Chapter 22

Time flies, and the flash of time passes.

It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the child's figure began to grow like a willow branch, and he became a girl with stretched eyebrows and eyes day by day.

It has been four years since the funeral.

It was the peak of spring, the weather was getting warmer and the rain was abundant. Ye Kui went out with an umbrella to find Chunpo, the youngest son of Mei, who is only three years old this year.

Mei knew that she was pregnant with Chunpo, it was the time when Xiaojiu had an accident. Ding He was making trouble, and Ding Duofu's family was separated and moved to several dilapidated houses at the end of the village. Fortunately, she was getting better and better after the separation of the family. Chunxi was very smart and thought of a lot of messy ways, which really made her make money. Ding Duofu's family's life is now the best in the village.

Over the years, Ye Shu has been studying very well. Therefore, although he is young, the Master also advised him to come to the scene with Chunjiang. It would be a great thing to become a scholar.

It seems that everything is moving in a good direction.

But as time goes by, Ye Kui feels something is wrong. As she grows up, Mei sometimes seems to be staring at her for longer and more strangely.

She took a deep breath and walked into the yard ahead.

Since spring has begun, the child of Chunpo likes to sneak into the yard to play, and he can't stop it even if it rains.

Sure enough, as soon as she walked forward, she saw the little boy with his back to her, with a very pleasant round body, and his clothes were already wet. Hearing her call, he turned his head, smiled and narrowed his eyes into crescent moons, revealing two rows of small teeth like rice grains, ran over and shouted loudly, "Sister Three!"

Ye Kui then greeted him and hugged him: "You little naughty!"

He bit his lips and sighed like an adult: "That girl in the second sister is so naughty..."

Ye Kui laughed and pointed his forehead. Chunlan, who did not stick to his relatives after Chunbo was born, but only liked to stick to her. Ye Shu muttered dissatisfaction with her after returning from school more than once. Since Chunbo was present in this family, Ye Kui's eyes were almost gone.

The two were funny, and Chunxi happened to turn in from outside.

As soon as she entered the door, she looked at the person with her eyes. She was particularly impatient with the child. When she heard Chunbo talking about her, her face immediately drooped, "Whoever wants to hug you, please follow him. Don't come to look for me in the future."

Chunbo was a small man, but he was weird. Seeing that she was annoyed, he hurriedly asked Ye Kui to let him go down the ground, ran to hug Chunxi's legs, and muttered, "Second sister, you are so arrogant. You will buy me candy tomorrow."

Ye Kui looked at the corner of her mouth with a smile on her face, not opening her mouth.

"Oh, don't you want your third sister?" Chunxi was lukewarm, "Don't you like her the most? What are you doing when you pester me?"

She is tall, has a bright appearance, and is accustomed to dressing up. She will wave her face and say sarcastic words, which is really scary. The little Chunbo stopped embarrassedly.

Chunxi hummed and returned to her room with a squid.

Then, a woman with a flowery jacket, painted on her face and a large silk flower came to her house.

As soon as he saw Ye Kui's face, he grinned and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. The third lady's face is so tender that it seems like water is dripping. It's really a good color."

Ye Kui held Chunpo and called out "Aunt Pan" with a smile, leading the people inside.

This person is the most famous matchmaker in a village of 18 miles away. Today, he came to tell Chunlan about it. When Mei saw him, she smiled and hurriedly asked Chunbo to go down to play, and asked Ye Kui and Chunlan to make tea.

Chunlan had thin skin and didn't dare to see Aunt Pan, so she had to take tea into the front hall alone.

"I said, sister, your third wife is about the same age as your second wife?" Aunt Pan suddenly said while eating tea.

"No, it's only a few months away."

Aunt Pan smiled sly and squeezed at Mei: "But I haven't been in vain for so many years. When Chunlan gets married, your happy event in Chunjiang will be the past two or three years."

When Mei heard this, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Although she had always had this idea, she was suddenly told and became a little embarrassed in front of Ye Kui.

It was not until Ye Kui went out that she smiled and said, "No rush, I have been raising her for so many years. It's not too late to wait until Chunjiang gets the scholar again."

Aunt Pan narrowed her eyes with a smile: "If Chunjiang becomes a scholar, in a few years, he will become a juren! Although the third lady has a good color, it is just a child you picked up, but his status is not good. If that day comes, Chunjiang will naturally marry a girl of a good match. I look at the third lady and keep it for urination."

Mei listened while eating tea, and she was really interested.

Neither of the two knew that Ye Kui, who had stepped back early, actually stood outside the door holding her breath and listening to their conversation.

Her hands holding the tray couldn't help but tremble.

——Mei actually made up her mind to marry Chunjiang!

She stepped back gently, put the things down, and went to find Chi Po with an umbrella.

A few days ago, Ye Shu and Chunjiang passed the county examination and have now gone to participate in the palace examination. Since they set out, she has been worried. At this moment, this anxiety suddenly became even stronger, and she could only go to Chi Po to relieve her.

In recent years, because Chi Po saved her life, the Mei family has gotten closer to Chi Po. Ye Kui has gone to see her now and then went openly. Therefore, she has learned a lot in the past few years. But she once thought that learning these things would be useless. However, after just now, she realized Mei's thoughts, but she couldn't help but hesitate.

To this day, she still hopes that Ye Shu can be an ordinary child, so she can live in a farmhouse, study, grow up, get married and have children... But in this way, should she obey Mei's will and marry Chunjiang?

When she saw Chi Po, she had just explained her purpose, and someone outside called her loudly: "Xiao Yezi - something happened-"

She was shocked and hurried out to look.

Chunlan was panting, and as soon as she saw her, she stepped forward and grabbed her hand and ran back. Chunlan's temperament has always been quiet, why is she so panicked today?

Ye Kui was puzzled: "Sister, what happened?"

"Chunjiang has just arrived home and said that something big happened to Xiaoshu!"

She staggered under her feet, and Ye Kui fell down with a "bang". Chunlan hurriedly went to help her, but she got up by herself, not caring about the dirty skirt and the skin of her palm, so she kept running forward.

After entering the door, Aunt Pan has already left.

On the first floor of the main hall was Ding He, who was with the old god. Something seemed to be wrong... Seeing their attitude, Ye Kui gradually calmed down again.

"Mom, what happened to Xiaoshu?" She looked at Mei, but saw that Mei's face turned blue and white, and it was so ugly that it was ugly.

Chunjiang sat beside drinking water, and hurriedly put down the teacup and said, "We arrived in Hongdu and everything went well. After the second exam, several students invited us to the teahouse, but they met Lord Jin, the chief examiner..."
