Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

After the banquet, Ye Yanbai was dragged by a group of people to the side hall to appreciate his poems. It was rare for him to show his face outside. Not to mention these juniors, even his colleagues who were officials in the same dynasty felt strange, and they all squeezed their heads to show in front of him. Face, promotion in the coming year, just in case there is a chance.

In desperation, the prime minister had no choice but to entrust his son to the crown prince, and urged him to send his baby back to the prime minister's mansion safely.

Gu Chen couldn't get what he wanted, and said with a smile, "Ye Xiang, please go."

Ye Yanbai glared at the tiger eyes angrily, but right now he has something to ask for, so he had no choice but to hold his breath and said, "Don't linger outside, there are children lost in Beijing recently, I'm afraid they are traffickers, my family, Ajin, is doing well again , if you are targeted..." Before he finished speaking, he was dragged away by Prince Sheng and several important court officials.

The little doll nestled in the large yellow rosewood chair, stroked her chubby belly, belched softly, and her eyelids drooped.

He tends to get sleepy when he's full, and at this time in the past, he should have already rested.

Gu Chen took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the corners of the child's oily lips, and asked, "Ah Jin, is there anywhere you want to go? Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and there are many lively gatherings, lantern festivals, cruise ships, and Lion dance and dragon dance, Ah Jin was raised in the yard as a child, and I have never seen it before, so why not take this opportunity to have a look."

Ye Chongjin was a little moved, let alone this life, even in his previous life, he lived for almost 30 years and never saw a lively rally, so he naturally thought about it, but being with Gu Chen...is not right.

The child said crisply and authentically: "Just now Daddy said, don't stay outside."

Gu Chen was amused by his serious appearance, squeezed the soft little paws, and said, "Isn't Ah Jin afraid of human traffickers? If someone really dares to steal Gu's Ah Jin, Gu will go to heaven and earth, and also want to When the man was found, his body was torn to pieces."

When he said this, there was a smile on his lips, but there was a cruelty in his eyes, which was the insensitivity that had just been precipitated after countless killings.

Ye Chongjin lowered his eyelashes to hide the thoughts in his eyes. Those so-called loyal ministers and good generals in his previous life regarded him as a cancer in the country, and wished they could get rid of him quickly. ——Totally collapsed.

Who knows how much conscience a beast that has lost its shackles has.

Seeing the child drooping his eyes and saying nothing, Gu Chen immediately returned to his harmless appearance, and said with a smile, "If Ah Jin really doesn't want to go, Gu will send you back to the prime minister's mansion. There will be a long time to come, and there will always be a chance to see it in the future."

Ye Chongjin nodded.

Gu Chen smiled more and more gently, leaned over to pick up the little milk baby, and strode out.In fact, he was not interested in the lively gathering, he just wanted to take the opportunity to stay with Ah Jin for a while, after all, when he returned to the prime minister's mansion, Ye Hengzhi, who was in the way, would definitely do something bad for him again.

Gu Chen said: "Why didn't your brother come tonight, he is assured that Ah Jin will come to see Gu?"

Ye Chongjin blinked and said, "Brother originally wanted to come, but father didn't allow it."

Gu Chen understood that there were so many people tonight, Ye Chonghui was still a child after all, and Ye Yanbai must have no skills to take care of two children by himself, so he left the eldest son at home.

"In that case, Gu would also like to thank Ye Xiang."

Ye Chongjin couldn't help but bent his lips, and said, "Is His Royal Highness afraid of my brother?"

Gu Chen lowered his head, just seeing the child's ecstasy, his heart softened, and he responded, "Yes, Gu is very afraid of the eldest son of the Ye family." In the future, the uncle will not be able to beat or kill, so it will be difficult.

Out of Prince Sheng's Mansion, the silvery moonlight sprinkled on the child Yuxue's flawless face, the round cheeks were light pink, the little doll closed her eyes, her long and dense eyelashes trembled slightly, her lips were slightly parted, and there was a slight smirk. Snoring, actually fell asleep.

Gu Chen whispered to the coachman: "Go to Xiangfu." After a pause, he added: "Slow down."

The wheels crushed the moonlight, and slowly walked towards Xiang's mansion, Gu Chen held the child in his arms, listening to his purring like a kitten, only wishing that this road would never end.

In the dream, Ye Chongjin was hugging a coquettish kitten, which was a pet he raised in his previous life, and behind him, Gu Chen was hugging him, which was a peace of mind that even he himself hadn't noticed.

========

Three years later.

On the official road outside the capital, several simple carriages passed slowly.In the carriage at the front sat a father and son, both of whom were elegantly dressed, wearing blue gowns, holding books in their hands, reading slowly.

The young man looked about ten years old, opened the curtain of the car, looked out, turned his head and said loudly: "Father, do you think the prime minister's uncle will despise us? He hasn't seen us for many years. Maybe he doesn't want to recognize our family." Poor relatives."

The man next to him stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, your uncle, the prime minister, grew up with your father and learned to read and write together, but later he left his official career. Jinzhou is just a teacher. I wrote a letter to him earlier, saying that I would bring you here, and he wrote back quickly, saying that everything is ready, just waiting for us to arrive.”

The boy looked expectant, and said: "Father, what do you think the capital is like, is it better than Jinzhou?"

The man thought for a while, and said: "I came here when I was young, and I still remember the bustling scene. Jinzhou is incomparable. But this trip is to find a marriage for your sister, so don't be greedy for the luxury here. We Ye Children and grandchildren, there are not many other things, only the highest ambition."

The young man snorted and said, "Father, my son doesn't agree with what you said, and ambition can't be eaten. Look at my uncle's family, they are still direct descendants. They don't live a simple life. Fly all over the world."

"That's because of some accidents back then, the old man owed the royal family favors, so he had no choice but to enter the official career..."

"Father, I think you are stupid in reading. There is no emperor in this world who asks people to be officials, and whoever asks is not sure."

The man knocked on the boy's head with the scroll, and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You are young, and there are many things that you don't understand."

After finishing speaking, he continued to bury his head in reading.

In the next carriage, a woman raised her eyebrows and said, "The capital city is no better than Jinzhou. With the Ye family's reputation, you are free to mess around. This place is full of dignitaries. If you cause trouble, it will affect the whole family." Human, you can understand."

Ye Ruoyao bit her lip and said, "Mother, you and father are trying to drive our daughter to a dead end."

Ye Wang said: "We are doing it for your own good, and we don't want you to abuse yourself. As a daughter of the Ye family, how can you be a concubine for others, not to mention that Zhen Xu is good for nothing other than making money. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants since ancient times The most humble, if you really marry, our family will no longer be able to hold its head up in the family. If you let your own way, just for the sake of pleasure for a while, you will regret it when you get older."

"mother!"

"Don't talk too much, you are about to enter the capital, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't embarrass the family."

========

Prime Minister.Several teenagers in brocade clothes came in hand in hand, all of them were in their teens, only one of them was the youngest.

Ye Chonghui was wearing a moon-white brocade shirt, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were clear and cold, and he said calmly: "My father is not here today, I am afraid that the senior brothers will be disappointed."

"Hey, brother Ye said this, but I'm out of touch. I've been with my classmates for several years, and I'm leaving the academy this autumn to take the imperial examination. If I fail, I'm afraid I won't be able to see each other in the future. Thinking about these years, I never came Wouldn't it be a pity to walk through Brother Ye's house once?"

It was Luo Yan, the son of Shangshu, who said this.

Everyone else echoed again and again, saying: "Exactly."

Ye Chonghui didn't show any expression, just snorted coldly.According to what they said, the brothers in the academy should visit each family.What's more, the students who came out of Tai'an Academy were all from famous families and extremely talented. There is no such thing as a failure, and they will only be bored in the court in the future.

He led people inside, and said: "My Ye family is poor, and I don't have any good tea to entertain, as long as the senior brothers don't dislike it."

Luo Yan said with a smile: "It is enough to have a sip of tea. Ye Xiang is a clean and honest official. I will find out later."

Pass through the front hall, walk all the way to Ye Chonghui's yard, and pass by the lotus pond. It is early summer, and the pond is covered with green leaves, and there are pale pink water lilies with flower buds. It is elegant and pleasant, and a boat with a leaf Float slowly along the current.

Nahan, who has good eyesight, said, "Hey, there seems to be a child on the boat."

Several people looked over, and saw a six or seven-year-old child lying on the simple wooden boat, wearing light blue clothes, his face could not be seen clearly, against the background of the green leaves in the pond, he did not look like a child in the world.

"Brother Ye, is this Brother Ling?"

Ye Chonghui said: "My brother is not bad."

When most people talk about their relatives, they have to introduce a few words in passing, such as how old they are, what kind of temper they have, and why they are on this small wooden boat, but Master Ye stopped talking after saying these words. Although these people were curious I have to scratch my heart and lungs, but I can't bring it up rashly, so I have to give up.

Luo Yan looked at it a few more times, and raised his lips meaningfully.He knew how much Ye Chonghui treasured his younger brother, but he didn't expect that he was so rare that he couldn't bear to mention it to others.

Ye Chonghui's yard is called Moyuan.He loved the fragrance of pen and ink since he was a child, so he chose this name. It is different from Ye Chongjin's Funing Courtyard. The servants are all well-behaved and dare not exceed the rules. Those who have served for a long time know that the eldest master can only be in front of the young master. It is easy to match, and at other times, it is no different from ice cubes.

A few literati get together, nothing more than chatting about poems and songs, playing chess and painting.

About an hour later, someone came to communicate and said: "Eldest young master, the family of the old man from Jinzhou has arrived at the mansion. Madam invites you to meet the guests in the front hall."

Ye Chonghui frowned and said, "Didn't it mean that we will arrive tomorrow?"

"I heard that there was no rest on the road, so I came here at night."

A senior brother said: "Could it be that the people from Jinzhou are from the Ye family? It's really rare. I heard that the Ye family doesn't like to set foot in the capital. They think that our people in the capital live extravagantly and corrupt people's hearts. I have come to take refuge in the Xiangfu again."

Ye Chonghui said coldly: "Uncle's family only came to the mansion for a few days as guests, but senior brother thinks about it a lot."

The man knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's senior brother who is confused, Junior Brother Ye must not be offended."

The person was brought by Luo Yan, and he was afraid of offending Ye Chonghui, so he hurriedly said to Xi Ni: "He has always been brainless, Brother Ye, don't take it seriously, since Brother Ye has guests at home, I can't disturb you, so I will leave. "

Ye Chonghui didn't even bother to say polite words, and said directly: "Come here, see off the guests."

Luo Yan: "..."

These few people were almost driven out, but they didn't dare to lose their temper. Who would let them have such confidence.As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw the kid in Tsing Yi running past him. He only had a quick glance, thinking that Qing Tian Bai Ri had seen a ghost.
