Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

Boss Murong looked at the silk handed over by Yu Niang, and then looked through the gap in the screen at Huamei who was standing at the door eager to try.

He felt somewhat disapproving.

"Hua Mei may have never seen the world. She gets overjoyed when she comes across a piece of calligraphy that's even slightly better, thinking she's encountered some talented scholar. Little does she know that the story of a talented scholar and a beautiful woman is just a play."

Boss Murong shook his head, took the silk with disapproval, and glanced at it casually.

What an ugly handwriting!

Boss Murong looked at it speechlessly for a few more times, and then suddenly froze.

When Boss Murong picked up the silk and looked at it carefully, his hands holding the silk were trembling slightly.

"Old, boss."

Yu Niang noticed that something was wrong with Boss Murong, and Xiumei asked with a slight frown.

"Yu Niang, go ask the person who wrote this calligraphy where he is?"

Boss Murong said in a very uneasy tone.

After hearing what Boss Murong said, Yu Niang realized that something was wrong and quickly walked out of the secret room.

"Huamei, where did you get this calligraphy?"

Yu Niang asked curiously.

"It was written by a gentleman in the reception room."

This time, the one who answered Yu Niang was the maid standing next to Huamei.

"That young man also stated that he was a friend of Miss Qin from the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion and that he wanted to see Boss Murong."

The maid said respectfully.

After hearing what the maid said, Yu Niang was quite surprised. Hua Mei said hurriedly, "Sister Yu Niang, please tell the boss to arrange for me to meet this young master. I will definitely serve him well."

Huamei's pretty face was flushed red, making her look shy and charming.

After all, she was a prostitute, and although she was embarrassed to say the words "serving people", she still said it.

After being stunned, Yu Niang seemed to have thought of something and quickly retreated back to the secret room.

"Boss, I suspect the person who left this calligraphy is Mr. Ye."

Yu Niang lowered her voice.

"Ah."

A strange light flashed in Boss Murong's eyes.

"Yu Niang, arrange for this person to come see me. Also, have Hua Mei wait on the side."

Boss Murong thought for a moment and finally said.

He took out a small box, folded the silk in his hand, and placed it carefully inside.

"Yes!"

Yu Niang retreated immediately.

And at this moment, in the reception room of the pleasure boat.

Many people who left their calligraphy works have been waiting for a long time, and many of them have become impatient.

"Why hasn't Miss Thrush chosen yet?"

"Humph, it's just selecting people, does it take so long?"

"It's almost noon now. If you don't come out now, we're leaving!"

"Really? How could Lan Meifang be so negligent in such an elegant event?"

Many clients stretched their necks, their eyes red, and looked quite impatient.

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but snort coldly.

Although he is a playboy, he is definitely not a man who is impatient for beauty. He only looks at beautiful women with admiration.

What he likes more is the inner beauty of a beauty.

Shen Qiu, who was standing aside, glanced around with a cold gaze, then looked at Ye Chen with a strange look in his eyes, and was surprised.

Ye Chen's behavior at this time was like that of a gentleman.

Shen Qiu couldn't help but immediately develop some good feelings towards Ye Chen.

Some people even thought that Ye Chen was just a talkative person before, and if he really faced a beautiful woman, he might be able to remain calm.

But that's it.

"This young man looks unfamiliar. He shouldn't be from the capital, right?"

Hu Lie, who had been secretly observing Shen Qiu, suddenly said to Ye Chen.

This guy spoke in a very polite tone, and he clasped his hands together and saluted Ye Chen while speaking.

"Ok?"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and then narrowed his eyes.

"Why? You know a lot of people in the capital?"

"I have dealt with all the nobles in the capital."

Hu Lie raised his chin, his tone showing pride.

"Oh, I don't think so."

Ye Chen stared at Hu Lie meaningfully and said.

"Why? Sir, you don't believe it?"

Hu Lie raised his eyebrows.

"Do not believe."

"Hmph, sir, I'll prove to you later that even Mr. Murong from this pleasure boat has to be respectful when he sees me! Then you can ask all the shop owners in the capital, big and small, who dares to disrespect me!"

"And many of these businesses are owned by those noble people!"

Hu Lie looked at Shen Qiu who was sitting next to Ye Chen and said it with intentional show-off.

After hearing Hu Lie's words, Ye Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Why? Have all the nobles in the capital opened shops?"

"That's natural!"

"Haha, no, some nobles don't have stores in the capital."

Ye Chen shook his head.

"Who? This is impossible!"

Hu Lie was surprised and asked.

He had never seen a nobleman in the capital who didn't own a store, and he believed that such a person didn't exist.

"How is that impossible? You don't even know me, and I don't even have a store in the capital!"

Ye Chen laughed and said.

Hearing this, Hu Lie's eyes darkened slightly and he glared at Ye Chen fiercely, but he just felt that Ye Chen was playing tricks on him.

Shen Qiu on the side couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of his mouth, and his cold temperament was a little loosened, but he looked like a snow lotus about to bloom, even more elegant and refined, and breathtakingly beautiful.

Hu Lie was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red, and he looked at Ye Chen with jealousy and dissatisfaction.

But at this moment, many maids suddenly walked out from under the heavy curtains.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"~~

There were bursts of gong-like sounds.

Hu Lie's attention was immediately drawn there.

And when a maid came over.

Hu Lie turned his head to look at Yue Kuang, grinned and stood up on his own initiative.

"Master Gu, Mr. Hu, Miss Chun and Miss Die are waiting for you in the room."

A maid said to Hu Lie and Gu Tongdao.

"Haha, it's fine."

Gu Tong's face showed joy, and he immediately stood up and was about to leave.

Hu Lie was also very proud, his eyes flashed slightly but he suddenly smiled at Ye Chen and said: "Sir, Hu and you hit it off right away. Don't leave later, have a drink with Hu."

Hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes turned cold.

What does Hu Lie want to do?

He could guess it all.

He actually set his sights on the woman around him.

It was simply audacious.

Just when Ye Chen was considering whether to deal with this guy right away or wait and talk about it after meeting with Boss Murong, a maid suddenly came to Ye Chen.

"Sir, my boss wants you to come over. He has arranged for Miss Huamei to accompany you and wants to meet you alone."

After the maid finished speaking, Hu Lie, who had not yet walked far, was stunned, and his whole face immediately showed an expression of surprise and dullness.

And everyone in the reception room turned their eyes to Ye Chen.

As a result, the originally bustling reception room suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
