Chapter 54: Uncle Ouyang Jingming



Hua Fushu chose to go the other way, "I'm not like that. I don't need to accommodate anyone, especially you!"

Ye Zelin said calmly, "I'm not asking you to accommodate me, but as a woman, shouldn't you behave like a woman?"

After saying this, he went out.

Hua Fushu scolded Ye Zelin a few times, with a manner that was somewhat like a shrew scolding in the street.

It took Sanqiao a long time to persuade Hua Fushu to wash up with her clever words.

After washing her body, Sanqiao changed Hua Fushu into the clothes prepared by Ye Zelin, applied osmanthus oil on her hair, parted Hua Fushu's black hair in the middle, combed it into a bun, and put a plum blossom-shaped lily hairpin on it.

Ye Zelin waited outside the door until it opened, and saw Hua Fushu coming out. She was wearing a skirt, a light pink cross-collared top, and a Xiangfei-style bottom. She had fair skin and was lightly made up.

There was a hint of elegance in her attire, which was completely different from her previous attire, and she had a bit of the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

However, when she swaggered out of the room, her ladylike demeanor was completely gone. Ye Zelin held his forehead, annoyed again, and commanded her, "Stand still."

Hua Fushu refused, and looked at Ye Zelin provocatively with her hands on her hips. Ye Zelin took out a brocade box from his sleeve and walked towards her. Hua Fushu couldn't help but step back. Ye Zelin said, "Don't move."

As he spoke, he opened the brocade box and took the things in the box in his hands.

It was a pear blossom crescent moon hairpin, which swayed gently, causing ripples.

Hua Fushu stopped and looked at the hairpin. It looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

Not only did she feel familiar with it, Sanqiao also felt it was very familiar.

Isn’t it familiar?

Sanqiao remembered that the hairpin was given to her by Madam Ouyang during the tea party on the second day after her marriage. She just took a look at it and then handed it to her to put away.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zelin actually brought it.

This hairpin is a bit old and has been around for a long time, but it still has a faint luster.

Hua Fushu didn't know what Ye Zelin was going to do, so she retreated to the private room. Ye Zelin told her not to move, and walked forward with his hairpin. He approached her, his tall figure towering over her, and said, "I'll help you put it on."

He held the hairpin and gestured through her hair, trying to figure out where to wear it.

Hua Fushu looked up slightly and suddenly found that Ye Zelin had a very straight nose, his eyes were full of concentration and seriousness, and his face was so exquisite and ingenious.

For some reason, my heart seemed to be beating faster than usual, and my breathing seemed to be two or three times faster.

There was a blush on her face that couldn't be covered up even with makeup.

Ye Zelin was only focused on himself and didn't notice Hua Fushu's changes. When he saw Hua Fushu raise her head, he gently pressed her head down, put the hairpin in her hair, and said lightly, "Okay."

Ye Zelin stepped back, and the blush on Hua Fushu's face faded away. Sanqiao noticed the subtle change in Hua Fushu and asked her what was wrong. Hua Fushu just said that she was fine.

Ye Zelin knocked on the door of the private room next to him. The person inside was just squinting his eyes, but he was not asleep and came out soon.

Ye Zelin said, "It's time to set off. Side, go get the carriage to the door."

The Four Virtues are.

He went downstairs and saw the flowers growing lushly and looking brand new. Her pretty face was more beautiful than flowers and her beauty was more gorgeous than spring red. He couldn't help but be stunned.

The one in front of me is more pleasing to the eye than the previous one. She deserves the title of "the most beautiful girl in the south of the city" as the waiter at Sanjiang Tower said.

Sanqiao looked at Side, and Side hurried downstairs.

The restaurant was not far from Ouyang's house, and they arrived there quickly.

Hua Fushu looked at the house in front of him. The trees on both sides were different from those of other houses. There were no lions, unicorns or black tortoises squatting on them, but two albizzia trees.

This Albizia Julibrissin is about ten feet tall, with green leaves and thick stems. It tastes sweet and is neutral in nature. It is effective in treating lung abscess, traumatic injuries, mouth ulcers in children, and stroke spasms. In addition, Albizia Julibrissin also has the effect of relieving depression and calming the mind.

Hua Fushu looked at the albizzia tree again and couldn't help but wonder, the pear blossoms were planted outside the general's mansion because Madam Ouyang liked pear blossoms. Were the albizzia trees in the Ouyang family planted because someone liked them?

Hua Fushu was puzzled when a resonant male voice interrupted her thoughts, "You've been waiting for me for so long, and now you're finally here."

Coming out from the gate was a man in a light blue round-necked, straight-hem brocade robe. He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a handsome face, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, a nose like a hanging gall bladder, red lips and white teeth. He was masculine, gentle, and refreshing.

The man's surname is Ouyang, his given name is Zhan and his courtesy name is Jingming. He is Ye Zelin's uncle.

Ouyang Jingming walked down the stairs and approached the group. He approached Ye Zelin and gently patted his shoulder. "Xiaolin, you've grown stronger in the past two years. The Song-Liao border is indeed a place that tests people. I remember you went to war around this time two years ago. You were in a bad mood then, and I was worried you wouldn't be able to win the battle, but I didn't expect you to win three battles and return triumphantly."

Hua Fushu's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't it right after she ran away from her marriage when Ye Zelin went to war two years ago?

Could it be that Ye Zelin went to war because he was provoked by her running away from marriage?

Ouyang Jingming's gaze passed Ye Zelin and moved to Ye Songyan. He looked at him carefully, surprised and delighted, "You, you are Xiao Si?"

Ye Songyan greeted him, "Songyan greets Master Ouyang."

Ouyang Jingming walked over, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good boy, men change a lot when they grow up. Fortunately, you and Xiaolin are somewhat similar, otherwise I really wouldn't recognize you."

Ye Songyan said, "I'm not a child anymore. I've changed a lot."

Ouyang Jingming laughed again and said, "That's right. If I didn't know that you were born by Xu Feiqiong, I would have thought you were born by my sister."

After saying that, Ye Zelin coughed lightly, and the man realized something.

Ouyang Jingming and Ye Zelin asked, "Where's your wife? I've been missing her."

Ye Zelin looked at Hua Fushu, and the man looked in the direction he looked.

Hua Fushu felt uncomfortable being stared at by two men for no apparent reason.

Ouyang Jingming looked Hua Fushu up and down, left and right, and asked after a long moment, "Is this girl really your wife?"

Ye Zelin nodded, "It's genuine."

Ouyang Jingming was quite disappointed. "She was so pretty when she was little. She was sure to be a stunning beauty when she grows up. I never thought she would grow up to be something different."

Hua Fushu didn't know who he was, but from what he said, he knew it was her. This person must have a close relationship with the Ouyang family, otherwise how could he have met her.

Although I am annoyed, I can't get angry right now.

Ye Zelin pointed to Ouyang Jingming and Hua Fushu and said, "This is my mother's cousin."

Seed brother?

Hua Fushu was quite puzzled as to why someone would call her that. She scratched her ears and said with a smile, "This name is a bit strange."

As he said this, he couldn't help but smile again.

Ouyang Jingming glared at Ye Zelin.

Ye Zelin was slightly embarrassed and quickly averted his gaze. He lowered his eyes to look at Hua Fushu and introduced him again seriously, "My mother's cousin Ouyang Zhan, courtesy name Jingming."

"Hey," Hua Fushu waved his hand, "cousin is cousin, why bother calling him cousin? I thought he was called seed brother."

Ouyang Jingming glanced at Hua Fushu unhappily. Ye Zelin was helpless as well. He still explained, "In ancient times, a man of the same generation who shared the same grandfather but not the same father and was younger than oneself was considered a younger brother. A younger brother is also a cousin."

Hua Fushu glanced at Ouyang Jingming and asked, "So he is your cousin?"
