Chapter 65: Two Faces
Because of Ye Jin's words, the second half of this meal changed from eating to being punished, and when the banquet was dispersed, many people were relieved and secretly relieved.
Ye Jin didn't say anything more to Ye Yuanzhou, just said a few polite words to Du Ruo and left.
Ye Qinglin's face was a little embarrassed, and when his father left, he walked around to Ye Yuanzhou and patted him: "Yuanzhou, although my father is a little old-fashioned, I believe he also has his considerations."
Maybe I think you still need to hone and hone again, and then find a suitable opportunity to speak for you in front of the Holy One, and then it will be more justified!
Father actually still cares about you very much, and the depth of love will be responsible! You must understand his good intentions, be close to filial piety, and don't be so separated from him! ”
Ye Yuanzhou looked up at his eldest brother, showed a bitter chuckle, shook his head, didn't say anything, got up and walked out.
"Yuanzhou, you...... This ......" Ye Qinglin didn't catch up, nor did he ignore it, and looked at Du Ruo, who was also about to leave, with some embarrassment, "Du Sima, I heard that you worked with my second brother?"
In the future, I hope to help persuade him not to be too persistent, and not to be hard with his father!
My younger brother is a very good person, but he is arrogant, but his father is such an upright and stubborn character, and the two of them will have a very unpleasant quarrel when they meet.
The Ye family only has me and my second brother and two brothers, we have been very close since childhood, and I, as a brother, naturally hope to do my best to give my brother more protection, but unfortunately the foundation is still shallow, and I still need to rely on my father's breath, so ...... I'm also powerless, and I'm in a dilemma. ”
"General Ye rest assured, if there is anything that Du Ruo can say, then he will naturally try his best to persuade him." Du Ruo nodded and said respectfully, "It's not too early, Du is a little overwhelmed, so I'll go back and rest first." ”
As soon as Ye Qinglin heard this, he didn't want to delay the rest of the family, so he politely said goodbye to her, and the two of them went to their respective yards and went back to their respective yards.
The Hussar General's Mansion is very large, and it is already dark at this time, Du Ruo vaguely remembers the direction of going back to the side courtyard, although he is a little uncertain, he can only think of groping for the past with his own memory.
After turning a corner, I saw a long figure standing on the side of the road waiting in front of me.
Du Ruo quickened his pace and walked over, and sure enough, he saw Ye Yuanzhou waiting for him.
Just now this guy left in a bad mood, she thought that she had already gone back to the room in one breath and locked herself up and continued to gamble, but she didn't expect to wait for herself here.
"The black light is blind, and when you see someone blocking the road, you don't wake up, and you dare to come up quickly, Du Sima's courage is good." Ye Yuanzhou teased.
Du Ruo smiled: "This is the Hussar General's Mansion in the capital, if you can still meet thieves here, then eighty percent of them have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall!" ”
Ye Yuanzhou chuckled, and led Du Ruo to the direction of the side courtyard together, along the way, no one said anything, and returned to the side courtyard silently, the old lady was still guarding the courtyard, and when she saw the two of them coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward.
"Second young master, I have prepared all the meals, they are all warm on the stove in the kitchen, do you want to eat in the room, or ......" The old lady asked Ye Yuanzhou very skillfully, but after looking at Du Ruo on the side, her tone hesitated again.
At this moment, the moon is in the sky, neither hot nor cold, and it is very comfortable outside.
Ye Yuanzhou thought for a while and said to the old lady, "Send the food to the small pavilion at the back." ”
The old lady didn't look old, but her hands and feet were very nimble, and she immediately turned around and went to the small kitchen.
"...... this?" Du Ruo knew at a glance that this should be a common thing, otherwise the old lady would not be so proficient.
Ye Yuanzhou motioned for Du Ruo to go to the pavilion behind him with him: "Mama knows that I will not be able to eat well every time I have such a family banquet, so I usually prepare some simple meals in the small kitchen, so as not to come back after the banquet and be unable to sleep at night because of hunger." ”
Du Ruo nodded knowingly.
After a while, the old lady sent the food to the small pavilion, and by the way, she made them a pot of plum tea that they consumed after eating.
Although Du Ruo pretended to be calm and calm in the previous meal, he actually ate it like chewing wax, and when he was a guest at the Hussar General's Mansion, he didn't act too reserved, and he didn't eat a few grains of rice in total.
At this time, although there are some simple home-cooked dishes on the table, the old grandmother has very good craftsmanship, the aroma is fragrant, and it is appetizing, Du Ruo is familiar with Ye Yuanzhou, and he is not restrained, so he eats with him.
There are only the two of them, the atmosphere is naturally needless to say, it is very relaxed, the two of them chatted a few words while eating, and after eating, Ye Yuanzhou took the teacup and poured a cup of plum tea for Du Ruo.
"Aren't you surprised?" Ye Yuanzhou had been curious for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask, "I thought you would want to ask me something." ”
"Do you want to say that you are two completely different appearances from the one you have now?" Du Ruo smiled, "Surprise is not counted, I was indeed a little confused at first, but after seeing that you were so calm after returning to the side courtyard, I generally had a guess in my heart, but I didn't know if it was right." ”
"Tell me about it." Ye Yuanzhou looked at Du Ruo with interest.
"I originally guessed that the son of a dignified hussar general, who was still a martial champion, served in a place like Songzhou, which was somewhat unpopular with his father.
But then you told me that you had been sent to the army to fight against foreign tribes on the border, which made me doubt my previous judgment.
It is said that talking about soldiers on paper is useless, and you martial arts practitioners have always thought that just practicing martial arts, but not really going into battle to kill the enemy, and not experiencing real swords and guns, then everything is empty talk.
So I feel that although the general is a little cold to you on the surface, being willing to send you to the border to kill the enemy is also a kind of expectation and affirmation. ”
"Oh?" Ye Yuanzhou was noncommittal about Du Ruo's opinion, "Today, my eldest brother spoke for me in front of my father, and wanted to help me find a more decent official position in Beijing. ”
Du Ruo smiled: "Many things are actually the same as autopsies, you can't just look at the surface, the surface looks intact, and the cavity is rotten."
Therefore, a kind of rhetoric, what it sounds literally like, and what it is inside, has to be dissected and discerned. ”
