Mingmen Family

In the Qi mansion, Qi Ji saw his father listened to his report, and he didn't speak for a long time, so he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Father..."

Qi Zhipei turned his eyes to his son.

Seeing his father looking at him with a delicate expression, Qi Ji couldn't help feeling a little guilty in his heart: "What, what's wrong?"

It's probably not a good thing for my father to look at him with such eyes.

"You met Miss Ye San at the same time as Zimo. Zimo fell in love with her and proposed to marry her. Why didn't you like her then?" Qi Zhipei suddenly asked his son a question.

Qi Ji was puzzled: "What?"

When he realized what question his father asked, he immediately jumped up: "Father, what are you thinking? A friend's wife should not be bullied..."

"Shut up!" Qi Zhipei snapped, "Answer my question."

Qi Ji was often punished by his father for being slow in reading, and he was afraid when Qi Zhipei's face sank.

Seeing that his father got angry, he immediately became honest. Recalling his father's question, he answered honestly: "Miss Ye San is too powerful. I know how she dealt with Meng Chengwei, and how she dealt with Song Yifeng. Such a powerful person, If one day I do something to offend her, she will have to punish me so that my life is worse than death? In contrast, I still like gentle and virtuous women."

Qi Zhipei snorted lightly and cursed, "Excellent."

Qi Ji felt miraculous, and smiled heartlessly: "Hey, Zimo asked me the same question back then, I told him, and he replied with the same two words as you: Promise."

Qi Zhipei didn't want to talk to this stupid son anymore: "Okay, you go back to your room first. I'll give you an answer after I discuss it with Master Wu."

"Yes."

Not long after Qi Ji left, Master Wu hurried back.

After learning that the servant had actually planned on the Ye family, Master Wu went out to inquire about the news.Although the spearhead was pointed at the Ye family, the Qi family was a collaborator; besides, Longjing was a tribute tea, and the Ye family was on the territory under the jurisdiction of Qi Zhipei.Whether public or private, he cannot stand by and watch this matter.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Master Wu told Qi Zhipei how Xiao Lizi hooked up with Wang Kuan, and how he came to the teahouse early in the morning.

What Ye Yaming can think of, Qi Zhipei and Master Wu can naturally think of.

"It seems that this little Lizi went to Wang Kuan on purpose, just to say that sentence in front of Ye Chongming." Qi Zhipei half-closed his eyes, "I don't know who the master behind him is, but it definitely can't be the third prince. "

If the Ye family is just a tribute tea called Longjing, it may not be enough to attract the hearts of the elites in Beijing.But now under the name of the Ye family, there are a large tea mountain in Huizhou and Fujian, and there are tea recipes that surprise the world from time to time.Such a big fat piece of meat, apart from some ambitious princes, princes and nobles are all greedy.

Therefore, although the second prince is the object of suspicion, others cannot be ruled out.

Qi Zhipei rubbed his brows: "At the beginning, Ji'er wanted to do business with Zimo and chose the Ye family. I really didn't expect the Ye family to be able to do business like this."

If it could be predicted, he might not agree to Qi Ji's involvement.

Their Qi family has no intention of fighting in the court, and they are not short of money, they just want to be an official in peace.Now that you are involved in this vortex, it will be difficult to get out.

Master Wu doesn't think so: "If you don't stand in line, there is no risk, but it is also difficult to be promoted. I think that partnering with the Ye family in this business can become a ladder for you to advance, and there is no risk of standing in line. To Dong Weng, this is a good thing rather than a bad thing."

Qi Zhipei thought about it, and nodded in agreement: "You still think it through."

After finishing speaking, he asked: "Then you think I should help the Ye family?"

"It's not helping the Ye family, but helping yourself."

When Master Wu inquired that it was Xiao Lizi who wanted to get acquainted with Wang Kuan and revealed to Ye Chongming that his master was the third prince, he thought about the pros and cons of the matter on the carriage back.

"Mr. Lu's cronies have already taken the black tea to the border. Anyone who is interested can easily connect Mr. Lu with Ms. Ye as long as they look it up and think of the betrothal gift when Ms. Ye San was engaged. Not long."

"Besides, Mr. Lu is nineteen years old, and Mrs. Ye San is seventeen. The historian has fallen, and Mr. Lu's position as the eldest son has been determined. Their marriage is just around the corner, and there is nothing to hide about this marriage. Mr. and Mr. Lu We are together every day, and as soon as the Lu and Ye family's marriage comes out, and our cooperation with the Ye family, anyone who is interested will be able to find out."

You must know that Qi Ji went to Huizhou and Minzhou in person, and he even went to meet the local prefect in the name of Qi Zhipei's son.It's just that those two places are high mountains and the emperor is far away. It's not intentional, and it's hard for the news to reach the capital, so no one knows about the cooperation between the Qi family and the Ye family.

In fact, Lu Qi and Ye's cooperation with the Ye family was originally intended to be hidden from the historian, in order to protect the Ye family from being oppressed by Lu Guanyi's stepmother Shi, not to hide it from everyone.

"Although the tea recipe of the black tea was brought out by the Ye family, both the Qi family and the Lu family have a share in this business. If that's the case, you might as well take advantage of the present and tell me that the background of the Ye family is you and Mr. Lu." Shake it out. Anyway, on the face of it, Mr. Lu belongs to His Highness the Crown Prince. Whether the people behind Mr. Li think of the Crown Prince, we have nothing to do with it. As long as they don't come to provoke the Ye family, it has nothing to do with us."

Qi Zhipei nodded: "OK, then do this."

He made a bow to Master Wu: "I have to ask Mr. to take care of this matter for me."

Naturally, he couldn't come forward in person, so Master Wu had to go to Xiao Lizi and talk about the "background" of the Ye family.

Master Wu hurriedly avoided this ceremony: "Dong Weng is polite. I will work for Dong Weng, as it should be. Dong Weng doesn't need to be too polite."

……

On the Ye family's side, Ye Yaming went back to the yard to eat, and took a nice nap.

Fu Sheng was free for half a day, and she didn't want to do anything else, so she took a new book of travel notes that Bai Rui bought for her, read it for a long time, and went to the room to have dinner with the second elder, and only then did she receive Lu E's report.

"Girl, Mr. Qi is here, the old man asked you to go to the study in the front yard."

When we arrived at the study, Qi Ji was indeed present.

Seeing Ye Yaming coming in, he took the initiative to say without waiting for her to ask: "My father sent Mr. Wu to tell the waiter. The man was full of surprise, and said that the third prince just likes tea from the Ye family, so he wanted to see if he could Make a deal with the Ye family. Since this business is a joint venture between Xuanwuhou Shizi and me, the third prince will not intervene in the future. He is very polite and shows his goodwill to Master Wu again and again."

Ye Yaming and Ye Chongming looked at each other.

Ye Yaming poured a cup of tea for Qi Ji himself, poured another cup for himself, lifted it up to Qi Ji and said with a smile, "I use tea instead of wine, thank you Lord Qi for your help."

Qi Ji laughed and said: "We are in the business together. My father helps, isn't it right?"

Ye Chongming looked at Qi Ji with a very loving gaze.

Sure enough, it is normal for foolish boys like Qi Ji and Ye Jiaxing.His family's monstrous granddaughter has been enlightened by a fairy, so she must be different.
