Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

Seeing the end of the year, the old man Ye would go back to his hometown in Jinzhou to worship his ancestors in previous years, but this year he accidentally caught a cold and drank the soup for a few days, but he didn't get better. Moreover, the road was bumpy, how could the old man bear it, Ye Yanbai finally persuaded him to give up his thoughts.

Originally, Prime Minister Ye should have gone through this for his father, but now that he is in an important position, Emperor Qingzong has to rely on him for everything, so he couldn't get away, so he had to write a letter and send it back to Jinzhou to give to several uncles The cousin confessed his crime, and in the future he must bring his family back to his hometown to make amends to his ancestors.

This matter will come to an end for now.

In Shoukang Garden, An Shi wore a blue-purple water-patterned apron, and personally cooked soup for the old man in the small kitchen. This recipe was asked for by the imperial physician in the palace, and some herbs were added to treat the wind and cold.

Seeing that there was no one around, Sister An leaned close to her and asked in a low voice, "Madam, do you still remember the old lady's entrustment?"

An Shiliu frowned slightly, and sighed softly: "Mother wants to see Hui'er and Ah Jin, and wants to reunite with the family, why don't I want to, but my father-in-law's condition is erratic, and the master is busy with work, how can I dare to mention it, if the old man is angry Either way, the master is afraid that he will divorce his wife."

Nanny An knew that she had always been a soft-tempered person with soft ears, she only needed a few coaxing words to subdue her. Fortunately, the prime minister did not take concubines, otherwise, with her temper, she might be tortured to death in the back house.

"Madam, I have served you by your side for more than [-] years. Now I have something in my heart. Although I know that speaking out will offend Madam, I have to say..."

Knowing that she was only for her own good, An's hurriedly took Nanny An's hand, and said kindly: "Mammy just said that Qirong was raised by you personally, and Nanny treats Qirong like her own mother. Now Ah Jin Also entrust it to the care of the nanny, between you and me, why bother to say such outrageous things."

Speaking of the baby bump, Madam An showed a smile on her face, and said: "Madam trusts the old slave, and the old slave will rely on the old slave to sell the old one. If there are any inappropriate words, I hope Madam will forgive me. Think back to the first few years when I entered the house Madam is not liked by the old man, even the morning and evening appointments are exempted, and Madam is not even allowed to set foot in Kangshouyuan, Madam, do you still remember this matter?"

Thinking about the past grievances, An Shi twisted the handkerchief in his hand and nodded slightly.

Mother An said again: "Later, Madam suffered a great crime when she gave birth to Young Master Jin. Fortunately, the mother and child were safe. The old man also knew that it is not easy for a woman to have children. Since then, she has treated Madam a lot more kindly. Madam may not have noticed it, but think about it carefully. , now you are making soup in the small kitchen of Kangshouyuan, did you have the opportunity to touch the food of the old man in the past?"

Seeing that An's face was stunned, she went on to say: "My Madam has been married into the Ye Mansion for nearly ten years. She has always been virtuous and filial. It’s all about shame. Ma’am, you are filial to the Prime Minister, so you don’t dare to mention An’s family in Yefu. After a few years, Young Master Jin will grow up, and you don’t even know what your grandfather and grandmother look like. How can you get close? , the old lady is looking forward to her daughter and grandson every day, how can you do this to her?"

An Shi said with shame: "Mama's words are right. When I was still in the boudoir, my parents treated me like a jewel in the palm of their hands. The cost of food and clothing was comparable to that of princes and noble daughters. Now I am married as a woman, in order to please my father-in-law. I have to be alienated from my mother's family, so I feel uncomfortable, but it's really difficult for the master..."

"Madam, the master is the most filial person, so naturally the old man is the first in everything, but if the old slave remembers correctly, it was the master who tried every means to marry his wife back then. If that is the case, why should the lady wrong herself so much? It's okay to be a bit more delicate now and then. Yes, if you don't fight for it, but just give in, the Ye family and the An family can only be feuds, how can you turn a fight into a friendship."

Although An's temperament is soft, she is also a woman who has read a lot of poetry and books. After thinking about it for a while, she had a score in her heart, and said: "What the mother said awakened Qirong. Hui'er and Ah Jin went back to An Mansion and told him to spend the New Year alone."

Nanny An smiled and nodded.

========

In the bedroom, the old man just took the medicine and was resting on the couch.After all, he was getting old, the disease actually seemed to be more than ten years old, and the whole person looked haggard and weak.

The wooden door carved with vermilion lacquer creaked, and a little doll carved with pink jade poked its head out, making sure that there was no one in the room, and then walked into the room lightly, with arms like lotus roots propped on the bed, resting its chin on both hands, in a daze Looking at the sleeping old man.

He was not familiar with the Ye family in his previous life, so he doesn't know what year Old Master Ye passed away, it probably happened a few years before Gu Chen ascended the throne, and it is only a few years left after calculation.The old man's body has always been strong, this time the wind and cold may have planted the root of the disease, so it will be worse every day.

Guanshi Liu walked into the room, saw the child lying on the bed at a glance, hurriedly carried the little doll to the outside, and said in a low voice: "Young master, this is not a place to play around. Rest, you will disturb the rest of the old man here, it would be nice for the old slave to accompany you to the side hall to play hide-and-seek."

The old man didn't allow his grandchildren to approach his sick bed, he was worried that he might get sick, especially Ye Chongjin himself was not well, so naturally he had to be more cautious.

Ye Chongjin looked at him with a frown and said, "Let me go, I won't make a fuss, besides, my grandfather is sick, so Ah Jin is not in the mood to play hide-and-seek. I want to stay here with my grandfather. If Guanshi Liu really wants to play, he can find someone else to play with." go."

Liu Guanshi's forehead twitched, but he could only smile apologetically, and said, "Young master, don't be self-willed, the smell of medicine in this room is heavy, and the young master is dizzy after staying for a long time. If the old master knows, he will feel distressed. When the old master recovers, you can stay as long as you want, young master." OK, how about it?"

Ye Chongjin thought for a while, took off the light purple sachet on his waist, handed it to Guanshi Liu, and said, "Hang this on the bedside of grandfather."

Guanshi Liu hurriedly took it carefully, and when he saw the "brocade" embroidered on the back of the sachet, he knew that the child wanted to use the sachet instead of himself to accompany the old man, his heart softened, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Young master has a heart."

Ye Chongjin thought, the medicinal fragrance in this sachet has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, and hanging it by the bed just dispels the smell of soup and medicine in the room, so he went out lightly.

Guanshi Liu watched the child disappear, and then went into the room to hang the sachet, but saw that the old man had already opened his eyes.

"Did the old slave wake you up?"

The old man waved his hand and said, "I'm getting old, I can't sleep soundly at all, and I can wake me up at the slightest disturbance, so I don't blame you." He caught a glimpse of the sachet in Liu Guanshi's hand and recognized it as Ye Chongjin often hung it around his waist That one, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Ah Jin has been here, I don't know whose temperament that child is following. He is said to be well-behaved, but he also likes to play around, said he is headstrong, but he has grown a delicate and exquisite child." darling."

Liu Guanshi tied the sachet in front of the bed, bowed and said with a smile: "The old servant has heard that a child is a blank sheet of paper when it is born, and what is drawn on the sheet depends on the person who raised it. Being so smart and sensible is due to the good manners of the Ye family, and the good education of the old man and his wife."

The old man sighed, "I hope he is like that kid from the Lu family. He is greedy for food and fun, and has a natural nature. It is better than a young age who is thoughtful. There is a limit to everything, and the same is true for people. It's not good..." The so-called Huiji will be hurt is not without reason.

Liu Guanshi lowered his head and listened carefully. After a long while, he said: "Although the old slave doesn't understand the reasoning, he also knows whether it is very good or not. The young master is only over three years old, but he has already suffered a lot. He is now in good health. Peace, it can be seen that if you have withstood the test of God, you will only enjoy inexhaustible blessings in the future, and there is no reason to suffer, the old man should relax."

The old man was slightly taken aback. Ever since he knew that his grandson had not been born yet, he was plotted by his parents who were unclear and almost died in his womb. He has always felt guilty and worried all the time, fearing that this child will be taken back by God again.

But now, listening to Guanshi Liu's explanation, he thought about it again, his grandson has suffered a lot since he was a child, and he has suffered a lot since he was a child. Could it be that his talent was bought at the price of this?Now that he has suffered enough, all that is left is happiness.

The old man's ashen complexion gradually receded, his eyes lit up again, he said: "Old Liu, you old fellow..." But he laughed out loud.

Guanshi Liu also laughed, knowing that the old man's heart settlement has been resolved, and it will be a matter of time before he recovers.

========

The end of the year is the busiest few days. The prime minister has to look over all the planning documents sent by the six departments. Ye Yanbai is so busy that he hardly touches the ground. Two sips of hot tea.

Until it was dark, when he returned to the house after work, An Shi had someone heat up the food and bring it to the bedroom, and serve him personally.

The candle flickered slightly, a few cups of fine wine fell into his throat, and the gentle smile of the woman beside him became more and more charming, Ye Yanbai's heart warmed up, and he said: "Ma'am, look at the two brothers, Ajin and Hui'er, do they get along very well. "

Anshi nodded in agreement.

Ye Yanbai took her hand and said, "It would be better to add another younger sister to them."

An's cheeks turned red, then she frowned, and said softly: "It's enough for me to have Hui'er and Ah Jin. If the master wants a daughter, he will give birth to him."

"really?"

Prime Minister Ye was in the year of the tiger and wolf, and couldn't bear to be teased, so he picked up his beloved wife in a blink of an eye, and went to the bed.But Anshi held her chest and said: "Master, I have something to ask, can you agree?"

On weekdays, he would naturally want to ask what's the matter, but now that he has had three or two glasses of wine and is so beautiful, he doesn't bother to ask more questions, and just said impatiently: "Yes, yes, everything is answered for you."

========

The couple over there are full of affection, while Ye Chongjin and Ye Chonghui here are staring at each other.

"Brother, what are you doing in my room if you don't sleep in the middle of the night." A certain doll asked.

Ye Chonghui showed embarrassment, covered his face and said, "Ah Jin, if I tell you, don't laugh at brother. In fact, I accidentally flipped through a story book today. What kind of weirdness and strangeness, now when I close my eyes, I see it in front of my eyes." Horrible picture, so..."

"So you're too scared to sleep?"

Being exposed mercilessly by his younger brother, Ye Chonghui nodded without being pretentious.

Ye Chongjin chuckled and said, "Your brother is really useless."

"So Ah Jin is not afraid of ghosts?" Ye Chonghui climbed onto the bed, squeezed into his younger brother's bed, next to the fragrant and soft little doll, and said with satisfaction, "But my story is really very interesting." It's scary, Ah Jin wants to hear it."

Ye Chongjin turned to look at him in surprise, why did he feel that Ye Chonghui didn't come here because he was afraid, but to tell ghost stories to scare him.
