Chapter Forty-Nine(1/2)
"What did you say your last name was?"
Mr. Ye thought he had an ear problem and heard wrongly, so he stared at the thin old man who was devouring his food and asked again.
"Jane, can my old man change his name...well, I don't want to change his surname..."
The thin old man ate the fried cake and answered again vaguely.
"Which word?"
There are very few people with the surname Jian. Unfortunately, this is the surname of the current royal family.
Master Ye couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be cautious.
"There are so many homophones, whichever one you name...is the one."
I don’t know whether it was intentional, or he was too busy eating to bother with Mr. Ye, but the thin old man, that is, old man Jian, just passed by.
"you……"
"Oh, he is just an idle and homeless old man. He often eats and drinks at my old monk's place. Don't think too much about it!"
Seeing that Mr. Ye seemed suspicious, the fat old monk stopped his chopsticks and explained.
As soon as he said this, Mr. Ye looked at Mr. Jian who was devouring his food and felt that he might have thought too much.
Although the royal family's surname is Jian, the royal family's population is actually not that large.
Apart from Prince Ning, Jian Yiduo, who had been guarding the border all year round, the only remaining Prince An, Jian Yiheng, was frail and sickly.
Furthermore, it is Jian Yichun, the current Dingkang Emperor of the Dazhao Kingdom.
It is worth mentioning that these three people are brothers, and they are brothers from the same mother.
Emperor Dingkang was the third in line, and Prince Ning and Prince An were his eldest and second brothers.
What is even more worth mentioning is that Emperor Chengjing, the supreme emperor of the Jokhang Kingdom, is still alive, but he rarely shows up and almost no one has seen him in these years.
Even Mr. Ye, who has been an official for more than ten years, has never seen this somewhat mysterious emperor.
In addition, there are several princes and county princes, but Mr. Ye has met all of them before.
Therefore, when he heard the introduction from the thin old man, also known as Old Man Jian, he couldn't help but think more.
Thinking about it, the Emperor was a military general when he was young, and he reigned for several years. He must have been a mighty, domineering, extremely wise and polite old man, and he has nothing to do with the voracious and eclectic old man in front of him!
After staring at Old Man Jian, Mr. Ye was completely relieved.
Come to think of it, he is really an ordinary old man!
Mr. Ye breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he had thought too much!
Even the fat old monk beside him breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mr. Ye no longer stared at Mr. Jian.
"Then you two are..."
Mr. Ye couldn't understand why these two old men came into his house.
And this fat old monk named Yuankong, if he remembers correctly, he should be the elder master of Xuantian Temple, right?
And this Xuantian Temple is different from ordinary temples!
It was a royal temple, and the royal ancestors' everlasting lanterns were enshrined inside, which was a very prestigious existence!
Of course, Grandpa Ye has only heard of the name of Master Yuankong, but he has never seen it in person.
Looking carefully at the fat old monk, with his chubby body and round face, coupled with his kind and kind eyes, he really looks a bit like the Tathagata Buddha!
The reason why Old Man Jian calls him ‘A Yuan’ must be more likely to be related to his body shape than to his name!
Ah Yuan!
It’s quite appropriate!
While Mr. Ye was absentmindedly eating his breakfast, he kept looking at old man Jian and the fat monk, Master Yuankong, and kept thinking in his heart.
"We are here for the master, your daughter!"
Old Jian didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of his ancestor, but he was very casual in front of Master Ye.
Moreover, he had other ideas in mind!
For example, I want to take advantage of Mr. Ye, and then use roundabout ways to persuade the ancestor to take them in.
I have to say, this is a good idea!
However, they made the wrong idea!
Ancestor, is that something that can be manipulated by others?
Even kissing me doesn't work!
It's just that Old Man Jian hasn't seen this fact clearly yet!
"The fat monk and I will stay at your house."
Then, Old Man Jian took the time to speak again.
After saying that, he continued to eat. He looked very busy and looked like a starving man who had not eaten for several years.
Master Ye!!
Don't these two old men just want to eat and drink?
But it shouldn’t be possible for Master Yuankong!
Thinking about it, Mr. Ye could not help but look at the fat monk.
Is this Master Yuankong?
The appearance of his rags and ragged clothes is really far from the image that the elder of Xuantian Temple should have!
Thinking about it again, Mr. Ye's eyes were a little subtle.
"I'm really sorry to you two old gentlemen. We don't have any spare room for you two to borrow!"
Then, Mr. Ye smiled politely and politely and spoke, his intention of rejection being obvious.
"It doesn't matter, we two are not particular about it, we can just live in the woodshed!"
Ginger is still spicy. Old man Jian seemed not to hear the rejection in Mr. Ye's words. He said indifferently while eating, and the fat monk nodded in agreement.
But he can say this, but Mr. Ye can't do it!
As the saying goes, visitors are guests. Although I don’t know the two old men, it is somewhat unreasonable to let them live in the woodshed!
"What should we do?"
"How about I take you two to stay in an inn? You two can stay as long as you want. Don't worry about money. Food and drink won't be a problem..."
"No, no, my old man won't go anywhere, I will live in your house."
Mr. Ye suddenly came up with a good idea. He was talking proudly to himself when he was forcefully interrupted by Mr. Jian.
Master Ye!!
Too proud!
"Yes, I also think this place is very good!"
The fat monk also started causing trouble. For a moment, Master Ye really didn’t know what to do!
"This... house is really inconvenient..."
"My wife has just given birth and is in confinement. It is not convenient for my daughter to entertain you two..."
"Isn't this your son?"
Mr. Ye tried hard to find reasons to persuade the two old men, but Mr. Jian was inexperienced and pointed at Brother Ye.
Brother Ye, who was drinking porridge with his head down, looked confused.
What does it have to do with him?
"The dog is stupid and not good at hospitality. I am afraid that he will neglect you two..."
"It doesn't matter, old man, I have always been generous and generous, and I don't care about the younger generation!"
Old Jian waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
Master Ye??
He is so difficult!
Why can't these two old men make sense?
"No, it's my intention as a junior..."
"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean, old man, you don't need to say anything anymore."
Mr. Ye wants to cry!
What do you understand?
He hasn't finished speaking yet, okay?
