Chapter Five: Yunqi Haizhou (5)

After Xue Chengming inherited the Xue family's power in the court, he soon launched a battle for Ye Qinyu. Ye Qinyu is from the family of financial management, and he is also the grandchild of Xue Yin's great love, and getting Ye Qinyu is equivalent to strengthening the political legacy he inherited, which is of great benefit to himself. Xue Chengming insisted that Xue Yin's last words were to marry Ye Qinyu to his grandson, and his son was also a grandson, so he was also qualified, and the Ye family was a Changxing person, and Ye Qinyu's life in Beijing was convenient for him to contact his brothers and sisters and integrate into the Ye family, so Ye Qinyu should grow up in Changxing and be raised by him.

This farce lasted for more than two years, during which the Ye family also repeatedly said that Ye Qinyu should grow up in his father's homeland and should not stay in Haizhou, thousands of miles away. In order to calm down the family scandal as soon as possible, Princess Jing mediated, temporarily shelved the family dispute, and took Ye Qinyu to Prince Jing's mansion and was raised by her personally.

After living in Haizhou for two years, Ye Qinyu, who had just adapted to life in Haizhou, had to migrate again and move to Changxing.

No one could have imagined that this journey of Changxing would leave Ye Qinyu with a lifetime of pain......

When the escorted convoy drove to the boundary of Henan Province, it encountered a team of thieves who fell into the grass, although the guards of Jingwangfu were strong in martial arts, but after all, they were not familiar with the place, and they were not only scattered by the thieves under several impacts, but the carriage that Ye Qinyu was riding was also brought into the dense forest area, and only a few guards were left to protect them, and finally they were outnumbered, and a group of people were taken hostage.

The guards thought that raising the banner of Prince Jing could at least keep Ye Qinyu safe, and they didn't want these thieves to die, and when they heard that they were relatives of the court officials, they asked for a sky-high price. If the guards don't reveal their identities, with the strength of the Xue family and the Jingwang Mansion, they can afford to pay no matter how high the asking price is, but once the identity is exposed, the nature is different, this is no longer a matter of money, but a matter of the face of the court.

After the loyal minister, Prince Jing's adopted daughter was taken captive, which is clearly a blatant opposition to the court, if the ransom is given to save people, it is to show the incompetence of the court, and thousands of pairs of eyes are staring at it all over the world, and the court can't afford to lose this person. Therefore, the court decreed that the ransom should be waived, and the thieves should be released within three days, and if Ye Qinyu was unharmed, he could be exempted from the death penalty, and then quickly sent troops to surround the entire mountain.

The arrogant posture of the court also angered the thieves, the two sides were deadlocked for more than a month, and several firefights were suffered by the thieves, and the thieves led by the thieves were angry and cut off a piece of the little finger of Ye Qinyu's left hand on a rainy night, and sent it to the general who led the troops to attack the mountain! If the threat is not withdrawn, Ye Qinyu's life will not be guaranteed. General Yuan Su, who was in charge of this matter, was shocked and flew pigeons overnight to pass the book to the imperial court.

However, the imperial court was already difficult to ride a tiger at this time, and it was impossible to surrender to the grass at this time, so he ordered to take advantage of the night to attack, of course, it is best to save people, and if it is not a big deal, he will be posthumously crowned a county lord, and then the high-ranking officials will reward the Ye family and the Xue family, after all, the face of the court cannot be lost.

Fortunately, the imperial army was still well-trained, and after receiving the order to attack to the death, they let go of their courage to fight, and fought with hundreds of thieves for several hours, and finally captured the fortress on the top of the mountain when it was close to dawn, but Ye Qinyu was gone, and there was no one alive or dead. Yuan Su led his troops to search the mountain, and two days later, he found the dying Ye Qinyu in a cave......

After Ye Qinyu returned to King Jing's mansion, Prince Jing and the princess felt sorry for her, and they also loved her in every way, and their food and clothing were no different from their own daughters. But she went through hardships at a young age, and since then her personality has become silent, quiet and abnormal, and she has more insight into the world than her peers.

With the passage of time, these wounds left on her soul were finally buried deep in her heart, and she would not be injured again if she did not dig up, but the scars on her body would never be with her forever, and she could not get rid of it for the rest of her life......

The so-called "body hair and skin, the parents who receive it, dare not destroy it", with "Confucianism" and "filial piety" to govern the great cause of the world, the body of the disabled people as incomplete, that is, "not perfect", even if the body is a disabled scholar, it is difficult to be an official, let alone a woman who is regarded as a vassal?

The woman has obvious birthmarks or moles on her body, which are intolerable to the world, not to mention that Ye Qinyu has an obvious residual finger on her hand, which is known to the world, and Xue Chengming, who was bent on marrying her as a daughter-in-law, retreated at this time. His son Xue Peiqi will inherit his title and power in the future, how can he marry a woman with a crippled body as his wife? No matter how big the connections behind Ye Qinyu are, he can't get into his eyes again.

But Xue Chenggui and his wife have no such prejudices. Xue Chenggui, who was born in business, never paid attention to the clichés about Ye Qinyu's "incomplete" and "ominous", and seemed to have identified the candidate for this daughter-in-law a long time ago. During the two years that Ye Qinyu lived in Xue's Mansion in Haizhou, Master Xue and Mrs. Xue showed extraordinary love for this clever and well-carved female doll, and Mrs. Chen, who came from a scholarly family, was particularly fond of her.

In the twelfth year of Hongyuan, when Ye Qinyu was fifteen years old and in the year of Lu, the Xue family hired Prince Jing and agreed that when Ye Qinyu reached the age of sixteen the following year, they would marry him into the door and become the granddaughter-in-law of the Xue family.

Xue Chengming has been appointed to the Ministry of Sanpin Rites, and Prince Jing is in the same political camp, out of the righteousness of his allies, Prince Jing Liu An also personally went to Xue Chengming's mansion to inquire about his intentions before accepting Xue Chenggui's dowry.

After all, Ye Qinyu has been generous, dignified and elegant, and is definitely an excellent candidate for a good daughter-in-law, whether it is for the sake of the brotherhood of the Xue family, or for the sake of his alliance with Xue Chengming, he must first pass through Xue Chengming's pass, after all, there is no regret medicine in this world.

Xue Chengming watched Ye Qinyu grow up, and he liked her very much, but whenever he made up his mind to speak for his eldest son Xue Peiqi, he thought of the stump of Ye Qinyu's left hand, and he was always discouraged.

The wishful thinking in his heart actually wanted to point Ye Qinyu to his concubine Xue Xunqi, so that Ye Qinyu was still a member of his family, and it would not hinder the face of his eldest son and grandson. But he couldn't open his mouth when he begged for a matchmaker for his concubine, after all, his father Xue Yin's promise of "granddaughter-in-law" was there, and everyone knew it.

Liu An said everything that should be said, and when he responded, if Xue Chengming was willing to set up the Ye family's family affairs for Xue Peiqi, then he, Liu An, would not accept Xue Chenggui's dowry. Xue Chengming's heart was also up and down, squeaky and uncertain. I didn't want Xue Peiqi to break into the study at this time, knelt down to Prince Jing and his wife, and begged to marry Ye Qinyu!

Xue Chengming's face couldn't hold back for a while, and he fiercely reprimanded Xue Peiqi for being unfilial, and refused Liu An's "kindness" in a fit of anger, and suggested that Liu An negotiate a marriage date with his brother as soon as possible to avoid changes. It is said that Xue Peiqi later went to King Jing's Mansion to plot elopement with Ye Qinyu, which caused a storm in the city.

Whenever these rumors about the two sons of Ye Qinyu and Xue Chengming came to the Xue family in Haizhou one after another, Xue Chenggui would order that they should not be publicized, but the subordinates still discussed one after another, and such things would always change their flavor when they came and went, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Xue Chunyue was already a handsome and handsome young man at this time, he has been wise and resolute, calm and calm since he was a child, and his business sense is also very sensitive, far surpassing his peers. In contrast, Xue Huijin, the elder brother who was two years older than him, although he was also a business wizard, was dwarfed and much inferior.

In the ten years that Ye Qinyu has lived in Changxing, the two have never had any contact in private, let alone have the opportunity to meet, which has objective factors and a complex mentality derived from those rumors, which seems to be deliberately ignoring.

But no matter what, Xue Chunyue's impression of her is still stuck ten years ago, when Ye Qinyu lived in the mansion. It's been a long time, all traces have gradually faded, he was only eight years old at that time, where do you remember so much?

In the past ten years, he has heard the most news about Ye Qinyu, that is, she and the two cousins of the second uncle's family and Liu Yi, the son of Prince Jing, many rumors, these rumors annoyed him, he would rather marry an innocent lady or a small jasper in Haizhou City, than have anything to do with the "destined person" in Changxing City.

But every time he showed this thought, he was reprimanded by his parents, and he also tried to prevent Xue Chenggui from hiring Liu An, but it still ended in failure.

Xue Chunyue had already expected that Xue Peiyu would not give up, and the rumors between him and Ye Qinyu would only get stronger and stronger, and sure enough, Xue Peiyu broke into the door and proposed marriage, this kind of reckless and rash move, Xue Chunyue was disdainful, but after all, Ye Qinyu and he still had the name of "the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker", and these troubles were inseparable from him, which made him annoying.

What upset him even more was that his brother Xue Huijin was about to marry Su Yuming, the eldest daughter of Haizhou's big silk merchant "Hua Xing".

Yu Ming should obviously be his woman......

The Xue family and the Su family were business partners, and the silk needed by the Su family to produce silk was transported by the Xue family, and similarly, the finished silk products were also sent by the Xue family's cargo ships to the political and economic centers of Changxing and Luo'an, and even to Silla, Baekje, Fuso, and even Ceylon, Tianzhu, Persia and other ocean-going overseas.

With such an ocean-going transportation capacity, there is no second one in the entire Daye country, and it can be said that the rise of the Su family is indispensable to the help of the Xue family.

Xue and Su have a close relationship, Xue Chunyue entered Dingtai and studied at the age of twelve, and began to do business independently at the age of sixteen, the first partner he knew was Su Qi, the master of the Su family, and the two families have been in contact for a long time, and naturally they also met the eldest lady of the Su family, Su Yuming.

Su Yuming is beautiful, gentle and elegant, and is also very familiar with business matters. The introverted Xue Chunyue doesn't have a few words with others, but she has endless topics to talk about, even if there is nothing important to say, the two of them can spend most of the day chatting together over tea.

One is the best son of the dragon and phoenix among people, and the other is the only beautiful woman in ten thousand, how can you not be in love with each other for so long? After Xue Chenggui found out that the two were secretly in love, he deliberately prevented the two from meeting and interacting, but you can't prevent you from coming and going in the business field.

Fortunately, both of them understand that the elders in the family have not yet approved the marriage match, so they can be affectionate and polite, and try their best to restrain their feelings. This kind of emotional undercurrent and intentional restraint has formed a very delicate ambiguous relationship after balancing, and the Xue and Su families know a little bit about it, but it is inconvenient to say it.
