Of course, Ye An's wedding invitation was sent to someone he knew well, and the Wang Hao family was indispensable. Although the prime minister's brother had a lot of thoughts, he was still an old friend from Yangcheng County.
Sending the wedding invitations in person was a sign of respect for some old friends and family friends. Ye An didn't have many friends in Tokyo. Except for Mr. Sun Shi, who had just met Mr. Jiu Jing, his other old friends had only known each other for half a year.
Even Li Zunxu's family can be regarded as old friends. After all, Ye An and Li Duanyi have known each other in Wangjiazhuang. They have crossed paths several times, and they met quite a lot in Tokyo.
The attitude of Wang Hao's family was not cold but not very enthusiastic. After Wang Hao met Ye An in person and said a few indifferent words, he, like Wang Yuan, took out some money and hoped to help Ye An tide over the difficulties.
This means that it is a personal relationship, not a friendship between the entire Wang family. Ye An knows it very well. Of course, there is also the friendship between Wang Hao and Wang Hao's previous investment of 1,000 guan. He is still waiting for the 1,000 guan to make money for the Wang family...
After thanking Wang Hao for his "love", Ye An refused as he treated Wang Yuan, but Wang Hao felt that it was natural. Ye An felt that it would be troublesome if he did not refuse Wang Hao's help.
Wang Hao didn't ask how Ye An raised money to deal with the Daxiangguo Temple. He even felt that Ye An had no way to overcome this difficulty. The only way was to compromise with the Daxiangguo Temple. He took over the longevity money and longevity money.
Too impulsive.
Just like Wang Yuan, Wang Hao persuaded Ye An with "serious words and thoughtful words": "O Changsheng! This matter cannot be taken lightly. Step back. This is the money released by the Daxiangguo Temple itself. If you are a young man like you, you will no longer do it."
It's reasonable, no one will say anything if you regret it, it's just a matter of face, Daxiangguo Temple can still get the money back!"
Ye An didn't say anything, just smiled: "Don't worry, Bachelor Wang, Ye An will handle it himself!"
Wang Hao regarded himself as a young man with blind confidence and did not say too many words. He hoped that Ye An would understand what he meant after being knocked down in the face of reality.
The Wang family sent Ye An away politely, and Ying Niang did not show up at all. However, before leaving, Ye An handed Ying Niang's wooden box to a maid of the Wang family and asked her to turn the corner to Ying Niang.
Ye An accepted the friend in the wooden box. This was a sign of friendship, but the wooden box was replaced with a bright...large glass pendant. The letter clearly stated that this was for Yingniang.
The dowry addition.
Looking back at the tall gate of the Wang family, Ye An smiled silently. Just because a prime minister can appear in a family does not mean that the entire family is so wise and powerful.
Pulling the scarf around his neck, Ye An jumped on the bullock cart and headed to Gaotou Street. Both Wang Yuan and Wang Hao were trying to persuade him to compromise. It wasn't that they didn't think highly of him, but they simply didn't think they could win.
Almost all people living near Gaotou Street are relatives of relatives and wealthy families in Qingyishui. There are few hawkers walking on the street, which is similar to the high-end communities of later generations.
The servants from any house are all well-dressed, and no one can tell that they are not here.
The Prince Consort's Mansion of Li Zunxu's family is close to the Chenhui Gate of the palace. It is one of the houses in Xiyulin Lane beside the Wuzhang River. It is said that his family's mansion is the best and largest among his relatives. This is not only because of Ji
The eldest princess of the country is the sister of Emperor Zhenzong, and because the Li family's business is doing well, they are rich!
The Li family's Prince Consort's Mansion is not only famous, but the two houses behind it have also been purchased. Needless to say, it goes without saying that the financial strength is inseparable from the rewards from the Tian family, as well as from the efforts of the family.
Can't be separated either.
The Li family's efforts are not to enter the court or become an official, but to do business, which is something that scholars look down upon. The Li family has dozens of shops in Tokyo, and they are involved in all walks of life, including Ma Xing Street.
They have a shop in the carriage shop!
As for the main restaurants, there are not a few, which can be regarded as the existence of star-rated hotels in Tokyo. This shows the business of Li Zunxu's family.
Ye An sent wedding invitations according to the order of people he met. The first person he met was Xuanchengzi. Xuanchengzi was also the first person to receive Ye An's wedding invitation, and it was the most grand. However, the old man didn't care, and even some
Melancholy.
But when Ye An needed his help, he took Jingwu and hurried back to Laojun Temple without saying a word. It can be seen that Xuan Chengzi's concern for Ye An was sincere and without any pretense. In the words of Wang Bang, it is similar.
Father and son.
Isn't that true? Only fathers sacrifice for their children without asking for anything in return. From the time he met Xuan Chengzi until now, the old man has almost never asked Ye An for anything in return, and even thinks that these are things he should do.
So Ye An found that he had nothing to repay the master except to provide for Xuanchengzi in his old age. He designed a small courtyard in his house called Taixu Pavilion, specifically for this master, so that he could come and go freely.
The oxcart was still some distance away from Li Zunxu's Prince Consort's Mansion when it was stopped. Ye An looked at Li Duanyi who was turning blue from the cold and asked in surprise: "Why was Uncle Yuan born here?"
Li Duanyi clasped his hands and stamped his feet. When he saw Ye An, he jumped onto the bullock cart as if he were seeing a relative. He heated his hands with a brazier in the cart and said, "It's not because of immortality! I don't know how my brother did it.
Parents and adults who have a higher vision than their parents regard you as their own nephew, no, more than their own nephew!
After hearing about you today, I sent someone to your house to invite you. Unexpectedly, your Tieniu said that you had left home early in the morning and wanted to send the wedding invitation in person, so your Excellency asked me to wait for you at the entrance of this street.
I’m afraid you don’t know where my home is... As I said, I don’t know how such a big plaque came to be!”
"Sir" is a colloquial term for father and elder. Ye An almost didn't turn around, whipped to drive the oxcart, looked back at Li Duanyi who was warming himself and said with a smile: "That's General Li's care for me, a junior, and you too, you can't do more."
Wear something? Do you have to wait for me at the north-south ventilated alley? Not far away is a foot shop..."
Li Duanyi hissed his nose and said with a smile: "I was going to invite you to eat the famous boiled goat on Gaotou Street, but I didn't know you came so fast and several other gentlemen have already been there?"
Ye An shook his head: "Mr. Jiu Jing's house hasn't gone yet..."
"Scare! You came to my house before you went to Mr. Jiu Jing's house? How can Mr. Jiu Jing... Ahem, brother, it's better to go to Mr. Jiu Jing's house first. I'll wait for you at the foot shop, so as not to be accused by others of your lack of etiquette!
"
Pushing down Li Duanyi who was about to jump out of the car, Ye An said dissatisfiedly: "I sent the wedding invitation based on my acquaintances. Although Mr. Jiujing is the most important to me, but I went over to your house after sending it.
There is no need to delay. Besides, your home is the farthest, so it will be fine once the delivery is over. Pingkangfangli is closer, so I can just stop by when I go back."
Li Duanyi rolled his eyes: "You are generous, and you are not afraid of others talking about you, but my family is a foreign relative, so it is okay for you to go to Liang Wang's house first, but it is a little unreasonable for you to come to my house first and end up going to Mr. Jiu Jing's house.
Already."
Ye An smiled and shook his head and said, "Why don't you get out of the car and wait in the cold wind for me to come back?"
"Then let's go home!"
"That's right! Where is your servant?"
"I have already gone back to report the news. My father has told me that when you come, you will go directly to the backyard conservatory to have tea. There are not so many rules for treating you as my nephew."
Ye An looked at Li Duanyi in surprise: "I don't understand why your family is so enthusiastic about me. Is it a little too much? We haven't known each other for a long time! How can we be so careless?
"
Li Duanyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Who knew?! It's my father who is having trouble with you! He values you so inexplicably. You don't suffer anyway, so why are you still complaining!
Come on, my mother is the eldest princess, the aunt of the current emperor. I have never seen such a young talent, but when she talks about you, she keeps praising you... you are very evil!"
