Mingmen Family

Chapter 218

As the saying goes, "There are three catties of iron in a rotten ship." The Bai family has fallen, but the foundation of connections is still there.As long as you have money, it's not difficult to manage your contacts up and down, and it's not difficult to pick up your contacts again.If future generations are well cultivated, it is not impossible to regain their glory.The one who wants to marry Ye Xuewei is still the head of the family.The marriage between the Bai family and the Ye family is beneficial to each other.

But when Ye Xuewei heard that she was going to marry a man in his thirties, and her son was ten years old, she refused to do so.Ye Chongming and Mrs. Ye also felt they had wronged their daughter, so they refused the marriage.

Later, Ye Xuewei married a merchant family who was in the same family as the Ye family, and that family moved to the capital not long after.

Thinking of this, Dow told Nanny Li: "I'll write a letter to my brother, and you send someone to deliver it to him."

This kind of thing, the most discussed is the teahouse.When someone speculates in a bad direction, if someone uses Ye Xuewei's case to refute it, and then guides and guides public opinion, the negative impact can be minimized.

But it's not easy for the Ye family to come forward. Once they are recognized, the backlash will be serious, and the reputation of the Ye family will be completely ruined.It would be no problem for the Tao family to do this.

Nanny Li's son went to Tao's house with the letter, and it didn't take long for Zan'er to report the matter to Ye Yaming.

He sincerely praised: "Girl, everything is as you expected."

Bairui and Lue also looked at Ye Yaming with admiration.

"You can't rely entirely on the Tao family, we still have to work hard here. You pick out a few idlers in the city and let them go to the teahouse to cooperate with the Tao family." Ye Yaming ordered.

The marriage between her and Lu Guanyi cannot be settled quietly, otherwise it will lose its meaning; but it cannot be said to be engaged to Lu Guanyi, lest it attract the black hand of the Duke of Wei.

But such things, the more secretive they are, the more people will speculate. At that time, bad public opinion will be raging, and the reputation that the Ye family has painstakingly maintained for generations will be ruined.

At that time, she asked Zan'er to make people stare at Tao Shi.

She knew that at the time of Ye Yaqing's engagement, Dow cared more about the Ye family's reputation than she did.It is much better for the Tao family to come forward to clarify this matter than for her to invite a few idlers to the teahouse to guide public opinion.

Sure enough, on the second day, Zan'er collected news, saying that there was a lot of discussion about the Ye family's marriage, and everyone was curious about who the next hire was, and they just waited for news from the Ye family.As a result, the Ye family was vague, and some people began to maliciously speculate, making the Ye family very embarrassing.

Fortunately, the Tao family was also very supportive. They sent some elders from the branch of the Tao family to sit in the teahouse, and with the cooperation of idlers invited by Ye Yaming, the reputation of the Ye family has always been excellent, which immediately turned the public opinion around.

In the end, the people who eat melons came to the conclusion that the Ye family is low-key and has high morals, and they are unwilling to use this marriage to elevate themselves, which is admirable.

In Jixiang Building, Xie Linjiang was still sitting in the old place, drinking tea and eating snacks face to face with his old friend Wan Youde.

He asked Wan Youde: "What do you think about the Ye family?"

Wan Youde looked at his old friend in surprise: "Didn't I just say that? I don't believe that the old man of the Ye family would use his granddaughter to climb the dragon and become the phoenix."

During the argument just now, he also intervened.

"It's natural to say that in public." Xie Linjiang said.

This is Jixianglou. As old tea drinkers, although they don't have a deep friendship with Ye Chongming, they are old acquaintances who can't see up and down. This bit of face should be given to the Ye family.

"I'm asking about your true thoughts."

Wan Youde was even more surprised.

This old friend of his is a modest gentleman, he is upright and never harbors malice towards others.

As for the matter of the Ye family, to put it bluntly, it has nothing to do with them, and it should be used as a topic of conversation when everyone is chatting.As for the real situation, they don't really care.

Now that the old friend is so inquisitive, does he have any ideas?
With that in mind, he asked the question.

Xie Linjiang didn't hide it from him: "You also know that my little grandson doesn't like reading, but loves doing business."

Saying that, he sighed.

His little grandson Xie Guizhou is 17 years old, and his grades in school have always been poor, let alone a scholar, the husband said that he didn't even need to take the exam when he was a child.That kid is actually quite smart, for some reason, his interest is not in studying.

Only later did they find out that they had started a business with the lucky money they had saved over the years, and the business was quite prosperous.This kid is so focused on that, how can he calm down and study?
After all, their Xie family is a scholarly family, how can they make a living as a merchant?He and his son fought and scolded, and Xie Guizhou simply had a showdown with them, saying that he didn't want to study anymore and wanted to do business.Which family has no one to take care of general affairs, why can't he?There was a lot of noise at home.

Wan Youde also knew about the Xie family.

He raised his eyes, quietly waiting for Xie Linjiang's next words.

"We definitely won't let him become a merchant, but we can marry him a daughter-in-law who was born as a merchant, so that his daughter-in-law can bear the name of a merchant."

Wan Youde's heart moved: "Could it be that you have taken a fancy to the girl from the Ye family?"

Xie Linjiang nodded: "Everyone says 'being rich is not benevolent'. When it comes to merchants, only the Ye family makes me admire them. They are not mercenary, they act morally, and they are a family of kindness and benevolence. But I also hesitate, worrying about others Speaking of the dowry of a girl from Xie Jiatu’s Ye family, I’m also afraid that my grandson will be laughed at and say that he married a lowly merchant’s girl.”

When he said that, Wan Youde understood.

He nodded and said: "Now that the Ye family is married to an honorable fifth-rank official, the family status has been raised a lot. Being a brother-in-law of an honorable fifth-rank official is completely different from being a brother-in-law of a merchant in terms of reputation. "

Xie Linjiang nodded: "That's the reason. The only thing I'm worried about now is that they are hiding this marriage, and I'm afraid there is something shady about it."

It's hard for Wan Youde to answer.

If he said that the Ye family is fine, if there is a problem, wouldn't the old friend blame him?If he said there was a problem, but it turned out that there was no problem with him, and the old friend missed a good relationship, then he would be to blame.

To put it bluntly, this matter has nothing to do with him, why should he talk so much for himself?

He said: "Why don't you send someone to inquire about it? If you are close to any relative of his family, ask him to inquire about it. If there is no problem at that time, it would be better to ask him to be a matchmaker directly."

Xie Linjiang was enlightened immediately, and said again and again: "Yes, what you said is true. I was the one who got into a dead end and was confused."

Wan Youde laughed "haha", picked up the teacup as if to bump a cup with Xie Linjiang: "Then I wish you to find a good marriage for your grandson in advance."

Two days later, Tao's sister-in-law, Feng, went to Ye's house and told Tao about Xie's inquiry about Ye Yaming's marriage.
