Chapter 28：

The Liyuan is the courtyard where Princess Anhezhao Li lived, and there are pear trees all over the courtyard. Decades of time have passed, and the young trees of that year have grown into sparse branches and leaves.

A tall middle-aged man stood under a pear tree, and the white petals fell on his hair like snowflakes. He looked at the falling flowers with his hands behind his back, his handsome face was full of nostalgia.

Hearing slight footsteps, he knew who it was without turning his head. The Liyuan is a forbidden area of ​​the Princess Mansion, and the only people who can come in and out at will are their father and son.

"Every year the pear blossoms bloom, and every year people are away. If your mother is still there, it must be very gratifying to see you growing up and standing alone."

Wen Yu was silent, looking at the branches of the pear tree.

The flowers bloom better than the snow, and they are very luxuriant.

I heard that these pear trees were planted by my mother herself. When my mother was there, the flowers were only in bloom, but the fruits were not ripe. But this year, there are clusters of flowers and fruitful fruits, but it is a pity that the tree planters have no chance to see them.

He has never seen his mother, who has been gone for many years, but seems to have always been there. My uncle often mentioned it, and my father never forgot.

Everyone said that his mother An and the eldest princess were extremely scheming and cunning. In the mouth of the uncle, the mother is a good sister who is unparalleled in the world, and in the memory of the father, she is a very respectable and strange woman.

In his heart, his mother was undoubtedly the most powerful and intelligent woman in the world.

The middle-aged man turned around slowly, heroic and dignified, it was Wen Yu's father, Wen Hua. Wen Hua looked at his son who was taller than him, and it seemed that there was that magnificent woman in front of him.

This son is like his mother, and he was born very well.

If his mother was still there, he would be extremely happy.

"Your mother is most worried about you. You are not too young, you should marry a wife and have children, and comfort her spirit in heaven."

Wen Hua seldom interfered with his son's affairs. His Majesty raised his son since he was a child, and he was not close to his father. As soon as the son responds to the matter, it is not his turn to interfere at all, and His Majesty will make the decision. If it weren't for the fact that the relationship between father and son has eased a lot in recent months, and His Majesty has not mentioned marriage for a long time, he would not say such things.

When Wen Yu heard this, a face suddenly appeared in his mind.

Extremely gorgeous, but flattering and hypocritical.

He always thought that if it wasn't for an extraordinary woman like his mother, he wouldn't let him take a second look. However, he never thought that he would meet such a brazen and fearless woman after rebirth.

I heard that the mother is the most transparent, if she is still here, what kind of daughter-in-law would she like? That little girl talks about people when she sees people, she talks nonsense when she sees ghosts, her mouth is full of honey, and she is the best at making others happy.

What was he thinking about?

What about that little girl, it has nothing to do with him!

Seeing that he was silent, Wen Hua's heart moved slightly.

Is it true that Yu'er really doesn't hate that Miss Ye as rumored outside? I heard that the girl said in public that she would not be a concubine, but she was quite proud. It's a pity that the status is too low, even if Yu'er likes it, His Majesty probably won't agree. Rather than making the girl feel sad, it would be better to cut off her thoughts earlier.

"I've often heard Xueniang mention that Miss Ye recently. If you really have no intentions of her, it's better to tell her face to face, so as not to worry people."

"I don't care how she is."

Wen Hua couldn't tell if he was disappointed or relieved. With Yu'er's temperament, if she really relied on him, she might not be able to get married in this life. His Majesty wanted to propose marriage several times, but was rejected by Yu'er. He doesn't like the daughter of a military general, and he doesn't want a lady from a family. What kind of woman does he want to find?

Wen Yu recalled that when his uncle passed away in his previous life, he said that his life was consummated. She was protected by her eldest sister when she was young, and she was able to grow up and become emperor smoothly. When he was an emperor, he was conscientious and conscientious. Although he was not a wise emperor through the ages, he was worthy of the elders of the country. The most regrettable thing is not being able to see him get married and have children, and he can't explain to his mother under Huang Quan.

And the father... The father and son have been strangers for many years, and they have never had such a conversation before. In the past few months, I have spoken more to my father than in my previous life combined.

It's just that my father didn't know that that cunning little liar didn't really like him. Clearly wanting to take advantage of his position, that's why he pretended to be so affectionate.

It's ridiculous that the world can't see clearly, and they are all deceived by her lies.

It's easy to tell a lie, but hard to tell a lie.

He wanted to see how that little liar would end up in the future.

A piece of pear blossom fluttered on his shoulder, he saw it, but didn't reach out to brush it away.

When he was about to return to his own courtyard, a dark guard appeared to report.

He listened quietly with a cold face. After the hidden guard left, he called the guards and gave them such instructions. After a while, a box was brought in.

The box is intricately carved, and the sandalwood is deep.

The golden lock is firmly guarded, and it will be opened as soon as it is hit.

It is full of scattered copper coins, and the copper color is fresh.

The hand that held the knife all year round held a copper coin and passed it through the rope. Copper coins are strung together until one hundred coins are tied together.

The hourglass leaked down little by little, the sky outside was getting dark, and the house was full of lights.

The moon rises and the stars rise, the shadows of the treetops.

Copper coins were picked up one by one and strung together one by one. The place where the money strings are stacked is flat at first, then raised, and finally looks like a hill.

Until the bottom of the box, the sky loomed.

Wen Yu looked at the pile of strings of money, his eyes darkened.

This worldly happiness is really a bit evil. It seems that the woman with deep scheming and rebirth from ghosts is obviously the most humble, but she is stunned to make people look at her differently.

He got up and stood up.

Brocade clothes, jade belts and girdles, from the time I was a child, there is no place that is not expensive. No one knew that this honorable county prince had counted coppers all night for the first time ever.

The guards obeyed the order to come in and sealed the pile of money strings in a box. Just as they were about to carry the box away, they heard their master tell them to leave.

The prince of the county, who has never been very happy, hesitated for a box of copper coins?

Weird.

…

The east is about to dawn, and the morning light is faint.

There are many palaces and gates, and hundreds of officials are waiting for the court.

A group of courtiers, old or young, some talked in twos and threes, and some were serious and alone. You can see the whole picture at a glance, from which you can see who is with whom, who is attached to whom, who is a pure minister and who is a fool.

The spring is cold and the wind is rustling. Some old courtiers were not cold enough, and their sleeves were covered with old faces. Even the younger ones stomp their feet from time to time.

Only the two people on the farthest side are like pine, bamboo and solid stones, straight and not falling down.

Early in the morning, the smile on Song Jinyuan's face never stopped. It is not difficult to see that he is in a very good mood. Even though his smile looked creepy to others, Wen Yu knew that he was really happy.

"Ayu, you have to take a look at the court later. You are upright for the country and the people, and you have a clear and generous heart. You say that Miss Ye can really tell the truth. Isn't this the way I usually serve as an official. Are you I don’t know, when the pennant was delivered, the gongs and drums cleared the way, and the firecrackers blew, and the common people expressed their feelings and said that I deserve these two words.”

What Song Jinyuan was talking about was yesterday when Ye Ping sent someone to deliver the pennant. She didn't show up, but spent money to invite some people to support the scene. There were gongs and drums and firecrackers, and some childcare was arranged to increase the momentum.

In the history of the prosperous dynasty, it was the first time that people sent silk banners to the government.

Such a strange event will naturally attract attention.

Song Jinyuan was really surprised when the pennant was delivered. After being surprised, I felt that my face was bright. After all, if being an official is not profitable, I must also hope to have a good reputation.

It's him who is upright and has a breeze in his sleeves.

For the country and the people, he is also a man of great virtue.

That girl Ye speaks really nicely.

"Miss Ye really has a heart, and that word is not bad."

He would have been willing to meet such a capable girl.

Wen Chengtian really doesn't know what to do.

"It's just a pennant, why is it so?"

"What is a pennant is just a public opinion."

"It's just one person's opinion, how can it be called public opinion?"

"Ayu, aren't you jealous of me?" Song Jinyuan seemed to have discovered something serious, and Wen Chengtian really became more and more stingy. Last time he was just joking, and this kid cursed him for cutting off his children and grandchildren. Now that Miss Ye gave him a pennant, this kid must be unhappy again.

he jealous?

How can it be!

"You have the public opinion, I have the grace, why should I be jealous of you."

Not to mention jealousy.

They have known each other for many years, and Song Jinyuan seems to have never seen his friend being interested in something, anyone, or reward, why did he suddenly mention this reward?

"You used the head of the thief to lure the enemy into the urn this time, and wiped out the remnants of the Red Scarf Army in one fell swoop. You have made a remarkable contribution, and His Majesty will reward you. But when do you care about these things?"

"Worldly things are not necessarily useless."

Song Jinyuan was surprised, this is really a change of sex.

When the time came, all the ministers filed in.

Above the main hall, His Majesty did not hesitate to praise and affirm his own nephew, publicly proclaimed Jin Wenyu as the inspector of Tongtiantai, and bestowed Yulong Saber.

This knife is of extraordinary significance, and His Majesty ordered someone to make it early.

Don't ask where the treacherous evils come from, the pear blossoms of the righteous way are blooming everywhere.

Wen Yu led the decree and took the knife.

Song Jinyuan saw the pattern on the scabbard, and understood why Wen Yu cared about this reward. The carved dragon scales look like blossoming pear blossoms, implying the names of An and the eldest princess.

But seeing that Wen Yu has been holding the knife tightly, he still does not pretend to be someone else's hand after the next court. He suddenly felt emotional, the indifferent and honorable county prince, unexpectedly, also has an unknown softness.

Wen Yu suddenly flashed the knife, which startled him.

"Wen Chengtian, what are you doing!"

"How is this knife compared to your pennant?"

Song Jinyuan stammered: "You...you don't mean to exchange my pennant with a knife?"

"No need." Wen Yu put away the knife and looked towards the south of the city. "I think that Miss Ye will be so happy for me when she hears that I have been rewarded with this knife."

Song Jinyuan was stunned.

Is this the Wen Chengtian he knew?

"Ayu, don't you care about Miss Ye?"

Wen Yu frowned, covering the undercurrents in his eyes.

Song Jinyuan suddenly felt something different. He found that his friend seemed to be more tolerant and more humane.

Is the iron tree really going to bloom?

…

Ye house.

Mother Ye held a stick in one hand and straightened her granddaughter's posture with the other, and kept talking about the things to pay attention to when practicing and the skills when confronting others.

Ye Ping listened carefully and acted seriously.

Compared with Ye Ting's many years of experience, her movements seem to be much more difficult.

The sun is shining and spring is in full bloom.

The two sisters of the Ye family practiced martial arts with their grandmother, Ye Lian was studying in the house, and Ye Zheng was sitting on a small stool under the peach tree, cheering for the eldest sister and the second sister while eating snacks.

Mrs. Ye came out several times, sighed and sighed once when she saw her.

The girl from other people's family played piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and red embroidery, and her daughter shouted and killed. The two sons are obedient, one is studying and the other is meditating, how can two daughters be so different from ordinary people.

The mother-in-law is used to it, so she can't say anything. Furthermore, Pingniang was able to escape last time because she was honored by her martial arts practice. She was tangled up and down, and she simply couldn't see it.

Now she only hopes that the Wang family will not pursue the matter, and that they will be safe.

As the sun was getting higher and higher, Mother Ye was afraid that her two granddaughters would be tired in the sun, so she asked them to quit their work.

When Ye Ping was pressing her legs under the eaves, she heard the sound of reading from her older brother, and looked at her younger brother who was counting ants under the peach tree, feeling a little anxious.

The two younger brothers are not low in talent and cannot be delayed.

There has been no news from my father, and I don't know if I have found a suitable wife? If it weren't for this kind of thing, she wouldn't be able to stand out, she would have gone all over the street to find a wife for them.

"Big girl, big girl." Sanxi called her.

Since Ye Ting came back, Sanxi no longer called her a young lady in private, but called her a young lady in order not to be called a fool.

Sanxi came back from the outside, her fat face was flushed, she was obviously trotting all the way.

"Girl, this servant just heard someone talking about King Wen's award today at the entrance of the alley."

Ye Ping frowned, when did they have such good news in Nancheng? It stands to reason that what happened in the court would not reach them until tomorrow at the earliest.

"Oh, that's a good thing."

"My servant heard people say that Prince Wen made great contributions, was promoted to inspector of Tongtiantai, and was rewarded with a Shangfang treasured sword. What is it called... what kind of sword."

Ye Ping stopped pressing her legs and her body froze.

"What did you say?"

Seeing her girl's complexion suddenly changed, Sanxi thought she had said something wrong, and she thought the girl would want to hear about King Wen.

"Slaves... Slaves also heard people say that Prince Wen made a contribution..."

"That's not it."

"...Huh? He was even rewarded."

"You said just now that he became the inspector of Tongtiantai, and was rewarded with a Shangfang sword. That sword...is it called Yulongdao?"

"It seems to be called this name. Miss, you are really amazing, didn't you know it a long time ago?"

No, she ran back to report the news as soon as she heard the news. When did the eldest girl know about it?

Suddenly, Ye Ping understood many things.

She regretted a little, regretted provoking that person in the first place. Now she is like a trapped animal, falling into the pit she dug for herself, unable to escape or break free.

This land is like a circle, and this day is like a prison. The world is so big that there is no place for her to escape, even if she can break through everything fearlessly, what will the relatives around her do?

Yiran's small house has also become a cage, trapping their family.

Just now Sanxi was in a hurry to report to his daughter that the door was not closed securely. For Ye Ping at this time, the outside of the two-finger-wide door gap was dangerous for them.

Suddenly her eyes froze, because she inadvertently saw a person who could not appear here at all. The figure of that person is lonely and cold, like a ghost entering a land of no one.

Her heart was beating like a drum, and even though she was separated by a door, she was still scared out of her wits. What was even more frightening was that the man outside suddenly looked over, his indifferent eyes seemed to see through everything, as if everything was under his control.

With a cold face, he looked at all living beings.

Like a monster!

Ye Ping felt her whole body was icy cold, like falling into an ice cave.

Behead the thief's head, enter Tongtiantai with extraordinary achievements, and then bestow the Yulong Saber. According to the plot, the Yulong Saber, which cuts **** and eliminates evil, never came out a few days ago. So the King Wen sent the knife overnight, not as a warning and threat as she thought, but as a temptation.

Because he is reborn!
