It was already very late, and the two siblings did not talk for long before Ye Anjun went back. He did not fall asleep that night. Early the next morning, Ye Ningyu got up. Before Ye Yongde went out to take up his job, Ye Ning

Yu came to his yard. Before he saw his fourth uncle, Ye Ningyu saw Ye Anshu who was walking out of the house and preparing to go to the Imperial College. Seeing Ye Ningyu approaching from a distance, Ye Anshu ran to Ye Ning in a few steps.

"Eldest sister, is it so early?"

Then, he lowered his voice and came closer. "I handed the bundle to Master intact, without peeking at it."

Ye Ningyu smiled and said, "I know, eldest sister has to thank Ashu a lot this time."

When Ye Anshu heard the eldest sister thanking him, he suddenly made a serious face. "Ashu doesn't like hearing what the eldest sister said."

In the past, he always pestered Ye Ningyu to help him, either to provide some cover for him, or to let Ye Ningyu make peace when he made a mistake and was scolded by Duan. Because of the eldest sister, he suffered a lot less.

Ye Anshu still knows his mother's training. Now that he has finally done something for Ye Ningyu, he is naturally very happy. "Okay, it's the eldest sister who is wrong."

Ye Ningyu smiled lightly. At this time, Duan came out of the house and saw Ye Anshu with a straight face in front of Ye Ningyu. She just said that he was playing tricks again and didn't want to go to the Imperial College. "You

If you don’t leave quickly, why are you pestering your eldest sister?”

Ye Anshu looked aggrieved, "Mother, we are talking about business."

Duan twitched the corner of her mouth, "What can you do?"

Ye Anshu rolled his eyes and tugged on Ye Ningyu's wrist. Ye Ningyu frowned, and when she saw the look in Eighth Brother's eyes, she knew something was wrong with him. Sure enough, Ye Anshu showed a bright smile. "Eldest sister, after all,

There is a debate in Qingfeng Tower, and Ashu invites the eldest sister to come and watch it."

Ye Ningyu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Qingfeng Tower Debate?" This is not an unfamiliar thing. In the past, after the results of each palace examination were released, the Ministry of Rites would organize such a debate. This year's scientific examination students, regardless of whether they were on the list

Those who have failed or those who have failed, as well as many students who are currently attending school in most cities, can participate. The first debate meeting in most cities was held in the previous dynasty. At that time, the purpose of the former emperor's debate was to broaden the scope of speech and select talents. In this dynasty, the emperor followed the previous dynasty.

The system of the dynasty, but the purpose has changed a bit. The Ministry of Rites will take the lead in selecting a few eloquent students to familiarize them with the debate topics in advance and make some preparations. Most of these debate topics are based on today's current affairs, such as

In the last session three years ago, the debate topics were "Legends and Worthies", "The Way of Kings and Ministers", etc. In the end, the arguments that won the debate were the arguments that the Ministry of Rites wanted them to win. People with a discerning eye will see if they think carefully, now

The students' debate was just Emperor Yu using the students' mouths to say some things that he couldn't say for the sake of his own imperial power. Thinking that the format of the debate was greater than the actual meaning, Ye Ningyu had no interest. "Go and see

That’s good, I still have some things to do that day.”

But Ye Anshu was reluctant. "Eldest sister, many students will come in the future. Eldest sister, don't you want to see the style of my Dayu students?"

Ye Ningyu smiled and said nothing. Duan was annoyed, "Your eldest sister said something was wrong, why are you still here?"

"Eldest sister, why don't you go? I'm going to participate in this year's debate. Eldest sister, why don't you go and help me be brave?"

Ye Anshu looked expectant. Oh? Hearing Ye Anshu's words, Ye Ningyu and Duan were both surprised. He also wants to participate in this kind of debate? This... doesn't seem to be Ye Anshu's temperament. "Look for your fourth brother.

Fifth brother can do it too."

Ye Ning said, "Fourth brother is going to the Hanlin Academy that day to report, and fifth brother is going to go. However, I still want my eldest sister to go with me."

Ye Anshu didn't let go. Ye Ningyu narrowed her eyes and looked at him, knowing that this guy must have a plan in mind, otherwise he wouldn't be so pestering. "What do you want me to do?"

Ye Anshu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "I made an appointment with a classmate to have a debate this time. I don't want my eldest sister to embolden me."

Duan understood clearly, how could he ask Ye Ningyu to help him to be brave and argue for him? "You brat, you are so competitive and you just rely on your own ability, what are you dragging your eldest sister to do? Ayun, don't worry about him.

.”

With that said, he pulled Ye Ningyu and walked into the house. Ye Anshu's voice still sounded from behind, "Sister, please think about it..." Ye Anshu was dragged out of the yard by his servants. It would be too late.

, he would be late for the first class. On the other side, Ye Ningyu walked in and saw Ye Yongde, who was already dressed and ready to go out. "Fourth uncle."

Ye Ningyu walked up to Ye Ningyu. "Ayun is so early, is there anything wrong?"

Ye Yongde is the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He is personally supervising the construction of a royal villa these days. He leaves early and comes home late every day. In addition, there is no court meeting today, so he does not have to go to court. When he saw Ye Ningyu coming over, he seemed to have something to do.

, Ye Yongde simply sat down. After Duan brought Ye Ningyu into the house, he also saw that Ye Ningyu had something to do with Ye Yongde, so he did not stop and went straight to the outer room to have breakfast slowly. Then Ye Ningyu said, "Four

Uncle, do you have a brochure of underground construction in the Xingwen Street area?"

Ye Yongde was stunned, "What do you want this for?"

Ye Yongde has served in the Ministry of Works for many years, from being a sixth-grade Yuanwai Lang to the current Minister of Works. Apart from other things, he is more or less familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Works. However, Dadu City has been built for many years, and it has been in place since the previous dynasty.

Yes. If you want to find the underground construction drawings of Xingwen Street, you have to spend a lot of effort to find it. "Does Fourth Uncle know about the Xinglong Restaurant on Xingwen Street?"

"Um."

Ye Yongde nodded. "There seems to be a private building underneath the Xinglong Restaurant."

Ye Ningyu didn't speak clearly. She didn't intend to mention anything about the armory. But if she wanted to ask Ye Yongde for such a thing, she would have to explain the matter clearly. It was a big deal to say that it was a privately built place.

It's not a big deal. If the restaurant opens a wine cellar or warehouse underground, and if it reaches a large scale, it can be regarded as a private establishment without reporting it to the Ministry of Industry. However, this kind of thing has nothing to do with Ye Ningyu, why should she?

Guan Xi seemed to have guessed Ye Yongde's thoughts, and Ye Ningyu continued, "Fourth uncle, to be honest, I have the red deed of Xinglong Restaurant in my hand."

"What?"

Ye Yongde was a little surprised for a moment. She knew that her niece had some property, but she just thought it was some farm property left by her eldest brother. She had never heard of the restaurant. "Six months ago, Xinglong Restaurant was bought by my second uncle and given to me.

It's just that I haven't had time to do anything in the past few days. I wanted to take a look these days, but I found some unusual things. I thought about checking it out. If it doesn't matter, then forget it. If there are other privately built places,

As my boss, I must take care of it."

Ye Ning said "other privately-built places", as Ye Yongde who often supervises projects, he can naturally understand what it means. Secret rooms, secret passages, and other shady places. Realizing the seriousness of the problem,

Ye Yongde frowned. His niece didn't often ask for anything in front of him. Today, it was difficult for her to ask for anything. Since it was an important matter for her, Ye Yongde had no reason not to agree. Moreover, a minister from the Ministry of Industry wanted to retrieve these past albums.
