The official road of the farmer
Chapter 154
Today is the last day of business for the store, and it was rare for Brother Lu to be late for a while. He sealed up all the things in the store before closing the door and preparing to leave.
Holding the lantern in one hand and the store's account book in the other, Brother Lu stood a few steps away from the door, waited for Nan Rong to lock the door, walked to Brother Lu, took the lantern, and then walked away.
Holding the account book, Brother Lu casually chatted with Nan Rong. He said worriedly: "I don't know what's going on with Big Brother. He won't get hurt, right?"
The eldest brother left for more than a month, and there was no news at all.In particular, he went to Jinjiang, where the civil uprising occurred, which is really worrying.
Brother Lu didn't pay attention to this before, and he didn't know that there was such a thing. Since he didn't know it at the time, it shouldn't be a long time, and it wasn't very serious.
The brothers counted the days until the eldest brother came back.
Brother Lu once again realized what it means to live a tormented life, and without his eldest brother by his side, he feels that his family is in a bad state.
Nan Rong said: "Eldest Young Master Ji Ren has his own aura, so he will be safe."
"Ah."
Lu Ge'er was still a little depressed, even though the business of the shop was very good this year and made a lot of money, it still couldn't make him happy.
After walking a few steps, a handsome young man in a gorgeous brocade suit and fur robe walked towards him.
The other party saw Brother Lu and walked over quickly.
"Brother Lu!"
Brother Lu stopped in his tracks and looked up at the person who came, quite surprised, "Xiao Shizi, why are you here?"
Xiao Shizi walked beside Lu Geer, and smiled, "I'll take you home!"
Brother Lu pursed his lips and smiled, but still said, "Little Shizi, you don't have to do this."
Xiao Shizi patted his thin chest, held his head high and said, "Brother Zizhou is not here, I am here to protect you."
He thinks that he is already a good friend and brother of Brother Zizhou, and Brother Zizhou is still Brother Yu's sweetheart, and sooner or later they will be a family. Now that Brother Zizhou is not in the capital, there are a bunch of young children in the family, and the little prince is naturally obliged Take care of them!
Seeing Xiao Shizi's appearance, Brother Lu couldn't help being amused, and wanted to say something, but from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Nan Amo who was following them unhurriedly, three steps away, and held back again.
He said reservedly: "That will trouble the little prince."
"No trouble, no trouble." Xiao Shizi waved his hand.
The two walked in front, followed by Nan Rong and Xiao Shizi's personal servants.
Xiao Shizi still likes Lu Geer, an ugly guy. Although his appearance doesn't suit his liking, how understanding and clever he is!
He just likes to get along with the ugly brother, so he can't help but come here again and again.
Xiao Shizi said: "Brother Lu, I am your brother's good brother and friend, shouldn't you call me brother?" !
He is the youngest at home, and he has never been called brother!
Of course, he doesn't care if others call him brother, but it's rare for Lu Geer to call him, hehe!
Lu Ge'er was silent for a while, and said hesitantly: "Brother Xiaobao?"
Xiaoshizi: "..."
Xiao Shizi said awkwardly: "Let's call me Brother Yun." The name Xiaobao is really too childish, but it's a pity that it won't work out in the hands of the elders, otherwise he would have changed his name a long time ago.
Brother Lu knew how much Xiao Shizi disliked his name, he couldn't help but secretly smiled, and then called out: "Brother Yun."
"Hey!" Xiao Shizi responded happily.
The two looked at each other and smirked, and suddenly there was a chill on their faces, Geer Lu subconsciously raised his hand, and white snowflakes fell sparsely in front of his eyes.
Brother Lu looked up, and saw snowflakes as small as goose feathers, falling from the sky like catkins.
"Ah! It's snowing!" Lu Geer exclaimed.
This year, the snow fell very late in Shangjing. I heard that other places had already had heavy snowfall, but apart from two downpours in Shangjing, the sky was gloomy for a few days, and there was no snow.
Brother Lu thought that it might not snow in Beijing this year, but he didn't expect that it would still snow a few years ago.
Xiao Shizi also raised his head, seeming to sigh: "Yes, it's snowing."
The two stood facing each other in the snow, looking up at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and the surrounding white snow fluttered gently.
If you ignore Lu Geer's face full of marks and look at it from a distance, it is a very beautiful picture.
Nan Ah, who was standing not far away, couldn't help coughing heavily, extremely puzzled.
Only then did Brother Lu and Xiao Shizi come back to their senses.
Brother Lu couldn't help but blushed a little, Xiao Shizi giggled, "I just realized that it's very beautiful when it snows."
"Ah."
Nan Ahmo reminded: "My lord, it's time to go home."
Brother Lu responded again, and then stepped forward to continue walking.
Because the snow was not falling heavily, the group of people walked in no hurry.
Lu Geer and Xiao Shizi chatted and laughed all the way, and soon they saw Ye Mansion, Lu Geer said goodbye to Xiao Shizi at the door with a smile on his face.
It was already dark, and the elder brother was away, so it was inconvenient to invite outsiders in.
Xiao Shizi was a little bit reluctant, why did he feel that the road was so close, he got there without saying a few words, and he still wanted to talk to Brother Lu!
Brother Lu saw that the snow would not stop for a while, thought for a while, and asked Xiao Shizi to wait for a while, then ran into the mansion by himself, and came out with an oiled paper umbrella after a while.
Brother Lu calmed down his shortness of breath due to running so fast, walked up to Xiao Shizi, and handed the oil-paper umbrella into Xiao Shizi's hand, "Brother Yun, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, you can go back with the umbrella."
The snow fell on the body, and after melting, it was cold and clammy, and it was easy to get sick.
"Okay." Xiao Shizi happily accepted Lu Ge'er's concern.
"Then I'm going back."
"Well, I'll come to play with you some other day when I'm free!"
Lu Ge'er could feel Nan's eyes on him, and knew that he didn't approve of him getting too close to Xiao Shizi, but he still responded in a low voice: "Okay."
Xiao Shizi watched Lu Geer go in, admired the oil umbrella in his hand with a smile on his face, opened it after a while, propped it on top of his head, and left with the servant.
Brother Lu walked across the yard, stood under the corridor, took off his little cloak, and shook off the snowflakes on it.
After Nan Amo blew out the lantern, she hung it aside casually, then took the small cloak from Brother Lu before speaking—
"My lord, there is a difference between a father and a brother. You shouldn't get so close to an outsider."
"Ah, don't worry, I know it well. And..." Brother Lu rubbed his face, laughing at himself, "I look so ugly, no one will think that I can be friends with Xiao Shizi , I'm very happy."
No one knows Xiao Shizi better than him. The best thing about Xiao Shizi is beauty. How could he have any thoughts about his ugly face?He took care of himself like this because of his brother.
"Young master is excellent." Nan Ahmo praised, and then reminded him sternly, "Even if you are friends, you should keep your distance."
"Don't worry, Ah Mo!" Lu Geer took Nan Ah Mo's hand and said coquettishly, "Every time we meet, Ah Mo is there, we won't be alone."
Ah Nan thought about it, and it was true.
It's just that he has lived for so many years, how can he not see that the young master has a good impression of that little prince?He just felt that the family backgrounds of the two families were so different.
What's more, he knows the criteria for selecting sons and husbands of aristocratic families. The son has no father and no mother. This alone displeases most wives.
In their view, this is a kind of ominous and bad luck.
Moreover, without elders in the family, there would be no good education environment. In any aristocratic family, which one not only wants to socialize, but also manages the inner house, and also deals with wives of various statuses, which is full of knowledge.
The child's marriage must be decided by the close elders, so that they will be favored by the in-laws, and will not make people look down on this person in their hearts.
Nan Ah has always been worried about this, but she didn't say it out, she just pushed a few words to the young master.
Given the situation of their family, no matter how high the young master's official position is, it is difficult for the young masters below to discuss a better marriage, if the young master does not conclude the contract all the time.
The situation will be better if the family background of the in-laws is weaker than them, but it will be difficult if the family background is equal or better.
The little masters in my family are all so smart, cute and cute, Nan Ahma naturally hopes that they can make a good partner.
Since ancient times, the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest brother is like a mother.
Only when the young master has a husband, can the young masters talk about marriage.
My little master is naturally very good, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is picky in every possible way.
If the eldest and young master form a contract, and the son will be raised by his wife's side for a few years, it will be easy to talk about kissing in the future.Maybe when the eldest and young master's official status becomes bigger, he and Xiao Shizi will have some hope.
Nan Ahmo decided that when the eldest young master came back, he would remind him a few more times that it was time to settle the major issues in life!
Brother Lu naturally didn't know about Nan Ah's worries. When he walked outside the house, he heard Brother Qin's laughter. !
You know, since the eldest brother left, the younger brothers haven't laughed so happily.
Brother Lu walked in quickly, looked around happily, and was a little disappointed when he didn't see the eldest brother, but he was still very happy, "Second brother, Chenghe, you are back!"
On the shoulders of Ye Junshan and Nan Chenghe, each is riding a child, they are twins.
Ye Junshan was steadily driving Brother Jing, and Nan Chenghe was driving Ye Junwei. The four of them were playing a bullfight, and Brother Qin was standing beside him clapping his hands and laughing happily.
When Ye Junshan saw Brother Lu coming back, he stopped his movements and smiled naively, "Yes, the military camp is on holiday, let's come back and prepare for the New Year."
In fact, they didn't go on vacation so soon, but the eldest brother was not here. As the second child in the family, he was naturally worried about his younger brothers, so he asked for a few days off.
They are just recruits, and they only have training and training on a daily basis, and they don't have to go on missions. It doesn't affect them, so they are given leave.
They now have a 20-day holiday, from today until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
By then the elder brother will be back almost as well.Only then can they devote themselves to training with peace of mind.
"Go ahead and play, I'll go to the kitchen to cook something delicious."
Lu Geer didn't stop for a moment, turned around and wanted to go to the kitchen.
Ye Junshan quickly stopped him, "Ms. Ye Chen is almost ready. You just came back, and the cold wind has been blowing outside for so long. Sit down and warm up first."
There are many children in the family and their resistance is weak. They have already burned the stove, and the whole house is warm at this time.
Brother Lu thought for a while, but he didn't refuse to answer. He took advantage of the situation and sat aside, watching his brothers play with a smile.
After a while, Nan Ah came in with a bowl of ginger soup, and asked Brother Lu to drink it to dispel the cold.Then he went out with a smile on his face.
Brother Lu hasn't seen his second brother for several days.Every time we meet, I feel a big change.
Ye Junshan is growing his body, and with the intensity of his daily training, his height is basically visible to the naked eye. It is estimated that after another year of growth, he will be on the same level as Ye Junshu.
His skeleton is like my father's, which is relatively broad, so he doesn't look thin, but he is much darker.
The brothers are getting better, and Brother Lu is very happy from the bottom of his heart.
Afterwards, their family was always in joy. Within two days after Ye Junshan and the others came back, the elder brother's letter arrived!
A thick letter, each of the brothers in the family has a share.
They each took their own share in their hands, read and read word by word, and then looked at each other.
Ye Junwei and Brother Jing have been enlightened and can understand letters, and they are clamoring to reply to Ye Jun's letter.
Ye Jun has already said in his letter that he will come back after the new year, and let them be obedient, obedient and not mischievous.
Brother Jing counted the days with his fingers, and then squinted his mouth, there is still a long, long time!
Brother Jing sniffed and was very strong and didn't cry.
Since Ye Junshu left, the children have grown up a lot, become more sensible, don't cry often, are very well-behaved, and don't cause trouble lawlessly.
If Ye Junshu found out, he would be very pleased.
Brother Jing couldn't hold back his tears, and Brother Qin couldn't help it anymore, he said silently: "I miss you so much!" His voice was still crying.
Ye Junwei walked up to Brother Qin with his short legs, and the chubby hand patted Brother Qin, and comforted him solemnly with his fleshy face: "Fourth Brother, don't be sad, Big Brother will be back soon."
"That's right." Brother Lu touched the back of Brother Qin's head, "Brother even brought us a gift! It will arrive in two days, Brother Qin, what is it?"
Brother Qin was distracted, tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and then happily said: "It's delicious!"
Well, this is a little greedy cat.
"It's fun!" Brother Jing was also looking forward to it, "Jigsaw puzzle!"
His jigsaw puzzle was broken some time ago, so brother will buy him a new one!
Ye Junwei held his head high and said disdainfully: "Brother will definitely not buy something as naive as a jigsaw puzzle, it must be a drinking bird! Last time Songsong brought a drinking bird to the school, it was fun!"
Brother Jing suddenly became unhappy, he snorted heavily, "How naive! You can't play as well as me!"
"It's childish!" Ye Jun made a face for Brother Chao Jing.
"You are naive!"
Seeing that the twins were about to quarrel, Brother Lu hurriedly called back to smooth things over, "Okay, big brother just praised you for being sensible! Be friendly brothers and don't quarrel!"
The twins snorted at each other, and turned their heads left and right.
Although Ye Junshu hadn't come back yet, with his letter, the Ye family, which had been depressed for almost two months, finally regained its vitality.
Looking forward to the new year too.
On the day before the New Year's Eve, Yu Maolin and his husband came over in person, intending to bring Ye Junshan's children to their home for the New Year.
But Ye Junshan and the others refused.
They have their own family, so what's the point of going to someone else's house for the New Year, no matter how close the two families are, it doesn't make sense.
When they celebrated the New Year together in Yongzhou, they rented Brother Maolin's house. They lived together, so there is nothing wrong with celebrating the New Year together. Now they all have their own homes.
However, they were taken over by Yu Maolin for a few days in the afternoon of the first day of the new year, and they were not allowed back until the fifth day of the new year.
At this time, the gift Ye Junshu bought also arrived, which naturally made the children excited for a long time.
Ye Junshu was not at home, but there were still some favors to be exchanged, but those who were not very familiar with him were not allowed to receive them.
Fang's mansion must be visited, it is the home of the eldest brother's senior brother.
Ye Junshan took a group of children to Fangfu on behalf of Ye Junshu, and then ate, drank, drank and had fun at home for a few days, and it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the blink of an eye.
The grand occasion of the Lantern Festival is still fresh in their memory, but it’s easy to get confused when there are too many people. Ye Junshan doesn’t dare to take so many younger brothers out to play. .
Brother Maolin went to the banquet and couldn't spare time to bring them.
Just as he was hesitating whether to go out, Xiao Shizi brought a dozen of his men over and invited them to watch the Lantern Festival.
Xiao Shizi came to Ye's house diligently, and they were all familiar with him.
Although Ye Junshan felt that it was inappropriate, he couldn't resist the eager eyes of his younger brothers, and finally agreed to go out to watch the lantern festival with Xiao Shizi.
After the lively lantern festival, the children counted their fingers, and then jumped up and down with excitement, the eldest brother is coming back!
Ye Junshu and the others received an imperial edict on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
The matter here has come to an end. Although some people know that there are other people behind the scenes, with this result, both parties are satisfied, so the case is closed.
Li Yu knew much more about Ye Junshu than Ye Junshu, and their relationship was developing steadily. In this regard, there was nothing to hide. When Ye Junshu returned to Shangjing, he would know the result.
So Li Yu told Ye Junshu the court's judgment.
Liang Zhifu and Cui Liangdao were executed three days after their conviction, that is, they were sentenced years ago. Some of their immediate family members who participated in the crime were also executed, and other collateral members and family members were sentenced to exile.
There are also some less important officials who have been picked out one after another, and a batch of them have been dealt with one after another.
During that time, the bloodbath in the execution ground could not be washed clean.
Affected by this, the officials were extremely honest during this period, as quiet as a quail.
The vicissitudes of the imperial court have nothing to do with Ye Junshu who is far away in the sky... It can't be said that it has nothing to do with it, but it has little influence on him.
When I go back this time, I will probably be credited. Even if I can't be promoted immediately, I will definitely be rated as excellent in the performance appraisal after two years, which is also good for promotion and transfer.
Ye Junshu was in a great mood to pack up their bags, and they had already set off to return to Beijing on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
The government affairs on the Jinjiang side will be temporarily taken over by the officials here. Wan Xingchang has the right to designate this. He let three officials take charge of it together until the imperial court appoints the prefect.
In addition to calling them back, the imperial decree also made a decision to punish the Lu family.
During this turmoil, the Lu family made great achievements and great demerits, and the merits and demerits offset each other. Although the civil disturbance was controlled within a controllable range, this matter was too sensitive and taboo for the superiors.
Therefore, although the Lu family was not beheaded or fined money, they were punished not to be an official in the imperial examination within five generations of the Lu family.
In this dynasty that advocates literary style, where all scholars aim for the title of the gold list, this punishment is not insignificant.
But after all, it was a rebellion, so it was extremely lucky not to lose his head.
In the future, maybe their Lu family will have a chance to end this punishment?
Ye Junshu's Lantern Festival was on the road, and their team happened to pass through a state city.
Wan Xingchang let the team stay for one night to participate in the lantern festival, having fun.
It's still winter, so it's not easy to hurry, so there is no time to delay the return journey.
Ye Junshu was delighted to hear this.
He has another chance to go to the Lantern Festival with Ah Yu!
At first they walked together, and as they walked, they gradually dispersed.
Ye Junshu took the opportunity to leave the group with Li Yu without a trace, changed his costume a little to make sure that he would not be recognized in front of acquaintances, and then held hands and went to the Lantern Festival in a fair manner.
Originally Li Yu didn't want to do this, but he couldn't resist Ye Junshu's various demands, so he had to accompany him in disguise.
Ye Junshu wished the whole world knew that he and Li Yu were together!
But this place is not modern after all, and the matchmaker's words are emphasized here. He and Ah Yu have no name or distinction, so we can't be too blatant.
Ah Yu's reputation here is bad enough, he doesn't want him to be a talking point behind others' backs.
Ye Junshu and Li Yu were still very restrained in front of others, and they didn't act ambiguously.
But it may occasionally show a little different eyes.In the past few days, Deng Hongyuan looked at him very strangely, as if he had discovered something.
When Deng Hongyuan found out, he would definitely report to the First Prince.
Ye Junshu had already decided to keep a distance from them. Although he was not afraid of him talking nonsense after returning, he should not cause trouble if he could, so as not to cause accidents in vain.
And after disguising, many things are much more convenient!
No one knows them, they can pretend to be husband and wife, and walk through the crowd hand in hand.
After visiting the Lantern Festival, I came back in disguise, returned to the place where I stayed, and rested for a while.
Not long after dawn, the journey continued.
Fortunately, they did not encounter heavy rain along the way. Although the weather was still cold and the road was slippery, they returned lightly and only rode horses and carriages, which was a few days shorter than the time Ye Junshu and the others came.
When he saw the majestic and towering city wall, Ye Junshu's heart immediately settled down.
Although the time he stayed in Shangjing was not the longest, it still gave him a familiar intimacy, and he regarded Shangjing as another hometown from the bottom of his heart.
After entering the city gate, Ye Junshu's heart was about to fly back.
I wonder if the children have lost weight or grown taller?Did you cry?Has he been bullied... He was fidgeting, wishing he could go home and see the child right away.
But they have to report on their duties first, and although they don't have the opportunity to speak, they still have to follow them into the palace.
Li Yu separated from them at the gate of the palace, he followed Wan Xingchang into the palace, and waited outside the palace to be summoned.
However, Emperor Tai'an summoned him only to see Wan Xingchang. They were just passing through the scene and did not have the chance to enter the hall to face the saint.
Seeing that Wan Xingchang also waited with them for a long time, Ye Junshu thought to himself that Emperor Tai'an might have summoned Ah Yu first.
When Wan Xingchang went to face the saint, the group of them took them to the side hall, where they were served with tea and snacks.
It was just after noon when they came back, they entered the palace and stood outside for a long time, they were already very hungry, but they didn't dare to eat more food in the palace, so they didn't move, just sat on their seats .
Not long after Ye Junshu sat with the crowd, a eunuch came in and said to Ye Junshu, "Master Ye, Your Majesty summoned you."
Ye Junshu was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, stood up quickly, and showed a modest smile, "Thank you, father-in-law."
The eyes of the other officials present looking at Ye Junshu suddenly changed. They were envious and jealous. They were not high officials, they had no chance to go to court, and basically had no chance to face the saint. Ye Junshu was summoned alone!
Deng Hongyuan's expression was even more ugly. Even though he knew that this was the imperial palace, he couldn't show his emotions too much. He had tried his best to control it, but the effect was not satisfactory.
Ye Junshu didn't care about the thoughts of the people behind him, he maintained this humble attitude, walked behind the eunuch who came to pass the word, and stood at the door of the imperial study room not long after.
The eunuch said a few words to another eunuch standing at the door, and then left.
The eunuch asked Ye Junshu to wait for a while, and then went inside.
Ye Junshu waited patiently, took a few deep breaths quietly, and was about to meet the supreme leader, nervous!
The eunuch who went to pass the message came out soon, and he smiled kindly, "Master Ye, please come in."
"Excuse me, Eunuch." Ye Junshu thanked the eunuch, straightened his clothes, then stepped in, and then stood under the throne, knelt and kowtowed to salute: "I have edited Ye Junshu by the Hanlin Academy, kowtow to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"
His position as a general judge is temporary. After the incident in Jinjiang, he will basically be recalled and the official will be restored to his original position, unless the emperor has a holy oath.
Emperor Tai'an said solemnly: "Aiqing is flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ye Junshu then got up and lowered his head slightly. He glanced casually out of the corner of his eye and found that Wan Xingchang was not the only one standing there, even the eldest prince was there.
The atmosphere here was not tense, and even a little relaxed. It seemed that nothing bad happened, and Ye Junshu was still serious about it.
Emperor Tai'an showed a smile on his face, and he said gently: "Wan Aiqing told me about the Jinjiang incident, and he praised you very much, as expected, you did not disappoint me, Ye Qing, you have done a good job."
Ye Junshu was humbled immediately, "Your Majesty's praise, I just did what I was supposed to do, Master Wan is a talented person, and the leader is good..." Ye Junshu didn't ask for credit, but praised Wan Xingchang instead.
"Haha..." Emperor Tai'an was in a good mood, and he said, "Wan Aiqing has made great achievements, and Ye Qing, you are also good, both are very good haha..."
Wan Xingchang cupped his hands aside, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation."
Emperor Tai'an was even happier, he smiled and cursed at Wan Xingchang, "Wan Aiqing, you thank me so much, I have no choice but to reward you?"
Wan Xingchang said solemnly, "Your Majesty, if you said rewards, you must be rewarded."
"You..." Emperor Tai'an laughed again.
The eldest prince joked aside, "Royal father, the two lords have made such great contributions, they should be rewarded, otherwise, lord Wan will cry."
Emperor Tai'an laughed again when he heard this, "Well, well, all are rewarded, all are rewarded."
Ye Junshu stood aside and laughed too.
Such a suitable monarch and minister, it seems that Wan Xingchang is really the confidant of Emperor Tai'an, otherwise he wouldn't be making such a joke.
When Emperor Tai'an summoned Ye Junshu, he didn't ask any specific questions, but only asked a few random questions, and Ye Junshu answered them truthfully after consideration.
Then he acted as the background and listened to Emperor Tai'an and Wan Xingchang talking.
Emperor Tai'an is really in a good mood recently. The civil chaos in Jinjiang subsided without much bloodshed. Li Yu recovered the stolen money from corruption and bribery, and his treasury was enriched a lot. some.
Looking inside and outside the court hall, he felt much more pleasing to the eye.
When Ye Junshu came out of the palace, it was already evening, and the sky was about to get dark.
They dispersed at the gate of the palace and went back to their homes.
Ye Junshu was riding a horse. If he hadn't been unable to gallop, he would have gone back on a fast horse.
As soon as he had just stepped out of the palace, someone stepped forward to intercept him and said, "Lord Ye, the master is here to invite you."
Ye Junshu remained expressionless, he looked at the person and said: "Please reply to your master, I really miss my family and can't wait to go home, why don't we get together again in the future."
The man froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect Ye Junshu to answer like this, and then just watched Ye Junshu gallop away, and when he remembered to stop him again, he was already far away.
Ye Junshu's mood at home was ruined a little.
If you think about it, you will know that there is no one who will intercept him here, except the eldest prince.
Ye Junshu had already decided to come back from the wrong path, so naturally he would no longer have contact with the First Prince's people.
After leaving the inner city, there were no people on the streets, and the sky had already darkened.
Ye Junshu speeded up a little.
When he saw the familiar scenery and the door of the house, he couldn't control his excitement anymore, got off his horse, walked up the steps quickly, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Ye Junshu's heart was so excited that it was about to jump out, and it kept beating.
After the slight sound of footsteps came from behind the door, and the sound of the bolt opening, the two doors were opened a crack, "Where... Eldest Young Master?!"
Ye Dayong was about to ask who it was, but just as he spoke, he saw a tall and tall figure standing at the door, with a very familiar face.
Ye Dayong was suddenly excited, "Master! You're back?!"
Ye Junshu smiled, "Yes, Dayong, I'm back."
Ye Dayong quickly opened the door, he was so excited that he couldn't speak, "Welcome Eldest Young Master... Young Master, the young masters miss you very much!"
Ye Junshu wanted to see the children even more, so he said, "Please bring the horse in for me."
"Okay, okay!" Ye Dayong responded repeatedly.
Ye Junshu quickly dodged in, and within a few steps, he bumped into Ye Chenshi, and exchanged some greetings. Ye Chenshi was also very excited. Seeing Ye Junshu's eagerness, he said, "The young masters are waiting for you In the yard."
Because Ye Junshu said before that he would come back in the next year, since then, the young masters and young masters, whenever they have time every day, either stand at the door as Wanggeshi, or wait in the elder master's yard until they go to bed.
Basically, at the gate during the day and at the main courtyard at night, trying to see the young master as soon as possible.
In the past two days, the young master and young master hugged their own little pillows and were about to sleep in the main courtyard.
Because he was not sure when Ye Junshu would come back, his room had been kept warm since the beginning of the year, so the two children were not afraid of catching cold.
Ye Junshu responded, and turned to the main courtyard.
His yard was brightly lit.
At this time, dinner had just been finished, and the children began to wait again every day.
Walking to the door of the house, Ye Junshu heard the twins' childish talk——
"When will big brother come back?"
"It's been several days since the new year!"
"Brother won't come back?"
"We were abandoned woo woo woo..."
Ye Junshu's heart ached when he heard it, and he hurried in, "Brother is back!"
Brother Lu was worrying about how to comfort the twins, when he heard a familiar voice, he froze for a moment, then turned his head, "Brother?!"
Ye Junshu looked at the children almost greedily, wishing he didn't have more pairs of eyes, seeing one but not the other, he couldn't bear to look away from any of them.
He said again, "I'm back!"
Brother Qin and the twins screamed, and then quickly rushed over——
"Big Brother!!!"
"Big brother!!!!"
Ye Junshu squatted down and opened his arms, tightly hugging the three children who rushed forward like a swallow in a homing posture.
"Big Brother, Big Brother..."
The children yelled and yelled again and again, and couldn't think of anything to say except to call for someone. They just grabbed Ye Junshu tightly and shouted desperately.
Ye Junshu kept responding, and looked at the children with a good eye, taller and thinner...
The children yelled for a while, and finally felt that the person in front of them had a sense of reality, and then cried "Wow" one after another.
While crying, he said, "Brother, why did you come back!"
"We miss you so much!"
Ye Junwei had a lot of scenes, so he leaned in Ye Junshu's arms crying, "I think about you day and night, I'm so thin!"
Ye Junshu: "..." He looked at Ye Junwei's pink, tender and pouty cheeks, and was speechless for a while, the joy and sadness of finally getting together was diluted, why is this kid so funny?
Brother Lu also came over, wiping his tears from time to time, and shouting "Big Brother" a few times with a choked voice.
Ye Junshu responded warmly. He opened his right hand and signaled Brother Lu to come over. Brother Lu couldn't help but leaned in and sniffed. He really missed his elder brother.
When the eldest brother was not around, everyone was mature, well-behaved and sensible, but when the eldest brother came back, he immediately became squeamish.
The brothers confided their thoughts to each other, and it took a while before they stopped. Hot noodle soup was prepared in the kitchen, and there were several small dishes that whetted the appetite just by looking at them.
The children turned into Ye Junshu's little tails, following them wherever they went.
Ye Junshu didn't eat anything at noon or night, so he was already hungry at this time, and seeing the meals at home whetted his appetite even more.
Several children were also sitting at the table, talking about what happened when he was away, and complaining to each other from time to time.
While eating happily, Ye Junshu was smiling while listening, and from time to time he picked up some side dishes to feed the child a few mouthfuls.
Just looking at the children, all worries are gone.
Ye Junshu ate everything on the table, and then went back to the room, with tall and short children trailing behind, running behind Ye Junshu.
Ye Junwei ran back and forth and asked, "Big brother, can you hear our wish? I want a drinking bird, so you bought it for me!"
"Big brother is amazing! Big brother knows everything!" Brother Jing's small face was full of admiration, "I want a jigsaw puzzle, so big brother gave me this gift!"
Ye Junshu felt dazzled seeing Ye Junwei running non-stop energetically, so when he ran to pass by, he grabbed Ye Junwei and hugged him in his arms, causing Ye Junwei to scream excitedly holding Ye Junshu.
Brother Jing saw that the twin brother was hugged, D immediately ran to Ye Junshu, opened his little hands, and shouted while jumping, "I want to hug me too!"
So Ye Junshu bent down and picked up Brother Jing, one in each hand.
He weighed it with both hands, and it became much firmer and more weighty.
Seeing that the children liked the New Year's gifts he and Ah Yu had chosen, Ye Junshu was very proud of them, and it seemed that Ah Yu knew the children's hearts very well!
So he gave Ah Yu a good impression in front of the children, "These are gifts chosen by your future brother."
He didn't lie, Xiao Shan's dagger was chosen by Ah Yu, Lu Geer's hairpin was chosen by Ah Yu, Qin Geer's was also chosen by Ah Yu, and Xiao Wei's drinking bird was said to be a child in the palace. If you love to play, you will buy it when you see it is on sale. Brother Jing’s jigsaw puzzles are more special than the ones in the capital, and Ah Yu also chose them.
With a wow, the children hurriedly asked, who is the future brother?
They have learned a lot since the last time some bad guys tried to send someone to the elder brother, and Nan Amo occasionally chanted a few words.
They knew that in the future, a brother who was as important as the eldest brother would join their family and become a close family.
Nan Ah said that the elder brother is like a father, and the elder brother is like a mother, that is similar to their mother, and the children are looking forward to it.
Ye Junshu smiled and said nothing, letting them make wild guesses.
Brother Qin, who had been very quiet all this time, suddenly said, "Brother, when will you bring me back as a bond?"
Ye Junshu: "..."
Brother Lu touched the hairpin on his head, and made up his sword with a smile: "Yes, big brother, when will I really become a brother in the future?"
Ye Junshu: "..."
Ye Junshu's indifferent face, baby, you have changed, you are no longer my cute baby!
Holding the lantern in one hand and the store's account book in the other, Brother Lu stood a few steps away from the door, waited for Nan Rong to lock the door, walked to Brother Lu, took the lantern, and then walked away.
Holding the account book, Brother Lu casually chatted with Nan Rong. He said worriedly: "I don't know what's going on with Big Brother. He won't get hurt, right?"
The eldest brother left for more than a month, and there was no news at all.In particular, he went to Jinjiang, where the civil uprising occurred, which is really worrying.
Brother Lu didn't pay attention to this before, and he didn't know that there was such a thing. Since he didn't know it at the time, it shouldn't be a long time, and it wasn't very serious.
The brothers counted the days until the eldest brother came back.
Brother Lu once again realized what it means to live a tormented life, and without his eldest brother by his side, he feels that his family is in a bad state.
Nan Rong said: "Eldest Young Master Ji Ren has his own aura, so he will be safe."
"Ah."
Lu Ge'er was still a little depressed, even though the business of the shop was very good this year and made a lot of money, it still couldn't make him happy.
After walking a few steps, a handsome young man in a gorgeous brocade suit and fur robe walked towards him.
The other party saw Brother Lu and walked over quickly.
"Brother Lu!"
Brother Lu stopped in his tracks and looked up at the person who came, quite surprised, "Xiao Shizi, why are you here?"
Xiao Shizi walked beside Lu Geer, and smiled, "I'll take you home!"
Brother Lu pursed his lips and smiled, but still said, "Little Shizi, you don't have to do this."
Xiao Shizi patted his thin chest, held his head high and said, "Brother Zizhou is not here, I am here to protect you."
He thinks that he is already a good friend and brother of Brother Zizhou, and Brother Zizhou is still Brother Yu's sweetheart, and sooner or later they will be a family. Now that Brother Zizhou is not in the capital, there are a bunch of young children in the family, and the little prince is naturally obliged Take care of them!
Seeing Xiao Shizi's appearance, Brother Lu couldn't help being amused, and wanted to say something, but from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Nan Amo who was following them unhurriedly, three steps away, and held back again.
He said reservedly: "That will trouble the little prince."
"No trouble, no trouble." Xiao Shizi waved his hand.
The two walked in front, followed by Nan Rong and Xiao Shizi's personal servants.
Xiao Shizi still likes Lu Geer, an ugly guy. Although his appearance doesn't suit his liking, how understanding and clever he is!
He just likes to get along with the ugly brother, so he can't help but come here again and again.
Xiao Shizi said: "Brother Lu, I am your brother's good brother and friend, shouldn't you call me brother?" !
He is the youngest at home, and he has never been called brother!
Of course, he doesn't care if others call him brother, but it's rare for Lu Geer to call him, hehe!
Lu Ge'er was silent for a while, and said hesitantly: "Brother Xiaobao?"
Xiaoshizi: "..."
Xiao Shizi said awkwardly: "Let's call me Brother Yun." The name Xiaobao is really too childish, but it's a pity that it won't work out in the hands of the elders, otherwise he would have changed his name a long time ago.
Brother Lu knew how much Xiao Shizi disliked his name, he couldn't help but secretly smiled, and then called out: "Brother Yun."
"Hey!" Xiao Shizi responded happily.
The two looked at each other and smirked, and suddenly there was a chill on their faces, Geer Lu subconsciously raised his hand, and white snowflakes fell sparsely in front of his eyes.
Brother Lu looked up, and saw snowflakes as small as goose feathers, falling from the sky like catkins.
"Ah! It's snowing!" Lu Geer exclaimed.
This year, the snow fell very late in Shangjing. I heard that other places had already had heavy snowfall, but apart from two downpours in Shangjing, the sky was gloomy for a few days, and there was no snow.
Brother Lu thought that it might not snow in Beijing this year, but he didn't expect that it would still snow a few years ago.
Xiao Shizi also raised his head, seeming to sigh: "Yes, it's snowing."
The two stood facing each other in the snow, looking up at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and the surrounding white snow fluttered gently.
If you ignore Lu Geer's face full of marks and look at it from a distance, it is a very beautiful picture.
Nan Ah, who was standing not far away, couldn't help coughing heavily, extremely puzzled.
Only then did Brother Lu and Xiao Shizi come back to their senses.
Brother Lu couldn't help but blushed a little, Xiao Shizi giggled, "I just realized that it's very beautiful when it snows."
"Ah."
Nan Ahmo reminded: "My lord, it's time to go home."
Brother Lu responded again, and then stepped forward to continue walking.
Because the snow was not falling heavily, the group of people walked in no hurry.
Lu Geer and Xiao Shizi chatted and laughed all the way, and soon they saw Ye Mansion, Lu Geer said goodbye to Xiao Shizi at the door with a smile on his face.
It was already dark, and the elder brother was away, so it was inconvenient to invite outsiders in.
Xiao Shizi was a little bit reluctant, why did he feel that the road was so close, he got there without saying a few words, and he still wanted to talk to Brother Lu!
Brother Lu saw that the snow would not stop for a while, thought for a while, and asked Xiao Shizi to wait for a while, then ran into the mansion by himself, and came out with an oiled paper umbrella after a while.
Brother Lu calmed down his shortness of breath due to running so fast, walked up to Xiao Shizi, and handed the oil-paper umbrella into Xiao Shizi's hand, "Brother Yun, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, you can go back with the umbrella."
The snow fell on the body, and after melting, it was cold and clammy, and it was easy to get sick.
"Okay." Xiao Shizi happily accepted Lu Ge'er's concern.
"Then I'm going back."
"Well, I'll come to play with you some other day when I'm free!"
Lu Ge'er could feel Nan's eyes on him, and knew that he didn't approve of him getting too close to Xiao Shizi, but he still responded in a low voice: "Okay."
Xiao Shizi watched Lu Geer go in, admired the oil umbrella in his hand with a smile on his face, opened it after a while, propped it on top of his head, and left with the servant.
Brother Lu walked across the yard, stood under the corridor, took off his little cloak, and shook off the snowflakes on it.
After Nan Amo blew out the lantern, she hung it aside casually, then took the small cloak from Brother Lu before speaking—
"My lord, there is a difference between a father and a brother. You shouldn't get so close to an outsider."
"Ah, don't worry, I know it well. And..." Brother Lu rubbed his face, laughing at himself, "I look so ugly, no one will think that I can be friends with Xiao Shizi , I'm very happy."
No one knows Xiao Shizi better than him. The best thing about Xiao Shizi is beauty. How could he have any thoughts about his ugly face?He took care of himself like this because of his brother.
"Young master is excellent." Nan Ahmo praised, and then reminded him sternly, "Even if you are friends, you should keep your distance."
"Don't worry, Ah Mo!" Lu Geer took Nan Ah Mo's hand and said coquettishly, "Every time we meet, Ah Mo is there, we won't be alone."
Ah Nan thought about it, and it was true.
It's just that he has lived for so many years, how can he not see that the young master has a good impression of that little prince?He just felt that the family backgrounds of the two families were so different.
What's more, he knows the criteria for selecting sons and husbands of aristocratic families. The son has no father and no mother. This alone displeases most wives.
In their view, this is a kind of ominous and bad luck.
Moreover, without elders in the family, there would be no good education environment. In any aristocratic family, which one not only wants to socialize, but also manages the inner house, and also deals with wives of various statuses, which is full of knowledge.
The child's marriage must be decided by the close elders, so that they will be favored by the in-laws, and will not make people look down on this person in their hearts.
Nan Ah has always been worried about this, but she didn't say it out, she just pushed a few words to the young master.
Given the situation of their family, no matter how high the young master's official position is, it is difficult for the young masters below to discuss a better marriage, if the young master does not conclude the contract all the time.
The situation will be better if the family background of the in-laws is weaker than them, but it will be difficult if the family background is equal or better.
The little masters in my family are all so smart, cute and cute, Nan Ahma naturally hopes that they can make a good partner.
Since ancient times, the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest brother is like a mother.
Only when the young master has a husband, can the young masters talk about marriage.
My little master is naturally very good, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is picky in every possible way.
If the eldest and young master form a contract, and the son will be raised by his wife's side for a few years, it will be easy to talk about kissing in the future.Maybe when the eldest and young master's official status becomes bigger, he and Xiao Shizi will have some hope.
Nan Ahmo decided that when the eldest young master came back, he would remind him a few more times that it was time to settle the major issues in life!
Brother Lu naturally didn't know about Nan Ah's worries. When he walked outside the house, he heard Brother Qin's laughter. !
You know, since the eldest brother left, the younger brothers haven't laughed so happily.
Brother Lu walked in quickly, looked around happily, and was a little disappointed when he didn't see the eldest brother, but he was still very happy, "Second brother, Chenghe, you are back!"
On the shoulders of Ye Junshan and Nan Chenghe, each is riding a child, they are twins.
Ye Junshan was steadily driving Brother Jing, and Nan Chenghe was driving Ye Junwei. The four of them were playing a bullfight, and Brother Qin was standing beside him clapping his hands and laughing happily.
When Ye Junshan saw Brother Lu coming back, he stopped his movements and smiled naively, "Yes, the military camp is on holiday, let's come back and prepare for the New Year."
In fact, they didn't go on vacation so soon, but the eldest brother was not here. As the second child in the family, he was naturally worried about his younger brothers, so he asked for a few days off.
They are just recruits, and they only have training and training on a daily basis, and they don't have to go on missions. It doesn't affect them, so they are given leave.
They now have a 20-day holiday, from today until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
By then the elder brother will be back almost as well.Only then can they devote themselves to training with peace of mind.
"Go ahead and play, I'll go to the kitchen to cook something delicious."
Lu Geer didn't stop for a moment, turned around and wanted to go to the kitchen.
Ye Junshan quickly stopped him, "Ms. Ye Chen is almost ready. You just came back, and the cold wind has been blowing outside for so long. Sit down and warm up first."
There are many children in the family and their resistance is weak. They have already burned the stove, and the whole house is warm at this time.
Brother Lu thought for a while, but he didn't refuse to answer. He took advantage of the situation and sat aside, watching his brothers play with a smile.
After a while, Nan Ah came in with a bowl of ginger soup, and asked Brother Lu to drink it to dispel the cold.Then he went out with a smile on his face.
Brother Lu hasn't seen his second brother for several days.Every time we meet, I feel a big change.
Ye Junshan is growing his body, and with the intensity of his daily training, his height is basically visible to the naked eye. It is estimated that after another year of growth, he will be on the same level as Ye Junshu.
His skeleton is like my father's, which is relatively broad, so he doesn't look thin, but he is much darker.
The brothers are getting better, and Brother Lu is very happy from the bottom of his heart.
Afterwards, their family was always in joy. Within two days after Ye Junshan and the others came back, the elder brother's letter arrived!
A thick letter, each of the brothers in the family has a share.
They each took their own share in their hands, read and read word by word, and then looked at each other.
Ye Junwei and Brother Jing have been enlightened and can understand letters, and they are clamoring to reply to Ye Jun's letter.
Ye Jun has already said in his letter that he will come back after the new year, and let them be obedient, obedient and not mischievous.
Brother Jing counted the days with his fingers, and then squinted his mouth, there is still a long, long time!
Brother Jing sniffed and was very strong and didn't cry.
Since Ye Junshu left, the children have grown up a lot, become more sensible, don't cry often, are very well-behaved, and don't cause trouble lawlessly.
If Ye Junshu found out, he would be very pleased.
Brother Jing couldn't hold back his tears, and Brother Qin couldn't help it anymore, he said silently: "I miss you so much!" His voice was still crying.
Ye Junwei walked up to Brother Qin with his short legs, and the chubby hand patted Brother Qin, and comforted him solemnly with his fleshy face: "Fourth Brother, don't be sad, Big Brother will be back soon."
"That's right." Brother Lu touched the back of Brother Qin's head, "Brother even brought us a gift! It will arrive in two days, Brother Qin, what is it?"
Brother Qin was distracted, tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and then happily said: "It's delicious!"
Well, this is a little greedy cat.
"It's fun!" Brother Jing was also looking forward to it, "Jigsaw puzzle!"
His jigsaw puzzle was broken some time ago, so brother will buy him a new one!
Ye Junwei held his head high and said disdainfully: "Brother will definitely not buy something as naive as a jigsaw puzzle, it must be a drinking bird! Last time Songsong brought a drinking bird to the school, it was fun!"
Brother Jing suddenly became unhappy, he snorted heavily, "How naive! You can't play as well as me!"
"It's childish!" Ye Jun made a face for Brother Chao Jing.
"You are naive!"
Seeing that the twins were about to quarrel, Brother Lu hurriedly called back to smooth things over, "Okay, big brother just praised you for being sensible! Be friendly brothers and don't quarrel!"
The twins snorted at each other, and turned their heads left and right.
Although Ye Junshu hadn't come back yet, with his letter, the Ye family, which had been depressed for almost two months, finally regained its vitality.
Looking forward to the new year too.
On the day before the New Year's Eve, Yu Maolin and his husband came over in person, intending to bring Ye Junshan's children to their home for the New Year.
But Ye Junshan and the others refused.
They have their own family, so what's the point of going to someone else's house for the New Year, no matter how close the two families are, it doesn't make sense.
When they celebrated the New Year together in Yongzhou, they rented Brother Maolin's house. They lived together, so there is nothing wrong with celebrating the New Year together. Now they all have their own homes.
However, they were taken over by Yu Maolin for a few days in the afternoon of the first day of the new year, and they were not allowed back until the fifth day of the new year.
At this time, the gift Ye Junshu bought also arrived, which naturally made the children excited for a long time.
Ye Junshu was not at home, but there were still some favors to be exchanged, but those who were not very familiar with him were not allowed to receive them.
Fang's mansion must be visited, it is the home of the eldest brother's senior brother.
Ye Junshan took a group of children to Fangfu on behalf of Ye Junshu, and then ate, drank, drank and had fun at home for a few days, and it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the blink of an eye.
The grand occasion of the Lantern Festival is still fresh in their memory, but it’s easy to get confused when there are too many people. Ye Junshan doesn’t dare to take so many younger brothers out to play. .
Brother Maolin went to the banquet and couldn't spare time to bring them.
Just as he was hesitating whether to go out, Xiao Shizi brought a dozen of his men over and invited them to watch the Lantern Festival.
Xiao Shizi came to Ye's house diligently, and they were all familiar with him.
Although Ye Junshan felt that it was inappropriate, he couldn't resist the eager eyes of his younger brothers, and finally agreed to go out to watch the lantern festival with Xiao Shizi.
After the lively lantern festival, the children counted their fingers, and then jumped up and down with excitement, the eldest brother is coming back!
Ye Junshu and the others received an imperial edict on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
The matter here has come to an end. Although some people know that there are other people behind the scenes, with this result, both parties are satisfied, so the case is closed.
Li Yu knew much more about Ye Junshu than Ye Junshu, and their relationship was developing steadily. In this regard, there was nothing to hide. When Ye Junshu returned to Shangjing, he would know the result.
So Li Yu told Ye Junshu the court's judgment.
Liang Zhifu and Cui Liangdao were executed three days after their conviction, that is, they were sentenced years ago. Some of their immediate family members who participated in the crime were also executed, and other collateral members and family members were sentenced to exile.
There are also some less important officials who have been picked out one after another, and a batch of them have been dealt with one after another.
During that time, the bloodbath in the execution ground could not be washed clean.
Affected by this, the officials were extremely honest during this period, as quiet as a quail.
The vicissitudes of the imperial court have nothing to do with Ye Junshu who is far away in the sky... It can't be said that it has nothing to do with it, but it has little influence on him.
When I go back this time, I will probably be credited. Even if I can't be promoted immediately, I will definitely be rated as excellent in the performance appraisal after two years, which is also good for promotion and transfer.
Ye Junshu was in a great mood to pack up their bags, and they had already set off to return to Beijing on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
The government affairs on the Jinjiang side will be temporarily taken over by the officials here. Wan Xingchang has the right to designate this. He let three officials take charge of it together until the imperial court appoints the prefect.
In addition to calling them back, the imperial decree also made a decision to punish the Lu family.
During this turmoil, the Lu family made great achievements and great demerits, and the merits and demerits offset each other. Although the civil disturbance was controlled within a controllable range, this matter was too sensitive and taboo for the superiors.
Therefore, although the Lu family was not beheaded or fined money, they were punished not to be an official in the imperial examination within five generations of the Lu family.
In this dynasty that advocates literary style, where all scholars aim for the title of the gold list, this punishment is not insignificant.
But after all, it was a rebellion, so it was extremely lucky not to lose his head.
In the future, maybe their Lu family will have a chance to end this punishment?
Ye Junshu's Lantern Festival was on the road, and their team happened to pass through a state city.
Wan Xingchang let the team stay for one night to participate in the lantern festival, having fun.
It's still winter, so it's not easy to hurry, so there is no time to delay the return journey.
Ye Junshu was delighted to hear this.
He has another chance to go to the Lantern Festival with Ah Yu!
At first they walked together, and as they walked, they gradually dispersed.
Ye Junshu took the opportunity to leave the group with Li Yu without a trace, changed his costume a little to make sure that he would not be recognized in front of acquaintances, and then held hands and went to the Lantern Festival in a fair manner.
Originally Li Yu didn't want to do this, but he couldn't resist Ye Junshu's various demands, so he had to accompany him in disguise.
Ye Junshu wished the whole world knew that he and Li Yu were together!
But this place is not modern after all, and the matchmaker's words are emphasized here. He and Ah Yu have no name or distinction, so we can't be too blatant.
Ah Yu's reputation here is bad enough, he doesn't want him to be a talking point behind others' backs.
Ye Junshu and Li Yu were still very restrained in front of others, and they didn't act ambiguously.
But it may occasionally show a little different eyes.In the past few days, Deng Hongyuan looked at him very strangely, as if he had discovered something.
When Deng Hongyuan found out, he would definitely report to the First Prince.
Ye Junshu had already decided to keep a distance from them. Although he was not afraid of him talking nonsense after returning, he should not cause trouble if he could, so as not to cause accidents in vain.
And after disguising, many things are much more convenient!
No one knows them, they can pretend to be husband and wife, and walk through the crowd hand in hand.
After visiting the Lantern Festival, I came back in disguise, returned to the place where I stayed, and rested for a while.
Not long after dawn, the journey continued.
Fortunately, they did not encounter heavy rain along the way. Although the weather was still cold and the road was slippery, they returned lightly and only rode horses and carriages, which was a few days shorter than the time Ye Junshu and the others came.
When he saw the majestic and towering city wall, Ye Junshu's heart immediately settled down.
Although the time he stayed in Shangjing was not the longest, it still gave him a familiar intimacy, and he regarded Shangjing as another hometown from the bottom of his heart.
After entering the city gate, Ye Junshu's heart was about to fly back.
I wonder if the children have lost weight or grown taller?Did you cry?Has he been bullied... He was fidgeting, wishing he could go home and see the child right away.
But they have to report on their duties first, and although they don't have the opportunity to speak, they still have to follow them into the palace.
Li Yu separated from them at the gate of the palace, he followed Wan Xingchang into the palace, and waited outside the palace to be summoned.
However, Emperor Tai'an summoned him only to see Wan Xingchang. They were just passing through the scene and did not have the chance to enter the hall to face the saint.
Seeing that Wan Xingchang also waited with them for a long time, Ye Junshu thought to himself that Emperor Tai'an might have summoned Ah Yu first.
When Wan Xingchang went to face the saint, the group of them took them to the side hall, where they were served with tea and snacks.
It was just after noon when they came back, they entered the palace and stood outside for a long time, they were already very hungry, but they didn't dare to eat more food in the palace, so they didn't move, just sat on their seats .
Not long after Ye Junshu sat with the crowd, a eunuch came in and said to Ye Junshu, "Master Ye, Your Majesty summoned you."
Ye Junshu was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, stood up quickly, and showed a modest smile, "Thank you, father-in-law."
The eyes of the other officials present looking at Ye Junshu suddenly changed. They were envious and jealous. They were not high officials, they had no chance to go to court, and basically had no chance to face the saint. Ye Junshu was summoned alone!
Deng Hongyuan's expression was even more ugly. Even though he knew that this was the imperial palace, he couldn't show his emotions too much. He had tried his best to control it, but the effect was not satisfactory.
Ye Junshu didn't care about the thoughts of the people behind him, he maintained this humble attitude, walked behind the eunuch who came to pass the word, and stood at the door of the imperial study room not long after.
The eunuch said a few words to another eunuch standing at the door, and then left.
The eunuch asked Ye Junshu to wait for a while, and then went inside.
Ye Junshu waited patiently, took a few deep breaths quietly, and was about to meet the supreme leader, nervous!
The eunuch who went to pass the message came out soon, and he smiled kindly, "Master Ye, please come in."
"Excuse me, Eunuch." Ye Junshu thanked the eunuch, straightened his clothes, then stepped in, and then stood under the throne, knelt and kowtowed to salute: "I have edited Ye Junshu by the Hanlin Academy, kowtow to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"
His position as a general judge is temporary. After the incident in Jinjiang, he will basically be recalled and the official will be restored to his original position, unless the emperor has a holy oath.
Emperor Tai'an said solemnly: "Aiqing is flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ye Junshu then got up and lowered his head slightly. He glanced casually out of the corner of his eye and found that Wan Xingchang was not the only one standing there, even the eldest prince was there.
The atmosphere here was not tense, and even a little relaxed. It seemed that nothing bad happened, and Ye Junshu was still serious about it.
Emperor Tai'an showed a smile on his face, and he said gently: "Wan Aiqing told me about the Jinjiang incident, and he praised you very much, as expected, you did not disappoint me, Ye Qing, you have done a good job."
Ye Junshu was humbled immediately, "Your Majesty's praise, I just did what I was supposed to do, Master Wan is a talented person, and the leader is good..." Ye Junshu didn't ask for credit, but praised Wan Xingchang instead.
"Haha..." Emperor Tai'an was in a good mood, and he said, "Wan Aiqing has made great achievements, and Ye Qing, you are also good, both are very good haha..."
Wan Xingchang cupped his hands aside, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation."
Emperor Tai'an was even happier, he smiled and cursed at Wan Xingchang, "Wan Aiqing, you thank me so much, I have no choice but to reward you?"
Wan Xingchang said solemnly, "Your Majesty, if you said rewards, you must be rewarded."
"You..." Emperor Tai'an laughed again.
The eldest prince joked aside, "Royal father, the two lords have made such great contributions, they should be rewarded, otherwise, lord Wan will cry."
Emperor Tai'an laughed again when he heard this, "Well, well, all are rewarded, all are rewarded."
Ye Junshu stood aside and laughed too.
Such a suitable monarch and minister, it seems that Wan Xingchang is really the confidant of Emperor Tai'an, otherwise he wouldn't be making such a joke.
When Emperor Tai'an summoned Ye Junshu, he didn't ask any specific questions, but only asked a few random questions, and Ye Junshu answered them truthfully after consideration.
Then he acted as the background and listened to Emperor Tai'an and Wan Xingchang talking.
Emperor Tai'an is really in a good mood recently. The civil chaos in Jinjiang subsided without much bloodshed. Li Yu recovered the stolen money from corruption and bribery, and his treasury was enriched a lot. some.
Looking inside and outside the court hall, he felt much more pleasing to the eye.
When Ye Junshu came out of the palace, it was already evening, and the sky was about to get dark.
They dispersed at the gate of the palace and went back to their homes.
Ye Junshu was riding a horse. If he hadn't been unable to gallop, he would have gone back on a fast horse.
As soon as he had just stepped out of the palace, someone stepped forward to intercept him and said, "Lord Ye, the master is here to invite you."
Ye Junshu remained expressionless, he looked at the person and said: "Please reply to your master, I really miss my family and can't wait to go home, why don't we get together again in the future."
The man froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect Ye Junshu to answer like this, and then just watched Ye Junshu gallop away, and when he remembered to stop him again, he was already far away.
Ye Junshu's mood at home was ruined a little.
If you think about it, you will know that there is no one who will intercept him here, except the eldest prince.
Ye Junshu had already decided to come back from the wrong path, so naturally he would no longer have contact with the First Prince's people.
After leaving the inner city, there were no people on the streets, and the sky had already darkened.
Ye Junshu speeded up a little.
When he saw the familiar scenery and the door of the house, he couldn't control his excitement anymore, got off his horse, walked up the steps quickly, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Ye Junshu's heart was so excited that it was about to jump out, and it kept beating.
After the slight sound of footsteps came from behind the door, and the sound of the bolt opening, the two doors were opened a crack, "Where... Eldest Young Master?!"
Ye Dayong was about to ask who it was, but just as he spoke, he saw a tall and tall figure standing at the door, with a very familiar face.
Ye Dayong was suddenly excited, "Master! You're back?!"
Ye Junshu smiled, "Yes, Dayong, I'm back."
Ye Dayong quickly opened the door, he was so excited that he couldn't speak, "Welcome Eldest Young Master... Young Master, the young masters miss you very much!"
Ye Junshu wanted to see the children even more, so he said, "Please bring the horse in for me."
"Okay, okay!" Ye Dayong responded repeatedly.
Ye Junshu quickly dodged in, and within a few steps, he bumped into Ye Chenshi, and exchanged some greetings. Ye Chenshi was also very excited. Seeing Ye Junshu's eagerness, he said, "The young masters are waiting for you In the yard."
Because Ye Junshu said before that he would come back in the next year, since then, the young masters and young masters, whenever they have time every day, either stand at the door as Wanggeshi, or wait in the elder master's yard until they go to bed.
Basically, at the gate during the day and at the main courtyard at night, trying to see the young master as soon as possible.
In the past two days, the young master and young master hugged their own little pillows and were about to sleep in the main courtyard.
Because he was not sure when Ye Junshu would come back, his room had been kept warm since the beginning of the year, so the two children were not afraid of catching cold.
Ye Junshu responded, and turned to the main courtyard.
His yard was brightly lit.
At this time, dinner had just been finished, and the children began to wait again every day.
Walking to the door of the house, Ye Junshu heard the twins' childish talk——
"When will big brother come back?"
"It's been several days since the new year!"
"Brother won't come back?"
"We were abandoned woo woo woo..."
Ye Junshu's heart ached when he heard it, and he hurried in, "Brother is back!"
Brother Lu was worrying about how to comfort the twins, when he heard a familiar voice, he froze for a moment, then turned his head, "Brother?!"
Ye Junshu looked at the children almost greedily, wishing he didn't have more pairs of eyes, seeing one but not the other, he couldn't bear to look away from any of them.
He said again, "I'm back!"
Brother Qin and the twins screamed, and then quickly rushed over——
"Big Brother!!!"
"Big brother!!!!"
Ye Junshu squatted down and opened his arms, tightly hugging the three children who rushed forward like a swallow in a homing posture.
"Big Brother, Big Brother..."
The children yelled and yelled again and again, and couldn't think of anything to say except to call for someone. They just grabbed Ye Junshu tightly and shouted desperately.
Ye Junshu kept responding, and looked at the children with a good eye, taller and thinner...
The children yelled for a while, and finally felt that the person in front of them had a sense of reality, and then cried "Wow" one after another.
While crying, he said, "Brother, why did you come back!"
"We miss you so much!"
Ye Junwei had a lot of scenes, so he leaned in Ye Junshu's arms crying, "I think about you day and night, I'm so thin!"
Ye Junshu: "..." He looked at Ye Junwei's pink, tender and pouty cheeks, and was speechless for a while, the joy and sadness of finally getting together was diluted, why is this kid so funny?
Brother Lu also came over, wiping his tears from time to time, and shouting "Big Brother" a few times with a choked voice.
Ye Junshu responded warmly. He opened his right hand and signaled Brother Lu to come over. Brother Lu couldn't help but leaned in and sniffed. He really missed his elder brother.
When the eldest brother was not around, everyone was mature, well-behaved and sensible, but when the eldest brother came back, he immediately became squeamish.
The brothers confided their thoughts to each other, and it took a while before they stopped. Hot noodle soup was prepared in the kitchen, and there were several small dishes that whetted the appetite just by looking at them.
The children turned into Ye Junshu's little tails, following them wherever they went.
Ye Junshu didn't eat anything at noon or night, so he was already hungry at this time, and seeing the meals at home whetted his appetite even more.
Several children were also sitting at the table, talking about what happened when he was away, and complaining to each other from time to time.
While eating happily, Ye Junshu was smiling while listening, and from time to time he picked up some side dishes to feed the child a few mouthfuls.
Just looking at the children, all worries are gone.
Ye Junshu ate everything on the table, and then went back to the room, with tall and short children trailing behind, running behind Ye Junshu.
Ye Junwei ran back and forth and asked, "Big brother, can you hear our wish? I want a drinking bird, so you bought it for me!"
"Big brother is amazing! Big brother knows everything!" Brother Jing's small face was full of admiration, "I want a jigsaw puzzle, so big brother gave me this gift!"
Ye Junshu felt dazzled seeing Ye Junwei running non-stop energetically, so when he ran to pass by, he grabbed Ye Junwei and hugged him in his arms, causing Ye Junwei to scream excitedly holding Ye Junshu.
Brother Jing saw that the twin brother was hugged, D immediately ran to Ye Junshu, opened his little hands, and shouted while jumping, "I want to hug me too!"
So Ye Junshu bent down and picked up Brother Jing, one in each hand.
He weighed it with both hands, and it became much firmer and more weighty.
Seeing that the children liked the New Year's gifts he and Ah Yu had chosen, Ye Junshu was very proud of them, and it seemed that Ah Yu knew the children's hearts very well!
So he gave Ah Yu a good impression in front of the children, "These are gifts chosen by your future brother."
He didn't lie, Xiao Shan's dagger was chosen by Ah Yu, Lu Geer's hairpin was chosen by Ah Yu, Qin Geer's was also chosen by Ah Yu, and Xiao Wei's drinking bird was said to be a child in the palace. If you love to play, you will buy it when you see it is on sale. Brother Jing’s jigsaw puzzles are more special than the ones in the capital, and Ah Yu also chose them.
With a wow, the children hurriedly asked, who is the future brother?
They have learned a lot since the last time some bad guys tried to send someone to the elder brother, and Nan Amo occasionally chanted a few words.
They knew that in the future, a brother who was as important as the eldest brother would join their family and become a close family.
Nan Ah said that the elder brother is like a father, and the elder brother is like a mother, that is similar to their mother, and the children are looking forward to it.
Ye Junshu smiled and said nothing, letting them make wild guesses.
Brother Qin, who had been very quiet all this time, suddenly said, "Brother, when will you bring me back as a bond?"
Ye Junshu: "..."
Brother Lu touched the hairpin on his head, and made up his sword with a smile: "Yes, big brother, when will I really become a brother in the future?"
Ye Junshu: "..."
Ye Junshu's indifferent face, baby, you have changed, you are no longer my cute baby!
