Chapter 52 Etiquette
Lian Zhou speculated and asked, "Then regarding the price...should we give Doctor Ye some leeway?"
But Shen Yanchuan shook his head: "No need."
Lian Zhou was at a loss, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what his master was thinking.
Ever since the master learned that Doctor Ye and the others had also come to the capital, he has been paying special attention to what is going on there.
He had never seen his master care so much about other women.
Now Dr. Ye wants to buy the shop, which will cost a lot of money, but where can she get so much money?
She has three younger brothers and sisters who depend on her for support. Even if she can make money from running that small clinic, the money she saves will probably be far from enough.
Chen Yanchuan didn't seem to be worried about this, and chuckled: "If she couldn't even solve this little trouble, she wouldn't choose to return to Beijing."
Lian Zhou was stunned: "You mean, she came back this time... prepared?"
More than that.
I’m afraid that when she comes back this time, the entire Ye family will not be at peace.
"Just give it to her at the normal market price. If she wants it, she will get it." Shen Yanchuan said.
The woman was born with a very smart mind and was extremely intelligent. Any slight change would attract her attention and alertness.
Therefore, the best way is to respond to ever-changing situations by remaining constant.
Lian Zhou clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"
…
On the second day, there was a family dinner at the Ye Mansion.
The whole mansion started to get busy since early morning. Maids and servants came and went to arrange things and serve, and they were almost too busy to rest.
Ye Heng's appointment document as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple has been officially issued, and he is now a true fourth-rank official.
Those invited this time were naturally all colleagues in the court and high-ranking officials.
An ordinary fourth-rank official wouldn't have such a grand ceremony. The reason why the Ye family's banquet was so grand and lively was mainly because Ye Heng's position was rather special.
Although the rank is not high, it has real rights.
In addition, he is good at networking and making connections, so many people will give him face and support him.
In the study, Gao's face was full of surprise: "I said that your good niece and nephew came back at the right time! Not too early or too late, but right now! Now many people in the capital know that they are back alive, and now they have to attend this family banquet!"
Ye Heng adjusted his collar, a little impatient with her complaints.
"Just join us, they are just a few half-grown kids, what can they do?"
Gao snorted coldly: "Child? I have never seen such a powerful child! That Ye Chutang looks polite, but he is actually not easy to mess with!"
She couldn't explain why she had this feeling, but she just felt inexplicably annoyed and wary of Ye Chutang.
She's only been here for two days, but she's already caused chaos in the mansion. Is this something an ordinary person can do?
"Then why don't you just not provoke her?" Ye Heng frowned. "Those little ones are nothing to worry about. As for her, she is already seventeen years old and is old enough to get married. Why don't you just pick a good match for her and marry her off?"
Gao's eyes lit up: "Yes! Why didn't I think of that!?"
Once you get married, it's like spilled water, and you have nothing to do with the Ye family anymore.
By then, no matter how capable she is, can she still reach out to me?
Ye Heng had obviously planned this a long time ago. "There are many people attending the banquet today. This is just a side thing."
"Wouldn't that be too good for her?" Gao curled her lips. "All the people here today are well-known. How can she, an orphan without a father or a mother, marry into such a family?"
Ye Heng glanced at her and said, "She is my niece, Ye Heng. If she really finds a poor and broke man, it will be a disgrace to me! Besides, even if they are from a wealthy family, not all of them are suitable for each other."
Gao understood what he meant instantly and was immediately moved.
yes!
It is hard to find a good marriage in this world. How many women have to suffer in the harem for their entire lives?
That gentle and beautiful face appeared in her mind, and Gao's heart tightened. That invisible sense of threat came over her again.
——We must get rid of this plague god quickly!
…
Distinguished guests came one after another, and the entire Ye Mansion was bustling with activity.
Ye Heng greeted the guests one by one and invited them to take their seats.
Suddenly, the servant's voice came:
"Master Xu is here!"
Ye Heng's heart skipped a beat and he looked up quickly, only to see that it was Xu Fengchi.
Upon hearing the sound, several people nearby immediately looked outside the door with surprised expressions.
"Master Xu? The one from the Censorate?"
"Doesn't he hate this kind of occasion? Why did he come this time?"
"Have you forgotten? He has a very close relationship with Ye Zheng! Ye Heng is Ye Zheng's biological brother, so he will naturally give him this face!"
While everyone was whispering, Ye Heng had quickly adjusted his expression and walked over to greet them with a smile.
"Master Xu!"
He was actually quite surprised that Xu Fengchi would come in person, but then he thought about it and understood - it was probably because of Ye Chutang and the others.
Xu Fengchi had a good relationship with Ye Zheng, but he was not very familiar with Ye Heng. Although they served in the same court and lived in the same capital, they had almost no private interactions.
But now that they are here, we naturally have to greet them with a smile.
Xu Fengchi bowed politely: "Master Ye."
…
"Why is he here?"
Ye Shixian, who was dressing up, paused.
Shaoyao was very excited: "Not only that! Not only Lord Xu is here, but even Master Xu is here too!"
Xu Fengchi had only one son, Xu Rongqing.
Ye Shixian was really shocked this time.
Xu Rongqing became famous at a young age. He was handsome and talented. He was the dream man of many girls in Beijing, and was also a candidate for son-in-law favored by many aristocratic families.
Shaoyao said proudly: "Mr. Xu must be coming for the young lady!"
Ye Shixian doesn't think so.
She had met Xu Rongqing several times, and he was not the type to join in the fun. The reason why he showed up tonight...
"Could it be because of Ye Chutang?"
Shaoyao curled her lips in disdain: "How could it be? There are so many outstanding ladies in the capital who are interested in Master Xu, why would he care about an orphan girl?"
Ye Shixian hesitated to speak.
Ye Chutang really didn't have anything to show off right now, but she had a face like that...
She changed a jade hairpin and said, "By the way, send that cup of Sichuan Fritillary and Snow Pear Water to my cousin."
…
Ye Chutang scooped it with the spoon, and the sweet aroma was very rich.
She raised an eyebrow.
"It's really hard for her to come all the way here to send such a nice gift."
