Chapter 8: The Dragon Returns to the Phoenix
Miss Ye, who doesn't like to go home and can't see people all day long, forcibly changed her Ye Jian Villa to Night Sword Villa. The key is that the owner of Ye Zhuang also readily agreed despite everyone's opposition. It can be seen how much Ye Wutian loves his daughter. It is estimated that even if Ye Luoli wants the stars in the sky, he will try his best to pick them off.
Ye Wutian spoils his daughter like this without a bottom line, what about his son?
Ye Luofan is Ye Wutian's son and Ye Luoli's own brother, only four years older than Ye Luoli, and he is 20 years old this year.
"Luo Fan, do you see your sister?"
Outside a wing room in Night Sword Villa, the graceful and luxurious Mrs. Ye Shen Menglan hurriedly walked into her son Ye Luofan's room with her skirt and asked anxiously. Outside the door of the room, there were two girls with good looks and good looks, who were Mrs. Shen's personal maids.
"Luo Li? She's not at home? ”
In the antique room, Ye Luofan was sitting cross-legged in front of the desk reading a book, and when he heard his mother's words, he raised his head from the book and asked suspiciously.
"Yes, this crazy girl, spoiled by your father, knows to run outside all day long, no, just after lunch, there is no one to see."
"Mother, don't worry, I guess she's just going out to play, don't worry, so many people follow her, nothing will happen." Ye Luofan's white face also had a hint of worry, but he still comforted his mother gently.
Luo Li's girl is eccentric, Ye Luofan is not too worried about her being bullied, only worried that she will be fine if she doesn't go out to make trouble. God knows how much he wiped her ass behind her back!
It's just that Ye Luofan never told his parents, even if he told his parents, his parents were very fond of Luoli, so they couldn't bear to blame her, they would only blame themselves for not taking good care of their sister. Ye Luofan sometimes longs for a man to take his sister in, lest he always follow his sister behind him all day long to clean up the mess.
"Alas, this girl really broke my heart!"
Mrs. Ye looked up to the sky and sighed, she and Ye Wutian were both very old before giving birth to Ye Luofan, thinking that there would be only one child in this life, who knew that Ye Luofan was four years old and they had Ye Luoli again, and they always felt that it was the gift of God that made them have both children and daughters, so they were very doting on this daughter. Moreover, the daughter often talks about the need for a poor son and a rich daughter, and also says that wealth is not only material and financial, but also spiritual.
They also asked Luo Li what her spiritual enrichment was, and she said that it was freedom, independence and self-reliance.......
Who knows where she heard these truths, but seeing that her daughter was happy, the old couple also felt that it made sense, so they followed her. It's just that she seems to be becoming more and more Bengali, and sometimes she doesn't see anyone for a few days.
"Forget it, I'd better go back to my room and see my kitten, alas." Shen Menglan chattered out of her son's room, planning to go back to her room, her cat had just given birth, and raising a daughter was really not as good as a cat.
Walking through the long corridor and passing by Ye Wutian's study, the light was on inside, Shen Menglan hesitated, but gently pushed open the door of Ye Wutian's room and crept in.
"Ma'am, why are you here?"
Ye Wutian was about sixty years old, tall, a little chubby, although his hair was a little gray, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, the bridge of his nose was high, he had a short black beard on his lips, a black long shirt, and his cuffs were tightly tied, and the whole person looked shrewd and capable. Seeing Shen Menglan coming in, he quickly got up to greet him, smiled and helped Shen Menglan sit in the position he had just placed, and poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.
"Oh God, your daughter is gone again."
Shen Menglan took a sip of tea lightly, put the teacup aside, and looked sad.
"Madame, what are you talking about? What does it mean to be missing? I guess I'm going out again, right? Rest assured, you'll be back when you're tired of playing. ”
Ye Wutian moved another chair and sat next to Shen Menglan, saying a little unhappily.
"Godless," Shen Menglan stood up, although she was in her early fifties, except for a slight trace of fine lines at the corners of her eyes, her skin was still fair and smooth, revealing a healthy red.
She stood up and walked behind Ye Wutian and gently pinched her husband's shoulder, "Luo Li is already sixteen years old, and girls of her age in other people's families have already found their in-laws, what do you think of her?" I didn't see anyone who was crazy all day long, and in the future... But what can I do? ”
"Madam, you're just worried,"
Ye Wutian enjoyed Mrs. Ye's massage very much, his eyes were half-squinted comfortably, he reached out and patted Mrs. Ye's hand on his shoulder, and the corners of his mouth showed a doting smile,
"Is my Ye Wutian's daughter still worried about getting married? Besides, even if she can't get married, my Ye family has money, which can completely ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, so Mrs. can relax. ”
"That being said, I ...... in my heart I don't feel down-to-earth! ”
Shen Menglan's hand stopped, still with a sad face, how can there be a woman who doesn't marry since ancient times? She is not a monk.
The older she gets, the more she will say right and wrong, and then her daughter will not be pierced through her backbone?
"Okay, madam, what Li'er said is good, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you, just relax, besides, isn't Luo Fan still married? Why don't you see you in a hurry? ”
Ye Wutian glanced at his wife and said a little angrily.
The daughter always said that she was her little lover in her previous life, so their father-daughter relationship is very good in this life, but shouldn't the son be the mother's little lover? Why don't you see that Mrs. cares about her son?
"Alas, forget it, that kid said that he couldn't find a girl he liked and would rather not marry for the rest of his life, probably because he was bewitched by his sister, and he was just some unworrying guys!"
Shen Menglan sat on the chair and said with some anger.
"That's because you're worrying too much about yourself!" Ye Wutian couldn't help but retort, "After living for most of your life, it's not as good as Luo Li to understand." ”
The two were arguing word by word, when there was a knock on the door outside, and the voice of the maid Xiaocui rang out,
"Owner, ma'am, there is a guest here."
"It's coming, it's coming."
Shen Menglan quickly stood up from the chair and glared at Ye Wutian, "You, just get used to them, I don't care." ”
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.
"This is... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Outside the door, there was a tall, handsome and extraordinary man, with angular facial features, phoenix eyes as deep as an abyss, no one could understand the emotions in his eyes, his face was full of indifference, and the two maids were far away from him, because Xiaocui and they knew that this kind of person was not very good-tempered.
Seeing Shen Menglan open the door and come out, the man did not hesitate, and took the initiative to step forward, his voice was a little cold,
"Mrs. Ye, I'm here to meet Master Ye."
"I can't help it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, Wutian is in the room..."
Shen Menglan hurriedly dodged, and then squatted down to return the salute. No matter how powerful the Night Sword Villa is, the crown prince is always a member of the royal family, and he must not be easily offended, otherwise it will be very troublesome, and I heard that the prince has a strange temper and is indifferent to people.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down? Disrespectful and disrespectful, please please inside! ”
Ye Wutian heard the outsiders talking, and hurriedly walked out and welcomed the prince in.
After the two of them sat down, without Ye Wutian's orders, Shen Menglan walked in with a tea tray and said with a smile, "This is the dragon bud that Li'er made herself, Your Highness will try it and see how it goes." ”
As he spoke, he placed a cup of tea in front of the prince, and in the fine blue and white porcelain teacup, the tips of the completely unopened hairs floated on the surface of the water like needles, and then gradually sank, but still maintained a standing posture, as if on a tree.
The prince looked down and sniffed, and praised, "It's not bad." ”
"Prince Xie praises, then I won't bother the two of you."
The crown prince frowned, he noticed that Mrs. Ye was saying "I", which was very taboo in the royal family.
Seeing this scene, Ye Wutian didn't understand anything, he hurriedly explained,
"Let His Highness smile, Madame grew up in the rivers and lakes since she was a child, so she won't pay too much attention to these, I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive her sins."
"What about --- owner?"
The crown prince gently spat out four words, his eyes sharp, staring at Ye Wutian's face tightly like an eagle seeing its prey, not missing any expression on his face.
"Me?" Ye Wutian's heart sank, what did this guy want to say?
"I mean, what about Lord Ye before? Also grew up on the rivers and lakes? ”
Ye Wutian sighed, how many years have passed, even he himself has almost forgotten what he used to do. Since having a pair of children, the couple has faded out of the rivers and lakes and only does general business to make a living, and they don't ask much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but they didn't expect to be asked so bluntly by a young man today.
"How did Your Highness know that the old man had been in the rivers and lakes?"
Now that it was all said and done, Ye Wutian was not so careful when he spoke, he sat up straight, picked up the teacup, and said softly.
After all, the rivers and lakes and the imperial court are two different things, and he is not an official in the imperial court, so there is no need to be so low.
In the eyes of others, it was disrespectful, but the corners of the prince's mouth were slightly raised, and his face was obviously a little better than just now. The slender right index finger curled slightly, gently knocking on the tabletop,
"I heard that the owner of the village used to be a master of sword forging?"
"Yes, the old man does know how to forge swords, but he can't talk about masters."
Ye Wutian put down the teacup and said solemnly.
"Long Zhi and Feng Gui are from the hands of the owner?" The prince asked again. Two paintings I saw in the library of the palace flashed through my mind, one sword was engraved with a flying dragon, and the other was a phoenix. It's a pity that he hasn't seen what the sword engraved with the phoenix really looks like, and the dragon is ......
"It's really from the old man."
Ye Wutian nodded.
"Does the owner know where they are?"
Ye Wutian shook his head, he had promised the two of them to keep this secret.
The crown prince didn't ask about this topic again, but changed the question, "It is said that these two swords will sense each other?" ”
"Hahahaha, there is indeed such a legend, but it's just a legend."
Ye Zhuang laughed. When he got these two swords, they were actually already swords, but they looked rusty and unusable, and they didn't seem to know when they were. However, the material was very good, so he added some other things to re-train them, and then took a new name to have the later Dragon to Phoenix Return.
It's just that what has always puzzled Ye Wutian is that no matter how he forges and hammers those two swords, the patterns of the flying dragon and phoenix on the sword body have always been lifelike, and they can even change with the shape of the sword body he exercised. Maybe they were a pair, he thought, and there was nothing wrong with saying that they had feelings between them.
"Can the owner tell me their stories?"
"The story? What's the story? Ye Wutian refused.
