The daily life of the eldest son

In Saibei in September, the vast green is dyed with bright colors by the autumn wind, turning it into an endless warm yellow. The flock of sheep ran happily, and the shepherd chased after him on horseback, lazily holding the long whip used to drive the flock Even though it's only September, the wind in the north can still make people feel chilly. Ye Chengqian pulled the fur cap on his head down again, yawned, and continued chasing after the flock of sheep. He ran around, unable to tell whether it was he herding the sheep or the sheep walking him.

In the twinkling of an eye, it has been almost ten years since I lived in Saibei. The once glamorous body has long been blown into decadence by the strong wind in Saibei. The wealth and prosperity of Chang'an City is like a dream in the south. Now I can't remember what kind of Ye Mansion's lintel is. appearance.

That day Ye Chengqian left Ye Mansion and rode his horse into the palace, knowing that he was seeking his own death, but he also wanted to find that person and be with him, but he was stopped by someone halfway, and he didn't even have time After clarifying the situation, he was knocked out and taken away.

When he woke up again, he was already on his way to the north. After the explanation of his companions, Ye Chengqian knew that the king of Shu had arranged for someone to send him out of the city, and he had left a letter for him.At that time, everything in the capital was over, quietly.Soon after, the emperor announced to the world that the king of Shu died suddenly.

The letter left by the King of Shu, Ye Chengqian didn't even open the envelope, and threw it into the bonfire that night and burned it to ashes.The bonfire was bright, and in the light of the fire, Ye Chengqian seemed to see the past.

The first time I saw that person was at the Imperial College, they both studied at the Imperial Academy, and because they were similar in age, they were arranged to take the same courses at the same time.He is the son of Dr. Zuo Jianyi. He is well-behaved, obedient, intelligent and steady. He perfectly completes the homework left by the doctors every day, although no one knows that he paid others to write them.That man is the emperor's son, ignorant, unruly, sleeping in class and fighting after class every day, although no one knows that he always hides in a corner of the Hongwen Museum, reading with relish those books that even he finds obscure. book of.

The first conversation between the two was that the man accidentally injured his younger brother, so he paid someone to block the man in the alley and beat him up. He was just hiding and peeking, but somehow he was The man found out.

Since then, that naughty person has been relying on him, and he is always around him when he has something to do. .

Days passed by, one year, two years, three years, that person was always by his side, he gradually discovered that they were unexpectedly congenial, he gradually discovered that they were very similar, that person understood his pursuit, and he also knew what that person wants.

They became friends day after day like that, but the emotions he embraced gradually changed.

In the second year after that man married a concubine, he also got married and married a gentle and virtuous woman. When he was drunk, he mistakenly confided his heart, thinking that the woman would hate him, but in the end, the woman had nothing. Said, as if he had never heard of that incident, continued to live an ordinary life with him, and gave birth to a son for him.

After his son was born, he finally realized that his family should be the main focus of his life. He was destined not to get that person, but his wife and his son were by his side and belonged to him, so he alienated him. People, concentrate on being a good husband and a good father.

However, that person refused to let him go after all, and suddenly visited him and invited him to plan a big event together.

In fact, it doesn't matter what he wants to do, and it doesn't matter what the reason is. He only knows that he can't refuse that person's request after all. When that person doesn't need him, he can live in the distance as if he doesn't exist, and won't get close , and when that person needs him, he will definitely go to that person's side and cannot stay away.

That was a line of thought, he had known it a long time ago, because that person's temperament was not suitable for calling the emperor a king, but when that person thought about it, he tried his best to help.

A sheep strayed suddenly, Ye Chengqian withdrew his thoughts, galloped to catch up, swung his whip, and drove the poor lamb back to the flock.

Anyone who sees this whip will appreciate it greatly, but the sky is high and the earth is wide, and even the flock of sheep running ahead can only hear the sound of the whip, and cannot see how wonderful the whip is.

After putting away the long whip, Ye Chengqian returned to his lazy appearance.

Back then, that person had arranged for him to be sent outside the pass, but he chose to stay inside the pass.Although this northwest is not the place where he grew up, it is still within a country after all. He is already alone and has no home. If he loses the country, there will really be nothing left.

Ye Chengqian also asked himself whether he regretted it later, but no matter how he questioned himself, Ye Chengqian's heart was always indifferent.

Ye Chengqian thought, he probably has no regrets.

In this life, a person is always moving forward in the choice, giving up one and getting the other, and being able to achieve the best of both worlds must be favored by God. Obviously, Ye Chengqian is not a person favored by God, on the contrary, he may be blessed by God. Those who hate him, those who love him are abandoned by him, and those he loves go away from him. In the end, all his hopes and desires are in vain, and there is nothing left.

But he still doesn't regret it, everything is just his own fault.

It’s just that Ye Chengqian would also think of the green bricks and red tiles of Chang’an City in the dead of night when only the whistling of the wind outside the tent could be heard, and in bad harvest years when he could only chew hard jerky to live, Ye Chengqian would also miss Chang’an City Whenever he sees other people's children laughing and running past in groups, Ye Chengqian will also miss the son he abandoned.

Ye Chengqian felt that Ye Yi was like him, and also a fool. Although Ye Chengqian felt that he was not qualified to do anything for Ye Yi now, he would still pray day and night, praying that his only blood would live a peaceful life.

In the distance, the sound of frantic horseshoes suddenly came to mind. Ye Chengqian secretly prayed that the horse would not disperse his flock. Curious who came out to run the horse in this cold weather, Ye Chengqian turned his head and took a look.

"Dumo, stop quickly! You've startled other people's flocks!" Seeing that the shepherd's flock of sheep was scattered by them, Ye Yi hurriedly called the guards behind him to help bring the sheep back, but he still wanted to Chasing Dumo, afraid that Dumo, who was running a horse for the first time on the grassland, would fall.

Du Mo reined in his horse, turned his horse's head, and looked at Ye Yi with a smile, as if he was a little proud.

Ye Yi chased after Du Mo, and rubbed Du Mo's head helplessly.

Tang Xiao also caught up from behind, picked it up and put it in front of him, and said with a straight face: "What are you doing running so fast? You scared your adoptive father. You are not allowed to ride alone for the time being." !"

Du Mo, who was already 14 years old, suddenly looked at Tang Xiao with dissatisfaction.

Didn't it just fall off the horse a few days ago, and neither an arm nor a leg was broken. Why are the two adoptive fathers so worried?And he is already 14 years old, Tang Yifu can still pick him up like a chicken, this is simply too infuriating!He is 14 years old!

Ignoring the dissatisfaction on Du Mo's face, Ye Yi turned his head to look at the frightened shepherd, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry to startle the old man's sheep, I'll ask them to help you chase them back."

Some distance away, the shepherd still lowered his head, Ye Yi only saw the other party nodded, but couldn't see the other party's expression.

This is freaking out?Ye Yi and Tang Xiao looked at each other, and rushed forward, wanting to apologize.

As a result, Ye Yi's horse had just taken two steps, but the shepherd made the horse take two steps back, and when Ye Yi stepped forward again, the shepherd backed up again.

What is this situation?

"Ayi, don't go there, maybe he's not a Han Chinese." Tang Xiao said disapprovingly, "When they catch all the sheep, just pay some money to scare them."

Ye Yi pouted.Although this method is not very good, it can only be done like this.

So Ye Yi nodded, turned his horse around, and walked back side by side with Tang Xiao.

They came here accompanying the northern tour, just now because Dumo ran away suddenly, both of them chased after them in fright, although Nanrong Qingxia didn't mind, it's better to go back earlier.

Riding on the horseback and walking forward, Ye Yi and Tang Xiao said these words, but for some reason, his heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the shepherd. Yi immediately reined in his horse and stopped.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yi, who had already left, would turn back suddenly, Ye Chengqian was stunned, and then began to regret that he should not have raised his head to look at him again, lucky to think that Ye Yi might not recognize him, but Ye Yi's expression was so obvious, in the end Ye Chengqian Embarrassedly smiled at Ye Yi.

Seeing Ye Yi froze suddenly, the expression on his face seemed to be shocked, but also rejoicing, which made Tang Xiao very puzzled.

Following Ye Yi's line of sight, Tang Xiao saw a somewhat familiar face, and after distinguishing it for a long time, he connected the shepherd in front of him with the once famous Guozi Jijiu in Chang'an.

Tang Xiao didn't say anything, just quietly waiting for Ye Yi.

The turmoil in his heart gradually calmed down, Ye Yi rode to the side of Ye Chengqian, looked at Ye Chengqian's face that was much older than he remembered, Ye Yi took off the cloak on his body, and put it on Ye Chengqian.

"You..." He opened his mouth, but Ye Yi didn't know what to say.

Ye Chengqian touched the luxurious fur cloak on his body, and asked with a smile: "The emperor's northern tour?"

Ye Yi stared at Ye Chengqian intently, nodded his head, his eyes were red unconsciously.

Seeing this, Ye Chengqian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled again: "You, you are soft-hearted, why are you still crying when you see me?"

Ye Yi remained silent, not because he didn't know what to say, but because what he wanted to say was stuck in his throat, it seemed that as long as he uttered a sound, the words would not be able to be stopped, but the tears might not be able to be stopped either.

Ye Chengqian sighed: "Although this northern land is not as warm and soft as Chang'an, the vastness of the world can open up people's hearts. It's good that I'm here."

"It's fine...it's fine..." Ye Yi still cried after all.

Before he knew it, Ye Chengqian had tears on his face.

After all, it is still father and son.

"Go back, that kid from the Tang family is still waiting for you."

"What about you?" Ye Yi asked eagerly.

Ye Chengqian looked at Ye Yi and smiled, "I'm going home too, there are still people waiting at home."

Hearing that someone was waiting, Ye Yi felt relieved, nodded, wiped away his tears, and turned around.

"Where do you live?" Ye Yi turned his head and looked at Ye Chengqian.

Ye Chengqian shook his head, and said: "If the fate is not over, we will meet again."

If the fate is over, it is best not to see yourself again.

I don't know if he understood Ye Chengqian's Ye Yi, Ye Yi finally rode his horse and ran towards Tang Xiao, turned his head to look at him, and returned with Tang Xiao and Du Mo, without looking back again.

Ye Chengqian still stood still and looked at Ye Yi's back until Ye Yi and his party disappeared from sight, but Ye Chengqian was still watching, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally drove his flock away.

Ye Chengqian returned to his home after sending the sheep back to the employer's sheepfold: a rammed earth hut, a narrow earth kang, a wooden table, and a jug of spirits...
