Chapter 57: Illusion (13)
As soon as Ye Luo returned to the house with his front foot, Yi Shengnan followed with his back foot.
"Luo'er, Luo'er. "The entire academy can be so eyeless to see, and I can't see that I am in a bad mood and still go up, except for Yi Shengnan, there is really no one.
"What's the matter?" Ye Luo sat down in his chair.
"This is the brush that my father brought to me from Jingshi, it is a rare thing, I heard that this hair is made of things from the Western Regions......"
"Wasn't it snatched by Zhao Cheng?" Ye Luo blinked.
"He gave it back to me the other day and bought me a bunch of snacks. As he spoke, he drew with a look of satisfaction.
...... "Forgot when people beat you?"
"Anyway, I'll give it to you. Yi Shengnan put the brush on the pen holder, and Ye Luo was not pretentious, and accepted it directly.
"By the way, I found what you asked me to find. Yi Shengnan excitedly leaned into Ye Luo's ear and whispered.
"Huh?" Ye Luo's eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a layer of smug light in his eyes.
surnamed Zhao, is the master so easy to fight?
Time flickered, and it was the day of the academy's holiday, and Ye Luo deliberately pulled Yi Shengnan and Du Huaishu to walk behind Zhao Cheng.
Seeing that Zhao Cheng in front of him had already walked to the carriage, Ye Luo hurriedly pulled the two of them to run towards his own carriage, and the three of them ran and climbed into the carriage.
As soon as I arrived at the car, I heard a scream like a pig outside.
"Qingfeng is leaving!" Ye Luo forced a smile and urged Qingfeng to drive the carriage out of here.
"Haha......" As soon as he left the surroundings of the academy, Ye Luo couldn't help laughing anymore.
The two people on the side looked inexplicable.
"Are you crazy?" Yi Shengnan asked.
"Maybe it's crazy, you have to see. Du Huaishu replied.
At this time, Ye Luo had no intention of paying attention to what the two of them said.
Just thinking about the few toothless green snakes in the carriage, Ye Luo wanted to be happy.
surnamed Zhao, is the master a loser?
The carriage was about to enter the city, when Qingfeng in front of him suddenly stopped.
"Arrived home, so soon?" Lifting the curtain and seeing the wild landscape outside, Ye Luo looked at Qingfeng, "Do you want Sister Ziyu?"
Qingfeng blushed and stretched out his hand to the side of the carriage, Ye Luo said the direction of his finger, and then saw an old man with extraordinary bearing standing on the side of the road, looking at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Although Ye Luo is crazy, he still has the spirit of respecting the old and loving the young, when he jumped out of the carriage, walked to the old man and bowed, "I've seen the old man, I don't know if the old man stopped the kid's carriage, what are you doing?"
"You can't talk about it, but there are some questions that you want to help answer. The old man smiled lovingly, looking at the glutinous rice dumplings-like child, his eyes showing love.
"Please. ”
"At the Hangzhou Lantern Festival a few days ago, Xiaoyou met a down-and-out beggar?"
"Yes. Ye Luo replied, a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"The old man wants to know why you brought that beggar to the lamp market, and why you give the credit to another doll?"
"Mother said, talented people have a proud bone, that person would rather starve to death than look at the silver on the ground, even if this pride is not a scholar, it must be an extraordinary person. How can you humiliate him with silver?"
As he spoke, he deliberately approached the old man, and secretly looked at the direction of the carriage, for fear that Du Huaishu in the carriage would hear it.
As for the second question, the kid can only say that the silver is his, and the kid just provides a channel. Without Brother Du's five taels of silver, no matter how talented a person is, it is difficult to show his style without a platform. ”
"You're not greedy for merit. The old man smiled, his eyes filled with appreciation.
Listening to the old man's words, Ye Luo's face suddenly became embarrassed
"If it's not mine, I don't want it. ”
"Thank you, little friend. The old man only felt that his mouth was suddenly opened. ”
Ye Luo looked at the old man in front of him and looked around again
"Where are you going, do you want the kid to take you there?"
"No, no, no. The old man waved his hand again and again, and staggered in the direction of the mountain.
Looking at the old man's back, Ye Luo was thoughtful, and he didn't come back to his senses until Qingfeng called him.
got into the carriage and looked at Du Huaishu opposite, Ye Luo shook his head.
How could that be? It must be a coincidence.
............
Time flies, and two years have passed in a flash.
The sound of reading aloud in Lishan Academy is still the same, but some people are no longer there, such as Zhao Cheng of Zhao Zhixian's family, who did not become famous, so he simply became a son-in-law and messed around. For example, Han Liang of the Han Governor's family fell into Tanhua and suddenly became the son-in-law of the Prime Minister.
Another example is Shen Chengye of the Shen family, who also stayed in Hanlin Academy in high school.
The former little ones have grown a lot taller, but in the eyes of the gentlemen, they are still the same children as they were at the beginning.
"Ye Luo, Yi Shengnan, copy books after school. If you can't finish copying, you are not allowed to leave. Throwing down such a sentence, Gu Qin's mouth left with a smile on his lips.
Ye Luo, who has experienced countless devastation in the past two years, has completely accepted the fact that his table mate has no talent for learning.
Yi Shengnan, who was too lazy to deal with the aggrieved face next to him, calmly opened the book and copied it, not worrying about dinner at all.
Because, someone will send it.
Sure enough, as soon as it was nightfall, the smell of food wafted into the door of the school.
Then a slender figure walked up to the desks of the two people and placed the food box in front of the table.
"It's time to eat. In a gentle voice, Yi Shengnan put down his pen as if he had met a savior, picked up the food box and went to the table next to him, and called Ye Luo as he opened it, "Third brother, come on, your second brother brought you your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs." ”
Ye Luo stopped his pen and looked at Du Huaishu, who was copying the book next to him, and noticed that Du Huaishu, who was watching, also looked back without showing weakness.
"Second Brother Xie. ”
"You're welcome, third brother...... "sister." Du Huaishu made a lip shape, and the person opposite rolled his eyes and threw down the pen and went to Yi Shengnan.
Alas, she had no pressure to bully Yi Shengnan, and it was effortless for her surnamed Du to crush her.
What is that? Yes, one thing descends one thing.
"By the way, I'm going home tomorrow, if you have anything to bring, I'll bring it back to you. Du Huaishu said suddenly.
"Go back to the rabbit?" Ye Luo, who was gnawing on pork ribs, said inarticulately.
Du Huaishu chuckled, "Eat slowly." No one is robbing you. ”
Ye Luo rolled his eyes back.
"A few relatives from Chang'an came to my family and said they wanted to see me. My uncle sent me to tell me that I would go back tomorrow. Do you want to bring anything?"
The other two were eating, and they didn't see the gloom in Du Huaishu's eyes as he spoke.
"Nope!"
"Nope!"
"Hehe!" Du Huaishu looked at the two people who spoke in unison, and shook his head, "You guys, you don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings." ”
"You tell my mother, I'm still alive. ”
As soon as Ye Luo finished speaking, Yi Shengnan swallowed a mouthful of rice and said
"Then you tell my dad that I'm living well. ”
"Hey, don't learn from me!"
"Who learned from you? I can't report my peace?"
"Where's the face!"
"Eaten by you. ”
"I'm ......" Ye Luo buried his face directly in the food box.
Woo woo woo~, I can't live this day, the little fat man bullies me.
If Ye Luo knew that Du Huaishu would never come back after going down the mountain, he would definitely stop him, so that they could still play together,
If she knew that her father went to Du Mansion on the night when Du Huaishu went down the mountain, she would definitely stop him, so that she would not lose her father.
It's a pity that there are no ifs.
A fire in Dufu, a fierce and scorching flame that lit up half of the sky in the city of Hangzhou, extinguished the hope of some people's survival.
Mrs. Ye watched coldly as the officers and soldiers of the Yamen took Ye Qiqing away, her back was straight, and there was no trace of panic on her face.
The officers and men who came to arrest people even thought that they had arrested the wrong person.
However, the one at the door is the sign of Ye Fu.
"Madame......" Mama Qiao walked up to Mrs. Ye and called softly.
"Mom, what's wrong?" the flat tone was more indifferent at the moment.
"The aunts are clamoring to leave. Many of the servants also wanted to leave. Qiao's mother said embarrassedly.
Mrs. Ye watched the last officer and soldier walk out from the gate of the Ye Mansion, and then turned to look at the servants in the courtyard and the aunts carrying their burdens.
"Some of you have followed the master step by step to today, some have an accident at home and have come to Ye's house, and some ......" glanced at the aunts hiding next to her, Mrs. Ye smiled,
"It's because I admired the old man that I arrived at Ye Mansion. No matter which one it is, Ye Fu has never treated everyone badly. In Hangzhou City, I Ye Liu's family dare not say anything else, but the treatment of people in the house is the second in Hangzhou City, and no one dares to call it the first. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd, some lowered their heads weakly, and some people still looked calm and unmoved.
"Madam, the master has been arrested, the evidence is conclusive, the young master is still young, it won't help if you say anything, right? The Ye family's business is not as good as before, even if the Ye family's business is big, there will be a day when the mountain is empty. If that day comes, not only us, but also you will have nothing to eat. We are small people, we just want to beg for food, and the big reason is not to starve. A young man said in the crowd, and the next child moved the minds of many of them.
Mrs. Ye looked at the little girl with a smile on her face, "I don't say this to keep everyone. It's just that I want to tell you that after leaving, your path may not be better than staying in Yefu. Let you be prepared. ”
"Now, if you want to leave, you can go to the account office to pay two months' worth of silver, which will be used for future use. Aunts too, the soft hand ornaments that are praised on weekdays can be taken away. ”
As soon as the words ended, many people discussed with each other.
"Madam, I'm sorry, I still have an old lady to support at home, so ......" bowed deeply, and a little girl wiped the corners of his eyes and left.
"I'm sorry ma'am. ”
"Ma'am, I'm sorry. ”
"Madame......"
“......”
One, two, three...... Finally no one moved anymore.
Mrs. Ye looked at the four little maids and the two maids in the courtyard, and her heart was slightly sour.
"You ...... Why don't you go?"
"Madam, the slave is picked up by the master from the pile of the dead, as long as the slave is in one day, he will saddle the horse for the lady for the other day. ”
"Minions too. ”
"Slaves too. ”
“......”
Mrs. Ye looked at the strange little girl who was still standing in the yard and smiled slightly,
"What about you, aren't you leaving? ”
"Tut-tut, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that you, Mrs. Ye, would have this day. God is fair. The little guy looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, proudly and rampantly.
Suddenly, there was a pain in his back, and the little guy stopped laughing and hurriedly dodged.
"You...... You ......" rubbed his waist while pointing to the four housekeepers with sticks next to him, and the little guy said hello a few times.
"Yes, yes, wait and see, a bunch of lost dogs!"
"It seems that I can't be beaten enough~" Mrs. Ye rolled up her sleeves, picked up a wooden stick at hand, and was about to beat the little guy.
The housekeepers in the courtyard followed, chasing after the little maid and beating him indiscriminately.
"Crazy, crazy, crazy!" shouted the little guy as he fled, very clear in the silence of the night.
After driving away the troublemakers, Mrs. Ye turned around and looked at a few people in the yard, and said with a smile, "You really don't want to leave?
A gust of wind blew, but no one moved.
"Mom, close the door. ”
The vermilion gate made a dull and rhythmic sound every time it moved, and the people in the courtyard watched the familiar vermilion gate gradually close, and watched the scenery outside gradually disappear, and a different kind of emotion suddenly rose in their hearts.
Mrs. Ye blinked her eyes and held back the sourness in her eyes.
The door closed, and Madame Ye sat down on the steps and called a few servants to her, "Come here." ”
Several people looked at each other and walked up to her hesitantly.
"Master, you are wronged. Now I don't have proof, but I'm definitely not going to do nothing. If you choose to stay, it means that you have feelings for the Ye family and the master. ”
"Now, before you is not a lady, but a wife, a mother. I assure you, even if I can't win and the Ye family is defeated, but with me to eat, I won't lose a grain of grain for you. ”
The autumn nights are cool, but the moon is round and bright, enough to dispel the gloom in people's hearts.
Everyone dispersed, and Qiao's mother helped Mrs. Ye up, and found that the lady with a calm face was already soaked.
"Madam, Lao Ding and I will not leave. Qiao's mother said distressedly.
"I know. So I didn't even ask. Mom came with me, and Ding Bo grew up watching the master, why are you willing to leave. It's like your roots, and I'm not going to let it go away. ”
The two of them talked as they walked, and when they came to the backyard, they heard the sound of a sigh of soot.
Immediately, he raised his vigilance, looked for the direction of the sound, and came to the flower room.
Then I saw a familiar figure.
"Miaofu, is that you?" Lady Ye called.
The figure in the flower room paused, turned around and curtsied
"I've seen Madame. ”
"You...... Why didn't you leave?" Mrs. Ye was a little surprised, it stands to reason that this Miaofu is the most deserving of leaving, she was brought back by the master when she went out a few months ago, and she didn't have time to round the house yet. I'm only 18 years old this year, so it's a good time.
