Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

Lu Ziyan's trip was not for anything else, but for the sake of apprenticeship, but he was still reluctant in his heart, so he came to Ye Chongjin for help.

He didn't expect Ye Chonghui to be there, he bent his lips, and smiled obediently: "Hello, Brother Ye."

Ye Chonghui nodded slightly, and asked politely, "Are you looking for Ah Jin?"

He nodded, and winked playfully at Ye Chongjin. He always had such a strange appearance, as if he had hidden a stomach full of bad water. Seeing Ye Chongjin became vigilant, and hummed: "Didn't you change your teeth, and you finished it so soon?"

Lu Ziyan wondered: "... Otherwise, how long does it take to change teeth?"

Ye Chongjin choked. He hadn't started changing his teeth in this life, and he had forgotten the memory of changing teeth in his previous life, so he didn't know how long this process would take. He pursed his lips and turned his head to drink water.

Sitting opposite him, Lu Ziyan bared his teeth, opened his mouth with one hand, and showed Ye Chongjin his newly replaced deciduous teeth: "Here, can you see the gap inside?"

Ye Chongjin endured it, but still couldn't resist curiosity, so he leaned over to have a look.Sure enough, I saw a black hole in the corner. If you look carefully, you can see the small buds that have just emerged, and there is a little white on the pale pink gums, giving people the illusion of fine craftsmanship.

Lu Ziyan knew that he would like it, even his uncle couldn't resist the temptation, and he wouldn't get tired of watching it several times a day.

Ye Chongjin wanted to touch it, but was stopped by Lu Ziyan, and said, "My hands are not dirty."

Lu Ziyan could already see the dust on his hands, and he didn't know how the pampered young master of the Ye family turned into a mud monkey with a leaf on his hair. He suppressed a smile and said, "You can't touch the newly replaced teeth, and you can't touch them." Lick, it won't grow up."

Ye Chongjin turned to look at his brother, saw Ye Chonghui also nodded to him, so he withdrew his hand unwillingly.

Ye Chonghui continued to clean up the dust on his cheeks with wet wipes, while Lu Ziyan waited beside him and said, "Brother Ah Jin, actually I have something to ask you."

Ye Chongjin knew that he had something to do. Usually when this bastard comes here, he looks for food first, and fun second. If he can't find it, he tosses around in the yard, taking people to play games, such as hopscotch, wooden men, and Ye Chongjin's favorite card Games, in short, will not be as gracious as they are today.

He put his dirty little hands into the water, washed them slowly, and said, "Let's listen."

Lu Ziyan frowned, and told his uncle that he was determined to find him a husband.If the other gentlemen are okay, he can just use tricks to get rid of his popularity, but this gentleman from the Ye family is a well-known official of the Ye family in Jinzhou, and he is also the cousin of Prime Minister Ye. He didn't dare to make trouble.

After hearing this, Ye Chongjin smiled unceremoniously, "You still have today, your uncle should have punished you long ago."

Ye Chonghui took his wet hand, wiped it clean with a dry cloth, and said casually: "You mean, your uncle wants to throw your hot potato to our house, so that we can discipline him?"

The corner of Lu Xiaoye's mouth twitched, the two brothers were better at running people than the other.

"My uncle has this plan. The decision he made is difficult to change, but the old man has always listened to Ah Jin. Tell him to let my uncle's plan come to naught, okay?"

Ye Chongjin narrowed his eyes and smiled, with a hint of cunning, and asked, "Why should I help you?"

Young Master Lu answered loudly: "Because we are friends!"

Ye Chongjin rolled his eyes, wondering where he got his confidence.

========

This matter failed in the end, not because Ye Chongjin came forward to help, but because Ye Mingkun received a letter from Jinzhou and had to take his wife and children on the return journey in the near future, and had no time to discipline his nephew for Master Hou.

Lu Lin was riding on a horse, holding his precious nephew in his arms. The two chatted without saying a word. The brilliance in the child's eyes was so dazzling that Master Lu couldn't help but wonder if it was God's will. Maybe this child He should not be disciplined, but should be allowed to grow up freely and unrestrainedly.

But providence led him to another man.

At a roadside stall, a scholar was selling calligraphy and paintings.Lu Lin felt that the voice was really familiar, so he took a second look, and was a little surprised when he saw the scholar's appearance clearly.

"Master Liu?"

This scholar is none other than Liu Jinyun from the Jinguang Temple that day. He sold calligraphy and paintings to make a living during the day, and went back to the temple to borrow at night.

Liu Jinyun raised his eyes, with the usual gentle smile on his face, neither humble nor overbearing, cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou."

Lu Lin got off the horse with the child in his arms, frowned, and asked, "What's going on?"

Liu Jinyun's father, Liu Jing, used to be the Chancellor of Dali Temple and was Lu Lin's subordinate. Liu Jing died of illness within a few months. He has been an official for dozens of years, and his family property is quite rich. He would not let the child left by his first wife live on the street .

Liu Jinyun forced a smile, and said: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, Lord Hou should not ask about it. It is really hard for me to talk about it."

"The Marquis once promised Liu Jing to take care of his two sons. Although it was a superficial talk, this Marquis has the character to say what he says. If you have any grievances, this Marquis, the Minister of Dali Temple, must take care of you."

Lu Lin brought Liu Jinyun back to the Hou's Mansion and offered him a cup of hot tea. The eyes of this boy who is only eighteen or nineteen years old now were red.

Liu Jinyun held back for too long, he no longer cared about who the other party was, and just wanted to confide.

"Master Hou, to be honest, I was kicked out by my elder brother. In fact, I only found out after my father passed away. It turns out...it turns out that I am not born of my aunt, but the illegitimate child of my father and my aunt. This matter is too absurd. To save the face of the family, this is why I was raised under the name of my aunt. In the past, I always felt that my aunt favored my elder brother, but it turned out that I deserved this."

The reputation of an illegitimate child is already ugly, but he was born by his father and his first wife's sister secretly. If he said it, he would be stabbed in the back. It is understandable for him to be kicked out by the mother and son.

Speaking of these, Liu Jinyun was extremely ashamed, and still had a faint sense of clarity.

Lu Lin pondered for a moment, and said, "Liu Jing's actions are absurd, but you are innocent, so don't blame yourself too much."

Liu Jinyun lowered his head and did not answer.

Lu Lin asked, "Do you have a place to live now?"

Liu Jinyun wiped away his tears, and said, "I'm temporarily renting the Jinguang Temple, and plan to stay until the beginning of next spring."

"Chunwei?"

"Exactly."

Lu Lin's eyes flashed, and he said: "Living in a temple is not a long-term solution, not to mention that you will participate in the spring next year, so you should spend more time reading books. I have an errand here. If you want, you can live in the Hou's mansion. By the way How about teaching Benhou's nephew how to read a few words, and paying the salary separately?"

Liu Jinyun's face showed joy. Ever since he was wandering around with Master Kongchen, the little novice in Jinguang Temple looked down on him more and more. He was also raised by a wealthy family and couldn't bear to be looked down upon. Now that Lu Lin is willing to help him, he is very grateful.

"Liu Jinyun has nothing to repay the great kindness and virtue of Lord Hou. No matter whether he is poor or rich, high or low in the future, he will never forget the kindness of Lord Hou's help."

Lu Lin only smiled lightly, he didn't care whether Liu Jinyun would repay his kindness in the future, he just hoped that he would not be frightened by the wild children at home, and just let him go.

Lu Lin told himself that this was the last time that a teacher would come here by peddling favors.

When Lu Ziyan heard the name Liu Jinyun, he was really shocked. He asked Liu Jinyun to write the name on the paper, and his eyes became very complicated after reading it.

Liu Jinyun, it turns out that this person is Liu Jinyun, the first military adviser in Daegu, the smiling fox Liu Jinyun.

He regretted that he shouldn't have driven away the previous 47 gentlemen, otherwise he wouldn't have met this one.Is this the fate of the protagonist who travels through, no matter how he hides, he can meet awesome characters?

==========

Ye Mansion is not peaceful at this time, Ye Mingkun received a letter from the family and must rush back to Jinzhou as soon as possible, but his daughter's marriage has not yet been settled, how can he feel at ease.

Mrs. Ye persuaded: "Since the Buddha instructed that Ruoyao's fate is here, we don't have to worry about this moment. We will go back to Jinzhou to deal with important matters. There will be sisters-in-law to look after us. There will be no mistakes. And Yun Zhe should also return After studying in school and staying in the bustling capital for a long time, sooner or later I lost my mind."

During the time in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she had a very good relationship with An's, and entrusting her daughter to her was 1 peace of mind.

Ye Mingkun was still worried, and said: "Ruoyao is always her daughter's family, and there is no one to take care of her. We are far away in Jinzhou, so we can't take care of everything. If something happens..."

Mrs. Ye thought about it, and said: "The husband took Yun Zhe back to Jinzhou, and I stayed here to accompany Ruoyao."

When Ye Mingkun heard this, he became even more unhappy, "How could this make it so? No one would leave his wife and daughter alone in someone else's house. What kind of person have I become? It's not appropriate."

Mrs. Ye couldn't help laughing, and said: "This is not appropriate, that is not appropriate, then what do you say, Ruoyao will make people laugh when she returns to Jinzhou, that girl has a thin skin and can't stand being pointed at by others. If you can’t take it back, you should take out a charter.”

"...how about leaving Yunzhe in the capital to accompany his sister?"

After he finished speaking, Mrs. Ye's face darkened, and she said, "Have you forgotten that your son is determined to pursue an official career, and we have suppressed your son these days, so he is quite obedient. Once we leave, he will definitely cause trouble."

The husband and wife are having a headache, and even more headaches are coming.

That night, someone threw a stone into Mrs. Ye's house. The stone was wrapped with a note, with scrawled handwriting, but the content was bluffing, saying that her daughter had an affair with the chef in Ye Chongjin's yard.

Mrs. Ye was trembling with anger after reading it. She didn't dare to say anything, and silently burned the note on the candle, thinking about all the things in these days, and couldn't sleep all night.

In the early morning of the next day, she called her daughter into the room, and she slapped her face without saying a word.

Ye Ruoyao was stupefied by the beating, and asked, "Mother..."

"I've been shrewd all my life, how could I give birth to such a stupid thing like you! A Zhen Xu made you unable to stay in Jinzhou, and made our family look bad. You didn't learn a lesson, and you came to the capital, and dared to play romantic games tricks, being ambiguous with a foreigner, don’t you think we’re not ashamed enough?”

With red eyes, Ye Ruoyao said wrongedly: "I have nothing to do with him, I have a clear conscience."

"Yes, you have a clear conscience, but in the eyes of others, you are a boudoir girl who gets along closely with a foreigner, who will listen to your explanation? You are a girl from the Ye family, and everything you say and do represents the Ye family. The face of the clan, if you make a mistake, you will be tightly held in the palm of your hand, waiting to bite you back in the future."

"The Ye family, it's the Ye family again... What's so good about being the Ye family? If I could choose, I don't want to be the daughter of the Ye family at all!"

Mrs. Ye's face was extremely ugly, "What did you say?"

Ye Ruoyao cried like a tearful person, "Since I was a child, every time you scold me, you always use this kind of rhetoric, because I am a daughter of the Ye family, so I can't make any mistakes, otherwise I will lose face to you and my ancestors." My face! In Jinzhou, I don’t have any friends. They say that they can’t climb high, but they think I’m putting on airs and it’s hard to get along with them. Those who come to ask for marriage, which one is not for the Ye family’s reputation, In their eyes, even if I, Ye Ruoyao, are a faceless girl with no virtue or talent, they can still marry me because I am a daughter of the Ye family!"

Mrs. Ye was silent for a while, and said, "Isn't this cook aiming at your identity?"

"He doesn't know who I am yet," Ye Ruoyao wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "I haven't confessed my identity all this time, and he still calls me a girl. Do it with a dull head, he is an excellent person, and his craftsmanship is even better, the dim sum that my mother praised last time was taken from him."

Mrs. Ye was taken aback for a moment, she thought it was the dim sum made by the famous Xunxiang Restaurant in the capital, and praised that it was worthy of the name and could afford the high price.

"I have also eaten dim sum in Xunxianglou, but it's not as good as Yao Zhen's random snacks. Mother, you always tell your daughter not to just look at the present, but to look at the long-term. Even if you are a poor scholar, there is no guarantee that you will not be the champion in the future. Yao Zhen He is a poor cook now, but in the future, he will definitely have a great future, in fact, I don't care if he has a great future, as long as he treats me wholeheartedly, that's enough."

What she said was sincere, and it was very different from when she was arguing in front of her parents to be a concubine.

Mrs. Ye said: "In the past, you also liked Zhen Xu so much. If I allow you, you will regret it in the future, and there will be no turning back."

"They are different, how can that liar compare with Yao Zhen!"

"It's the same," Mrs. Ye held her shoulders, and said in a deep voice, "It's the same, Yao'er, when you don't like them, they are all the same. Originally, your father and I were still worried and didn't know how to deal with you And Yunzhe, this time, you can follow us back to Jinzhou."

"Mom, have you forgotten why I came to the capital?"

"Mother didn't forget, it was Yao'er, you forgot, I used to be too used to you, this time you go back and see what consequences will be caused by a momentary impulse, you will know after suffering enough, what your parents did Everything is for your own good."

After saying that, she strode out and locked the door, letting Ye Ruoyao plead inside.

She said to the woman in charge: "Miss, come back to Jinzhou with us and pack our luggage. The sooner the better."

========

Ye Chongjin closed the carved wooden window, yawned, and asked lazily, "Who is on duty tonight?"

No one answered, Xia He pushed Chun Yi beside her, Chun Yi was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Tonight is the servant girl on duty."

Ye Chongjin glanced at her, and said, "Chun Yi, why are you not in good spirits, but what's wrong with you?"

Chunyi quickly shook her head and said: "Thank you for your concern, master, the servant is fine."

Ye Chongjin nodded, picked up the wooden stick on the table, and fiddled with the flame on the candlestick casually, his fair face flickered under the candlelight, and he suddenly said: "I heard from my mother that my cousin's family will leave tomorrow to go back to Tianjin." I'm out of state, I originally wanted to keep my cousin, but for some reason, I changed my mind temporarily, and if I leave this time, maybe I won't come back."

He looked up, and he didn't miss the lightness that flashed across Chunyi's face.

"Stand back." He lowered his eyelashes to hide the cold light.

The little white tiger followed him and moved to the couch together. He found a brocade box inlaid with gold from under the pillow. It was made of golden nanmu and was exquisitely carved. He opened the small golden lock. On the top was a Panlong jade pendant, and a stack of He opened the thick bank note, and pulled out the title deed underneath.

Because of his young age, his family didn't like to give him cash in cash. Most of them were antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as land deeds such as Zhuangzi's shop.

The prime minister's mansion is actually not rich. His father has been the prime minister for several years, and the soup is poor, and there is no oil or water. The interest is increasing, and the life is getting richer and richer.The shops that An's gave him are all profitable.

Ye Chongjin took out a title deed from it. It was a tea house in the west of the city. Because it was located by the Mingyue Lake, the daily customer flow was astonishing, and it took advantage of the geographical advantage.

Simply give it away, just treat it as a gift.

He pinched the big cat's well-trimmed paws, and said with a smile: "Tell me, if I let cousin Ruoyao out, will it be very lively tonight?"

As if thinking of something extremely interesting, he rolled on the bed with the little white tiger in his arms.
