I heard Mr. Ye is a good dragon?

Bailong didn't return to Yefu all night.

Ye Heng was in a hurry. He ate a few bites in the morning and went out to find someone. The first thing he went to was Central Street.

Now that the central street has been cleaned up, although it is not as lively as before, there are still quite a lot of people. It is a pity that no one has seen Bailong from the street to the end of the alley.

As usual, he went to two porridge sheds to help everyone cook porridge, dry the quilts, and inquire about Bailong, but the result still disappointed him.

After dragging his exhausted body back home, before Ye Heng entered the courtyard, the housekeeper hurriedly ran over: "Young master, master's leg hurts again, I want to ask Mr. Bai to show him... Eh? Didn't Mr. Bai come with you?"

"I'm looking for him too." Ye Heng rubbed his forehead, turned around and went to Ye Yiheng's bedroom, "I'll go and see first, you go to the nearby medical clinic, has the doctor who was good at acupuncture and moxibustion come back yet?" .”

He rushed to his father's bed without stopping, and after asking a few words, he lifted up his father's trousers and took a closer look: "Dad, most of your redness and swelling have faded away, does it really hurt that much?"

"It doesn't hurt as much as before, but it still hurts. Be careful when you pull your trousers..." Ye Yiheng was irritable, like a reckless child, "Why hasn't Bailong come yet?"

"He didn't come back yesterday," Ye Heng sighed speechlessly, and then looked at Ye Yiheng, "Father, although I have asked the housekeeper to go out to find someone to relieve your pain, it is time for you to regain consciousness, otherwise how will you judge Yu? How about your own recovery after the doctor prescribed the medicine?"

"Don't I know this yet? After I finish eating the few pastes prescribed by the imperial doctor, I will naturally feel it personally."

He was stubborn, Ye Heng didn't argue with him too much, told him to have a good rest, and went back to his room.

Zhaocai brought freshly made hot tea and made him a full cup: "Master, the meal will be here soon, please warm up first."

Ye Heng reached out his hand to touch the teacup, for some reason the cup burst open, and the hot tea sprayed on his hand and flowed all over the table.

"His..."

Ye Heng withdrew his hand in pain, the fingertips on the back of his hand were already red.Zhaocai was so scared that he quickly brought a basin of cold water: "Young master, dip your hands in it! I'll go to the cellar to find ice for you!"

Ye Heng did as he was told.The cold water relieved the pain, and he turned his head to look at the broken porcelain cup, inexplicably feeling ominous, and the broken edges and corners of the porcelain made him panic for no reason.

"Ice is coming!"

Zhaocai held a piece of ice, and carefully put it on Ye Heng's reddish wound, who knows how long it had not been applied, Ye Heng suddenly withdrew his hand and grabbed his arm: "Get into the treasure carriage, I will I have to go back!"

Zhaocai ran towards the door while agreeing, and suddenly thought of something and turned his head: "Master, what do you mean by going back?"

"Go back to our own little courtyard!"

Zhao Cai suddenly said "Oh!", and quickly ran out of the yard.

Ye Heng got into the car and asked Jinbao to "hurry up, faster", all the way, making himself dizzy and dizzy, but he didn't care.

After getting out of the car and rushing into the yard, he avoided the unsold wine piled up in the corridor and stumbled into his bedroom.

There was no one in the bedroom for a long time, and there was a damp, cold, musty smell. Ye Heng covered his nose with his sleeve, rummaged through boxes near the mirror stand, and finally found the box he used to store cyclamen.

Opening the lid of the box, he inspected the contents again—the ice lotus was still hard, and the green blood was still as smooth as jade, nothing had changed.

Ye Heng breathed a sigh of relief.According to what Bailong said before, as long as he is still safe, these little things condensed by his spells will not change or disappear.

"Go back." Ye Heng walked out of the house with the box in his arms, and whispered to Zhaocaijinbao who came later, "Ask someone to clean this place well, and I will come back to live after the two porridge sheds are demolished." Yes... If Bailong comes here, remember to send a message to me."

Ye Heng pressed the box to his chest and hugged it all the way, and after returning home, he sent someone to West Market to find the person who specialized in tracing people and was tight-lipped to buy Bailong's whereabouts.

Three days later, the other party sent news that Bailong had entered the palace gate, but he never came out.Ye Heng stuffed the money and wanted to ask again, but the other party waved his hand: "I don't dare to inquire about the affairs of the palace casually, if something goes wrong, my head will be beheaded."

Ye Heng had no choice but to ponder this matter slowly by himself.

If it is true that you are not joking, then Bailong will not be handed over to the national teacher after entering the palace.But in this case, why did the emperor let Bailong enter the palace?If it was interrogated in person, it wouldn't take five or six days, right?

Ye Heng was extremely difficult to understand, but he was Bai Ding, and he was not allowed to face the emperor without an edict. It was impossible to obtain the most reliable news from the emperor, so he had to ask Gao Jiayi to inquire about it, and he had some concerns— ——The national teacher said before that he "attempted to bribe the court officials". If he made a wrong step, he might implicate the Gaofu, so this risk cannot be taken.

So he took out all the items in the box, put them all into the waterproof leather bag on the scorpion, and opened it when he had time to check Bailong's safety.

Every time he finds that the ice lotus and the jasper jade are intact, his uneasiness will be less.Sometimes he would comfort himself, Bailong also traveled alone before, could he have left for something this time?

By the way, why did Bailong leave last time?Did he explain it to himself?

Forget it, no matter whether he is a dragon or a snake, he also has his own home, and what he has to do, maybe he will come back after a while.But if he sneaked out just to play with other goblins, then I can't just let him go... Hey!Let's wait for him to come back for another trial!

Time flies, one month later, all the streets in the capital were emptied of sewage, most of the porridge sheds were dismantled, some rain gear and medicinal materials were given to those in need, and several expropriated inns were also evacuated because of the rice and medicinal materials. out of space.

A few wooden houses for people to stay in remained, cleaned by the temple monks, and opened after sunset. Those homeless people only need to pay one copper coin to sleep here under a thick quilt. If there is no copper coin, Help the monks in the monastery to do some work of fetching water and pounding rice, and you can also stay for one night.

Because Ye Heng helped a lot of people during the rain disaster, after the vegetables and rice noodles returned to normal prices, people often sent some fresh food to the door of Ye Mansion, sometimes it was a lot of spinach, sometimes it was a basket Eggs, sometimes just old hens on a leash.

Ye Heng looked at the old hen, dumbfounded, and felt that killing it was inappropriate, but he didn't know who gave it to him, so he didn't go back, so he simply handed it over to the kitchen staff and let it lay eggs.

The other family's livelihood has been restored, part of the Ye family's shop has reopened, and the dyeing workshop has begun to step up production in order to catch up with some of the orders.

As for the odd business in the shop, it is quite lively, because Ye Heng visited many shops before to buy rain gear and medicinal materials, and thanks to his presence in those shops, they survived the rain disaster safely, so they all came to Ye's shop at this time Ordering new clothes for the Chinese New Year is taking care of the Ye family's business.

Since there is a business, the shop needs someone to manage it. Although Ye Yiheng recovered his health, but after the rain, Ye Heng no longer dared to underestimate his physical condition, so he proposed to take over two of the small shops and started to learn how to run a business .

I don't know if it's because he has learned it spontaneously at this time, or because he was touched by the emperor a few times in the Jinluan Palace, and he found that he didn't understand what he didn't understand before, but now he can understand it, which made him quite confused. sense of accomplishment.But what makes him most happy is that his remarkable ability of "making money and making treasures" seems to have disappeared. Even if he stays in the store every day now, he has never encountered any orders that are outrageously large. It will be a little colder like other houses - but it is still a little warmer than other houses, but Ye Heng attributes this to the good feelings he has accumulated during the rain disaster.

On the day of the winter solstice, Ye Heng went home to eat dumplings, and when he came to the door, he saw that the plaque on the house had been changed, and there were four large characters written on it: "Home of Accumulation of Goodness".

Ye Heng looked at the door and asked, "This is...?"

"It was a gift from the emperor himself!" Menzi looked joyful, "I just hung it up yesterday, thinking that the young master is coming back today, I didn't make a special announcement."

Ye Heng nodded, and stepped into the house with a smile. After walking a few steps, the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a trace of solemnity.

A while ago he planned to come back to see Ye Yiheng, but he always heard that Ye Yiheng was not at home. It is reasonable to say that Ye Yiheng had just recovered from a serious illness and should be raised for a while in winter according to the doctor's advice. This behavior was somewhat abnormal.Now that I was awarded such a plaque, it was not too early or too late. I don't know if my father had already "brought off the merits", so he was "affirmed"?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, thinking that his father must have donated money to the emperor again, so the situation when he was in charge of the store was much more normal.

"Good guess."

Although Ye Yiheng never mentioned the details, he was willing to talk about it in a rough way: "The emperor also specially decreed that we will provide part of the clothing materials for the palace in the future. Your father... hehe, you will be regarded as an imperial merchant in the future!"

Ye Yiheng stared at his flushed cheeks, and suddenly lowered his face: "Father, are you drinking again?"

Ye Yiheng grinned: "One cup, just one cup. Come, eat dumplings, eat dumplings."

"Father, you are serious! The scar is healed and the pain is forgotten!" Ye Heng was so angry that he called the housekeeper and questioned him about the wine.

The three of them huddled at the table for a while before Ye Heng started to eat dumplings. He hummed angrily and threatened while eating, "I tell you, the doctor who usually relieves your pain will go back to his hometown in two days, so you can drink like crazy." , then no one will be able to help you relieve the pain!"

Ye Yiheng had already finished eating the dumplings, and he was leaning on the back of the chair with a stupefied smile on his face: "I don't want to drink anymore, I'll just drink this once... From tomorrow, I'll give you a few days off, you Go find Mr. Gao to play and have a few meals."

Originally, if he didn't say anything, Ye Heng also felt that he was finally cleared of his crimes, so he had to go to Gao Jiayi to thank him, but now that he said it, Ye Heng felt strange: "What are you doing? It will be Mother's Memorial Day in a few days. , I'm not in the mood to play."

"I'll take care of the memorial day." Ye Yiheng turned his head to look at him, his hazy eyes revealed clarity, "Before spring, you are not allowed to go to any remote places."
