Unlike the chaos in other places, Ye Sanyong's yard is clean.
Ye Zhenzhen made a pot of tea herself, added three cups of tea, pushed two of them to Cui Weizhen and Ye Sanyong, then picked up the last cup and took a sip, and said to Ye Sanyong with a bit of showoff: "This
It is the top quality tea given by His Majesty, and the water is the morning dew collected by Zen Master Xuyun, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple. Third uncle, please try it, does this tea taste particularly refreshing and sweet?"
Ye Sanyong was a rough man and could not imitate Cui Weizhen's elegant way of drinking tea. He acted boldly and drank it all in one gulp as if drinking. Finally, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, smacked the taste and nodded: "It is indeed a good tea! It will quench your thirst."
very."
Pfft.
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but laugh. Even Cui Weizhen's beautiful phoenix eyes couldn't hide the smile. He personally filled the tea cup for Ye Sanyong: "What the third uncle said is true, tea can quench thirst, so it is a good thing."
Ye Sanyong felt very worried. If a scholar like his second brother saw him drinking like this, he would be criticized for being vulgar and wasteful. But in his opinion, drinking tea is drinking tea, and drinking tea is also drinking tea.
Everyone has their own needs, so why should we criticize self-righteously?
His niece and son-in-law are better, elegant and not pedantic, this is the true gentleman.
Ye Sanyong drank three cups in a row, which not only quenched his thirst, but also dissipated the anger accumulated along the way. He began to ask about various details of Pengpeng's marriage. Ye Zhenzhen was most familiar with this, so she told him one by one before letting him know.
He felt relieved.
"Fortunately, Zhen'er, you are in the capital to arrange it, otherwise Pengpeng's wedding will be delayed."
Ye Zhenzhen then had another chance to ask him: "Third uncle, what happened? You just arrived in Beijing now, don't you tell me, grandma and the others are here too?"
Cui Weizhen also sat upright, waiting with Ye Zhenzhen for Ye Sanyong's explanation.
Ye Sanyong became angry when he thought of this, and couldn't help but have a bit of anger on his face, saying: "It's a long story..."
It is not easy to match two surnames. Although Wei Jinyu does not have a high court, he is from the family of Princess Wei, and is undoubtedly a high-ranking family for the Ye family. Ye Dayong and Aunt Ye are far away in Linxi County and have little knowledge, so everything
Ye Zhenzhen took care of all the rituals.
From selecting people, accepting gifts, asking questions, accepting offers, accepting appointments, and requesting deadlines, these procedures are tedious and complicated. Ye Zhenzhen takes the trouble to write home letters to inform the two elders of the Ye family every time. However, the distance is long and communication is inconvenient.
The Wei family had to carefully choose an auspicious day, but the fixed date was still undecided, and the Ye family did not receive the specific date until very late.
It was originally time to set off after knowing the date, but Ye Dayong was reluctant to part with the crops in the field, thinking that he still had plenty of time, so he waited until after the busy farming season before officially setting off. If so, he could arrive in Beijing half a month early, but something went wrong.
——
The rest of the Ye family followed secretly!
"My parents did intend to go to Beijing with us before. My eldest brother and I considered that the travel would be too much for their bodies. After several attempts to persuade them, they finally gave up their attention. Unexpectedly, they followed us secretly."
Ye Sanyong said this with a very ugly face: "Later, the second elder fell ill in the middle of the road. The second elder brother had no money to hire a doctor, so he sent someone to catch up with us. We went back and asked the doctor to get some medicine. We originally wanted them to stay and recuperate in peace.
Yes, who would have thought that they were particularly persistent in going to Beijing and went on a hunger strike if we refused. We were forced to agree and wait until they recovered from their illness before entering the capital together."
"Grandpa and grandma came to Beijing just to attend Pengpeng's wedding?"
Ye Zhenzhen asked back, they didn't know how much they cared about Pengpeng, their granddaughter, so why would they risk their lives to go to Beijing for her this time?
Ye Sanyong nodded: "That's what my parents said."
They all understand the temperament of Ye Boshan and Li Erniang. It is their nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Since they have broken up with their eldest granddaughter, it is the best choice to stay in Linxi County peacefully. Even if their behavior is a little outrageous, they will not commit any crime.
When he came to Ye Zhenzhen, no one paid him any attention.
But it would be different if they came to the capital. Ye Zhenzhen would never tolerate them being arrogant and domineering. They must understand this. In this case, they worked hard and almost lost their lives to follow.
What is the capital for?
Is it to take a look at the prosperity of the capital? Or is it because the scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten, and you think Ye Zhenzhen will support them out of affection?
Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Sanyong were really confused. Those people were of bad character and did not have much of a bottom line. They would do anything for profit. It was impossible to guess their purpose for a while.
Cui Weizhen remained silent until now, tapping his fingers on the coffee table with a thoughtful look on his face: "The two old men don't have the courage to go to Beijing, for fear of being instigated."
"You mean Ye Shiming?"
Ye Sanyong suddenly realized something and vaguely remembered something: "Second brother was indeed a little strange a while ago. He got a large sum of money from somewhere and had a fool around with pig friends. Later, the money was all spent, which led to no money on the way to Beijing.
Seeking medical treatment for my parents."
Ye Zhenzhen realized something was wrong and quickly looked at Cui Weizhen: "So, grandma and second uncle were secretly funded by someone when they came to Beijing?"
Ye Boshan and Ye Shiming are countrymen who have never seen much of the world. The farthest they have ever been is Linyang Mansion. If no one secretly instigates them, they may not have the courage to step out of Linyang Mansion in this life, let alone
He said he was going to the capital.
Who would go out of their way to plot against these little characters? It’s just Ye Zhenzhen or Cui Weizhen’s enemy.
The most likely possibility is that Ye Zhenzhen's enemies lured these top relatives to the capital so that she could "reveal her true colors" and lose her face.
Cui Weizhen held her hand and said: "Don't worry, I'm looking for someone to keep an eye on Ye Shiming. He has already arrived in the capital and will definitely contact the secret person. When the time comes, the troops will come to stop him and the water will come to cover him up. It won't be a big deal after all."
Ye Zhenzhen gradually calmed down, sighed and said, "I hope so. My sister is getting married soon. I hope they don't cause any scandal."
In fact, she is more afraid of affecting Cui Weizhen. He is young and has a high position now, and he also has heavy responsibilities. If political opponents use this as an excuse to criticize, I am afraid that the good reputation of hard work will be ruined, and it will be even more difficult to reform.
.
Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Ye Sanyong quickly promised: "Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on my second brother for a while. When Pengpeng's marriage is over, I will take them back immediately."
Ye Sanyong's identity is indeed much more convenient than that of a servant. Ye Zhenzhen quickly thanked him: "This is a big thank you to Third Uncle."
"Don't be polite. It's just a trivial matter if one family doesn't talk to each other."
We no longer discussed those annoying things and troublesome people, and the topic gradually became more relaxed, nothing more than revolving around the third aunt and little cousin who stayed in Linxi County. Occasionally, Cui Weizhen would ask Ye Sanyong about work problems, and time passed unknowingly.
Ye Zhenzhen took into consideration that her third uncle needed to rest, so she and Cui Weizhen left the yard.
