The morning sun had just emerged over the mountains. On the tree-lined path outside Jiangling City, a warm yellow carriage was galloping slowly. Cursing voices came from the carriage from time to time:
"The high school master of the Ye family has become the new county magistrate of our Jiangling City. His bitch mother-in-law is afraid that our Hua family will not know the news. A few days ago, when Mr. Ye returned home, he deliberately detoured to our Shangliang Village to greet him in the county with gongs and drums.
, ah, look at how proud she is, it’s really unlucky, look at how I’m going to control her mother and son today, I’m going to have to kill this stinky bitch with money.”
Meng Yutang cursed and fondled the black box in his arms.
Hua Shiyu, who was standing next to her, frowned when she heard this: "Mom, you already want to get married, but why are you so dirty in your mouth? If Young Master Ye hears this, how can he agree to marry me again?"
"Yes, yes, I just didn't think well enough."
Meng Yutang also felt that he should no longer be prejudiced against the Ye family's wife. Seeing that he was about to enter Xialiang Village, he quickly softened his tone:
"Girl, you have to fight for my mother this time. It took a lot of effort for my mother to get your grandmother to withdraw from the marriage between that bitch in the sixth room and the Ye family. It's only because Erlang of the Dou family is useless.
You're a waste, you just don't know how to restrain yourself at home, but when you get to our house, you don't know how to control yourself, and let others take advantage of you. I think this time the Dou family will probably not be able to keep people."
"The most I can do is let that little bitch go back to being a widow. How can my useless Uncle Six support her and make the decision?"
Hua Shiyu curled her lips in disdain, but thinking about going to the Meng family with her mother in the morning to borrow a carriage to ask for money, she felt unhappy:
"I don't know what my grandfather thinks. There is no distinction between closeness and distance. My mother-in-law is his flesh and blood. Why is he always looking towards my uncle? Is it possible that he will point to a adopted son he picked up to support him in his old age in the future?"
She glanced at the box in her mother's arms and pursed her lips in dissatisfaction: "The marriage to the Ye family is a lifelong event for the daughter, and my grandfather is not willing to prepare more money. The Ye family is now different from what it used to be. Mr. Ye
What will happen if you don't like the money after becoming a county magistrate?"
"They are just the same low-income people as your sixth uncle. They are just a small county magistrate, and they are not a noble person in the capital. What's wrong with him?"
Meng Yutang patted her shoulder confidently: "Don't worry, the one hundred taels of gold prepared by your grandfather is enough to solve the urgent needs of the Ye family. Mr. Ye has a lot of money to make when he takes office as a new official."
While the two were talking, the carriage had stopped at the door of the Ye family's old house, and the mother and daughter immediately stopped talking.
...
In the middle of the quiet and deep courtyard of the Ye family, a tall and handsome figure sat quietly next to the river pond.
The morning sun and lotus flowers set off each other, and the mist-like light in the lotus pond occasionally ripples on that quiet and flawless white handsome face, making the whole courtyard look a bit gentle and comfortable.
"Stop looking, stop looking. Hurry up and ask Ting An to come in and have breakfast so you can rush to the county government office. There will be a lot for you to see when you get to the government office."
A soft woman's voice came, and the young man slowly put away the file in his hand, and his lips as beautiful as cherry blossoms twisted slightly: "Okay."
"You said that before you even took office, you let the yamen officers arrest so many people. Those who don't know would think that our family has some deep grudge against these people and you are eager to take revenge."
The woman came over with the cooked food and put it on the table. Looking at her son who looked tired, she couldn't help but frowned and sighed: "Cheng Wei, becoming an official is not something that happens overnight. You have to behave yourself."
Take your time, don't imitate your..."
At this point, the woman's voice suddenly stopped and she did not continue.
Ye Chengguan put the file in his hand on the stone table, spread out his slender fingers and gently grasped the calloused palm of his mother Qin Wanrou, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I have sense."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the book boy Ting An coming in, sweating, and reporting: "Madam, Master, I have already harnessed the carriage from the county government office and just met people from the Hua family at the door. They said...
You have brought generous gifts to congratulate your master on high school, but do you want to invite them in?"
"Flower family?"
Ye Chengwei's starry eyes twinkled, and his sword eyebrows slightly frowned: "Which flower family?"
Ting'an replied: "Oh, it's the Hua family where the master was engaged to the young master when he was still alive."
"These shameless people used to say they had no future, but now they see your high school son coming to fawn over you again. It's really disgusting to see you so early in the morning."
Qin Wanrou angrily looked for a broom in the yard and rushed out: "It's destiny to be ugly in life, it doesn't matter, but if your heart is also ugly, it's just a mistake. Look, I won't fight today."
Break their legs."
"Why does mother need to be acquainted with these people?"
Ye Chengguan stopped Qin Wanrou and helped her sit down at the stone table.
Then he slowly went to the house to get a small bronze mirror and handed it to Ting'an. He gestured to him: "It's not easy for people to come all the way, so don't let them come in and suffer."
Ting'an was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the young master's intention, and went out happily.
"Mom, please eat quickly. I have to rush to the county government office after dinner."
...
When Ting'an went out, he glanced at the Hua family's mother and daughter with some disgust. After handing the bronze mirror into their hands, he turned around and returned to the yard without saying a word.
Meng Yutang and Hua Shiyu waited outside the Ye family's old house for a long time for news of their entry, but they only saw a mirror, and they were both confused.
Seeing that the book boy had turned back, Meng Yutang shouted anxiously: "Hey, we are here to give money to your young master, why doesn't your wife come out to greet you?"
But the book boy turned a deaf ear and disappeared from sight.
"Mother, they...what do they mean?"
Hua Shiyu held up the mirror and looked back and forth: "I've never seen someone give a mirror as a token of love, but... this mirror is quite pretty."
Looking at the shaking figure in the mirror, Meng Yutang seemed to understand something, and suddenly became furious.
He grabbed the mirror fiercely, pulled her back into the carriage, and while urging the coachman back to the city, he yelled at his daughter:
"It's all because of you that you are so unsatisfactory. You are usually greedy and don't know how to restrain yourself. People think you are ugly and look down on you. Look at that little bitch in the sixth room. Who can't think of something wrong when he sees you?
You're useless, you have to let me worry about everything for you."
Hua Shiyu suddenly understood after being scolded by her mother, and she pursed her lips in grievance: "How can you blame me? My grandfather said that my mother and I were born with the same virtue, but this can at least prove that we are biological children. Look at my cousin, the little goblin, all over her body.
There is no trace of him that looks like Uncle Six's. Maybe it's someone's wild seed that Aunt Six had with before."
"Your sixth uncle is doing his duty and is not stupid. If that bitch of your sixth aunt is pregnant with someone else's child, how can he get married and bring her home?"
Thinking of all the people who came to Ye's house just to be rejected, Meng Yutang's face darkened with anger: "What's the point of talking about it now? I have to go back to your grandmother as soon as possible. As long as she doesn't let go, Ru Jin will die."
Is it possible that this girl can go to the court and make trouble on her own?"
Then he grinned sadly: "Don't say she doesn't have the ability. Even if she can go to court, she will have to drown in the spit of the litigants like Jiangling City."
After a few seconds of silence, a fierce look gradually appeared in her eyes: "What our second bedroom can't get, the sixth bedroom can't even dream of getting. Oh, you're the wife of the county magistrate. What kind of family background does she deserve? Let's have her spring and autumn dream."
Go ahead."
Having made up their minds, the mother and daughter hurried to Shangliang Village.
...
The sun gradually rose, and near the Jianglingcheng County Government Office, a smoky green carriage slowly stopped near a noodle stall.
Shu Jinxuan led Hua Rujin out of the carriage and found a corner in the noodle stall with a good view and sat down.
After ordering two bowls of noodles, two bowls of bean curd and two bowls of bean juice, Shu Jinxuan kept staring at his cousin quietly.
This girl has been silent since she came out of Hua's house, and she doesn't know what she is thinking about.
