Chapter 127 Take You Home
His voice was so small that Ye Fugui almost thought he was talking about the buzzing of mosquitoes.

"Two dogs?" Ye Fugui frowned and muttered, how could there be a dog in a person's name?

Ye Zhengping's cheeks turned red quickly, he lowered his head in shame, a thin layer of tears appeared in his eyes.

In his limited memory, he seems to have a name, but he has been begging for a living, wandering for a long time, and has long forgotten his name.

The beggars who bullied him called him a dog, and one of them named him Ergou out of kindness.

Looking at Ye Fugui, Ye Zhengping suddenly felt his nose sore, his heart was filled with deep inferiority complex and despair, and his eyes were also sore.

"Why are you crying?"

Ye Fugui looked at him and wrinkled his delicate nose.

"Ergou, don't cry, I'll help you find your parents! Tell me where your home is first, okay?" Ye Fugui squatted in front of him, coaxing softly.

Ye Zhengping raised his head, looked at her with tears in his eyes, and said with a choked voice, "Miss, I have no home, I'm a beggar, and I don't know where I am from."

When Ye Fugui heard the words, he frowned his curved willow eyebrows, looking stumped.

She tilted her head and thought for a long time before saying, "Ergou, do you eat a lot?"

Ye Zhengping was taken aback, and looked at her suspiciously. He didn't know why she asked such a question, but he still said truthfully: "Not many, the young ones can only get two steamed buns at most every day, and they are all rotten buns that the store doesn't want." vegetable"

After speaking, he lowered his head, and the tears in his eyes welled up again.

Ye Fugui nodded thoughtfully, with serious eyes: "It's really not many."

Ye Zhengping stared at her blankly, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd.

Ye Fugui reached out and patted the bulging purse in his arms, "Here, I have money. Ergou, I'll take you home, are you willing to come home with me?"

"Go home?" Ye Zhengping was stunned, his eyes widened in surprise, and he nodded vigorously, fearing that Ye Fugui would regret it if he was a little late.

Although he didn't know who the little girl in front of him was, but the pastries she gave were so delicious, he wouldn't be hungry if he walked with her.

"Then let's go home!"

Ye Zhengping quickly stood up, wiped away the tears on his face, and followed Ye Fugui into the carriage.

Ye Fugui took out a bright red cloak and put it on Ye Zhengping to cover his ragged cotton coat.

Ye Zhengping looked at the cloak with his head down, feeling the warm touch from it, and an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

His parents are gone, leaving him alone, and he has never had any warm and sweet memories in these years.

The carriage slowly drove out of the street and drove slowly along the official road.

Looking at this luxurious carriage, passers-by on the side of the road looked sideways in amazement.

"It's General Ye's carriage!" Someone exclaimed.

"General Ye? Master Ye?" Someone asked in confusion.

"It's General Ye, a well-known iron-blooded general of my Tianlu Dynasty, who is now appointed by the emperor as the Great General of Zhenguo." The man said with an expression of envy and hatred, "Oh, unfortunately, General Ye has no children under his knees. , only one delicate daughter"

"Don't tell me! She is such a beautiful little girl! When she grows up, she will be a beautiful woman who will overwhelm the country and the city!"

Someone else echoed.

"It's a pity that General Ye is a fool. He guards his wife all day long, and he doesn't take concubines to have children. Alas, poor parents in the world."

"You don't understand this! It's not the fault of General Ye that he has no children. It's only his fault that he's so infatuated!"

Another woman said enviously.

At this moment, Ye Zhengping was sitting in the carriage, listening to the voices of people talking beside him, his cheeks became hot and his heart beat faster.

At such a young age, he was already able to understand some people's words, so he naturally knew that this little girl was extremely honorable.

He lowered his head, not daring to look at Ye Fugui who was sitting beside him, he couldn't help but grabbed the skirt of his chest, another hole was torn out by him in the tattered cotton coat, and he didn't notice it at all.

He didn't know what to say to express his nervousness.

"Miss, we're here." The coachman shouted to Ye Fugui.

Ye Fugui lifted the curtain to get out of the car, smiled and waved to Ye Zhengping: "Ergou, come down quickly! You're home!"

When Ye Zhengping heard the words, he quickly responded and climbed down from the carriage.

The gates of General Ye's mansion were all in sight, and there was only a gate standing tall in front of his eyes, with bright red paint, showing the master's power and status.

There is a plaque hanging on the gate, with the words "Ye Fu" written on it, vigorous and powerful, mighty and majestic.

Ye Zhengping raised his head and looked at the door in front of him, a little cautious and a little scared.

Seeing that he was hesitating, Ye Fugui went up to hold his hand, and as soon as he pinched his fingers, he retracted his hand, his face flushed.

"Second dog?" Ye Fugui frowned.

Ye Zhengping looked at the clean and beautiful girl in front of him, shook his head, and hid his hands behind his back.

His hands are dirty.

Ye Fugui didn't care about it, pulled his cloak, stepped into the mansion, and walked past exquisite and luxurious houses.

The flowers, plants, trees, stone benches, and pavilions in the mansion were all Ye Zhengping had never seen before.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at everything in front of him, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

Walking along the way, the passing maids and mothers-in-law saluted and greeted Ye Fugui respectfully, "Miss."

Seeing Ye Zhengping who was beside Ye Fugui, they all showed surprise in their eyes, but they didn't show contempt or ridicule.

It was completely different from the eyes he met on Long Street.

Ye Zhengping let her drag on and walked in a daze, as if in a dream.

What happened just now still appeared in his mind, and his heart was beating non-stop.

When he came back to his senses, Ye Fugui had already led him to a quiet and elegant courtyard.

All kinds of flowers and trees are planted outside the courtyard, which are bright and fragrant, and a thriving scene makes people feel refreshed and pleasing to the eye.

"Er Gou, I'll take you to see my mother!" Ye Fugui stopped and turned around and smiled brightly at him, showing his snow-white teeth.

She smiled, and the sun shone from behind her and fell on her bright and beautiful little face.

The tension in Ye Zhengping's heart disappeared in an instant, and a faint smile subconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he responded softly, "En."

Just about to take a step, a graceful figure walked towards the two of them.

The man was wearing a goose-yellow skirt, with an emerald green belt around his waist, and a few plain jade hairpins on top of his head. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were smiling. There is a bit of heroism in the room.

When Ye Fugui saw the person coming, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stepped forward and called out: "Mother."
