In the evening, the Governor's Mansion.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Ye Mingsheng finally took care of the notebooks on hand. Since he started trying to hand over some unimportant things to Cui Shao, his daily workload and work pressure have been greatly reduced. , I have to say that as a veteran bureaucrat, Cui Shao is more professional and efficient than Ye Mingsheng in handling these government affairs...
After asking Qi Dechao to hand over the memorial he had processed to the Secretary of State for Administration, Ye Mingsheng walked out of the study. He spent last night at Pei Zhixiu's place, and he should spend time with An Miaoyi today. I am already six months pregnant today, and although my overall condition is fine, sometimes I am emotionally unstable and like to lose my temper. This is when I need to be considerate and caring as my husband.
Arriving at An Miaoyi's yard, Ye Mingsheng was welcomed into the room by the maid. At this time, An Miaoyi and Qiqige were eating. Because An Miaoyi was pregnant and eating greasy food would make her sick and vomiting, so this Both the master and the servant ate very light meals, including a dish of stir-fried cabbage, cold cucumber shreds, and radish soup. Only one emerald shrimp was a bit meaty.
Seeing Ye Mingsheng's arrival, An Miaoyi got angry for some reason and pretended not to see it. Only Qi Qige came over.
"Master, have you eaten? I'll ask the kitchen to cook some of your favorite dishes..."
Ye Mingsheng waved his hand and said:
"No, you eat yours!"
After speaking, Ye Mingsheng sat next to An Miaoyi. Seeing Ye Mingsheng walking over, An Miaoyi immediately turned her head away from looking at Ye Mingsheng.
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng was very confused. He didn't know what happened to An Miaoyi today. Didn't he just go to Pei Zhixiu last night?
He used to allocate his time like this, leaving half for An Miaoyi and half for others. An Miaoyi never said anything. What happened today... ··
Looking at An Miaoyi's aggrieved face, Ye Mingsheng became more and more confused, and looked at Qiqige and asked:
"What happened?"
Qiqige seemed a little surprised by Ye Mingsheng's question. She hesitated and said softly:
"Master, don't you know about Shen Yutong?"
Hearing the name "Shen Yutong", Ye Mingsheng became even more confused about what happened, and then ordered in a deep voice:
"Don't be pretentious, tell me quickly!"
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng didn't look like he was faking it, Qiqige told the story of the cause and effect.
Three days ago, Gongsun Hui of the Gongsun family got drunk and made a scene at the Dongting Theater. He said that he wanted Shen Yutong to accompany him for one night, otherwise the Dongting Theater would be demolished. Chen Shengcai, the leader of the Dongting Theater, found several people to make peace with him. Hui Du disagreed and even asked his domestic slave to break into the Dongting Theater and capture Shen Yutong.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Chen Shengcai had no choice but to carry Ye Mingsheng out and said that the military governor had fallen in love with Shen Yutong and had come to watch Shen Yutong's play. Under Ye Mingsheng's power, although Gongsun Hui was arrogant , but I can only walk away in despair...
This matter was a big deal, and it involved Ye Mingsheng and Shen Yutong, the number one Dandan in Liaoyang. So it quickly became a storm in the city. From officials to traffickers and footmen, everyone knew about it. .
At first, everyone just said that Shen Yutong was raised in the outer room by Ye Mingsheng, but soon the story became more and more complicated. It even emerged that the governor's wife An Miaoyi had fallen out of favor, and Ye Mingsheng was about to abolish her and let Shen Yutong sit. All the common people were talking about the affairs of the Governor's wife and discussing the love affair between the Governor and a famous lady.
When An Miaoyi first heard about this, she just thought it was a joke. She was born in the Hou family and had been used to seeing things happening to the men in the family since she was a child, so she was already used to these irrelevant rumors. No more weird!
However, what no one expected was that just this morning, the action team of the Coordination Office raided the Gongsun family's residence in Dongning and directly arrested Gongsun Hui and others into the dungeon of the Coordination Office.
This can be said to have pushed the gossip in Dongning City to the next level. Everyone is saying that Ye Mingsheng was so angry that he wanted to kill Gongsun Hui for disturbing the beauty to vent his anger on Shen Yutong. An Miaoyi was about to be abolished, and Shen Yutong She is about to become a wife in the government, so some people have even started to give gifts to Shen Yutong to curry favor with the new governor's wife...
After Qi Qige finished speaking, Ye Mingsheng was also dumbfounded by this mistake. At this time, An Miaoyi was also excited and said with tears in her eyes:
"Qiqige and I will pack up our things in a moment to make room for you and the actor. You two can go there safely!"
While talking about the pregnant An Miaoyi, he was about to get up and walk out. Ye Mingsheng immediately tried to persuade her, saying that this was just a misunderstanding. He asked Huo San to arrest Gongsun Hui because Gongsun Hui wanted to The conspiracy to assassinate had nothing to do with Shen Yutong.
He has been doing official business in the study these past few days, and he didn't even know that this was happening. He and Shen Yutong were completely innocent, had no relationship at all, and had not even spoken to each other. It was definitely not as exaggerated as the rumors outside said.
Although An Miaoyi acted a little bit because of her grievances, she also knew the limits. After Ye Mingsheng coaxed her for a while, she half-heartedly sat in Ye Mingsheng's arms...
"Let me ask you, what are you going to do with Shen Yutong?" An Miaoyi asked reluctantly:
Ye Mingsheng said without thinking:
"Madam, how do you deal with it, then do it!"
Although I felt pity for Shen Yutong, she was so beautiful and moving, but it was not to the point where Ye Mingsheng was obsessed with her. Ye Mingsheng had just obtained those tribute girls from the palace, and there was a fish like Murong Qingwu in the pond. As for Chu Diao, he naturally doesn't have any additional thoughts about Shen Yutong now.
Regarding Ye Mingsheng's statement, An Miaoyi was obviously a little dissatisfied and lightly hammered Ye Mingsheng's chest a few times, and then whispered in Ye Mingsheng's ear:
"I asked someone to take Shen Yutong to the house this afternoon..."
Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but be a little surprised when these words came out. Seeing this, An Miaoyi continued to speak in his ear:
"How about letting her come to wait for you tonight, sir? How about letting my husband have a taste of the first famous dancer in Liaoyang?"
Ye Mingsheng became slightly vigilant after hearing this, thinking that An Miaoyi had set a trap for him to test him, and immediately shook his head without hesitation and said:
"Madam, my husband is not as lusty as you think, not to mention that I already have you, my wife!"
"Duplicity!"
Listening to Ye Mingsheng's answer, An Miaoyi punched Ye Mingsheng's chest again and said coquettishly. Although she said so, An Miaoyi looked very satisfied with Ye Mingsheng's answer.
After saying that, An Miaoyi gave Qiqige a look. Qiqige nodded and walked out of the door. A moment later, Qiqige led a stunning beauty into the house. This person was none other than the person she was that day. Shen Yutong, the first female dancer in Liaoyang whom Ye Mingsheng met at the Dongting Theater·················
Because Shen Yutong was on the stage that day, although Ye Mingsheng could see that she was very beautiful, he still couldn't see clearly because she was a little far away.
But now that Shen Yutong walked in, Ye Mingsheng could see that this woman was even more beautiful than that day. Her skin was like gelatin, her collar was like a cricket grub, her teeth were like gourd rhinoceros, her head was like a moth's eyebrows, these four sentences in the Book of Songs , it is just right to put it on Shen Yutong!
"Yutong has met Lord Governor!" Shen Yutong saluted Ye Mingsheng and said:
Although Shen Yutong looked very calm on the surface, Ye Mingsheng could still see that her eyes were erratic and she did not dare to look at him. Obviously, the number one celebrity in Liaoyang was not as calm as she appeared in her heart. She was still very nervous and a little shy inside.
"It's almost the New Year, sir, you are sitting in Liaoyang. I don't have anything to give you as a New Year gift, so I will give her to you. I wonder, sir, do you like this gift from me?" Ye Mingsheng's ear was attached. Beside, An Miaoyi said softly:
Listening to An Miaoyi's words, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but feel his heart beat. After pondering for a while, he looked at An Miaoyi and asked:
"Miaoyi, are you serious?"
"Of course, my husband, do you really think I am a jealous woman?" After saying this, An Miaoyi winked at Ye Mingsheng with her beautiful eyes.
Standing up from Ye Mingsheng's arms, An Miaoyi looked at Shen Yutong, then at Ye Mingsheng and said with a smile:
"Yutong, my husband, I will leave this place to you tonight!"
After saying this, An Miaoyi quietly gave Shen Yutong an encouraging look and walked out of the room with Qiqige's support.
Back in the bedroom, An Miaoyi started knitting small clothes with great interest. Seeing this, Qiqige hesitated and asked:
"Madam, are you really not angry?"
After listening to Qiqige's words, An Miaoyi stopped knitting, smiled to herself and asked:
"So what if you're angry? So what if you're not angry?
"My husband has treated me very well. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even be able to coax him..."
"Madam, I don't think the master is very interested in Shen Yutong. Why do you have to persuade her this afternoon to let her enter the house!" Qi Qige said with some confusion:
"The news about Xianggong and Shen Yutong has spread throughout Dongning, and it will spread throughout Liaoyang in a few days. If I reject Shen Yutong, no one will believe that Xianggong and Shen Yutong are innocent. This This matter can no longer be cleared up at all, but they will say that An Miaoyi is a jealous woman!"
An Miaoyi continued with a charming smile.
"Why should I bear this infamy for Shen Yutong? Qiqige, my father is just a marquis, and there are as many as ten concubines. With my husband's current power, sooner or later there will be more and more women in this house. , Shen Yutong is only one more, but Shen Yutong is less, so what's the harm if she is just an actor?
"What's more, Shen Yutong is a good chess player. I really want to see Murong Qingwu's expression after hearing the news..."
After hearing the name "Murong Qingwu", Qiqige suddenly realized and said:
"Madam, that's what you wanted! Yes, if we take it seriously, there is a blood feud between Shen Yutong and his Murong family!"
·················
·················
Early the next morning, looking at the beauty sleeping soundly on the bed and the touch of fresh red on the white silk, recalling the madness last night, Ye Mingsheng shook his head slightly, then covered Shen Yutong with a quilt, got dressed, turned around and walked out. .
After punching in the garden as usual, and having breakfast with Ye Cui together with An Miaoyi, Ye Mingsheng came to the study to start a new day's work.
Just after approving a thousand stones of grain and grass for Fengzhou to stabilize local grain prices, Qi Dechao walked into the study and reported:
"Sir, Yun Hanjie is here!"
Ye Mingsheng was not too surprised when he heard this. He nodded and said:
"Let him in!"
"yes!"
Under Ye Mingsheng's order, Yun Hanjie walked into the study a moment later. He looked at the old man Ye Mingsheng who walked in with interest and joked:
"Mr. Yun has aged a lot lately..."
Although he walked into Ye Mingsheng's study, Yun Hanjie looked completely different from what he looked like a few months ago. At this time, his cheeks were sunken, his eyes were dull, and his hair was slightly messy. It gives people a feeling of fatigue and exhaustion, and there is no hint of the majesty of the Liaoyang Three Clan.
Listening to Ye Mingsheng's joke, Yun Hanjie gave a wry smile, then plopped down on his knees in front of Ye Mingsheng and said in a deep voice:
"This matter was all planned by me from beginning to end. I am willing to die to atone for my sins and ask you to let the Yun family go. The Yun family is willing to donate all the bonds of Dadongsheng Company, and in addition, I will donate five hundred thousand taels of silver to you. As well as three hundred thousand stones of food and grass for adults to enter the customs..."
Listening to Yun Hanjie's words, Ye Mingsheng felt a little clearer. He had previously thought that the Yun family wanted to kill Liu Fushan, and that Wang Weiyu wanted to talk about this matter to cover up the past. Now it seems that he has underestimated Yun Hanjie. Yun Hanjie It seems that he knew that the matter could not be concealed, so he wanted to give himself an excuse.
Looking deeply at Yun Hanjie, Ye Mingsheng asked lightly:
"Mr. Yun, I want to hear the truth. Did you really plan this?"
As soon as these words came out, Yun Hanjie couldn't help but feel nervous, but he still said in a deep voice:
"yes!"
Ye Mingsheng nodded when he heard this and then ordered:
"Mr. Yun, I admire your character, you can leave now!"
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng did not agree to his request, Yun Hanjie was also a little anxious. He knocked his head hard on the floor tiles of the study and said sadly:
"Please, Lord Governor, let the Yun family go!"
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng said leisurely:
"Old Yun, all people make mistakes, how can a saint make no mistakes? But you shouldn't try to lie to me after making a mistake. This is compounding mistakes. You don't respect me at all..." ··”
