- In the study, across the other side of the bookshelf, Ye Nuonuo put on a somewhat scoundrel-like face, which was already half-hung on one of Ye Zhengming's arms.

Ye Nuonuo, who was holding his father's arm, grinned and said, "Dad, do you like boys a little more, or do you like girls a little more?" ”

Ye Zhengming's face changed. Looking at his daughter's very bad face, he was reluctant to blame, so he could only sigh in his heart, and then slowly said: "When your mother just gave birth to you, her body was extremely weak and she was about to die, but she told me with joy on her face at the time, saying that fortunately the firstborn was a daughter, do you know why she said that?" ”

Yeno shook his head.

Although Ye Nuonuo has very little memory of his mother, the mother and daughter are connected, and hearing his father mention his mother who died early, Ye Nuonuo's mood suddenly became a little lower.

Yeno often heard her father talk about her mother, which made her often have the illusion that she was not far away from the day when she would have a mother. And as she grew up year by year, she gradually felt her father's longing for her mother, and the loneliness that penetrated deep into her bones.

Ye Nuonuo was very grateful and moved by her father's love and attachment to her mother, so she also had a trace of fatherly love looming in her heart, and looked forward to finding a husband who was infatuated with her in the future.

She also couldn't bear to see her father often keep this kind of lonely memories of the past, but she was afraid that her father would really continue the strings and she would get along with her stepmother.

Fortunately, on the day Ye Zhengming led Xiaoyu back to his home, he made it clear that he would not continue the strings. This made her finally get rid of that kind of contradictory trouble, completely put her heart at ease, and loved her father more, hoping that the loneliness in his heart would be less because of her company.

In Yenono's memory, when his father used to think about his mother, he would only say some things that his mother had done before, but today his father asked her about what his mother had said, which was the first time he had done it.

Ye Nuono didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and she really couldn't come up with an answer to it in her heart.

Ye Zhengming didn't expect his daughter to answer this question. In fact, it was precisely because he knew that his daughter could not know the answer that he brought up the matter. In order to achieve the purpose of guiding and educating her.

"Your mother said. My daughter is well-behaved and won't cause trouble for me. But in fact, I can probably guess that she really wants to say more than this. When Ye Zhengming said this, he didn't know if he remembered something that tugged at his heartstrings. He suddenly closed his mouth and fell silent.

His gaze wandered over the teacup on the desk. Finally, it landed on the tea-soaked notebook. Ye Zhengming's gaze gradually froze, and then he suddenly continued: "Actually, she knows that she won't live long, if she can only give birth to a child for me." Naturally, it's good for the daughter. That way, even if she dies soon, I don't have to worry too much about her not being able to take care of the children and that I will have too many burdens. After all... The daughter will not stay in her parents' house for long and will get married. ”

Yeno observed his father's gaze. I was still nervous about my father's fixed gaze, did I see the strangeness on the poster. After all, the amount of a cup of tea is not enough to wet the entire copybook, and at the edge of the copybook, there can still be one or two lines of handwriting that have not been affected by water stains, which can be seen to be different from their own handwriting.

However, when Ye Zhengming's words came to the back, Ye Nuonuo's heart moved, and he couldn't help but feel slightly sour in his heart, and temporarily forgot about the cheating he was nervous about.

Seeing that his father stopped speaking after saying this, Ye Nuonuo thought for a while and said, "Because my father often remembers my mother's virtuous lady, if I could follow my mother's temperament a little more." Father, of course, will be pleased. But now that I follow my father's temperament, you shouldn't be sad, because many of my classmates in the female school have said it. Daughters are more blessed to be like their fathers. I don't know if the classmates who said this are because they look like their fathers, so most of them are not beautiful, so they will think of this way to shirk it, but you have to be glad father, even if I inherited your temperament. It's not a complete inheritance, otherwise if I become a prodigal son like my father, then you should have a headache! ”

Ye Zhengming looked at his daughter in a daze, he was still a little sad just now because he missed his deceased wife, but in a blink of an eye, the suppressed emotions in his heart were beaten by his daughter's words, and his face became a little crying and laughing, and he sneezed out a cute girl to read the full text.

"Ahem... When my father was young, he was indeed a little unruly. But that was when he was young, and the young man's blood and qi were used to acting impulsively......" Ye Zhengming suddenly paused as soon as he said this, and then stared at Ye Nuonuo and said, "Where did you go to find out about this?" ”

"Hey! There's no need to ask. You know. I was not very popular with the other classmates at the girls' school, so they didn't hide much from me and about you. At Kyoto's No. 1 Women's School, my father is not the only one who reports on his work in the court, so naturally there is no shortage of people who know some of your past 'anecdotes'. ”

Yeno stretched out the index finger of his right hand. Hooked his fingertips and gently scratched the side of his face that was a little itchy, and continued, "I upset them." It's my fault, too, but they can't think of a way to fix me—they... Often, it's only my share - that's why they say 'Ye Zhengming's anecdotes' to others. Actually, what they said about your experience is not a big deal in my opinion. It's nothing more than how you used to spend money without moderation, have no intention of inheriting the family business, and are lazy in your studies... Belch... I also like to linger in the flowers and things like that. ”

Ye Nuonuo's fingers scraping her cheeks suddenly froze, she turned her face slightly, stared at her father's eyes and asked in an important tone: "Father, did our family really have a lot of money before?" ”

"Hmm." Ye Zhengming didn't hide this question, but he didn't explain it in detail, but just nodded a little casually. It seems that now, no matter how the world changes, the Ye family is no longer prosperous, and the pride in Ye Zhengming's heart has not diminished in the slightest for the glory of the family in the past.

This also indirectly shows that the statements transmitted in women's studies sound a bit exaggerated. It may not be distorted by hostility, but it seems to be all true.

Ye Nuonuo was naturally aroused by his father's default nod of curiosity that had been pent up for a long time.

In fact, she heard much more rumors about her father in the women's school than her father told her about the Ye family's past. In the past, Ye Nuonuo was busy with the affairs of the women's school, and she was also a little annoyed that her father always liked to lecture her at the same time when she was talking about some things in the past, so she rarely took the initiative to ask about these, and she really didn't have much spare time to discuss these things with her father.

Now, I don't have to go to a girls' school, and my father has the idea of quitting the Taiyi Bureau. It doesn't seem to be a joke either. If things go through like this, then I will be living with my father for a long time in the future, so today seems like an opportunity. Father talks about the past. It should be more unreserved than usual.

So Yenono then asked, "I heard from others." In the past, the wealth owned by the whole family was accumulated, even if the father and the next three generations of children and grandchildren were lying down and enjoying. It's also endless. I also heard that our Ye family from the generation of the old man did not want to study and take the examination, and gradually made money outside the northern country, even so, the old man still insisted on maintaining the relationship with the officialdom to maintain the relationship between the well water and the river water, and was praised as an immortal businessman by the people in the business world. I didn't believe it before, but now you're nodding your head, father, alas! ”

"Nowadays, my grandfather's ideas were wise and far-reaching, but when I was younger, I only used his words as an excuse to avoid studying." Because of his daughter's words, he remembered some past things, and Ye Zhengming said a meaningful sentence.

After that, he looked at Ye Nuonuo, and then said, "Where did you hear these things?" It's not as simple as ordinary gossip. ”

"I don't remember exactly. Don't listen to what I've said at this time, in fact, in the past few years of women's school, I have heard this news in total, which is not much......" Ye Nuonuo's eyes gradually lit up again as she spoke, obviously another thought sprouted in her heart at this moment.

Sure enough, I saw that she quickly paused, turned the conversation and asked, "Dad, did something happen to our family before?" I don't see any relatives in our family, oh no, it seems that there are no relatives at all! However, this can also explain that you did not inherit the business business, but became a doctor. It's just that...... Abandoning business and practicing medicine, such a loss-making thing is not like a wise choice after Jujia. ”

Ye Zhengming did not answer this question quickly. He lowered his eyes slightly and pondered, as if he always had concerns about whether to answer his daughter's question now.

After a long period of deliberation, he raised his gaze and swept the teacup on the table, and said slowly, "Xiaoyu was here just now?" ”

Ye Nono looked at his father's gaze, and his heart instinctively trembled. Ye Zhengming's words took a sudden turn, which reminded her of the crisis that she had just ignored for the time being.

While secretly comforting herself and saying, "It's okay, it's okay, my father just asked casually", she tensed her heartstrings and replied with a humble appearance: "Xiaoyu carefully soaked the jasmine spring tip you like to drink, but unfortunately you happened to be there just now." ”

Ye Nuonuo didn't know that he had made a big mistake by just saying this sentence, which caused Ye Zhengming to re-examine everything in the study while doubting the authenticity of her words. And when he examined it this time, the attitude he upheld was no longer a dispensable doubt, but a justified doubt.

Jasmine Spring Tip? It was indeed tea that Ye Zhengming had been accustomed to drinking for more than ten years, so how could he not smell a trace of this familiar smell in the study? And with his good sense of smell for medicinal herbs that he had cultivated over many years of medical practice, it was not difficult for him to sniff out the smell of two other compound medicines in the study.

Mo Ye had taken the decoction prepared by Liao Shi for five consecutive years, so that her physique had begun to change slightly. Ordinary people with a keen sense of smell can smell a hint of medicine in her breath when they are very close to her, but a doctor like Ye Zhengming is more sensitive to the experience of this hint of medicine, just like an experienced chef can smell it from a bowl of clear soup.

As for the smell of the other medicine...... After someone ate a board yesterday, the servant who went to rub the medicine and cook for her in the Ye Mansion in the evening was ordered by Ye Zhengming, and the medicine that can quickly scab over the flesh and flesh was also prepared by himself, for this, Ye Zhengming is of course very familiar with it.

It's just that Xiao Yu didn't forget to take the opportunity to come to see Ye Nuonuo with his injury, which was expected by him, but Mo Ye, the kid, also came, why is this?

His eyes swept over the tea-soaked notebook on the table again, and Ye Zhengming suddenly understood, but as soon as he thought about it, he was a little confused.

He retracted his gaze and looked at his daughter again, his straight gaze unconsciously fixed on her, and he felt incredible in his heart, and secretly doubted: But I have only met a few people, that is, I can help you copy books and cheat? Noir, now you have such magical powers? Or am I thinking wrong?

Ye Nuonuo didn't know what her father was thinking at this time, she looked at her father's gaze at her, but gradually felt that it seemed that his lie had been exposed by him, but the strange thing was that he didn't get angry? Or are you thinking too much? His stunned look was just because he was attached to the past and temporarily immersed in it?

At this moment, the father and daughter in the study secretly guessed each other together, and questioned their own judgment at the same time. There was a sudden silence in the study, neither of them said anything, but they could feel the strangeness of the atmosphere in the room at the moment.

After the two looked at each other and were silent for a while, Ye Nuonuo finally made the first move, preconceived to take the calligraphy on the table and handed it to Ye Zhengming, and said with a smile: "Dad, how about you look at the words I practiced?" Although I accidentally got wet with tea, I can still tell that I am writing very seriously, right? ”

Yenono's smile was full of anticipation, but in fact, her scalp was tingling.

"Well, it's a lot neater." Ye Zhengming quickly replied, and there was a slight compliment in his words, which greatly satisfied the deliberate expectation in Ye Nuonuo's eyes.

However, because Ye Nuonuo's performance is too realistic, and Ye Zhengming doesn't know that Mo Ye has that ability, and he can preliminarily imitate Ye Nuonuo's handwriting, that is, he can simulate it to this extent in a very short time, so he who was still questioning his daughter just now now has some doubts about himself again: Could it be that he really blames Nuo'er for his preconceived ideas? Is this kid really starting to change his mind and study hard?

Seeing that her father agreed with her 'progress', he didn't say anything else. Ye Nono's heart breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this proactive move has a good effect.
