marquis of jingan

Chapter 701
On November [-]th of the tenth year of Hongde, Jiang Sheng got up early in the morning before dawn, packing up all kinds of things.

Because today is the day when Master Shen is scheduled to return to Jiankang.

Jiang Sheng had been busy all morning, loaded Shen Yi's luggage into a carriage, and prepared to take it back to Jiankang.

Among Shen Yi's luggage, apart from a small amount of clothes, most of the rest were books and documents, which filled more than half of the carriage.

These documents were accumulated by Shen Yi in the southeast for almost two and a half years. Basically, all the things that Shen Yi had dealt with were recorded in these documents.

After Jiang Sheng got up, he worked hard for about an hour, and then with the help of several subordinates, he packed up all the things. After packing up, he came to the door of Shen Yi's room, coughed, and said: "My lord, Everything is packed."

In the room, there was no movement for a long time.

After a while, Master Shen's lazy voice came from inside.

"Today I suddenly remembered that there are some things to do, let's leave tomorrow."

Jiang Sheng stood at the door, after a moment of surprise, he lowered his head: "Yes."

After bowing his head slightly, he went down to arrange the people in Xingyuan.

At this time, under the quilt of Master Shen's bedroom, a woman with skin as white as snow was lying on the master's body. She looked up at Shen Yi, her eyes were a little greasy.

Shen Yi stretched, glanced at Ye Chan in his arms, and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask me to go to your house?"

Ye Chan put her arms around Shen Yi, a little aggrieved: "This concubine is yours now, shouldn't you go to my concubine's house to have a look?"

"It's okay to go."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid it will embarrass you."

For a woman who has not been out of the court in this era, being someone else's concubine is a huge embarrassment, much more embarrassing than being a concubine.

The relationship between Shen Yi and Ye Chan is known to everyone in secret, and it's fine, but if Shen Yi visits the Ye family in person, then the Ye family will lose all face.

Ye Chan glanced at Shen Yi cautiously, and said in a low voice, "My lord, change into some inconspicuous clothes, and I will take you in through the back door."

"I didn't need to bother you, sir."

Ye Chan lowered her head and said, "It's my father, he insisted on seeing the young master, saying he wanted to see what kind of person the young master is..."

Shen Yi sat up from the bed, pulled a piece of clothes over his body, yawned and said, "I'll see you later, anyway, I'll leave tomorrow, and I can go to the governor's office to talk to Cheng Futai in the afternoon..."

Seeing Shen Yi get up, Ye Chan quickly got up from the bed and helped Shen Yi get dressed. She rummaged through the closet for a while, and said softly, "Jiang Sheng and the others put away all the clothes."

She took out a black dress and gesticulated on Shen Yi's body.

"Young master wears this?"

Shen Yi nodded, and stood where Ye Chan waited for him to get dressed and combed his hair. At about Si time, the two quietly left the apricot garden and came to the vicinity of the Ye family's mansion.

Master Shen waited for a while at the back door of the Ye family's mansion, and Ye Chan led him into the back yard of Ye's house through the back door, and then the young lady Ye led the way in front, and finally brought Shen Yi to an independent Small upstairs.

Obviously, Ye Chan had already screened off the servants. At this time, there was no one in the small building. After she led Shen Yi up to the second floor, she pushed open the door, turned to Shen Yi and said, "Young master, my father is inside... "

Shen Yi nodded and walked in.

This small building is not big, there are only two rooms on the second floor. After Shen Yi entered the back room, he saw a middle-aged man lying on the bed.

Mouth and eyes are a little crooked.

It was widely rumored in the outside world that Master Ye of the Ye family had a stroke and almost died. In fact, the doctor came to diagnose him later, and Master Ye had a stroke.

Crooked mouth and slanted eyes are sequelae of stroke.

And now he can't walk easily.

Therefore, he entrusted all the family affairs to his eldest daughter.

Although the old master Ye in front of him has a crooked mouth and eyes, his clothes are still very decent, his hair and beard have been taken care of, there should be servants here to serve him.

After Shen Yi sized up the Ye family master, he slightly cupped his hands and said, "Master Ye."

The middle-aged man's surname was Ye Zongping, and he was also looking at Shen Yi at this moment. After looking hard at Shen Yi for a while, Master Ye wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and stared at Shen Yi for a long time.

He tried to speak.

"Shen... Shen..."

Shen Yi said helplessly: "Master Ye just call me Shen Yi."

Although Shen Yi and Ye Chan have no status yet, but at this moment, Master Shen's posture is also slightly lowered.

After all, after sleeping with someone else's daughter, it's not easy to put on airs.

Master Ye nodded slowly, he looked at Shen Yi again, and tried his best to speak.

But now he is slurred, and he speaks Fuzhou local dialect, which Shen Yi basically can't understand.

The word "Chan'er" can be vaguely heard.

Master Ye had already stood up at this moment. As he spoke, he bent down to salute Shen Yi again and again, becoming more and more agitated.

Shen Yi didn't understand why, so he just turned sideways to avoid etiquette, while Ye Chan's eyes were red when she heard that, she stepped forward and pulled her father's sleeve, and said with tears: "Father, my daughter is fine..."

Master Ye looked at Shen Yi, then at his woman, finally couldn't hold back his emotions, wiped his tears with his sleeve, sat on the bed and began to cry.

Ye Chan couldn't help crying too.

Faced with this kind of scene, Shen Yi chose Hu Hai wisely. He shook his head slightly, turned around and left the small building, and waited quietly downstairs.

After about a stick of incense, Ye Chan came down from the stairs. At this time, her eyes were already red, she bowed her head to Shen Yi and said, "Young master laughed."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and asked, "Ye... What did Uncle Ye just say to me?"

"I really can't understand."

Ye Chan was silent for a while, her eyes were a little red: "Father please son, treat my concubine better in the future..."

Although Ye Chan used the word "please" for the sake of his father's face, Shen Yi was there just now, and the appearance of Master Ye just now clearly has nothing to do with "please", but "begging" Shen Yi.

Almost a humble plea.

Because Master Ye knew in his heart that his daughter would be in the hands of this young man for the rest of her life, even in the young man's thought.

Shen Yi was silent for a while, looked at Ye Chan, and sighed: "Just now you were crying, because Uncle Ye felt sorry for you."

Although the Ye family is in business, it is also a noble family.

Ye Chan's younger brother is still studying. Among the Ye family's clan, there is also the current magistrate. Although he is only a top three Jinshi, it is enough for the Ye family to rank among the nobles.

In terms of family background alone, if Shen Yi didn't get a Jinshi, the Ye family's family background would be better than the Shen family's.

After all, the only official in the Shen family back then, uncle Shen Hui, was the county magistrate who entered the official position as a juror.

But now, Ye Chan, the prostitute of the Ye family, has been reduced to being Shen Yi's concubine.

All of this was largely due to Ye Zongping.

It's not because of apoplexy or not, but because of the matter of the Ye family's knowledge of the Japanese a few years ago, which was done under Ye Zongping's behest. It can be said that Shen Yi was able to hold the handle of the Ye family, basically all because of this old master Ye .

Master Ye almost single-handedly pushed his daughter into such a situation, the guilt in his heart can be imagined.

Reminiscent of Master Ye's heart-piercing cry just now, Shen Yi also felt a little emotional.

Ye Chan wiped away her tears, and still choked up: "My father..."

"My father has been suffering in his heart for the past few years."

Shen Yi nodded silently, but did not answer.

In his opinion, leaving aside Ye Chan, Ye Zongping's current situation can be regarded as self-inflicted, after all, he was indeed a master of Japanese back then.

Living in remorse for the rest of his life may not be a punishment for him.

After the two had a conversation in the backyard of Ye's house, Ye Chan sent Shen Yi to leave through the back door of Ye's house. When Master Shen stepped out of the back door of Ye's house, Ye Chan behind him stopped him.

Miss Ye gave Shen Yi a deep blessing, and said in a low tone, "My lord, I am waiting for you in Fuzhou..."

Shen Yi nodded silently, subconsciously waved at Ye Ming, and strode away with his hands behind his back.

At noon, he went to the Governor's Yamen to have a meal, and in the afternoon he talked with Cheng Futai in the Governor's Yamen for almost a whole afternoon.

In the evening, Shen Yi had another drink with Li Mu.

One day passed like this.

Early the next morning, Master Shen's motorcade gathered at the gate of Xingyuan. After Shen Yi boarded the carriage, the horse team slowly left Xingyuan.

It is worth mentioning that Li Mu, the eldest son of the Jin Dynasty, will go back to Jiankang with Shen Yi this time.

One reason is that this prince is probably also homesick, and the other reason is that Li Mu needs to avoid suspicion.

Shen Yi, the actual controller of the coastal capital, left the southeast. It is not very good for him, the nominal commander of the coastal capital, to stay.

The plums in the melon field.

To some extent, he had to avoid it, and he really needed to go back to Jiankang to reunite with his family.

When Shen Yi's carriage left the city, the governor of Fujian and a group of Fujian officials, the commander of Fuzhou Wei Ling Su, and the generals of Fuzhou Wei all saw each other off all the way. Under the leadership of Cheng Tingzhi, the Fujian officials sent off four or five The generals of Fuzhou Wei escorted Shen Yi all the way for nearly twenty miles, and then reluctantly parted from Shen Yi.

The carriage ran on the official road for more than an hour. When it was noon, everyone rested on the side of the road, because they couldn't go to the village or shop, so they could only eat a little dry food to wrap their stomachs.

While eating the pastries, the son walked up to Shen Yi leisurely, and asked with a smile: "Ziheng, shall we go back to Jiankang directly, or go to Lin'an Mansion?"

Master Shen was stunned: "What are you going to do in Lin'an Mansion?"

"You do not know."

Li Mu said with a smile: "A few days ago, Brother Yu met a young lady in Lin'an Mansion, but she was very beautiful..."

"Let's forget it."

Master Shen shook his head: "It's important to hurry back to Jiankang, this trip..."

Having said that, Shen Yi didn't continue talking, he glanced at the direction of Jiankang thousands of miles away, and sighed slightly in his heart.

"It's unpredictable..."
