The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 9
Ye Fu
Ye Anran was painting in the study today, when the door was pushed open suddenly, Xiao Rong hurried over: "Quick, Second Miss."

"What's wrong? Xiao Rong, why are you in such a panic?" Ye Anran put down the paintbrush in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Second Miss, go to the front hall quickly, the master is back." Xiao Rong was out of breath, and finally managed to speak clearly.

"Ah? It's great that my father is back." After speaking, Ye Anran walked quickly to the front hall with a smile. Her father has been away for several months because of running the tea business all the year round, so when he heard her father came back, Ye Anran had an unconcealable joy on his face.

When he arrived at the front hall, he found that his sister had already arrived and was talking to his father, so Ye Anran walked over and called obediently: "Dad."

Ye Tong turned around and immediately smiled kindly: "An Ran is here, come quickly, Dad brought you a gift this time, look, do you like this guqin?"

Ye Tong immediately took a guqin from the side and handed it to his daughter, Ye Anran's eyes lit up: "It's really a good piano, thank you dad."

At this moment, Ye Anyao interjected: "An Ran, father knows us too well, he knows that you are a model lady, so he gave you Guqin, and he knows that I love beauty, so he gave me pearl flowers."

At this time, Mrs. Ye came back: "Master, it's rare for you to come back, don't worry about talking to the children, go and change clothes and prepare to have lunch together."

Ye Tong nodded, stood up and said, "Yes, I've been busy all this way, so it's time for me to change and wash my clothes."

At this moment, the housekeeper suddenly came to report: "My lord, the magistrate is here to visit."

"En? Why did Lin Baoping come to see me?" Ye Tong was also a little puzzled.

"Father, that big corrupt official won't come to ask you to pay money to sponsor this one or that one again, right?" Ye Anyao guessed dissatisfiedly.

"Probably not, didn't I just donate 5 taels of silver to repair the city wall three months ago, wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to say so?" Ye Tong vetoed the elder daughter's words.

At this time, Prefect Lin had already walked in. His bloated figure looked out of place with his official uniform. As soon as he entered the door, he arched his hands and smiled, "Master Ye, how are you doing?"

Ye Tong naturally responded with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Zhifu, the grass people are all well."

"Oh, Master Ye, you are a very busy person. I heard that this time you went to the Imperial City to do business. How is it going well?" Governor Lin asked politely.

Ye Tong nodded: "Well, thanks to the magistrate, everything is going well, Xiaorong, go pour tea."

"Yes, master." Although Xiao Rong didn't really want this fat headed magistrate Lin very much, but because he couldn't violate the master's wishes, he obediently went to serve tea.

"Father, then my sister and I will leave first." Ye Anyao had always disliked this corrupt official, so she bowed her body and dragged her sister away.

But he was stopped by the magistrate: "Wait a minute, two ladies, may I ask, which one is Miss Ye?"

Ye Anran was taken aback for a moment, he never thought that the prefect Lin would ask such a question, so he said softly: "Lord prefect, the little girl is Ye Anran."

At this time, Governor Lin looked up at Ye Anran, then smiled and said: "Haha, okay, okay, it really is a stunning figure, no wonder my son is so obsessed with it."

"This...?" Hearing Zhifu Lin's words, Master Ye was in a dilemma immediately. Isn't this clearly a plan to hit his daughter?

Ye Anyao stopped calling once she heard the anger: "Master Lin, I think you misunderstood? My second sister is married to someone else, what does it have to do with your son?"

"Oh, it's fate. After my son Lin Jingtao met the second lady at the tea shop that day, he didn't want to go back to tea and didn't think about food. Didn't he send me to propose marriage? I thought to myself, although your Ye family is rich and powerful, But our Lin family is not a small family, is it? So Master Ye, look at this...?" Zhifu Lin obviously thought things too simply, he doted on his son, so no matter what his son wanted, he would try his best to achieve it Purpose.

And he himself has his own ideas, marrying the Ye family is what he wished for. Who in Yangzhou City does not know that the Ye family is the folk God of Wealth, and Mr. Ye has no children, only two daughters, once his son marries The Ye family's daughter, the Ye family's property that will be divided in the future is just around the corner.

Unexpectedly, Ye Tong, who usually seems to be very talkative, turned down his face this time, and he said slowly: "Master Zhifu, it's not that I, Ye, don't sell your face, it's because my daughter already has a betrothed family. Don't regret the marriage."

"Oh? I don't know which family the second lady betrothed to? Who else in Yangzhou can compare with our Lin family?" Prefect Lin said arrogantly. He is just confident that there is no second more powerful person in Yangzhou besides their Lin family. The family came to contend with him.

Ye Tong replied slowly: "Your Majesty's guess is wrong, my second daughter's betrothed family is not in Yangzhou."

"Oh? It's not from Yangzhou. Could it be that it's from the countryside? It's a pity that Second Miss is such a good woman?" Lin Baoping said with a pretentious sigh.

Ye Tong shook his head and said word by word: "My daughter's betrothed family is the Meng family in Gusu."

"What? The Meng family?" Lin Baoping was dumbfounded now. Who doesn't know that the Meng family in Gusu is the same as the Ye family, the gods of wealth among the people. I heard that they have been doing money business and have a huge family fortune. Moreover, the Meng family also has relatives who are high-ranking officials in the imperial city. So this time, he lost all his arrogance immediately, like a deflated eggplant.

"Well, it's the Meng family, so if we regret the marriage, it's not easy to explain to the Meng family, right?" Master Ye said politely.

Lin Baoping nodded frequently: "Yes, what Master Ye said is true, but the second lady betrothed to someone else, so the eldest lady...?"

He didn't give up, and set his mind on Ye Anyao. It seemed that he wanted to be in-laws with Ye's family.

"You don't have to worry about me, my fiancé-in-law is from the Wang family in Luoyang." Ye Anyao said proudly, she figured it out, she should frustrate people like Zhifu Lin.

Upon hearing about the Wang family, Zhifu Lin's expression changed: "The Wang family? It's the Luoyang Wang family?"

"Yes, my fiancé is Prince Wang, the younger brother of the emperor's favorite concubine, Wang Guifei, what? Does your lord have better candidates to introduce to the daughter of the people?" Ye Anyao made up her mind to make things difficult for this corrupt official.

Prefect Lin waved his hands again and again: "No, no, no, Mr. Wang and Ms. Ye are a good match. That... I have something to do, so I won't bother you. I'll visit you another day."

"Okay." Master Ye got up and bid farewell politely.

After Lin Zhifu left, Ye Anyao laughed loudly: "Father, did you see him like that, he left with his tail between his legs, hum, he still wants to be in-laws with our Ye family, and he doesn't want to see what his bastard son is like."

"An Yao, don't be rude. You are a woman, so you should be careful with your words and deeds." Master Ye was a little displeased.

Ye Anyao immediately shut her mouth, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, Daddy."

After Master Ye sighed, he turned around and ordered the housekeeper: "Old Tian, ​​you go and send letters to the Wang family in Luoyang and the Meng family in Gusu, asking them to send people to discuss the marriage. This matter should not be delayed. Don't worry if you do it early. I'm afraid it will drag on. The magistrate will come to make trouble."

Mrs. Ye also nodded and agreed: "What the master said is that the daughter is old enough to get married."

Hearing this, Ye Anyao and Ye Anran's expressions changed drastically. They didn't expect that the prefect Lin's disturbance would speed up their marriage, but they... all have their own lovers.
