Chapter 3

Ye Ying looked at it for a while, and Ye Hongxin saw Ye Ying staring at He Linyuan, and said, "Master He is twenty-three this year, and he was the champion of Chunwei three years ago. What he said in front of the palace back then can be said to be eloquent. It can be seen that he is erudite and talented. The emperor admires him very much, his official career has been smooth, and he has been on the rise. This year, he became the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment." Ye Ying heard an inexplicable emotion in his heart, and there was a little envy in his jealousy .

Ye Hongxin saw Ye Ying in a daze, and continued to say, "Zian, you are about the same age, you see that he has achieved success at such a young age, and I don't expect you to be like Mr. He, but you should have something to shine at any rate."

Ye Ying continued to immerse herself in her thoughts, and asked blankly, "Who is Mrs. He's name?"

"He Linyuan..." Ye Hongxin thought that Ye Ying had awakened, so he replied with a smile on his face.

He Linyuan... He Linyuan... He Linyuan

Ye Ying silently recited He Linyuan's name three times, the more she recited, the happier she became.A smile crept onto Ye Ying's face.Ye Hongxin ignored him and took Ye Ying back to the mansion.

After returning to the mansion, Ye Hongxin saw Ye Ying still laughing and thought it was Ye Ying having a convulsion, and almost slapped him.Fortunately, Ye Ying suppressed her smile.This slap didn't go down.

But from then on, Ye Ying devoted all her attention to He Linyuan.From then on, Ye Ying paid close attention to He Linyuan all the time.The next day Ye Ying had a thorough understanding of He Linyuan's preferences, personality, whether he had a sweetheart, etc.

In fact, Ye Ying didn't know why she was interested in He Linyuan. It seemed that at that moment, in Ye Ying's eyes, only He Linyuan was shining, and the rest were gray.

Ye Ying recalled the original scene like this, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

Sure enough, a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Ye Ying took Ye Chen to eat breakfast and went out.Ye Ying and Ye Chen walked around for a long time but didn't see anything good.So before noon, I went to Xiangju Building.

"It's so early today." It was Li Ranhan, the accountant and "temporary" shopkeeper of Xiangju Building, who spoke.

Although it is said to be temporary, but the time in Xiangjulou is longer than that of Ye Ying, the official shopkeeper.The relationship between Li Ranhan and Ye Ying is like siblings.

"Yes, Sister Han, I miss you, so I came to see you earlier." Ye Ying smiled all over her face.

"Come to see me, I just hope you don't bother me anymore and I'll be thankful. I wasn't there for a while yesterday, and you asked Xiaoer to give the guest a plate of hibiscus prawns for free. How are you going to settle the bill?" Li Ran Han stared at Ye Ying.

Although the Xiangju building is owned by Ye Ying, Li Ranhan looks like the real proprietress of the Xiangju building.Anyone who has been in the Xiangju building knows that Li Ranhan is a money-conscious person. As long as you can afford it, no matter what the request is, as long as Li Ranhan can do it, the Xiangju building can do it. Will try my best to satisfy you.

"On my account, on my account." Ye Ying said hastily.Although Li Ranhan loves money very much, he is also a principled person, so Ye Ying can rest assured that Li Ranhan will take care of all the affairs in the building.

"Well, that's right. I've already credited it to your account." Li Ranhan said while flicking the beads.

"..." Ye Ying was speechless for a while.

"Today, if I don't have much appetite, I'll have squirrel mandarin fish, lotus seed soup with pearls, stir-fried three silks, crispy duck, and prawns with hibiscus." Ye Ying said.

"..." This is called loss of appetite. Although Li Ranhan slandered him, he still called Zhou Chang.

"Sister Han" Zhou Chang trotted over. "Hey, shopkeeper Ye is here too." Zhou Chang greeted Ye Ying when he saw Ye Ying was also there.

"You tell Uncle Lu to let him open a small stove for the shopkeeper to make squirrel mandarin fish, lotus seed soup with pearls, fried three silk, crispy duck, and his favorite lotus prawns." Li Ranhan told Zhou As usual.

"Okay, okay, let's go." Zhou Chang said with a smile, "Master Ye likes the hibiscus prawns made by Uncle Lu. I will ask Uncle Lu to make more. Shopkeeper Ye will ensure that you will be full." After Zhou Chang finished speaking, he went to the back kitchen and told Lu Xiang to cook a small stove for Ye Ying.

"Sister Han, you are the one who loves me the most." Ye Ying said flatteringly.

"It's good to know, then don't you want to express something, such as giving me a raise?"

"Sister Li, it hurts our relationship to talk about money, don't you think?" Ye Ying was in pain, and hurriedly curry favor with Li Ranhan.

"It's because of our relationship that we need to talk about money." Li Ranhan looked righteous, and Li Ranhan was always happy to see Ye Ying's deflated expression.

"Forget it, seeing how painful you are, I don't want it. In terms of accounting, it will be my gift money when you get married in the future." Li Ranhan said.

"..."

Ye Ying turned around and went silently to the second floor for dinner.He sighed in his heart, who asked him to find such a money fan as the accountant.

But this matter passed in a while, and Ye Ying was eating happily, when she heard the noise outside the building. "It's really uneasy to eat, Ye Chen sees what's going on outside." Ye Ying ordered with a complicated mood.

Ye Chen saw the conspicuous He Linyuan in the crowd from the window.The streets are basically full of girls surrounding He Linyuan, and the girls try to talk to him by giving him things he made himself.He Linyuan was as calm as water, with a smile on his face, he declined the girls' things and thanked them one by one.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen didn't know whether to say it or not.After talking about the second young master, he was angry again, let's not talk about it, what should we say?Ye Chen was distressed.

Ye Ying watched Ye Chen by the window for a while, but didn't speak, and walked to him curiously.Ask out loud, "What's going on?"

Ye Chen was startled by Ye Ying's voice, "It's nothing..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Ye Ying poking his head to look.

When Ye Ying saw that it was He Linyuan, she was quite happy, but when she saw the women around him, her expression sank.

"Master He!" Ye Ying stood by the window and called out loudly to He Linyuan who was surrounded by women below.

He Linyuan looked up and saw that Ye Ying was standing by the window, with an uncertain expression on his face, holding the window with his hand, looking at him with vague eyes.

"Master Ye, what a coincidence." He Linyuan replied with a smile.

"Master He, would you like to come up and have a drink with me?" Ye Ying's voice was low and cold.Ye Chen listened, secretly sweating for He Linyuan.

He Linyuan heard that Ye Ying's tone was not right, so he quickly said, "Okay."

He Linyuan politely rejected the girls' wishes and hurried upstairs.

"Master Ye." He Linyuan cupped his hands and smiled.I also secretly complained in my heart, this little fool must be jealous.This is not very coaxing.

I remember one time when I went out, it was also a woman embracing each other. He Linyuan was almost suffocated to death by the scent of gouache from the girl's door.Ye Ying saw it, and sarcastically said that He Linyuan was prosperous in peach blossoms and had three thousand weak waters.

He Linyuan felt uncomfortable all the way.In the end, He Linyuan took Ye Ying to have a good meal, and gave a lot of things to express his affection.This made Ye Ying feel at ease.well.But Ye Ying is also very coaxing sometimes.

Everyone here: ... Is it true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder?You're sure it's easy to coax, because you haven't seen how he treats us.

"Master He, I've been very busy recently, why do I have time to go around the street today?" Ye Ying said coldly.

"It's not very busy. Today the emperor announced me to enter the palace. I don't know when it will be, so I let the bearers go back first. The emperor just finished talking with me at this moment. I thought that people on the street should It's missing, I didn't expect to see it too much." He Linyuan said distressedly.

"Oh, that's it, Mr. He hasn't eaten yet. Then please take a seat, Mr. He. Ye Chen will bring a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Mr. He." Ye Ying's expression softened when he heard that, but he was also a little unhappy.leaf

Ying knew in her heart that He Linyuan had nothing to do with her, and he had no reason to be so angry, but when she saw Yingying and Yanyan beside He Linyuan, Ye Ying was very angry, very angry, so angry that she exploded.

He Linyuan took his seat, looked at the lotus prawns on the table and said, "Yesterday Mr. Ye also gave me a plate of lotus prawns. The prawns are really good."

When Ye Ying heard it, her face turned red from the visible speed, "...Well, it's nothing, as long as Mr. He thinks it's okay. No, how do you know that I gave it to you." Ye Ying finally came to his senses and asked.

"The waiter who delivered the food yesterday said that it was delivered by the shopkeeper. I knew it was you." He Linyuan was very happy to see Ye Ying's blank look.

When Ye Ying heard this, she was going to die of anger.Yesterday, I just asked Xiao Er to say that it was from the restaurant, but I didn’t let Xiao Er say that it was from me.He Linyuan looked at Ye Ying's secretly annoyed look and was very puzzled.But he didn't ask, if he asked, wouldn't it just add fuel to the fire, he's not that stupid.

The two finished the meal with their own concerns.

"Master Ye, what's the matter later? If you have nothing to do, why don't you come to my house?" He Linyuan suggested.

Ye Ying originally wanted to say that I was going to choose a birthday gift for her father, but then she thought that there are not many opportunities to go to He Linyuan's residence.This gift can be picked at any time, and this opportunity is rare. "Okay," Ye Ying replied cheerfully.

Seeing that Ye Ying agreed, He Linyuan was also very happy.So the two walked to He's mansion. .They also met many women on the road, and seeing He Linyuan and Ye Ying walking together, those women became even more enthusiastic.Although Ye Ying is not as good as He Linyuan, there are still women who fall in love with her.Seeing Ye Ying and He Linyuan walking together, Ye Chen consciously walked behind them and kept a distance from them, blocking the girl for them from time to time.

Ye Chen groaned in his heart, you are showing your affection in public!

This He Fu Ye Ying has also been here many times, but every time he came, he basically came under the banner of delivering things to He Linyuan.

Where do you get so many things?This is the "privilege" that Ye Ying asked Ye Hongxin to come. All the things that Ye Mansion wanted to send to He Mansion had to go through Ye Ying's eyes, and then Ye Ying would choose some things from them and send them to He Mansion in person.

When Ye Hongxin first heard Ye Ying tell him about this, he thought that Ye Ying had taken a fancy to a young lady from the He family, but it was impossible to think about it.There is only He Linyuan in this He residence. He Linyuan's parents died young, and he has no siblings. There are only servant girls in the residence.

Ye Ying prevaricated by using the excuse that he wanted to learn more from He Linyuan.God knows how flustered Ye Ying was that day, for fear that Ye Hongxin would find out.

The author has something to say:

Ye Ying's scheming is quite deep.
