In the study, a faint scent of sandalwood permeated the air.
At this moment, Ye Zifan was receiving a middle-aged man, but it was Ye Xueshu who said, "This is the situation of three pine wood yards and charcoal kilns this year
Ye Zifan squinted his eyes, took the document and slowly looked at it. In this world, there is not much discrimination against business, and many families control a certain amount of business except for traditional farmhouses.
Although the pine plantation and charcoal kiln are not a big source of wealth, they have accumulated a considerable amount. While watching, Ye Xueshu listened to his report. After finishing speaking, Ye Xueshu glanced at Ye Zifan with a slightly uneasy expression and felt relieved.
These businesses are managed by Ye Xueshu, who earned 7400 taels of silver in a year. In managing these businesses, he has his own profits and cannot be considered a cash cow, but he cannot be underestimated.
After reading it, Ye Zifan asked calmly, "Did Liu Ji and Meng Ping join forces
Yes, Liu Ji's charcoal kiln and Meng Ping's donkey and horse shop have joined forces, which has a certain impact on the price of charcoal in the county
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Zifan interrupted and asked, "What are you planning to do next
Ye Xueshu looked at Ye Zifan in surprise. In his impression, Ye Zifan could also be considered to have good management skills. Such interruptions were rare. With a sense of unease, Ye Xueshu replied, "Although the Liu family is not as influential as our Ye family, it is still somewhat influential. It is difficult to remove it by other means, or we can negotiate and jointly control the carbon price
Ye Zifan waved his hand and said, "Then you can handle it yourself and report back to me afterwards
With a surprised look in Ye Xueshu's eyes, Ye Zifan asked him to leave. Seeing him leave, Ye Zifan got up and went to the small hall.
As noon approached, Ye Gu was busy. When her husband came in, she immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare.
Just a moment later, the dishes were served. Ye Gu's family saw that Ye Zifan was a bit upset. They took a spoon to ladle soup for Ye Zifan, and took a wine pot to pour wine.
Husband, how is Sheng'er's situation
After listening to his wife's question, Ye Zifan's heart sank. He put down his chopsticks and pondered for a long time before saying, "As soon as Sheng'er came back, I asked him to rewrite the paper and show me - the situation is not very good
As soon as these words fell, Ye Gushi felt a twinge of emotion and looked eagerly at her husband.
Sheng'er is my son, and I know him very well. To be honest, Sheng'er's articles cannot be said to be bad or good. He always hovers around the acceptable line. If he is lucky, he will win, but if he is unlucky, he will fail
Besides, even if it can pass, it's difficult to choose two at a time within the clan in order to balance. Actually, there were four people who registered this time, but only one was able to get through. In this matter, I have personal intentions, so it may not be possible. It's really hard to say
After hearing these words, Ye Gushi looked up and choked up, "Sheng'er is not young anymore. If she doesn't win this time, what will happen in the future
What else can we do? We can only learn from Min'er, buy some land and manage some business
Seeing Ye Gu shed tears, she comforted him and said, "Anyway, Jing'er has become a child, and we finally have some hope
Ye Zifan has three sons. The eldest son, Jing Zhong, became a child, while the second son, Min, failed in his studies and had already given up hope. The third son chose this opportunity.
Although listening to her husband's comfort, Ye Gu couldn't help but shed tears and said, "Husband, this is Sheng'er's lifelong affair. If he can't be a child, he will be demoted from this house in the future
The clan rules are like this, and there's nothing we can do about it. How can everything go smoothly! "Ye Zifan sighed in his heart for some reason, feeling a bit uncertain this time, but he couldn't say that to his wife. Just as he was feeling melancholic, Ye Gu choked up and said," It's not that I'm jealous and stingy. My nephew is only fifteen years old. Didn't you say he's tall and has plenty of opportunities? Why do you insist on taking my Sheng'er's chance
Ye Zifan was speechless, put down his chopsticks, got up and went to the front of the hall. When he looked at the sky, he didn't know when it was cloudy. Large clouds moved by, and there was a light rain falling. Ye Zifan stood in front of the steps, lost in thought.
Just then, a person came over with a gust of wind and saw Ye Zifan lost in thought. He whispered, "Sir, sir
Mmm, mmm! "Ye Zifan's body trembled before he woke up and asked," What's the matter
Mr. Hui is discussing matters in the side hall
Oh, why didn't you say earlier? I'll go now. "Ye Zifan hurriedly rushed over and arrived at the side hall, only to see Ye Hui. Ye Zifan smiled and said," Brother Wu, why are you here
There's something I can't decide, I'd like to ask you to take a look. "Although they are peers and older, their branches are different. This fifth brother is polite, so of course, Ye Hui can't just grow up like this. He quickly stood up and bowed.
What's the need for Brother Wu to come at this moment? "Ye Zifan said with a smile.
It's about Ye Qing
At this moment, a gust of wind swept by, causing the window paper to swell and sink, and the autumn rain rustled and fell, making a loud noise. To be honest, Ye Zifan felt a little tired when he heard this sentence. He calmed down, swallowed his saliva, and helplessly smiled: "The murder incident has been covered up by the clan, and Tongzi has also taken the exam. Now that he's not waiting for the news of the opening, what's the matter
Ye Hui was so mature that he immediately knew that no matter how magnanimous Ye Zifan was, after these few things, he couldn't help but feel disgusted with Ye Qing. He sighed inwardly: although it was vaguely that person in his eyes, it was never the same anymore. Human emotions exist when people live, but when people die, there is nothing left.
Anyway, even if we repay Ye Qing's father's kindness this time.
At present, he calmly and fairly explained the situation one by one: "Qing'er is young and energetic, and her actions are a bit out of bounds, but those families who have children are also too out of bounds. They don't even have seven days of rice left at home, and they are still in a difficult situation. No wonder Qing'er talks about selling land
Ye Zifan was speechless when it started raining heavily outside, rustling against the eaves with a dull expression. After some time, Ye Zifan let out a sigh and said, "Qing'er, it's really reckless... This field is under his name, but it's also related to the clan. He sold the land, what do he want? To leave the clan
At this point, there was a hint of anger hidden in his voice: "Everyone is learning from him. If they have suffered some grievances, they will break the jar and smash it. What about us Ye tribe? Have we all disbanded
Speaking of which, he felt a little angry. After taking a few steps, Ye Zifan looked at Ye Hui and said, "Fifth Brother, I also want to say that Qing'er is young and immature. Why did you also participate
Speaking of which, Ye Zifan even felt a little disheartened.
It's not me involved, the matter must be resolved, right? "Ye Hui also smiled bitterly.
Ye Zifan stopped in his tracks, thought for a moment, took out a piece of paper, and quickly wrote some words before saying, "This is nonsense. I want to scold him. Selling the land is not allowed, but it is indeed difficult. Let's mortgage ten acres of land for 150 taels of silver. This 150 taels, plus the previous month's regulations, is enough for him to study with peace of mind. He doesn't have the right to dispose of the remaining 90 acres yet. If he really wants to sell them, we'll wait until he decorates
Also, whether he wins or not this time, let him focus on studying and take care of himself. This is my final advice as an uncle
At this point, Ye Zifan's voice carried a hint of awe, indicating a loss of patience.
Ye Hui gave a bitter smile and felt that Ye Qing was a bit excessive, but without saying much, he took the note and said goodbye.
Ye Hui went to the accounting room and didn't sit down. He said, "These are the notes. You can enter them into the account, so don't refuse. I'll take the silver now
The accountant looked at it and said, "Mr. Hui has come in person. How dare I refuse? I'll do it myself
As he spoke, he instructed the servant to move out.
This servant must have heard about Ye Qing's situation and felt a little unhappy. Although he was ordered to move out the ingot, he only placed it heavily on the table.
A gold ingot even rolled around on the table, Ye Hui smiled bitterly and took it.
This is official silver, standard fine wire silver, one small ingot of five taels of silver, one hundred and fifty taels is thirty, exactly three seals.
Ye Hui spoke for a while, took the silver, sent someone to pick it, and headed towards Ye Qing's courtyard.
Ye Hui came in and just turned the corner of the alley, he heard a faint voice ahead. As he passed, he saw a woman speaking loudly and a maid angrily cursing.
After listening to a few words, Ye Hui immediately understood. His facial muscles twitched twice. This woman was actually Wu Tiezi's wife. At this moment, she came knocking on the door and started cursing. And this maid, who was from Ye Qing's room, remembered to be called Qianqian. How could she resist this? She was forced to retreat repeatedly, but still refused to open the door.
Ye Hui immediately went up and isolated the two women. His power intimidated the women, but in the blink of an eye, the woman started crying again, rolling and cursing on the ground: "Qingtian, look, my man is already dead, and he still bullies our widow children. Qingtian, just let out a thunderbolt and kill me and them together
After hearing this, Ye Hui's face turned pale and his eyes were filled with anger. He spoke sternly, "Shut up, your man has been involved in an accident outside, and he has a martyr's compensation. What else do you want? Curse the Ye clan, you can't bear it. Don't bring trouble out of your mouth, let's really bury him together
Calm down and restrain your anger, "Why don't you help her back
At this moment, only a few servants who were watching the excitement went up and pulled them away. Seeing them crying and shouting all the way away, Ye Hui's anger dissipated and he showed a helpless expression.
Despite having the status of a master servant, in real life, one is still a human being. This involves a matter of human nature that cannot be dealt with simply and rudely. In my heart, I felt that Ye Qing had indeed gone too far, sighed, and entered the courtyard.
At this moment, Ye Qing welcomed him over. Ye Hui looked closely and saw that the room was relatively tidy, but there were not many decorations left. Ye Hui went to lift the rice jar and looked inside. He really saw the bottom, only a thin layer was left inside.
Ye Hui had a relationship with Ye Qing's father back then and admired his talent. He thought that at least one successful candidate would emerge from the clan, but he never expected to pass away at a young age.
Although Ye Qing's reaction was a bit extreme, his family was in such a difficult situation. After thinking about it, he had nothing to say and sighed, "I didn't expect it to reach this point. However, you are not someone who has been poor for a long time. You cannot do extreme things just because you are trapped
Speaking of which, he carried back the silver, returned most of the land deed, and explained the matter one by one. Finally, he spoke earnestly, "Young nephew, you must never do this again in the future. This will cut off the road
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly. If it weren't for the impending disaster, how could she have been so eager for quick success and instant benefits?
But this cannot be said, only Lianlian should be.
