Ye Boshan and Ye Shiming, father and son, could not get help from Ye Sanyong, so they had no choice but to go to Cui Weizhen in person. Cui Weizhen was not angry or displeased, but just asked the two elders to return as promised.
Ye Boshan originally had small thoughts of staying, but seeing that Cui Weizhen was so easy to talk to, he was afraid that he would anger others and even his second son and his family would have to be driven away, so he finally agreed after thinking about it for a while - the expenses in Beijing were high, and the service was very expensive.
It was already rare for Li Lang to be willing to help, so he was afraid that dragging his family with him to stay would annoy him.
Li Erniang was unwilling and had no choice but to pack her luggage and go back with her husband and young son. Ye Zhenzhen didn't learn about these changes until she saw them off. She remained silent in front of others and didn't ask about the matter until she came back from the dock.
Cui Weizhen said: "Ye Shiming is determined to be a traitor. Even if he is sent back to Linxi County, he can go to Beijing. It is better to take the opportunity to send the two elders back, lest he protect Ye Shiming in the future and bully you as an elder."
Ye Boshan can definitely do this kind of thing. Although the first house is no longer what it used to be, their hearts have been tilted towards the second house for most of their lives. If Ye Shiming causes any trouble in the future, Ye Boshan will definitely want the second house.
Intervening.
But thinking that Ye Shiming was still there, Ye Zhenzhen was a hundred unhappy and said, "What was Xu Anhao's idea? He tried so hard to keep Ye Shiming's family in the capital. Is it because he was too worried because he had too much money?"
Cui Weizhen didn't speak, because he was thinking, his sharp phoenix eyes narrowed habitually, and he patted Ye Zhenzhen's back to comfort her, and said slowly: "I can't think of anything right now.
, it may not be certain in the future.”
Ye Zhenzhen was confused and didn't understand why he said this. Cui Weizhen didn't explain much. He had been preparing for future reforms recently and had been inspecting land and population registration at the Ministry of Household Affairs. There were vague rumors.
The news has made some people unable to sit still.
Recently, Cui Weizhen rarely talked about official affairs with Ye Zhenzhen. Ye Zhenzhen didn't notice anything unusual, but just remembered one thing: "By the way, how is Zhang Yun's arrangement recently? I'm too busy recently, so I don't care.
If you don’t like him, have you sent him some books to review? Do you want to invite someone over for a drink?”
"No need, he has been busy reviewing poetry and books recently, so he probably has no time to socialize."
Cui Weizhen always remembered to pay his respects to his old friend. A few days ago, he found time to invite Zhang Yun and Xu Ziqin out for a drink. Zhang Yun was very excited to receive the exam materials he prepared. He drank a few more drinks at the table and kept reminiscing about the three events.
The atmosphere at the table became increasingly stiff and awkward.
For reasons they knew well, the relationship between Xu Ziqin and Cui Weizhen gradually cooled down. The former was studying peacefully in the Imperial College and had little contact with Cui Weizhen. They were neither far nor close to each other, barely maintaining the feeling of being classmates.
However, for some unknown reason, Xu Ziqin seemed particularly guilty and uncomfortable when they met this time. Zhang Yun thought he had a grudge and couldn't let go, but Cui Weizhen secretly paid attention to it and asked someone to investigate in private.
Knowing that Xu Ziqin did something wrong——
He leaked the news about the Ye family to Xu Anhao.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the help of the Xu family, a local snake, how could Xu Anhao have quickly and accurately grasped the weakness of the second wife of the Ye family and deceived the whole family into going to the capital.
Regarding this result, Cui Weizhen was not surprised at all. He changed his mind easily and assumed that he would no longer have this friend in the future.
