Imperial Exam Daily

At the end of April, the Xue family was sentenced to be executed for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country. Xue Linlang was added to the Bata tribe, and the marriage between the frontier and the Central Plains involved a lot. Once upon a time.

The Bata Department lost Xue's family as internal support, and was uprooted again this time. The momentary shock made it afraid to act rashly again.

When Yang Ye got the news, Axi was writing on the teaching quilt of the gazebo in the courtyard.

"I asked you to write in the study, but you wanted to come out. When you were outside, you didn't pay attention at all. You were only thinking about flowers and plants and butterflies."

The quilt is folded on the stool and I can't sit still. The scenery in April is so beautiful that I am willing to write honestly. I write with a brush in my hand, but my eyes fall on the group of goldfish in the fish pond.

"Little Daddy, I want to play with Zhou Yunqi."

He was still teaching writing with his head tilted: "No, if you don't write all the words well today, you can't go to play."

"Is it okay to have a puppy?"

Ah Xi put down his pen: "Daddy said this, why do you always say that?"

The quilt tugged at the corner of Ah Xi's clothes, and said coquettishly, "Little Daddy~"

Yang Ye looked at the father and son with a smile, and walked over: "Qi Zhe, you're bullying little dad again, aren't you?"

When Que Zhe saw him, he sat upright with his crooked body, and obediently called out Big Daddy.

Yang Ye rubbed the little boy's hair, and glanced at the wavy handwriting on the paper: "You are just playing around with little daddy."

Ah Xi stood up, with resentment between his brows: "I can't control your child."

Yang Ye led Axi to him: "I took him to the study room to write some words the day before yesterday. Seriously, he can write these things, and the poems taught can also be written. This is pure naughtiness."

"Then you don't care about it!"

The coquettish tone made Yang Ye helpless, he gently hugged him and walked into the room: "Whatever he does, if he doesn't read well, his younger siblings will definitely be smarter than him in the future, and he will feel ashamed to be an older brother."

Axi pushed Yang Ye: "How can you talk like that."

Quilt was playing with the ink-stained brush, looking at the servant boy beside him: "Is what Daddy said true? Do I have a younger brother?"

The servant boy said: "Next year there will be brothers accompanying the young master."

Quilt suddenly bit his pen and laughed: "Then I want to tell Zhou Yunqi that I have a younger brother, but he doesn't."

Yang Ye still told Axi about the Xue family's judgment.

In fact, Ah Xi had already been prepared in his heart, how can he be given a light sentence for collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, the ransacking of the family and beheading is inevitable.

After all, father and son are together, Axi still plans to go to Dali Temple to see Xue Yinsheng for the last time.

Xue Yinsheng stayed in prison for more than ten days, half of his hair turned gray, and in just a few days, he aged faster than Song Tingyou when he was imprisoned. He might have known his destiny in the prison cell.

"You are still willing to come to see me for the last time."

Seeing the couple coming, Xue Yinsheng stood up shaking his body, the corvee opened the cell door, and Axi brought in the food box he had brought.

He punched the lid of the food box, and inside was a stack of boiled chicken, two dishes, and two peeled salted eggs: "I made it myself."

Xue Yinsheng was silent for a long time, and took the chopsticks from Axi with trembling hands: "It's no wonder you still remember Daddy's favorite dish."

"Delicious." Xue Yinsheng's old eyes were full of tears: "It's as good as your mother's craftsmanship back then."

Ah Xi frowned: "It's rare that you still remember your mother."

Xue Yinsheng put down his chopsticks: "Zixiang, Dad knows you hate Dad, Dad is sorry for your mother, and also for you."

"Why do you have to say these things now?"

"Father knows that back then, he was busy with government affairs and alienated your mother, and even didn't stay by her side when she was sick. Zixiang, maybe you will never forgive father for this, but at that time, father was a young man in Kyoto. Official, the situation is bleak, and my father never felt how unbearable he was, until he fell in love with your mother, your grandfather looked down on me, humiliated and mocked me everywhere, blocked your mother from marrying the Xue family, your mother insisted, and almost married your grandfather Cut off the relationship between father and daughter."

"After marrying your mother, father thought that as long as he loved your mother and treated her and you well, your grandfather would change his opinion of father after a long time, but this is not the case. Your grandfather is General Weiyuan. Father has a meager family background and a low-level official position. At that time, I swore that I would definitely feel proud!"

Ah Xi's brows tightened, and he bit his words a little hard: "Grandpa is just hard-spoken and soft-hearted. You are too sensitive and feel that he is targeting you everywhere. Even without Grandpa, you are more enthusiastic about fame and fortune than my mother and me."

Xue Yinsheng let out a miserable laugh, did not answer what Axi said, and raised his head to look at Yang Ye: "In time, this court will be your world."

"Master Xue is serious. The court is the emperor's court. How can it be the turn of a young man to rule the world again?"

"The old man is in prison, you have been promoted again."

Yang Ye said: "The court is turbulent and the clouds are treacherous. Tall buildings rise and fall. Fame and wealth are just a fleeting moment, how can they compare with the people in front of them."

He held Axi's hand tightly: "With Master Xue's lessons learned, the officials dare not put more energy on the court."

Xue Yinsheng laughed: "Okay! Zixiang has vision."

After saying that, the yamen servant came to remind him: "Master Yang, it's almost time."

Axi turned his back and exhaled: "Let's go."

Xue Yinsheng watched the couple walk to the door, chased after them and said, "Have you taken the quilt home?"

Ah Xi didn't look back: "He's at home."

Xue Yinsheng said: "That's good... I never thought of hurting him."

"Is your word believable? I fell into the pond back then, and you probably know that I was pushed down by Aunt Xiao's design."

After Ah Xi finished speaking, before Xue Yinsheng could reply, he dragged Yang Ye away quickly.

In May, Yang Cheng brought Wu Yonglan to the capital. The family's business was stable, and Yang Ye had no time to return to Wenyang County, so the couple had to come to the capital, so that they could have a reunion.

Que Zhe likes to have guests at home very much. Once a visitor comes, he doesn’t have to be stared at reading and writing. He is very happy when he heard that the adults said that the uncle and aunt from his hometown, and sister Xiaoxiang, have been at the door for a long time Wandering around waiting for someone to come.

Near noon, someone finally came, he happily ran out the door and waited for the sedan chair, but the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and it turned out to be the little wooden Xing Yunye who came down.

The quilt folded up: "Why is uncle here?"

Yun Ye gathered his clothes, and his figure was already tall and straight: "Come and see you."

"Isn't uncle busy practicing martial arts?" The quilt circled around Yunye, watching the visitor change from his previous close-fitting armor and wearing a bright cross-collared shirt: "And come here See how handsome I need to dress up?"

Yunye coughed, and took the folded hand: "I heard that there are guests coming, it would be impolite if you don't tidy up, go in quickly."

Quilt looked up at Yunye: "When did my uncle and sister Xiaoxiang get married?"

"Who told you that I and... I were engaged?"

"I heard what my little dad said yesterday."

Yunye was a little embarrassed: "Don't ask too many questions, kid."

"If you don't tell me, I'll tell my uncle what you secretly taught me to drink last time."

Yunye couldn't help him, so he could only whisper: "We are destined baby relatives."

Que Zhe opened his eyes wide, and seemed to feel that the matter was very strange: "Uncle and sister Xiaoxiang are so close, I also asked my little daddy to make a baby kiss for my little brother."

"Don't mess around." Yun Ye said: "Qi Zhe's family has a good family background. If there are younger brothers and sisters in the future, there are many good families in Beijing. Let the younger brothers and sisters choose the one they like."

Que Zhe nodded thoughtfully: "Then I'll be optimistic about the children of good people in the capital as soon as possible, and give my younger brothers and sisters a backup."

Yun Ye smiled: "Okay."

The journey was delayed for some time, originally scheduled to arrive at the capital at noon, but Yang Cheng's family arrived in the afternoon. They had been separated for several months, and everyone missed each other. When Yang Ye was imprisoned, he did not dare to talk to Yang Cheng Correspondence, I'm afraid the family members are in a hurry, and the two brothers are talking about the current situation during the tea and dinner.

Que Zhe saw Xiao Xiang who was following Wu Yonglan, she was very shy, she followed her mother all the time, the girl was raised very beautifully, he pushed Yun Ye: "Why don't you come over and say hello to sister Xiao Xiang!"

His voice was so loud that everyone looked at him, Xing Yunye was at a loss, and Xiao Xiang was also embarrassed.

"Sister Xiaoxiang, uncle said that he has prepared a gift for you and wants you to see it."

Xiao Xiang blushed so much that she didn't dare to look at Xing Yunye, she lowered her head and tugged at Wu Yonglan's sleeve.

Wu Yonglan smiled: "Go."

Xing Yunye stared at Xiao Xiang as he slowly approached, and looked at him directly with embarrassment. After a while, he looked away, and his peripheral vision was still on Xiao Xiang.

Quilt ran over and threw himself into Axi's arms, lying on Axi's lap, watching the two go into the house.

Axi hugged him up: "Aren't you very clingy to my uncle on weekdays, why don't you go with me today."

Everyone just laughed.

Yang Cheng's family of three lived in the capital for a while. The family's business was so big that they couldn't be left alone for a long time. They had to be watched by Yang Cheng, and they separated after a short meeting.

There is no major event in the current court, and Yang Ye is really free. Yang Cheng came to the capital and took care of the business in the capital for him, which made him itch for business again.

In the past few years, Fuxizhai has opened a branch in the capital. The cold skewers do not require a large shop, and now they have been separated into several places. The diners in the capital are very receptive to tastes, and they can eat strange things, so Yang Ye If you want to open a small restaurant in your spare time, instead of rushing to make a lot of money, it's all just for fun.

When Ah Xi heard him talk about wanting to open a restaurant, he was very supportive: "What does the landlord sell for opening a small restaurant?"

There are many restaurants in the capital, and these are the most indispensable. If there is nothing new, they have to do business at a loss.

"I've already thought of a name, so I'll call it Qiweiju!" Yang Ye said, "As for what to sell, you come with me."

Axi put his hand in his palm with a smile, and the two went to the kitchen holding hands.

Things were prepared early in the morning, including plant ash, duck eggs, snails, vermicelli, bamboo shoots, and old tofu. These materials are made of preserved eggs, snail noodles, and stinky tofu. The reason why it is called Qiweiju is that the things are naturally strange. .

Yang Ye inadvertently thought of saving all kinds of things, thinking that one day he could open a small restaurant and sell these foods.

The two of them didn't ask anyone to help, just like when they were still in the village in the past, they relied on themselves for the first time to do business. , have to wait for some time to ferment.

It's been a long time since Ah Xi saw Yang Ye making weird things, so he can't help but look forward to how the food will taste this time.

After a few days, Yang Ye finished talking about a shop, and when he came back, he looked at the ingredients he had made earlier. The tofu had fermented and turned into stinky tofu.

A Xi looked at the black tofu cubes, and smiled wryly: "Isn't this really bad? Can I still eat it?"

"Don't worry."

Yang Ye deep-fried the tofu, waited for the small pieces of tofu to soak up before picking it up, poked a big hole in the middle of the tofu piece, and put the onion, ginger, and garlic seasoning that he had prepared earlier in the morning into it.

It is also the first time for him to fry stinky tofu. When he went out, he saw a street stall selling it. Young students like to try new things, so he dragged him to try it. It really made him feel good. .

A plate of stinky tofu was pushed in front of Axi. He saw that it had been deep-fried and seasoned, but its original black appearance had not changed at all. He gritted his teeth and held his breath, blinking his eyes and looking at Yang Ye. .

Quilt pinched his nose, wanting to taste it, but the taste and appearance were saying no to him, so he obediently put a piece into Yang Ye's bowl first: "Eat first, Daddy."

Yang Ye was almost amused by the father and son, so he took a sip himself first: "Well~ my craftsmanship is as good as ever."

It was hard for the two of them to imagine that such an ugly and smelly thing could be eaten so deliciously by him, and they didn't know whether to eat it or not.

"As for this stinky tofu, many people would reject it at first, but once they eat it, most of them want to eat it again." Yang Ye coaxed Ah Xi, took a piece and fed it. After he tentatively opened his mouth, he immediately covered his mouth.

Ah Xi was startled for a moment, unable to push his hand away, so he had to try to chew it twice, and the resistance on his face became calmer.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Yang Ye let go of his hand, and Axi covered his mouth again. The more he ate, the more wonderful the taste became: "It seems, it's still... okay!"

Que Zhe looked at the two people who were laughing, raised his eyebrows fiercely: "How can the big daddy bully the little daddy!"

A few days later, Yang Ye cooked snail noodles and cold preserved eggs for Ah Xi to eat. As for the stinky tofu and snail noodles, which both tasted obsessed, Ah Xi was really incapable of accepting them, but he still ate the preserved eggs very well. This breakfast has preserved egg and lean meat porridge every now and then.

Yang Ye also knows that everyone has different tastes, so there are some acceptable ones and some unacceptable ones. Two days ago, Dai Lin brought Zhou Yunqi over, and Ah Xi asked the cook at home to make several meals for him to taste. After tasting it, Dai Lin liked the taste of stinky tofu very much, and brought some back to Shi Ziye by the way, and forced him to eat it.

When he went to court, he was caught by Zhou Lie, and he was scolded miserably, which is really dumbfounding.

After some preparations, at the beginning of June, his Qiweiju finally officially opened!

Whether it is a small Wenyang County or a bustling capital city, the sound of crackling firecrackers is indispensable for the opening of the business. He and Axi stood side by side at the door. Axi covered his folded ears with his hands. It exploded, and the red paper flew.

After struggling for so many years, Yang Ye didn't know how much money and status he got, but he watched the new store open all the way, and the people who came to send firecrackers to congratulate him gradually changed from small restaurant owners in the past to today's dignitaries.

In the past half of my life, there have been gains and losses. As for whether the gains outweigh the losses, or the losses outweigh the gains...  

"The sound of firecrackers is too loud, how many are left?"

The head with black hair suddenly leaned against his chest, Yang Ye smiled dotingly, he raised his hand to cover Ah Xi's ears, now there is a big one in his arms, and there is a small one standing beside him, and there is a small one in his belly. There is another one, gains and losses, already self-evident.

Looking at the smiling man with crooked eyebrows, even though he already had a second child, he was still no different from the boy in the past, he leaned into his ear and said, "Little friend, there seems to be a new mole on your chin. "

Axi raised his head in doubt, reached out and touched his chin: "Where is it?"

Yang Ye raised his hand to block the falling light, lowered his head slightly, and kissed the softly contoured chin...
