Ye An was warmly received, which was a kind of enthusiasm that ordinary people could not escape. The invitations from the dignified Duke of Korea and Duke Qi were a great honor for the wealthy Yamen.
How can you refuse this face given to you?
So Ye An was enthusiastically pulled into the carriage by the two princes, amidst a group of envious and jealous eyes. Only Li Duanyi looked at Ye An's smiling face and was panicked and at a loss.
There were so many people enjoying the snow in the Plum Garden, but the Zhao brothers only invited Ye An to the Qingfeng Tower for a banquet. Others thought it was because the two princes valued him, but why did they only invite him? So enthusiastically?
Li Duanyi, who knew the whole story, didn't think it was enthusiasm.
This is unlucky. It was Zhao Zongli who told the two brothers to attack Ye An, but he invited Ye An. He didn't know how he would be punished by his father after he returned home. The Li family's family laws have always been strict.
It's terrible.
Seeing that nothing could be done, Li Duanyi whispered to Yingniang who was still surprised by Ye An's luck: "The Duke seems to be inviting Ye Hou, but in fact I am afraid it is not in good faith. I am arbitrary in this matter and should not invite him."
Ye Hou came to this plum garden."
Yingniang pursed her lips and smiled: "You think I don't know? My father has long said that if Ye An offended the clan, the clan would definitely fight back. As for who it is... I guess Duke Qi is the most suitable candidate!"
Li Duanyi smiled bitterly and said: "It's a pity that you are such an intelligent woman, but why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Looking at Li Duanyi with some annoyance, there was a trace of dissatisfaction in Yingniang's voice: "Isn't it because of yourself?! You didn't tell me the truth until you got to Meiyuan. It seems that there is no way to save the day. If Brother Ye rejects Han Gong and Qi Guogong, tomorrow
His arrogance will spread throughout the city of Tokyo! My uncle often said that literati can be proud, but Brother Ye is a literati and a member of the nobles. Arrogant scholars can be, but proud nobles will only be isolated! Your Li family is
The eldest princess, who is a relative and has a daughter of the clan at home, can naturally be more arrogant, but what about Brother Ye?! So what if there are more holy relatives? After all, they are still nobles, and even civil servants need to be careful at all times, not to mention still
A founding prince! Why do you think he wants to be a lonely minister? It’s not like he has no choice!”
For the first time, Li Duanyi realized that he had underestimated this noble daughter of the Wang family. Her vision and knowledge in the court were more powerful than his own. She was worthy of having an uncle who was the prime minister in the court...
"What should I do now? If my father knows that I have invited Brother Ye, he will definitely take care of me according to the family law. The Li family's family laws are very strict. I'm afraid..."
Li Duanyi thought that he had no choice but to ask the graceful Ying Niang for help, but Ying Niang was not worried at all and instead made a funny face at him.
"What are you worried about? If Brother Ye is punished, you will be worried about how to go back and explain, but do you think he looks like he is going to suffer? On the contrary, I think these two princes are going to be unlucky. Dad often said that he
Ye An is a master who will never suffer any loss, and he will not be dragged to the banquet if he feels something is not right."
Li Duanyi felt that he was not good enough in front of Ying Niang. This woman who was several years older than him seemed to be much smarter than him, and he seemed to underestimate her, and of course he underestimated the Wang family.
Sitting in the carriage, Ye An felt very comfortable because the two princes were very polite to him. It couldn't even be said to be polite. It should be described as warm.
"Ye An heard that the snow viewing in the plum garden was initiated by the two princes, but I'm afraid it's inappropriate to be so enthusiastic about Ye An? Ye Anke saw that many ladies from high-ranking yamen were still in the plum garden. Master
Didn't you say hello when you left home?"
Zhao Zong said that his hypocritical smile was full of arrogance: "You can't say that. Although my two brothers invited them to come, it would make them uncomfortable to accompany them as much as possible. Today we are trying to match up some people...
…It’s also to keep you company.”
Ye An laughed "Oh" and said: "That's it, but I don't know how Ye An can let the two princes accompany each other? If it's just polite words, forget it, let's go straight to the point and tell the truth! Ye An
He’s not a mediocre person without self-awareness!”
Zhao Zong said in his heart "Idiot" and stopped talking. He knew that the best way to delay Ye An was with his cousin Zhao Zongli.
Sure enough, Zhao Zongli smiled and said: "There is often a rumor in Tokyo that you are a "Yelang", but now it seems that it must be a lie. At such an age, you can be calm and composed in front of the clan, and there is no one like you when you are young. Since you are like this."
Frankly, I don’t hide it, my two brothers are here for the longevity and longevity money from Daxiangguo Temple, and you should also know why we are looking for you!"
Zhao Zongli's attitude was very sincere. If Ye An hadn't known what was going on behind the scenes, he would have believed him. Unfortunately, he saw Hou San and what he left behind.
He said with emotion: "Actually, this is a dispute between Ye An and the Daxiangguo Temple. I never thought that the clan would be involved in it. Of course, there are also nobles. You two should also know that there is no relationship between Ye An and the clan.
How could I do such stupid things that harm others and not benefit myself? But Daxiangguo Temple bullied others too much. Just because I injured two monks who came to collect debts, they wanted to drag the entire clan into a fight with me. Isn’t it a fake act?
? Besides, the Daxiangguo Temple has evil intentions. It may not want the reputation of Buddhism, but it also tramples on and slanders the reputation of the clan and nobles. Where does it put the positions of the people with such confidence? Where does it put the Tianjia family?!
"
After a series of words, even Zhao Zong was a little shaken. He even simply thought that this matter was a conflict between Daxiangguo Temple and Ye An, and it was really Daxiangguo Temple's unethical conduct.
But Zhao Zongli, who was standing next to him, had his eyes fixed. He found that Ye An's simple words had greatly changed his view of him. This was a very scary thing.
But Ye An did not finish speaking, but continued: "Ye An is naturally good at making friends. He believes that it is better to make ten friends than to make one enemy. The more friends you have, the wider the road will be in the future, so from the beginning, he planned to make friends with everyone in Tokyo.
We are making good friends with the businessmen, we are doing woodware business, porcelain business is also going to be done, and we are planning to cooperate with other people for wine, even the treasures in the house are planned to be traded with the Tian family... The two princes have not yet
Do you know? When Ye An came out of home, he brought a lot of head and face ornaments given by his elders, which he had promised to the Tian family... Huh? What happened to you two? "
Zhao Zongli stayed where he was. Zhao Zong said next to him that he was still a little confused, but when he saw his cousin's stunned eyes, he suddenly understood a problem. Ye An's heads and faces no longer belonged to him, and now belonged to the Tian family.
, that large box of exquisite souvenirs is good, but if Ye An gives it to the Tianjia, those things cannot be bought and sold anywhere except the Tianjia, and they may even be in danger of being bandits!
Not only could he not sell it, but he might also have to bear the wrath of Liu E. Zhao Zongli finally struggled and said, "Oh? Are you willing to give things as tribute to the Tian family?"
Ye An waved his hands repeatedly and said: "It's not a tribute, it's a sale to the Tian family. The saint promised hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's not a joke. Officials Lan and Chen can all testify that it's no lie!"
It’s over!
Zhao Zong said that he immediately felt that he had made a big mistake. The saint's anger was not something they could bear. Not to mention that these things had been sold to the Tian family, but Ye An just told the saint that these things would be gone.
Can't move.
Because the saint already knew the existence of these things, once they were stolen from Ye An's home, it would be tantamount to provoking the majesty of the Tian family. With Liu E's meticulous temperament, once they were traced, the consequences would be disastrous.
At this time, the Zhao brothers were already a little timid, and when they looked at the young man with a bright smile in front of them, they trembled unconsciously...
Ye An was sent back to Meiyuan intact. The Zhao brothers even warmly invited him to eat, drink and have fun here. In front of everyone, Ye An expressed his apology for not drinking three hundred cups. Of course, he also told everyone
The master chef of Qingfeng Tower has been invited and will entertain everyone in the plum garden.
