Chapter 205: A Righteous Gentleman

Ye Xingyuan was stunned, although he was lucky enough to get a knighthood, but he didn't have the idea of taking the martial path, what was the use of asking for this treasure knife? If you want to make a career with this precious sword, what use will I have?"

Li Cheng sighed on the side: "Brother Xian, don't shirk, I have been thinking clearly these days." I had a stumbling career, and I wanted to go through the door when I entered Beijing this time, but I didn't want to be hurt by someone, so I only delayed it here, and it was difficult to make a difference when I went back.

and then there were accidents, but fortunately, the virtuous brother was able to save his life with the help of volunteers. Now that he is disheartened, this time Hua Shigang has happened, and he plans to resign when he returns to his hometown. It is useless to keep this treasure knife by your side, it is better to use it to congratulate the virtuous brother on his ascension. ”

After experiencing a catastrophe in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, Li Cheng also figured out that his temper is really not suitable for mixing with officialdom, and if he persists like this, sooner or later he will drag down the family.

Ye Xingyuan thought to himself, this person will only be angry when he becomes an official in the peaceful years, and it is not bad to return to his hometown and wait for the opportunity, but it is just a treasure knife handed down by his ancestors, and it is really difficult for him to accept it.

Then he shirked and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and it is not a bad thing for Brother Li to plan to temporarily retire and enjoy Qingfu, but it is better to keep this treasure knife, at least it is a thought left by an ancestor." ”

Mrs. Li said with tears in her eyes: "I want to break this thought of him! The Li family is loyal and good, sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, and died so that only some orphans and widows are left, how can they protect their children and grandchildren? Ye Gongzi is now knighted, and he will be rich and noble in the future, this is the person who can hold this sword. If you don't take it, I'll have to throw it away. ”

Li Cheng sighed again and again, but did not speak, Ye Xingyuan saw that the two of them had made up their minds, so he could only reluctantly take the treasure knife and said: "Brother Li and his wife are strong, and I can only accept it temporarily, so I can be regarded as a virtuous couple for a while." If you want to get it back in the future, just come to me. ”

Mrs. Li was overjoyed, and it was as if she had broken a bane when she gave away the treasure knife, and her whole complexion was much better. Although Li Cheng was reluctant, he was probably persuaded by his wife to make a decision, and he was sincerely grateful to Ye Xingyuan, and felt that the family heirloom knife was not a pearl in his hand, so he was also relieved, and only drank a glass of wine, and after a while, he was so drunk that he didn't know who was there.

Ye Xingyuan also drank a few more glasses. I was a little drowsy in my head, and when I saw that Li Cheng was drunk, I wanted to say goodbye and go back to sleep. Mrs. Li persuaded him to drink diligently: "Ye Gongzi, you saved my master, I haven't thanked him well, today he is drunk, and I will accompany my son to drink three glasses to show sincerity." ”

She was slender with her hands, and carried the green jade wine jug to fill it for Ye Xingyuan. He turned around and took a white porcelain cup and poured it for himself. As soon as he raised his neck, he drank dry, smiled lightly at the bottom of the cup, and showed a bit of style between his eyebrows.

Ye Xingyuan vaguely heard Li Cheng mention that his wife was originally from a dusty background. However, this kind of thing involves selfishness, and he didn't ask too much. At this moment, seeing that Mrs. Li drank a lot of alcohol, she didn't worry about it, so she only persuaded: "Why should Mrs. Sister-in-law be so polite." Brother Li is worthy of my brother, and you can call me by my first name. As soon as you recover from a serious illness, this cup is enough. ”

He lifted the cup himself and drank it in one gulp. The mainstream wine in the Xuanyuan world is still fermented and brewed with grain. The distillation process is not mature, and distilled spirits are called "stinky liquor", and only low-level laborers will drink a few sips. Today, Li Cheng invited guests, the wine he used was good brewing, and the taste was similar to rice wine, Ye Xingyuan could also drink a pound now, as long as he didn't borrow wine to kill his sorrows like Li Cheng, he should not get drunk quickly.

Mrs. Li's eyes were circulating, she was actually very beautiful, but she had a sick look on her face a few days ago, and Ye Xingyuan also firmly believed that "friends and wives should not be bullied", so she didn't look at it much at all. At this time, after drinking wine, he became more and more radiant, his cheeks were a little bloody, and his skin was whiter than snow.

She shook her head and chuckled: "Since you call me my sister-in-law, I should call me 'uncle', Li Cheng has no brothers, and I am also lonely, I don't know where my parents and relatives are since I was a child." I have long felt that there is no mother's family, and my mother-in-law's family is not reliable, but today I have an uncle, and I am very happy in my heart, so I have to have another drink. ”

Mrs. Li poured herself full again, raised her head towards Ye Xingyuan, and drank it dry again.

Ye Xingyuan was helpless, he also accompanied a cup, and then stopped: "Sister-in-law's mind, I have already understood it, and if I drink more, I am afraid of hurting my body."

Mrs. Li ignored him, poured the third cup by herself, and said with a smile: "Uncle is a young man, but at the age of seventeen, he is already a provincial solution, and he will try it next year, and he will become famous all over the world." Now that he has been knighted, it can really be said that he is both civil and military, much stronger than your unsuccessful brother. ”

There was a lot of grievance in her tone, Ye Xingyuan felt that something was wrong, and sneered: "After Brother Li is famous, he is proficient in martial arts, although he is not willing to do so now, he may not have the day to turn over in the future." Zai Xia is just a scholar who is helpless, how can he compare with him? ”

Mrs. Li picked up the wine glass with her green fingers, looked at Ye Xingyuan with a smile, lowered her head and bit the rim of the glass, took a sip and said, "Thank you uncle for your kindness, your brother is not as gentle and petty as your uncle, you should have many confidantes like you, right?"

This topic is a little embarrassing, Ye Xingyuan glanced at Li Cheng who was drunk and lying on the case, coughed, and was about to talk about him left and right, but Mrs. Li didn't wait for him to answer, and said: "This third glass of wine is to congratulate my uncle on his knighthood, and to get the Li family's treasure knife, I will definitely be able to enter the phase in the future and stabilize the world." ”

No matter how sluggish Ye Xingyuan was, he also felt that Mrs. Li's performance was strange at this time. Although your husband is drunk, he is still lying on his stomach next to him! Is this a seduction or is I thinking too much? He is a child in the ninth generation, and even the fox spirit who is as beautiful as a flower is like a jade, and this sister-in-law, who has only seen two sides, is still less troublesome.

"Then drink this one more cup, and when I'm done, I'm going to take my leave. The night was cold, Brother Li was drunk again, and his sister-in-law took him to rest earlier. Ye Xingyuan absentmindedly picked up the wine glass, but found that his wine glass was empty, and he was stunned.

When Mrs. Li was stunned by Ye Xingyuan, she stretched out her hand and handed the wine glass she had drunk to him, her eyes were hot, and she said softly: "If Uncle is intentional, he drank half of my residual wine."

Ye Xingyuan hurriedly took a step back, and nervously glanced at Li Cheng who was lying on the side again, this was a seduce in front of her husband. On one side of the wine glass, there is still Mrs. Li's bright red half-lip print, and the development of this plot is too weird, right?

If this is a righteous gentleman, he should snatch this wine and splash it on the ground, and shout a few more times: "I am a man who stands up to the sky and the earth, and wears his teeth and wears hair, not such a pig and dog who corrupts customs and has no humanity!

However, Ye Xingyuan is not a righteous gentleman in the general sense, he has always been a person who thinks about things a few more layers. Tonight's incident was weird from the start.

Mrs. Li insisted on giving Ye Xingyuan the heirloom knife of the Li family, before she was willing to advance and retreat with her husband, and she was happy to live in poverty, and the knife was sent to avoid disaster, but it can also be explained.

But before the three glasses of wine were down, she suddenly showed her nature, not such a virtuous lady. At this time, when I think back to the previous knife delivery, I feel that something is wrong no matter how I think about it.

Did she want to stick it upside down with someone with a knife? Ye Xingyuan touched his face, although this skin looked good, it didn't seem to be so white, right?

What is Mrs. Li's purpose in sending knives and seducing? Ye Xingyuan had no doubts in his heart, and after a little hesitation, he smiled bitterly: "Mrs. Li has drunk too much, don't be joking, let's rest early." ”

The trouble is about to start, Li Cheng's face is not good-looking, Ye Xingyuan thought about finding a reason to move out with the old Tang Zhu Ning'er, otherwise he should reduce the contact as much as possible, so as not to cause any trouble.

Mrs. Li put down her wine glass, and Ying Ying smiled: "Uncle is really a true gentleman who does not sit still, I wanted to ask for a good night first, and then say that it is cheap." What is the benefit in the future, the two of us have a relationship and are easy to distribute, but now it is difficult for people. ”

She put her hand on her cheek, such a straightforward seduction was rejected but she didn't show any shame, her eyes were still wandering over Ye Xingyuan, and she didn't seem to want to give up.

Ye Xingyuan's heart moved, and he said loudly: "What does Mrs. Sister-in-law say, and I said it clearly, is it related to this Li Jiabao knife? No matter what the benefits are, I am not interested in it, so I will ask Mrs. Sister-in-law to take back this knife." Tonight's events are as if nothing had happened. ”

Mrs. Li's words have already made it clear that she wants to cooperate with Ye Xingyuan to make benefits, so the biggest possibility is that Li Jiabao's knife may be hiding some secrets. To be honest, Ye Xingyuan is really not interested, he is now in front of him, why bother to make troubles and get himself into trouble?

Even if the Li family's treasure knife really hid some treasure that was rich and rivaled the country, Ye Xingyuan would rather keep it out.

Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows, showed appreciation on her face, and said with a smile: "Uncle is really smart, he can guess the key point of tonight with just a few words." However, the secret hidden in Li Jiabao's knife, it is impossible for anyone in the world not to be moved, if you know the truth, you will never give up cooperation with me. ”

Ye Xingyuan frowned and said, "No matter how precious it is, it is also the Li family's thing." Since the sister-in-law married into the Li family, she should follow the three virtues and four virtues, and not be greedy and make mistakes. ”

Mrs. Li chuckled, leaned closer to Ye Xingyuan, and exhaled like an orchid, "Just Li Cheng, the old lady married him, and I originally expected him to be able to win a liehou with a knife and a gun, so that he could open the treasure knife as soon as possible." I have already taken the treasures, and I can return to my homeland.

How do you know that he has been stumbling for several years and has achieved nothing, so I spent a lot of money to get him a nine-grade system. He is a man with a stubborn temper, and he can't be tied to the official, but now not only is there no hope of promotion, but he may not even be able to keep his current official position. What do you think I want him to do?" (To be continued......)
