(794) Take with you who you once were
- After recuperating in the Ye Mansion for almost half a month, and when all the burns on her hands formed hard scabs, Ruan Luo returned to the Song Mansion. β», more ~ new ~ most ~ fast! www.β»There are a lot of Ruan Luo's books in the Song Mansion, and these days he has used the study room in the living room of the Ye Mansion to sort out the accounts, without the assistance of those books, and sometimes he is not used to it.
Ruan Luo left, Shi Yi, as his deputy, also moved the place together, and Mo Ye naturally did not stay. Everyone left, and the two tables that were put together were moved by the family and put back in the storage room, and the living room of the Ye Mansion was much empty, as if there was an illusion that the hall had become larger.
Ye Nuono sat at the table, the elbows of his arms resting on the table, his palms holding the moon upwards, supporting his slightly round cheeks, and his eyes were a little lonely.
When Ruan Luo and his party said goodbye in the morning, she still had a sense of relaxation that "she could rest". But when the room really quieted down, she felt another kind of affection more deeply, she was a person who liked to join in the fun.
Ruan Luo was halfway back to the Song Mansion from Yefu, and he had to go to his dozen shops in turn. This trip is a bit far, but he must go, this recent incident, stumbling him for too long, as a big boss, even if he just goes to the formalities, he can make his subordinate workers feel a lot more at ease.
Taking care of people is a very exhausting thing, Ruan Luo has been in Ye Mansion for half a month, he just left, Ye Nuonuo's heart was light, and he suddenly felt a lot more tired in his mind, and he was a little drowsy in the daytime. So after knowing that Ruan Luo still had to go through so many scenes, Ye Nuonuo gave up the idea of going with the past.
It's just that Ye Nuonuo sat at the table holding his face in a daze, and just took a nap, he was awakened by the singing and cheering outside the door.
"The Divine Decree has arrived!"
Ye Nuonuo stood up and ran out, while secretly saying that he was confused. But before the arrival of the official Huang Chou Seal Saint Purpose, there was a noisy gong and drum honor guard to lead the way, but why didn't he hear any movement just now?
Everyone in the Ye Mansion had already knelt down in the vestibule, and Ye Nuonuo ran to her father and knelt down, and at this moment the thoughts in her heart turned slightly: How long has it been since Ye Zhai received an official order from the palace? In the past, my father had to go to the palace because of something. Most of the time it is a sedan chair coming and going, how can it be as exciting as today?
After the eunuch finished reading the emperor's will, Ye Zhengming announced his acceptance of the decree, and was supported by the extremely respectful hands of the eunuch. Yeno was even more surprised. It's not that she was surprised by the eunuch's respectful attitude towards her father - in fact, there was no one in the palace who was not respectful to Ye Zhengming, this was the supreme honor that the emperor bestowed on Ye Zhengming, even if he was now cut from his post and semi-confined to Kyoto - Ye Nuonuo was surprised by the content of the holy decree, probably to take the Ye family's father and daughter into the palace to live?
Ye Nuonuo glanced at the smiling eunuch, and couldn't see a mystery, so he opened his eyes again, and soon found the carriage parked outside the door. The carriage was obviously there to take her and her father into the palace, but the carriage was too "expensive", with four wheels three feet high and a body five feet high. With double saddles, six copper bells and jade rings hanging beads, indigo tassels, embroidered blue cloud car curtains...... This is the lowest estimate, and it has to be a standard car to pick up and drop off the three products!
Ye Nono withdrew his gaze and glanced at his father's side face again. There was confusion in his eyes.
For no reason, she didn't get carried away so quickly.
But if the royal family is ready to salute first and then soldier, this makes even more sense. Recently, their Ye family didn't mess with the royal family, right? And a few days ago, everyone played cards together, wasn't it quite fun? At that time, the second prince also came, and there was nothing wrong with it, what kind of wind was blowing from this sudden holy decree from the palace?
Since Ye Zhengming retired three years ago. Fu Xian opened a small clinic at home, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, Ye Nuonuo also received some playfulness and began to grow his mind. This is not only because Ye Zhengming has more time to stay at home after he resigns, and he has taught Ye Nuonuo a lot more personally, but also because Ye Nuonuo is now starting to grow into a big girl. Naturally, there will be some changes in the attitude towards things.
Ye Nuonuo raised his face slightly, glanced at his father's side face, and saw that he accepted the holy decree as usual, so he invited the eunuch to the living room, and ordered the servant to serve with tea and snacks. I made a reason to pack up and came out of it.
Ye Nuonuo followed behind Ye Zhengming like a little tail, and when he arrived at the small pharmacy in Ye Mansion, watching him slowly pack up the medicine box, Ye Nuonuo opened his mouth and whispered: "Dad, the emperor didn't say that you went to the palace to treat you, right?" β
Ye Zhengming said casually: "I am a professional physician now, and it is natural to carry a medicine box with me." β
Ye Nuonuo bit his lip and thought for a moment, and then said: "Dad, you have no official status now, should you be careful?" β
Ye Zhengming's hand was cleaning up the medicine box, and he turned his head to look at his daughter who was standing at the table, who had only grown to his elbow, and a trace of surprise slipped in his eyes. But he didn't immediately reveal the surprise in his heart, but soon his eyes calmed down again, and he said lightly: "Watch out for what? β
"I'm afraid of being taken into!" Ye Nuonuo paused slightly, sorted out his thoughts, and then said slowly: "Even if you don't talk about the royal family, let's take ordinary people as an example, if no one in other people's families is sick, and you are invited to come to the house, but you go with a medicine box on your back, you will not be suspicious." That's it, if after you go, someone from another good family suddenly gets sick, it will more or less put some of the responsibility on your head, but it's just the difference between light and heavy, and what you say and don't say. β
Ye Zhengming touched his beard and said thoughtfully: "Nuo'er is thinking very closely." β
After saying this, he continued to sort out the medicine box in his hand.
Ye Nuonuo looked at this scene with puzzlement, her father responded to her words just now, and it seemed that he had accepted her advice, why was he indifferent now?
After a moment's hesitation, she spoke: "Daddy......"
Before she could say one word, she was intercepted by Ye Zhengming: "You have to think about it, but I have a bigger reason to enter the palace with the medicine box." This is not only because I am a doctor, but also because of the word 'handle' that you were worried about. β
Ye Nuonuo had a puzzled look on his face, and he thought silently for a moment to no avail, and then asked bluntly: "What is the 'handle' that my father is worried about?" β
"Who do you say is the doctor in the palace who can worry the doctor?" Ye Zhengming asked rhetorically, and there was a bit of self-questioning in his tone. Then, without waiting for Ye Nuonuo to think about it, he quickly began to explain: "As you thought, if the second prince was originally fine, when we went, he would suddenly be bad again. It is indeed easy for some people to fall into the trap of plague myths. But if this is inevitable, and we are helpless when we go, it will also give people the handle of watching the fire from the other side. β
As soon as Ye Zhengming's words came out, the doubts in Ye Nuonuo's heart suddenly disappeared. At the same time, she suddenly felt a chill rise in her back.
"No'er, in the past three years since my father withdrew from the Taiyi Bureau, your mind has grown a lot, and I am very pleased." Ye Zhengming reached out and touched the satin-like silky hair on the back of his daughter's head, his eyes were full of love, and he said slowly: "But sometimes we think about problems from multiple angles, so that our thoughts will not be blocked." If we think about the results, we are all at a disadvantage. You can only choose the path that has less loss. β
Withdrawing his hand, his gaze drooped slightly, his gaze fell on the half-packed medicine box on the table, and he continued in a tone that gradually became indifferent: "Being thrown by someone to the handle of the plague god is at most a loss of reputation. But if we don't prepare anything. If I go like this, maybe someone will fall into the wrong words, that's really fatal, and even if I still have my previous official body, it will be useless. β
Ye Nuonuo was surprised and said, "It's not so strict, right?" β
"Recently, the palace has not been peaceful, how did the second prince's hand hurt, and the emperor was assassinated outside for something. Although we only know about this vaguely, the palace has not been able to completely block this news, which shows the seriousness of the situation. Ye Zhengming picked up a bottle of medicine, looked at the prescription label on the bottle, and said after a while: "There is no regret medicine in the world, and regret is sometimes a kind of immortal terminal disease." β
"The palace doesn't seem to be as fun as it used to be." Yeno pouted. "Entering the palace is like preparing for war, if it weren't for the holy decree, I really wanted to make an excuse not to go."
"The emperor is a move faster than all of us." Ye Zhengming suddenly smiled, stretched out his finger and flicked the tip of Ye Nuonuo's little nose, "Good daughter." I am very relieved to have my father's temper. It's just that this time you can't let your temper come, you have to go. β
Ye Nuonuo squinted, touched the tip of his nose that was a little itchy by his father's finger, thought about it and said, "Then what should I bring?" β
Ye Zhengming groaned: "There is nothing lacking in the palace, it is enough to bring the former you." β
Ye Nuonuo's eyes became puzzled again, and he muttered: "I am me, are there still two that I can't do?" β
Ye Zhengming said indifferently: "At your age, it has changed a lot when you grow up. Of course, Father is happy to see this, but maybe not everyone can accept your growth, just like many people don't really like my temper. β
Ye Nuonuo let out a low "oh", probably understanding the meaning of his father's words.
After being silent for a moment, Ye Zhengming said again: "Nuo'er, the palace only needs the happiness you bring, not your thoughts. In the palace, only the emperor is a wise man. β
"Got it, Dad." Ye Nono nodded earnestly.
After packing up the medicine box, Ye Zhengming instructed the servants to boil two large buckets of hot water, and the father and daughter took care of themselves separately, and then walked hand in hand and boarded the carriage parked outside the house. Seeing that the Ye father and daughter got into the car, the eunuch who sent the decree also quickly stepped on the back of the horse and led the way in front of the car. He was originally here to pick up people, so he wouldn't stay in Ye Mansion for long, and he would take people into the palace early and make a business early.
Sitting in such a high-grade car, Ye Zhengming looked at the slowly regressing scenery along the way, and suddenly whispered to his daughter beside him: "Nuo'er, when we come back, it's time to increase the price of 'Yiyeju'." When you enter the palace, you have to receive some benefits, even if it is indirect. β
Ye Nuonuo was drowsy in the slightly shaking car, and when he heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and said in surprise: "Dad, the medical expenses of 'Yiyeju' are already very high, and you will raise the price again, don't you worry about your peers gossiping?" β
"You see, when you hear that I am going to raise the price, you first consider the thoughts of your peers, not the thoughts of the patients, which shows that the father's plan is feasible." Ye Zhengming touched his beard and smiled, "Let's parade the streets like this, you wait and see, when the time comes, those big families who come to 'Yiye Ju' will never say anything gossip." On the contrary, if we don't raise the price, the small hospital will really be demolished. β
Ye Nuonuo nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "Speaking of patients, if the price of 'Yiyeju' rises again, I am afraid that patients from not very good families will not be able to afford it." β
"Protect the medical hall first." Ye Zhengming pondered for a while, and then said: "If the medical hall is overcrowded, then no matter which angle we think about, we are completely passive. β
"Oh." Ye Nono nodded half-knowingly.
"Taking care of the Ruan family these days, you are really tired, take a nap, and your father will call you when you get to the place." Ye Zhengming said. He reached out and put his hand on the back of his daughter's neck. Ye Nuonuo did not hesitate, and leaned closer to his father's knee and closed his eyes.
Although I don't know if I will immediately face the saint when I enter the palace, but as a civilian. In the matter of entering the palace, it can be so casual, and the whole of Kyoto is afraid that this father and daughter can do so much.
However, although the eunuch who was riding a horse and slowly leading the way in front of the car turned around and saw this scene, his heart was extremely calm, because this was Ye Zhengming's temper, and he was so presumptuous more than once. And after years of observation by this eunuch, it was found that perhaps there was some past relationship between Ye Zhengming and the emperor, so that the emperor was strict with everyone, but he only opened a small door in front of Ye Zhengming.
There is a ban on the streets of Kyoto, where horses are not allowed to run wild. Commercial carriages that need to enter and leave Kyoto frequently are all on the special road around the city, but this ban has slightly relaxed the official status of a certain level, but this relaxation is generally due to the need to facilitate official business.
It is really rare to have such a privilege as Ye Zhengming today. Don't be too ostentatious. This line of chariot and driver honor guard did not go to the bustling city, but chose a more secluded and less crowded road, which seems to have been arranged by someone before the will left the palace.
However, their ability to avoid it still attracted the attention of two well-intentioned people.
And these two people were also looking for a secluded place to chat privately. Unexpectedly, they took this opportunity to see the guard of honor passing down the teahouse. The two people sitting opposite each other were stunned at first, and then looked at each other and found that they had surprised looks in each other's eyes.
The middle-aged man in Xuanyi on the right side of the window table was the first to speak, and said slowly: "This ...... It's about the car of the Sanpin master, right? β
The young man in Tsing Yi sitting opposite him raised his glass and paused slightly, and did not directly answer the middle-aged man's question, but said slowly after thinking: "I think of a person. β

β¦β¦
A few years ago, Li Gai was just working as a shadow guard for Wang Chi. The venue for his daily practice was set on the hill in the middle of the royal mausoleum. But from that time on, he had already realized that when he was practicing, the energy accumulated in the meridians of his body would often be a little uncontrollable exposed, and the circle of pine trees on the hill close to his practice often shook into bare branches.
Later, he became the commander of the Kyoto garrison. Under Wang Chi's special delegation and authorization, his control over the military forces in Kyoto was simply greater than the norm in previous dynasties. But because of this, the official duties piled up on his desk every day were also extremely heavy, and he had a mountain of official documents, so he didn't have time to run to the hill in the imperial tomb every day. The Commander's Mansion couldn't leave him for a moment, so occasionally he used some leisure time to practice martial arts, and the venue could only be in the courtyard of the Commander's Mansion.
However, because he already had a consciousness on Lingshan, he never used Dawu in the Commander's Mansion after he lifted all the tiles of the four-way house when he practiced in the courtyard of the Commander's Mansion for the first time, and smashed two civil officials who happened to come to the Commander's Mansion to find him something. As soon as he responds to the blade, he asks people to put it away, and occasionally comes out to practice, that is, to pick a flower, or a leaf, and put it in the palm of his hand, so that the energy that is always out of control and exposed is revealed, and he delves into the way of controlling and receiving.
If he just practiced like this, for him, it would only be regarded as a slight movement of his neck bone, and of course it would be okay for the stability of the buildings in the Commander's Mansion.
After several years of unremitting study, Li Gai has now mastered this momentum that is easy to get out of control, and has also summed up some of his own experiences. A few times he accompanied Wang Chi on his trips, and he was able to smash those arrows shot from dark corners with his bare hands, relying on this strength.
But in the past few days, the way he practiced suddenly changed, no longer picking flowers and leaves, but with an extra two-foot high Split Moon Halberd in his hand, and he practiced in the single courtyard in the east corner of the mansion.
Although he had moved out of the study, leaving the study full of case files undisturbed, the environment in the single courtyard in the east corner of the mansion had now become quite bad. The original tile must be bare now, but Li Gai has instructed that there is no need to repair these defects immediately, obviously it is repaired in vain, so don't waste materials.
But at this moment, the guards who were guarding the periphery of this courtyard and extended a distance of ten meters all had another question in their hearts: If the commander practiced like this for a few more days, maybe it would be more than just tiles, and I was afraid that even the courtyard wall would not move and collapse.
Just when a few guards were holding on to the slightly trembling waist knife hilt and thinking this, a trumpet suddenly remembered on a sentry tower in the courtyard closest to this practice courtyard. After a while, the sound of the horn that sounded one breath at a time stopped completely, and the whistling sound of some kind of aura flying and colliding in the single courtyard also stopped, and Li Gai walked out of the courtyard.
When Li Gai was holding a heavy weapon to practice, it was almost impossible for anyone to get close, not because he was afraid of being disturbed, but because people with slightly weaker martial arts could hardly stand firm as long as they were close to him within ten steps. But from time to time, the Consul's Mansion always had affairs that he needed to read and make decisions, so there was such a way to deliver news since a few days ago.
A guard hurriedly walked over, took the ninety-pound Split Moon Halberd from Li Gai's hand, and carried it on his shoulder. On the way to the large council chamber in the middle of the Commander's Palace, another guard handed him a cotton handkerchief that had been moistened with warm water, and Li Gai took it and wiped his face.
As he threw the cotton handkerchief back into the guard's hands, Li Gai glanced at the guard carrying the halberd, and suddenly asked, "Are you on duty today?" β
The guard hurriedly replied: "Guard Rong seems to have a sudden illness today, and when he ate at noon, he fainted while eating, and he lasted until the afternoon, and was finally reprimanded by the head of the palace to go home to rest." At that time, Lord Commander, you had already started to practice the halberd, so your subordinates failed to report in time. β
After Rongshu was transferred back to Kyoto from the four groups of foreign branches due to illness, he first recuperated for more than half a year, and after his illness recovered, Rongshu took up his post from the guard group of the commander, mainly responsible for serving the sword for Li Gai - which is equivalent to a weapon rack with long legs - although Li Gai basically does not use weapons at ordinary times, but there are still some face images of this new guard who has entered the Commander's Palace, because he is inseparable and follows closely.
In fact, Li Gai also knew in his heart that although Rongshu's illness had recovered, his body had been weakened a lot because of this calamity, and he should have recuperated for another three months to recover his physical strength. Therefore, after listening to the explanation and advice of the halberd guard, he waved his hand lightly and said, "If you are sick, you need to rest, and the old butler is doing well, so let's send two more days of leave to Rongshu!" β
The halberd guard hurriedly responded: "Yes!" β
Walking into the big council hall, Li Gai thought that the person waiting for him here was at least a presiding officer of the fifth rank or above, but he only saw a non-ranked, his subordinate Wu Shu, and he was a little surprised.
After sending a few guards guarding the Great Council Hall outside, he asked directly, "What happened when you suddenly came here when you weren't on duty today?" β
Wu Shu carefully told what happened to the Song Mansion.
After Wu Shu's words were finished, Li Gai snorted and said with a smile: "Knowing that I am about to leave Kyoto, I can't help but jump out of any cow, ghost, snake and god." After saying this, he pondered for a moment, and then said to Wu Shu: "Although you are about to be promoted to the head of the fourth group of Beijing departments, the affairs of the Song Mansion have to be entrusted to you to watch carefully in the past few days. β
"Humble duty understands." Wu Shu bowed down to receive the order. After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Lord Commander, do you want to search for that masked woman in the whole city?" β
"I know you have the ability to discern people, but ......," said Li Gai hesitantly, "if you are not completely sure that you will uproot it, you must not startle the snake." In short, if you have the opportunity to see this person again in the future, you will recognize her whether she is masked or not, so you don't have to rush it for a while. β
Wu Shu bowed slightly, knowing that this was the strategy of "putting a long line to catch a big fish", but he was also afraid that if the line was too long, it would get out of control, so he groaned and said slowly: "In case there is an accident in the Song Mansion, how should I deal with it?" Today, she was just chasing that woman, and she summoned more than a dozen killers to fight back in just a moment. It is impossible to estimate how many thieves there are in this group of thieves this time. βββ
