Ye Heng heard "don't care" and "no" from his father all day long, and a few words from him made a good meal tasteless.

He thought that the relationship between himself and his father was really not close. Ye Yiheng often thought that he was not independent enough, but he refused to talk to him and treated him like a child. Only when Ye Yiheng was in poor health a while ago was he willing to talk to him. A few heartfelt truths—really, how could anyone be so wary of his son?

Ye Heng was full, so he ate a few mouthfuls and went back to his room to rest.

The next day he got up early, went home and changed into a good set of clothes, then picked out two jars of good wine from Ye Yiheng and put them in the car, then went to the shop to get two good-looking white fox fur cloaks. There are two types, one male and one female, and they were taken to Gaofu together in a brocade box.

"Thanks to Brother Gao who has been taking care of me during the rain disaster and has been helping me in many ways." Ye Heng cheerfully saluted Gao Jiayi, and then asked Zhaocai to display the gifts and introduce them to him one by one, "These two jars For wine, the jar on the left is Sangluo wine, which is said to be made with the secret recipe of brewing that has been handed down for nine generations; on the right is lychee wine, which can nourish qi and blood, and drink it for women to keep their appearance beautiful. There are also these two cloaks , Brother Gao and sister-in-law each have one piece, wouldn’t it be beautiful to walk in the snow and enjoy the plum blossoms in winter?”

"Brother Xian is really out of touch, hurry up and sit down and drink tea!" Gao Jiayi happily accepted the gift, smiled and served tea, then turned to Ye Heng and said, "Miao Miao doesn't know how to appreciate plum blossoms, but she is still very happy." She likes to go out and play, I just gave her a pair of sheepskin boots two days ago, the color of this cloak really matches, she must be happy to see it."

Ye Heng also laughed, and sighed sincerely: "You and sister-in-law are so close, when can you give me a glass of wedding wine?"

He felt that the marriage between the two was probably coming soon—generally speaking, except for the child bride, the engaged young daughter-in-law would not just live in the groom-to-be's house, unless something happened at home, the natal family would send the daughter Entrusted to the husband's family.According to local customs, the two people who are engaged also need to keep a certain distance. If they want to live together in a legitimate way, they must have a happy event early.The reason why we didn't do it before was probably because of the rain disaster.

Sure enough, Gao Jiayi told him: "Next year's spring test, I'll be the next one."

Ye Heng nodded: "This day is chosen reasonably, double happiness! By the way, did you release the rankings for the test? I have been spending my days in the store to settle accounts, and I haven't paid attention to this important event."

"Let it go, brother, I won the No.5 award!"

Gao Jiayi is not a conceited person, but when he talked about his good grades, he couldn't help but raise his chin, showing a rare look of youthful complacency.

The two were talking, when the window was opened suddenly, and a head stuck in, it was Miaomiao: "Where's Bailong? Why didn't he come today?"

This question pierced Ye Heng's heart, and he was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Miaomiao continued: "Last time he agreed to think about how Shuanglu played with me last time, and I prepared delicious food for him."

It was Gao Jiayi who saw the way, took the girl's white fox fur cape and walked to the window: "Of course I didn't come because I couldn't get away because I had something to do. I'll play with you when I'm free, okay?"

Miaomiao leaned on the window sill and shook her head: "You are too good at playing, we are not strong enough...We are evenly matched."

"Okay, okay, next time I will hand over the greeting card to Ye Mansion, and take you directly to Bailong, is that okay?"

Miao Miao nodded: "You promised, don't go back on your word."

"Of course." Gao Jiayi gave her the cloak, "Ye Heng gave it to you, since you're here, take it."

Miaomiao opened the box and was immediately attracted, she said to Ye Heng, "Mr. Ye, thank you!"

Gao Jiayi looked at her with a helpless smile: "You are really, what was it like to be jealous of them before, but now you only want to play with them, so you are not afraid of me being jealous?"

"Then you eat." Miao Miao hooked Gao Jiayi's neck through the window, and kissed him hard on the mouth, "Anyway, the way I play with them is different from the way I play with you."

Gao Jiayi's face turned red like a pomegranate flower: "Hey, Brother Ye is still here, don't say that casually."

Miaomiao ignored him, and trotted briskly with her cloak in her arms, and disappeared after a few steps.

Gao Jiayi closed the window, and when he walked back to his seat, he was very embarrassed, rubbed his hands together, and looked at Ye Heng hesitantly.

On the other hand, Ye Heng, who was interrupted by Miao Miao, regained his composure, and lightly touched Gao Jiayi's shoulder with his fist with a smile: "I really envy you, my sister-in-law is not only beautiful, but also open-minded."

Gao Jiayi sighed deliberately: "I envy you too, sometimes mystery also has the benefits of mystery."

"Mysterious..." Ye Heng pursed his lips, and suddenly looked tired.

Gao Jiayi knew that there must be some reason why Bailong didn't follow Ye Heng, but Ye Heng didn't take the initiative to tell, and it was inconvenient for him to ask, so he patted Ye Heng on the shoulder: "Okay! You brought good wine, Let's just go out for activities and find a place to drink and eat meat."

Ye Heng's thoughts were chaotic, and he wanted to relax, so he hit it off and rode out together.

Ye Heng rode the horse with no purpose in mind, just followed Gao Jiayi, the two chatted and walked, and left the central street without knowing it, and walked to a river in the city.

The two were thirsty, so they got off their horses, looking for a place to get some food, and by the way let the servants who had been following them rest together.Gao Chiayi was familiar with this place, there was a shop selling hot food, he led Ye Heng, weighed the wine jar up to the second floor, ordered a portion of boiled mutton, and sent someone over to warm the wine.

During the waiting time, Ye Heng looked out from the half-opened window and glanced randomly.

More than a month after the rain disaster, the river water finally recovered to a level that was no longer worrying. People began to walk around, but not too many, because it was cold, and people who were not out to make a living generally refused to go to the streets.

Looking across the river and the stone bridge, Ye Heng suddenly noticed an iron sword hanging under the bridge, so he asked casually, "Hey, who hung the sword there?"

Gao Jiayi happened to know it, so he replied, "It was hung by a Taoist priest in a nearby Taoist temple. They said it was a demon-suppressing sword."

"Suppressing monsters?" Ye Heng's heart trembled when he heard the word "monster", "Where did the monsters come from in our capital?"

Gao Jiayi said lightly: "It may not be that there are demons, but the rain disaster was too scary before, so there must be something to blame. Monsters are the best. Anyway, the Taoist chief said it was to calm down , that is to calm down."

Ye Heng remained silent, but his heart became clear like a mirror.The emperor was dressed and dressed that day, and he must have just finished offering sacrifices.In every calamity year, the emperor needs to offer sacrifices in order to seek forgiveness from God, but it has another meaning when the words are spoken by others.In order to stabilize the imperial power, after such a catastrophe, the palace must be held accountable, if it is not corrupt officials, it is the illusory demon.

But does this have anything to do with Bailong?

Ye Heng thought about it, and then asked again: "What kind of powerful goblin can hold this pot? Wang Bacheng can't rain to such an extent, right?"

"Evil Jiao." Gao Jiayi waited impatiently for the food, and looked towards the stairs with his head propped up. "The legend goes that Jiao Chenglong means that after a thousand years of practice, Jiao will come from the mountain during the rainy season in order to become a dragon. Swimming out of deep pools and lakes, bringing floods, wherever they go, farmhouses and bridges will be washed away, and the hanging sword is to kill the evil dragon."

"Behead? Evil Jiao?" Ye Heng's eyes widened, "Isn't Jiaolong similar to a dragon? It's just one finger less than a dragon. Isn't the prince's clothes embroidered with Jiaolong? How could he be regarded as a goblin? ?”

The warm wine was brought to the table. Gao Jiayi first poured him a glass, and then poured himself a glass: "Well, there are different opinions in different places. The kind of Jiao you mentioned is a kind, they say Jiao is another kind, with many fingers on the claws, but two less than dragons, and no horns on its head, it is bald. Compared with dragons, it should be more like snakes."

Ye Heng felt a chill in his heart, and secretly pinched his wrists under the table—isn't this image similar to the one Bai Long showed him?No wonder the national teacher didn't recognize him as a dragon, and blamed him for causing the rain disaster.So Bai Long was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he lied to himself that he belonged to the dragon?

Perhaps his expression seemed to be frightened, Gao Jiayi knocked on the table with his hand, and laughed a little teasingly: "My dear brother, why do you take it seriously? This sword was hung after the rain stopped. Those who are probably It’s their nonsense, just forget it after hearing it. When I was in the Northwest, there was not much rain for half a year, and the temples built by the locals were all gods like Thunder God and Goddess, Dragon King, etc., and they worshiped every now and then. I just hope they will rain more to plant land!"

Hearing Gao Jiayi's words, Ye Heng felt much more relieved, and while answering a few times, drank some wine.The taste of the wine is mellow and fragrant, with a long aftertaste, it really is the best, no wonder Ye Yiheng loves it so much.

Soon the cauldron of mutton was also served on the table, and the room was steaming and very warm for a while. The two of them ate the lamb and drank sorghum wine. They are very winking, and have already driven the idlers down the stairs, so they don't need to hide.

"Before you said that the emperor is going to use the surveillance censor and the Yin family to operate, when will it be done?" Ye Heng was drunk, and said with a pink face, "Their family is really annoying. You also have grievances with several companies, why haven't you fallen?"

"Maybe...the timing hasn't come yet." Gao Jiayi blew on the sliced ​​meat dipped in sesame sauce, "Their family has a relationship with the Northwest, and the Northwest began to collapse, so their family can move."

"Ah?" Ye Heng didn't know what to do, "Isn't the ones in the Northwest bigger than the supervisory censor? Shouldn't they be dealt with first, so that the Northwest can be restricted?"

"Good brother, you don't understand." Gao Jiayi raised a finger and shook it in front of Ye Heng, "The tree falls and the monkeys scatter... To catch the thieves, first capture the king, first get rid of the big ones, and the small ones see the situation." If it’s not good, it will naturally weaken your legs. On the contrary, it will scare the snake away, and you will lose the opportunity.”

Ye Heng blinked, and nodded half-understanding: "Well... when will the northwest side fall?"
