Chapter 336: A Craftsman as Well

their own grandmother’s half a tooth with a loud "crunch".The old woman covered her mouth in pain, unable to speak, tears streaming down her face.This wasn't over yet. Earlier, the granddaughter who h..."Could Fourth Sister have been suspecting all along that Grandfather's death was related to Grandmother" On her way out of Fulu Courtyard, Ye Chulian said, "Fourth Sister wouldn't do anything without a reason. You having us discard both the medicines must have been for a purpose." 。“ Night Wen then asked her, "What do you think about the death of your grandfather" Night Chu Lian thought for a moment, “My aunt once said that the old master hadn't reached his seventy years, and his body had always been strong. Although he wasn't as vigorous as when he was young, it wasn't to the point of..." 。She always felt that something was wrong, but no one in the family pursued it, and no one would listen to her, so she could only let it go. 。“ She paused for a moment, her voice lowered slightly, "Sister, I think this way: if there's something wrong with Grandfather's death, then Uncle's death is even more suspicious." 。At first, everyone thought he got sick because he was heartbroken. But do you think this method is reliable My uncle was a general who fought on the battlefield. He saw too many lives lost. Those brothers who were drinking together the night before might have their heads chopped off the next day. 。So even if one's own father passed away, it wouldn't be so heartbreaking that they would risk their own life. 。"You see, you understand this reason. How could others possibly not" 。" The original owner's memory of what happened was very deep. 。Father passed away, mother cried until she fainted several times. Every time she woke up, she would be in disbelief, saying it was impossible, that your father couldn't just die like this. 。It's too late for her, she can't bring him back even if she cries. 。Ye Chulian continued, "If Grandfather's medicine was tampered with, then perhaps someone on Uncle's side also had a hand in it." 。I just can't understand, if there was something unresolved between grandmother and grandfather that led her to need his death to ease the anger in her heart. 。“Why would her uncle do that What reason could she possibly have to harm her own son” Night Wenyan didn’t know what grudge the old woman had against her eldest son. Even if her father's death had nothing to do with the old woman, her attitude towards her eldest son and his family was undeniable. 。

"Sister"> 。"Ye Chu Lian took her arm, "I don't mind how much. I just want to be with my elder sister. If you need any help, please tell me, no matter what it is, I can do it." 。"Ye Wen looked at her for a while, then asked: "Are you sure you want to participate You need to know that investigating this matter is very dangerous. One misstep and you could be silenced." 。I can protect myself, but I can't always keep you safe. 。"It's okay, I'm not afraid. 。"Ye Chu was very serious about feeling pity." 。"What if in the future, you have to face a very difficult choice""Are you my father" Ye Chu Lian's face was bitter, "Sister, I can guarantee that my stepmother is clean in these matters, and I only care about my stepmother..." 。As for my father, he is to me like a stranger. 。Perhaps Eldest Brother still yearned for his parents' love and attention, while I never even considered it. 。Since I was little, I knew that if I wanted to survive in this house, I had to keep my presence as low as possible, so low that they forgot about me altogether. Only then could I live. 。She covered her face for a moment, then let go, her expression full of bitterness. 。"Unfortunately, even though we've already pushed ourselves to the limit, they still refuse to let me go. 。If it weren't for this funeral, I might have been engaged. The other party was a fool, the nephew of Madam Xiao's family. 。My father, in order to curry favor with the Xiao family and solidify the relationship between General's Manor and the Xiao family, wants to send me to a fool. And this is my good fortune because that fool is the eldest son, and I would be his legitimate wife if I marry him. 。As a daughter from the lower ranks, I'm able to marry into the family as the legitimate wife of the heir. This is a blessing from my past life. It's because the second madam had me in mind that she gave me this excellent match. 。 。" Night Wenyan didn't have any impression of this matter. The affairs of the second house were always done secretly, and Old Madam wouldn't do it in front of everyone. So she didn't know about it, and her mother, Mu Shi, probably didn't either. 。Ye Chulian continued, "Later, because our family had several deaths in quick succession, we had to put this matter on hold." 。Sis, you probably wouldn't believe this, but in my memory, my father has never smiled at me. Every time he looked at me, I felt like there was a calculating glint in his eyes. 。He has always been scheming, calculating where each of his children could be sent and what benefits they could bring him. 。We are like objects, held in his hand, bought and sold. 。" Night Wenyan sighed, she was also helpless. The second room of the Ye family lived out the feeling of the head of the first room, on the contrary, the first room here was peaceful and harmonious. 。Of course, also removing the endless night. 。Now that the second house has taken over as the head of the family, both Ye Zhi Sheng and Xiao Shi have more room to develop. The days ahead should be even more exciting! It's just these children who are suffering, wondering what their future will hold. 。"Sister 。"Ye Chu Lian shook her twice, "Just take me with you! I'm a member of the Ye family. If the Ye family falls, I have to fall with it. So I have to find a way out for myself." 。“ What kind of future do you want” 。"Ye Chu leaned her head and shook it, "I only know that following my fourth older sister is the right thing to do." 。Sister, don't blame me for being calculative and taking advantage of you. Even if I am using you, I will give my all. I won't be ungrateful. 。I just hope that in the future, when my wife and I are at our wit's end, Fourth Sister will help us out, just like you helped Second Brother. I don't ask for anything else. 。"

Night Five, who had always been pitiable, was surprisingly resolute at this moment, her gaze unusually firm. 。Ye Wenyan nodded. "Then follow me! As for those who wholeheartedly follow me, I will never let them suffer." 。“ Ye Chu Lian was overjoyed, even her maidservant Suixi was happy for her. 。With the master secured, the maidservant also benefited. With the protection of the fourth sister, her future finally seemed bright. 。Then Sui Xi asked, "Will Fifth Sister still listen to the two elders and learn those strange things"Ye Wenyan was puzzled. "What strange things What did your father have you learn"Ye Chulian sighed, "It's a kind of dance where one dances while drawing on the ground with their feet..." 。When there is snow on the ground, draw in the snow. In spring and autumn when there is no snow on the ground, tie good dye to your feet and use the dye to draw. 。But the master who taught me used dye to paint, which was uninteresting and no one liked to look at it. The true essence of painting dance is to paint with blood. 。to prick one's foot in advance and use one's own blood to draw 。" Night Wenyan heard and frowned. Were the people of Beizhi sick Where did they come up with so many strange dance styles Li Yanran had done a knife-tip dance, and now Ye Chulian was doing a painting dance. What kind of person would spend all day after eating to study this stuff "Don't worry, Fourth Sister, I haven't learned these two anymore, and I also made it clear to my dancing master that I won't learn this kind of thing. Once she finishes taking this month's silver, she can leave" 。This kind of dance takes a crooked path. A man who is attracted to this kind of dance is not necessarily a good person either. 。As for learning other things... I actually couldn't learn much. The tea master and the two calligraphy masters also left, and the qin and painting masters haven't been paid their final wages by the household. They left three days ago. 。" That's it, the two old masters want the horse to run but won't feed it grass. They want to take advantage of others for nothing! How can they be so stingy" Night Chu Lian said, "It's not necessarily stingy. He has been generous before, maybe he just doesn't want to cultivate me anymore! Actually, I don't care about these things, whether I learn or not there isn't much loss..." 。I have actually fantasized about having a shop of my own, where I could manage it according to my whims. If that were the case, I would open a brewery and personally brew the sake. 。Sister Four still doesn't know, I have a secret skill of brewing wine, passed down to me by my aunt. 。"Uh..." 。"Ye Chu leaned her head and nodded. "Auntie, come with me. The Liu family originally owned a distillery. Many years ago, the distillery was located on a deep alleyway outside the city. Every time they opened a vat, the aroma would attract many people." 。The real thing lives up to the saying, good wine needs no bush. 。My aunt has lived in the winery since she was young. She watched my grandfather brew wine and even helped to taste it. 。Grandfather only had this one child, so all his skills were passed down to her. 。It was probably around five or six years old that she started teaching. Anyway, according to my aunt, before she sold herself into slavery, her winemaking skills were even better than grandpa's. 。“When Ye Chulian heard these words, her eyes sparkled. Her whole person became lively, “It's a pity that later my grandfather offended someone, the winery was destroyed by people, and my aunt was forced to sell herself into slavery, becoming a maidservant for others, and later became a concubine of the Ye family.” 。These years, my daughter and I have been the most leisurely people in the General's Mansion. When we have nothing to do, my aunt taught me the art of brewing wine again. 。I've secretly practiced, Auntie. I'm pretty good at it, my skills aren't worse than hers. 。"

Ye Wen heard this and had some thoughts. She told Ye Chulian: "I gave the Li family's medical hall in the inner city to my elder brother, and the cloth shop next to it to my elder sister. I heard that my brother has been busy there these days, as if he wants to connect the two shops and turn them all into a medical hall" 。I think the craft of brewing is quite good, so I want to make a batch of medicinal wine. 。I'll add the medicinal properties to the wine, you just need to brew it. I'll do my best to make sure the medicinal properties don't affect the taste and texture of the wine, so people can strengthen their bodies and even treat illnesses while drinking. 。"What do you think of this idea" Night Chu Lian's joy was almost overflowing her eyes. She grabbed Night Wen Yan's hand, her excitement causing her to speak incoherently: "Good, good, great! I'll start brewing right now." 。No, no, we need to prepare materials first, and find a place. It can't be at home, my father and the second wife won't allow it. 。Then I'll just go to the clinic, I'll get things ready for my big brother first, once the clinic is sorted out I'll start... 。Not quite, not quite, we're still short on silver. Buying materials will cost a lot of money too. 。"Hurry back to my house, and let's see how much silver we can still scrape together!"t Li Changshan like an idiot, his mind constantly recalling these years of dealings with the Minister of Works, thinking about whether he had neglected something and didn't see that this was a fool. 。...
