Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 253 My young master's surname is Shen, and he should be Marquis of Ningbei

Today, I will go to Yejia Cloth Village, the largest cloth village in Yuzhou-Zi Luobu Village.

Yuan Tao and Qingju servant girls packed the boxes and kept busy until noon. The Ye family's carriage was waiting outside the mansion. Seeing Ye Lingwu coming out, the driver immediately got off the horse stool.

Ziluobuzhuang is the biggest source of income for the Ye family, and also the source of all the clothing stores in Yuzhou. It was first opened by Song Yun, and later managed by Ye Huaicheng. It is impossible to grow from a young age without effort .

Today Ye Lingwu went to show the handover, and met some of the stewards of the cloth village on the way.

Ye Lingwu leaned against the carriage window and kept looking out.

The streets and alleys are flakes of white snow.

"Miss, will it be too weak to go with the three of us? Why don't you let Uncle Yu bring a few more servants to go with us?" Yuan Tao frowned slightly, worried.

Qingju echoed: "Yes, big girl, it is said that the managers of Ziluobu Village are very difficult to negotiate, what if they see that the big girl is too young and refuses to obey orders?"

Ye Lingwu put down the curtain, sighed and said: "So what, it's not just a matter of opening your mouth to get someone to be sent to you. I ask you to pack your luggage, that is, if you want to stay there for a long time, at least you need to keep the account books of the cloth village for the past few months. Make it clear, build a good relationship with a few managers, and let them be convinced before leaving."

Yuan Tao and Qing Ju looked at each other, both a little surprised.

They thought that girls from rich families would be spoiled and coquettish, but they didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Ye family would be willing to live in Buzhuang for a long time. It was really not easy.

Before coming to Ziluobu Village, Uncle Yu had already sent someone to inform him in advance, so when the Ye family's carriage arrived, many people stood outside the village to greet him.

The four doors on the front were wide open, and more than a dozen servants in common clothes were waiting on the side. Three stewards in brocade robes lined up in a row, looking very positive.

Yuan Tao and Qingju jumped out of the car first, and stood with their hands folded. Uncle Yu led the four servants and waited aside. Ye Lingwu stepped down on the horse stool slowly, with a steady pace.

All the people who greeted him outside the village were stunned.

A few days ago, it was rumored that Ye Huaicheng handed over the Ye family property to the unfavored eldest daughter. This eldest daughter dared to quarrel with her elders, and even mocked her stepmother in the mourning hall. The most terrifying thing was that she went there The capital then climbed up to the important ministers in the court.

——It’s a difficult character to deal with.

The chief steward was the first to react, and said loudly: "Little Li Zheng, this is Uncle Zheng, the second steward, and Uncle Wang, the third steward. Everyone, please greet the eldest girl. It's freezing cold. The eldest daughter has worked hard all the way. The hot tea is ready, please move, Miss."

Ye Lingwu nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you for your welcome."

Li Zheng replied: "Where, where, big girl please."

The sky was gray and dark, the halls in the village were brightly lit, the tables and chairs were wiped clean, and the utensils were neatly placed.

Ye Lingwu was surrounded and came in, Li Zheng immediately ordered the maid to serve tea, but Ye Lingwu raised her hand and refused: "No need, I want to go into the village to have a look around before the sun goes down."

Li Zheng quickly responded.

A group of people hugged Ye Lingwu and went to Zhuangzi.

The feeling of being served by a lot of people is very subtle. In the past, only Rongxiu was by her side. She was selected into the Ningbei Hou Mansion since she was a child. She is the first-class envoy of Jinghetang. He knows how to behave in the world, and never messes around.

The relationship between Ye Lingwu and her is not a pure master-servant relationship. She has learned a lot from Rongxiu.

Whenever thinking of these things, Ye Lingwu was extremely grateful to Mrs. Shen.

Speaking of Mrs. Shen, she has been away from the capital for less than half a month, and the third day of next month will be the day of Shen Pan'er's big wedding. If she waits a few more days, maybe she can return to Beijing to personally deliver a big gift, but Shen Pan'er didn't care about these things, the dowry given by Shen Zhan was probably no worse than Pei's ten-mile red makeup.

It's just annoying the couple in the second bedroom, they must still be angry.

Half an hour later, I finally finished wandering around the cloth shop. I have seen the three small dyeing workshops in front and back, as well as the warehouse.

The people are all together, without missing arms or legs, and they are enthusiastic when they see a host.

But now Ye Lingwu was puzzled, the manager and the worker were all there, how could he be able to collect the money and still be short of goods from other clothing shops.

At this time, a boy in common clothes stumbled in.

He yelled: "It's not good, it's not good, it's not good!"

Li Guanshi heard the sound, kicked it over and said, "What are you calling, the eldest girl is here."

The young man straightened up immediately and said, "Miss, the three in charge, there are a lot of debt collectors outside."

Li Guanshi said: "Didn't we tell the outside world that we won't deliver goods in the next few months? Who dares to come to Ye's house to find fault!"

"Yes...it's the eighth master of Yuzhou." The servant said tremblingly.

Li Guanshi's expression changed drastically, and he said, "Why is he here?"

Ye Lingwu said: "Boss Li, I saw some cloth in the warehouse just now. Since someone came to ask for the goods, they have reconciled the account and paid the goods. What's the point of taking the money and keeping the goods under pressure?"

Li Zhengwei wondered: "Young lady, I don't know, those warehouses are all...the ones that were given to Zayue last year, just because this purple radish village almost went bankrupt, so it's not impossible for that one to be delivered. , it’s because the goods are not on the right board and cannot be delivered.”

Ye Lingwu frowned, and said, "Then why did the Ziluobu farmer stop working when there were hand tools?"

Li Zhengdao: "We didn't stop work. When the lord was seriously ill, the eldest lady came and said that the lord was not there and no one would take care of it. If there was a problem with the goods, no one could stand up, so we had to wait. Who knows? The first thing to do is to wait for the news of the Lord's death."

Ye Lingwu's face darkened, but she quickly recovered, and said, "Since someone came to ask for the goods, it's not a big deal if they don't give them all the time. The stewards will go out with me and explain."

There were a lot of people standing in the outer hall, Ye Lingwu went in, and saw a burly and sturdy man standing beside his head, who looked like a thug.

The man sitting on the top looked about 40 years old, his appearance was rough, and the hand that fell on the armrest was carelessly coiling two walnuts.He is Yuzhou's well-known eighth master, Wei Fei.

Sitting under him were some familiar clothes shop owners who had met on the day of Ye Huaicheng's funeral.

These people were different from the atmosphere when they met in the mourning hall that day.

It's not like they're here to talk, but they're here to find fault.

Seeing people coming in, Wei Fei didn't rely on his age to support him, he got up and said calmly: "Miss Ye, I have long admired your name."

Ye Lingwu didn't know him, but seeing that everyone around him was very respectful to him, she smiled and said, "I've met Ba Ye."

Wei Fei waved his hand: "Don't be too polite, I've heard about the eldest daughter of the Ye family in the past few days, and I'm very impressed. The Ye family's business will also be handed over to you in the future, and we spend more time dealing with each other. It's better not to care about the red tape, equal communication is what you say, Miss Ye."

When he opened his mouth, he had the glib tone of an old businessman, with a faint air of banditry, oppressive invisibly.

Ye Lingwu didn't answer, but forced a smile and said, "I don't know why Ba Ye suddenly brought so many people to Ziluobu Village today?"

Wei Fei was not annoyed when she saw that she didn't show up, so he sat down heavily and said, "The boss here, Miss Ye, and I have known my father for a long time, and we have a lot of business dealings, so we trust the Ye family quite a bit. Since the deposit was paid at the end of last year, Ziluobuzhuang has not delivered the goods overdue, and we are not in a hurry, but how long has it been? Ziluobuzhuang swallowed the money and refused to deliver the goods, which is not in compliance with the rules, right?"

Knowing that she was wrong, Ye Lingwu said gently: "I just asked a few managers about this matter. A few days ago, my father was seriously ill and the business of the cloth shop was delayed. Please allow half a month. Our Ye family will definitely make up for it. .”

The faces of those present suddenly darkened.

If you wait any longer, you will continue to lose money. It is better to let the Ye family spit out the money and find another cloth shop quickly.

Wei Fei said: "Miss Ye, it's not that I speak badly. The people sitting here are all important businessmen in Yuzhou. Let alone half a month, even if we wait three days, we don't have the heart to waste it. How about this, Miss Ye. The liquidated damages and the deposit were settled together today, how about everyone being happy?"

Ye Lingwu was slightly startled, and after thinking about it, she had no choice but to ask, "How much do you owe?"

Wei Fei had been prepared for a long time, and he opened his mouth: "These eight bosses and I paid a total deposit of 6000 taels, and the penalty for breach of contract is three times the deposit, which is 8000 taels."

Ye Lingwu said: "So many?!"

Wei Fei raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, there are evidences in black and white."

Ye Lingwu's fingers were clenched tightly, and the roots of her teeth were aching, but these people seemed to be unwilling to give up if they didn't give money, especially the dark and burly man beside Wei Fei, who just stood there and screamed. people panic.

——"8000 taels, I'll give it."

Everyone was shocked, looking for the sound, they saw two tall figures coming from the backlight striding into the room.

Ye Lingwu's heart trembled after seeing the person coming.

It is still a black cloak, with fox fur around the collar and cuffs, long black hair tied in a golden crown, eyes narrowed into a line, and the lines of the face are tough and somewhat sinister.

Wei Fei frowned, and said, "I don't know who is here?"

"My young master's surname is Shen, and he should be Marquis of Ningbei." Yue Yang stood there, and instantly compared the dark and burly man in terms of momentum.

"Ning Beihou?!"

"He is Ning Beihou?!"

"how is this possible?!!"

Surprised rustling sounds resounded in the room, and she couldn't take her eyes off Shen Zhan.
