After thinking about this, Liu Yuru knew that Wang Yue had good intentions. She quickly took two steps forward, blessed the courtyard wall, and then said seriously, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your love, Yuru. Thank you very much."
Wang Yue waved his hand carelessly, and then said soothingly, "Since you are marrying someone back home, of course you have to be careful. If you need help, just tell me and I will definitely help. You handle it."
Liu Yuru heard Wang Yue's sincerity and naturalness. Her face immediately turned red, but she still said cautiously, "It is already a very lucky thing to be favored by the young master. I dare not ask for too much.
" Yue was speechless, and simply said straightforwardly, "In front of me, there is no need to be so cautious. You just need to be yourself, just like throwing small stones just now. In the future, as long as you are willing to throw, I will let you I will pick up as much as you throw out."
Liu Yuru looked at Wang Yue blankly, not knowing whether what Wang Yue said was true or not. She just looked at Wang Yue in a daze for a while, and didn't say anything for a long time. .
Wang Yue did not force Liu Yuru to change her habits. Seeing that Liu Yuru was still worried, he smiled and said, "It's not urgent. It won't be too late to discuss this matter after we get married.
" Even though he said this, Liu Yuru still didn't dare to relax and could only deal with Wang Yue cautiously.
Wang Yue was helpless and could only talk to Liu Yuru about goodbye, especially about Yangzhou. From a girl's description, Wang Yue learned about another Yangzhou.
It turned out that in addition to the Gu family, the merchants in Yangzhou City, as well as a few local wealthy families, and other merchants with slightly inferior backgrounds had all been exploited.
When Wang Yue heard this, he was very happy. Fortunately, he was used to it and sent out a message on the first day he came, asking Qingzhou to send more people. Otherwise, he would really not be able to cope with the future situation.
...
Sometimes it's like this, whatever comes to mind.
Wang Yue was still thinking about when the people from Qingzhou would come the first day, but the next day news came from Wang Ping that his brother Wang An came with more than a thousand guards.
These guards were all former masters of the army. Those who were most sincere to the Wang family were selected from the army to form a team, each led by eight deputy commanders.
It’s funny to say that Father Wang is also a funny person. The names of the eight deputy commanders, when combined, mean health, longevity and peace are blessings!
Wang Ping was originally the one who came with Wang Yue, and he had brought a thousand people. This time Wang An brought another thousand, which could definitely guarantee his safety.
After Wang Yue received the confirmed news, he quickly went to see Wang An.
Wang An was also waiting for Wang Yue. When he saw Wang Yue, he first saluted and then said respectfully, "Master, I said that I don't bother the two masters. Since I live in the Ye family, let the two masters of the Ye family Master, please help me propose the marriage."
After he finished speaking, he took a letter from his arms, and then continued, "This is a letter from the master to the second master of the Ye family."
Wang Yue nodded, and after he took the letter , asked with some confusion, "My parents don't have anything to tell me?"
Wang Ping smiled and said respectfully, "Grandpa said it's okay if you don't ask. If you ask, let me tell you. It's good to marry a merchant's girl, she can keep a low profile."
Wang Yue immediately understood what was going on. His father was already a military governor. If Wang Yue was allowed to marry the daughter of some prominent family, it would definitely cause other problems. The uneasiness of power.
Now that Wang Yue married the daughter of a merchant, other governors and even the emperor of Dongdu felt more at ease with him.
In this case, Wang Yue did not hesitate. He rearranged Wang An and others, and then took the letter to see the second master of the Ye family.
When the second master of the Ye family came back, Wang Yue had already met him before. Now that Wang Yue came to see him again, he was still a little confused and asked curiously, "My dear nephew, why do you have time to come here today?" Me? Don't you want to climb over your wall?"
Wang Yue had a black line on his forehead. It seemed that the people in the Ye family had known his actions for a long time. He originally thought he was hiding it well, but now it seems that they are all watching the show.
He was rather thick-skinned and pretended to be casual and said, "Second Uncle Ye, my father has a letter for you and needs you to do a favor for my nephew."
After Second Uncle Ye received the letter, he opened the envelope and said with a smile, "I guess you asked me to help you propose marriage."
Wang Yue quickly saluted, and then said with a smile, "Second Uncle Ye really has a good eye. , you really guessed it."
Second Uncle Ye was just joking. He didn't think that Father Wang would let Wang Yue marry a woman from a small businessman. After all, the difference in status was too big.
He felt that since Wang Yue liked her, he would most likely take a concubine. As for the eldest lady, that was basically impossible.
What he didn't expect was that after he read the letter, in addition to reminiscing with him and inviting him to Qingzhou, as for the marriage, it only said that it should be done according to Wang Yue's ideas.
He also looked at Wang Yue in astonishment, pointed at the envelope and said, "Nephew, how did you convince your father? Did he really let you go to that merchant's daughter?"
Wang Yue shrugged and said proudly. , "Second Uncle, what you are saying is that I am marrying a wife, and it is not my father who is marrying a wife. There is no need to go to such trouble." Of course, Second Uncle Ye
knew that things couldn't be that simple, but he didn't have much trouble. Asked, and immediately started to help Wang Yue.
...
Because Wang Yue is relatively far away, many things are purchased here. Fortunately, Wang Yue's family is not short of money. Faced with the Liu family's lion's mouth, they are still satisfied one by one.
Because he was preparing to welcome his bride, it was not suitable for Wang Yue to live in the Ye family. He simply bought a villa near the outside of the city and moved there.
He chose this place because the warships from Qingzhou were not far away and could come to pick them up at any time.
It's just that the house was bought in a hurry, and Wang Yue's men also had to arrange it. In this way, Wang Yue could only continue to live in the Ye family.
But that's okay, it's also convenient for him to chat with Liu Yuru over the wall.
The Ye family pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to see his actions, and no one from the Liu family cared about Liu Yuru. They all hoped that Liu Yuru could win Wang Yue's heart. In that case, they could all enjoy the blessings.
Therefore, these days, from time to time Wang Yue would climb over the wall to chat with Liu Yuru. Sometimes Liu Yuru would ask Xiao Shitou to remind Wang Yue when she wanted to find Wang Yue.
That day, Wang Yue was practicing martial arts on the balcony. When he saw Liu Yuru's garden entrance, he knew that he was going to meet him again, so he quickly washed up and prepared to go downstairs to meet Liu Yuru.
Just as he walked downstairs and came to the courtyard wall, someone suddenly walked in from the courtyard door. Even Wang Yue and my men did not stop him. Only Wang San followed him, giving Wang Yue a wink.
When Wang San saw Wang Yue, he quickly and respectfully introduced him, "Sir, the eldest son of the Ye family is back, and he also lives in our courtyard."
Wang Yue understood what Wang San meant, so he quickly scolded and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are guests, and this is Master Ye's yard."
After he finished scolding him, he bowed to Ye Shi'an, and then said politely, "Brother Ye Shi'an, I'm really sorry, I bought the yard. It will take a few days before we can move in, and we may have to be harassed for a while."
Ye Shi'an was in a very complicated mood now. He thought that while he was going to take the imperial examination, a woman he liked got engaged to someone else, and the matchmaker was his family. Second uncle.
He was a determined person. He could only lament that this was his fate, but he did not force it.
Seeing Wang Yue's extraordinary bearing, he quickly said politely, "Brother Wang Xian, our two families are so close. You just treat this place as your own home. You don't need to be so outspoken. In fact, I don't even need your house." Bought it."
Wang Yue didn't see any grudge against Ye Shi'an, and he was relieved. After all, he stole someone else's woman, which was nothing to begin with. The key is that this person has some relatives with him, which is a bit embarrassing. .
Thinking of this, he bowed and said very solemnly, "Brother Ye Shi is so generous. I admire him very much. If the Ye family needs any help in the future, just ask me. As long as I can do it without violating the principles, I will definitely do it." It won’t be postponed.”
Seeing what Wang Yue said, Ye Shian quickly said politely, "Brother Wang Xian, you don't have to feel so guilty. I think the girl from the Liu family next door is just like Yun'er, just treated as an ordinary sister. Her life is not easy, you will Just take more care of her."
Seeing what Ye Shi'an said, Wang Yue felt that this matter could be solved, so he chatted enthusiastically with Ye Shi'an.
But not long after Ye Shian and Wang Yue chatted, he couldn't help but yawned, obviously feeling sleepy.
Wang Yue was not an ignorant person, so he quickly smiled and said, "Brother Ye Shi, you are tired from the journey. Go back to your room and rest quickly. I won't disturb Brother Ye Shi'an." Ye Shi'an waved his hand and said humorously
, "Thanks to Brother Wang Xian, my father asked me to move to his yard these days. Since I was seven years old, I haven't been so close to my parents for a long time." Wang Yue understood that Ye Shian wanted to avoid suspicion. After all,
he On a date with Liu Yuru in this courtyard, it would be difficult for Ye Shian, a suspicious ex-lover, to continue living here.
Since Wang Yue thought clearly, he would not force others to stay, so he accompanied Ye Shian back to his room to get some clothes, and after sending the person out, he returned to the wall.
After reaching the base of the wall, he quickly climbed up the wall and saw Liu Yuru's retreating figure.
Because the snow had just melted and the soil was a little moist, Wang Yue glanced at the footprints under the wall and knew that Liu Yuru must have heard everything just now, which made him very happy.
This can be regarded as a disguised solution to the knot between the two of them. Otherwise, he thought with a sigh, he didn't know what Ye Shian's true character was like, but judging from the things he did, he was really a gentleman.
...
In less than two days, the birthday of the old lady of the Ye family started. Because Liu Yuru was getting married, it was inconvenient to come over, so she could only hide at home and embroider her dowry.
Moreover, because time was so short, Liu Yuru really didn't have time to come next door to join in the fun, so she just sent a painting.
Wang Yue had seen that painting, which was a painting of a heroic female general. He immediately understood that it was for Mrs. Liang herself, not for the Ye family's grandmother Liang.
Of course, this painting was delivered through Wang Yue. After all, Liu Yuru and Wang Yue have now crossed paths, and they are considered to be engaged.
After Wang Yue read it, he wrote another poem on it, then mixed it into his own gift and gave it to Mrs. Ye.
...
During the banquet, Wang Yue was at the male guest's seat. As soon as he sat down, Ye Shi'an came over to greet him. After the two said a few words, Ye Shi'an went out to greet the guests.
Wang Yue found an inconspicuous seat and sat down. Before he could take a breath, he heard a strange voice saying, "Didn't someone say that they hate Ye Shi'an the most? Why are you looking so affectionate today?" "
Wang Yue looked back, and he didn't expect it to be Gu Jiusi. He quickly raised his hand, and then said with a smile, "There are so many people I hate, and who is Ye Shi'an! Since he can't even be ranked. No. It just seems that he is a gentleman, so I reluctantly became a friend."
Hearing Wang Yue's words, the two people at the next table burst into laughter, and turned around one after another. Wang Yue discovered that these two people turned out to be Chen Xun and Yang Wenchang.
Chen Xun quickly raised his hand to Wang Yue and said very politely, "Master Wang, thank you for your horse. I like it very much. I will make you my friend." Wang Yue pretended to be surprised and
said He said indignantly, "What? Without horses, there are no friends?"
Chen Xun did not expect that Wang Yue would joke with him, and was stunned for a moment before he could react.
Yang Wenchang took advantage of this gap to salute Wang Yue, and then said with a smile, "Young Master Wang is so funny, but you are right, you will not suffer from being friends with that Ye Shi'an, but Brother Gu doesn't like it, we are brothers I can only do it reluctantly and I don’t like it anymore."
When Gu Jiusi heard this, he said very dissatisfied, "So you and I scold Ye Shian every day, are you just pretending?"
Of course Wang Yue could see that Yang Wenchang wanted to ease the relationship with Wang Yue, but he did not refuse the other party's kindness, so he looked at Gu Jiusi with disdain, "You guys still have time to chat here? Why don't you go to the female guests' seat to see Which one do you like?"
Gu Jiusi looked at Wang Yue with wide eyes and asked incredulously, "How did you know?"
Wang Yue curled his lips and said disdainfully, "You also know that I went to your house I've visited and found out that your family is determined not to let you marry the princess, so you have to find someone to marry quickly! Do you think there is any other opportunity for you to see all the ladies in Yangzhou at once?"
When Gu Jiusi heard that Wang Yue's guess was so accurate, he asked excitedly, "Brother Wang, since you have guessed it, there must be a way to solve it, right? Tell me quickly, what should I do?"
