During this period, because he became General Huwei, his subordinates were really short of talents, so Ye Mingsheng planned to let his number one confidant Ye Tie take charge of the job alone.
He also planned to train Ye Dong and Ye Kui, two young brothers who were loyal to him, so he hired a special teacher to teach Ye Dong and Ye Kui how to read and write.
After this period of study, the two of them have gone from being illiterate to being able to barely recognize some words, understand some official documents, and write some simple things.
Because Dazhou has always respected scholars very much, once Ye Dong and Ye Kui learned this, they naturally wanted to be arty and pretend to be educated people... ·
There are usually no good opportunities, but now Ye Mingsheng's arrangement has undoubtedly fulfilled the two of them's thoughts.
Influenced by the clean and elegant environment of Mingyan Tower, these two big-headed soldiers, who originally ate meat and drank alcohol, followed what the teacher said, pretending to shake their heads along with the sound of the piano, and listened carefully.
However, their actions were ridiculous. Fortunately, Ye Mingsheng asked the two of them to do it in a remote corner. No one noticed the two of them, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

"Master Ye, it will take some time for my master to come over, please wait a moment!"
After bringing Ye Mingsheng to a private room on the second floor of Mingyan Tower, the maid in green reported to Ye Mingsheng:
Noticing the maid in blue, she was referring to the "master" Ye Mingsheng. An imperceptible color flashed in his eyes. The next second, he turned to the maid in green and said with a smile:
"Thank you for the introduction, girl. Have you asked her for her name yet?"
In response to Ye Mingsheng's advances, the maid in green just smiled and shook her head, then exited the room.
Ye Mingsheng, who was rejected, didn't care much and took stock of the environment of the room. Although Ye Mingsheng was not a wealthy person in his previous life or now, he lived a rough life.
He didn't know much about the furnishings and layout of the room, but as a layman, he could tell that this room was very particular. Not only the seats, screens, dining tables and other things in the room were all made of Made of precious wood such as rosewood or wenge.
Even the dozen calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall are all made by famous artists. Every time they are taken out, they will be enthusiastically sought after.
Ye Mingsheng made a rough calculation. The furniture in this room plus the calligraphy and paintings were conservatively estimated to be worth at least three thousand taels of silver!
At this point, Ye Mingsheng was surprised, and his mood was a little complicated. No matter in which world he was, the gap between the rich and the poor was getting bigger and bigger. The rich died rich, and the poor died poor...
After sighing in his heart, Ye Mingsheng turned his attention back to the situation in front of him.
The word "Master" from the maid in green just now made him realize some information immediately. The maid in green was the maid of Mingyan Tower, so being called master by her, and the room he was in now, all explained something. One thing, that is, the person I met is probably the owner of Mingyan Tower!
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng immediately became very curious about the "big man" he was going to meet next.
Judging from the currently known information, this person’s relationship with Da Longchang and Ming Yanlou is definitely unusual, and he is very likely to be Shen Jianzhong’s collaborator. No matter which level he is, these three levels of identity are enough to explain this person’s identity. Unusual.
After waiting in the room for about half an hour, just when Ye Mingsheng was getting a little impatient, there was finally a sound of footsteps outside the private room. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng cheered up and cheered up.
"Click!"
As the door was opened, Liu Chunfu, who had met Ye Mingsheng last time, appeared in front of Ye Mingsheng. Before Ye Mingsheng had time to say hello, he saw a tall, elegant-looking man with a waist A middle-aged scribe wearing a piece of warm white jade walked into the room!
"Master Ye, this is my master!" Liu Chunfu took the initiative to introduce Ye Mingsheng:
After sizing up this middle-aged scribe who looked like he was worth a lot of money, Ye Mingsheng raised his hand in a neutral manner and asked:
"I don't know what to call this gentleman?"
The middle-aged scribe with a white jade belt tied around his waist was not in a hurry to answer Ye Mingsheng's question. He smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to signal that Ye Mingsheng would please sit down.
After the two of them sat down, he looked at Ye Mingsheng with interest, and then said: "Brother Shen admires you very much, Mr. Ye. Then Mr. Ye, you might as well guess who I am?"
Hearing this person call Shen Jianzhong "Brother Shen", although Ye Mingsheng looked normal, he became more certain in his heart that this person was Shen Jianzhong's collaborator.
Ye Mingsheng did not refuse the middle-aged scribe's request. After pondering for a while, he looked at the middle-aged scribe in front of him and said slowly:
"If I guess correctly, your surname should be An, right?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged scribe's elegant face showed a hint of surprise at first. He seemed to be quite surprised that Ye Mingsheng could tell his last name at a glance. The next second he clapped his hands and praised:
"Master Ye, you are truly extraordinary!"
"My surname is An, and my first name is Rong!"
Although he had already guessed that the other party must be a big shot in the An family, when he heard the name "An Zhirong", Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but feel shocked. He immediately stood up and raised his fist at An Zhirong again:
"It turns out it's Mr. An. I'm so disrespectful, so disrespectful!"
"I have heard about the Third Master for a long time, and today I finally meet him. Ye is truly lucky!"
An Zhirong seemed to have expected Ye Mingsheng's attitude. He smiled slightly and asked Ye Mingsheng to sit down, and then said lightly:
"Master Ye is too polite. If it's okay, I wonder if Master Ye could tell me how you guessed it was me?"
Ye Mingsheng did not hesitate when he heard the words, and immediately spoke:
"Last time shopkeeper Liu came to visit me, he was holding the Dalongchang sign, and he invited me to Mingyan Tower. Because I didn't know that it was you, the Third Master, who wanted to see me, I asked someone to find out about Dalongchang. , and the situation of Mingyan Tower, I originally wanted to be prepared, but I accidentally discovered that both Mingyan Tower and Dalongchang Company have shares in Anjia!"
"So when Third Master took the school exam, I boldly guessed that the noble man's surname was An. As for the more specific details, I don't know..."
