The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 378 Encounter in Temple (1)
Ye Yu didn't try to persuade her too much. After looking at the dozen or so dishes on the table that hadn't been touched, she thought about it and said to Mrs. Ye, "Mother, why don't we change the way we eat?"

"Changing the way of eating?" Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Yu and said hesitantly, "How can I change the way of eating?"

Ye Yu remembered the "hot pot" of Qingguo, thought for a while, and said to Mrs. Ye: "My child will come as soon as he goes, mother, please wait here for a while."

After the words fell, before Mrs. Ye could open her mouth, he got up and walked down.

When the people in the kitchen knew that their Jiuye had come to the kitchen, Qi Qi was so frightened that he couldn't react at first, and then he was terrified and didn't know what he had done. Looking at Ye Yu.

"Hong Jian, let them start to do as I ordered."

"Yes, Master Jiu."

Hong Jian then told the people in the kitchen about the "hot pot" that Ye Yu recounted one by one.

Knowing that it was a new dish that Master Jiu had come up with instead of committing a crime by himself, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to shout.

Because it was the New Year, the kitchen was fully prepared, and the chicken soup was hanging from the pot all the time.So only a quarter of an hour later, everything was ready.

Mrs. Ye looked at the fresh vegetables on the table, frowned and looked at Ye Yu.

"Mother, eat and eat."

"Where did you learn how to eat?" Mrs. Ye asked amusedly.

"A friend!"

a friend?

Mrs. Ye frowned.

That friend should be the scheming Luo Qingguo, right?

Seeing that Mrs. Ye didn't move, Ye Yu raised her head and asked, "What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?"

"No, it's the first time I saw this way of eating, and I couldn't wake up." Mrs. Ye said, after finishing speaking, she turned her head and said to Zhu's mother standing behind her: "Don't stand still, sit down together Eat something."

"Hey, this can't be done..." Zhu's mother repeatedly declined.

Ye Yu smiled and said: "Mom, sit down, thanks to you being by mother's side all these years, in my heart, we are all one family!"

"Hey, it should be, it should be."

Zhu's mother turned her face away as she said, blinking the tears of emotion in her eyes.

It is only natural for a servant to serve his master wholeheartedly, but when someone is grateful for this dedication, that is another difference!
Mother Zhu finally sat down.

With Zhu's mother joining in and Ye Yu's willingness to entertain, the meal was enjoyable.

After dinner, Mrs. Ye and Ye Yu sat in the flower hall drinking tea.

Mother Zhu directed the servants to clean up the table.

Mrs. Ye held the teacup in her hand, took a sip of the tea, and said to Ye Yu: "The eighth day is the day when Shakyamuni Buddha became a monk. Mother wants to go to the Ciguang Temple outside the city to worship the Buddha. Would you like to go together?" ?”

After New Year's Eve, the next day is to visit relatives and friends.

The Ye family originally had some relatives in Xingcheng, but over the years because of Mrs. Ye's indifferent temperament, walking between the various families is actually not annoying.

Ye Yu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go with my mother."

Madam Ye smiled with satisfaction.

After a pause, she suddenly asked, "Is Yao Huang okay with you?"

If Mrs. Ye didn't mention it, Ye Yu almost forgot about this person. Now when Mrs. Ye mentioned it, he pondered for a while and said: "Mother didn't mention it, I almost forgot, my child has something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Yu.

Ye Yu put down the teacup in his hand, curled up his lips, and said calmly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the little maid in my courtyard can't serve her well, can mother take care of her before? The little servant girl called here to serve her?"

Mrs. Ye's face froze, and she looked at Ye Yu sharply.

She intentionally asked Ye Yu to take Yao Huang into his service, but it didn't mean that she was willing to see Ye Yu take over as a servant!

Mrs. Ye's mood was complicated beyond words for a moment, she held the teacup in her hand, and remained silent for a long time.

Ye Yu didn't urge her, and there was a slight smile in his drooping eyebrows, no one knew what he was thinking.It seems that what he said just now was just an unintentional move.

the other compartment.

Yao Huang was stopping Zhu's mother, and said with red eyes: "Mom, you can speak to the old lady on behalf of the servant, and say that the servant wants to come back to serve the old lady!"

Zhu's mother frowned and looked at Yao Huang. Although she was full of suspicion in her heart, her face remained calm, and her words were also light and cold.

"Yao Huang, it's always been the master who picks the slaves. When will it be the slave's turn to pick the master? It's not your first day as a maid. Why have you forgotten this rule?"

"No, mother...servant..."

Yao Huang was so anxious that he just shook his head, but he didn't know what to say.

In addition to the people coming and going, everyone was looking at her, Yao Huang stomped his feet, and said flatly: "Mom, slaves can't even enter Jiuye's room, how can they serve Jiuye!"

Although her voice was subdued, but since it was a Chinese New Year celebration, the people below relaxed a little. Seeing that she stopped Zhu's mother, they had already had something good to listen to.

By the time Yao Huang realized it, the servants around her had already looked at her strangely!For a moment, Yao Huang was ashamed and anxious, and tears fell down like broken beads.

"I'm going to die, it's Chinese New Year, why are you crying here!" Mother Zhu's expression changed immediately when she saw it, and she shouted to Yao Huang, "Get down, hurry up and get down for me."

"Mom..." Yao Huang quickly wiped the tears from his eyes, and looked at Zhu's mother pleadingly.

Zhu's mother couldn't help but called the two women to come forward, pointed to Yao Huang and said, "Send her back to Yanlou, and find someone to watch her."

"Yes, Mom."

The mother-in-law dragged Yao Huang and went out.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we must worship our ancestors.

The Ye family's old house is located sixty miles outside Xingcheng County, in a small town called Chaiwan.

The town is not big, only a hundred or so households, most of whom have the surname Ye, unlike most small towns whose streets are rammed with earth, Chaiwan Town is probably because of the Ye family's relationship, the streets are covered with bluestone strips , the houses are all green brick huts, which look quite Jiangnan style from a distance!
The current patriarch of the Ye family is Master Ye Wu, Ye Minghou.

The father of the fifth master Ye Minghou and the deceased old master were cousin brothers, and he was also the patriarch of the Ye family when the old master Ye was alive!In other words, Ye Minghou can be regarded as inheriting his father's career!

Ye Ming has three sons and three daughters under his knees, among which the eldest son Ye Yan and the third son Ye Chen are the descendants of the patriarch's wife Xiang, and the others are all descendants.

The Ye family is a big family. Although in Ye Minghou's generation, the descendants are relatively withered, but there are still a hundred or eighty people in the family.
