Ye Yuzhou gave in twice, but Uncle Gong didn't even enter the house. He said that the load of frozen vegetables was still lying on the street, and his mother-in-law was also waiting, and he would have to leave in a moment.
When Yun Niang saw that no one came in, she also came out to invite him. She talked about how the meal would be ready in a while. The noodles had been prepared early in the morning and the bacon was also steamed.
Uncle Gingzheng sent her back with the same reason, waved his hands from a high position, and said: "You guys, please don't delay me by asking me to come and go. I just came to see the fish porridge to say a few words. I'll just stand here." I can finish."
After placing the things, Li Yingyue came out again and stood aside to watch. Uncle Gong didn't chase her away, and he didn't know if he thought that she was still young and couldn't understand.
"Look here for the fish porridge."
By the light of the torch in the yard, the fair uncle turned sideways, pointed at the fence on one side, and said:
"I just turned around and saw that this fence is made of old bamboo and new bamboo. It has been repaired by generations of people. I think these new ones were all replaced by you gradually in the past two years, right?"
"Well, I replace them sporadically on weekdays. Uncle Fang, you just realized that I have changed a lot without knowing it." Ye Yuzhou nodded and said.
The fence of Lao Zheng's house is quite old. From time to time, a few branches break, and new bamboo has to be repaired in time.
Yun Niang said that it is okay to have no fence at all in the yard of a house, but since there is one, it is not good to leave incomplete holes there, lest others look like a run-down house.
"Finally, we have managed to survive a family. Even if Zheng Laomeng left, it has not been ruined. It has always been decent."
Uncle Ping Gong looked around, nodded continuously, and said with emotion: "The fish porridge has been done very well in the past two years."
"The main credit is due to my sister Yun Niang. The eldest sister is like a mother. She works the hardest." Ye Yuzhou said.
"Yun Niang is also very good. The three children in your family are all very good."
After finishing his praise, Mr. Gongping paused and then turned to the main topic: "I just came from the street, and everyone there was talking about whether you will follow Mr. Chu to Chang'an..."
"The storyteller did indeed invite me. Dragonfly just came back and told me about it."
Ye Yuzhou turned his head and motioned to Li Yingyue who was standing aside. She had been sweating and her hair was still bent and stuck to her forehead, like an interesting eyebrow decoration.
"Um."
Uncle Pingping nodded, and did not directly ask Ye Yuzhou about his thoughts and decisions at this time, whether he wanted to go or not, but said:
"That's why I wanted to come over and have a chat with you. I don't have any specific suggestions. I just thought that the elders in your family were gone and I was afraid of lack of discussion, so I came to discuss it with you. I also want to discuss this with you. Let me tell you a little bit of my rough experience as an old native."
Ye Yuzhou hurriedly raised his hands. It was always tiring to talk to such a tall person. After he raised his hands, he had to raise his head and said, "Thank you, Uncle Fang."
"Fish Porridge doesn't have to be so polite all the time. In short, it's up to you to make the final decision on this matter."
"yes."
"The old man has little experience and doesn't know what is going on in the upper reaches of the court, but he always feels in his heart that it seems that the matter of appointing talents and inviting people to come back is not the responsibility of the Prince of the East Palace."
Uncle Ping's words are completely consistent with Ye Yuzhou's own previous analysis.
In this matter, the prince sent someone to publicly invite Chu Shiyan, inviting him to assist and fight against a certain force. The implication was strong and obvious, and this kind of confrontation had most likely been broken and openly stated.
Since the emperor has been ill in bed, and the Zhou Dynasty has experienced many twists and turns in the matter of establishing a prince in the past ten years, it is actually obvious that their opponent is the "sage".
The current saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not the emperor, but the empress Wei, named Wei Zhuo. It is said that he has accompanied the emperor to attend court for several years.
"On this point, I agree with Uncle Ping." Ye Yuzhou said.
Uncle Gingping nodded, "As far as I remember, the current Crown Prince of Zhou Dynasty should not be the same one when Master Chu was the Grand Tutor, right?"
"No, the man named Chen Guanchang at that time was the eldest prince. He died in prison five years ago. After that, another prince was deposed. The current one is the third prince, named Chen Dingxian." Ye Yuzhou replied.
"Oh, that's right." Uncle Pingping nodded, and then continued: "Speaking of which, Mr. Chu and the current emperor don't seem to be getting along well. I remember that in the first two years when he came to Gucheng to speak, we had some stupid questions here. I have spoken to the current emperor, and his evaluation seems not to be good."
"He said at that time that Zhuzi was not enough for strategy." Ye Yuzhou said.
"That means we can't deal with it."
Fairbo made a conclusion.
However, Ye Yuzhou does not completely agree with this point. When two men have been together for many years and worked hard together, and then one of them scolded the other like this, the resentment is mixed with some close affection.
As the guest at the small teahouse said before, Chu Shiyan was not killed after such a big incident happened, but was dismissed from his post. This clearly shows that the current emperor actually always takes into account the affection between the two.
On the spot, Ye Yuzhou did not voice his objections.
Uncle Gong Gong pondered for a moment and said: "After discussing this, I feel that it is somewhat dangerous, and it may even be dangerous."
Ye Yuzhou: "Indeed."
"But I can't just talk about the dangers and not talk about the opportunities... This matter is actually a great opportunity that ordinary people will only see in their lifetimes."
"Fish Porridge understands."
"I am a countryman with low vision, so what I say may not be correct."
"Uncle Fairy, you are so humble. If you speak from a high place, it is natural for you to speak eloquently." Ye Yuzhou raised his head and made a joke.
Uncle Fair: "You kid!"
"Then it depends on how you weigh the fish porridge." Uncle Gingping looked into Ye Yuzhou's eyes and said.
"I will think carefully." Ye Yuzhou looked up and looked at each other.
Then, Uncle Fairy laughed slowly... On his vicissitudes of life but always serious face, a rare smile appeared, and then, in a self-deprecating voice, he laughed and said:
"I told you when I came here that I don't make suggestions, but I really want to make suggestions now..."
"Uncle Fair, please tell me." Ye Yuzhou said with a smile.
"Let's talk about it before we leave. This is for your reference. Let me digress first, but I have wanted to tell you for a long time. It may not make sense to say it now, but I thought I would say it anyway."
"good."
"Approximately everyone in Quan Gucheng knows that Yu Zhi will be the next fair uncle. Not many people have raised this question now because they always think that I can still be in charge of this job for many years, but if someone really asks , all they can think of is you."
Ye Yuzhou replied that it was nothing and could only smile.
"Actually, I'm going out for a while in the next two or three years, and I don't know how long it will take for me to come back. So I always want to find an opportunity to tell you in advance that I have to be prepared to be the youngest fairer in the history of Gucheng. Uncle...hahahaha, cough cough."
Mr. Fairy laughed so hard that he coughed.
Ye Yuzhou thought about that scene. He was eighteen or nineteen years old and went out on the street. People all over the street, including his white-haired grandpa, came to call him "Uncle Fairness" and couldn't help but laugh.
Then maybe it’s time to keep a straight face more often.
Even Li Yingyue on the side couldn't help laughing. She acted obediently and saluted Ye Yuzhou, shouting "Uncle Fairness", making herself laugh.
"I didn't expect that Fish Porridge might leave first now. I'm leaving now, so there's no need to come out to deliver it."
Uncle Gong stopped laughing and coughing, and turned around neatly and walked out of the courtyard.
When he was closing the courtyard door, he said: "I feel that if love is true, it will last forever."
The fair uncle gave him some advice and turned around and walked towards the market.
"Thank you, Mr. Fairy. Yuzhu understands."
In fact, after the two people chatted just now, Ye Yuzhou himself had almost the same meaning.
When he turned around, Li Yingyue had already walked very close to him, raising his head, with a pair of eyes flashing with a little depression and helplessness:
"Looks like there's no need to pack things tonight."
"Oh, it seems Dragonfly understands." Ye Yuzhou reached out and rubbed her head.
"What's so difficult about this? It just means waiting. Anyway, if we go there, it won't be of any help. It's better to stay and wait a while to see what the situation will be like after Mr. Shuo returns...
"If we lose to that enemy and lose quickly, he might come back to Gucheng in despair."
Li Yingyue turned around and walked around while talking.
"The relationship between us and the storyteller is real enough. It will be the same if we go to Chang'an City to look for him later."
"If we go later, there will be no affection. Then this affection is not enough for us to follow him to Chang'an tomorrow."
"My dragonfly is really smart and extraordinary." Ye Yuzhou looked thoughtful and praised sincerely.
"Yes...but I want to see Chang'an!"
Li Yingyue turned her back to Ye Yuzhou, and she seemed to be really yearning for her. She grabbed her clothes with both hands and got angry, and raised her head:
"Chang~~an!"
"Chang~~an!"
She screamed into the night sky like she was howling madly, but she was actually afraid that Yun Niang would hear her and be scolded, so she didn't really let out her voice completely.
"Actually, Dragonfly, you have seen Chang'an. You grew up there before you were six years old."
Ye Yuzhou said behind her.
