Chapter 12

"Yes, um. It seems to be from South Vietnam. I don't know the details." Ye Ying finished what she knew.

"You won't pay more attention and check more." Ye Hong was confident that he wouldn't say anything.

"Father, I'm in business, and I don't care about political affairs. Besides, aren't you in charge of the tea business? Why don't you know that such a large amount of tea has arrived?" Ye Ying poked Ye Hongxin mercilessly scars.

Ye Hongxin glanced at Ye Ying, "Oh, I'm afraid this matter is hidden from the court, so please don't tell others about it."

"Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely keep this matter a secret for you." Ye Ying patted his heart and said.

"Well, you should have a good rest right after you come back. Remember, don't choke any more. I'm leaving." Ye Hongxin got up, and he didn't forget to give Ye Ying some instructions.

"Cough, I got it. Dad, go slowly." Ye Ying said with an embarrassed face.

In fact, Ye Ying knew that this matter was not easy when he was in Jiangnan.It stands to reason that Ye Hongxin is in charge of tea in the whole country, but Ye Hongxin doesn't know about it, so I'm afraid it's not shallow.

Ye Ying has only been in this tea business for two years, and he got the right to purchase tribute tea, one is because the tea in Ye Ying's tea garden is really good; Ye Hongxin will reveal to Ye Ying more or less every movement, so that Ye Ying can seize the opportunity.

The right to purchase was negotiated by Ye Ying to the court immediately after learning that the court was going to change the purchaser in the south of the Yangtze River.Ye Hongxin is a person who will not use power for personal gain, and Ye Ying also wants to run his own business on his own.So Ye Ying didn't have anything other than some gossip from Ye Hongxin.Besides, notices will be posted on these news in a few days, Ye Ying just knew the news earlier.

Before Ye Ying left, Ye Hongxin told him that it was business as usual, and Ye Ying had nothing to worry about, as long as he went to Jiangnan to look at the tea garden.But I didn't expect this to happen.

But Ye Hongxin said he wanted Ye Ying to leave it alone, so Ye Ying would naturally be at ease, as long as he managed his own business well, let his father take care of those political affairs.

When Ye Ying thought of his courtiers, he couldn't help but think of He Linyuan, and thinking of He Linyuan, Ye Ying felt lonely again.I was thinking that I might have to hide from He Linyuan for a while.

Time flies, and in a few days it will be the Qixi Festival.

The shops in the imperial city began to decorate their doors early, with festoons piercing the buildings and red lanterns hanging high.

There are a lot of things to do on Qixi Festival, so the imperial court has a day off so that everyone in the imperial city can celebrate the festival happily.

On this day, there are not only female relatives begging for cleverness, but also many interesting activities.Ye Ying also likes it very much, one is that it can make money, and the other is that although Qixi Festival is not a day to show your love to your sweetheart, many women in boudoir can go out to the streets.Although Ye Ying likes He Linyuan, this does not prevent Ye Ying from seeing beautiful girls.

Ye Mansion also started preparing for the Qixi Festival early.There are Ye Mu, Mo Shuyi, Ye Xi, and Mo Shuyi's two daughters, Ye Wan and Ye Ru, in the mansion. Naturally, this matter must be done well, and Ye Ying will help to prepare it when he has nothing to do.

It was Qixi Festival in a blink of an eye, and Ye Hongxin didn't go out early in the morning as usual, but stayed at home and asked Ye Ying and Ye Yi to take out the books in the study to bask in the sun.

After a busy morning, Ye Hongxin and the others arranged all the books.Because Ye Mansion asked the servants to go home on this day, and those who didn’t want to go home could get more money, so Ye Mansion only left about ten servants, and Ye Hongxin didn’t ask the servants to help, let alone the people in the study. There are some important things, what should I do if I lose them, and Ye Hongxin is even more angry when he sees Ye Ying's appearance of being tired after doing something casually.

"I just found out how many books there are in our family today." Ye Ying said with emotion.

"I haven't seen you read it either." Ye Hongxin said coldly.

"Brother, what are you waiting for?" Ye Ying quickly changed the subject.

"I'll take Shuyi home to have a look." Ye Yi knew Ye Ying's scheming, and kindly returned Ye Ying.

"Brother, go slowly." Ye's mansion is on the east side of the imperial city, and Mo Shuyi's house is on the south side of the imperial city. It only takes one hour to go back and forth.

"Well, you should help your parents more." Ye Yi instructed Ye Ying.

"Okay." Ye Ying paced to find Ye Mu after moving the books.

Mother Ye was talking to Ye Xi, and when she saw Ye Ying coming, she said to Ye Ying, "Zian, tonight, you will go out with your sister for a walk, do you understand?"

"Xiao Xi is so old, I still want to accompany her?" Ye Ying took advantage of the opportunity and sat next to Ye Mu.

"It's fine if you don't accompany me, I've made an agreement with your father, you go out tonight by yourself, and when you come back, you must bring the girl back, otherwise you don't come back." Ye Mu said slowly.

"No, it's okay for me to accompany me." Ye Ying said with a bitter face.

Ye Yi didn't come back to eat at noon because he sent Mo Shuyi home, Ye Yi also took away a pair of children, leaving only Ye Zhao and Ye Ru.

Knowing that Mo Shuyi didn't take her away, Ye Ru kept crying, and Ye's mother hurriedly coaxed Ye Ru.Ye Ying and Ye Xi took Ye Zhao to play.

"Uncle, tell me about your time in Jiangnan." Ye Zhao raised his head and looked at Ye Ying.

"You want to hear?" Ye Ying hugged Ye Zhao on her lap and sat down.

"I want to hear it too." Ye Xi interjected.Ye Ying ignored Ye Xi.

"Yeah, I saw that Jiangnan was written so beautifully in the book, and I just wanted to know if Jiangnan was the same as the book said."

"Okay, then uncle will tell you."

Ye Ying talked about some customs and customs in the south of the Yangtze River, and Ye Xi was also fascinated by it.

"Then Xiao Zhao, when you grow up, you can go to Jiangnan to see for yourself."

"Okay, I will." Ye Zhao promised.

Ye Ying hugged Ye Zhao all the time. Although Ye Zhao was only six years old, he was still very heavy. After a while, Ye Ying's legs became numb.Ye Ying put Ye Zhao down.

Ye Ying looked at Ye Zhao, and suddenly thought that if He Linyuan was really with his sweetheart, he might have a child like Ye Zhao in a few years.Ye Ying looked at Ye Zhao and was lost in thought.

Seeing that it was almost time, Ye Xi led Ye Zhao to the dining room. After walking a few steps, he found Ye Ying still sitting on the stool in a daze, so he called Ye Ying: "Second brother."

Only then did Ye Ying come to her senses, and hurriedly followed.

Ye Yi also came back during dinner, when Ye Ru saw Mo Shuyi, she threw herself on Mo Shuyi, not letting go.

"This child, you've been crying and looking for you since you left." Mother Ye looked at Ye Ru with a smile.

Ye Wan, who followed Mo Shuyi, came over to hold Ye Ru's hand, and Ye Ru shook off Ye Wan's hand.

"I don't want you to pull me." Ye Ru said angrily.

Mo Shuyi hugged Ye Ru to comfort her, and asked Ye Ru to apologize to Ye Wan.

Under Mo Shuyi's persuasion, Ye Ru finally calmed down and apologized to Ye Wan.

Ye Ying watched from the side, and said: "Ye Zhao and Ye Yao have been good since childhood, and I have never seen them quarreling, but Ye Wan and Ye Ru quarrel from time to time."

"Girl is like this, we have to fight." Mo Shuyi said with a smile.

The family can finally have a good meal.

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, brocades are used in the imperial palace to form a hall with a height of more than [-] feet, which can accommodate dozens of people. Melons, fruits and dishes are displayed on it, and seats are arranged to worship the two stars of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.The imperial palace concentrated on displaying female red crafts such as embroidery and needlework, worshiping the moon god and praying for ingenuity.Accompanied by the performance of court musicians, concubines and concubines in the harem hold nine-hole needles and thread colorful threads towards the moon.

This is not only the case in the palace, but also the people are so lively.Ye Fu did these things after eating.

Mother Ye asked Ye Ying to take Ye Xi to go out. Before leaving, Mother Ye pulled Ye Ying and whispered, "Zian, help your sister to see more. Do you understand?"

"Yeah." Ye Ying was naturally very concerned about marrying his younger sister.Nonsense, Ye Yingcai didn't blame Ye Xi.

Ye Xi went back to her room and dressed up, seeing that Ye Ying was still wearing the same daytime clothes, she urged Ye Ying to go back to her room and change.Ye Xi also personally helped Ye Ying pick out the only red-backed, gold-edged, silver-threaded dress in his closet, and picked out a white jade hair crown.

"It's beautiful, it's really beautiful." Ye Xi praised sincerely.

Ye Ying blushed a little at Ye Xi's words, "What's good or not? But you, you have to take a good look at it tonight. If you like it, tell me quickly, and I'll help you to ask."

"Understood." Ye Xi said.Ever since Ye Xi knew that He Linyuan had a sweetheart, he actually lost his heart to marry He Linyuan, and Ye Xi also had the heart to choose a lover.

Ye Ying and Ye Xi went out together, and met Mo Shuyi on the way

"Sister-in-law, why don't you go out with us?" Ye Xi said to Mo Shuyi.

"No, this is originally for you little girls, and besides, I have to take care of those little ghosts. Have fun." Mo Shuyi said to Ye Xi with a smile.

"Then let's go."

Ye Ying and Ye Ying were walking on the road, Ye Xi was also very curious to see this, and also found it amusing to see that.Ye Ying immediately became Ye Xi's money bag.As long as Ye Xi wants to buy it.Ye Ying consciously spent money to sell it to Ye Xi.

Ye Ying and Ye Xi walked to the door of Xiangju Building, and saw that there were heads inside.

Ye Ying asked Ye Xi: "Are you hungry?"

"A little bit." Ye Xi looked at his stomach.

So Ye Ying and Ye Xi walked into the Xiangju Building, and just after entering the door, they heard Li Ranhan shouting: "Wait a minute, there are no seats here! If you want to eat, you have to take it away. Can't sit down! No Don't come in if you take it away!"

Ye Xi burst out laughing, Ye Ying looked at Li Ranhan speechlessly.

Only then did Li Ranhan see that it was Ye Ying.

"Are you going to drive me out too?" Ye Ying said in a deep voice.

"No, no. What's the matter." Li Ranhan quickly apologized.

"I know, we just need half a tray of steamed dumplings and take them away. Xiao Xi, what else do you want to eat?" Ye Ying turned her head and asked Ye Xi.

"No more, just this."

"Okay, it will be fine in a while." Li Ranhan replied.

"Sister Han, she looks pretty again after not seeing her for a few months." Ye Xi said to Li Ranhan with a smile.

"Yeah, I think so too."

The two started chatting and couldn't stop, Ye Ying just stood aside expressionlessly watching the two compliment each other.

The two didn't stop until the steamed dumplings were ready, and said goodbye to each other.

After leaving the door, Ye Yingcai asked Ye Xi: "Why do I feel that you two are like a family?"

"I think so too." One sentence directly blocked Ye Ying's words.Ye Ying had no choice but to eat the dumplings.
