CHAPTER XXXV

On this day, Xiao Jiu rushed over. Ruolian asked enthusiastically, "Feiyang is here!" ”

Xiao Jiu bowed, then gasped and asked eagerly, "Master, why did my master suddenly hand the emperor a fold saying that he didn't want to leave the capital, and he also resigned the emperor's reward, do you know what's going on?" ”

"I don't know why? I also said before that I chose the freesia from Yunnan, and we started to pack up the things, but we didn't go again. You go into the house and ask your master. ”

When Xiao Jiu entered the house, Qiu Tong was giving Ye Xun moxibustion. Xiao Jiu bowed to the two, "Master, little master." ”

Ye Xun glanced up at Xiao Jiu and said softly to Qiu Tong, "Qiu Tong, let's be here today." You go down first, I'll tell Xiao Jiu something. ”

Qiu Tong finished packing up his things, nodded to Xiao Jiu, and went out.

Ye Xun glanced at Xiao Jiu, who was still wheezing, and said, "You came here in such a hurry to ask me about handing the emperor an excerpt, right?" ”

Xiao Jiu nodded, "Yes, Master." Why did you suddenly change your mind? ”

"I feel ashamed of it. So, don't plan to go. ”

"How can you deserve it? You deserve it! I saw the emperor's decree, saying that you have made a meritorious contribution to killing the traitor of the country, the Marquis of Qingyuan, and I hereby commend you. ”

"You can see the emperor's unissued decree? I will not go around the bush with you, but I will ask you, did you do all the beggars in the city who had their hands and feet broken, their eyes gouged out, and their tongues cut out? Ye Xun forced his gaze and said.

Xiao Jiu shook his head repeatedly, "Master, it's not." Master, why do you think I did it? Did Shen Wendu say that I did it? What did he tell you? Why did he leave our house, and you handed the emperor an excerpt the next day? ”

"You're still spying on me? Didn't you take your people from your house? Ye Xun said angrily.

Xiao Jiu hurriedly defended, "Master, it's not me spying on you. How dare I? There have always been secret agents from Dongchang and Jinyiwei around our house, you should know. I didn't arrange it, and I can't do it. Why don't you believe me now? Is it because of Shen Wendu? He's dividing our master and apprentice! ”

"What does it have to do with him? Xiao Jiu, I know that you have done a lot of things for me and this family, but one yard is one yard, if you do such a brutal thing, I can't tolerate it. Originally, our master-apprentice name was very far-fetched, we only stayed together for eight months, and I had very limited things to teach you......"

"Master!" Xiao Jiu knelt down and said with a sad face, "What do you mean by this?" Are you not going to have Xiao Jiu? Master, that incident really wasn't Xiao Jiu's doing. ”

Ye Xun stared at him, trying to see the answer from his eyes, "It's not that you did the best." If you did it, I advise you to stop it immediately and stop being obsessed! ”

"Master!" Xiao Jiu stretched out his hand and said solemnly, "Xiao Jiu swears here, if this matter is done by Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu will definitely cut it with a thousand cuts!" Come to a sticky end! ”

Xiao Jiu made such a vicious oath, Ye Xun had to be moved, "You really didn't do it?" ”

Xiao Jiu nodded aggrievedly.

"Then get up." Ye Xun said with some guilt.

"Master!" Xiao Jiu took a few steps on his knees, "Shen Wendu is too hateful, I can't forgive him this time." ”

"What are you going to do?" Ye Xun's calm mood was stirred up again.

"Master, don't you know what Shen Wendu has done? He doesn't deserve to be your friend at all! ”

"I know it all."

"Huh?" Xiao Jiu looked at Ye Xun in disbelief.

"Actually, I knew that a long time ago. He had his own struggles, he wasn't as smart as you was, and he couldn't think of a better way at the time. And the situation that followed was not something he could control. ”

"Master, he treated you like that, and you are still making excuses for him! If you want me to say, he's jealous of you! For someone like him, it's not a pity to die! ”

"You dare to touch him! I can't spare you! Ye Xun said sharply.

It was the first time Ye Xun spoke to Xiao Jiu so vigorously, he couldn't accept it in his heart, and tears began to roll in his eyes, "Master, what did Shen Wendu do to you?" Are you protecting him like this? Do you think he shouldn't have to pay for what he did? ”

"Xiao Jiu," Ye Xun's voice was much kinder, "Everyone is responsible for his actions, it's not your responsibility, you are not God, do you have to do it for the heavens?" We just need to take care of ourselves and have a clear conscience. You don't understand my grievances with Shen Wendu. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be alive long ago! If you still think that I am your master, you must not harm him, and not only that, but keep him safe......"

Xiao Jiu still had something to argue, Ye Xun shook his head and stopped him, "Xiao Jiu, if you were someone else, I wouldn't care about you, but since you call me Master, I have the responsibility to educate you." You're still young, and you can't see through a lot of things. You don't have much experience, and now you're in a high position, and it's easy to lose yourself. Therefore, you should be humble, see more and learn more, and you should not be brave and ruthless, let alone do unrighteous and cruel things. Ye Xun looked at Xiao Jiu's aggrieved appearance, a little distressed, walked up to him and touched his head, "Get up, don't keep kneeling." ”

Xiao Jiu hugged Ye Xun's leg and whimpered, "Master! Master......"

Xiao Jiu's cry made Ye Xun's heart even more uncomfortable, "I blamed you just now." Master apologizes to you. I'm really scared that you've become ...... like that."

Xiao Jiu sat back in the carriage, and his cronie He Chao said to the person in front of him, "Let's go." He turned his face and saw Xiao Jiu wiping the tears on his cheeks, and he didn't even stop choking, so he asked, "My lord, ...... are you?"

Xiao Jiu smiled sadly, "My master finally promised to leave the capital in a few days." ”

He Chao asked with some confusion, "My lord, isn't it just what your master wants if you don't leave?" Didn't you always want him to go? Why did you persuade him to leave today? ”

Xiao Jiu said quietly, "I was reluctant to let him go before, and I wanted to see him often." But after thinking about it, it was safer to let them stay away from the capital. When they're safe, I'm reassured. Although Yunnan is poor and often plagued by bandits, and the humidity in the south is not conducive to Master's recovery, it is still better than being in the capital. I will send someone to help him arrange it in advance so that they can live more comfortably. ”

He Chao nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "My lord, where is that Shen Wendu?" Don't you say that everything is bad for him? We can't spare him! I heard that he is going to leave the capital again in the next two days. I'll arrange for someone to ...... when I go back."

Xiao Jiuyi waved his hand, "Forget it, leave him alone." ”

He Chao was surprised, "Huh? My lord! Didn't you want to tear him to pieces before? How ...... it?"

Xiao Jiu's expression was gloomy and said, "Master didn't let me touch him, and asked me to protect him thoroughly." Forget it, I can't make my master angry for such an irrelevant person. ”

On the day Ye Xun's family set off for Yunnan, many people came to see them off. The gate of Yefu was not very spacious, with sedan chairs, carriages, people who saw them off, and people who did chores...... It's tightly blocked.

Xiaoxiao had been following Ye Xun and said with a sad face, "Do I want to go with you this time?" Why not let us go? ”

"Xiaoxiao is obedient, when we settle down over there, you can go over. You have so many shops in the capital and the shops at your mother-in-law's house that have to be taken care of, and you have all taken care of them here, and it's not too late to go over. We're leaving, and the capital is up to you. Ye Xun comforted Xiaoxiao like a child.

"But ......"

"Don't. Go help! I'll wait for your daughter-in-law to scold you. Xiaoxiao was taken away by Ye Xun.

Ye Xun saw at a glance that Lu Heng, the teacher next to Xiao Jiu, and Ji Yunhai, the teacher who saw off the passers-by, hurriedly stepped forward and took a deep look, "Teacher! Master! Why are you here? Then he turned his face to Xiao Jiu and complained, "Why did you bring my teacher and master too?" ”

Xiao Jiu smiled and didn't speak.

Lu Heng on the side glared at him and said, "Don't blame Feiyang, we have to come." We thought, this time I don't know when we will be able to meet, so we will come and see you off. You're okay now, but you're ready to be a master! ”

Ye Xun smiled and hugged the teacher's arm, "Teacher, of course I want to see you, aren't you afraid that you will be tired back and forth?" Ye Xun looked at Master Ji Yunhai and said with a smile, "Master, you have been looking good lately!" really responded to that sentence, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, I heard that the master has been promoted two levels in a row? ”

Ji Yunhai also smiled, "I used to count on you every day to have a good future, and the master could follow you to get some benefits, but after waiting for half a lifetime, I saw that people were old, and I didn't look forward to that day, but I didn't expect to enjoy the blessings of my apprentice grandson in the end." ”

"Master, I think it's good for you to guard the city gate there, there aren't so many rights and wrongs."

"Look at your conscienceless appearance, it's better to fly. There are good things to know and think about his master. Ji Yunhai said.

Xiao Jiuyi lowered his head and smiled, "Master, respect the teacher, this is all taught to me by my master." Master, you talk to the two masters first, and I'll go and see if there is anything I need help from my wife. After speaking, Xiao Jiu saluted them one by one, and then left.

Lu Heng looked at Xiao Jiu's back and praised, "What a good child!" ”

Ye Xun said disapprerovingly, "You still praise him? You don't know, don't look at his young age, he is very arrogant, he looks like he doesn't know the height of the sky, you as elders should mention him more. ”

Lu Hang and Ji Yunhai looked at each other, then shook their heads and laughed......

"Teacher, Master, what are you laughing at?" Ye Xun was a little weak by their laughter.

Ji Yunhai pouted and said, "Ye Xun, you still have the face to talk about others!" When you're so old with him, you can't wait to poke a hole in the sky! Your teacher and I are half angry with you every day, you are arrogant like that! I don't know how thick the sky is! ”

"Isn't it?" Lu Heng also said, "Compared with you, people can be regarded as old and serious." You don't know how it will worry me, your master, and your father! I'm afraid of causing a big disaster! ”

"Where am I so bad? It's a bit naughty, but I know it in my heart. Ye Xun argued.

"You've got a fart!" The person who said this was his own teacher, who was a scholar.

Ye Xun couldn't cry or laugh, "Teacher, are you ...... now It's becoming more and more like my master. Move around more in the future. Master, you drink less alcohol, drinking too much alcohol hurts your body! ”

"I also told him just now, your master is so stubborn, if you don't say that you drink alcohol to invigorate your blood, if you don't drink a little wine every day for these years, you might die early. It's really angry with him. By the way, Ye Xun, what is your father like now? Lu Heng said.

"My father is still confused, he always thinks of the pillar as me, and me as his grandson. But the body is quite tough, and I am happy every day, and now I should play with the children in the yard. Ye Xun said, seeing that the princess and the colt were waving to him not far away, he nodded at them.

Lu Heng also saw the princess and the concubine and said, "Your master and I are going to see your father, you can go over and greet the princess and the concubine." ”

Ye Xun nodded......
