Chapter 296: The Villain's Ambition
In terms of appearance, in Yangzhou, and even in the entire Tianmu Kingdom, there is no sister who can compare with the Ye family, and in terms of family background, it is necessary to consider it more?
Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned her background, Mrs. Fang's face changed, and then she looked at Fang Hezhou in embarrassment, as if she was asking what she should say?
Fang Hezhou answered: "The princess Niangniang's question, let me answer it, she is not from a famous family, not even a businessman, she is the daughter of a farmer in Wanxi Village, sixteen miles away, and Wei Chen got acquainted when he was patrolling the people's situation, it's as simple as that." ”
After Fang Hezhou finished speaking, Ye Anran and Xigong Jue were a little stunned, they didn't expect that the wife of the dignified Yangzhou prefect turned out to be a small village girl with no family background, which was simply a fantasy in ancient feudal society.
"Huh? It turns out that Mrs. Fang is from a farmer's family? Ye Anran glanced at Mrs. Fang contemptuously and said, saying this is not because she looks down on the farmer, but because she feels that Fang Hezhou is simply a big loss if he does not marry his sister.
"Yes, Weichen has been a poor scholar since he was a child, so he can't get used to those Houmen daughters, I think two people love each other not because of how much each other is worth, what family the other party is from, but a true heart, what do you say? The princess? Speaking of this, Fang Hezhou already felt a faint pain in his heart, perhaps the biggest mistake in his life was to fall in love with Ye Anyao, one of the two beauties in Yangzhou, and she was the daughter of the richest man in Yangzhou.
"Is that so? When did Master Fang become so reasonable? I thought it was still the same bullish scholar before? Ye Anran disagreed and sneered.
"Huh? It turns out that the husband and the princess have known each other before? That Mrs. Fang obviously didn't know the delicate relationship between the two people.
"Didn't your husband say this? Are we not just old days, but almost become relatives? Ye Anran said angrily.
"Enron, that's enough." Xigong Jue warned in a low voice, Xigong Jue could see that Ye Anran was here to find fault tonight, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that there will be a quarrel for a while.
"Lord Fang, it's not too early, this king and princess are tired after a day of swimming in Slender West Lake, let's go first." Xigong Jue grabbed Ye Anran's waist and got up to say goodbye.
"Lord Wang, wait a minute." Then Fang Hezhou hurriedly entered the inner hall, took out a bag full of silver, handed it to Ye Anran and said: "Princess Niangniang, this silver was lent to me by you to go to Beijing to take the exam, and now Weichen has saved enough, and he will return it in full." ”
"No need, just one hundred taels of silver, not enough for our Ye family to drink a pot of good tea, it wasn't for her to lend you the silver in the first place, now that she is no longer here, why should you pay me back the silver?" You stay. It seems that Ye Anran doesn't seem to have any intention of returning the one hundred taels of silver.
"No, the princess should still take it, it is only right to repay the debt." Fang Hezhou seems to have moved his real character, not a joke.
"Okay, then I'll take it for An Ran first." Although I don't know what is going on with this hundred taels, but looking at Fang Hezhou, if he doesn't accept this silver, he won't let them go, so Xigong Jue took the initiative to take the silver.
"Okay, then there is Lord Lao, please go slowly." Fang Hezhou and his wife gave a slight salute and said goodbye to Xigong Jue and Ye Anran.
On the carriage back, Ye Anran was in an extremely bad mood and didn't say a word.
"Hey, you're not going to be mad at me, are you? Just because I collected this one hundred taels for you? Xigong Jue asked cautiously.
"No, it's none of your business, this Fanghe Prefecture is too hateful, if it wasn't for my sister begging me at the beginning, I really shouldn't have helped him get the official position of the prefect, lest he be so angry now." Ye Anran said indignantly.
Xigong Jue was happy: "I don't think so, you may have really done a good thing, I think that Fang Hezhou is very upright, and his family is surrounded by walls, and his sleeves are clean, maybe he is a good official." ”
"Good officer? Joke, he's an out-and-out nerd, I really don't understand what my sister liked about him at the beginning. Ye Anran was furious in his heart and scolded.
"An Ran, do you see that he is now marrying a wife and having children, and he is fighting for your sister?" Seeing through Ye Anran's careful thoughts, Xigong Jue smiled.
"You talk nonsense, I didn't, I just ...... I just don't like his villainous appearance. Ye Anran's confidence is a little insufficient.
"Where does he have the appearance of a villain, you are hostile to him, come, take the silver taels, I really can't see that you are quite rich, you can lend someone a hundred taels casually, I think you can go to the loan shark?" Xigong Jue said and handed the silver two to Ye Anran.
Looking at the one hundred taels of silver, Ye Anran remembered the original scene in his mind, that day, Xiucai didn't want to go to Beijing to take the exam because he didn't have any silver, and his mother at home was still bedridden.
rejected Ye Anyao's kindness, Xiu Xiucai stubbornly did not take Ye Anyao's silver, it was Ye Anran who temporarily thought of this way to lend him the silver, at that time, Ye Anran thought that his sister had followed him in this life.
However, the world is unpredictable, today's sister is already the high-ranking Ye Zhaoyi, and Xiucai is not the poor scholar of the past, she has become the upright prefect of Yangzhou, and God makes people.
"Tell me what's going on with those hundred taels, I'm quite interested in that Fanghe Prefecture." Xigong Jue said unprecedentedly.
"What is there to talk about, it is nothing more than that his family was poor back then, and he did not go to Beijing to catch the exam, and his mother was sick in bed again, anxious, at that time my sister was fascinated by him, and wanted to give him silver to help him, but he refused verbally, so my sister was very depressed and told me about it, I knew that although he was very poor, but he had backbone, so I used this method, saying that I would lend him the silver, and when he was in high school, I would pay me back." Ye Anran slowly talked about the past, with a little helplessness in his tone.
"Actually, when you lent it to him, you didn't think about asking him back, did you?" Nishinomiya Jue pondered.
"Well, at that time, I thought that he and his sister would definitely be together, so I didn't think about it so much, it's ironic, a year later, he actually returned the silver to me, if my sister knew...... I must be sad in my heart. Ye Anran sighed in a low voice.
"An Ran, in fact, I think your sister may want to see him live well, it is a good thing that he is now married and has children, even if he is lonely all his life? It's impossible for him and your sister anymore, so don't worry about it at this time, it will only be very tiring. For the first time in his life, Nishinomiya Jue analyzed one thing well, and his tone became gentle.
"Maybe, but I can't get over this hurdle in my heart, I always feel that if he doesn't marry his sister, he will be a negative man." Ye Anran bit his lip and said.
Subsequently, another scene appeared in Ye Anran's mind, that is, one day her sister mysteriously told her that she had a sweetheart, and her sister smiled very sweetly and happily at that time, but after entering the palace, she never saw her sister smile like that.
"Enron, what are you thinking?" Xigong Jue looked at her distracted appearance, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her.
