Unparalleled Concubine

The ancestral grave was not very far from Yejiazhuang. Not long after, Li Xin saw Ye Mao's reed. The new Chen Guogong was sitting in the reed, holding a volume of military books, studying hard.

Li Xin walked over, sat across from Ye Mao, and said with a smile: "The young master back then also knew that he was serious about studying. Master Ye has a spirit in the sky, and he will probably be gratified by it."

Ye Mao put down the book of war, and let out a breath slowly.

"It's just to relieve loneliness."

Ye Mao was a little bully when he was a child. When he was in his teens and 20s, he could never rest for a moment, and he was very detached. Basically, no one could control him except Ye Cheng. If he wanted him to sit down and read a book in peace, it was even more difficult. Even though he is over 30 years old now, it is still a bit embarrassing for him to sit here for three years.

"You don't have to get used to it, and you don't have to force yourself to live here."

Li Xin sat down and stretched.

"Sitting here, Brother Ye may not be able to live better in the sky. You should be filial, but you don't have to stick to the rules."

Ye Mao sighed slowly.

"As my uncle said, I just want peace of mind. I didn't spend much time with my father when he was alive. Now that I have nothing to do, I'm here to spend more time with his old man and grandfather."

Li Xin put the wine in front of Ye Mao, and said, "It's cold in winter, how about a sip?"

Ye Mao shook his head.

"You can't drink alcohol in mourning."

Li Xin gave him a blank look, then raised his head and took a sip.

When Li Xin first came to Ningling, Ye Mao had a drink with him, which was regarded as a solution to all his worries, but since then, this big black-faced man still strictly abides by the rules of filial piety, and he does not drink or eat. Meat.

When the two were chatting under the reeds, a group of more than a dozen fast horses rushed over from Ningling County. The first person was a thin man in his 40s. where he stayed with his horse, and then walked towards the Ye family's ancestral grave on foot.

Ye Mao stretched out his head and took a look outside the Lu Peng, then got up and walked out immediately, and greeted the middle-aged man.

Li Xin had his back to the door, and when he saw this, he turned his head and got up from the futon to greet him.

Ye Mao bowed his head respectfully to the middle-aged man.

"Fourth uncle."

Li Xin also cupped his hands and said, "Brother."

The person who came was naturally Ye Lin, the general of Hanzhong, because he was in charge of the army in Hanzhong and couldn't get away from him. Therefore, even after receiving the news of the death of his elder brother, he did not come back from Hanzhong. It has been almost two months since Ye Ming passed away. , the fourth child of the Ye family finally rushed back from Ningling.

He saluted Li Xin, then looked up at the grave behind them, his eyes were a little red.

"Brother was seriously ill, I didn't come back to see him, and I didn't come back to see him for the last time until he left."

Ye Lao had tears in his four eyes.

"I'm sorry, brother."

He staggered and walked slowly towards Ye Ming's grave.

Both Li Xin and Ye Mao got out of the way and did not block his way. They both looked at Ye Lin's stumbling back, and felt a little touched in their hearts.

Ye Mao was silent for a while, then asked: "Master, Fourth Uncle should lead troops in Hanzhong right now..."

"You ask me, how do I know?"

Li Xin looked at Ye Lin's back and sighed slowly.

"It's probably the son of heaven, and I don't feel at ease with Senior Brother Ye."

Chapter 968 The students you taught!

Ye Lin is the youngest son of Ye Cheng. He was born after Ye Cheng returned to Beijing from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After he was born, the Ye family was already the "No. [-] general in the world". He is a bit of a jerk. When he was young, not to mention sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows, he often went around the capital looking for duels with a sword, because he was messing with flowers and grass everywhere, and he even got into fights with many yamen.

Firstly, his skills are good, and secondly, he has a strong old man who has lived for more than 20 years and never suffered a loss. When he was almost 30 years old, he changed his ways and found a job in the imperial court. General Lang.

In his whole life, he lived a more unrestrained and happier life than his father Ye Cheng and his elder brother Ye Ming.But this Fourth Young Master Ye is not completely an asshole, he knows in his heart that he can be so chic in the capital, firstly because his father worked hard in the early years, and secondly because his eldest brother put down his brush and went to the north to join the army up.

Therefore, Fourth Young Master Ye never obeyed anyone in his life. He was the first to obey his father, and the second was to obey his elder brother. He was by his side when his father left, but when his elder brother Ye Ming left, he could not move in Hanzhong. After receiving the news, my heart was as hard as ants gnawed.

Finally arrived at Ningling, the former Fourth Young Master Ye knelt in front of his elder brother's tombstone, almost weeping uncontrollably.

After I don't know how long, after his emotions calmed down a little bit, Li Xin walked up slowly, handed over a white scarf, Ye Lin took the white scarf, wiped the tears on his face, and looked back at Li Xin One glance, and then sighed: "I made Chang An laugh."

Li Xin shook his head.

"The elder brother passed away, and the little brother was also very sad. The elder brother and the elder brother are brothers, so naturally it is even more painful."

Ye Lin turned his head, glanced at his brother's tombstone, sighed a long time, and was about to stand up from the ground.

However, after kneeling for so long, his knees were already numb. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Li Xin's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he immediately reached out to support him. Ye Mao also stepped forward to give him a hand. Peng Li sat down.

After sitting down, Ye Lin felt much more comfortable. He glanced at Li Xin first, and asked, "Why is Chang'an still in Ningling? I heard that you left after arriving in Ningling a few days ago."

"Here to avoid disaster."

Li Xin shook his head helplessly: "I don't know how many Plum Blossom Guards outside Ningling City are looking for me at this time, it's safer to stay in Yejiazhuang. him for a few days."

As he said that, Li Xin looked at Ye Lin and asked, "Brother, shouldn't you be leading troops in Hanzhong? Why did you come back to Ningling?"

Ye Lin frowned first, then sighed.

"After receiving the news that my elder brother was seriously ill a few months ago, I wrote to the imperial court to take a leave of absence for a few months to go back to Beijing to see my elder brother, but the imperial court never allowed it. In desperation, I had no choice but to stay in Hanzhong all the time. No."

"Until my elder brother died of illness, the court still forbade me to leave Hanzhong, and I had no choice but to stay in Hanzhong."

Speaking of this, Ye Lin gritted his teeth: "I can't even come back to pay homage to the funeral of my siblings. It's really hard in my heart."

"A few days ago, the imperial court suddenly came with a document, saying that I was allowed to return to my hometown to worship my brother. I left Hanzhong without saying a word, and brought some people to Ningling."

After stopping Ye Lin's words, Li Xin frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "After senior brother leaves, who will be in charge of the Hanzhong army?"

"Of course it's the uncle of the country."

Obviously, although he has worked with Xie Jing for several years, Ye Lin still dislikes him a little. He sneered and said, "This uncle of the country has served me as a deputy general for several years. I am not in Hanzhong, so the Hanzhong army will return naturally." He takes care of it."

"But I'm too lazy to take care of these things."

Ye Lin let out a breath slowly.

"No matter what, I have to go back to my hometown to pay homage to my brother."

As he said that, he looked left and right at the canopy Ye Mao built, then looked up at Ye Mao who was standing with his hands down, and said, "It's a good place, let me stay here for a few days, and spend more time with my father and brother."

Ye Mao didn't dare to refute his uncle, so he nodded helplessly.
