Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

Lu Ziyan must go back, Ye Chongjin had no choice but to send Song Yi to follow him secretly.

Ye Chongjin had always been very thoughtful, and this time was no exception. He didn't believe that Lu Ziyan could escape from An Qiming. Since he came out, it must be that An Qiming let him go on purpose.

That man insisted that Ziyan couldn't bear to abandon him.

Ye Chongjin gritted his teeth in hatred.

But those two are blood relatives, it is really difficult for him to intervene.

He told Song Yi: "Don't be spotted by those people, and you don't have to follow in to find the entrance of the secret room. If my guess is right, they should leave the capital in a few days and give up that mouse hole."

"How did the master know about it?"

Ye Chongjin snorted and said, "Since they dared to disturb the emperor's wedding ceremony, they naturally put all their eggs in one basket and let Lu Ziyan out for a while. It can be seen that they want the golden cicada to escape its shell."

Song Yi was convinced, and said: "Master is wise."

Ye Chongjin said: "You lurk around An's house, especially An Qiming's courtyard. If there is any movement there, report back immediately. No matter what, An Qiming must not be allowed to leave the capital."

"My subordinate understands."

When he left, Ye Chongjin immediately called out: "Call Ye San to see me."

Ye San was the bodyguard bestowed upon Ye Yanbai by the former emperor back then, and he only listened to the orders of the prime minister, but Ye Chongjin summoned him, so he dared not refuse to come.

"What's your order, Second Young Master?"

Ye Chongjin said: "All the antique calligraphy and paintings left by my grandfather have been moved to Funing Yuan, and none of them must be left behind."

Ye Sandao: "Madam has the key to the warehouse."

Ye Chongjin rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "Tell my mother that I want to bring some favorites to the palace, and ask her if she agrees or not."

The corner of Ye San's mouth twitched, no one knows that Madam dotes on the Second Young Master, there is no reason why she should not agree.He promised and went to work.

Ye Chongjin deliberately made the matter a big deal, which alarmed the entire Xiangfu.

west yard.

Shen Ming clenched his only remaining left hand tightly. Such things were related to the great plan of restoring the country, and no loss was allowed. Even if it cost his life, he would still get it.

At night, the four mahogany boxes were gathered together.

Ye Chongjin ordered people to display the objects inside one by one, and called Mo Huaixuan and Gu You together.

The husband and wife were just newlyweds, and when the honey was mixed, he called someone to do something. Mo Huaixuan was unwilling at first, but You'er was very happy when he heard that Ah Jin asked him to help. It was coming at once, and he had no choice but to follow.

Taking advantage of Gu You's inattention, Mo Huaixuan asked in a low voice: "Second Young Master Ye, haven't you played enough tricks like this?"

Ye Chongjin said: "Don't be impatient, Mr. Mo. This time, it's not to tease you, but something important. Among these things, there is one thing that was taken away by the former regime's rebellious party even if its deeds were exposed."

Mo Huaixuan's expression froze.

"There is such a thing."

Ye Chongjin nodded. He casually picked up an emerald jade plate, looked at it twice, and put it back again, saying: "When I look at antiques, I can only tell whether they are worth money, but the secret door inside is not good at it. And the time It's urgent, the wedding is only two days away, so I have to ask Mr. Mo to hold me."

Mo Huaixuan said: "When it comes to secret doors, there are two people in the world who are the best at it, and Mo Mou can only be ranked third."

Ye Chongjin raised his eyebrows.

Mo Huaixuan smiled and said: "First, it is your master Ye Ergongzi, the abbot of Jinguang Temple, Master Kongchen, whose organ attainments are rare in the world. It is rumored that there are organs all over the mountain behind Jinguang Temple, and no one can understand it."

Ye Chongjin said: "I don't know where my master is now, and I can't count on him. I don't know who is the second one."

Mo Huaixuan said: "Secondly, it is none other than your elder brother, Ye Hengzhi. At the age of 13, Mr. Hengzhi was trapped in the peach blossom forest in Jinguang Temple. Ordinary people may not be able to get out after walking for a day and a night. , but Mr. Heng, it only takes a stick of incense to burn."

Ye Chongjin had also heard about this incident, but when he asked his brother, he only said that he was lucky.

The Ye family has studied Confucius and Mencius knowledge for generations, and has never been infected with heresy. Although Ye Chongjin is an outlier, the family has some criticisms about him, but he is in poor health, and the whole family protects him, and no one can do anything to him.But his elder brother is different. Ye Chonghui is the eldest son and grandson, and he will inherit the family business of his ancestors in the future, so he cannot tolerate a wrong step.

He shook his head and said, "Lord Mo, my brother... is just lucky, and rumors cannot be taken as true."

Mo Huaixuan smiled lightly, without revealing it, and said, "Since that's the case, Mo Mou had to try his best."

"Grateful."

=======

The batch of things left by Mr. An are all really valuable items. The recent ones have calligraphy and paintings by famous artists from the previous dynasty, and the older antiques can have a history of thousands of years.

Each piece seems to have a mystery, but after careful inspection, nothing unusual can be found.

Mo Huaixuan was also helpless.

He said: "Since there must be something they want in here, they might as well bring it all into the palace."

Ye Chongjin shook his head and said: "The day after tomorrow is the big wedding. Those people don't know where to ambush and keep an eye on this batch of things. The guards on the day of the big wedding are heavily guarded. If they dare to act, if they transport them privately, there will be more accidents. Right in their arms."

Mo Huaixuan's face also showed a bit of gloom.

"Now the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light. If you want to catch those people, you have to wait for them to show up."

Ye Chongjin said quietly: "It's not impossible to let them show up..."

The night was getting dark, Gu You was already sleeping soundly, snoring lightly on the couch beside her.

Mo Huaixuan bent down to pick him up, carried him carefully, and said in a low voice: "Just follow the method of Second Young Master Ye."

He paused, and said: "By the way, there is one very interesting thing. The second son of Ye wanted to be a little interested. On the day the white tiger of the young master went crazy and bit someone on the street, my people lost a person nearby. It was that The oiran of the Silent Tower, Mr. Hanyan."

Ye Chongjin narrowed his eyes.

Mo Huaixuan laughed and said: "According to what they said, that man disappeared out of thin air like a ghost."

Ye Chongjin chuckled and asked, "Did Master Mo believe it?"

"Mo Mou thinks that even ghosts have to be attached to people to act."

Ye Chongjin said: "Exactly, whether it's a human or a ghost, you can always find whereabouts."

The two were silent.

======

Early the next morning, Ye Chongjin was woken up from the bed by An Shi, because it was a man getting married, many rules were kept simple, except for the matter of leaving the genealogy, which could not be sloppy.

Ye Chongjin put on a moon-white brocade shirt, with a piece of warm jade hanging around his waist, and snow-white embroidered golden dragon boots on his feet. Surrounded by a group of servants, Ye Chongjin stepped into the ancestral hall with grace and grace.

Mrs. An stopped in front of the ancestral hall. Women were not allowed in, so she only held her son's hand, and said in a gentle voice: "Ah Jin, you are the child of your father and mother, and you will always be a close relative of flesh and blood. How can you be a piece of paper?" It can be cut off."

Ye Chongjin nodded naturally.Once entering the ancestral hall, an old man with white beard and hair sat on the top, the one on the left was Mrs. Ye, and the other was the elder of the current Jinzhou main family, who was in charge of all affairs in the clan.

For today, many elders of the Ye clan came here from Jinzhou.

When these people saw Ye Chongjin, they all looked unkind. It was the ancestor's precept that the Ye family would not be official or participate in power struggles.

If it was another lineage, it would have been kicked out long ago, but this one is a direct lineage, and when he became an official, he had a lot of involuntary things, and Mr. Ye has a great reputation. He is a saint in the eyes of literati and students, the top of the Ye family Liang Dazhu, so he tolerated it until now.

But now the descendants of Ye's direct line are ordered to marry into the royal family. Although he is a man, he is destined not to leave the Ye family's flesh and blood, but to the clan, it is already a great disobedience.

What's more, in the body of a man, when married as a wife, it is natural to have her husband's surname in front of her name. The century-old Ye family, a Qingliu family, can't afford to lose this person.

Therefore, today, leaving the genealogy, Ye Chongjin has since expelled the Ye family, and is no longer the Ye family.

At the beginning, the whole family was unwilling to agree to this marriage, not only because they were afraid that he would be wronged by entering the palace, but also because of this. Those old and stubborn members of the family had always disliked him walking around and teasing birds, learning from those heresy and corrupting the style of the family. Will not let go.

This was his own choice, Ye Chongjin didn't regret it, and didn't want to embarrass his grandfather and father.

He knelt in front of the ancestral hall, closed his eyes, and listened to the chief elder recite the lengthy family rules, counting how many family rules he had broken since he was born. family.

Ye Chongjin lowered his eyes, took the pen, and was about to write his name on the cutting book, but someone suddenly grabbed his hand.

Everyone on the field turned pale, Old Man Ye turned his eyes away and didn't look at it at all, Ye Yanbai didn't say a word, allowing the eldest son to mess around on this occasion, the elders of the Ye family dared not speak out, one by one He blew his beard and stared, but no one dared to question him.

Ye Chongjin smiled and said: "Brother, this is not a place for nonsense. Later, father will punish you to kneel in the ancestral hall again."

Ye Chonghui said: "There is only one thing that is right in this cut-off book."

Ye Chongjin asked, "What matter?"

"Ajin, you... are really daring. There is no one in this world who is more daring than you."

Ye Chongjin just smiled and didn't answer. Ye Chonghui held his hand and said in a low voice: "Ajin, brother asked you one last time, you regret it."

Ye Chongjin replied softly but firmly: "I don't regret it."

It's not the Ye family, he's still grandpa's grandson, brother's younger brother, and parents' sweetheart.

But if he can't be Gu Chen's wife, even if that person is wronged, he will just bury it in his heart, and then he will be hurt by himself, sad by himself, and crazy by himself.

After two lifetimes, he only wanted to fulfill that person's affection once.
