Mingmen Family

Chapter 248
"Okay, let's put this aside for now, let's see how the prefect Qi reacts. If there is no other news, I will accompany you to the teahouse tomorrow morning and meet them for a while."

Ye Yaming said to Ye Chongming, and then told Zan'er: "You find a way to inquire about the origin of the third concubine who is about to get married."

"Yes." Seeing Ye Yaming waving, Zan'er bid farewell and left.

Zan'er collected information, and Ye Yaming asked him to report to her the information he saw and heard very objectively, without any subjective judgment from him.

Now that she has come to her own conclusion, she doesn't plan to tell Zan'er so as not to affect him.

So after Zan'er left, she said to Ye Chongming in a low voice: "Grandfather, this matter seems to be very complicated. On the surface, Xiao Li looks like a member of the third prince's house, but he is probably the second prince or someone else." The purpose of the prince and prince's people is to test us under the banner of the third prince."

"If we express our willingness to cooperate, it means that we don't have a master, and his real master will take us into his pocket. Such a big piece of fat meat, don't taste too good."

"If we directly present the prince and tell them not to mess with me, I have the prince as the backing, then they have nothing to lose, and we have figured out the relationship between us and the prince. As for what the plan is after that, we can't see through it gone."

Speaking of this, she shook her head and sighed: "It seems that the third prince really has no backing and ability. He made it clear that he is not afraid of offending him at all, so he acted so blatantly under his banner."

"That little Lizi dares to do this, there must be someone behind him to protect him. The third prince knows that others use him as a wooden warehouse envoy, so he can't do anything to Xiao Lizi. In the end, he can only swallow this breath aggrieved."

Speaking of this, she looked at Ye Chongming fixedly, and said every word, although the tone was light, but the tone was extremely heavy: "If we hadn't cooperated with Lu Qi and there was no prince behind us, what do you think we would be?" What's the end? Who will respect us like Lu and Qi? And who will be as high and powerful as the prince, and everyone except the emperor should be afraid?"

"In the end, I was swallowed by people, and there were no bones left. There was Meng Chengwei before, and this person who didn't know who was behind. Unless we are as unknown as Mr. Jin and Wang Kuan. But then, how can we honor our ancestors and tribute tea? , How can the name of the imperial merchant fall on us?"

Ye Chongming's pupils shrank, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Half of this cold sweat is because of what Ye Yaming said, and half is because of her sharp eyes and words that point to people's hearts.

When Xiao Lizi stood in front of him and uttered the words "Third Prince", when he panicked, he really felt a bit of resentment and regret.He blamed Ye Yaming, and regretted that he had followed her advice and expanded his business, which caused disaster.

Later, Ye Yaming came back and analyzed the situation for him. When he said that the troubles were not serious, he also felt irritated. He felt that if he hadn't expanded his business in the first place, these troubles would not have come to him. Have a quiet day?
But these negative emotions were only for a moment, and they were quickly suppressed by him.

There is no regret medicine in the world.The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to regret it.Instead of blaming Ye Yaming, making her unhappy, and making things go to the worst, it is better to suppress the emotions in my heart, face it positively, and work hard to solve the problem.

But such a little emotion was captured by Ye Yaming.She also pointed it out directly in front of him.

At this time, Ye Chongming felt fortunate to think of the meaning of Ye Yaming's words, and fortunate that he had found two good partners after listening to Ye Yaming's words; he was also ashamed that his guilty conscience and dark psychology were exposed by others .

Ye Yaming naturally saw the change of Ye Chongming's mood from his micro-expression.

She didn't give him too many opportunities to ferment her emotions, and continued: "Grandfather, I said this to tell you that when Meng Chengwei was following us, we had no way to retreat, we could only go forward. We can only go forward Only by walking high and standing at a height that others cannot reach, can we have the ability to compete with others, and even have the ability to negotiate with the imperial court and the imperial power."

"And we have done it now. Whoever comes, we have the tribute tea Longjing and the black tea that is about to cooperate with the imperial court. You don't have to regret it, let alone be afraid. Let me tell you, just It is the crown prince, it is impossible to take us into his pocket and become his private property. Because we are in the eyes of the emperor and the court."

The guilt and embarrassment in Ye Chongming's heart completely dissipated in Ye Yaming's words, and then replaced by excitement, excitement and steadfastness.

"Really? Can we really be afraid of no one?" he asked.

Ye Yaming nodded: "There will naturally be a lot of trouble. After all, there are self-righteous idiots everywhere, who can't see the situation clearly and want to play our ideas. But when our black tea confirms cooperation with the court, this kind of trouble is basically It's gone. So you don't have to worry, I promise you it will be fine."

"Okay, okay." Ye Chongming was more ashamed than happy at this moment.

He was ashamed of the little bit of resentment he had ever had.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Does the prefect of Qi know what you said? He won't make mistakes, right?"

Ye Yaming just laughed: "Don't worry, people in the officialdom can't see through this at all. How can he climb up? If you really can't see through, it's not bad to just stay on the fourth rank. We are a merchant, there is no need to go Worry about a fourth rank official."

Ye Chongming also thought about it: Which one of the officials is not a human being?

"Then let's wait for the news from the prefect of Qi, and then decide how to reply tomorrow?" He asked.

"Correct."

Ye Yaming rubbed his growling stomach: "Okay, it's getting late, I'm going back to have lunch, grandfather, you should eat quickly too. No matter how anxious Qi Zhifu is, it's not good to disturb others at noon, And those people still have to go out to purchase. I'm afraid the news from Young Master Qi will not be delivered until evening. You can take a rest after lunch. "

She came back on a fast horse after hearing a report from someone, and it was only noon at that time.But looking at Ye Chongming and the others' situation, they probably got too worried and didn't have lunch at all.

Ye Yaming's metabolism is fast, and he is already so hungry that his chest sticks to his back.She just wants to go back to her courtyard and eat meals that suit her taste.

Ye Chongming felt relieved after hearing this.

He also knew that when his granddaughter ate with them, they would always take care of their tastes, and even in her portion from the kitchen, the tastes would be biased toward them.

He waved his hand: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't starve."
