Two months, for a city in this era, even if there are any changes, it will not be very conspicuous, Ye Qing sat in a carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at Yangzhou City under the golden afterglow of the sunset.

Before going home, I deliberately went to Xima and Taiping to take a turn, and now the city wall there did not break a big hole more than 100 zhang long as originally planned, but according to Lu Yanlun's meaning, and Ye Qing's intention, directly outside the current Yangzhou City, another outer city was built.

The people of Xima and Taiping are obviously much more than two months ago, and the people who have gathered from all over the world have now made Xima and Taiping become the most densely populated places among the many squares in Yangzhou City.

Compared to the somewhat lifeless appearance of two months ago, the area is now much more lively, with horse-drawn carriages moving slowly along the somewhat potholed streets, and laughing and playful children will stop and stand at a distance to watch the carriage and the majestic cheeks peeking out of the curtains.

I didn't see Lu Yanlun, nor did I see Xiao Zhen, and Ye Qing didn't plan to visit them today, so after turning around casually, he motioned to the coachman to drive in the direction of the mansion.

Because Bai Chun returned to the house first, the porter Tao Qian had been looking outside the mansion for half an hour, and every time he saw the carriage passing by, he had to hurriedly put on a smiling face, eagerly looking at the carriages, and then passed in front of him ruthlessly.

After coming and going in disappointment, Tao Qian began to sit down next to the one-person tall stone lion at the door, even if it was a carriage passing in front of the door, the coachman shouted loudly to drive, and the porter who closed his eyes and recuperated didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

The sound of the car finally stopped in front of him, Tao Qian slowly opened his eyes, and then saw Ye Qing looking at him with disdain: "I knew that you were such a lazy porter, I shouldn't have brought you ......to Yangzhou in the first place." ”

"Lord Ye, do you think the old man is willing to come to Yangzhou? In Jiankang, no matter how big or small, I am also a noble person with an extra-staff identity, a mansion, and a concierge, what are the benefits of following you? Show you the home nursing home, you still have so many words? Yes, and yes, not only for you to take care of the home, no, you have to teach your subordinates some indiscriminate tricks to ...... with a clear conscience. Tao Qian helped the stone lion to stand up, and complained more intensively than Ye Qing.

"That's because you are like this, is it useful to govern the country and the country?" Ye Qing retorted lazily, and then walked towards the mansion.

The porter naturally followed closely behind, doing his duty: "Lord Ye, this trip is so dangerous, I thought you wouldn't be able to come back, you said that if you can't come back, there are still so many little ladies in your house, two cute and smart little guys, you ...... You don't know who will be cheaper, so you have to be careful in everything in the future, if you can't provoke, try not to provoke again, you are not too old, the official has been appeased all the way, what more can you ask for in life. The porter once again went beyond his duty and said earnestly.

"Mother-in-law's." Ye Qing looked Tao Qian up and down, and then noticed that the button behind the house turned out to be a shiny pearl!

"I'll go, Tao Qian, are you getting rich or are you deliberately showing off your wealth in front of me. The cloth buckle is actually made of pearls, are you too ....... Ye Qing said as he reached out to pull the pearl wrapped in the cloth buckle on Tao Qian's slanted robe.

"What am I, you go to the backyard and take a look, your two precious sons, ...... pearls every day." Tao Qian hurriedly dodged, and then gestured: "It's still such a big pearl to play, you want to be red-eyed, your son is red-eyed, my few grains, but it's not easy to cheat from the hands of the lonely city...... He gave it to me. ”

Tao Qian almost missed his mouth in the end, but the old face was not embarrassed at all.

"This is a pearl from Fanliang Lake?" Ye Qing stretched out and froze in the air for a while, and asked a little dumbfounded.

"It's just the past few days, don't you say, you little ladies, one is more beautiful than the other, and one is more capable than the other. I really don't know where you kid cultivated the blessings, so that these little ladies can worry about you every day and die for you. "Tao Qian, as a eunuch, feels that the women around the saint, in terms of birth and status, are not as good as these ladies in Ye Qing's mansion, especially that Zhong Qing!

"I'm a blessing...... It took nearly a thousand years to build. Ye Qing said coldly.

Of course, if he was suddenly asked to let go of all that he had at this time, and then return to the original world, he would never do it.

After continuing to talk nonsense with Tao Qian, he walked to the backyard alone, passing through the moon gate in the front courtyard, and then the backyard with small bridges and flowing water, rockeries and pavilions, flowers and trees.

In Lin'an, he was accustomed to living in his own small courtyard, and now he returned to the mansion of Yangzhou Mansion again, Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh for a while, how much silver did Zhao Shixiong spend to build today's elegant mansion, and how much silver Zhong Qing spent, and made it more elegant and leisurely.

Fang Fei looked through the autumn water, and finally saw a familiar figure walking in the direction of the moon gate, and for a while, Fang Xin was like a deer colliding with each other, and immediately turned around and ran into the front hall.

"Welcome home." In the tone of playfulness, he couldn't hide the lovesickness that he thought about day and night, as well as the deep joy and worry.

Looking at the three flower-like women in front of him, and then at the little figure on the ground who was running over happily shouting at him, and Ye Wujian who was held in Fang Fei's arms, Ye Qing's heart suddenly surged with a full of happiness and fear, and he was afraid that one day when he woke up one night, he would find that all this was just a dream.

Picking up Ye Gucheng, who was already able to play by himself, it was naturally impossible to respond to Yan Qingcheng and Zhong Qing's lovesickness for him with a warm hug in public.

Pearls now seem to exist in Ye Mansion without money, whether it is Ye Gucheng or Ye Wuji, their toys and costumes are full of pearls, making the two little guys like the stupid sons of the landlord's family, even if they have long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but in Ye Qing's eyes, under the backdrop of the pearls, it seems that these two little guys have been stupid.

The dissatisfied Yan Qingcheng slapped his shoulder angrily, Ye Qing no longer regarded his own son as the stupid son of the landlord's family, but he was still wondering in his mind, if these two boys were older and had their own childhood playmates, would their playmates treat the two of them as the stupid sons of the Ye Governor's family?

Naturally, Ye Qing didn't dare to say such a question again, after all, the mother of the two little guys was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

It is a rare family reunion, and it is rare to see Ye Qing come back intact, whether it is Yan Qingcheng or Zhong Qing, the worries that have been tightly held for two months can finally be put down.

Liu Qingyan is still in the slanting wind and drizzle building, the little lady who entered the Ye family at the latest, did not change her original lifestyle because she became a woman in Ye Zhifu, with Li Qingzhao's cloud travel, the slanting wind and drizzle building is now more and more valued by Liu Qingyan, and Yan Qingcheng and Zhong Qing will also take time to visit Liu Qingyan.

However, just like going to work, Liu Qingyan would go out of the house early every day to the slanting wind drizzle building, and then return home in the carriage driven by Xu Qing himself later.

Seeing the living Ye Qing standing in front of him, with a few other sisters, Liu Qingyan really couldn't suppress the worry in his heart, blushing and ignoring the ridicule of Yan Qingcheng and the others, and didn't know where the courage came from, he suddenly threw himself into Ye Qing's arms, hugged him tightly and didn't let go.

The night wind gradually became stronger and stronger, and as the doors and windows that had been open were blowing, the air began to be damp and cold, and it was obvious that there would be a rain to moisten the whole land this night.

As Yan Tingcheng finished talking to Ye Qing about pearls and gouache in the study, and then when Ye Qing took out the method of making the mirror, Yan Tingcheng's eyes instantly became brighter again.

Looking at the beautiful person in front of him, Ye Qing was like the rain that permeated the night, and he couldn't wait to immediately moisten the earth while the heavy rain moistened the earth, but also moisturized the beauty in his arms.

But he didn't expect his wish to be disappointed, Yan Qingcheng blushed with a hint of reluctance, and reluctantly said that it was inconvenient for others, and then left the stunned Ye Zhifu in the study, and he walked to his own pavilion.

The sound of drizzle beating everything gradually sounded outside, and Ye Zhifu, who picked up an oil-paper umbrella, did not plan to spend the long night alone, not to mention, now that he has returned to Yangzhou, there are still many things to do, and in addition to the love of his children, he naturally needs to talk to Zhong Qing about the current situation in the court in Lin'an City.

Quietly walked up to the second floor of Zhong Qing's attic, seeing that Fang Fei was about to greet him, Ye Qing hurriedly made a silent gesture, and then handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to Fang Fei, and then walked in the direction of the study that Fang Fei pointed to.

A few festive red candles illuminated the entire small study, and only Zhong Qing's side face could be glimpsed, but even so, looking at the half of the tranquil cheeks, the long eyelashes blinking from time to time, could still make Ye Qing see his heart swaying for a while.

Quietly pushed open the door and walked in, and while slowly closing the door, I heard Zhong Qing's voice ringing: "Fang Fei, go to sleep, I'll go to sleep when I'm done." ”

Ye Qing, who turned around, looked at Zhong Qing, who was still with his head down, obviously, the sound he made made people think it was Fang Fei.

Looking at the analysis of the situation in the court that she had written on the paper, Fang Fei, who frowned for a while and bit her lip lightly, finally raised her head and said, "It's raining outside, remember to ...... the windows How are you? ”

Zhong Qing subconsciously got up, and the wide and comfortable cuffs swept over the desktop, instantly sweeping the paper on the desktop and falling, like snowflakes slowly falling to the ground.

"Haven't slept so late?" Ye Qing looked at Zhong Qing with a huge surprise in her eyes, the beauty in front of her, obviously didn't expect that she would come over tonight.

"Ah, I'm ready to sleep." Zhong Qing looked at Ye Qing's easy-going smile, and her heart suddenly jumped, even if she squatted down and escaped by picking up those papers, she couldn't stop the heartbeat that was getting more and more joyful.

"What are these?" Ye Qing squatted down and asked while helping Zhong Qing pick up the papers and look at them.

"About the situation in the court." Zhong Qing's bright eyes looked at Ye Qing and smiled shyly and gently.

Fang Fei lowered her head and put down the tea, turned around and left with the door, Ye Qing had also sat down on the chair behind the desk, Zhong Qing, who was pulling the chair next to her, took the initiative to put her arm around Ye Qing, and her mood had never been so down-to-earth, watching Ye Qing flip through the analysis of Wang Huai, Han Cheng, and Shi Hao as she wrote and painted.

From time to time, when Ye Qing turned his head to look at her, he would smile sweetly, and then leaned on Ye Qing's arm and explained in a low voice.

"Wang Huai will not really want to help you after all, but if it is unexpected, the position of the imperial capital will naturally belong to you, but as for the same system and deputy system, Wang Huai will definitely not send officials who are good with you, such as: Xiao Zhen and others. Therefore, after returning to Yangzhou, it is not equivalent to breaking away from the open and secret battles above the court, or even ...... Now in Yangzhou, it is much more dangerous than in Lin'an. Zhong Qing frowned and said lightly.

Ye Qing reached out and stroked Zhong Qing's fair and delicate cheeks, Zhong Qing also enjoyed it involuntarily closing her eyes, feeling the sense of security and fulfillment that the slightly rough palm brought to her.

"Yes, today's Wang Huai's order almost arrived in Yangzhou with me, I am the commander of the imperial front, Li Zhixiao, who supervises the imperial history, is the same commander, and Hong Zun is the deputy commander, these two people are like retainers to the historian, and I am naturally extremely incompatible." Ye Qing said lightly.

"Then you ......." Zhong Qing let go of Ye Qing's arm and began to rummage through the paper on the table, "You won't show Han Cheng about this, right?" ”

"What do you mean?" Ye Qing watched the slender fingers fly in front of his eyes, and then grabbed them and put them in his palm and asked.

Zhong Qing let Ye Qing hold her hand, sighed a little dejectedly, and said melancholy: "I don't think it's time yet, Han Cheng also has a deep prejudice against you...... is dead, you are in Han Cheng's eyes, just as Wang Huai's eyes have the same weight, but ...... Wang Huai is more tactful and treacherous, and knows how to win people's hearts. And if you show favor to Han Cheng at this time, I am afraid it will only be counterproductive, but it will make Han Cheng aware of the discord between you and Wang Huai, and this is ...... It might even prompt the two of them to join forces against you. ”

"Am I that important to them?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

Zhong Qing didn't feel funny at all, looked at Ye Qing quietly and said, "It's very important, because the Holy One still trusts and appreciates you, and the Holy One trusts and appreciates you...... Not for himself, but for the sake of the country, for the prince, the saint hopes that when the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, he can have courtiers like you by his side, not courtiers like Wang Huai and Han Cheng, so if my expectations are good, maybe you will receive a secret decree in a while, or someone will personally go to Yangzhou to find you. ”

"Why are you so smart?" Ye Qing reached out again and stroked Zhong Qing's cheek, and under Zhong Qing's somewhat dazed and shy look, he said, "Yes, before I returned to Yangzhou, the Holy Lord summoned me alone for nearly two hours. ”

"Really?" Zhong Qing happily confirmed.

"How can this be fake?" Ye Qing said with a smile, and then moved the hand on Zhong Qing's face to Zhong Qing's slender waist, his arms were slightly forced, and as Zhong Qing was hugged by him on his lap, his lips also kissed Zhong Qing's nervously bitten red lips at the same time.

"Hmm...... This is the study...... Be careful...... Uh, will be seen by Fang Fei...... Yes....... Zhong Qing suddenly felt light, and then he was held in Ye Qing's arms, kicked open the door and walked in the direction of the bedroom.

"Then omit ...... here."
