As the sun set, the sky was getting dark.

The hustle and bustle in the city calmed down, and most of the magnates and ordinary people returned home at this time to enjoy this rare moment of tranquility.

No matter who you are during the day, you always have something to do...... The common people want to go to the streets to make a living, and the powerful want to go to the wine table to make a profit, and no one is inevitably vulgar.

Even if he was one of the top gentry in Fucheng, Yang Yuanjiao felt that there were so many things in a day that he was annoying.

He had to know everything about the family's property, such as the recent profits and losses of the shops, how the fields outside the city were being cultivated, and how he had good relations with other powerful people in the city......

Every incident made Yang Yuanjiao feel tired, and what made him even more tired was tiredness.

The Yang family is located in the center of Beicheng, as one of the top magnates in Guangde Mansion, the Yang Mansion covers an area of seven or eight acres, which is a little smaller than the Chen family next to it.

At this time, Yang Yuanjiao was sitting on the rattan chair in the garden, and as the rattan chair shook, Yang Yuanjiao looked at the sky in a daze.

To his left and right, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid stood, one carrying a teacup and the other carrying a teapot.

"The Lin family has fallen like this, it's really unexpected!" Yang Yuanjiao said in a low voice.

The Lin family occupies such a large part of the medicinal herb market, and Yang Yuanjiao wants to win it over under his own house, but he has not succeeded.

The reason for this is that Guangde Baihu made an obstacle and regarded the Lin family as their money bag, so that Yang Yuanjiao did not dare to be strong against the Lin family.

In fact, it was not only his Yang family that was eyeing the Lin family, but several other families in the city were fighting the Lin family's idea.

What makes Yang Yuanjiao puzzled now is that as the biggest supporter of the Lin family, how could Zhou Wenzhu allow his subordinates to wipe out the Lin family, is there no shortage of money in the hundreds of households?

These abnormal things are the easiest to attract Yang Yuanjiao's attention and thinking, and he has to think about whether there are any holes in it.

But before thinking about this, it was time for Yang Yuanjiao to get the Liu family ready to use it as his Yang family's signboard to forcibly occupy the medicinal material market.

Since he extinguished his thoughts in the imperial examination, Yang Yuanjiao now has only one thought, which is to make his family bigger and stronger.

And the goal in his heart is to surpass the Chen family in front of the queue and pave a better road for future generations.

And at this moment, an old housekeeper came to report: "Master, dinner has been prepared, and the lady and young master are waiting for you!" ”

After breathing a long sigh of relief, Yang Yuan said, "Alas...... In this life, people are inseparable from eating, drinking, and Lazar! ”

The housekeeper on the side stepped forward cautiously, and after waving away the maid next to him, he helped Yang Yuanjiao up and said, "Who said it wasn't...... Sir, slow down! ”

At this time, Yang Yuanjiao asked, "A few of them, let's stop a little today!" ”

The "they" Yang Yuanjiao said here refers to his own concubines, and from time to time these people will quarrel.

Mrs. Yang Yuanjiao died of illness two years ago, and in order to maintain the status of the eldest son, he has not continued the strings, so that the backyard will catch fire from time to time.

This is also something that can't be helped, it is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, not to mention that Yang Yuanjiao has not paid too much attention to this aspect.

Anyway, the family will be handed over to the eldest son, and after he is a hundred years old, these concubines and the concubines they gave birth to will share some family business for them to make a living.

The old butler replied at this time: "Master, the ladies are safe today!" ”

Standing up, Yang Yuanjiao walked to the front yard, and the old housekeeper followed behind with two maids.

The Yang family's mansion is very large, and they can meet maids along the way, and these people see Yang Yuanjiao as if they met the king of heaven.

In this era, since they have been committed to slavery, there is no human rights at all, and Yang Yuanjiao, as the master, has the right to kill them.

After walking in the corridor for several minutes, Yang Yuanjiao came to the lobby of the back house, and at this time it was already brightly lit, and there was the sound of warblers and swallows.

Yang Yuanjiao didn't like to be noisy, so when he appeared, the lobby immediately quieted down.

I saw that there was a large round table inside, but the food had not yet been served, and several women dressed as noble ladies were sitting on the left and right, and the position at the top was reserved for Yang Yuanjiao.

Around the table, there were seven or eight maids standing scattered, and they saluted one after another after seeing Yang Yuanjiao coming.

"Master, you can be regarded as here, I haven't seen you for a few days......"

"Master, come to the table, this meal today is specially ordered by the concubine to make in the kitchen, and your favorite dish will ...... at that time."

Before he stepped into the threshold, Yang Yuanjiao felt that his head was big for a while, and the enthusiasm of these little wives made him a little unbearable.

"What about the kids?" Yang Yuanjiao asked at this time.

The children Yang Yuanjiao asked at this time were actually asking the housekeeper why the family didn't come to dinner.

But before the housekeeper could speak, Yang Yuanjiao a concubine rushed to say: "Master, the children are very naughty, they will come ...... in a while."

But at this time, Yang Yuanjiao swept his gaze to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper replied: "Master, the eldest young master is not feeling well, and the young lady has just sent someone to spread the word that she will not come to dinner today!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Yuanjiao couldn't help but feel a little helpless, every family had a scripture that was difficult to read.

"Let's serve!" Yang Yuanjiao sighed.

But right here, a group of uninvited guests came from outside the Yang family, it was a group of school captains led by Chen Xiaoting.

Because the sky was dark, the lights at the gate of the mansion were not of much use, so that the servants guarding the gate did not recognize the identity of the Jinyi guard, but only regarded them as officials of the mansion.

With just a wave of Chen Xiaoting's hand, Zhao Ying and Yun Qingfeng led people to take down several servants at the gate of the Yang Mansion.

Stunned by this sudden change, these people let out two shouts, and were slapped twice by the officers.

Then, the world fell silent.

It was also at this time that the servants of the Yang Mansion saw the identity of the person who came, and it was actually Jinyiwei who came to the door.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting took two steps to negotiate and asked, "Is Yang Yuanjiao at home?" ”

These domestic servants had never seen such a big battle, and immediately said everything they could.

Knowing that Yang Yuanjiao's family was there, Chen Xiaoting was relieved, and now he could wipe out the Yang family.

"Let's go, let's go in!" Chen Xiaoting said coldly.

The Jinyi guard sent to the door, scaring the servants and maids in the outer courtyard, and the entire Yang family immediately became noisy.

The noise spread all the way to the backyard, and Yang Yuanjiao, who had just entered the table, immediately collapsed, and asked the housekeeper to go out to see what was going on.

"It seems that you have lax discipline, and you have forgotten the rules!"

Yang Yuanjiao said this to the servants and maids on the side, but it made several of his concubines change color, for fear that it was him.

But he didn't wait for a while, and he heard the panicked voice of the old housekeeper outside, which made Yang Yuanjiao even more unhappy.

"My lord, there will be ladies inside, can you go in!" The old butler pleaded.

In this era of strict etiquette, a wealthy family like the Yang family pays more attention to and values the so-called rules.

If Chen Xiaoting and these people were allowed to break in, the old housekeeper's sin would be great, so he tried his best to stop it.

Hearing these words, Yang Yuanjiao immediately said angrily: "Who is so bold and dares to break into my mansion!" ”

In the capital city, even the prefect Li Changshan would not be so rude.

But I heard Chen Xiaoting's voice coming: "Master Yang, this official is uninvited, don't be angry!" ”

It was at this time that Yang Yuanjiao saw a bunch of brocade-clothed guard officials pouring in outside the hall, and the person headed by was none other than Chen Xiaoting, the little flag official.
