There are no less than 100 subordinates, guards and maids in the Yan Mansion, so Ye Qing's duties are also very simple, he stays in the mansion on weekdays, if there is nothing to do, they can go home with the ten forbidden troops at night, and then come back the next morning to do errands.

Basically, they don't need to be used in the caretaker's home, and their only role is to follow Miss Yan Yancheng when she goes out, or to accompany Yan Hongyuan when she goes out with important things.

On weekdays in Yan Mansion, they don't have to worry about other things, unless it is Su Jinsheng or Yan Hongyuan or Yan Chengcheng who are dispatched, it is another matter.

After meeting Yan Hongyuan, Ye Qing also completely understood the role of them being bought by Yan Hongyuan, to put it bluntly, their forbidden army is the personal decoration of these wealthy businessmen, and it is used by the wealthy businessmen to obtain a symbol similar to the same status between them and the dignitaries.

When talking about business, making friends, and feasting, the forbidden army has become an indispensable extra bargaining chip for wealthy businessmen, so as to convey to business partners, a message with a strong background and status.

Just like in the later generations, businesses will use the banner of the state, officials, etc., to elevate their identity and background, and some hotels will place photos of the boss and celebrities, celebrities, and senior national officials, so as to tell the guests the taste and grade of the hotel, showing the deep connections and strength background of the hotel owner.

Of course, the purpose of the merchants will definitely not be single, the forbidden army is in their hands, and it can be used at will according to their own needs, since it can be used to decorate their status, they can naturally rely on the forbidden army of the imperial court to deter some partners who have friction with them in business.

In short, pulling the banner as a tiger skin, taking advantage of the loose management of the forbidden army by the imperial court, as well as the greedy psychology of the bigwigs in the military department above the court, the forbidden army has become a "luxury" symbolizing status in the hands of powerful families and wealthy businessmen.

Especially in today's Southern Song Dynasty, when merchants do business, they are often not limited to the Song people, but have extremely close business contacts with foreign countries such as Jinguo, Daxia, Dali, Dashi, etc., so having a forbidden army next to the merchants can make foreign merchants believe that these Southern Song Dynasty merchants who have the "protection" of the forbidden army are worthy of their trust.

For them, the forbidden army is nothing more than a kind of advertising in later generations, in order to elevate their status and deepen the trust of others in themselves, this kind of trick is an extremely precious resource for a businessman whether it is in later generations or now.

Following Su Jinsheng to the backyard, he saw a chic second floor surrounded by colorful vegetation, thus forming an elegant courtyard that seemed to be separate, and on both sides of this second floor were two small blue brick bungalows.

Su Jinsheng pointed to the blue brick bungalow on the left side and said: "The place where you rest on weekdays is these houses, and on the right are some maids called by the young lady on weekdays, and the small building in the middle is the residence of the young lady." Brother Ye, remember, if you don't have Miss's orders, you can't enter that building at will. ”

"It's Miss's embroidery building, and the opposite sex is forbidden to enter. Rest assured, I promise we won't come and go at will. Ye Qing looked up at the show building, and it seemed that the second floor should be the main place for Miss Yan's food, clothing, and living.

"The opposite sex?" Su Jinsheng pondered a somewhat obscure word, although he understood the meaning, but at the moment, few people would use such words to speak.

"Men and women, aren't they the opposite sex?" Ye Qing glanced at Su Jinsheng easily, and then walked towards the blue brick house on the left.

Compared with the disappearance of social classes in later generations and the concept of equality between men and women, the term opposite sex is used a lot, and now social classes are still rigorous, men and women are not all social components, or in other words, the two concepts of men and women cannot include all social classes.

Therefore, the word heterosexual, in this era, cannot completely summarize the division of people, and the existence of hierarchical concepts makes people have a more important and universal class division between men and women.

In one day, the entire Yan Mansion was accompanied by Su Jinsheng, and in the process, Yan Hongyuan's not bright laughter could be heard from time to time, greeting waves of guests.

Because Su Jinsheng wanted to have a good relationship with Ye Qing, so that he, the housekeeper of Yan Mansion, could spend less energy in the future, so basically on this day, he accompanied Ye Qing to visit Yan Mansion, but put Yan Hongyuan, the old man, aside.

The Yanfu can indeed be regarded as a wealthy merchant in the entire Lin'an City and even the entire Great Song Dynasty, among the guests who come and go, in addition to most of the merchants, there are also some officials and officials who come to visit the mansion, and at this time Su Jinsheng often goes to help Yan Hongyuan greet him.

"What time is it...... What time is it? Ye Qing watched Su Jinsheng leave again, walked back to the courtyard where they were placed by Su Jinsheng with Lao Liu Tou and the others, looked at the sun that was gradually moving west, and asked.

It's been more than two months since he came to the Great Song Dynasty, and what bothers Ye Qing is the problem of time, which is completely dependent on Meng, and he has never been able to guess the specific time, and the timing title of Zi Chou Yin Mao is also very unfamiliar to him, and even after Lao Liu Tou told him the specific time, he still needs to go through Zi Chou Yin Mao in his mind, and then convert it into a time method that he is familiar with.

Li Heng hadn't come back with Yan Chengcheng yet, but Ye Qing had already faintly sensed a trace of anxiety that existed in the Yan Mansion from the calm Yan Mansion and the conversation with Su Jinsheng, to be precise, the upper echelons of the Yan Mansion.

Yan Qingzhi's speed of entering the official career was obviously beyond the expectations of the Yan family, originally thought that even if he was admitted to the Jinshi, after having this qualification, if he wanted to really enter the court as an official, I am afraid he would have to wait a few years, but obviously Yan Hongyuan did not expect that the imperial court would hire Yan Qingzhi in a very short period of time.

Although he was only a small county lieutenant in Binzhou, the order of the imperial court could not be violated, and Yan Qingzhi, who had always been in charge of the Yan family's business, threw the Yan family's business to Yan Hongyuan after being hired by the imperial court.

But Yan Hongyuan looks elegant and chic, graceful and wise, but his body bones are not very tough, and he has to take medicine every once in a while.

So now, two months after Yan Qingzhi left, Yan Hongyuan finally persuaded his only daughter Yan Tingcheng to take over the Yan family's business when he couldn't support it alone.

But even two months is enough to make the Yan family's family business on the verge of falling apart because of the hearts of the clansmen, relatives, and wives.

And the Yan family also has external troubles, the commerce of the Southern Song Dynasty is extremely developed in history, and even the peak of feudal society, so the development of commerce also means that the competition is fierce.

Ye Qing sat in the courtyard idly thinking about these things, and couldn't figure out why Yan Hongyuan had to persuade his daughter to take over the family business, could it be that his daughter's prestige was higher than his prestige in the clan? Or does his daughter have a different talent for business? can easily help the Yan family resolve this crisis.

When the sun was about to fall from the western sky, Li Heng finally accompanied Miss Yan back, and after sending it to the door, he watched Miss Yan walk into the courtyard of the embroidery building accompanied by two personal maids, Li Heng saw Ye Qing leaning on the door frame, just like the old bustard in the green building, looking at him and Yan Chengcheng's back thoughtfully.

Quickly followed Zhao Qi'er and the others behind him to Ye Qing's side, and then let Zhao Qi'er and the others go into the courtyard to rest, Li Heng stopped and followed Ye Qing at the door to tell him about accompanying Yan Qingcheng today.

In short, people follow wherever they go, and for most of the day, there is nothing to do, just follow the carriage around Lin'an City.

After finishing speaking, Li Heng looked up at the sun that was about to sink in the west again, and after a trace of hesitation flashed on his face, he still said to Ye Qing: "Ye Tou, do you still have money?" ”

"What, isn't my mother's condition still improving?" Ye Qing straightened up from the door frame, and then took out a money bag from his arms and threw it to Li Heng: "Is it enough?" ”

Li Heng opened the money bag and took a look, there were about thirty or forty yuan in it, and it was estimated that this was all Ye Qing's living expenses this month.

Ye Qing's care for him and his wife has made him extremely moved these days, and he looked at Ye Qing and said gratefully: "It's not enough." ”

"Your uncle, why don't you show a grateful expression if it's not enough?" Ye Qing's eyes widened, and he was about to kick Li Heng again, but when he saw a maid coming out of Xiulou, he hurriedly put his foot back and said, "You grab a few pairs of medicine first, and the rest of the money ......." ”

"I can't ask my sister-in-law anymore, if I look for my sister-in-law again, I, Li Heng, will not have the face to go to your house in the future." Li Heng looked at Ye Qing's thoughtful expression and hurriedly dissuaded.

"I know, don't talk about you, I'm too embarrassed to ask for it." Ye Qing stroked his chin, he was wondering in his heart, did he open his mouth with his sister-in-law after going back today, and ask for the money he bought cloth yesterday back?

As soon as this thought rose in his mind, Ye Qing's sight seemed to appear again, the inkstone that fell from the sky in the morning with a strong murderous aura, so he hurriedly dispelled this idea in an instant.

He wasn't sure if he mentioned yesterday's piece of cloth to Bai Chun after he went back today, would Bai Chun really go to the kitchen to get a knife and kill his little brother-in-law for righteousness.

"I'll grab a few pills first, and I can make do with a few days. So I'll leave first today, and if it's too late, I'm afraid the pharmacy will close again. Li Heng looked at Ye Qing's expression, and didn't want Ye Qing to be embarrassed about his relationship with his mother, so he had to tightly squeeze the money bag of thirty or forty wen in his hand and said.

"Yes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the living can suffocate their urine to death. Okay, you go, go home and take good care of the old lady, say sorry to the old lady, and I will go to see her old man in a few days. Ye Qing looked at Li Heng's back, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly stopped Li Heng.

When Li Heng, who had already walked a few steps, came to him, Ye Qing looked around and said, "You come over early tomorrow, I'll come over later tomorrow, anyway, it is estimated that there is nothing wrong with this Yan Mansion, there will be no mistakes, you just take them with you, but remember not to talk back to Lao Liu, Lao Liu is not as simple as it seems." ”

"Isn't it that he followed General Yue to defeat Jin Bing before, but his greedy character is ...... I don't dare to think that even if he agrees to marry his daughter to me now, I'm afraid God knows how much dowry money he will want, I ...... Can you afford to marry? Forget it, let's not talk about it, I'll go first. Li Heng remembered Lao Liu's greedy face, and he couldn't wait to pump himself a few big mouths, how could he fall in love with his daughter, he really had nothing to do.
