye Tangcai didn't answer, Chu Miaohua saw the awkward atmosphere, and hurriedly responded in a low voice: "Yes."

Ye Yun quietly cast a glance at Ye Tangcai, only to see her expression was calm, not knowing what she was thinking. He frowned, and finally sighed slightly: "Sister, I know, you must have misunderstood Aunt Ting and the others just now."

Ye Tangcai sneered: "Where is the misunderstanding?"

Qiuju behind him couldn't help it, and said angrily: "No, where did you misunderstand? Before, the wife and the girl didn't know about it. They just thought that the eldest son was playing outside with his classmates and was not homesick. No, he was actually getting close to that outer room." !"

"You—" Ye Junjun's face darkened, and he shouted coldly: "When can even a servant girl teach me a lesson!"

Qiuju was not afraid, and sneered: "Hey, this will put the airs of the master upside down? Just now in front of the outer room, you talked about an aunt, why are you not the master?"

Ye Yun choked and was speechless. Indeed, strictly speaking, the outer room is not even an aunt, and naturally it is not even comparable to the servants. If she is not an outer room, what is she?

"Young master's eyes are so beautiful, but you are blind if you don't want to! The outer room and the oil bottle are pretending to be good people. They say that they are cooking soup and waiting for you to go back to drink. They coaxed you so much that you don't even recognize your own mother. How dare you now?" And help them speak." Qiu Ju was furious and gritted her teeth.

"What do vulgar people like you know?" Ye Yun sneered, then looked at Ye Tangcai again: "Does my younger sister care about your servants?"

Ye Tangcai glanced at Qiuju, and lazily said: "Qiuju, shut up." Then he looked at Ye Yun: "I don't know, how can you be called a vulgar person?"

Ye Yun sighed slightly, and looked at Ye Tangcai: "I'm watching all these things!"

"Oh?" Ye Tang picked up her lips, waiting for him to say.

"They're just trying to please me, so what's the matter?" Ye Yun said with a serious look on his face, "I think about what happened today, and I understand it now. Ruidi was trying to please me, so he lied and made a mess at home. My favorite soup is actually not available, and he asked me to go to the bookstore again, in fact, to delay the time, so that Weizi can inform Aunt Ting to make soup, and I can drink it when I go back."

Qiuju became even angrier: "Since you can see clearly, you even speak for them!"

Ye Yun glanced at Qiuju coldly, then looked at Ye Tangcai, and sighed slightly: "Sister, you were born in a noble family, a daughter of a thousand gold, and you were raised by pampering since you were a child. Bitterness, how do you know the pain of those who are struggling at the bottom, suffering from hard work every day for a bite of food?"

Then he stood up, went to the window, pointed outside and said: "Look, the street vendors stand on the side of the street in the wind and sun, nodding and bowing to customers, just to sell a commodity, but Is it wrong to earn two hard-earned money?"

Ye Tangcai didn't answer him, Ye Yun asked and answered by himself: "They are not wrong! Look again, the beggar on the street corner kept kowtowing to the passers-by on the street, just to eat a bite of food. But he bowed his knees, but even a mouthful You can't even eat, but you are sitting here, eating fish and meat, and throwing it away if you can't finish it. Naturally, you can't understand the feelings of the old beggar on the street corner!"

Then he sat back and looked at Ye Tangcai: "And as the daughter of the royal family, you are of noble birth, so naturally you can't feel the pain of Aunt Ting and Ruidi. Aunt Ting is just an ordinary peasant woman who lost her husband when she was young. Ruidi came to the capital to seek refuge with relatives. She didn't want people to follow her and such poor relatives as Ruidi. She was a little girl working hard in the capital, so miserable. It was hard for her to meet her father and get his sympathy, so she could live a happy life. Ruidi can go to school only if he can live a stable life."

"But she is just an outsider, with no name and no role. In this world, everyone despises her. Dad is her only support. They just want to live a good life. Is this all wrong? And we are the children of the main family, born noble , was born to enjoy the glory and wealth, and even regarded the concubines or concubines as servants and slaves, who could be oppressed as much as they wanted, without even thinking about it, they also have fathers and mothers? Do they want to be born as lowly? ?”

Speaking of this, he looked at Chu Miaohua: "May I ask, is Miss Chu a concubine or a concubine?"

Chu Miaohua turned pale, and said in a timid voice, "I, I am a concubine."

Ye Yun sighed slightly: "In this case, I would venture to ask again, is Miss Chu's aunt also bowing her knees in front of her aunt, keeping her head down and being a minor?"

Chu Miaohua's face became even more embarrassed, and she dared not make a sound.

Ye Yun knew her acquiescence when she looked at it, and said: "In front of the mistress and their children, they are inferior, and Aunt Ting doesn't even have the title of aunt. She is naturally low-key in front of us. He wants to please us carefully. Today Ruidi said that Aunt Ting made soup, he also wanted to please me, he wanted to get my kindness, they just wanted to live better, and it was not harmful to me. What's wrong? It's like a street vendor wooing customers, what's wrong with him? Why can't we release a little bit of goodwill and fulfill their pleasing?"

The last sentence, with a question.

"Sister, we can't just stand on our own standpoint and think about things from our own point of view." Ye Yun said with shining eyes and became more and more passionate, "You and mother's thinking is too ignorant and fixed by rules. It's too Selfish, I always only think about myself and don't think about others. Everyone is a person who waits on my father, and it's just that the status is not good, so why make things difficult for others? Are you right? "

Qiu Ju, who was standing behind, almost fainted, "You...you..."

"Shut up! When will it be your turn to speak!" Ye Yun snorted coldly.

"Shut up, too!" Ye Tang took a cup and threw it directly.

The cup hit Ye Yun's shoulder, and Ye Yun blocked it with his hand, angrily: "You, what are you doing?"

"Why don't you! I'm listening to your admonition carefully." Ye Tangcai smiled, "I'm listening with enthusiasm! As I said just now, everyone is human, so why make things difficult for others, it's just a matter of poor status. Qiuju She is also a human being, and she was born and raised by a mother, so don't shout at her."

Ye Yun choked, and frowned: "I didn't shout at her, but I was just speaking the truth."

"Okay, make sense and continue." Ye Tangcai chuckled, "By the way, why hasn't the food been served yet? Qiu Ju went to remind me."

Qiuju gritted her teeth and gave Ye Yun a cold look, then turned around and left the private room.

Ye Yun patted the tea stain on his shoulder and said, "Sister, now you are also married to a concubine, so you should understand this kind of pain clearly." Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with some self-reproach: "You You must be enlightened! Otherwise, if you met Ruidi and me on the street, I don’t know how to shout and scold you.”

The corners of Ye Tangcai's mouth twitched.

"As human beings, we should think about problems from different positions and angles, and don't be trapped by those rules." Ye Yun took a sip of tea.

Ye Tangcai hehehe: "You are right."

Ye Yun felt that Ye Tangcai was still unwilling to accept it, but she was willing to sit in front of her calmly and listen to her talk, which showed that she had made progress, so she smiled: "Actually, I'm still a little enlightened."

At this time Xiao Er came in to serve the food, and served five dishes and one soup.

Ye Yun picked soup for Ye Tang, and said very considerately: "Sister, let's drink the soup."

"Okay." Ye Tangcai nodded with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Xu worshiped the famous Mr. Yao. Such a good master, why didn't dad introduce him to brother? How partial!"

Ye Yun frowned: "Sister, let me tell you plainly, I just don't want to study. What's good about studying?"

"Since it's not good, why did Xu Rui read it? Why did he take the science test? I think dad is partial!"

Ye Yun said his famous words: "We are hereditary noble marquises, and we can only know a few words and understand the truth when we study. Didn't my sister-in-law say this last time?"

Ye Tangcai choked, Chu Yunpan had indeed said this when he recognized his relatives last time.

"Ruidi studies because he is white, so he has to work so hard." He sighed slightly, as if he still had a sense of superiority. Then use this time to do something else, to do something more meaningful, right? Anyway, you will be a noble in the future, so donate an official to support your appearance."

"Then what does brother want to do?" Ye Tang raised an eyebrow.

Ye Yun scratched her head: "I don't know what to do now. I was forced to go to school by my grandfather, which wasted my time and didn't have time to do other things. So, Dad, it's definitely not partiality!"

Ye Tangcai didn't want to talk to him anymore, "Let's eat!"

"Okay, sister also eat more." Ye Yun nodded, and was a little worried: "Don't tell mother what happened today. She is too rigid-minded and can't put herself in other people's shoes."

Ye Tangcai hehehe: "Okay."

Ye Yun felt that Ye Tangcai was a good talent, and now that Ye Tangcai married a concubine, she would definitely feel the pain of Tingniang and Ruidi, so she said, "Sister, let's eat and meet more often in the future. We are Flesh and blood are close relatives, brothers and sisters, so we can't be unfamiliar with each other."

Ye Tangcai narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Okay."

Ye Yun was cheerful, and also drew a spoonful of soup for Chu Miao: "Miss Chu, let's drink the soup."

"Thank you Young Master Ye." Chu Miaohua looked at him with a blushing face, with tears in her eyes, very moved.

This Mr. Ye is really a strange and great person. His ideological realm is beyond the reach of ordinary people. As a concubine, she and her aunt naturally bowed and bowed in front of their aunt and sister, and everyone thought they should. No one has ever pitied them and thought about their situation.

Only this Mr. Ye, his thinking surpasses all others, and he treats them equally.

Thinking of this, Chu Miaohua glanced at him, and saw that he was bright and handsome, with a warm smile, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and blushed.

After half an hour, the few people finally finished their meal, Ye Yun glanced at Ye Tangcai: "Where are you going in a while?"

Ye Tangcai said, "Go pick the cloth."

"Then... I won't go, I'm leaving." Ye Yun said with a smile.

"Brother won't pay the bill? Treat us to dinner!" Ye Tangcai said.

Ye Junjun's face froze: "I have spent all my monthly money..."

"Brother has grown up so big, he hasn't invited me to a meal or bought me pastries." Ye Tangcai said, looking at him with big beautiful eyes, complaining.

Ye Yun's face flushed red, father is short of money now, and Aunt Ting has to spend it again, he gave Aunt Ting all the money he put away before, and borrowed the money for the inkstone just now from a classmate, he Now I only have three taels of silver left in my hand...

Seeing his hesitation, Ye Tang's eyes flickered slightly. She remembered that after buying the inkstone in Pinshuzhai just now, he took out a bank note, and the shopkeeper gave him the money.

"I, I invite you!" Seeing that Ye Yun had no money, Chu Miaohua quickly relieved Ye Yun of his embarrassment, and said with a smile, "I have long wanted to invite my sister-in-law to dinner."

Ye Yun glanced at Chu Miaohua gratefully, and Chu Miaohua blushed even more, so she got up and went downstairs to pay the bill.

The corners of Ye Tangcai's mouth twitched.

This meal is not expensive, because the restaurant is not particularly gorgeous and elegant, and the dishes just ordered are also ordinary, and it only cost half a penny.

When they went downstairs, Chu Miaohua dragged Ye Tangcai to buy cloth.

However, Ye Yun walked to the gate of Kelezhai, touched the one tael of silver in his bosom, and hesitated.

Just now Ye Tangcai asked him to invite him to dinner, but he didn't want to invite him. He wanted to save the money to buy pastries to make Aunt Ting happy.

At that meeting in Songhua Lane, my sister exposed Ruidi's lies in public, and Aunt Ting was sad and embarrassed, and he went out with her sister again, Aunt Ting must have thought he was angry.

If he bought pastries and went back...

But he remembered Ye Tangcai's eyes when he asked him to invite him to dinner.

After thinking about it, he didn't buy it in the end, and then rushed back to Songhua Lane.

When they came to Yin Tingniang's small courtyard, Ye Yun knocked on the door, and a woman in gray clothes came to open the door after a while, and her face changed when she saw him: "Young master...you, are you here?"

"Yes." Ye Yun nodded with a smile, trying her best to make her smile kind.

When Ye Yun walked into the yard, he smelled a burst of fragrance, which was the smell of yam pork rib soup.

He walked into the main room and saw Yin Tingniang and Xu Rui eating.

There are simple three dishes and one soup on the dinner table, one steamed crucian carp, one fried cabbage heart in white, and one yam pork rib soup.

Seeing him coming in, Yin Tingniang was startled, stood up quickly, and smiled: "I thought you were going to have dinner with the eldest girl...I didn't expect you to come back, so I didn't wait for you."

Ye Yun knew that her sudden return made them unable to eat at ease, so she quickly smiled and said: "I have eaten, and I don't know where to go, so I came here to sit."

Yin Tingniang responded, and said to the outside world, "Mother Chen, bring me the bowl."

Grandma took the bowl, and Yin Tingniang spooned a bowl of soup, "Brother Yun, let's drink the soup." There seemed to be tears in her eyes.

Ye Yun looked at Yin Tingniang's cautious look, feeling very uncomfortable, and saw Xu Rui's uncomfortable face.

Thinking in their hearts, Aunt Ting and Ruidi must have thought they were angry, secretly regretted that they hadn't bought pastries, and didn't know how to express their kindness for a while.

If he said that he knew that they wanted to please them, but he didn't mind, and he was afraid of hurting their self-esteem. Anyway, no matter what he did, he couldn't express his feelings, and he felt more and more guilty.

After drinking a bowl of soup, he left in embarrassment.

After leaving the gate of the small courtyard and walking in the alley, Ye Yun sighed slightly. There are many inequalities in this world, there are too many poor people, and there is really too little he can do.

...

Seeing that Ye Tangcai was not very happy, Chu Miaohua didn't want to choose when she went to the cloth village. After choosing for a long time, she finally bought a pink peach petal makeup flower satin at random, and then went back home by car.

Back at Qiongmingxuan, Qiuju lay on the Arhat's bed and said "Ouch".

"Qiu Ju, what's the matter with you?" Hui Ran saw Qiu Ju lying there half dead, so she called out, "You have taken up the girl's place to read."

"I, I want the eldest son to be pissed off!" Qiu Ju gritted her teeth, her face was livid, and now thinking of Ye Yun's words, she was still trembling with anger.

"You met the eldest son?" Hui Ran was startled.

Qiu Ju stood up, and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah for today, gritting her teeth: "Unexpectedly, he is a rebellious man with his elbows turned outward, and he is actually facing that outer room, not thinking about his wife at all."

Ye Tangcai sat at the table leisurely and poured himself a cup of tea: "What he said is also reasonable."

"Girl!" Qiu Ju was startled with a livid face.

"It's just that he has kindness towards others, and others also have kindness towards him?" Ye Tangcai sneered. If she hadn't experienced it in her previous life, maybe she would also be moved by his words.

"Yes, that's the truth!" Qiuju nodded. "He only looks at the outer room with pity, why doesn't he look at his wife with pity?"

"Okay, don't be angry, drink tea and calm down!" Hui Ran smiled and brought her a glass of water, and fed it to her mouth.
