Mingmen Family

Chapter 58 The Mid-Autumn Family Banquet
As soon as Song Yifeng came in, Mrs. Yu couldn't wait to tell Song Yifeng about the accident in the Ye family.

"It's great now. If the Ye family becomes a shabby household, you can retire." Yu said happily.

Song Yifeng shook his head: "Mother, don't reveal your thoughts in front of others. It is impossible for me to divorce Miss Ye San now."

Yu was anxious: "Why?"

"As soon as the Ye family falls, we will retire. Do you think your son's reputation is too good?" Song Yifeng said.

The reputation of a scholar is especially important. If the Yue family is defeated, he will immediately withdraw from the marriage. How will those adults who want him to be their son-in-law think of him?Would they still dare to marry their daughter to him?

He's not that stupid.

Yu Shi was stunned, and then sat down slumped: "Then what should we do? Do you really want to marry that merchant's daughter?"

Ye Yaming is married to Ji, and the Ye family will soon mention marriage.Especially with the Ye family looking dilapidated now, how could anyone not think of a way to catch this piece of driftwood from the Song family?

"It doesn't matter." Song Yifeng said calmly, "If they send someone to propose marriage, you tell them that I want to concentrate on my studies and take the next exam. The marriage will be discussed after I finish the exam. "

"Yes, yes, yes." Yu said happily, "That's the way."

Song Yifeng was silent for a while, and sighed softly: "It would be great if you can add fuel to the flames of the Ye family's affairs."

Yu frowned.

After thinking for a long time, she sighed, "We are still too weak."

The wreck still has three nails.Even if the Ye family is ruined, their connections and foundations are still there.If their mother and son wanted to do something and the Ye family found out, they could ruin Song Yifeng's future with just a finger.

A son is his life.Mrs Yu dare not gamble with her son's future.The family background of a daughter-in-law is important, but nothing can compare to the future of a son.Only when Song Yifeng was admitted as a Jinshi and became an official, they were qualified to pick and choose.

She raised her head and looked at Song Yifeng: "Son, you have to work harder and strive to be admitted to Jinshi as soon as possible, otherwise, you will have to be tied to the Ye family for the rest of your life."

Song Yifeng nodded vigorously.

He decided to let people spread the rumors about the Ye family in the school.If the news reached the adults, and the adults moved their minds to let him withdraw the engagement, then the withdrawal would be effortless.

Now he is bound by the marriage of the Ye family, and he dare not let those official ladies take a look, for fear of making the adults angry and ruining his future.

So, now we can only pass on the news.

……

Although Ye Hongchang was at home, he still paid attention to the outside world.The scene that happened when the old father and his son went to the teahouse in the morning, he soon listened to the report.

So worried for a day at home.

Ye Chongming took his time, drank tea with those old friends in the teahouse, and because the old friends wanted to comfort him and invited him to dinner, he took his grandson to Taibailou for a sumptuous lunch at noon, until soon At dinner time, he came back with his grandson.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Ye family will celebrate the festival together in the hall of the main courtyard.

Therefore, as soon as Ye Hongchang heard that his father had returned, he had someone carry him to the main courtyard, and asked about the situation outside.

Speaking of this, Ye Chongming smiled wryly.

He shook his head and said: "Everything was fine before. But now our family is a little bit unsatisfactory, and these people immediately alienated, as if I wanted to borrow money from them."

He sighed: "Sure enough, adversity sees people's hearts."

He shook his head, as if he didn't want to mention those who looked on coldly or asked questions, or fell into trouble, and only mentioned the good side: "Of course, there are a few that are really good. Some people even offered to lend me money, the problem Usually, this person’s friendship with me is not too deep, but once he encountered difficulties, I helped him.”

As the head of the tea business, he usually handles disputes between tea merchants.Coupled with being kind, if you see someone has difficulties, within the scope of your ability, and the other party is worth helping, then help.

He has done a lot of these things over the years.

But when he encountered difficulties, there were not many people who could reach out to help him.And the most rare thing is that one or two people he helped before would take the initiative to come to him and want to lend him money.

It is true that a friend in need is a friend.

He also understands why Ye Yaming said that he wanted to let the rumors spread for a while, so that he can screen out the people he acquainted with.

He really had been at ease for so long that he couldn't see people's hearts clearly.

"It's not a bad thing to take this opportunity to see clearly who is a human and who is a ghost." Ye Hongchang comforted.

Ye Chongming nodded.

"Are the farmers on the mountain safe?" Ye Yaming asked.

Speaking of this, Ye Chongming laughed and said with relief: "Most farmers still know how to be grateful. Our family has treated them well these years, and they are not willing to see our family have an accident and then change the business, so they all expressed their willingness. Help us get through this."

Ye Jiaxing nodded vigorously.

……

Mid-Autumn Festival night is a day for family reunion. During dinner, Ye Yaming met her third aunt, Cai, who she hadn't seen since she crossed over, and her third uncle's posthumous daughter, 12-year-old cousin Ye Yayu.

Mrs. Cai was wearing a moon-white dress, covered with a light blue beige, with only a hosta hairpin on her head, and no other ornaments.

She is not beautiful in appearance, but she has a weak and bookish air, her manner is quiet and elegant, and she has an excellent temperament.And her complexion is also very good, her face is very calm, and there is no look of distress.

This appearance is completely different from the third wife Ye Yaming imagined.

In her mind, Cai lost her husband when she was pregnant, and has been a widow for twelve years. She lives in seclusion and does not socialize with others. She should be silent and indifferent.

Not that widows have to be like this.Many women who have lost their husbands but are unwilling to remarry can still live their wonderful lives, no different from others.

The reason why Ye Yaming had such a conjecture was that Mrs. Cai had closed herself too much.Usually not only do not go out, do not ask about world affairs, and do not even communicate with other people in the house.Except for major festivals, people in the mansion would not see her at all.

Not only her, but her daughter basically did not move around in the mansion, and rarely interacted with her cousins.Ye Yaming couldn't help thinking about it.

At this moment, I saw Cai's complexion was rosy, and her manner was elegant. Although she was taciturn and had no expression on her face, her brows and eyes were lively, and she didn't look like a self-enclosed person at all.

And her daughter Ye Yayu, probably because she seldom socializes with others, looks timid. She follows her mother closely, lowers her head, and is afraid of socializing with others, which fits the image of a girl who lives too much.

Ye Yaming couldn't help frowning.

After Cai lost her husband, she wanted to live a closed life. This was her freedom, and Ye Yaming would not judge whether her approach was good or not.

But as a mother, it is not right to keep her daughter from interacting with relatives in the house, so that she has developed an autistic character.
