"Isn't it Cui Yi who is mourning at home?" Dong Sheng looked at Ye Yongjia's excited expression and guessed boldly.

"It's him," Ye Yongjia nodded, "Although he is from our faction and is also in power in the court, he has been in mourning for a long time, and no one has paid attention to him. If he is unprepared and makes him secretly go out of the city, who can know? However, this matter is related to a great gift, and he is really reluctant to do it, so he needs to ask for it by letter and try his attitude. ”

Cai Xianqing laughed: "Why should Tinglong worry? Then Cui and Xun are bent on seeking merit and moving when they see the opportunity, how can they be bound by the big gifts? All you have to do is send a weekly messenger to call him, and that's a lot easier. ”

Ye Yongjia waved his hand and replied to him: "That's what I said, but it's too much of Xun's face, I have to give him a step down." Don't worry, I'll go back and figure it out. ”

Wan Yuzhi and the others saw that they had not come up with a conclusion, and they wanted to admonish them again, but Cai Xianqing stopped them with a smile: "The military department has been successful, so you can rest assured." ”

"The master is back!" An old servant was coming out of the inner hall, and when he looked at it from a distance, he saw Ye Yongjia standing on the corridor and went to greet him in a panic.

"The old man doesn't have to salute," Ye Yongjia stepped forward to support him and asked eagerly, "I don't know where Madame is now?" ”

The old servant smiled and said, "Madame and those maids are doing needlework in the wing, the master wants to see them, and the little ones will go back to report immediately." ”

"No," Ye Yongjia hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop, "Don't disturb her." I'll just go myself. ”

Ye Yongjia walked through the inner hall alone, entered the east wing, and saw the two maids guarding the outside, so he leaned down and asked softly, "Who else is in the warm pavilion?" ”

The maid bowed her head and replied, "It's the lady and the three maids." ”

Ye Yongjia glanced at the door of the warm pavilion: "Go, tell them, come out." ”

"Yes, sir."

The two maids obeyed the order honestly, and after a short time of entering the house, they went out with their subordinates, leaving the needle and thread at hand.

Ye Yongjia immediately raised the curtain and entered, and saw that Cui's was still wearing plain clothes, half-smiling, without makeup, and his eyebrows were picturesque.

Cui Shi has not met him in the past few days, and now it is difficult to hide the excitement in his heart, and he even wants to pounce on him and call his name; But suddenly something came to mind, so he pressed that thought down, and stepped forward with a respectful salute.

Ye Yongjia was slightly stunned, so he had to return the salute and sit down with Cui's family.

"Madame, I've been so busy with those chores lately that I don't have any spare time to accompany you. Today, I finally seized an opportunity, and I came back from the beginning of business, and I will fold flowers and admire the moon with you, and live happily for a day! You don't blame me for being a selfish person. Ye Yongjia slowly took her hand and said with a laugh.

Cui Shi smiled and said, "I'm just a woman, how can I hinder my husband's eternal cause?" I'm ashamed of it. If you do this again in the future, you will never be able to do so. ”

When Ye Yongjia heard this, he raised a finger and gently put it on her mouth: "I don't want to listen to these nonsense." Madame is so contemptuous and despiseful, didn't she scold me like this? ”

So Cui Shi smiled and said nothing.

Ye Yongjia caught a glimpse of his court clothes by the window, and reached out to take them, but was stopped by Cui's hand, and glared at him seriously: "This dress hasn't been sewn for you yet, what are you doing with him?" It's already a little broken, so don't touch it. ”

Ye Yongjia withdrew his hand, but instead went to brush her black hair, and softly comforted: "Okay, okay, I will listen to Madame's orders in everything." It's just that this complement is broken, and it's fine, it's just that when I go to the court, I wear it a few times occasionally, why is it so concerned......"

"What are these words?" Cui Shi turned his head and muttered, "You are a hero admired by the dynasty, who doesn't know that your ambition to save the world is rare in this world." If you don't trim the edges and don't pay attention to the appearance, it's like a little dirt on the jade, how can you let it be an eyesore there? ”

"Madam, if I even have to think about what it should be like to be an official in my daily life, wouldn't I be a snob?" Ye Yongjia stood up suddenly, "Could it be that if I get along with you day and night, I can't throw away these false names from the outside world and treat each other like civilians?" ”

Cui Shiyi looked at him and said: "The reason why I was willing to marry you in the first place is that I respect you for your liver and ambition...... To others is a false name, but to you will never be. ”

Ye Yongjia sat down again, looked at her sincerely, stroked each of her slender fingers, and there were some tears in his eyes: "I...... I don't want to hear that. ”

Cui Shi bowed his head silently.

Ye Yongjia sighed, and his tone was resolute: "There are many people who respect me, but Miss Cui can't respect me!" I and you, as long as the word 'love'. Those real feelings, the feelings that can burst out, are not the so-called respect, the so-called respect for each other...... I hate all hypocrisy, even the slightest bit of it, and it makes me miserable...... I've been through this a thousand times, and I'm going to live in this hypocrisy ever since. Miss Cui, please...... Please leave me this only place of refuge, and don't let me think about these things here anymore. ”

Cui Shi looked at him steadily, but he could not see anything in his deep gaze, and there was no way to find out what he had been through. Of course, she has infinite true feelings for him, but she always can't help but admire this 'hero' and is deeply proud of his brilliance. It was not her fault, but she was too humble in the light to dare not go beyond the propriety, and looked up to him like a slave, as if she were afraid of tarnishing her original brilliance.

She didn't understand it very much, but when she saw Ye Yongjia so hurt, she was also sad for him, and shed two lines of tears: "Husband...... I know, I know, I know......"

"Okay, that's good......" Ye Yongjia said word by word, his eyes gradually turned red, and he slowly leaned on Cui's arms, repeating this sentence like a whisper. Cui Shi did not move, only stared at him for a long time, and the two were speechless for a long time.

After a while, Ye Yongjia's mood calmed down a little, but this one thing still lingered in his heart, so he was unhappy and had no intention of dealing with Cui Yi's matter again, so he immediately went back to the dormitory, and after a moment, he had fallen asleep.

In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the street, and Ye Yongjia suddenly opened his eyes and woke up as if he heard it. He saw that an extra layer of quilt had been added to his body, and when he turned sideways, Cui Shi was already asleep on the side.

He sighed slightly, then moved the quilt to her, and he got up slightly, put his shoes through at will, and walked into the courtyard alone.

Unexpectedly, it was cold at night, and as soon as he came out of the bedroom, a cold wind blew in his face, and he immediately shivered a few times, and his mind was dizzy.
