Chapter 09: Smoky Hills
Smoky Hills.
As the manor where the Ye family lives, it is built magnificently, and even the entire Anyang City is centered on this villa. Before the establishment of Yanxia Villa, this place was a barren land.
Anyang started from the Ye family and gradually became a city.
It's night, and the cold moon hangs high.
In the hospitality hall of the Ye family, above the main seat, there was a man in brocade, nearly thirty years old, and his face was still somewhat similar to Ye Qiuqi. At this moment, he was holding his chin in one hand, with some sadness between his eyebrows, and a cup of tea in the other hand, which had been cold for a long time, but he never raised it.
This person is the current head of the Ye family, Ye Qiusheng.
"He left home for Tongzhou five years ago and never came back. ”
Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to another person on the side seat, "I heard that he has also made meritorious contributions in southern Xinjiang, and his reputation is gradually rising." At this time, a letter asks him to come back to Anyang, will he?"
"Hoo ......"
On the side seat, a middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again. If Qin Chuan was here, he would definitely recognize this person, it was the Dark Gate Fire Banner Master, Deng Yuanbo.
At this time, Deng Yuanbo, dressed in gorgeous clothes, had no evil spirit:
"My master said that he will definitely come. ”
After that, Deng Yuanbo didn't say anything more, stood up, and bowed without humility or arrogance, "Master Ye, the marriage of the little girl will bother you Zhang Luo." ”
A seemingly bland word, but it gives people an incomparably evil feeling.
The word "marriage" is deliberately aggravated a lot.
Laughing twice, Deng Yuanbo glanced at Ye Qiusheng, shook his sleeves, and walked towards the door. The guest of the Ye family that Ade said in the morning was him. What outsiders don't know is that at this time, in the Yanxia Villa, there are already many Dark Sect members disguised as servants and entourage, hiding in it.
A conspiracy is quietly being planned.
......
Following.
Qin Chuan had just gotten up, and there was a knock outside the door.
"Immortal Chief!"
It was Ade's voice, so urgent, thinking about it, it should be that his lady hadn't woken up yet. However, this was naturally expected by Qin Chuan, so he answered and let Ade into the house.
"Immortal Chief, my lady is still in a coma at this time, isn't it ......?"
"Rest assured. ”
Seeing Ade's somewhat flustered appearance, Qin Chuan smiled, "This is the medicine I made you boil yesterday to produce medicinal effects, and it must be in the process of solving the Gu at this moment." When she wakes up, she'll be able to recover. ”
"Oh, Immortal Chief, are you going to go to the Ye family?"
Hearing Qin Chuan's words, Ade Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw Qin Chuan tidying up his clothes, he asked out again.
"Not bad. ”
Qin Chuan answered, put the letter given to him by Su Quan into his arms, and then walked out of the door and patted Ade's shoulder, "When your lady wakes up, give her another medicine, and she will be able to recover as before." If there is any illness, I will deal with it when I come back. ”
"Thank you for the immortal. ”
Ade saluted again.
Qin Chuan shook his head, asked the location of Yanxia Villa, and walked into Anyang City.
This time when I went to the Ye family, in addition to doing what the Su family had entrusted me, I also had to inquire about who the former owner of the pear orchard was. I don't know if Ye Qiuqi's eldest brother is as easy to talk to as him.
If it is like what Ade said, Ye Qiusheng intends to exclude Ye Qiuqi, then if he goes to talk about Ye Qiuqi's marriage, I am afraid that he will not be welcomed. However, it still depends on how Ye Qiusheng behaves, and there is no one right or wrong in the power struggle, but I don't know, on the surface, the head of the Ye family is not friendly.
"Leave it to fate. ”
With a sigh, Qin Chuan stopped thinking about it.
Yanxia Villa is in the center of this Anyang City, but it is not difficult to find, and after a while, it is outside the gate of the villa. I saw that the momentum was magnificent, and it might as well be more than the Confucian Garden, there were countless cars and horses in front of the door, and people came and went, all of them were some Confucian businessmen, and the reputation and status in the world were not low.
The prosperity of the Ye family can be seen.
"Do you have a greeting?"
As soon as he reached the door, a guard greeted him and saluted respectfully.
"Yes. ”
Qin Chuan responded and handed over the Su family's greeting post. In Jingzhou City, the Su family is a family of merchants, and they have an intersection with Confucianism, and Su Xiaoyan is practicing in Luoyan Peak in the family, coupled with the kinship with the now famous Shangguan Yao, it is naturally considered to have some status, and it will not be rejected by the Ye family.
Sure enough, after the guard saw the prayer post clearly, he saluted again and entered the village to spread the word.
After a while, a figure who was an elder came out, and greeted Qin Chuan into the villa in the envious eyes of a bunch of people with sad faces outside the door.
"I don't know what happened to the VIPs coming from Jingzhou?"
The elder led Qin Chuan, walked in the corridor in the village, and asked.
"Uh...... In this matter, it is more convenient to talk to the head of the family. ”
Qin Chuan responded. Ye Qiuqi's parents died, his eldest brother was like his father, and his marriage was a major event, so he naturally had to talk to Ye Qiusheng. Moreover, this is not a man's proposal, which is inconvenient to spread outside, and it is really embarrassing......
"It's okay, the head of the house is already waiting in the hospitality hall. ”
"Thank you. ”
Qin Chuan thanked him, and suddenly, his expression was slightly stunned, and then he was a little shocked.
In this Smoke Mountain Villa, there is actually a lot of demonic aura hidden, which is extremely obscure, unless you know the devil very well like yourself, you will definitely not be able to detect it. Does the Ye family know about this?
It's okay not to know, but if you know, then you say......
However, isn't the Ye family an external family of Confucianism?!
“......”
With a sinking in his heart, Qin Chuan took a look at Lin Zixuan who was hidden somewhere and found that there was nothing unusual about her. Even Lin Zixuan of Yijian Pavilion, who often deals with the Demon Dao, can't find out, who is hidden in this Yanxia Villa? It seems that his trip will not be so smooth.
Shaking his head, he continued to follow the elder.
This discovery, naturally, can't be said at will, so let's take a look at what Ye Qiusheng is doing.
Soon, I entered the lobby.
On the main seat, Ye Qiusheng was reviewing something, and when he saw Qin Chuan coming in, he immediately got up and saluted, but he was also quite puzzled, what did the Su family in Jingzhou come to this time for.
"You may be seated. Come on, watch the tea!"
"I've seen the head of the house. ”
Qin Chuan saluted, walked to the side and sat down.
This person is somewhat similar to Ye Qiuqi, and he must be Ye Qiuqi's eldest brother Ye Qiusheng, although he is not as enthusiastic as he expected, but he is not rude.
"I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" Ye Qiusheng asked.
"In Linyu, Lower Western Xinjiang, this time I was entrusted by the Su family to send a letter. ”
Qin Chuan answered, handed out the letter in his arms, and asked an attendant to send it over. As Linyu, he did those things in Youzhou, and half a month has passed, and the Central Plains must be aware of it now.
"It turned out to be Brother Linyu, disrespectful. ”
Ye Qiusheng took the letter and glanced at Qin Chuan a few times.
In the news from Youzhou, Liu Shenyan of the Jade Sword Sect brought a person from Western Xinjiang called "Linyu" to participate in the banquet of the Nanfeng Pavilion, and later heard that he had severely damaged the killer of the Underworld Sect. This matter has spread all over the Central Plains, and everyone is speculating about Linyu's identity, but they didn't expect that they would come to Yanxia Villa in person.
Thinking about it, Ye Qiusheng was slightly puzzled and opened the letter.
Slowly, there was a faint change in complexion, but I didn't know whether it was cloudy or sunny.
These naturally fell into Qin Chuan's eyes, but he didn't see it, and he still waited quietly. A maid poured a cup of hot tea.
After a long time, Ye Qiusheng sat back on his seat.
"I haven't heard of Qiu Qi and the Su family's daughter. However, the Su family master's request is also reasonable, and it is also an honor for my Ye family to marry the Su family. Just ......"
"How?"
Qin Chuan asked.
I can also guess the content of Su Quan's letter, which is nothing more than asking the Ye family to take the initiative to go to Jingzhou to be hired, pushing the boat down the river, and fulfilling the marriage of Su Ye's two sons. is also because of the consideration of the family's face, Fang is like this, in fact, in the ordinary people of the world, this is not a shameful thing.
It depends on how Ye Qiusheng replied.
"Now Qiu Qi has already reached the age of marriage, and the elders of my clan have already arranged a marriage for him, and some time ago he went to the woman to get hired, hasn't he already repaired the book to Fuxi Mountain, so that Qiu Qi came back. ”
Ye Qiusheng sighed regretfully, "This time, it's a little difficult." ”
Already engaged?
Hearing this, Qin Chuan was suspicious.
I haven't heard Ye Qiuqi say anything about this, not to mention that if he had a marriage contract with someone early, with his understanding of Ye Qiuqi, he would definitely explain it to Su Xiaoyan. In this case, how can you not know?
Perhaps, there are ghosts in it.
Thinking about it, Qin Chuan didn't come out and smiled:
"This is the Su family's abruptness. However, Ye Qiuqi has a good relationship with Xiaoyan of the Su family, and I met them in Youzhou some time ago. This kind of thing should still be chosen by himself. ”
"What Brother Lin Yu said is good. ”
Ye Qiusheng nodded, "For now, let's wait for Qiu Qi to come back and make plans." The party on the marriage contract is not easy to offend for the time being, and as for the side of the Su family, please also invite Haihan. ”
"It is reasonable for the head of the family to consider this. ”
Qin Chuan responded with a smile. Now there are many doubts, and I don't want to ask about the pear orchard. Since Ye Qiuqi is coming, let's wait for him to come. This Ye Qiusheng can't be trusted for the time being.
"My Ye family promises that if Qiu Qi chooses the Su family, then he would rather offend that side, and I will follow his choice. And if the marriage contract is fulfilled, then ...... I also hope that Brother Linyu will not be surprised. ”
Ye Qiusheng said, apologizing to Qin Chuan, but he was neither humble nor arrogant. Regardless of the Su family or Linyu in Western Xinjiang, he doesn't need to be afraid. At first glance, he is also a person who has done great things.
Immediately, he sighed again:
Qiu Qi hasn't returned home for five years, and I don't know if he will come back this time. ”
"Marriage matters, he should be measured. ”
Qin Chuan got up and saluted, only to realize that it seemed that the gap between Ye Qiuqi and this big brother was not ordinarily deep. Ye Qiusheng is so worried that Ye Qiuqi will not come back, is there any conspiracy behind it?
Thinking about it, he didn't stay any longer and left the Smoke Villa.
Long.
Looking at Qin Chuan's departing back, Ye Qiusheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was a little solemn. Immediately afterwards, a few attendants were summoned, but they admonished:
"Keep an eye on this person secretly, and report it immediately if there is anything unusual. ”
