Chapter 42: Old Friends
Ye Yunyi raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all, the long hair tied up, the green hair on his body, the moon-white robe, and the sideburns scattered at random flew up and down under the tudding of the breeze.
And Xu Tingwei on the side, holding his half-drunk body, leaned on the window edge, humming Chu rumors.
And after eating, Mo Xiaoyi knew that Xu Tingwei must have something to say to Ye Yunyi, so he walked and ate back to Yefu with a bunch of dim sum.
"Brother Ye, sometimes, I really doubt whether you belong to the Ye family after all", Xu Tingwei, who was reddened by alcohol, looked at Ye Yunyi with some envy.
"Oh, what do you say?" , Ye Yunyi looked at the scenery in front of him and was intoxicated, and Xu Tingwei's question was also answered casually.
"As far as I know, your Ye family has been a military general for generations, but when you come here, you are more like a scholar, a strategist who wins thousands of miles away, and you don't want to be a military general at all", Xu Tingwei said intermittently.
"Yes, maybe it's because I've been sick since I was a child," Ye Yunyi retracted his gaze and said to Xu Tingwei next to him.
Ye Yunyi didn't want to tell Xu Tingwei about his identity as the master of the Secret Pavilion, it was better to keep a little secret between friends, besides, knowing his identity would not be beneficial to Xu Tingwei.
"Sometimes, I really envy you, my father is a man in the army, maybe in the future, you will inherit your father's business and serve in the army, instead of being like me, you can only stay in this forbidden palace forever." Xu Tingwei, who was a little self-deprecating, told his heart.
Ye Yunyi knows about Xu Tingwei's life experience, Xu Tingwei's life experience is very similar to Cao Xueqin in later generations, his grandfather is the county guard of Fengqi Prefecture, one of the thirteen states of Chu State, and his mother was the cousin of the Empress Dowager Li Jingzhi.
However, with such a life experience, he can still only serve as the court lieutenant of the Chu Palace, responsible for the safety of the entire Chu Palace. Maybe it's because the wine is strong and intimidating, at this moment, Xu Tingwei confided his truest thoughts in his heart.
"You know what my greatest wish is, I want to be a veritable general, lead the three armies, fight against the enemy, defend the land of the country, kill all the enemies who come to attack, Jin Ge Iron Horse, and dominate the world." Xu Tingwei, who had lost most of his wine by the wind, was in high spirits and pointed out the window with one hand.
"Brother Ye, do you know, a few days ago, I heard that some thieves in the West Sea have invaded the land of my Great Chu and wantonly slaughtered the people of my Great Chu.
"Brother Xu, it will be realized in the future", now Ye Yunyi felt that everything he said here seemed so pale and powerless.
Just when the two were talking loudly, a knock on the door sounded out of place, and both of them were a little surprised, after all, what the two of them talked about just now was a bit out of line, and it stands to reason that a private room like this should be well insulated.
"Who", Xu Tingwei Xu Zifu asked a little angrily.
"Xu Gongzi, I'm bothered, I don't know where the distinguished guests have arrived, where the rudeness is, I still look at Xu Gongzi Haihan, I have prepared a grand party below, just to accompany Xu Gongzi."
Full of charm, and some soft and soft voices sounded outside the door, which immediately calmed down the originally irritable Xu Tingwei.
This voice made Ye Yunyi feel very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
Xu Tingwei opened the door, Ye Yunyi was still standing at the window, presumably someone who had a relationship with Xu Tingwei. But Ye Yunyi was not interested in this, a glass of spirits in his stomach, the burning sensation in his throat, allowed him to use this to make his brain turn slower, otherwise it would be a little annoying to think about things all the time.
"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Qin, didn't I invite a friend to come here for a drink, don't get in the way, don't get in the way", I was angry before, and suddenly seemed to be a different person, just now I was still arrogant here in Ye Yunyi, and now I have become cheap.
Ye Yunyi was also a little curious, turned his head to look, and saw the two people standing outside the door, one was the shopkeeper of the inn just now, and the other must be the person who had just spoken.
With light makeup and a beautiful figure, she has a somewhat similar face to the current queen Qin Luoyao, and she just met Ye Yunyi's eyes.
"That's the case, I don't know if Xu Gongzi wants to participate in the next banquet." The soft voice always carries an irresistible magic.
Because the window in front of Ye Yunyi was just blocked by half of the screen, the people outside the door only saw half of Ye Yunyi's figure.
But Ye Yunyi's dusty and elegant temperament still attracted a burst of curiosity from people outside the door, his temperament was so outstanding, and he was also called a friend by Xu Zifu, and he was probably also an extremely powerful person.
"I have a guest here, next time", Xu Tingwei wanted to agree like this, a noble son like him has long been accustomed to such a banquet, and it is Qin Yuelong, who he has always admired, to invite, so he is a little moved.
But when he thought of Ye Yunyi, who was still there, it seemed a little rude to throw Ye Yunyi down like this, or to make a decision for Ye Yunyi, Xu Tingwei looked at Ye Yunyi's side, and then at the beautiful Drunken Immortal Pavilion boss in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and refused the invitation.
"Oh, it must be an important guest, since that's the case, I'll bother, Uncle De, serve the wine, this is the lotus fragrance that our restaurant has researched the latest research, so it should be accompanied by Xu Gongzi, and the concubine will retire."
With such a style of doing things, it is difficult to make people dissatisfied.
And seeing what kind of person outside the door Ye Yunyi felt a little empty, this is almost a rare thing in Ye Yunyi's life, no wonder how can he hear the voice so familiar.
When the Qin family had not yet declined, the residence was next to the Ye family, only separated by a wall, and Ye Yunyi had just crossed over at that time, Ye Yunyi's favorite thing was to eavesdrop on the flute from next door in his spare time.
It's no wonder that Ye Yunyi just arrived to get acquainted, and he still remembers that he once secretly leaned on his home to peek because he was curious about what kind of person could play such a beautiful flute.
Ye Yunyi was eight years old that year, but he pretended to be a thirty-four-year-old soul, and the girl who played in the garden was at the age of seventeen or eighteen years old when she was as gorgeous as a flower, which suddenly made Ye Yunyi crazy.
And the figure in the garden also discovered Ye Yunyi's eavesdropping, but he didn't break it, and deliberately raised the tone, the two seemed to have a tacit understanding, and in the days to come, they both liked to play and listen to the nearest place.
Later, it was the acquaintance of Ye Yunyi and Qin Luoyao, who would have thought that Qin Luoyao and Qin Yuelong were only ten years apart, but Qin Yuelong was Qin Luoyao's sister-in-law.
As if it was a fetter of fate, Ye Yunyi's relationship with them became more and more unclear after that.
