Volume I: Chapter VII Punishments

Traveled overnight, stayed in the mountain temple in the middle of the night, got up in the morning, returned in the morning, and paid some copper coins, and hired an ox cart to go back by the way.

When he was at home, it was close to the sun, the ox cart was moving slowly, the bell was ringing non-stop, Ye Qing was sitting in the back, squinting his eyes and napping, cultivating his spirit.

Although there is a Tao law in this world, it is not often manifested in the world, and due to feeding reasons, horses are still lacking, so the court promulgated the law of clothing, food, housing and transportation.

The people were not allowed to wear silk or ride horses, and there were specific rules for official cars.

Although these laws were relatively relaxed, and many princes of the family traveled on horseback, when it came to the official class, they were serious, and even the county orders were generally ox carts.

It's not that the county order can't get horses, but it's too conspicuous and inconsistent with political achievements, and the most important thing is the rules set by the imperial court and the heavenly court behind it.

Civilians basically use ox carts, although they walk slowly, but they are okay, and now Ye Qing is sitting on this!

In the distance, I saw a ridge of fields, a big pond in the distance, and the left and right sides of the pond were planted with elm and mulberry trees, which stretched for several hectares of fields, and there was a mile of road.

Ye Qing looked at it from the ox cart, this is the field under his name, and he really doesn't know when he will really be in his hands.

After being stunned for a moment, he paid the money and walked back, so as not to gossip, and arrived at Ye Mansion, Ye Mansion is a big family, six or seven doormen sat in the concierge hall drinking tea and chatting, Ye Qing looked at it, and went straight through the side door and went back through a few corridors.

But I didn't want to, the two people saw it from a distance, and when they saw Ye Qing entering the door, their eyes immediately lit up, and one of them hurriedly rushed out of the door.

Ye Qing entered the door, passed through a water pavilion in the garden, and saw a pavilion with stone tables and bamboo chairs in the distance, more than a dozen clansmen were talking and laughing, the breeze was blowing, and they felt refreshed, but unfortunately, this is the treatment of the clan who has a meritorious name, or the person in charge, and now he is far from being able to.

After being stunned for a moment, he smiled to himself, walked through the back garden, and returned to the northwest of Ye Mansion, in a slightly shabby courtyard, Ye Qing slowly pushed the door in, and was about to turn around and close the door.

At this moment, a lazy voice came from behind itself: "I said brother, where have you been?"

Ye Qing was startled, and when he turned around, he saw the beautiful son surrounded by several people, it was Ye Sheng.

When I looked at it again, I noticed Qianqian running out of the house, and saw that her expression was angry but not dark, and her clothes were intact, so I was unconsciously relieved.

After all, he is a clansman, not to the extent of tearing his face, and he doesn't dare to move the woman in his house at will, but he is also afraid that in case, it will be difficult to recover the loss, as for the battle in front of him, it is pediatrics.

The catastrophe is coming, the wind and rain are strong, what is this scene?

"I've seen Brother Sheng, it's rare for my brother to come here, I don't know what to see?" Ye Qing said.

Ye Sheng glanced up and down, his heart was unhappy, when it came to seniority, this Ye Qing family was the seventh room of the grandfather, but at this time, it was just a branch, this kind of calm and indifferent attitude, looking at it, it was like a thorn in his heart, so he snorted and said: "I don't dare to teach, but my younger brother is usually serious, but he dares to go out at night without reporting, and I admire my brother very much, I hereby report to the clan, and my father ordered you to go and explain...... How about you, come and lie down with me!"

Behind him, Wu Tiezi suddenly straightened his chest, glanced around proudly, and sneered at Ye Qing at the end.

It turned out that he was being watched by this guy, Ye Qing instantly understood, and pressed the small copper cup in his arms, thinking that this thing should not be noticed at this time.

I thought about the clan rules again, the rules of the Ye clan are very strict, minors are crowned, and there is no fame, they are not allowed to go out at will, this is the clan rules that bind the children of the clan not to be disobedient, and at this time they took it out to speak, but it was justified.

Ye Qing swept his eyes coldly, straightened his clothes, flicked his sleeves and said: "Since the second uncle summoned me, I will go from now on, I am not in accordance with etiquette, wait for me to bathe and change clothes, and go to make amends...... Brother said this is right, right?"

The servants looked at each other and looked at Ye Sheng, Ye Sheng was stunned, but he couldn't say anything wrong.

Seeing this, Ye Qing smiled slightly and squeezed through the crowd: "Qianqian, don't boil water for me yet!"

Qianqian hurriedly followed, and the two entered the house, closed the door, and left a bunch of people outside staring at each other.

When Ye Sheng saw it, he was furious, but he laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, I'll go to the clan hall in a while, I want to see what else you have to say!"

In the house, Ye Qing strode into the inner room, threw the book basket, took off his clothes, and jumped into the bathtub.

Qianqian couldn't avoid taboos, and exclaimed, "Young master, the water is already cold!"

"Don't care, where do I really dare to make the second uncle wait for an hour?" Ye Qing said with a wry smile, untied the copper cup casually, and handed it to Qianqian: "String it with a thread for me, you bring it close to you, don't let people find out!"

"Well, this cup ......" Qianqian was stunned, took the copper cup, didn't ask much, thought about it, tied a red rope in the corner hole of the cup, went out for a few minutes, and disappeared, and I didn't know where she was hiding.

At this time, Ye Qing was naked, Qianqian rarely blushed a little, she helped to wash, and just asked the business: "Does the young master have anything else to arrange?"

"Yes......" Ye Qing leaned back, lay in the cold water, and said slowly: "This matter has been caught, and I really can't refute it." ”

"But this is a trivial matter, even if it is dealt with strictly, there is no fear of life, not even a board, my second uncle does not have the power, nor does he have the courage and viciousness. ”

"From the bottom of my heart, my second uncle is fairly fair, but it only involves his son's future, and he has to do it as a last resort. ”

"As for alarming the patriarch, I don't have the weight yet...... So no matter what the rumors are, you don't have to panic, just do as usual!"

Qianqian's reaction was extremely fast, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden: "Will it be locked up?"

"Huh...... Otherwise, how can it be as they want?" Ye Qing smiled coldly, looked at Qianqian, and said: "But it may not be a formal confinement, I'm afraid it's house arrest, as long as you restrain your actions and miss this boy's test, the result will be the same!"

Qianqian just shook her head, and her slap-sized face turned red: "Young master, what did you do wrong? Why are they like this, this is a boy's test!"

Ye Qing smiled bitterly: "If you want to add sin, there is no word...... If you want to find an excuse, what excuse you can't find, family law, family rules, and etiquette are all in the hands of those who set the rules...... Besides, I did break the clan rules!"

Qianqian helped him wash, staring at Ye Qing with her eyes: "Young master, you will definitely have a future in the future, and you can set the rules." ”

"You are more confident than me......" Ye Qing was stunned, and laughed, only after a few lifetimes, I knew how difficult it was to set the rules!

But this is indeed the way of the great husband.

In a moment, on the wide garden road, a large group of people crowded, or escorted Ye Qing to the manor lobby.

Because Ye Zifan has been in charge of the rules of the clan for a long time, and he is serious and unscrupulous, he is called a forbidden hall by the juniors.

"Newspaperβ€”" Far away from the hall, the servant shouted loudly.

Ye Zifan was drinking tea, but when he heard a loud announcement outside, he couldn't help but feel slightly angry in his heart, and commanded: "It's so noisy!

The servant came in, and seeing Ye Zifan's calm face, he couldn't help but weaken his legs, knelt down and said, "Third master, Young Master Ye Qing has been brought." ”

"Let him come up!" Ye Zifan sat still and put the teacup on the table.

I saw Ye Qing dressed in front of the hall, walked in with his head held high, and made a deep gesture: "Qing, I have seen my uncle, I don't know what my uncle called?"

Ye Zifan looked up and down, his heart was slightly cold, but he was not in a hurry to make trouble, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a day, and my nephew's temperament is superior, but what happy event did I encounter?"

Ye Qingtong was slightly cold in his heart: "Thank you uncle for your concern, it's just that I have a feeling when I read it." ”

Ye Zifan just asked casually, did not delve into it, and turned to the topic: "It is a good thing to read more, to know loyalty and filial piety, and to know kindness and retribution...... For what my uncle said yesterday, can you think about it?"

Do you want to salute before you soldiers?

Ye Qing's heart was transparent, he looked at his uncle, and slowly refused to say: "Heaven and earth, Tao, Jun, pro, teacher, this is the key to the Five Outlines, fame comes from the Tao, the court of hair, hanging on the will of his parents, this cannot be resigned." ”

"As for the kindness of the clan and his uncle, Qing still said this sentence - the grace of dripping water, he will repay it with a spring every day. When he said this, Ye Qing was deeply moved, and his expression was sincere.

There is no need to doubt the promise and ability of a reborn person, as long as the person nods, it will not take long for him to reap a good reward.

Reading is a matter of reasoning, hearing the weight of these words, Ye Zifan's heart moved inexplicably, looking up and down, only to see that this nephew was dressed in a white coat, and even the boots under his feet were half-worn, but he had a kind of expectant and cheerful attitude, which made people forget at first sight.

This son is not a thing in the pool.,Talent is really good.,If you fully support it......

"Father!" At this time, Ye Sheng saw that something was wrong, and shouted urgently, instantly breaking the atmosphere created by Ye Qing.

Ye Zifan turned the teacup, looked at his youngest son's anxious state, and sighed secretly: "That's it!"

opened his mouth and said lightly: "The virtuous nephew is really ambitious, this is the right reason, this matter will be stopped like this, Uncle Wei will not force you to ......"

Listening to these cold words, Ye Qing bowed down, and his heart cooled.

Ye Sheng glanced at his father in surprise at this time, and was about to speak, when he heard his father say again.

"It's just that you haven't reached the crown yet, you don't abide by the clan rules, you can't report to the clan when you go out at night, and you should be grounded for three months according to ......the clan rules" Ye Zifan gently touched the lid of the cup, scraped the tea leaves, and his voice was as flat as water: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules...... Are you convinced?"

Ye Sheng turned from surprise to joy, looked at Ye Qing with ill intentions, was grounded for three months, and even passed the boy's test.

Ye Qing sighed secretly, this is still a lack of luck, it is inevitable that this catastrophe will be avoided, now the nature of this matter is still small, if it is a head-on confrontation, it will be a confrontation with the entire Ye clan, and then it will be called gray ash.

Ye Qing sorted out his emotions and just smiled slightly: "This is a matter of course, Qing is willing to follow it!"

Ye Zifan moved the lid of the cup for a moment, this answer made him a little surprised, and a little shocked, and glanced at Ye Qing again, feeling empty in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little remorseful.

After the last sip, he took a sip of tea and instructed the housekeeper: "Deacon Zhang, you take Young Master Ying down and settle him in the third room of the back house to study, and there must be no slack in the treatment of him, I will check it myself!"
