Because of the dragon boat race, the army also took a three-day break to prepare for this matter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, after the old and young masters of the Ye family came back, their emotions were not very high, especially the old man Ye, who sighed a few times when he ate at noon.

"Grandfather is worried that we won't get the first place?" Ye Jinhui asked curiously.

"The first must be the Yao family." Old Man Ye said lightly.

Ye Jinhui reacted suddenly, Governor Chen is using dragon boat racing to win over the Yao family, I don't know how many merchant ships will carry out shipping under the banner of the Yao family in the future, relying on this entry alone, I am afraid that gold and silver will pile up.

"In the past, those merchants relied on our family's eyes." Old Siye Siguo said unconvinced, "Governor Chen has only been here for a few days, and he has already colluded with the Yao family. ”

Although there are 5,000 households in Quanzhou Wei, Old Man Ye is General Qian's most powerful subordinate, in charge of the water division.

"Woe comes from the mouth, and in the future, I will say less such words!" The boss Ye Siming shouted, "When Yao Zheng takes office, he must seize the power in his own hands. ”

"Dad is just waiting to be set up by the Yao family?" The fourth asked unconvinced.

"Thirty years in Hedong, forty years in Hexi." The eldest comforted his younger brother.

Ye Jinhui, who was sitting on Old Man Ye's lap, suddenly saw a picture of Old Man Ye's head in a different place in front of him, and couldn't help but interject: "The sword has no eyes, what if the Yao family is in the hands of the battlefield in the dark?" ”

Old Siye Siguo said: "In previous years, we were the first, if we blindly retreated, I was afraid that I would be laughed at by other families." ”

The third master: "That's it, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, we can only be the penultimate one." ”

The old man kept his face calm and didn't speak.

After a long time, he only asked Ye Jinhui: "Have you studied martial arts recently?"

Ye Jinhui shook his head, "Grandmother has been teaching me to read." ”

Old Man Ye frowned, "The Ye family started with martial arts, and if you don't know martial arts, you can't do it, starting tomorrow, your grandfather will teach you in person." ”

Ye Jinhui's heart moved, "Grandfather doesn't have to train the navy?" ”

It's really a pot that can't be opened, and Master Ye's face sank, "At a young age, why are you talking so much?" ”

Old Man Ye waved his hand at the eldest son, "This child has always been meticulous, don't be too restrained by her." ”

Master Ye is just that.

Old Man Ye took the initiative to explain: "I'm afraid that after the Dragon Boat Festival, my grandfather will be idle for a while, and I will take you to ride a horse when the time comes." ”

Ye Jinhui guessed that someone must have wanted to take the water master in the hands of the Ye family, otherwise his grandfather would not have been so lost, but he wisely chose not to ask any more questions, and only saluted: "Thank you, grandfather." After speaking, he reminded: "It's time to worship Mazu Niangniang." ”

Before the dragon boat race, you must first invite the dragon and worship the gods, and the Mazu who worships more in Fujian is said to be able to bless the safety of the boat, and the Ye family is no exception.

But to Ye Jinhui's surprise, when Old Man Ye came back, he brought back an uninvited guest-the fourth son of Chu.

*

When Ye Jinhui asked his mother to say goodbye, he specifically mentioned Qiqiao, "The second aunt said that the second sister now has two maids there, and she said that she was also giving me one." ”

When Mrs. Ye, who was sluggish, heard this, a coldness immediately burst out in her eyes, "If you want a maid, my mother will try her best to choose for you, where do you need to drive the second wife." ”

Ye Jinhui: "My daughter also told her second aunt like this, but my mother should know that she has always been enthusiastic...... "If you force someone to come over, you will hurt each other's face if you refuse."

"You're so small, how can you use so many maids." Shen said reluctantly.

Ye Jinhui lowered his eyes and was silent.

Mrs. Ye bit her lip for a long time, and finally instructed Xiao Cui: "Take out twenty taels of silver, give it to the old lady, and ask her to help the eldest girl buy another maid to come back." ”

Xiao Cui was busy, took the silver and went to the upper room with Ye Jinhui, and asked the old lady to say goodbye first, and then said: "The eldest lady is sick now, and the old lady has to take care of the two girls again, it is really hard, Gui Zhi is young, I want to ask the old lady if she can help the eldest girl find another maid to come over." So saying, he gave him the money.

Because of the Qian family, the Ye family has reduced a lot of people, but Ye Jinhui and Ye Jinyue are too young, her own energy is limited, and she is really tired during this time. ”

Xin Dazhuang's family took the money, and soon found someone to bring more than a dozen girls over.

Because of the experience of Kaiyuan Temple, Ye Jinhui chose the thirteen-year-old Angelica Angelica.

Bai Zhi is not only older and proficient in cooking, but also has the most beautiful appearance among the maids Ye Jinhui has ever seen.

Ye Jinyue was a little unhappy, "Why is the big sister's maid so beautiful, and my person so ugly!" That day, he pouted and made trouble in front of the old lady.

The old lady felt that she would use the ugly one of course, so as not to have a different heart between her husband and son, and her granddaughter would naturally use a beautiful one, so that she could hold her grandson-in-law in the future.

"The person was sent by your mother, if you don't like it, go find your mother."

Mrs. Ye was thinking that she was blind with such a good name but her head was not good, so she asked Yuxiu to give twenty taels of silver to the old lady.

The old lady still handed over the matter to Xin Dazhuang's family.

Ye Jinyue chose a very beautiful maid that day and named her Lilac.

Lilac's cooking skills and female red are not as good as Angelica Angelica, but she looks more beautiful than Angelica Angelica, but she also needs more silver.

Bai Zhi only spent fifteen taels of silver, and the old lady still gave Ye Jinhui the remaining five taels, "Good boy, these are for you to make pocket money." ”

Mrs. Ye used Ye Jinhui's zongzi recipe and promised to give the old lady a bonus of one percent every month, and the old lady was happy, and she looked at Ye Jinhui a little more pleasing than before.

Gui Zhi whispered to Ye Jinhui, "Bai Zhi only asked for fifteen taels of silver, and I also asked for fifteen taels at that time, is it too much?" ”

Ye Jinhui nodded, "Didn't you say that your father was sick and needed money to see a doctor?" The old lady pities the old and the poor the most. ”

When Gui Zhi heard this, he became more and more attentive.

Ye Jinhui instructed her, "Can you find someone who is reliable to keep an eye on my second wife and cousin for me?" My mother was poisoned so strangely that the old lady said that it had something to do with my cousin. ”

Gui Zhi thought for a while and said, "I have an elder brother who is ten years old this year, but he can only stare at one person. ”

Ye Jinhui handed over the five taels of silver, "You don't need to keep staring, just stare at the two of them when they go out together." ”

Yang Shuyi is twenty-two years old this year, but she lied to the people in the house and said that she was eighteen, and was later exposed by Tang Pozi, so she was a little embarrassed to come out to meet people. It is said that Mrs. Tang and Yang Shuyi had some disagreements, and in the matter of Mrs. Tang being kicked out of the Ye family, Yang Shuyi was definitely suspected of fanning the flames, according to Mrs. Ye's temperament, how could she frequently show favor to her and often ask her out?

It's not a good thing for these two people to get too close.

Gui Zhi felt, "My brother is only ten years old, and he can't do heavy work at home, even if he helps the girl, he can't use so much silver." My house is only half an hour's way from the house, and he can eat and live at home without extra expenses. ”

Ye Jinhui: "That's good to say, it's calculated at 200 wen a day, if there is any surplus, I will tell him to do other things in the future." ”

Gui Zhi thanked him, took the money, and went home directly.

The next day is the Dragon Boat Festival.

What gave Ye Jinhui a headache was that the Ye family did not want to see Chu Si.

Old Madam Ye even made up her mind to kick him out of the Ye family.
