[Comprehensive] The daily life of Ye Ying's maid

In the summer of the seventh year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, Hangzhou Zangjian Villa was busy from top to bottom.

Soon after, Tibetan Sword will hold the second famous sword meeting. The success of the first famous sword meeting means that there will be more guests coming to the second famous sword meeting, so the preparation work is more cumbersome than ten years ago complex.

In addition, not long ago, it was reported that the jade girl among the famous golden boys and jade girls of Mingjiao was established as a saint, and Mingjiao missed the imperial sword because of his ignorance in the last famous sword conference. If Mingjiao has not been issued a famous sword post, it is difficult to guarantee that Mingjiao will not come to make trouble.

So vigilance is even more important.

Therefore, there was almost no idler in Tibetan Sword, except Ye Ying who insisted on living in Jianzhong after returning from Miao Jiang, ignoring world affairs and continuing to study swordsmanship.

The difference from before Ye Ying left home is that Ye Mengqiu would go to Jianzhong to see his son every few days. Everyone thought that the owner suddenly changed his temper and began to pay attention to Ye Ying. The matter of clothing has not been completely relieved.

On this day, he habitually came to Jianzhong Burrow. Whoever wanted to enter the door found that Ye Ying was nowhere to be seen.

His face suddenly sank, he turned his head and asked the sword guard guarding the door sharply, "Where did the young master go?"

Although in Wudu, Ye Qing had already started calling Ye Ying the owner of the young villa, but that was just to give Ye Ying face in front of Wudu. In the real Tibetan Sword Villa, Ye Mengqiu hadn't recognized Ye Ying's status yet. Therefore, everyone is still called the young master.

"This... the owner, please forgive me, the disciple really doesn't know, but the owner, please rest assured, the young master will be back soon," the guard secretly groaned in his heart. It will disappear for a while, but it will reappear soon. With his skill, he can't be caught at all, okay?

"So it happened more than once?"

Ye Mengqiu narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, could that girl have gone to Hangzhou?Yinger went out to see her?But there was no news about that girl from the disciples in Hangzhou.

The guard nodded: "The disciple tried to talk to the young master, but..." Before he finished speaking, Ye Mengqiu understood what he meant, and he lowered his eyes to think for a while and asked, "According to your estimation, the young master Where can I go?"

"This... I'm guessing that I won't come. However, I once smelled charcoal fire on the young master's body when the young master came here. I suspect that the young master may have just gone to the sword house..."

Ye Mengqiu interrupted the guard and said, "Understood, continue to guard the young master well, and don't let anyone disturb you."

"Yes, disciple understands." The guard responded quickly, and after watching Ye Mengqiu go towards the sword cottage, he breathed a sigh of relief.

And at this time, the guard with the hidden sword who was on duty with him dared to speak at this time: "I don't know what the owner of the villa thinks. Since the young master came back, he has been looking at him like a prisoner and wants us Pay attention to his correspondence with the outside world."

"Shh...don't talk nonsense." The sword guard who had dealt with Ye Mengqiu before quickly stopped him, looked around to see if there was no one else, and then said, "Don't you know? The one who ran away with the young master What's the name of Xue, didn't she come back with her, everyone said that she was kicked out by the owner because she seduced the young master, and then, do you understand?"

The hidden sword guard suddenly realized what was going on, and couldn't help sighing: "It is said that the young master has reached his age, but I really didn't expect the young master to be so cold, and he could have such a romantic affair."

"Who said no?"

At that time, Ye Mengqiu was going all the way to the Sword Cottage, but he was thinking over and over in his mind why Ye Ying would come to this Sword Cottage every few days. According to common sense, the Burrow has Ye Ying's exclusive sword-making room. Yes, and the swordsmiths are usually used to using the sword-casting platform, the sword-washing pool and the casting tools, so why did Ye Ying come to the sword house?

Thinking of Ye Boqiu, the manager of Jianlu who always favored Ye Ying, Ye Mengqiu couldn't help but have some conspiracy theories, maybe...

He casually pulled over a Jianlu disciple who was in a hurry and was about to go to work, Ye Mengqiu frowned and asked, "Where is the young master?"

"Young master?" The Jianhu disciple was stunned, and said stupidly, "Back to the owner, I have never seen the appearance of the young master, I don't know..." Ye Ying usually lives in secluded places, so it is not strange that this disciple has never seen him .

Ye Mengqiu: "...Forget it, go to work."

Ye Mengqiu, who realized that he should not ask someone to ask, let go of this Jianhu disciple, and started to patrol in the Jianhu. Ye Boqiu's confidants saw Ye Mengqiu and hurried to inform Ye Boqiu, who was busy Upon hearing this, Ye Boqiu immediately said to the disciple who informed him, "Has the eldest young master come out?"

The disciple immediately shook his head: "It seems not yet, the disciple has not seen it."

Ye Boqiu frowned: "What's the matter today? It's not too long for him to go in." But now it's not the time to pursue it, he ordered: "Immediately inform the young master and tell him to leave as soon as possible."

The disciple who notified hurriedly responded, and went straight to the only foundry in Jianlu, which was rarely visited by people. It was the place where Ye Mengqiu cast the divine sword "Yu Shen" that once shined brilliantly in the first famous sword competition. , has now become one of the forbidden areas of Hidden Sword Villa.

However, he still couldn't make it in time, he could only watch Ye Mengqiu take a step ahead of him and step into the sword casting room.

After not seeing Ye Mengqiu come out for a while, the disciple realized one thing, Ye Ying was still in the sword casting room, so he hurriedly went back to find Ye Boqiu to find a solution.

In the sword casting room, after Ye Mengqiu opened the door and entered, he looked around, but found no one other than Ye Ying who was standing next to the sword casting room.

But Ye Ying didn't even turn around to react to his arrival, this incident alone had lifted his mind completely.

"Ying'er, why did you come here? Have you forgotten that my father said that no one is allowed to come here without authorization?"

Ye Mengqiu's voice was full of displeasure and reprimand, as if trying to get Ye Ying to leave here as soon as possible.

But Ye Ying heard the words, but she still didn't turn around. After a while, she turned around slowly. Ye Mengqiu couldn't see his expression clearly because of his face hidden in the shadows. He only heard him ask gently: "Father, can I I would like to know why it is a forbidden place even though it was forged as a "god god" ten years ago to make Hidden Sword Villa famous all over the world? I heard that even you have never been here again."

"The forbidden area is the forbidden area. Why are you asking this? Get out of here quickly."

Ye Mengqiu frowned and said impatiently, this kid, did he remember something?Such a tragic scene, even he is unwilling to remember, if Yinger remembers now...

He suddenly remembered Xue Yi's words "Don't leave" when he was in Shuzhong years ago, and remembered his original purpose of coming here.

"After you came back, didn't you meet that girl again?" Ye Mengqiu asked. Although he had been paying attention to Xue Yi's movements in the city, he clearly remembered that some of them should have changed hands. Tolerant.

And he asked about this, first to confirm Ye Ying's reaction, and more importantly, to divert Ye Ying's attention.

But Ye Ying continued as if she didn't hear his question: "Mother, did she really die of illness? Or..." He would turn around and touch the cold wall of the sword casting room with his hands, " To be buried in this sword-making hut?"

At the end of the sentence, it was still such a flat and gentle voice, but to Ye Mengqiu, it was like a life-threatening voice from Yama Hell.

"What nonsense are you talking about, first answer what my father asked you! Have you and that girl ever met again?" Ye Mengqiu's displeased voice turned severe, and panic that had not been felt in many years swept through his heart. Ye Ying turned her head again, her expression still made Ye Mengqiu unable to see clearly, her voice was still as flat as before: "She should still be in Miaojiang now, thousands of miles away from Hangzhou, how can you tell?"

After getting the answer he wanted, Ye Mengqiu breathed a sigh of relief, his face and tone softened: "It's fine if you don't have one, you can practice sword at ease, and when you are weak, I will choose a match with you." Family."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but what Ye Ying said made Ye Mengqiu feel like thunder.

"Using the sky as a matchmaker to prove their status, we will become husband and wife, and we will never abandon each other in life or death. Father, do you still remember this sentence?"

Memories began to flash in front of Ye Mengqiu scene by scene.

"...Aqiu, even if you have nothing now, even if your father disagrees, I will marry you for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?" I still remember that beautiful woman holding her hand tightly, Looking at him expectantly.

"I, Ye Mengqiu." He looked at her fixedly, his eyes full of emotion.

"I, Huang Ruoling." She looked at her tenderly, her eyes full of love.

"Here we are, using the sky as a matchmaking certificate, we will become husband and wife, and we will never abandon each other in life or death!"

The two made a lifelong vow to the big tree where they met in unison, and became husband and wife...

A few years passed in a blink of an eye...

"...Aqiu, do you want to take a concubine?" She looked at him tremblingly, holding their newborn child in her arms. At that time, he gave up the imperial examination and chose martial arts. Wulin is quite famous, and when he was full of ambitions, he was embraced by a beautiful woman.

"Ling'er, Chudie is Maoxun's younger sister. You know that Maoxun and I are brothers, and I am with Chudie...I don't want to disappoint Chudie, and I don't want to ruin my relationship with Maoxun, so, Chudie ...It's a flat wife, not a concubine, I'm sorry, Ling'er, I swear, except this time, I will never let you and Ying'er down again..."

He was full of guilt towards her, but secretly delighted in his own charm, but she silently accepted his explanation, watched him break his promise time and time again, and married one woman after another that he "had to marry". Abandoned his and those women's children.

"Aqiu, Wu Li is your eldest son!" She yelled at him sharply, she gradually became strangers to him, Ye Ying gradually became disliked by him, and as a mother, she finally began to get angry because of his favoritism again and again stand up.

"Don't call me Aqiu, can't you have some demeanor of being a housewife? Also, his name is Ye Ying, don't leave if you don't call him anything, he is my eldest son, so I have to give way to my younger brothers. It's the family tradition that our Ye family should have!" He lost the patience to deal with her and yelled at her loudly.

She paled again and fell silent.

"Brother Qiu, have you heard of the legend of General Mo Xie?"

After many years of failing to forge swords, the initial joy of accidentally getting the ancient Yue sword from the bottom of the West Lake has long been occupied by exhaustion and frustration. This topic was brought up with such vigor.

It's just that neither Liu Fenggu nor he expected that this topic that should have been gossip turned into the beginning of nightmares and regrets.
