Tibet

Li Ye returned to his yard. The snow was getting heavier and heavier. He simply sat cross-legged on the corridor and admired the heavy snow dancing in the sky.

Xiaohong obediently brought him a cup of hot tea. Li Ye glanced at her and said with a smile, "Where's that plate of mung bean cakes?"

The young lady blushed and muttered in a low voice, "I bought that with my own money."

She ran back to the house and brought out the snacks. Only then did she realize that she was talking to Qingyu in the afternoon, and it turned out that the young master had seen it.

Li Ye laughed, picked up a piece of mung bean cake and started to eat it. He didn't eat lunch and was really hungry.

Li Ye took a sip of tea and asked: "Qingyu said that except for the master who is not very good, everything else is fine. What does this mean? Is she talking about me?"

Xiaohong nodded, "She has a deep prejudice against the young master. She said that the young master bullied her and had a notorious reputation."

"What does it mean to be notorious?" Li Ye asked again.

Xiaohong lowered her head and said, "That's right. It just doesn't have a good reputation."

"What's wrong with my reputation?"

Xiaohong pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "Actually, I don't know either. I just know that the young master has a nickname. They told me."

"What nickname?" Li Ye asked with interest.

"It's called Jizo Demon!"

This nickname is very elegant. It sounds similar to Voldemort. It was probably Zhang Qian who came up with it. Others worship Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but he himself is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

"Then are you scared?"

"I don't know, I feel okay! At least it's been an afternoon and I haven't been beaten yet."

Li Ye laughed loudly and patted her little face, "Go! I didn't have lunch, find me something to eat, or I'll finish all your pastries, then you should cry." "

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Xiao Hong was like a frightened deer, ‘Whoosh! ’ She ran out, and when she reached the entrance of the courtyard, she turned back and said, “Master, please eat all the cakes! I won’t cry.”

Li Ye waved his hand, "Go quickly!"

Xiaohong ran to the kitchen, and Li Ye smiled and said, "She's really cute and silly!"

In the evening, Li Dai returned home despite the heavy snow. When he heard that his son had arrived home, he hurriedly ran to the backyard.

In the corridor, Xiao Hong was washing Li Ye's hair. Suddenly she saw the master running in. She was startled and a little at a loss. Li Dai quickly waved his hands and smiled: "It's okay! It's okay! Keep going."

He suddenly said worriedly: "Ye'er, isn't it cold to wash your hair here?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "It's nothing. Daddy, go sit in the room for a while. I'll be fine soon!"

Li Dai nodded and went into the room first. Li Ye washed his hair with clean water, and Xiao Hong wiped his hair dry with a dry towel and tied it into a knot.

Li Ye walked into the room and asked with a smile: "How is your father doing at Jingzhao Mansion during this period?"

"It's not bad, just a little busy. Xianyu Zhongtong is busy with socializing all day long and leaves everything to me. Actually, it's not bad. I'm just afraid that he will interfere randomly."

Speaking of this, Li Dai quickly asked: "How is the situation in Heyang?"

"Is there no news from the court?"

Li Dai shook his head, "There is no news. Li Xiu came to see me today. He said that he had been suffering from insomnia for a few days and was in panic all day long. But your grandfather was very calm and didn't take it seriously at all!"

Li Ye smiled and said: "Because I went there, my grandfather doesn't have to worry. He knows that I can handle it well!"

"Then it should end well!"

"How should I put it? Li Yu's biggest crime has been found out. He has nothing to do with the massacre of farmers. It was done by someone who bribed Wang Shen, a gangster in Wangwushan, in order to frame him. But he can't escape the responsibility of concealing it from the court. Zheng Ang is now Seize this point to make a fuss, saying that Li Xiu instigated his son to conceal it from the court, and tried every means to drag Li Xiu down."

Li Dai gave a wry smile, "The third eldest brother Li Yu and the second eldest child Li Wei were both demoted and became pension officials. I guess Li Xiu is about the same. I heard that Yang Guozhong has prepared to transfer Li Xiu to serve as a guest of the crown prince. In name, he will be promoted one level. In fact, he will be promoted to one level. He is a retired official, but if he is implicated by his son, I am afraid he will not be able to serve as a guest of the prince. Your father told me that as long as the father and son do not die, it does not matter what official he is."

"Grandpa, just be open-minded!"

Li Dai frowned and said, "Who wants to frame Li Yu?"

Li Ye said calmly: "There will be no one except the Yuwen family, but they changed their names and didn't leave any evidence!"

"I'm just afraid that the Yuwen family won't give up!"

"Their next target will definitely be my father, and they will use Yu Wenluo and Yuwen Huaide. My father must be firm and must not be weak."

"Don't mention it!"

Li Dai said angrily: "Two days ago, Yu Wenluo came to my official office and cried and made a fuss. He said that he would be my concubine and asked me to take her in again. I was so annoyed that I asked the government officials to drag her out."

This kind of thing is really troublesome. Li Ye thought for a while and said: "Father, it is best to write a letter to the emperor, asking the emperor to restrain the Yuwen family. Don't let Yuwenluo make trouble. Let the emperor know in advance that such a thing is happening. If Yuwenluo happens, Even if he dies, the emperor will not blame his father for his sins."

Li Dai nodded, "What you said makes sense. I will write a memorial tomorrow and ask Gao Lishi to hand it to the emperor."

After hesitating once, Li Dai asked again: "Do you think Yuwenluo's coming to cause trouble was deliberately arranged by the Yuwen family?"

"Probably not. Li Yu's matter is not over yet. They won't be so impatient. She probably made the trouble herself."

At this moment, Butler Liu hurriedly ran over and said, "Sir, the former Mrs. Yuwen came to make trouble. She made a big fuss in front of the house and was looking for death. Madam rushed out with a sword."

Li Dai's face turned pale with fright, and he trembled quickly: "Ye'er, hurry up and stop your mother, she will kill someone if she gets angry!"

Li Ye got up and ran towards the door of the mansion.

There were still dozens of steps away from the door of the mansion, when Yu Wenluo was heard crying and begging, "My wife of the Pei family, Mrs. Pei, please have mercy on me! I didn't want to betray Da Lang, I was forced by my father to remarry. As long as you take me in, I am willing to be your concubine and work as a cow and a horse to serve you. I promise not to touch your husband. I only want a status and a place to eat and retire. We are both women, so you can pity me! "

Li Ye ran to the door. The scene before him made him angry and funny. He saw Yu Wenluo wearing only a white inner skirt and a few sticks of firewood on his back. He was kneeling on the snow with disheveled hair, covered with a layer of snow, crying. He kowtowed and begged, while his mother leaned against the door, folded her hands on her chest, and looked coldly at this evil woman who had harmed her for fourteen years, completely unmoved.

Pei Sanniang said coldly: "You go back and live a good life! I know you are rich and have a son. Please don't disturb us anymore. You are the daughter of a famous family after all. After all, after the Northern Zhou royal family, kneeling here will make the whole Chang'an people laugh. !”

When Yu Wenluo saw that her soft trick failed and the other party didn't buy it at all, her eyebrows gradually rose and she tore off the firewood from her back. She stood up abruptly, put one hand on her hips and pointed at Pei Sanniang with the other and cursed loudly.

"You are a bitch, you seduced my husband in Hexi, you were unruly, and you got pregnant before we were married. You are a bitch. How many men did you support in Yonghefang? Now you are occupying my husband and bullying our mother and son. You still have the nerve to come out to see me. .”

Pei Sanniang was so angry that she trembled all over and rushed forward with her sword, "I'll kill you, this shameless and despicable woman!"

Li Ye rushed up and kicked Yu Wenluo down the steps, allowing her to escape Pei Sanniang's angry sword.

Li Ye stopped his mother, "Mom, she just wants you to kill her and then harm our family. Don't fall into her trap!"

Pei Sanniang's eyes burst out with hatred, "Listen to what she was scolding me just now? She called me a prostitute from Yonghefang. Don't stop me. I will kill this despicable woman today!"

"Mom, you can also scold her. She is Hou Mochennu's widow. Her husband has just died and his body is still cold, so she comes to snatch other people's husbands. Look at her, she smells of alcohol, is old and ugly, such a woman, daddy Even if I were blind, I wouldn’t want her!”

Li Ye's words were so sharp that they were like countless knives stabbing Yu Wenluo's heart. Yu Wenluo shouted, "Little bastard, I will fight with you!"

She opened her hands, her hair disheveled, and rushed toward Li Ye like a hag.

At this time, the servants and wives in the mansion took action one after another, rushing forward to grab Yu Wenluo and persuade her to go back.

Yu Wenluo jumped up and down like a toad, cursing Pei Sanniang and her son. Li Ye had already pulled his mother back, and letting her scream outside would only bring shame to the Yuwen family.

At this time, a carriage came quickly, ‘Gah! ’ He stopped and Yuwen Huaide jumped out of the carriage with a gloomy face, rushed forward, grabbed his mother’s arm, and slapped her hard several times.

Yu Wenluo was suddenly too frightened to say anything. Yu Wen Huaide dragged his mother into the carriage, ‘Bang! ’ He closed the door and the carriage sped away. Neighbors were standing around, all talking about it.
