Ye Huaiyang's injury has not healed and it is inconvenient to move around, so he lives in the nearby Yefu. This kind of situation occurs at the beginning of the year, and the whole residence is a bit dull. The only thing to be happy about is that Ye Huaixin brought Ci Yuan back from Lingnan. .
At this time in previous years, Ye Huaiyang usually arranged the New Year's affairs at the home. The two rushed to the home as soon as they entered the city. When they heard the news of her assassination, their expressions changed.
"Boom boom boom-"
The Jiaotu copper ring on the door rattled wildly, with a force that seemed to smash it into pieces. The old butler opened the door while talking about being rude. Hastily bowed in salute.
"Eighth young master, resign the guards, you are back!"
Ye Huaixin stretched out his hand to lift him away, and rushed to Ye Huaiyang's bedroom without saying a word, but when Ci Yuan passed by, he asked, "How's Miss's injury?"
"Recovering well, thanks to Dr. Lu..."
The housekeeper suddenly stopped his mouth, looked at the two people who disappeared in the corner like lightning and flint, and reluctantly stopped and sighed, the young people today are too impatient...
But how could he understand? Ye Huaiyang has been held in the palm of the hands of the two brothers, Huaili and Huaixin, since he was a child. Not to mention the arrow, he never bumped a little bit while playing. Now he only went to Lingnan for a month before she was injured, teach him How can you not be in a hurry
Ye Huaixin rushed all the way to the south courtyard, and pushed open the bedroom door without communicating. At that time, Ye Huaiyang was sitting on the rocking chair drinking medicine, and when he saw that he was back, he suddenly smiled.
"Xin'er, when did you come back? Why don't you send anyone in advance... "
Before the words were finished, Ye Huaixin had strode over and grabbed her shoulders. The cold air rushed towards her face, mixed with the wind and dust of traveling through mountains and rivers, making her face slightly itchy.
"Sister, where are you hurt? Let me see!"
Ye Huaiyang frowned lightly, and was silent for a moment. Seeing that his face became more and more anxious, he pursed his lips towards his shoulder. Ye Huaixin followed her movements and retracted his hands like fire, which made Ye Huaiyang provoked. Laugh all the time.
"You're still smiling... Crescent Moon, show her! Did I touch her wound just now?"
"I'm fine, look at your fuss, am I so weak?" Ye Huaiyang said angrily.
Ye Huaixin had nothing to do with her, but the anger in his chest became more and more intense, and he saw him wave his sleeves heavily, and his cool voice cut across his ears like a wind blade: "I really underestimate his Bai family, who is the ancestor? He was born in the grass, and he can use a knife when he does things, and they dare to move you as soon as the eldest brother walks away, do you really think that there is no one in my Ye family?"
"It's my fault for letting go of my vigilance." Ye Huaiyang sighed, stood up slightly and said, "That person entrusted the Bai family with the task of assassinating the lord just because he was ruthless, so when they knew that it was me who watched the tide When planning, he came directly at me, which is normal, but fortunately, Bai Zhixuan thought that I simply wanted to take this opportunity to deal with the Bai family, and had no doubt that I had a relationship with the prince."
"Thankfully you're safe and sound!"
Ye Huaixin glared at her, her anger surged up again, as if she was blaming her for being full of Chu Jinglan but not thinking about herself. Seeing this, Crescent Moon standing beside her hurriedly served hot tea and said, "Eighth Young master, take a sip of tea to calm your nerves, it's been a day's work, and if you have anything to do, sit down and talk."
After she finished speaking, she also handed Ci Yuan a cup of tea, trying to keep him warm, but he didn't accept it, knelt down on one knee and said to Ye Huaiyang, "Miss Tianqi Tower's guard is not strong, my subordinates will go back here. punish them."
Ye Huaiyang waved his hand and said, "I don't blame them. They have already tried their best to have fewer enemies. You should get up too. Go back and have a good rest later. The trip to Lingnan has worked hard for you."
Ci Yuan hadn't spoken yet, but Ye Huaixin was reluctant. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sister, you only know how to console Ci Yuan, why didn't you ask me if I worked hard?"
"How dare I ask? Isn't the eighth young master still angry with me?" Ye Huaiyang looked at him leisurely and said.
Ye Huaixin choked and wanted to resign, thinking that this was a matter of life, how could Ye Huaiyang just deal with it like this, so he turned his face and didn't speak again. Seeing this, Ye Huaiyang opened the thin blanket and was about to get up, but the movement was a little labored. Ye Huaixin glanced over, and hurriedly threw down the tea cup to help her. After she stood still, she frowned and asked, "Again. What are you going to do?"
"Go to the study room, and I'll come back when you've calmed down."
Ye Huaixin's face turned green, and just as he was about to push her back into the chair, he suddenly remembered that she was injured, and he didn't dare to move his hands, he just hugged her and scolded, "It's freezing outside, you are wearing clothes again. What kind of study do you go to?" After speaking, he suddenly turned his head to attack Crescent Moon, "Crescent Moon, is this how you usually take care of your lady?"
Crescent Moon knew that Ye Huaixin was looking for the steps to go down, so she held back a smile and bowed to plead guilty: "It's the servants who did not serve me well, please punish the eighth young master."
"Forget it, I'm not in the mood to punish you." Ye Huaixin waved his hand and turned to look at Ye Huaiyang. She was half a head shorter than him. From this angle, her skin was fair and smooth, and she breathed well. In between, the fluff on the cheeks trembled slightly, like dandelions in the wind, but the face was obviously thinner, I don't know how pitiful.
How about mental toughness? How about being steady? She was always only eighteen years old, the baby of their Ye family, and he would not allow anyone to hurt her.
"Sit down, haven't you heard me report about Lingnan? Don't want to know what I brought back?"
Ye Huaiyang smiled and said, "I thought about it at first, but then you cut off the letter, and every day I just think about how to explain it to my eldest brother."
Ye Huaixin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. On the one hand, she was moved by her concern, and on the other hand, she was angry that she treated herself as a child. During the emotional pull, the hostile anger just now completely dissipated.
"I only came out a few seconds later than you, but you're a parent." Ye Huaixin pulled up a chair and sat beside her, and raised one hand back, "Ciyuan, bring something. "
Ci Yuan immediately took out a few letters from his arms and handed them to him. He opened one at random and showed it to Ye Huaiyang. She browsed to the end, and when she saw the bright red square seal, she was instantly happy.
"This is… "
"This is a letter between Bai Xingzhi and the vassal king of the Yi tribe. It contains the details of their transaction, as well as the bureaucrats involved and the seals of both parties." Ye Huaixin paused, and then said with a little smugness, "In addition, Before I left, I had already spoken to Chang Xin, the commander of Lingnan, and I believe that it won’t be long before she participated in Bai Xingzhi’s excerpt and sent it to the capital. At that time, there will be internal and external attacks, even if his Bai Xing’s tongue is as bright as a lotus. Don't want to get off the hook!"
"He caused Chang Xin to lose his soldiers and lose his generals, and has been criticized by the people. Now that Chang Xin has learned about this, he will definitely fight him to the death. With this pawn, we only need to make up for the knife at the critical moment." Ye Huaiyang put down the paper. , eyes full of praise, "Xin'er, well done."
"Can you still do what you told me to do?" Ye Huaixin squinted at her, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing pride.
"Then it's better to send the Buddha to the west, and help me to learn Yong and bring Linger back in the afternoon."
Ye Huaixin was stunned and asked inexplicably, "What does this have to do with Jie Ling'er?"
Ye Huaiyang folded the paper and stuffed it into the envelope, put it back in his hand, and said meaningfully, "The eldest brother is the commander of Guanzhong, and the uncle is the military supervisor. It is related to the advice, who are you going to ask to present these letters?"
"Linger can't do it..."
"She can't, but someone can."
Ye Huaiyang asked Ye Huaixin to come over and whispered a name, he pondered for a moment, then nodded suddenly, thinking that the girls' school would be closed tomorrow, it was not too late, he set off immediately.
When he was going out, a luxuriously decorated carriage happened to pass in front of the door, and then stopped in front of the gate of Prince Lan's Mansion. He looked at it for a moment and recognized the emblem on the wheel.
From the palace... what's the trick
He whispered a few words to the attendant, then glanced at the woman who got out of the car, and then turned to leave.
The sun sets in the west, the afterglow shines all over the long street, and the officials of the government office are located on both sides. They are solemn and majestic, but they are sparsely populated. Occasionally, a few scholars passing by are hurried by with their books in their arms, and the Confucian shirts and crowns are blown by the cold wind Time fell, leaving behind a string of light and shadow like a snake.
At this time, Xueyong's students were almost gone. Ye Huailing bent over to pack her things, and she was completely empty. She was not in a hurry. She slowly walked towards the door with the book in her arms, passing the main hall of the academy. When I looked into it from a distance, there was actually a person who was immersed in the high case.
Her eyes rolled, and her clasped arms suddenly loosened, and the booklet slips fell to the ground in an instant, fanning countless plum petals, rushing to both sides like waves. Such a loud noise naturally alarmed the people in the room. He looked up and happened to hear her coquettishly: "Aiya!"
Seeing her squatting down but not picking up anything, he thought she had been hit in the foot, so he put down the pen and paper and stood up immediately. The cyan gown went around the desk and swayed to her ankles like a stream. , quietly drew a wisp of a successful smile.
"Wai Ling, are you alright?"
She turned her head slowly, her mouth flat and she wanted to cry: "Mr. Pei, I hit my foot..."
It was the first time that Pei Yuanshu heard her call him so politely.
He is a teacher, she is a student, it would be too unsightly to walk out of the school with arms and arms like this...
Ye Huailing could see his struggling expression clearly, and cursed the idiot in his heart, but said pitifully, "Sir, can you help me pick up the book? I can go out by myself, I My brother is waiting for me at the door."
Pei Yuanshu seemed to be woken up by someone. He picked up the book in two or three times and put it in his arms. Then he couldn't bear to say, "Then...then stand up by yourself, and hold the book for your teacher."
Ye Huailing stood up crookedly and almost fell into the flower pile several times. Pei Yuanshu stretched out an arm to protect her, but he always kept two feet away and did not dare to get close, Ye Huailing secretly turned over. Rolling his eyes, he limped outside.
The road was neither long nor short, and it was embarrassing to be silent all the way, Ye Huailing picked up the topic and said, "Sir, are you going home for the Chinese New Year tomorrow?"
"My parents died early, and I have no close relatives in my hometown, so... I stayed in the capital for the New Year alone."
Ye Huailing blinked and looked into the eyes full of loneliness. She couldn't bear it for a moment, but she still asked what she thought: "Where is your hometown?"
"Lingnan Zhuo County."
"Lingnan? Could it be the place where Qijie said that officials colluded with the Yi people to plunder the people's money and grain..."
She whispered, and it reached Pei Yuanshu's ears inadvertently. His face changed slightly, and he forgot his etiquette. He grabbed her arm and asked, "Huai Ling, what did you just say?"
"I-I didn't say anything..."
Ye Huailing seemed to realize that she had said something she shouldn't have said, so she avoided his eyes in a panic. The door was just a short distance away. She grabbed the book and ran away without looking back. Pei Yuanshu didn't move, as if he had fallen into deep thought. , Junxiu's face was heavy with worry, lingering like a dark cloud.
On the other side, Ye Huailing had already got into the carriage numbly, Ye Huaixin raised her eyebrows lightly, as if asking her how she was doing, but she silently opened a corner of the car curtain and stared at the lonely figure, inexplicably. Some guilt.
"What's wrong?"
She pursed her lips slightly, her expression a little gloomy, "It's nothing, I just think it's so desolate to celebrate the New Year alone."
