Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

The man in front of him had a serious expression on his face. Ye Chongjin thought he was going to say something important, but it turned out that he was worried about the wedding date.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "Whenever you can't get married, the person is always yours, and I'm afraid I won't be able to run away."

When Gu Chen heard this, his face became even more unsightly. Hearing the meaning of A Jin's words, it really meant to postpone.

He frowned, stuffed the person into his arms, and said dissatisfiedly: "In Ah Jin's heart, other people are always more important than me. That kid from the Lu family was kidnapped, and he was probably worshiped as an emperor. How could it hurt him at all?" , You care about him, don't think about it, I feel uncomfortable."

Ye Chongjin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Gu Chen nodded.

Ye Chongjin put his palm on his chest, rubbed it lightly, and said, "Is this still uncomfortable?"

The emperor's heart beat suddenly quickened, he pressed the man on the Arhat bed, kissed and kissed again, and said: "I can't wait for a moment, so I simply use the heavens and the earth as the matchmaker, and the sun and the moon are the matchmakers, and the marriage will be done today."

He kissed and licked at the same time, which made Ye Chongjin itch so much that tears fell from his smile, and he squinted a pair of bright eyes full of tears, looking at him, the color was touching, it was really lively and fragrant, Gu Chen unexpectedly It's because I was crazy about it, and I didn't move for a long time.

Ye Chongjin tugged at his sleeve and said, "I'm hungry."

Gu Chen sat up, arranged his clothes first, then combed his hair neatly, knelt down to put on the boy's shoes and socks, and said to the outside: "Pass the meal."

There was a sound from outside the hall, more than a dozen palace people lowered their eyebrows, and no one dared to glance into the hall.

Gu Chen held the child's white and tender feet, feeling both love and hatred in his heart, secretly thought, what's the difference between raising an ancestor, a majestic emperor can't ask for any favors in changing clothes and feeding him.

But raising his eyes, Ah Jin smiled at him, and all the complaints disappeared in an instant, leaving only the sweetness in his heart.

======

When he came back from the palace, a few lanterns were lit in front of the mansion, and his parents and elder brothers were waiting for him outside the mansion.

When Ye Chongjin got off the carriage, An Shi stepped forward and held his hand, saying, "Ah Jin, the capital has not been peaceful recently, so don't let it be so late next time."

Even though it's spring, it's still cold at night.

Ye Chongjin warmed An Shi's hand with his own, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, when you come out of the palace, there will be guards escorting you all the way."

An Shi originally wanted to say that with the status of the young master of the Lu family, he was taken captive, but thinking that his son and Lu Ziyan had always been on good terms, he must be worried, so he swallowed the words.

She said: "Even so, Mother is always worried."

Ye Chongjin had no choice but to promise that he would not dare to stay outside next time, so An Shi was willing to let him go, saying that the decoction that makes people dull and nourishing the body should be eaten while it is hot, and led him into the house.

When Ye Chongjin heard the word "decoction", there was a little fear in his eyes, and he asked his brother for help with his eyes.

Ye Chonghui received the signal from his younger brother, a slight smile leaked from his eyes, and he just mouthed to him—obediently finish the drink.

The old man was teasing the twins in the room, and when he saw Ye Chongjin, he snorted heavily.

"..."

Ye Chongjin walked up to the old man and called obediently, "Grandpa."

As soon as the old man saw him, his heart softened. He just deliberately put on a straight face and said, "Why are you still calling me grandpa? I'm going to enter the palace at the end of the month. In the last days, if you don't stay at home to accompany your relatives, you will see the sky go away." Go to the palace, you don’t have any place for us in your heart, it’s all taken by the one in the palace.”

Ye Chongjin quickly admitted his mistake. The old man made up his mind to show him off, but he didn't respond.

Seeing that the soup and medicine were delivered, Ye Chongjin's eyes flashed, then he frowned, put his fist to his lips, and coughed uncomfortably.

The old man was most afraid that he was not in good health. Seeing this situation, he couldn't care whether it was true or false, so he hurriedly asked for the soup to be brought up and fed it to his grandson himself.

Ye Chongjin took his hand and swallowed the bitterness.

An Shi said from the side: "When I was young, Ah Jin refused to drink medicine every time, but as soon as my grandfather fed him, he would obediently drink it."

These words were poking at the old man's heart, his eyes showed kindness, and he had long forgotten the matter of being angry before.

======

Funing Courtyard.

Because the old man made a fuss that day, Ye Chongjin didn't dare to go out for several days, and often went to the old man's yard for a walk. The old man was very happy, but the one in the palace had to endure the pain of lovesickness.

Ye Chongjin was sitting in the gazebo, with bamboo leaves floating around, holding white in his left hand and black in his right, playing chess against himself.

A man in a green shirt slowly stepped into the bamboo forest and called out, "Master, Mr. Shen will bring you here."

Ye Chongjin only nodded slightly.

Shen Ming stepped forward and bowed, "Second Young Master."

Ye Chongjin looked at him and said, "Mr. Shen, please sit down, the injury will improve."

Shen Ming sat on the stone bench at the side according to his words, and said cautiously: "Shen's injury is no longer serious, but he is used to using his right arm, but now he is not used to using his left arm. With time, he can always get used to it."

Ye Chongjin didn't say a word, just dropped a child lightly.

Shen Ming glanced at the delicate chess game, then lowered his eyes to hide the surprise in them.

"Song Yi, watch tea."

The man in green shirt responded, took off the purple sand pot from the stove, poured a cup of hot tea, and brought it to Shen Ming himself.

Shen Ming quickly took the cup and thanked him.

In the bamboo grove there was only the rustling of leaves, the man in green shirt stood aside without saying a word, one played chess with himself, and the other drank tea with his head bowed.

After an unknown amount of time, a group of domestic servants passed by on the side path, carefully carrying a red-painted wooden box into the yard.

When Shen Ming saw the box, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Ye Chongjin also glanced at it, and said lightly: "It's not an antique left by my grandfather, why bring it into my yard."

Song Yi replied: "The master is going to enter the palace in a few days, and the madam will be carried into the master's private treasury as a dowry."

"..."

Ye Chongjin frowned after being stabbed by the word dowry.

He raised his hand to disrupt the chess game at the table, and said: "Boring, Mr. Shen, today's tea is here, I will not accompany you."

After speaking, he lifted his feet and walked out, Song Yi hurriedly lowered his head to follow.

Shen Ming got up, bent down and watched the two of them leave.

After leaving the bamboo grove, Ye Chongjin raised his hand to pick up a fallen leaf from Yixiu Mountain, and said, "Well, there are signs of him being disguised."

Song Yi said: "I can't see it."

Ye Chongjin wondered: "Even you can't tell, so could it be that his disguise is better than yours?"

Song Yi said: "Master, although the slave's disguise technique is exquisite, his eyesight may not be up to par, just like he may not be able to see the slave's disguise."

Ye Chongjin nodded.

The person sent by elder brother to investigate Shen Ming did not reply for a long time, if it wasn't because the journey was too long and was delayed, then someone had already killed him.

Is it because I am worrying too much, or this person is really a master of hiding.

======

Anfu.

When Chen Zizhao received the secret letter, there was a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

The book boy asked: "Young master, since you have found that thing, do you want to act tonight?"

Chen Zizhao shook his head, put the secret letter on the candle, and that page of the letter quickly burned to ashes.

"Ye Chongjin, the second son of the Ye family, the first empress of Daegu, his courtyard is more difficult to break into than the imperial palace, not to mention that this person is extremely treacherous, maybe there is fraud in it."

"If something like that is allowed to enter the palace, wouldn't the young master's situation be even more dangerous."

Chen Zizhao pondered for a moment, and said: "Of course it can't be allowed to enter the palace, and the Ye Mansion can't break into it. The only chance is on the day of the wedding, and snatch it from the ceremonial car that enters the palace."

"But the emperor's big wedding will inevitably lead to martial law in the whole city, and it is even more difficult to start..."

"You forgot that now the Marquis of Zhenyuan is looking for people everywhere. If something happens and the people in the city riot, it will not be easy for you to take advantage of the chaos and snatch a box of betrothal gifts."

The book boy suddenly said: "The young master is wise."

Chen Zizhao picked up the wick and said, "Let Hanyan help you, he is in Ye Mansion after all."

"My subordinate understands."

Lu Ziyan leaned against the wall, and only vaguely heard the general idea, as if he wanted to steal something from Ah Jin's wedding, but even if he knew, he couldn't do anything.

Usually only Chen Zizhao and the bookboy come in and out here, and the mechanism is opened from the outside, and to get out from the inside, you must have a key.

Trapped here all the time, he was anxious, he had already smashed several rare items, such as colorful glazed cups, Nanhai night pearls, all priceless treasures, the man who claimed to be his brother just smiled and didn't take it to heart.

It was the first time he met such a reckless person.

Since the hard ones are not enough, I have to come to the soft ones.

During dinner, he said to Chen Zizhao, "Tell me about your parents."

Chen Zizhao was stunned for a moment, with a trace of surprise in his eyes, he replied, "Okay."

"Father's single name is Shu, but you also know that our surname Chen is absolutely unacceptable, so he has always used his mother's surname, the pseudonym Murong Shu. When he met his mother, he used this name. .My father is different from me. He is a good man and always treats people kindly."

Lu Ziyan poured him a glass of wine and said, "How did he and mother meet?"

Chen Zizhao took the glass of wine, took a sip, and said, "Father has been in poor health. He also knows that he will live soon and has never thought of returning to the country, but since the day when the Jin Dynasty fell, he has been hunted down by people. Shi Shi was seriously ill, so Yao Yidao brought him to the capital for medical treatment, and then met his mother. Mother is the adopted daughter of the Lu family and the daughter of the Hou family. She has never suffered much. The biggest disaster in her life is met dad."

Having said that, he drank several more glasses by himself.

"Some people's fate is like this. If she hadn't met her father, she would have lived a stable life in the capital. If her father hadn't met her, she would have been able to calmly face life and death instead of dying with regret."

But they happened to meet.

Chen Zizhao was obviously a little drunk, with a trace of pain showing on his calm face, he said quietly: "My parents named me Zhao, Zhao, which means light, my parents have been looking forward to it, we don't have to live in hiding Zang, living in the dark, but later, I named you Yan, I only hope that you can live and continue their lives."

Lu Ziyan frowned slightly, not knowing what it was like, and unconsciously drank a glass of peaches and plums to get drunk.

When he was in the womb, he had been in a state of light sleep. He only vaguely remembered that the woman who gave birth to him was very gentle and often whispered to him. When he regained consciousness, she had already been buried.

Then, uncle came to pick him up.

A man with a scar on his face and an ugly voice carefully placed him in Lu Lin's arms, and said, "Madam named this child Ziyan."

His father never showed up, so he always thought that when that man abandoned his wife and son, he just thought he didn't have a father.

But it turned out that there was too much helplessness mixed in.

He persuaded: "Since father and mother hope that you and I can be safe, we are all living a good life now, and they can rest in peace. Why commit this great crime of killing the nine clans? You and I can't run away together, and when we get to the ground, how will you explain to your parents?"

Chen Zizhao was already drunk, he just said in a daze, "I can die, but Ziyan can't."

Lu Ziyan pushed him, and the man was leaning on the wheelchair, already very drunk.

Lu Ziyan sighed, helped him onto the bed, and covered him with a brocade quilt.

He took out the key from Chen Zizhao, and said, "Don't worry, I will come back. If you don't give up revenge, I won't leave. It depends on who spends more."

After saying that, he opened the door of the dark room with the key, walked up the stone steps, and happened to meet the book boy who brought the wine.

The book boy glanced at him, took the initiative to open the stone door for him, bowed his head and said: "Young Master Yan, outside the door is our young master's study, when you go out, avoid your eyes and ears, don't be caught as a thief."

Lu Ziyan responded and ran out quickly.

The book boy chuckled and entered the underground palace, and it turned out that Chen Zizhao was awake.

"Young Master, do you just let Young Master Yan go like this?"

"He'll be back."

The book boy said again: "If he reveals what happened here to Lu Lin..."

Chen Zizhao rubbed his forehead, and said: "He won't, and this underground palace has already been discovered, and it will be sooner or later to find the entrance. Let the people below prepare in advance and leave the capital in the near future."

"Yes."

======

The wedding was approaching, and the palace brought the empress's phoenix robe. Ye Chongjin had seen it before, and he didn't find it novel, but An's and the maids in the room all stared.

Because it is a man, it is slightly different from the general phoenix crown and Xiapei. The embroidered gold phoenix pattern on the big red costume is like a fire phoenix soaring for nine days. Jade white warm jade, showing luxury everywhere.

An Shi came back to her senses, stroked the vivid phoenix pattern, and said: "It can be seen that I have put my heart into it."

The maids said repeatedly: "There is no more magnificent and noble phoenix robe."

Ye Chongjin held his chin and smiled. Gu Chen ordered people to make many pieces of such a magnificent phoenix robe. He wore this one when he entered the palace, and when he turned around, he was canonized and sacrificed. Each piece was different, and the rest were placed in Zichen Palace. If you want to change it later, that person will naturally have to do it himself.

While he was talking, Song Yi suddenly walked up to him and said in a low voice: "Master, Mr. Lu is here. He is in your bedroom. He seems to have come secretly."

Ye Chongjin was startled, and asked, "You mean Mr. Lu from Zhenyuanhou's Mansion?"

Before Song Yi could answer, he had already walked out quickly.

After returning to Funing Courtyard, he pushed open the door of his room, and saw Lu Ziyan with an anxious expression on his face. He looked good, so it could be seen that he had never been treated badly.

"Ziyan, you have been missing for almost a month, your uncle..."

"Ajin, listen to me first, my uncle is looking for me everywhere now, but I can't see him now, otherwise he won't let me go."

Ye Chongjin frowned and said, "You want to leave? Where are you going?"

Lu Ziyan said: "I can't say, but there is no danger... Actually, I found my own brother. He is doing a dangerous thing. I can't let him go. I want to save him, otherwise I will have a conscience in this life." disturbed."

Ye Chongjin looked at him and asked back, "How are you going to save him? If you can't save him, you will be implicated too."

"No, he is actually a very gentle person, but he has suffered too much harm and injustice, and I can always find a way to soften his heart."

He sighed softly, and said again: "Also, I accidentally learned something. Your dowry seems to have hidden very important things. There will be some accidents on the wedding day, so be careful."

Dowry again...

Ye Chongjin was stabbed, and then paused. The last time Song Yi mentioned "dowry", it was the servants who were carrying the relics left by his grandfather - the red shirt wooden box.At that time, Shen Ming was also there.

Could it be that there is really something hidden in there.
