Chapter 481: Engagement

"Young owner, you see that this matter can't be dragged on forever, I" to tell you this, people can't be put in my house anymore, and others will know about it after a long time

"Just what? I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry! ”

In the backyard, in Yang Rui's account room.

A short and fat man in his fifties stood behind Yang Wu, rubbing his fists back and forth on his chest, looking anxious.

"Naturally, you're not in a hurry, people are in my place, why are you in a hurry!" The man muttered softly.

Yang Rui turned his head and glanced at the man dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about, I give you twenty taels of silver every day, if it weren't for your bad business this year, I wouldn't give you this good thing, you think about whether your silk and satin business has this amount of money a day, don't beg for cheap and sell well!" ”

The man hurriedly smiled flatteringly, bowed his body and thanked him, so that he looked even shorter in front of Yang Rui.

"That's, that's, Xiao naturally understands that the Shaodong family is good to Xiao's family, but you obviously know that Master Yang is outside the city, why don't you go to Du Yunfan to ask for someone?"

Yang Rui sneered and put down the scroll in his hand. walked to the window, looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and said quietly: "I won't go, they will naturally come to the door to find it." ”

The man listened with some disbelief: "Wouldn't it? ”

Yang Rui snorted: "That Du Yunfan seems to be a smart person, he didn't want to coerce me into handing over the Yunfan Inn to him, but I obviously know, but if I don't go, he won't be able to hold back." ”

Man: "However, everyone says that this Du Yunfan is a rich man at first glance, not only did he buy a big mansion on the outskirts of the city, but everyone is talking about you behind his back."

Yang Rui interrupted the man's words: "What are you talking about, saying that I killed Du San and killed my grandfather for the sake of an inn?" Ha, if I, Yang Rui, can really do this for an inn, then they will underestimate me Yang Rui too much. ”

"But here's the problem. Your grandfather did disappear with Du Sanyi before and after! "Haha, they're all shallow people. Why don't they want to, my grandfather's family property is my Yang Rui's sooner or later, what's the point of me killing him? That Du San's inn is just a drop in the bucket of all the properties of my Yang family, why should I kill people for the sake of a fraction of a fortune, not only will I not get anything good. And to kill people to pay for their lives, they think I have the same brain in the water as them? ”

Seeing that Yang Rui was a little annoyed, the man didn't dare to answer, and stood aside a little helpless.

Seeing this, Yang Rui smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, soon you will be able to sit back and relax, go back, pay five taels of silver from Mr. Bookkeeper, even if it is the dinner I invited you, I will not keep you, I still have something to do." ”

"Well, that's my leave."

The man was about to say goodbye, and someone outside the door spoke: "Shaodong, someone asks to see you." ”

Yang Rui opened the door and asked, "Who?" ”

"Du Yunfan and his younger brother."

Yang Rui smiled and looked at the man proudly. Said: "Shopkeeper Wang, how about it, what I said is not wrong, you go back and wait for my good news." ”

When the man heard this, he was also happy, afraid of being seen by Du Wenhao and them. So he took his leave and went out through the other side door.

As soon as the shopkeeper of the silk village left, Yang Rui immediately rushed to the front hall.

Yang Rui walked out of the inner room and saw Du Wenhao and the woman dressed as a woman he had seen before sitting there drinking tea, and the shopkeeper Wang in front of the cabinet was talking happily with Du Wenhao.

When the shopkeeper saw the young owner coming out, he quickly got up. Du Wenhao and Ke Yao sat still and did not move.

Yang Rui walked to Du Wenhao and Ke Yao and sat down, and the guy hurriedly brought the tea.

"I don't know if Du Gongzi and this "Gongzi are looking for something?" Yang Rui glanced at Ke Yao, thinking that he didn't know what kind of coquettishness this girl would be if she changed into women's clothes, but she didn't expose it in her mouth.

Du Wenhao smiled and put the teacup in his hand on a few cases, and said, "We are also entrusted by others." Let's send a message to Yang Gongzi. ”

Yang thought that Du Wenhao would talk about Du San and Yunfan Inn when he opened his mouth, but he didn't expect that he would just bring one for someone. Words, Yang Jie was somewhat disappointed, and said, "Oh? Who is it? ”

Ke Yao: "You should know who it is, Yang Gongzi has great powers, how can you not know who wants to see you?" ”

Yang Rui smiled indifferently at Ke Yao: "I thought you were going to see me." There was a kind of teasing in his tone.

Ke Yao was thinking about fire, but after thinking about it, he smiled, a small dimple appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Yang Rui was stupid when he saw it, thinking what a beautiful smile!

"Yang Gongzi smiled, we have already met before, and there are other people who want to see you."

Du Wenhao immediately understood, it seems that this Yang Rui is really not stupid, he must have seen through Ke Yao is a daughter, so he said this kind of thing to imply Ke Yao.

Du Wenhao didn't want to play any word games. said bluntly: "Your grandfather Yang Qianhu is playing with you." ”

When Yang Rui heard this, he was very surprised, he never thought that it was actually his grandfather who wanted to see him, he didn't react a little, and he didn't speak.

Ke Yao: "What? Yang Gongzi looked as if he was surprised. ”

Yang Rui heard Ke Yao talking to himself, so he came back to his senses, smiled at Ke Yao, and then said, "Girl, do you think I should go or not?" ”

Ke Yao reacted quickly, and immediately said with a smile: "Since you already know that I am a woman disguised as a man, I won't quibble, but you haven't told me that you still don't go?" ”

Yang Rui originally wanted to give Ke Yao a dismount. didn't expect Ke Yao to accept the recruitment smoothly, and Yang Rui admired this girl even more.

"Go, you can go, but I have two conditions." Yang Rui took it into account.

Du Wenhao: "Young Master Yang, please speak." "If you want to meet Du San, you must let your brother be the master, and let this girl marry me."

This time it was really not within the scope of Du Wenhao's consideration, he thought about it quickly in his mind, and said, "What, do you know where Du San is?" ”

Yang Rui smiled: "Didn't you say that when you took my grandfather, you asked me to take Du San to exchange for my grandfather?" Now I've found it, but I'm going to change it. It's not my grandfather, it's this girl. ”

Du Wenhao: "Young Master Yang, you're joking." Ling Mei has only met you twice, isn't it ridiculous that you would give up your own grandfather and ask for a girl you don't know at all? ”

Yang Rui: ""Do...

Ke Yao stood up suddenly. interrupted Yang Rui's words and said, "Don't go on, why do you want me to marry you, haven't you married yet?" I'm telling you, I, Ke Yao, would never do anything to anyone, especially someone like you! As for that Yang Qianhu, do you love to see it, Du San, you love to change it or not, everything is up to you, but you don't want to beat Miss Ben's idea. With that, he got up and left.

Yang Rui was used to seeing those women who were obedient to him, seeing Ke Yao being so tough, his curiosity was amused, and seeing that Ke Yao was gone, Du Wenhao also got up and said goodbye, without saying anything.

Yang Rui stopped Du Wenhao and said, "You sister has some meaning, so let's do it, I promise to see my grandfather, as for the rest, we won't talk about anything else for the time being." Du Xianggong, please go first, and I'll be there later. ”

Du Wenhao only smiled and nodded, arched his hand, and said, "Farewell" and went out to chase Ke Yao.

on the carriage.

"Do you really want me to get married? Wang Runxue said this before, and today when he says so. If you don't speak, I know that you are annoyed by looking at me, and you are all annoyed by looking at me! Ke Yao shouted loudly.

"It's okay for you to be reasonable, when did I say that you would get married, where did you have time to speak just now, and you robbed people of the past. I know you said that you won't do it to others, of course I understand, so I didn't say anything! Du Wenhao argued.

When Ke Yao heard Du Wenhao say this, his anger became a little smaller, and he said, "What about Master Yang's affairs?" ”

Du Wenhao: "Yang Rui agreed to see his grandfather." ”

Ke Yao was anxious again when he heard this: "You still said that you didn't promise others, how could you be willing to see Yang Qianhu if you didn't promise?" ”

Du Wenwu was made to laugh and cry by Ke Yao: "I didn't promise him, it was he who said that you and his affairs will not be said for the time being, and I will talk about it after seeing Yang Qianhu first." ”

Ke Yao was so angry that he found something, and said in his mouth: "What is the matter between me and him, you say that I will find something and kill you!" ”

Du Wenhao laughed, pointed at Ke Yao and said, "You say that you are so fierce, who dares to really want you!" ”

Du Wenhao is just a joke, who would think that when Ke Yao heard it, he suddenly became sad, and tears flowed down.

Du Wenhao panicked, stepped forward to comfort, Ke Yao pushed him away with a palm, and said with tears: "I know that this is what you really think, it's not that others don't want me, but you don't." ”

"Ke Yao, what I just said is really a joke. You must not take it seriously, I" alas. It's what you said before, I" Du Wenhao was in a hurry, and he didn't know how to explain it.

Ke Yao glanced at Du Wenhao indifferently and said, "That's it, if you see that I am pitiful and willing to continue to take me in, I will leave it with a thick face." If you're really tired of me, then I'll leave, but I'd rather die than marry that Yang Rui. ”

Du Wenhao felt distressed when he saw Ke Yao's appearance. Or walked to her side and sat down: "Look at what you said, I said, I depend on you for everything, you like me too, you can do whatever you want, where do I get tired of you?" It's you who don't want to do anything, but I'm "Okay, okay, don't talk about this, I promised you, you can do anything, I'll listen to you." ”

Ke Yao saw that Du Wenhao was so anxious that he was about to sweat out. This time he burst into tears and laughed: "Okay, I'm relieved to have your words, you say it, listen to me for everything." Finally, don't be fooled. ”

"Okay, don't do it!" Du Wenhao smiled bitterly.

Yunfan Villa

Because this place is close to the mountains and rivers, and the house was originally a person who was an official in Dali and was ready to retire after returning to his hometown, who thought, before he had time to enjoy this blessing, the court sent someone to check him, I heard that this person is a four-grade fat poor, and he has scavenged a lot of people's fat and people's ointment. This house is also several times larger than the mansion of the general big family in Xiushan County, but why did this house not be seized by the imperial court, I heard that he was built in the name of his mother at that time, and the imperial court saw that his filial piety was expressed, and his father was loyal to the imperial court for several generations, so that his eighty-year-old mother had a place to go, so this mansion was retained.

Who would have thought that this old mother who was an official was probably frightened and old and frail on the way back to Xiushan County, and died before she arrived at this mansion.

Who left this mansion to, that is, the later seller, but it was a clothed servant of this official, because he had to come back to clean up first, who would have thought that it would be such a big bargain, first, he didn't dare to live here, for fear of getting into trouble, and secondly, he was originally a poor man, which was also wasted in such a big mansion, it was better to sell the money and run away with a family, but he didn't dare to let the court know the truth about the matter, and lied that the old mother handed over this house to one before she died, and distant relatives took care of it, It is convenient to give incense to the old man during the Qingming Festival every year, and the court will give up.

Because it is cultivated by officials, it is natural to pay attention to a feng shui, there is a mountain in the back, there is water in the front, and the house is in the middle of the mountain, and the scenery is very good.

Let's talk about other people who came with Du Wenhao. They all found a store in the city one by one and started business, after all, Yang Rui only controlled the medicinal materials, and he couldn't do anything else in other businesses, so except for Du Wenhao, who was still on hold, everyone else hurriedly opened for business.

When Du Wenhao and Ke Yao returned home, they saw Qian Bucheng and his wife Zhao sitting in the hall, and their son was still standing beside them.

Ke Yao said cautiously: "As soon as I saw the Zhao family, I knew that nothing good would happen. ”

Du Wenhao snickered and nodded Ke Yao's forehead: "Then you'd better not go, this mouth of yours doesn't quarrel with others, go and tell Xue'er, just say that Yang Rui asks to turn back and stay on the side, if there are more people present, I am worried that it is inconvenient for Old Man Yang to speak, you hurry up and arrange it, and Yang Rui will come later." ”

When Ke Yao heard this, he hurried to find Lin Qingdai and Wang Runxue.

Du Wenhao walked to the front of the hall, and Qian Buhui got up and walked in front of Du Wenhao first, with a bitter face. I wanted to give Du Wenhao a smile, but it looked uglier than crying.

"Master" I, I" don't collect money and stutter and don't know what to say.

"What am I, if you don't say it, I'll tell the master." Zhao stood up, twisted his thick waist and fat buttocks, and came over.

walked in front of Du Wenhao and bowed first, and still shouted respectfully to the master, and then said: "Master, that's the case, now I have discussed it with the child's father, isn't it that the medicinal herb shop and the medical hall have not yet opened?" Our family can't just eat the mountains and empty mountains, right, so ah, I'm thinking about letting the child's father and Xu Xun find something to do in the medicinal herb shop in the city, you see? ”

Du Wenhao smiled and said, "What? Have you run out of money? ”

If the money is not collected, he hurriedly said: "No, no, how can so much money be used up at once?" ”

Zhao pulled the money away, and said with a smile: "Master, money can't make money, right?" So,"

Du Wenhao walked to the hall and sat down, and his son, who didn't collect the money, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then poured Du Wenhao a cup of tea.

"Mother, my father and I don't agree, so don't be difficult for us."

"Phew, what do you know, you only know how to eat and lose money a day!" Zhao took a bite at his son.

Du Wenhao frowned, and said for a while: "Okay." It's up to you. After speaking, he took a sip of the tea that his son gave him without accepting money, got up and patted him on the shoulder, smiled at the money, and then walked out the door.

Zhao was about to laugh at the money not to collect, who wanted to pay the money without a slap and tied it up, Zhao was stunned, and was about to rush at his man, when the doorman said loudly: "Yang Gongzi asks to see!" ”

Qian Bushui nodded Zhao's face with his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Get back for me, if you didn't pull your son to come, where would I throw this person in front of the master, get out!" Right away!! ”

Zhao heard that the porter said that there was a guest at home, and he didn't dare to shout about not collecting money, for fear that Du Wenhao would be angry. So I had to cover my face angrily and pull my son away.

The money is not collected, Du Wenhao has already come out from the east to the door to greet the guests, so he went to the west, which is the courtyard where the subordinates live. Now the ladies are still busy greening, and they themselves will go to see if there is anything they can help with.

Du Wenhao took Yang Rui to the east of the house, Yang Rui had heard that there was a very large house outside the city, but because the price was really expensive. Therefore, the big families in the city can't give up or can't afford this money, and they belong to the former, and today I finally saw the true face of Lushan in this house, and I really regretted it in my heart.

"As soon as Yang Gongzi entered our Xiushan County, he was a big deal!" Yang Rui sighed with some envy and jealousy.

Du Wenhao: "The cheap one is about to give birth in a few days." I can't always stay in the guest search. So "I really had to do it, haha,"

Entering an archway, Du Wenhao pointed to the back of the green bamboo and said, "Young Master Yang, your grandfather lives in front, and I asked Ling Mei to wait for you at the door." I won't go with you. ”

Yang Rui also thought that this place was where Du Wenhao or his wife lived, after all, this location should be the place where the head of the family lived, Yang Rui felt some warmth in his heart, and bowed down and said, "Du Gongzi." Thanks a lot. With that, he walked straight forward.

Du Wenhao looked at Yang Rui's back and thought secretly. What kind of person is this Yang Rui. If he is really a person of good character, he will not watch his grandfather die and not save him, what if he meets someone else instead of me, Du Wenhao? If he is a despicable person, but his style of acting is different from Yang Guang, it may be the difference between the big evil and the small evil, one is deep and hidden, and the other is shallow. Forget it, don't think about it, let's see what they can say.

Yang Rui walked to the front, passed a stone arch bridge, and really saw a woman standing in front of a vermilion pillar with a pale red long skirt. The cuffs are embroidered with goose-yellow peonies, silver threads outline a few auspicious clouds, and the hem reveals a narrow circle. Densely packed with a row of white tassels, gestures like the wind blowing willows graceful, walking closer, only to see the wind bun and sideburns, light sweep of the eyebrows and eyes with spring, the skin is delicate and soft like warm jade, the cherry mouth is not dotted and red, delicate and beautiful, the cheeks of the two strands of silk gently blow with the wind to add a bit of seductive style, and the flexible eyes turn wisely, a little naughty, a little naughty, the waist is not a hand, so beautiful that Yang Rui's eyes are straight, I thought, this is not the handsome man I have seen before? It's so beautiful that it doesn't eat the fireworks of the world! Ke Yao saw that Yang Wu looked at him like a disciple, as if he was about to be seen through by him. glared at Yang Rui fiercely, and said in a bad voice: "Yang Rui, have you seen enough?" ”

Yang Rui came back to his senses at this time, bowed his head and pretended to brush the dust, but in fact he was hiding his embarrassment.

"Please also ask the public," this Du girl led the way. Yang Rui said softly and humbly.

"Miss Jing Modu, my surname is Ke, I don't know if I shout, I really can't stand you boys." As he spoke, Ke Yao turned around and walked to the door of a room.

Yang Rui was not annoyed, as if he had forgotten what he was here for, and followed behind Ke Yao with a smile, looking at her back and thinking about it.

"Master Yang, your grandson Yang Rui is here."

A trembling voice came from the room for a while: "Come in." ”

Ke Yao opened the door, only to see Yang Qianhu sitting at the desk, wearing a white jacket, a brazier beside him, a delicate incense burner on the few cases by the window, wisps of light smoke wafting from the incense burner, and a plum to be put into a blue and white porcelain long-necked bottle.

Yang Rui walked into the room, Yang Qianhu did not look up at him, but said lightly: "You sit down, the tea has been made for you." ”

Ke Yao sat on the chair by the door and didn't speak. I took a scroll that Yang Qianhu put on the table and looked at it.

Yang Rui put away the flattering smile on his previous face, became serious, walked to Yang Qianhu's desk and looked at Yang Qianhu's hand: "I thought you were unconscious, but you can still read and write in such a comfortable atmosphere, it's really not easy!" ”

Yang Qianhu put down the book in his hand, stroked his gray beard, and looked at Yang Rui with a smile: "Therefore, sincerity is endless." If it does not stop, it will be long, and if it is long, it will be levied; The journey is long. If it is far-reaching, it will be broad, and if it is broad, it will be clever. Bohou, so the load also; Brilliant. So the coverings also; It has a long history, so it is also a thing. Broad and thick with the land, smart with the sky, long and boundless. In this way, it is not seen, it does not move, it changes, and it becomes inaction. ”

Yang Rui sneered, walked to the side and sat down: "You called me here, did you want to teach me?" ”

Yang Qianhu got up and suddenly felt a little dizzy. So I had to sit down and sighed lightly: "Didn't you let Du Gongzi's concubine come over?" This girl is,,? ”

Before Ke Yao could speak, Yang Rui preemptively said, "Don't you know this girl?" Then I will introduce you to Ke Yao, she is the girl I am going to marry
