Ye Songyan couldn't help laughing, "My sister-in-law was so naughty when she was little, so my uncle and aunt were very annoyed."

Hua Fushu imitated Mrs. Qi Die's attitude of hating iron for being unable to become steel: "Every time I got into a fight, my mother would point at me with a stick and tell me what kind of virtue she had accumulated in her previous life to give birth to such a bastard child. Every time my mother would When he wanted to hit me, my uncle pulled me away, leaving my mother to escape, and she ended up sulking."

Ye Songyan said: "Then the relationship between sister-in-law and your brother-in-law must be very good."

Speaking of his uncle, Hua Fushu's face was filled with happiness, "Yes, my favorite person was my uncle when I was a child. Later, my uncle joined the army..."

At this point, those bright almond eyes dimmed, full of loss and sadness, "Ten years ago, during the Beiling Rebellion...my uncle died in that rebellion, and no bones were left."

Her brother-in-law is proficient in machine arts, can make weapons, and has good martial arts skills.

When she was eight years old, her brother-in-law went to Beiling for training and wrote back that he had met Huo Qing, the Beiling guard who commanded 100,000 lions, and planned to train in his army for a few years. She remembered how happy her parents were at that time, especially her mother, thinking that no one would lead her daughter to misbehave, and no one could stop her from teaching her daughter boudoir etiquette.

In fact, her noisy temper is somewhat related to her brother-in-law, because her brother-in-law is more noisy than she is. Her father said that when she was a child, her brother-in-law often caused a lot of trouble for her grandparents to clean up, and even made her grandma sick with anger. Several times.

Her mother said several times that she was led astray by her brother-in-law.

Her brother-in-law had been in Beiling for less than half a year, and Huo Qing, the defender of Beiling, rebelled against him. He was implicated and died in the rebellion, with no trace of his body left.

At that time, she was studying medicine with Mrs. Miao, and it had been more than a year since she learned about her brother-in-law's death. Because of her brother-in-law's death, she was sad for a long time. It was not until her mother became pregnant that she gradually recovered from her sadness. walk out.

Over the years, her parents never mentioned her brother-in-law in front of her, just for fear of making her sad.

She never talked about this matter with anyone, including Sanqiao. Her uncle gave her a wonderful childhood. When she thought of every moment she spent with her uncle, she would remember that the uncle who loved her the most was no longer there.

There were tears in the corners of her eyes. Ye Songyan knew that he had touched her sadness, and he was a little confused. He wanted to comfort and apologize but didn't know how to say it.

Seeing this, Hua Fushu wiped away her tears and turned her sadness into a smile, "Xiaosi, I'm fine. I just feel a little sentimental when I mention my uncle. If everything's fine, I'll go back."

"Sister-in-law, walk slowly." Ye Songyan said.

Hua Fushu returned to Penglai Residence. Sanqiao had already laid out the Shuzhong mat sent by Qin Youran. She touched it with her hand. As expected, as Qin Youran said, this mat was very cool. She would definitely have a good dream tonight. It is best to dream about the person who is far away in Yuezhou but has never written a letter home to her.

Ye Songyan told the old general what Hua Fushu told him.

Although the old general didn't believe it completely, he believed it to 70-80%. He said: "Hua Mingqian does have a younger brother, who is more than ten years younger than him, and his name is Hua Mingqiao. This brother is both civilized and martial, and Hua Mingqian is resolute and upright. He was not afraid of powerful people and was quite talented. When the late emperor was in power, he valued him very much and worshiped him as censor. Later, he resigned and his family returned to Su Nian. He turned the Hua family's business into a famous company and became rich. I have never heard of whether his brother Hua Mingqiao is working under Huo Qing."

Ye Songyan said: "Grandpa, Uncle Hua Shi has outstanding talents and is favored by the late emperor. He has a bright future. Do you know why he resigned?"

The old general thought deeply and said, "It seems to be because of Ning Qidi. I don't know the specific reason."

Ye Songyan said: "Grandpa, tell me what happened in the first year of Huangyou's reign."

The old general said: "A lot of things happened in the first year of Huangyou. Beiling general Huo Qing rebelled, causing a sensation in the government and the public. King Qinghe was ordered to quell the rebellion. Your father defended Huo Qing, offended the late emperor, and was demoted to quell the Korean rebellion. The always quiet harem was also in turmoil due to Qin Wang's biological mother Qin Xiuyi. Qin Xiuyi's mother and daughter both died during childbirth. There were rumors that Qin Xiuyi's mother and daughter were murdered. The queen was held accountable, and Yan Meiren, De Fei, Gui Fei, Cheng Fei, and Wu Zhaorong were executed. , his family members were either exiled, executed, or demoted to slavery. I remember that many people died at that time. Later, King Qin was granted a fiefdom, and not long after, Princess Xinyang also suddenly fell ill and was sent to Chengning Palace. Recuperation, those days were eventful, and it’s scary to think about it.”

Ye Songyan thought deeply and asked, "Is the second brother's entry into the palace to serve His Majesty also related to my father's defense of General Huo Qing?"

The old general nodded, "At that time, the late emperor was worried about Huo Qing's rebellion. Your father defended Huo Qing, which naturally offended the late emperor. Our Ye family helped Taizu found the country and have been loyal to the Song Dynasty for generations, and the late emperor did not Dare to punish your father for the crime of death, so I had to let your father go on an expedition to Goryeo, but I was also afraid that your father would follow the path of Huo Qing, so I wanted to choose a son from the Ye family to enter the palace on the pretext of choosing an attendant for the prince. You were young at the time, and your mother You are the only son, so how can I agree to let you enter the palace as a pledge? The age of your eldest brother and the young prince is suitable, but he is the eldest son and grandson. Your father has high hopes for your eldest brother, so naturally he cannot be allowed to enter the palace to accompany the prince. , I can only send your second brother to the palace."

In the first year of Huangyou's reign, Goryeo raised troops to invade the border. The late emperor wanted to choose a son from the Ye family in the name of selecting an attendant for the prince. Although the old general was a military general, he might not be as shrewd as those civil servants, so he also knew what the late emperor meant. , he was guarding against Ye Shiheng's rebellion and wanted a son of the Ye family as a hostage.

At that time, Ye Songyan was naturally excluded because of his young age, so he could only choose between Ye Yunlu and Ye Zelin. Ye Yunlu, who was only fourteen years old, was steady and polite, and was only two or three years younger than the prince. It was more appropriate to send him to the palace to serve as the prince's student.

The reason why he chose Ye Zelin was firstly because he didn't like Ye Zelin, secondly because he and Ye Shiheng both valued Ye Yunlu, and thirdly because Ye Zelin was too arrogant and the complicated environment in the palace further dampened his violence.

Ye Songyan said: "So, my second brother's cautious temperament has something to do with the palace."

The old general said: "I don't know how his life in the palace was, and it was not easy to think about it. It took your father more than two years to put down the rebellion in Goryeo. After your father returned to the court, he asked the late emperor for an order before sending your second brother to prison. After he was brought back to his home, his temperament became much calmer and he was not as arrogant as before."

Ye Songyan asked tentatively: "Does my grandfather regret sending his second brother to the palace as a hostage?"

The old general said calmly: "If I don't send him to the palace, sooner or later he will become your second father."

……

Yuezhou.

The sun was high, and a few people were walking around in Pingyang Lane in Yuezhou City. Among them was a middle-aged man who was walking a little hastily. He glanced behind him from time to time to see if anyone was following him.

After confirming that no one was following him, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickened his pace, and finally entered a house, looked around, closed the door, and entered the house.

After about a cup of tea, Yu Chisu, who was dressed in black and had black hair standing up like a man, approached the house and knocked several times, but no one answered.

Yu Chisu felt a little uneasy, so he kicked open the door and walked quickly towards the house, only to see the bloody side.

The middle-aged man was lying on the ground in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open as if he had been frightened, and he felt like he would never rest in peace...
