Rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 198

Chapter 198

On the third day of October, the boat arrived in the capital.Ye Muxi bid farewell to everyone, and entered the city with Ye Qingyao.

In her previous life, she had stayed in the capital for four years, so she was very familiar with it, so she didn't need someone to lead the way.Xiao Ziyao returned to the uncle's mansion, Nan Gonglin returned to Jing'an Hou's mansion, and Liu Dongling went to the academy to report.

Chaohuang Academy has a dormitory for girls who have no place to live in the capital. Of course, the environment is not good, and there are very few people living there.

After all, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc. need to spend money to grind, and most people can't afford to support a lady, and Ye Fu is at the bottom of Chaohuang Academy.Those who can be selected are not the women of officials of the fifth rank or above, and most of their parents are ministers of the third rank or above.

How could there be no place to live.

There are very few people like Liu Dongling who are like a drop in the ocean.And it's impossible for her to be as knowledgeable as Ling Xuan'er, and her canonized sixth grade is just enough to be selected.

Originally, Ye Muxi should also go to the academy dormitory, but the Ye family still has relatives in the capital.

The late Mrs. Ye also had a brother and a sister.The elder sister was the one who married the relatives of the emperor back then. The two elders of the Ye family were both admitted to Jinshi and became officials in the court, and there was a sister to help.

There are people in the royal family who are good at handling things, and both of them are prosperous in official career, but there are differences in their official careers.Mrs. Ye has been released to the outside world, step by step, he has been promoted to the chief minister of the south of the Yangtze River, and is a second-rank senior official.

And Mrs. Ye's elder brother stayed in the capital and started from the Hanlin Academy, and was promoted step by step.Because the two brothers were not in the same place all the time, and both started their own families, they became two Ye families.

Ye Family in Beijing, Ye Family in Jiangnan.

Later, the husband's family of Mrs. Ye's sister lost power, and the Ye family in Jiangnan fell. The elder brother of Mrs. Ye got a firm foothold in the turmoil because of her marriage with the nobles in the capital.

Many years have passed since my grandfather, my great-grandfather and my aunt have also passed away for many years. Mrs. Ye worked hard to maintain the relationship with the two families, and went to the capital every year to pick out good things to send.

The two families in the capital occasionally gave some back, but their attitude was high.

The Ye family's ancestral grave is in Jiangzhou, but they never came back to worship their ancestors.Relatives, it may be said, exist in name only.

It is actually very simple to continue this relationship.

After my father returned to the capital after Fenghou in the previous life, the Ye family in the capital rushed to get in touch.But now...

Ye Muxi has a deep understanding of the grandfather's family in Beijing.With their nature of hating the poor and loving the rich, it is strange that they can look up to their own sisters.

"Sister-in-law, are we really going to go to Grandpa's house?" Ye Qingyao stood at the door of Ye's mansion, a little afraid to go in, and said awkwardly, "Although grandma sends things to Ye's house in the capital every year, after all, we haven't seen each other for many years. Just come to the door like this..."

Grandpa has passed away, and now the head of the Ye family is his son Ye Lingbo, an official to the Minister of Rites, and is the second rank.His wife is the prime minister's daughter.

Compared with the dilapidated Ye family in Jiangzhou, this is a family of officials.

Counting relatives, Ye Muxi's father wanted to call Ye Lingbo a cousin.

Ye Muxi said, "Grandmother explained it like this. Moreover, in order to be selected into Chaohuang Academy, grandma told my grandfather's family as early as last year that we would choose to come to Ye's house in the future. Grandpa's family also agreed a long time ago. Now, since it's settled, how can there be any reason not to go?"

With that said, Ye Muxi handed the letter of worship to Wan Qiu, and gave her another ingot of silver.

This was specially written by my grandmother, and asked them to bring it to meet Master Ye.

For the sake of money, the concierge quickly took the letter and went in to report.However, after a long time, no one came back. After waiting for about half an hour, a woman in charge came out, looked at Sister Ye Muxi, and said condescendingly:

"Are you from the Ye family in Jiangzhou?"

Ye Muxi said, "Exactly. We are ordered by our grandmother to visit our uncle and aunt."

"Our master and wife are busy and have no time to see you. Come with me." The woman in charge said arrogantly, "Master and wife take pity on you and take you in. Hey, there are so many poor relatives who come to our door these days. All kinds of cats and dogs are crowding towards our Shangshu Mansion."

Ye Qingyao's expression changed, but when she saw Ye Muxi next to her calm and composed, she suppressed her unhappiness.Instead of entering the main entrance of Ye Mansion, he walked around to a remote courtyard, which was even more dilapidated than Xiaoxiang Garden in Ye Mansion.

Overgrown grass, broken walls and ruins, I don't know how many years it has been vacant, and when the courtyard door is opened, there is a heavy musty smell.

More than half of the dilapidated walls of the main hall collapsed, and there was no way to live in it. There were only two rooms in the south wing that were covered in cobweb dust.

The woman in charge said with a magnanimous look, "Don't say that our master and wife treat you badly, but I will live in a separate courtyard for you, it will be in disrepair for a long time, you can clean and live by yourself."

"You guys are too bullying, just this poor place..." Ye Qingyao couldn't bear it anymore, this place is not as good as Ye's woodshed.

They can't help but go to the inn.

Ye Muxi shook her head at her, "Qing Yao."

Ye Qingyao endured the second half of the sentence.

The woman in charge snorted coldly, "Two bumpkins from Jiangzhou. You think the capital is Jiangzhou? Do you know how much it costs to buy such a big yard in the capital? You can't even afford it if you sell it. Look For the sake of the Ye family, it is not too expensive, 5000 taels of silver a year, pay."

"What? It's just this place, and you still charge money?" Ye Qingyao exploded.

Ye Muxi's expression remained the same, she stared at the woman and said coldly, "Is this what uncle and aunt mean?"

"That's what the master meant. Why, you don't want to give money? Get out if you don't want to!" The woman in charge blackmailed directly.

Ye Muxi said lightly, "Wan Qiu, you go out now, find beggars on the street, give them ten taels of silver, and let them beg and yell on the street. The content of the yelling is also simple, just one sentence, the Minister of Rites lent the yard to Relatives live here and receive 5000 taels of silver a year. Go there immediately, and within a day, everyone in the streets and alleys of the capital will know this saying.”

"Yes." Wan Qiu raised his eyebrows and gave the woman in charge a hard look.

When the woman in charge heard this, her complexion changed immediately, and she quickly stopped Wan Qiu and said, "Wait! Don't go!"

"It's okay if you don't go, but if you don't tell the truth, do you really want to collect money?" Ye Muxi stared at the woman coldly, her eyes cold.

The face of the woman in charge changed again and again, she didn't expect that she would try this trick a hundred times, but she would miss it.

While hesitating, Wan Qiu pushed the woman in charge away and ran out the door, "Miss, don't worry, this servant is looking for a beggar."

"Come back! Come back quickly! I won't take any money!" The woman in charge couldn't hold back anymore, and hurriedly shouted, "Come back quickly!"

Ye Muxi waved to Wan Qiu, telling her to come back.

"You foolish slave, bully your superiors and your subordinates, don't think I don't know how such face-saving people as uncle and aunt would do such a thing as collecting rent from their relatives, and still not be honest about it." Ye Muxi said coldly.
