Chapter 5 It’s really hard to raise a little girl
Ye Qingran didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but the second aunt became more and more outrageous, and even involved her parents.
Tolerable or unbearable!
Ye Qingran immediately stopped, turned around and stared in the direction of the second aunt and said, "Don't point fingers at Sang and Huai. If you have a temper, say it in front of me! The General's Mansion was indeed implicated because of me. My parents and elder brother scolded me and complained about me. I Everyone admits it!”
"But second aunt, when you and your second uncle took the whole family to live in the General's Mansion, we didn't force you to come here. In these years, you didn't spend a penny on food and accommodation. My cousins went out to buy rouge and gouache, and went to brothels to listen to music. All my drinking was recorded in the general's account, not to mention two or three hundred taels, but one hundred taels! If you had gone back early, you wouldn't have been implicated with us!"
"Why do you scold me when you endure hardships, but don't remember us when you enjoy blessings?"
Ye Qingran was sharp-tongued, and the second aunt was speechless and unable to speak.
Because she is his brother's wife, and Ye Qingran's mother is weak and kind-hearted, Ye Guodong has suffered a lot of frustration from his second aunt's family over the years despite being the master. Ye Zhuoyu occasionally wanted to deal with them, but his words were clumsy and he could not gain the upper hand. When he heard Ye Qingran say this today, his face was expressionless, but his heart was extremely happy.
"We are elders. What's wrong with saying a few words and complaining about you?"
"You are so sharp-tongued, no wonder His Majesty can't stand you and wants to depose you from the position of Queen!"
The second aunt's face turned red and her neck was thick. She had not yet realized Ye Qingran's fighting power and continued to provoke.
Ye Qingran glanced at the woman next to her who looked delicate and frail, but her eyes were actually full of calculations. She forced out a fake smile and openly quarreled with each other, "Yes, I am a cousin who cannot be better educated than the second aunt. Concubine Xian When she hooked up with the Emperor and made His Majesty fall in love with her at first sight, my cousin seemed to be there, right? At that banquet, my cousin also tried every means to get His Majesty to have a drink."
"It's a pity that my cousin is not as good as Concubine Xian. It's because the second aunt didn't teach her well, so she lost the opportunity to enter the palace, right?"
Ye Qingran's eyebrows arched, but there was no smile in his eyes.
This group of guys who want to wipe out the general's mansion without spitting out their bones will have to see if she agrees if they want to take advantage in the future. The second aunt was so speechless that she pointed at Ye Qingran with a trembling hand.
Ye Qingran hurriedly pretended to be concerned and said, "If Second Aunt is tired, please stop talking."
"There isn't enough water on the road. You said too much. Don't be thirsty anymore!"
The situation was about to come to an end, but I heard a low man's preaching voice coming from my ears, "Qingran, we all know that you are in a bad mood now, but she is an elder after all. You are so rude, how should you deal with yourself in the future?" ? Guodong, you don’t care about your daughter? You already have a demoted status, do you want to stay in the General’s Mansion for the rest of your life?”
who is it? Say such feudal and stereotyped words.
Ye Qingran frowned and looked over. It was a face that looked almost like Concubine Xian - uncle?
"My uncle taught me a lesson! Qingran is not as good as my sister."
"I'm in a bad mood, but in the final analysis, it's because my sister is scheming in the palace." Ye Qingran revealed Concubine Xian's affair in public. The uncle, who always paid attention to his appearance, remained silent and his face was obviously unhappy. .
Who cares whether you are happy or not!
Ye Qingran continued: "How come Concubine Xian is so favored in the palace, yet she still doesn't say a word for my uncle to save you from exile? Oh, is it because my sister is afraid of being implicated by you and doesn't dare to say anything? Huh? It seems that uncle has raised a good daughter!"
"My father's life is miserable, and I will only be able to take care of him from now on. But my uncle's life is good. He has a daughter who is a concubine in the palace. I don't know what use it can be. Is it to be eaten in exchange for two bowls of white porridge? Get a sweet potato instead!”
Ye Qingran sneered and wanted to fight with her?
"you!"
The uncle raised his hand. He was so angry that he wanted to slap Ye Qingran's mouth, but Ye Zhuoyu stepped in front of her and said, "Uncle, my father is still here, and he should be the one to teach me the lesson. Shouldn't you come forward?" Ye Zhuoyu spoke sonorously and forcefully, and his tall figure blocked the sunlight, leaving Ye Qingran standing in the shadow.
It seems that they are still relatives of flesh and blood, with broken bones and tendons attached.
She has to find a way to reconcile with her family! On this road of exile from now on, we need to support each other to be able to go on!
Ye Qingran looked at the capital city gate that was already getting further away. Although there were a lot of supplies in the space, there were still some loopholes and missing things. If he walked further out, he might not be able to see any big towns for a while. Most of their exiles took wild roads like mountains and forests, so it was a good thing to have a station where they could rest.
"My lord, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Ye Qingran thought about this and called the leading officers and soldiers to stop.
Officer Xu Qiang witnessed with his own eyes the scene where Ye Qingran was "tonguing with the Confucian scholars" just now, but he came to the side with her and asked, "What orders do you have, Madam?" He still used the honorific title and maintained his appearance, "Please don't make things difficult for us, Madam .”
"It's not difficult!"
Ye Qingran smiled and took out two silver ingots from his sleeves. The heavy weight was enough for their monthly salary.Although she has more, she can't give it all at once. Human nature is greedy. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. At first, she was overfed, and then her appetite became bigger and bigger. Even if she has an entire treasury in her space, she will still feel heartache!
Money can make all the difference, and as expected, Xu Qiang took the money and his attitude became a little better.
"This road of exile cannot be completed in one or two days. If you go slower today and faster tomorrow, you can definitely make up for it." Ye Qingran considered his tone and looked back at the people who were baking in the sun. Everyone said, "These people are all important ministers in the court. They have lost power for a while, but who knows if they have connections in the court to fight back?"
"Let's just talk about the General's Mansion. The emperor doesn't need it now, so he's been exiled. But if the country is in trouble again in the future, what if we can regain military power?" Ye Qingran analyzed the situation at hand for the official, "It's better to be a human being and keep a line."
The official narrowed his eyes, and the money in his hand ached.
He also understands that what Ye Qingran said is true. Things in the court are changing rapidly, and one needs to be careful when standing in line. That's why today he did not hit and scold the people in the General's Mansion like others, but was polite. treat each other.
"I want to ask the official to do something."
"Take these people to the shady place over there and wait for the sun to go down before moving on."
"Also, my brother is right. Those shackles really can't trap people. Why not untie them from the general's mansion?" Ye Qingran thought of the cynicism made by his uncle and second aunt just now. She is not the prime minister and has no tolerance for others. " As for the rest, I don’t care.”
The implication is that that is a separate price.
When the official heard what Ye Qingran said, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud. It's really hard to raise a little girl!
