Ye Yongjia shrank back, and suddenly thought: "My court clothes are placed in the warm pavilion, why don't you take them and put them on?" So he walked briskly to the east wing, opened the door slowly, walked in sideways, lit a lamp, took it in his hand, went to the warm pavilion to look for the court clothes, and finally touched the bedside, and lifted it with all his might—who knew that under the clothes, there were two large letters, all wrapped in brown paper.

Ye Yongjia's eyes suddenly widened, he hurriedly put the candlestick aside, quickly opened the two letters, and saw that the pen and ink on them were still real, so he moved to look under the light, first the first one:

'Please pass it on to Mrs. Cui: I haven't seen you for many years, I don't know if your family can be safe in the near future? Can my brother be buried? Is there a hardship in making ends meet? I hope you can answer it. I heard that someone from the capital told me that my niece had secretly promised someone before, but I don't know if it's confirmed? There are many people in the township who are angry about this, and they are very insulted. However, I believe that my niece is a person, and I came to ask each other so that the old man can feel at ease. Uncle Cui Hu wrote a letter. ’

A few more lines were written below, which became Choi's handwriting:

'Thank you uncle for your concern, the house is safe, and the livelihood is enough to support itself; My father was extremely grieved and had been buried in a feng shui treasure. As for the rumors outside, they are all spread by good deeds, and there is no way to believe it, so don't worry. The niece bowed her head. ’

Ye Yongjia frowned and continued to look at another one:

Cui Yi received the letter and handed it over to Mrs. Cui: What does niece An dare to be ashamed of? Your father said earlier that you should be a widow all day long and that you should not marry again. How can the father find a new husband when he sees his back, and his filial piety is not taken off? If you are helpless for your livelihood, why not return to your hometown as soon as possible, but instead do the same thing! If there is an unfilial and unchaste woman in my Wuyi sect, it is really a great shame! If you have the slightest conscience, you should apologize for your sins by death, and you can avoid discussions. Aunt Liu's letter. ’

Cui replied cautiously: "My aunt is angry, this is a false rumor, my niece has been keeping filial piety in the house recently, and she has never left the house, and she has not been privately engaged to anyone." Look at the aunt and see clearly. ......Only the last word is blurred, but the shape should be a 'shang' word.

Ye Yongjia read it all, his hands trembled more and more, his anger seemed to burn his chest, and he even had the urge to tear up the letter. But he knew that this would only put his wife in a worse position, so he reluctantly restrained himself, took the letter back in the envelope, put it in its place, turned around and exhaled a breath of indignation, a few tears running down his face. He gritted his teeth, and although the sound was not loud, it was tantamount to a landslide.

Ye Yongjia was stunned for a while, then folded his robe and walked out of the door. He looked at the cold moonlight above his head, and his heart was full of mixed tastes, not a taste. Only then did he realize that the Cui family had suffered so much criticism, but he only kept these sufferings in his heart, and still showed that he was as bright as the sun.

'Why is this world so ruthless to do all kinds of harm to a good woman?' As soon as he thought of Cui's beautiful and moving pictures, Ye Yongjia was even more sullen, "Miss Cui has never even advocated for a thing, and she has reached such a pathetic point that she has to be pointed ......at by a group of sanctimonious villains" Somehow, he began to hate her, annoyed that she was silent, why did she have to work so hard.

As he walked, he felt a sense of fear that her optimistic disposition was a false disguise, not what she was. Thinking of this, Ye Yongjia became more and more anxious, he didn't want the love of these days to turn into a mirror and become a burden on her.

Contradictory thoughts made him feel extremely depressed, and he even forgot the cold of his whole body, and kept wandering in the courtyard, as if this could dispel the difficulties in front of him.

He went down the cloister and looked quietly at the surface of the pond, which was now much calmer, and he leaned against the fence and thought, 'This matter must not be left behind, but there must be a solution.' If I sit idly by because of a little worry in my heart, wouldn't I be disappointed by Miss Cui's affection? ’

Since the two letters were clearly forwarded by Cui Yi, he must know a word or two. It's better to ask about the hometown so that you can get a general idea. After thinking about it, he didn't wait for dawn, took the key himself, and went out of the house in violation of the curfew. When the soldiers patrolling the night saw Ye Yongjia's face, they didn't dare to check, so they turned a blind eye and let him go to Cui's mansion.

Ye Yongjia was afraid that the people inside wouldn't hear it, so he slapped the door a few times and made a bang. Two of the servants' lodgings were not far from the door, when they heard a knock at the door, and woke up suddenly. They all knew that the people who could come to visit at this time were by no means ordinary people, so they hurriedly agreed to the door: "This is coming!" Hurriedly went to the inner courtyard to tell Cui Yi.

Cui Yi had no choice but to beat his spirits, got up on the bed, pressed his temples, and said to his subordinates: "This must be my brother-in-law's arrival!" His whereabouts have been erratic. "Then he put on his plain clothes and greeted him personally; Seeing that it was really Ye Yongjia, he immediately invited him to sit in the hall.

"Ye Bingbu visited late at night, I don't know what happened?" Cui Yi brought a chair and asked.

"There are two things, one is for the public and the other is for the private." Ye Yongjia's expression was solemn.

"Of course, the humble position is to listen to official business first." Cui Yi bowed and said.

"Now King Yi has entered Beijing, but the prince doesn't want him to stay here for a long time, and wants to use the law of the country to coerce him. We know that King Yi raises more guests and treats them well, so I want to let you out of the city and incite them to build momentum for King Yi, but I don't know what to do? I only worry that you are filial piety, and it is difficult to leave home. ”

Cui Yi pondered for a while and said: "My father has passed away, irretrievable, and the state affairs are urgent, and I still need to do my best to contribute. Anyway, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma, so I took off this plain suit and fought for you! ”

"Good! He Xun made a decision, and Ye was no longer worried. ”

"If it's just for this, why did you come here yourself? It is enough to call one person to give orders. Don't you ......" Cui Yi suddenly thought and raised his head nervously, "That private matter is more important?" ”

"Maybe...... Ye Yongjia sighed, and then said, "I saw the letter sent to you by the people in your township. ”

"What did they say?" Cui Yi asked.

"They have heard that your sister has secretly agreed to the family, and they hope that she will clarify the matter...... She prevaricated one by one, but after all, it didn't take long to hide. ”

Cui Yi sneered: "These people originally thought so. No wonder when the sender came, he told me a few words about my sister, saying that one of the people in the clan had a friend in Jingshi, and he wrote back to him at the beginning of the month, saying that we were still living in Jingshi. That person became suspicious because of this, so he decided that my sister's remarriage was out of infidelity, and it was publicized everywhere. This guy is also crooked, provoking these things, so hateful! ”
