Chapter 0019: Cao Family

On the day of opening the list

Before dawn, Ye Qing was awakened and looked at Qianqian's wrinkled little face, unable to help but laugh, "Are you worried

Qianqian couldn't help but nod, her eyes filled with both anxiety and anticipation: "It would be great if the young master could pass the entrance exam for a child student

It was early morning at this moment, and Qianqian was still wearing the clothes that were only counted in the inner room. She held a basin of water to wash Ye Qing and asked, "Young master, you don't have any shortage now, so you have to get up

After finishing washing, Ye Qing casually hung it down to her chest, pinched it inside, and whispered, "There's no shortage, but we'll get through it anyway

Young master, you are too lazy. Today is the opening day, and everyone in the mansion is waiting! "Qianqian wrinkled her nose and pretended to be disdainful as she spoke. With Ye Qing's movements, her face gradually turned red, her eyes shimmered, and she looked like a beautiful peach blossom.

Is Nuanyu in your arms? "Ye Qing laughed wickedly, but not too much. After a moment of warmth, she said," Today is the day of the opening ceremony. If you win, we will have a banquet to entertain you and distribute the money. Are you ready

Qianqian blushed, gently pulled down her unruly hand, stood up, and said, "While I was buying rice, I had already exchanged fifty taels of silver in copper coins several times. We have all the scattered money in the clan

If the young master is chosen, he can go to the clan banquet and sit down. If someone else is chosen, he can also sit down at the clan banquet, but he will be ranked lower

But we can't ignore it at home either. Some women and girls will come. I have already bought pork, carp, and wine, which should be delivered soon - Young master, you have to go out

"Young master!" Ye Qing smiled, touched her, and really got up. If she was really dressed, she drank a bowl of Congee. Then she saw two children coming with a burden, unloading the burden at the door, and shouted: "Young master, is Miss Qianqian in the room? Everything you want has been delivered!"

Qianqian rushed out and started counting. Today, neither of these two servants were so cold. They helped Qianqian carry the goods into the house and finished moving. After taking a few steps, the two servants turned back and smiled apologetically at Ye Qing, saying, "Young Master Qing, don't hesitate to give orders. At least my wife can come and help. We don't live far away

After speaking, he went out.

Qianqian understood in her heart that today's children were polite because on the day of the opening of the list, although these children did not think or want to be among the young masters, what if they were successful?

So today I showed hospitality and politeness, which is also a survival trick for ordinary people. I secretly thought to myself and helped Ye Qing tidy up her clothes.

Upon seeing this, Ye Qing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After leaving the courtyard, Ye Qing felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was different today.

The rain stopped yesterday, and now hundreds of servants are mobilized to clean, tidy up, and transport goods. When they see Ye Qing coming over, they all tacitly refuse to speak, and Ye Qing ignores them and goes straight over.

The inner and outer buildings of the mansion stand solemnly, and the surrounding gardens are mostly inhabited by women's families and young children. There are few people on the small hills that isolate the gardens, which is normal.

The voices in Dongfu are noisy, and the closer you get to Donghu Forest Park, the more lively it becomes.

From the northwest along the corridor stone path all the way east, you can hear servants talking about this child test and guessing which member of the tribe will win, even placing bets on it. Today, no one will prohibit it, creating an atmosphere of anticipation and joy.

But in the crowd, few people mentioned the name Ye Qing. Some people didn't even look up and were quickly ridiculed, saying, "Da Qingtian is on top. How could such a person win? Isn't that just natural

Among the servants, a few immediately responded, "Do you still consider yourself a talented person who disregards human life? Even if you are lucky, you will be cut off by heaven to avoid future harm

Hmph, even if he's a talented person, he's still capable of defeating his parents

Shh, you can't say that recklessly. Thirty lashes are indispensable when you hear it

Although Ye Qing did not practice Taoism, he had the experience of a Taoist in his past life. His instinctive movements carried some martial arts skills, which these servants found difficult to detect and hear.

Upon hearing the thoughts and curses of these servants, Ye Qing remained calm, somewhat melancholic, somewhat lost, and even more ambitious.

Today we're going to see who's swimming in spring after the big waves! "The sun gradually rose and walked along the cobblestone corridor, passing through the corridor and reaching the small wooden bridge inscribed with the words" Dengke Jiayuan ". In front of us were hundreds of gazes, from men, women, and children, casting their gaze from under the forest between the pavilions.

The originally lively small circles stopped talking and whispered, "Look, it's Ye Qing

It's really rare to be so young and decisive in the battle. It depends on whether you can win. "This is the appreciative gaze.

Someone looked at Ye Qing with malicious eyes and said, "Isn't this one of the main characters today? Is it better to be bold or rebellious

It's said that they are the main characters on the stage, so let's just watch the play... "This is a neutral statement.

Ye Qing took one step at a time and arrived at a station in front of the main hall. He asked the servant to give his name and soon heard the steady voice of a middle-aged man coming from inside: "Come in and talk

With a nod of agreement, Ye Qing stepped in and saw Ye Zifan sitting, with an official sitting across from him. Although this person was not wearing a formal official robe, his official boots, belt, and jade pendant all showed his identity - he had seen it many times in his past life.

This person was carefully examining himself when Ye Qing gave a stern look. However, he first bowed to Ye Zifan. After Ye Qing finished bowing, Ye Zifan said, "Let me introduce you to Lord Cao, the fan of the Cao household. You should have known him before, but it's been seven years since we last met. Why don't you come forward and greet him

After hearing this, Ye Qing quickly bowed and said, "I am a junior student and have met adults

Get up, don't be too polite! "Cao Hufan just smiled, raised his hand, and said," I met your father and was deeply moved to hear the bad news. Also, I heard that you participated in the children's test this time? I was still studying hard at your age, which is really frightening in the future

This may sound polite, but it also implies a sense of nitpicking. Ye Qing furrowed her brows in secret, but with decades of experience, she didn't reveal the surface and simply said, "This is a late school kid who has taken risks

Upon hearing this, Cao Hufan also smiled and remained silent. Ye Qing then said to Ye Zifan, "If there are any further instructions from Uncle San, feel free to give them

No, today is a special day. You should go down to the pergola and play, don't drink too much alcohol, "Ye Zifan instructed.

The clan rules of the Ye tribe are still very strict. Drinking alcohol without proper etiquette is not allowed, and they are advised not to drink too much alcohol. In fact, today is a ban on alcohol consumption.

Ye Qing responded naturally. When Ye Qing left, Ye Zifan asked, "Mr. Cao, you are proficient in physiognomy. What did you think of it just now

... "Cao Hufan pondered silently for a long time before sighing and saying," You know, although physiognomy is a myth passed down among the people, it can only be inferred from the current situation and can also infer the major misfortunes of the next three to five years based on the trend of the weather

Based on the current appearance, this person's luck is weak and has a harsh demeanor. However, upon closer examination, it is found that this person has a small yellow qi protecting their body, while a red qi has already emerged

Cao Hufan paused at this point and saw Ye Zifan's face turn slightly pale.

The Ye tribe reported four spots, and if they are unlucky, they may not win at all, but under normal circumstances, they will win one. The so-called 'born of red qi' implies a clear meaning.

Although I had a premonition for a long time, I still felt a bit dazed after hearing the words. After a moment, Ye Zifan woke up and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Cao, I lost my composure. Please don't take offense

The feeling of licking a calf is human nature, how could I be surprised? "Cao Hufan smiled and said," I felt this small yellow aura. It doesn't seem like it was given by the Ye clan, nor is it feng shui. I'm afraid it was protected by his deceased father

This son's father was extremely talented. Although he passed away early, he has accumulated a lot of fame and virtue during the parade for several years. It is not surprising to have this group

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifan remained silent and sighed in the blink of an eye, "Ah

Speaking of Ye Qing, she just ignored these things and walked along the small stream. A little further away, under the white stone rockery, she built a pergola platform with a large red brocade mat and set up more than ten seats. Several elders from the tribe were already sitting there, drinking and chatting with each other.

The main seat was empty, and on this occasion, the clan leader would come. Uncle Ye Zifan had not yet arrived, but Ye Qing observed and found a seat under the shade of a tree, sitting steadily.

Nearby, there are a few familiar clan brothers and a girl who looks familiar!

When these clan brothers saw Ye Qing approaching, they all felt a bit uneasy. At this moment, they all found excuses to disperse, fearing to avoid it. For a moment, they almost formed an empty circle, which was very conspicuous in the garden.

Ye Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the circle of his age, killing someone with his own hands was also too terrifying. No wonder he had this reaction.

Little Qingzi? "A voice came, and Ye Qing was startled and looked up.

This is a young girl dressed in a light blue dress, wearing a girl's double bun, with two headpieces inserted between her green hair, and a hand cranked fan. She has a graceful figure and a pair of attractive phoenix eyes.

Recalling these phoenix eyes, Ye Qing suddenly remembered and also remembered the identity of Lord Cao just now, and then blurted out, "Why don't Sister Bai Jing leave

What did you say? Sister is not from your Ye family, she doesn't owe you money, and she didn't intend to marry your Ye family. Why avoid it? "Cao Baijing covered her fan and smiled, squinting her eyes into a crescent moon." Also, during the Moon Aunt banquet on the last lunar festival, you said you lacked literary and intellectual talent and owed your sister a poem

When Ye Qing recalled more memories, she felt a little embarrassed.

This is a close cousin from my mother's family, who is only seventeen years old and highly favored by the family. I don't know why she came here now

Aunt Yue is a single unmarried talented woman of the Cao family. Ye Qing's mother is also named Cao. She has a little relationship with her as a cousin sisters. Although two generations are not close to each other, when the Ye family met, they had a natural affinity.

Struggling like ants in the previous life, I no longer have a clear impression of these mother relatives. Do you remember this woman hiding in the Ye Mansion and surviving under the protection of others, while everyone else died during the great tribulation?

Even if they managed to dodge it by chance, they could still do it a few more times, and in the end, the Ye tribe would all turn gray.

Remembering the affairs of Cao's mother tribe now is like looking at a yellowed old photo album, or remembering the beautiful side when someone is not around, vague yet warm.

I suddenly felt complex and indescribable in my heart, but I just smiled and said, "The title Little Qingzi is not good

Hey, wasn't that what they used to call it? "The fan shook slightly in dissatisfaction.

This was before

You're a debtor, how could you be so particular... Hmm, aren't you really angry? "The fan paused slightly.

That's not true, but this title reminds me of a eunuch

... "Tuan Fan revealed a series of question marks. There are no eunuchs in this world with the title of Little Qingzi, so Tuan Fan couldn't react.
