Volume 1: Who Breaks the Void by the Stars Chapter 75 May I give a heavy gift as a thanksgiving ceremony
"Xiang'er, Xiang'er, why are you still here!"
Chunming trotted over, and when he saw Hibiki who was happily packing up his little sachet, he screamed.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you know what to do, your relatives came to look for you, saying that they were your uncle, and they were looking for you for four or five years, and then they heard about you and wanted to redeem you and bring you back!"
Xiang'er panicked when she heard this, got up and said, "I'm not going back!" ”
Xiang'er has almost no impression of her family, when she was only five or six years old, she was sold to the Ye family, Ye Si bought her, left her to "serve" Ye Chang, but brought her deed to Bianzhou. Therefore, the only one she is closest to is Ye Chang, and now she still remembers that she was young at that time, and she couldn't convince the servant that she couldn't take care of herself, Ye Chang was like a brother to her sister, and she depended on her for her life.
In the past six months, Ye Chang has treated her even more gently, and she almost doesn't want to do chores at home. Xiang'er sometimes feels that the daughters of big families in the village may not be as happy as herself. Serving Ye Chang was something she was willing to do, and she wasn't happy to change someone else to do it.
At this time, relatives from nowhere actually wanted to look for him!
Thinking of this, Xiang'er's little heart panicked, for her, Ye Chang is a relative, and everyone else is a stranger.
"I still have to go and talk to Da Lang, you can go back to the village first." Chunming threw this sentence and hurriedly ran towards the valley again.
Xiang'er didn't want to go to the village, she panicked in place for a while, and then made up her mind: hide!
As long as you avoid this day, those people are all outsiders, and they must not be in Wu Zepi every day, and when they leave, in short, they will not leave Da Lang's side even if they die!
With this idea, the little girl hid, and the atmosphere was a little strange above Ye Si's guest hall in the village.
"Why haven't you been here for so long?" Lu said with a smile: "This little girl has always been clever, I'm afraid I'm just stupid with joy today." ”
Ye Si also laughed with him: "Zheng Langjun, please don't be impatient." ”
"Don't worry, rest assured, I've waited for four or five years, so what's the point of waiting a little longer?"
The person who spoke was dressed in brocade, and he had fine skin and tender flesh, which was somewhat similar to Xiang'er, and he said this, but there was an anxious look between his eyebrows. Speaking of this, he sighed again: "It's really an unfortunate change in the family, and I don't have to get out until now, otherwise I won't be able to wait for this time - the sister is also a person who is waited for at home, how can her daughter serve others?" ”
"Zheng Langjun rest assured, over the years, a certain Xiang'er has been treated as his own, and he has not let her do anything serious." Ye Si smiled and said, "You'll find out when you ask later...... It's just that Xiang'er may not be willing to leave my house, and Zheng Langjun doesn't have the contract in his hand, so there is still some trouble in this matter. ”
That Zheng Langjun rolled his eyes and showed anger: "My sister is just this bit of blood and bones, and now she is out, and she is among the maidservants, could it be that Ye Langjun still wants me not to take her back?" I, Xingyang Zheng, am I a servant! ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Langjun got up, full of anger, as if he was about to leave immediately. Ye Si saw this and hurriedly got up: This Zheng Langjun is not something he can offend!
Just now he inquired, this Zheng Langjun is a member of the Zheng family in Xingyang, the Zheng family in Xingyang has always been a big family, and there are countless officials in the clan, and he is one of the representatives of the Wang clan in Shandong. A few years ago, due to some hidden reasons, his family was in the middle of the road, so a few years ago, he saw his sister's family in distress and couldn't lend a hand, but now it is not, the family is revived, and he can finally come to "save" his sister's orphans.
Ye Sixin has seven points for this kind of rhetoric and three points for doubt, but this Zheng Langjun, whether it is dressed or talking, does have the condescending nobility of a family: he is very polite and hazy on the surface, but in fact he is arrogant.
Therefore, Ye Si hurriedly got up and bowed his hand to apologize: "Zheng Langjun forgives his sins, forgives his sins, if he has the certificate of the year, he naturally has nothing to say, but now he ......"
"Ah Lang, Da Lang is here!" At this moment, Lu Quan reported at the door.
"Let him in." Ye Si's words were interrupted, but he was not angry, Ye Chang is here, Xiang'er should also be here, seeing Xiang'er, Zheng Langjun's anger should be suppressed.
Ye Chang came in, to be honest, he really didn't want to salute, but this is the case in this era, it's not just a matter of calling "adult", he has to bow respectfully and salute the Lu family again.
This is also one of the reasons why Ye Chang is in a hurry to cut off the relationship with Ye Si, there is a father above, and the father still doesn't know where to get a young lady, so he is naturally tied down when he starts to do things. For example, he wanted to set up a printing shop, which was already close to success, but because Ye Si and Lu came back and dismissed all the craftsmen, it was delayed.
It wasn't until he came back that he secretly summoned the craftsman back, but this time it was in the name of the paper mill. Fortunately, the previous pottery characters are still there, so the progress has been delayed for a few days, but success is just around the corner.
"Xiang'er, why didn't Xiang'er come with you?" Ye Si asked.
Chunming said she came first...... Why, didn't arrive? Ye Chang was also taken aback: "What's going on?" ”
Zheng Langjun over there was suddenly angry: "What a boldness, you dare to hide my niece!" ”
Ye Si's head was suddenly as big as a fight, originally he called Ye Chang to come, just to show some "family affection" in front of Ye Chang, isn't Ye Chang inseparable from Xiang'er, help him keep Xiang'er, even if he can't keep it, as long as he feels that he is helping him, then it's okay.
But Zheng Langjun's attack made him really a little afraid.
This Zheng Langjun didn't come alone, there were followers and servants he brought outside, and there were more than 20 of them. The pomp and circumstance of his housekeeper is bigger than Ye Sidu, which really angers him, but it is not good.
"Zheng Langjun is angry, angry, I think Xiang'er was happy for a while, I forgot to come over, Chunming, you stupid boy who knows how to eat, don't go to find Xiang'er, carefully Xiang'er a hair, if it is missing, I will definitely uncover your skin!"
Chunming ran out of the house again aggrievedly, Ye Chang's face was gloomy, and he turned his face to look at Zheng Langjun, who was still angry: "Who is Jun, why are you yelling at my house!" ”
"A certain Xingyang Zheng family's son, Xiang'er is my niece, and today I will redeem her for ten times the value and return home." As soon as Zheng Langjun opened his mouth, he was "Xingyang Zheng's", although his tone was quite gentle, and he was even ten times more valuable, but his arrogance came to his face, and he could almost see it.
Ye Chang sneered: "Xingyang Zheng Clan...... Abandoned Xiang'er at the beginning, and now he wants to redeem it? ”
"There were changes in the family back then, so there was nothing we could do, and now it's not too late to make amends." Zheng Langjun looked Ye Chang up and down: "I heard that you have taken care of my poor niece quite a lot over the years, I have remembered this virtue, and I should repay it in the future." ”
Ye Chang's face was gloomy, and Ye Si next to him sighed, came up and grabbed his arm: "Da Lang, this Zheng Langjun is also for Xiang'er's good, Xiang'er is in our family, after all, she is just a maid, but when she returns to the Zheng family, she is the little lady of the Zheng family, who dares to despise her?" I know that you and Xiang'er are like brothers and sisters, but just for Xiang'er's future future, I can only let her go back......"
Ye Chang hesitated for a while, and then sighed: "I'll go find Xiang'er!" ”
Seeing that Ye Chang was convinced, Ye Si was happy in his heart, and after Ye Chang left, he chatted with Zheng Langjun. Zheng Langjun was urgent, and after only chatting for two sentences, he urged: "My niece's body deed is still with you, why don't you take it out with me, there are ten gold collars and ten silver collars here, which are more than ten times the value of the sale back then, so as to compensate you, how about it?" ”
He gestured, and the servant who followed him held a brocade box, and when the lid of the box was opened, there was a row of gold collars and a row of silver collars. Ye Si and Lu Shi glanced at each other, and they couldn't suppress their joy: this gold and silver collar is worth more than three hundred yuan, which is far more than Xiang'er's worth!
You need to know that it is a strong servant, that is, the price of twenty or thirty times!
The two of them were doing business in Bianzhou, and they knew very well that they had taken a big advantage, and Ye Si was still waiting to resign, but Lu couldn't help but take the brocade box, and entered with the brocade box. That Zheng Langjun didn't stop him, he still looked arrogant and domineering, clearly saying that if you dare to swallow up and don't admit it, your Ye family will inevitably be ruined.
After a while, Lu Shi turned out, but she only took a piece of paper in her hand, she handed it to Ye Si, and Ye Si handed it to that Zheng Langjun.
Zheng Langjun was very happy to get the deed, he waited left and right, and saw that Ye Chang had not come back, so he got up and said: "I still have something urgent today, I can't wait any longer, since the deed has been given to me, let Xiang'er stay in your mansion for a while, and I will pick her up in a few days." ”
He was originally in a hurry to take Xiang'er away, but at this time, he said that there was something urgent, and Ye Si and the Lu family couldn't help but be suspicious in their hearts. But thinking of the twenty gold and silver collars, Ye Si also deliberately glanced at the Lu family, and the Lu family nodded to indicate that she had already inspected it, and it was indeed real gold and silver. The two of them didn't have much to say, so they could only watch Zheng Langjun leave with his own people.
"The situation is a little wrong, this Zheng Langjun is just aggressive, why did he stop after getting the deed?" Lu frowned and said, "Husband, tell me...... What is the reason for this? ”
"For whatever reason, the twenty gold and silver collars will never be bad." Ye Si was also uneasy in his heart, but he cheered himself up and said: "Let's take care of Xiang'er these days, and treat him as his own little mother." If we rely on Xiang'er's relationship, we get acquainted with the powerful people in the Zheng family in Xingyang, and then go back to Bianzhou to do business, we can regain our contacts. ”
"It really deserves to be a character of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and he is so bold in his shot, he didn't see a single copper, it was all gold and silver. Look at the gold and silver quality, tsk, it was rare in Bianzhou, and it was clearly given by the imperial court......"
The two of them waited for a long time, but they didn't see Ye Chang come back, and the topic of the two returned to the person surnamed Zheng, they were muttering, and they heard a sudden commotion outside, and then, a group of errands came to the door menacingly, including a patriarch Ye Dan with a strange expression.
"This ...... What's going on? Ye Si hurriedly ushered in, and saw that Ye Quan had been tied up by Wuhuada.
"Si nephew, what are you...... What's going on? Ye Dan has now taken over Liu Fengyin's position and has become Lizheng, he coughed, his expression was very complicated: "Why did someone sue you and say that you ...... Say you're blackmailing? ”
"Blackmail? Where does this begin? Ye Si said in a panic.
"When I went to the countryside to urge grain today, I never thought that I would encounter such a case."
I saw that both sides of the errand officer flashed out, and an official walked out, and Ye Dan arched his hand to the officer: "Zhong officer!" ”
This Zhong official is Ye Chang's acquaintance, Zhong Wei Zhong Huawen, he looked at Ye Si sideways: "Your case has happened, come with me to the county seat!" ”
"Ah, why did the official say this, what kind of crime did a certain person commit?"
"You still ask me? Someone has sued you for abducting people and blackmailing gold and silver! ”
"Where is the plaintiff, he is really wronged!" Ye Si chuckled in his heart and shouted loudly.
"So-and-so is the plaintiff!" I saw another person walking out after the errand service, it was Zheng Langjun who was just that!
"Oh? Zheng Langjun, you ...... You...... How are you? Ye Si actually vaguely guessed a little, but when the facts really appeared in front of him, he still felt that it was difficult to accept, he felt that he had a good conversation with this Zheng Langjun, why did he turn his head and turn his face, and sue him?
"You received the gold and silver of a certain person, but did not hand it over to a certain person, fortunately, soon after leaving the village, you met a bell official from the county seat, if not, wouldn't you have suffered a big loss!"
"Didn't I already have Xiang'er's identity with you?" Ye Sidao.
"Xiang'er's body contract is with me, what about the rest?"
"What the rest of the people, etc.?"
"The rest of your household!" That Zheng Langjun looked angry: "I just wanted Xiang'er alone, you desperately said that there are many servants in the family, and you are about to be dismissed, so I paid the gold and silver, but you have to repay the debt, only the deed with me, and this person, only the deed has not been seen!" ”
"This ...... This...... You are talking nonsense! ”
Ye Si suddenly felt wronged, where did all this start!
"You still have to cheat, don't you deceive me as a foreigner? I am a disciple of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and my Zheng family has countless achievements, and I can send you to see the official with just one letter! ”
Although he was dissatisfied with Zheng Langjun's arrogance, Zhong Wei knew that what he said was definitely not false. Although Datang intends to suppress the Shandong family, the Zheng family is still a high-ranking family in Datang, and there are many prime ministers, as for generals, Sima, joining the army, and other drivers, there are countless of them. It's really not a big deal to get him to the handle, and to clean up a Ye family.
"Nothing happens, officer, nothing happens!" Over there, the Lu family was also accustomed to showing his face when he was in Zhengzhou, so he didn't avoid it, and shouted when he heard the words: "He thanked my family for taking in his niece, so he presented Xie Yi!" ”
"Where is Xie Yi?" Zhong Wei asked.
Lu glanced at Ye Si with a little panic, Ye Si nodded with a gloomy face, so Lu went in again. After a while, she came out with two gold ingots: "Xie Yi is here." ”
"Huh?" Then Zheng Langjun was anxious: "It's obviously ten gold ingots, ten silver ingots, why are there only two ingots!" ”
"Search!" Halfway through, Zhong Wei and the messenger were fed by Zheng Langjun, and after hearing this, he immediately said loudly.
