In August of the fifth year of Shaoxi, Lin'an, the sun was scorching above his head and the streets were crowded with people. This was a prosperous scene that could make people stay in it and forget the era.

The hawking sounds on the Imperial Street, the guests who keep flowing in various shops, the sedan chairs and carriages coming and going, the comfortable and satisfied smiles of red men and green women, and the elegance and romantic literati will temporarily forget the troubles and sorrows hidden in their hearts. Similarly, Ye Qing, who is in it, completely blurs the background of the great era.

I don’t know when, even Ye Qing’s dream, people, things, things, and people and things from later generations rarely appear again. In contrast, everything in later generations becomes more and more distant and blurry, and sometimes even gives him an unreal feeling, as if the vague and distant traffic, tall buildings, etc. are just a half-true and half-false dream. He has never really been in it, but has just met it in his dream.

The watch on his wrist that was incompatible with the times made him deeply realize that even if he tried his best to forget the past and devoted himself to the current world, there was always an invisible gap between him and this world. Many times, he would still look at the world from the perspective of an onlooker and look for answers that would become mystery in future generations.

The hot weather made Zhong Qing unable to bear it. During the several days of trouble, Xie Daoqing would come to the gate of Ye Mansion to wander every morning, and then be invited into the mansion as soon as possible and start waiting all day.

When the sun sets, the gate of Ye's mansion will open again. Xie Daoqing, who looked disappointed, will reluctantly walk out of Ye's mansion and return to his home unwillingly. Then, when the sun is about to rise on the second day, he will come to the gate of Ye's mansion again.

After waiting in Ye's mansion for several days, the uncle who was originally easy-going in her heart gradually became cold and ruthless, but just when she felt desperate and seemed to be abandoned by the whole world, the uncle finally wanted to see her.

For a moment, Xie Daoqing was excited and tears flowed. No matter how comforted Fangfei was around, the sob was still unstoppable. The sadness hidden deep in his heart finally broke out completely. The pressure on the little girl's shoulders, which was originally as heavy as a thousand pounds, disappeared in an instant because Ye Qing was willing to see her.

Although she no longer dared to hope Ye Qing would help her, for some reason, when she knew Ye Qing was willing to see her, she suddenly felt that the world in front of her finally opened her warm embrace to her, no longer treating her as an abandoned child who no one cares about, and she no longer feels lonely and helpless. As if she had grabbed a life-saving straw in an instant, all hope for life and the world rose in her heart.

She was wearing a light green narrow-sleeved robe, and there was still a thin and breathable soft-footed head on her head, and a faint stubble on her lips, making Ye Qing look at this moment, both elegant and tough temperament.

There was not even a carriage in the Ye family, and there was no Xia person following him. Xie Daoqing followed Ye Qing onto the Imperial Street and planned to go to Dali Temple.

During these days, Xie Daoqing, who had been abandoned by the bustling and noisy scene in Lin'an, once again felt the familiar Lin'an, and finally accepted her again. She seemed to have a chance to be reborn. She looked at everything on the street with a sense of intimacy, not like the days before, everything had nothing to do with her, as if she had been abandoned by Lin'an.

"Why are you so sure, I will help you?" Ye Qing, who had not walked out of the mansion for many years, was mixed with everyone, while looking at the world that seemed more real to him, while asking Xie Daoqing who followed him closely.

She is still wearing a light green shirt and because of the hot weather, she also shows Xie Daoqing's budding figure perfectly and almost perfectly. Her tall figure, tender and youthful face, a pair of bright and clear eyes, and a fair and beautiful face, just like a breeze in the hot summer. The pure and elegant mood makes people feel a little cool and comfortable.

"Uncle is a good person." Xie Daoqing followed Ye Qing immediately. No matter how Ye Qing asked, Xie Daoqing would only answer this question with this sentence.

Ye Qing shook his head helplessly and smiled, then said, "I am also a clay Buddha who crosses the river and cannot protect myself. Even if you want to save your father and grandfather, it depends on whether they are willing to be saved. What's more... I, Ye Qing, save them. They may not accept this favor."

"I remember your great kindness and virtue. I will definitely repay you with all my strength in the future." Xie Daoqing listened to Ye Qing's not loosening and hurriedly followed two steps and nodded vigorously.

For her, these days were like a nightmare that she could not wake up. She had a happy family, but suddenly, it became the current situation uncontrollably. This situation was like a catastrophe for Xie Daoqing, who was unprepared, and it was like a catastrophe that she could not bear at all.

Especially the feeling that she felt like she was abandoned by the whole world, which made her feel confused, helpless and helpless.

"You repay me? How do you plan to repay me?" Ye Qing turned around and looked at Xie Daoqing, and his eyes instantly dimmed.

When saying repayment in front of a powerful person like Ye Qing, it sounds like a deceptive word. After all, Xie Daoqing also knew in his heart that not to mention herself, even her grandfather, her father might not be favored by others, let alone repay their kindness in the future.

"Do whatever you ask me to do? As long as you are happy, I can do whatever you want." Xie Daoqing followed Ye Qing, looked at the shop called Aunt San’s Tavern, and said to Ye Qing confidently.

"If you have the chance... you can pick up your grandfather and father from Dali Temple, just don't hate me then. As for the repayment, I dare not expect too much." Ye Qing sighed, and then took Xie Daoqing across the street and walked into the crowded Aunt Santa Tavern.

The woman in Aunt San’s Tavern was one of the few people that Ye Qing met after coming to this world. She is now living a life of leisurely life with Lao Liu in Haizhou.

When the third aunt left, Zhong Qing had already returned to Lin'an at that time, so Zhong Cheng, a distant relative of Zhong's family, became the shopkeeper of the tavern with Zhong Qing's acquiescence.

Now many years have passed, and Aunt San has long been no longer in the tavern, but the name of the tavern has never changed. When she walked into the tavern, she still had a familiar decoration, but the busy woman was no longer visible. She was replaced by the middle-aged man Zhong Cheng, who shuttled back and forth between the various wine tables in the lobby.

He looked at Ye Qing who was standing at the door in surprise and the girl who was looking at the tavern with curiosity next to him. Zhong Cheng, who was stunned for a moment, hurriedly ran to the table of guests in the corner, and then didn't know what to say in a low voice. The table of guests smiled and nodded and moved to another table.

When Ye Qing brought Xie Daoqing over, the foot of the table was cleaned up by the clever man, and the two stools were wiped several times before Ye Qing and Xie Daoqing were asked to sit down.

"Master, do you have some wine today..." Zhong Cheng came over in person. Although he was talking to Ye Qing, Yu Guang kept staring at Xie Daoqing next to him.

Of course he didn't dare to ask about the affairs of the Ye family, but seeing Ye Qing bringing a young girl in, he still felt a little nervous: Does the lady know about this? Is the master like this? Do you plan to welcome a small room back to the mansion?

"If you have good tea, just put a pot of tea." Ye Qing said with a smile: "Then you go to Dali Temple in person to see if Bi Zaihui is there. If he is there, please come over and talk."

"Okay, lord, I'll do it now." Zhong Cheng nodded and turned around and left.

Xie Daoqing's eyes, from the curiosity he came in, gradually turned into incredible and incredible. This tavern did not have any good decorations, nor was it as luxurious and elegant as the Hongchu Teahouse. It was just a small place and was only suitable for some ordinary places where peddlers came here to drink. It had nothing to do with Ye Qing's identity, and it should not be where powerful figures like Ye Qing came.

"What, are you surprised?" Ye Qing looked at Xie Daoqing who was secretly looking at him from time to time, and continued with a smug look in his expression: "Did you see it just now? The shopkeeper here calls me Master, do you know what this means?"

Xie Daoqing stared at her bright eyes and shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

"When I first met you, I thought you were very smart. Why do you look so stupid now? You don't understand this? This shows that this tavern is my property, that is... I am the real shopkeeper of this tavern." Ye Qing said with even more smugness.

Xie Daoqing's expression was even more unbelievable, and he was even a little suspicious. Is the person sitting next to him the one Ye Qing, the hero in the north who was taboo in the court and was overshadowed by all officials and was overshadowed by power?

"Uncle..." Xie Daoqing felt a little embarrassed: "Uncle, owning such a pub should not be something worth showing off to you, right? And... in my opinion, this pub is not amazing. Even if you want to buy it, it is estimated that fifty taels of silver? It is enough to buy the entire pub, right?"

"This is feelings, you little girl doesn't understand." Lord Ye sighed, then looked at Xie Daoqing obediently pouring tea for him, recalling the past, "When I first came to Lin'an, I thought how good it would be if I could own such a tavern one day? Then if I have good luck, I would marry a beautiful lady as the shopkeeper. And I would make wine by myself, or make some better quality wine, so that I can guarantee a prosperous business and support our life in Lin'an. But who knew that this wine was actually managed by the government. Although the people made it privately, it was just because the government turned a blind eye. It was actually illegal."

"Uncle...you..." Xie Daoqing was attracted by Ye Qing's "lofty ideal" and asked with incredible eyes wide open: "Uncle, your original goal is...it's that simple? Didn't your original ideal...because you got fame and fortune and one day you will stand in the court? By the way, uncle, aren't you from Lin'an?"

"I am a native of Lin'an... Actually, I am not a native of Lin'an. As for the exam, I am a master..." Ye Qing then smiled. He was the first to come to this world, and he didn't dare to think about it at that time. In this era when scholars were always talking, they would take the "college entrance examination". Moreover, with his half-baked skills, he might not even pass the provincial examination.

Although there are many ways to make a living, combined with the reality and his own situation, Ye Qing, the imperial guard, can not many places to perform his fists. There are rules and laws that he does not understand at all, and they are subject to the restraint of the court and others everywhere. So at that time, the only thing he could do was to use the imperial guards as a bodyguard for people to guard the house and guard the house.

Even so, this is because of the internal calculations between the imperial guards and the use and exploitation of their own value after the senior management weighed the pros and cons.

As a defeated army, he was sent to the imperial guards. According to common sense, he should stop thinking about having a chance to turn things around in his life. Just like when he followed Lao Liu to look at Yongjin Tower for the first time, Lao Liu said: If one day he could have a happy life in Yongjin Tower, his life would not be in vain.

At that time, he was a small imperial guard. Even though he came from another era, he also had a strong desire for such a place that had enough identity and wealth to consume.

Just like in the previous life, a man would probably be more or less moved by a place where women are business content. Naturally, in this era, Ye Qing also wanted to see the gentleness of this era.

Ye Qing's rise has an extremely clear route, but this route is so unique. Apart from accidents, it is thrilling and exciting.

But in the final analysis, what is still inaccessible is the Yan family and Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou, two seemingly different backgrounds, but they have played an absolute role in Ye Qing's rise.

Without the Yan family, Ye Qing would not have conflicts with the Jin people, so naturally he would not have been known by Zhao Gou, and he would not have to find a knife because of the Jin people's aggressiveness, so he would not have to find a knife to eliminate the various threats that the Jin people had to exist to him at all times.

But... no one could have thought that such a knife that should have been in the hands of the powerful and powerful, and was wielded by others, eventually became an independent consciousness, and then, with the creation of the knife itself, became a powerful figure today.

"So, a person's ideal is actually a completely different path from the path he will take in reality. No one knows which industry he can succeed in this life. Naturally, there is no right or wrong in choosing an industry. It only exists on this road. Are you working hard seriously and are determined to get closer to success on this road, rather than wandering, hesitating whether to change a road, and then finally missed all the roads in between hesitation." Ye Qing sighed while watching his bright big eyes spinning, obviously... Lord Ye was playing the piano for a cow.

After a little embarrassed cough, Ye Qing said from another perspective: "Just like your grandfather, your father, who had done a good job in the dispatch of a small official position, although it could not allow your Xie family to have wealth and glory, at least it would be safe and safe, and it would not make your Xie family so depressed today. I think this is also the original intention and ideal of your grandfather and your father. But when a sudden rise appears, as your grandfather is one step closer to his ideal of serving the country and the people and loyal to the court.

In the eyes of your grandfather... he could no longer see anything else, such as danger, family, etc. He only saw the duties and destiny given to him by the court, and completely ignored the various danger signals brought by the rise, thus making himself unintentionally breaking himself into the court struggle. There is a way in the world called compromise, but your grandfather doesn't understand. Although the character and integrity of a literati are important, and the reputation behind him is equally important,... dying to the point of maximizing one's own value, rather than being stupid loyalty, and finally dying is unclear."

As Ye Qing compared her grandfather, Xie Daoqing's mouth gradually became pouting. Although she didn't like Ye Qing to evaluate her grandfather like this, but now she has to bow her head under the roof. She dared not refute it. Moreover, she didn't know how to refute it. She even felt that what Ye Qing said was quite reasonable, but because it involved her grandfather, she didn't want to admit it.

Bi Zaiyu, who had already sat down on Ye Qing's other side, glanced at Xie Daoqing, and then said with a smile: "Listen to Lord Ye, I feel better than reading for ten years. Just Lord Ye, how can you mix your own personal affairs with your own personalities? As a minister..."

"Whether the king is the most important thing? As a minister, should you pass the imperial examination for fame or the people? For the king, you can follow Xie Shenfu and serve the people..."

"Would you like to imitate uncle?" Xie Daoqing pouted Lao Gao and said unhappyly: "Then in this case, wouldn't the court be in chaos? Will the way of the monarch and ministers become a joke?"

"Do you still want to save your grandfather?" Lord Ye threatened immediately after being snatched by Xie Daoqing.

Xie Daoqing was dissatisfied but did not dare to refute, so he had to use the tea to snort gently to express his dissatisfaction.

Bi Zaiyu smiled, then looked at Xie Daoqing who lowered his head to drink tea, and said with a smile: "Miss Xie doesn't have to think too much about what Lord Ye said here today. The girl is still young and it is difficult to understand. But if the girl wants to save Lord Xie, then you just need to tell Grandfather Ling what Lord Xie said just now. As for how to choose, it depends on Grandfather Ling's own choice. After all, Lord Ye's situation over the years is somewhat similar to Grandfather Ling. Both of them were suddenly promoted by the court without any preparation, so... what to choose depends on Grandfather Ling himself."

Xie Daoqing suddenly looked up as he heard Bi Zaiyu's words, and his heart suddenly understood: It turned out... it turned out that the uncle had been talking for a long time to let his grandfather make a choice.

In Bi Zaiyu's opinion, Ye Qing and Xie Shenfu's career have many similarities. Ye Qing was just an imperial guard at that time, but was promoted to the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department by Emperor Gaozong without any warning. His speed of promotion was described as a steep rise to the sky, which was obviously a little pale, or it was more appropriate to use it as a soaring sky.

Xie Shenfu was the same, and suddenly he was promoted to the Lin'an pacification envoy by the Supreme Emperor, and even his two sons who were not as smooth as him, rose to prominence almost overnight and became the magistrate of Jiaxing and Shaoxing.
