"Uncle Hui, the General Ye you are talking about is my father." Ye Yuanzhou replied very frankly.

Du Zhong nodded clearly, and asked again: "In this case, why is Ye Duwei's official position higher than that of my stubborn daughter, and he is from a wealthy family, and he is such a well-known name as Wu Zhuangyuan, but he is willing to follow my daughter such a small Sima, a useless idle ass?" ”

"Dad, he's a scholar, look at what you said......" Du Ruo was a little embarrassed by his father's words.

"It's not rough." Du Zhong waved his hand, full of indifference, "The Four Books and Five Classics are intended to teach future generations how to behave, not to let them shake their heads with a black heart and rotten stomachs, just above their mouths!"

I think this Ye Duwei is also a downright person, so he should disdain those pedantic and sour tones, so he simply has something to say. ”

"What my uncle said is that being a person and doing things is important to be above board, and you don't need to care about red tape."

Ye Yuanzhou immediately nodded, agreed with Du Zhong's statement, and then continued: "The junior had a relationship with Du Sima when he was in the capital, and he was surprised that a woman was able to break into the palace all the way to the men's scientific examination, and also won the Tanhua.

Later, when I met again in Songzhou, I was impressed by her courage.

Although the younger generation is a man, he is ashamed of himself, trapped in many constraints, has many scruples, and has many shackles, and cannot live the way he wants like Du Sima.

Therefore, the younger generation is willing to help Du Sima, and can provide a little help within their ability, which can be regarded as a little comfort to themselves. ”

Du Ruo sighed secretly, she believed that what Ye Yuanzhou said to Father Du was heartfelt.

With Ye Yuanzhou's talent, it was supposed to be of great use, but because the Great Yin Dynasty emphasized literature and light on martial arts, it was rumored that since the first emperor, the emperor was afraid of military generals.

Therefore, whether he was worried that the emperor would think that he had some undeserved ambitions, or avoided the power of Prince Rui, Ye Yuanzhou was destined not to get the glory that matched his ability.

Although it is said that General Ye Jin's arrangements and experiences are all to protect this son from becoming a bird early, and the wood is beautiful in the forest, but it is destroyed by the wind, but as a party, in such a situation, even if he is clear about that piece of painstaking work, he will inevitably feel desolate many times.

Du Zhong thought that this kind of child of a family, the young master of the high family, should be a little arrogant, but he didn't expect that Ye Yuanzhou didn't have the slightest arrogance at all, and his speech and demeanor were also very down-to-earth, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only look at him, nodded, and didn't ask anything more.

He didn't have anything to ask, but Du Ruo did.

"Dad, have you heard any rumors in Tonghe County at home?" Du Ruo asked.

"Copper River?" Du Zhong frowned, only slightly puzzled, and quickly guessed what his daughter wanted to ask, "You want to ask me about the rumors of the murderous mansion in Tonghe County?" ”

"Dad really sits at home, but he can understand the world!" Du Ruo smiled and praised his father fiercely.

"Go, go, go! Don't make fun of me here! Father Du said disgusted words, but the expression on his face clearly revealed that he felt very useful for his daughter's praise, "I have a proud protégé here, and his home is from Tonghe County.

But I didn't really take it to heart, if you want to ask clearly, come to the academy with me tomorrow, I'll find him out, and let you ask for yourself. ”

"Do you believe that there are evil spirits in this world who kill people?" Du Ruo asked again.

Du Zhong smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed to the chaise longue not far away: "To tell you the truth, the one I was happy to read just now is the book of ghosts and strange stories, but this thing is just a pastime, if you really believe it, it is a pig brain!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Du Ruo: "Let me ask you, what is the most difficult thing to draw in this world?" What is the best thing to draw? ”

Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, when she was a child, because she read and wrote articles, she could be regarded as practicing a good hand, but when it came to painting, she was a little ineffective.

"Stop you!" Du Zhong said with a smile, "In this world, it is difficult to paint the mountains and waters, and the monkeys, rabbits, jackals, tigers and leopards on the banks of the mountains and rivers are all difficult to paint, and the easiest ones to draw are the ghosts in the underworld and the immortals in the sky!" ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Du Ruo asked suspiciously.

"Painting mountains and rivers should have charm, and painting monkeys and rabbits should be smart." Du Zhong said, "A mountain stands there, a hundred years old and thousands of years will not move, people who have seen what this mountain looks like abounds, if the shape is not similar, it makes people laugh, if it just achieves the likeness, there is no charm at all, it is not a masterpiece."

However, the evil ghosts in the netherworld, the immortals outside the nine heavens, have they ever been seen with their own eyes? ”

Ye Yuanzhou shook his head: "I really haven't heard of this. ”

Daddy Du spread his hands: "So! Everyone has only heard of things that they have never seen, how can it be regarded as a harmony of temperament? What is smart and natural?

No one can give an answer at all, so it's not the person who paints the painting, who can say whatever he wants.

And such a demon, who has never been seen by people throughout the ages, but has only been passed on by word of mouth, can make a special trip to Yuzhou and Tonghe County to make a special trip to make trouble, and kill people one after another, doesn't it sound funny?

If you want me to say, it's simply that the county order is incompetent, and he can't catch the murderer, and he doesn't even know what the murderer looks like, so he simply puts it on the head of the ghost, so that he can push 625 and ignore it, and no one can scold him for being incompetent! ”

Ye Yuanzhou nodded again and again when he heard this: "In the past, I said why Du Sima was so smart, his heart was bright, and after seeing his uncle today, I finally knew who to attribute!" ”

Hearing what he said to Daddy Du's ears, it was very ironing, he squinted his eyes and pretended to smile indifferently, and looked at Ye Yuanzhou's eyes a little kinder than Fang Cai.

Du Ruo chatted with his father about many things about the "Hongyanlu" case, and Du Zhong was embarrassed after hearing it.

He was not as interested in the notes left by his father as Du Ruolai, so he didn't know much about strange flowers and poisons such as Hahan Senji, and he couldn't summarize anything.

But for those women who were trained to refine the Jiaorong Cream after taking Hongyanlu, and the Divine Stick who finally died of bleeding and dying because of the lack of Qi and Blood Pill, they were very emotional.

"Therefore, although people can't go with the flow, they must also be happy to know their fate." He sighed and shook his head, "If it weren't for the lack of greed to hope for more than what you deserve, how could you be in such a miserable situation!" ”
