Chapter 338 - 338 Marquis Yongye? What Kind of Monkey Is That?!
338 Marquis Yongye? What Kind of Monkey Is That?!
Ye Siming took a deep breath and said in a faint tone, “Gu Nuo’er, why don’t you walk by yourself? Why do you want to sit on someone else’s lap?”
Gu Nuo’er twisted her small b.u.t.t and subconsciously wanted to slide off her brother’s lap and run toward Ye Siming.
Unexpectedly, just as she moved, Qiao Xiuli gently pressed down on her shoulder.
Qiao Xiuli’s eyes were as pale as snow, and his thin eyebrows were very pleasing to the eye.
He said, “Young Master Ye, I’ve heard a lot about you. I’m Nuo’er’s cousin, Qiao Xiuli.”
Ye Siming glanced around and replied casually, “Yes.”
His black eyes looked at the child on Qiao Xiuli’s lap again.
“Either you come out, or you invite me in?”
After Ye Siming finished speaking, he pretended to wear a serious look. “I have something for you.”
Gu Nuo’er raised her small chin happily, her eyes sparkling. “Come in and play, Elder Brother Siming. I’ll show you the two big fish my grandfather raised. They’re very beautiful!”
Hearing her say this, Ye Siming didn’t stand on ceremony and walked into the manor.
Gu Nuo’er looked up at him with her sparkling eyes. “Elder Brother Siming, you’re wearing very different clothes today.”
Ye Siming was wearing a white robe with red python embroidery on it. His collar was slightly up and his black hair was tied up in a jade head gear. Countless youthful auras were suddenly revealed in front of him.
There was a sharp edge in his eyebrows that had been through many hardships all year round. At this moment, when his emotions were calm, his eyes looked cold and elegant.
However, if Ye Siming frowned slightly, the dangerous and unreasonable aura around him would sweep over again.
Ye Siming lowered his head and looked at his attire. He said, “His Majesty gave it to me. He said that after becoming the Marquis Yongye, I have to wear some decent clothes.”
Because of this, General Bai Yi was even reprimanded by Gu Yihan…
“Ye Siming is your foster son, but why is he still dressed like a killer?! Buy more clothes for the child!”
Bai Yi cried out for his innocence in his heart.
No matter how many sets of clothes he and his wife had prepared for Ye Siming, he didn’t like them and only liked to wear simple clothes.
Marquis Yongye’s clothes matched the imperial court’s system, so the python patterns were blatant and conspicuous, just like Ye Siming’s personality.
However, he didn’t seem to like snakes very much.
Gu Nuo’er blinked. “Marquis Yongye? What kind of monkey is that1?! Does it also jump up and down? Why did Father bestow you with this t.i.tle?”
When Qiao Xiuli heard this, he smiled faintly. “This doesn’t mean monkey. His Majesty has given Young Master Ye an official position and a n.o.ble t.i.tle. In the future, if you see Young Master Ye again, you’ll have to address him as Marquis respectfully.”
Ye Siming sneered as if he didn’t care.
Then, he took out a very small square box and took out a small seal made of yellow jade.
Ye Siming handed it to Gu Nuo’er. “This is for you. It’s also a reward from the emperor.”
Gu Nuo’er took it with her small hands and looked at it back and forth under the light.
“Oh, what a beautiful jade!”
Qiao Xiuli’s servant, Ah Zhong, could not stand it anymore.
“Princess, this is the marquis’s seal. It’s not as simple as just a good-looking piece of jade. With this seal, you can mobilize the marquis’s soldiers. Wherever the seal is stamped, it represents the marquis’s permission for something or means that the item belonged to Marquis Yongye.”
Qiao Xiuli’s expression was indifferent. “Nuo’er, return it to the marquis. This item is precious. You can’t take it.”
Ye Siming raised his eyebrows. “When I say I’m giving it to her, I’m giving it to her. Old Bai said that with this stamp, you can collect my money every year. Gu Nuo’er, I’ll give these to you. In the future, you won’t have to be afraid of running out of money to buy candies.”
He still remembered that time when he went out to the streets and didn’t bring any money with him. In the end, the child pitifully asked him for candy.
