After Time Travel, I Married the Heroine and Her Brother - Chapter 54

Guogong Mansion.

Everyone has already been waiting in the hall.

Except for Dafang and his family, there are three and four other concubines.

The two concubines of the Wen family are both worthless and rarely mentioned. The third child’s surname is Wen and his name is Jian. He married a wife named Zhang and has two sons and a daughter. The fourth son, surnamed Wen, was named Xiao, married his wife Li, and had three daughters and two sons. Everyone in the two rooms looked cowardly, either sitting upright or standing restlessly, and for a long time they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

Wen Guogong looked unpredictable and said nothing.

Mrs. Wen looked out the door from time to time, seeming a little worried. “Brother Yu and Pingniang must be tired, and they don’t know what’s going on today? There are no elders in the house to help and advise, so it’s hard for them to do everything themselves.”

“Mother, grandma is their direct elder. It would be rude not to come to offer tea yesterday, and everyone has waited for them for a whole day. At this hour today, they have not come. Grandma is still sick, even if they didn’t come to offer tea, Then you should come here early to say hello to grandma.” Wen Ruyu remained dignified, and what she said was polite and well-founded, without being too biased. No one knows the fire in her heart, she can’t wait to burn the person she hates to the ground.

“Your second elder brother is a man, and a man’s heart is always negligent. Pingniang… I’m afraid no one has taught her these etiquettes, so she didn’t think too much. Don’t worry, the Duke, I thought they should be together. On the way.”

This means that Wen Yu is ignorant and Ye Ping is ignorant of etiquette.

Wen Guogong’s face became darker, and his lips tightened.

At this time, a woman came in to report in a hurry, saying that the king and concubine of the county had already entered the mansion, and they had gone directly to the old lady’s yard.

Mrs. Wen’s complexion changed slightly, and she stood up hastily.

“These two children didn’t know what to do when they came here. Why did they go to their mother without making a sound? The mother is still sick, what if they are disturbed? Grandpa, wait a little longer if you are troubled, I will go over and have a look.”

With that said, she walked out worriedly.

Over there, Wen Yu and Ye Ping had already arrived at Mrs. Wen’s Yixin Hall. They first let the girls outside to inform them, and then waited quietly outside.

After a while, Mother Tian came out.

“The old lady drank the medicine and just fell asleep. Why don’t the king and princess sit in the side hall?”

“No, we’ll just wait outside.”

Wen Yu didn’t move, and Ye Ping couldn’t sit and wait alone.

Nanny Tian didn’t dare to say more in front of Wen Yu. Like her old lady, she was afraid of and disliked this second young master. Even if you stand closer, you can feel the murderous aura on the opponent.

Yesterday, the second son and his wife didn’t come to offer tea, the old lady was very angry. Serving tea to the elders on the second day of marriage is a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years. Even if they live in separate houses, the old lady is also the grandmother of the second son’s direct relative. How can a grandson not serve tea to his grandmother when he gets married? This is unfilial.

She bowed her head and waited aside, complaining a lot in her heart.

Ye Ping looked around the yard with the attitude of a tourist.

The style and layout of this courtyard is antique, the upper and lower lintels are carved with auspicious patterns, and the sparrows on both sides of the pillars are exquisite and gorgeous. Whether it is the house or the yard, it has the kind of simple and heavy accumulated over the years.

“The king of the county knows how much I envied sister Ruyu before.”

As soon as she opened her mouth, Wen Yu’s eyebrows moved slightly.

“I envy my sister Ruyu to have the best grandmother in the world. She is of noble birth, speaks elegantly, treats people kindly and loves the younger generation. What is even more rare is that the grandmother stands with sister Ruyu, not like a grandparent, but like a mother and daughter.” .”

When Mother Tian heard this, her eyelids twitched for some reason. The old lady was not actually asleep, she was awake at this moment. She knew that the old lady was standing behind the window and must have heard these words.

The second young lady said such words, did she guess that the old lady was not asleep, and deliberately said it to the old lady? If this is the case, it should not be underestimated. It’s just that from looking at it before, he wasn’t a very scheming person, maybe it was just a mistake.

After Ye Ping sighed, she suddenly rejoiced, “Now sister Ruyu’s grandmother has become my grandmother. A loving person like my grandmother will definitely treat me as she treats sister Ruyu. In the future, when I go out with my grandmother as guests, others will also They will think that we are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, not grandparents.”

She was talking to herself with a rich expression, but she didn’t look up at the man beside her. It’s one thing for this person to know that she’s a **** and green tea, but it’s another thing for her not to have a guilty conscience.

Nanny Tian’s eyelids twitched more and more, and she secretly glanced at the window where her old lady was standing.

Wen Yu was still as motionless as a mountain, but the corner of his mouth was bent.

This little liar, if he really wants to coax someone, he will rarely miss it.

Ye Ping had been watching Nanny Tian’s reaction when she spoke just now, and she saw Nanny Tian’s sneak peek at the window. It made sense, thinking that Mrs. Wen was standing behind the window, listening to them all the time.

“Grandma is well maintained. I can see that there is not even a silver thread on her head. You said that if I ask her for advice on health preservation, would she be willing to teach me?” She asked Wen Yu cautiously.

Wen Yu lowered his eyes and glanced at her inexplicably.

Her heart was beating wildly, and she wondered if she had acted too much?

“Am I being too wishful thinking? Grandma may not like me… No, no. How could a loving and kind person like grandma not like her granddaughter-in-law? Duke, don’t you think so?”

This little liar really just opened his mouth.

That’s all, let her torment.

“Grandmother has always been sympathetic to the younger generation.”

When Ye Ping heard this, she smiled happily.

“I knew that my grandmother is the best grandmother in the world. I think she will love me as much as my younger sister Ruyu. I can’t wait to see my grandmother. I want to offer tea and kowtow to her, and I will be filial to her in the future.”

Nanny Tian’s eyelids stopped twitching, but her heart was beating violently. The old lady wanted to give the second young master and his wife a bad blow, but who would have thought that the second young lady was so talkative.

She was careful and said she was going in to see if the old lady was awake. As soon as I entered the room, I saw my master sitting in front of the mirror looking left and right, with a very happy expression.

“Madam, should we let them in?”

Mrs. Wen gave an “um”, and seemed to be in a good mood. She was nearly eighty years old, but whoever saw her would say that she looked less than sixty. Others at this age already have snow-colored hair, but she really doesn’t even have a single silver thread.

In fact, there are, but the white hair that came out was removed by the woman who combed the hair. Mrs. Wen has always selectively forgotten these small things.

Nanny Tian felt a “thump” in her heart, and went out to invite Wen Yu and Ye Ping with a complicated mood.

As soon as Ye Ping entered the door, she first wanted to go forward happily, and then stood upright as if she had thought of something. When the servants prepared the tea, she served it respectfully, her eyes full of admiration.

“Granddaughter-in-law pays respects to grandma, may grandma be in good health and prosper in prosperity.”

Mrs. Wen let her dry for a while, and then drank tea in a dignified and dignified manner. The meeting gift is a green jade bracelet, which is also a high-quality product in terms of color.

With such a noble family, no one can make mistakes in the ceremony.

Ye Ping was very satisfied, and said in her heart that she got another sum of money.

“Grandma, I heard that you are sick, but are you better?”

“It’s an old problem, don’t get in the way.”

Tian Nanny spoke at the right time, “The old lady didn’t sleep well last night, and the doctor said it was worse than before. Today the king and princess of the county came over, and the old lady was happy, and she seemed to be more energetic.”

The implication is that Mrs. Wen was seriously ill because of their anger. If they are filial children and grandchildren, they should take the initiative to take care of the sick, maybe Mrs. Wen’s illness will be cured.

Ye Ping didn’t seem to understand the deep meaning in these words, her face was full of excitement, “Grandmother, can granddaughter-in-law come to attend to the sick?”

This was Mrs. Wen’s intention.

It’s just that this bitch… Mrs. Ye was so happy that she was at a loss.

When Ye Ping was excited, her eyes turned a little red. “The granddaughter-in-law knew that the grandmother loved the younger generation the most. As soon as the granddaughter-in-law got married, the grandmother deliberately let the granddaughter-in-law take care of the sick. It was clear that she wanted the granddaughter-in-law to have a good reputation.”

Mrs. Wen was dumbfounded, she didn’t think so at all. If this Mrs. Ye is really allowed to serve the sick, no matter what the inside is, the reputation will indeed spread.

“Grandmother is in good health, so there’s no need for you to be troubled. You just need to take good care of Brother Yu and take care of the inner house for him.”

“…Grandmother, you are really the best grandmother in the world. How can grandson-in-law He De marry the county king, and meet such a reasonable grandmother who loves the younger generation like you.”

Mrs. Wen was held back by these words, she was unreasonable, but she had to be reasonable. For a moment, she couldn’t tell whether she was angry or happy.

When Mrs. Wen came in, she obviously felt that the atmosphere was good.

She suppressed the doubts in her heart and looked relieved.

“You guys are here. Your grandmother has been looking forward to it since yesterday.”

In a word, Mrs. Wen frowned.

That’s right, it’s simply unfilial for these two ignorant things not to come to offer tea to her grandmother on the second day of their wedding. What happened to her just now, why did she drink tea so easily and gave her a meeting gift?

“Auntie, we were supposed to come here yesterday, but thinking that grandma is still sick, I’m afraid it will be too late and disturb her rest.” Ye Ping first looked guilty, and then showed a little shame. “Grandmother loves the younger generation and thinks of us in every way. I am very grateful. I have a relationship with the Wen family. I was favored by my aunt in the past, and I was fortunate enough to be a guest in the Duke’s mansion. Otherwise, how could I have such a blessing? How could I be a member of the Wen family?” Granddaughter-in-law.”

Mrs. Wen frowned even deeper. After all, it was because of the kindness of the elder daughter-in-law that Mrs. Ye was able to marry into their Wen family.

Being kind is good, but being too kind is not good.

Mrs. Wen still looked gentle and kind, and said: “You child, you are a family now, and you still say these things. In fact, you are lucky. If it weren’t for your heart-pleasing Brother Yu, how could there be such a thing?” Such a good marriage.”

“What my aunt said is very true. I am the most blessed person. To be able to marry the county king and become the princess of the county, and to meet elders like my grandmother, no one will say that I am blessed.”

“It would be great if you could think that way. Your grandmother is not in good health recently. If you have time, come and see her.”

“I can save it. My grandmother and my aunt are doing it for my own good. They are afraid that I will not be able to stand up when I just married. They intend to make me a good name so that I can be able to hold people down in the future. No wonder people in the world exaggerate my aunt. It turns out that there is such a grandmother. A good mother-in-law. The ancients said that one daughter is prosperous for three generations, and I want to talk about her grandmother. Grandma has a lot of blessings. She has good sons like uncle and father, and good grandsons like elder brother and county king. She can be called an old man in all the houses in Beijing A model among men.”

Mrs. Wen is very useful. When she married into the Duke’s mansion, she was a red makeup. In the second year of marriage, she gave birth to Rong’er, who was firmly seated as the Duke’s wife.

As soon as the eldest daughter-in-law came in, she delegated authority, and there was no good mother-in-law like her in the entire Yongchang City. Her Rong’er is clean and self-sufficient, he doesn’t even have a common house, and Wang’s being able to marry into their Wen’s family is like a high incense in his previous life.

This Mrs. Ye’s speech is quite pleasant, and he doesn’t look so annoying.

Mrs. Wen smiled, with a thoughtful look in her eyes, this child is really different.

“Look at this little mouth, it’s getting better and better at talking.” She looked at Wen Yu with relief, “Brother Yu is cold-tempered, and we can rest assured that you will take care of us in the future.”

Wen Yu didn’t say anything, just glanced at Ye Ping.

This one glance is enough to let everyone know what he means.

Mrs. Wen smiled more and more relieved, and said to Mrs. Wen: “Mother was worried before, but you see that she is not doing well now. My daughter-in-law feels happy when she sees this young couple.”

Mrs. Wen didn’t like Wen Yu, and felt that the second grandson was too evil, so she gave a calm “hmm” when she heard the words. Even though she doesn’t like the second grandson, she has to admit that the second grandson and Mrs. Ye stand together, and they are indeed a good match in appearance.

“Pingniang is a likable person. If she can come to the mansion to sit with mother for a while every day in the future, I think mother’s health will recover faster.” Madam Wen said with emotion.

When Mrs. Wen heard what the eldest daughter-in-law said, she remembered her original plan again. She was fooled by such a thing before, which messed up the matter of the sickness. It was Mrs. Wang who was appropriate, and came back with a few words. If Mrs. Ye was filial, she would not refuse no matter what. If she disrespects her elders, she has something to say.

Ye Ping thought, what a small sit, it is clear that she is here to serve the sick. If she really came to serve Ji, she dared to say that Mrs. Wen would treat her like a girl. The point is that this job is thankless, and there are a lot of unspeakable difficulties waiting for her.

“If grandma doesn’t dislike her, granddaughter-in-law would love to come to bother her every day. Granddaughter-in-law is the first to marry a county king, and many people don’t know the etiquette of human relations. If grandma can teach her every day, others will no longer be able to find reasons for granddaughter-in-law in the future.”

If she is still challenged, it is because Mrs. Wen, the grand-grandmother, has not taught her well. Mrs. Wen can dig holes, and she can do even more. It depends on who dug the deepest pit and who buried whom in the end.

Mrs. Wen’s heart just felt relieved, but she felt a little depressed again. Shouldn’t Mrs. Ye come to serve Ji? Why did you come to ask her for advice? But she can’t say no to teaching, after all, the second grandson is still there, so she has to be considerate. In my heart, I complained that the eldest daughter-in-law was troublesome. Didn’t it be agreed before that she would not be sick by Mrs. Ye, so as not to upset her.

She actually forgot that she deliberately made things difficult for Ye Ping from the very beginning, and wanted Ye Ping to serve her sick. Just now I thought that my eldest daughter-in-law spoke and acted properly, but changed her mind in a blink of an eye.

The so-called old and young, the same face-changing like flipping a book.

Wen Yu and Ye Ping stayed for a while before leaving.

Mrs. Wen sent them out, saying that Duke Wen had been waiting for a long time.

Although Ye Ping was a frequent visitor to the Duke’s mansion before, she had never met Duke Wen. Wen Guogong is a dignified man, and he doesn’t often appear in front of the world. There were so many people and things going on last night, she didn’t see the other person’s appearance clearly. Seeing him today, Xindao was indeed the number one son of the capital in those days. Even in his sixtieth year, his demeanor is still far superior to others.

Wen Guogong obviously didn’t like her, maybe because of Wen Yu’s face, he didn’t say anything. It’s just that ignoring attitude is really uncomfortable.

The meeting gift he gave was a jade pendant, and the quality of the jade was also of high quality. Mrs. Wen gave her a hairpin inlaid with gold and jade, which was extremely beautiful and gorgeous.

The two concubines who came out of the concubine came to go through the motions, and after seeing the ceremony, they all resigned wisely. The meeting gifts they gave were not considered expensive, and Ye Ping didn’t think much of it, so Sanxi kept them all.

After seeing the elders, then the peers get to know each other.

She knew Wen Tingzhi before, she looked like Mrs. Wen, and she was also a handsome man. When outsiders mentioned this prince of the Duke’s Mansion, they all praised him as being humble, courteous and approachable. The son of an aristocratic family has built up momentum since he was a child. If the reputation spread has nothing to do with talent and ability, it can be seen how mediocre he is. But the wood inlaid with gold is still shining golden, which will still make countless people envy and pursue it.

Wen Ruyu seemed to be in the same place, and called her second sister-in-law without any grievances.

Ye Ping smiled like a crescent moon, “Sister Ruyu, I didn’t expect that we really became a family.”

“Sister Ruyu” sounded provocative to Wen Ruyu’s ears. A poor family settled down, and once a pheasant turned into a phoenix, she actually became her second sister-in-law.

“Second sister-in-law is happy with second brother. Now that she has got her wish, she must be happy in her heart. I am really happy for second sister-in-law and also for second brother.”

How could the second brother be happy after marrying such a wife with a low family background and a bad reputation.

Ye Ping made a shy look at the right time, but there was a look of pride in her eyes.

“This is a marriage bestowed by His Majesty, the county king is of course happy.”

Wen Yu couldn’t express his emotions or anger, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Mrs. Wen smiled a little forcedly and unnaturally, and looked at Duke Wen helplessly, as if she felt guilty and blamed herself. Wen Guogong’s face became more and more worried, and he was even more displeased with Ye Ping.

Within half an hour, Wen Yu and Ye Ping left.

Ye Ping came empty-handed and returned with a full load. She calculated her small coffers, and the more she calculated, the happier she became. Don’t mention how satisfied I am with so many things in one day.

When he was about to leave the mansion, Wen Ruyu chased him out, saying that he had something to say to Ye Ping.

“Sister Ruyu, your second brother and I are already husband and wife, so it’s okay if you have something to say.”

Wen Ruyu was a little embarrassed, as if what she wanted to say was inconvenient for Wen Yu to hear.

“Second sister-in-law, what I want to talk about is the past.”

It seems that Ye Ping was so shameless before.

Ye Ping was amused, and took a few steps to the side, she wanted to see what other tricks Wen Ruyu had.

“Sister Ruyu, tell me what you want.”

Wen Ruyu seemed afraid of what Wen Yu would hear, so she lowered her voice and said, “Second sister-in-law, do you still remember when we went to Zhuangzi to play last year? You and Mr. Qi hit it off right away, talking about poetry and fighting against each other. In the end you still fell behind. I took a piece of veil, and after searching all over to no avail, I had to give up.”

Mr. Qi?

Ye Ping remembered.

It was the drunkard, the last straw that crushed the original owner.

It was right to talk about poems and write poems at first sight, it was Wen Ruyu’s suggestion to tease Mr. Qi, and the original owner volunteered to talk to him. Therefore, the personal belongings of the original owner that Mr. Qi advertised everywhere turned out to be a handkerchief.

“Mr. Qi, I have some impressions of this person. As for the poems you mentioned, why don’t I know about them? It’s not Ruyu sister, you said that you don’t like people who are so rich and jaded, let me teach him a lesson. ?”

“It’s fine if the second sister-in-law doesn’t remember, these things are not important. The important thing is that the second sister-in-law’s handkerchief seems to be picked up by Mr. Qi, what should I do?”

Wen Ruyu said she was lowering her voice, but she was actually just putting on a show. If her voice is low, the world’s conversations can be called whispering.

Ye Ping suddenly laughed.

“Sister Ruyu hastily brought up this matter, is she hoping that the county king will have a grudge against me?”

“Second sister-in-law, you misunderstood me. If I had such thoughts, would I still avoid my second brother?”

It’s better to cover it up like this than to say it openly.

Ye Ping smiled slightly, “Wen Ruyu, did I tell you that you can’t beat me.”

Wen Ruyu’s face froze slightly, “Second sister-in-law, I can’t understand what you said. I’m doing it for your own good…”

“Junwang.” Ye Ping suddenly changed his face, and walked towards Wen Yu with his face covered, “Sister Ruyu just said that Mr. Qi picked up my handkerchief, can you help me get the handkerchief back?”

Wen Yu didn’t ask anything, and replied with a good word.
