C20 The arrival of the princess

Ye Dong said with a wry smile, "Princess Jingyue has come to my house. My little brother's other wives are accompanied by the princess. How could they let little brother do that?"

Mo Ao also laughed heartily as he said: "Since the princess has arrived, which family doesn't seem glorious? Only younger brother will have the face to suffer."

Ye Dong shook his head and didn't answer. There was a knock on the door. The shopkeeper's voice came from outside, "My lord, the dishes you called have been prepared. Do you want me to bring them in now or later?"

Ye Dong got up and opened the door. He smiled and said, "Of course I will eat now. How can I eat later?" "Shopkeeper, I will have to trouble you to send someone to inform the gatekeeper of Ye Dong's house that his young master is not eating lunch at home. Consider this silver tael as the money for running errands!" Ye Dong took out a silver ingot and gave it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper heard that it was someone who was sending a letter to Ye Dong. He quickly waved his hand and said: "Young master, are you General Ye Dong?"

Ye Dong nodded and said, "That's right!"

The shopkeeper put the silver back into Ye Dong's hand and said, "Since it is General Ye Dong, how dare I accept your money. I will send people to get it. Please enjoy!" As he spoke, he let the boy bring the dishes into the room.

Ye Dong smiled, "The shopkeeper is forcing me to take bribes. No, no. I will have to pay for the food and wine today."

The storekeeper was terrified, "General Yan Men, Jade Gate have eliminated the Turkic barbarians and guaranteed my dream. If you eat here and pay me back, then the neighbors in the street will have to point at my back and scold me. General, please don't refuse.

Ye Dong thought for a while and said, "How about this, shopkeeper? Go get the Four Treasures of the study and I will write a few words for you. How about it?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Then do as the general says!" After he finished speaking, he went downstairs to retrieve the Four Treasures from the study.

Ye Dong went back to his seat. Lin Pai leaned over and asked, "Brother, what word do you want to give them?"

Ye Dong knocked on his head and jokingly scolded him, "You don't like reading. Let's see what you will do in the future!"

Lin Wen made a "Tch" sound and said disdainfully, "I'll eat it if he gives it to me. Wouldn't it be fine to secretly put the silver on the table? Why would I write anything down?"

Ye Dong ignored this guy and came in with a pen and paper. Ye Dong took the good Xuan paper and pressed it on the desk in the corner. He lowered his head and started to think. The shopkeeper was grinding them to the side. The Mo brothers and Lin Fan looked at Ye Dong curiously. They wanted to see what this young general who came out of the battlefield would write.

After the shopkeeper finished his research, Ye Dong raised his head and dipped the brush into the ink stone. He then wrote on the paper, "For the sake of profit, for the sake of money, for the sake of leisure, go and drink two cups of tea; for the sake of suffering, for the sake of clothes, for the sake of pleasure, for the sake of a pot of wine."

Ye Dong had been learning about beauty since he was young. He had written a lot, so there was no need for him to say it. Although this couplet was popular, it revealed a sense of bitterness and humour. That storekeeper and the Mo Brothers, even Lin Fan, who did not read any books, applauded loudly.

There was a box of ink on the table. Ye Dong took out the golden plate with the words "Great Dream of the National General with a hundred thousand men" and pressed on the bottom corner of the couplet he had written. It was a success.

Ye Dong read the couplet again and then said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, that's it. Do you think my words are worth the money for the liquor?"

"Of course, of course. This lowly one will have the general's Mo Bao mounted on the wall and hang it in this private room. Please enjoy, general, this lowly one will take his leave now!" The shopkeeper carefully picked up the couplet Ye Dong wrote on the table and went downstairs happily.

When Ye Dong returned to his seat, Mo Ao looked at Ye Dong with a look of amazement and said: "Brother is truly talented. I, your brother, am truly impressed!"

Ye Dong shook his head and poured himself three glasses of wine, then he said with a smile, "Brother Mo is too untalented. Come, let's drink first. I will be the one to offer my toast." After finishing his words, he turned the wine cup upside down in his hand and looked at the three of them.

Ye Dong smiled as he looked at the three of them. When he saw Ran Mo, he was a bit surprised, but his face had changed back to normal.

After the drinks, Ye Dong asked them to eat. The younger brother of the Mo Clan seemed to be born not to like talking. He just smiled as he listened to Ye Dong and Mo Ao, while Lin Fan chatted away. Occasionally, he drank a mouthful of wine and looked at Ye Dong with admiration and curiosity.

After eating their fill, the four of them walked out of the restaurant. The shopkeeper hurriedly sent them to the door, instructing them to come often in the future. Ye Dong responded with a smile.

Halfway home, Lin Xin went in a different direction and separated from them. Ye Dong then said to Ran Mo, "Sister Mo, have you eaten well today?"

Ran Mo looked at Ye Dong's Adam's apple and then touched his own. He said, "Then why didn't you say so earlier? You made me hold my breath!"

How am I wrong again? Ye Dong laughed dryly and said, "Oh, it's my fault. Okay, tonight, I will send someone to call you all to my house for dinner. How about you apologize to the Mo sisters?"

Mo Ao hastily pulled his sister and said to Ye Dong, "Little brother, there's no need to be like this. Little sister is a playboy, there's no need to come to your house to eat!"

He shook off his brother's hand and said: "Brother, you are serious. Brother Ye Dong is not an outsider, so what if we go to his house for a meal? Besides, we didn't come to his brother's wedding, so I want to see what his sister-in-law looks like!" If you don't want to go, then I'll go myself! "

Ye Dong laughed and said, "Alright, let's go back then. It's not that Brother Mo isn't here, but the cooks in my house were all sent to me by the emperor from the royal kitchen!"

The girl's eyes lit up when she heard Ye Dong's words. She turned to Ye Dong and said, "Then I want to eat the Eight Treasures Wonderful Soup."

This Mo Clan's girl was very lively and cute, which made Ye Dong have a good impression of her. He laughed and said: "Good, good, good. Tonight, whatever you want to eat, let the chef cook for you. If you want, come to my house every day to eat!"

"Really?" A pair of large eyes sparkled, looking extremely adorable.

Mo Ao did not dare to let his sister continue talking. Besides, he was going to stay in Ye Dong's house. He pulled his sister, ignoring her struggling, and said to Ye Dong: "Sister, you're too naughty, I'm sorry for making you laugh!" He turned around and scolded his sister, "You little brat, you are actually so shameless. See how dad will teach you a lesson when we get back."

He pouted his lips and stared at Ye Dong. Ye Dong hurriedly pulled Mo Ao and said, "Brother Mo, your little sister is so cute and lively, I really like her. I'm afraid that your little brothers and sisters would be delighted to see her, so they came to my house. Don't blame her."

You're the one who didn't let her go to your house because you liked me. You married four wives by yourself, and my sister is so innocent and innocent. Mo Ao forced out a smile and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you today, but I will not bother you tonight.

Ye Dong's skin was rough and thick. He did not care about what the princess said to him. He laughed and said, "So Sister Jingyue is still here. What, are you going back to the palace?"

Princess Jingyue rolled her eyes and leisurely said, "Brother-in-law, little sister will go back first. I'll also let a few sisters come visit you another day, so that little sister won't have to be so bored by herself in the palace."

Ye Dong laughed and said, "Of course." As he spoke, he accompanied the other wives as they escorted Princess Jingyue out of the main entrance.

Back in his room, Lu Chang rubbed Ye Dong's shoulder and asked gently, "Which young master did you have lunch with today?"

Ye Dong held the cup of tea on the table, took a sip and said, "The brother and sister from General Mo's family and the brat from General Lin's family." Then, Ye Dong told him about his meeting with the little emperor today and how he was rescued by the Mo sisters on his way to the north side of the city. He then told him about the matter regarding Lin Fan and asked Lu Chang, "Rou Er, do you think Lin Yaozu is a first rank general in the imperial court? How come he sent his son to be a little soldier in the loyal army?"

Lu Chang laughed, "My lord, I do not know. Although General Lin is an important official under King Qing, he is upright and believes that his child must rely on his own ability to be an official. He relied on the protection of his ancestors and is not a man, so he personally requested the Emperor to place Lin in the army.

"Oh!" Ye Dong nodded, he did not expect the Duke Qing's side to have such a good official. Ye Dong talked with his four wives everywhere to improve their relationship. Ye Dong had a deep understanding of his four wives, but he didn't know anything about their relationship. After chatting for more than two hours, Xi Er knocked on the door and reported: General Mo came to visit with his family. When Ye Dong heard this, he led his four wives out to welcome them.

In the front hall, General Mo and his son were drinking tea. At this moment, Sister Mo had changed into a green dress and her hair was tied up in a bun. She looked cute and playful with two jade hairpins stuck in her hair. She was turning around and around in the antechamber like a swallow, gesticulating and mumbling.

The lively Mo sisters were always able to make Ye Dong happy. He laughed and said, "Uncle Mo, you can just go to the backyard and sit there. It would seem impolite for you to sit here."

Before General Mo Yan could say anything, his daughter hopped over to Ye Dong. She looked at the wives behind Ye Dong and said to Ye Dong: "Brother Ye Dong, why did you marry Sister Rou, Sister Qing, and Huan'Er? Brother, you are so annoying. I don't have anyone to play with me anymore!"

Ye Dong broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. He could think of such a reason, the little sister of the Mo Clan was truly a godly person! Ye Dong rubbed his nose and asked awkwardly, "Sister Mo, do you not know which family I am marrying?"

The little girl opened her eyes wide and nodded.
