Chapter 111: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
In a teahouse not far from the pastry shop, Yue Sanniang was watching the process of things developing, she thought that if Ye Yu did not come forward to solve it this time, she would definitely become a big laughing stock in the capital.
But the result was a twist and turn, and the dead end in her eyes was easily resolved by Ye Yu. And after Ye Yu's explanation, it made Ye Yu's image even taller.
This made Yue Sanniang look at the scene in amazement, and at the same time, her face was red with anger and she didn't speak for a long time. The maid on the side was also looking at the pastry shop, and said to herself very happily: "Miss, in fact, that Ye Zhuangyuan is not bad, you have embarrassed him many times, and he didn't take it to heart, why do you bother ......?"
Seeing that her personal maid's elbow turned outward, Yue Sanniang patted the maid angrily: "What do you know, this disciple asked for my butterfly silver hairpin in public on the Shangyuan Festival that day......"
"By the way, that hairpin is a token of love given to Miss by my future uncle, why do you give it to others lightly, Miss, you ...... it?"
"Guess what?" Yue Sanniang turned around slowly, and then sat down in front of the table and said, "If there was not a gambling contract that day, how could Miss Ben have given it to that apprentice!" β
The maid sighed softly, ignored Yue Sanniang, and said to herself with a stupid smile: "From the slave maid's point of view, this Ye Gongzi is better than the future uncle in terms of appearance and talent, except for the disability of his legs......
The maid's words made Yue Sanniang's teacup pause, and then coughed lightly: "Dead girl, what are you talking about?" It's time to go back! β
After speaking, she got up and hurriedly left the teahouse, and the little girl still reluctantly looked away, and hurriedly chased out of the wing......
After solving the matter of the pastry shop, Ye Yu returned to the Yang Mansion, and when the few people separated, Ye Yu specially instructed Yue Chen, hoping that this matter would be the last time.
Back in Yang's study, Ye Yu opened the bag that Xiao Duolubu gave him, and when he saw the things in this bag, he couldn't help but smile, and said in his heart that he was afraid that he would not be able to use this thing.
This study room was specially prepared by Yang Hui for Ye Yu, which made Ye Yu feel that he had really met a lot of nobles along the way. Imagine if it weren't for this cheap teacher, I'm afraid I wouldn't have achieved what I am today.
Just when Ye Yu sighed, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion walked in, saying that His Royal Highness King Gong had come to the mansion to see him by name! This made Ye Yu a little stunned, and said in his heart, when was he remembered by His Royal Highness King Gong?
After listening to the explanation of the housekeeper Yang Chen along the way, Ye Yu understood some of the reasons. Because Gongwang Zhao Dian loves arithmetic, he has been following Taishi Ling Yang Hui to learn arithmetic.
And now as a student of Yang Hui's disciples, if he is so senior, King Gong Zhao should be regarded as his senior brother. As soon as he thought that his senior brother was King Gong, Ye Yu couldn't help but want to laugh a little. I didn't expect Yang Hui, the door-to-door master, to bring such benefits to himself.
In less than a moment, Ye Yu came to the living room. When he saw the young man in front of him, he didn't need to introduce Ye Yu to know that this was the current King Gong and the future emperor Zhao Dan.
"Ye Yu greets His Royal Highness King Gong!" Ye Yu entered the living room and bowed his hands.
Zhao Dian was now in his early twenties, and as soon as he saw Ye Yu, he immediately looked at him, then stood up and smiled at Yang Hui: "Old Yang, you have accepted a good student!" β
"His Royal Highness has an overreputation, Ye Yu is just a dull person, and it is Ye Yu's interest to be accepted as a student by his teacher!"
Ye Yu's humble words, but in Yang Hui's ears, but he smiled with relief, how could Yang Hui not know that this was Ye Yu putting gold on his face, so he lightly twisted his gray beard and smiled: "Your Highness, Ye Yu's scholarship has surpassed the old minister a lot, and the old minister can retire in the future!" β
Ye Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then said solemnly: "There is no end to learning, students have a lot to learn, how can the teacher ......"
"Eh, Ye Yu, you don't have to be too humble, if you talk about the relationship between master and apprentice, this king and you are still brothers! Since there are no outsiders in this living room, you don't have to be so reserved! β
"The old minister is just ordered to teach His Royal Highness arithmetic, how dare he call His Highness's teacher, the old minister is terrified!" When Yang Hui heard Zhao Dian's words, although he was very happy in his heart, there was a burst of humility on his lips.
Seeing that the two of them were so humble, Zhao Dian laughed heartily: "No matter what, Ye Yu, this junior brother, this king has recognized it!" β
"Your Highness, Ye Yu is just a ......"
"Senior brother, you don't have to be too modest, the palace above the palace test that day passed, and this king is very clear! With the talent of his junior and younger brothers, this king is the most revered ......"
Zhao Duan paused suddenly when he said this, as if he had thought of something, and then continued: "This king came today, firstly, to have a glimpse of the demeanor of his junior brother, and secondly, to convey his father's dictation, and to summon his junior brother to the palace tomorrow!" β
"Ye Yu obeys the order!"
"That's it! In private, these red tapes will be avoided, and this king should go back to his life, and the king of Japan will come to talk to his junior brother again! β
Zhao Dian walked up to Ye Yu very casually, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then turned around and left the living room with his hands behind his back.
"Congratulations to Your Highness!"
After sending away this Gongwang Zhao Dan, Ye Yu fell into a short distraction in the living room.
Yang Hui saw that Ye Yu was not giving up, so he smiled knowingly: "Yu'er, you don't have to care too much, Your Highness is like this by nature!" Your Highness has an elegant temperament and loves to make friends, since Your Highness has the intention of befriending you, this is also a good thing! β
"Yes, thank you for the mention!" Ye Yu smiled and replied noncommittally.
On the second day, Ye Yu entered the palace on time. Ye Yu thought that Xiaozong would give him an official position, but he didn't expect that he just exchanged a few words of greeting, asked about the date of returning to his hometown and province, and then let him leave the palace.
In the following days, King Gong Zhao Dian visited Yang's Mansion several times to ask Ye Yu for arithmetic! Ye Yu was flattered by this, but naturally he didn't dare to be ambiguous, and he tried his best to explain.
So it didn't take long for the two to get to know each other a lot, and gradually lost the original sense of estrangement.
In the blink of an eye, it was the date to return to Chuzhou, during which Ye Yu wanted to know who the person who gave him the rune and the champion cake was, but after more than ten days of tossing and turning, there was still no result, and in the end he had to give it up.
April is the day when Ye Yu, the champion, returns to his hometown!
When he came, a carriage drove and three people came alone in the snowstorm; When I went, I was full of glory and returned to the spring sun......
The specifications of the champion's return to his hometown and province are naturally different from those of the same department. Although it is not as good as the gongs and drums in later film and television, it is also equipped with a team of guards to protect it.
On the day Ye Yu left Lin'an, Yue Chen and Meng Tong also returned to Chuzhou together, so it didn't seem lonely for the three of them to walk together.
The team marched towards Chuzhou, although the speed was relatively slow, but fortunately, Lin'an was not very far from Chuzhou. After more than ten days of travel, and now there are still two days to Chuzhou, and the team stayed at the post station on the official road.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the evening breeze at the turn of spring and summer carries a hint of hot summer warmth. The wings on the second floor of the post station were brightly lit, and dozens of guards who followed were guarding the main road at the exit of the post station.
In the middle of the night, all the lights in the wing room were extinguished.
Suddenly, four black shadows in the night sky broke into the post station, and their whereabouts were like ghosts and uncertain, as if no one was in front of this group of so-called guards. Even the two guards guarding the door of Ye Yu's wing didn't see who the other party was, so they felt that they had fainted in front of them.
Ye Yu's room was quiet, and when this group of ghostly black-clothed people broke into the room, they only heard a frightened exclamation from the bed: "Who is it?" β
The man on the bed saw that his questioning had not worked, and the black figure still raised his knife and walked towards the bed, and suddenly understood something.
So he was frightened by the person on the bed, and hurriedly knelt on the bed and kept kowtowing: "A good man spares his life!" The villain is just a guard, not a new champion, begging the good man to spare his life! β
The man in black led by him was about to raise his knife to slash the person on the bed, but when he heard this, the man in black was stunned, and immediately ordered the man in black behind him to light the fire and approach the person who kowtowed on the bed.
Under the light of the fire, the face in front of him was obviously not Ye Yu. The black-clothed man at the head grabbed this person's collar and said coldly, "What about others? β
He ...... He...... He said he wanted to take the opportunity to visit and didn't go with us......"
At this time, the guards who heard the sound and caught up had gradually gathered on the second floor, and the black-clothed man holding the fire fold put it away, and asked softly: "Big brother, what should I do?" β
The black-clothed man at the head suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Damn, what a plan for the golden cicada to get out of its shell!" β
Burst!
As soon as the words fell, he did not hesitate to slash the guard pretending to be Ye Yu, and then put the knife back into the sheath, and shouted softly: "Retreat!" β
Immediately, four black shadows jumped out of the window, as if they had never appeared, only the guards who fell in a pool of blood, the only trace of this room.
When the post station experienced the death of a thread, a boat on the river was drifting towards Chuzhou with the wind, and the sound of laughter and laughter came from the boat from time to time.
Yue Chen was carrying a pot of wine in the boat, and said with a smug smile: "The ancients said, 'A long drought and a sweet rain, a foreign country meets an old acquaintance, the cave house spends candle nights, and the gold list is inscribed', and now we are also complacent, Brother Meng, what do you think?" β
Meng Tong smiled faintly, and said to himself with the wine bottle: "I haven't heard of 'a long drought and a drop of sweet rain, a drop of money, a foreign country meets an old acquaintance and a creditor." Candle night in the cave roomγNext door,When the gold list is nominatedγIs the name the same'? β¦β¦β
"Uh, haha! Why don't you always have good things to say! β
"Brother Ye, what do you think?" Meng Tong raised the wine bottle and toasted Ye Yu.
The laughter and conversation between the two made Ye Yu suddenly interested, and then he raised the wine bottle and took a sip: "Why don't you change it?" Ten years, a long drought and a sweet rain, thousands of miles, a foreign country to meet the old know. Monks, cave room candle night, Lao Suo, gold list nomination! β
"Uh-haha-ha! This is good! This is good! There is not only the eagerness and rarity of the original verses, but also the helplessness and surprise of Brother Meng! When Yue Chen heard Ye Yu's four poems, he immediately leaned forward and leaned back with joy, clapping his hands again and again.
