Chapter 55

Ye Li was the champion of martial arts in the examination, and the most shocked were the three sisters in the second room, Ye Rong almost dropped the teapot in the house again, and was desperately protected by the maid, now she has so little moon silver a month, and it will be useless if she drops the teapot again.

Ye Rong went to the outer courtyard angrily, and did not find the second master, but found Ye Ji.

"Second brother, why are you still in the mood to read, then Ye Li is the champion!" When Ye Rong saw Ye Ji holding the book, the anger in her heart became even stronger.

Ye Ji put the book down, "Then what can I do, he has already won, and the emperor list has been posted." He didn't expect Ye Li to be able to succeed, since he was a child, Ye Li's grades in the academy were not as good as his own, Ye Li liked to dance with knives and guns, he always scoffed, thinking that he was not doing his job, Unexpectedly, Ye Li won the champion and soared to the sky, and he himself was still a showman. If you want to say that his heart is uneven, he is more unfair than anyone else.

"Ye Li has won the champion, the second brother is a ......" Ye Rong sat aside angrily, "Even if you win the champion, what if you win the champion, it's not a fight and kill all day long, and when the second brother wins the champion, it's the real scenery!"

Ye Ji didn't answer, he only felt that his throat was bitter, he was the champion, how easy it was to talk about it, he didn't even dare to think about it now.

Within two days, Ye Li awarded General Zhaoyong of the third grade, and waited for the soldiers to be assigned to the actual position. The military department is quite difficult, although it is a martial champion, but the age is younger, it stands to reason that he can be released as a deputy general, but it is so small, he can't be convincing if he is released. Ye Li is the prince of the Hou Mansion, and it is quite suitable to enter Jinwuwei, but his own wish is to go to the military camp.

After pondering for a few days, the people of the military department decided to put him in the western camp on the outskirts of Beijing, where he would be trained for a year or two before being released.

When you enter the barracks, you don't have as comfortable as home. Not to mention that there is no small servant to serve, the food must be the same as everyone in the barracks, and they have to work hard every day. Meng Shi was distressed and helpless, watching people pack up his baggage, after all, it was a military camp, and he couldn't bring many things, just a few clothes.

Ye Qian was also very reluctant, tearfully holding Ye Li's hand and refusing to let go, "Brother, brother general, don't fight when you get to the barracks, if you can't beat you-no, my brother is a martial champion, how can I not fight, if someone beats you, my brother will fight back!" "She'd heard that the people in the barracks were very fond of fighting.

Ye Li helped her wipe away her tears funny, he was reluctant to let his sister go, he had brought it up by himself since he was a child, "Qianqian, don't cry, my brother will come back to see you when he is free." "The military camp is not open all year round, and a rank like him can still take a day off at the end of the decade, just like the civilian officials.

It was easy to coax his mother and sister well, Ye Li followed his father to the study, and before leaving, his father always had to teach.

Ye Chengyuan's eyes were deep, his son was only seven years old when he left, and he had grown up when he came back, and he relied on his own strength to fight for a piece of the world. He doesn't have much to teach him, but he can still talk about the way of being a person, the way of life, and the way of officialdom.

……

The second old man Ye Chengxun was very depressed for a while, Ye Li really won the martial champion as he feared, and also awarded General Zhaoyong, and Dafang's luck is really getting better and better. However, he finally encountered a good thing.

The emperor has recently had a great interest in Taoism and pills, and the prince spent a lot of effort, and finally invited the prestigious Qingyun Dao Chang to enter the palace for the emperor's alchemy.

The emperor was very suspicious of this call for wind and rain, and since the head of Qingyun Dao had accepted the crown prince, he naturally wanted to prove his strength. So, Qingyun Dao Chang said that on the day of entering the palace, he would do it on the spot, and the sky would rain down.

Now the emperor's interest was completely aroused, and he did it on the spot, and it was clear whether it was successful or not, whether it was raining or not, but there was no way to get through the tricks, could it be that this Qingyun Dao Chief was really a master?

The emperor ordered the Ministry of Works to build a rooftop platform for the use of the Qingyun Dao Chief.

Qingyun Dao Chang was invited by the prince, and Tongtiantai was also supervised by the prince, under the instruction of the prince, the purchase of materials for this Tongtiantai fell to the second master Ye Chengxun, which was also a good thing that Ye Fu asked for his father after great efforts.

Ye Chenghun is almost happy to death, he is just a small minister of the Ministry of Industry, it stands to reason that it is impossible for such a big fat difference in material procurement to fall on him, but who allows himself to have a good daughter. Speaking of which, he happened to know a businessman who sold all kinds of building materials, named Gao Mingqi, who was an old acquaintance of Jiping Houfu. Buying from him, not only can you get good goods, but the price is also cheap, this errand can not only be done beautifully and decently, but also can leave a lot of benefits, it is simply perfect!

King Yu and Ye Chengyuan were also discussing the matter of this Qingyun Dao Chief. Ye Chengyuan is an amazing and brilliant figure, not entering the court, it does not mean that he has nothing to do, King Yu often talks to him about important matters.

"Is there really anyone who can call the wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers?" Ye Chengyuan was very skeptical of this, he didn't believe in Taoism, and he didn't believe that anyone could become an immortal, "But if it doesn't work, how dare he boast that he wants to do it on the spot?" ”

"I guess he has some idea, maybe he is just good at looking at the sky, and can accurately guess when there will be a sudden rainstorm." King Yu had no doubt that in his previous life, this Qingyun Dao Chang really succeeded, he did it on the Tongtian platform, and after half an hour, the originally clear and cloudless sky was cloudy and rainy, and it didn't take long for a torrential rain. Since then, his father has been highly respectful of Qingyun Daoist, and the pills he took were all refined by Qingyun Daoist himself.

And with Qingyun Dao Chang, the crown prince is also smooth, and King Rui is not his opponent at all. King Yu's fingers slowly rubbed the teacup in his hand, this Qingyun Dao Chang is really a strong opponent, much more difficult to deal with than the prince, in his previous life, he took a lot of effort to make a gap between his father and Qingyun, and took the opportunity to introduce another Taoist to his father, so that he had the capital to compete with the prince.

"In any case, we can't let Qingyun enter the palace this time." King Yu made a decision, since his father needed pills and Taoist priests, he would recommend one to him by himself, but it must not be Qingyun recommended by the prince.

Ye Chengyuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "It's okay, this time let's cut the grass and eradicate the roots, this material procurement on the rooftop actually fell on Ye Chengxun, it's really a good opportunity." I know who he's going to go to, hehe, that man, but he's been saved by me. "This time, you can kill two birds with one stone, and solve Qingyun and Ye Chenghun at once.

When King Yu heard this, he also smiled, and his beautiful thin lips were gently hooked, "Very good." "If Daoist Qingyun is killed at this time, his father will definitely think that he is a mediocre person, and the crown prince who introduced him will also be suspected by his father. As for Ye Chengxun, who killed Qingyun, he will inevitably be convicted, but it will not affect the clansmen.

Ye Chengxun found Gao Mingqi beautifully, took the list issued by the Ministry of Industry, and showed it to him.

Gao Mingqi looked at it carefully, "Thanks to the second master for taking care of my business, since the second master is on an errand for the emperor, I will also let it go, these things are given to the second master at cost price, as long as the second master takes care of me more in the future, and gives me publicity and publicity in the Ministry of Industry, don't forget me if there is such a good thing." ”

Ye Chenghun is so happy that he is about to go to heaven, the cost price is good, he takes the goods from Gao Mingqi at the cost price, and then reports to the Ministry of Industry according to the market price, this time he can make a lot of money. It just so happened that since Meng Shi took charge of the feed, he was short of money, and with this silver, he could live for a while.

Ye Chengxun paid a deposit with the silver of the Ministry of Labor, and agreed to pick up the goods three days later, and the Ministry of Industry chose a place in the palace in the past two days to prepare for the construction, and it was a few days after using these materials, and there was no delay at all for three days.

Watching Ye Chengxun sway and leave triumphantly, Gao Mingqi shook his head, he was originally saved by the Hou Ye, but whenever the Hou Mansion had materials that needed to be repaired, he provided them at the lowest market price, even after the Hou Ye "died", I didn't expect that Ye Chengxun was so black-hearted, the Hou Ye accident was actually killed by him, if the Hou Ye didn't tell him personally, he really couldn't believe it.

……

At the end of October, Ye Qian waited early in the morning, her brother went to the barracks, and she didn't know if she could come back today. When I arrived, the chores in the house were all dealt with, and when I returned to Siyuan Hall, I still didn't see my brother.

Meng Shi listened to Lu Yizheng's instructions to recuperate and recuperate in the first three months, and today, he also got up frequently and looked at the gate of the hospital.

Ye Chengyuan was a little funny, but after leaving for a few days, the mother and daughter were worried like this. Laughing and smiling, and a little sad, I have been away for seven years, and I don't know how my wife is worried, and there has been no news, thinking that when I am dead, how I am in pain and sadness. They were persecuted by the second room and the old lady, and the mother and son relied on each other until today, and their son left, they were naturally reluctant.

Ye Li came back all the way back, and the western camp was a little far away, even if he set off early in the morning, it would be time to return to the Hou Mansion. He crossed the flower and tree path in the outer courtyard and heard his sister's voice: "Brother! He looked up, and his sister, who was waiting at the second gate, jumped up and ran towards him happily.

"Qianqian." Ye Lixing's eyes were full of gentle smiles, and after leaving for a few days, he remembered his sister the most. Spread his arms, caught her little body that rushed over, and when she stood firm, Ye Li straightened up, took her hand, and walked towards Siyuantang.

"Is Qianqian well-behaved?" "Did my brother eat well?"

The two asked at the same time, Ye Qian raised her head and looked at her brother, and the two laughed at the same time.

Ye Qian nodded first, "I have a good one, and I have a good meal." And what about my brother? ”

Ye Li held her little fat hand, he never worried about his sister's eating. "I've had a good meal, too." Naturally, the food in the barracks can't be compared with at home, but fortunately, he has already been mentally prepared, no matter what the taste, as long as he fills his stomach.

"Then did anyone bully my brother, and did my brother fight with anyone?" This is what Ye Qian is most worried about.

Ye Li smiled, "No one bullied my brother, and there was no fight, Qianqian rest assured." "There are people in the barracks who bully their lives, and that means that some veterans bully the new soldiers, but he is the general Zhaoyong of the third grade, the righteous martial champion, and the dignified prince of the world, who dares to bully him? Even if someone is not convinced, they will talk to him openly, not to mention bullying and fighting.
