Unparalleled Concubine

This Zhuangzi was originally not called Yejiazhuang, but after Ye Guogong became famous in the first battle, the Ye family in his hometown also benefited naturally. Although Ye Cheng did not even help the Ye family in Ningling, the Ye family in Ningling still grew rapidly. Down, the Ye family in Ningling already has five or six hundred people, and this Zhuangzi has naturally become the Ye family village.

The owner of the Ye family in Ningling knew that Ye Mao was coming back, and brought a group of family members to greet him at the entrance of the village. After seeing Ye Mao, an old man of the same generation as Ye Cheng bent over to salute Ye Mao.

"I have seen the Duke."

Ye Mao handed the reins to the servants beside him, bent over and bowed to these old people.

"All uncles and brothers are from our own family. You don't need to be called father-in-law. Ye Mao is also a member of the family when you enter the Ye Family Manor."

As he spoke, he bowed to the elders who were saluting, "Ye Mao has met the elders."

"It's been a while since my father died of illness. The younger generation is in a hurry to bury the old father. After the work is over, I will talk to my uncles and brothers about the old days."

He is the new Duke Chen, and he is accompanied by the family generals. Naturally, the people in Yejiazhuang did not dare to mess around. Someone immediately led the way and took him to the ancestral grave that Ye Ming built in his hometown.

After Ye Cheng left, Ye Ming lived in Yejiazhuang for more than two years, and everyone in Yejiazhuang knew him. At this time, Ye Ming also passed away, and the juniors of Yejiazhuang also wore sackcloth and mourning. He also took over the work of the Ye family's trilogy. More than a dozen young men from the Ye family village, dressed in white cloth, carried Ye Ming's coffin to the cemetery.

The cemetery is not too far from Yejiazhuang, only two or three miles away, and soon arrived at the ancestral grave of the Ye family, but when approaching the cemetery, a man in white with a white cloth tied around his waist blocked the way, the man in white looked Ye Ming's coffin, heaved a long sigh, then bent over and bowed deeply to the coffin.

Ye Mao, who was walking in the front, naturally saw the man in white. He stepped forward and saluted the man in white as a junior.

"Uncle Master is here."

Li Xin, who sneaked to Ningling from Jincheng, let out a breath slowly.

"It's a pity that I didn't get to see my brother for the last time."

Chapter 960 Uncle and Nephew

Li Xin set out from Jincheng and hurried to Ningling after defying all opinions.

The distance from Jincheng to Ningling is a little closer than to the capital, about 600 miles, and it will take about ten days. He and the Ye family have a deep bond, and they say they are in the same breath Zhi is not exaggerating, it stands to reason that when Ye Ming is sick, he should go to the capital to have a look. Although various restrictions prevent Li Xin from going to the capital, at least he should come to send Ye Ming's body.

After speaking a few words with Ye Mao, he looked up at Ye Mao and sighed slowly.

During this period of time, Ye Mao first rushed back to the capital from Jimen Pass, and within a day after returning to the capital, Ye Ming went there. He was in the capital for the funeral, and after finishing the funeral, he was sent to Ningling non-stop. What happened in more than a month, this nine-foot-tall man has a haggard face and bloodshot eyes.

"You don't need to talk to me, I'm just here to kowtow to senior brother and Master Ye, go and do your work."

Li Xin stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, sighed: "Take a rest after busy work, don't break your body down."

Ye Mao bowed his head silently, turned around and together with the elders of the Ye family in Ningling, directed the burial of the coffin. After a group of two or 300 people made it for more than an hour, Ye Ming's coffin was finally buried in the ancestral grave of the Ye family and placed in the Beside Ye Cheng.

Li Xin also went over to help, and the group buried the heavy tombstone in front of Ye Ming's.

A row of long scarlet letters was written on the stele.

After the tombstone was finished, Ye Mao was not the first to pay respects. Instead, he stepped aside and said to Li Xin, "Uncle Shi is the elder, Uncle Shi comes first."

After hearing Ye Mao's words, the members of the Ye family in Ningling all looked at Li Xin.

Li Xin has already passed his thirties at this time, and he has grown a beard for many years. He looks no longer the young man he used to be, but for more than ten years, he has mostly raised children at home. Although he is strong, his skin is slightly fair. He looks much younger than Ye Mao, but he is called an elder by Ye Mao.

Li Xin did not refuse, he took off the wine bag from his waist, walked forward, first knelt in front of Ye Cheng's tombstone, sprinkled some wine on the ground, kowtowed: "Master, I see you coming."

After he kowtowed, he walked to Ye Ming's tombstone. After he knelt down, he got some wine from the wine bag on the ground, and then he raised his head and took a big sip, threw it aside, and gave Ye Ming a kowtow. size.

"If I had known today, I wouldn't even be able to see my senior brother for the last time. When I left the capital, I should have taken my senior brother to have a good drink."

He kowtowed again and let out a slow breath.

"Brother, it's a good journey, and I will buy you a drink in the next life."

After saying this, Li Xin stood up and took a few steps back.

Ye Mao took Ye Lin's son and his own son, and kowtowed to Ye Cheng and Ye Ming one by one.

Funeral etiquette in this era is very complicated. After Li Xin saluted, he retreated to the carriage on one side and quietly waited for Ye Mao and the others to finish their work. The etiquette was almost done, and a group of talents surrounded Ye Mao and the others and returned to Yejiazhuang.

Ye Mao walked up to Li Xin's carriage in person, took the reins of the horse, and walked towards his house.

The Ye family has a house in the Ye Family Manor, and the house is not small. It was built by Ye Cheng in his hometown before his death. When Ye Ming returned to his hometown to repair the grave of his father Ye Cheng a few years ago, he lived in his own house. I lived in the house for more than two years.

When it was almost dark, Ye Mao and others finally returned to his home. He threw the reins to his nephew and asked his nephew to tie up the horse. There was a table of food and drink, the uncle and nephew had traveled for many days, and they were quite tired at the moment, so they sat down slumped.

After sitting down, the tall and tall Ye Mao raised his wine glass and toasted Li Xin and his generation.

"Master uncle can take the risk to come to Ningling to see off his father. Father will be very happy if he knows."

Li Xin also picked up his wine glass and touched Ye Mao.

After raising his head and gulping it down, he put down his glass and laughed at himself.

"I'm afraid an underground person like Senior Brother Ye won't know about what happened behind him. These things are nothing more than to give us people on the ground some peace of mind."

Ye Mao let out a long breath, raised his head and took a sip of wine, remaining silent.

When Li Xin first met Ye Mao, he was still a general's boy who hung out in Wei Wang's mansion. He was stupid and ignorant of world affairs. When he was unhappy, he would raise his fist to fight with others.

Later, Li Xin led him to go west together. At that time, Ye Mao made great efforts to attack the city several times, but he was the one who rushed to the front and became a fierce general praised by everyone in the army.

But even when he was fighting on the battlefield, Ye Mao was still a young man, until the death of Ye Cheng and Ye Ming.

The death of his grandfather made Ye Mao, who was still a young man, grow up in an instant, and the death of his father made Ye Mao even look a little old.

Because from this moment on, the huge Chen Guogong Mansion or Ye Family will be on his shoulders alone. This is a responsibility that cannot be escaped. Whether it is Li Xin or Ye Ming, they can only help He, can't replace him.

After taking a few sips of wine in a muffled voice, Ye Mao lowered his head, lifted the jug and gave Li Xin a glass of wine, his voice hoarse.

"Master uncle, how have you been these two years?"

He separated from Li Xin in the eighth year of Taikang, and since then he has been leading the army in Zhenbei Army, and he has not seen Li Xin for five or six years.

Li Xin raised his wine glass and gave Ye Mao a glass in return.

He shook his head: "I'm fine, just looking at you, not to mention the white hair on your head, even the expression on your face looks a little old."

Ye Mao raised his glass to clink a glass with Li Xin. The glass was deliberately shorter than Li Xin's. After drinking this glass of wine, he smiled wryly: "I'm already 35 years old, so naturally I'm not as young as my uncle."

Li Xin stood up, picked up the jug and filled it up for him, then reached out and patted the new Chen Guogong on the shoulder, and sighed slowly: "The sky hasn't fallen yet, so there's no need to do that."

"Everyone dies, even a god of war like Master Ye will die, and Senior Brother Ye will naturally, so be careful."

Having said that, Li Xin sat down again, and laughed at himself.

"Speaking of which, Master Ye and Senior Brother Ye are both at the end of their lives. For generals like us, this is already the best end. Whether it is me or you, their lives may not be as good as theirs."

Hearing these words, Ye Mao slightly raised his head and glanced at Li Xin.
