The person who came looked at Ye Yuanzhouzai carefully, patted his big arm, and smiled heartily and affectionately: "The second brother has lost some weight, I don't know where to be in Songzhou, but I am not used to eating and drinking, and I am not comfortable living?" ”

"No, I ate and slept soundly in Songzhou, brother rest assured." Ye Yuanzhou shook his head with a smile, and helped Du Ruo introduce by the way, "Brother, this is Xinke Tanhua, Songzhou Sima Duruo."

Du Ruo, this is my eldest brother Ye Qinglin, officially named General Xuanwei. ”

Du Ruo hurriedly got up and saluted, Ye Qinglin was stunned, his eyes quickly looked at Du Ruo, and his eyes wandered between her and Ye Yuanzhou without a trace: "I was just thinking, why today's family banquet is extraordinarily grand, and there are female guests on the banquet, it turns out that this is the female Tanhua!"

I've heard about it before, but I see it today, and it's really extraordinary!

I don't know where Du Sima came from and who he came from? ”

"My family is in Yuzhou, but I have never worshipped any famous teachers, Kaimeng is taught by my father himself, and when I got older, I just found a nearby academy." Du Ruo responded politely.

Ye Qinglin nodded clearly: "That is really an outstanding talent!" ”

"That's it!" At this time, Ye Jin, who was sitting in the main seat, opened his mouth and said to Ye Qinglin, "Everyone is waiting for you, since this is the case, don't continue to make noise after you sit down." ”

"Yes, my father taught me! It's really because the second brother finally came back, and Qinglin lost the rules for a while. Ye Qinglin smiled and picked up the wine glass in front of him, "Then this glass of wine is my self-punishment, and it is also to respect the second brother and Du Sima!" ”

As soon as he said this, Ye Jin did not object, and picked up the glass, and the others also raised their wine glasses when they saw this, and the atmosphere in the banquet slowly warmed up.

During the banquet, Ye Jin and Du Ruo exchanged greetings a few times, and there was a lot of praise between the words, but he couldn't see the hussar general's frame at all, and he looked very kind, which was very different from what Du Ruo thought before.

It's just that he and Ye Yuanzhou don't talk much, and although the father and son don't sit far away from each other, they have never had any conversation, which is inferior to Du Ruo, an outsider.

After three rounds of drinking, Ye Qinglin saw that Ye Jin's eyebrows and eyes were stretched, and he was in a good mood, and said to him: "Father, today I heard that the Holy Lord praised the second brother for his meritorious service in Songzhou. ”

Ye Jin slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at his eldest son, and waited for him to continue.

"Songzhou is far away from the mountains and rivers of the capital, and it is a ...... of Xiazhou" Ye Qinglin looked at Ye Yuanzhou, "The second brother is a martial champion and the second son of a hussar general, but he wants to be a lieutenant in any district of Xiazhou, which is really a bit condescending!"

In the past, the father was self-denying and open-minded, and he refused to use his power to pave the way for the second brother, for fear of provoking criticism, but the son understood it, and the second brother naturally understood.

But this time is different, the second brother has made achievements in Songzhou and has won the blue eyes of the saint, isn't this a perfect opportunity to be justified?

If the father can take this opportunity to strike while the iron is hot and hand over a fold in front of the saint, then the second brother can take the position of General Mingwei and be transferred back to the capital from Nasongzhou.

Even if you don't go back to the capital, it's good to change to a Shangzhou post that can make more achievements! ”

Although Ye Yuanzhou did not raise his head, the chopsticks in his hand were hanging on the dishes, and there was no next move.

Ye Jin frowned, looked at Ye Qinglin, then at Ye Yuanzhou, and snorted: "He can also be called accomplished?" If it weren't for Du Sima's thoughtfulness and knowledge, what could he have done with his tenacious head and brute strength?! ”

Ye Yuanzhou sat there with no change in his expression, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that his eyes were a little colder.

As an outsider, Du Ruo felt that General Ye's speech was slightly biased at this moment, and he and Ye Yuanzhou could be regarded as cooperating with each other in this "Hongyanlu" case, and both were indispensable.

What's more, Ye Yuanzhou has a tendon with brute force! Although he has not dabbled in a particularly wide range of places outside of martial arts, he has a smart mind and can understand a little, coupled with his upright and benevolent character, he is simply a natural general.

If it is replaced by an ordinary father, he is still afraid of delaying the future of his child by cultivating desperately, and he is eager to do everything he can.

How can Ye Jin be a father like this!

Obviously, the top position of the military generals of the Great Yin Dynasty is deeply relied on by the emperor, and the second son Ye Yuanzhou is also a justifiable martial champion, who can have better development and appointment in public and private, but he has been demolishing and suppressing his son everywhere.

Du Ruo, who has always been used to being with Daddy Du, really can't understand such a father-son relationship.

"Father, second brother, he is not what you said, his talent is obvious to all, why do you ......" Ye Qinglin was a little unwilling, and spoke again to persuade his father to change his mind for his younger brother.

Ye Jin waved his hand: "I have fought on the battlefield all my life, and my current official position and glory are not exchanged for the shadow of my ancestors."

I am so, and my heirs should be so, the road under the feet of the boat is only for him to walk, and whether it is good or bad depends on his creation.

If he really has such a good ability, the saint will naturally see it in his eyes and reuse it, if he is a mediocre talent who is lucky to win the championship, it is not a grievance to be a captain of the light car.

Today's banquet, don't mention this matter again! ”

As soon as these words came out, no one at the table dared to speak out, Ye Qinglin was a little sneering, as if he was unwilling but did not dare to disobey his father, and in the end he could only promise to say yes.

Ye Yuanzhou's fingers clutching the chopsticks, the joints of his bones were faintly white, and his handsome face seemed to be covered with a mask of ice.

It seems that if it weren't for Du Ruo sitting beside him at this moment, he couldn't leave her here to face the embarrassing situation, he hated to slap his chopsticks on the table and brushed his sleeves away.

Although he repeatedly reminded himself not to think too much and not to care, although he repeatedly let himself accept the reality, but that indifference seemed to come out of his father's mouth with contemptuous words, Ye Yuanzhou still couldn't help but feel a cold in his chest.

Du Ruo was an outsider, and it was inconvenient to say anything in this situation, but her eyes swept towards Ye Jin and Ye Qinglin's faces without a trace, and then continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that the guests did not react, the others also came back to their senses, and soon the atmosphere at the dinner table returned to the same as before the topic was pulled out, as if the embarrassment just now had never appeared.

Only Ye Yuanzhou was alone, sitting at the table with an expressionless face, pinching the wine glass and drinking alone.
