Chapter 7

Seeing that the time was almost up, everyone left one after another.Yu Ze and Ling Xichi wanted to ask He Linyuan to go together, they walked to He Linyuan's table, saw Ye Ying lying on He Linyuan's table, and just about to make a sound, He Linyuan whispered, "Go first, no need Wait for me."

Ling Xichi wanted to say something, but was forcibly pulled away by Yu Ze.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

"To shut up."

Seeing that the two of them had left, He Linyuan helped Ye Ying up and walked towards his bedroom.

Ye Yi came over to see He Linyuan supporting the drunken Ye Ying, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. He, why don't you let Ye Chen come. It's getting late today, why don't you just rest here, how about it?"

"If you don't bother me, let me do it. ... Then I will bother you today."

Ye Yi couldn't say anything, so he asked Ye Chen to lead the way for He Linyuan.

He Linyuan helped Ye Ying back to the bedroom. He Linyuan took off Ye Ying's coat, shoes and socks, removed Ye Ying's hair pin, wiped it with a wet handkerchief, covered him with a quilt, and went out.

Ye Chen stood aside, watching He Linyuan cover Ye Ying with a quilt.

Because the mansion had just left and the guests still had a lot of things to take care of, the servants of Ye's mansion were almost overwhelmed, and He Linyuan didn't ask the servants to prepare hot water for Ye Ying to take a bath.

He Linyuan was taken to the guest room by his servants, but he ran into Ye Xi on the way.

Ye Xi let Xiaosi, who was leading the way, go down, and took He Linyuan by himself.

Ye Xi held the painting carefully drawn by himself that day, and buried his head a little low.

Ye Xi pondered for a while and said, "Master He, this is a painting I painted with my own hands. It is not a respect, but I hope Master He can accept it."

"Miss Ye has a heart, but I can't accept this painting, and I hope you can take it back."

"Master He, you...do you know what I mean?" Ye Xi lowered his head when he said this, his face flushed.

"Miss Ye, actually..." He Linyuan couldn't think of how to reject Ye Xi at this time, but he still told the truth, "I will tell Miss Ye, I already have a sweetheart."

"Really?" Ye Xi couldn't help but feel sad when he heard that He Linyuan had long been attached to him.

"Yes, it's just...he doesn't know yet. So Miss Ye, I hope you don't waste your good years on me. Miss Ye, you will definitely find someone more suitable for you. "

"Hmm..." Ye Xi still couldn't accept it in his heart, and just froze in place.

"It's getting late at night, Miss Ye should go to bed early too." He Linyuan turned around and left after leaving these words.

He Linyuan's heart is also very complicated. Just ask yourself, when facing Ye Ying, his mind is full of ethics.But can he really watch Ye Ying get married and have children calmly?Obviously he was the one who pushed Ye Ying away with his own hands, but can he stop himself from approaching Ye Ying?

He Linyuan returned to the room, He Linyuan also drank a lot today, so he washed up early and went to bed.

Ye Ying wakes up with a hangover, but her head hurts.Have breakfast in the dining room before washing up.Seeing that He Linyuan was eating at the round table, he was shocked in his heart, "Eh...why is Mr. He here?"

"Last night you were drunk and Mr. He sent you back to your room. It was getting late, Mr. He couldn't go back home, so you stayed in Ye's mansion. You still have to thank Mr. He." Ye Yi explained.

"Oh, then...then thank you, Master He." Ye Ying scratched her head.

I said, originally I was drinking with He Linyuan, so why did I wake up in bed.Ye Ying thought to herself.

But Ye Ying thought about it again, even though He Linyuan didn't see her disheveled clothes after waking up today, it was still very strange for He Linyuan to go to her bedroom or something.Ye Ying blushed again.

"It's okay, Young Master Ye, let's sit down and have a meal together." He Linyuan looked at Ye Yingna.Like a puppy.He Linyuan felt itchy in his heart.

"Yeah." Ye Ying sat down to eat breakfast. "Brother, why are there only us, where are the parents? Where's Xiao Xi?" Ye Ying saw that there were only the elder brother, sister-in-law, He Linyuan and him, and felt puzzled.

"Father ate it early, saying that he had something to do and left early. Mother and father ate together, and they should be in the Buddhist hall now. Xiaoxi, the maid went to call this morning, but Xiaoxi said she didn't have an appetite, so she didn't want to eat. It's gone." Ye Yi picked up a steamed dumpling for Ye Ying.

"Oh..." Ye Ying took a bite of the steamed dumplings.

Ye Ying knew that Xiao Xi was pissed off yesterday, but there was nothing she could do about it, it was better to stop Ye Xi's thoughts earlier.

When He Linyuan heard this, he glanced at Ye Ying with complicated eyes.I wonder if Ye Ying knows that Ye Xi likes her.

But looking at Ye Ying's calm face, maybe Ye Ying doesn't know it yet, after all, Ye Ying is still a little slow when facing emotions.

Ye Yi knew Ye Xi liked He Linyuan yesterday when he saw Ye Xi's eyes staring at He Linyuan. He originally thought that He Linyuan had some affection for Xiao Xi, so he left He Linyuan last night.

The three finished their meal with their own concerns, He Linyuan said goodbye, Ye Ying also went to Xiangju Building to have a look, and they went out together.

The two walked in silence for a while, and He Linyuan asked aloud, "Is Mr. Ye better?"

"Hmm...it's much better, just go to the building later and let the building make a bowl of hangover soup to drink, it's fine." He Linyuan was relieved when he heard that.

When the two reached the fork in the road, He Linyuan said goodbye to Ye Ying. "Young Master Ye, I still have some things to deal with, so I'll take my leave first."

"Hmm..." Ye Ying felt a little bit reluctant, looking at He Linyuan's back for a long time and couldn't regain his senses.

Ye Ying stood quietly at the intersection in a daze. After a while, Ye Ying started to go to Xiangju Building.

When Ye Ying arrived, she saw Li Ranhan yelling.

"Who are you? You don't even inquire. No one in the imperial city knows me, Li Ranhan. I think you are tired of work and dare to come to my territory to make trouble."

Li Ranhan said that he was about to go up with a wooden stick, but was stopped by the guys around him, otherwise he would be beaten up.

"Sister Han, what's the matter?" Ye Ying looked at this scene in confusion, and asked Li Ranhan aloud.

"It's nothing, it's just that this kid wants to eat the overlord's meal. I think he's tired of working. Don't worry about it. I must fix him today." After Li Ranhan finished speaking, he wanted to go up again, and Ye Ying had to stop him.

"Sister Han, forget it, it's just a meal, you don't need to be so angry." Ye Ying pulled Li Ranhan to sit down at the table.

Li Ranhan stared at Ye Ying, "You today..."

Ye Ying looked at Li Ranhan suspiciously.

"It's okay, since you've said that, forget it." Li Ranhan asked the assistant to get him out.

"Yesterday was your father's birthday, why did you come today?" Li Ranhan sent the waiter away.

"It's nothing, I'm just bored at home, so I thought of coming here to have a look." Ye Ying paused and then said, "Sister Han, I still have a headache, how about making me a bowl of hangover soup?"

Li Ranhan looked at Ye Ying's haggard look, and felt a little distressed, "Okay, just wait. It will be fine in a while." After speaking, Li Ranhan entered the back kitchen.

Ye Ying flipped through the accounts on the counter alone, and made a lot of money this month, but Ye Ying thought about it, the second head of the family probably got a lot this month.

Just as he was thinking about Li Ranhan, he came with hangover soup. Li Ranhan saw Ye Ying reading the accounts, "Look at this month's accounts, and see if there is anything wrong." Li Ranhan handed Ye Ying the hangover soup.

"Well, I'll take a closer look today. I think it's been a long time since I took care of my accounts carefully." Ye Ying drank the hangover soup in one gulp. "Well, the hangover soup made by Sister Han tastes the best."

"You also know that you haven't managed the account for a long time? Speaking of which, it will be the day to collect the account in a few days this month. Or, as before, give [-]% to the second shopkeeper who has never seen it?"

"En." Ye Ying fiddled with the abacus and answered casually.

"I said, why don't you take back all of the Xiangju building? The business in the building is very good now. If it can be taken back, it will definitely make more money than it is now. Even if he asks for a higher price."

"Well, I wanted to take it back before, but I thought about it again. It's better not to have a family in this building."

"why?"

"Do you think that I can open a restaurant under the imperial city? Is it because I open it whenever I want? I'm afraid my father has put a lot of effort behind it. There is still power behind the case last year. I can escape safely without those two people." The power of the shopkeeper. He can take out so much money in a short period of time, and the officials will come to apologize the next day. I don’t want to take it back. First, I want my father to worry less, and second, I want the second shopkeeper to continue Cover me. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

"That's true, but I haven't seen the second shopkeeper before, are you not worried?"

"What are you worried about? As long as this Xiangju building is still open, I'm not worried."

"Oh, by the way, there is something I forgot to tell you. I will go to Jiangnan to visit my tea garden in two months, and I will leave this building to you."

"Well, don't worry about going. Are you going alone?" Li Ranhan said indifferently.

Ye Ying looked at her, "Do you want to go with me?"

"No, just ask."

"...Well, go alone."

Ye Ying really stayed in the restaurant all day looking at the accounts, and by the way calculated the money for the second shopkeeper.

Tsk, there are quite a few.Ye Ying felt heartbroken looking at the numbers on the ledger.Well, it's a tribute.

Ye Ying didn't go back until after dinner.

After washing, Ye Ying sat in the pavilion in the yard wearing a robe. Ye Ying lit the incense and played the piano with her hand.Thinking about it, apart from doing business, Ye Ying only has one hobby of playing the piano.Ye Ying would go to Jiangnan every few months, first to see the tea garden that Ye Ying bought in Jiangnan, and second, to find a bosom friend by the Qinhuai River, Ye Ying actually found a bosom friend two years ago .Shen Xiao lives up to his name, Shen Xiao plays the flute very well, and he and Ye Ying can know each other well.Ye Ying communicates with him very frequently, and the two of them need to write a letter every half a month.

This trip to the south of the Yangtze River is definitely to visit Shen Xiao, Ye Ying is looking forward to it very much.

Ye Ying thought about it and felt happy, until Ye Chen came.

"It's time to go back to the room, the night dew is heavy."

"Yes. By the way, you go and prepare the things you need to bring to Jiangnan." Ye Ying put away the piano and went back to the room.Said to Ye Chen when the door was about to close.

"it is good."
