Chapter 40 New Year's Eve
The courtyard where Ye Yunshui is temporarily staying is half the size of her Jingsi Residence in Ye Mansion. Perhaps it was specially cleaned up for her arrival. There are also two maids and two gatekeepers in the courtyard. Chunyue rewarded the four of them and let them go down.

Chunyue and Hua'er rested after serving Ye Yunshui, and Mother Su took Xiaofang to meet her old friends in the house. Ye Yunshui closed her eyes but was not sleepy at all. He will suddenly pick her up on New Year's Day, and secondly, it is the attitude of several aunts.

If it is said that because Ye's mansion held a grand ceremony for Ye Yunshui's birth mother, and Ye Yunshui was about to get married, it would make sense for the Chen's mansion to reunite Ye Yunshui for the sake of saving face. The attitudes of these aunts really made Ye Yunshui puzzled. She wrote the letter to her first aunt and fourth uncle, but she was not the second uncle and the first room in the family. However, the enthusiasm of the second aunt today made Ye Yunshui a little confused. Mother Su once said that her biological mother had a cold relationship with the second uncle and the first room, and that the second aunt was mean and petty and not forgiving, and her background was a little arrogant, but today the second aunt treated her better than the others. The aunt is even more enthusiastic, even surpassing the eldest aunt who has the best relationship with Ye Yunshui's biological mother, which makes Ye Yunshui a little confused.

Ye Yunshui can understand the pity in the eyes of the first aunt, but why is the enthusiasm of the second aunt?There is even a bit of flattery in this enthusiasm. As the head of the house, it seems that she doesn't need to be so enthusiastic about a niece who has an indifferent relationship?Said it was for others to see?But the older generation is long gone, and she can't afford to stage this family drama!

However, the behavior of the third aunt and the fourth aunt was quite normal, with a distance in their polite manners.

Ye Yunshui was a little puzzled, what was the second aunt doing?

Ye Yunshui rested for a while, then heard hissing outside the door, and said, "Come in, I'm awake."

It was Xiaofang and Chunyue who were talking, and when they heard Ye Yunshui's call, they came in to wait for her to freshen up. Chunyue added, "The servants of Chen's residence are here to hang big lanterns in the yard."

Ye Yunshui nodded, today is New Year's Eve, they are so clean, but the whole Chen family is festive and busy, Ye Yunshui saw Xiaofang but not Mama Su, so he asked, "Why didn't you follow Mama Su?"

Xiaofang replied: "After Mama Su and I came back, my second uncle sent someone to ask Mama Su to come over, but I didn't let the slaves follow."

Second aunt?Why did she call Su's mother over there?Ye Yunshui was a little puzzled, and let Chunyue and Xiaofang help her wash and dress. After being taught by Madam Gong, Chunyue put a lot of effort into combing her hair. Now she can do some complicated buns, Xiaofang A little jealous on the side, but can only strike first.

It was already Shenchu, and Ye Yunshui was thinking about Su's mother. Outside, the second aunt's maid, Nian Xue, and Su's mother entered the yard together. Seeing that Ye Yunshui was dressing up, Nian Xue stepped forward and said, "Miss Ye, rest well." Already? The masters and young masters have already returned, waiting for Miss Ye to pass."

Ye Yunshui probed over to look, Mother Su nodded slightly towards her, Ye Yunshui was relieved, "I'm sorry, Miss Nianxue, take a break, I'll clean up right away."

Hua'er led Nianxue to eat snacks at a small table next to Ye Yunshui, and Ye Yunshui asked Mama Su to come over to help her. Mama Su whispered in Ye Yunshui's ear, "Tell me to ask the eldest girl about her daily chores," Mama Su paused. After a pause, "I also specifically asked about the last time you went to the temple to recuperate."

Ye Yunshui's heart trembled, "What are you asking?"

Su's mother was about to say again, Nian Xue had already come towards them at this time, although Ye Yunshui rewarded her with snacks, but the slaves didn't dare to take it, they just wanted it.

Right now, Ye Yunshui couldn't whisper to Su's mother, so he just kept the question in his stomach for a while, followed Nianxue to lead the way, and headed for the main hall of the inner house.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the way to the main hall is full of joy, red lanterns are hung high, colored strips are hung on the branches, and a big red blessing is pasted upside down on the walls every few meters. Take a homonym of "Fudao".

When the servants met each other, they all paid New Year's greetings in advance, and Ye Yunshui's sedan chair had heard no less than ten times of New Year's greetings along the way, so she let Chunyue reward her for auspiciousness.

The main hall was very lively at this moment, and as soon as Ye Yunshui's sedan chair got off, the little cousins ​​who had met during the day shouted "Cousin is here", Ye Yunshui was helped into the house by the maids, and in the main hall It was the second aunt who was talking and laughing. Seeing Ye Yunshui coming, she immediately stepped forward to greet her, and asked with a smile, "Have you rested? I was just talking about you with your uncles, so come and see me."

Ye Yunshui followed his second aunt to a middle-aged man in his 40s, "This is your second uncle."

Ye Yunshui stepped forward to salute, but the second uncle just nodded, "It's good to be back, it's time to get together a long time ago."

"This is Eldest Sister's widow? She looks a lot like Eldest Sister." It was the third uncle who spoke, and Ye Yunshui stepped forward to pay her respects. She hadn't heard Mama Su mention this third uncle, but now it seems It's a lively character.

The third uncle only looked at Ye Yunshui, but kept smiling, and Ye Yunshui greeted the fourth uncle she had met before, but the fourth uncle didn't say much, nor did he show much concern.

There are five or six brothers, and only two are older than Ye Yunshui. Chen Yaozu and Chen Yaoyang are born to the eldest aunt and the second aunt respectively. Holding her in his arms, Ye Yunshui gave her cousin sister-in-law and little nephew a big gift, and Chen Yaozu thanked her on behalf of his wife and children.

The other three brothers are only one or two years younger than Ye Yunshui, and they are the sons of the third uncle and the fourth uncle. Among them, Chen Yaohui, who is the youngest one year old, was born to the fourth uncle's aunt.

Ye Yunshui met them one by one, and gave gifts that had already been prepared, and all the brothers also had their own gifts. They were only curious about this cousin, or they were plain, only Chen Yaochong, the third uncle's son-in-law, showed a little bit. He didn't bother to come, maybe he had heard too many rumors outside, but Ye Yunshui didn't take it to heart.

"Your cousins ​​are all married and won't come back until the second year of junior high school. I'm afraid you won't be able to see them for a while." The eldest aunt said with some emotion. She also has two daughters, one married in Nieliang City, and one But married far away in a foreign country.

The second aunt said, "Yeah, I miss Ziyu too. A letter from her in-law's family last month said she was happy, but she won't be able to come back this year."

"Have you prepared supplements to send?" The first aunt asked with concern, Ziyu is the daughter of the second aunt.

"It's been prepared a long time ago, even the small clothes for all seasons." The second aunt replied, but waved her hand and smiled, "Look at what I said, I missed the meal, hurry up and sit down, After this meal, there will be a big dumpling."

The atmosphere of this meal was lively, and it was not embarrassing because Ye Yunshui, an outsider, suddenly joined in. The reason was that the second aunt stirred up the atmosphere. His attitude was extremely enthusiastic, and he even specially called Mama Su to ask...

After the meal, several aunts gathered together to play leaf cards, the two daughters-in-law waited on the side, Ye Yunshui sat and watched, found a reason to go to the toilet and asked Mama Su to accompany her, for some reason, she always There was an uneasy feeling that something was going to happen.

Su's mother naturally knew what Ye Yunshui meant. When the two walked to the deserted place, Su's mother replied softly: "It's a little strange, and I asked you in detail about how you went to the temple."

Ye Yunshui was taken aback, even Su's mother felt strange, then the matter was not that simple, but what was it all about?Not only is the second aunt abnormal, but even his uncles are a little surprised by his performance. The eldest uncle is just like the second aunt, with some enthusiasm, and the third uncle seems to be so lively, even though he is smiling, he can still feel The distance, she has seen the fourth uncle before.

Of all the people I saw today, what surprised Ye Yunshui the most was that none of them mentioned Ye Yunshui's marriage, whether they were uncles, aunts, or brothers and sisters. This was the biggest anomaly.

No matter whether Ye Yunshui marries well or not, it is a marriage after all, besides, Ye Chongtian had come to the Chen Mansion to meet his uncles before, if they didn't want to be criticized by outsiders, then they wouldn't take him to the Chen Mansion for a reunion , even though they received it, but didn't mention it, what's going on in their minds?Is it because they are concerned about Ye Yunshui's decency and do not want to sprinkle salt on her wounds, or are they convinced that Ye Yunshui's marriage with the Shangqing Mansion will not work out?
Thinking of this, even Ye Yunshui felt very scared, and she put her thoughts back to the original point, which was the part of the temple where the second aunt kept asking, the temple... the temple... Ye Yunshui's heart tightened, she Perhaps the only special thing he did in the temple was to save the eldest son, but outsiders don't know about it!
"Second aunt's natal brother is from the Northwest Army?" Ye Yunshui's brows tightened, and he looked at Mama Su with anxious eyes.

Mother Su didn't know why Ye Yunshui suddenly asked this, she nodded and said: "Yes, her natal brother is the commander of the Northwest Army."

Ye Yunshui almost exclaimed, it was him!Definitely him!This matter must have something to do with Shi Ziye!
"Is Cousin Ye here?"

Ye Yunshui suddenly heard someone calling her, so she tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart. Mother Su straightened her clothes, and the two went to the yard, but they saw Chen Yaozu's daughter-in-law Jingya and Chen Yaoyang's daughter-in-law Wenlian around find her.
