Chapter 165: Completely Broken

Ye Quan sat down on the edge of the kang with a pipe in his mouth and looked like an old god was there. He had made up his mind that there was nothing Ye Annian could do against them.

　　For a moment, the atmosphere in the room froze.

　　Zhao Li was looking at the two people who were in a stalemate and felt a little at a loss.

　　In the final analysis, he is just an outsider. He can preside over the divorce and be a fair person, but he cannot interfere too much.

　　Just when he was worried, he saw Jiang Zhu take out a pen and ink from nowhere, put it on the table with a "dang" sound, and then began to sharpen the ink.

　　Ye Anyian immediately understood. He picked up the pen, put ink on it, signed his name on the divorce letter, took out the hairpin, pricked his finger, and made a fingerprint.

　　He performed this set of movements so smoothly that Ye Quan didn't react at all.

　　After he finished signing, Ye Quan looked at the bright red handprints on it and let out a disdainful "hum".

　　"What's the use of signing it alone? If you want to break off the relationship, just do as I say. Otherwise, no matter how hard you work, it will be in vain."

　　"Brother Nian, it's already this time, just listen to your father."

　　Wu Xianglian also entered the room at some point and stood next to Ye Quan, pretending to be kind and persuading.

　　Ye Annian ignored her and glanced at Jiang Zhu.

　　Jiang Zhu curled his lips, suddenly grabbed Ye Quan's hand, put the brush into his hand, forced him to sign the divorce letter, and then took Ye Annian's hairpin and pricked his With his fingers, he pressed his fingerprints on the divorce letter.

　　He moved quickly and steadily, and by the time Ye Quan reacted, the divorce letter had been signed.

　　"You, you guys!"

　　Wu Xianglian was dumbfounded, and her hand trembling as she pointed at Jiang Zhu: "This is outrageous!"

　　"Zhao Lizheng, you saw it! Just now, just now..."

　　"Ahem," Zhao Lizheng coughed awkwardly, picked up the signed divorce letter on the table, and stood up.

　　"Another year has passed. This man is really old. Why are my eyes looking a little dazzling?"

　　As he said this, he walked out. Ye Quan was forced to sign the divorce letter, and he still sat there without moving at all.

　　Wu Xianglian was anxious and pulled Zhao Lizheng's arm: "Stop! Zhao Tiangang, what do you mean?"

　　"The two of them forced my old man to sign under your nose. This can't be counted!"

　　Zhao Lizheng paused when she pulled him, frowned impatiently, and shook her hand away: "I came here just for the divorce letter. Now that it's signed, my business is done. "

　　After saying that, he strode away from Lao Ye's house.

　　Wu Xianglian looked at his back. It was neither chasing him nor chasing him. She turned back to look at Ye Quan in the room. The old man was still sitting on the kang, smoking without saying a word.

After Zhao Lizheng left, Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu naturally would not stay any longer, so they also left.

　　"Old man," Wu Xianglian was at a loss, "What are you doing?! Just let them leave like this?!"

　　"Otherwise." Ye Quan's face looked ugly, and his pipe burned a dark mark on the table.

　　"Can't you see? Then Zhao Tiangang is helping them. What's the use of keeping them? "

　　"What should we do, the relationship is broken off like this?" Wu Xianglian said unwillingly, her fingers clasped on the door frame.

　　"Huh..." Ye Quan took a long drag on his pipe and blew out a smoke ring, "I've signed the divorce letter, what else do you want?"

　　Seeing that Wu Xianglian was still furious, Ye Quan sighed and said, "Go out, we still have to arrange Cheng He's funeral."

　　Wu Xianglian said nothing and turned away.

　　Ye Quan looked at her back as she left angrily and shook his head.

　　Today's Ye family is no longer what it used to be, and Zhao Lizheng's attitude today says it all.

　　With this signature, the last rope they had to tie Ye Anyian was completely broken.

　　…

　　Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu left Lao Ye's house. The sun had already risen very high. At noon after the snow fell, the sunshine was warm and warm on them.

　　After finishing the book signing, Ye Anyian felt relaxed all over.

　　Thinking of the original owner who was killed by Ye Chenghe, he curled his lips. If the original owner had a soul in heaven, he should be able to rest in peace.

　　I was lost in thought when my fingers suddenly felt warm.

　　When he came back to his senses, he found that the finger he had just pricked with a hairpin was being held in Jiang Zhu's mouth.

　　"you..."

　　Ye Anian wanted to pull his fingers back, but Jiang Zhu's grip was so tight that he couldn't pull them away at all.

　　After a while, Jiang Zhu let him go.

　　Ye Annian frowned.

　　"Why do you dislike me?" Jiang Zhu leaned over and rested his chin on Ye Anyian's shoulder.

　　Ye Anian's neck felt itchy due to him, so he stretched out his hand to push him: "It's outside, don't do this."

　　"There's no one here." Jiang Zhu said this, but he immediately stood up and held Ye Anyian's hand, "Then let's keep it this way."

　　"Yes." Ye Anqing responded softly, raising an imperceptible arc at the corner of his mouth.

　　Remembering that the two children were still waiting at home, the two of them stopped talking and walked quickly home.

　　…

　　The divorce issue was settled like this. I thought that Ye Quan or Wu Xianglian would have some backup plans, but until Ye Chenghe was buried, there was no movement in the old Ye family.

The grievances and grievances between Ye Anyian and them seemed to have come to an abrupt end just because of this piece of paper.

　　Without people like Lao Ye's family acting like monsters from time to time, the two people's little life becomes more and more nourishing.

　　After the Lantern Festival on the 15th, Ye Anyian went to Hongfu Academy to find Feng Mingxu. When he mentioned the two children coming to study in the academy, Feng Mingxu naturally happily agreed.

So the two parties made an appointment to send the two children over when it gets warmer in March.

　　The Xu family has been rooted in Anxing County for a long time, and Mr. Wen disdains being complicit with them, so there is basically no business of the Wen family in Anxing.

　　Now Mr. Wen has gradually established a firm foothold there since he took over part of the Xu family's shop business.

　　After thinking about it for a long time, I came to Ye Anyian to talk about opening a branch in Anxing County.

　　It happened that Ye Annian was also thinking about this matter, but if he wanted to open a branch store, he would not open another toy store like Guangyin Shop.

　　The items sold in Guangyin Shop are too complicated, and it would be difficult to open another one. He planned to divide it into some categories.

　　Moreover, he has some feelings for a shop like Guangyin Shop, which is full of childhood memories. He does not plan to open a semicolon anymore since this is the only shop.

　　I went back and discussed it with Jiang Zhu in the evening, and Jiang Zhu agreed very much. Ye Annian began to think about the shop name.

　　After all, if you plan to open a shop in Anxing County that specializes in Rubik's Cube, Luban Lock, Yan Jitu and other educational woodcut toys, you will have to think of a different name for the shop.

　　In the future, more and more branches will be opened. If the names are different, they will not be recognizable and will not be conducive to building a reputation. It is better to have a unified font size.

　　However, fame and other things are matters for the future. For now, we still need to decide on a font size first.

　　The two spent the whole night sitting around the kang table, and finally settled on the three words "The Story of Bamboo Leaves".

　　"The new store in Anxing County is called Zhuyeji Toy Store." Ye Annian said.

　　"Toy?" Jiang Zhu raised an eyebrow.

　　"Toys are small playthings and gadgets, which refer to those things that children play with."

　　"Well, let's call it this."

　　Ye Annian nodded, thinking that if he planned to open a flower lantern shop in the future, he could just call it Zhuye Ji Lamp Shop.

　　"When it subsides in a few days, we'll find someone to add the words 'Bamboo Leaves' on the plaque of Guangyin Shop."

　　Jiang Zhu picked off the overheated wick of the candlestick and said with a smile, "Okay."

　　The matter of opening a branch shop in Anxing County was decided, and a date was made with Mr. Wen to go see the shop together.

　　Ye Annian felt that it was time to buy a carriage this time.

　　The original bullock cart was intended to be sold, but Chen Xiucai bought it, saying that it would be much more convenient for Yang Chi if he wanted to take Lingling to visit him and Huai Shu in the town.

　　After selling the cattle cart, the two went to the cattle and horse store and bought a young and strong black horse. Wen Heng helped them buy a carriage with a reasonable price and good quality.

　　As soon as the new car arrived home, it was immediately surrounded by two children. They were so curious about the little black horse that they climbed into the carriage and sat down.

Tongqian joined in the fun and jumped on, with his front legs lying on the wall of the car. The black dog's head poked out of the window and looked around curiously, making everyone laugh for a while.

　　Two days later, Ye Annian and Jiang Zhu, along with Fu Zai and Ding Qiu, drove a carriage to meet Mr. Wen and his son in the town.

　　The two parties chatted for a while, and then Master Wen looked up and down their newly purchased carriage and praised, "Not bad, not bad. This horse is a good horse, and the carriage is also a good car. Just..."

　　Hearing the change in his voice, Ye Anyian hurriedly asked: "What is it?"

　　"There's just something missing." Mr. Wen said leisurely.

　　Ye Annian heard the sound and looked at his carriage, and felt strange that he had all the necessary equipment, so there should be nothing missing.

　　"We need a coachman." Wen Heng interjected from the side.

　　Only then did Ye Anyian realize, yes, there are already carriages, so how can the owner drive the carriages himself?

　　"It just so happens that I have a few capable coachmen here. You two choose between them." Master Wen said.

　　Both parties were already very familiar with each other, so Ye Anyian didn't refuse. Together with Jiang Zhu, they chose someone with a simple background who was down-to-earth and willing to work.

　　This coachman's name is Wang Lu, a young man with a clean background and a son of the Wen family.

　　He is in his early twenties, has a kind-hearted face, and is an honest person. He has been driving cars for seven or eight years, so he can be said to be experienced and reliable.

　　After the matter was settled, both parties got on the carriage and rushed to Anxing County.

　　Different from the last time, there were no messy things to worry about. This time they went to Anxing County. In addition to looking at the shops, the two of them also planned to take their two children for a walk and have fun.

　　When we arrived in Anxing County, it was almost noon. Mr. Wen, a familiar person, took a few people into a restaurant.

　　The restaurant is not big, but the lobby is packed.

　　As soon as a few people entered the store, the shopkeeper behind the counter greeted them with a smile: "Please come in and invite some distinguished guests. The private rooms have been reserved for you."

　　Mr. Wen took the lead into the private room, and several people followed him and took their seats.

　　"Although this restaurant is not big, it cooks excellent Hunan cuisine. If you can't tolerate spicy food, there are also some good light dishes." Mr. Wen introduced.

　　Ye Anyian asked Mr. Wen to recommend a few dishes, and the last few people ordered four spicy dishes, three light dishes and a basin of soup.

　　After dinner, they went to stay at a nearby inn. Mr. Wen sent someone to say hello in advance. When they arrived, they checked in directly. They were all upper rooms on the second floor. They were clean and tidy and had a good view.

　　It was the first time for Fu Zai to leave Crescent Moon Village and come to such a far place, and he was very curious along the way.

However, he had just finished his meal, and the little dumpling was now spread out on a chair in the room, burping with his round belly. His mouth was still a little red and swollen from eating a lot of spicy food.

　　Ding Qiu was better than Fu Zai, but his lips were also red. The two sat side by side on the chairs, falling into a state of "being full and sleepy".

　　Ye Anian didn't expect that the two children loved spicy food in that restaurant so much. They didn't touch the light dishes much, but they ate a lot of the chili fried pork, spicy chicken, and hot and sour chicken. He didn't stop them. Can't live.

　　If you don't usually eat spicy food, you may get a stomach upset if you suddenly eat too much.

　　Seeing him worrying about the two children, Jiang Zhu came over with a pot of tea: "Drink some chrysanthemum tea and take it easy. If you feel sleepy, you two can go to the bed in the back room and take a nap."

With that said, he poured a glass for each of the two children.

　　Fu Zai and Ding Qiu obediently agreed, finished drinking tea and went to sleep in the inner room.

　　Ye Annian was not sleepy, so he sat down at the table with Jiang Zhu and talked about going to the store in the afternoon.

　　Not long after, I heard a sudden quarrel coming from downstairs.

　　Ye Annian frowned. Jiang Zhu stood up one step ahead of him, patted his shoulder lightly and said, "I'll go take a look."

　　He got up and went out, stood in the corridor and looked down.

　　I saw a group of people coming into the lobby on the first floor, like a rich man with his servants, and they were crowded together and making a lot of noise.

　　Among them, the leader was a young man, wearing a narrow-sleeved indigo robe embroidered with fish patterns and a jade crown. He was negotiating with the innkeeper with an angry look on his face.

　　Jiang Zhu looked down from the second floor and only caught a glimpse of half of his face, but just this glance made the expression on his face completely cold.

　　Zhang Ling, the legitimate son of the then Minister of Punishment and a loyal supporter of the Prince's faction, why is he here?
