No one expected that Ye An would deny it on the spot. This was really a slap in the face. After all, he was the only young man in the Song Dynasty who was awarded the title of Marquis!
Don’t let the marquis tattoo on your boy’s body be too obvious!
Xia Song was also slightly stunned, then laughed and said: "Xia Song admires Ye Hou for his true temperament! This way, he won't disturb Ye Hou's nap..."
So Ye An waved his hand casually, which was regarded as saying hello to Xia Song and others. This attitude immediately aroused a kind of dissatisfaction among others.
"How can a noble man like Yehou talk to a bunch of "little officials" like me?"
"Isn't that right? The blessed minister of the Holy Family Zhenglong disdains our company!"
"Hey, that's wrong. I don't behave like this in front of Mr. Jiu Jing!"
Ye An was not moved by the strange voice that came to him. He just changed his position and still leaned against the palace pillar with his eyes closed to relax. He was not interested in the communication between these officials.
It's not like I didn't hear their previous conversation. They were talking about romance and poetry, but as an official, he didn't say a word about current affairs. They were just "showing off their skills".
Especially when they were evaluating women in Tokyo, they repeatedly pulled Qin Mumu out to make comments, which was a bit uncomfortable.
Ye An knew that Qin Mumu, as the courtesan of Tokyo City, would inevitably be judged on his character, but what were these seemingly gentlemen saying?!
"She has a beautiful face, a hand on her waist, and her legs are plump and smooth, and she can be a pillow to sleep on!"
Damn! Do you think I am a dead person?
Not to mention that Qin Mum was granted the title of Lord of Yangcheng County, even if he had no official title, Ye An could not bear the "imagination" of being judged by others as his own woman.
The most annoying thing is, who in Tokyo doesn’t know that Qin Mumu is his woman?
Is it to express my innermost thoughts in front of myself to show my "magnificence", or to disgust myself?
Real scholar-bureaucrats would not say such vulgar words, nor would they be so disrespectful. These people are not so much officials as they are officials.
Although their ranks are not high, it can be seen from the ornaments around their waists that most of these people are officials of Yin En. In the final analysis, they obtained their official status by virtue of their family status and wealth.
Officials who truly entered the imperial examination disdain to associate with them. Xia Song himself entered the official position out of gratitude, otherwise he would not have gotten entangled with them.
Didn't you see that Pang Ji came here not to chat, but to pull Xia Song away from this group of "scum"?
Xia Song was kind to Pang Ji. Pang Ji was an "orthodox" official with the rank of Jinshi. His arrogance and reserve in front of these people almost caused the word "literary qualifications" to be engraved on his forehead.
Xia Song seemed to be greeting Ye An, but actually she just wanted to pull him in and get out on her own!
The "little abacus" was a good one, but it's a pity that Ye An didn't fall into the trap at all. You don't want to stay in this "stinking puddle", so why did you drag me in to support you?
Perhaps because he knew that Ye An had seen through his intentions, Xia Song did not get angry even though he was humiliated. Instead, he talked to Pang Ji. As for those shady officials, they continued to criticize Ye An.
It is easy to form small groups in the officialdom. This is because no matter who they are, they will always face a common "enemy". Now Ye An has become the focus of these people's attacks, so Xia Song calmly accepted Pang Ji's "confession".
leave.
In any case, he still succeeded in diverting the attention of these officials...
As the sound of bells and drums appeared, the official prostitutes affiliated with the four divisions of the Jiaofang began to play and dance. These official prostitutes, like the common people in Tokyo, were just showing off their talents.
The group of people who were still noisy immediately stared at these women dancing to the music.
Such an appearance is really unseemly. No wonder there is a "vacuum" formed around them, and most officials are unwilling to get close.
Ye An glanced at Xia Song, who had already walked to his seat with Pang Ji. He knew that this person had a good way of protecting himself. He neither offended Yin Guan nor made others feel that he was involved.
When Ye An looked at Xia Song, he seemed to sense something. While talking to Pang Ji, he also looked at Ye An. He saw the young prince looking at him with a profound look in his eyes, and he raised his glass with a wry smile.
He said to Pang Ji: "Chenzhi, what I just did was too much and offended others."
Pang Ji looked at Ye An's thoughtful look with a little surprise, and was a little surprised for a moment: "You can think of twists and turns at such a young age? Could it be that you take the initiative to show your kindness?"
Xia Song shook his head slightly, but instead raised the wine cup in front of him and greeted Ye An slightly before speaking: "I see what he is doing. This man is very wise and almost a monster. He should not be underestimated."
Pang Ji suddenly laughed: "Xia Zhigao said this too much! How could he be so intelligent at the age of Dancing Elephant? Although it is inappropriate to attack him in this way, I don't blame myself for doing so."
Xia Song turned to look at Pang Ji, shook his head seriously and said: "Back then, in order to obtain literary qualifications, I stopped Duke Wen Jing's horse at the imperial road. He knelt down on his knees and died today. Do you think this boy is as old as he is?"
How much difference did I have back then? How much of my current position can be attributed to auspiciousness?"
Pang Ji suddenly stopped talking. The auspiciousness could bring Ye An the title he had today, but it would not bring him such a heavy blessing from the Holy Family.
Even Qin Mumu, a Tokyo courtesan who has not yet married Ye An, has been given the title of King of Yangcheng County by the saint. This can no longer be said to be the prosperity of the saint's family but a temporary one.
Of course, Pang Ji didn't know that Qin Mumu's title as Madam Gaoming was entirely due to Ye An giving a watch to Si Tianjian. This was an unknown exchange!
"It's not just a matter of auspiciousness that this son is valued so much by the saint. Not everyone can be qualified to serve as the attendant of Zishantang. You must know that ordinary attendants still have the title of bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he
However, Ye An only has one bachelor's degree student and no Imperial Academy prefix, which shows how far the saint's imperial conferment has reached!"
Xia Song revealed the truth with a simple sentence, which surprised Pang Ji: "So, his family education is really incredible?"
"It's incredible, I don't know, but there must be something unique about it that can even make a saint let go of his arrogance and caution!"
Xia Song's words were correct. Ye An was now a treasure in Liu E's eyes, especially since he claimed to be able to bring down thunder and lightning through human power. This was incredible.
However, Sun Shi's words were very tactful, and he felt more that Ye An's investigation of things could bring a completely different understanding to the emperor, allowing the Tian family to understand the truth of the matter and speak astonishingly.
Pang Ji suddenly smiled: "Brother Ziqiao, if you want to plot someone else's house in Xinlingfang, then it's impossible!"
Xia Song nodded, then smiled bitterly and said: "How many people have hit a wall, but I still want to give it a try, maybe there will be a turnaround, right?"
Pang Ji smiled and said nothing. In his opinion, with Xia Song's methods, Ye An had to "submit obediently" to a large extent.
Xia Song has a lot of real estate in Tokyo. Other officials rely on their official salaries to support themselves, but he can live a more prosperous life than anyone else just relying on real estate.
As a "real estate speculator" in Tokyo, Xia Song had been thinking about Ye An's Xinlingfang house from the beginning. Usually, the house was in the hands of the imperial court, and most of the residents in Xinlingfang were unwilling to buy a house.
The appearance of Ye An made Xia Song see "business opportunities". He is a person who desires both power and wealth...
