The streets are bustling with people, and walking around in the middle of the night is quite boring and uninteresting.
At least I could talk a few words in the small courtyard. It was boring to wander around like a headless fly now, and I didn't want to go all the way to the capital, which was naturally more lively. , can only go back the same way.
It happened to be a coincidence that when I left at midnight, a woman in a goose-yellow robe came to visit me. When I came back, it was not long after the woman left. As if I had missed him at first, one went east and the other west, walking away from each other.
When he returned to the small courtyard in the middle of the night, he was naturally the first to notice someone coming to the door. According to the previous time, Ye Xiayou, who had a very regular schedule, should have gone to bed long ago. Now he was not only drinking in the hall, but also making a pot of tea.
Pairs of bowls and chopsticks, pairs of cups.
He just thought it was another maidservant who came down from the mountain, so he didn't pay much attention to it in the middle of the night.
Speaking of Ye Xie You's status at home, more than a hundred people in the house kept silent about him, especially Prince De who sometimes looked at his face. Before the next heir was chosen at night, he was already regarded as a mere heir, both secretly and openly. Except for a few family heads who are second in line to the patron king, the name of the second young lady of the Ye family has never been taken lightly.
It's just that he follows the rules, and he has slapped a few disobedient servants in public, but his reputation in private is not that good.
Compared with the other young masters and ladies who have not been in the house often since childhood, including Ye Xiayou who often goes out in the middle of the night, it is Ye Xiayou who spends the longest time with those servants.
It is also because I have been influenced by my mother since I was a child. I listen to my mother's teachings and treat them with a normal heart. I usually do not deliberately talk about the difference between superiority and inferiority with these people. On the contrary, I am very close to everyone, especially in private. There was nothing to do, and just in time for the New Year, she relied on her inherited drinking capacity to compete with male servants, and relied on her eloquent tongue to fool the maid into falling in love with her two younger brothers. These were all things that the second young lady of the Ye family could do. Things done.
On the day and night after coming down from the mountain, not to mention three meals a day, there was no need to worry about it. The frontman on the mountain who watched the siblings grow up, and Zhu Ziqing, who was usually only responsible for eating at nightfall, secretly sent the servants to hurry up. He was sent around the entire capital to this house that not many people knew about - he was afraid of being blamed for the purchase at first, and Ye Xieyou also tricked him into paying for it in the middle of the night. In the end, even the name on the house deed belonged to his servant. name.
Because of this, the servants in the mansion are very close to their second young lady, who has an unpredictable temper but is also extremely easy to talk to. At least in the middle of the night, they have seen their omnipotent and omniscient second sister and their eldest daughter more than once. Like the old men, they rowed fists and drank wine in a very heroic manner.
Ye Sangeng, who was unwilling to be the only one, never spoke, but Ye Xiayou blinked her clear eyes and said narrowly: "Who do you think is here?"
Too lazy to show off to Ye Xie and taking the initiative to clean up the mess left by the strange visitor, Ye San said angrily: "It won't be the old man anyway."
Ye Xiayou's slightly red face stiffened slightly after being slightly drunk, and then he rolled his eyes wide, "Is it funny?"
Only then did he notice that it was not the dishes in the house. He was not shy about midnight. He picked up the two remaining pieces of crystal sheep cake and stuffed them into his mouth. He turned over the coarse porcelain plate while chewing. The square red mark marked the name of the restaurant. .
Qu Xiucai.
This is a famous restaurant in the capital and border areas, no less than the Jianglou on Quchi Lake and Qizhou. In particular, the mutton without a trace of fishy smell in the mouth is still as chewy and chewy as before. This is Qu Xiucai's family. It’s a living sign. After opening the store for decades, I haven’t seen anyone learn from it secretly.
A little greedy, he picked up the wine bottle on the table, took a sip of the old wine that made him famous in the capital, and asked casually: "Who is here?"
"Leave it blank."
I barely managed to spit out a sip of wine, and coughed again and again in the middle of the night.
Ignoring her brother's embarrassment, Ye Xiayou continued: "She said she would come to see you tomorrow."
He didn't even want to touch these dishes anymore, and Ye San seemed to avoid them. He threw them on the table casually, clapped his hands when he was done, and looked at Ye Xia, who was still pouring and drinking by himself, and said angrily: " I've told you eight hundred times not to get involved with Su Liubai, can you save some face for me?"
The old god Ye Hao was there, and he didn't use dishes to drink wine. Although his cheeks were slightly red, his eyes were getting clearer, and he was obviously very sober. Qu Xiucai, who was drinking tea and drinking it, was no better than the Penglai wine sent to the court as tribute, and said: "Why? , having sex after drinking sober up and falling out?"
"Go, go, go to the other side." Obviously, he was a little disdainful of this sentence, and even if he refuted it, he didn't have much confidence, "You are talking nonsense, I will leave."
Ye Xiayou didn't take the threat of midnight to heart, and still said with a meaningful smile: "I don't know who was abandoned by the beauty, and even ignored his serious wife, ran out to drink, and... Follow the little girl..."
"shut up."
The exasperation in the middle of the night did not have any impact on Ye Xiayou. A pair of eyes blinked playfully. The woman who must have been slightly drunk laughed and said: "A man can do what he dares but not do."
In the middle of the night, I gritted my teeth, but in the end I dared not speak out in anger.
Ye Xia'er's eyebrows were as crescent-shaped as he liked to see his younger brother being embarrassed, and he smiled brightly, "I told you in Liu Bai that I will pack up and move in together tomorrow, so you have to be prepared."
Ye San Geng really couldn't understand how her second sister could be so arrogant in the current situation. She was so angry that Ye San Geng took a few deep breaths and went to the yard alone. .
Naturally, he knew that what he said just now would not really make his brother angry. He ignored the impetuous late night watcher and continued to laugh and cry while sipping the bottle of sake.
If you have nothing to worry about, every day is a good time.
…
…
The construction of the capital was largely planned according to military towns, and it is now considered the most important place in Gyeonggi Province after the capital. However, its population and scale have completely deviated from what Emperor Wu Jian originally spent huge sums of money on in four years without hesitation in manpower and material resources. It was built with the original intention of being able to station 150,000 troops.
No matter how it is divided and developed, this capital city with over 50,000 troops still has a county system, just like the two counties of Wanshi and Tai'an in the capital, which are also under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture.
Therefore, when I saw two Zaoyi government officials from Jingzhao Mansion appearing in Xinghua Lane early in the morning, I was not at all curious at midnight. What I was curious about was that it was Mo Ying that these government officials took away.
Naturally, the thought of the green tea that I overheard last night came to my mind. I would not doubt that one of the other three people would inform the government of Yongzhou Liuhou and instigate the officials of the DPRK to engage in business, which was profitable and mercenary. He said that Wei Wuji would never complain.
In the middle of the night, he naturally understood the business that Ning Wei's family did under the guise of outsiders, and there were several well-known escort agencies. Since the eldest princess's son-in-law was originally from a well-known family, he was naturally very familiar with such things. According to reports, At midnight, we learned that the Ning family was involved in several important official roads from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River.
There is also Wei Wujiu and his family. When they were in Kucha City at midnight, they saw many caravans going in and out of the Western Region Governor's Mansion. Most of them entered the mansion with one person and one carriage, and then left the mansion to meet people. No car in sight.
It is even more impossible to say that it is Lan Licai. It is difficult for Mrs. Guozhou to pay attention to anything other than the one she likes, Qi Mo Yan. As long as she receives a monthly salary, the sky will fall. Being covered up, I didn’t believe that she would meddle in such nosy matters in the middle of the night. And this is also beneficial and harmless to her. Even if she is not interested, it will not ruin her career.
In the middle of the night, who was just wandering around the courtyard gate for a while, he saw Mo Ying leaving with the yamen servants. His curiosity spiked again and he took a look at Ye Xiayou who was cleaning the courtyard. Whether it was because of uncontrollable curiosity or to avoid last night. The girl Xia You was talking about walked directly to the courtyard gate in the middle of the night and followed the yamen servant all the way.
The destination is naturally the Yamen of Beijing.
The government office is located in the north of Jingfu City, close to the garrison city. A wall divides Jingfu into two, with soldiers stationed on the north side and people living on the south side, with a clear distinction between Jingwei and Jingwei.
Under the high wall is the Yamen.
In the past two days, there have been a lot of rumors about my family affairs, and there was a lot of talk. Wherever I went, I could hear people whispering about the great "joyful" thing about the marriage granted by the saint. I walked around the capital city last night. In the circle, there were a few food stalls that were not too lively, and some drunkards who drank too much under the moonlight were chatting about this secret matter that should not be spread among the public.
After all, the imperial edict was transmitted directly to Panshan, where Yexia Panshan resisted the edict and resisted the marriage. Whether it was for the Ye family or the royal family, this was not a good thing. The father-in-law who passed the edict had been handed over all the way, and he didn't even handle it. For the officials of the three provinces who were away from home due to the recent important festival, the drafting and issuance of the edict were all done by the Holy One. How come it was still circulated in the streets?
Even in the middle of the night, one has to doubt that the eunuch Jie Jiao Jie Diao Si who has been on duty in the palace for a long time has only been running around the capital delivering orders for more than 20 years. This is an unexplained rule of the inner palace. , why is it that the eunuch Quan, who has served the royal family all his life, becomes more lax as he gets older.
A lot of people have gathered at the gate of the Jingfu Yamen. It is the first time to open a court for questioning after the New Year. It is rare to say that it is rare to see it. A lawsuit is going to be filed during this kind of New Year. The new year has a new atmosphere. It can be regarded as making myself feel better. , It’s just that someone happened to get into trouble like this at this time, and the people who always looked at the excitement and didn’t take it too seriously liked it very much.
It's like beating a child on a rainy and cloudy day. Idleness is also idleness. It's fun to watch the excitement. It's always more interesting than hanging around with nothing to do.
He was not afraid that anyone would recognize him, so he squeezed forward without hesitation in the middle of the night. Before he could get to the front, he saw the magistrate of the Jingfu Yamen sitting majestically in official robes under the plaque of "Mirror Hanging High" in the main hall. , the clerk was writing down notes, and another group of government servants in soap clothes were standing quietly. Moving forward, it was Mo Ying. On one side, there was a woman sitting on a temporary bench and sobbing, and there was also a woman who looked like she was too drunk. The man yawned repeatedly and looked sleepy.
You tortured Yingze and even filed a lawsuit?
Looking at his back, I felt that he looked familiar, but before I could see his face clearly, I was crowded in the crowd and my eyesight was blocked in the middle of the night. A bamboo hat was buckled on my head, and then someone pulled me out of the crowd with force.
Seeing who the visitor was, he forgot about the excitement in the office and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"
