Ye Chengli came back today and was praised everywhere. He was very happy and planned to praise Ye Qinglan. But she said something like this. It would be strange for Ye Chengli to be happy after hearing this.
Ye Qinglan looked at Ye Chengli gratefully and moved, with tears in her big eyes, and said with choked sobs: "Thank you father for being considerate of your daughter. My daughter has also heard a lot of rumors these days, and she has been feeling very uncomfortable..." As he said,
Two tears slowly fell from the corners of his eyes, looking helpless and pitiful.
Mr. Xue secretly thought something was wrong.
Sure enough, Ye Chengli looked over with displeasure: "Why did you let these words reach Sister Lan's ears? She is still young and has a delicate temperament, how can she withstand such gossip!"
Mr.
My heart is completely focused on Ye Qinglan...
Ye Qinglan hurriedly wiped away her tears with her sleeves and took the initiative to defend Mr. Xue: "My father wrongly blamed my mother for saying this. In the past month, my mother has been ordering the cook and the embroiderer to teach me cooking skills in order to prevent me from thinking wildly.
Nühong, my mother personally taught me the skills of accounting and housekeeping. My daughter is grateful to her mother for her careful teaching from the bottom of her heart. Although she is a bit busy, my daughter has really learned a lot!"
...everything is obviously praising Mr. Xue, but why does it always sound a little weird?
Ye Chengli glanced at Mr. Xue, whose expression was changing, and then asked: "Sister Lan, are you too tired to study so much every day?"
Ye Qinglan is well versed in the skills of complaining. She does not directly criticize Xue, but always speaks good things for Xue: "I am a little tired, but what my mother said makes sense. My second sister and I are not young anymore. If we don't take advantage of
If you learn more about how to be close to yourself now, you will be disliked by your husband's family if you marry him in the future. Second sister, don't you think so?"
"Having said that, it's really hard." Ye Qingfu has suffered so much these days. She has long been full of complaints. After hearing this, she immediately stretched out her hand to complain: "Father, look, my hands are full of pain again."
The blisters are wounds from being poked by needles, and it hurts so much when touched. My mother didn't let us rest. She learned cooking every morning, women's training in the afternoon, and accounting in the evening. I was almost exhausted..."
Mr. Xue's face turned dark when he heard this. He coughed heavily.
Ye Qingfu took a rare opportunity to complain. She kept talking and couldn't stop at all. She continued without even looking at Mr. Xue: "That's all. My mother will give me extra-curricular tasks every day."
And Third Sister, if we don't finish it the next day, we will be scolded severely. Compared to Third Sister, I finally have more time. Third Sister still has to find time to practice piano every day!"
Ye Qinglan was very happy when she heard this. Ye Qingfu was really cooperative. She just raised her head and she said it as if she were pouring beans through a bamboo tube! This kind of effect is much better than complaining with snot and tears.
Ye Chengli's face really darkened. If Xue treated his biological daughter like this, let alone how he would treat Ye Qinglan...
Mrs. Xue was so angry that her blood surged, and she glared at Ye Qingfu fiercely: "Thank you for having the nerve to say it. After the New Year, you will be fifteen, you have no cooking skills, and the female celebrity is mediocre. You can't even embroider a purse.
Okay. You can fall asleep in the middle of reading the account. With a temperament like yours, it will be strange not to be disliked when you marry into your husband's family in the future! I am more demanding on you now, and it is not all for your own good."
This defense was obviously meant for Ye Chengli.
Ye Chengli's tense expression actually softened a bit, but he still said: "Even so, we have to pay attention to the balance between work and rest. If they are really tired and sick, it will be more loss than gain." After a pause, he said: "Let's do this.
! Starting from tomorrow, each course will only be practiced for one hour. In the morning, I will practice cooking skills and learn to read accounts. In the evening, there will be no homework."
This way, it will be much easier than before.
Ye Qingfu suddenly beamed with joy, and Ye Qinglan felt comfortable all over. Xue was very unhappy, but since Ye Chengli opened her mouth, she could only reluctantly agree.
Having finished talking about the trivial matters, Ye Chengli asked about Hongxiao again: "How come you haven't seen Hongxiao since you came back?"
As soon as the red silk was mentioned, Ms.
Have a good rest in the house. If you are worried, I might as well go to the Hung Hom house and have a look first."
The last sentence was purely for the occasion. Logically speaking, on the first night after Ye Chengli came back, he should rest in the house of her, the head wife, no matter what.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chengli actually nodded: "That's fine, I'm going to see the red silk now. If I have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
Mr. Xue: "..."
After Ye Chengli left, Mr. Xue's face darkened.
Ye Qinglan resigned and left without saying a word. Ye Qingfu was a step too late and was forced to face Mrs.
You can slip away so quickly and leave me alone, woo woo...
The next morning, Ye Qingfu had big dark circles under her eyes, like eggplants beaten by frost.
Ye Qinglan held back her laughter and said with concern: "Didn't my mother scold you yesterday?"
Ye Qingfu looked at Ye Qinglan with tears in her eyes: "After scolding me for half an hour, I didn't even dare to raise my head. In the end, my mother's voice became hoarse after scolding me, and she repeatedly scolded me for being a heartless person.
Wolf. I'm really worried that she will continue to scold me when she sees me today..."
"It's really pitiful." Ye Qinglan resisted the urge to burst into laughter and comforted her with a sympathetic face: "Don't take it to heart because my mother said it out of anger. I guess after last night, my mother's anger has almost disappeared.
I will definitely not scold you again today."
I hope so! Ye Qingfu let out a long sigh.
Ye Chengli went to the Ministry of Personnel early in the morning. It was the time for the assessment of hundreds of officials at the end of the year. Officials kept coming in and out of the Office of the Ministry of Personnel, which was very busy. Ye Chengli waited for a long time before being received by the head of the Ministry of Personnel. He gave a routine report on his work.
After the interrogation, there will be follow-up investigations and performance assessments, and finally the official assessment will be determined. When the results come out, it will be after the year.
When he came out of the butler's office, even though it was a cold day, beads of sweat appeared on Ye Chengli's forehead, and he greeted the familiar faces waiting in line outside one by one.
At this moment, the figure of a slender and elegant young man came into view.
Ye Chengli was stunned, not knowing how to react. In terms of official position, he should step forward and say hello. But in terms of status, he is the elder. Besides, how can any future father-in-law take the initiative to say hello to his son-in-law?
reason……
While Ye Chengli was hesitating, the handsome young man in a third-grade official uniform had already walked over with a smile, and naturally bowed to the younger generation: "My nephew has met my uncle."
...after a while, it will be "a good son-in-law meets his father-in-law".
Ye Chengli and Gu Xinian thought at the same time, and then Ye Chengli smiled easily and politely: "Hurry up and get rid of the gift, it is the end of the year, the household department must be very busy, how come you have time to come to the official department.
"
Of course, I’m here to connect with my future father-in-law!
Gu Xinian thought secretly in his heart, but a polite smile appeared on his handsome face: "I originally came to see Shangshu Xie for some official business, but I didn't expect to meet my uncle by chance. It happened to be almost noon. It's better to meet by chance than to invite you. Today at noon and
Let my nephew be my host, and I hope my uncle will show my respect."
Ye Chengli hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Ye Chengli is no longer an inexperienced boy. In fact, he knows exactly what today's "accidental encounter" is about. Of course, he can act like a future father-in-law and decline the invitation... However, such an outstanding and outstanding person
The son-in-law was really satisfying. Therefore, Ye Chengli decided to go to the appointment.
The two were just in-laws in a roundabout way. They had met a few times and exchanged a few pleasantries, but they were not really familiar with each other. However, with Gu Xinian's subtle approach and overtures, the two chatted for a while.
The atmosphere is quite harmonious when it comes to things like church and government affairs.
As the conversation progressed, Ye Chengli couldn't help but be secretly moved by Gu Xinian's sophisticated and vicious eyes and shrewd and sharp words. He originally planned to ask Gu Xinian a few indirect questions about him and Ye Qinglan, but now he couldn't care less.
, and focused on discussing political affairs with Gu Xinian.
The dishes were exquisite, the wine was mellow, and the conversation was very interesting. This lunch can be regarded as a feast for the host and the guest.
After eating, drinking, and chatting happily, it was time to leave.
Ye Chengli hesitated for a moment and was about to ask something when he heard Gu Xinian say with a smile: "I wonder if uncle intends to stay in the capital and serve?"
Ye Chengli's eyes lit up, and his tone became a little more urgent unconsciously: "Of course I want to stay, but the assessment in the past few years has always been B-level, I'm afraid it will not be easy to find a good official position."
Gu Xinian smiled: "Logically speaking, Uncle Chang Yuan and his two uncles are busy with this matter, so there is no need for my nephew to do anything. However, my nephew happens to be very familiar with Xie Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel. I can give you a call."
There's no problem in saying hello. If my uncle wants to stay in the capital, I have some acquaintances in the six movies, but I don't know which movie my uncle would like, so my nephew can help me."
The words were said in an understatement, but the meaning revealed in the words made Ye Chengli very excited. It was like he could choose from six movies! This is much more positive and enthusiastic than his father's attitude! Having a good son-in-law is really a blessing.
What a pleasant thing!
However, each of the six films has its own pros and cons, and I can’t decide which department is better for me at the moment... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
