Yan Mansion, Yan Hongyuan personally sent Fan Niande to the door, personally opened the sedan curtain for him, watched Fan Niande get on the sedan chair, and then slowly put down the sedan curtain for Fan Niande, and watched the sedan chair disappear into the night, before turning around and walking to the house with Su Jinsheng beside him.

Fan Niande actually went to Yan Mansion to visit him Yan Hongyuan in person, this is something that he can't figure out if he wants to break his head, a few days ago, Yan Tingcheng talked to him, talking about the separation of the family in West Lake, Fan Niande, as a witness, was extremely partial to the second and third children, which made Yan Tingcheng extremely dissatisfied, and nagged himself for a long time after coming back.

But I didn't want to think that today, Fan Niande actually ran over in person and explained to himself what happened in West Lake that day.

It's nothing more than his own fairness, he can't bear to see the three of them splitting up, the noise is too big, and in the end, it hurts the harmony and makes the brothers ugly, so for the sake of the Yan family, he will do this.

"You go and invite Miss over, I'll wait for her in the study." Yan Hongyuan, who returned to the study, looked at the new candle that Su Jinsheng brought back today, the flame was the same as the candle in the past, but there was no need to cut the candle hard, and there was no strange smell of the candle burning in the room.

Yan Hongyuan is also a person who reads poetry and books, and has never let go of the habit of reading, and naturally has great respect for Fan Niande, who is also a businessman and a Confucian, and even envies Fan Niande's current identity and status.

Yan Chengcheng quietly walked to the door of the study, looked at Yan Hongyuan, who was meditating alone in the study, his eyes turned, with a narrow smile on his face, and he quietly stuck out his tongue.

Just as he was about to tiptoe into the study, trying to scare Yan Hongyuan, he saw a loving smile on Yan Hongyuan's face, and said, "Such a big person, why is he still like when he was a child?" ”

"Why did you find out again?" Yan Qingcheng had a bitter face, walked in from the door generously, looked at Yan Hongyuan, who was looking at her happily, and said, "Why can you find it every time now?" You rarely found out before, is it true that you now have the ability to predict the future? Then why don't you give your daughter a divination? ”

"You have such a temperament, I don't know who you followed, when your mother was as old as you, there was no eccentric like you, and she was not as dignified and ......generous as your mother at all." Yan Hongyuan pointed to the chair opposite and motioned for Yan Qingcheng to sit down and speak.

"Wouldn't it? You knew my mother when I was my age? Yan Tingcheng did not sit down for the first time, but first lifted the lid of the teacup in front of Yan Hongyuan, and after looking at whether it was strong tea or clear tea, he sat down on the opposite side with confidence.

Yan Hongyuan smiled silently and watched Yan Qingcheng's every move, then tilted his head and thought for a while and said: "When your mother was as old as you, it was a well-known lady, and your father was not seen by your mother, if it weren't for it...... Forget it, don't mention the old past, let you make trouble, Dad almost forgot about the business. ”

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the candle on the candlestick, and then looked at Yan Qingcheng, who was bright and graceful under the light, and asked softly, "This candle is made by Ye Qing?" ”

"Well, today is considered to be done, although there are recipes, but there are some that even Manager Su can't figure out, so it was a few days late." Speaking of this new candle, Yan Tingcheng's eyes became more radiant, and she didn't know whether she liked this new candle, or a tall figure appeared in Fang's heart, or she remembered the nine roses in her boudoir.

"Daddy, do you like candles like that?" Yan Tingcheng almost deserted again, and hurriedly asked after coming to his senses, as if he was afraid that Yan Hongyuan would see the secret in her heart.

"Silly girl, do you think dad doesn't like it? There is no need to cut candles anymore, and there is no such strange smell, and people who smoke it when reading are uncomfortable, and my father naturally likes it very much. But this recipe ...... Does anyone else know? Yan Hongyuan said in the end, the expression on his face became much more solemn.

Yan Tingcheng thought about it, she didn't think that Ye Qing would give this recipe to others, so she shook her head and said: "No, this recipe is not completely clear even to Mr. Su, and the production method is the same, but in the selection of candles, it should be said that it is the only one of our Yan family." ”

Yan Hongyuan nodded clearly, and after a pause, he still asked, "Allure, then do you know that there has been an unpleasant and a holiday between Ye Qing and Mr. Fan Niande?" ”

"How did Daddy know?" Yan Qingcheng was holding scissors in his hand, cutting the candlelight, and he didn't want Yan Hongyuan to suddenly ask about it, so he put down the scissors and asked subconsciously.

"So it seems that there is indeed a festival between Ye Qing and Mr. Fan?" A trace of worry flashed in Yan Hongyuan's eyes, and he said with a slight sigh.

Yan Qingcheng looked at Yan Hongyuan's expression even more strangely, tilted his head and walked up to Yan Hongyuan and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?" Is there something going on? Or is this candle ....... ”

"It's nothing, then Ye Qing is now the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, and he has a grudge with Mr. Fan, today Mr. Fan came to the mansion in person and told his father about the incident on the West Lake that day, and then he mentioned that Ye Qing had acted as a guard in our house." Yan Hongyuan looked at Yan Qingcheng, who was frowning, and said.

"That'...... So what else did he ask? Or is it something to say? "Yan Qingcheng is very strange, why did he tell his father about the festival between Fan Niande and Ye Qing? What the hell does that mean!

"I didn't ask anything else, but presumably Fan Niande wanted to test whether Ye Qing had a close relationship with our Yan family, or maybe it was ......." Yan Hongyuan was a little unsure, after all, this kind of thinking was a bit of a villain.

"What's it, Dad, can you stop spitting?" Yan Qingcheng looked at Yan Hongyuan, who was unhurried and silent, and couldn't help but stomp his feet anxiously in his heart.

Yan Hongyuan glanced at his daughter helplessly, his daughter's anxiety and worry on her look made him even more helpless, he was a person from the past, how could he not know what he was thinking about now when he saw the eldest daughter since he was a child!

What's more, if Ye Qing had no idea, why did he still help the Yan family and help Yan Chengcheng so much after he had been promoted to deputy commander?

According to Yan Chengcheng, the candle matter is only the first step, and there will be other cooperation in the future, which can be regarded as a gentleman's covenant, but the two of them have always wanted to take the lion's share in the matter of dividing it.

It stands to reason that at this moment, Ye Qing is already the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, so he is fully qualified to continue to ask for and increase the price with the chips, but whether it is his daughter or Ye Qing, the two seem to have forgotten that the cooperation is divided into one thing, so they plan to cooperate in this way according to the verbal agreement between them.

This is very abnormal, this is Ye Qing's other plans, and he wants to plot the most precious baby of the Yan family, that is, the baby girl in front of him, who is also thinking about others.

Fan Niande had just returned to the mansion, but Liu Yungu was already waiting for him in the main hall of his mansion, and as soon as he entered the main hall, the first thing that caught his eye was Liu Yungu sitting in the main hall, looking at him with a smile.

"How? Mr. Fan can gain anything? Liu Yungu got up and walked up to Fan Niande and asked.

"It's hard to say." Fan Niande said in a deep voice, and then asked Liu Yungu to sit down here before he slowly opened his mouth and continued: "It seems that Yan Hongyuan didn't know about Ye Qing's promotion to the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division in advance, so he ....... ”

"So even if there is Ye Qing's backer in the palace, it is definitely not Yan Hongyuan, a noble person in the palace network, who mediates from it." Liu Yungu looked at Fan Niande and asked.

Fan Niande's face became even deeper, and he took a deep breath and asked, "Lord Liu can really be sure, that Ye Qing's promotion is really given by the Holy Decree?" ”

"It's true! The decree was given to the mansion of Lord Shangshu Tang of the Ministry of War, and the decree was announced on the second day, and the Ministry of War also issued a document. Liu Yungu nodded and said firmly.

Fan Niande thought cluelessly: "Then who will help him?" Although Yan Hongyuan has a relationship with the palace, it is obvious that Yan Hongyuan's identity as a businessman does not have so much energy and qualifications, so he can make his relationship move those nobles in the palace to speak for Ye Qing, right? ”

"So could he be deliberately hiding the truth?" Liu Yungu asked.

"No, Ye Qing was promoted, even he didn't know it for the first time, the noble man in the palace, that day in the matter of the Yan family in West Lake, just sat next to him and watched from beginning to end without saying a word, so it is impossible for the Yan family to be the one who helped Ye Qing." Fan Niande said affirmatively.

In this way, Mr. Fan's tone, Liu is also helpless, after all, Liu is just a general, and he is the deputy commander. What the Imperial City Division does has always been a secret affair, and if Commander Ye intends to embarrass Mr. Fan in the future, Mr. Fan might as well lower his head and admit his mistake. Liu Yungu's eyes flickered, and he looked at Fan Niande, whose face was getting more and more gloomy, and said.

He didn't believe such words, and he couldn't make Fan Niande feel a sense of crisis, literati value reputation and style the most, and originally wanted to regain the lost face of West Lake, but who would have thought that Fan Niande would kick such a big piece of iron!

Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the rare opportunity to block Fan Niande's road to Lin'an, so that he is forced by Ye Qing's pressure to think about running away from home, or being completely used by himself.

In Liu Yungu's view, Fan Niande does not belong to the real pedantic literati, he has the sleek and cunning of a businessman, but he also attaches great importance to the reputation he has earned over the years, if one day, he was forced by Ye Qing to bow his head and admit his mistake in Lin'an, it would be even more humiliating for Fan Niande than death.

"Is there really no other countermeasure for Lord Liu? If Lord Liu can help Fan get through the immediate difficulties, everything will be easy to discuss. Fan Niande looked at Liu Yungu and said with a firm look in his eyes.

"But it takes a lot of silver, Mr. Fan should have heard of it, right? Hades is good at seeing that little ghosts are difficult, but in fact, he doesn't have to move from the top down, sometimes moving from the bottom up can be more effective in ruining a person's reputation. Mr. Fan should have a deep understanding by now, right? A small forbidden army can make Mr. Fan ugly in West Lake, so why can't Mr. Fan embarrass him as a businessman, or disgrace his official position? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Fan Niande's expression moved, and he looked at Liu Yungu, whose eyes were getting deeper and deeper, and asked.
