Chapter 101
"Master, Mr. Meng is here." Ye Anran was upstairs discussing what kind of tea to buy with the people from the tea house when Qiniang's voice came from downstairs.

"Okay, I got it, I'll come down now." Ye Anran has been busy with the restaurant business recently, and she seems to be in a good mood. Whenever she is in a good mood, she will choose a long dress with bright colors, and purple is just her favorite color. favorite.

Wearing a long purple dress, the neckline and cuffs are still inlaid with sable hair. Ye Anran has a face that can be called charming to all living beings, so no matter what she wears, it is absolutely beautiful.

Walking downstairs, Ye Anran smiled faintly: "Brother Meng, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing?"

"I'm fine, but I've been busy with the business of the bank, so I didn't come to see you. I heard that you invited Qin Fengliu and Miss Qingling to help you out? Business is very good." Meng Zhaoyang was dressed in a green shirt and brocade robe, as gentle and elegant as ever.

"Well, this matter really spread fast enough, even Brother Meng has heard of it?"

"Well, the people in the capital have been talking about this in the past few days. I have to say that you are very capable, An Ran. You have inherited Uncle Ye's business acumen, and the teahouse will definitely prosper." Meng Zhaoyang praised.

"Thank you, brother Meng, please go upstairs quickly, let's have a cup of hot tea together, and it just so happens that you can see Qin Fengliu's piano sound and Miss Qingling's dancing posture." Ye Anran immediately made an invitation.

"Okay, then Meng Mou would be more respectful than obedient." For Meng Zhaoyang, Ye Anran felt very warm, just like the elder brother next door, always caring and taking care of herself.

What's more, Meng Zhaoyang also presented a pair of priceless porcelain vases when the teahouse opened, and she couldn't neglect this old friend who had been with her family for several generations.

In the private room on the second floor
Qin Fengliu played the piano calmly, and Miss Qingling danced, it was an intoxicating scene, but Meng Zhaoyang's eyes seemed to stay on Ye Anran more often.

Always looking at her tenderly from time to time, this makes Ye Anran always feel a little embarrassed.

Suddenly, Meng Zhaoyang said slowly: "An Ran, I came today to say goodbye to you."

"Farewell, where are you going?" Ye Anran did not expect that Meng Zhaoyang's purpose of coming this time was to say goodbye.

"Our Meng family's bank business is now stable in Bianjing, and I have found a suitable person to manage it. Winter is here, and the climate here is not as good as that in the south of the Yangtze River. My parents have written several times to urge me to return to Gusu, so I will go back to Gusu tonight. Then I set off to go back." Meng Zhaoyang said word by word.

"Oh, so I'm going back to Gusu, that's great, when will I come back?" Although Ye Anran didn't know him very well, she still felt a little sad when she heard that her old friend was leaving.

"This has not been decided yet. Even if I want to come back, it will be next spring, so... I want to see you before I leave, and say goodbye to you." Meng Zhaoyang said softly.

"Well, that's fine, why don't I set up a simple practice banquet for you again today, and it won't be in vain for us to get to know each other." Saying that, Ye Anran got up and told Qiniang to ask the cook to prepare the food and drinks.

In the private room, Ye Anran was ready to practice for this old friend, and it would not be in vain for the kindness of the Meng family to her.

Although the Meng family had forgiven her in the matter of retiring the engagement, she still felt ashamed, so every time she faced Meng Zhaoyang, Ye Anran always apologized inexplicably.

"En, that's fine, then I'll be more polite." Hearing that Ye Anran wanted to practice for himself, Meng Zhaoyang was very happy. Maybe he didn't expect that Ye Anran would take himself so seriously.

After the food and drinks were filled, Qin Fengliu and Qing Ling exited the private room properly, and only Meng Zhaoyang and Ye Anran were left in the huge room.

Ye Anran poured a cup of tea and smiled apologetically: "Brother Meng, I don't have good wine quality, so I won't drink with you, so I will replace the wine with tea, toast you this cup, I hope you have a smooth journey back this time."

"Thank you, An Ran." Meng Zhaoyang picked up the wine glass very readily, and poured it all down.

Outside the door, Qin Fengliu said to himself: "Our little proprietress is really beautiful, even the suitors came in large numbers. If I remember correctly, this son should be Meng Zhaoyang, the heir of the Meng family in Gusu. Not bad, it seems that we are still old with our little proprietress."

Qingling rolled his eyes at him and said: "Senior brother, don't tell people nonsense, our little proprietress is not the kind of flirtatious woman, she is probably a family friend with the Meng family in Gusu, think about it with your brain, the Meng family is a four-year-old folk Great God of Wealth, but so is the Ye family of our little proprietress."

Qin Fengliu nodded: "Well, your analysis makes sense. It seems that there is a saying that is correct. You really need to be right in everything. Even making friends depends on your status. Rich people want to be with rich people. People make friends."

Qingling couldn't help kicking Qin Fengliu's ass in anger and scolded: "Please, what are you thinking about all day long, don't think of our little boss lady as powerful? She is a kind woman , Sometimes the guests who come here to drink tea don’t bring enough money, don’t they forget it, why do you sound so awkward.”

Qin Fengliu retorted: "Qingling, it's obvious that you are an idiot, okay? I didn't say this for the little proprietress, but for you. Think about it for yourself. How can people like us who have no family background Compared with those princes and nobles, I advise you to give up your master as soon as possible, your status and master are far apart, you are only the best match for me, we are all master's apprentices, aren't we?"

"Qin Fengliu, die for me, and continue this topic, don't say I will kill you." Qing Ling knew that Qin Fengliu had loved her for many years, but she just didn't like this senior brother, so she was helpless.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, I'm too lazy to talk to you, sometimes you regret it." After leaving these words, Qin Fengliu left.

Qingling also went back to the courtyard to change into her dance clothes...

The two of them are actually not tired at all in this teahouse, because Ye Anran allowed each of them to perform only once a day. After one performance, today will be considered easy, so many dignitaries have queued up to make an appointment a long time ago, for fear that they will not be able to see and appreciate .

Today's performance was nothing more than arranged by Ye Anran for Meng Zhaoyang, so the two of them were naturally at leisure.

private room

Meng Zhaoyang had already drank countless glasses of wine, although Ye Anran wanted to persuade him, but seeing him face him so gently, he didn't know where to start.

Meng Zhaoyang seldom got drunk, but today he had to get drunk, because he was afraid that Ye Anran, who was sober all the time, would lose his composure, so he might as well get himself drunk.

"Brother Meng, don't drink any more, you've already drank a lot, don't you have to go back to Gusu at night?" Ye Anran couldn't help but said.

"Well, let's drink one last glass." After speaking, Meng Zhaoyang picked up the last glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

Immediately, there was a burning sensation in his throat, and then he stood up a little dizzy: "An Ran, thank you for your hospitality, I have to go."

"Well, I'll see you off." Ye Anran followed Meng Zhaoyang slowly down the stairs.

At the entrance of the teahouse, a magnificent carriage was already waiting there. Meng Zhaoyang had at least 30 entourages and servants along the way, which can be described as a great family.

"Brother Meng, be careful on the road." After sending Meng Zhaoyang into the carriage, Ye Anran urged.

Meng Zhaoyang looked at what Ye Anran wanted to say, but he didn't know how to say it, maybe because of the strength of the alcohol, he suddenly grabbed Ye Anran's hand from the window of the carriage.

Then he said seriously: "Anran, remember what I said today, if one day you are tired, you are tired, and you don't want to stay here any longer, then remember to tell me, I will take you out of this place of right and wrong, and live with you The most desired life."

Before Ye Anran could answer, Meng Zhaoyang quickly withdrew his hand, lowered the curtain of the carriage, and ordered: "Let's go."

Seeing the carriage gradually disappearing from his sight, Ye Anran was suddenly moved. It turned out that he was not alone, but someone cared about him. Meng Zhaoyang, thank you, if there is such a day, I will go to find you.

Ye Anran looked at the carriage going away and murmured in his heart...

Not far away, on the second floor of an inn, a man was watching this scene with cold eyes, and then with a big wave of his hand, he knocked over the teacup and teapot on the table, making a ping-pong-pong sound.

"The women in the Ye family are really shameless. Ye Anyao can't forget that talented lover, and Ye Anyao, a bitch, is still flirting with her fiancé, who is married to her fingertips. She's so mean, and she's so flirtatious on the street. The king is disgusting." Nishi Gongjue admitted that he felt extremely uncomfortable after seeing such a scene.

Xiu Lei at the side asked tentatively: "Master, do you want to go down and warn the princess?"

"No need, I don't like a woman like her. She can do whatever she likes, as long as she doesn't spoil my business, don't make me mess up." Said Nishinomiya impatiently.

"Yes." Xiu Lei spit out a word in response.

"By the way, Xiu Lei, Nie Tian has been in the north for a while, so he didn't say how the situation is going there?" Xi Gongjue suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"Old Nie recently sent me a letter from Feige saying that the situation over there is still very chaotic. I hope you don't act rashly. It won't be too late to eliminate it after you get the conclusive evidence."

"Well, well, I have to discuss it with the emperor before making a decision." After speaking, Jue Xigong got up and left.

A few days later, Xi Gongjin and Xi Gongmo, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, appeared in the teahouse and brought an unexpected guest.

"Second sister-in-law, I'll bring you a guest." Nishinomiya Jin said with a smile.

Ye Anran raised her head when she heard the sound, and saw Xi Gongyue in white clothes standing behind Xigong Jin with a cold face. Although Ye Anran didn't like her very much, she still greeted her.

"The moon is here."

"En." Xi Gongyue replied coldly, then turned to Xi Gongjin and said, "This is the interesting thing you said, it's just a teahouse, is it interesting? Boring."

"Hey, Nishi Gongyue, don't be so rude, can you? If the emperor didn't want us to take you out to play, you would think that I would rarely take you with you, so as not to put on a dirty face for me." Nishi Gongjin was as old as Nishi Gongyue, but The birthday is relatively young, so logically he should call Xi Gongyue sister, but he has never called it, not because Xi Gongyue is an adopted daughter, but because she has a weird temper and doesn't get along with most people.

At this moment, Miss Zheng's family behind Xi Gongjin smiled and said, "Princess Wangfei, long time no see."

"Miss Zheng is here too, that's great, please go upstairs and sit down, I'll make tea for everyone." Ye Anran is more hospitable, so friends are always busy when they come.

Instead, Xi Gongmo ignored Xi Gongmo, who smiled and said: "An Ran, I'll go with you, I don't know how to make tea yet, teach me."

"Okay." Ye Anran smiled gently.

When everyone went upstairs, Xi Gongmo followed Ye Anran to the backyard to fetch the best tea. On the way, he couldn't help asking: "Anran, nothing happened recently, right? Are you okay? Are you in a better mood?"

"Well, it's much better. There's nothing serious about it recently. It's just that the prince knows about my teahouse." Ye Anran said lightly.

Xi Gongmo's expression was startled: "What? Second brother, he knows?"
