Chapter 28: The Habit of Broken Sleeves
In the blink of an eye, the New Year passed, and Ye Yu instructed Qiulan to go to Lai'an Mansion and move Uncle Sun, the housekeeper of the former family, to Qingliu County.
In Ye Yu's impression, Uncle Sun is an old man who has followed his father for a long time, when he broke his legs, if it weren't for Uncle Sun's repeated pleas to pick up his life, it is estimated that he would have died on the street.
Therefore, Ye Yu can't help but repay this life-saving grace. In addition, the house where he lives now has been expanded, and he also needs a housekeeper to take care of all things.
It is easy to be a domestic servant, but it is not so easy to have a trustworthy housekeeper.
After that, it was about the expansion of the dyeing workshop, which Ye Yu had already planned in his heart two months ago. The scale of the dyeing shop has constrained his pace, so how to expand the scale is his top priority.
Although the Ye family who came to Anfu has nothing to do with him, Ye Yu, who has always had clear grievances, will sooner or later settle the matter with his second uncle Ye Mengxin for this broken leg!
Ye Yu checked for a long time near Qingliu County, and finally decided to set the location of the new dyeing workshop in Toad Pond in the south of the city.
The reason why it is called Toad Pond is because there is a small low-lying pond in the south of the city, which is overgrown with weeds for many years, and because it is mostly rainy season in the south, it has become a pond full of rainwater over time.
The pond is about five acres in size, and although there are no fish and shrimp in the pond, it nourishes toads. During the summer rainy season, there are often toads here.
Ye Yu felt that although this piece of land was not very flat, as long as it was properly landfilled, there would be no problem in building a dyeing workshop. Moreover, because this land is not very flat, it should be affordable for him in terms of price.
Otherwise, if such a large piece of land is a good piece of land, with his current financial resources, although he can buy it, it is also stretched.
So Ye Yu told Su Quanzhong about his thoughts, wanting to hear Su Quanzhong's opinion. But when Su Quanzhong listened to Ye Yu's decision, Su Quanzhong shook his head with his eyebrows tightly locked.
After Ye Yu asked the reason, he realized that there was another tricky thing in it.
The owner of this piece of land is named Zhou Lao Er, and he opened a tavern in the city. Zhou Lao Er also wanted to fill in the pit and build a winery, but as soon as he filled in the soil of the two carriages, Pan Chengfeng, the second master of the Pan family, suddenly sent someone over.
It is said that the five elements of Pan Erye belong to water, and it is most taboo that there is soil and water in the east of the house, and you can fill the pit with Zhou Laoer, but you must not use soil. Although this land belonged to Zhou Laoer, how could he dare to provoke the Pan family's forces, so he had to stop work and not mention the matter.
Ye Yu recalled that when he checked the Toad Pond, he did see a mansion of considerable scale on the west side of the Toad Pond.
At first, he didn't care, but now that he heard Su Quanzhong say this, he knew that it was Pan Chengfeng's residence. However, Ye Yu did not delve too deeply into whether Pan Chengfeng was short of water in the Five Elements, or whether he deliberately chose to build a house there.
Because Ye Yu has this so-called Feng Shui knowledge, although he doesn't say that he denies it completely, he will not believe in this science of nothingness.
Now it seems that the land of the toad pond has become a piece of chicken ribs, which can be described as a pity to abandon the tasteless food. If you buy this piece of land to fill in the toad pond, you will innocently provoke Pan Chengfeng.
Although Ye Yu is not afraid of the Pan family now, there is no need to add unnecessary trouble. But if he didn't fill in the toad pond, he wouldn't be able to build a dyeing workshop when he bought this land.
I have to say that this is an extremely tricky matter, Ye Yu, who was originally in high spirits, has now regained his previous calmness, and he needs to think of a perfect plan.
During this period, Su Quanzhong went to negotiate with Pan Chengfeng instead of Ye Yu, but the reply he got made Ye Yu very annoyed.
It turned out that Pan Chengfeng finally agreed to let Ye Yu fill in the toad pond, but in order to make up for the feng shui defect, Ye Yu needed to provide him with the recipe for dyeing the cloth.
After Ye Yu heard this reply, he rejected this consultation on the spot! Xindao You Pan Chengfeng really think that he is the soil emperor of Qingliu County, it is natural for Lao Tzu to buy land and fill in the soil, and your damn sentence is detrimental to feng shui, so you will be led by the nose?
However, Ye Yu, who was angry, also knew that he was weak now, and if he really made a big deal about it, even if he was the reasonable party, he might not be able to get out in the end.
There is no so-called fairness in this world, especially in the case of such a disparity in strength, the law will be tilted because of this, and it will lose its due justice! In the end, Ye Yu sighed, this matter has to be discussed in the long run!
……
In the past few days, the Mei'er girl from the drunken Spring Building has visited Ye Yu's home many times. Mei'er came here so often, which made Ye Yu feel very helpless.
Although it is the most popular fashion to linger in the Qinglou and interact with courtesans, Ye Yu is extremely unaccustomed to it. But since he agreed to teach the other party music, he can't be untrustworthy.
However, since Ye Yu asked for it last time, Mei'er has been a little more disciplined when she came to the house several times.
In the living room, Mei'er, who was wearing a cloak, sat on the side, quietly watching Ye Yu, her eyes full of glamorous feelings. And Ye Yu picked up a few silk-foot musical instruments brought by Mei'er for a while and then put them down gently.
Then he glanced up at Mei'er and asked softly, "Miss Mei'er, I don't know what kind of musical instrument you are good at?" ”
Mei'er looked at Ye Yu stupidly, smiled intently, and said lightly with deep meaning: "Good at!" ”
"Blow...... Xiao ...... "Ye Yu didn't feel anything at first, but seeing Mei'er with a provocative look, he suddenly felt a little weird.
This made Ye Yu feel that he was going to put his eyes on his abdomen, wondering if he was thinking too much?
"Why, the official is questioning Mei'er's skills? It's better for Mei'er to blow it to the official once......" Mei'er said and was about to get up and walk in the direction of Ye Yu.
"Stop! ......" Ye Yu hurriedly shouted to stop, he felt that the more he heard this, the more he felt that it was wrong.
forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and then coughed dryly: "Ye believes that Miss Mei'er is, since you can blow the flute, it saves a lot of effort, because this song is best played with a hole flute!" I'll improvise a few times right now and record the score for you! ”
Ye Yu stopped paying attention to Mei'er as he spoke, picked up the hole flute on the table and played the tune of the drunken spring building that day. The sound of the flute is melodious and tactful, and the slightest grip is intoxicating.
At the end of the song, Mei'er hid her face and said with a smile: "The officials claimed that they didn't know how to play musical instruments that day, but now this bamboo flute is used freely in the hands of the officials, but it is really hard for the slave family to coax!" ”
Ye Yu didn't respond, but handed the already recorded score to Mei'er: "Mei'er girl, this is the recorded score, you will know it when you go back and practice twice!" ”
"Oh? So how do you know it? ”
Mei'er got up as she spoke, swayed and walked to Ye Yu's side, the jade lotus wrapped around Ye Yu's left arm, and a charming smile came out: "Why don't you touch ......?"
As soon as he saw that this Mei'er began to ripple again, Ye Yu was also speechless for a while. Although the soul of the heart is in his twenties, this body is only seventeen years old, and he is a minor in the next life, and it is not good for the body to indulge in **** prematurely.
Besides, even if he had this kind of thought, he wouldn't go to a prostitute in a green house! If it weren't for the fact that this Mei'er still had something to use, he would have driven it out long ago.
"Okay, Miss Mei'er, it's getting late, you should go back!"
Ye Yu spread Mei'er's arms and pushed the wheelchair to the side.
Seeing that Ye Yu was still unmoved, Mei'er still said unyieldingly softly: "Official......"
"Young Master, Miss Su is here!" At this moment, Qiulan walked in.
Qiulan's arrival made Ye Yu breathe a sigh of relief, and then said softly: "There is a guest visiting, Miss Mei'er, please please!" ”
"In that case, that Mei'er will visit another day!"
Mei'er saw that this situation was already boring, so she glanced at Qiulan angrily, and then twisted her slender willow waist and walked away.
Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qiulan: "Qiulan, please invite Miss Su into the hall for a while!" ”
Although the words were said, Qiu Lan stood motionless in the hall, Ye Yufeng frowned slightly and was about to ask, Qiu Lan did smile: "Miss Su is busy in the shop, how can I have time to visit the young master......
"Eha, it turns out that Qiulan is tricking me!" Ye Yu, who came back to his senses, realized that he had been deceived by Qiulan.
Qiu Lan then suddenly had a pretty face, puffed out her cheeks and said, "It's not that I'm worried that you will be eaten by that vixen, so I made a little joke!" ”
"You girl, you're getting more and more eccentric! But your joke really saved me! ”
"Phew! That vixen is shameless! As soon as Qiulan thought of these days, Mei'er's words and deeds were debauched, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of disdain.
Seeing Qiulan scolding Mei'er like this, Ye Yu pretended to be displeased and said, "Eh, Qiulan, how can you slander others behind your back?" ”
"Young master, she's like that...... You also speak for her...... You're really fascinated by that vixen......" Qiulan looked at her young master, helping others to blame herself, and suddenly stomped her feet angrily.
Ye Yu saw this situation, and immediately became happy: "When did I speak for her, if she is really a vixen......"
"Young master, Qiulan doesn't understand!"
"It's just a gut feeling, by the way, Miss Su has been so busy lately, and the ready-to-wear store seems to be doing well?" Ye Yu didn't want to say anything more on this issue, but shifted the topic to the ready-to-wear shop.
Speaking of the Su family's garment shop, Qiu Lan suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "Young master, there is something very strange!" ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" Ye Yu poured himself a cup of tea, blew the hot air gently, and then looked up at Qiulan and asked.
Then Qiulan told Ye Yu what she heard, it turned out that there was a strange thing in Qingliu County recently.
The reason why it is called a strange thing is that many young men are attacked by gangsters at night, and the gangsters do not rob money or ask for their lives, but only knock them unconscious and tear off one of their sleeves.
After Su Yueyun heard the person who repaired the clothes tell about this, she told Qiulan about this strange incident.
After Ye Yu heard this strange thing, his first thought was whether this gangster had a habit of breaking his sleeves? No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what the real intention of this gangster was, and in the end he had to ignore the matter.
After all, this matter of arresting the murderer is an errand in the yamen that has nothing to do with him, so why should he bother with this idleness.
However, the matter of Tong Guò made him think of a solution to the construction of the dyeing workshop.
Since the clothes are repaired and made, there is no need to do it yourself. The big pit in the toad pond, why do you have to fill it yourself......
