Seeing him come in, more than a dozen pairs of eyes in the room glanced at him, looking at him carefully up and down, which made him slightly uncomfortable. As a martial arts practitioner, he was very sensitive to gazes. So when so many eyes are sweeping over him, he will naturally feel uncomfortable. However, he is not Ye Sanlang. He has been in the human world for so long and has seen so much of the world. He has been able to learn from the world. Chen Yu also managed to remain calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai, but such a small scene could not cause any fluctuations in his emotions at all.
But he could see that Mrs. Du seemed a little disappointed with him.
It makes sense to think about it. According to the information he gathered, Madam Du loves her daughter Changsun Li very much, even to the extent of doting on her. Because her appearance is so outstanding, Madam Du is even more protective of her. It is said that Changsun Li now lives alone in a small courtyard. Except for her husband and wife and Changsun Li's personal maid Xiaohuan, even these people at home rarely see her. There are many people in Chang'an who admire her. , there are many princes, emperors and grandsons among them, but they can't even see her. From this, we can imagine how much Mrs. Du values her daughter.
And now, Ye Sanlang's body is not comparable to handsome in any way, and his temperament and appearance are ordinary, so it is naturally difficult for Mrs. Du to have any favorable impression. But then again, if this were not the case, why would I, as Ye Qingcheng, always use Ye Sanlang's appearance? Of course it's because it's too ordinary and inconspicuous.
"Why are you still standing, nephew? Sit down quickly." However, the head of the family, Sun Guotai, didn't seem to have any fluctuation in his expression. He just waved his hand and pointed to a seat and said loudly.
"Thank you, senior Zhangsun." Ye Qingcheng said while sitting down with a smile.
senior? A question mark appeared on Changsun Guotai's head, but if he thought about it carefully, Ye Sanlang was indeed considered a junior, so there was nothing wrong with calling himself a senior. However, this kind of title is indeed very rare. Ye Qingcheng also has a habit in the cultivation world, so it is difficult to change his name for a while. In most cases, there will be no problem when seeing an old man calling him "senior".
After Ye Qingcheng took his seat, Changsun Guotai asked with a smile: "My dear nephew, do you know why you are here today?"
His question made Ye Qingcheng couldn't help but curse a few times. Nonsense. It was obviously a greeting card sent by me. What am I doing here today? Don't you know? After all, it’s not just the portraits you sent to people to propose marriage.
However, polite words were unavoidable, and Ye Qingcheng could only apologize and said with a smile: "I know, it's Senior Changsun and Mrs. Du who want to see what kind of person I am."
"Well, it seems that my nephew is quite smart. Since everyone understands, let me open the skylight and speak frankly. My nephew, your father is my great benefactor. Ten years ago, I suddenly fell seriously ill, and all the doctors in Chang'an were After searching all over, everyone said that I was hopeless. At that time, my family was already preparing for my funeral. However, at that time, your father went against everyone's advice and treated me personally for a whole month. In the end, I was finally pulled back from the door of hell. You can say that I owe my life to your Ye family, and it is precisely because of this that Asheng agreed to this marriage."
Du Sheng is Mrs. Du's name. She is the daughter of the Du family, another aristocratic family in Chang'an City. It is very common for various aristocratic families to often marry each other.
Ye Qingcheng was not surprised by this. Although he was a little surprised when he first learned about it yesterday, he doesn't find it strange now. With his father's benevolence as a doctor, people like him who had been saved by him in Chang'an City , I’m afraid I can’t even count them. However, if it weren't for this reason, Mrs. Du would not agree even if she just wanted to see her, not to mention that she wanted to marry her.
"However, if this is the case, I will not marry Li'er to you. My dear nephew, you have a good reputation in Chang'an. 'The No. 1 Sword of Chang'an' is your title. You have been in Chang'an for so long. You should also know that not only in our Chang'an, but also in the entire Tang Dynasty, military attaches are not valuable. This phenomenon is particularly serious in Chang'an. Precisely because military attaches are promoted quickly and most of them have no culture and accomplishments, the status of military attaches in the court is Much lower than civil servants at the same level, you know this very well." After saying this, he seemed to feel a little dry in the mouth. Changsun Guotai took the teacup on the table next to him, took a sip of tea, and continued Said: "Besides, I'm afraid you have heard that our eldest son's family values Li'er very much and even protects her. This shows how important she is. If we just marry her to someone who has no idea where she will be tomorrow, As for a young officer, Asheng and I will never agree."
Ye Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Changsun Guotai meant. If you are not willing to marry me, why are you proposing a marriage? Why should I come to the door?
"Then why..."
"Haha, my dear nephew, don't worry. If you don't agree to this marriage, how can I let you come? In that case, I won't have anyone send a portrait to propose marriage from the beginning." As he said that, he took another sip. Taking a sip of tea, he looked at Ye Qingcheng and said, "I wonder if my nephew remembers the robbery that happened at Li Ji Jewelry Store in Dongshi on the eighth day of May in the 29th year of Kaiyuan?"
"Remember, that case was handled by this junior personally. I don't know why I mentioned it..."
Although Ye Qingcheng said so, he had already guessed what was going on. If nothing else happened, it seemed that the owner behind the store was Changsun Guotai.
Some people may be curious, why is Ye Qingcheng so famous even though he was just a policeman before? And his ability to infer is so powerful that he can be called Duke Dee alive.
In fact, before he followed Wang Zhongsi to Mobei, he had always been an agent in Wannian County. But since he was just an ordinary agent, why was he so famous in the capital? In fact, it's just that he doesn't want to be the head catcher. Isn't the head catcher of the Jingcheng County government very prestigious? But equal responsibilities are also proportional. The busyness of Wannian County's head catcher can be said to be beyond imagination. He often doesn't even finish a meal at home before errands come, and he is still working as a ranger on the streets. When I was young, I often saw that my ex-captain had to do errands every day, so when he became a cop, he was not willing to climb up at all.
Cui Guangyuan, the magistrate of Wannian County, is on good terms with his Ye family. Coupled with his skills, it is not difficult at all to become a head catcher.
