Hanoi, Huai County, Ye Family Manor.

Since Ye Zhao inadvertently broke the Taiping Sect's assembly in Ji County, Wei Xian was implicated and removed from his post as the Taishou of Hanoi, and now the Taishou of Hanoi is Zhang Huai, a person from Qinghe, who is considered a student of Cai Yong, and takes good care of the Ye family.

This time Ye Zhao went to Suiyang to take office, and the imperial court gave a three-month deadline, so Ye Zhao was not good at training on the road, so Ding Li took people and horses to protect the accompanying craftsmen and arrived in Suiyang, and Ye Zhao took Guan Hai, Gao Sheng, Meng Hu and Qiu Chi dead and Zhang Yue and other ten personal guards to return to Huaixian first.

The Ye family manor was built outside the city, in the past three years, Ye Zhao has been gathering a lot of money in the north, in addition to daily use and goods used to deal with the relationship, most of the family assets are secretly sent to the Ye family in Huai County, this was originally only a private property of the Ye family outside Huai County, and now after several expansions, compared to before Ye Zhao left, there is already some grandeur of a big family, early in the morning, Uncle Liang and Xin'er who got the news have been waiting outside the manor.

"Childe, you can come back." When Ye Zhao arrived at Yezhuang with his personal guards, Uncle Liang stepped forward as soon as possible and helped Ye Zhao hold the war horse, and a happy smile appeared on his face full of folds.

"Uncle Liang, Xin'er, in the past three years, I have suffered you." Ye Zhao stepped forward, hugged Uncle Liang, smiled and glanced at Xin'er, who was already slim, and said with a smile.

"The matter of duty, why is it bitter." Uncle Liang said with a smile: "And in the past three years, that Zhang Huaijun has taken good care of my Ye family, I am only responsible for collecting tenant rents, as well as operating some county properties, to say that it is hard, the son has suffered a lot in that bitter cold place in the past three years." ”

"Hey, I'm a man who can't endure hardship by nature." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Well, Xin'er is much more beautiful." ”

"Childe, and you, I'm tired all the way, I'm afraid I'm tired, the old slave has prepared hot water for you, go and freshen up." Uncle Liang smiled.

"Well, it's still Uncle Liang who knows me." Ye Zhao nodded, and while walking towards the manor, he said to Uncle Liang: "This time I came back, I have to go to Zhang Yuanjun's side in person, I heard that Yuanjun likes calligraphy and painting, I remember that there is a commentary on the Analects given to me by the teacher at home, take it up, and I will go to thank you in person tomorrow." ”

Cai Yong's annotation, in this era is a thing that cannot be changed, in this era, except for those nouveau riche who once got rich, most officials pay attention to the demeanor of celebrities, if they send anything like gold and silver, they will be looked down upon by the other party, no matter what, this Zhang Huai can be regarded as helping the Ye family, Cai Yong's annotation is sent, one is to thank you, and the other is to make friends and expand your contacts.

"Don't worry, Childe, I'll send someone to deliver the worship post later." Uncle Liang nodded, this is not a visit, Zhang Huai is also a county guard, more to help the Ye family, go to the meeting to be more formal, the etiquette must not be less.

"Then I'll be bothered Uncle Liang." With everyone all the way into the house, Ye Zhao turned his head to look at everyone: "All the way, you have all worked hard, this time I will stay in Huai County for a few days, you should relax and relax." ”

"Whoa!" Everyone hurriedly bowed, and their own servants took everyone to rest.

"Childe came back this time, only stayed for a few days and left?" Uncle Liang and Xin'er followed Ye Zhao and looked at Ye Zhao with some loss.

"Well, this time the court ordered me to rush to Suiyang to take office within three months, so it's not good to delay." Ye Zhao nodded and said, Suiyang is far away in Yuzhou, and it is five hundred miles away from here, even if it is as fast as it is now, it will have to go for a month, and he is ready to spare some time to understand the people of Suiyang.

"This time, I'll ask Xin'er to go with Childe." Uncle Liang glanced at Xin'er lovingly.

"Well, this time I went to govern the place, and there was no war, and I was going to take you with me." Ye Zhao nodded, Uncle Liang and Xin'er are loyal servants of the Ye family, Ye Zhao still remembers that when he first came, it was when the Ye family was in turmoil, and the huge Ye family, only these two people were willing to stay by his side, and they were already Ye Zhao's relatives.

"The old slave won't go." Uncle Liang shook his head with a smile and said: "This Ye family is getting bigger and bigger now, and the old slave is not at ease when he hands over the family wealth to others, so he is here to help the son guard this family wealth." ”

Ye Zhao nodded when he heard this, now the Ye family's family wealth is quite rich, and many of them are shady and easy to be coveted, and Ye Zhao is not at ease when they are handed over to others.

"Xin'er, go and prepare to serve the son's bath." Uncle Liang turned his head and said to Xin'er.

"Whoa." Xin'er blushed and retreated obediently.

"Childe is now a weak crown year, and it's time to get married, I wonder if Childe has a favorite woman? The old slave has prepared a dowry for his son. Uncle Liang watched Xin'er leave, and then turned his head and looked at Ye Zhaodao with a smile.

"Not really." Ye Zhao shook his head, in the past three years, in addition to governing the place, he is fighting, and in his spare time, he is also collecting various medicinal materials to improve his physique and the physique of Guan Hai and others, or he is studying the fighting methods of this era, these things have already occupied his energy, emotional matters, first, there is no time, and secondly, it is not easy to find a suitable one.

This suitability is not only for both parties to look at each other, in this era when marriage basically relies on the words of the matchmaker, whether the two parties are in love is secondary, and more important is the difference between the doors.

The Ye family's current status is very embarrassing, although the accumulation of three generations has entered the threshold of the scholar class, but it is the kind of third-rate scholar who belongs to the bottom, even so, it is because of Cai Yong's relationship, if it weren't for Ye Zhao worshipping Cai Yong as a teacher, the current Ye family is at best about Zhao Rong, and it is a wealthy family.

This is also the embarrassment of the Ye family, the connections are weak, in the eyes of the family, he is not worthy of others, but if he marries a wealthy woman, for the Ye family today, this problem is not small, he is not the emperor, he can ignore the difference between the doors, anyway, in this world, it is impossible to have a family that is right with the emperor.

Of course, it is not impossible for a family to marry a wealthy family or even a common person, but the problem is that Ye Zhao is the only seedling of the Ye family, and he cannot be capricious on the issue of a wife.

"There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great." Uncle Liang sighed, looked at Ye Zhao and smiled, "How about Childe take Xin'er into the room first?" ”

"Xin'er?" Ye Zhao groped his chin and smiled: "It's not bad, but is Xin'er willing?" ”

"Childe can do it if he wants." Uncle Liang smiled.

"If it's someone else, it's okay, Uncle Liang and Xin'er Zhao are seen as relatives, if Xin'er doesn't want to, then it's my Ye Zhao's sister, and his Ye family is Xin'er's maiden family." Ye Zhao shook his head, he didn't want to engage in any free love, but he really regarded Xin'er as a family member.

"Childe will go to the bath first, Xin'er's affairs will be known later." Uncle Liang looked at Ye Zhao with a smile, but that smile made Ye Zhao feel a little unserious.
