Chapter 551 Meeting the old friends
Ye Ningyu and Jiang looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads.
"He is a good man! I heard that he is talented, good looking, and good at martial arts. You don't know something. The border of Southern Tang Dynasty is thanks to him."
"Old lady, so this prince is a general?" Ye Ningxi had always been curious about her future brother-in-law, but had no way to find out the news. Now she heard the words and answered immediately.
"No, no, no." Old Mrs. Jiang smiled, "He rarely personally guards the border, but he personally arranges the formation of troops at the border and the military strategies. Most of the time, he stays in the court.
To put it bluntly, rather than saying that the Southern Tang Kingdom belongs to the emperor, it would be better to say..."
"Ahem, mother." Jiang Ruozhong was still entertaining the imperial guards at this time. Jiang Ruoyong immediately coughed a few times and stopped the old lady from talking.
Old Mrs. Jiang has always been a talkative person, and she can't stop talking once she starts talking. She is the elder here, and no one dares to interrupt her unless what she says is really inappropriate.
The old lady was stunned for a moment, realized she had made a mistake, and smiled.
"Ever since my mother knew that Ayun was going to marry the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, she sent her servants to the teahouse to listen to books every day. As long as it was about the prince, she would listen to it word for word. Just kidding, old lady
Maybe I know this prince better than Ayun." The eldest lady joked again.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel funny, and the laughter continued in the main hall.
Ye Ningyu smiled and said nothing while listening to the topic of elders. She thought to herself that when she saw Bai Chengzhi in the future, she would tell him about tonight's call. She didn't know how proud he would be.
When everyone was making noise, Jiang Ruoyong looked at Ye Ningyu. "Ah Yun, an old friend is here."
Ye Ningyu raised his head when he heard the words, and saw a figure walking in from outside the main hall. He was slender, but his steps were very steady. Although there were wrinkles on his face, his eyes were still bright.
"Master Zhang." Ye Ningyu stood up and stepped forward to Zhang Wenxiu's side.
Ye Ningyu has never forgotten this historian who once risked his life to record marches in the northern border.
I remember that Emperor Yu once regarded Zhang Wenxiu as his confidant. But Zhang Wenxiu had a sense of righteousness and followed Ye Ningyu to the palace to expose King Rui's crimes. Although his march records did not contain the entire truth, that was the truth that Zhang Wenxiu saw at that time.
.
Because of Ye Yongchang's incident, Zhang Wenxiu could not and had no intention of continuing to serve as an official. He was so disheartened that he had the idea of returning home.
Ye Ningyu was grateful to him, admired him, and felt ashamed of him. Therefore, after Ye Ningyu persuaded him several times, he introduced Zhang Wenxiu to Jiang Ruoyong.
"Ye...oh no, we should call Princess Jinwen now." Zhang Wenxiu nodded deeply to Ye Ningyu.
"The princess is a false name. I am the granddaughter of the Jiang family. How dare I call myself the princess." Ye Ningyu smiled.
"Cousin, now we all call Mr. Zhang." Jiang Manqing came over and looked at Zhang Wenxiu.
"Mr. Zhang." Ye Ningyu changed her words with a smile.
Zhang Wenxiu sighed deeply, "It's been almost two years since we said goodbye to Dadu City. At first, I thought we would never see each other again."
"Yes, is Mr. Zhang okay now?"
"He's very good." Before Zhang Wenxiu could say anything, Jiang Ruoyong stood up and walked over with a smile.
"A year ago he was the general accountant of the Jiang family. Who would have thought that a year later he would become the general accountant of Jiannan Road."
Jiannan Road General Accounting Office? Ye Ningyu was stunned, "How...how do you say this?"
Zhang Wenxiu waved his hand and smiled, "Master Jiang always teases me, how can I use this kind of address?"
"Why not? Nowadays, no one in Jiannan Road knows that you are the accountant who once received the order of the Emperor. Many big businessmen came to the house to recruit people, but I blocked them all. I was thinking, should I
I'll give you some monthly silver, otherwise people will run away sooner or later."
Zhang Wenxiu smiled lightly. Although he didn't express any attitude, everyone knew why he came to the Jiang family. Everyone who was employed by the Jiang family would leave, but Zhang Wenxiu would not.
"I heard that the eldest lady fought with 500 cavalry against tens of thousands of people in the northern border. I felt excited after hearing that. I often thought that if I had been there at that time, I would have written down and recorded all your great achievements and passed them down to future generations." Zhang Wenxiu said it rightly.
He was so excited that the flashes of swords and swords on the battlefield seemed to be hidden in his eyes.
"It's all the credit of the soldiers, it's not a great achievement." Then, Ye Ningyu came up to Zhang Wenxiu, smiled and whispered, "If there is an opportunity in the future, I will talk with Mr. Zhang in detail about the northern border."
Zhang Wenxiu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing. Most of the people sitting in the main hall were female relatives. He opened his mouth as a battlefield. It was inevitable that they would not like to hear these words. What made him, the accountant, disgusting, was Miss Ye's thoughtfulness.
"Hahaha, okay, Zhang will wait for Miss Ye to summon you." After that, Zhang Wenxiu stood up and left. "The second master gave me a lot of work, so I will go back to the accounting room first, and you will call me after dinner."
Zhang Wenxiu is in the Jiang family, and no one regards him as a servant. Everyone knows that in a sense, he is the benefactor of the Ye family. They also know that Ye Ningyu placed him here with the intention of protecting him. Therefore, the Jiang family
Everyone also valued him very much.
Zhang Wenxiu did not rely on favors to be arrogant. He completed his errands very well and saved Jiang Ruoyong a lot of effort.
Half an hour later, three tables were set up in the main hall of the Ye family. The men and women sat separately. There was no wine in front of Ye Ningyu and Ye Ningqiu. They were still in the period of mourning, so the servants of the Jiang family placed them in front of them.
The drinks were replaced with tea.
Everyone had a lively dinner, and Mrs. Jiang, under the instruction of the old lady, personally took the Ye family and others back to the backyard.
Naturally, everyone's house had been tidied up a long time ago, with one room for each person, and the five sisters of the Ye family were thoughtfully arranged in the same large courtyard. Mrs. Jiang lived back in the boudoir where she had been before she got married, even though she was married to a woman of twenty.
For the rest of the year, the boudoir was reserved for her. This was the rule of the Jiang family.
The girls of the Ye family had just finished cleaning up when they heard a noise in the yard.
Ye Ningyu just listened and smiled.
"Axi, are you asleep?" Jiang Manqing strutted into the yard. "I'll come and squeeze in with you tonight."
"Okay, okay..." Ye Ningxi got what she wanted and pulled Jiang Manqing into the room.
Ye Ningyu looked at Ye Ningxi's room and said with a smile, "You two are so close. If you don't know, you would think you are cousins."
Jiang Manqing's head popped out from the door of the room, "Why not, I will announce now that Axi is my cousin!"
"Manqing is also my cousin!"
The two of them were wearing the same pair of pants, and Ye Ning was speechless and laughing.
"Girl, my uncle should have finished his work now. Do you still want to go find him?" Qinglian came in from outside the courtyard.
"Let's go, I haven't had time to talk to my uncle today." Ye Ningyu said, first going to Jiang's yard, and then mother and daughter walked to Jiang Ruozhong's yard together.
