Chapter 55 Marriage Events (Part 1)
A generous gift is worth a lot of money, three requests and four urges.
The threshold of the Jiuyuan Ye Mansion was almost broken by Ding Yuan's subordinates. What followed was a large number of lobbyists from the Lu clan. They surrounded Lu Bu's ears and blew around and held them, hoping that Lu Bu could leave a glory for the Lu family in the officialdom.
Lu Bu was intended to be an official, but when Ding Yuan saw that he was really accepting him, he agreed to go to Ding Yuan as the chief clerk after Ding Yuan's subordinates came to the door for the fifth time. Seeing this, Ye Xiaoyi had to say that although he could not accept the filial piety for his husband, he would accompany Lu Bu.
Ding Yuan's subordinates happily went back to report their lives, while Ye Xiaoyi and Lu Bu arranged the affairs of the Ye Mansion and took most of the Ye Mansion's people to go on the road.
Ding Yuan stationed his troops in Jinyang. So the Ye family members set out from Jiuyuan and headed east to Dingxiang first. After buying and selling a batch of goods in the city, they left behind four hundred family members, several managers and Ye Zhu's Ye family guild hall here. They prepared for Ding Yuan to have any upset and immediately return to the north.
From Dingxiang to the south, Ye Xiaoyi and Lu Bu passed by Mayi and visited Nie Liao's home. When Nie Liao's young, beautiful and child-loving mother saw the two, she asked them to bring things to Nie Liao. As a result, the Ye family members had a big cart of heavy and useless debris, which made everyone complain.
I feel sorry for my parents in the world, so bear it.
Thinking of his parents in his previous life, Ye Xiaoyi sighed and went to Jinyang City with Lu Bu.
There is also a Ye family branch in Jinyang City. So, as soon as I entered the city, Ye Xiaoyi and Lu Bu went there first, settled everyone, and then went to Ding Yuan's mansion to visit.
On the way, Ye Xiaoyi and Lu Bu observed the scene in the city and found that it was still a lively atmosphere. However, the food seemed to be more expensive. After inquiring, I heard that it was a bad year and it was a disaster.
Disaster?
These days, the food production will be unstable every few days. When the Yellow Turbans are in chaos, everyone will leave their homes and houses to rob them. There is no place to have the intention to farm, so it would be strange if they don’t starve to death.
Ye Xiaoyi considered the problem of food and said to Wei Xu: "Remember to send someone to inform Jiuyuan and the branches of various places to transport the food to Jiuyuan. The most powerful people were also transferred to Jiuyuan, and the county magistrate strengthened the city, and then find people to build those tools according to the pictures I drew, so that they can prepare for emergencies. Remember, the money must be kept in the grain and not used without any use."
"Xiaoyi, what's the use of storing so much grain?" Lu Bu laughed, "The profit of grain is not as good as our fried chicken and ceramic products?"
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, hahahaha." Ye Xiaoyi changed his sight and led the topic to Shen Xian. "Can you reveal it? What did Brother Liao say in his letter to you?"
"…he…” Shen Xian hesitated.
Hehe, if you don’t say it, you will see Nie Liao anyway.
Ye Xiaoyi let Shen Xian go and Lu Bu walk into Ding Yuan's home.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work."
As soon as the two entered the yard, they saw a fat man rushing out of the main hall. He was in his forties and had a "swimming ring" on each of his navels, trembling with the frequency of his breathing.
"This is Lord Ding." The soldier who led Lu Bu and the other two into the door told the two in a low voice. Lu Bu nodded and stepped forward to salute. Ye Xiaoyi also followed him to salute, and also looked carefully at the ornament hanging around Ding Yuan's waist - the fancy golden pendant.
From the perspective of taste, she felt that Ding Yuan was bold and generous, loved money and face.
"Oh, there is no need to be too polite." Ding Yuan stretched out his hand to support him, and there were many calluses on his two fat, thick and thick hands.
“谢大人.”叶晓易,吕布跟丁原进了堂屋.她看到丁原的手,倒还放心了些,知道丁原不是那种尸位素餐的家伙,而且看丁原的步伐,也很矫健,颇有武人风范.只不过……这身材怎么那样像史书上的董卓?
Khan. Could it be that Dong Zhuo asked Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan, and was he jealous of Ding Yuan as being fatter than him?
Ye Xiaoyi looked at Ding Yuan and Lu Bu with a smile, forcing himself to come back to his senses from his random thoughts.
初次见面,丁原对吕布,叶晓易说得不过是些场面话,但还是勉励吕布,希望他在晋阳军中做出一些成绩.吕布顺着丁原的话回答,跟丁原约好几日后便正式上任,还答应让丁原见识一下自己的弓马本领.
看丁原心情大好,叶晓易转身冲魏续比了个“三”的手势.来之前,她按照猜测准备了几种了礼物,有偏贵重的,有偏风雅的,准备根据对丁原的第一次观感送出.
When Ding Yuan saw the gift, he was even more happy. He praised the two of them for being young and promising, and even sent them out in person.
“大哥,你觉得他如何?”叶晓易对丁原的印象还好.尤其是丁原的眼神,虽然锐利,但不混浊,不像沉溺酒色之人,说话办事也还算大方,属于肯礼贤下士的.
“还好,看上去容易相处,至于日后……日后的事情日后再说吧.”吕布不喜欢对一个人轻易下评论,他想到了叶晓易的礼物,便道:“不过,你的礼物似乎颇得他心意.”
"Hehe, it's Wei Xu." Ye Xiaoyi patted Wei Xu's shoulder proudly, "This guy is increasingly aware of how to corrupt officials. In the future, we will rely on him for the great path of collusion between officials and businessmen."
"The young master is too rewarded. It is the young master who is good at the leader, but villains dare not take credit." As he grows older, Wei Xu's flattery has become more elegant and implicit.
"Don't be humble." Ye Xiaoyi looked up at Wei Xu and found that this guy was a whole head taller than him.
"I dare not, I dare not." Wei Xu smiled and his eyes suddenly opened wide when he looked at the Ye family branch. "Young Master, it seems to be the third master."
Nie Liao?
叶晓易跟吕布望去,见叶家晋阳会馆的门口,高壮的聂辽正站在门口笑.他怀中抱了个小孩,旁边站了个女子,身后跟着几个当初从叶府带走的家丁.那些人看到吕布,叶晓易过来,便跪下施礼.
"Brother. Xiaoyi." Seeing that Lu Bu and the other two were back, Nie Liao opened his mouth and threw the child in his arms to the woman next to him. He ran over to say hello to the two.
"You're taller again." Lu Bu pinched Nie Liao's shoulders and nodded at him with approval.
"Ah, why are you doing this taller than that?" Ye Xiaoyi jumped up and punched Nie Liao as a chest.
"Hehe. Come on, boss, Xiaoyi, meet my wife." Nie Liao pushed the woman and the child forward. The woman frowned slightly, but she still held the baby and gave a bow.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ye Xiaoyi looked at the short, thick and fat baby several steps back and stretched out his trembling fingers, "You, you, you...when did you get married?"
"A year ago." Lu Bu smiled and pulled Ye Xiaoyi to greet the woman. "Liao didn't let me tell you. He said it would be better to give you a surprise when you see her in the future, so I didn't say it. But I didn't expect that she even had children."
"Hehe, hurry up." Nie Liao took Lu Bu and Ye Xiaoyi to the guild hall, and a host came to accompany the guests.
Ye Xiaoyi deliberately landed behind everyone, looked at Chen Xian and found that Chen Xian had no surprise expression.
Could it be that she had known it a long time ago? How many letters did that boy Nie Liao send to her privately? His mouth is very strict.
"Wei Xu..." Ye Xiaoyi wanted to call Wei Xu to ask, but felt that this move was enough, so he gave up.
晚饭都是聂辽带来的,准确的说是他从晋阳叶家食肆讹来的.听他带去的叶府家丁讲,他跑到食肆一把拽过老板,说如果不把今晚的饭做好,食肆的连锁资格就取消……
"This child has learned badly." Ye Xiaoyi shook his head and carefully observed Nie Liao's wife.
According to ancient sayings, she seemed to be called the wife. According to Nie Liao's introduction, her family was also a large family in Mayi, and her mother also had a handkerchief with Nie Liao's mother, so when the two of them were in the mother's belly, they got married.
He is a childhood sweetheart, but Nie Liao doesn't like her very much. The two of them have a very plain feeling, and the woman always has a gloomy face and doesn't smile much.
It's a big deal, I don't owe you eight hundred yuan, who will you ask for whoever owes you money?
Realizing that the woman's hostility was to attack him, Ye Xiaoyi quietly gestured a swearing gesture under the table.
"Young Master..." Wei Xu gently pulled Ye Xiaoyi's clothes.
“干嘛?”叶晓易没好气.
"The Third Young Master is talking to you." Wei Xu admired Ye Xiao's ability to travel outside the world.
"Ahh, I'll just say anything about it." Ye Xiaoyi looked at Nie Liao and saw Nie Liao stretching out his palm.
"Xiaoyi, I'm married and had children. Wouldn't you give me some gifts?" Nie Liao laughed, looked at the jade on the sword sheath on Lu Bu's waist, and smacked his lips.
“别总觊觎大哥的东西,我还没跟你兴师问罪呢.嫂夫人嫁给你这么久,我都不知道.如今连孩子都有了……你才十九岁啊,还没有冠礼啊.”结婚要随礼啊,我好肉疼啊.叶晓易知道自己要“出血”,徉怒了下.
“我这已经算晚的了.族中几个弟弟的儿子都会说话了.”聂辽不以为意,“老大这样才奇怪,年满二十,家财万贯,为人豪迈,体格矫健……老大,你应该比辽我早娶妻才对啊.”
"Big brother, a young hero, naturally, doesn't care about the love between children. He has to do a lot of big things..." Ye Xiaoyi quickly cut off Nie Liao, for fear that he would instigate Lu Bu to marry a wife.
"How can people be prosperous if they don't marry? Of course, the sooner they get married, the better." Nie Liao looked at Ye Xiaoyi's panic and said happily: "However, I'm not here to be a congratulatory gift. I'm here to ask for someone."
"I want someone? Who? Wei Xu can't do it. He wants to stay and help me make money." Ye Xiaoyi reached out to protect Wei Xu like an old hen, preventing Wei Xu from approaching Nie Liao. She saw Nie Liao's pomp and suspected that Nie Liao also wanted to do business.
"I don't want him, I don't open a shop, what's the point of asking him?" Nie Liao paused and said embarrassedly: "I'm here to ask Chen Xian."
