Chapter 8 Grandma's Brand

rThe fourth lady, Mrs. Duan, has always been fickle, and she heard her voice as soon as she stepped into Qiushui Courtyard. "How is Ayun?"

Ye Ningyu wanted to push herself up and sit up. As soon as Duan entered the room, she saw her frowning niece and hurriedly ran over to help her. "Hey, lie down, lie down, you can't move this body.

"

After saying that, Mrs. Duan looked around again and said in a bad tone, "Why is there no one waiting in the house? Where are the girls?"

Ye Ning said, "I asked them all to go out."

Mrs. Duan was stunned for a moment, thinking that her niece was going to ask about the Zhong family's affairs today. She took the second girl's face into consideration, so she dismissed the servant and started talking to herself. "The Zhong family's wife is also shameless, what else can she say about Zhong Kang?"

I have a deep love for the second girl, and what Huayan Temple did was just out of sheer ignorance. When I heard that, I really wanted to reward her with her tongue in cheek."

Ye Ningyu had long been accustomed to the princess-like demeanor of her fourth aunt, and said with a smile: "Fourth aunt doesn't have to be angry for this kind of person. Fortunately, she discovered it early. If she had really waited until the marriage was consummated, with Ah Huan's temperament, I don't know.

How can I be so wronged?"

Duan agreed very much, "Who says it's not the case?"

"Ayun asked you to come here today because I have something urgent and I want to ask my fourth aunt for help."

Duan was stunned when she heard this, "You... aren't you asking about the Zhong family? It still hurts. Why are you so anxious to talk about it today?"

Ye Ningyu took out a copper-colored wooden sign from under the pillow and handed it to Duan. "This..." Duan looked at the sign, "Is it the old lady's?"

"Back then, my grandfather made great achievements in the military, and my grandmother was granted the title of Madam Yipin. When entering the palace, he rescued a young eunuch from a palace servant's stick. This young eunuch later became Eunuch Liu by your Majesty's side. One year, it was my grandmother's birthday, and Eunuch Liu secretly sent her a message.

This sign says that if the Ye family is in trouble in the future, they will take it out."

Duan nodded, "I heard the old lady mention this."

Ye Ningyu handed the sign to Duan. "Aunt Four, can you think of a way to secretly send it to Eunuch Liu?"

When Mrs. Duan heard this, her face changed drastically. "What happened to the house?"

Ye Ningyu said hurriedly, "Not really, but I have heard the third and fourth uncles mention the court affairs these days, and I feel that a lot has changed recently. If it affects the Ye Mansion, it would be better to take precautions in advance."

Ye Ningyu needs to send the sign out as soon as possible. If he waits until his father is accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, the Ye family will become the target of public criticism, and every move will be under surveillance. Eunuch Liu in the palace still owes his grandmother a favor, and her grandmother is dying.

They couldn't get out. Now that the Ye family was about to be in trouble, she went to ask for this favor on behalf of her grandmother. Seeing Ye Ningyu say this, Duan didn't ask any more questions. She knew that her niece had always been calm and intelligent, and would not act without aim. Now like this

She does it but doesn't say it, so she must have a reason. "It's not difficult. I haven't been to the palace to see my mother for a long time. I will go there tomorrow, but what else should I bring?"

Ye Ningyu thought for a moment and said: "I just said it a few days ago, and my father-in-law will naturally understand that the Ye family is grateful for his great kindness."

Duan nodded and secretly wrote down, "Although I grew up in the palace, I am not as broad-minded as A-yun. With my eldest brother outside, you have to worry about everything. If you were a man, you would definitely be named a marquis and prime minister. If Ashu is half as stable as you,

As a mother, I am content."

Ye Ningyu smiled lightly. "There's nothing wrong with Ashu. I think he's free and easy and has a methodical approach to his work. He will definitely be successful in the future."

Duan was surprised, "How can he still have rules and regulations? You, the eldest sister, are the only ones who can speak good words for him."

"That's not a good thing. Don't Fourth Aunt think that Ashu is the best among all the children in Dadu? Although they usually seem to be doing nothing, they never bully the weak. A few days ago, I heard that they raced horses and beat several rich guys.

When the money is won, it is sprinkled on the streets to the poor people."

Duan thought about it silently, and couldn't help but recall her son's many good things, and asked unconfidently, "So, Ashu is still useful?"

Ye Ningyu was amused by the fourth aunt's words, "No matter how idle the eighth son of my Ye family is, he is still a hundred times better than other children. The fourth aunt cannot let Ashu hear these words, otherwise he will be really sad.

"

Mrs. Duan also laughed. She felt that her niece was right. "Ashu is not incompetent. Maybe Fourth Aunt can be more compliant. Having her ears pulled all day long will inevitably make her lose face in front of the servants."

Ye Ningyu joked. Duan thought about it, "Yes, yes, yes, Ayun said so, so... the fourth aunt will also make a face for that brat in two days?"

Ye Ningyu smiled and said nothing, and Duan stood up to leave. "Fourth Aunt, don't let the third party know about the brand."

Mrs. Duan nodded, "Don't worry, Fourth Aunt knows what's going on."

Looking at Duan's back when he left the house, Ye Ningyu sighed secretly in her heart. She wished that Ashu could always be so free from distractions, but people always have to grow up. It would be good to let the fourth aunt know her son's strengths in advance. Next spring, Ah Shu

There was no hope that Shu would be on the list. Ye Ningyu had other plans for her eighth brother. After Duan left, Ye Ningyu didn't sleep. She lay on the bed and carefully thought about whether the arrangements for the past few days were appropriate, until she couldn't find any omissions.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. He had not had much appetite in the past two days, so Qinglian brought some porridge and side dishes, and Ye Ningyu took a few bites. Ye Ningdong took Ye Ningxi and brought many more sour fruit snacks, which were arranged for Ye Ningyu to take a few bites.

Ning Yu couldn't even fit in that room. When the two girls came to Qiushuiyuan, they saw Ye Anjinlai feeding the fish in Qiushuiyuan boredly, so they couldn't help but tease him a few words. "Xiao Shiyi, my brothers have all gone to the Imperial College, why don't you go?

Where’s studying?”

Ye Ningxi smiled. Ye Anjin pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Sister Ten, you are not much older than me, why do you call me Xiao Shiyi? I am not young anymore."

Ye Ningdong said, "Yes, our Ah Jin is the most calm. Have you memorized all the articles taught by Mr. today?"

All the sons of the Ye family are studying in the Imperial College. Ye Anjin is the youngest, so she and her sisters stay in the mansion to study with their husband. "I have already memorized it by heart, and now I can go to the Imperial College, but my brothers don't believe me."

Ye Anjin murmured. Ye Ningdong couldn't help laughing. "All the students in the Imperial College will take the exam next year. Is it possible that you want to win the top prize at the age of ten?"

"Ninth Sister is used to making fun of Ah Jin. In a few years, I will definitely show Ninth Sister the number one prize!"

Ye Ningdong laughed and said, "Okay! You are ambitious. In a few years, I will also take the exam for the top prize. We will take the exam in the same year. Is Ah Jin willing to compete with Ninth Sister?"

Ye Ningxi came over, looked at Ye Ningdong's appearance, and teased, "You... can you still take the scientific examination? I'm afraid you won't even be able to get through the gate of Gongyuan."

Ye Ningdong was dissatisfied, so he stepped forward and grabbed Ye Ningxi's waist, which made Ye Ningxi laugh. Ye Anjin also laughed at the side, watching the two sisters fight, and did not forget to add fuel to the fire. For a moment, Qiu Shui

The courtyard was filled with laughter. When Qinglian heard the noise outside, he stood up and prepared to close the door to let the eldest girl have a good rest. Ye Ning said, "Nothing, just leave it open."

In the memory of her previous life, her younger brothers and sisters had never fought like this for a long time. In a few days, if something happened to Ye Mansion, they would all grow up overnight. At that time, she wanted to see such a scene again.

I don't know how long it will take to wait. Thinking of this, Ye Ningyu's eyes turned red again. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside Qiushuiyuan. Luzhu hurriedly entered the door with a look of panic. "Girl, Zhong... The Zhong family is here to cause trouble!
