I traveled overnight and stayed at the mountain temple in the middle of the night. When I got up in the morning, I paid some copper coins and hired a ox cart to go back on the way.
As the sun approached home, the ox cart slowly moved forward with the bell ringing incessantly. Ye Qing sat behind, dozing off with his eyes closed, cultivating his spirit.
Although this world has its own laws and regulations, they have not been frequently manifested, and due to feeding reasons, horses are still lacking. Therefore, the court issued laws on clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
Li people are not allowed to wear silk, ride horses, and there are specific regulations for officials to use vehicles.
Although these laws are relatively relaxed, many aristocratic sons ride horses for travel, but when it comes to the official class, they become more serious. Even county officials usually travel by ox cart.
The county magistrate is not unable to obtain horses, but it is too conspicuous and inconsistent with political achievements. The most important thing is the rules set by the court and the heavenly court behind it.
The common people basically use ox carts, although they walk slowly, they make do. Now Ye Qing is sitting here!
From a distance, one can see a series of field ridges and a large pond, with elm and mulberry trees planted on both sides of the pond. This stretch of several hectares of land is one mile long.
Ye Qing took a look from the ox cart and realized that these were the fields under his name. He really didn't know when he would truly take control of them.
After being stunned for a moment, he paid the money and walked back to avoid any gossip. He arrived at the Ye Mansion, which was a big family with six or seven guests sitting in the gatehouse drinking tea and chatting. Ye Qing looked around and walked straight through the side door, passing through several corridors to return.
Unexpectedly, the two disciples saw Ye Qing entering from a distance, covered in dust and wind. Their eyes lit up immediately, and one of them rushed out quickly.
Ye Qing entered the garden and walked through a water pavilion. From afar, he saw a pavilion with stone tables and bamboo chairs, where more than a dozen members of the tribe were chatting and laughing. The gentle breeze swept by, making him feel refreshed. Unfortunately, this was the treatment of a respected member or steward within the tribe, and he was still far from being able to do so.
After being stunned for a moment, he chuckled and walked through the backyard, returning to a slightly shabby courtyard to the northwest of Ye Fu. Ye Qing slowly pushed open the door and prepared to turn around to close the gate.
At this moment, a lazy voice came from behind: "I said brother, where have you been
Ye Qing was startled and turned around to see the graceful young master surrounded by several people, none other than Ye Sheng.
Looking again, I noticed Qianqian running out of the room. She looked angry but not dull, with her clothes intact. Unconsciously, I breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, I am a member of the clan and have not reached the point of tearing my face apart. I dare not touch the woman in my house at will, but I am also afraid that if there is a chance, it will be difficult to recover the losses. As for the battle in front of me, it is like a child's play.
A great disaster is coming, with strong winds and heavy rain. What is this scene worth?
I've seen Brother Sheng before. It's rare for him to come here. I don't know what I can learn from him, "Ye Qing bowed.
Ye Sheng glanced up and down, feeling unhappy in his heart. When it comes to seniority, Ye Qing's family is the seventh house of his great grandfather, but at this point, it is just a branch. This calm and indifferent attitude looks like a thorn in his heart, so he cursed and said, "I dare not be taught. On the other hand, my younger brother usually pretends to be serious, but dares to go out at night without reporting. I admire him very much. I hereby report to the clan. My father has ordered you to go and explain... How about you, come with me
Wu Tiezi suddenly straightened his chest, looked around proudly, and finally sneered at Ye Qing.
It turned out that he was being monitored by this guy, and Ye Qing instantly understood. She pressed the small copper cup in her arms, thinking that this thing couldn't be noticed at this moment.
I thought about the clan rules again. The Ye clan has very strict rules. Minors are given crowns, and without any achievements, they are not allowed to go out freely. This is a clan rule that restricts the offspring of the clan from being spoiled. At this point, when I spoke up, it was just and legitimate.
Ye Qing gave a cold glance, straightened her clothes, and shook her sleeves, saying, "Since my second uncle called me, it's not appropriate for me to go now. I'm dusty and impolite. If you wait for me to take a shower and change clothes, then go apologize... Isn't that right, brother
The servants looked at each other and at Ye Sheng. Ye Sheng was stunned, but he said there was nothing wrong.
Seeing this, Ye Qing smiled slightly and squeezed through the crowd, saying, "Qianqian, you're not boiling water for me yet
Qianqian quickly followed suit and the two of them entered the room, closing the door and leaving a group of people staring outside.
Ye Sheng was furious when he saw it, but he laughed back in anger and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go to the clan hall later. It depends on what else you have to say
Inside, Ye Qing strode into the inner room, threw the book basket, took off his clothes, and jumped into the bathtub.
Without hesitation, Qianqian exclaimed, "Young master, the water is already cold
Never mind, where would I dare to make Uncle wait for an hour? "Ye Qing said with a bitter smile, casually taking off the copper cup and handing it over to Qianqian." Tie it to me with a string and keep it close to your body, don't let anyone find it
Mmm! This cup... "Qianqian was taken aback and took the copper cup. Without asking much, she thought for a moment and tied a red rope around the corner hole of the cup. After a few minutes, she disappeared without knowing where she was hiding.
At this moment, Ye Qing was completely naked, and Qianqian rarely blushed a bit. She helped to wash herself, but only asked about the main matter: "Is there anything else the young master needs to arrange
Yes... "Ye Qing leaned back and lay in the cold water, slowly saying," This matter has been caught accurately, and I really can't refute it
But this is a small matter. Even if we deal with it strictly and severely, there will be no worries about our lives. We don't even know how to punish them. My second uncle doesn't have the power, courage, or ruthlessness to do so
To be fair, my second uncle handles things fairly, but when it comes to his son's future, he has no choice but to do so
As for alerting the clan leader, I don't have the weight yet... so no matter what the rumors are below, you don't need to panic, just follow the usual procedures
Qianqian's reaction was extremely fast, and her eyes immediately turned red: "Will it be closed
Heh... If it's not like this, how can it be as they want? "Ye Qing gave a cold smile, looked at Qianqian, and said," But it may not be a formal ban, it's probably house arrest. As long as you restrict your movements and miss this child test, the result will be the same
Qianqian just shook her head and blushed, "Young master, what did you do wrong? Why do they do this? This is a child test
Ye Qing smiled bitterly and said, "If you want to punish me, why bother? If you have to find excuses, you can't find any excuses. Family laws, clan rules, and etiquette are all in the hands of those who set the rules... Besides, I did violate the clan rules
Qianqian helped him wash and stared at Ye Qing, saying, "Young master, you must have success in the future. You can set the rules
You have more confidence than me... "Ye Qing was taken aback, laughing heartily. It was only after several lifetimes that she realized the difficulty of setting rules!
But this is indeed the way of the great man.
In a moment, on the wide garden road, a large group of people crowded around or escorted Ye Qing to the lobby of the estate.
Due to Ye Zifan's long-standing rule in the clan and his serious and serious behavior, he was called a forbidden hall by the younger generation.
The newspaper - "The servant shouted loudly from far outside the hall.
Ye Zifan was drinking tea when he heard a loud announcement outside. He couldn't help but feel a little angry and ordered, "So noisy! Bring it in
The servant came in and saw Ye Zifan's calm face. His legs couldn't help but soften, and he knelt down and said, "Third Master, Young Master Ye Qing has arrived
Let him come up! "Ye Zifan sat still and placed the teacup on the table.
I saw Ye Qing straightened up in front of the hall, walked in with his head held high, and bowed deeply: 'Qing, I have seen Uncle, what did Uncle call for?'
Ye Zifan looked up and down, feeling a slight chill in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to make a fuss. He smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a day, and my virtuous nephew's demeanor has once again surpassed theirs. But what happy event has happened
Ye Qing felt a slight chill in his heart and said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle. It's just that I have gained insight from studying
Ye Zifan just casually asked without delving into the topic: "Reading more is a good thing, knowing loyalty and filial piety, knowing gratitude and repayment... As Uncle said yesterday, has the wise nephew thought it through
Should etiquette be followed by military action?
Ye Qing's heart was transparent as she looked at her uncle, slowly refusing to say, "Heaven and Earth, Dao, Jun, Qin, and Shi, these are the five essential principles. Success and fame originate from the Dao, are sent to the court, and are enshrined in the wishes of her parents. This cannot be ignored
As for the great kindness within the clan and towards my uncle, Qing still said this sentence - a drop of kindness will be repaid by a gushing spring in the future. "When Ye Qing said this sentence, he bowed deeply with a sincere expression.
There is no need to doubt the promises and abilities of a reborn person, as long as they nod their head, they can receive generous rewards in no time.
Reading is a way to understand reason and understand the Tao. Hearing the weight of this statement, Ye Zifan's heart inexplicably moved. He looked up and down and saw that his nephew was wearing a white coat, and even his boots were half worn, but he had a kind of hopeful and confident attitude that made people forget the vulgar at first sight.
This child is not from the pool, he is indeed talented. If we fully support him
Father! "At this moment, Ye Sheng saw something was wrong and shouted urgently, instantly breaking the atmosphere created by Ye Qing.
Ye Zifan shuddered, turned his teacup, and looked at his young son's anxious expression, sighing inwardly, "It's okay
Speaking calmly, he said, "My virtuous nephew really has ambition. This is the right thing to do. Let's just let this matter go. Uncle won't force you
Listening to these cold words, Ye Qing bowed and felt a chill in his heart.
Ye Sheng looked at his father in surprise and was about to speak when he heard him say something.
You're just under the age of the crown, you don't follow the clan rules, you can't go out to the clan at night to report, according to the clan rules, you should be banned for three months... "Ye Zifan gently lifted the lid of the cup, scraped the tea leaves, and his voice was calm as water:" The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules... Do you not obey
Ye Sheng changed from surprise to joy, and looked at Ye Qing with ill intentions. He had been banned for three months and even passed the child test.
Ye Qing sighed inwardly, it was still due to a lack of luck, and this disaster was inevitable. The nature of this matter is still small, and if we confront it head-on, it will be a confrontation with the entire Ye tribe, and then it will be called gray ash.
Ye Qing straightened her emotions and just smiled slightly, "Of course it is, Qing is willing to follow it
Ye Zifan hesitated as he moved the lid of the cup, which surprised and shocked him. He glanced at Ye Qing again, feeling a sense of emptiness in his heart and couldn't help but feel a few regrets.
Finally, taking a sip of tea, he instructed the butler, "Steward Zhang, take Young Master Ying down and place him in Room 3 of the rear dormitory to study. There must be no negligence in terms of treatment, and I will personally inspect it
