and I haven't fully understood it yet, let alone solidified my progress. How can we start the next stage of teaching already My understanding isn't that fast! "Can we not do this" he negotiated with m...Ye Wen's words startled Xiao Shi. In that moment of surprise, Ye Wen directly threw the bracelet to Zhuier and shouted, "Take it and exchange it for silver to buy meat for the old lady!" 。The onlookers, upon hearing these words, all praised Mrs. Xiao for her great righteousness and wisdom, deeming her worthy of being the mistress of the mausoleum. 。By the time Xiao returned to her senses, people's flattery had made it impossible for her to open her mouth and ask for the bracelet again. She could only turn around angrily and go back home. 。Ye Wenyan glanced at the place where Shi Liyuan was, seeing that person always smiled and nodded to her, then turned into a red light and disappeared. She then took Mu Shi's hand and followed her back home. 。The entrance of the First Rank General's Mansion finally quieted down. The people who should have left had already left. The servants carried water to wash the ground that was soiled during the meat cutting, while silently muttering in their hearts that Fourth Sister was too formidable, and Old Madam couldn't control her at all. The mansion was probably going to be turned upside down!Entering the front courtyard, whether the gate was closed or not didn't matter anymore. It was just among family members anyway. 。The old madam had been waiting here the whole time. Seeing that everyone was back, she was ready to unleash her fury and try to salvage some of the face they had lost today. 。Before she could speak, the second master, Ye Jing Sheng, also returned. 。The registration ceremony was long over, and the officials had finished their discussions. Now it was time for them to disperse and head home. Night-Scene was sullen, dragging his face like a donkey as he entered the courtyard. 。 Xiao approached, intending to ask him why his face was so pale. As she turned around, she saw a group of palace maids returning with Ye Xing and Sheng. 。"However, these palace ladies were different from ordinary palace maids in their attire. While all the palace maids in the Northern Qi palace wore gray robes, those who arrived now wore purple robes." 。If it weren't for the fact that this eunuch's attire was different in color from ordinary eunuch's robes, Xiao Shi wouldn't have been able to tell what these people were. 。The old madam, however, seemed to have grasped something. She acted smart and said: "In the past it was during the reign of Emperor Sheng, but now a new emperor has ascended the throne and changed the name of the era to... That's right, hope..." 。Since now it is the period of looking forward to spring, the clothing of the grandfather and the court ladies should also change accordingly. 。Her complexion, already flushed from the day's activities, worsened under the dim night light. 。Xiao felt that something was amiss. It wasn't like the old lady at all. Sure enough, from behind Night Scene Sheng, the leading palace maid shouted: "Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has not changed the palace maid's attire. The reason we are wearing purple is because we are not royal palace maids, but those who serve in Yanhuagong." 。"The ladies of Yanhuaping Palace wear purple, this has been the rule for hundreds of years. Has Old Madam forgotten"

Old Madam was startled at once. The palace people of Yanhuaping Yes, she had heard that Yanhuaping Palace wore purple, but she had never come into contact with them before, so she had forgotten after hearing it once. Now that she suddenly remembered, a cold sweat broke out all over her body. 。What were the maidservants from Yanhu Palace doing at General Fu's mansion"But did Yunchen, Lord Yun, call you here" she trembled and asked tentatively. 。That person let out a cold snort, "Lord Yun controls the Imperial Censorate. If Lord Yun dispatched someone, it should be from the Censorate or the palace, never someone from the Yanhuagong." 。"

“Then what are you…”

“Old Madam, don’t ask things you shouldn’t. I came here to give Fourth Sister a gift!” With that said, he held out both hands, and the Ye family only then noticed that he was still holding a box in his hand" 。He no longer paid any attention to the old lady, looking around, his gaze finally landed on Ye Wenyan. 。The tightly-held frown finally softened, even sporting a smile as he walked toward Ye Wenyan and bowed deeply. "Slave Lian Shi, please be well, Fourth Sister Ye!" Ye Wenyan replied with a smile, “Master Lian, you needn't be so formal..." 。" Lian Shi held out the box in his hand and immediately raised his voice a few points: "The Yan Huagong presents Sister Ye Si with a warm jade, to be worn daily for warmth. Please accept it, Sister Ye Si." 。" As soon as the three words 'Yan Huagong' left her lips, Old Madam felt like she was about to collapse. Xiao shi's legs trembled, and she needed Ye Jing Sheng's support to stand properly. " 。That night, Lian Mian even widened his mouth, his eyes almost popping out in shock. 。Yanhua Palace Why Yanhua Palace, and not the Imperial Examiner's Office Originally, Ye Wenyan had only set up a meeting with the Imperial Examiner's Office, and it had already thoroughly exhausted them. 。Every time Yun Chen came, he wasn't just sarcastic and condescending towards them; he was practically stepping on their faces to support Ye Wen Yan. 。

Who would have thought that after passing the Imperial Examination, another hurdle arises: the Yanhuagong! What is Yanhuagong That is the territory of the Emperor! It is the most sacred place in Beiqi Kingdom, a place where even the royal family bows down in reverence.

Why is Ye Wenyan involved with Yanhuagong again How did they get involved Is Ye Wenyan next to YanhuagongA series of questions exploded in everyone's minds, including the Mu family. They stared at Lian Shi in disbelief, then at Ye Wenyan. Even Ye Feiyu couldn't help but shake his head. 。Ye Wen didn't say a word, but she wasn't clueless. She was just thinking, so Shi Liyuan's thing turned out to be a warming jade! Wearing it daily could warm the body, wouldn't that be perfect for her whole-body coldness!So she smiled and took the thing over, holding it in her arms, "Thank you, Lian Gonggong." 。“He winked at Zhuai again, and Zhuai quickly handed him some silver.” 。After handing over a silver dollar, he still felt it wasn't enough, so he stuffed the remaining ruby into Lian Shi's hand. 。Then, Lian Shi thought for a moment and took the silver. She pushed the jewels back, saying, “This is my first time meeting Fourth Sister. This ingot of silver is just a gift to show my respect. As a servant girl, I really can't accept these jewels.” 。This is the last thought that General Ye Lao left for his fourth sister. The fourth sister should cherish it well. 。"

Night Wen listened to this and sighed, “Alas, I also want to stay well, but unfortunately, it's impossible to keep." 。Our family is too poor. We eat plain dishes every meal, and the porridge we drink in the morning doesn't even have many grains of rice. 。As the eldest daughter, it's natural for me to consider what's best for this family. So as soon as the curfew was lifted this morning, I had my maids remove all the jewels and take them to the city to sell. We'll use the silver to buy rice and meat for everyone at home. 。So, you can just keep it, Grandpa. It doesn't matter about this one. 。"At that moment, Lian felt her spirits sink. "With so many elders in the house, including Grandmother and the new mistress, as well as General Ye the Second, why would they let a young girl go out to earn a living Even if the family needed more rice and meat, it should be the elders who sell their possessions to make money. In no way should the Fourth Sister be the one doing this." 。"Fourth Sister, how could you be subjected to such hardship at home" The maids who followed behind were particularly good at cooperating. Upon hearing this from Lian Shi, one by one they wiped away their tears, muttering, "Fourth Sister is so pitiful, the Ye family has treated her too harshly!" The elderly mistress was furious, but she didn't dare to ... 。If it were the eunuchs from the palace, she could retort a few words back, after all, she still had the military might of General Ye and her first-rank imperial decree to back her up. 。She wouldn't dare to retort a single word to anyone from Ke Yan Hua Palace. Not only did she not dare, but she even lowered her head, clearly showing submission in her attitude. 。The Xiao family was also scared, but Ye Wan's appearance was even more frightening. 。In front of the Yanhu Palace, I'm afraid that besides Ye Wenyan, no one else would dare to remain standing. 。She cried along with her entourage of palace maids for a while before finally turning around to speak directly to the old matriarch. 。He asked: "Madam, is it really true that there isn't even a scrap of meat left in your household Has the rice run out Or have you all eaten well, but only Sister Four is going hungry"

Zhuier saw things were about to escalate and quickly added fuel to the fire: "It's not just Sister Four. The situation is the same for Madam as well, day after day, it's just stir-fried dry dishes and boiled dry dishes..." 。“That’s just bullying Sijie because she has no father and the mistress of the house has no husband.” 。"This is bullying orphans and widows! General Ye just left for over a month, didn't he It's only been a month since his talent left, and his wife and children ended up like this Madam Ye, is General Ye really your own son" Madam Ye felt particularly helpless and speechless. How could this conversation turn into questioning if her eldest son was her ownOf course, her eldest son was hers. Although she always favored the second son, there was no doubt that the eldest was her biological child. 。Then quickly replied, "She's my biological daughter, indeed she is my own." 。After thinking for a moment, she added, “It’s not that our household treats them harshly, nor is it that we lack rice and meat at home. It’s simply because there’s a major death in the family, and we should be eating vegetarian.” 。As for the rice in the porridge, it's just... I feel that you shouldn't eat too much in the morning. A little bit of rice soup is good for clearing your stomach. 。"Oh, so that's how it is!" Ye Wenyan spoke, her face full of surprise. "So I was overdoing it and broke the family rules. That's my fault, please forgive your granddaughter." 。"

She rushed to the old lady and bowed her head, but the old lady absolutely didn't believe that this granddaughter was sincerely admitting her mistake. 。She firmly believed this was yet another scheme by Ye Wenyan, who might have other tricks up his sleeve waiting for her! Sure enough, after bending down, Ye Wenyan quickly straightened up and then said to Zhuai'er: "Quickly go tell Mi Shang to cancel all the rice orders we made before." 。Put all the meat cut just now in one place, be sure not to send it to the kitchen. 。There's a big funeral at home, so we have to eat vegetarian food. So the meat..." "The meat will be sent to the poor alleys outside the city and distributed to the needy people. That's what Night Fourth Sister asked for." 。“The one speaking was an old woman who had come with Lian Shi. She had been standing at the back of the crowd until this moment, when she suddenly spoke.” 。When I saw her, I quickly stepped aside to invite her closer. Then, turning to Ye Wen, I said: "This is Granny Ji. She's been brought here today for Fourth Sister to take a look at. If you find her agreeable, she can stay by your side and help out from now on." 。Before Night Wen could speak, Old Madam simply couldn't contain herself. She shrieked, "You are surnamed Ji" Xiao followed with, "But you are from the Ji clan of Quanzhou, aren't you" Grandmother Ji completely ignored the two women. Instead, she knelt before Night Wen and kowtowed earnestly, loudly declaring, "This old slave, Ji clan, bows to my fourth sister." 。Yè Wēn Yán was looking at this chessboard, his heart also weighing the pros and cons. 。Shi Liyuan didn't mention wanting to send a wet nurse for her, but since she came with the maidservants from Yanhuagong, it must have been Shi Liyuan's idea. 。This grandmother looks to be about fifty years old. She's ordinary-looking, the kind of person who would blend right into a crowd. 。But she knew this person was no ordinary person, at least the surname "Ji" wasn't simple. Otherwise, Madam Lao and Xiao wouldn't have such a big reaction...is there any ghost If there were truly ghosts in this world, they would be living in the hearts of your Yu family members! You stay here in the house, and if you hear another useless word, I'll have y...
