In the hall, the aroma is wafting. Heaven's Voice'

The aroma of agarwood, the aroma of pear charcoal, and the aroma of delicacies are mixed together to form a strange but pleasant smell.

The Ye family has always been simple, and even the hall where Mrs. Ye is located does not have Sydney charcoal, which is obviously specially purchased for this old man.

Walking lightly into the hall, Qingyang saw two old men, each drinking according to a lenient table, and there were two young and beautiful maids cutting meat on the side of the ding.

A piece of antelope's front leg meat, cut by a white beast tooth knife, is square and one finger long and wide, which is in line with the gift of feasting and drinking, and exudes a rich meat fragrance.

Behind the desk on the left is a young old man in his sixties, dressed in a blue-gray cotton robe, a dark brown leather coat, and a retainer's crown on his head.

Among the knighted retainers, there are very few people who are qualified to wear crowns, and this old man is obviously extraordinary in the Ye family, but his thin and dark appearance is like a monkey and a crown.

No matter how funny and ridiculous the old man looked, Qingyang still had a solemn face and did not show the slightest smile.

Dr. Ye valued Mr. Puyang so much, but entrusted the old man to sit with him for a drink, and during the banquet, he was also commensurate with his brother, and it was necessary to maintain respect for him.

I saw that Dr. Ye was an uncle to the old man, and his tone was full of respect from the heart, and Qingyang affirmed this guess.

The little old man behind the case did not have the slightest appearance of pride, and hurriedly got up and dodged to the side when Dr. Ye bowed down.

He also returned the salute with a wry smile: "Why does the head of the family treat me as an outsider all day long? It is inevitable that I will lose my identity in front of the family servants!"

Doctor Ye smiled respectfully: "Thirty years ago, when the Ye family was in the most difficult situation, the retainers, private troops, and leaders scattered in all directions, and the mother of the family struggled to support it.

At that time, only if you never gave up, busy all day long, collecting food, and running around, so that my mother and son would not endure hunger and cold, could the Ye family be the doctor's home again, how could you not afford this ceremony?"

Half of these words were said to Mr. Puyang, intended to show the Ye family's kindness, and the other half was to tell Qingyang to know that he should not despise this unattractive old man.

The old man of the Ye clan nodded kindly to Qingyang, and he noticed that the young man did not have the slightest contempt just now, but his face was full of respect, which made him very satisfied.

Immediately chuckled and said, "The eldest lady has a good eye!"

Doctor Ye chuckled, straightened his clothes and turned to the right, and smiled at the other old man: "The junior asks the old gentleman to bow down." ”

"Hmmm······"

Mr. Puyang replied casually, and then said slowly, "The old man has been bothering for a few days, and you will bring outsiders here, don't you think the old man has bored you?"

Qingyang looked at this Mr. Puyang carefully, it is said that he is seventy years old this year, but he can't see the appearance of an old man at all, and his face seems to be only more than fifty years old.

Compared with the funny appearance of the old man of the Ye family, Mr. Puyang looks dignified.

High forehead and broad face, full facial features, wide ears, and most of the two-foot beard is white, but it is more fairy-like.

Looking at the appearance, this is an elegant old man, but his figure is extremely tall and burly, even after kneeling on the desk, he is almost as tall as the shoulders of the girl next to him, and he is at least nine feet tall when he stands up.

This burly and tall figure made him not like a literati, but more like a martial artist, and his sharp eyes were shining, and Qingyang felt that only Zuo Shigong Candle Dragon could compare with him.

Especially when this sentence was said with a slight reproach, with sharp eyes, the powerful aura exuded was in no way inferior to that of Uncle Yun Yu Shangqing, and even Dr. Ye couldn't help sweating on his forehead.

Wiping his forehead with his sleeve, Dr. Ye said respectfully: "The old gentleman came to the cold house, the family is full of luxury, and the younger generation is too late to rejoice, how can he be bored."

This young man is a junior in the next generation, and today he is just bringing him to increase his knowledge, and the old gentleman hopes not to be surprised!"

Seeing that Mr. Puyang did not answer, Dr. Ye continued to bow down and said, "Just now outside the courtyard gate, I saw that all the carefully cooked meat had withdrawn, was the old gentleman dissatisfied? ”

"No need!"

Mr. Puyang shook his head lightly and said: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, the more you entertain you, the more uneasy I feel in my heart." ”

"The younger generation is not talented enough, and he has never followed the sage to study, but the people under his command can still be fed and clothed, and the people of Beilin City are not hungry and cold. ”

Doctor Ye's posture was more respectful, but Mr. Puyang still shook his head and said, "Alas, this matter is not Xing Guo's business, and I can't tell you in detail!"

The Mr. Puyang didn't speak, and continued to hold the only two plates of green melons and vegetables on the table, and didn't even look at the other meat.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was awkward, the old man of the Ye family beckoned to the two maids and asked them to exit the hall.

Doctor Ye stepped forward respectfully and said, "Sir, the junior has been uneasy recently, and I want to ask Mr. some questions!"

"You want to ask about the Beilin City Lord, right?"

Mr. Puyang finally raised his head, stared at Doctor Ye for a moment and nodded: "For the sake of these two plates of fresh melons and vegetables, as well as the face of the elder brother of the case, I will also say a few words casually." ”

"The old gentleman instructs, and the juniors listen attentively!" Doctor Ye immediately bowed down and listened.

"Since Fei Zhong was arrested, Doctor Cheng was reprimanded by the monarch, and the Ye family has become the only doctor in Beilin City, and more than ten vassals have come to visit 6 in the last few days, do you feel very happy?"

"This ······"

Doctor Ye hesitated for a moment, but still honestly admitted, "Now there is only one junior in the family of doctors within a thousand miles of Beilin City.

Regardless of whether the juniors can be promoted to the position of city lord or not, they will come to make contact, even if they can't have any friendship, they will try to avoid dislike with the Ye family.

What's more, they are all old friends who have known each other for more than ten years, and their attitudes are so sincere, I can't close the door, so I will talk a little!"

"Bullshit!"

Mr. Puyang shouted violently, so frightened that Dr. Ye couldn't help but tremble, and there was even a sound of a wooden plate falling outside the door, obviously frightened the little maid who was not far away.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the eyes of the old brother who bound the case, I wouldn't be too lazy to care about your life or death!"

The old man stared at Doctor Ye dissatisfiedly,

"As a doctor of a country, every move of the court is involved in yourself, haven't you paid attention to the situation in front of the court?"

"Mr. is angry, the younger generations of the situation in the DPRK and China are always paying attention, and at the moment, regarding the Beilin City Lord, the four Shangqing have each recommended candidates.

Zuo Shigong, Xing Shuming and others strongly opposed it, so the king was in a dilemma for a while and did not come to a conclusion for a long time!"

Doctor Ye tried to defend himself, but his face was full of doubts, and he didn't know why the old man was so angry.

Qingyang was also curious, and wanted to hear what was unique about this old gentleman's opinion.

"It's really rotten wood that can't be carved!"

Mr. Puyang's mostly gray beard trembled, supported his waist with one hand and pressed on the desk with the other, and leaned forward slightly:

"The three cities of Beilin, the key pass of Xingguo, the city of golden soup, the throat of the land, is related to the stability of the entire northern frontier of Xingguo, how could Xinghou let it fall into the hands of others?

Therefore, the more fierce the competition between several Shangqing, the less chance they have, and Xing Hou will only select those who have not been attached to the Shangqing and are very familiar with Beilin City to appoint.

Looking at the vassals above the doctor in Xing Guozhong, and the person who is suitable to serve as the lord of Beilin City, you are the only one!" )
