p> These turmoil in the court is really out of reach for Ye Fu in Ninghai County, Taizhou, eastern Zhejiang, and Ye Mengding, the former minister of Shaobao, Guanwendian University, Liquan Guan, and Xinguo Gongzhishi, still lives a leisure life of frolicking in the woods, fishing and playing birds every day.

p> But today he didn't go anywhere, sitting in his study looking at a letter that had just been delivered, naturally, this book was written by Ye Yingji, the eldest son of Jingzhong. Ye Mengding looked at the date of payment, it was only three days ago, and after all, such a speed was almost enough to catch up with the military newspaper, so it can be seen that the road conditions in the two Zhejiang places are still good.

p > put aside these details, the content of the letter was not unexpected by him, in the letter Ye Yinghe formally proposed to let him consider Liu Yu as a person, talked about some of his deeds and the current evaluation of him by the imperial court, and of course specifically pointed out the fact that the empress dowager gave him the birth of a fellow jinshi.

p> Although he doesn't have to follow the meaning of the empress dowager, but since the sage has blue eyes, it means that the future of this son is unlimited, and the choice of Luchen who is less than thirty years old is not unique since the Song Dynasty, but it can also be called rare, coupled with his son's words of admiration, he did have a feeling of seeing it with his own eyes.

p> As for the Jinshi background, it was the thing that Ye Mengding didn't pay attention to the most, the reason was very simple, he himself was not a Jinshi background, and he still achieved the peak of Renchen. Now is the time when the country is eventful, and the man's achievements coincide with his meeting, as long as he has talent, he can't get ahead at any time, why bother to hold on to the imperial examination, and looking at the country's situation, the future of the new branch in which day I don't know.

p> It's just that he also knows that it's useless for him to think like this, the times dictate, if he is in Beijing, if there is a imperial examination back then, he will also have to go to other big families to "catch a son-in-law under the list". Because this is not only related to the lintel of his own family, but even his own daughter will have ideas, how can the son-in-law of the prime minister's family not even have a Jinshi background.

p> "Go to the backyard and call Jun Niang and Jing Niang here." Ye Mengding instructed the old servant on the side, he only gave birth to two sons in his life, but there are a bunch of daughters, not counting those who are married, there are currently two people of the right age in the boudoir, and even the age is the average size, only a month apart, although the children are determined by their parents, but he knows that if he is not willing, there will be a disagreement between the husband and wife in the future, it will not be beautiful.

p>Ye Mansion is located in Shangzhai Village outside the county seat, with pleasant scenery against the mountains and waters, because it is built very widely, and there are more than a dozen independent courtyards built in the backyard of the mansion, in which his concubines and children live. As usual, all the children who have grown up can get a share, even the second son Ye Yingyou, who has become a relative.

p> he and his eldest brother Ye Yingji were not born to the same mother, it may be because they are both mother-like, and the two don't look very similar, but if you look closely, there is still a bit of similarity between the eyebrows and eyes. He is only twenty-two years old this year, and although he has already made up for Chao Fenglang because of his father, he has not become a scholar, but has studied hard at home to prepare for the next big competition.

p > the year before last, he originally wanted to go to Beijing to take the exam, but his father said that he had only read the article, and Jia Rudao was in the court, so he stopped him and asked him to marry his wife first, and as a result, nearly two years have passed in a flash, and every time he thinks that his eldest brother can participate in such a big war when he is in Jiankang and has made contributions, he is unwilling.

P> is different from his brother, his ideas are very orthodox, and he is the standard gentleman in this world. Wearing a jade shirt and walking out of his yard, he only brought a small scholar, which was persuaded by his newlywed wife, let him go to the garden after reading, but he couldn't resist her gentle persuasion, so he walked away, and this walk habitually went to the corridor courtyard.

> "Lao Chen, where did you come from?" Could it be that your father wants you to find the thirteenth sister? The old servant had just turned out of a corner and collided with him head-on, Ye Yingyou saw the direction he was coming from, and he guessed in his heart to understand what was going on, but why did Daddy call her, he didn't know.

p> "What's the matter?" You must know, let's say that I know, otherwise I will ask like the thirteenth sister in a while. After the old servant met him, Ye Ying couldn't bear to gossip, pestering him to inquire, reminding the old servant that he liked to pester himself since he was a child.

p > "Erlang don't want to ask the old man, and he can't say it if he asks the old man, it's not that I'm afraid of Shaobao scolding, but it's really that this matter has nothing to do with you, so don't ask more, okay?" In short, it's a good thing. The old servant's mouth was very strict, and he was not moved by him, and as for him to ask others, it was not for him to control.

p > knew that he was going back to resume his life, Ye Yingyou let him go with a smile, the three words "good thing" aroused his interest, looking at the two-story embroidery building not far away, he suddenly thought of something, patted his thigh and walked towards that place with the scholar, the scholar couldn't stop him, so he had to follow.

P> This small building is actually a small courtyard, and there is a sign hanging on the top of the lintel on the door, which reads the word "Zige". There were a large number of maid servants living in the courtyard, naturally all of them were women, and when they saw two men suddenly breaking in, they were not flustered, and they all stepped forward to greet him.

P> "Thirteenth sister, Lao Chen said that you have a 'good thing', but what is it, quickly talk about it and listen to it." Running upstairs with his clothes all the way, Ye Ying's voice couldn't wait to come up, which made the two people in the room on the second floor stunned for a moment.

p> "The second brother is too, a dignified and stable person on weekdays, as soon as he hears about your sister, he becomes like this, this is the so-called 'friendship between compatriots and blood is thicker than water'." The girl dressed as a little girl covered her mouth and laughed, and the woman sitting in front of the dresser also smiled slightly, but a touch of red light flew on her face.

Although > is a sibling, he has been very affectionate since he was a child, and he is already an adult, so he can't really break into his sister's boudoir, and it's already the limit to go upstairs and stand outside the door blocked by the bead curtain. The more this happens, the more it makes him itch, scratching his ears and cheeks outside the door and feeling uncomfortable, where is he still like Sven Shizi who is full of poetry on weekdays.

p > "Second brother, you better go back first, what is it that my father called me, I really can't say it, I expect you to learn soon, thank you brother for your concern, sister saved." A girl's clear voice came out, as beautiful as a yellow warbler out of the valley, and it clearly entered his ears through the curtain.

p> "Needless to say, don't say it, the foolish brother has already understood, so I'll go back, and I'll call your sister-in-law to ask when you come back, haha, go first." "Unspeakable? How smart Ye Ying is, of course he knows what he is conjecture, he actually wants to know which one he wants to know, what is his character, these are more appropriate for women to ask.

p > heard the footsteps of her brother going downstairs, Ye Jingniang looked at the face in the bronze mirror and was slightly distracted, it turned out that she had unconsciously reached the age of leaving the cabinet, but who was the man who was destined to stay with her for the rest of her life, and whether she would treat herself well, a panic rose in her heart, and she couldn't suppress it.

p > study, Ye Mengding watched the two girls approaching each other, he gave birth to more than ten daughters, in addition to the first few have also been taught by himself, most of the latter are only glanced at when they were born, and then they come to ask for peace on a big day, which one is which one at all, and it is impossible to tell what they look like.

p> "Erjun Niang (Jing Niang) has seen Daddy. After the two of them finished the ceremony, Ye Mengding called people up, originally this kind of thing should have been done by his wife, but since his wife passed away a few years ago, he didn't want to think about continuing at this age, as for whether those concubines wanted to pick one to straighten, he hadn't thought about it, so he could only do it himself.

P> "Old Chen Tou has already told you about the matter, this matter is related to your life, and I think that my father should let you know." The man is sought by your eldest brother, and the Father has never seen him, so it is up to you to decide how to choose, and if you do not want to, the Father will not force him. ”

p> "But I don't know what kind of person he is?" Ye Junniang, who was standing at the head of the left, asked with a red face, she was the same age as Jing Niang, but she was a few months older, but as a sister, she was bolder, and she was still a little unbearable on her face, so she lowered her head as soon as she asked.

p > Ye Mengding said what he knew, all of which were written by Ye Yingji in the letter, the only thing that was not mentioned was that he was second, and he could at least serve as a marshal all the way after the merit, and at present, it seems that it is only a seventh-grade straight pavilion.

p > is nearly thirty years old, but it is only a positive seven products, although there is a special purpose of the same jinshi background, compared with the real scientific examination background is still a cut off, this is an era of fame. After Ye Mengding finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Junniang, who had just opened her mouth to ask, only to see that her expression changed and she didn't know what she was thinking, and Jing Niang, who swept aside, was only slightly red, her expression was quite calm, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

p > "Eleven Niang, you are the elder, tell me what you think first?" Seeing that they were not ready to make a sound, Ye Mengding asked by herself, Ye Junniang heard herself, raised her head and kept rubbing the corners of her skirt with both hands, as if she was struggling in her heart.

p> "Back to Daddy, Junniang is still young, and she still wants to serve Daddy for a few more years. The words of refusal came out, and she seemed to be relieved, Ye Mengding didn't care, nodded and then looked at the next person.

p> "Thirteen Niang, what do you say?" Hearing her father's question, Ye Jingniang raised her head unhurriedly, her heart has been thinking about the situation introduced by her father, and what she doesn't understand is that such a person doesn't look outstanding on the surface, why would he be unanimously elected by his eldest brother and father, if it is really so unbearable, it is impossible to live with them at all.

p > eldest brother Ye Yingji is very old, so old that his daughters are older than himself, he has always been a very stable person, no more than his own brothers and brothers when they read books. What is highly recommended by such a person, will he have a poor character and a slim future, and harm his own sister? Thinking of this, she straightened her dress slightly and bowed to the court.
