Not long after Ye Xun returned to his residence, Xingwang came over with two little eunuchs. Ye Xun greeted him, "Xingwang, do you have any will for the emperor to come here at this time?" ”

"Alas, Lord Ye, you have offended the emperor miserably. The emperor ordered the miscellaneous family to send you and Mrs. Ye out of the palace immediately. ”

"Now? It's getting dark. Ye Xun looked outside and said.

"It's now! Hurry up! The emperor can say that if you don't leave the capital before dark, don't want to leave here in this life. ”

"Let's go, then. Xingwang, do you think I need to kowtow to the emperor and say goodbye to him? Ye Xun suddenly stopped.

"Oh, my lord, don't go. The emperor said he didn't want to see you again. When I see you, I don't get angry! You go and make the emperor angry. Isn't this the life of our minions? Xingwang said with a frown.

"As for it?" Ye Xun bowed his head and said.

"Let's go, I won't be able to get out of the city tonight."

Ye Xun and Xingwang and others went out of the palace gate, and a carriage was already waiting at the door, Ye Xun and Xingwang got into the carriage, but saw that Pan Ruolian was already sitting in the carriage. Ye Xun was a little embarrassed, but he just nodded at her, and he didn't dare to look at her anymore.

The carriage sped along. Xingwang in the car said respectfully to Ruolian, "Mrs. Ye, the miscellaneous family has heard of you for a long time, and I am fortunate to have it today, you are really a heroine!" ”

"Grandpa Cui has won the award." Ruolian said a little shyly.

"You're welcome, ma'am. I have Master Ye and I..."Xingwang glanced at Ye Xun, "There is still some friendship, and Madame doesn't need to see the miscellaneous family." ”

Ruolian smiled and said, "Ye Xun is really lucky to have a friend like you, he must be in the palace these days without your care." ”

"Madam, although I have some friendship with Ye Xun, I am only loyal to the emperor alone, and if the emperor does not allow miscellaneous families to do anything in the palace, I will not dare to do it anyway."

Ye Xun didn't have the heart to listen to the politeness of the two people there, so he opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out, the sky outside was already dark, and seeing that the scenery outside was gradually becoming desolate, he asked, "Xingwang, where are you going?" Could it be that you want to send us straight back to Hangzhou? ”

Xingwang turned to him and smiled, "You think beautifully!" The emperor said, go out of the city to find a secluded place, just throw you down. ”

"Throw it down? We're all big creatures! How does it feel like talking about two objects? Ye Xun muttered.

The emperor's exact words. Not only that, but the emperor also specially ordered that you should be searched before getting out of the car, and you should not take anything valuable from you. ”

"This ...... It's too ruthless, isn't it? How can we go back to Hangzhou without horses and entanglements? Just walk back on a pair of legs? But we also have to eat? Ye Xun argued.

Xingwang said unhurriedly, "Be content, man!" You're all full-shot now, and you've not been beheaded or hurt. That's a lot of gratitude. ”

Ye Xun looked at him, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Ruolian hurriedly said next to her, "Yes, as long as the person is good, nothing else is a problem." We have hands and feet and can still starve to death on the road? ”

Ye Xun nodded in recognition, "Okay." I'm done, right? ”

Xingwang shook his head, "How can it be that simple? ”

"Why isn't it over yet? Emperor...... It's too grudgeful. ”

Xingwang said with a straight face, "Don't be rude to the emperor!" ”

Ye Xun hurriedly nodded apologetically, "Xingwang, what will the emperor do next?" ”

"The emperor said that in a month, you should go to Hangzhou no matter what method you use, and then the emperor will issue a holy decree to announce the final punishment for you."

"Huh? What crime will the emperor punish me? I thought that was the end of it? You have to be careful. ”

"So you have to pray every day so that the emperor doesn't encounter any troubles and tricks during this time, and maybe the emperor will pardon you as soon as he is in a good mood......"

Xingwang was talking, and the little eunuch who was driving the car reported, "Grandpa Cui, it's here." ”

Xingwang looked at the two of them, "Okay, you have to say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, and the miscellaneous family can only send you here." Please take out all the valuable things on your bodies, so that we don't have to do our own searches. ”

Ruolian hurriedly took off her hairpin ring jewelry, Ye Xun took a few pieces of jewelry from Ruolian's hand and handed them to Xingwang, leaned over to him and whispered, "Xingwang, this can be given to you, so that you can go back to your life." Will you lend us some money? ”

Xingwang hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, afraid that the little eunuch outside would hear it, and said softly, "Don't dare, don't dare!" I've got a few heads! Hurry down! ”

"Xingwang, you see that it's so dark, and you can't go to the village and can't go to the store, what do you want us to do tonight? Or give us the horse. ”

"Ye Xun, if we pester us again, we can only throw you down according to the emperor's original words!"

"Good!" Ye Xun got out of the carriage first, and then helped Ruolian get out of the carriage. Just as he was about to say something, he saw that the carriage had turned around and galloped away. Ye Xun looked at the carriage that was walking away and scolded, "You still say that you have a friendship with me?" Run so fast, I'm afraid I'll rob you! ”

Ruolian looked around in horror, only to see that there was no light around, and only shadowy trees could be seen in the dark night. "Where is this?"

"I don't know." Ye Xun told the truth. "Maybe it's the suburbs of Beijing or the border of Hebei? The problem is that this wilderness is so dark that we can't even tell the difference between the east and the west. ”

"Won't you just stay tonight?" Ruolian heard a strange scream, and hurriedly wrapped her hands around Ye Xun's arm, "What do you call it?" There won't be wolves here, right? ”

Ye Xun was a little hurt by her, and the main thing was that he was awkward, so he said: "I'm not afraid of wolves, I have me." You...... Release your hand first. ”

Ruolian also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly let go of her hand, but she was worried that she would be separated from Ye Xun in the night, so she quietly grabbed the hem of Ye Xun's clothes, "Next, what should we do?" ”

Ye Xun glanced at Ruolian, at this moment she was like a helpless little girl, judging by her usual arrogance. Ye Xun couldn't help but smile in his heart, but on the surface, he said seriously, "We should find a family to stay in first, and then arrange the itinerary when it is dawn tomorrow." ”

"I can't see any Mars in these four places, where can I stay?"

"I'll climb the tree and take a look." Ye Xun lifted his shirt and climbed up the tree, and not long after climbing, he stopped moving, "You let go of your hand." ”

Ruolian realized that she was still tugging at the corner of his clothes, and Ruolian quickly let go of her hand. Ye Xun quickly climbed up the tree. Ruolian looked up under the tree and could no longer see Ye Xun on the tree. She couldn't stop looking around, her heart beating wildly, "Ye Xun, do you see someone's house?" ”

"Not yet."

"You say...... If a wolf comes out at this time, will you have time to come down from the tree to save me? ”

Ye Xun couldn't hold back his laughter on the tree, her current appearance made Ye Xun, who had been bullied by her for so many years, feel extremely happy. Ye Xun deliberately said, "Don't worry." I'm sure I'll be able to come down before the wolf eats you all. ”

"You!" Ruolian was about to have a seizure, but she felt a dark shadow behind her and behind the tree. In special times, she has to endure it! She closed her eyes and hugged the tree.

"Don't be angry, ma'am, I'm kidding. Alas? I seemed to see a light in the distance. It's over there. ”

Ruolian couldn't see the direction Ye Xun was pointing, and she said in surprise, "Is it?" That should be a household, right? ”

"That's not necessarily the case, this wilderness may or may not be a ghost fire." After Ye Xun finished speaking, he couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth. In order to scare others, you owe it, aren't you afraid of yourself? Ye Xun thought that if the light in the distance was really not a family, but ...... Ye Xun shook his head and freed himself from these terrible thoughts. When he heard that there was no sound under the tree, he said, "It must be the family's right, so I'll go down and we'll go and have a look." ”

Ye Xun came down from the tree and was a little embarrassed when he saw Ruolian's rare quietness. He gestured in one direction, "Over there." It's not far away, but you still have to walk for a while. Let's go. ”

Ruolian nodded 'um' and followed closely behind him.

In the deep night, the two of them walked one after the other, and neither of them spoke. It was very quiet all around, and occasionally there would be a 'rustling' sound in the grass next to it, and whenever this happened, Ruolian's heart would rise, and she quickened her pace and leaned closer to Ye Xun. And Ye Xun is actually a little hairy in his heart, but he must not show it, especially in front of this person.

Ye Xun thought about saying something, the atmosphere should be better. He thought about it for a while, and asked what he had been wanting to ask today, but he never had the opportunity to ask, "Madam, you... Why did you suddenly come to sue the royal court? ”

"I... I don't want you to be wronged. Ruolian said vaguely, "You are the pillar of the Ye family, if you break, won't the whole family collapse?" ”

Ye Xun was a little crying and laughing, "When did you treat me as the pillar of the family?" Why didn't I feel it? Seeing that Ruolian didn't answer, he continued to say, "Who gave you the idea?" Also sue the royal court! What do you think? Do you know that the sue is to roll the nail board? ”

"I know."

"You know?" The more Ye Xun spoke, the more excited he became, "If you roll over the nail board, you will have a bloody hole, can this person still want it?" ”

"I can't do that much."

"Do you think you're great at doing this, and I owe you a debt of gratitude? I'm telling you, you're stupid enough to hurt yourself, and you won't save me! I didn't have any major events, but the emperor's anger disappeared, and it passed. But today I almost jumped from the castle tower to save you from disobeying him. Do you say you're not ...... enough?"

"Ye Tianyu!" Ruolian finally couldn't help but burst out, "Are you a little too much!" ”

Ye Xun reflexively took a few steps back, thinking that a storm was coming, but he heard Ruolian's choked voice. Ruolian wiped a handful of tears and said, "Yes, it's me who didn't do enough!" I deserve it! I just really rolled the pegboard, and I did it myself! ”

Hearing Ruolian crying Ye Xun was a little at a loss, he immediately realized that what he had just said was too radical, and he hurriedly apologized, "Madam, I'm sorry." I...... You shouldn't talk like that. I know you're kind too. I'm just in too much of a hurry to think you shouldn't have taken that step. But it has come to this, and it is useless to say more. Anyway, I should thank you, I never dreamed that someone would not hesitate to roll a nail board to save me, and I never thought that that person would be you. ”

Ruolian calmed down, "I know that because I'm usually too strict with you, you've always had an opinion about me in your heart. But after all, we are family. No matter what happens at home, you must be consistent with the outside world. You don't have to take it to heart, I just don't want our good family to be scattered like this. I've been at your house for four years. By the way, next month is your birthday, and after your birthday you will be twenty-four. ”

Ye Xun nodded, he didn't quite understand why Ruolian suddenly mentioned his birthday and age.

"Ye Xun, let me tell you something." Ruolian pursed her lips, a little unable to open her mouth, "We are away now, and there will be a lot of inconvenience in the relationship between the two of us, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, whether we stay or stay in a hotel, we must be in the name of husband and wife." It's safer, and it saves money. Do you think that's okay? ”

"This ......" Ye Xun looked embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he felt that she had some truth in what she said, so he should respond. Listen to Madame's. ”

At last they saw the lonely hut in the wilderness. Ye Xun knocked on the door, and a young and beautiful couple came out, among whom the woman still had a big belly.

Ye Xun nodded at them and said politely, "I'm sorry to disturb you." We husband and wife, we came out to run errands and passed by here, it was getting late, and I thought of Guibao Land......" Ye Xun looked at the simple thatched house and changed his words, "I want to spend the night here." ”

The two saw that Ye Xun and the others were kind and did not look like gangsters, so they agreed to come down.

Ye Xun and Ai Lian followed the young couple into the house. The interior of the house is extremely simple, and it can really be described as a house with four walls. But judging from the conversation temperament of the two young couples, they are not like people who have no requirements for life, and it feels like it should be just a temporary residence. Ye Xun was inconvenient to inquire, and it was really not early, so Ye Xun and Ruolian simply washed their faces and prepared to rest early.

Since there was only one bedroom, the four of them could only sleep on a large kang. Their sleeping position was arranged in such a way that Ruolian was on the far left side, and then Ye Xun, next to Ye Xun was the young man, and on the far right was the pregnant woman. The quilt has only two beds. In the first half of the night, two people were afraid of being discovered, so they pretended to be covered with a quilt. Each of the two people only covered one quilt, and the body was far away. Ye Xun kept stiff and felt very tired. Then the little couple fell asleep. Ye Xun covered Ruolian with the quilt, put on a piece of clothing and shrunk into a ball, and fell asleep.

When Ye Xun woke up, it was already dawn. He was covered with a warm quilt. Ruolian sat on the edge of the kang with a smile on her face and shouted to him to get up, "Tianyu, get up!" Breakfast was ready. I got up and ate. ”

Ye Xun looked around, the quilt on the kang was neatly folded, the courtyard outside had been swept over, and breakfast had been cleaned up...... It felt like everyone had been up for a long time, and he was the only one sleeping. Ye Xun was a little embarrassed, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" ”

"It's okay, Dashan and Xiuying are both reasonable people, you were so tired yesterday, it doesn't hurt to sleep a little more today. Get up and wash your face, and I'll fold the quilt. Ruolian has changed back to her previous appearance of being able to speak kindly, but she is much more gentle and reasonable than before.

Ye Xun got off the ground, and when he met the young couple, he smiled at him, "Brother Ye, get up." It's time to wash your hands and eat breakfast. ”

Ye Xun nodded, "Okay." ”

Ye Xun listened to Ruolian's cordial chat with the two couples while washing his face, and he was as familiar as a close friend for many years, Ye Xun couldn't help but bow his head and smile.

During the meal, Ruolian said to the husband and wife affectionately, "Yingying, you can eat more." You're a double now. Dashan, you see that Yingying has suffered so much with you, you can't treat us Yingying badly. ”

The man named Dashan nodded vigorously and smiled at his daughter-in-law.

"Sister Lian, don't worry, I can eat it. Brother Dashan, he is very good to me, but he is not stupid and can't speak. Ying Ying also looked at Dashan and said with a shy smile.

"They are not all the same, you see that you Brother Ye are not the same." Ruolian glanced at Ye Xundao.

Ye Xun didn't know how they were talking about him, and when he saw that several people were looking at him, he stopped picking up rice in his mouth and smiled at everyone a little embarrassed.

Ruolian and Ying Ying laughed together. Ying Ying glanced at Ye Xun, smiled and bit Ruolian's ear, although the voice was very small, but the four people present heard it. "Sister Lian, you are really blessed. Look at how talented and extraordinary my Brother Ye is. ”

Ye Xun blushed when he 'boarded'.

Ruolian pretended not to care and said, "What's the use of a big man looking good?" You have to have the ability to make money. ”

Dashan was a little jealous when he saw his wife like this, "I think Sister Lian is so capable and considerate, Brother Ye is blessed to marry her." ”

Ruolian smiled shyly, Ye Xun pretended not to hear, and ate by himself.

Ying Ying glared at the mountain, and said to Ruolian, "Sister Lian, you are out and about, and it is too attractive to wear this body." Or why would the thief steal you? I'll find you both clothes in a moment, and you can change them. Be safe on the road. ”

"It's still Yingying thoughtful. We have eaten, taken, and lived here, and we have nothing to thank you, so you will not be left with the clothes you have changed. ”

"Sister Lian, what are you polite to us? Meeting is fate. It's a pleasure for us as a couple to meet you. It's just that because we don't have enough money, we can only help you with this. You still have a long way to go, you can take this garment with you and go to the pawnshop in the town, and you can resist it for a few days. And you take the rest of your food and eat it on the way. ”

When parting, Ruolian and Yingying held hands, cried and laughed, hugged and hugged, and were very reluctant. Ye Xun and Dashan stood next to each other and smiled awkwardly.

Ruolian hurried forward in front, and Ye Xun chased after two steps, "Madam, where are we going?" ”

"Yingying said, three miles ahead is a small town, let's go there to tidy up, put on clothes, and prepare things for the road."

"Oh. This Yingying girl and the mountain people are very good, but they look so small! ”

"They? It was eloped. The conditions of Yingying's family are slightly better, her father is a showman, and the Dashan family is just an ordinary farmer. It is reasonable to say that a woman is going to marry highly, but the two of them did something unsightly in private, and they both had children. Yingying's family would not agree to it no matter what, and the two of them could only elope. Alas, today's young people really don't know how to check, it's really the world is declining, and the people's hearts are not ancient! ”

Ye Xun was surprised, "You just now and others are still like a pair of sisters, turn your face and talk about others like this?" Not quite right? ”

"Am I wrong? A yard is a yard. What I'm saying is true. ”

"Then why don't you talk to the two of them?"

"I eat other people's food and take other people's food, and I still say in front of other people's people that they are immoral? Am I sick? ”

"You know it's not appropriate? Behind it, no matter who is right or wrong, let alone someone who is kind to us. Ye Xun said with a serious face.

"Okay, you're a righteous gentleman, I'm a sinister villain! You're almost done, don't get an inch! Ruolian smiled, and passed it lightly.

Ye Xun was quite surprised, thinking of last night's incident and feeling even more interesting, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What? Spare me so easily? Madame's temperament when she goes out is very different from that at home! I was verbally offended several times like last night, and if I were at home, I would have been beaten up. ”

"See? I've been putting up with you since last night. ”

"Reasonable, why put up with me?"

"What do you say? In the middle of the night, you're still in the wilderness, I've annoyed you, you're running away alone, leaving myself there, what should I do? ”

Ye Xun sneered, "Madame is really capable of bending and stretching." ”

"Now outside, I don't care about you. Don't be too arrogant, thinking that no one can cure you, I will remember it for you, and when I go home, the new and old accounts will be settled. ”

"Don't. Madam! Where do I dare to be presumptuous in front of you? I'm reasoning with you, I'm a person, easy to be serious, and I don't have a sense of proportion when I really speak, but my heart is definitely good, and I don't have the slightest disrespect for you. After I came out, I found that my wife could still listen to the reason, and it turned out that she was so deeply righteous. Ye Xun defended himself while currying favor with Ruolian without a trace.

"Alright, you don't compliment me. Rest assured, I don't hold a grudge that much. We have to find a way to get back to Hangzhou as soon as possible. ”
