Mingmen Family

Chapter 4 Ye Family
"Jiaxing was startled suddenly. Mr. Meng passed by and asked about it, and followed the boy to bring Jiaxing home. I am very grateful for this move. But I have been in business all my life, dealing with people in teahouses all day long. I think I still have a bit of a good eye for seeing people. I think that Mr. Meng should not be a close friend."

Although Meng Chengwei only showed a moment of amazement and covetousness when he saw Ye Yaming, most people think it may be nothing.After all, it's completely understandable for a man to be unable to move his eyes away when he sees a beauty.

But Ye Chongming thinks that one can tell the whole leopard from a glance, a person's upbringing and character can be seen only by this one look.

A well-educated and good-natured person should not stare at other women's relatives, let alone show a disgusting and lewd expression.

Maybe it's his old man who doesn't understand the past, anyway, he doesn't like such people.

Because of his integrity, although he lost many opportunities due to his inability to flatter the powerful, he also won the respect of his peers, and he was chosen as the leader of the line.From this, Ye Chongming insisted on his principles even more.

"Your old man said that that person is inappropriate, so of course it is inappropriate." Tao Liyang laughed with him.

The Ye family's family business is bigger than the Tao family's. As the head of the family, Ye Chong is turning sixty next year and eats more salt than Tao Liyang. He is still the leader of the tea business and has the same ability and vision. .

It was almost noon, so Ye Chongming left his meal.

Tao Liyang was sure that Meng Chengwei was not a close friend, and he didn't need to rush back to get close to him, so he immediately had a meal at Ye's other house, and then he rode down the mountain slowly.

And Meng Chengwei waited left and right in the inn, not only did not wait for half of the Ye family, even the Tao family, the owner of the Rugui inn, did not wait.

"You said, what do they mean?" He asked Meng Liangdao.

He really didn't understand why these people still had such an attitude when they heard that he was an imperial merchant.

Only then did Meng Liang know what Meng Chengwei was waiting for.He was also puzzled.

But the doubts in his heart could not be expressed, he said: "I reckon, the shopkeeper of this inn has no knowledge and doesn't know what the emperor means, so he didn't tell the Tao family, let alone send a letter to the Ye family. Otherwise, Tao The family members and the Ye family members should not be like that fly smelling honey, and come here to curry favor with you, Lord."

These words made Meng Chengwei's face pale.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was not a business that was on the pole, so he immediately said, "Let's go to Lin'an."

When I arrived at the Ye Family Tea House in Lin'an, I set up my identity like this.When the news reaches the Ye family, and with his friendship to save Ye Jiaxing, and the Ye family encounters some troubles again, they will not worry about the Ye family not begging to come to their door.

The reason why he didn't use this trick before was because he didn't want to mobilize the crowd.

After all, the Meng family is not the only one eyeing the Jiangnan tea market.

Although the names of Concubine Min and Huangshang are bluffing, anyone who knows the inside story knows that Concubine Min is not favored, and she only gave birth to a princess without a son; Do some small business.

Therefore, to say that the Meng family is an imperial merchant is one or two points better than ordinary merchants.In the capital, not many people bought into him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to think so hard about the Jiangnan tea market.Tea is bought and sold by imperial officials. As long as you go through the route of the Ministry of Accounts, you will be intercepted directly upstream, and you don't have to deal with the tea merchants below.

At this time, it was only half an hour later, and Baiteng County was not far from Lin'an City, so the group immediately got up and went to Lin'an.

……

At this time, the carriage that Ye Yaming and his party were sitting in was slowly stopping in front of the gate of the Ye family's ancestral house.

"Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Mistress, Second Miss and Third Miss are back?" The outer housekeeper, Li Fu, and the inner housekeeper, Nanny Lu, came up with the servants and servant girls.

Because the accompanying nursing home went one step ahead to report the news in advance, they had already prepared soft sedan chairs and were waiting here.

The servants carried Ye Jiaxing into the soft sedan and walked in. The Guan family and the Ye family sisters bumped all the way and didn't want to take the sedan chair, so they walked slowly inside with the sedan chair.

After entering the main hall of the second gate, everyone found that the atmosphere in the house was not right.

Because of Ye Jiaxing's injury, no matter how much Ye's parents loved him or his eldest grandson's status, Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Tao, and the second and fourth family members should wait in the hall and greet him. And send someone to invite the doctor to come.

But at this moment, only Yuanshen's mother and younger sister, the second wife, Yin Shi, and the fourth girl, Ye Yayin, were in the hall, and both of them looked unhappy.Mrs. Ye and Tao, as Ye Jiaxing's grandmother and mother, have always regarded him as a treasure, but neither of them showed up.

"What happened?" Ye Jiaxing asked.

Yin first asked him about his injuries, and then said: "It seems that something happened to your fourth uncle, and now they and your mother are at your grandmother's place in the main courtyard."

Sure enough, bad things came one after another.Ye Yaming sighed secretly.

When Ye Jiaxing heard that his fourth uncle was involved, his heart tightened.In the whole family, the most inconspicuous one is the four-bedroom family.

He ordered in a deep voice: "Take me to the old lady."

So the group turned to the main courtyard again.

Seeing that the second wife and the young master had come, the maidservant in the main courtyard didn't dare to stop her and let them in.

When everyone entered the room, they saw Mrs. Ye Mei sitting at the head with a dark face, the fourth master Ye Hongrong was kneeling on the ground, and the fourth wife stood beside her with her head down, grabbing her handkerchief vigorously.

Dao, the eldest wife, sat at the head of Mei, with an angry look on her face.

Seeing Ye Jiaxing being helped in, Mrs. Ye's expression eased, she got up and walked to him, looked at the bandaged wound on his leg, and asked with concern: "Does it matter?"

"It's nothing serious." Ye Jiaxing was not in the mood to talk about it.

He looked at Ye Hongrong: "Fourth Uncle, what happened?"

Mentioning this, Mrs. Ye's face darkened again.She glanced at the room and said, "Jiaxing stays here, and the rest go back."

Yin Shi's complexion suddenly turned ugly.

There are four houses in the Ye family. The third house died of illness not long after they got married. The third wife lives in seclusion with her posthumous daughter and doesn't care about world affairs, but their second house master is still alive.

Now that something happened to the fourth room, the old lady left the mistress and eldest son of the first room, and excluded their second room. What does it mean?
But because she didn't have a son, the second room only had two daughters.

Ye Yaming has the memory of the original owner, so he naturally knows what Yin is angry about.

When Ye Chongming married his four sons, he had to think a lot about it.

Although he had a good friendship with the group of tea merchants in the tea shop and knew each other well, but considering that being in the same business was not safe, and it was not conducive to expanding contacts, he found a matchmaker, and the daughter-in-laws married to his four sons were all from different professions. All walks of life.
