medicine lady

Chapter 9

With just a cup of tea, seven small sedan chairs in green clothes were carried into the yard one after another, and the maidservants stepped forward to wait for the second master and the second wife to get off the sedan chair, and behind them was Ye Xiaoyun, the eldest son of the second master's family. , the second son Ye Xiaochun, the eldest daughter Ye Yunlan, Ye Xiaoyun is a direct descendant, Ye Xiaochun and Ye Yunlan were born to Aunt Huang and Aunt Lu respectively, Aunt Lu is the dowry maid of the second wife, and Aunt Huang was the one who served her earlier. The second master's eldest maid.

Ye Yunshui stood behind Ye Zhang, watching the second master's family come in, and opened his eyes carefully to meet the legendary second uncle's family. The second master was in charge of all the medicine business of the Ye family in the south. It must not be a simple character.

Ye Chonggong is also a handsome man, not as handsome and heroic as Ye Chongtian, but with the delicacy of a scholar. Ye Jiang's is not beautiful, with a petite figure, with the gentleness of a southern woman in his body. Ye Xiaoyun is half a year older than Ye Yunshui in terms of age , behaves more like his father Ye Chonggong, Ye Xiaochun is 11 years old, with phoenix eyes, and looks more like his biological mother Aunt Huang, and Ye Yunlan is only eight years old this year, and she is just a little girl with a three-haired bun, a pair of smart big eyes looking around The room was full of people, with a little timidity.

"Okay, it's good to be back!" The old lady's eyes were moist, her eyes never left the second master and Ye Xiaoyun, and Ye Zhang curled her lips calmly.

"The son is not filial, he can't stay by his mother's side forever, so he kowtowed to her!" Ye Zhonggong kowtowed, and the old lady burst into tears, "Get up, get up, you can still remember to come back every year To visit me is to have a heart, unlike those unfamiliar things, who have nothing else to do except know that they want money..." The old lady wiped her tears, "It's cold in the north, Thrush go get my knee pads Come out and give it to the second master, he has rheumatism!" The old lady said that it was her concubine who was unfamiliar with her, who donated a small official in a remote place and hadn't come back for the New Year for five or six years.

"Mother, don't mention these old things during the Chinese New Year." Ye Zhongtian interjected, and the old lady sighed and asked her daughter-in-law to bring the child to salute.

"Daughter-in-law Ye Jiang's greetings to the old lady!"

"Grandson Ye Xiaoyun pays respects to the old lady!"

"Grandson Ye Xiaochun..."

"Granddaughter Ye Yunlan..."

"Okay, let's get up, let's reward!" The old lady couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and the maid next to her, Liu Lu, brought up a tray. Inside was the gift that the old lady had prepared for her grandson and granddaughter. Both the daughter-in-laws got a string of fine sandalwood beads, and Ye Jiangshi was also able to do things, so she immediately took off the beeswax beads on her hands and replaced them with those given by the old lady, and the other children followed suit. Seeing Ye Jiangshi do it, the old lady couldn't help but praise.

"Brother, sister-in-law!" Ye Chonggong saluted Ye Chongtian and Ye Zhangshi, and said respectfully.

Ye Zhongtian just nodded, "It was hard on the way back. Besides Chinese New Year, your eldest niece is also getting married this year. It happened to be lively when you came back."

"Yes." Ye Zhonggong didn't say much, but Ye Jiangshi greeted Ye Chonggong and Ye Zhangshi with joy, then took Ye Yunshui's hand and looked around for a while, "Oh, this is Yunshui? In the past two years I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have become more and more handsome. When we came back last year, you were sick and we didn't see each other. When we saw you today, you were going to get married," Ye Jiangshi turned her head and told her maid , "Bring me the gift list I prepared for the eldest girl to add makeup."

Ye Yunshui blessed, "Second Aunt hasn't changed much, please worry about my marriage."

Ye Jiangshi smiled, "It was too late when I heard about your marriage earlier, and now it was too late to change things, so I hurriedly gathered together, first you see what is on this list and what is in your dowry Is there any repetition, if there is any repetition, please let me know, and I will replace it for you." Ye Jiangshi smiled at Ye Xiaofei and three brothers and Ye Qianru, "You guys, don't be jealous , the presents for you have already been sent to the courtyards, ha ha."

Ye Yunshui clearly felt Ye Qianru's disdainful and jealous eyes, but the other three brothers didn't have much reaction, that's right, they are all boys and they won't be as jealous as women because of such things.

Ye Yunshui just took the gift list and glanced at it briefly. It was covered with girls' heads, silks and satins, as well as a few bolts of Suzhou embroidery materials and antique calligraphy and paintings. They were expensive. But Ye Jiangshi didn't let her go so easily, "Look, my sister-in-law's family is a jeweler. When she got married, she had a lot of red makeup, and she carried the dowry at 120. How many people envied her, even though she wasn't there. Yes, but what is left to you is not comparable to ordinary people!"

Ye Zhang's face suddenly turned cold, as if the summer fire had plummeted to the cold weather, Ye Yunshui knew in his heart that Ye Jiang's intentionally used his dowry to embarrass Ye Zhang, if Ye Yunshui said before Maybe it’s just a matter of fact, I asked Ye Zhang for the key to the dowry by Yuzi, but Ye Yunshui didn’t know it at this time. What he was facing was the boss, the leader, and Ye Yunshui would not let Mrs. Ye Zhang down at this time.

Ye Yunshui handed the gift list from Ye Jiangshi to Ye Zhangshi, and then blessed Ye Jiangshi, "I also asked my mother to do it for me. Don't blame the second aunt. Today, my mother has allowed Yunshui to invite the mother in the palace." I'm afraid Yunshui won't have the time to take care of trivial matters by herself, since mammy is here to teach the rules, there's never been a case of a girl who is about to marry herself to take care of her marriage affairs, so Yunshui can't go beyond that."

Ye Jiangshi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ye Yunshui thoughtfully. She didn't seem to expect her to say such a thing, but she felt that it was boring to sing a one-man show, so she smiled embarrassingly, "I didn't think carefully. .”

Mrs. Ye Zhang was very satisfied with Ye Yunshui's performance. Looking at the things on the list, she was also very surprised at her generosity, "The second younger sibling is troublesome. Although the eldest girl is not my own, she was brought up since childhood. As big as my own flesh and blood, I will never lose her."

"Look at what sister-in-law said, but I did something bad with good intentions." Ye Jiangshi put on a grievance and bitterness, which made Ye Zhangshi very annoyed. Ye Chongtian saw the atmosphere drop suddenly, so he had to say a few words, "Xiao Yunbi Yun Shui is half a year older, so it's time to discuss marriage, but a good man should start a career and start a family, so don't waste half of his studies."

When Ye Xiaoyun heard Ye Chongtian mentioning himself, he stepped forward and replied, "Uncle's lesson is that my nephew is going to take this year's provincial examination."

"Well, well, no one in our Ye family has practiced medicine for generations. No one wants to take the imperial examination. You are not greedy for wealth and glory and are willing to study hard. This is very good. If there is anything that needs uncle's help, just ask." Ye Chongtian said to Ye Xiaoyun He was very appreciative, turned his head and said to Mrs. Ye Zhang: "Let me ask someone to send the pine flower stone inkstone set in my study to Xiao Yun."

Ye Zhang's eyes widened, "My lord, that's a gift from the current emperor."

"The current Holy Majesty is the most rational and wise king, and he will not trouble me for this inkstone. Besides, I will only write medical books and prescriptions next day. I don't need this good inkstone. Instead, I will bury it, so I will send it to chat with Xiao Yun." Show your heart." With a big wave of Ye Chongtian's hand, the matter was settled like this, and Ye Xiaoyun thanked Ye Chongtian with a big gift, feeling all complacent.Ye Zhangshi was upset but it was not easy to refute Ye Zhongtian's face, while Ye Xiaofei standing behind her had a look of indifference, and the knuckles of his hands hidden in his sleeves were turning white.

Ye Xiaopeng and Ye Xiaoqing were only ten years old, so they didn't have the thoughts of being a concubine. They just looked at Ye Xiaochun who was standing silently behind Aunt Huang with curiosity, and just wanted to pull him away after seeing her. He went to play, but Ye Xiaochun naturally remembered the two brothers, who used to be the two brothers who looked exactly the same, pestering him to ask about small things in the south, and he was a little eager to try.

But Ye Xiaoyun and Ye Xiaofei, who only knew how to study all day long, had long been forgotten by this group of little ones.

"Hey, that's Xiao Chun, right? They've grown up so much, they look like a good boy, have you studied yet?" Ye Zhang looked at the concubine Ye Xiaochun with a smile on his face, Ye Jiang His face turned cold, but Ye Zhangshi asked someone to push Ye Xiaochun out. Ye Xiaochun didn't expect to mention him, looking timidly at his father and Ye Jiangshi with a cold face, Some squirm.

"This good boy looks very much like his father. He looks really handsome. Come on, this is a reward from my aunt. Let's play with it." Ye Zhang was talking nonsense with his eyes open. More like his biological mother, she said this just to embarrass Ye Jiangshi.

Ye Zhangshi took a purse and hung it on Ye Xiaochun's body, and asked someone to give Ye Yunlan the same one. She looked at Ye Jiangshi with no dissatisfaction in her eyes. Since she married into Ye's mansion, Ye Chongtian's three aunts have never It turns out that except for the child left by Ye Yunshui before, the other three sons and one daughter were all born to her, which is much better than Ye Jiang's, and I heard that Aunt Huang was very successful after giving birth to Ye Xiaochun. Ye Jiangshi treats Ye Xiaochun very meanly, and Ye Zhangshi doesn't take it seriously, disgusting Ye Jiangshi, but it's really not her style.

"They're all good boys, they're all good boys, they're already hungry when they're on the way, but hurry up and pass on the food, and when they're full, go back to the yard to rest early, and then come to be filial to my old lady after rest, it's not too late Son." The old lady is very old-fashioned, but the whole family went to the dining room to eat, and there was a table for men and women, but there was nothing to say at the table for women except staring at each other. Yes, even if there is, it is polite words such as praising the old lady's longevity and well-being. The meal is cold and warm, and the tea is removed from the table after half an hour.
