idle king

Chapter 93 Xinghua Village

In front of the gate of Ye Mansion, I saw a young and beautiful bhikkhuni standing there with his palms folded and his eyes scanning the surroundings.Occasionally, neighbors passing by on the street saw her and would call her a little mage in good faith.

At this moment, the door of the mansion opened, and Xiaojuan walked out from inside.

"Little master, please go back. Our wife said that if you want money, let Master Jingguan come over in person."

After Xiaojuan finished speaking, she turned around and went back home, not giving the other party any chance to speak.

Seeing the door of the mansion closed again, the monk and nun's eyes flashed a glint of sternness.

She walked along the outer wall of Ye Mansion to the east for a few feet, came to a corner, looked left and right, and found that no one was paying attention, then she touched the ground, jumped, and turned inside easily.

Because she had never been to Ye Mansion, she first found a nearby place to hide when she landed, and then began to slowly and carefully observe the surrounding environment.

According to the information obtained earlier, during the daytime, Ye Rong was not at the house, and did not come back until night, and his son Ye Chu, who spent most of his time in the study, usually would not easily go to the backyard to pay his respects.

In other words, at this moment, there is only her senior sister Zhao Man in the back hall.

The only inconvenience is that she is still wearing an eye-catching monk robe, which prevents her from going out ostentatiously.

In fact, this time, her master did not ask her to come here at all, it was entirely on her own whim, and her master Jing Guan Shitai had already retreated for a long time for some reason.

Just a few days ago when she was tidying up the master's room, she accidentally found a yellowed envelope.Then, driven by curiosity, she looked it over carefully, only to realize that ten years ago, her master had accepted an apprentice, who was Zhao Man, the hostess of the Ye Mansion.

In the past, she was still a little strange, this Mrs. Zhao Man Zhao would always go to Cijing Temple to offer incense money every once in a while, but now she understands a little bit.

Hmph, it's just a pawn whose layout failed.It is estimated that Master and her elders did not expect that the Ye family would decline so thoroughly after the death of Mr. Ye.

After waiting in the hiding place for a long time, after confirming that there was no one around, she appeared again, and then moved towards the backyard of Ye Mansion according to the approximate direction.

What she didn't know was that in the dark, a pair of eyes were silently looking at her.

……

After leaving Miss Xiaoxiao's residence, Ye Yu took Xiao Chan and the two of them did not go to Zuixiao Tower, but took a car directly to a place called Xinghua Village in the suburbs.

This is the place that Chen Ting and Han Qiu had found before.

When Zuixiaolou opened yesterday, Ye Chu told them that he would come over today to see if everything he wanted was ready.

Xinghua Village is said to be a village, but in fact there are not many families.

It is said that there used to be hundreds of families here, but later the flooding became serious, and most of them moved away, so Xinghua Village looks a bit depressed now, with ruins everywhere.

Sitting in a carriage, he crossed half of the village, and soon, Ye Yu came to a well-built yard that seemed out of tune with the surrounding environment.

Jumping off the carriage, Ye Chu stretched out his hand to hug the blushing Xiaochan again.

At this time, a servant standing in front of the door also hurried over at a trot.

"Excuse me, is this the young master of the Ye family?" Seeing Ye Yu nodding his head, he continued with a respectful smile, "My young master has been waiting inside for a long time, please follow the villain."

When Ye Yu came in, he could see Han Qiu and Chen Ting sitting around a casserole on the ground from a distance, commenting for a while.

After being reminded by someone next to them, the two turned their heads and saw Ye Chu approaching.

"Brother Ye is finally here. Brother thought you forgot about it." Chen Ting laughed loudly, and was about to give Ye Chu a special gift, but when he saw Ye Chu, he immediately moved to Han Qiu's side. After getting back, he remembered something, and couldn't help but patted his head in embarrassment.

"Brother Chen was joking, isn't it because he's been busy recently and doesn't have time?" Ye Yu smiled and asked again, "Brother Han, how are things going?"

"Well, everything is here, Mr. Ye, you can first see if it meets your requirements."

Han Qiu used to deal with his father Ye Rong a lot. For Ye Chu, he felt more respect from the literati rather than the politeness of the businessmen.

"Brother Han, don't want to call Ye Gongzi Ye Gongzi, I feel awkward. We are all our own, so why be so polite. Just call me Ye Yu." Ye Yu said with a wry smile.

The wine cooperation between the Han family and his Ye family has lasted for almost ten years, so it can be regarded as a family friend.It's just that Ye Chu used to be taciturn and seldom interacted with others. When he occasionally met Han Qiu who came to visit at the mansion, he just nodded.

As for Chen Ting, don't say that the current Ye Chu didn't understand it, I'm afraid the previous Ye Chu had never seen it either.

Of course, Ye Chu also asked his father about Chen Ting.But at that time, the old man was a little vague, he just told him that the Chen family can cooperate with confidence.

"Hehe, since that's the case, if Mr. Ye doesn't mind, then I'll call you Ye Yu. I'm changing your words when you have words in the future." Han Qiu said with a smile.

Although the name doesn't matter, in fact, there is a close relationship invisibly.

The old man said that the Chen family is reliable, and Ye Chu can be more casual.But the Han family has interests with too many families in Jinling. Now that they want to cooperate further, they naturally have to consider some deeper things.

Afterwards, Ye Chu began to check the things placed on the ground one by one.

Casserole, iron pot, and fully dredged bamboo pipes.

The distillation device is not complicated, and the principle is very simple.Just because of the material problem, the efficiency is low.But even so, the alcohol concentration of the distilled wine is much higher than today's.

If it is distilled several times, it may be possible to produce medical alcohol.

"Is this place safe?"

After the inspection, Ye Chu was quite satisfied.That's the only concern now.

"Brother Chen is doing business, you can rest assured!"

As soon as Ye Tong finished speaking, Chen Ting patted his chest and said, "There are only three households at the entrance of this village. The rest have moved away. Yesterday, I got the land deeds for this village and surrounding mountains and forests from the government. .”

"Besides, I've done a survey. It's surrounded by mountains on three sides. The only way for outsiders to come in is to go through the road along the river at the entrance of the village."

"As for the flood problem, according to those families, it seems that it hasn't happened in the past two years. That's why those people haven't moved out yet." Chen Ting said what he knew one by one.

"Even if not, we have to take precautions. Well, let's leave this matter to me. It's not the rainy season yet, so there should be enough time to solve the problem. As for the three families, I will leave it to you Figured out a way." Ye Chu said.

"I didn't expect Brother Ye to deal with the flood. Hehe, if this matter is handled properly, the prefect of Jinling may even come to ask for advice in person." Han Qiu said in surprise.
