Chapter 104: Wei Zhongdao's Conspiracy

After Ye Chen left Zhang's mansion, the news spread, and half of the credit for how the news could get out quickly was Zhang Rang's credit, and it was Zhang Rang who instructed his subordinates to spread the news.

Zhang Rang's approach is very understandable, that is, to let Ye Chen completely become a person on his side, so that he does not have the opportunity to step on two boats.

In fact, Ye Chen didn't have that idea, if he wanted to find someone else to take refuge, then only the butcher He Jin, but He Jin was not a person from the same way, even if he went to take refuge, he would only bring humiliation on himself.

The Ye family's spies here received the news and reported it to Ye Chen as soon as possible. Ye Chen didn't react when he heard it, such results were both good and bad.

The benefits are obvious, no one in the Ye family dares to move casually, except for He Jin and his gang, no one dares to hit the attention of the Ye family now, of course, this is on the surface, but secretly it is not so particular.

The disadvantage is that Ye Chen has been completely excluded in the family, business can be done, don't think about the rest, it is not so easy to recruit talents and ask people to do things.

Ye Chen can't take care of it so much, with a little change in the county, if he wants to keep it, how can no one in the court do it, maybe one day someone else will take a fancy to the family business in the county and use his power to take it.

The main thing to come to Luoyang has been done, and he is not in a hurry to go back, so Ye Chen plans to visit Luoyang, and it is not in vain to come all the way.

Early in the morning, Ye Chen went out alone in a long robe, and Tai Shici was not very interested in this kind of thing, he would rather practice martial arts in the courtyard.

At this time, Luoyang's popularity is still very high, and there is no decay in other places, although the commoners here live a very hard life, but at least they can eat, and those nobles don't need to say much, every day is still a day of purple drunkenness.

Ye Chen wandered around the street alone without a purpose, looking at the customs of the capital of the Han Dynasty.

"Isn't this Brother Ye? What a coincidence.

”

Ye Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard someone call him, this Luoyang has met acquaintances one after another, the other party is Wei Zhongdao, he went to the Ye family to see it, but this person's attitude towards him is not very good, and he actually took the initiative to greet him today.

"It's Brother Wei, what a coincidence." Ye Chen also hurriedly greeted others, not to mention how it used to be, now that people take the initiative to greet you, you can't help but bird people.

"It's a coincidence, I don't know where Brother Ye is going."

"There is no goal, just to come to Luoyang for the first time and go shopping."

"Oh, since this is the case, why don't you lead the way for Brother Ye below, I often come to this Luoyang, and I am still more familiar with it."

Ye Chen suddenly felt weird, the so-called if things are abnormal, there must be demons, this Wei Zhongdao was not interested in himself at all when he was in Liaodong, he hadn't seen him for a while, how much had he changed?

Ye Chen just thought of a reason to refuse, but Wei Zhongdao actually came over and took his hand and said, "Let's go, Brother Ye, it's okay to go down or right, I'm going to visit Uncle Cai in the afternoon, I'll take you around first." After speaking, he couldn't help but say, pulled Ye Chen and left.

In this way, Ye Chen couldn't refuse anymore, so he followed Wei Zhongdao and started shopping.

Wei Zhongdao was really familiar with Luoyang, took him to visit many more famous places, and invited him to have dinner at noon, and after the meal, he drank tea and rested in a teahouse, and at ten o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Chen was going to say goodbye and leave, but he was forced to stay by Wei Zhongdao.

"Brother Ye, I see that you have nothing to do, and I talked to you quite a lot today, I was about to visit Uncle Cai, why don't you go with me, this Uncle Cai is very optimistic about the talented juniors, and he is also happy to help."

This time it was still like in the morning, without waiting for Ye Chen to refuse, Wei Zhongdao pulled him and left.

Ye Chen didn't think that Wei Zhongdao really talked to him, although Wei Zhongdao was very enthusiastic about him along the way, but he was a little insincere, and there was no such eager gaze in his eyes, but disgust.

"Whatever you do, I'll do it." Ye Chen thought secretly in his heart.

Wei Zhongdao took Ye Chen to a mansion, where all the dignitaries lived. The two stopped under a mansion, and it said Cai Mansion, this is Uncle Cai that Wei Zhongdao is going to visit.

The gatekeeper actually knew Wei Zhongdao, said hello to him and went in to report, and after a while, Ye Chen and Wei Zhongdao were invited in.

Entering this courtyard, it is not full of gold and jade as imagined, but it looks very elegant, and it seems that the owner of this courtyard is also a person with taste.

The two were led to the living room, where there were several people talking, all of them were elderly people, and an old man in the main hall was about fifty, with a thin face, good spirits, very elegant, and a literati atmosphere.

"Uncle Cai, the little nephew is here to disturb again." Wei Zhongdao said with a salute to the old man above.

The other party seemed to have a good impression of him, holding his beard and nodding at him.

Next, the old man surnamed Cai introduced Wei Zhongdao to the others, and Wei Zhongdao seemed to have a good reputation among these people, so they nodded to him and said hello.

And Ye Chen was temporarily forgotten aside, Wei Zhongdao didn't introduce him, and the rest didn't ask much.

waited until they greeted for a long time, but there was still nothing wrong with Ye Chen.

The old man surnamed Cai is a little strange, the person brought by Wei Zhongdao has been here for a long time and does not introduce him, which is quite rude.

After all, the old man is the master's family, and he can't always hang others, so he said to Wei Zhongdao: "This little friend has never seen it, and the one brought by Zhongdao must be a young handsome." "This old man surnamed Cai spoke very well, and he praised it without introduction.

Wei Zhongdao listened to the words of the old man surnamed Cai, his face changed, and he hurriedly stayed away from Ye Chen, as if Ye Chen was a plague god and did not stand with him.

Everyone felt strange and looked at Wei Zhongdao with inquiring eyes.

Wei Zhongdao stood still and said, "This person Ye Chen of the Ye family, the little nephew met at the door. ”

Ye Chen's face changed when he heard this, knowing that he had been cheated by this kid, but Ye Chen quickly recovered and quickly adjusted his mood.

Wei Zhongdao's words also made the faces of several people present change, and there was a wave of disgust in Ye Chen's eyes. The old man surnamed Cai's face also became unnatural.

Now Ye Chen understands that Wei Zhongdao has set up a game early in the morning, and it is clear that he wants to trap him, and the actions he made and the words he said just made himself clear, everyone thought that Ye Chen met Wei Zhongdao who was about to come in at the door, and then followed him cheekily.

I think Wei Zhongdao already knew about his visit to Zhang Rang yesterday, and everyone present also heard about it. What Ye Chen didn't know was that not long ago, a few people talked about him, saying that they thought he was a young talent who could make a few good poems, but he didn't expect that he would collude with Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, and they were all sorry for him.

Everyone didn't speak, they all looked at Ye Chen, at this time Ye Chen's face had returned to normal, he didn't want to refute, as soon as he refuted and quarreled with Wei Zhongdao, he fell to the lower level, everyone was preconceived, and Ye Chen did see Zhang Rang last night and gave a generous gift, no matter how he explained, he wouldn't believe him.

Wei Zhongdao was afraid that others would not know about him, so he said in a downland: "Uncle, my Wei family had business dealings with the Ye family before, and I never thought that this Ye Chen would be in a group with the eunuchs, and I will definitely cut off contact with the Ye family after I go back." Wei Zhongdao said that he was full of righteous indignation, afraid that others would not know his position.

"Cut off contact with the Ye family?" Ye Chen sneered in his heart, not to mention whether you can represent the Wei family, even if you can, I don't know who the final loss is.

Ye Chen just wanted to watch the clown, watching Wei Zhongdao's performance, anyway, he didn't know the people in front of him, even if they had a bad impression, it would be bad, he was already mentally prepared when he went to see Zhang Rang.

It's just that what made Ye Chen very unhappy was that he was put on a stand by Wei Zhongdao. Thinking about it, Ye Chen didn't know where to offend him until now, when they were in Liaodong, the two met for the first time, and Wei Zhongdao was lukewarm to Ye Chen as soon as they met.

As the host, Ye Chen also tried to befriend Wei Zhongdao, but he really didn't give Ye Chen a good face, so Ye Chen gave up, but he didn't offend him either.

If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, anyway, the two of them are married, Ye Chen will definitely retaliate, being bullied and humiliated like this, Ye Chen is not so good-tempered.

The old man surnamed Cai showed a displeased look when he heard Wei Zhongdao's words, and he didn't know why he was displeased, maybe it was because of Ye Chen, maybe because of Wei Zhongdao's words.

"Zhongdao, you sit on the side first."

Wei Zhongdao thanked him for hearing this, sat down on the chair next to him, and sneered at Ye Chen's successful conspiracy.

After all, the old man surnamed Cai had self-cultivation, he didn't scold Ye Chen, nor did he drive Ye Chen out, but he was sure that he didn't want to see him. After Wei Zhongdao sat down, the old man surnamed Cai looked at Ye Chen.

"Let's call you Ye Chen, I don't know if I'm uninvited, but what's wrong?"

Ye Chen really didn't know how to answer this, because Ye Chen didn't even know the other party's name and identity.

"Mr. Cai is an elegant person, he has admired him for a long time, he passed by your mansion and came to pay a visit, and he has nothing to do." Ye Chen really couldn't find the words to answer, he knew that his answer was very poor, and maybe it would be disgusting, because Ye Chen's identity was incompatible with the other party.

"Ye Chen, you are covered in copper stench, and you are in the same stream as that eunuch, Lord Cai is a famous person, how can you meet him." Before the old man surnamed Cai could speak, Wei Zhongdao hurriedly scolded.

When the old man surnamed Cai heard Wei Zhongdao's words, he said very unhappily: "Zhongdao stop, everyone who comes is a guest, how can he be treated like this." ”

Ye Chen glanced at Wei Zhongdao with great pity, not because the old man surnamed Cai scolded him, but because he was still a little kid, immature, and had already caused a lot of trouble. He dared to openly scold Zhang Rang and other eunuchs in front of everyone, if it was spread out, let alone him, his entire family would be in trouble.

Compared to the old man surnamed Cai, he was much more mature, and after scolding Wei Zhongdao, he said to Ye Chen: "I, Cai Yong, am just a scholar, thank you for your love, and now you have also visited, thank you here, but my Cai Mansion is not a high-level courtyard, and I dare not keep a guest, so as not to neglect Your Excellency." ”

"It turned out to be Cai Yong." Ye Chen sighed secretly in his heart, this is also reasonable, looking at the layout of the courtyard is so elegant, this Cai Wenji will marry Wei Zhongdao, it turns out that the two of them have known each other for a long time.
