Chapter 20 (I) Huizi's dedication to life is beginning to take shape

Since the chrysanthemum autumn party that day, Ye Menghan found that her eldest brother Ye Menghuai's attitude towards her had changed slightly.

Although it is still such an estranged relationship, at least he no longer takes the initiative to embarrass her, and it seems that even Ye Mengyan was mentioned by him. Recently, the two brothers and sisters have rarely come to her yard, and they took the initiative to find her trouble, which really made her comfortable for a while.

In fact, the eldest brother sent her home that day to surprise her. Moreover, neither reprimanded her nor lectured her along the way, and although neither of them spoke coldly, it was far better to be silent than to deal with it carefully.

The eldest brother changed his personality like this, which is really a little confusing. There is also a strange man I met that day, and even the eldest brother, who has always been proud, is respectful to him, so it can be seen that he must be a person of noble status. It's just that the eldest brother is not an official in the court, so how can he get acquainted with such a character?

When Qiao'er came in with an embroidered bandage, she saw Ye Menghan thinking about something at the window. Since Miss's serious illness this time, she has been thinking more and more alone, Qiao'er is distressed but also knows that this means that her own Miss has really grown.

The embroidered bandage is placed on the table, and the pink peach on it is lifelike. This is the birthday gift that the young lady is preparing to offer when the lord is on his birthday, a peach birthday hat with many blessings and many blessings.

The young lady has been embroidering for several days, and now she is only missing the blessing word on Baizi's clothes. Qiao'er carefully combed the silk threads and put them in her hand.

Every year on Ye's father's birthday, Ye Menghan relies on his young age, but he just sends some handwritten Wanfu characters or paintings. This is the first time that I have to prepare such an embroidery with great effort this year. Therefore, she is not sure whether her father likes it or not.

It's just that no matter what kind of birthday gift she took out in previous years, Ye Mengyan could compare, plus her mother Zhao and eldest brother Ye Menghuai advocated beside her, only saying that there is nothing in the sky and on the earth. But no matter what she sends, it seems slightly inferior.

This year is not as good as before, and she must satisfy her father at this birthday banquet. She was so determined.

When it came to the day of Ye's father's birthday, Ye's mansion was lit up and down, and it was a splendid and prosperous scene. Although Father Ye is just a small inspector of the imperial history. But the post of imperial history is already on the cusp of the storm, supervising hundreds of officials to correct Xing Prison. Although the grade is not high, but in the officialdom, he can move his whole body. Therefore, this little supervision of the imperial history is also the most useful lead in the turmoil in the court.

What's more, now that the crown prince has lost his position because of the Fang family, it is the time when the tide is surging. How could the big and small officials who were not in the room miss such a good opportunity to communicate with each other.

Originally, Father Ye's cautious nature was naturally reluctant to do it, and he knew that this was the time when the wind and clouds were stirring. His small birthday banquet may have accidentally become a Hongmen banquet that killed him.

But he still couldn't resist Zhao's crying and begging him every day, complaining that he refused to let his son enter the ranks and paved the way for him. In fact, as a father, why doesn't he want his son to succeed in his studies and serve the court? It's just that he was afraid that if he was not careful, he would repeat the tragedy of the Fang family.

With a lot of thoughts in his heart, Father Ye still restrained his expression. No matter what, on the day of the big day, he, the person who has a long life, can't put on a bitter face. Looking at the festive and lively decoration of his house, Father Ye only hoped that this peaceful scene would last for a long time.

Ye Menghan wore a red cardigan today, and a peach-colored pleated skirt with a koi pattern underneath. The ears are covered with ginkgo earrings made of thin gold inlaid with luodian, and the neck is worn with a jade-inlaid Baihua Fulu lock.

This dress looks festive and lively, but it looks much richer than her usual clothes. Among the children of the Ye family, she was the first to arrive. Qiao'er held the lacquer box that she was going to give for a while in her hand, and obediently followed behind Ye Menghan.

Because her seat has been planned for a long time, it is the most remote corner of this hall arranged by the Zhao family. Therefore, the master and servant were happy that no one disturbed them, so they only sat in their seats early, waiting for the elders of Ye's father and mother Zhao to arrive, and then they started the banquet together.

She sat alone for a long time, and Ye Mengyan and Ye Menghan, brother and sister, were late. Ye Mengyan also wore a red shirt today, but it was embroidered with gold thread with a pattern of hundreds of birds singing, with a full set of peony chisel flower head made of pure gold, and the ear was an emerald pendant with a very full head of water. The end is a comparison between the two, and you will know who is the heir.

The daughters of Ye Mansion are wearing the festive colors of Yishui today, but Ye Menghuai, the only eldest son, is still wearing a moon-white robe, and only chooses a white jade pendant engraved with the word Fushou on the accessories. In the bright color of this water, his nobility is even more revealed.

Zhao, who had been holding the birthday banquet, saw that it was his children who came, so he came over with a smile. While pulling them along, he personally sorted out their clothes. while taking them to their seats and sitting down.

In fact, Ye Mengyan and Ye Menghuai's seats are also in the corner of the main hall, and they are not too far from Ye Menghan. It's just that it's different from remote. Although the two of them are only seated in one corner, the view is very open. The guests who come and go can see it clearly, and because it is in the corner, the space around the seat is also large. It is very convenient to walk back and forth, or to watch singing and dancing. This is very different from Ye Menghan's small place.

However, this birthday banquet in Ye Mansion was naturally arranged by the Zhao family, the head of the Ye family, and Ye Menghan had already thought of this situation. She is just curious about what her eldest brother and sister will come up with for their birthday this year? It is a very rare calligraphy and painting or a good study of the four treasures. Can his birthday hat show something special among the two of them?

Seeing that the guests had arrived, Father Ye picked up his wine glass and wanted to say a few words. Just see the housekeeper Xiangrong walked in in a panic, echoing something in Father Ye's ear. After hearing what he said, Father Ye immediately put aside his wine glass, stumbling up his hem and walking towards the door.

The guests present were all curious, and they all craned their heads to look out. Seeing that Father Ye was so anxious, the main mother Zhao was also uneasy in her heart, so she hurriedly followed. This sudden situation caused the originally orderly birthday banquet to become somewhat disorderly. Even Guan Qiao, the mother who arranged the birthday banquet, didn't know about it, and the guests who came to the banquet naturally didn't understand what was going on.

Among this group of ignorant people, only one person seemed to have expected it in his chest.

Ye Menghan stared at his eldest brother Ye Menghuai, watching his old god holding a wine glass on the ground and drinking it himself. can think that the situation that made Ye's father so out of shape must be related to Ye Menghuai.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw Father Ye and Zhao respectfully entering the hall with a person. This person is wearing a black robe, embroidered with a golden dragon and embellished with eastern pearls. On the left side of his waist is a golden waist card, on which the four characters of the king are ordered. On the right is a treasure carved dragon jade pendant with a white jade texture.

This gorgeous and unparalleled man is the foreign man that Ye Menghan met outside the gate of Bangchen Garden!

The guests present are also people who have lived in officialdom for a long time, and they actually came here when they saw this person. Immediately they all bowed down.

In fact, the king came here for nothing else, but just to sell his new advisers a face. He came to buy people's hearts, so naturally he couldn't take the lead and take away Ye Menghan's father's face.

Then he waved his hand

"I'm here to celebrate Lord Ye's birthday, how can I take the lead, you don't have to be like this."

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to answer, and strode towards Ye Menghuai's seat. On the way, Ye Menghan, who was sitting behind, was also stunned, but he didn't say anything to her, just looked at her and smiled.

His demeanor was relaxed, but Ye Menghan was made into a cold sweat. There is also Father Ye who also feels this way, so that His Royal Highness King Ling can come to celebrate his birthday, naturally not by his face! But his son was so promising, causing His Royal Highness the Four Princes to come over and sell his face. But in this way, how can he still uphold the middle stream, I'm afraid that after today, he will be regarded as the four princes!

My son is so confused, confused!

With the arrival of the four princes, this birthday banquet is naturally no longer an ordinary family banquet. The guests sat upright one by one, and they didn't dare to make jokes. Father Ye and Zhao sat on the chairman as if they were sitting on pins and needles, and they only looked at King Ling frequently with their eyes, for fear that there would be something inconsiderate.

To say that the most comfortable people at the banquet were Ye Menghuai and Ling Wang, and the two talked and laughed freely. Watching singing and dancing once in a while, it's like an old friend who has known each other for many years. The rest of the people sat in their seats as if they were all in the same place, hoping that the birthday feast would end as soon as possible.

The Biyun class on the stage ended the dance, and it was time for the birthday festival. The first gift was naturally the eldest son Ye Menghuai, who left his seat and walked towards Ye's father step by step. There are countless people who have looked at him along the way. Such a demeanor has to make His Royal Highness droop, and the future of this son is immeasurable. I'm afraid that when his father comes to him in the future, he will also claim to be a lower official.

Ye Menghuai took out a brocade box from his sleeve. This brocade box is not large, and it can be grasped with just one palm. It is covered with four sides, and the silk silk is carefully glued on all sides, and the silk is embroidered with colored threads respectively. Although it is a small one, it must have taken a lot of thought to work hard and finely with the naked eye.

Father Ye naturally likes it, but he has to hold a shelf in front of everyone and King Ling. just waited for Ye Menghuai to send it to him, and when he got it in his hand, he immediately looked at it. At this time, he looked carefully at the brocade box and realized that this small box actually had another ingenuity.

Just gently press the corner of the upper end of the box with your hand, and the lower end of the brocade box will rotate slowly. It wasn't until the box was opened to reveal the contents that a seal carved in Shoushan stone was fully revealed. On both sides of the seal, it is engraved with the words "The bright moon is given to the stars, and the pine is far away to wish ten thousand years of youth." Two birthday greetings.

In the middle is the four big characters of "Father Leaf Chayin" engraved in the shadow. This seal has a beautiful font and smooth carving, which is not only precious in materials, but also rare in its excellent meaning. For a literati like Ye's father, having such a seal made by his son is a very desirable gift.
