Starting from the world of Joy of Life

Chapter 70 Fan Jian: His Majesty is still gracious to you

"I mentioned it to you before, going out for training."

"I am dismissed from the post of Commander of the Military Department. Go and do your job. If you do it well, I will not let you down."

"The errand is specific, someone will come to find you, go ahead."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Ye Zheng expressed his gratitude and shouted "Long live the emperor" before he stood up and stepped forward to take the imperial edict.

Lao Deng is domineering.

The Menxia Province is like a mascot.

The imperial edict can also be written directly to him.

……

Yefu
study
"Since you have a beating, you should also hit me with a stick and give me a date." Ye Chong slowly rolled up the imperial edict and said.

"Dates? Just a pie in the sky." Ye Zheng leaned against the armchair, not looking serious.

In the imperial study, he was timid and submissive, but when he got home, he...

His father gave him a look and Ye Zheng sat up straight.

“Replying one is one, it’s always a good thing.” Ye Zhong’s resolute face broke into a smile.

Thinking of something, he hesitated, and said decisively, "Your second sister..."

"Second sister will go back with us." Ye Zheng said before him.

Ye Chong frowned, not quite agreeing.

Ye Zheng pretended not to see it and said, "My son is getting married. My father has a lot of official duties and my mother has housework. I also have official duties. It is reasonable to ask my second sister to return to the old house and pay respects to the ancestors, right?"

"Let Second Sister go back and decide whether to meet him or not. I will think of a way to prevent him from granting her marriage."

Ye Zhong was also dragging his feet, "Okay, your plan is halfway done this time, I'll go tell your sixth uncle and the others and tell them to hurry up and pack up."

"Ask Sixth Uncle to bring Fourth Sister's family back to Dingzhou. It's reasonable for a son-in-law to take refuge with his father-in-law, right?"

Ye Zhong, "..."

……

The next day, 5:00 pm (6:15 pm)
Fan Mansion
Ye Zheng was very busy that day.

It turns out that resigning is not an easy task.

It’s no easier than handing over work in the workplace.

The new military commander Pan Qi saw him off very "enthusiastically", and implied that he could resign at any time as long as he was notified in advance.

Wen Di and Zhong Li resigned from the position of deputy commander. The process was very fast and Pan Qi accepted them on the spot.

After finishing the clan affairs and official duties, it’s time to take care of yourself.

This is not the first or second time that I have come to the young lady's house, and the servant who leads the way is just a symbol.

After entering the study, as soon as he saw Old Taishan, Ye Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Uncle, I am sorry for being reckless and causing trouble for you."

"How can you cause me any trouble? Sit down." Old Taishan is really steady when he is steady.

It's just that when it comes to matters concerning my eldest uncle, my emotions are sometimes a little out of control.

"You look calm, is the matter settled?" Fan Jian said with a smile.

Ye Zheng nodded and told Emperor Qing's final order. As for the details of the scene in the imperial study, he did not mention it.

Fan Jian had a complicated look in his eyes, and was pleased. He sighed, "I still remember that a few days ago, I was talking to you about your future promotion path. I never thought..."

"That's fine. Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Since you've resigned from your post, why not quit the military class and participate in the imperial examination next year? With your literary talent and calligraphy, you're worth a try."

Ye Zheng did not refuse, nor did he agree, he just said, "I don't know what mission His Majesty has sent me."

Fan Jian knew that his son-in-law was just trying to delay the situation, but he was not angry. The situation was good now and he had the advantage.

"No matter what the job is, just do your best." After encouraging him, he said, "Go find them. They heard that the emperor suspended you from your post and you stayed at home to reflect on your mistakes. They were scared and wanted to visit you, but today you..."

"His Majesty is still gracious to you."

Ye Zheng didn't comment in his heart, but he responded, bowed to the north, stood up, and said goodbye to Lao Taishan.

……

Fan Ruoruo Courtyard

"Brother, are you okay?"

Before he even stepped into the yard, Fan Sizhe came hurriedly, grabbed Ye Zheng's arm, looked him over carefully, and stared at him closely. Ye Zheng smiled, "It's okay, thank you for your concern."

Fan Sizhe looked as if a huge stone had been lifted off his shoulders. "Oh, what are you talking about? It's only natural that I care about you. It's good that nothing has happened. Brother, I'm not saying anything wrong, but you too..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw his sister approaching from a distance.

"Brother, let's talk later. I'm going back first."

What a discerning brother-in-law!
Much better than that uncle!

The young lady came in a hurry, and when she stopped, a fragrant breeze blew over her.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on his face for a long while.

Fortunately, the young lady was not a weak and pretentious person, so she did not shed tears.

Probably realizing that she was too concerned, her beautiful eyes flickered. She clearly had a lot to say to him and a lot to warn him about, but when they came to her lips, she said, "You seem to have been busy all day. Have you eaten yet?"

For ordinary families, they should eat at 4:30 pm.

Ye Zheng felt just at ease in his heart, his brows gradually relaxed, revealing a faint smile, "I was just about to ask you to make a bowl of soup noodles."

"Okay, you go in and wait." Fan Ruoruo smiled and nodded slightly.

He turned and went to the kitchen, only to find that the man was following him.

She stopped and met his eyes. Without her asking, Ye Zheng smiled and said, "You are not in your boudoir, so I'd better stay with you, so that my uncle won't accuse me of overstepping my bounds again."

Fan Ruoruo sometimes felt helpless about this guy and her brother's behavior of "eye drops" on each other.

"Let's go."

……

灶房
The young lady's hands were slender and white, and she kneaded and squeezed the dough with even and steady force.

"Your hands are a waste if you don't practice some hand skills."

Ye Zheng took a round stool and sat behind her.

God's gift?

Fan Ruoruo fluttered her thick eyelashes.

"I heard that your family practices hand skills, how about you teach me?"

She seemed to be in a good mood, and her girlish agility was revealed.

Ye Zheng looked up at her face, which was shining brightly in the sunset glow, and said with a smile, "Then you better hold on tight."

Fan Ruoruo was stunned for a moment, "Hold on...what?"

Ye Zheng paused as his gaze fell on her cheek, glanced outside the kitchen, and said, "Marry me."

Even though she had some thoughts in her mind, she still felt nervous when she heard Ye Zheng say it in person.

"I really am... I saw someone behaving unruly as soon as I arrived." Suddenly, Fan Xian's voice came.

The young lady couldn't hide the shame in her eyes.

"Your eyesight is not good, so go to Yong'an Hall to get some medicine." Ye Zheng glanced at him and said, "The two of us are in the moonlight and the wind is clear."

"My medical skills are no worse than those of the master chef at Yong'an Hall." Fan Xian retorted, his eyes falling on the dough on the chopping board, "Making soup noodles again?"

"Slow down." He said to Fan Ruoruo, then turned to look at Ye Zheng, "Come with me."

Fan Ruoruo looked at her brother strangely, then her eyes fell on Ye Zheng's face, revealing a hint of concern.

Can my uncle eat me?

Ye Zheng stood up and smiled at her, "It's okay."

He always gets compliments for his good looks and looks very nice when he smiles.

After meeting him several times, Fan Ruoruo didn't feel bored.

After watching him and his brother approach the pavilion not far from the kitchen, she withdrew her gaze.

Here
In the west, only half of the sun was left.

Covered by the courtyard wall, a small part of the pavilion is submerged in shadow.

"I just ask one question. It's very cliché, but I still want to ask, what is my sister to you?"

“After the Ye family left Kyoto, what about your amulet as a proton?”

"Or did you give someone else a handle in order to get the Ye family out of Kyoto?"
