The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house
Chapter 206 The Old Man
"Oh, Xiaoliu's wife is right." Princess Duan was about to applaud Jiang Yan.
"Sisters, when you go to pick up your nephew and niece, remember to bring more people with you."
"no need?"
"Those two shameless old men from the Wang and Liu families, if they had such intentions, how could they easily let you take the child away?"
"If the children are really taken away, there will be no place for them."
"If you sisters find it inconvenient, I suddenly have a new idea."
"Oh, if my sister-in-law goes with me, she will definitely be successful."
"It's not a war. It's just picking up a few nephews. There's no need to make a big fuss."
"Sister-in-law, what do you want to do?"
"I want to know what those two old friends are doing now."
"Wang Jian is now the director of the Imperial College, a sixth-rank official."
"Liu Quan is just a small official in the Ministry of Works, and a sixth-rank official."
"No..." Jiang Yan wanted to ask, "Why did my sisters marry civil servants back then? And low-ranking ones at that? But these words were unpleasant to hear, so Jiang Yan shut up in time.
Princess Yong guessed what Jiang Yan was about to say and spoke to her, "Back then, our father wanted to prevent the Great Zhou Emperor from becoming suspicious of the Ye family, so he married off my two younger sisters to civil servants who brought no benefit to the family."
"It's still a minor official." Jiang Yan understood. In order to prevent the Ye family from being suspected, she had wronged her two sisters.
"Little Six's wife?"
"This is easy to handle!"
Hearing Jiang Yan say that this was easy to handle, four pairs of eyes looked at Jiang Yan in admiration, like professional fans.
Jiang Yan: "Your eyes are so passionate. I will be proud."
"Xiaoliu's wife, if you can help us get the child over, we will be more professional."
"The sisters have all learned those new words your little niece uses."
Ye Linlang and Ye Jinyu thought of their little niece who was full of clever ideas, and their eyes were filled with doting.
Jiang Yan assigned a task to Ye Zhan, who had been standing by as a background, "Husband, go and invite those two old friends for tea. We don't need to beat around the bush. Let's just tell them our idea directly and ask them to send the children over themselves."
"this is okay too?"
"For some men, a wife and children combined wouldn't make them happy as much as a promotion."
"Wife, is it that simple?"
"My husband, you can tell them subtly that if you send the children over, we can still maintain some respect for each other. For the sake of the children, we can't become enemies. After all, when they divorced their sisters, they were honest and didn't embezzle their dowries. I hope they will keep this good impression."
"Wife, I'll go now." After Ye Zhan finished speaking, he took Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Luzi out.
Sansheng and Wang Xiaolang followed with their guards.
Ye Linlang watched her younger brother's departing figure, a little bewildered. "Why? We've been arguing with those two shameless old men for days, and we still have no clue about this. But a few words from my sister-in-law solved it?"
"That's because you, the authorities, are confused. As an outsider, I see much more."
Princess Yong: They were also bystanders, but they didn’t expect it.
"All we have to do now is wait. Sisters, you can also talk about your future plans for your nephews."
When Ye Linlang heard about arranging the children's lives, the first thing she thought of was their accommodation.
"Xingze and Haoyu are married, and I want them to live in Xingyuan and Haoyuan."
"Big sister has already arranged it."
"Well, when we were cleaning up the princess's mansion, I reserved a courtyard for the children to live in." Thinking of her daughter, Ye Linlang thought of the exquisite courtyard she had prepared for her daughter. "Yu Ning, live in Yu Pavilion."
"I've also prepared something for Dongchen and Zhizhi."
Seeing that her two sisters were talking excitedly about the yard and furnishings prepared for their children, Jiang Yan sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.
In the teahouse closest to the Imperial College, Ye Zhan sat in the most elegant room, waiting for the arrival of his two former brothers-in-law.
The Imperial College where Wang Jian worked was the closest to here, but he didn't risk going in first. Instead, he waited until Liu Quan arrived. Then the two of them looked at each other, a wry smile stretched out on their lips, and then they entered the teahouse together.
Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Luzi, who were guarding the door to the wing room, saw the two minor officials approaching and knew that their master's guests had arrived. They immediately announced, "Your Majesty, Lord Wang and Lord Liu have arrived."
"Let them in."
"Here."
Xiao Fuzi received instructions from his prince, raised his hand and invited the two of them in.
This was not Wang Jian's first time in this teahouse, but it was his first time in this room.
Fortunately, he was not a short-sighted person. After entering the door, he did not even look up. He knelt down and kowtowed to greet him: "Your humble servant Wang Jian greets His Royal Highness Prince Rui."
Seeing Wang Jian kneel, Liu Quan knelt as well. "Your humble servant Liu Quan pays respects to His Royal Highness Prince Rui."
Liu Quan was timid and not as courageous as his former brother-in-law. When the Ye family was in trouble, he immediately divorced Ye Jinyu. The only thing he did right was not embezzling Ye Jinyu's dowry.
Otherwise, he would have returned home in disgrace long ago.
"No need to bow, just stand up." Ye Zhan has now adapted to this new identity. Except for his parents, he doesn't need to kneel to anyone else.
However, he still felt uncomfortable with others kneeling before him. But that was the way it was in this era, and he couldn't stand out from the crowd.
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie Rui."
"sit down!"
Wang Jian was quite free and easy. When His Royal Highness Prince Rui asked him to sit, he chose a seat at the bottom without any hesitation.
Seeing him sit down, Liu Quan also sat down next to Wang Jian, but he only sat in a corner.
Wang Jian looked at His Royal Highness Prince Rui, who was wearing a golden crown and jade belt and had a handsome demeanor, and felt very sad.
When the Ye family got into trouble, it was Ye Linlang who took the initiative to propose a divorce, with the aim of preventing the three children from being implicated.
For the sake of his children, his own future and his family, he decisively agreed.
Things change over time. He never dreamed that the Ye family would make a comeback in this way.
He also created the Great Qian Empire.
When asked whether he regretted what he had done, he seemed to have no reason to regret.
Ye Zhan was also looking at the thin and somewhat frail middle-aged man in front of him. There was no need to reminisce about the past, as they had never met before.
"Both of my sisters have already established their own residences. They are quite large, and are the former residence of Duke Cheng'en."
Initially, the Emperor and Empress wanted to give the mansion to their youngest son. After seeing it, Ye Zhan and Jiang Yan shook their heads, saying it was too large and luxurious beyond their imagination, so they refused.
When the Emperor and Empress saw that their youngest son and his wife did not want the mansion, they divided it into two parts and gave them to their two daughters so that they could live close together and have company.
