In the quiet afternoon, the sun is warm and the smoke is rising. In the empty hall of the Ye family home, an old man and a young man are sitting on the seven-screen Taishi chairs and chatting with each other. spread to every corner.
"Li'er, have you heard the recent rumors about the court?"
Ye Huaili nodded slightly to Ye Xun, her jet-black pupils darkened, as if she could not speak.
People from the Criminal Bureau recently handed over the answer sheet, saying that Wang Feng was killed by a mob on the way to patrol. Since there are many people involved in the case, they are still in an intensive search. And Wang Feng's body had already been transported back to the capital. On the day of receiving the spirit, the Wang family found that there was a whip mark on his back. The depth of the mark did not seem to be injured by ordinary people. He strongly demanded a retrial of the case, but was dismissed by Chu Sanghuai due to insufficient evidence.
It is also true that this point alone cannot overturn the conclusion of the Ministry of Punishment. Maybe there are those who have practiced martial arts among the perpetrators, but Ye Huaili does not think so. From the length of the scars, the trend of the whip can be judged. , Looking at the position at the time, the whip must have attacked from an extremely tricky angle. Such a master is rare, so he can basically be sure that Wang Feng must have been assassinated on purpose.
He told Ye Xun all these inferences, but Ye Xun said, "You should go back to Guanzhong as soon as possible, and don't interfere in these matters."
The implication is that this matter is inseparable from the struggles of various parties in the imperial court.
The curvature of Ye Huaili's lips was extremely cold, and it took a long while to spit out a sentence: "I naturally don't care about these things, I'm afraid some people will squeeze their heads into this chaotic battle."
Ye Xun raised her eyebrows and said, "You mean Yang'er?"
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, just after he finished speaking, the butler appeared in front of the door panting, "Master, the eldest young master, the master and the prince are back for dinner."
Ye Huaili's face suddenly turned cold, Ye Xun waved away the housekeeper and persuaded graciously: "Yang'er rarely comes back once, don't keep putting on this face, so that she won't be a hard person between you and the prince. "
"It's hard to be a person and I don't see her shrinking back half a point. Isn't she still following him with all her heart?"
Ye Xun stroked her gray beard and said slowly, "I see that the lord treats her very well, and everything goes smoothly, just like a child who is accustomed to his own. This kind of situation is considered the best in the ruthless royal family. , Besides, he has been very peaceful in the DPRK recently, and there is no suspicious behavior, so don't be too demanding."
Ye Huaili snorted coldly and said, "Uncle, he has a deep mind and is known for being a city man. If he is really planning something wrong in the dark, how can you and I see it? Not to mention Yang'er, he is simply venting his anger through his nostril. She will kill herself sooner or later!"
"Then what can you do now? Forcibly break them up?" Ye Xun shook her head and couldn't hide her sigh, "Yang'er has been a very assertive child since she was a child, what she believes is difficult for your father to change, not to mention It's you."
Hearing this, the cluster of stars in Ye Huaili's eyes flickered, as if something flashed out of it.
Why didn't he think of his own father? That is the most wise and courageous person in the entire Ye family. With him in charge of the house, are you still afraid that Ye Huaiyang will be dishonest
After making up her mind, Ye Huaili was about to go to the inn right away, but she turned around and a petite figure came into sight, wearing a white-patterned ephemera skirt with smoke and water, with a jade step behind her ear, Two lake-blue ribbons tangled from Lingyun's bun, swaying with her brisk pace.
When had she been so focused on dressing up at home before
The words "Women's pleasure for oneself" were deeply inserted into Ye Huaili's heart. When he thought that this was all for Chu Jinglan's sake, he became more and more uncomfortable. Huaiyang was sinking deeper and deeper, unable to extricate herself.
Thinking of this, he walked around Ye Huaiyang and went out the door, ready to send a letter, but Ye Huaiyang directly put a pestle in front of him, blinked his eyes like a deer and asked, "Where are you going, brother? Don't accompany me? Have dinner?"
Ye Huaili said coldly, "There are so many people in the family, why do you still want me to accompany you?"
"If you don't want it, forget it..." Ye Huaiyang's face was dark, and she took back the hand that was holding him, "You would feed me when I was sick when I was a child, and now you don't want to sit at the same table with me. Go, did you like a noble girl from a certain family, and put all your thoughts on others..."
Ye Huaili turned her head and glared at her: "You think everyone is the same as you!"
"How can this be compared? I don't care about my husband. What if he comes back with three wives and four concubines? But brother, you are different. You are a handsome son, and even if you don't think about it, people will stick to you..."
Someone was chanting a crooked reason, and a warning voice came from behind: "Yang'er."
Who wants to marry three wives and four concubines? Dare to bullshit in front of him!
Ye Huaiyang turned around slowly, smiling innocently, as if she had forgotten what she said just now, Chu Jinglan also let her pretend to be dumb, walked in and put his hand around her waist, and then stopped Zheng Yu. Ye Xun, who saluted, said, "I went to the palace for more than a month, and Yang'er said that she missed her uncle very much, so I brought her here. It was abrupt, and I hope the house will prepare our meals."
Such a humorous tone immediately relaxed the atmosphere, and Ye Xun even said with a smile: "How could it be? There will always be a room for you in the Ye family, so come back more often!"
"That being the case, Yang'er and I will stay here tonight."
Ye Huaiyang turned his head to look at him in surprise and asked softly, "Is it alright?"
"As long as you want." Chu Jinglan smiled lightly.
"That's great! You can play Ye Zixi with Xin'er Linger tonight!" Ye Huaiyang was full of excitement, and then she hugged Ye Huaili's arm with a stubborn look, "Brother is not allowed to leave, otherwise We can't get the table together."
Ye Huaili said angrily: "Let go, I have an appointment with a noble girl Hua Qian Yue Xia, and I don't have the heart to accompany you."
Obviously choking her with the nonsense she just said.
Ye Huaiyang giggled with joy, her waist could no longer be straightened, her whole body was hanging crookedly on his bent arm, her appearance was very ridiculous, but the men present could not help her to speak and act like this. The one who reprimanded her was already doted on.
"Which noble girl is important to me? No, you can't leave without saying anything." After speaking, Ye Huaiyang ordered a group of servants outside the door, "Who let the eldest young master go tonight and wait for him!"
The crowd held back their laughter and replied in unison, "Yes, the slaves obey."
"Are you pointing at them to stop me?" Ye Huaili raised her eyebrows, obviously ignoring her order, but let her lead her to the dining room, feeling the little hand clenched tightly. Sweat dripped from his fingers.
Ye Huaiyang smiled slyly, and suddenly stopped to wink at Chu Jinglan who was behind him: "Husband, you are the only one in the whole mansion that you can do with eldest brother. You must help me in a while."
Chu Jinglan was silent, the corners of his lips curled up in a shallow arc, as clear as the wind and moon.
After dinner, the couple returned to the yard where Ye Huaiyang used to live, the carp pond, flowers and trees, boudoir embroidered couch, everywhere are quiet and pleasant, from which you can glimpse the sweetness and vitality of the girl, and feel her uniqueness. That calm, without the slightest weird feeling, just like the coquettish she and the independent she are so skillfully and perfectly integrated that he was so addicted that he couldn't let go for a moment.
Seeing her eagerly pulling Ye Huaixin and Ye Huailing into the house to yard the leaves, Chu Jinglan took a long time to look away, then took a sip of the tea with the white jade cup, the mellow fragrance had a subtle bitter taste, and after entering the throat It turned into a return.
The person next to him also silently tasted the new Mingqian Longjing pot. He kept the tea cup in his hand, and it was not too hot. He waited until it gradually cooled before speaking. Desolate late autumn.
"You vomited so badly in the palace before, is she pregnant?"
Chu Jinglan looked at the densely packed wisteria flowers under the wall, without even moving his fingers, he asked in a leisurely manner, "Why don't you ask Yang'er?"
"Will she tell me the truth!" Ye Huaili turned her head abruptly, her words condensed like ice, "She is so focused on you that her mind is dizzy, don't you know how powerful it is?"
"I know."
The short three words flowed into Ye Huaili's heart like a clear stream, and instantly extinguished the flame.
Since he said so, presumably Yang'er is not pregnant.
Ye Huaili's high-hanging heart returned to its place, but it was not as stable as he imagined. He began to suspect that his bottom line was gradually disappearing. Originally, he strongly opposed Ye Huaiyang and Chu Jinglan being together, but now as long as she is alive and kicking That's alright, even invisibly he has become an accomplice to cover for her, it's crazy!
This is the first time I don't want to go back to Guanzhong.
Ye Huaili's mind was in a mess, and the cutting continued to make things messy. At this moment, the Yefu guard commander hurriedly came to the front of the courtyard. He seemed to have something to report. Seeing that he didn't mean to avoid Chu Jinglan, he said bluntly. Not shy.
"Eldest young master, my subordinates just received the news that the young master of the Wang family and the young master of the Xie family fought in the restaurant, and the young master of the Xie family was seriously injured."
Ye Huaili's eyes narrowed and she said, "Why are you fighting?"
"According to the onlookers, it was the young master of the Wang family who angrily pointed out that the Xie family was the murderer of Wang Feng's assassination. The young master of the Xie family retorted angrily. Both sides were more violent, so they started fighting."
How could the Wang family think so for no reason? Did you find any evidence
Ye Huaili then asked, "Did he ever tell who the murderer was?"
The guard replied without hesitation: "The young master of the Wang family said that he has compared the whip wounds, and it is no different from the whipping technique of Xie Peng, the commander of the guards of the Xie residence. To confront him, the strange thing is that Xie Peng disappeared for no apparent reason a few days ago. Now, the Wang family thinks that the Xie family deliberately hid him or silenced him, and the two families have already made trouble with the emperor at this time."
Ye Huaili was not surprised by this result. One of the two families died and the other was injured, and the non-sacred inquisition could not end it. What surprised him was that after so many years of tug of war, Wang Xie had completely torn his face for the position of governor of Jiangnan. What was there that he didn't know about
Ye Huaili consciously looked at Chu Jinglan, but he was just drinking tea silently, his expression was calm, his eyes were not squinting, as if all his thoughts were in this green water, and as the green leaves rolled and relaxed, he felt at ease. square.
Before he thought about it, a soft voice suddenly came from behind him: "Brother, come in quickly, you are the only one left!"
The author has something to say: In the middle of the night, Yejia's rubbing game is still in full swing
Ye Huaixin: Linger, you peeked at my card again!
Ye Huailing: Oh, I can't help it, Yuan Shu is not here, I can't remember the cards so I have to play some tricks!
Ye Huaili: Seven Little Pairs with Self-touching
Everyone: Oops, why did you fool again
Ye Huaiyang: No way, my back hurts, my lord, please help me a few laps
So the prince came on stage and glanced at the drawer where the money was placed.
Lord Wang silently endured
It was another circle, Ye Huaili had a handful of two-five-eight in his hand, and he heard it fly. Ye Huaixin, who was at the top, just finished playing his cards, and he followed it and drew a card, and he saw that it was two dots. , said it was too late and then too fast, Wang Ye pushed the card!
Chu Jinglan: I'm sorry I didn't see it just now, huh.
Ye Huaili vomited blood, and Ye Huaiyang, who was behind, laughed until her liver trembled
Two more laps, the game is over, the reason: all three brothers and sisters lost all
Lord Wang Ye held a pile of silver and said: Can you go to bed
Ye Huaiyang smiled and pulled him back to the room: Can it be possible!
The prince said again: I forgot to tell you, that's how the gold mine of the father lost to me.
