Family Has a Concubine

Chapter 96: Dowry list (one more)

At this time, Ape ran out chuckingly: “Girl, my wife is awake.”

Ye Lingjiao glanced at Ye Yun coldly. She felt that there was nothing to say to him: “Sister Tang, let’s go!”

Ye Tangcai turned around and left with Ye Lingjiao without even looking at him.

When the two returned to the room, they saw Wen struggling to get up with Mother Cai’s body.

“Mother!” Ye Tangcai hurried over.

“Let’s go home!” Wen’s face turned pale and smiled miserably.

“Okay, I’ll let the groom bring the carriage over now, mother, you lie down first.” Ye Tangcai agreed, Qiuju cleverly, and already ran out.

Wen lay back on the bed and closed his eyes again, and soon there was a sound of a carriage driving into the courtyard. Mother Cai put Wen on her back and put it on the carriage.

Everyone was busy for a while, and the carriage had to leave.

Ye Yun watched them busy moving people into the car and other matters, but no one took care of himself. Seeing the carriage disappearing at the corner of the door, the whole person was in trouble.

The carriage walked for a quarter of an hour and stopped outside the Chuhua Gate of Jing’an Hou’s Mansion.

Ye Lingjiao asked her servants to carry the soft sedan chair and sent Wen directly back to the Rongguiyuan. He took the sign to the imperial hospital and asked the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor came over to check the pulse, said something similar to the doctor in the Baicao Medical Center, and then looked at the medicine prescribed by the doctor in the Baicao Medical Center. Only then went out.

On the Babu bed, the heavy curtains were hanging down, Wen was lying on the bed, eyes closed, but Ye Tangcai knew that she was not asleep.

Ye Tangcai sat down by the bed, and Ye Lingjiao and Madam Cai stood together.

“Mother… I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have let you pass.” Ye Tang Cai’s eyes flushed, tears in her big eyes.

“No…” Wen opened his eyes and smiled with a pale face: “Thank you, let me… see clearly and clearly, all these years, I have been thinking and guessing, so tired… Really tired! Now… no more guessing at his heart.”

He smiled bitterly as he said, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

“Madam, the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Let’s live clearly in the future, huh?” Madam Cai said with tears in her eyes.

“Yeah.” Wen said, choked out again.

I understand, I see clearly, my heart is dead, but my heart is still hurting, and I can’t stop tears. Everything can only be handed over to time.

Ye Tang Cai’s big stone was then let go.

I came to Songhua Alley today, first, to let her stupid brother see the true face of Yin Tingniang, and second, to let her see the true face of Ye Chengde.

In the end, the mother really saw it clearly, but in the end she vomited blood, which was really shocking. Ye Tangcai wondered if she had done something wrong.

Now hearing Wen’s words, Ye Tangcai finally felt relieved.

“Sister Tang, don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” Wen Shiqiang said with a smile, “Today’s turning over, I held it in my heart for a long, long time, and finally said it. I will live well! Don’t say anything else, just for the sake of it. This hatred, I must never die! When I die, isn’t it just to make room for the outer room? I will never let them get satisfied!”

“Yes, my wife is right to think that way.” Madam Cai agreed.

“Sister-in-law will only treat him as dead in the future, and all of us will stand by your side.” Ye Lingjiao said.

Ye Tangcai pursed her lips and lowered her eyes. In fact, she even hoped that her mother could reconcile with Ye Chengde.

“Madam, the medicine is ready.” Nian Qiao came in with a tray with a bowl of black medicine on it.

Ye Tang helped Wen to feed the medicine, and Wen closed his eyes and prepared to rest.

“Girl, the old lady has something to let you go over.” A little maid from Anning Hall came over.

Ye Lingjiao nodded, “Sister-in-law, Sister Tang, I’m leaving now.”

“Good.” Ye Tangcai nodded.

After Ye Lingjiao left, Ye Tangcai asked Nianqiao to take care of Wen, and she pulled Madam Cai in a low voice, “Mother, come with me.”

Mother Cai was taken aback, so she had to follow Ye Tangcai, and the two came to Xicijian.

“Mother, where is my mother’s dowry list?” Ye Tang Cai whispered.

“Dowry list?” Madam Cai frowned. “Why did the girl suddenly ask about this? The wife’s dowry list has disappeared many years ago.”

“Why didn’t you see it?” Ye Tangcai’s whole body is not good.

“Many years ago, when the girl had just got engaged, the wife was going to prepare the dowry for the girl, so she went to the small warehouse to count things, but didn’t want to find the dowry list. There is no list, naturally I can’t count it. I had to record it again by myself. share.”

“But that’s not the original.” Ye Tangcai’s face was pale, “Is there anything missing?”

“There are too many, no list, who can’t remember what was missing. However, I remember very deeply that it is true that a red flame blood jade bracelet was missing. When my wife was young, she was cold, and this bracelet was a big price for your grandmother. Collected for the wife, it has the effect of warming up and protecting the body. It is very valuable. After the wife was married, she kept wearing it. When the girl was seven or eight years old, she almost broke the bracelet, so she was reluctant to wear it again, thinking about leaving it to Girl, you are the dowry. So this bracelet was locked back to the small storeroom. The dowry list was missing at the time, but the girl still needs your dowry, so I went to look for the bracelet, but I couldn’t find it.”

Madam Cai said with a bitter look on her face: “I don’t know who was touched here! Later, the small warehouse was replaced by a heavy iron general. By the way, girl, what do you want to do with the dowry list?”

Ye Tang said: “When I was young, I didn’t have a period of time, and I especially liked playing in the warehouse?”

“Yes.” Mother Cai said, she sneered at Ye Tang Cai, “I don’t know how your little head turns, girl. Little girls like to chase butterflies and feed fish in the garden. You prefer to count wives in the storeroom. dowry.”

“Facts have proved that I was right when I was young.” Ye Tang smiled and said, “No, I have written down many things. A pair of furnace-jun eight-lens string vases and a white jade rabbit are both. It’s the mother’s dowry, but today, I saw it on Yin Tingniang’s blog.”

“You, what did you say?” Madam Cai exclaimed.

“Hush!” Ye Tangcai immediately covered her mouth, “Speak down, my mother is still resting.”

Grandma Cai was startled, and quickly turned around to look over the bedroom, only to see Nianqiao standing in the bead curtain of the bedroom, and did not look there. Mother Cai breathed a sigh of relief, then gritted her teeth again. That bastard, just keep the outside room, and take the wife’s stuff to fill that bitch!

“The girl really saw it clearly.” Mother Cai said anxiously.

“I can see it clearly, I can’t go wrong.” Ye Tangcai nodded, “How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Several things are the same as my mother’s, but Ye Chengde bought the permanent residence.”

“Good, good!” Mother Cai gritted her teeth and said bitterly: “Such a shameless thing, let’s talk to the old lady and the old lady, and see how he defends!”

The dowry is the private property of the woman’s family. Since it is the husband, it can’t be taken randomly. If you compare it carefully, it can be convicted. But generally such a thing is considered a family affair, and no one else will make a fuss.

Ye Tang Cai’s eyes flashed a cold light, and only said: “We want to fix them, but we have to have a dowry list, otherwise we will just open our mouths and say things are mothers, who will believe it?”

“We have lost the dowry list here, but this thing has a share. One is in the hands of the wife and the other is in the natal family. This is when the family members signed and pressed the printed list. I can’t afford it.” Cai Mother said.

“Since my grandfather’s family has a copy, when you disappeared the list, why didn’t you find the list at your grandfather’s house so that you could count things?” Ye Tang was puzzled.

“Naturally I went to find it. It was your grandmother who kept the dowry list, but at that time she was already paralyzed, and she could not move while lying on the bed, and could not even speak.” Madam Cai sighed slightly.

Ye Tang Cai is speechless, how bad luck is coming! “I’d better go to my grandparents’ house and ask!”

“Girl, mother, you have something to eat first!” Qiu Ju walked in, carrying a food container in her hand: “It’s already past noon now.”

“I forgot to be hungry, put it on quickly.” Ye Tangcai said anxiously. “While it’s still early, let’s go to Wen’s house.”

Qiuju was ready, and the food was placed on the round table in the small hall. Ye Tang picked it up and said, “Qiuju and Sister-in-law also sit down, let’s eat together.”

Grandma Cai sighed: “You have to prepare gifts when you go to your grandparents’ house. You eat, I’ll prepare something.”

“I’m thinking about what’s delicious outside, so I can buy it for my grandmother.” Ye Tangcai said.

“What to buy, we have ready-made here, wait.” Madam Cai said and went out of the house.

Ye Tangcai and Qiuju ate a few bites indiscriminately, and saw that Mother Cai came back.

Madam Cai took back a pot of tea and a set of dark blue swans-print clothes: “Your grandmother likes Dahongpao the most, and this dress is made by your wife herself, and is about to be sent to your grandmother! Now! The girl will send it on behalf of the wife!”

“Okay.” Ye Tang touched the dark blue swans-print jacket in her hand and sighed slightly. When she is free, she will also make a dress for her mother.

Of course, she also made things for Wen’s, and what she did was wipe her forehead. But Wen didn’t like to wear the forehead, Ye Tangcai didn’t want to force her to wear it, so she just did two and didn’t do it.

“Mother Cai, you say hello to grandma on my behalf, and I won’t go there.” Ye Tangcai said.

“Okay. There is Sister Ling over there, can the old lady care about this?” said Madam Cai.

Ye Tangcai asked Mother Cai to take good care of Wen, so she held her things and went out with Qiuju.

The carriage staggered down the street. Ye Tangcai sighed when he thought of his grandmother. It has been a long time since he married.

The Wen family was considered a scholar in the capital. He was an official for several generations. The most senior official was his maternal grandfather. At that time, his grandfather was Shangshu of the Ministry of Households. Unfortunately, he became an official and passed away ten years ago.

As soon as he passed away, the entire Wen family sank, but none of the descendants of the family could study. Nowadays, Nian worked hard for the dynasty in his maternal ancestors, and because of showing compassion to his ancestors, he gave Uncle Wen an extra official position as a five-rank official. The Wen family can be regarded as an official, but it is not as good as entering.

The two generations of the Wen family are thin, and Ye Tangcai has only one uncle and two aunts.

The carriage walked for about a quarter of an hour, and finally came to the east corner gate of Wen’s house. Ye Tang picked up the sign, and because he didn’t deliver the post in advance for today’s visit, the guard at the gate went in to report after receiving the sign.

After a while, the young man ran out and put the carriage into the door.

Ye Tangcai just got out of the car at Suihuamen and heard a giggle. Ye Tangcai looked up and saw that she was a beautiful girl with an orange-red apricot blossom collar skirt, who was Wen Lanya.

“Sister Tang is here.” Wen Lanya smiled and stepped forward, “I was in the house calculating the account in the kitchen this month. I received your sign when I didn’t want to, and came out to welcome you.”

“Cousin.” Ye Tangcai smiled forward and took her arm.

“Are you here to see grandmother?” Wen Lanya said.

“Yes.” The sisters crossed the threshold as they said.

Ye Tangcai saw that this was in the direction of Mrs. Wen’s yard, and said, “Shall we not go to see my aunt?”

“My mother went out early in the morning. Leave her alone, let’s see grandma.”

The two entered the Yimen, turned left, and walked for a short while, and they saw a courtyard with white walls and black tiles with the words Yongfuyuan written on the plaque.

The two stepped into the door and saw an old lady in her fifties who was in her fifties preparing flowers and plants. When they saw them, they screamed, stood up, and greeted them: “Isn’t this a cousin girl?” Hurry up, please hurry up!”

“Look at Madam Ping who is so happy.” Wen Lanya chuckled and laughed. “Just looking at Sister Tang, there is no me in her eyes.”

“Go, go, you come three times a day, I’m tired of seeing you.” Mother Ping joked.

Looking up at Ye Tangcai, I saw that the old girl who was a little proud and indulgent was as beautiful as before, with a unique beauty, but the long hair draped behind her was pulled back, adding a little mature charm and missing her marriage. That touch of wanton arrogance.

Thinking of Ye Tangcai’s marriage going into that way, I was very sad, only pulled Ye Tangcai’s hand, and smiled: “Cousin, please, I haven’t come for a long time, the old lady misses you strangely.”

Ye Tang’s eyes blushed. Her memory must remain at the time when she passed away in her previous life. After her previous life, she was trapped in the Zhang family for three or four years, and many people and things left her when she was young.

Self-reborn thought that there were too many things, and she didn’t have time to take a good look at the people who cared for her.

Sister Ping raised the curtains, and Sister Ye Tang and Wen Lanya walked in.

There was a slight smell of scent in the room, because my grandmother was paralyzed, even if Mother Ping waited for her to take care of her carefully, it would inevitably smell a little bit, and she couldn’t let it go even if she opened the window, she could only incense.

The three of them walked into the bedroom and saw a sixty or seventy-year-old woman lying on a recliner.

The old woman was fat, wrinkled, wearing a long black jacket with chrysanthemum pattern, and wearing a black brocade and silver silk inlaid white jade on her forehead. She was tilting her mouth, and when she saw Ye Tang pick it in, she yelled twice.

“Grandma.” Ye Tangcai hurried forward.

Old Mrs. Wen nodded and looked at her steadily.

Ye Tangcai said, “I have had a lot of things after I got married, but I forgot to come here. I went back to my natal house today, because something happened, so I remembered that I really should fight.”

Qiuju stepped forward, her clothes and a tea can in her hand.

Ye Tang said: “These are the clothes my mother made for my grandmother, and my grandmother’s favorite red robe, but I borrowed flowers to respect the Buddha.”

“It’s fine if you’re here.” Mother Ping smiled and took the clothes and the tea caddy, and touched the clothes: “My aunt is still good craftsmanship as always. The old lady wears her clothes most comfortably. They are often given away. Not too tired. Turning around and let your mother stay away from work, it doesn’t hurt your eyes.”

“Yeah.” Mrs. Wen nodded, then glanced around the chair.

Because Mrs. Wen was paralyzed, she usually stayed in the bedroom. People who came to visit her were all sitting here. So there were several chairs or stools beside Mrs. Wen for people to sit on.

“Cousin girl, the old lady asked you to sit down,” said Mother Ping.

Ye Tangcai picked up the embroidered pier closest to the old lady Wen and sat down. Mother Ping was smiling with her brows and eyes. Many of them felt that the old lady was paralyzed and didn’t want to sit close. So, both the eldest girl and the cousin are people who are willing to be close to the old lady.

Mother Ping handed the pot of big red bubble to the maid to make tea. Then he said: “Is the watch girl okay recently?”

Ye Tangcai knew that this was asking her about her married life. This was because she felt wronged, so she was worried. When I turned around, I saw old lady Wen looking at her sadly, and even my grandmother knew about it!

“Very good!” Ye Tangcai gently shook old lady Wen’s wrinkled hand, “When I am free, I will take him over and let my grandmother take a look. He looks pretty handsome.”

Wen Lanya bit an apple in her hand and squeaked, obviously not believing it. It seems to be saying, just coax your grandmother. Even Ye Licai didn’t want to bring it back when she got married last time.

“Mother Ping, I came here to ask something.” Ye Tangcai said, “I have been looking for my mother’s dowry list for so many years?”

Mother Ping was taken aback, but she remembered that when the cousin was married, the aunt prepared a dowry for the cousin, and she also found her own dowry list.

Sister Ping said: “Why did the girl look for this again? I didn’t find it many years ago. Later, didn’t I record the dowry in the warehouse again?”

Ye Tangcai couldn’t explain so much, “This is very important to me, please think about it again.”

She said so, it’s not easy for Mother Ping and Wen Lanya to ask her what it is for. Sister Ping said: “But…I really haven’t turned it over! It used to be placed in the old lady’s mahogany box. Many years ago, your mother asked to find it, but found that it was gone. Later, I turned the whole Wen family upside down. I don’t see it either. It’s said that the one who finds it is that it doesn’t come, and if it doesn’t look for it, it will come out on its own, but I haven’t seen Yinger in these years.”

Ye Tangcai listened with a gray face, she looked at Mrs. Wen: “Does grandma have any impression?”

“Hiss——” Mrs. Wen only said this syllable.

“Grandma, what do you mean by that?” Wen Lanya frowned slightly. “Si? Think? Four?”

Ye Tangcai found that Mrs. Wen’s fingers on the handrail moved slightly, seeming to point to the window.

Ye Tangcai saw a plate of Chinese rose on the window, she hurriedly walked over, took the rose, and wanted to look through it.

Seeing this, Madam Ping hurriedly smiled and said, “It is impossible to have this plate of flowers. I put them here a few days ago.”

But Ye Tangcai found that Mrs. Wen’s eyes were on the rose in her hand, and she frowned: “Then, what does grandma want to express? His… Rose? Siyue? Siji? Name?”

Old Mrs. Wen hummed.

The three of them were shocked and surprised, Wen Lanya said anxiously: “Is it really a name? Siyue or Siji? Who is it?”

“Mrs. Aunt!” Sister Ping exclaimed, “Mrs. Aunt’s name is Siyue.”

Her big aunt? Ye Tangcai thought for a while.

In Wen’s generation, the three sisters, the eldest daughter Wen Siyue, the second daughter Wen Sixue, and the first daughter Wen Siyu. Wen Siyu is Wen’s.

The Wen family was very short of money for a period of time, so the eldest daughter Wen Siyue married the emperor Shangqiu family, the second daughter married the fourth son of the uncle Du Qi, the daughter had the best life, and she married Jinganhou. Fu Shi Zi Ye.

But after so many years, who has the best life?

Ye Tangcai was quite impressed with her second aunt, because she was married in the capital, and her relatives often saw her when she was married, and she watched her life like a normal life.

As for the legendary aunt, Ye Tangcai really didn’t have any impressions. The Qiu family’s family was in Dingcheng, near the northwest, and it took a month to go back and forth. So I never come back once in a few years.

Ye Tangcai remembers seeing her when she was seven or eight years old, and because of one or another reason, she never returned to the capital in recent years. So the impression is not deep.

“Grandma is saying that the dowry list is related to the aunt?” said Wen Lanlan.

Old lady Wen nodded.

Ye Tangcai’s eyes brightened: “Is it in her hand?”

Old lady Wen nodded again.

Ye Tang was happy, and then frowned again: “Why did she take it away?”

“Isn’t it!” Wen Yaya tilted her head and looked at Mother Ping.

“This…I don’t know. It’s just that when asked a few years ago, the old lady didn’t give instructions at all like today.” Mother Ping was also puzzled.

“Don’t care about this, let’s write and let her send it back!” Wen Lanya said.

Ye Tangcai didn’t know why the mother’s dowry list would go to the aunt’s side, but now she wanted to get it back, so she had to do so. Thinking of the long journey, it took two months to come, Ye Tang Caixin was a little bit ashamed.

“Isn’t there a flying pigeon to pass the book!” Wen Lanya said with a smile: “Use the official flying pigeon for dozens of taels, and it will be delivered in a few days.”

Ye Tangcai’s eyes lit up as she listened, yes, there is this!

“However, even if the pigeons passed on by the flying pigeons are all trained by the government, they are rarely lost…If they are lost, they will never be lost.” Mother Ping frowned.

Ye Tangcai said: “If you can’t get it these few days, after Qiuwei… then it should be of no use. Also, I don’t know if I’m still there now, so ask first anyway.”

“Let’s write a letter quickly, Xiaodong, come here with pen and ink.” Wen Lanya ordered.

Xiaodong went to get his pen and ink and placed it on the table in a short while.

Ye Tangcai thought about it, and asked her first, and then stated the dowry list, asking her to look for it and send it back as soon as possible, so she could use it in a hurry.

Ye Tangcai finished the envelope and said a few words to Mrs. Wen so that they remembered to come to Jing’an Hou’s Mansion to attend Miao’s birthday banquet on the 25th, and then left.

Before it was dark, I came to the official translation station and spent more than fifty taels of silver before sending it out with the best-trained batch of carrier pigeons.
