He traveled all night and stayed at a mountain temple in the middle of the night. When he got up in the morning, he returned with some copper coins and hired an ox cart on the way back.
It was almost noon when we approached home. The ox-cart was moving forward slowly, its bells ringing constantly. Ye Qing sat in the back, squinting his eyes and taking a nap to cultivate his spirit.
Although the Taoism appears in this world, it does not appear in the world often, and due to feeding reasons, horses are still in short supply, so the imperial court promulgated laws on food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
Citizens are not allowed to wear silk, ride horses, and there are specific regulations for officials' use of cars.
Although these laws are relatively loose, and many young men from aristocratic families travel on horseback, when they reach the official level, they are more serious. Even county magistrates usually travel by ox cart.
It's not that the county magistrate couldn't get horses, but it was too conspicuous and inconsistent with his political performance. The most important thing was the rules set by the court and the heaven behind it.
Common people basically use bullock carts. Although they move slowly, they are okay. Now Ye Qing is sitting on this!
From a distance, I can see rows of field ridges, and a large pond in the distance. The left and right sides of the pond are covered with elm and mulberry trees. This stretch of several hectares of fields stretches for a mile.
Ye Qing looked down from the oxcart. This was the land in his name. He really didn't know when he would be able to truly take it into his own hands.
After being stunned for a moment, he paid the money and walked back to avoid anyone gossiping. He arrived at the Ye Mansion. The Ye Mansion was a wealthy family. Six or seven guests were sitting in the concierge hall drinking tea and chatting. Ye Qing looked at it and walked straight out of the side door.
Go in and go back through several corridors.
Unexpectedly, the two disciples saw him from a distance. When they saw Ye Qing entering the door in a hurry, their eyes lit up and one of them hurriedly ran out.
Ye Qing entered the door and passed a waterside pavilion in the garden. He saw a pavilion with stone tables and bamboo chairs in the distance. More than a dozen tribesmen were chatting and laughing. The breeze passed by and he felt refreshed. Unfortunately, this was because he had a reputation within the tribe, or
The treatment of those in charge is far beyond what I can do now.
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 opened the door and came in, then turned around and closed the door.
At this moment, a lazy voice came from behind: "Brother, where have you been?"
Ye Qing was horrified and turned around to see Young Master Pianpianjia surrounded by several people. It was Ye Sheng.
Looking again, I noticed Qianqian running out of the room. Seeing that her expression was angry but not dark, and her clothes were intact, I breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
After all, he is a member of the clan, and he has not dared to touch the women in his house without even breaking out, but he is also afraid that if something happens, it will be difficult to recover the losses. As for the battle in front of him, it is just childish.
When a great calamity comes and there are strong winds and heavy rains, what does this scene mean?
"I've met Brother Sheng. It's rare for me to come here. I wonder if I can give you any advice?" Ye Qing bowed.
Ye Sheng looked up and down, feeling unhappy. In terms of seniority, Ye Qing's family was the seventh branch of his great-grandfather, but at this time, it was just a branch. This calm and indifferent attitude felt like a thorn in his heart.
, then he exhaled and said: "I don't dare to ask for advice, but my brother usually pretends to be serious, but he dares to go out at night without reporting. I admire him very much, and hereby report it to the clan. Father ordered you to go and explain...
What do you think, come and lie down with me!"
Behind him, Wu Tiezi suddenly puffed up his chest, glanced around proudly, and finally sneered at Ye Qing.
It turned out that he was being watched by this guy. Ye Qing understood it instantly and pressed the small copper cup in his arms, thinking that this thing should not be noticed by others at this time.
I thought about the clan rules again. The Ye clan's rules are very strict. Minors are crowned, and they have no fame and are not allowed to go out at will. This is a clan rule that restricts the children of the clan from being frivolous. Now when I use it to speak, it is justified.
Ye Qing glanced coldly, straightened his clothes, rolled up his sleeves and said: "Since my second uncle summoned me, I'm going to go here. It's not etiquette for me to be so busy. It's not etiquette for me to take a shower and change my clothes, so I'm going to make amends...my brother said this
right?"
The servants looked at each other and looked at Ye Sheng. Ye Sheng was startled, but he couldn't explain what was wrong.
Seeing this, Ye Qing smiled slightly and squeezed through the crowd: "Qianqian, why don't you boil water for me!"
Qianqian quickly followed, and the two of them entered the house and closed the door, leaving a bunch of people staring outside.
When Ye Sheng saw it, he was furious, but he laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, I'll go to the clan hall later to see what else you have to say!"
Inside, Ye Qing strode into the inner room, threw away the book basket, took off his clothes, and jumped into the bathtub.
Qianqian couldn't care less and screamed: "Master, the water has become cold!"
"Don't worry about it, how dare I make my second uncle wait for an hour?" Ye Qing said with a wry smile, casually took off the copper cup and handed it to Qianqian: "String it on a string for me, you can wear it close to your body, don't
Let people discover it!”
"Yes! This cup..." Qianqian was startled and took the copper cup. Without asking any questions, she thought about it and tied it with a red rope in the corner hole of the cup. After leaving it for a few minutes, it disappeared and she didn't know.
She hides there.
At this time, Ye Qing was completely naked, and Qianqian blushed a little. She helped with the washing, but asked about business: "Does the young master have anything else to arrange?"
"Yes..." Ye Qing leaned back, lying in the cold water, and said slowly: "This matter has been caught accurately, and I really can't refute it."
"But this is a trivial matter. Even if it is dealt with severely, there is no risk to one's life. He doesn't even know how to use a board. My second uncle doesn't have the power, nor the courage or viciousness."
"Honestly speaking, my second uncle is fairly fair in his dealings. It's just that when it comes to my son's future, I have to do it as a last resort."
"As for alarming the clan leader, I don't have the weight...so no matter what the rumors say, you don't have to panic, just do things as usual!"
Qianqian's reaction was very fast, and her eyes turned red immediately: "Will he be locked up?"
"Haha... Otherwise, how can we do what they want?" Ye Qing smiled coldly, looked at Qianqian, and said: "But it may not be a formal detention, I'm afraid it is house arrest. As long as the movement is restricted, you will miss this
No matter how young you try, the result will be the same!"
Qianqian just shook her head, her palm-sized face turned red: "Master, what did you do wrong? Why did they do this? This is a child test!"
Ye Qing smiled bitterly: "If you want to inflict a crime, why bother without words... If you want to find an excuse, you can't find any excuse. Family law, clan rules, and etiquette are all in the hands of those who set the rules... Besides, I did commit the crime.
Break the clan rules!"
Qianqian helped him wash and stared at Ye Qing: "Master, you will definitely be promising in the future and you can set the rules."
"You have more confidence than me..." Ye Qing was startled and laughed. Only after several lives did he know how difficult it is to set rules!
But this is indeed the way of a man.
A moment later, on the wide garden road, a large group of people surrounded, or rather escorted, Ye Qing to the manor lobby.
Because Ye Zifan has been in charge of the rules in the clan for a long time and is serious and meticulous, he was called the Forbidden Hall by his juniors.
"Report——" far outside the hall, the servant shouted loudly.
Ye Zifan was drinking tea when he heard a loud announcement from outside. He couldn't help but feel slightly angry and ordered: "It's so noisy! Bring it in!"
The servant came in and saw Ye Zifan's stern expression. He couldn't help but soften his legs and knelt down and said, "Third Master, Young Master Ye Qing has arrived."
"Let him come up!" Ye Zifan sat still and put the teacup on the table.
Then they saw Ye Qing straightening his clothes in front of the hall, walking in with his head held high, and bowed deeply: "Qing, I have met my uncle, what is the purpose of my uncle's summons?"
Ye Zifan looked up and down, feeling slightly shuddering, but not eager to take offense. He smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a day, and my good nephew is even more magnanimous. But what happy event has happened to him?"
Ye Qingtong was slightly shuddering in his heart: "Thank you uncle for your concern. I just understand it through reading."
Ye Zifan just asked casually, without going into details, and turned to the topic: "It is a good thing to read more, know loyalty, know filial piety, know kindness and know how to repay...Have you thought about what your uncle said yesterday?"
Do you want to be polite first and then fight?
Ye Qing's heart was clear, he looked at his uncle, and slowly refused, saying: "Heaven and earth, Tao, monarch, dear, and master, these are the key points of the Five Cardinal Principles. Fame comes from the Tao, it is sent to the court, and it is based on the will of the parents. This cannot be denied.
also."
"As for the kindness between the clan and my uncle, Qing still said this - a drop of kindness will be repaid by a spring of water one day." When saying this, Ye Qing bowed deeply with a sincere expression.
There is no need to doubt the promise and ability of a reborn person. As long as the person nods, it won't take long to get rich rewards.
Reading is the path to enlightenment. Hearing the weight of these words, Ye Zifan's heart moved inexplicably. He looked up and down and saw that this nephew was wearing a white coat and even the boots on his feet were half-worn, but he had a kind of looking forward to him, and he was cool and unrestrained.
The calm posture makes people forget the ordinary things at first sight.
This kid is not just a thing in the pool, his talent is really great, if he can give his full support...
"Father!" At this moment, Ye Sheng saw something was wrong and shouted urgently, instantly breaking the atmosphere created by Ye Qing.
Ye Zifan was stunned, turned the tea cup, looked at his youngest son's anxious expression, and sighed secretly: "That's it!"
He said calmly: "My good nephew is really ambitious. This is the right thing to do. Let's just let this matter go. I will not force you to do anything..."
Hearing these cold words, Ye Qing bowed and his heart felt cold.
Ye Sheng looked at his father in surprise and was about to speak when he heard his father say something again.
"It's just that you are under the age of 18 and don't abide by the clan rules. You don't report to the clan when you go out at night. According to the clan rules, you are banned for three months..." Ye Zifan gently used the lid of the cup to scrape the tea leaves, and his voice was as calm as water:
"The state has national laws, and every family has its own rules... Do you accept it or not?"
Ye Sheng turned from surprise to joy and looked at Ye Qing with evil intentions. He was grounded for three months and even the boy test passed.
Ye Qing secretly sighed, it was because of his lack of luck that he could avoid this calamity. The nature of this matter is still small now. If he confronts him head-on, he would be confronting the entire Ye Clan, and then he will be called Huihui.
Ye Qing calmed down and smiled slightly: "This is natural, Qing is willing to follow it!"
Zifan paused in turning the lid of the cup. This answer made him a little surprised and a little shocked. He glanced at Ye Qing again, feeling empty in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little regret.
Finally, he took a sip of tea and told the housekeeper: "Deacon Zhang, take Young Master Ying down and place him in Room 3 of the back room to study. There must be no slightest care in terms of treatment. I will personally check it out!"
