There are many pavilions, terraces and pavilions, and there are many rockeries.
The huge spiritual pool is pregnant with endless and majestic spiritual energy, which keeps rising.
"Master, master, oh... how many times have I told you, that young man is just a person from a separate family, why do you need to meet him in person, we can arrange this small matter for us." A middle-aged woman in a fancy dress has a serious face.
In front of her was an old man with a flickering spirit.
The two manes are slightly white, and he is dressed in a crane cloak.
His gaze sank, and the atmosphere around him seemed to suddenly press down, making one feel a little out of breath.
"Zhong Yun, where are you talking about? No matter how you say it, he is also the son of Chongtian's younger brother, so the relationship is not too far away. Also, Chongtian sent me a letter saying that the child may be here in two days. As soon as you have news about him, tell me right away, got it?"
"I… "
The middle-aged woman sighed slightly, shook her head slightly, and remained silent.
"Zhong Yun! I'm going on a long trip starting tomorrow, so don't let me worry about it before I leave."
Zhong Yun smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay... I know, can't it work if I know?"
"Since this is the case, I still need to calm down and cultivate my energy to consolidate my realm, so you should step back first." The old man waved his hand slightly towards the outside.
"yes… "
Zhong Yun frowned knowingly, wanted to say a few more words, but finally retreated and walked towards the outer courtyard.
…
"Drink! Drink!"
The sounds of sword practice gradually entered Zhong Yun's ears.
Normally, Zhong Yun would turn a blind eye to this son's wanton practice of sword practice.
However, today is different.
She is feeling a little irritable at the moment.
"Si, I met Mrs. Zhong..."
"Um… "
Seeing Ah Si's ugly face with a hippie smile, carrying a small cloth bag, passing in front of Zhong Yun, she didn't even look good.
Immediately, she couldn't hold back anymore, she took a few steps forward and spoke.
"Feng'er, stop practicing swords, come here!"
"Mother, what's the matter?" Ye Chengfeng's eyes lit up, he quickly put away the golden dagger, and quickly walked in front of Zhong Yun.
Ye Chengfeng didn't have a good tone towards his servants, but he was obedient to his mother.
"You can practice swords at any time. Your cousin may come over in the next two days. You should tidy up the house while you are free."
"It's okay to clean up the house, but what cousin? Which cousin?"
Ye Chengfeng was puzzled for a moment, a little unclear.
"His name is Ye Zifeng. When you were young, you played with him, and Yue'er. Why, you've forgotten all about it?"
"Ye Zifeng..."
After a while, he slapped his head violently as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, Ye Zifeng! Mother, I remembered, I heard that he became a waste later, and his realm has been stagnant, right?"
Zhong Yun's complexion changed slightly, and she cursed immediately: "Shut up! What a waste, don't let me slip your words. I really saw him and blurted out accidentally. See if I don't discount your dog legs."
"I… "
Ye Chengfeng looked aggrieved, and he didn't know why his mother suddenly attacked him.
"Okay, I was the one who said it more seriously."
Zhong Yun breathed a sigh of relief, paused for a moment, and then continued.
"However, you still have to listen carefully to me. Ye Zifeng has now got rid of the reputation of being a waste, and he has made some achievements in alchemy. If you let him win the master's favor and let him live in the mansion for a long time, Ye Mansion will suddenly become more and more prosperous." Don't you feel bad about losing a family member..."
"this… "
Ye Chengfeng frowned, and walked a few steps in thought.
He nodded: "It seems... a little less free."
Zhong Yun nodded solemnly: "Not only that, but I feel that the master has always wanted to take care of that Ye family branch, and maybe he will let that Ye Zifeng do something in the mansion to reduce our time at home. power to achieve a check and balance."
"No way, Daddy is still guarding against us... Am I not his own flesh and blood?" Ye Chengfeng raised his head in astonishment, and looked at his mother in disbelief.
Zhong Yun glared at him angrily: "What do you know? You're not the only one who is your own flesh and blood, your father made a show on purpose to show us! Forget it, you don't understand these truths, Let me ask you, in the past two days, you have been asked to practice swords at the gate, but has anyone who looks like a child of an aristocratic family entered the gate?"
"Well… "
Ye Chengfeng pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "I have seen a lot of children from the aristocratic family, but they have never come in. As for the letter that my mother told me, I have also asked about it, and there is nothing unusual..."
"Is that so Ye Zifeng hasn't arrived at Starfall City yet, or has he already gone to the Fengni Academy to stay..."
Zhong Yun was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and looked outside the gate, feeling a little puzzled.
"Could it be... there is another possibility."
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she turned her head to look at the place where Ah Si was standing just now, her face changed slightly.
"By the way, what is he going to do, Si? Didn't I ask him to serve you with the sword all the time?"
"Oh, he said that someone outside wanted to come in and ask for a job, so he gave a letter to Dad..."
Zhong Yun's expression changed immediately.
"Ask for a job? Recently, our Ye family has never recruited anyone..."
The next moment, she almost exclaimed.
"not good!"
…
Coming out of the shortcut through the small gate, Ah Si's face was filled with joy.
Not long after, he left the gate of the Ye family, looked over from a distance, and found Ye Zifeng's figure in a corner.
"Brother, brother! Good news!"
Ye Zifeng's eyes lit up, he stood up, put away the dissipated soul talent, looked up at Ah Si, and said with a slight smile.
"How to say?"
"The master looked very happy when he saw your letter, and rewarded me with thirty gold coins! Moreover, I really don't know how you boasted about your ability in this letter, the master actually asked me to take you in right away. Ye Fu, you still look very excited, are you recommended by the Patriarch's acquaintances!"
"Is this true?"
Ah Si laughed loudly, and continued talking again.
"Of course it's true. Luckily for you, you have a chance to climb into the Ye family!"
Ye Zifeng smiled slightly and nodded.
He understood one thing, no matter what the others are, at least the head of the Ye family is for him, and that is enough
enough.
Because, it is impossible for one person to please everyone, and driven by some interests, there will be more enemies invisibly.
At this time, you can deal with it calmly and use what you can. You don't have to complain about the injustice of the world.
next moment.
Ah Si led the way, Ye Zifeng followed behind.
"Brother, you are new here, and you have some rules. I will explain to you slowly in the future. You learn more from me, and you can do things neatly. I won't let others bully you."
Ah Si talked and laughed, holding the bag in his hand, and gently put it in his arms.
However, he had just stepped through the gate.
"Plop! Plop!"
But he saw two rows by the door, a row of maids and a row of servants, all kneeling on the ground respectfully, facing the direction of Ah Si and the other two.
In such a scene, even Ye Zifeng did not expect that a strange color flashed in his star pupils.
"this… "
Ah Si's smile froze on the spot in an instant, astonished to the extreme.
"Could it be..."
He licked his lips, turned his head hastily, and wanted to follow their example and kneel down.
He thought there was someone behind him.
However, the truth is, there is no one there!
"God, what are you doing?"
Ah Si was stunned, and a bad premonition popped up in his heart in an instant.
"Following the order of the Patriarch, come to meet Young Master Zifeng!"
As soon as these words came out, Ah Si froze on the spot as if he had been frozen, motionless.
"What? Master Zifeng?"
His lips were constantly shaking, he took a few breaths, and looked at Ye Zifeng in disbelief: "The person they are talking about..."
"That's right, it's me, Ye Zifeng!"
The smile on Ye Zifeng's face was extremely indifferent.
Through the exploration of soul talent, coupled with a certain amount of on-the-spot response, he knew that although such an achievement was achieved, it was hard-won, and it was not purely due to luck.
"Master Zifeng."
A man who looked like a housekeeper from the Ye family came forward with a smile.
Seeing that Ah Si was still standing beside Ye Zifeng motionless, he gave him an annoyed wink: "Okay, Ah Si, what are you doing here, go away quickly, don't block Master Zifeng way!"
"I... yes, yes..." Ah Si shuddered, looked at the butler, then at Ye Zifeng, and quickly retreated.
Ah Si was afraid for a while, you know, just now he hooked his shoulders to Ye Zifeng, he even pushed him a few times.
If he had known Ye Zifeng's identity earlier, he wouldn't have done it if he had the guts.
So, the butler turned his gaze away from Ah Si, and smiled again on his originally serious expression.
"Master Zifeng, the master has told us that we will take care of your daily living, board and lodging during the many days you are in this house. You don't have to worry about the young master. You can choose any three of the maids and servants here who you like. It's pleasing to the eye, just take it away..."
"Is this..."
Ye Zifeng glanced back and forth at everyone, observing their reactions.
A group of people waited, all lowered their heads, not wanting to see him.
To be honest, in their view, even if they are slaves, it depends on who they are.
Therefore, they didn't want to be slaves to Ye Zifeng, the branch of the Ye family.
"Three is too much, I don't need it, and I'm not used to it."
Ye Zifeng smiled lightly, and pointed at Ah Si who had just stepped back.
"Or... I want it, Ah Si alone!"
