Mingmen Family

Chapter 89
He immediately wrote greeting cards and sent them to Lu Guanyi, Qi Ji and Master Wu. An hour later, the person who sent the greeting cards came back, and Lu Guanyi and the three of them really agreed to come to the banquet.

As for the time of the banquet, it is naturally dinner time.

Ye Chong was in the teahouse all day long, and he didn't go home until dinner time; at that time Song Yifeng also came back from the government school.Song Yifeng should have come directly to Ye's house at that time to mention the divorce to Ye Chongming.

After receiving the reply, Mrs. Ye quickly drew up the menu for tomorrow's banquet, asked her servants to go out to order and buy ingredients, and went to the restaurant to ask the cook to cook.

Because the divorce matter has not been completed yet, Zhou Xiang still asks people to keep a close eye on Song Yifeng.Song Yifeng had been doing activities as usual all day, but Wang Wenzhi called him over again and questioned him.

Knowing that the old man was concerned, Zhou Xiang immediately spread the news to the teahouse.

When Ye Chongming heard this, he immediately felt relieved: "It's done."

With Wang Wenzhi's urging, Song Yifeng will come to Ye Zhai tonight to propose divorce.If Yin De'an was involved in this matter, there would be many side issues. Song Yifeng would never tell him, nor would he seek a matchmaker first.He should come to Ye Zhai alone to withdraw the engagement.

Everything went according to their plan.

Ye Chongming patiently counted the hourglass to see that it was almost time, and hurried home in the carriage.

"Have all the dishes for the dinner party been prepared?" He asked Mrs. Ye.

"Don't worry, everything is ready." Mrs. Ye said.

"father."

"grandfather."

Ye Hongchang, Ye Jiaxing and his son walked in one after another.

Ye Chongming took a look at the two of them.

Ye Hongchang was only slightly injured before, but he is basically fine now.Today, a distinguished guest came to the door, and he cleaned it up specially, but he was quite energetic.Not to mention Ye Jiaxing.

"Jiaxing, meet the guests at the gate." Ye Chongming ordered, "Hongchang, follow me to the outer courtyard and wait."

Ye Jiaxing agreed, and then asked, "Do you want to send someone to call Third Sister over?"

Today's banquet is for male guests, so the place to eat is naturally in the side hall of the outer courtyard.

But it is a matter of Ye Yaming's life, she had better be present; besides, when Lu Guanyi and the others came to discuss cooperation, Ye Yaming had to participate.But eating at one table is definitely not enough.So how to arrange this banquet needs to be considered.

Ye Chongming had already thought of this, and said: "When I invited Master Wu, I invited his wife together. After a while, your grandmother and Ming'er will go to the outer courtyard to help entertain Mrs. Wu."

Ye Jiaxing praised: "High." Then he said, "Then I'll be fine."

With that said, he walked out the door in a swift motion and headed for the gate.

Ye Yaming also came over at this time, and Ye Chongming took everyone to prepare to go to the outer courtyard.

Before going out, Ye Yaming reminded: "Grandfather, you'd better send someone to explain to Fourth Uncle. In case you entertain distinguished guests at home, Fourth Uncle will not be very happy if you don't inform Fourth Uncle."

Ye Chongming and Ye Hongchang reacted immediately.

Yes, there is a troublemaker in the family.I hit the board a few days ago, and now I can almost go to the ground.

It stands to reason that Ye Hongrong, as the fourth master of the Ye family, had to inform him when a male guest came to his house. This was a respect for his status; he was at home when the guest came to visit, and according to the rules of etiquette, he should also come out to entertain the guest.

If he hadn't been treated as someone like him at this moment, and he hadn't been notified when he was entertaining guests at home, when that beast got angry, he might really ask someone to help him to the front yard to disrupt the situation.

Ye Chongming said to Li Fu: "You go to Sifang and say that because of his mistakes, our family owes Mr. Wu a big favor. Today I invite Mr. Wu and his wife to come over for dinner, and thank him for taking this matter into consideration. Press down."

"If he asks carefully, you can say that someone arranged tea guests to make trouble before, and the trouble went to the government. It was Mr. Wu who suppressed this matter. Song Yifeng heard the wind and wanted to use this to withdraw the marriage. I He intends to use Master Wu's identity to suppress Song Yifeng, so he held a banquet for Master Wu and his wife. It's not convenient for him to participate in this banquet today, so it's better to recover from his injuries in the courtyard."

As he said that, he warned again: "You call a few nursing homes to guard the gate of the four-bedroom courtyard, and don't allow the people in the fourth bedroom to move around at will. You should personally send someone to watch over this matter, and there is no room for mistakes."

"Yes."

Mrs. Ye originally went to the kitchen to arrange the dishes in person.Hearing that the old man sent someone to the four-bedroom courtyard, he also thought of Ye Hongrong who was not worrying, so he quickly sent a few women to guard it.

The whole family took Ye Hongrong as an enemy to guard against.

Everyone went to the hall of the outer courtyard to stay for a while, and Ye Jiaxing welcomed Lu Guanyi, Qi Ji, and Master Wu together.

Master Wu is in his fifties, and his wife, Mrs. Yue, has also met Mrs. Ye.The restrictions on women in this era are not too strict. Mrs. Ye and Ye Yaming did not welcome Mrs. Wu to the inner courtyard, but sat with the male guests in the main hall of the outer courtyard.

We exchanged a few pleasantries.

Mrs. Wu praised Ye Yaming as soon as they met.

The prefect of Qi is her husband's employer, and Ye Yaming has contributed so much to the business between Lu Guanyi and Qi Ji. Now that the Ye family has a cooperative relationship with Lu Guanyi and Qi Ji, she naturally wants to flatter Ye Yaming. .

Ye Yaming looked embarrassed and humbled.

Mrs. Ye hurriedly said: "Don't praise her quickly, children don't like to praise, and they tend to be proud when they praise."

Seeing this, Ye Chongming was really emotional.

The social status of businessmen is low, they have money but no power, and they are easy to be targeted by others, so everyone tries their best to deal with the government, build bridges and pave roads every year, and distribute exorbitant taxes. Donate money and materials, and flatter Master Wu who deals with them on behalf of the prefect of Qi.

It is said that he has friendship with Master Wu, it is all paved with money.If he didn't rank first in donations, was the leader of the tea shop, and came to the door with generous gifts every year, would Master Wu know who he was?
But now, because of Ye Yaming's demonstrated ability, they have formed a cooperative relationship with Lu Guanyi and Qi Ji, and Master Wu's attitude has also taken a 180-degree turn.He didn't want to change his attitude obviously, so he made his wife act like a flatterer.

Sure enough, I still listen to Ye Yaming's words, finding one or two high-status and reliable people to cooperate with is the correct path for the Ye family to take.

Here Mrs. Wu praised Ye Yaming, while Qi Ji and Master Wu also exchanged greetings with Ye Chongming.

After everyone's pleasantries came to an end, Lu Guanyi said to Ye Yaming: "Miss Ye, this is a tea set that I asked the porcelain maker in Xinping Town to make. Check to see if there is anything wrong."

Hearing this, the young servant standing behind him took a rattan box in his hand, Bai Rui stepped forward quickly, took the rattan box, opened it, took out the tea sets inside, and put them one by one Put it on the table next to Ye Yaming.
