The teacher is in a position and has enough seniority to convince the public. If the teacher is still alive and Ming Zhang is only in his early twenties, why should he stand up in a critical situation and shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the gateway to the Central Plains?

"In times of crisis, he is a hero." Wei Huan said slowly, "My friend was martyred in the Battle of Datong. Then...... I'm not there. ”

At that time, the official family was only 16 years old, and Wei Huan saw that the young man who had grown up in the palace had already caught up with the adult, but his temperament was still uncertain. On the way to the expedition, he repented several times, and even once summoned more than 20 close internal guards and guards, intending to rush back to the capital overnight.

Wei Huan chased out dozens of miles in the middle of the night, without alarming others, took his nephew back to the army, and secretly executed all the guards involved.

Originally, it was set that the royal driver would go on a personal expedition, and Wei Huan escorted him to Hejian, and when the royal driver left the customs, he returned to Beijing to guard the dispatch. Because of this halfway accident, he followed his companion all the way and stared at the royal car to the Beiban border.

When the Hu people from the Gobi in the west took advantage of the chaos to attack the Central Plains, others were on the northern border.

"My friend is the only son of the Marquis of Jianwu in Jiangning Mansion, He Mingzhang. Because they are all from Jiangnan, they have been close to me since I was a child. ”

"When I was in Guozijian, the two of us were the ones who gave all the gentlemen a headache. We deliberately moved our desks far away, one to the east corner and the other to the west corner. Speaking of the two of us, the gentlemen opened their mouths and said, 'What about the two leather monkeys from the south?' ’”

Recalling the troubles of his childhood, Wei Huan smiled slightly.

"First and then the war, two controversies and purges, Mingzhang has always been on my side. When the imperial court was in chaos, Ming Zhang asked himself to lead the troops to Datong. ”

"Stick to Datong for 40 days, hold on until the return of the royal car, Mingzhang died heroically in battle, posthumously awarded the title of loyal and brave marquis, and the people of Datong were sent off on the day of the funeral. In the past two years, his deeds have been spread in the north and south, and you should have heard his name. ”

"I've heard the drama." Ye Fuliu seemed to remember something, and looked at the person opposite with a new gaze, "In the play book of the loyal and brave marquis guarding Datong, in addition to him a red-faced loyal minister, there is also a white-faced traitor named 'Uncle Cao Guo', who said that he escaped from the battle and was replaced by the loyal and brave marquis. ”

"Uncle Cao Guo, I've heard of it." The small pot of hot mountain spring water gurgled and bubbled, Wei Huan got up and put out the fire, "The literati's Spring and Autumn brushwork is about me."

When the temperature of the boiling water dropped slightly, he added some water to the teapot, "I talked too much today, come, drink tea." ”

Ye Fuliu held the fragrant tea. She had also heard too much today, and sat silent for a while, drinking tea slowly while thinking.

With a full cup of tea to the end, she figured it out and slammed it on the wooden table.

"So, you, your teacher, and your friends, the three of you have always been working together to make the Northern Expedition. It took many years, a lot of manpower and material resources, and now that the Northern Expedition has succeeded in overcoming all difficulties, recovering the country, and what you want to do has finally been done, how can one become a loyal minister and two become traitorous ministers? ”

Wei Huan took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Fortunately, there is a loyal minister." ”

Ye Fuliu laughed.

His gaze swept over, and he squinted at the man on the other side who was not caring about the gesture of drinking tea.

When I was in the study before, "it eats it, I sit on mine, and I don't interfere with each other" in front of the black rat family is nothing.

People are still alive. was arranged into the script by the Spring and Autumn Period, and became the white-faced traitor "Uncle Cao Guo" who was scolded by the north and south of the country, as if he was nothing.

As a family of child thieves, the Ye family still cares about their own business signboards. This one is good, and he doesn't even care about his reputation before and after his death. I'm sorry.

Ye Fuliu put down the teacup and said casually, "One loyal minister, two traitorous ministers, the coffin is decided, so forget it?" ”

Wei Huan thought for a while, "I was seriously ill and mentally weak before, so I really thought about it." But now that the symptoms are getting better, it is better to run for one or two ways to wash away the reputation of the ancestor as much as possible. ”

Ye Fuliu glared at him, "Your teacher's reputation is up to you to wash away, what about your own reputation?" Who's going to wash it for you? ”

Wei Huan drank tea indifferently, "It's not easy to wash away the teacher's reputation. Don't force anything else, let it be. ”

"It's a 'don't force it, just let it go.'" Ye Fuliu applauded perfunctorily.

"People are 'brushing off their clothes when things are over, and hiding their merits and fame'. It's good for you, 'Brush off your clothes when it's over, who cares about the name behind you'. Do you think it's pretty good? Do you feel less guilty that your teacher and friend have passed away, and you are the only one of the three who is still alive, leaving them with a good reputation of being loyal to them, and a bad reputation on your own head? ”

The action of calmly drinking tea on the opposite side was slightly paused.

Wei Huan looked at the teacup in silence. The tea soup in the cup is at the bottom.

Ye Fuliu pushed the teacup, got up and said, "I'll go and call Brother to come up and talk about the house deed sale of the next two families." After signing the deed today, the Ye family will move tomorrow. ”

Wei Huan: "......"

Eyes lifted from the teacup and looked to the other side.

Ye Fuliu: "See what I do?" Think it's too fast to move tomorrow? There's no way, who made my brother afraid of your reputation as Wei Sanlang, and urged me to sell my house and move all day long. ”

Ye Fuliu said as he walked downstairs:

"'Don't force it, let it go.'" It's so calm. Now that you Wei Sanlang has a bad reputation, my brother will hide away when he sees you. I can relay what you said today to the third brother, but I can't say whether he believes it or not. Do you still want the Wei family to follow the Ye family around doing business? Believe it or not, Ye Jiaming will leave the town tomorrow and leave the Wei family and run away? Don't blame me for not reminding you sooner. ”

Wei Huan: "......"

Chapter 56

Ye Fuliu thought about it and went down the wooden building.

The neighbor Wei Sanlang Jun in Wukou Town that she saw in her eyes and Wei Sanlang, the uncle who was rampant in the capital in her brother's mouth, were originally like two separate people. Now that I have listened to Wei Huan's self-description, the two subtly overlap partially. She didn't feel like two people anymore.

But things are one yard at a time, and the Ye family's old bottom has been lifted, which is real and undoubted.

When she turned to the front yard to see Ye Xianchun, Wei Xian was on his shoulder, with an inquiring look in his eyes, and discussed, "The Ye family is Langjun, the Wei family does not eat people."

Ye Fuliu: ?

Wei Er, what did you do before the Imperial Court Lieutenant?

She went up and unceremoniously separated the sides, "I'm fine." What is the matter with the third brother who is in a hurry to find me? ”

Ye Xianchun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, raised his hand and pointed to the next door.

"The carpenter is in a hurry, and the rosewood chair is ready. It's right next door, and I'll be sent right away. ”

————

The door of the Wei family's courtyard was opened, the carpenter brought the rosewood chairs, Wei Da inspected the goods in the front yard, and Wei Er went upstairs to inform the Wei master.

While inspecting the goods, Ye Fuliu stood by the courtyard wall and whispered, "I heard San Lang talk about a lot of old things in the capital on the wooden building just now. Brother, listen to it. ”

Ye Xianchun's eyes widened more and more as he listened, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Finally, he sighed, "There is a huge discrepancy between his rhetoric and the documents I have read. But the Wei family is up and down...... cough, I all know that the Ye family is a family of stealers. How can you be a neighbor like no one else? ”

Ye Fuliu heard what he meant, "So we still have to move." ”

Ye Xianchun: "I still have to move." ”

Ye Xianchun's concerns are actually the Ye family's consistent cautious approach.

Ye Fuliu stared at the rosewood chair, "Then it's better to move." After the two transactions were completed, they said goodbye to their neighbors. Finally, we went up and signed the deed, and after the settlement, we moved tonight. ”

"San Lang proposed, the Wei family follows the Ye family to do business...... she thought for a while, "a little more time, let me think about it again." ”

The door of the Wei family was open, and the neighbors who were originally in the Ye family to watch the moving scene surrounded the Wei family.

The ladies who knew each other came in to say hello, "Little Lady Ye and Langjun of the Ye family are both in the Wei family, but they are going to sign the house deed?" ”

Ye Fuliu went to the front yard to say hello, "Sign the deed today." If all goes well, I'll move out tomorrow morning. ”

The neighbors exclaimed, "How fast!"

Ye Fuliu raised his voice to the crowd as he walked inside, "The Ye family serves the family and country, and actively raises donations for the township, and the Ye family has no regrets!" However, recently, the cash flow is a little tight, and the town has to sell the ancestral house in the town. I am fortunate to know all the neighbors of Wukou Town, and I am fortunate to have an acquaintance, neighbors, we will have a meeting later. ”

There was a sound of smacking emotion behind him, and the neighbors who were familiar with each other on weekdays wiped away their tears.

"The Ye family is a good neighbor." "Yes, the Ye family is generous and kind." "Take care of the neighbors' business every day." "The condition of Langjun of the Wei family next door is very good, and I heard that the Ye family also invited Lin Dalang with a lot of money, and Lin Dalang was smashed open by the golden cake and cured the person...... "What a rare good neighbor in ten miles and eight townships!"

Amid the noise and discussion in the front yard, the arch of the Wei family's hidden backyard opened silently.

Wei Huan stood at the end of the verandah, staring with inquiry.

Ye Fuliu nodded at him. Since the Ye family has decided to move, there is no need to drag mud and water, and the more neat the move, the better.

"I just said goodbye to my neighbors. Now, in front of the neighbors, let's also resign from the Wei family in person. ”

Wei Huan was silent.

Under the gaze of the neighbors, Ye Fuliu really led everyone in the Ye family and said goodbye to the Wei family in person very seriously:

Recently, the Ye family's cash flow has been slightly tight, and they have no choice but to sell the ancestral house in the town. I was fortunate enough to be close neighbors with the Wei family, and I got acquainted with Langjun of the Wei family, and sold the ancestral house to the Wei family, which was really a thousand miles away......"

After a pause at this point, his dark eyes turned around Wei Huan, and he said in a heavy tone: "We will meet again if we are fated." We'll see you later. ”

Wei Huan also looked at her deeply, turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard, "Come over and sign the deed." ”

On the wooden building surrounded by the fragrance of tea, Ye Xianchun and Ye Fuliu were led up to the wooden building and sat side by side, and Wei Huan sat opposite.

Wei Da Wei Er turned around and went downstairs.

Only the Ye family brothers and sisters and the Wei family master were left in the wooden building.

Wei Huan's eyes were thoughtful, and he looked at Ye Xianchun, "There are no outsiders here, you can talk about something bluntly." Regarding Wei himself, the three brothers of the Ye family seem to have a lot of misunderstandings. I've explained it to Fuliu just now, I wonder if the third brother has heard of it? ”

Ye Xianchun didn't look at people, lowered his head and hugged the teacup: "I heard what my mother said." But no one has seen the things in the capital with their own eyes, and their mouths are closed one by one, who knows whether it is true or false. ”

Wei Huan got the expected reply, and didn't ask much to clarify anything, got up and went to the high place of the wooden cabinet to take out a long wooden box with a hollow pattern, and took out a deed paper.

"Let's look at the deed first."

Ye Xianchun took the house deed, pinched it when he started it, and immediately showed a look of surprise.

The color of this paper is old, and it feels soft to the touch, not like new paper, but like old paper pulled out of a pile of old paper. The big business of house buying and selling is not even a piece of paper, right??

Ye Xianchun was sneering in his heart, and carefully checked the deed from the beginning.

After reading the first line, the face is not right.

"This ......"

Wei Huan led Ye Fuliu to the east under the long eaves, and the two of them lay on the railing with one on the railing and one on the elbow. Ye Fuliu asked, "What do you want to discuss with me alone?" Could it be a sudden reversal and don't want to sign? ”

"Nothing to do with the deed." Wei Huan's gaze looked down, looking at the courtyard of the Ye family reflected in the sun. "I said goodbye to my neighbors first, and then to the Wei family, obviously determined to leave. I remember you said that the people of the Ye family never believe in the words of their mouths, but only believe in evidence and time. ”

Ye Fuliu didn't hide it from him. "It is good to be cautious as a person in our business. This time, it happened that the third brother was here, and the eldest brother and the second brother of my family were replaced, and they would also move out immediately. ”

Wei Huan thought and nodded. "Makes sense. Before you move out, listen to me say a few more words for your reference. ”

Ye Fuliu turned his head, and his dark and clear eyes looked straight over, "Let's talk about it." ”

Wei Huan then said, "When I was a child, my parents and brothers were all dead, and my grandmother did not want to be pointed at in Jiangning City. ”

"The ancestral house is big and deserted. These two courtyard walls were built by my grandmother after she came. The ancestral house is divided into two halves, with the east side inhabiting the living and the west side worshipping the ancestors. ”

Ye Fuliu was stunned and looked up and down suspiciously. "Wait. You repeat? Whose ancestral house is divided in half? ”

"Sounds ridiculous. But parting is imminent, I have to say. Wei Huan turned to the side and looked at her calmly, "The house next door is the ancestral house of the Wei family. There is a deed of the current year as evidence. The old deed is in Brother Ling's hands. ”
