Shoufu doesn't dote on me

The old butler wiped the cold sweat off his face, and cautiously approached, "My lord, do you want someone to bring you hangover soup?"

Ye Zhen looked at Shuangcheng coldly, his eyes were deep and dark, and his thin lips were tightly pursed into an arc. At this time, a servant really brought hangover soup, and before it was poured into Shuangcheng's mouth, he was slapped It was overthrown, and pieces of porcelain were shattered all over the place.

"Come on, bring a bucket of cold water!"

Immediately, a servant obeyed the order, and after a while, a bucket of well water was brought up.

Ye Zhen ordered lightly, "Go and sober up your second master."

So the servants carried the bucket of water again, and moved over tremblingly. Two servants supported Shuangcheng and poured a bucket of water on it from head to toe.

In an instant, Shuangcheng became a drowned chicken, wet all over, with black hair in clumps, and the night wind blew to slow down the alcohol a little bit, and heard Ye Zhen say in a daze, "Splash again."

After splashing it several times one after another, Shuangcheng really woke up now. Seeing Ye Zhen standing aside at the moment, staring at him with a calm expression, he felt his hands and feet go limp for a while, and as soon as the servant let go, he couldn't hold on. As if stopped, plopped down on his knees, and called out tremblingly, "Brother."

Seeing his usual angry expression on Ye Zhen's face again, Shuangcheng frightened, and hurriedly lowered his head, and heard Ye Zhen's cold voice from above his head, "Who made him drink?"

Shuangcheng knew that he was not asking him, so he gritted his teeth for a moment, his teeth chattering, and heard the old housekeeper say, "My lord, this second master went out with Mr. Zhuo today, and he was drunk when he came back. This this……"

Hearing this, Ye Zhen frowned, and asked again, "Where did Mr. Zhuo go?"

At this time, the attendant Fei Se came in from outside and whispered something in Ye Zhen's ear, so that Ye Zhen stopped asking the butler, and just stared at Shuangcheng for a while.

Shuangcheng bowed his head and knelt on the ground, as if admitting his mistake, his trembling hands didn't know where to put them, thinking that he was so presumptuous just now, he even wanted to throw himself into the river now.

Ye Zhen said coldly, "Come with me."

Shuangcheng didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly followed, but kept his head down, keeping a distance from Ye Zhen where he could easily escape.

After arriving at the East Courtyard, Ye Zhen turned around and entered the study room, leaving only one sentence, "Kneel down and reflect on yourself."

Shuangcheng was terrified at the moment, how dare he disobey the order, and knelt down as soon as he lifted his robe, feeling infinitely terrified.

☆, Lonely Star and Bright Moon (Catching Insects)

If you talk about why Shuangcheng is so presumptuous today, there is actually a reason.

After Ye Zhen left, Zhuo Qingcai was extremely bored in the mansion, so he wanted to go out of the mansion.

This was exactly what Shuangcheng wanted, and the two hit it off immediately, and went straight to the brothel after leaving the mansion.

In the brothel, there was the sound of willows and birds, and the two of them opened a private room, where they sat and drank.

At first, Shuangcheng remembered that Ye Zhen would not allow him to drink, so he evaded it for a while, but after Zhuo Qingcai's repeated instigation, he emboldened himself and drank.

After drinking for three rounds, both of them became drunk, and while talking and laughing, they mentioned Ye Zhen's previous school days, and Shuangcheng became interested, pestering Zhuo Qingcai to tell him about it.

Zhuo Qingcai talked casually at first, but because he drank a few more drinks, he picked out a few interesting things to say without thinking.

It's nothing more than how talented Ye Zhen was, how he was admired by others, and how beautiful he was when he was studying.

Shuangcheng listened, stars appeared in his eyes, and he asked casually, "Did brother mention me in front of others?"

Zhuo Qingcai shook his head and said, "No."

Shuangcheng immediately said: "How is it possible?! I don't believe it!"

Zhuo Qingcai said: "Believe it or not, when I first met your brother, I never knew that he had a younger brother in Binzhou. Those classmates and friends of your brother all said that your brother is the only son of the eldest son of the family and has no siblings." of!"

When Shuangcheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he said something in a daze, but Zhuo Qingcai didn't pay attention, and said to himself: "Your elder brother, he is not an ordinary person. Fayan."

Afterwards, Zhuo Qingcai seemed to have something important to do. Before he could say goodbye to Ye Zhen in the future, he only said hello to Shuangcheng, and then hurried away with others.

After Zhuo Qingcai left, Shuangcheng was drinking alone, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and thinking about Ye Zhen's attitude towards him in the past few days, he immediately guessed that Ye Zhen refused to treat him as a brother.

For a moment, Shuangcheng only felt aggrieved, and secretly thought of Ye Zhen's disregard for himself in the past ten years, and the strict discipline he had imposed on him during this period of time, which further affirmed his guess:

Ye Zhen must not care about him!

Shuangcheng headed back to the mansion in a daze, feeling full of grievances and having no place to vent, and resorting to alcohol to play drunk, that's how the scene just happened.

Several buckets of cold water were poured on him, Shuangcheng was completely sober, his teeth chattered uncontrollably, his hands pinched the corners of his clothes, it was fine at first, but after kneeling for a long time, he felt thousands of lumps on his knees. The little bugs are biting, and it hurts so much to move a little bit.

Looking up, Shuangcheng saw that the study in the East Wing was brightly lit, and a long and slender shadow fell by the window. The night was very lonely, and Shuangcheng felt very desolate.

Shuangcheng thought to himself: Just now I was messing around, making trouble in the backyard, visiting brothels during the day, getting drunk, no matter what I bring up, I can't please.Given how powerful Ye Zhen is, he will definitely not let her go lightly today.

He curled his lips secretly again, thinking of Ye Zhen's appearance as a white-clothed scholar, he couldn't help but slander him, thinking that Ye Zhen seemed to have two faces, and he didn't feel weak when he hit him.

So Shuangcheng looked up at the sky, seeing the lone star and bright moon above his head was very desolate, so he lowered his head again, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, Shuangcheng suddenly saw that the lights in the study were turned off, thinking that Ye Zhen was going to sleep.He couldn't help feeling a little panicked. Wouldn't Ye Zhen sleep until dawn, so would he have to kneel on his knees all night?How is it possible? !

Shuangcheng bit her lip, stood up carefully with her knees on her knees, moved a little, couldn't help "hissing", moved carefully to the window, and called out in a low voice, "Brother."

No one cares about him.

Shuangcheng swallowed his saliva, and called again, "Brother, are you asleep?"

It was still quiet inside.

Shuangcheng gritted his teeth, and said quickly, "Brother, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare again. I am really sleepy. I will stop here today, okay. I will definitely listen to my brother in the future, and I will never dare to mess around again." Already!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his legs and was about to run, when Ye Zhen's cold voice came from inside the room, "Well, you go back."

Shuangcheng was frightened, almost laying his face on the ground, and nodded tremblingly, then ran back staggeringly.

After returning to the courtyard, Qiu Ming was squatting and waiting outside. When she saw Shuangcheng coming back, her eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward to greet her, "Second Master, Second Master, are you alright?"

Shuangcheng took a deep breath, feeling dizzy, and wanted to say that he was fine, but the next moment his feet were unsteady, and he fell flat on the ground.

"Second Master, Second Master?! Come quickly, Second Master has passed out, come quickly!"

The originally quiet Ye Mansion was immediately brightly lit, and the faces of the servants and maids who were coming and going were all anxious. Ye Zhen was also disturbed by the movement in the East Courtyard. He casually put on a long robe and was about to visit the East Courtyard. Thinking of something, he paused.

Scarlet was puzzled, she held a lantern and asked softly under the moon, "Sir, why don't you go and have a look?"

Ye Zhen didn't answer, but ordered lightly, "Go ask the doctor to come and have a look."

Fei Seying, just turned around, but couldn't help turning around again, and cautiously persuaded, "My lord, the second master is still young, and he sometimes messes up for a while, and he has been taught a lesson. I also know I was wrong."

Hearing this, Ye Zhen gave a faint "hmm", his eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In this way, Fei Se didn't dare to persuade her anymore, and hurried out of the mansion in the dark to invite the doctor to come over.

After the doctor came over, he heard and asked about it, and concluded that Shuangcheng was just suffering from a cold, so he prescribed several doses of medicine, and the housekeeper led him down to get the consultation fee.When the butler turned back to bring the medicine, he met the study in the East Wing. He saw a light inside, and a slender figure fell on the window. He was stunned for a moment, shook his head secretly, and turned back to the East Wing.

The commotion in the east courtyard didn't stop until midnight. Ye Zhen took a pen and copied the "Book of Commandments" several times after writing at the desk. Then he rubbed his brows, blew out the lights, and closed his clothes to sleep.

In the early morning of the second day, Ye Zhen changed into court clothes, a round neck shirt, a belt, and a black gauze hat as usual, before walking out.Outside the door, Scarlet had already prepared the sedan chair and was standing aside waiting.

Ye Zhen's brows were a little black, and he paused in front of the gate of the mansion. At this time, the old housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, the second master has lost his fever and is now fast asleep. The doctor also said that there is nothing serious." .”

In this way, Ye Zhen nodded lightly, and without hesitation, seeing Fei Se opened the car curtain, leaned slightly and sat in.

There were still important matters to be done in the previous dynasty. Ye Zhen sat in the sedan chair, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, gradually stopped thinking about the two cities.

☆, Oolong

Shuangcheng suffered from the wind and cold this time, and he really fell ill. In the past, he was as strong as a calf, and he never knew what wind and cold are. Now he drinks three bitter medicines every day, doubting his life, but instead It made him feel a little desolate:

This medicine is so bitter, Ye Zhen is so narrow-minded.

Ever since Shuangcheng played drunkenly that night and was punished to kneel for half the night, Ye Zhen never visited the East Courtyard once, and only told the housekeeper, and there were only two words: foot restraint.

After thinking about this, Shuangcheng Si came to some thoughts: the reason why he was so pretentious that night was because he drank too much wine, his mind was flooded, and he couldn't think about it for a while.Because he felt that his father didn't love his mother, he was like a cabbage in the field, and Ye Zhen was too strict, so he came up with the idea of ​​turning himself into a serf and singing.

It's just that this idea is brought up now, and it is really not, mature, mature!

But now, Shuangcheng can feel a bit sad.If Ye Zhen really doesn't care about him from now on, won't he really become an orphan that no one wants?

--ah? !orphan! ?

Thinking of this, Shuangcheng sighed twice, staring at the medicine bowl in a daze.

The old butler said from the side: "Second Lord, the medicine is almost cold."

Shuangcheng drooped his eyelids, and said "Yes" without raising his head. After thinking for a while, he asked sideways, "I said housekeeper, what are your adults doing these days?"

It was probably the first time the butler heard Shuangcheng call him "butler" in such a polite and polite manner. He felt flattered for a moment, and even forgot about urging him to drink the medicine. Just stay in the study and deal with official business, didn't go anywhere, Second Lord!"

"Then... where does he sleep at night?"

The housekeeper said, "This... sleeps in the study."

Shuangcheng opened his eyes, slapped his thigh, and said loudly, "Where do you sleep? Sleep in the study! Is this how you treat your adults?"

The butler looked distressed, looked at Shuangcheng's face a few more times, and stopped talking.

In this way, Shuangcheng suddenly remembered that the yard he lives in now is the yard Ye Zhen used to live in, and the house he lives in is next to Ye Zhen's house...

For no reason, Shuangcheng felt that he was occupying the magpie's nest. He pinched his chin and thought for a while, and secretly slandered: Ye Zhen is angry with me again, so he won't go back to his room to sleep. It's not the same dormitory anyway, so he can't see him. If you look down, what are you afraid of?I am not afraid!

Waving his hands irritably, Shuangcheng fell into the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

The old housekeeper was stunned, and he said: "Second Master, you haven't taken your medicine yet!"

Shuangcheng yelled at him angrily, "Drink, drink, what are you drinking? You are the one who wants to drink medicine, and your whole family needs to drink medicine!"

The old housekeeper was reproached for no reason, and couldn't help shaking his face, like the bark of an old pine tree. He suddenly remembered something, took a step forward, and said leisurely, "Second Master, this is what the adults ordered."

When Shuangcheng heard this, he immediately lost his composure.He threw back the quilt and sat up, frowned and squinted at the butler, and asked in disbelief, "Really? You didn't lie to me?"

The butler immediately nodded and waved his hands again and again to express that he dare not lie.

In this way, Shuangcheng felt at ease again. He rubbed his fingers and fell back on the bed. No matter what the housekeeper said this time, he just didn't get up to take the medicine.

The old butler was so angry that he almost dropped the medicine bowl.

It was already late when Ye Zhen returned to the mansion, and he went to the yamen again today, because the prefect of Jing'an Province cried loudly in the prison and said that he was also ordered by others and dared not disobey.In this way, Ji Ruchen sent someone to invite Ye Zhen to go over, and together they secretly interrogated the magistrate.

But because the magistrate was afraid of the forces behind him, he gritted his teeth, hesitating, faltering, and he still couldn't get to the point, and he went back and forth for a long time.

Ji Ruchen couldn't hold back his temper, and almost killed the magistrate alive, Ye Zhen said a few more words of consolation before he gave up.

There is a faint tiredness between Ye Zhen's brows and eyes, and when he looks carefully, there is a black cloud in the corner of his eyes.Just arrived at the house, the butler came over from the side, "Your Excellency, you are back."

Ye Zhen nodded, went back to the study, turned around and went into the cubicle to change into his homely clothes. When he came out, seeing the butler still standing in the room, he asked casually, "But what's the matter?"

The housekeeper smiled and said, "My lord, the second master doesn't know why, but he just doesn't want to take the medicine anymore. There are still several prescriptions for the medicine prepared by the doctor. How can the disease be cured before the medicine arrives?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhen frowned slightly. He went straight to the book case, stood in front of a high row of bookshelves, wandered around for a while, and then pulled out two volumes.He flicked the paper lightly with his fingers, turned around and said softly, "Leave him alone."

"This……"

The housekeeper shook his head, but he couldn't say anything. He bowed and sighed again.

Shuangcheng gambled for several days because he hadn't recovered from the cold, and he refused to take medicine properly. In his free time, he was always depressed and stayed behind closed doors. He had already lost weight in just a few days.The housekeeper looked around anxiously, but Ye Zhen and Shuangcheng were both very stubborn people.

Qiu Ming persuaded: "Second Master, I think you should admit your mistake like an adult. You are both brothers of the same mother. It is not good to always be born like this. Why are you so stiff? Talk about something! Er I have done so many wrong things before, and my lord has tolerated them all, how could it be worse?"

The butler agreed, "Yes, Second Master, Your Excellency has been very concerned about Second Master these days."

Shuangcheng curled her lips, thinking: Ye Zhen obviously doesn't care about me, why wouldn't he come to see me once in a while?I am the little cabbage in the field!It's still the kind that was dispatched to his hometown in the countryside, and he didn't even care about his own brother!

He shouted angrily: "What do you all know? Why does Ye Zhen care about me? He only cares about getting promoted and getting rich and marrying his wife. Now that the sky is falling, he will still go to court on time tomorrow!"

Qiu Ming: "......this..."

The old butler: "..."

After another two days, Shuangcheng couldn't bear it anymore, he was used to being shameless, so he comforted himself a little, and then thought of coaxing his brother.He sneaked to the study in the East Wing while there was no one there.

He knew that at this time, Ye Zhen would definitely handle official business in the study.

Sure enough, Shuangcheng peeked on tiptoe, but couldn't help hesitating.After thinking for a while, he made up his mind, pushed the door open and entered, took a few steps, and knelt down, both paws stuck to the ground, closed his eyes and howled: "Brother! I don’t dare anymore! I beg you to have a lot of people. For the sake of Shuangcheng’s youth and ignorance, forgive Shuangcheng this time! I swear to God, I will never mess up again! In the future, I will never dare Say two! I will do whatever my brother asks me to do! If I want to study, I will study, and I will never poison other people’s dogs, steal other people’s peaches, or my relative’s little girl!”

Shuangcheng talked nonchalantly for a long time, but there was still silence above his head. He was puzzled, and couldn't help but sneak a few glances. He saw Ye Zhen and a handsome strange man staring at him without blinking. He sees.

Shuangcheng didn't know that there were other people in the study, and originally wanted to break in directly, but Ye Zhen couldn't chase him away anyway.But at this moment, someone else is here, looking at the clothes and attire, he must be a minister of the court, and his official position may not be low!For a moment, Shuangcheng panicked and felt that he had embarrassed his brother again.He shrank his head timidly, knelt on the ground and faltered, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Ji Ruchen was stunned for a moment, frowned suddenly, and scolded coldly, "Bold! Who let you in!" Just now the two of them were discussing the corruption of the prefect of Jing'an Province, but now someone broke in and interrupted abruptly talked.

Shuangcheng gritted his teeth. If someone talked to him like this in normal times, he would push back even more.But now under Ye Zhen's nose, it's hard to speak.

Ye Zhen stared at Shuangcheng for a moment, and introduced to Ji Ruchen who was beside him: "Master Ji, this is my younger brother, Ye Shuangcheng."

Ji Ruchen heard Ye Shuangcheng call Ye Zhen "brother" just now, and he couldn't believe it at first, but now he heard Ye Zhen admit it himself, and he couldn't help showing a bit of surprise.

However, Ye Zhen didn't care about this, and only whispered to Shuangcheng, "What's the matter? You still don't get up, and wait for Brother Wei to help you in person?"

In this way, Shuangcheng stood up tremblingly again, and resigned because he felt that he was too redundant here.

At this time, Ji Ruchen said, "Forget it, let's come here first for today's matter, and we can discuss it when we have time."

Ye Zhen nodded and got up to see him off.

☆, coax him!

I don't know if it was the illusion of Shuangcheng, but he always felt that Ji Ruchen looked at him before he left, he was obviously suspicious.

— Doubt what?Suspect that I'm not Ye Zhen's younger brother?Or do you suspect that I came here to eavesdrop on purpose?

Before Shuangcheng opened his mouth, he saw Ye Zhen turn around, and he hurriedly lowered his head again, making a small crouching posture.

Ye Zhen stood in the corridor with his hands tied, stared at him for a moment, and suddenly said, "What do you want from me?"

Shuangcheng nodded, raised his face, and seriously admitted his mistake, "Brother, Shuangcheng knows that he made a mistake, and he will never dare to do it again in the future. Forgive Shuangcheng once."

But Ye Zhen listened to these words a lot, and for a moment he only said slowly, "Then tell me what's wrong with you."

Shuangcheng's face turned red, and he faltered and said something wrong in a low voice, the voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was almost inaudible, and even the roots of the ears were red.With a look of shame and impatience, he stood uneasy, and subconsciously called out,

"Brother~"

No one cares about him.

Shuangcheng dared to pull the corner of Ye Zhen's clothes, but was frightened by his faint look, and immediately withdrew his hand.

"elder brother."

Shuangcheng's eyes became foggy, and the eye sockets gradually turned red. He lowered his head, bit his lower lip, and tugged at the corner of his clothes vigorously.

Seeing this, Ye Zhen sighed secretly, stretched out his hand to touch Shuangcheng's head, and said, "Forget it, I was ill for a while, and I was fined for a round. Just remember the lesson in the future, and don't always be frizzy when doing things. Can I have a snack?"

After hearing this, Shuangcheng smiled happily and nodded repeatedly, "I can remember the lesson best!"

As they got closer, Shuangcheng finally saw the black and blue under Ye Zhen's eyes, and secretly felt ashamed for a while, feeling that he was too childish, and that he was making too much of a fuss.If Ye Zhen really didn't treat him as his own brother, he should have thrown him back to Binzhou and ignored him, and he would have come all the way to the capital.

This is really a storm caused by small-minded children.

Before the smile on the corner of Shuangcheng's mouth could be withdrawn, it froze on his face with a "click".

Ye Zhen said: "From today onwards, move out of the East Courtyard, be confined for ten days, and then copy the "Book of Precepts" five times, do you remember?"

"elder brother!"

"Ok?"

Seeing the seriousness on Ye Zhen's face, Shuangcheng bit his lips for a while, because he couldn't bargain with Ye Zhen, so he nodded, and replied very politely, "Yes."

In this way, the old housekeeper led a group of servants in the mansion, and moved the nest to Shuangcheng in a mighty way.

If it was the past, Shuangcheng really wanted to move out of the East Courtyard, the farther away from Ye Zhen the better, but now he has a little more incomprehensible emotions.

Because it was ordered by Ye Zhen himself, no one in the house dared to be unsatisfactory, Shuangcheng stood at the gate of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, seeing many servants coming and going, but still tidy up the house one by one in an orderly manner .

The old butler stood at the door directing for a while, then turned and stepped forward to Shuangcheng Road, "Second Master, it's already packed."

Shuangcheng nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw several magnolias standing tall on the edge of the courtyard -- these were transplanted by Ye Zhen's servants, and they were also the best growing ones in the mansion.He was fascinated by it for a moment, and then heard the old housekeeper continue, "Second Master, if there is nothing else, the servants will go down."

Shuangcheng let out a "hmm" and saw the old housekeeper waving his hands at several servants in the courtyard, and then they all went out of the courtyard together, only to hear a "click" and the lock was unlocked from the outside.

It must have been Ye Zhen's order again, Shuangcheng thought to himself.

Qiu Ming came over and reminded cautiously, "Second Master, your lord ordered, what kind of books are you going to copy?"

In this way, Shuangcheng raised his legs and entered the room, and saw that there were all the utensils inside, clean and tidy, but also had a faint fragrance.A hollow pattern incense table, behind the tall landscape screen, spread a book on it, it is the "Book of Precepts", and next to the book are brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and an incense burner.Looking to the side, there is a row of cabinets, and many books are neatly placed.

Shuangcheng felt very familiar, rubbed his forehead and thought for a while, then remembered that Ye Zhen's study room looked almost the same, except that it lacked a few hints of ink fragrance.

The ten-day confinement caused Shuangcheng to complain endlessly. Now that the gate of the courtyard is locked, he has no courage to commit crimes against the wind, so he can only lie in the room honestly and copy books!

Fortunately, Ye Zhen is not inhumane, and leaves Qiu Ming to accompany Shuangcheng.

When upset, Shuangcheng finally had a companion.Flicking the Langhao brush, Shuangcheng had something to say, "My brother is too stingy, I just said something bad about him, and he punished me like this. Or is it the court official, just like him? ?”

He secretly slandered again in his heart, feeling that Ye Zhen seemed to have two faces.In front of others, he is meticulous and well-behaved, but he will treat his younger brother harshly and make things difficult for him later.It is simply the King of Yama!

Qiu Mingben was standing in front of the table and helping to grind it. When she heard this, she immediately said, "That's not my lord's fault. No one can bear it if it's changed. Second master, you don't just say a few words about your lord's words." No, at that time there were so many servants watching from inside and outside, Second Master, you were so drunk that you said everything you should say and what you shouldn't say. No wonder the adults are angry, it's only right."

Shuangcheng was not happy, and almost dropped the brush in his hand, and said, "Then you mean, I deserve it? Xiao Qiuming, you are so bold now, believe it or not, I will sell you to Montenegro, to the old monster Be a child bride?"

Qiu Ming pursed her lips, and when she looked up, she saw that the ink on the end of the brush was about to drop. He pointed repeatedly, "Second Master, Second Master! Pen tip, pen tip!"

"what?"

Shuangcheng subconsciously picked up the pen, but the ink on the pen tip just fell down, soaking the rice paper spread on the table, and the original few lines of small characters were blurred.

"My words!" Shuangcheng screamed. These were copied with great difficulty in the past few days, but now they are destroyed.

Qiu Ming said with a bitter face, "Second Master, what should I do?"

Shuangcheng threw the brush away, beat his chest angrily, pointed at the sky after a long time, and said angrily, "What should I do? I won't copy it anymore!"

☆, woo

In the study, Ye Zhen sat behind the desk, holding a letter in his hand, glanced at it casually, and put it aside.He picked up the brush and licked the edge of the inkstone, rolled up his sleeves and wrote a few strokes on the white paper.

This is a reply letter to Zhuo Qingcai.

It turned out that there was a reason for Zhuo Qingcai to leave in a hurry that day before he could say goodbye.This reason can be traced back to the root, and it has something to do with Zhuo Qingcai's father, Zhuo Feiran, the owner of Yijian Villa.

Zhuo Feiran is a proper prodigal son, handsome and very affectionate when he was young.Ben was a student of Yijian Villa, because of his amazing skeleton and extraordinary talent, he practiced all kinds of martial arts, which won the respect of the old village owner.The old village owner had no children, but only one daughter named Liang Yin, whom he pampered like pearls and treasures.Later Liang Yin fell in love with Zhuo Feiran when he saw Zhuo Feiran, and then married Zhuo Feiran.

A man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful appearance is a match made in heaven. This is a good match, but the bad thing is that Zhuo Feiran is such a playful person!When the old owner was alive, even if Zhuo Feiran wanted to do something wrong, he didn't have the guts.Later, after the death of the old owner, Yijian Villa also changed its surname from Liang to Zhuo.

None of this is important, the key is that a few days ago Zhuo Zhuangzhu brought back a boy from somewhere, saying that he was his illegitimate son.Who is happy with this matter.Liang Yin quarreled in the villa, looking for death and life.So after Zhuo Qing got the news, he hurried back to Yijian Villa immediately.Ye Zhen didn't know if it was to persuade him to cooperate, but in short, he should deal with the illegitimate son of Master Zhuo.

Ye Zhen made the last stroke, and it happened that Fei Se came in from outside with a stack of official documents, so he put down the brush, folded the white paper in half and put it in the envelope, and then ordered lightly, "Find someone to send it to Yijian Villa as soon as possible." .”

Fei Se carefully arranged the official documents in her arms, took the letter, answered "Yes", then suddenly remembered something, and whispered to Ye Zhen, "My lord, there is news from the palace. His Majesty Risheng took the time to go to the Hongwen Hall, and it seems that he saw that there were many young masters who accompanied him. After asking, he found out that they were all refusing to be sick. Palace." After a pause, he raised his eyes to look at Ye Zhen's face, saw that his expression was calm, and then continued, "I just heard that Shangshu Nie seems to have recommended the second master to the Holy One."

So Ye Zhen frowned slightly, resting his hands lightly on the edge of the table, wondering what he was thinking.

Crimson couldn't help but held her breath, and waited quietly with her head slightly lowered.

It took a while to hear, "Nothing, you go down first."

Fei Se replied "Yes", and bowed down, she was puzzled before leaving, but she wondered what Ye Zhen was thinking.

Before noon, the old housekeeper came to report that Shuangcheng had something to say to Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen listened, and pondered for a moment. Thinking of these days, Shuangcheng was so self-conscious that he had been grounded. He didn't go to visit these days anyway, and Shuangcheng probably felt wronged again.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhen got up, and when he walked over from the desk, the old butler bowed slightly, smiled apologetically, and said, "My lord, the second master has been very honest these days, and the people below also said that the second Grandpa sits behind the screen every day, copying books and practicing calligraphy, and is very diligent, even at night, the lights in the house are still on until midnight."

Ye Zhen knew that the old housekeeper was speaking well for Shuangcheng, so he just walked forward for a while, without saying anything. He frowned slightly when he heard the housekeeper say that Shuangcheng studied every night in the middle of the night.Judging from Ye Zhen's understanding of Shuangcheng, he may not really be reading.

Cheng is as Ye Zhen expected, Shuangcheng is really not studying hard, but he has not finished copying the "Book of Precepts" for a long time. He has always been lazy, and it is easy to lose his mind when copying. Seeing that the ten-day deadline is approaching It turned out that he had to work hard day and night, but every time he copied for a while, he would tilt his head and fall asleep on the side.It was like this every day, Qiu Ming felt sorry for him because he was tired, but there was nothing he could do.

When Ye Zhen walked to the gate of the courtyard, the two servants outside hurriedly saluted. Seeing Ye Zhen nodding, he took out the key again and opened the gate of the courtyard.

Inside the house, Shuangcheng sat cross-legged on a soft cushion, with his arms hanging by his sides, his face pressed against the table, staring at his eyes in a daze, when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside, he blinked, hearing the footsteps being disorderly, As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Ye Zhen standing at the threshold like a jade tree.

"elder brother!"

Shuangcheng was overjoyed, got up quickly, trotted to Ye Zhen, hugged his waist, and said joyfully, "It's been so long, why did you come to see me? Don't you allow me to miss me when you're grounded?" ?”

Ye Zhen's body was slightly shaken by the collision of Shuangcheng, and he quickly stood still, because he was much taller than Shuangcheng, and he could see Shuangcheng's soft black hair when he lowered his head.

Hearing Shuangcheng's seemingly coquettish accusation, Ye Zhen couldn't help but hooked the corners of his lips for a moment, patted Shuangcheng's shoulder with his hand, and said, "Why, in just a few days, Shuangcheng has changed his temper?"

Shuangcheng blushed, and hurriedly crawled out of Ye Zhen's arms. Did he change his temper? It's just that he hasn't seen Ye Zhen for several days, and he misses him in his heart.

"Brother, I know I was wrong, why can't you forgive me once?"

Shuangcheng curled his lips and muttered softly.

Ye Zhen raised his eyebrows and gave a soft "hmm".

Shuangcheng changed the subject again, "Brother, I have finished copying the "Book of Precepts", can you see if you can relieve my restraint?"

Ye Zhen thought that today was already the tenth day, but it hadn't passed yet. Since it was a penalty, he naturally couldn't let it go easily, so he said, "Tomorrow, I promise you to go out of the house for a visit."

"Really? Thank you brother!"

Shuangcheng jumped so high that he almost hit Ye Zhen's chin, he hesitated again, licked his face and smiled, but thought in his heart, where should we go to play tomorrow.

After a while, Ye Zhen asked someone to pass the meal.

Shuangcheng was happy in his heart, and his face was full of smiles. Seeing that the table was full of his favorite dishes, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Seeing Ye Zhen, he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, and suddenly remembered what Fei Se said, and thought a lot for a while.With the temperament of Shuangcheng, it is really not suitable to be the companions of the princes. Besides, the palace walls are deep and there are many people. It is not convenient for Ye Zhen to walk around in the palace at will.

But Shuangcheng didn't know what Ye Zhen was thinking, so he shoveled rice into his mouth, and served Ye Zhen a bowl of soup very flatteringly, and said with a smile, "Brother, drink the soup."

In this way, Ye Zhen came back to his senses, seeing the two playful forehead hairs on Shuangcheng's cheeks, and the stars hidden in his eyes, he couldn't help but chuckled twice, and the atmosphere was happy for a while.

☆, the rhythm of death

On the second day, Shuangcheng stood at the gate of the mansion and saw Ye Zhen go out in person. Seeing that the tail of the sedan chair had disappeared at the corner of the street, he rejoiced and walked out of the mansion swaggeringly.This time he didn't even bring autumn tea.

Shuangcheng didn't go out to wander around the house for a while, and he just felt that everything was fresh. He saw that the candy figurines sold by the small merchants were good, so he bought them.Seeing that the candied haws stuck on the grass handles were good, he spent money to buy candied haws.He ate and strolled all the way, and when he came across a brothel, he stopped for a moment, thought and thought, stretched his toes, and finally changed direction.

In some respects, the Twins are well-aware.For example: follow Ye Zhen.

In fact, Shuangcheng often slanders in private, thinking that Ye Zhen is sometimes very unreasonable.For example, when he went to the brothel some time ago, Ye Zhen could go by himself, but Shuangcheng couldn't.

For another example, Ye Zhen only likes to read, and he often urges Shuangcheng to read, which is a headache, because he always hates reading.

Shuangcheng slandered all the way, walked into a restaurant as soon as he lifted his feet, and sat in an inconspicuous seat at random, and immediately the waiter came up to say hello, "My lord, what would you like to drink?"

Shuangcheng thought about it, and felt that Ye Zhen had finally let him out, and he couldn't drink to make him angry, so he ordered some small dishes at random, and sat and waited.

The waiter in the shop responded with a smile, and quickly turned around and came back. After putting the dishes on the table one by one, he said, "Guest officer, please take your time."

At this time, I don't know what happened upstairs, and there was a lot of noise. Many people downstairs stopped their chopsticks and looked ahead curiously. The shop waiter was also confused, and stood on tiptoe to look upstairs.

A lot of people came down, the footsteps were messy, Shuangcheng was throwing a peanut into his mouth, out of the corner of his eye, he saw several men in black clothes on the stairs, the leader was a man in his twenties, dressed in a Gorgeous red, the face is also extremely handsome.He pinched the orchid fingers, pointed at a woman downstairs suddenly and said in a sharp voice, "Come on, slap this bitch's mouth, I'll see if she dares to laugh."

It turned out that this man was an actor, just now when he was eating wine upstairs, he heard the woman downstairs pointing at his ear.The actor had a very bad temper, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to go and arrest her, and immediately several men grabbed the woman and swung their arms round to beat her.

The woman was just a girl in her teens, and she had never seen anything in the world. She was crying and struggling to call for help, but none of the people around her dared to go up.

The shop clerk shook his head and sighed, "It's not good to offend anyone, but it's wrong to offend someone who shouldn't be offended, alas!"

When Shuangcheng heard this, he frowned, and saw that both sides of the woman's cheeks were red and swollen, her mouth was dripping with blood, and even her crying became quieter, but the actor just watched coldly, and did not let her go at all. the meaning of.

He thought for a while, and felt that it was necessary to go to the road to meet the injustice and yell. He just got up when he heard the actor's subordinate say, "My lord, just hit it a few times and let it go, don't make things worse."

The actor frowned when he heard this, and snorted coldly, "Oh, what are you afraid of, just hit me, I'll be responsible for what happens!"

Everyone saw the woman thrown on the ground like a sandbag, kicked and kicked, it was really pitiful.

Shuangcheng couldn't help cursing in a low voice, and slammed the cup in his hand in that direction. The actor screamed, glanced coldly, and immediately walked over with a man in a menacing manner.

Seeing their menacing approach, the waiter in the shop shrank back holding the tray, and repeatedly reminded Shuangcheng in a low voice, "Guest officer, hurry up, hurry up, run quickly, people are coming!"

The actor saw that Shuangcheng was only a boy in his teens, so he sneered for a while, "A young boy, how dare he follow others' heroes to save the beauty? Get down on your knees and say a few words to Grandpa, maybe I can forgive you today!" "

Shuangcheng squinted his eyes and smiled, crossing his arms, "At the foot of the world, you are quite proud of an actor domineering here. With your shabby appearance, I would not like it if you call me grandpa instead." .”

The actor's eyes turned cold, "Then don't blame me for being rude!"

Shuangcheng raised his head and drank the tea in the cup, stood up suddenly, walked to the actor, without saying a word, raised his leg and kicked him.The actor was unprepared, his foot was kicked on the ground, gasping for breath in pain, even his facial features were deformed, he pointed at Shuangcheng and cursed, "Where did the bastard come from, come here! Hit me!"

"Let your great-grandfather teach you a lesson today!"

Shuangcheng snorted coldly, picked up a bench casually, and started fighting with those few people.

Because Shuangcheng often fights in groups anyway, and didn't suffer any disadvantages for a while, when he touched the actor, he stepped on his face a few times, and the commotion became louder, and the guests in the restaurant backed away again and again, Pointing at the few people fighting on the field.

..............................

In Ye Mansion's study room, sandalwood scented, and Shuangcheng once again stood in the middle of the study room with his head down: Listen to the training.

And Ye Zhen was standing in front of the desk with his hands behind his back, watching him quietly.

Here's the thing:

This Ye Zhen had just come to the morning court, and was greeting with a few courtiers. Before he left the hall, he heard news from the palace that Wang Deyi, the most favored actor beside the eldest princess, was beaten up in a restaurant. , and now the eldest princess is furious, looking around for the assailant.

In fact, when it comes to this actor Wang Deyi, he has a lot of background.Wang Deyi is young, but also very clever, singing Qin opera.Ever since the son-in-law of the eldest princess' mansion passed away, the Holy Majesty couldn't choose a candidate for a while. The eldest princess was very bored in the princess' mansion all day long.

Anyway, Wang Deyi is an actor, and the eldest princess only regards him as a plaything.
