"Uncle Ming Yu, to put it simply, there is a nobleman in Yanjing City, who took a fancy to Ye family fortune and his cousin's career, and deliberately did a scene inviting you to enter the urn. But well, it's silly."
Ye Mingyu was a little dazed. He didn't quite understand what Jiang Li said, but he didn't understand it at all.
The Ye family is a huge wealth in Beiyan. This wealth of wealth is really eye-catching. In addition to the jealous counterparts, there are also other people who have a bad heart. It is not impossible to make use of the Ye family, use the wealth of the Ye family's wealth, and do some tricks. But Jiang Li's words faintly revealed a meaning. Hidden in the Dafeng Medicine Shop, and even the people behind Tong Zhiyang and Tong Zhiyang's brother-in-law, it is very possible that they are powerful.
Powerful people are never easy to provoke.
Everyone knows the reason why the people don't fight with officials. Although Ye Mingyu is lonely and fearless, the entire Ye family is not an iron wall. Being targeted by such a person can escape once, but twice, how about three times? You can't have good luck every time.
He murmured: "How can there be a thousand days to guard against thieves..."
"Uncle Ming Yu doesn't have to be arrogant. The Ye family and the Jiang family are also related by marriage. As long as I'm still alive, the Jiang Ye family will not be cut off. My father and second uncle have a lot of status in the DPRK. This is a noble person, our Jiang family is not a lowly family, and the Ye family can’t be bullied casually. And cousin Ye, now he’s already a servant of the household, starting from such a high starting point, in the future only It will be smoother. When Cousin Ye reaches a certain position, the Ye family will have a natural barrier."
Jiang Li paused and continued: "Why did those people choose to do it now? It's nothing more than the fact that Cousin Ye is still fledgling. It will be even harder to do it when the beasts grow minions. They didn't succeed this time, in the future. It will only get harder and harder to find opportunities."
When she said this, Ye Mingyu felt a little relieved. Thinking of what Jiang Li said, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and said: "This way, your father, the Jiang family is involved, and it is troublesome."
"Why do the family have to say two things," Jiang Li smiled, "Maybe one day, the Jiang family will be destroyed, and the Ye family will still be needed to help."
Ye Mingyu was amused by her, and said, "Ali, you are really bluffing. No matter how the Jiang family will not be reduced to our Ye family to help, you shouldn't say this kind of fantasy to comfort me."
Jiang Li is noncommittal. In her opinion, the future is not easy to say. Right now, the greater the power of King Cheng's united right, the more disadvantaged it is for the Jiang family. Emperor Hong Xiao is weak for the time being, it is unclear whether the world will fall into the hands of King Cheng in the future. Although she was trying to avoid this situation from happening, she could not control what went wrong with the Jiang family before that. Feng Shui turns, Jiang's spring breeze has been proud of for so many years, who knows what will happen in the future.
Jiang Li put away the thoughts in his heart, and smiled: "Anyway, the matter of Gu Xiangdan has been solved for the time being. Tong Zhiyang’s mother and son in the outer room are a problem. Since the prefect of Tong is so trustworthy, then we still follow the agreement. His beauties and sons are returned."
"Just give it back to him?" Ye Mingyu was a little uneasy. After learning the truth written in Tong Zhiyang's letter, he was very unhappy. At first, Tong Zhiyang wanted to pour dirty water on the Ye Family along with those, but it turned out to be good. Although the Ye Family had cleared away their grievances, it would be difficult for Guxiang Satin’s business to recover in the future, but Tong Zhiyang did nothing. This is not fair.
"You have to be trustworthy," Jiang Li smiled kindly, "Tong Zhiyang loves his son so much because Tong Yu is his only incense. It is not a good thing to let his only incense stick out. We will also do this this time. Do a good deed, by the way, help Tong Yu, let the He family also know about Tong Yu's existence, so that Tong Yu does not need to be an illegitimate, but a well-known prefect master. In the future, Tong Zhiyang will rise up step by step, anyway. There will also be successors, right?"
She laughed at Yan Yan and described her sincerity. Every sentence seemed to be for Tong Zhiyang's sake. No one would doubt her kindness when she read it.
Ye Mingyu listened and looked strange. After listening to Jiang Li's last word, he couldn't help laughing and saying: "The big man has something to do, but I only know today that the little girl is not easy to provoke. of!"
When Jiang Li speaks and designs, she is always very open, and only she can do it when he uses the conspiracy into a conspiracy. This method is really not fair and honest. You have to know that you have to be "trustworthy" just now, and when you turn your head around, you will add a lot of trouble to Tong Zhiyang, but as for the Ye family, after listening to Ye Mingyu, he only feels extremely happy and depressed for the past few days. Swept away.
"Tong Zhiyang fears his wife like a tiger. Once he heard that Yixin's place was in He's house, he didn't dare to send someone to follow him. It shows how jealous he is for his wife. Now he wants to let He know the existence of this mother and son, Tong Zhiyang is good. The days are coming to an end. Not to mention, his position as the prefect is still upright, and it depends on whether He is soft-hearted. But as everyone in Xiangyang City knows, the prefect’s wife is the most demanding. It's fierce. Hahaha, Ali, your trick is wonderful!"
"Uncle is absurd." Jiang Li smiled modestly. From the beginning, she never thought about letting Tong Zhiyang go. To keep people like Tong Zhiyang is also a curse. Who knows if in the future he will be a messenger for Ye Family, let him and He Shi stalemate, and become a joke in Xiangyang City. It's also good to spread this joke to Yanjing City, to that person's ears, and to block the other person's heart.
You can't let people do all the bad things, and there will be no punishment at all.
Ye Mingyu is a fierce temperament, just do it when he thinks of it, even if he stood up and said: "It shouldn't be too late. I've long wanted to see the shameful appearance of Tong Zhiyang's grandson. Ali, you are waiting in the house. This time it depends on how I am. Give revenge to the Ye family!"
He turned and disappeared in front of the door.
After Ye Mingyu left, Tong'er asked worriedly: "Girl, if the third master does this, nothing will happen, right? What if He and Tong Zhiyang turn their heads together to deal with us?"
"Don't worry, it won't be." Jiang Li smiled: "The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are full of meat. He must not tolerate Tong Yu. Tong Zhiyang must also protect Tong Yu. Tong Yu alone can make them a couple. It’s just a matter of time. It’s only a matter of time before you get a little provocative."
When she said this, Tonger felt relieved.
Jiang Li did not soothe her brows.
The Ye family's affairs have come to an end for the time being, but her affairs have not yet been resolved. Her real purpose of returning to Xiangyang is not here, but Tongxiang...
Her father, Xue Huaiyuan.
…
Ye Mingyu's actions were quick, a little faster than Jiang Li thought, because there was a farce in Xiangyang that afternoon.
In front of the gate of Tong's mansion, Tong Zhiyang and the prefect's wife He clan had a big fight, and even slapped He clan. People in Xiangyang City know that Tong Zhiyang is most afraid of his wife, like a tiger, and seeing his wife is like a mouse meeting a cat. However, under the blue sky and white sun, Tong Zhiyang ate the courage of the bear heart and leopard, and slapped his wife.
The unidentified people watched with gusto, and then they saw a young and charming woman behind Tong Zhiyang, and a child who looked somewhat similar to Tong Zhiyang. Now things were clear at a glance. The prefect Tong, who had never lingered in the brothel, actually raised an outside room and a son outside. Right now, the Dongchuang incident was discovered by his wife somehow, and of course he had to be cleaned up.
However, Tong Zhiyang seems to be standing at the end of the outer chamber with determination, and he actually did something to his wife for the mother and son of the outer chamber. Is this a good deal? He's family is not a vegetarian. You must know that Tong Zhiyang can have today, but all of them rely on He's family.
"You kill a thousand knives!" He Shi was slapped and her hair was scattered. She didn't care about the appearance of her official wife. She pointed to Tong Zhiyang's nose and cursed: "How dare you beat this bitch? Me? Tong Zhiyang, you are getting bolder and bolder!"
Tong Zhiyang actually regretted it immediately after he slapped He's slap. Everything he had was bestowed by He's. He acted on He's, and there was definitely no good fruit to eat afterwards. It can be seen that when He is about to attack Tong Yu, he can't help it. Tong Yu is his only son, and the poisonous woman He's, even his flesh and blood is not spared.
Thinking about it this way, he was heartbroken and simply yelled: "Poisonous woman, I have had enough of you! I have been married to you for many years and have no heirs. My Tong family can't stop, and I will be the one without children. With this one, I can divorce you. Suqin gave birth to my son in the Tong family. Not only can you not tolerate her, but you also want to kill Yu'er. How could there be such a vicious woman in the world!"
"Did you divorce me?" He's smiled instead of anger, and said: "Okay, since you have the courage to divorce me, you can now go back and write a divorce letter. I will never say more, but you remember it, you Tong’s house, subordinates, and your identity as a prefect, all belong to me. Without me, you are nothing! Don’t you want to keep incense for the Tong’s family? Yes! I think you have no money, you still get it. What come to pass on from generation to generation!" With a wave of her hand, she directly asked the subordinates of Tong's family to follow her back to the mansion, entered Tong's mansion, and ordered the subordinates to "slam" the door shut.
Tong Zhiyang was not allowed to enter the door.
Tong Zhiyang is a prefect at any rate. Although he has been suppressed by He's for so many years, he always stands on the ground in front of the people. Now that the crowd is being swept out, how can his face hang on. He immediately ordered the crowd to disperse, but they were still embarrassed.
Seeing the funny expressions on the faces of the onlookers, Tong Zhiyang was angry and hated. He was angry that somehow he discovered the existence of Suqin's mother and son, and what he hated was that He really didn't care about the relationship between husband and wife. What followed was a trace of uneasy fear.
He Shi can indeed deprive him of everything he has now. If he is not a prefect and has no money in his hands, what should he do in the future
This time, it was in a dilemma and at a loss.
…
Ye Mingyu told everyone about the things at the entrance of Tong's mansion.
Speaking of Tong Zhiyang's ugliness, Ye Mingyu can only gloat. The vivid description of He's pungency and Tong Zhiyang's lustful innervation at the time.
Guan said in a strange way: "Unexpectedly, the prefect of Tong seemed to be uncompromising to He's family. He secretly raised the outer room. It was a violation of the law, even his son is so old."
"Tsk tusk tusk, I really didn't expect it." Ye Mingxuan shook his head, "It stands to reason that Tong Zhiyang has been hiding it for so long, and it can be seen that this matter is already dripping. How can He's braids be caught at this knot of eyes?"
"Why don't you have shoes that don't wet when you walk along the river?" Ye Rufeng dismissed, "The things he does on his own can't be wrapped in paper. Sooner or later, it will be known."
Ye Mingyu and Jiang Li exchanged glances. Only the two of them knew about Tong Zhiyang's mother and son. The reason why I didn't tell Ye Minghui about them was because I was afraid that they would oppose it from the beginning. Although the Ye family is a huge wealth, it is precisely because of their huge business that they are usually extra careful and follow the rules in doing business. Ye Mingyu was different. He was bold and dared to do something. Jiang Li could only discuss with him, not afraid that he would disagree.
"Tong Zhiyang's official road is going to be difficult now." Ye Mingxuan said: "Even to teach a lesson, He will not let him live as well as before, and may reduce his powers."
"It's a good thing for us." Ye Jiaer said: "But... Even so, the business of antique satin has plummeted now."
Tang Fan asked people to explain the ins and outs of the Ye Family's ancient fragrant satin affairs, but the people only care about the results, regardless of the twists and turns. Whether it was framed by others or not, the problem was Ye family's antique satin. You may die if you wear antique satin, so don't wear it.
The weaving yard has restarted weaving fabrics, but no one dared to buy the latest batch of antique satin. As a last resort, Ye Minghui had to suspend all weaving in the weaving yard, but until now, he has not figured out a good way to solve it.
"Or, let's not do this business anymore." Ye Mingyu said carelessly: "Anyway, our Ye family's wealth is enough for several generations, who can still make money easily. Just learn from those rich and wealthy dudes, and spend time in the mountains. Is the water bad?"
This was nothing like what the Ye family could say. Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, Ye Minghui glanced at his younger brother sternly and said: "What you said, it's best not to start with your mother. For so many years, I think you've grown too old, and you'll get back more and more alive!"
Guan's helplessness: "Third brother, it's not a question of whether we do business or not. The Ye family's business was started by father and mother hand in hand. You don't know how much your mother spent on antique satin. Why? Can the Ye Family’s business be ruined in our hands? In this way, under Jiuquan in the future, what face will we have to see Dad."
"Yes, Third Uncle," Ye Jiaer said, "My eldest brother is still serving as an official in the court. I heard that as an official in the court, you need money to do everything. Yenching is no better than Xiangyang, and it doesn't take long for money. I can't let my eldest brother be stretched out in Yanjing City."
"Yeah," Ye Mingxuan also said: "Even Jiaer is more sensible than you." He glanced at Jiang Li again and said, "Furthermore, if there was an accident with Ancient Fragrant Satin this time, if A Li hadn't come forward, by the name of the Jiang family, How can we retreat with our whole body. People help you on this side, and you don’t do business on the other side. How does the Jiang family feel after hearing this?"
Jiang Li understands what Ye Mingxuan meant, and she doesn't mention herself. Although Jiang Yuanbai is a member of the officialdom, in fact, today's officialdom and merchants have the same goal, and they also value interests. Jiang Yuanbai helped the Ye family. What value does the Ye family have in use is nothing more than the fact that the business is a little bigger than the others. When the Ye family didn't do this business, the Ye family would have no use value. Jiang Yuanbai saved the Ye family. This was really nothing, and it was an uneconomical deal.
Although the words are ugly, what Ye Mingxuan said is not completely unreasonable.
"Okay, okay, I don't know what to say." Ye Mingyu was attacked by the group, and he quickly gave up his hand in a begging posture, and said: "I can't tell you, it's all my fault. But it's not right. I have the final say. It seems that the business of antique satin cannot be done. The weaving of our Ye family mainly relies on antique satin, right?"
The Ye family members were silent.
Jiang Li asked, "Is there nothing other than antique satin made by Yejia?"
"It's not nothing else." Guan explained, "In fact, in addition to antique satin, we also weave many other fabrics in our weaving yard. But those fabrics can be woven by others, and they cannot be woven by others. , And not very attractive. When my mother was with Dad, she would make some fashionable fabrics every once in a while, but the only ones that have been circulating for a long time are antique satin."
"Antique satin is a good material and has its own fragrance. Rich and wealthy people like to use it. The flat-headed people have a lot of money in their hands. They are also willing to buy one or two horses for the holidays and festivals, so there is no shortage of people to buy them. "
Jiang Li thought for a while and said, "Speaking of which, the reason why the Ye family started off with antique satin is because antique satin is loved by people and is not irreplaceable. As long as you make it more attractive than antique satin. Can the fabric of this country soon regain its reputation?"
The people in the room were quiet, and Ye Jiaer said, "Cousin, although the words are simple, but for so many years, there are countless merchants that Beiyan has made fabrics. There are so many designs and colors. You can make them, and others can make them. Don't say whether you like it or not. , It is irreplaceable for the four words, nor can it be done simply."
This is also true. Antique satin is irreplaceable because of the natural fragrance of the fabric, which is the secret recipe not passed down by the Ye family. But the secret recipe is not something that can be bought just by looking for it on the street. Sometimes there is no one in ten or a hundred years, and sometimes a secret recipe can save a family.
"Isn't Uncle Mingyu running around all year round?" Jiang Li looked at Ye Mingyu and asked: "If you want to talk about fresh raw materials that no one has seen, Uncle Mingyu should have seen a lot of them."
If you want to find the "secret recipe," you have to find fresh "raw materials." It is hard to find many of the Ye family members in Xiangyang, but Ye Mingyu is different. He runs everywhere in the desert grassland, and he always sees some rare things that no one else can see. Among these things, there may be things that can make new fabrics.
Everyone looked at Ye Mingyu. Ye Mingyu touched his nose and whispered embarrassedly: "I have seen a lot of rare things in my life, but they have nothing to do with the cloth business. When I go out to play, who is thinking about business? where… "
Ye Minghui and Ye Mingyu both showed expressions of hatred for iron and steel. This younger brother is not reliable, it is a well-known thing.
But Jiang Li was not discouraged.
She said: "It doesn't have to be a rare thing related to weaving. For example, the box of peacock feathers that Uncle Ming Yu gave me can also be used on fabrics?"
"Peacock feather?" Ye Mingyu was stunned.
"What peacock feather?" Ye Mingxuan asked.
"The third uncle came back with a few boxes of beautiful shells, like peacock feathers. They are beautiful, but not worthy of silver." Ye Rufeng didn't have a good air, and after speaking, he looked at Jiang Li curiously. "How to use peacock feathers on fabric?"
Ye Mingyu also looked at her. Although he found these shells, they really wanted to use them. He was also at a loss. When he bought these peacock feathers, he didn't expect to do business. He just had money and felt that It looks good, Quan thought it was a rare one and bought it.
"I also thought of this suddenly." Jiang Li smiled: "I don't know anything about fabrics, but just a whim. If you make a mistake, don't laugh at me. There is a small phosphorescence on the peacock feathers. I have seen it. After a book of Zhiyi, there are fairies on the sea islands above, and the clothes they wear have small phosphorescence like water waves, but they are not embroidered with gold and silver threads, like pearls. The colors are bright but not tacky. I think, antique satin Since it can make the fabric have its own fragrance, can the peacock feather also make the fabric produce the sparkling waves as recorded in the strange. Of course, it is not necessary to use peacock feathers, as long as the raw materials are used to make it appear similar to the peacock feathers Guanghua, so it makes sense."
"Moreover, there are records of ambitions. Putting it among the nobles in the city of Yanjing, it must be very popular with the daughter's family. Although the antique satin can't be made, the Ye family's signature is still there. The fabrics of this kind have slowly formed a new business."
Jiang Li didn't say anything hurriedly or slowly, as if she was confident in her own words. In fact, only she knew it, and she didn't really know whether this matter could be done or not. There is a specialization in the art industry, which is a meticulous way to survive, but most things in the world are analogous, and those who do this thing well do not do that thing badly. The difference between doing business and studying is actually not the same.
This idea of her was obviously unexpected. After being silent for an unknown period of time, Ye Minghui stood up suddenly and said to Ye Mingyu: "Go and show me your peacock feathers, and go to the weaving yard tomorrow."
Ye Mingyu was stunned. Before he recovered, he saw Ye Mingxuan become excited and said: "I think this is a good idea, and it may not be impossible. First go to the weaving yard to see if it can be produced. If it can... If it can..." After a pause, it seemed that there was some uncontrollable joy, before he said the next half sentence, "Our Ye family, I'm afraid we are about to usher in a new grand scene."
Ye Jiaer and Ye Rufeng were also a little expectant when they heard the words, they couldn't help showing strangeness when they looked at Jiang Li.
She seemed to know everything, and she was always able to blaze a new path in the desperate place, leading everyone in a new direction. She is always full of hope and reassuring.
Jiang Li smiled slightly when she felt the gaze of the Ye family's thankfulness to her.
She did what she could do.
There is one more thing next, but she can't do it as long as she works hard.
…
Ye Mingyu took everyone to see Peacock Feather, but Jiang Li did not follow.
She went to see Mrs. Ye for a while, and said something with Mrs. Ye. Mrs. Ye's spirit has improved a lot in the past few days. She also heard that Jiang Li proposed to use peacock feathers to make new fabrics, and she was full of praise for Jiang Li's wonderful ideas. Jiang Li stayed with her for a while, and the two grandparents enjoyed themselves and became more intimate.
When Mrs. Ye was tired and lay down to rest, Jiang Li walked out of Mrs. Ye's yard instead of going back to his own yard.
Tonger asked: "Girl, are you planning to go out?"
Jiang Li nodded: "Let's go for a walk, the weather today is also good."
Tonger and Baixue hesitated, then nodded in response. Unlike the Jiang family, the Jiang family’s concierge will question where Jiang Li is going, and Ji Shuran’s people will secretly observe her every move. But at the Ye family in Xiangyang, Jiang Li is absolutely free. No one will spy on where she went or what she did. At least no one in Ye’s family would do it. So it is relatively convenient for Jiang Li to do it. Plot.
Jiang Li and Tonger Baixue first walked directly in the center of Xiangyang City for a while. Because her identity as Miss Jiang Er is now known, Jiang Li also wears a fence. Tong'er and Baixue found it strange and bought some gadgets. Jiang Li looked at them, but didn't have much interest.
These are things she has seen many times, not the first time she has seen them, and naturally there is no sense of newness.
Before she knew it, and didn't know how long she had been walking, Tonger faintly felt that Jiang Li's path was familiar, but she couldn't think of where she had seen it. But Jiang Li used to recognize the road very accurately, and never went wrong, especially in Xiangyang, it was more like a lot of familiarity, so Tonger and Bai Xue didn't think much.
Until Jiang Li stopped in front of a big house.
Tonger looked at the familiar house in front of him, her voice was a little trembling, and said: "Girl, this is pity, pity..."
"Xihualou." Jiang Li reminded thoughtfully.
"Xihualou!" Tong'er said out all of a sudden, and immediately covered her mouth. For fear of being seen, she whispered to Jiang Li, "Girl, why are we here again?"
After coming back to Xihualou, Tonger looked worried for several days, for fear that others would find Jiang Li, an official daughter, visiting the brothel. I never thought that it was not long before that period, but now that the nightmare is about to reappear, Jiang Li is here again!
Could it be that my girl really fell in love with some girl in it? My own girl is not as good as a mirror, and I heard that there are young men, but are there young men in the brothel
Tonger was thinking wildly, and she heard Jiang Li say: "You don't have to go up, wait for me here, I will be back soon."
Before Tong'er and Bai Xue had time to dissuade him, Jiang Li walked forward without looking back. They remembered that this was the "back door" of Xihualou.
Jiang Li is firm step by step.
Some days have passed, and she temporarily settled the Ye family's affairs, but her real purpose of returning to Xiangyang has just begun.
I don’t know what happened to Tongxiang who asked about Qiongzhi
