The official road of the farmer

Chapter 236

The vicissitudes of the imperial court, for Ye Junshu who closed the door and devoted himself to living his own life, even if it doesn't matter, it has everything to do with it.

The entire household department has been rewarded, and Ye Junshu's is also indispensable. Apart from material rewards, although the official position has not changed, it may be possible to go further in the evaluation next year.

By then, he might become the youngest minister in Tai'an years.

Since ancient times, there have been several geniuses in almost every dynasty, and those who are more powerful than Ye Junshu are innumerable.

Ye Junshu can only be regarded as more than enough.

In fact, strictly speaking, Ye Junshu's ability is not as outstanding as those amazingly talented people.

Ye Junshu was able to occupy a high position at a young age mainly because of the right time, place and people. Now he is backed by the Li family, and later Emperor Tai'an wants to balance the power. Coupled with his intelligence, he has risen so fast.

Otherwise, if he lacks something, even if he has a smooth official career, he won't be promoted so quickly.

Just like those talented people, not all of them have smooth official careers.

But luck is also a kind of strength.

When Ye Junshu came back, he found a strange palace man in the mansion.

After another look, Ye Junshu knew that a distinguished little guest had come to the house.

Ye Junshu didn't have much contact with the seventh prince Xiahou Xuanjing, but the children in the family played well with him.

I used to look at the older brother who was relatively stable among his peers, but when I saw him again, there seemed to be some depression between his brows.

The children seemed to feel that Xiahou Xuanjing was unhappy and were comforting him in their own way.

The childish appearance and childlike fun of children are really funny, and the smile on Xiahou Xuanjing's face has never stopped.

Seeing Ye Junshu's return, Xiahou Xuanjing greeted Ye Junshu's master politely: "The Empress asked me to visit Brother Yu here, I need to bother Brother Zizhou for a while."

After Ye Junshu saluted, he smiled all over his face and said, "You are very welcome."

Then he added: "The children in the family haven't seen the Seventh Prince for a long time. If you stay longer, everyone will be happier."

Xiahou Xuanjing's eyes softened for a moment when he thought of the twins.

Li Yu said: "Go and play with the children, don't accompany me."

Xiahou Xuandai looked at Li Yu and Ye Junshu, then at the children who couldn't sit still, and then put down the cup, "Then we'll go out first."

Ye Junshu waved, "Go, go, have fun."

After Xiahou Xuanjing led the children away, Ye Junshu stepped forward and held Li Yu's waist intimately, "Why is the Seventh Prince here?"

Li Yu took advantage of the situation and leaned over, and relaxed to distribute part of the weight to Ye Junshu, "The empress is worried, let the seventh prince come and have a look."

Of course, this is just a superficial rhetoric. Although there is a reason for this, it is not the most important.

If you just look at Li Yu, you won't have a long-term posture.

I don't know how Empress Li persuaded Emperor Tai'an to let the seventh prince live in a courtier's house.

Now the expanded guest house has been packed up for the Seventh Prince to live there temporarily.

As soon as Li Yufu came back, the news that he was pregnant with the child could not be concealed, and everyone inside and outside the imperial court knew what the harem should know, not to mention other people's reactions.

Queen Li was really surprised and happy when she heard the news.

The joy is that his elder brother Yu finally has a baby!And it's twins!Those wives and elder brothers who laughed at Brother Yu in private for not being able to have children were slapped in the face when they heard the news, and Empress Li felt extremely relieved.

To my surprise, my stomach was so distended that I couldn't hide it after I came back. It has been four months!

Doesn't this mean that when Li Yu was pregnant with the child, he ran around without any scruples!

You don't take your body seriously!

If it wasn't for Li Yu being inconvenient to enter the palace, and Empress Li also not being able to leave the palace, he would give Li Yu a good word.

Of course, the rewards from the palace flowed continuously to the Ye family.

In the end, he still felt uneasy and asked the Seventh Prince to visit him in person as a representative.

Ye Junshu was a little strange, "Why is the seventh prince looking at it, and his thoughts are much heavier?"

Li Yu said indifferently: "After all, I'm too young, I'm thinking about it for a while."

When Ye Junshu heard it, he understood it after thinking about it.

They had a far-reaching perspective, and they didn't have much feeling about the matter of the eldest prince and the second prince becoming king.

But the seventh prince, as the only son of the empress, is different.

According to the traditional concept of clan, he should be the most legitimate heir.

But the royal struggle is so cruel, basically none of the sons-in-law can succeed in ascending to the throne, and almost all of them are pulled down by their own brothers, and the end is quite miserable.

The Seventh Prince is not yet an adult, and has no qualifications to enter the court to listen to the government. The title of the king is only for the adult prince, so naturally he does not have his share.

Seeing that the eldest prince and the second prince have even more prestige at home and abroad, and now they still have real power, the seventh prince naturally became anxious.

Ye Junshu could tell that the Seventh Prince also had a wild desire for the throne.

A prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good prince, that position is too tempting, no one can easily let it go.

Ye Junshu felt relieved that it was much easier to assist an ambitious prince to rise to power than to help a muddy prince to rise to power.

Of course, the premise is that this ambitious prince has the corresponding intelligence and strategy, otherwise it will be even more dangerous.

So far, Ye Junshu is quite satisfied.

As for the unsatisfactory part, isn't this young?You can also tune and teach well.

Ye Junshu thought about this, and said: "The seventh prince will figure it out."

The Seventh Prince was annoyed that he was too young to do anything, but he didn't know that this was his greatest advantage.

Now Emperor Tai'an is increasingly feeling the threat from the grown-up princes, and he is bound to regard him as a thorn in his side.

Only the young prince would not make him feel threatened.

As the only son of the middle palace, the Seventh Prince has a natural advantage in itself. Even if he does not fight or grab at this stage, he still has supporters. No matter how powerful the First Prince is, it will only let those delusional attempts to escape from the power of the dragon and the grass on the wall. Lean over.

The staunch supporters of the royalist faction will not waver so easily, and there are also those neutral factions who do not stick to either side, and there is also the lurking Li family lineage.

Those conservatives only support direct descendants.

These are the forces of the Seventh Prince in the future. No matter how prosperous the Ming family is, these entanglements cannot be underestimated. The Seventh Prince doesn't need to think too much now, he just needs to protect himself and grow up safely.

Ye Junshu touched Li Yu's stomach: "Is the child still making trouble today?"

A few days ago, Li Yu vomited whatever he ate, but he was so worried that he almost grabbed his hair.

Fortunately, this symptom didn't last long, and Li Yu recovered his appetite. Correspondingly, the child became very lively.

Li Yu shook his head, with a slight smile on his lips, speaking for the children: "The children are very good."

"If you don't behave well, wait for them to come out and spank your ass." As soon as Ye Junshu said the threatening words, his stomach under the palm of his hand was kicked again and again.

Li Yu looked at Ye Junshu with dissatisfaction for a moment, this is not born yet, and you want to beat the child?

Ye Junshu: "..."

He coughed lightly, "If you're obedient, I'm still reasonable."

The second day after Xiahou Xuanjing stayed here, Prince Yun Xiaoshi, who hadn't appeared for a long time, also ran over.

After all, he is a grown man, and there are a lot of big and small brothers in his family. It is not convenient to come here when Ye Junshu is not at home.

When Ye Junshu specially invited Xiahou Xuanjing to entertain him for a while, Xiao Shizi came running.

Basically, he went back to the house with his front foot, and came with his back foot.

The timing was so accurate that Ye Junshu felt that someone must have tipped off the news in advance.

Ye Junshu remembered that he had asked for leave today, and he casually mentioned it at the dinner table last night, and subconsciously looked at Brother Lu.

Brother Lu also went out in the morning, and came back around noon.

Ye Junshu's initial doubts were overwhelmed by the children's cheers.

"Brother Yun! You're here too!"

Brother Jing and Brother Qin ran over to warmly welcome Xiao Shizi.

Brother Jing pulled Ye Junyou over again, and introduced, "Brother Yun, this is our third brother, third brother, this is Brother Yun."

Ye Jun has practiced more courageously, and now he doesn't stutter when he sees big shots, and politely shouts: "Brother Yun."

Xiao Shizi is also very friendly to Ye Junyou, obviously he has heard a lot about him.

Then he casually took out a jade pendant with cloud patterns, "Come on, brother will give you a meeting gift."

Ye Junyou looked at Ye Junshu, seeing that he didn't pay attention to this side, he didn't know whether to accept it or not.

Brother Lu smiled and said, "Third Brother, just accept it."

So Ye Junyou accepted it, "Thank you, Brother Yun."

Seeing the children laughing and chatting around Xiao Shizi, it seems that they often play together.

Ye Junshu thought that sometimes the children would mention that when Ye Junshu and Li Yu were not at home, Xiao Shizi would often take the children out to play.

Because they were not the only children in the family, Ye Junshu didn't think much about it.

As long as the principle is not violated, Ye Junshu will not prevent children from making friends. They will judge the character of their friends themselves.

Xiao Shizi smiled and said to Ye Junshu: "Brother Zizhou, when will you hold a banquet so that the third brother can get to know people?"

Xiao Shizi is not at all outside.

The children of the Ye family are playful and interesting, he really likes to play with the brothers of the Ye family.

After getting to know the Ye family brothers, he stopped collecting and admiring beauties.

Xiao Shizi is a bit of a face control, but the children of the Ye family are all very good-looking!

Although the appearance is somewhat similar, but on closer inspection, it is exquisite and delicate, cute and cute.

It was Brother Lu who ruined his pockmarked face...

But as a good friend, Xiao Shizi will not dislike him.

He has been with Lu Geer for a long time, and he also thinks Lu Geer is very good-looking, much more beautiful than those cute little brothers.

The outside world is curious about the Ye Jun brought back by Ye Junshu and Li Yu.If it wasn't for being a little older, they would have suspected whose illegitimate child it was.

But Ye Junshu didn't hide it from anyone, it was publicized by the Ye family, Ye Junshu fell into the river and was washed to a strange place, it was the child who rescued him back.

Coupled with the fact that the child was lonely without a father or mother, the Ye family brought him back.

When Ye Junshu heard Xiao Shizi's words, he felt that it was reasonable. The little guys in his belly were dishonest a few days ago, and Ye Junshu didn't have the heart to think about other things when they made trouble.

It is indeed time to invite close friends over and formally recognize the relatives.

Otherwise, what if outsiders think they don't value Xiaoyou?

Can't let him be wronged.

Ye Junshu knows that people who hang out for a long time are the best at watching dishes.

Ye Junshu said: "It should be. We will inform you after we have chosen a date."

When Xiao Shizi heard it, he was immediately happy, and promised: "I will definitely be there." He likes excitement the most!

Xiao Shizi enthusiastically proposed: "Do you want to hire a team? I know some good ones..."

Ye Junshu refused without thinking: "No need, Ah Yu doesn't like too much noise."

Ye Junshu is only going to invite people close to him, probably no more than three tables, to get together and introduce, and then chat, that's about it.

After Ye Junshu was named on the gold list, he spent less time with relatives and friends.

I have been an official for more than two years, returned to my hometown twice, and went on business trips twice, each time for two or three months. After I came back, I was busy with work and my own family affairs, and there was almost no time to meet with friends .

Ye Junshu didn't want to lose his relationship with his friends.

Xiao Shizi thought of Brother Yu's special physical condition, so he gave up.

"Go, I'll take you to play!" Xiao Shizi led a group of children away quickly like a king of children in front of a group of children.

The children also bounced happily and followed behind.

Ye Junshu looked at Xiahou Xuanjing, "Aren't the seventh princes going?"

Xiahou Xuanjing was about to shake his head when Brother Jing, who had been going back and forth, ran over, took Xiahou Xuanjing's hand and left, "Seventh brother, let's go play together!"

So Xiahou Xuanjing took advantage of the situation and left.

Ye Junshu and Li Yu walked around the yard casually, not knowing what they were playing, and could vaguely hear their laughter.

"Aren't you not used to being so noisy at home?"

Li Yu has always been quiet and quiet. There are many people in the family, and there are still a group of big and small children. Isn't the world turning upside down?

Li Yu shook his head, "It's okay." He quite liked this kind of excitement, it wouldn't make people feel impetuous, but he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Fearing that the children would not pay attention to the surrounding environment when they were having fun, Li Yu didn't join in the fun.

Li Yu said: "I'll go back to the house and lie down, you go and watch them."

Although Li Yu didn't have morning sickness anymore, apart from eating so much that he became hungry quickly, he also had obvious symptoms of lethargy. He went to bed early at night, only woke up in the morning, and had to take a nap in the afternoon.

After the doctor looked at it, he said that there was no problem, it was a normal phenomenon, and Ye Junshu was relieved.

"I'll take you back."

"Ah."

Ye Junshu sent Li Yu back to the room, and after watching him fall asleep, he left someone to look after him at all times before going out to find the group of children who had gone somewhere to play.

I'm afraid that if he doesn't pay attention, he will stab the sky.

**********

Most of Ye Junshu's attention after work was on Li Yu and the child in his stomach, but the other children were also very concerned.

Because there are many children in the family, every night is lively and lively.

Ye Junshu saw that Ye Junyou had adapted to the life at home, played with the children a lot, and became lively.

She was raised at home well, and at last she wasn’t as skinny as a refugee, with some flesh on her cheeks. She had never grown tall, and recently she tended to grow upwards.

Ye Junshu would not let the children ask for leave from school every day just because they want to accompany the Seventh Prince and Young Prince Yun who came here almost every day.

He only let the children rest for two days, and those who should go to school should go to school, and those who should go out should go out.

Ye Junwei went to the Imperial College, Brother Lu went to manage the store, Brother Qin and Brother Jing also had classes.

The Seventh Prince and Ye Jun were not interested in playing with those rowdy children, so they stayed by Li Yu's side.

Ye Junshu looked at Ye Junyou, and said, "I'm going to look for a teacher these few days and come back. If you have time, you can familiarize yourself with the book first. If you don't understand, you can ask your brother or find me."

Ye Junyou also arranged a separate small courtyard, with a study room and other facilities, and he did not treat him badly.

Fortunately, when Ye Junshu rebuilt the mansion, he built a few more independent small courtyards, otherwise it would be difficult to live in if there were too many children.

The child hadn't learned a few words since he was a child. Ye Junshu considered that Ye Jun was too old to be sent to the academy's enlightenment class, so he planned to invite another teacher to come back and teach alone. After he had a little foundation, he would send him to the academy.

In this way, you can also meet peers and make more friends.

But what surprised Ye Junshu was that Ye Junyou actually said that he didn't want to study.

Ye Junshu didn't make a tough decision right away, but asked softly, "Can you tell me why?"

Ye Junyou was actually ready for Ye Junshu to be angry. Unexpectedly, the elder brother was still soft-spoken, and he was greatly encouraged: "I want to be like Brother Lu, helping the family and earning money to support the family."

Ye Jun feels that the new family is so good, he has delicious food to eat every day, beautiful clothes to wear, and close and friendly brothers. He also wants to contribute to the family.

Otherwise he would be really sorry.

Ye Junyou felt that he had received so much without giving anything at all. If he didn't do anything, when he thought about it in the dead of night, he was still quite uneasy.

He also wanted to do something for everyone.

He is older than Brother Lu, and Brother Lu already manages many shops and farms, how powerful!

He is not as good as Brother Lu, but he is strong and can earn money by doing odd jobs, um, to buy delicious and fun things for his younger brothers.

Ye Junshu didn't get angry after hearing this, but continued to ask: "Then how are you going to make money?"

"I can do odd jobs!"

"Then how much money can you earn a month doing odd jobs?"

"This..." Ye Jun hesitated.

During this period of time, I have seen a lot, and Ye Jun’s concept is no longer tens of hundreds of copper plates, but tens of hundreds of silver or even more.

"An ordinary servant in our family costs two taels of silver a month. Do you think you can earn that much a month?"

Ye Jun hesitated, two or two...

He looked at his small body, and felt that two liang was too much, he couldn't sell himself to be someone else's servant, could he?

This would embarrass the Ye family and the Li family.

"What else do you think you could do?"

"If you are a coolie, why do people use you instead of those strong adults? If you are a mistress, will you be given a recipe? Do you know how to greet guests?"

Ye Junshu ordered a few jobs that might be easy to find, and asked them one by one.

Ye Jun's entire face was wrinkled into a ball.

He can't do it.

"So, how do you make money?"

"me……"

Jun Ye is at a loss for words.

"Besides, you only see Lu Ge'er helping the family with things, but he started enlightenment with me when he was only five or six years old, and what he learned is worse than anyone else, and the reason why Lu Ge'er does things is mainly to learn from housekeeping, other All that can be learned has been learned, and now it is just practice."

"As for you, you don't know a single word, even if I give you a shop for you to manage, do you understand the account? Do you know how to buy and ship goods?"

Jun Ye was downcast, extremely discouraged.

Ye Junshu rubbed his head, "You are still young, don't be in a hurry, when you grow up, your elder brother will support you in whatever you want. But you have to remember that you should do whatever you want at any age, and don't dream of growing up overnight. You can do what adults do, otherwise it will be very easy to end up with nothing.”

Ye Jun said in confusion: "Then what should I do now?"

"What you should do now is to study hard, strive to enrich yourself, and grow into an excellent and capable person. In this way, when you grow up, with the corresponding ability, you will be able to do whatever you want What."

"I understand!" Ye Junyou's gaze changed from confusion to firmness, "Brother, I was wrong, I know what to do."

"I will study hard and be an excellent person. I will definitely not embarrass you."

Ye Junshu was afraid of putting too much pressure on him, so he comforted him instead: "No matter what happens to you in the future, as long as you are worthy of yourself and others, you can make big brother proud."

Ye Jun nodded heavily, his eyes bright.

"I'm going to read and practice calligraphy!" Ye Junyou bid farewell to Ye Junshu and the other two, and ran away in a hurry.

Ye Junshu and Ye Jun had a conversation and didn't avoid people. Xiahou Xuanjing was also at the side. He wanted to avoid people, but Ye Junshu didn't seem to avoid people at all, so he just sat there. He was also curious how Ye Junshu would persuade someone Children who do not want to go to school.

Compared with other domineering elders who speak directly, Ye Junshu's discussion-style conversation can be accepted by the children.

Although the final result is to go to school, but there is a difference between going willingly and being forced to go.

What Ye Junshu said also fell into Xiahou Xuanjing's ears.

The more you listen, the more thoughtful you become.

When Ye Jun left and only Ye Junshu and his wife and Xia Houjing were left, Xiahou Xuanjing stood up and solemnly bowed to Ye Junshu, "Thank you, Brother Zizhou."

Ye Junshu avoided it in time, and pretended to be stupid: "Why did the seventh prince thank you? I hope that the seventh prince will not lose his status, I can't bear it." The seventh prince is a king, he is a minister, how can a king salute his ministers?

Ye Junshu clasped his hands and said, "I have some time now, I'll teach the little ones how to read." Then he left quickly.

All the children in the family were enlightened by him, so naturally one should not favor one over another.

Xiahou Xuanjing exhaled foul breath, he smiled at Li Yu and said, "Brother Yu, your vision is really good!"

Regardless of appearance, he can be regarded as above-average, and he is devoted to Brother Yu. What's more important is that his temperament and intelligence are even more rare and precious.

Li Yu nodded, his eyesight was excellent.

If Zizhou is not good, he will not like it.

Xiahou Xuanjing felt that Ye Junshu's words were not only for Ye Jun to hear, but also for himself.

Xiahou Xuanjing is not stupid, why can't he hear it?

Xiahou Xuanjing saw that the elder brother and the second brother were both named princes, and it was indeed a dead end.

But what Ye Junshu said made him enlightened.

Indeed, what Ye Junshu said was right, one should worry about one's age at any age, thinking too much would only make oneself feel bad.

Just like him now, he is still young, unable to enter the court to listen to the government, unable to influence the decision of his father, and unable to compete with the elder brother, he thinks too much, which makes himself feel uncomfortable.

It might as well be like what Ye Junshu said, he might as well learn more and make himself a better person.

When he grows up, he will have enough ability to fight for whatever he wants to fight for.

Xiahou Xuanjing thought of the empress' concern for him some time ago, and suddenly couldn't sit still, "Brother Yu, I want to go back to the palace."

He lived in Yefu for five or six days. Although no one in the palace came to urge him, the empress must have been under pressure. Xiahou Xuanjing could no longer cause trouble for the empress.

Empress Li's life in the palace was not going well, now that the eldest prince and the second prince are crowned king, the mother is more expensive according to the child, and their concubines are also rising with the tide.

The people in the palace are the most powerful, and they feel that their palace will lose power sooner or later, so they naturally favor the high and trample the low.

Xiahou Xuanjing didn't want Empress Mu to face it alone.

Li Yu looked Xiahou Xuanjing up and down for a moment, then nodded, "Say hello to Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, and Empress Empress for me, so that they don't have to worry about me. When I feel better, I will visit them in the palace."

Xiahou Xuanjing nodded, and not long after, she asked the palace servants to pack up their things and rushed back to the palace.

After Xiahou Xuanjing left, Ye Junshu breathed a sigh of relief. Although Xiahou Xuanjing was just a child, after all, he was his ruler, and they were ministers.

After staying here for a long time, he can't treat him as a simple child. It's okay for a day or two, but after a long time, he always feels a little uncomfortable.

The only people who are not affected are the children, and they still feel sad when they learn that the Seventh Prince has left.

But thinking that they were all in Beijing, there was still a chance to meet each other, so they quickly forgot about it.

Now that Ye Junyou has been persuaded, Ye Junshu has started to invite the husband.

There are a lot of enlightenment books at home, and now Ye Junshu knows a lot of people, and he will be able to find Mr. soon.

If you only teach enlightenment, the teacher may not be very good, but the character must be good, not too pedantic.

Ye Jun has a very smart child. If he can finish the enlightenment book next year, he can be sent to the academy in the second half of the year.

Ye Junyou has not been here for a long time, Ye Junshu is not going to take him to the Imperial College, the children in those places are very cautious, he is worried that Ye Jun will be bullied, and with his temperament, he will definitely worry about getting into trouble and dare not talk to them explain.

Ye Junshu planned to send him to Yuezheng Academy in the second half of the year. The academy Ye Junwei had been to before had a good environment, the teachers and students were very good, and it was easier for Ye Jun to adapt.

Ye Junshu and Li Yu discussed their plans, and Li Yu had no objection.

However, before Ye Junshu invited his husband, an old friend was ushered in at home.

After October, there were two cool rains. Although the weather turned fine again, the temperature in the morning and evening has begun to cool down, so you need to wear a thin coat.

On a sunny afternoon, a young man in Confucian uniform ushered in the closed gate of Ye Mansion.

He hesitated and took a look outside, as if he was not sure.

At last he knocked on the door.

Soon the concierge opened the door, looked at the person, and asked politely: "Who are you looking for, young master?"

"Excuse me, is the owner of your mansion surnamed Ye and named Jun Shu?"

"Yes."

"I'm from Ye Family Village, named Ye Junzhi, and I'm here to visit."

When the concierge heard this, he immediately said enthusiastically: "So it's Master Tang, please come in quickly, the master and wife have been talking about you these days!"

Ye Junshu received a letter from Ye Junzhi a few days ago, and he has already left for Beijing.

Calculating the distance based on the departure date in the letter, Ye Junzhi's arrival will be in these few days.

Therefore, Ye Junshu told the people in the house early to pay more attention, lest anyone who is not good-looking offend his younger brother.

The servants in the mansion had kept it in their hearts long ago, and now that he finally came, they were naturally very enthusiastic.

Ye Junzhi participated in this year's township examination, and barely made it to the list.

Now he is the second Juren in Yejia Village.

When Ye Junshu contacted Ye Junzhi back then, he had already made it clear that regardless of whether Ye Junzhi was on the list in the provincial examination, he would come to Beijing. Now Ye Junzhi has really come.

This is the capital of Daxia, and the new imperial examination will be held in the next year. During this time, I have gradually felt that there are more and more students outside, and the literary world has become active again.

Ye Junzhi will benefit a lot by staying here and communicating more.

Ye Junzhi was not at ease. Although he knew that Brother Zizhou was already a fifth-rank official, and he also formed a contract with the third son Li of Zhen Guohou, it was no longer the same.

But I didn't expect that Brother Zizhou's house was already a dignified official residence, more strict and strict than the big family he had seen when visiting friends before.

Even the servants walking by looked different.

A few years ago, they were children of the same village, but now their identities are very different...

The more Ye Junzhi thought about it, the more nervous he became, and he didn't know what he was nervous about.

The servant leading the way here said enthusiastically: "Master has not yet returned from his business trip, but the wife, two young masters and a young master are at home. The wife has already explained that when you come, you will go directly."

The servant brought Ye Junzhi to the living room, and then the two servants served tea and snacks, "Master Tang, please wait for a moment, Madam will be here soon."

"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."

"Master Tang, you are being polite, this is what a young person should do."

Not long after Ye Junzhi sat down, he heard someone approaching. He stood up quickly, straightened his sleeves, and then turned his head.

Accompanied by Momo, a tall and slender guy who wore loose clothes that didn't cover his pregnant belly came over.

Ye Junzhi was stunned for a moment, then bent down and saluted respectfully: "Student Ye Junzhi, I have seen my wife."

Ye Junzhi has been away from home for a long time, and Li Yu went back to Yejia Village twice, but he has never seen Li Yu, and he still doesn't know that Li Yu is pregnant with a child.

Li Yu frowned inconspicuously at Ye Junzhi's address, and then said lightly: "My family members are not polite, just call me elder brother. Everyone in the family calls you Xiaozhi, right? I'll be cheeky and call you that too gone."

Ye Junzhi hurriedly said, "Yes, brother."

He was relieved in his heart. Ye Junzhi thought that brothers from rich families didn't like poor relatives very much. Even in the letter he received from home, he could see that Ah Mu was full of praise for Brother Zizhou's husband, but after all Seeing is believing, ears are believing.

That's why Ye Junzhi didn't dare to call brother directly at the beginning.

He was also afraid of causing trouble to Brother Zizhou.

Ye Junzhi thought, this brother doesn't seem easy to get along with, but he seems to be a nice guy.

"sit."

Ye Junzhi sat down on the seat below.

Li Yu also sat down, and he said to Ye Junzhi: "Aunt Ming often talks about you in front of me, now we have met..."

Hearing his brother's familiar tone to his mother, Ye Junzhi knew that they got along very well, and felt more relaxed.

Thinking of my father and mother at home, I still feel a little sad.

Ye Junzhi said embarrassingly: "Brother, you went back to the village twice, but I was not at home. Last time, my family sent me a letter, but..."

Because the journey was too long, there was a delay in going back and forth, and the country test was coming, so Ye Junzhi didn't go back.

"There are many opportunities to meet, but the future is more important."

Then Li Yu said again: "Originally we planned to take a detour to see you on the way back to Beijing, but it rained for several days on the way, which delayed the journey, so we didn't go there."

Ye Junzhi naturally said, "It's important to go back to Beijing."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Li Yu only saw that he was carrying some snacks and gifts in his hand without any baggage, so he couldn't help asking: "Where's your luggage?"

Ye Junzhi replied: "I rented a house there, and I rented a small yard with a few friends. The environment is not bad..." He planned to live there for a long time until he took part in the examination next year.

Because of his lack of cash, Ye Junzhi couldn't rent a separate small yard and share it with others.The price is generally only a little higher than that of a single long-term rental hotel room, which is still acceptable.

Ye Junzhi just took the extra money to buy a quiet place. After all, the inn is full of people, and it is not convenient for them to review their homework.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu immediately said: "There are many rooms at home, so why live outside, it's inconvenient and not safe."

Then before Ye Junzhi could speak, he prepared to have someone pack up his luggage.

Ye Junzhi wanted to refuse, but when he saw his brother's face down, his aura was terrifying, and Ye Junzhi couldn't resist.

When someone asked the address, he said it dryly.

Ye Junzhi sipped his tea with a bitter face.

He didn't want to stay at brother Zizhou's house, he just came to visit, after all, he hasn't seen the Ye family brothers for a long time.

"Brother Zi Zhou won't come back from work until evening, Brother Lu is out, Xiao Wei and other younger brothers are studying, and they won't come back until evening..."

"You must be tired after traveling all the way. The yard has been tidied up at home, so go directly."

Li Yu's belly was bulging, and he sat down for a while. After arranging people, he went back to the main courtyard to walk around.

The domestic servant who led Ye Junzhi was a quick-witted boy of sixteen or seventeen, about the same age as Ye Junzhi.

This boy's name is Sanfu, and the first two children, Dafu and Erfu, are the sons of the Li family. The whole family followed Li Yu here, so they are absolutely trustworthy.

"Master Tang, during the time you are at home, I will take care of you, but if you have anything to do, just ask the little one."

After Sanfu introduced himself, he introduced the environment and structure of the mansion to Ye Junzhi.

Then it mainly introduced to the courtyard where Ye Junzhi lived.

"Knowing that you are coming, the uncle and his wife specially chose this yard.

The environment here is quiet and quiet, which is the most suitable place. The uncle also told the servants not to come here if they have nothing to do, so as not to disturb your homework. Of course, the younger one is to serve you personally, so it is naturally different..."

"This is the master bedroom, and over there is the study room. The uncle specially brought all the books that are useful for the imperial examination that he often reads here. Feel free to read them. The uncle also said that if there are any books that you want to read that are not here, He will find it for you."

San Fu knew that this young master Tang was not good, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was already a Juren, so he took advantage of it and focused on introducing the study.

Ye Junzhi was very moved when he heard that, he didn't expect Brother Zizhou and Brother Mo to be so attentive to him, and they didn't take their relatives seriously just because they were already prosperous and rich.

He was ashamed of thinking wildly before he came.

As soon as Ye Junzhifu arrived in Shangjing, he came to look for Ye Junshu and the others just as he found a place to stay.

When he was in Yongzhou, Ye Junzhi did not deliberately say that he had a close cousin who was an official in the capital.

Later, when he was admitted to Juren and came to Beijing with his friends, he was excited for a while and accidentally slipped his mouth.

Immediately, the faces of the others were a little different.

They originally got together because they were from poor families, but only then did they find out that Ye Junzhi still had such a strong backer.

Ye Junzhi felt uncomfortable when he noticed that his classmates and friends had different attitudes.

Some people who were originally equal to each other unwittingly flattered him, while others gradually drifted away.

But there are also some people who often whisper in their ears, saying that sharing adversity is easy, sharing wealth is difficult, how many people from poor backgrounds will not recognize their former relatives once they become prosperous.

Even though Ye Junzhi felt that Brother Zizhou was not such a person, he was a little shaken when there were too many people talking about it.

After all, we haven't seen each other for many years, and even if we exchange letters occasionally, we don't know what the other party has become.

Before Ye Junzhi went out, he rejected the friends who wanted to come out with him, and left while the other people watched the show faintly.

They seemed to think that they would soon see Ye Junzhi's desperation after being kicked out by his so-called relatives.

In Ye Junzhi's heart, he was actually gambling. There was another reason why he couldn't muster up the courage to refuse just now. He wanted to let those people see that his relative and brother Zizhou were not the kind of person they thought.

Ye Junzhi stood in the study room, looking at the bookshelves full of books and full of books, feeling extremely guilty.

He thought that when Brother Zizhou came back, he must apologize to Brother Zizhou, it was because of his villainous heart.
