Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

Seeing her mother sad, Ye Chongjin was not sad, but there are some things, the sooner you say them, the harm will be less.

Back at the prime minister's mansion, Ye Chonghui was waiting in front of the door, his mother and younger brother got out of the carriage, they were all silent, and he frowned imperceptibly.

He has always been straightforward, so he asked directly: "I was in Ershan today, but what happened?"

Anshi forced a smile, unable to hide the exhaustion on his face, and said: "The mountain road is bumpy this trip, and my mother's body is a little bit unbearable, just take a rest."

After finishing speaking, she patted the back of Ye Chongjin's hand, and with the help of her maid, she went back to her yard.

Ye Chongjin watched her leave, unconsciously showing worry.

After entering the Funing Courtyard, Ye Chonghui waved back his servants and stood in front of his younger brother. Ye Chongjin was in a daze, but he didn't realize that there was a wall of people in front of him, hitting his solid chest directly.

The young man was stunned for a moment, rubbed his forehead, and whispered: "I'm sorry, brother, did it hurt you?"

Ye Chonghui frowned, a little displeased.Is this still his younger brother? Even if his family A Jin bumped into someone, he should be justified, complaining that his chest is not soft enough, hurting his delicate body, how could he apologize to others.

He pinched the boy's soft face and asked, "You're listless, did Ah Jin suffer from the bumps?"

If it was normal, Ye Chongjin would be annoyed when his brother pinched his face, but now he has no time to be angry.

He drooped his eyelashes slightly, and said in a low voice: "Actually, it was Ah Jin who upset my mother today. I contradicted my mother and said some unreasonable things to make her unhappy."

Ye Chonghui took him into his arms and said softly: "Mother loves Ah Jin the most, if Ah Jin coaxes mother, she won't be sad."

"It's useless," Ye Chongjin pursed his lips, and said, "This time, it's different from the past."

He has always known that there is a scar in An's heart, which is the guilt, self-blame, and deep guilt for his youngest son.Because of this, he hated drinking medicine since he was a child. As long as he was in front of his mother, he would always drink it without saying a word, because once he showed a little resistance and pain, it would aggravate the scars in his mother's heart.

Now, that old wound was completely torn open and bloody again.It was his fault.

Ye Chonghui caressed his younger brother's back and said: "Although I don't know what the misunderstanding is, the person mother cares about most is A Jin. Since A Jin is worried about her mother, why don't you convey this heart to her, even if it's not for yourself, it is For Ah Jin, mother will also cheer up."

Ye Chongjin was silent in his arms.

"Ah Jin is afraid?"

"Brother, Ah Jin is my mother's wound. If I appear in front of my mother, it will only make her more sad."

The young man pursed his lips astringently, and a few green bamboo leaves fell on the brocade-like black hair as the breeze blew.

Ye Chonghui paused.

After a long time, he said: "Since it is a wound, it is an inseparable part of the body. If you force it out, you will only bleed and your life will be in danger. Touching the wound is certainly painful, but if the wound is not treated, it will only It will get worse day by day. Long-term pain or short-term pain, which one does Ah Jin think is better?"

Ye Chongjin was silent for a moment, and said, "Ah Jin understands what brother said."

Ye Chonghui's cold face showed a very gentle look, and he raised his hand to brush a fallen leaf from the boy's hair.

To him, Ah Jin seemed hurt and painful, but the existence of this pain was also a kind of happiness.

Maybe he will worry about him, worry about him, and worry about him, but if he loses these fetters and emotions, Ye Hengzhi will lack a soul, just a cold-blooded skin, a biting cold stone.

Holding the young man's slender body, he murmured: "Ah Jin, to my elder brother, Ah Jin is a gift from God."

Ye Chongjin blinked, and because of his brother's words, he felt surprisingly better, he said: "To be born in the Ye family, to meet my brother, parents, and grandfather, for Ah Jin, it is also a blessing from my previous life. "

After saying these provocative words, he was a little embarrassed, pushed his brother away, turned around and ran out of the bamboo forest.

After a few days, An's was enjoying the cool in the garden. She was in a bad mood recently, and a few girls were teasing her.

Suddenly, I saw a kite flying outside the courtyard wall. There was a painting on the kite. It was a fat doll wearing a red bellyband. That little doll was really pretty, with red lips and white teeth. It almost makes people think it is a real child.

An Shi put down the cup in her hand, and stood up suddenly. The handwriting was from her family, A Jin.

In their family, good calligraphers abound. The only thing she can do is painting. She taught the painting skills of the two sons, but they have already excelled.

The eldest son is good at freehand brushwork, and the youngest son is good at realistic painting, both of which are unique.

Several servants commented: "The child on the paper kite looks like a fairy boy. How can there be such a child with such aura in the world?"

The older mother smiled and said: "Why not, our young master was like this when he was young, no, he should be prettier than the children in this painting. One year at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, he was embraced by the late emperor. Praise on the lap, even the current His Majesty and the Prince in those days hugged him all night, and he refused to let go."

When she said the first few words, An Shi still showed a smile, but when she heard the word "Prince", her expression changed suddenly.

The people around were all looking at her expression, seeing that she was unhappy, they quickly stopped talking.

But outside the courtyard wall, another paper kite was slowly flying up. It was not a fat doll, but a beautiful woman, wearing a Yaotai bun, holding a round fan with landscape ink in her hand, and wearing a purple pipa lapel top. Wearing a pair of phoenix pattern embroidered shoes on her feet, with a gentle face, she really looks like a fairy concubine.

A sharp-eyed girl said: "This, this is our wife."

An Shi looked at the paper kite with complicated and indescribable emotions.

But I saw the little chubby baby kite flying towards the beautiful woman at a slow speed. The child opened his arms like jade lotus root, and his jade white cheeks were smiling, as if he was begging for his mother's embrace.

This scene was inexplicably soft-hearted, all the servants watching were speechless, and felt their chests melted into a puddle of water.

Just as Ye Yanbai stepped into the courtyard, when he saw two paper kites in the air, he also looked startled, then raised his lips, turned and left.

An shi stared at the sky intently, the little doll was about to crash into his mother's arms, everyone held their breaths, but the big kite was suddenly pulled away and disappeared into the air.

In the vast sky, only the fat little doll was left standing alone in mid-air with his arms outstretched.

In an instant, I don't know how many loving mothers' hearts were broken.

An's was even worse, her eyes turned red, and she murmured in a low voice: "Ajin, my Ajin."

She turned around and walked out of the courtyard, bypassing the courtyard wall, there was an open space, and the immature boy was holding a paper kite in his hand, hanging his head in a daze.

"A Jin..."

Ye Chongjin raised her eyes and called cautiously, "Mother."

Anshi walked up to him, stroked his cheek, and asked, "Why did you close the thread?"

Ye Chongjin pouted and muttered in a low voice, "Zhiyuan can still reunite mother and child, but Ah Jin can't reconcile with mother as before. She was jealous, so she closed the line."

An Shi curled her lips, but tears were streaming down her eyes, she hugged her son.

"Ajin, my Ajin, my mother just doesn't know how to face you, there is a god standing three feet above her head, my mother has done irreparable mistakes, and all of them have been seen by God, my mother is not afraid of being blamed by gods and Buddhas, I'm not afraid of karma being imposed on me, I'm afraid that Ah Jin will learn the truth in the future and blame her mother."

Ye Chongjin patted her on the back and comforted her: "Ah Jin only knows that there would be no Ah Jin without her mother, and her mother said that she would never be angry with Ah Jin, so Ah Jin would never blame her mother, this is Ah Jin's promise to his mother, a man, once said, is hard to follow."

Hearing what his son said, An finally felt a little more at ease.

Zhenwei Building.

In the private room, Ye Chonghui poured a glass of wine, took a sip, and said, "This pear blossom tastes good."

Luo Yan smiled and said, "As long as Heng Zhi likes it."

Ye Chonghui put down his wine glass and asked, "You called me here before I could change my official uniform, what's the matter?"

A look of embarrassment flashed across Luo Yan's brows, he drank a few glasses of wine, and said: "Actually, my mother asked Princess Sheng to be a matchmaker, and proposed marriage to Lord Liu."

"Master Liu? But Master Liu, the envoy?"

Luo Yan nodded, staring closely at the man opposite with a pair of black eyes, and said: "It is the beloved daughter of Lord Liu."

Ye Chonghui said: "Master Liu has made remarkable achievements in politics and is quite capable. His daughter must be intelligent."

"Naturally intelligent, I heard from my mother that Miss Liu won the top prize at Princess Cheng's Flower Appreciation Competition. Perfect."

Ye Chonghui said: "In this way, it's a good match."

Luo Yan repeated: "A good match?"

He smiled lowly and drank a few more cups. Ye Chonghui held down the jug in his hand and said, "You will get drunk soon after drinking this way."

Luo Yan looked at his hand in silence, the slender and fair finger bones, like finely polished jade, very beautiful.

Like a ghost, he stretched out his hand to hold the hand that he dared not even touch in his dreams, and bowed his head to kiss, but Ye Chonghui pinched his jaw, frowned and pushed him away, asking, "What are you doing?"

Luo Yan showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, clenched his fists, and said: "Hengzhi, you know, I don't want to marry Miss Liu...I have always liked you."

Ye Chonghui raised his eyebrows slightly, but there was no other reaction.

Luo Yan said: "That year, it was also this early summer season. I went to the mansion for my elder brother to inquire about your cousin's marriage. You kicked me into the lotus pond. That was the first time I saw you smile. It was only because you were the prime minister. Son, I want to make friends with you. Since then, I have been like a demon. I want to see you all the time. If you are happy, I will be a hundred times happier than you. If you are not happy, I will be ten times a hundred times more uncomfortable. "

He stared at Ye Chonghui obsessively, and said: "The three words Ye Hengzhi seem to be engraved in my bones and blood, and I can't get them out no matter what."

Ye Chonghui drank a glass of wine by himself, and said lightly: "I only consider you a friend."

Luo Yan said to himself: "Of course, you only have your younger brother in your eyes. Of course I know when you ever had me. I just don't want to be reconciled."

"There are too many people who love Mr. Hengzhi in this world. I just want you to know that Luo Xingmiao once loved you in silence for eight years. The world said I was romantic, but I gave all my love to you." , I didn’t share a single bit of it with others.”

Ye Chonghui stood up, walked to the window, and pushed open a huanghuali wooden window. A few birds stood on the branches, chirping, making people disturbed.

He said: "You and I are not in the same way."

Luo Yan followed behind him and asked: "Then, which road am I, and which road is Hengzhi?... Who is it, and you are on the same path as you."

"Which way I am from, you will always know in the future, but you, you Luo Xingmiao love not others, but yourself. Compared with true love, power is more important to you. Back then, you asked me to marry you for your brother Cousin, I still remember what I said."

Ye Chonghui said slowly: "At that time, you said that true love is rare, and power is more powerful."

Luo Yan's complexion changed, and he said: "At that time, he was young and didn't know the truth..."

"Even though you didn't know the truth at that time, you have always had the opportunity to express your heart to me these years, but you never said, one is because you can't make up my mind, and the other is because you dare not. What is the love between men against? Human relations, you are worried about being criticized by thousands of people and criticized by future generations, so you shrink back. You delay, maybe it is for today. get out."

Luo Yan's expression turned ugly, "So you think so."

Ye Chonghui closed the window to block the noise outside the window, and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, some value love, some value profit, there is no right or wrong. Brother Luo, let's drink up to here for today's wine."

He was about to open the door, but he heard Luo Yan say: "You are right, I dare not. But, these years, even if you give me a glimmer of hope, I have nothing to dare."

"Ye Hengzhi, believe it or not, if you say 'don't get married' to me today, even if His Majesty personally bestows a marriage, I dare not obey the order. What about fame, wealth and power, I just want to..."

Ye Chonghui didn't move at all, and interrupted: "You're drunk."

After saying that, he walked out of the room without hesitation.

Luo Yan looked at his back as he was leaving, his tall body was like jade bamboo, which made him obsessed as before.

After a long time, he suddenly lifted the table full of food and drink, slid against the wall, covered his face with a low smile, and did not know when his face was covered with tears.

"Ye Hengzhi, do you really have a heart..."
