Chapter 149 A new ghost in Ye Mansion?
Chapter 149 A new ghost in Ye Mansion?
The four people "did not know" these officials. After following the crowd and handing over their gifts and entering the Ye Mansion, they hid in a small corner waiting for the host to come.
Before the banquet started, the Ye family arranged various fruits and snacks.
Ye Xingxin grabbed a handful of melon seeds and shared them with the three of them. While she was eating them, she whispered to the people around her:
"That was the Master Taifu who was tricked by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into worshipping the ant tablet for a long time, and finally fainted from anger after learning the truth, right? He is so pitiful."
The sky curtain moved to Ye Mansion, and Chunyu Taifu, who was watching the sky curtain calmly, said: ...
"Cough cough cough, cough cough..."
Taifu Chunyu choked on a mouthful of tea, and became even more noticeable among his ministers, having already been singled out.
The servants around him were so worried that they patted his back and handed him handkerchiefs, but Master Chunyu pushed them away.
With a red face, he made an excuse of feeling unwell and left the yard to seek refuge.
Ye Shengxin curled her lips and changed her target.
"That must be Lord Xu who often vents his anger in the court. I wonder if the old man's stomach problem has been cured."
"Master Chang, who stood behind him, has endured so much for so many years, and he has really suffered too much."
Xu Zhong: ...
Chang Zunli: ...
The two looked at each other silently, gritting their teeth.
Xu Zhong: This old fellow has become very powerful now. If he moves his butt in the court, he will be hit on the heel.
Now he has a lot of farts to hold in his stomach and he has to go back to let them out. How annoying!
Chang Zunli: I don’t know what this old guy has eaten these days, and his farts are even more smelly.
It gets on my body, and when I get home my wife won't let me go to bed with her, and my concubine also despises me. It's so infuriating!
The two men snorted coldly and turned their faces away, neither of them liking the other.
Ye Xingxin pushed Emperor Jingming and said, "It seems that these two adults have become enemies because of a fart. The old emperor must be to blame for this."
Emperor Jingming was cracking melon seeds, withdrew his suspicious gaze from the two of them, and looked at the many ministers present, narrowing his eyes.
Why do these people look up at the sky from time to time? What is there in the sky?
Emperor Jingming echoed Ye Shengxin and looked up at the sky again.
The sky was clear and cloudless, with only one or two birds flying by occasionally. It was a rather ordinary scene.
Emperor Jingming was cautious and calmly called out Hao Duanzhuang, asking him to investigate the sky over the courtyard.
Hao Duanzhuang flew around and came back to reply:
"The sky is the same, but I can sense the breath of new ghosts here, those who died not long ago."
"I'm sure this ghost has been out of the body for less than five hours."
This aroused the interest of Emperor Jingming, especially since today was the birthday of the Jingzhao Yin and it was too unlucky to encounter a dead person.
Moreover, Mrs. Ye’s happiness yesterday did not seem fake. She certainly did not know that someone had died in the mansion at this time.
Maybe there is some secret in here.
He ordered Hao Duanzhuang: "Go and investigate quickly, and come back immediately after you find out."
Hao Duanzhuang took the order and left.
This scene was broadcast live on the TV screen, and many ministers who saw it looked at each other in bewilderment.
Could there be problems in Lord Ye’s mansion?
They were both suspicious and expectant, and they didn't know what Ye Shengxin would do in their own mansion or at their birthday party after knowing this.
Everyone looked at Ye Shengxin out of the corner of their eyes.
However, Emperor Jingming's actions just now were too covert. If Zhang Liang had not leaned against the skylight, he would not have known about it.
Ye Shengxin got a perfunctory response and stopped talking to Emperor Jingming. He turned around and started chatting with Cui Luoshan on his left.
At the same time, his big eyes looked around.
I just want to meet the protagonists recorded in "Two or Three Things about a Minister" and "Four or Five Things about a Minister".
"I wonder if the adult who likes to wash clothes for General Zhao Zhentian's family has arrived? I must take a good look at this weirdo."
"Luoshan, what do you think of this gentleman? I see that the skin on his hands is clean as if he has been soaked in water for years, and his fingers are thick and strong, so he must have done a lot of work."
The adult that Ye Shengxin secretly pointed at was Nong Minchang. Next to him was Zhao Zhentian. When he was suddenly pointed out, he turned away from the tall man with a gloomy face.
Prevent reputation damage.
Not long after that, Zhao Zhentian, a warrior with a broad mind, let the matter go.
I just didn't expect that even after leaving the court, Lady Ye could still bully the ministers. Her mouth...
Zhao Zhentian laughed, drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, and thought to himself: Forget it.
Cui Luoshan shook his head: "No, I heard someone nearby call him Mr. Nong."
"Is that so?" Ye Shengxin felt a little regretful and turned around to think of something.
"By the way, I heard that the ancestral tomb of the Minister of Justice Zhang was dug up some time ago. After so many days, I wonder if he has repaired the tomb?"
Zhang Liang:......
When the fire came to him, Zhang Liang immediately lost interest in watching the show.
He grabbed a handful of sticky cake from the side and stuffed it into Ye Shengxin's hand.
"Big Duck, this cake is delicious. Eat more of it. Melon seeds are tasteless. Eating too much will cause indigestion."
Ye Shengxin obediently put down the melon seeds and started eating the cake.
With the cake filling his mouth, and without Ye Shengxin's chattering, the sky became quiet for a moment.
Master Tongshan, who was in disguise, silently withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked towards the courtyard in the northeast that was exuding yin energy.
After a while, he lowered his head, clasped his hands together, and whispered:
"Amitabha."
Prime Minister Shangguan was standing next to Master Tongshan. Seeing the master's appearance and considering what Hao Duanzhuang had just said, he asked with concern:
"Master, what happened in the Ye Mansion?"
Master Tongshan smiled and said, "It's OK. It's just that some people don't believe what I said about Lord Ye's fate and want to take the risk."
Prime Minister Shangguan:!!!
He inhaled: "This person is quite courageous."
Master Tongshan nodded: "Yes, it is indeed quite big."
"But after today, they should give up."
"Then I'll wait and see."
Old Mrs. Ye came wearing new clothes, bringing Ye Wanqiu and Ye Zhengyao who was in a wheelchair.
Although the butler had reported earlier that there were many guests today, even many officials from the court had come.
Old Mrs. Ye had not seen much of the world, so it took her some time to prepare herself mentally.
But when she suddenly entered the courtyard and saw the yard full of colorful flowers, willows, and tall hats, Old Mrs. Ye was still shocked.
Surprised, she muttered to herself that the current emperor's aesthetic taste was truly extraordinary.
Look at this rainbow of colors, it almost dazzled her old eyes.
Ye Zhengyao was also shocked.
That troublesome person of his even dared to contradict his son, an official of moderate importance.
So many ministers came to congratulate me at my birthday party. Is it true that there is no hope for me to make further progress in my official position in this life, just as my fortune had predicted?
I saw the Prime Minister introduced by the butler, the head of all officials.
Being greeted with a smile made Ye Zhengyao's legs go weak.
He suddenly had the urge to stop his wife. Perhaps, he had made a mistake in the beginning.
Seeing Ye Zhengyao's retreat, Ye Wanqiu, with a dignified and smiling face, warned in a low voice with cold eyes:
"Master, once you start, you can't go back."
"Sheng Qing's life and death depends on today, and the future glory of the Ye Mansion also depends on today."
"You, me, we can only move forward."
These words were like a bucket of cold water that woke Ye Zhengyao up.
He held the wheelchair armrest tightly with his fingers, muttering with a sullen face:
"You're right, we can only move forward."
"If anyone wants to blame someone, it can only be blamed on Sheng Xin's incompetence. The future of the Ye family cannot rely on her."
