There was a carriage parked in front of the Yan Mansion.
Song Jixiang and the other two entered the mansion under the guidance of a servant.
Yan Hui could no longer wait and asked his servants to push him to the second gate.
"My benefactor, you are here."
The word "benefactor" gave Song Jixiang goosebumps all over his body. It was too corny.
You Eryong and He Dazhuang were also shuddering. They didn't expect that the young master of the Yan family would be so... flattering. It completely overturned all their views on the high and mighty Yan family.
You have to know that the Yan family is a powerful force in Yongning County. The Yan family's business is spread all over the country. If they get a little bit of money from the family, it will be enough for them to live for several lifetimes! To say that he is the richest man in Yongning County may be just a humble statement.
Now, he is so enthusiastic towards Song Jiajixiang!
The two of them looked at Song Jixiang with increasingly different eyes. This girl is not simple!
Yan Hui ignored what they were thinking, with a sincere smile on his face. He hurriedly invited Song Jixiang in, and immediately turned serious to You Eryong and the other man. He ordered the servants to take them to the side hall for tea.
Well, the change of face was too fast. Well, the Yan family is still the Yan family, the Yan family that is out of their reach!
The girl from the Song family is a special case!
The two nodded and followed the servant to the side hall.
When Song Jixiang followed Yan Hui into the house, he saw Yan's father and Yan Hui's uncle, Chang Yu.
The former magistrate of Yongning County still had a blank expression on his face. When he saw them come in, he just nodded slightly. There was no trace of the depression and resentment after being deposed on his face.
Song Jixiang wanted to step forward to pay his respects, but he stopped him and smiled calmly, "I am now free from official duties, so please don't be so polite, Song family girl."
Song Jixiang pretended to be surprised, but Yan Hui, who was standing by, had already explained, "A useless prince came to the capital and dismissed my uncle from his post. How despicable! If you ask me, it's better not to be an official. I can't make much money and I'll be hated. Why bother?"
After saying this, he touched his smooth chin, looking very old-fashioned.
"You evil son, stop talking nonsense. How can you interfere in the government's affairs?" Old Man Yan scolded him harshly. This kid was too bold. He just talked about the royal family's affairs. It was also his father's fault. He spoiled him so much that he didn't know his place. He thought he could fight against the higher-ups just because he had some money. He was so naive!
puff-
Chang Yu, who was originally drinking tea calmly, spit out all the tea he had just drunk, and kept coughing. Pointing at Yan Hui, "You, you kid, cough cough... Trouble comes from the mouth, trouble comes from the mouth, do you want to put the entire Yan family into it? You... Fortunately, Jixiang is not an outsider, otherwise..."
Song Jixiang raised his eyebrows. Otherwise, what else should he do? He also wanted to kill her to silence her? Sure enough, he was someone who had been in the officialdom for many years! There were many meanings in what he said, and it was very similar to the old lady in his backyard...
Chang Yu glanced at the little girl and saw that she looked unmoved, so he looked at her with even higher regard.
Song Jixiang rolled his eyes in his heart. If they wanted to silence them, he would have to see if they had the ability to do so.
Since everyone in this room was his own, Chang Yu no longer hid anything and said to Yan Hui earnestly, "Once you leave this door, you'd better forget everything you just said. Do you know who the nobleman from the county is?"
Yan Hui stiffened his neck, his face full of dissatisfaction, and replied: "Who could it be? It's just a prince. Don't we have enough princes in the Dayu Dynasty?"
"Hmph, control your temper. This prince is no ordinary prince. He is the royal concubine's biological son. He is the prince most likely to sit in that position. How can a young master like you from a rich family compare with others?" When Chang Yu said this, his expression became more serious.
"Then what right did he have to strip you of your official position?" Yan Hui's tone softened a little, and he also realized the seriousness of the matter.
Chang Yu sighed, feeling helpless. What he couldn't say was that in order to combat dissidents, the Third Prince had replaced all the prefectures and counties he passed through with the Third Prince's party. What could he do? Although the Chang family was also a century-old family in Shangjing, they couldn't go against the imperial power.
Let me tell you another story. Not long ago, the Queen was deposed and exiled to the northwest, which is our area. Our Chang family has always been on good terms with the Queen's family. You should think about this carefully. "
Song Jixiang was surprised. It turned out to be like this. He didn’t expect there were so many twists and turns!
Father Yan was also hearing this for the first time, and he exclaimed, "The Queen was deposed and exiled to the northwest? How could such a thing happen?"
Chang Yu sighed deeply, a worried look on his face. "I don't know the specific situation, but I learned that the queen was framed, saying that she had colluded with people outside the palace and intended to rebel. The emperor was furious and deposed her and exiled her to the northwest."
Chang Yu had not intended to tell this matter, but now seeing his nephew's appearance, he was afraid that he would not know the seriousness of the matter and act recklessly, which would then implicate the Yan family and the Chang family, and that would be a disaster for the entire family.
He looked at Song Jixiang deeply again. As for why he said all this in front of this girl, it was not without consideration. Ever since this girl treated Yan Hui's leg, they were tied together and had become fellow travelers on the same boat.
"This matter involves the imperial court. Our Chang family has always been on good terms with the Queen's family. Now that the Queen has been deposed, our Chang family will inevitably be implicated. Therefore, you must be careful and cautious, and don't let anyone catch you."
Old Man Yan couldn't help but frown.
Song Jixiang told Yan Hui about the village's grain levy again. She came to Yan's house today not only to give Yan Hui acupuncture for the second time, but also to inquire about the matter.
She knew that she wouldn't be able to get any information even if she went to the county government office. The reason why the village chief asked You Eryong and the other man to come was probably because he was afraid that she would encounter some danger.
After hearing this, Chang Yu said seriously, "This new county magistrate is ruthless. If you go there, you will never come back! You should go back and persuade the villagers to get through this even if you have to sell everything you have. After all, as long as you are alive, you can plan for the future."
Song Jixiang had already guessed it and nodded to thank him for the suggestion.
Then after washing hands, he gave Yan Hui acupuncture.
Amid the profuse thanks from the ladies in the Yan mansion, she and Chang Yu walked out of the mansion together.
At this time, a rather luxurious carriage stopped at the gate of Yan's house. A man and a woman got out of it. The man was extraordinary and the woman was beautiful. Their every move exuded the superiority of a superior.
Song Jixiang looked up and found that it was an acquaintance he had met once before.
