Chapter 234 My Room Fee
What Ye Wu said sounded reasonable, but Ye Mingzhu didn't want a stranger to live in her house.
If it was just Ye Wu, of course it would be okay, but with Fu Chengyun, she would say no both on her face and in her heart.
She always felt that Fu Chengyun looked down on her. Although Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu were also noblemen from the capital and their family backgrounds were similar, Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu were obviously much more polite to her.
As for Fu Chengyun, when they met for the first time, he was secretly rolling his eyes. Don't think she didn't see it. She also holds a grudge and will not forgive him easily.
Ye Mingzhu did not refuse directly, but just said that Jiang Hongyu was not at home and she could not let them stay.
Ye Wu didn't want to force Ye Mingzhu, so he could only follow her and think hard about where to find a clean guest room for Fu Chengyun.
The two walked into the room one after the other. Uncle Yan was talking to Fu Chengyun.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left you all alone." Uncle Yan's face was filled with guilt. "I'll stay home for the next few days. Even if that person comes, he won't be able to come back."
Ye Mingzhu knew that Uncle Yan could not be blamed for this. Who could have thought that their luck was so bad that they would be targeted as soon as they returned.
"Uncle Yan, this is not your fault. We didn't take anything from them, and we're not afraid of them coming after us."
"That's not necessarily true. If you say you didn't take it, others may not believe you." Fu Chengyun said slowly, "I bet you that person will not only not believe it, but will also come to your house to check."
Uncle Yan frowned. Although he didn't see the two people who bought the house, he could guess something from Fu Chengyun's words just now.
"I'll stay at home for the next few days. If anyone comes, don't leave."
Uncle Yan made up his mind that if that man came, he would never be able to return.
"It's okay, Uncle Yan. We have nothing at home. If they want to come and check, let them come." Ye Mingzhu had the opposite idea from Uncle Yan. He thought that since the other party had come and checked and knew that they had no military books at home, they would naturally not come.
"No need to go to so much trouble, Uncle Yan. I will go back with you and stay for a few days. With me here, they won't dare to cause trouble." Fu Chengyun was very confident in his identity.
He and Ye Wu had already been wandering around the town for a day, and he probably knew that he couldn't find any accommodation here that met his requirements.
Meeting Ye Mingzhu was an accident, but he could stay at her house. He had lived in the Jiang family in Yuanshan Village. Although it was simple, it was still clean. He thought the house in the town would be better.
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect Fu Chengyun to make the same request as Ye Wu. She used the same excuse: "Brother Yu is not at home. It's not convenient for you to live there."
"I live with Uncle Yan." Fu Chengyun looked at Uncle Yan and said, "Uncle Yan, my father said that you are good at martial arts and upright. If I meet you here, I will definitely learn more from you. You will definitely not refuse me, right?"
Uncle Yan knew that Fu Chengyun had a high status and wanted to make some connections for Jiang Hongyu and his wife, but the house belonged to Ye Mingzhu and his wife, and he couldn't make the decision. He just waved his hand and said that the house belonged to Ye Mingzhu and she could make the decision.
Fu Chengyun looked at Ye Mingzhu, but he was embarrassed and finally said, "I am the military supervisor sent by the capital. I am with Jiang Hongyu every day."
Ye Mingzhu's eyes narrowed when she heard this. She didn't like being threatened.
Ye Wu was about to say something when Fu Chengyun took something out of his pocket and slammed it on the table: "Can this be used as my room fee?"
Ye Mingzhu rolled her eyes at him and didn't want to accept his room fee.
Ye Yun'an, who had almost finished eating, picked up the banknotes on the table and looked at them. He wanted to speak, but Ye Mingzhu glared at him.
Fu Chengyun frowned: "One hundred taels a day is not enough, don't go too far."
One hundred taels? One day?
Ye Mingzhu tried her best to control her speed and wanted to take the banknote from Ye Yun'an's hand to take a look.
Ye Yunan placed the banknote in Ye Mingzhu's hand considerately: "Sister, this banknote seems to be real."
"Of course it's real," Fu Chengyun sneered, "Do you think I'd use fake banknotes?"
Ye Mingzhu held the banknote in her hand and then took a serious look at Fu Chengyun. Where did this come from? A stupid man with a lot of money, um, a young master?
One hundred taels a night? If he stayed for a few days, he could buy her house.
Ye Wu was also confused by Fu Chengyun. He had been following Xiao Wu for some time and had gained some knowledge, but he did not expect that following Fu Chengyun would broaden his horizons even more.
"Sister, why don't we let Master Fu live in our house? After all, he is on the island with my brother-in-law. We can just take care of Master Fu on my brother-in-law's behalf."
Ye Yun'an observed his sister's expression and spoke tentatively.
"..." Ye Mingzhu pursed her lips. She had been refusing just now. How about accepting it now?
"Mingzhu, I was in the capital back then, and I had some connections with Master Fu's father there, so let her live with me."
Uncle Yan looked at the sky outside and said, "It's getting dark soon. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Master Fu to find a place to stay."
Ye Mingzhu looked at Aunt Jiang: "Mom, what do you think?"
Aunt Jiang put down her chopsticks and said, "Just make the decision about the family matters."
Under the gazes of several people, Ye Mingzhu put away the banknotes and said, "I can let you live in my house, but you can only live in the front yard, not the back yard."
"Since you and Brother Yu are on the island together, I will have someone cook for you. However, we come from a poor family and only have simple meals."
Fu Chengyun didn't expect Ye Mingzhu to provide meals, so he stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."
Ye Mingzhu looked at the others. Everyone said they were full. Fu Chengyun paid for the meal conscientiously. The corners of Ye Mingzhu's mouth curled up.
It was already dark outside. Ye Wu borrowed a lantern from the shopkeeper, and the few of them returned to Jiang's house with the dim light.
Ye Yun'an went forward and knocked on the door. Lao Hu came over quickly, his voice full of joy: "Madam, you are back?"
A group of people entered the house. Ye Mingzhu pointed to the houses not far away and said to Fu Chengyun, "You can live in those rooms. They were where Yu Jiaming and his friends lived when they came here before."
Fu Chengyun knew that Yu Jiaming was Yu Yanli's pseudonym, but he still said with some dissatisfaction: "How can you call Yanli by his name directly?"
Ye Mingzhu was tired after a day and had a headache. She didn't indulge him at all: "If it weren't for me, you might not be able to see him. What's wrong with me just calling his name?"
Fu Chengyun then remembered that Ye Mingzhu was Yu Jiaming's savior, and was speechless.
Ye Mingzhu was afraid that she would regret letting him move in, so she said directly to Uncle Yan: "Uncle Yan, it's getting late. Mother and I will go back to the backyard first. Sir Fu will be taken care of by you."
She looked at Ye Wu next to her and said, "Brother Wu, if you need anything, just ask Lao Hu."
"Prepare a set of clean bedding and toiletries for me." Fu Chengyun immediately made the request.
Ye Mingzhu helped Aunt Jiang back to the backyard as if she didn't hear anything.
