The movement of the three people and three riders was not slow, and they had reached Jiangning in less than two days.
Lin Manliu didn't feel anything at first, but as the distance got closer, he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
We haven’t seen each other for more than half a year since last winter...
He originally wanted to go to Jiangning after finishing his visit to Hanshan and finishing everything in the villa.
But as the young man encounters more and more things, he can only put this matter aside for the time being. Even his trip to Jiangning this time is not to find the moon girl.
Thinking of this, Lin Manliu sighed. Anyone who looked at the sorrow on his face would gloat.
The man in the yellow shirt walking in the middle of the three people naturally noticed the change in the mood of the boy in the short shirt.
Ye Dangting joked: "It seems that today is not the right time..."
Lin Manliu glared at him, pulled the reins, and prepared to enter Jiangning City first.
The young man in a short shirt and his pony had already traveled more than ten steps in just a blink of an eye.
Ye Dangting looked at the young man's back and continued to shout: "Where will Master Lin go after entering the city? Do you have any idea of staying in a hotel to rest?"
After hearing these words, the boy in short shirt could only groan and slow down his progress.
Finally, near the gate of Jiangning City, he got off his horse and led the horse slowly into it.
Qin Mo already had a certain impression of the bickering and quarrels between the two when they first met.
But seeing each other again today still made him a little curious.
Qin Mo wondered aloud: "Master Ye, why was Shaoxia Lin so silent all the way? Just now you just said a casual word, and he was so angry? This is not like Shaoxia Lin..."
Ye Dangting seemed to have answered the question incorrectly, and laughed out loud: "This man is so unlucky... He has someone hiding in his heart..."
Qin Mo suddenly realized it and immediately clapped his hands and applauded.
"Shaoxia Lin is such a young genius, so the person who admires him must be extraordinary!"
Ye Dangting shook his head and said: "Flowers are placed on cow dung, that's how it should be..."
Qin Mo quickly interrupted the former's speech and defended Lin Manliu righteously.
"Zhuang Master Ye is usually strict in discipline, so he is naturally dissatisfied with Shaoxia Lin in everything, but compared with his peers, isn't he good enough?"
Ye Dang heard this and said: "Compared with those who fell behind him, what's the point?"
Qin Mo wanted to continue talking, but after hearing the words of the second village owner, he fell silent.
Things are like this in the world, if you sail against the current, you will retreat if you don't advance.
Instead of looking at those who have been surpassed by you and feeling proud, even arrogant, complacent, and proud.
It is better to look forward. Those people ahead who are still advancing bravely are the targets that they need to catch up with.
Lin Manliu, who was walking in front, naturally couldn't hear the conversation between the two of them.
The boy in a short shirt led the horse towards the familiar pastry shop. With every step he took closer, his heart became heavier.
This time, not only did they not come to Miss Yue, they even came to Yuezhi to discuss cooperation, asking her to put all her belongings on the gambling table and make a huge bet with them that would take the world as a stipulation.
When Lin Manliu approached the pastry shop, he found that the sign "Yue Ji Zhai" was still standing on the side of the door, but at this moment, the door was closed and it was obviously not open.
Miss Yue doesn’t have to look at this shop every day, right?
After all, it is Jiangning Yueshi...
But in the past six months, will Miss Yue hear the news about Yijian Villa and want to sit in the pastry shop?
After the snowstorm came to the Grand View Tower, she came to Hangzhou alone...
But after he learned the identity of Miss Yue, he never came again. How could he be worthy of Miss Yue's love?
Indecisive... too much... screwed up...
In Lin Manliu's view, these problems are undoubtedly evident in himself.
At this moment, the young man was patted on the back, and he quickly turned around to look.
He found that the old liar had walked behind him, and even Qin Mo was already standing not far away.
Ye Dang heard this and said, "What are you doing standing here alone? Come with me!"
Lin Manliu responded: "Where to go..."
"Just go directly to Yue Mansion. Master Lin really wants to stay at the inn outside?"
"This is a matter of discussion... We need to be more careful. It's better to find a place to place the horses first..."
Before Lin Man finished speaking, Ye Dangting slapped him on the shoulder.
The latter said: "Is it that the Yue Mansion is too small, or does my Yi Jian Villa have no cards, so I still need to pack up these sundries before visiting?"
The boy in a short shirt had nothing to say. From the tone of the old liar, he had probably guessed what the other party meant.
Today, when I go to Yue Mansion, the most important thing is to show off, and all matters of cooperation need to be put on hold.
There are millions of merchants in the world who all put profit first. Who would bet on a loss-making business?
Therefore, today's Yijian Villa cannot be weaker than others, nor can it lose its grand style!
The Yuezhi's mansion is in Jiangning City, so it can be said that it is very easy to find.
Just ask any passerby and someone will tell you the way, and you can also get a share of contempt from the guide.
The disdain in the man's eyebrows seemed to be sarcastic, where did this country bumpkin come from, and he didn't even know where the Yue Mansion was, so he still wanted to pay homage to the village?
Lin Manliu and the others naturally pretended not to see them, and after thanking them, they rushed towards Yue Mansion.
After they left, figures began to appear in various streets and alleys throughout Jiangning City starting from the entrance to the city gate.
Everyone's clothes are the same as those of ordinary people in the city. After blending into the crowd, you can't see any difference at all. The only difference is that everyone is heading towards Yue Mansion.
...
It was already noon when Lin Manliu and Ye Dangting walked to the door of Yue Mansion.
The guard who was responsible for guarding the door immediately became vigilant when he saw three strangers wearing swords and carrying swords in front of the door.
He first called the people around him to report to the house management as soon as possible, and also asked the brothers who usually looked after the house and the courtyard to be prepared, so as not to lose their prestige in front of outsiders.
After he finished his explanation, the figure in the yellow shirt walked up the steps and looked at him.
Ye Dang heard the words: "I think the Yue Mansion has received the letter, and Hangzhou Yijian Villa is coming to visit today!"
The guardian held the stick in his hand in front of him to encourage him.
"Manager Ma has indeed informed you that someone is visiting today, so the three of you should wait here first!"
Yesterday evening, after Yue Mansion received a letter of visit from Yi Jian Villa, many more guards were deployed throughout the mansion than usual.
Moreover, the manager of the Yue Mansion specially gave him, the caretaker, a death order. If he saw anyone from Yijian Villa coming to visit, he would be held back as much as possible.
Ye Dang heard this and said: "The three of us have come all the way, and we are asked to wait outside the house? This is the Yuezhi's way of hospitality!"
Hearing the accusation from the yellow shirt in front of him, the nurse couldn't help but take a step back, and even barely held the stick in his hand.
He repeatedly warned himself in his heart that they were in Jiangning City now, this was the territory of the Yue family, and warriors like them did not dare to cause trouble...
After forcibly calming down, the nurse spoke up again.
"There have been many people visiting the Yue Mansion recently. Manager Ma has told us many times that no matter who they are, they must follow the arrangements for entering the mansion. Please wait a moment for the distinguished guests!"
Ye Dangting took another step forward and was only two steps away from standing in front of the main entrance of Yue Mansion.
The nurse hurriedly said: "We still invite distinguished guests, let's stop here!"
Ye Dangting asked: "There have been many visitors recently? Why did I hear that Jiangning Yueshi has closed its doors to thank guests more than ten days ago? I, Yijian Villa, should be the only guest?"
The guardian was horrified. How could he know about the affairs of Yue Mansion? Judging from his attitude, could he be trying to force his way in?
At this moment, the side door of Yue Mansion suddenly opened wide, and a clear voice came from it.
"Do you know that after this forced invasion, there will be no possibility of negotiation in the future?"
Not only Ye Dangting and the nurse guard, but Lin Manliu and Qin Mo also looked over in search of the sound.
It was discovered that the person who spoke the words was a tall man dressed in rich clothes.
Judging from his extraordinary demeanor, it can be clearly seen from his demeanor that he must be a young master.
But this person's behavior of leaving the main entrance and taking the side entrance made Lin Manliu feel a little curious.
Does he not want to leave, or does he not want to leave Yijian Villa?
It's probably the latter...
The man closed the folding fan in his hand and saluted Ye Dangting.
"Jianning Yuezhi's children have met Master Ye Er!"
Ye Dangting returned the salute with a very perfunctory clasped fist, his attitude no different from before.
"Let's just skip the small talk. Can I, Yijian Villa, enter this mansion today, or can't I?"
The man responded: "Of course I'm coming in. The house manager is handling important matters, so I'll do it for you and invite the distinguished guests into the house!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gestured towards the side door, signaling Lin Man, six and three others to enter through the side door.
The boy in the short shirt saw no movement in the yellow shirt in front of him, so he also stopped where he was, waiting for the old liar's follow-up words.
The man who greeted the guests looked a little confused at first, but after he glanced at all three of them, he shook his head in shame.
"It's the Yuezhi who didn't treat guests well and was rude..."
The man walked towards the main entrance and soon put his hands on the courtyard door.
The guardian looked at his actions and immediately shouted: "Master Yue..., Manager Ma said that the main entrance cannot be opened today under any circumstances. Besides, even Master Yue cannot enter the main entrance!"
The man ignored the nurse's dissuasion, his hands gradually began to gain strength, and he shouted towards the courtyard door.
"The person who came today is a distinguished guest of Jiangning Yuezhi! Why can't you enter the main entrance? Open the door for me!!!"
In the courtyard gate of the mansion, the Yuezhi's nursing staff and the horse steward had already assembled.
Manager Ma, who was standing at the front of the crowd, stared at the main entrance with a gloomy expression. He had been stroking the ring on his hand.
The louder the shouting outside the door, the more irritable he felt!
The boy from the side branch should not have been allowed to go out to welcome guests just now. He was just a piece of trash who cheated and cheated. Today, Jiangning Yueshi's face has been completely ruined by this side branch!
If the mistress found out about it later, she would definitely blame her. He had to find a way to torture her. Otherwise, how could he relieve the hatred in his heart?
Manager Ma concealed all the anger on his face and said aloud: "Open the door!"
Two guards immediately trotted forward and opened the main door wide.
The first person who caught his eye was the young master from the side clan who was shouting outside the door.
The young man in fine clothes did not just step into the main door. He turned around and looked at Ye Dangting at the bottom of the steps.
The man spoke out: "The main door is open, Mr. Ye Er, please come!"
After finishing speaking, he took two steps back and walked towards the side door, and soon entered the Yue Mansion through the side door.
This action made Lin Manliu even more curious.
At first, he thought that this person was trying to make things difficult for them and deliberately walked out through the side door.
Then, seeing the old liar's attitude, he thought he was afraid so he opened the front door.
But when the door opened, he didn't go directly to the main entrance by relying on the reputation of Yijian Villa like those people who showed courtesy for nothing.
Even if this person is subject to etiquette, it is definitely not simple!
Ye Dangting turned around and glanced at Lin Manliu and Qin Mo before stepping into the main entrance of Yue Mansion first.
The young man in short shirt pulled the horse and followed quickly. In this way, under the watchful eyes of all the guards of Yue Mansion, the three men and three horses entered the Yuezhi Mansion, and entered through the main entrance.
Manager Ma was already furious. Looking at the unruly look on the face of the man in front, he felt dissatisfied for a long time.
Then he saw that they actually brought the horses in through the main gate. He couldn't bear it anymore!
Manager Ma looked at Ye Dangting with a gloomy face, and asked aloud: "The second owner of Yijian Villa, Ye Er, is so majestic!"
Ye Dangting responded, "Does Manager Ma think this is too much?"
Manager Ma gritted his teeth and stared at the yellow shirt in front of him.
"Not to mention the entire Yanyang territory, my Yuezhi is one of the most famous families even in the Jiangnan area. If the second village master Ye comes here like this today, I am afraid that the Yuezhi will become the laughing stock of others in the future!"
Somehow, Ye Dangting suddenly laughed.
The Yuefu nursing home present looked incredulous at the figure in yellow's belly laughing.
Is this person crazy? What is he laughing at?
The collateral prince who had gone out to greet him was now standing not far away, shaking his head helplessly.
After today, Yue Mansion may not be stable anymore...
Manager Ma spoke loudly: "Master Ye Erzhuang is so rude. In my opinion, I'd better come another day!"
Ye Dangting stopped laughing and narrowed his eyes slightly to look at the old man in front of him.
"Is Jiangning Yuezhi great?"
"Ye Dang listen! You know what you are talking about!"
"I said...our Yijian Villa is a head shorter than your Jiangning Yuezhi!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Manager Ma was trembling all over. He raised his finger and pointed at Ye Dangting's face and cursed.
"Today it's you, Yijian Villa, who wants to ask for help from Yue Mansion. I hope Master Ye, the Second Villa, will think clearly before speaking, and don't rush into any big-tailed wolves here!"
Ye Dang heard this and said: "Then today...did Yue Mansion insult me first, Yijian Villa?"
Manager Ma responded: "You are not allowed to enter the main entrance, so what?"
"What a good slave..."
"Ye Dang listen! How dare you, a useless person, do something wrong again? How can you still humiliate an old man?"
Hearing Ye Dang's insults, veins popped up on Steward Ma's face. At this moment, he wanted to tear the yellow shirt in front of him to pieces.
Ye Dangting crossed his arms across his chest and ignored the old man in front of him.
Seeing this, Manager Ma continued to speak: "The people who came to Yijian Villa today are just the three of you. Do you still need me to open the front door of Yue Mansion to welcome you? Then is it not polite to enter through the side door?"
But when he was about to finish his words, bursts of noisy shouts came from the streets on both sides outside the Yue Mansion Gate.
Lin Manliu took a step forward and said: "Who said that only three people came to our Yijian Villa?"
