I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 860 Determination and Sobriety

Yang Xi and his wife are very patient now. The news this time proves that their deduction is correct. They weave a big net secretly, just waiting for the time to catch them all.

The third snowfall of this winter came, and the Ye family and Wu family finally arrived in the capital. Ye Shun went to Beijing to rest for a day, and was called into the palace the next day, and did not come out of the palace until the afternoon.

When Ye Shun returned home, he handed over a greeting card to the Duke's Mansion, and Ye Shun and his wife came to visit the next day.

Yang Xi and his wife greeted me at the gate of the house, and Ye Shun said, "It's so cold, why did you pick me up in person?"

Zhou Yu wore thick clothes, "You are an old friend, so naturally you have to greet him in person. After all, you walked northward really slowly. I don't know how many hardships you have suffered along the way."

Ye Shun could hear his concern, and he said cheerfully, "We didn't suffer anything."

Yang Xi talked to Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang said that she went back to her ancestral home to pay respects to her ancestors. "The old man passed away. I heard from the people that he died two days before he was discovered."

Yang Xi looked at Ye Shun who was walking in front. Ye Shun's back was bent badly, and his whole body was getting older, "Brother Ye is in good health this way?"

Zhang's eyes were full of worry, "His stomach has not recovered after many years of recuperation, and he got sick for a while because of his stomach discomfort."

Zhang didn't hide it for her husband. Every time she saw her husband suffering, she felt like a knife was piercing her heart. She was really afraid that her husband would leave her first.

Yang Xi patted Zhang Shi's hand, Zhang Shi had been separated from Ye Shun for many years, and insisted on forcing herself to become a strong woman. These years, Zhang Shi has been very difficult.

When the group arrived at the greenhouse, Ye Shun looked at the rare vegetables in the greenhouse, "Vegetables are rarely seen in the Northeast, and I haven't eaten any vegetables since the beginning of winter."

Zhou Yu had noticed Ye Shun's pale face a long time ago, "Don't even think about eating, it's better to find an imperial doctor to take care of your body first."

Ye Shun sat on the chair, looked at the boiled water in front of him, "Tsk, I can't even drink tea after drinking alcohol."

Zhou Yu held up the glass, "I also drink plain water with you."

Ye Shun raised his hand to touch his stomach. He was hungry when he was a spy in the north, and now he can only eat light food. His mouth now smells of medicinal food, "I can't eat delicious food recklessly, I'm missing too much happiness .”

Mrs. Zhang felt uncomfortable when she heard this, "I stopped you from eating, and I won't complain if I'm not."

As soon as Ye Shun heard his wife start crying, he hurriedly said, "I didn't mention you, but you reacted so strongly."

Mrs. Zhang didn't want to be ashamed, but she was really afraid that her husband would not cherish her health, so she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and ignored him.

Ye Shun rubbed his nose, then quickly changed the subject, "Guess what the emperor said when he called me into the palace?"

Yang Xi and his wife are very smart people, the couple had a guess, Zhou Yu answered, "But to accompany the prince?"

Ye Shun gave a thumbs up, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, the emperor wants my eldest grandson to accompany the prince to read."

His eldest grandson was at a good age, and he could not be younger than the prince, nor could he be much older. His grandson was born at the right age in the fifth year of troubled times.

Yang Xi pointed out, "The emperor always remembers Brother Ye's contribution."

Ye Shun moved the emperor to always remember him, "The Ye family has received a lot of favors, I know the emperor wants to keep the Ye family rich, but the emperor has arranged for Qiheng, I refused the companionship."

The emperor can think of his kindness, but he can't keep up with everything, otherwise he will make progress without knowing how to advance or retreat.

Zhou Yu was not surprised. If he really accepted the quota, Brother Ye should stay at home at this time instead of visiting the Duke's mansion openly. Today's trip is also to tell everyone that the prince will accompany the Ye family to study with him. It doesn't matter.

Ye Shun continued with lingering fear: "Although I'm not in the capital, I also know that the bloody storm caused by the crown prince's accompanying reading, the Ye family's foundation is weak and its steel and iron bones cannot withstand calculations."

Zhou Yu doesn't pay attention to the quota competition, he can still hear all kinds of news, "Recently, the imperial court has been fiercely contested, and several officials have been demoted."

Ye Shun patted his chest, "Fortunately, I didn't agree, it's not easy for Qiheng today."

Zhou Yu laughed, "I'm taking care of Qiheng, what else do you have to worry about?"

Ye Shun shook his head, "The tiger still has time to take a nap."

Zhou Yu was right when he thought about it. If he really wanted to plot against Qi Heng, he would be hard to guard against. At the same time, he also admired Ye Shun's calmness.

Ye Shun and his wife didn't leave until it was dark, and then they began to stay behind closed doors. The reason was that Ye Shun needed to recuperate.

Yang Xixuan sent the imperial physician to deliver medicine several times, but he never called Ye Shun again.

The Wu family is much more lively than the Ye family. The Wu family is thriving, and Zilu and Yang Jin are also willing to go to the Wu family to play.

Lu and Yang Jin didn't go to Wu's house these days. They had an appointment with Han Chenhui's eldest son, and they wanted to experience the fun of ice fishing.

Yang Xi went shopping with Zhou Ran, who had a rare rest, and saw that the New Year was approaching, and the merchants in the capital bought a lot of New Year's goods.

Yang Xi wanted to choose some good things as a New Year's gift, and the two sisters-in-law brought enough money to go out.

Zhou Ran talked about the envoys from various countries, "They can stay. They have never planned to leave this time when they came to Beijing. I think they want to stay permanently."

Yang Xi thought that this time when various countries came to Beijing to congratulate the country, the envoys from various countries were not in a hurry to leave the capital because of Hulechina's attack on the country of Hua. They did not leave until Hulechina was defeated.

Yang Xi heard the emperor talk about the requests of the envoys from various countries, "They really want to stay in the capital."

Jiaozhou is not the capital of the country, so countries have not sent envoys to stay permanently. Now moving back to the capital has a different meaning.

Soon the carriage arrived at the commercial street, the capital was rebuilt and the area was re-planned, and the street where the aunt and sister-in-law came was mostly foreign goods.

However, after the defeat of Hule China, some foreigners felt guilty, and the court did not allow preaching, so many foreigners left in winter, and many shops sold hoarded goods.

Fortunately, the aunt and sister-in-law are aiming at the shops in the surrounding small countries, and they want to buy some medicinal materials such as ginseng.

Following the defeat of Hulechina, the court's use of troops against the various tribes in the Northeast was smoother than expected. The people of the various tribes who were originally tempted by the captives in the capital completely surrendered to the Hua Kingdom this time.

Now the northeast garrison is cooperating with the officials sent by the imperial court to gather the people of various tribes.

For this reason, the imperial court also transferred a batch of grain to the northeast border, because many people of the northeast tribes were too miserable, and if the imperial court could survive the winter, there were not many.

The news that the Hua Kingdom will be merged into the lands of various tribes in the Northeast spread in the nearby small countries, which also affected the small countries. They sent people to Beijing again before the New Year, and the accompanying merchants also brought a lot of medicinal materials.

Yang Xi and Zhou Ran bought five large boxes of ginseng, and they bought a lot of medicinal materials and left.

When the aunt and sister-in-law went to other commercial streets in a carriage, but before they reached their destination, the soldiers and horses who managed the security of the capital gathered outside a restaurant.

Yang Xi opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the restaurant. Seeing that the law and order was strictly enforced during the New Year's Eve, he didn't know who caused the soldiers to surround the restaurant.

Just as Yang Xi was about to put down the curtain of the carriage, he saw more than a dozen people with bruised noses and swollen faces walking out of the restaurant, two of whom Yang Xi knew very well!
