Ye Xiaotian's gift to Yingying and Zhan Ning'er was naturally from the "tycoon's grocery store" that "only sells expensive ones, not the right ones", and it was only there that one could find such a coquettish bag made of Tianhuangshi as a rouge box And boring baby.
Originally Ye Xiaotian didn't want to buy these two boxes of rouge and gouache, but the tycoon gave him half-bought half-free, and gave him a very good reason: "Brother, I will tell you, such a treasure is sold everywhere in the world." Just two boxes.
You also know that in the whole world, there are only paddy fields that are several miles long and narrow on both sides of a small stream outside Shoushan Village in Fujian Province. That field has been excavated countless times, and the number of paddy fields is getting less and less. Who would be willing to use it to make a rouge box, one or two Tianhuang three liang of gold! "
Ye Xiaotian said: "No one is willing, why do you have two boxes here?"
The tycoon said: "There are always some whimsical people in the world. I don't know who is out of tune. They thought of using Tianhuang to make rouge boxes, but they couldn't be sold when they were shipped to Nanjing and Beijing. My shop advertises that there are no surprises. Strange and strange things, just buy it. If you buy a box today, there is no guarantee that no one else will buy another box in the future. This is a gift from you to my future sister-in-law. If she finds out that others are using it The same thing, how boring is that?"
Ye Xiaotian murmured: "That's what I said..."
The tycoon said: "Why don't you take both of these boxes, brother, and give them to sister-in-law. There is no second copy in the world. This is what you want, brother!"
Ye Xiaotian said happily: "Not bad! You kid, you finally said a few reliable words!"
In this way, Ye Xiaotian bought back these two boxes of treasure-like rouge and gouache, but gave Zhan Ning'er a copy on Ye Xiaotian's impromptu mind. In that ambiguous atmosphere, most men would lose their heads, but seeing Zhan Ning'er's seemingly disdainful but actually happy appearance, Ye Xiaotian was also very relieved. No matter what, he finally reciprocated some of his love for Ning'er , the most difficult thing to live up to the beauty...
Zhan Ning'er only lived in Ye Xiaotian's new house for two days before rushing to Guiyang. When she left, Fang actually felt a little bit secretly happy, not because of the gift from Ye Xiaotian, but because she was the first woman to live in Ye Xiaotian's new house.
The main building complex of Ye Xiaotian's house has been completely built and ready for occupancy, but there are still many places that are in the final stage, including the guest rooms and wing rooms across the courtyard from east to west. Now that Miss Zhan is here, Ye Xiaotian can only arrange for her Live in the master bedroom of the main house.
According to the custom, this should be the living place of the hostess and hostess of the house. Zhan Ning'er was so sad in her heart that she was able to sleep here as a way of comforting herself. When she dreamed back at midnight, she thought that this was the residence of the mistress of the Ye family's mansion. happiness.
After Ye Xiaotian's mansion was completed, Ye Xiaotian immediately thought of his parents. In the past, he traveled alone and lived in no fixed place, so he never thought of reuniting with his family. Now that he has become an official, he will be a venerable gu teacher in the future. It was easy to take care of, so I thought about bringing my parents over.
It’s just that it’s a long way to go to the capital, and he has an official position, so it is impossible for him to return to Beijing without being transferred. Ye Xiaotian was worried that his parents would not leave their hometown, or that his elder brother would not let his elder brother give up the iron rice bowl that could be passed down from generation to generation, so he did fully prepared.
He prepared a generous gift for his family, to show that he was doing well here, so as not to worry about the family, and he wrote a long letter with hype in it, just to convince his father and sister-in-law. In his family, the father is in charge, but in the elder brother's house, the elder sister-in-law is in charge. As long as the two of them agree, I believe that both the mother and the elder brother will have no objection, then the family can be reunited.
A cart full of gifts was prepared, and the letter was more than ten pages long. After everything was prepared, Ye Xiaotian didn't want to deliver it through Zhao Wenyuan. One thing is not as simple as a letter. A carload of valuable gifts needs someone to deliver and take care of them. Zhao Wenyuan is just the land lord of this section of the post road in Huxian County. The favor of other post stations is too great.
Furthermore, Zhao Wenyuan has the background of the Yang family in Bozhou. Although he needs Zhao Wenyuan as a strategic ally in order to deal with Xu Boyi, Hua Qingfeng, and even the prince who is close to Xu Boyi, he does not want to form a deep friendship with him. .
I believe that Zhao Wenyuan seldom comes out directly, and he often communicates with him through his wife's diplomacy, and he also holds the same idea as him. In this way, they can maintain a good relationship, and if there is any disturbance, they can also know each other's plans in time. Keep moving forward and backward.
Once the relationship breaks down, the two can get away quickly, so that they won't have too much ties to each other. It's just that the female relatives of the two have always been friendly, so there is room for rebirth, and this is also the usual method used by most cautious officials.
In this way, Ye Xiaotian thought of the tycoon. The tycoon's business is very big now. He just opened a branch in Tongren Mansion, and he is planning to open another "tycoon grocery store" in Guiyang Mansion. There are more, so he often sends people to search for rare and rare things in the prosperous places of the Central Plains, the big cities and the big fu. Part of the management network was entrusted to him, and it was most appropriate to ask him for help in this matter.
Ye Xiaotian approached Daheng Luo and told him that the tycoon would naturally agree to what his sworn brother told him. It just so happened that he was going to send people to Beijing recently. Taking advantage of the new year, he went to the capital to collect a batch of rare treasures, so he immediately asked people to pick them up. He bought all kinds of gifts that Ye Xiaotian prepared for his family, packed a car by himself, and left Hu County with his caravan.
Ye Xiaotian came out from the tycoon's place and walked along Shizi Street to the county government office. Not far away, he saw Su Xuntian coming out of a small alley, and beside him were two young men in two-piece clothes, full of scorn, Walking is like a spring under the soles of the feet, always trembling.
But they were respectful to Su Xuntian, Su Xuntian said a few words to the two of them, then took out two ingots of scattered silver from his sleeve, and tossed them in the air, the two rascals were like dogs seeing bones , rushed forward, caught the silver thrown by Su Xuntian in the air, and thanked Su Xuntian with a nod and bow.
Su Xuntian waved his hands impatiently, and when he raised his head, he happened to meet Ye Xiaotian's eyes. Su Xuntian was overjoyed, and immediately turned his head and said something to the two rogues, and the two rogues glanced at Ye Xiaotian , grinned flatteringly at him, and then slipped away.
Su Xuntian walked towards Ye Xiaotian quickly, and said happily, "Master Dianshi."
Ye Xiaotian turned around and walked side by side with him towards the county government office, and said as he walked, "Those two people are the bosses in this area, right?"
Su Xuntian smiled and said, "Yes! Master Dianshi also recognizes them?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "You are a head-hunter in charge of arresting criminals and thieves. If people see you interacting with them, there will be criticism. Be careful and don't show off."
Although Su Xuntian disapproved in his heart, he also knew that Ye Xiaotian had good intentions, so he nodded and smiled: "Yes, I understand."
Ye Xiaotian heard about Su Xuntian's recent work from Team Leader Zhou, and he wanted to teach him again, but he didn't want to be too harsh and hurt the friendship between each other. After all, Su Xuntian is the brother-in-law of the county magistrate Hua Qingfeng, but he has always stood by his side unswervingly. Just because of this affection, he should not be too harsh on this friend. Thinking of this, Ye Xiaotian only sighed secretly in his heart.
Not far ahead, I suddenly saw a commotion in the crowd, and many passers-by gathered around, as if something had happened, Ye Xiaotian and Su Xuntian didn't quicken their pace, they walked closer, and heard a burst of shouting and cursing from the crowd, Ye Xiaotian frowned, and said, "Go and have a look!"
After hearing this, Su Xuntian said, "Get out of the way, let the government handle the case!"
Those onlookers turned their heads and saw that Su Xuntian was dressed in a policeman's uniform and hurried out of the way. They saw a few thick and burly men in the crowd, punching and kicking a person who was curled up on the ground with his hands He hugged his head, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and was beaten miserably. He kept crying, "Brother Li, please give me a few more days, and a few more days!"
A big man with a scar on his face kicked him viciously in the heart, the pain caused him to roll his eyes and make uh-uh, unable to breathe for a long time. The scar-faced man spit on his face and scolded: "How many more days? If you allow a few more days, you won't be able to sell the house and land. If you can't pay me back the capital with interest today, I will beat you to death!"
As he said that, the scar-faced man kicked away again, kicking the man's nose crookedly, causing him to crouch into a ball, screaming ho ho ho.
"stop!"
With a loud roar, Su Xuntian came out of the crowd and shouted: "Li Yanting, what are you doing?"
The big man who was beating others turned his head to look, and quickly smiled, and greeted him: "Ah! So it is Su Butou. Su Butou, this guy defaulted on the money he owed me, so I just teach him a lesson. "
At this time, when the man lying on the ground saw someone from the government coming forward, he shouted for grievances: "You are wronged. You only paid two tung oil money on credit. Now Li Yanting wants me to pay back the twenty-two. It's not up yet!"
Ye Xiaotian glanced at the big man surnamed Li, and said, "Are you a lender?"
This Li Yanting didn't know Ye Xiaotian, but he knew how to read his words. Seeing that Su Xuntian respected Ye Xiaotian very much, and when he stepped forward to ask questions, he deliberately stood at the side and refused to stand in front of Ye Xiaotian, so he knew that this person must have a higher status than Su's catcher. Still Gao, because of his polite manner, he grinned at Ye Xiaotian and said, "Lending is out of the question! The villain just has a little savings in his family, and he can make a little profit by lending to others for emergency relief."
The man lying on the ground covered his nose and cried, "In just one year, two picks of tung oil money has become twenty-two picks. Is this still a little profit?"
Li Yanting's complexion changed, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and said with a low face, "Ruo Xiaosheng, don't talk nonsense in front of the official! It's written in black and white, you signed it and pledged it, did I force you to agree?" ? If you accept the debt, you have to pay back the debt, and this lawsuit will go to heaven, and I will not worry about you."
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "Let me see the contract!"
