After leaving the palace, Li Xin did not go home, nor did he go to Princess Qinghe's mansion, but went to Chen Guogong's mansion and found Old Man Ye.

This time, Marquis Li had a lot of conscience, brought two large altars to toast the wine, and came to meet him with a smile.

It can't be helped, after all, there is a request for people.

He apprenticed to Ye Sheng before, although the two of them are indeed a master-apprentice relationship, but they are more like a pair of allies who have forgotten their years, but if Ye Sheng is willing to be the elder of Li Xin at the wedding, then Ye Sheng is equivalent to publicly saying that Li Xin is his junior, and outsiders can't move.

It's very different from before.

Now Li Xin comes to Chen Guogong's Mansion more than his own home, and no one in Chen Guogong's Mansion doesn't recognize him, and he doesn't even need to report it, so he went directly into the backyard and knocked on Old Man Ye's courtyard door.

"Who?"

Li Xin smiled: "Teacher, the disciple has brought you wine." ”

After a while, the courtyard door was opened by Ye Sheng, who looked suspicious, and Old Man Ye looked at the two jars of wine in Li Xin's hand, sniffed it with his nose, and the suspicion on his face became even heavier.

"You kid, what are you holding back?"

Li Xin pushed the door with a smile and walked in, put the two jars of wine on the table, and said with a straight face: "Master Ye, your old man has a deep misunderstanding of his disciples, and it is a matter of course for disciples to be filial to their teachers, why am I suffocating when I send two jars of wine to your old man?" ”

Ye Sheng sneered: "You guy, I haven't brought anything to the old man for a long time." ”

Li Xin gave him a blank look.

"Last year, when did a disciple come to the door without bringing anything?"

"At that time, you had a request for the old man, and you were holding back the bad in your heart."

Marquis Li's face darkened.

After getting along for a long time, the old man got to know himself better and better.

He coughed a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, that's right."

Li Xin let out a long sigh: "The situation of the disciple, Master Ye, you are also clear, my father died early, my mother was also gone a few years ago, and the disciple has no relatives except for Master Ye, and there are no more elders." ”

As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine for Old Man Ye.

"Every time the disciple thinks about this, he feels miserable."

Ye Sheng glared at Li Xin angrily.

"There is something to say, there is a fart, you kid has bad water in his stomach, don't think about coaxing the old man."

"Then the disciple will speak directly."

Li Xin blinked.

"The disciple will marry the princess next month, but there are no relatives at home, so I wonder if I can let Master Ye come forward and be the elder on the man's side."

Ye Sheng glanced at Li Xin and was silent.

Speaking of this, Li Xin smiled awkwardly: "The disciple is just mentioning this, Master Ye has not shown up for decades, and it is normal not to go out." ”

Old man Ye beckoned to Li Xin and motioned for him to sit down and speak.

Li Xin sat next to Ye Sheng obediently.

Old man Ye patted Li Xin's shoulder and let out a long sigh: "Chang'an, you are too careful in your life. ”

"The old man is your master, and there is no difference between him and your father, even if you don't say it, the old man also wants to drink your daughter-in-law's tea, so there is no need to be so cautious."

"Ye Sheng is a rough man, there are not so many twists and turns in his heart, since he recognizes you as an apprentice, he really regards you as a son, and when he talks to the old man about this kind of thing, he still needs to talk about it so carefully?"

The reason for this, Li Xin has no choice.

In a word, his foundation is too shallow.

From the time he worked in the court, to now, it has only been two years, and within two years, he now seems to be in a high position, but in fact he is an empty shell, and there is no foundation behind it, so no matter what he does, he has to be careful and walk slowly step by step.

The reason why he talked to Ye Sheng like this was not because he was scheming, but because he was afraid that Ye Sheng would not recognize him.

Only by saying it in a half-joking way like this, even if Ye Sheng is unwilling, he can laugh it off, and the relationship with the Ye family will not be broken.

Hearing Old Man Ye's words, Li Xin was a little touched, and he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Thank you Master Ye." ”

Ye Sheng sighed slowly.

"It's hard for you."

Li Xin didn't speak, just lowered his head and poured a full glass of wine for Ye Sheng, then poured a full glass for himself, stood up, raised his glass to Ye Sheng, raised his head and drank it all.

Ye Sheng also picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Li Xin had a smile on his face.

"Master Ye is a lover."

Ye Sheng put down the wine glass, glanced at Li Xin, and scolded with a smile: "What are you doing in a daze, pour wine for Lao Tzu." ”

Jing Anhou immediately poured another cup for Ye Sheng.

Old man Ye looked at the small wine glass and frowned.

"This thing looks like it's used by girls, who put it in the old man's yard? Go, change the bowl. ”

Li Xin smiled and said, "Master Ye, don't make trouble, you can't drink more." ”

Old Man Ye's eyes widened.

"You bad thing, the old man just answered your business, and you turned your face and didn't recognize people, didn't you?"

The master and apprentice chatted for a while, and Ye Sheng finally put down the wine glass under Li Xin's persuasion and asked: "If you need help in preparing for the marriage in your house, just open your mouth, and the old man will ask someone from the Ye family to give you a hand." ”

"Not really."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said: "Now that the holy decree of marriage has not come down, we can't prepare it with great fanfare, so as not to be disrespectful to the first emperor, and when the holy decree of His Majesty's marriage comes down next month, I really have to ask the people of the Ye family to help, otherwise the people in the disciple's mansion may not be able to prepare properly." ”

The mourning period of the first emperor is less than a year, and marriage can never be mentioned, so only after the tenth day of the lunar month, the marriage between Li Xin and the ninth princess can be mentioned on the table, which means that they have less than half a month of preparation time, which is very hasty.

Ye Sheng nodded.

"When the time comes, just squeak, you have no relatives in the capital, and the Ye family is your relatives."

At this time, Li Xin had already put away the wine glass and placed a game of chess on the table.

Old man Ye is illiterate, and he is not interested in the complicated game of Go, but he is very fascinated by chess, and often pulls Li Xin for an afternoon.

Li Xin sat opposite Ye Sheng, took the lead in the first move, then looked up at Old Man Ye, and said with a smile: "That's it, the disciple still wants to gnaw at Master Ye's old man." ”

Ye Sheng moved the cannon and glanced at Li Xin.

"Ye Ming is in your forbidden army?"

"Yes, I am familiar with the forbidden army accompanied by the adjutant general, so that it can be used in the future."

On the chessboard, the two of them constantly deployed troops.

"I don't know the rules."

Old man Ye frowned while eating one of Li Xin's soldiers: "No matter what, the forbidden army is led by you Li Changan, and Ye Ming is occupying the magpie's nest like this, it's too unusual." ”

Li Xin smiled.

"It's not in the way, this forbidden army is not a disciple's, senior brother, he also thinks it's wrong, it's the disciple who is busy going back to Beijing to arrange marriage, so he left his senior brother there."

"And as a senior brother, he can't look down on the right battalion of the forbidden army, and the disciple is not worried about losing his errand in the future."

After saying this, Li Xin took advantage of Old Man Ye's stunned time to knock out Old Man Ye's car with a cannon.

The old guy blew his beard angrily and glared.

"You thief boy, deliberately disturb Lao Tzu's mind, put it back quickly, Lao Tzu will regret his chess!"

Li Xin shook his head resolutely.

"Master Ye, there are no regrets."

Old man Ye raised his casserole-sized fist without hesitation.

Li Xin glanced at him faintly and obediently put his car back.

This old man, the chess quality is too bad......
