Chapter 63: Ye Jin
The two of them came to the front hall, where there was already a man sitting, who looked to be about fifty years old, with a little silver in his hair, a burly figure, wearing a dark tunic with sleeves, just sitting upright on the main seat of the front hall, and already in his own style.
This person's appearance is seven or eight points similar to Ye Yuanzhou, but he is more mature, and there are more vicissitudes, and there is a long scar on his cheek, which is not obvious or terrifying, but it makes his appearance a little harder.
From a distance, Du Ruo had already guessed the identity of the other party, so he followed Ye Yuanzhou to the front hall, Ye Yuanzhou respectfully called his father, Du Ruo also saluted in a proper manner, and said, "I've seen General Ye."
The general Ye Jin raised his eyes and looked at the two people, the veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time, his eyes were sharp when he looked at people, as if he could see through people at a glance.
However, Du Ruo is very calm, she has never been afraid of upright and majestic people, but in comparison, it is an inscrutable person like Yu Wenque that makes her even more afraid.
"You're the female tanhua from before?" Ye Jin looked at Du Ruo with a pair of sharp eyes, "I heard that the official Feng Songzhou Sima has only been in a short period of more than a month, and he has investigated the case of 'Hongyanlu', which has benefited the people."
When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. ”
Du Ruo didn't expect that this General Ye had a very kind attitude towards herself, she was originally worried that this person would be an old-fashioned person, and she was particularly resistant to the matter of a woman entering the court as an official.
"The general is overrated! Du Ruo just made a mistake and almost became the medicine man in the 'Hongyanlu' case, so he took the opportunity to investigate.
Speaking of which, when I first arrived at the boundary of Songzhou, I was unfortunately in danger, thanks to Brother Yuanzhou who saved me from fire and water, and without his great help, the 'Hongyanlu' case could not have been investigated so deeply.
Brother Yuanzhou is the one who has the greatest credit in this matter, if it weren't for him, I would be a woman who can't carry it on my shoulders and lift it in my hands, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm also powerless. Du Ruo responded respectfully, and praised Ye Yuanzhou by the way, "Brother Yuanzhou is brave and resourceful, which really makes me admire!" ”
Listening to Du Ruo's praise, Ye Yuanzhou's ears flushed slightly, his face was still calm, and he only said "I'm ashamed".
After hearing what Du Ruo said, Ye Jin moved his eyes to his son on the side, Du Ruo thought that he would praise a few words, even if he was embarrassed to praise in front of outsiders, he should at least be encouraged.
Unexpectedly, Ye Jin said to Ye Yuanzhou: "You are the captain of the light car in Songzhou, which is a position in the army, and you should not interfere too much in the affairs of the state and county.
This time it is considered that there is a reason for it, the Holy One is generous and open-minded, and does not care about you, but you must remember not to get carried away and become even worse!
Don't always feel that you have great abilities but have been buried, do you remember what I told you before? ”
Ye Yuanzhou's attitude towards his father was not surprised, but his originally calm face looked a little more imperceptible at the moment.
He nodded: "The child remembers, his father said that he should keep his light and keep his eyes open, and he must not show his edge." ”
Ye Jin nodded with satisfaction, and when he talked to his son, he didn't have a smile on his face, and then first beckoned Du Ruo to sit down for tea, and then asked if Ye Yuanzhou's martial arts had improved.
Ye Yuanzhou had questions and answers with him, obviously they were father and son, but when they spoke, they seemed to be unfamiliar with their superiors and subordinates.
In contrast, Ye Jin's attitude towards Du Ruo was a little more enthusiastic than that towards his own son.
He asked Du Ruo how he had thought that a woman would go to participate in the men's scientific examination, and how he would have the courage to intervene in the investigation of the "Hongyanlu" case, especially after hearing that the victims involved in the Hongyanlu case were all horrible and terrifying, he was even more surprised by Du Ruo's courage and insight.
"Miss Du is really a rare strange woman in this world!" After chatting for a long time, Ye Jin's attitude towards Du Ruo was always kind, "Since you still have to face the saint this time, Your Majesty may have other things for you to do, and the old man will leave you soon!"
In the future, if you come to the capital again, if you don't dislike it, please come to the house again, my daughters in the family, the age is not much different from you, except for a little bit of fur kung fu with me when I was young, nothing has been accomplished.
I also want them to see what a promising woman can look like. ”
Du Ruo was a little embarrassed by his praise, and hurriedly modestly said that the general Miao praised it.
Ye Jin glanced at Ye Yuanzhou, who was silently drinking tea on the side: "Although my son is good at martial arts, he doesn't know much about it, and he is very stupid. ”
Ye Yuanzhou's face turned a little red, a little annoyed, and because of his father's majesty, he was inconvenienced, so he could only turn his face away and pretend that he hadn't heard anything.
Du Ruo didn't think Ye Yuanzhou was stupid, but she couldn't refute him in front of Ye Jin, so she could only listen respectfully, and faintly felt that there was something intriguing between Ye Jin's words and words.
In the evening, Ye Jin asked people to set up a large table of sumptuous meals, and entertained Du Ruo with the specifications of entertaining VIPs.
According to common sense, although the people of the Great Yin Dynasty were civilized, the banquet guests were generally the male host who beckoned the male guests to drink and talk happily in the front, and the female hostess was responsible for entertaining the female guests and eating in the back house.
But because Du Ruo was personally appointed by the emperor as the Sima of Songzhou, an official of the imperial court, Ye Jin did not hand her over to the female relatives to greet her in the backyard like an ordinary female guest at home.
Fortunately, Du Ruo grew up in an atmosphere without so many etiquette constraints since she was a child, and her father Du Zhong was a free and casual person, and she had never been domesticated with female virtue and female appearance.
Therefore, sitting upright on the table at this time, even if it was the man of the Ye family who greeted her, Du Ruo did not feel so uncomfortable.
Everyone greeted and sat down, and a person came in from the outside, wearing a blue narrow-sleeved robe, walking with wind under his feet, and before the person arrived, the voice had already come first.
"Father, I heard that the second brother is back? But really? ”
When Ye Yuanzhou heard this, he stood up and greeted him, and when the visitor saw him, he immediately laughed, grabbed him, and looked back and forth: "Let my brother see, has there been any change in the appearance of my second brother!" ”
Ye Yuanzhou also smiled and said hello: "Brother, don't come to harm!" ”
"You kid, you're ruthless!" The son of the Ye family patted him on the shoulder, "I have been away from home for so long, I even thought about coming back to take a look!" I haven't even sent a letter back to my family on weekdays, do you know how my family cares about you! ”
