After walking a few steps, Ye Mingjie waved to a passing servant. "Go and ask the lady to come to the front yard and tell her that a distinguished guest has arrived."
He led Gu Beiheng and Su Qi into the front yard and sat down in a pavilion next to the front yard.
Summer is quite hot nowadays.
The waterside pavilion is just cool.
A breeze blew over, blocking out the anxious sunlight.
A servant came over and brought a set of Kung Fu tea set.
A few plates of chilled fruit.
There are also two or three exquisite snacks.
Each one represents the owner's elegance.
"Sister-in-law, I'm being very casual here. I met Brother Gu in Northwest City a while ago." Ye Mingjie gently washed the teacup, occasionally looking up and lost in memory. "I almost lost my life, but luckily Brother Gu who passed by saved me."
"After that, we spent more than three months together in Northwest City. I have to say, those days were truly the most precious experiences of my life."
Su Qi looked at Gu Beiheng.
Gu Beiheng's most passionate life was in Northwest City.
Gu Beiheng quietly took Su Qi's hand and gently kneaded it twice in her palm. "Qiqi, I will tell you anything you want to hear from now on."
"Okay." Su Qi said playfully.
Ye Mingjie didn't expect that Gu Beiheng, who never talked about his family, actually had such a tender side.
Could it be that this person is not his original wife?
He suppressed the doubts in his heart.
A young lady wearing a double-breasted dress with scattered floral patterns and a hair full of dazzling pearls and jade came over from outside the pavilion.
The fragrance on her body was strong and fragrant, and she covered her mouth with her hands and laughed exaggeratedly:
"I heard that a distinguished person had come from afar. I came over to see what a beautiful person he really is."
Ye Mingjie frowned slightly, looked at his wife who was dressed like a butterfly, and then looked at Su Qi who looked like a secluded orchid in a valley. He suddenly regretted letting this noisy woman come over.
If she is not allowed to come, everything will be turned upside down again.
"How much aromatherapy did you use?" Ye Mingjie waved the pungent fragrance in the air unhappily.
"The light floral scent wafting through our waterside pavilion is just right. Yours is too strong and cloying." Ye Mingjie continued, "Brother Gu, sister-in-law. This is my wife, Ban Juan."
Ban Juan didn't expect Ye Mingjie to ignore her and her smiling face could no longer remain.
"I just heard that a distinguished person was coming. I don't usually do this."
"You usually look this rich, but there are fewer jewels on your head." Ye Mingjie shook his head and sighed.
The pieces on my head were like jewelry meeting, colliding with each other and making crisp sounds.
Ban Juan looked unhappy.
Seeing that the two seemed to have just woken up, Su Qi quickly said, "Mrs. Ye is young, so of course she should dress up more. I think the color of her clothes is beautiful and it looks very suitable for this scene."
Ban Juan covered her nose and smiled, "Mrs. Gu really has good taste. Unlike my master, who is always serious and boring."
From the behavior of the two people.
Su Qi could tell that they must be very respectful to each other in their daily lives.
Just like a bowl of cold water without any temperature.
Ye Mingjie didn't say anything more. He was chatting with Gu Beiheng.
Su Qi thought of Mrs. Ye's surname, Ban, and asked if she could take her to the garden. "The conversations between the men are really boring for us women. How about Mrs. Ye take me for a walk in the garden?"
When Mrs. Ye heard this, she thought it was a great idea.
Not to mention strolling in the garden, he's even happy to go outside and tear down houses.
"Okay. I'll take you there. I tell you it would be fun if I took you to my private villa. There are a lot of things there you haven't seen." Ban Juan rolled her eyes at Ye Mingjie proudly.
She stood up and left with Su Qi.
Before leaving, Su Qi gave Gu Beiheng a reassuring look.
Wait until Su Qi and Ban Juan leave.
Ye Mingjie's long-time attendant came over with his agent.
The broker's surname is Xia and he is thin.
He stepped forward, bowed, and introduced himself.
Ye Mingjie asked him to sit down and talk in detail.
The Xia Ya people sat upright on the stools in the corner, but they didn't dare to sit down completely. Some of them sat down a little bit, with half of their bodies still standing.
"I wonder what kind of yard Mr. Gu wants? I do have several yards on hand, two of which are very good. They are very suitable for your requirements, and the location is not far from here."
"Isn't that a bad place?" Ye Mingjie frowned.
Xia Yaren's fingers moved slightly. "They say it's a feng shui problem. But when the Ke family was at its peak, there was no feng shui problem. There was also a courtyard that belonged to the former fiancée of the War King of the Dongqi Kingdom."
"It's still haunted."
Gu Beiheng glanced at the ancient sword placed beside him.
I felt an urge in my heart and wanted to go and see that yard.
"I want to see both of these yards. If the price is right, I'd like to buy both." Gu Beiheng knew that a lot must have happened between these two families, so that everyone avoided talking about these two houses.
Ye Mingjie's expression suddenly changed. He pointed at Xia Yaren and said, "You are a profiteer. I asked you to recommend some houses, but you insisted on mentioning these two.
The Ke family's house has been empty for at least seventy or eighty years. The War King's fiancée's house has only been empty for about twenty years, but what happened there was too bizarre. It's not suitable for living there at all.
The Xia Ya people trembled with fear under Ye Mingjie's control.
He hurriedly explained:
"Master Ye, even if I had ten guts, I wouldn't dare to fool your friend. This isn't his request. These two houses are the most suitable, and they are really quiet. The place is large, and the neighbors across the street also use other doors to enter and exit."
Gu Beiheng smiled and stopped Ye Mingjie who wanted to beat up the Xia Ya people.
"Brother. You know I don't believe this. I want to see these two places."
"Let's listen to my sister-in-law's opinion." Ye Mingjie hurriedly asked the servant to find Su Qi.
Su Qi and Ban Juan didn't see much of anything along the way. They just listened to Ban Juan complain about Ye Mingjie being old-fashioned, pedantic, and boring. From the top of his head to the bottom of his feet, there was nothing she liked about him.
Su Qi was puzzled. Ban Juan's personality should be that of someone who does what he wants.
If you don't like someone like this, you should divorce them.
"How did you get married in the first place?"
Ban Juan seemed to have paused, and remained silent. With a strange expression on her face, she stammered, "It's my parents' orders, and the matchmaker's words."
But Su Qi could see that there was more to it than that.
Su Qi calmly asked about some matters of her mother's family, and when she talked about her mother's family, Ban Juan looked proud and proud.
But not too much to say.
She simply said that her mother's family was an existence that the Ye family could never rival. With a look of disdain on her face, she said, "I married into the Ye family, while women generally marry into a higher class. But our Ban family is second to none in Yunzhou City and even on this continent."
If I had married into the royal family of Dongqi Kingdom, it would have been considered a fair marriage. But I married this thing instead."
She didn't care who Su Qi was.
Su Qi knew that this woman looked stupid, but she was not. She didn't say a word about her family that she shouldn't say, and she only talked about things that everyone knew.
At this time.
The maid came over and said that Gu Beiheng had been tricked by the Xia Ya people into choosing those two houses with bad feng shui. Ye Mingjie asked Su Qi to come over so that he could hear her opinion.
Ban Juan looked strange.
Su Qi asked Ban Juan doubtfully, "What's the story behind these two houses?"
Ban Juan told Su Qi the origins of the two houses.
Hear this.
Su Qi knew why Gu Beiheng wanted to buy these two houses.
The old house of the Ke family was naturally bought for Mr. Ke, and giving it to Mr. Ke in the future would be a token of their filial piety to him.
