Mingmen Family

Chapter 275 The Capital
Because there are old people like Ye Chongxian, and housewives like Yin Shi, Ye Yayin, and Ye Yayu who have never been out of the house, Ye Yaming not only invited a doctor to accompany him, but also walked slowly all the way, and asked his servants to arrange accommodation and food in advance Alright, let's have dinner when the time comes, leave when the sun is high, and rest early.

In this way, the original three-day journey took five days, and the group of them appeared at the gate of the capital.

"Ming'er, if you have anything to say in the past few days, you can send someone to tell you. Don't be polite to your aunt. If there is nothing wrong, I will wait to drink your new wife's tea." Mrs. Qi raised the curtain of the car and talked to Ye Yaming. bid farewell.

"Okay, Aunt has worked hard." Ye Yaming said with a smile.

Seeing the Qi family's carriage leaving, but Lu Guanyi riding on the horse and not moving, Ye Yaming couldn't help asking him: "Why don't you go?"

"I'll send you there first, and identify the door."

Ye Yaming smiled and put down the curtain: "Success."

The carriage of the Ye family members happened to be parked there, and everyone listened to the conversation.

After the carriage started slowly, Ye Yaming's carriage and Lu Guanyi, who was riding beside him, left. Ye Chongxian's grandson said to his grandfather, "My son, the third younger sister, is very important to you."

Ye Chongxian nodded: "No wonder your seventh uncle wants your third sister to be the successor head of the family. With the ability to make tea and the support of Xuanwuhou Mansion, their Yifang business will only grow bigger."

Lu Guanyi didn't go into Ye's house, he just sent Ye's family to the alley, recognized the door, and went back to Lu's house.

The Lu family's house is a three-entry courtyard, and the location is neither good nor bad.A house in a good location is no match for the Ye family.It is not a question of money, but of insufficient status.

They live in this area are rich but not high-status rich people, or small officials with low official ranks.Of course, there are also those whose family circumstances are gradually declining, and some who have achieved high official positions.If people in this era don't get rich suddenly, they often live in one place for several lifetimes, and neighbors know each other well.

At this moment, more than a dozen carriages from the Ye family drove into the alley, immediately attracting all the idlers in the alley to come out to watch.

"Whose carriage is this?"

"Hey, so long? How many cars is this?"

"Whose carriage is it?"

"Ye's, it's parked in front of Ye's door."

"Go, have a look."

Ye Hongchang and Ye Hongsheng got out of the car first, went to the front to help the elders of the Ye family down, and then helped the elders of other clans, and let them in.The carriage they were in drove forward, and it was about to drive to the back door and stop at the stable.

The carriage in which the female family members were riding had just arrived at the gate of Ye's house, and the maids hurried down to help the lady get off the carriage.

Li Fu also came, and when the ladies came in, he directed the young servants to move things.

At this moment, some onlookers couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "What is your Ye family doing? Why did you move so many things here? It seems that it is a dowry?"

The Ye family has also bought this house for more than twenty years, and the neighbors naturally know that the owner of this house is the owner of Jixianglou, a tea merchant from the south of the Yangtze River.

Because he is a neighbor, he is still a coward, so Li Fu can't be neglectful; besides, once a happy event is held, everyone will know about it, and there is nothing to hide.

He laughed and said, "My girl is married to the capital, so she won't come here to prepare for her marriage. She will get married from here in a few days. Then everyone will come to drink the wedding wine."

"Ah, it's a good thing to marry in the capital. Congratulations. Whose family did you marry?"

"Xuanwuhou Mansion."

"Xuanwuhou's Mansion?" The tone of this question was raised, full of surprise, "Ah, your girl is married to a good man."

Li Fu knew what these people were thinking, he probably felt that the Ye family's family background was not worthy of Xuanwuhou's mansion.It's just that people know how to behave and only say nice things.

He responded with a few words, and when he saw that the young lady had finished moving the things, he apologized and followed others into the mansion.

Only then did the onlookers discuss and then slowly dispersed.

A man who looked like a salesman carrying a load followed suit.

Not long after, this man entered Meng's house and told the news to Meng Chengwei's father, Meng Xianzong.

"After waiting for so long, it's finally here." Meng Xianzong cheered up, "Go and call Jiawang and Jiaxing."

"Yes."

Meng Xianzong walked up and down the room, gnashing his teeth.

The Meng family was originally an imperial merchant, with a fifth-rank official title, doing royal errands, and there was Concubine Min in the palace to take care of them. Their lives were better than those of the fourth-rank officials. How many people came to curry favor with them.

As a result, his son was imprisoned twice, he was expelled from office, and the title of Huangshang naturally disappeared.Concubine Min was also reprimanded by the emperor.The most frightening thing is that the British public somehow knew that the Meng family wanted to use them as wooden warehouse envoys, and in turn caused trouble for the Meng family.

Meng Chengwei died in exile last year, and the Meng family's business could no longer continue because people kept making troubles, and they lost a lot of money to others.They sold their original house, moved to a remote small house, and sold many servants.In order to avoid troubles from the British government, they dare not do business anymore, and only rely on the rent of the remaining three shops.

How could Meng Xianzong swallow this breath?He didn't think it was his son who provoked the Ye family first. He tried to seize the Ye family's tea recipe but failed, and also wanted to kill the man of the Ye family. Finally, he wanted to use the power of the British government to plot Ye Yaming's marriage.He only thought that the reason why the Meng family fell to this point was all because of the Ye family.

It's just that the Meng family's financial resources have been greatly reduced, and there are only three or two kittens left, and Meng Xianzong has neither the courage nor the ability to go to Lin'an to harm people.There, the Ye family was a local snake, and it was simply unrealistic to kill Ye Yaming who was protected by the servants without anyone noticing.

He planned to wait until Ye Yaming came to the capital to marry.Therefore, during this period of time, he sent people to hang around Ye's house to inquire about Ye Yaming's marriage.

Now, finally let him wait for someone.

After a while, three servants came in and saluted together: "Master."

"Ye Yaming and Lu Guanyi's marriage is scheduled for the ninth day of October. Now it's September 20th, and there are still [-] days left. During this period of time, the three of you have to work hard. I guess Ye Yaming will definitely go to jewelry and satin before getting married. Take a look at the shop, Jia Wang and Jia Xing, you two go to the door of Ye’s house to watch during the day, and once you see Ye Yaming going out, send someone to notify Jia’an. Jia’an finds out where Qian Yongshou is every day, trust you So I asked Qian Yongshou to lead Qian Yongshou to the place where Ye Yaming passed by, and let the two meet."

"When this matter is over, I will return the certificates of the three families to you. Let's be masters and servants. If the Meng family is like this, I don't want to drag you down anymore."

As he spoke, Meng Xianzong pretended to wipe away his tears.

The three young servants were all refreshed after hearing this.
