The next morning, at one o'clock.

The wind and rain are like darkness, and the roosters crow.

The Nanyan House in Xiyuan seems a little quiet at this moment.

The three houses of the Ye family live in Xiyuan, but the other courtyards they live in are different, and their decorations are unique. The large house's Biboju is low-key and restrained, but it occupies the most extensive area; the second house's Jinfengju is the most magnificent, and any vase inside is taken out, which is all worth hundreds of taels of silver; the third house's Nanyanju is not as vast as the large house's Biboju, and the luxury is not as luxurious as the second house's Jinfengju, but the green inside is the most abundant and the decoration is the most exquisite.

It was already early morning, and the rooster crowed three times, but the heavy rain was still pouring down like a pour in the dim air. The heavy rain was extremely heavy and extremely violent. In just half an hour, the rainwater in the courtyard was already one and a half inches deep. Fortunately, the foundation of Ye Mansion was deep and the drainage system was also tested by years. The terrain under the walls on both sides of Nanyanju was slightly lower. The rainwater in the courtyard gathered on both sides, gurgling out in the shape of two water dragons.

"This heavy rain in summer is really urgent and fast. The downpour is pouring down, and it doesn't give people time to prepare, so it just makes people feel cool." Ye Duling leaned against the window, dragging her chin with her white palms and stared out of the window in a daze. A rare leisure came out of her beautiful and handsome face.

Ye Duling is the pillar of the three-bedroom house of the Ye family. Although he is young, his ability is not low. He can even be said to be comparable to the big house Ye Yanglu. Otherwise, Ye Yuanhai's scheming Ye family pillar would not be assured to hand over the most important medicine cabinet of the Ye family to Ye Duling for care.

Although it was raining today, Ye Duling was still as usual. When the rooster crowed, he had already gotten up and washed. He originally wanted to wait for the rain to be lighter and go out to visit several old drug dealers with an umbrella, but seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, he cut Ye Duling into the Nanyan Curie.

In this guest room, except Ye Duling, there is only a maid who has grown up with Ye Duling since childhood, who is busy serving him. The maid is named Chunyu, with a beautiful face and diligent hands and feet. She was sold to the Ye family by her gambling father at the age of six, and followed Ye Duling at the age of seven. She is just seventeen years old this year, but when dealing with miscellaneous things at home, she is very quick to deal with.

After burning musk, Chunyu gently pressed the incense burner cover that had been polished by time and said coquettishly, "I think it's raining so well. Miss, you are busy with this family every day, and you can't sleep for three or four hours a night. If you have a while, even if you are so strong, you can't stand it!"

Ye Duling was originally a kind of delicate and morbid beauty, but in order to preside over the family, she had to dress up and mature herself. After getting up today, she saw the heavy rain getting heavier and heavier, she simply changed into a slightly thin light red silk robe and moon-white vest. She was already thin. At this time, she bent her knees and sat on the edge of the bed, holding a pair of lotus feet on the bench under her, which added a bit of delicate and morbid beauty to her.

After hearing Chunyu's thoughts, Ye Duling chuckled softly, "My father is already old, and I shouldn't have bothered my father anymore. Besides, my father loves the most on weekdays, and he resisted the opposition and handed over all the sixteen pharmacies in Luoyun City to me for care. Of course, I have to reassure the old man."

At the end, Ye Duling tilted her head and smiled playfully. His smile was rare in her smile at this moment, showing her pretty charming charm.

Chunyu has been with Ye Duling for more than ten years, and has been stained with many shadows of Ye Duling. This veritable maid around Ye Duling is considered half a housekeeper in the third room. She is extremely gentle and considerate around Ye Duling, but she is also extremely fierce in front of outsiders. She once slapped her waist and scolded a shopkeeper in the medicine shop to cry, which shows her majesty.

Chunyu made a pot of hot tea and handed the tea to Ye Duling carefully. He curled his mouth and said with anger: "But... but Miss, you know that you have been running around the city these days, completely... it's all for the bad things that the second master did. You were planning to contact those old drug dealers today? Those old drug dealers have been working with our Ye family for many years. They were the incense that had been saved from the master's generation. Now I handed over the purchase of medicinal materials to the second master. When did the second master... not put most of the money into his pocket, but now they are making trouble for those drug dealers..."

"Chunyu!" Ye Duling took the teacup and his tone became slightly heavier.

Chunyu, who had always followed Ye Dulingyan's plan, raised her head stubbornly and said, "Miss, what's the use of me? Look at the second master, you are busy cleaning up his business behind him, but he is also making trouble for you behind him! He is always against you in secret, just thinking about putting more money into his pocket. Even the reputation left by our Ye family for more than 70 years... is ignored!"

In the faint mist of the tea, a faint sad look slowly appeared on Ye Duling's handsome face. After sighing deeply, she said softly: "Chunyu... I don't understand what you said, Second Brother... Second Brother has been a little unemployed since I was a child. Since I had memories, Second Brother has been drinking and enjoying each day, and he goes to places of love and love every day. Although people don't seem to be a little bit unrestrained, I know that Second Brother is not bad, really not bad. Chunyu, I'm not polite to you. Now we sisters are closed, and there is no need to say those false words. Second Brother likes money, so let him get it. They are all a family, and the money flows from the left pocket to the right pocket. What's the difference?"

Chunyu turned around and took care of Ye Duling's favorite pastry while muttering: "Miss, you think so, but others don't think so..."

Ye Duling slowly put the tea cup in his hand on the windowsill next to him, looked at the banana leaves that were shining by the rain outside the window, tilted his head and said with a smile: "It's so bad that he is my second brother, too... the family, how can he speak two families?"

Chunyu picked up the blue and white porcelain plate and was about to turn around, but her eyes were slightly stunned, then she bowed slightly and said in a calm tone: "Son-in-law, morning."

Dong Changying, dressed in dark blue scholar uniform, came to the main hall, wrapped in a light blue scarf on her head, holding a folding fan in her hand, and a good jade pendant fell on the folding fan bone. At this point, she looked quite proud of a literary man.

Dong Changying was originally a scholar who had the "spring breeze is so proud that he can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day" in his heart. He was from a poor family since he was a child, but he was also the seed of studying hard since he was a child. However, after studying hard for twenty years, he ended up with a false title of filial piety and honesty. This is because the Ye family operated. Therefore, since he married into the Ye family, his dream of being the top scholar in his heart has been shattered. In recent years, there has never been a saint's book. When he occasionally talks about the "zhihu" of the past, most of them just laugh at themselves in front of those pursing men.

After seeing Ye Duling dressing up today's girl who was listening to the rain in front of the window, Dong Changying was really stunned, but then she performed neatly a couple who had "received the case together" and said with a slight flattery, "I'm early."

Seeing Dong Changying's obedient appearance, Ye Duling smiled on the surface, but sighed helplessly in her heart.

Dong Changying is a bit pedantic, saying that he is pedantic. His poems he wrote when he was full of energy in his youth were also very craftsmanship, but in the eyes of an old man like Ye Yuanhai, this pedanticity is actually a loyal and honest nature.

Ye Duling was a little resistant to this marriage at first. She knew that as Ye Yuanhai's heart, she would never be able to marry out in this life, and could only recruit men to marry into her.

Ye Duling is also an ordinary woman. She would occasionally dream of a scholar-like prince charming girl in her boudoir. When she saw those literati fans and silk scarves in the restaurant and chanting poems, Ye Duling said that it was false that she was not moved.

But then again, how many men who are really capable are willing to marry into a marriage?

What is marriage? Abandoning the ancestral tablet, abandoning the family surname, and coming under another roof, the children in the future have to follow the female family surname. This is a great shame for these backbone literati.

Before meeting Dong Changying, Ye Yuanhai had already looked for six or seven husbands for Ye Tuling, but they were all rejected by Ye Tuling for various reasons, and Ye Tuling also delayed from being in her teens to being in her twenties.

In the end, when Dong Changying compromised, it was not that Ye Duling recognized this somewhat corrupt scholar, but that she accepted her fate.

She knew that she would never really meet her favorite husband in this life, and she also knew that her struggle brought too much negative news to her family, so Ye Duling chose to default.

When he first met Dong Changying, Ye Duling felt no joy or sorrow. After all, Dong Changying was not likable at that time, but it was absolutely undespicable. At that time, Ye Duling completely accepted his fate when he was lifted by Dong Changying.

The last trace of resistance belonging to Ye Duling is also a well-known secret in the three rooms of the Ye family.

Ye Duling and Dong Changying still sleep in separate rooms.

After more than a year and a half, Ye Duling did not reunite with Dong Changying. During the first time when he got married, Ye Duling's inner resistance was subconscious - it was not that he hated Dong Changying, but that she was indeed not ready to go from a girl to a woman.

Half a year later, Ye Duling was finally able to convince himself that he would hand over his body to Dong Changying, but at that time, Dong Changying had been worn out all the edges and corners of his body by the long wait.

When Ye Duling saw Dong Changying coming back from the door drunk at night, she knew that the man in front of her completely regarded herself as a son-in-law.
