Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 41 The Return
The weather in April is warm and comfortable, with high clouds and clear sky.

Driving out from the north gate, the road is lined with green trees, and the new leaves are rustling with the wind.

Ye Chutang put down the curtain, and looked at Xiao Wu in his arms again, seeing that she finally fell asleep, she felt a little relieved.

Since the accident that year, Xiao Wu has been very afraid of getting close to the carriage, and every time he stays in the carriage, he will be very nervous.

But she has always been sensible, even if she was afraid in her heart, she tried her best to overcome it, trying not to let herself be held back.

Ye Chutang hugged her and coaxed her for a while, and she finally fell asleep quietly, half of her face was buried in Ye Chutang's arms, and a small fleshy hand was still unconsciously clutching Ye Chutang's clothes, even in a dream, she was afraid to be with her Separation in general.

Ye Jingyan took one last look at the city gate that was gradually going away, and murmured: "We're leaving like this..."

He used to think that they would stay here forever and spend their lives peacefully and peacefully.

Unexpectedly, three years passed in the blink of an eye, and they actually embarked on the road back to Beijing again.

Ye Chutang helped Xiao Wu tuck his collar, and said with a faint smile, "It's about 20 days' journey from here to the capital. If you want to go back in the future, you can come back anytime."

Ye Jingyan shook her head.

"I just want to be with you, sister."

What he misses is not Jiangling, but the time he spent with Ajie and the others in the past three years.

He knew that once he returned to Beijing, this peace would be broken.

Probably to take care of Xiao Wu, their speed was not considered fast on the way, the brothers Ye Jingyan and Ye Yunfeng took turns to drive, stop and go, and go north along the road.

Ye Chutang occasionally enjoys the scenery on the road, and invites them to watch it together.

After all, when they mixed among the refugees and fled south, they didn't have such leisurely mind.

In this way, it only took 20 days to travel, but it took them a full month.

In early May, they finally arrived in the capital.

"Sister, we're here!"

Ye Yunfeng's voice couldn't hide his excitement.

Ye Chutang opened the curtain and peeked out.

The huge city stands far away, thick and majestic.

Compared with the appearance in memory, there is almost no change, so that people doubt whether the three years in between really exist.

Xiao Wu also opened his eyes, and then looked forward, his big black grape-like eyes were full of curiosity.

When she left, she was still a baby and had no impression of the capital.

Compared with her elder sister and her two elder brothers, it was almost the first time for her to formally see what the capital really looked like.

The fourth brother mentioned it to her more than once, saying that there are many people in the capital, and the pastries are especially delicious, and it is very lively!

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu's stomach growled.

She suddenly became shy and covered her belly in embarrassment.

Ye Chutang laughed: "Hungry?"

Xiao Wu shook his head, nodded again, and finally threw his head on her shoulder, buried it in her neck and acted like a baby.

Ye Chutang rubbed her little head, and then said to Ye Yunfeng: "I'm going to the city soon, Ah Feng, even if you are very hungry, can't you hold on?"

Ye Yunfeng hit the top of his head with a black pot: "..."

He looked back with an aggrieved face, just about to defend himself, but he endured it.

never mind!

My elder sister and younger sister, what else can I do except get used to it?

He rolled his eyes, came to an idea, and smiled again: "Sister, it's been a month's journey, let's go have a good meal?"

Ye Chutang couldn't guess what he was thinking: "Tell me, which one do you want to eat?"

Ye Yunfeng immediately said: "Lanyue Tower!"

Lanyuelou is one of the top restaurants in the capital. It is usually visited by the rich and powerful children of aristocratic families, and the dishes are also excellent.

Since Ye Yunfeng left the capital, he has never forgotten this family, and now that he is finally back, he naturally wants to have a good meal.

"Sister, why don't you just say it's okay!" Ye Yunfeng asked cheekily.

Ye Chutang tilted his head and thought for a moment.

"Okay. Then Lanyue Tower."

……

After passing through the heavily guarded city gate and the flat and wide Suzaku Street, the carriage finally stopped in front of a magnificent restaurant.

There are people coming and going on the street, lively and noisy.

Ye Yunfeng looked up at the hanging gold-lettered plaque, and couldn't help feeling: "Lanyue Tower is still Lanyue Tower! This is much higher than that of Caoji Restaurant!"

It is true that only the capital can have a restaurant of this size.

The little Er in front of the door had noticed this ordinary-looking or even too simple carriage early on.

Those who come here are either rich or expensive, and they are basically regular customers, but the young man driving the car is very strange to him.

This is obviously not a servant of any family, but if you want to say it is a son of some family... Judging from the clothes and shoes, it seems that he is not either.

Like ordinary people from other places.

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Er's attitude became obviously a little colder.

He looked Ye Yunfeng up and down, and then glanced at the carriage, "Does the guest officer have a reservation? If not, then can—"

Suddenly, his voice stopped.

A plain hand suddenly stretched out from the curtain, the jade fingers were slender, and the skin was like creamy fat.

With this hand alone, it is not difficult to imagine the appearance of its owner.

Then, a figure of Pingting stepped out of the car.

It was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman, wearing a brocade dress in the color of a concubine of Xiang, her black hair was simply pulled up, and only a carnelian was slanted on her hairpin.

Her complexion bullies Frost Saixue, her black eyebrows are like distant mountains, and her black eyes are like stars. She seems to be surrounded by an invisible aura, which separates her from her surroundings, and has an undisguised attraction that makes people involuntarily focus their gaze on her. on her.

The corners of her lips were slightly curved, revealing a light smile, and her dark and moist eyes were pure and gentle.

"We don't have a reservation, just find a place to eat at random on the first floor."

The tone is calm and graceful.

Xiao Er stared blankly for a while, and only came back to her senses when she heard her words: "Okay, okay! Guest, please come to the guest officials!"

Ye Yunfeng snorted, and immediately came to Ye Chutang's side, standing in front of her calmly.

When Ye Chutang turned his head, Ye Jingyan was getting off the carriage with Xiao Wu in his arms.

"Let's go." The corners of Ye Chutang's lips curled up, "Sister Sis treats guests today, order whatever you want."

……

As soon as Ye Chutang and his party took their seats on the first floor, they heard a commotion upstairs.

"Hahaha! Brother Ye! I heard that my uncle will soon be promoted to be the young minister of Dali Temple. Congratulations!"

Ye Chutang's heart moved, and when he looked up, he saw about five or six teenagers coming down the stairs with their shoulders crossed.

The young man surrounded in the middle was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and his appearance was considered gentle, but his figure was too thin. The brocade clothes and fine clothes on his body were a bit empty, and his brows and eyes were somewhat gloomy, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Hearing the sound, he snorted, with a flash of smugness on his face, but said: "It hasn't been officially settled yet, don't talk nonsense."

A young man next to him immediately said: "Why is it not decided? I heard that many people in Beijing have already received the invitation post! By the way, I heard that this time, even the Dingbeihou's Mansion has been invited?"

Ye Chutang raised her eyebrows lightly.
