The daily life of the eldest son

The morning light at the end of winter always came later, so when the drums to announce the dawn sounded for the first time, in addition to the servants and maidservants who got up early to prepare, there was another person in Ye Mansion who had been waiting for a long time.

In the bamboo forest of Ye Mansion, Ye Yi was wearing a plain white long gown, holding a long sword in his hand, flipping lightly in the bamboo forest, like a frightened dragon swimming in the air.The sword energy swayed, shaking off the accumulated crystal white snow on the bamboo leaves, leaving only a small white flower that came from nowhere and hung tremblingly on the bamboo leaves.

"Son."

The crisp voice of the personal maid Lan Ruo came to her ears, Ye Yi turned around and put away the sword move, and looked up at Lan Ruo.

"It's five o'clock?"

After casually asking questions, Ye Yiju walked up to the flower, with a gentle smile on his face, carefully picked up the little flower and placed it in his palm.

The flowers that are in full bloom at this time of year are only in the plum garden next door, and this one may have been accidentally dropped by the maidservant when she was picking flowers.

Lan Ruo walked quickly to Ye Yi with her head down, handed a clean cloth towel to Ye Yi and replied, "Master, the morning drum beats a little earlier today."

The early that Lan Ruo said was only half a cup of tea early.

"That's right." Ye Yi carefully held the flowers in one hand, and took a cloth towel from Lan Ruo with the other hand to wipe off the sweat on his face, then smiled softly at Lan Ruo, and said, "The New Year's Eve is over, but today My son is still cold, you don't have to come to this bamboo forest every morning to look for me, when the time comes, I will go back."

Lan Ruo did not raise her drooping head, she shook her head lightly and said stubbornly: "It is the duty of a maidservant to take care of the young master. As long as the young master is in this mansion, the maidservant will serve him, regardless of the cold or heat."

Feeling somewhat helpless towards Lan Ruo's stubborn temper, Ye Yi smiled and patted Lan Ruo's head.

Ye Yi took a closer look at the flower in his palm, suddenly tightened his five fingers unexpectedly and squeezed it hard, and when he spread his hand again, the flower was no longer there, only a few broken petals fell from Ye Yi's palm with the wind.

The corner of Ye Yi's mouth curled into a sneer, and he walked back to his residence, Moyaju.

This is a bamboo forest, what are the flowers for?

Not at all surprised by Ye Yi's move, Lan Ruo followed behind Ye Yi without saying a word but followed every step. After a while, she seemed to suddenly remember and said, "Madam Lin invites you to have breakfast at Xiangyunxuan."

"Understood." Ye Yi's footsteps paused, but the pause was only momentary.

Mrs. Lin's name is Lin Yu'er, and she is the concubine of Ye Yi's father Ye Chengqian and Ye Yi's concubine, but she was not carried into the mansion because of her deep love and stayed until today, but because the woman used dirty tricks to conceive her. The father's child, after giving birth and discovering that it was a son, came to the door with the child in his arms.

Ye Yi's mother was still alive at that time, and Ye Chengqian, who loved his wife deeply, wanted to send the mother and son away, but he didn't want Ye Yi's grandfather to know about the matter.As a result, Ye Yi's mother died the following year.

Everyone, including Ye Yi's father and grandfather, believed that Ye Yi's mother died of exhaustion caused by overwork, and Ye Chengqian felt ashamed to face Ye Yi because of remorse and guilt, and hid in the Imperial Prison all day , rarely go home.

But Ye Yi knew that this was not the case, but Ye Yi, who was only seven years old back then, was still helpless even if he saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears.But Ye Yi never forgot this resentment, and when he finds ironclad evidence, the mother and son will never recover!For now, let them be at ease.

After returning to Mo Yaju to take a bath and change clothes, Ye Yi went to Xiangyun Pavilion next to the main room.When Ye Yi arrived, Lin Yu'er had been waiting for quite a while.

"Concubine." Ye Yi bowed to Lin Yu'er with a gentle smile, and said to Lin Yu'er with concern after straightening up, "When did concubine come? But you have been waiting in Xiangyun Pavilion for a long time? Why don't you let the servant Add another brazier for the maid? This Xiangyun Pavilion is not as good as the room in the backyard, but it’s cold.” After speaking, Ye Yi ordered the servants at the side to prepare another brazier.

Lin Yu'er smiled shyly: "Mr. Lao, I'm bothering you. The concubine didn't wait long. It's not cold. The considerate temperament of the eldest son is very similar to that of the mistress, and he is so kind to people who are not welcome like concubines , the concubine can enter the door of Ye Mansion, it is really the merits of the ancestors, and the blessings of the three generations."

"My concubine's reputation is too high, I'm not a ten thousandth as good as my mother." Ye Yi smiled gently.

Lin Yuer also laughed, and then pushed a few dishes on the table in front of Ye Yi, urging: "Young master, eat quickly, it's cold, and the food is cold quickly. These are all after I asked Miss Lan Ruo. It is specially made for the eldest son, does the eldest son like it?"

"Why does my concubine need to do this? Let the servants do these things, why bother my concubine?" Saying this, Ye Yi picked up the chopsticks, put some side dishes into his mouth, and behaved gracefully.

Lin Yu'er smiled and said: "It's okay, the left and right concubines are also idle, and there is always something to do."

After hearing this, Ye Yi only smiled slightly, but didn't answer the words.

Ye Yi suddenly didn't speak, and didn't intend to speak, which made Lin Yu'er a little restless.

People often say: If you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal.These words could not be more suitable for Lin Yuer.Lin Yuer's actions to curry favor with Ye Yi before were all intentional, and this breakfast was no exception.It's just that Ye Yi was so absorbed in eating that Lin Yu'er really couldn't find the time to speak.

After drinking half a bowl of porridge, Ye Yi suddenly raised his head to look at Lin Yu'er, and asked suspiciously, "Mother, where is Brother Ming?"

This "brother Ming" refers to Ye Ming, Lin Yuer's 17-year-old biological son.

Hearing Ye Yi mention Ye Ming, Lin Yuer was overjoyed.She had come to Ye Yi to ask about Ye Ming, but it was not easy for her to speak up with a cheeky face, or it would not be easy to bring up this topic without any trace, and she had been waiting for Ye Yi to ask for a long time.

Lin Yu'er sighed pretending to be sad, and said: "Ming'er, he left as soon as he heard the drumbeat, saying that there was still work to be done in the Si Nong Temple. Young Master, what kind of official did you arrange for Ming'er?" Son? Why do you get up early and be greedy all day long?"

A month ago, it was Lin Yuer who came to the door with a generous gift and begged Ye Yi to entrust Ye Ming with an official job. The grade doesn't need to be high, just leisure.But since Ye Ming took office, he has been up early and late all day long. This is not the morning drum, and everyone else gets up at this time, but Ye Ming has already gone out in a hurry, and when he got home, he complained about how tired and tired he was at work. Lin Yuer only saw the scars on Ye Ming's hands, and asked Ye Ming what he did, but Ye Ming didn't tell her. Lin Yuer was distressed and anxious, so she came to Ye Yi again, wanting to ask clear.

When Ye Yi heard this, he frowned, and said with a puzzled expression: "Get up early and stay late? It shouldn't be... The person I entrusted said that the position doesn't bother and don't work hard. It's just a lot of free time. Why do you need to get up early and stay late?" Could it be..." Ye Yi frowned even tighter as he spoke.

"What? Could it be something?" Ye Yi's voice dragged on, and Lin Yu'er's heart was instantly lifted into her throat, and she looked at Ye Yi in a panic.

But don't make any mistakes!

Seeing Lin Yuer's expression, Ye Yi smiled softly, and said in relief: "Mother, don't panic, I'm not saying that my brother was bullied or something happened."

"Then... what does the eldest son mean?"

Ye Yi's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he looked at Lin Yu'er before hesitatingly said: "Mother, Brother Ming is at the age of playing and can't help the temptation, now that he has entered Sinong Temple, he must also be handed over. I have met quite a few friends, he may be with his friends this morning and night, don't worry too much, concubine."

Hearing Ye Yi's words, Lin Yu'er blinked blankly.

Lin Yu'er naturally understood the implication of Ye Yi's inconvenient words, and felt that what he said made some sense.The three-year-old child is shopping by his mother's side, but this 17-year-old is the age when he wants to break free from his mother's shackles.Could it be that Ming'er really hangs out with some people with bad morals?

After everything was finished, Ye Yi finished his meal, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and Ye Yi comforted Lin Yu'er in a warm voice: "How about this, I have to go back to Dali Temple after finishing my errands today, so I will go to the Si Let Nong Si take a look at Brother Ming, if he is really being deceived by others, I can go and help him, if not, I will persuade Brother Ming a few words, tell him to restrain his mind, so mother-in-law don't worry."

"Okay, okay." Lin Yuer nodded quickly, thanking Ye Yi non-stop, and then thought of something, "Eldest son, and the lord..."

Ye Yi smiled helplessly, and said: "As long as I can remember, my father has been crazy about books, and even my mother always complained that my father used the library in the palace as his home instead of his home as an inn, and now his father even lives in the Imperial College Concentrating on your studies will embarrass your concubine."

Lin Yu'er forced a smile, and said in a low voice: "Young master is too serious, how can a concubine be compared with the mistress."

Ye Yi sighed, and said: "Forget it, I will also go to the Imperial College today, but I don't know if I can see my father."

Lin Yu'er got up and bowed to Ye Yi, and said awkwardly: "My concubine is talking nonsense, and I am causing trouble to the eldest son."

Ye Yi smiled and waved his hands, then turned and left.

After Ye Yi left the room, Lin Yu'er's face instantly became gloomy.

What kind of good man is this motherless brat pretending to be?But relying on his wife's status as the eldest son, he was able to get along in the officialdom like a fish in water. What is he proud of?

Although her master was only a third-rank prince offering wine since he asked to be demoted, he was a prince and a tutor before that!That official is big!The status is high!Which of the big officials in the imperial court should not be courteous when they see her master?This bastard is nothing more than enjoying the favor of the master and getting the care of those people.

snort!But even if he was taken care of by someone, wouldn't that bastard stay in Dali Temple for four years just to become a young minister of Dali Temple?What is he proud of?If it were her Ming'er, she would definitely be able to do a lot better than that brat!

But this bastard is just like his short-lived mother, she is a kind master, just wait and see, she wants this bastard to personally send her tomorrow to a high position, and treat her tomorrow through the bastard. If her influence stepped on the bastard, and then snatched the bastard's connections, she would like to see what the bastard can be proud of by then!

On the other side, Ye Yi, who got out of the gate of Ye Mansion and got into the carriage, also had a cold face, leaning against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed, thinking about something.
