Chapter 21 Serving Tea

I heard that General Ye is coming back today, and the gate of Ye Mansion has been crowded with people. Most of them are ordinary people who have heard some rumors in the past few days. Ye Mansion is established with military exploits. Ye Gaojing, the father of Anqi Marquis Ye Yongchang, once fought for the late emperor.

, the former emperor established the dynasty and named him Duke of Anqi. The title of the Ye family is not hereditary. Nowadays, the generals are wary of generals, especially generals like the Ye family who fight against the former emperor. After the death of Duke Anqi, Ye Yongchang inherited the title of marquis.

.If Ye Yongchang's legitimate son cannot be reused by the court in the future, he will have no choice but to inherit the title of earl. In the next two generations, the descendants of the Ye family will be ordinary people. But Ye Yongchang doesn't care about this, and neither does the Ye family. No one can be the ancestor of the ancestors.

Sitting in high positions for generations under the shadow of Ye Yongchang. Even the position of Ninth Five-Year Plan must be able to keep it. Throughout the ages, how many dynasties have changed the history. When the people saw Ye Yongchang's coffin being carried into Ye Mansion, they felt that there were people in the crowd.

bursts of sobs. Some of them are family members of the soldiers who followed Ye Yongchang on the expedition this time, some are scholars full of awe-inspiring righteousness. Some of them heard Ye Ning's righteous words on Taiping Street today and followed the Ye family's troops.

Passers-by returning. When the Ye family went out, there were only about twenty people, but when they came back, there were more than a hundred people. The guards surrounding Ye Mansion first heard the noise in the alley in the distance, and soon saw a large group of people.

Walking towards the gate of Ye Mansion. They were stunned at first, thinking that His Majesty suddenly changed his mind and asked the Prince to escort Ye Yongchang back to the Mansion. However, when the crowd approached and saw clearly that there were no cavalry and the Prince's carriage, they were relieved.

. But then he became extremely confused. What were so many people following behind the Ye family? It would be easy to cause chaos in large numbers. After the Ye family entered, they had to expel this group of people out as soon as possible. When Ye Yongchang’s coffin was carried into the Ye family,

At home, more than a dozen imperial guards stood in a row, with one hand on the hilt of the knife at their waist, and the other hand stopping the people who wanted to continue moving forward. "Stop, don't enter."

"If we don't go in, we'll just wait at the door of Ye Mansion, waiting for General Ye to be settled properly."

An old man with a hoarse voice said. His son is a veteran under Ye Yongchang. Every time his son comes home, he tells them how brave General Ye is and how he protects the troops. He also talks about how wise the eldest daughter of the Ye family is on the battlefield. This old man is today

The first group of people to arrive in the west of the city. He did not believe that Ye Yongchang was a national traitor, so he took his relatives and friends to greet him and see him off. "No, this is a heavily guarded area, so leave quickly."

Another guard said sternly, his tone unquestionable. The crowd of onlookers had just seen the miserable appearance of the Ye family with their own eyes, and saw that the guards in front of them seemed to have no heart, so they couldn't help but complain in a low voice. "General Ye is not a national traitor."

"It makes no sense to arrest someone and seal off their family before the matter is fully investigated."

"The deceased is a big one. There is a funeral in the house and people are surrounding him outside. This is not good."

When a leading imperial guard heard this, he frowned. "Bold! How dare you make such nonsense about His Majesty's decree!"

Many people in the crowd were so frightened that they fell silent. Suddenly a young voice came out. "Your Majesty has always governed the country with benevolence. It is not His Majesty's will not to allow people to mourn the dead. Besides, the palace has issued an order today, and General Ye can go home. You all

If we block it here, are we trying to resist the decree?"

Just when the leader of the Imperial Guard was about to scold someone for being so bold, he saw a young man with an angry face standing in front of the crowd. He was still wearing the clothes of the Imperial College. The Imperial Guard was stunned. The Imperial College is the highest institution of learning in the Yu Kingdom, and students studied here.

Either he is the top genius in various places, or he is the son of a noble family. The former will become the pillar of the country in the future, and the latter has no background. Don't underestimate a student of the Imperial Academy, it is not something that a little imperial guard like them can offend.

"Young Master, this is your Majesty's will..." The guard's expression softened a lot. "Your Majesty's will? Fart!"

Another voice said coldly. The imperial guard turned around and saw another young master with gorgeous clothes and extraordinary temperament. His head suddenly grew bigger. It seemed that he could not afford to offend such a tyrannical master. "General Ye protects the people and brings peace to the people.

, the common people repay their kindness. Are you saying that your Majesty is going to destroy this kind of harmony between the family and the country?"

The student from the Imperial College spoke again. The Imperial Guard wanted to retort a few words, but saw that there were many people in the uniforms of the Imperial College students in the crowd. Your Majesty has always valued scholars, and it would not be good if he had a dispute with them today. An explanation was given. One thing more is worse than one thing less. His Majesty only said that outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave the Ye Mansion. Indeed, he did not issue an order that no one should stand at the door. The leading guard made a sign on his cell phone, and more than a dozen guards dispersed immediately. , returned to the post at the door, pretending that nothing had happened. Ye Yongchang's coffin had been sent to the courtyard for placement. Ye Ningyu took her younger brothers and sisters to the outer courtyard of Ye Mansion. She heard everything that was said outside. Ning Yu's eyes turned red. These old people and students in the capital still felt the pain of their father protecting the people. Why was the prince so cruel when he attacked? Why was the emperor so decisive in his decree? Those in power have no heart. Ye Ningyu was crying in her heart. She was smiling bitterly. She took the Ye family's children to the gate of Ye's family, and saw more than a hundred strangers standing outside the door. Some looked sad, some had red eyes, some were crying softly, and some were trying hard to look in. Ye Ning Yu bowed to the crowd and saluted. "Thank you all, fellow villagers. The weather is sultry. Don't get too sunburned. Please go back."

It was almost noon, and the sun was shining directly above their heads. When the people saw that the eldest daughter of the Ye family was caring about their health even when they were in such grief, they were all moved and unwilling to leave. "We won't leave, we'll stay here.

Send it to General Ye."

"We're not leaving."

"Send to General Ye."

Someone in the crowd expressed their wish. Looking at the people with sincere expressions, Ye Ningyu's nose felt sore. "Thank you very much, folks. The Ye family has nothing to repay. Please accept the great gift from the children of the Ye family."

After saying that, he bowed his head and saluted again. Behind Ye Ningyu, ten younger brothers and sisters all bowed and saluted to the people outside the house. The heat wave at noon hit from time to time, blowing the hems of their clothes. This scene made the people watch.

Their hearts were filled with sadness. This bow also made them feel ashamed. A generation of generals, all loyal to the emperor, their children were well-educated and high-spirited. Will the Ye family decline from now on? When thinking about the fate of the Ye family, the people can't help but feel sad.

She felt pity. Ye Ningyu stood up with tears on her face. She raised her voice hoarsely and said to Ye Anjun behind her, "Ajun, on behalf of your father, serve tea to the villagers!"

It was so hot that the people were staying here, and Ye Ningyu couldn't let them stop talking. After saying that, Ye Ningyu strode towards the inner courtyard and couldn't bear to look anymore. The leader of the Imperial Guard looked at Ye Ningyu's figure,

For some reason, he suddenly felt that his nose was a little sore. He had been working in the palace for many years and had seen so many injustices that his heart had long been ground to stone. Just now, he felt an earthquake involuntarily. Soon, several servants came to him.

The brewed herbal tea was served. Ye Anjun held the cup with both hands and personally delivered the tea to everyone. Every time he served a cup of tea, he raised his hands above his head and bowed respectfully. Everyone knew that this was the prince of the Hou family.
