Don't run away to touch porcelain

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, there was a fresh snowfall, and the people in Cheng'an City became more and more lazy, even the black cat of the Ye family who jumped over the wall to cause trouble was unwilling to move its nest.The sycamore tree in the courtyard of the Ji Mansion was already bare, but now that the trunk was covered with soft white snow, it looked less desolate.Ye Huizhi, who always loved sitting on this big tree to pass the time, climbed up the tree again, leaning on the trunk with his legs bent and humming a little song. If Hong Xiu saw this scene, he would stand under the tree and yell. "You're not that big black cat over there always climbing up trees." It's a pity that Hong Xiu was sent to Beiguan to check military affairs a few days ago, and it's only half of the journey, so where is the end of the year? Can't be careless.

Changing his sitting position out of boredom, Ye Huizhi pushed his left arm forward and pulled his right arm back, and made an archery movement freely and freely.Before Fei Ye saw his moon-watching bow, he said with disgust that the person with the worst archery skills actually used the best bow. In one sentence, Ye Xiaoye, who had never encountered any difficulties, was deeply hit, and he even lost face. He didn't care to go over the wall in the middle of the night to find his elder brother for advice, coupled with Ji Canghai's guidance and hard work, it doesn't look too bad now, but it is only a lower level compared with Long Xiangwei, let alone A master like Fei Ye.

"Ji Jiu." With a deep and gentle voice, Ji Canghai stood tall and tall under the tree, Hong Xiu was not there, and behind him was the always steady Xuan Ye, holding two exquisite gift boxes in his hands.

"General." Seeing Ji Canghai, Ye Huizhi jumped off the ladder in three steps.

"It's rare to invite Mr. Hong from Yucheng Academy to give lectures on "Six Secret Teachings". He was also very capable as a councilor under General Lin back then. Do you think this kind of opportunity comes every day?"

Isn’t it just Xiao Hong/Sleeve his old man, what’s the matter? Ye Huizhi didn’t bother to listen to those old men talking about tigers and leopards, but he was afraid of Ji Canghai’s scolding, so he frowned shamelessly and covered his ribs, “Oh, My old wound hurts again."

Ji Canghai stared at him with a clear expression, "I didn't see you frowning even when the archer was injured like that. Are you afraid of reading?"

Ye Huizhi used to be not afraid of studying, and he was very good at studying. He fantasized that he would become a great talent or something, and how beautiful it would be to be the number one scholar and the first horse parade around the street. Later, he accidentally found out A young man named Liu Longxiang, facing a pervert who was literate at the age of three and was able to memorize the chapters and sentences of the Four Books back and forth at the age of seven or eight, he held the historical records and read them all day long as a pastime. I went to the Hualou with confidence, and never thought of reading again.

Xuan Ye was afraid that Ji Canghai would punish Ye Huizhi, so he reminded him in a low voice, "General, it's getting late."

Ji Canghai nodded, and asked if you want to go out with me?He saw Ye Huizhi climbed up the tree to look outside the wall again, probably because he was trapped in the mansion for too long and wanted to go out to play.

Ye Huizhi pointed at the gift box in Xuan Ye's hand and shook his head, "I saw that you were going to visit someone, so I won't be detained along with you."

"You're smart." Ji Canghai didn't know whether to belittle or to praise, he said something and then took out his purse, the purse was superbly embroidered, it was made by Liu Longxiang, the number one scholar of the dynasty, Ye Huizhi couldn't bear to look directly at it, Ji Canghai Cang Hai didn't notice anything, just took out some money from the inside and handed it to Ye Huizhi, "Take it and go out to play, don't come back too late."

Ye Huizhi looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, and he was a little slow to react. Ye Jinglan's temperament was outgoing. Although it hurt him, he didn't take care of him in detail. Ji Canghai's care like a spring breeze in a silent place made Ye Huizhi very strange. And it was the first time someone told him not to come back too late, as if someone cared about someone waiting, he was no longer a dispensable thing in the corner, but had a real sense of presence.

Ji Canghai didn't know what Ye Huizhi was thinking, he thought he was just embarrassed to take the money, so he took a step closer and grabbed Ye Huizhi's hand, stuffed the money into his hand, and checked the wound on his hand by the way , said something remember to apply the medicine and strode away with Xuan Ye.Xuan Ye followed behind, turned around and gestured to Ye Huizhi, telling him to go out if he wanted to, and it would be fine. Ye Huizhi nodded, suddenly feeling a sense of belonging to this place.The cooks and aunts here don’t look at him with eyes that are afraid of avoiding him. Although Long Xiangwei here jokes that he is a non-staff, he covers him when he is sneaking, with a look of contempt for him. Even though Ye was mean, he could always point out his weaknesses. Hong Xiu, who laughed and bullied him all day long, was relentless when he urged him to study.

The money Ji Canghai gave seemed to be warm, warming his hands and smoothing his heart, even such a day was not so unbearable for him.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Huizhi jumped back to sit on the top of the tree again, his body was so light that even the floating snow didn't disturb the slightest, the ladder standing beside the tree was just a decoration.Looking out from the tall tree, you can see the backs of Ji Canghai and Xuan Ye, generally straight as a gun, striding along the cold street with a heroic appearance.In the distance, there is the courtyard of the Ye family in the General Zhen Guo's mansion. Occasionally, a few bright lights pass by, and it must be some girl on duty.Today is Ye Zongshi's [-]th birthday. I heard that even the emperor wants to sit down in person to show his favor. Even Ji Canghai, who has always been indifferent to others, personally brought gifts to pay his respects. What a lively scene it will be, his elder brother must be very busy.Ye Huizhi couldn't help thinking that many years ago, it was also such a day. He heard that Ye Zongshi liked to appreciate stones, and he ran all over Quan Chengan's odd toy shop to find a strange stone with a pine and crane pattern the size of a palm. The young owner of the silk and satin village had a fight, and when he showed Ye Zongshi his congratulatory gift nervously with swollen mouth, Ye Zongshi just let out a cold snort and walked away with a dark face, without even turning his eyes to him and his hands. congratulations.From then on, Ye Zongshi's birthday was always the day that Ye Huizhi felt was the coldest day in winter, what coldness could compare to a cold heart?

How can there be no wine on such a good day.Holding the silver in his hand, Ye Huizhi leaped up from the thick branch nimbly, with a touch of his toes, he landed on the wall like a nimble cat, and disappeared outside the wall in a flash.

Fei Ye, who happened to be passing by, was stunned on the spot, and Bai Ye beside him looked at him for no reason, and then looked at the direction he was looking at. Hitting the people around him, Bai Ye asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Fei Ye shook his head with difficulty, "It's okay, I was blind just now."

Bai Ye just came back from the military camp and didn't even have a sip of water except for breakfast. At this time, he was thirsty and hungry and dragged Fei Ye away quickly to let him accompany him to eat.Fei Ye walked a few steps with him, and said that he hadn't remembered to check whether the weapons in the martial arts arena were packed, and asked Bai Ye to go to the big kitchen to find food, and he had to look at it himself, in case there were any omissions, the general I know it is to scold people.Bai Ye said when did the general scold us, but if he didn't scold us, it would be embarrassing to be lazy, you go to the martial arts field first, if you don't go, maybe Aunt Li can cook me more delicious food.

Fei Ye cast a disgusted glance at Bai Ye, then murmured a few more words to beat him away, and when Bai Ye had turned out of the half-moon arch and was no longer visible, he got up and walked to the place where he saw Ji Jiu just now.Moved the high ladder leaning against the tree, and set up the ladder by the wall, Fei Ye climbed up the ladder to look at the high wall, there were indeed two footprints in the thick snow on the top of the wall, he was not mistaken just now, Ji Jiu did Leaped lightly from the tree to the top of the wall, and then jumped out again.

Raising his hand to touch the snow on the wall, Fei Ye's Danfeng eyes were full of doubts. With Ji Jiu's skill, how could he be hit by the general's horse, and even if he really lost his memory, is it necessary for him to hide that he knows martial arts? .Is it a spy sent by another country, or is it the spy of Du Jingsi sneaking in to monitor the court officials, or is there some unknown secret that I can't think of?

I don't know that Fei Ye was already struggling to expose him or not to expose him, and almost pulled his hair off the wall. On the other hand, Ye Huizhi walked aimlessly on the street, weighing the money in his hand and thinking about where to go for a drink.Just passing by the main shop of Jinxiu Silk and Satin Village, Ye Ershao lifted his long legs and went straight into the shop. The store manager had seen Ye Huizhi a few times, and although he didn't know his identity, he knew that he was a friend of the head of the house, and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face. Come over, "Second Master, are you here to choose materials or to find our young master?"

Ye Huizhi swept the beautifully decorated shop. At this time, there was no one in the shop, only two young and beautiful girls were packing up the tea set. They thought it was leftover from the previous buyer. It is even more expensive than the cashiers in ordinary teahouses.Jinxiu Silk and Satin Shop has always sold the best and rarest fabrics. Although there are few customers, who may come to spend money, all of them are big customers of Zheng Qianjin. He remembers that the materials of Liu Longxiang's embroidery are like The cold frost satin sold here, Yu Hong pointed out this kind of material and explained it to him.

"Is your young master not here?"

"I haven't been here today, or you can wait here for a cup of tea, and I'll send someone to look for it in the house."

The shopkeeper had a very good attitude towards Ye Huizhi. For ordinary people, it would be fine if he didn't come back, but there are a few people who Yu Hong has specifically confessed.

"No need, I'm just passing by."

After being sent out respectfully by the silk and satin village shopkeeper, Ye Huizhi started to wander around again. After living in Cheng'an City for so many years, he didn't even want to find anyone to drink with him. Thinking about it, it was really meaningless.First, I went to Baofeng Bank to get some more money, and Ye Erye, who felt full of confidence, went directly to Taotielou. Taotielou has a kind of self-brewed wine called Immortal Drunk. It is refreshing and spicy at the first bite, but the flavor is warm after swallowing. The sweetness is long, and the sense of opposition between one chill and one slowness is indescribably wonderful.This wine is a living sign of the Taotie Building, and it only sells two jars every day. If the two jars are sold out, the emperor will come to buy it. I'm sorry, please come early tomorrow. The price of this wine is naturally too expensive. Ye Huizhi has been coveting it for many years. I am not willing to buy a jar of money to taste it.

In the past, Immortal Drunk would have been sold out at this time, but today is Ye Zongshi's [-]th birthday, and even the emperor came to join him, Quan Cheng'an's most famous officials rushed out to the Yipin General's mansion to celebrate his birthday On the contrary, the number of distinguished guests in Taotie Tower was a little less than before, and there was still a pot left that was not sold.

With a jar of good wine in his arms, Ye Huizhi wandered back to Ji's mansion and prepared to taste it slowly. When he entered the gate, Uncle Li, the concierge, thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out when Ji Jiu went out. Aunt Li is going to bring him some walnuts from the back kitchen later to nourish his brain.
