Ye Shijie waited for ginger pears at Xiaozhuli in the tea shop next door.
Early this morning, he entrusted someone to wait outside Jiang's mansion to bring a letter to Jiang Li's maid. Ye Shijie asked her to meet at Xiaozhuli, a tea house. Although he brought the words, Jiang Li would not necessarily come to the appointment in person.
However, Jiang Li finally arrived.
The time for entering school has not yet arrived, and it is not very far from Mingyitang. Simply talking to Ye Shijie will not affect the time of entering school. Jiang Li came to the appointment after finishing the arrangements.
In the tea house, Ye Shijie wore a blue-gray robe. Although it was a simple color, the clothes were very exquisite in color, and the dark patterns on the cuffs were also a rare double stitch. This young boy has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is quite handsome, but the look in Jiang Li's eyes is still a bit wary.
"Cousin Ye." Jiang Li said as she sat down opposite Ye Shijie.
It seemed that he was shocked by the three words "Cousin Ye". Ye Shijie was in a daze. For a while, he didn't know what to say. After a while, he said bluntly, "Why did you help me yesterday?"
In an emergency yesterday, Jiang Li's sudden appearance helped Ye Shijie, and Ye Shijie was very grateful to the little girl who drew his sword to help. But when I was sitting under the light at night, I suddenly realized something was wrong. The second lady of the Jiang family in Jingcheng, wasn't that the daughter of his dead aunt, his cousin
If someone else drew a sword to help, Ye Shijie wouldn't even think about it. The righteous man who could drew a sword to help became Jiang Li, and Ye Shijie would not believe that there was no conspiracy. After staying up all night, Ye Shijie decided to talk to Jiang Li directly and ask clearly what was going on.
"I'll call you Cousin Ye, do you want me to watch my relatives being blackmailed on the street and stand by with my hands?" Jiang Li said very naturally, as if he was surprised why Ye Shijie asked such a simple question.
Ye Shijie was choked by Jiang Li again. After a while, he sneered and said, "Don't be kidding, you don't look down on our merchants, so why don't your relatives talk about it?"
When Jiang Li heard the words, he wondered: "What's the explanation for this?"
Ye Shijie glared at him: "Back when my grandmother went to Beijing to pick you up to Xiangyang, you scolded me in front of the whole Jiang family that the Ye family was a lowly merchant and wanted to cut off contact with the Ye family!" Ye Shijie said, his chest The violent ups and downs seemed to be very agitated: "After my grandmother went back, she suffered a serious illness and spent a whole year recuperating in bed. What kind of relatives are you talking about now, are you kidding me?"
Jiang Li stared at him, blinked, and exclaimed: "Did I say this before?"
Ye Shijie: "..."
"Could it be that Cousin Ye had a wrong memory." Jiang Li shook his head, "I don't remember what I said."
"Don't you remember?" Ye Shijie mocked: "But everyone in the Ye family remembers it!"
"Ah, then it seems that I did say such things." Jiang Li sighed secretly in her heart. No wonder the Ye family would cut off contact with the Jiang family. If Miss Jiang Er really said such hurtful things to the old lady of the Ye family, It's weird to be able to rebuild the old one. However, she would not just take the charge that did not belong to her in vain. Jiang Li said, "It's just that I really can't remember now. I dare to ask Cousin Ye, how old was my age when I said this?"
Ye Shijie said coldly: "Five years old."
"Five years old." Jiang Li frowned. "It should be the governor's age logically, but I don't remember it alone. Cousin Ye doesn't think it's strange?"
"What do you want to say?" Ye Shijie stared at her.
"I want to say that when I was young, my grandmother was far away in Xiangyang. My mother walked early, and my father was busy with government affairs, and was mostly supervised by my stepmother. What I said may not be because someone taught me or threatened me. Say this."
Ye Shijie just wanted to ridicule a few words, when he saw Jiang Li's serious expression, he couldn't help being taken aback.
Jiang Li's words were guesses from the bottom of her heart. The second Miss Jiang was still young, but she could say such hurtful words. Besides, if the merchants are inferior, if Miss Jiang Er thinks, someone must have instilled her views. Based on Jiang Li's current observation of Ji Shuran, Ji Shuran's viciousness may not be used on the young Miss Jiang Er.
Whether it was Ji Shuran coaxing or threatening, it must not be Miss Jiang Er's idea, but the will of others is influencing it.
Ye Shijie was silent for a while, what Jiang Li said made him feel a little shaken. Although he has resentment against Jiang Li, Jiang Li's expression does not seem to be fake at the moment.
"Then what do you want to do now?" After a while, Ye Shijie said, "Want to rebuild with the Ye Family?"
Jiang Li smiled: "I just saved Cousin Ye once with a hand, and Cousin Ye thinks I want to repair the old with the Ye Family. You might as well tell Cousin Ye, if I really want to repair the relationship with the Ye Family, I won't borrow you. Thing."
"Humph." Ye Shijie snorted, but his expression was not as hostile as it was at the beginning. He said: "You speak lightly and speak up with justice. Who doesn't know how shrewd in his bones, otherwise, why not send Liu Zimin to office, alone. Give him steps."
Yesterday, when Liu Zimin and Ye Shijie had a dispute, Jiang Li came forward and turned things around in a few words. Originally Liu Zimin had nowhere to stand, but Jiang Li took the initiative to give Liu Zimin the steps to let Liu Zimin escape.
"In the land of Yanjing, the various forces are intricate, and there are many officials. Although the Ye family is very rich, the Ye family has no official position. Like fat without protection, anyone can eat a bite. Cousin is not because of your wealth. , Is it missed by Liu Zimin?"
Ye Shijie frowned.
"The Ye family is a wealthy and a commoner. Small officials still dare not fight against high officials, let alone common people to high officials. The purpose of letting Liu Zimin live is actually for the good of his cousin. If his cousin does not stop, Tai Changqing The mansion will definitely not give up, the Liu family can afford it, but the Ye family can't." Jiang Li said.
Ye Shijie found that when Jiang Li said this, his expression faded, and he seemed to have some unwilling hatred.
When the people don't fight with the officials, Jiang Li's heart flashes a hint of irony, isn't it? She Xue family is still an official, but because of the small official position, in the eyes of a noble person like Princess Yongning, she is a grassroots, killing it. There are fair truths in the world, but it depends on what is being relied on. Relying on totalitarian power is also justified.
Ye Shijie said, "Of course I know, otherwise I won't spare him once."
Jiang Li looked at Ye Shijie like this, and knew in his heart that the eldest grandson of the Ye family was not impulsive and reckless. She asked: "Forgot to ask, why is my cousin in Yanjing City?"
For no reason, there must be a reason to come to Yanjing City from Xiangyang.
"I'm studying at the Imperial College." Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li with a somewhat provocative tone, "As you said, the Ye family is white and unable to protect the family property, so I came to Beijing to study and become an official."
"Do you want to be an official?" Jiang Li suddenly.
