third chapter
In the side hall of the front yard of the Sheng family, Ye Ming and the others were sitting at attention, and the servants served them tea and snacks. ...
Not long after, a woman came up. She was of average appearance, well-dressed and looked like a matron of the house. She was followed by several maids and women. Ye Ming thought this was Mrs. Wang.
When the visitor saw Xiao Ye, he said enthusiastically: "Ms. Ye is here."
Ye Ming and the other three people stood up and greeted Mrs. Wang, "I have met Mrs. Wang."
Mrs. Wang smiled and returned the greeting, then looked at Ye Ming and the others: "Who are these two?"
Ye Qingya explained: "This is my husband, his surname is Ding and his name is Xiu. He is a farmer. He doesn't know etiquette. Don't take it offence, madam."
Mrs. Wang waved her hand slightly, "It doesn't matter."
Ye Qingya continued, "This is my brother Sanlang Ming, who is currently studying in the academy."
Mrs. Wang looked at Ye Ming and her eyes lit up: "You are good at studying, you are good at studying. You are also handsome and talented. You will have good prospects for the imperial examination in the future."
Ye Ming replied neither humble nor arrogantly: "Ming's qualifications are dull, and he dare not think about the imperial examination now. But the second brother of the Sheng family is talented and smart, and he will definitely be named on the gold list in the future."
Madam Wang listened to Ye Ming's praise of her son, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter. "Brother Ming is so humble."
The titles seem much closer to each other
Ye Qingya was so busy that she said, "Madam, I collected some local specialties from my house today and brought them over for Madam and Master Tongpan to taste. I also heard that my eldest sister is in labor, so I stopped by to visit. I have caused trouble for Madam."
Mrs. Wang is not a fool. She knows that she wants to visit Xiaoniang Ye. However, Ye Xiaoniang found her by herself, and she was still respectful to him on weekdays. This little Ye family also knew how to be polite, so there was no embarrassment.
At this time, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps outside, and the sound of "Lord" attracted everyone's attention.
After a while, a handsome middle-aged man in his early thirties walked in. This man was the head of the Sheng Pian family, Sheng Hongsheng, the current magistrate of Yangzhou.
Everyone bowed and came to the main seat to look at Mr. Ye: "So it's Mrs. Ye. These two are Ding Langjun and Ye Xiaolang, right?"
"I've seen Shanda people." Ye Ming and the other two saluted.
Seeing that the person coming was the concubine's mother-in-law, Sheng Hong didn't care much, but he still had to get along for the sake of face.
"Let's all sit down" and then there was an awkward chat.
Sheng Hong also noticed the awkward atmosphere, "Brother Ming must have not seen your eldest sister for a long time. Since Madam Ye is here, why don't you take Brother Ming to see Qingyi and Minglan?"
"Thank you, Mr. Shanda. That's what I meant," Ye Qingya quickly replied.
Ye Ming and Ye Qingya followed the servants for a long time and came to a small courtyard. It was Ye Qingyi's courtyard. The meeting of the three siblings was naturally a touching scene. Xiao Minglan had just been born and could not see it. Something happened. After staying for more than an hour, the two siblings left. It was like this when she couldn't live with anyone else. Before leaving, Ye Qingya gave her eldest sister a hundred taels of silver. Ye Ming also gave his eldest sister a banknote, a full five hundred taels, and told her that if it was not enough, she would have someone send a message to her family.
Three years later, Ye Ming is now thirteen years old. Thirteen-year-old Ye Ming is about the same height as a 17- or 18-year-old boy, almost 1.8 meters tall. Since that day when he came back from visiting his eldest sister in the Sheng family, Ye Ming has been practicing literary and martial arts every day. He also asked his second sister to sell a three-carat yard in the city, move to the city, and buy some good farmland and shops. Since moving to the city, the two siblings have spent more time going to Sheng Mansion. Seeing that the Ye family is getting richer, Sheng Mansion's attitude has also improved a lot. Ye Xiaoniang's life in Sheng Mansion was also much better.
In the past three years, Ye Ming has also collected all the military commander sets mentioned in the system.

After looking at his current equipment, it was indeed luxurious. Minglan was also three years old, and it was time to make contributions. Otherwise, how can I support this family?
On this day, siblings Ye Ming and Ye Qingya came to Sheng Mansion to visit their eldest sister Ye Qingyi. The main reason was that Ye Ming wanted to come and have a look. Ye Ming had already planned to join the army when he entered Japan, but he couldn't tell his sisters this. , just said that he was going on a study tour. If you arrive at the military camp, you won't be able to come back soon, so come and take a look before you leave.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw a little girl about three years old with two pigtails playing with the little maid in the yard.
"Ms. Ye, Ye Xiaolang, why are you here?" Xiaodie said happily when she saw the visitor.
"Miss Six, look who is here"
Then he shouted into the room, "Miss Ye, Madam Ye and Ye Xiaolang are here to see you."
"Aunt, uncle" Minglan shouted excitedly when she saw Ye Ming and Ye Qingya, and then ran over in a bounding motion.
At this time, a beautiful woman wearing a light-colored skirt came out of the house and looked at Xiao Ye and Ye Ming, "Second sister, Brother Ming, why are you here?" But the joy in her eyes almost overflowed. . Although there have been more opportunities to meet in recent years, compared to the past, we have only seen each other less often in a year.
"big sister"
Ye Qingyi looked at Ye Ming, stretched out her hand to touch Ye Ming's head, but it was almost out of reach, "Hey, our brother Ming has grown taller again. He is an adult now."
"If I eat more, I will naturally grow taller," Ye Ming said with a smile.
When Ming Lan saw several people patronizing her and no one paying attention to her, she coquettishly said to Ye Ming, "Uncle, Lan'er wants a hug."
Ye Ming lowered his head and looked at the little one, "Oh, come on, uncle, hold me, Lan'er is so good."
"Stop standing in the courtyard, go inside and sit down." Daye said to the maid behind her, "Xiaodie, go prepare tea and snacks."
A few people sat down, and Ye Ming held the little one in his arms and chatted about home affairs.
"Sister, I'm going to go on a study tour soon." Ye Ming said softly when he saw that the atmosphere was good.
"Study tour? Why is it so sudden?" Daye said in surprise
"This has been planned for a long time. Now that I have finished my studies, I should have taken the imperial examination. However, I feel that I am still young and plan to take the exam in a year or two. I just take advantage of this period to go on a study tour to increase my knowledge. It has been arranged," Ye Ming explained.
"Since you have decided, go ahead, just pay attention to safety." Daye warned
"Sister, don't worry. My brother has recruited some leaf guards in the past two years. They are all very skilled. Plus Yuan Fang, there will be no problem in terms of safety."
Mr. Daye still took the trouble to explain, "That's good. Don't argue with others when you go out. Let him take care of everything. Safety is the most important thing."
Ye Ming also patiently agreed, "My brother will remember it, don't worry about beating my sister."
I stayed in Daye's yard for an hour. During this period, Daye was mostly talking and Ye Ming was listening. He teased Xiao Minglan from time to time. Daye really treated Ye Ming as his son. After all, Ye Ming was born after he was two years old. It's all taken care of by Daye.
When he returned home, he called Yuanfang and asked, "Is Yuanfang ready?"
"Master, you are all ready and ready to go at any time," Li Yuanfang replied, and then said in a rather awkward tone, "But Wan'er and the others are clamoring to be together, and each of them said that they want to be at the master's side at any time."
Ye Ming smiled and said, "I will tell them. You don't have to worry about it. Since everything is ready, let's set off tomorrow."
"I understand, my lord, I'll go down and give you instructions."
"Call Wan'er over."
"yes"
"Wan'er has met the Lord," a crisp voice sounded in her ears.
"Wan'er, I want to join the army and will set off tomorrow. The military camp is no better than the others, so I won't take you there. You can take good care of the house for me at home, especially the eldest sister. That Miss Lin from Sheng Mansion is not a good person. Yes. Do you know?"
Wan'er looked very unhappy, and Gao pouted, "I know, don't worry, sir."
"In addition, this matter must be kept secret. The eldest sister and the second sister must not expose the truth." Ye Ming pretended not to see it and continued to explain.
"Well, Wan'er saved it."
