Medical Brocade

Chapter 7

Qu Fengquan motioned slightly to Liu Heshan, and Liu Heshan walked to the door and let the boy in.

The servant got the order, and immediately trotted to Qu Fengquan, and reported: "Go back to Master, Master Ye, Mrs. Ye, and Young Master Ye are here."

The Ye family, a tea merchant, is also one of the five great imperial merchants, and its strength is comparable to that of the Qu family. As long as the heads of the two families move their fingers, they can cause quite a storm in the capital.

Today is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, and Ye Yaode came to visit early in the morning with his wife and eldest son, which made Qu Fengquan a little puzzled, but if he didn't understand, he couldn't make people wait, so he said, "He Shan, Go and greet them, and take these two out first."

"Yes, master." Liu Heshan followed the boy to pick up the man, and asked the boy waiting at the door to carry Luo An and Bao Fu out.

"Abi, did anything else happen during the two days I was away?" Qu Fengquan immediately thought of something else.

"Master, Mrs. Ye brought Mo Yan to visit yesterday morning. She mentioned to me about Mo Yan's marriage with Ruo Wen. I can see that the Ye family wants to break up the engagement. You just aren't here. I couldn't make up my mind, so I told her that you would come back later, I didn't expect that even the master of the Ye family would come today." After hearing the servant's message, Hu Bi felt a little better, and had the leisure time to watch the excitement .

"Retire?" Qu Fengquan reluctantly cast his eyes on Qu Ruowen, only seeing Qu Ruowen's eyes like a frightened bird, and his rustic clothes, "When will you decide?" engagement?"

"Master, this happened seven or eight years ago, no wonder you have forgotten that at that time Linglong was able to please the master, and if you asked about her beautiful appearance, Mrs. Ye's wife made this marriage for Mo Yan. "Speaking of other people's pain points, Hu Bi has always been more kind, and not so aggressive and bullying.What she said was not painful, but the person who was said was full of sadness.

Qu Ruowen could tell that Lan Linglong was not feeling well after being exposed in public. There was nothing written on her face, but her eyes were full of grievance and forbearance.

Speaking of Lan Linglong and the time they spent together in the past, Qu Fengquan suddenly remembered that there was another person with a docile personality, unlike Hu Bi and Qin Xiangyue who were arguing endlessly every day.

"Brother Qu, it's really not easy to meet you." At the entrance of the main hall, a man in his 40s began to exchange pleasantries. Tea lovers know how to take care of themselves a little bit, and when they wear clothes, it's rare that they don't show their stomachs.However, this man looked older than Qu Fengquan, with obvious forehead lines on his forehead.Along with him is a woman around 36 years old. The woman is full of jewels and is relatively rich. The string of pearl necklaces hanging around her neck alone, the pearls are round and smooth, dazzling people's eyes.

"Where, no matter how busy you are, you can't be as busy as Brother Ye!" Qu Fengquan stood up to greet him, and Hu Bi naturally followed Qu Fengquan, and they said a few more polite words.

"Yan'er, hurry up and meet your uncle." Ye Yaode put away his greetings and put on the airs of an elder.

Behind Ye Yaode, a man about 17 years old walked out. The man was dressed in plain long clothes and a white sable fur coat, holding a folding fan in his hand, with a polite smile on his face, and his gestures He didn't have the courage of a businessman, but he had a strong scholarly atmosphere. He walked up to Qu Fengquan and Hu Bi, and clasped his hands together: "I have met Uncle Shi, Aunt Shi."

"My nephew is indeed a good-looking talent!" Qu Fengquan knew that Ye Moyan was a handsome man with a good character. He had also read a lot of books, and it was not a problem to recite poems and paint pictures. Many people rushed to collect his calligraphy and paintings. It can be said that He is the number one talented person in the capital, and there are too many people who come to ask for marriage.If he was really asked to marry Qu Ruowen, it would be a real wrong for him.But even if you want to divorce, you can't be so casual.

Qu Fengquan turned his head to look at Qu Ruowen, he should have asked her to salute Ye Yaode and the others, but Qu Ruowen's body was rustic, tea had splashed on his clothes just now, and he fainted, it was still not dry, and no makeup was applied on his face , her eyes were a little red and swollen, her face was haggard, timid, she didn't look like a lady, even if she was more docile like Lan Linglong, she was too docile.

There is such a daughter who really can't be on the stage. Compared with Ye Moyan, there is a gap between heaven and earth. Qu Fengquan doesn't want her to come out to meet people.

But not seeing each other, and losing courtesy, she was already ugly, and she couldn't be crowned with a hat of disrespect, so Qu Fengquan could only let her out.

The tea merchant Ye family is also one of the five imperial merchants. Once, Yan Weijue wanted to win over the Ye family, so he used her to attack Ye Moyan. Fortunately, I got to know Ye Moyan, but it was a pity that the two met once at Fulin Temple, and before we got to know each other further, Yan Weijue asked her to murder his younger brother Yan Weiqing.

As far as she knew, Ye Moyan had no other viciousness other than the aloof personality of a literati.

Qu Ruowen let go of Lan Linglong's arm, and walked up to Ye Yaode and his wife and Ye Moyan to salute: "I've met Uncle Shi, Aunt Shi, and Brother Shi."

Seeing Qu Ruowen, the expressions of the three members of the Ye family couldn't be concealed no matter how hard they tried. Although they had met before, they never thought that they would become like this in a few years, which further strengthened the Ye family's plan to divorce.

"Master Ye, Mrs. Ye, don't stand up and talk, it will be seen by outsiders, and you still treat the Qu family poorly." Qin Xiangyue's eyes were very sharp, and she could see Qu Fengquan's embarrassment. Get out.

"Yeah, what's the matter, let's sit down and talk, Qiu Shui, hurry up and make tea." Hu Bi took a slow shot, letting Qin Xiangyue take the lead, so she can't be behind, otherwise, I don't know who is in charge She is the mistress of the house.

The Qu family and the Ye family are also considered family friends, and they also have contacts in the business field, Qu Fengquan led Ye Yaode to sit in the seat where Hu Bi was just now, and Hu Bi accompanied Ye Yaode's wife, Wei Jinglan, to sit in the lower seat.

"Brother Qu, my younger brother just got a few taels of buds recently, and I specially brought them to share with my elder brother." Ye Yaode took a red sandalwood box from the servant brought by his own mansion. The width and height are about half a foot each.

After the red sandalwood box was opened, there was a white porcelain jar inside. Qu Fengquan opened it and saw that there were indeed about one or two buds inside.

"This season is not the time to pick buds, Brother Ye is really capable!"

"No, it's just someone to deliver it. Jiaozhou is like spring all year round. It's not difficult to get a few tender shoots this season." Ye Yaode said it was very easy, but Qu Fengquan knew that banana This place in the southwestern part of the state is far away from the capital. Moreover, the tender shoots, as the name suggests, are the tenderest sprouts. How many tender shoots must be taken to process them into pieces that look like freshly picked shoots? It can be seen from this, and it can also be seen that the Ye family's determination to withdraw the marriage.

Qu Fengquan put the white porcelain jar back into the red sandalwood box and closed the lid, but he didn't accept it.

"Brother Ye, Mo Yan is indeed outstanding. Ruowen is really not good enough for him, but Ruowen is my Qu Fengquan's daughter after all. If the engagement is broken off so easily, if word spreads, the Qu family will not become a laughing stock."

Ye Yaode knew in his heart that since he opened his mouth, it would be easier to solve a lot, so he also cut to the chase: "Then how can Brother Qu agree?"
