Mingmen Family

Chapter 214 Miss Ye is Excellent
But the Ye family is not unknown in Lin'an City, many of the people watching the excitement know the Ye family.

Then someone popularized science with others: "This is the owner of Jixianglou, the residence of the old man who is the head of the tea shop. You know, right? Longjing tea is secretly made by his family."

"Ah?" Someone was surprised, "How is it possible?"

The people next to him didn't know, and said, "Why is it impossible?"

The man lowered his voice and said: "His family is a merchant. Do you know merchants? Scholars, farmers, businessmen, although we are poor people with only a few Susukida, but in terms of status, the Ye family is not as good as us. How could the rich and powerful in Beijing compete with him? Family marriage? Or a fifth-rank official."

As he said that, he looked very puzzled.

Several people next to each other looked at each other, not appreciative.

From their point of view, the Ye family has a great business and is a very wealthy family, and the servants in the family eat better and dress better than them.Whenever they passed the house and saw the well-dressed concierge, they would stay away and follow along the wall, not daring to get too close to avoid being scolded.

Right now, the status of the Ye family is not as high as theirs, so they just hehe.

What's the use of status if you can't even eat enough?Haven't you seen that the nobles in the capital are willing to marry Miss Ye's family, but don't bother to look at them?

Seeing everyone's disapproval, the man hurriedly said: "The young Juren Song Yifeng, do you know? He was originally engaged to Miss Ye's family. Later, he divorced. His mother said at home every day that Miss Ye's family is not good enough for Song Juren. "

The old man in sapphire blue is named Xie Linjiang.At this time, he watched the old master of the Ye family and the second master welcome Master Zhiming in, and he heard the conversation just now.

He turned his head, looked at the man and said, "What Song Juren? You don't know that the Song Juren you're talking about has been confiscated and sent to prison for writing forbidden poems?"

He took a look at the other party: "You think you are noble, so why is no one marrying your family? Why don't you find a nobleman or a fifth-rank official to get married?"

The man's face turned red and white when he said it.

He wanted to retort, but he thought that this person could recognize the costumes of nobles and wives, and also knew that Mrs. Tongzhi's wife had attended a banquet during the Chinese New Year, and her status was either rich or noble, so he immediately shut up.

It's just that he is not happy with his own life, and he feels jealous when he sees others doing well, so he can't help belittle a few words to get comfort in his heart, and use this to elevate himself.But I also know that these words can only be complained in private, and it is not appropriate to spread them.

If the Ye family knew what he said just now, they might target him and make him lose his job.

He muttered something that no one could understand clearly, then turned his head and got into the crowd.

Xie Linjiang saw the betrothal gift team entering one after another, and the last one disappeared at the door.Among the onlookers, the brave one ran to the doorman of Ye's house to ask what was going on, and he quickly squeezed past.

"...This is the master's business. We only care about the gate and don't know anything about it," said the concierge.

"If you don't tell me who's hired, then you should know which girl these people are here to hire?" The man asked again unwillingly.

Those who followed all the way to the door of Ye's house were mostly idlers.They inquired about this, just out of curiosity and gossip, so that they could gain a reputation as "well-informed" when they went to teahouses to chat with people.

"I don't know, I don't know." The concierge waved his hand, turned his head and shouted at everyone, "Thank you for your concern. I will host a wedding in a few days, and everyone will come to drink wedding wine. Let's leave today."

Seeing that the concierge refused to say anything, and the Ye family didn't throw money and candy, everyone talked and broke up.

Xie Linjiang did not go home after leaving, but went to Jixiang Tower.

The old friend Wan Youde was still in the teahouse, and when he saw him, he asked in surprise, "Hey, didn't you say you have something to do and you won't come?"

"Haha, I've dealt with something." Xie Linjiang said with a smile.

"What tea did you order?" he asked again.

"Longjing."

After the weather warmed up, the tea buds came out quickly, and Ye Yaming and Ye Hongsheng taught their apprentices to cook more tea, and it was summer tea, so the price was not so exaggerated.

People from a good family are usually reluctant to buy half a catty, but it is no problem to order a pot with friends in a teahouse.

Xie Linjiang ordered some refreshments, drank the tea, and chatted with Wan Youde, but his ears were pricked up, listening to the people in the teahouse.

Teahouses are news gathering and distributing places, and there are often those who "inquire" and spread the news to the teahouse at the first time.

Sure enough, he soon heard people talking about the appointment just now, and the voice was still familiar.He turned his head and saw that the man who had just been inquiring about the news at Ye's concierge was describing the special features of the betrothal gift with his hands and feet dancing.

The man saw that half of the people on the first floor turned their heads to listen to him, and his voice became louder.Wan Youde naturally heard it too.

Both Wan Youde and Xie Linjiang are wealthy idlers in Lin'an City.The family has fields and shops, and also runs some businesses.The children and grandchildren studied and made progress, and some became officials.At the age of 60 or [-], they can only worry about the future of their children and grandchildren in addition to enjoying their lives.

At this moment, no matter whether it was Xie Linjiang, who had seen the ostentation under his own eyes, or Wan Youde, who had only heard other people's descriptions, he could only feel envy in his heart.

"Hey, the Ye family is blessed. Regardless of other things, the man invited a smart master to hire him, which shows that he attaches great importance to this marriage." Wan Youde said with emotion, "I just don't know how the Ye family formed this marriage." For relatives, it's great, it's great."

Xie Linjiang shook his head: "'If you plant a phoenix tree, you will have a phoenix'. I don't think it's a blessing, or that the Ye family is good, but because the Ye family girl is so good. "

"That's right." A middle-aged man next to him agreed, "Ye's family has a kind heart and makes such good tea as Longjing tea. Even merchants, there are people who are willing to marry with his family. Moreover, I heard that , the girl from the Ye family is very outstanding, she wrote a book called "Tea Banquet", and the way of tea banquet proposed in it is very popular among the literati in the capital."

"Really?" Xie Linjiang was surprised, and cupped his hands at the man, "What's your surname? Are you from the capital?"

The man smiled back and bowed: "Miangui's surname is Zhu, I have just returned from the capital, and I have read the book written by Miss Ye, and I am very impressed."

"Why didn't we see it in Lin'an?" Wan Youde asked in surprise, turned his head and waved towards the counter, and raised his voice, "Master Lin."

Lin Zhensheng raised his head from the account book, seeing that it was Wan Youde, he hurried over and asked, "Master Wan, what's the matter?"

"I heard that your girl wrote a book called "Tea Feast". Many people in the capital know about it. Is it true? How come no one mentions it in Lin'an?"
