Chapter II

Speaking of this Ye family in the capital, it is known as the nobles among the nobles, and the scholarly family among the scholarly families, which is said to have taken root in the capital for a hundred years. It can be said that it is a long age, with a deep cultural heritage and a solid foundation, and almost everyone in the world knows it. It's just that this family has always been low-key, and they are loyal to the upper and the lower and kind, and they are usually well-known for their preference for doing good deeds, and the children of the family have never caused a big disaster in the past hundred years, let alone done a thing that oppresses the common people by virtue of their own prestige and power, so the reputation among the people in the capital is still very good.

Of course, in addition to the Ye family's prominent family background and eye-catching power, another place that makes the world talk about it more is the various beauties of the Ye family.

I don't know what the reason is, the genes of this family are so outstanding, it seems that they are born to be a little luckier than ordinary people. The ancestors of the Ye family have been passed down from generation to generation, and almost every generation of clansmen is a first-class beauty. And the next generation in the future will all be green and blue, and the Ye family will be blind from top to bottom. Of course, it also includes Daddy Ye, who is now over half a hundred years old. Otherwise, Ye Jingyuan, the eldest lady of the Ye family, who was beautiful and beautiful, would not have been taken by the prince at a glance, and she became the princess at a young age.

Of course, in addition to the eldest lady and the second miss of the Ye family, the most beautiful among the juniors is the youngest fifth young master, Ye Changsheng. That's really the best young man, anyone who has seen Fifth Young Master Ye can say a decent word to describe him except for staring, regardless of your literati and martial arts, thinking about it, I can only use a few sour sentences such as ice and snow for muscle jade for bone clouds, clothes and flowers, and so on. However, of course, Fifth Young Master Ye will not be happy, no one is happy that a man's appearance is compared to a poem describing a woman's beauty.

The people read few books, and they can't find the right words to describe their little master, but they can be sure that the young master is definitely better looking than the country and the city, and those storytellers are talking about the ten beauties who are rumored to be vulgar people in the martial arts, and compared with the little young master Ye who is like a god descending from heaven with their golden body, it is not enough to see at all.

Every time the young master went out, both sides of Jingcheng Road were crowded with peeking people, and the big guy didn't care what he was doing, he stopped what he was doing, and just stared at others stupidly, hating to keep his eyes on them. Therefore, the Ye family generally does not let their little master go out, and the whole mansion from the master to the subordinates cover people tightly and do not let them go out, who is happy to have their beautiful baby bumps coveted and stared at by those savages outside who don't know where they came from all day long.

This fifth young master of the Ye family is the youngest son of Prime Minister Ye Cheng when he was nearly forty years old, and he has been a baby since he was born, but few people know how dangerous Mrs. Ye was when she gave birth to him.

At that time, Mrs. Ye was already in her forties, and she had already passed the appropriate childbearing age, so this fetus was almost saved with her life, and the fifth young master Ye who had just been born at that time was almost a stillborn, with a bruised face and weak breathing, Ye Fu invited all the famous doctors at that time, and even the imperial doctors invited by the palace to use them, but they were still helpless, and they all said that the child could not be saved. Fortunately, at that time, there was a traveling doctor who passed by Ye Mansion and gave him a hand, so that he could come back from the ghost gate.

The doctor who traveled was very capable, he carefully examined Ye Wushao, although he did not conclude that there was no cure, but it was still a long time before he shook his head and sighed and said that this child is a pity, he has been in the womb of his mother's womb for too long, and he almost died from the ghost gate before coming back, and the cold qi in his body is too heavy, and he may not live to be eighteen years old in the future. Even if he is lucky enough to survive with careful conditioning, he is destined to be sick and painful for a lifetime, and an ordinary wind and cold of ordinary people may be able to kill him.

Therefore, Master Ye specially named Xiao'er "Changsheng", which means "Changsheng", hoping that he will be able to live peacefully for a long time in the future. Since then, Mrs. Ye has been worshipping under the door of Buddhism, reciting sutras and copying various scriptures, hoping to accumulate some merit for her youngest son, so that the Buddha can bless him with good health.

Therefore, Ye Changsheng, who has been frail and sickly since he was a child, has grown up under the care of everyone's care, and has never encountered a thing that does not go well, and no one has ever dared to give him a look, and everyone is almost responsive to the point of being unprincipled. However, fortunately, the Ye family's generous family style is harmonious, but it did not teach a demon king of the mixed world, but pampered a young man who was not only a little greedy, but loved piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and elegant things, and was innocent and cute.

But now, this lowest-key, most well-behaved and obedient Young Master Ye, who rarely appears in front of everyone, is about to leave home, and hundreds of people in the Ye family are very anxious. Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye sat opposite each other in their inner courtyard to wipe their tears, and stood in a circle behind them to shed tears with their female relatives, and they were crying while scolding Master Ye who was kneeling on the ground and humbly pleading guilty.

Old Mrs. Ye's hair had already turned gray when she was old, and she opened her mouth to reprimand while wiping her tears. She is a woman who is shallow and doesn't understand these court things, she only knows that you old men have a good life, but if you are blind, you have to participate in those struggles for reserves, which makes our family chickens and dogs jump, and even the only heart meat has to be sent out to avoid trouble. There are all kinds of dirty people outside, can a child like our little five go out without an accident?

Master Ye smiled dryly and kowtowed again and again to apologize, in fact, he originally planned to send the old lady away together, but the old lady refused to live or die, she was old and had a few years to live, if the Ye family was really defeated, her old bones would also be buried for the ancestors.

Master Ye's two sons also honestly accompanied each other and didn't dare to speak. Just kidding, my mother and grandmother are so angry, don't you want to die when you go up to join in the fun.

But no matter how they make trouble, Ye Changsheng's departure from the house is a foregone conclusion. In fact, after living such a long time, Mrs. Ye understands the current situation like a mirror in her heart, and she also understands what it means to be involuntarily, and now she really can't find any other way to protect everyone, she just can't bear to be a good grandson who has been well-behaved around her knees.

The boss is right, the Ye family, a hundred people, can't all fold here, they have to leave some hope.

――――――

Ye Changsheng set off at dawn the next day, and in order to ensure his safety and daily life, Second Brother Ye personally selected his entourage. Four guards with superb skills and martial arts, two Ouchi master hidden guards sent by the prince, and two big maids and a scholar who have been serving him in the palace, a total of seven people followed.

In fact, Mrs. Ye still felt that there were too few people and wronged her good grandson, for fear that he would be wronged outside, so she always wanted to bring a big girl by her side, but was stopped by Ye Dashao.

Changsheng's whereabouts this time were kept secret, and it was already a bit conspicuous to bring such a few people, and if there were more, it would definitely attract attention. Just bring a few personal ones with you, buy a house at the destination, and spend money to buy a few more.

Ye Changsheng stood next to the carriage in the courtyard, holding the map given by his second brother in his hand, and his beautiful and handsome face was full of reluctance: "Daddy, grandma, I'll leave now." Don't worry, Changsheng will definitely do his best to find the edict intact and bring it back, you must wait for me! ”

Mrs. Ye wiped her tears, and shouted tremblingly, and she couldn't speak, Mrs. Ye hurriedly stepped forward to help, but she also began to shed tears.

The corners of Old Master Ye's eyes were moist, although his face was still as handsome as forty years old, but in fact, his temples had begun to have gray hair, and his eyes were no longer as bright as before, he stretched out a pair of hands that had begun to show his old state and touched the soft hair of his favorite child, and gently admonished: "Dad doesn't ask for anything else, I only wish my son is safe." ”

Hearing his father say this, Ye Changsheng's eyes immediately turned red, he raised his sleeves to wipe his tears, knelt down with a "poof", solemnly kowtowed to the elders and brothers and sisters, and then gritted his teeth and stood up, and got into the carriage without looking back with the support of the maid.

The carriage slowly drove out of Yefu in the first rays of the early morning, like an ordinary traveling merchant's carriage, and quickly mixed with the gradually growing crowd.

Ye Dashao and Ye Ershao stood silently at the gate of the courtyard side by side with their father, watching the inconspicuous carriage disappear from sight until they could no longer see a little shadow. And the ladies behind him have already cried into a ball, sobbing and choking non-stop, why they cry is about everyone knows in their hearts.

Because this goodbye, perhaps, it will really be goodbye.

Sitting in the carriage, Ye Changsheng couldn't stop shedding tears, and he hugged the map given by his second brother tightly in his arms, as if it was all his spiritual support. He was tired of crying, and then he lifted his sleeve to wipe all the tears away, trying to make himself stronger.

"Young master, let's go out of the city." The scholar sitting next to him whispered, he was the same age as Ye Changsheng, and he didn't leave him when he was young, but now he also went out to wander around, and he was also uneasy.

Ye Changsheng was silent, and his hands hidden in his wide sleeves were tightly clenched together. The carriage drove smoothly out of the city, all the way to Changsheng's unknowable and unseen future.

Everyone, no matter what, you must wait for Changsheng to come back.
