On the bluestone pavement, there are snowflakes falling overhead.

A figure standing still, looking at them lightly, his voice slightly tired.

It's just that sentence, listening to Chen Mingye's ears, but it caused his whole body to shake suddenly. He turned his head again, looked at the figure standing not far from him, and for a moment wondered if he should speak.

"I've seen His Royal Highness. The guards behind saw the figure clearly, but they hurriedly dismounted and bowed.

Chen Mingye looked at the man, and finally couldn't help but sketch a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the coldness in his heart seemed to be quietly washed away.

"Why do you drink like this every day?" In the thick of the night, the figure didn't seem to notice Chen Mingye's side, just looked at Meng Che in a brocade robe, and smiled lightly.

The guard hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your concern, I went to the banquet today, and the son drank too much for a while, and it was fine." ”

The man nodded, as if he had no intention of asking casually: "When did your son come back, he has been to Yuzhou for more than half a month, right?"

"Lao Shizi is bothered, my son-in-law has just returned to Beijing today. ”

"No wonder, okay, take him back quickly, this body is full of alcohol. The figure chuckled, "I'll talk to him again." ”

Saying this, the man turned his head abruptly, and his gaze fell on Chen Mingye, who had not spoken on the side, and there seemed to be a slight doubt in his eyes: "Who is this?"

The guard next to him hurriedly lowered his voice and reminded Chen Mingye: "Chen Gongzi, this is the concubine of King Chu Xiang, we should be called His Royal Highness." ”

Chen Mingye nodded, looked up, and a strange color seemed to faintly flash in his deep eyes: "Grass people Chen Ye, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Huh," he replied with an inexplicable chuckle.

The night seemed to fall silent.

"Okay, it's snowing heavily, and I'm not in the way, so let's go back." The figure chuckled again.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Several guards hurriedly saluted again.

"Hmm. An indistinct response.

The group met so inexplicably, and then passed by indifferently, but when Chen Mingye passed by the prince of the world, the figure suddenly showed a meaningful smile at him.

Chen Mingye lowered his head and did not speak. The guards on both sides didn't notice these at all, so they went all the way without hindrance and moved forward smoothly.

Xiao Hong, who was leaning on Chen Mingye's arms, couldn't help it, and whispered to Chen Mingye a little strangely, "Little junior brother, that person is so strange?"

"What's so strange?" Chen Mingye asked deliberately with the corners of his mouth raised.

"He's like, he's known you for a long time. The little girl's eyes widened and she looked at him seriously.

Chen Mingye smiled, reached out and pinched her little face: "How did Xiaohong see it?"

"Humph!" Red angrily slapped his hand away and puffed out, "Does Little Red look silly?"

"Not really. Chen Mingye shook his head and smiled dotingly, "It's just a little cute." ”

Xiaohong narrowed her eyes and looked at him with some vigilance: "Hurry up and be honest, who is that person?"

Chen Mingye looked at him like this, and suddenly laughed and said: "Didn't you say it, King Chu Xiang's sister-in-law, I think you should have some impressions." ”

"Hmm......" Xiaohong unconsciously pursed her little finger to her mouth, and then shook her head a little dazedly.

"Those big ships on Yun Mengze forgot about it so quickly, and the one who suffered at this moment was King Chu Xiang. Chen Mingye smiled and patiently explained to the little girl.

"Huh?" Xiaohong was a little surprised, "strange, he is so far away, how can his son be here?

Chen Mingye shook his head, remembered the figure, and sighed softly: "He, just study here and do some learning." ”

"Oh," Xiaohong didn't seem to be very interested when she heard this, and still looked at Chen Mingye with some dissatisfaction, "Little junior brother, you still haven't said whether you know him or not?"

Chen Mingye thought for a while and said, "I'm tired today, I'll recuperate tomorrow, and I'll tell you slowly." ”

"Really?" Xiaohong has always been more interested in the story, and when she heard Chen Mingye say this, she seriously suspected that she was perfunctory to him, and suddenly turned her eyes to him suspiciously.

"It must be true," Chen Mingye smiled warmly, and then regardless of the little girl's objections, he reached out and gently touched her little head, "When did I deceive Xiaohong?"

"Hmph," the little girl still seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but she did quietly close her eyes again and lay down comfortably in Chen Mingye's arms.

Chen Mingye reached out to cover her robe and brushed away the snowflakes scattered on her clothes.

Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, the red light is shining, and the candle is always bright.

When Chen Mingye returned to Meng's Mansion with Meng Che at night, the hall was still brightly lit, and a few servants said that their wife had been waiting for them for a long time, and asked them to meet in the hall as soon as they returned.

Chen Mingye glanced at Meng Che, who was drunk on the side, a little helpless.

Meng Shi had obviously been waiting in the hall for a long time, and seeing that the two of them had only come back at this time, his face seemed a little depressed, but he didn't say anything.

There is no other reason, there is also an old marquis Meng sitting on the main seat on one side. The old marquis is very great, although he is close to the age of confusion, he is still in good spirits, and he seems to feel immobile like a mountain when he sits on the seat. Haoming's top beam general, such courage, can be seen.

"You rebel! Drinking all day long, making mistakes, not doing your job, have you never remembered my words!" Seeing Meng Che being helped in, Old Marquis Meng suddenly shouted angrily, the sound was like thunder, and the people in the entire hall were startled.

The little guy was startled, and hurriedly reached out to shake Meng Che.

"Young master, young master, wake up, wake up!"

"Dare to hold him and throw him on the ground for me!" Old Marquis Meng glanced at Meng Che, who hadn't even woken up with these noises, and suddenly there was another burst of anger.

The little guy didn't dare to disobey, so he had to tremble and throw Meng Che down. said that it was lost, but the action was also very light, Meng Che slept soundly, and it seemed quite comfortable to lie down, so he turned over.

"You rebel!" Seeing this scene, Old Marquis Meng was even more angry, and reached out to pick up the cup on the table and smashed it.

Meng Shi on the side frowned, but he didn't speak, just sighed slightly.

The cup slammed into Meng Che's body, and then smashed with a "snap". This crack sound close to his ears was no less than a thunderbolt in his sleep, Meng Che shuddered and sat up in shock.

"Hey...... Still awake. Seeing this scene, Chen Mingye couldn't help but mourn silently for his brother, closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at the next human tragedy.

"Father!" Meng Che, who woke up, was only stunned for a moment, and soon noticed the serious and square face he was facing him, trembled, and suddenly turned over and fell down in the direction of Old Marquis Meng.

It's just that he didn't notice the broken tea cup crumbs on the ground, and as soon as his hands fell down, there was a wail.

"Ah...... Pain hurts pain ......"

"Hmph!" Seeing Meng Che's appearance, Old Marquis Meng's brows seemed to loosen slightly, he glanced at Chen Mingye who was standing on the side, sighed, and waved his hand happily, "Come on, take this rebel down for me, bandage him, and then throw him to the room to introspect, he has been confined to the mansion for the past two days, and no one is allowed to let him out." ”

A few little guys looked embarrassed, but they didn't dare to disobey the order of this marquis, so they had to say to Meng Che, "I offended the young master," and they couldn't help but drag Meng Che, who was still in a state of confusion, down.

"Are you Chen Ye from Yuzhou?" Old Marquis Meng glanced at Meng Che, who was dragged away, and finally moved his gaze to Chen Mingye, who was standing aside and had been silent.

"Boy Chen Mingye, I've seen Master Hou!" Chen Mingye hurriedly saluted the Marquis of Dingyuan respectfully.

"You're welcome, just sit down. Old Marquis Meng said casually

Chen Mingye knew that this person's temper had always been straightforward, so he didn't twist and sat down on the side. Meng Shi on the side seemed to be quite satisfied with his move, smiled at him, and nodded slightly.

"Well," Old Marquis Meng glanced at him up and down, knocked on the table with both hands, and suddenly said, "Have I seen you before?"

The whole hall was silent.

Chen Mingye said lightly: "Master Hou said with a smile, this is the first time I have come to Kyoto, how can I see you." ”

Old Marquis Meng was noncommittal, just looked at him and said, "Your Aunt Meng has mentioned your matter to me, it is a good thing to be willing to be motivated and make a difference." ”

Chen Mingye responded with a smile: "Aunt Meng praised it, and the kid is ashamed." ”

"If Meng Che can learn more from you, I can rest assured. It's just today, what are you doing?" Old Marquis Meng looked at him, although his tone was indifferent, but just this simple glance can make people's psychology collapse directly.

Chen Mingye lowered his head in amusement and responded: "I met the King of Jin today, and the King of Jin is invited, so Brother Meng can't help but obey." ”

"King Jin?" Old Marquis Meng frowned slightly when he heard this name, "He's back?"

"It's all gone. Chen Mingye replied honestly.

Old Marquis Meng was rarely silent for a while, and then nodded: "I know, it's rare." ”

It's rare, there are two simple and rare words, but what is specific and rare, this Hou Ye didn't say.

"Alright, rest early, you are all people who want to test your fame, don't waste your future for the sake of momentary pleasures. Old Marquis Meng waved his hand and admonished him in passing.

Chen Mingye bowed his hand: "Thank you for the teachings of Master Hou, the younger generation will remember it in my heart." ”

Aunt Meng was silent beside her for a long time and finally spoke: "Okay, we will be a family in the future, you don't have to stick to these etiquettes, you can take your sister to live with peace of mind, and prepare for the exam well." It's also good to have time to communicate more with my son who is not angry, and promote it together. ”

Old Marquis Meng didn't speak at this time, and then he took a deep look at Chen Mingye, and then got up and walked out of the hall.

Chen Mingye looked at Aunt Meng, who was still sitting upright, and knew that she still had something to say, so she didn't get up.

"In the future, in Kyoto, I only said that it was my nephew, do you remember?" Aunt Meng glanced at him with concern and reminded him again.

"Thank you, ma'am. Chen Mingye sighed, this Aunt Meng.

"Also, don't put away the book I gave you. ”

"Good. Chen Mingye should go down one by one.

"Also, there are some things that you have to take care of yourself, and don't overstep the scale; Aunt Meng's kind eyes fell on him, and her tone was soft.

Chen Mingye lowered his head and said yes one by one.

The old woman in the upper seat finally stopped, and the hall seemed to fall silent.

Chen Mingye clenched his fists and was about to speak, but he heard the slightly old but extraordinarily gentle voice ring out again.

"There is no one here, Xiaoye, can you come closer and let Aunt Meng take a look?"
