Although Xu Mansion is located in an inland basin with heavy mountains and dangerous rivers, it relies on the intersection of the two rivers to open the Yangtze River with unique geographical advantages, and occupies the waterways from the southwest to the outside world. Since ancient times, it has been a place where trade transfers and converges. It has more than 20 counties under its jurisdiction, with dense populations and many shops.

People live, eat, wear, live, live, live, live, live, live, old, sick, die, and have a salt, iron, tea, wine, medicinal materials. The Su family is one of the many medicinal materials businesses in Xufu.

By the generation of Su Xuezhi's grandfather, the Tiandexing of Baoning County was also considered a name for hundreds of medicinal materials merchants of all sizes in the Xu Mansion. Although he was defeated for a few years after his death, the lean camel and llustrated were bigger than horses, and the Su family has always been one of the local wealthy families.

More than ten years ago, Ye Yunjin was able to make a move at a high price, so she resolutely bought half of the house she sold on her back with her husband. After opening it up, it restored its father-in-law to his life. Although some people were talking behind the scenes, her actions were just to convince the hearts of the people of the Su family, but the discussions were discussed, and the Su family became proud again from then on. Several "respected people" in the clan also completely closed their mouths and dared not point fingers at Ye Yunjin anymore.

So now, the Su family’s mansion is four or five deep in front and back, and the yard is surrounded by a yard.

With memory, Su Qingqing finally touched the front. The scene was chaotic, and she stopped behind a side door of the main hall.

My uncle Ye Ruchuan was carried into the side hall and lying on a long couch. Although he was not as exaggerated as Xiao Cui described, he was indeed seriously injured. One side of his forehead looked like a corner of flesh, his head and face were covered with blood, and one leg was bent, and he seemed to be injured.

A medicine shop was opened next to the gate of the Su family. Ding treated both inside and outside. He was in charge every day and arrived early. He quickly cleaned and treated Ye Ruchuan's wound on his forehead, and said in his mouth: "Uncle, bear with it the pain. You are really lucky today, and this knife is broken, but fortunately it was turned into a slight skew. The King of Hell has walked through it, and there will be great blessings in the future!"

Ye Ruchuan traveled around the world in his early years, with wind and sunlight, and his face was covered with copper. At this moment, his face turned pale and closed his eyes, and moved his mouth with weak energy, and smiled bitterly: "I would like to lend you auspicious words."

After dealing with the injury on the head, Ding started touching the leg and stabbing the bones again, causing Ye Ruchuan to suffer so much pain. Fortunately, he just swallowed a red lotus and used tincture for pain relief. After tossing, he finally fell asleep in a drowsy way under the medicinal effect.

Ye Yunjin's eyes turned red, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, got up and walked out of the house.

Ye Da's nose, swollen face, his arms were hanging, and he was waiting outside with a nervous look on his face. When he saw Ye Yunjin appear, he knelt down: "Auntie, it's useless! I didn't protect the master well! If I hadn't met Zheng Da's head to save the master, I would have no shame to be a ghost..."

He is a figure, Kong Wu, a son of the family, a mate of the Ye family, and also annexed bodyguards. Ye Ruchuan often follows him when he goes out, and he is ashamed at this moment and keeps kowtowing.

Ye Yunjin stopped him and asked about the incident.

Ye Da calmed down: "The master seemed to have something urgent to find his aunt that day. He came back from outside and got on the road. Last night, he took a boat and arrived at the Miliangyi Wharf. He looked at the county town not far away. He wanted to hurry up. He went ashore this morning and hired a car, but he didn't get out. A group of bandits suddenly rushed out of the roadside, and the car couldn't get through. The master said to give him money and asked him to go to the dock. Unexpectedly, the group of people drew their swords and chopped at the master without saying a word. I pulled the master to hide for a while. Then the knife head was chopped off. I pushed the master into the carriage and drove the car around and ran desperately. The thieves rode horses and chased them from behind. They were about to catch up. Fortunately, the boss Zheng Da was riding a horse and walked by with people on his horse. He shouted, and the group of people ran away..."

He kowtowed again to take charge of the crime.

Ye Yunjin comforted him a few words and asked someone to arrange for him to go to rest and recuperate.

Su Zhong followed and asked if he wanted to report the case to the yamen.

In the past two years, a document has been written, and the original name of the prefecture was abolished and no longer used. The county magistrate also became the county governor. But the people did not care about it, but they would call it anyway. Anyway, the yamen only changed the sign at the gate. The original county magistrate jumped up and down for a while, and then came back to change his body and continued to be the county governor. The people inside were basically the same as before.

Ye Yunjin gritted his back of the alveolar and said, "You have heard it too. It's not an ordinary bandit. It's a death-taking for people! It's useless to report to the official, and it's still a waste of trouble. Suppress it first!"

Su Zhong should be.

Ye Yunjin thought about it and glanced around: "Where is the head of Zheng? I just now only cared about my elder brother's injuries and didn't have time to greet anyone."

Su Zhong hurriedly said, "As soon as they sent my uncle, they rushed back to the city. I chased him out and wanted to greet him. Without seeing the boss, I only caught up with his brother Wang Niqiu. Wang Niqiu said that he had not entered the county town and had something to do. He sent my uncle to the gate of the county town and left first."

Ye Yunjin frowned slightly, looked at the direction of the door, as if he was concentrating on something. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and seemed to ask something. Suddenly, he saw that his daughter had come out at some point, so he stood in the corner of the main hall not far away, paused a little, and changed his words: "I understand. After all, I saved my uncle and was our benefactor. We can't give up the courtesy."

Su Zhong also saw it and immediately raised his voice: "If Madam can trust it, leave it to me. I will prepare a thank-you gift and Mrs. On his behalf will thank you."

Ye Yunjin nodded slightly, then continued to say something else to Su Zhong. After saying that, he turned around and found that his daughter had disappeared.

...

In the evening, when Ye Ruchuan woke up, he opened his eyes and drank the medicine a few sips, and opened his mouth and asked someone to call his sister.

Ye Yunjin came in quickly and saw that his brother was about to get up, so he quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"It's okay, I'm so desperate, I can't die..."

Ye Ruchuan was supported by his sister, bared his teeth and sat upright slowly.

Ye Yunjin said that he had made bone soup for him, so he asked someone to send it.

"I can't eat it! I've come here this time and I have something to discuss with you."

"If you have something to do, wait a little longer..."

"Can't wait!" Ye Ruchuan waved his hand.

Ye Yunjin herself is an impatient person, but her brother is the opposite of her. He is a slow-tempered person and wants to keep three points in one sentence, but this time he is so anxious.

She sat down: "What's the matter?"

Ye Ruchuan touched his gauze-wrapped forehead, which was missing in the back, and gritted his teeth: "On the way my boss Zheng sent me here, he reminded me that he could not see the ancestral life of these kidnapping faces. It must not be from the Xun Mansion. I told me to be more careful in the future. Even if I don't have Zheng Da, I'm still clear in my heart. Except for Xun Dashou, who would think of me to die? I blamed myself for being careless. I didn't expect that he would dare to attack me now because of someone behind him!"

The Xun family is also a big family in the medicinal materials business in the province. Xun Dashou has always wanted to take the position of the president of the guild, but in terms of prestige and strength, he has been overthrown by Ye Ruchuan in the past, and in the early years he could only shrink.

Now the world has changed. Last year, Lu Hongda, who was asked to climb up to a former Qing magistrate, who has now become a senior official, has changed suddenly.

Xun Dashou pressed step by step and made small moves behind his back. However, Ye Ruchuan had been operating in the provincial capital for many years. Although he had no support from high-ranking officials, he still made friends with several people from all walks of life. In addition, he was righteous and willing to consider small and medium-sized businesses. Naturally, everyone did not want Xun Dashou, who had always been greedy for profit and selfishness, to take the seat, so he worked together. At the beginning of the year, the president of the Chamber of Commerce was re-elected. Although new health officials from the province came forward, Xun Dashou still failed to get what he wanted.

It's not easy, he's going to attack secretly now.

If it weren't for the good luck, my brother would probably be on the road to death this time. At that time, he would have encountered bandits, so where can he reason?

Moreover, this is not a simple matter that can be accomplished by giving up the position of president. Even if the elder brother gives up the position of president, no one can withstand two tigers, Xun Dashou will definitely swallow the Ye family's industry and market in the future, and it will also affect his side.

Unless she and her brother are willing to admit defeat and give everything they have worked hard for most of their life to give it to others for nothing.

It’s not that she scared herself, today’s affairs are just the beginning.

Ye Yunjin frowned.

"Sister, what I'm here to talk to you this time is related to this!"

Ye Ruchuan suddenly felt energetic, "Do you still remember the He family? Didn't there be a young master Sun who had to take care of his old genitals for many years?"

Ye Yunjin was stunned: "He family?" She thought for a moment, "Is it the distant relative of the He family that we visited the old man a few times over the years?"

"Yes, it's the He family!"

Ye Ruchuan forgot his legs, and slapped his face and suddenly twitched. He felt a "hiss". Seeing his sister's concern, he waved his hand quickly: "It's okay, it's okay, you just sound like that. The grandson of the He family was only ten years old when something happened. He was not in good health. He didn't expect that he had not survived it, but now he has become a very small official outside. He is young and promising and has a bright future. The He family is about to get up again!"

Ye Yunjin was stunned and sat back slowly and said, "So what, the He family and our Ye family were not considered serious relatives. We came to us for the past exchanges. They gave us face to let us go in and kowtow to the old man. You always recognize that Young Master Sun is a brother, and they have called you brother. I am afraid that you don't even know whether you are round or flat. Besides, in the past, we didn't help anything when something happened to the He family. Now that they are up, why do we come to the door to recognize each other again?"

The mother of the Ye family and the wife of the He family were cousins ​​and sisters who were far away from each other. In the past, even if the family made a mistake and wanted to join the Nine clans, the other family probably wouldn't be able to get a knife. No wonder Ye Yunjin said that.

Ye Ruchuan smiled and said, "You are really right. Let me tell you the truth. I helped the top leader back then!"

Seeing his sister's expression of surprise, Ye Ruchuan couldn't help but feel a little proud and did not keep it in a snatch: "More than ten years ago, the He family was searching the house, and hundreds of people fled, and they were sold. One day, someone came to me and asked me if I wanted to buy a girl to serve him. He said that it was from the He family, who knew the words and clever, and looked very smart, but the price was a little higher. I went to see it. It turned out to be the granddaughter of the old housekeeper, Lao Liu. I saw it when I went to the He family to worship the old man. I was only ten years old at that time. I thought about it and couldn't bear it, so I bought it. I heard that there were still people in my hometown, and later I gave it to her."

"I didn't have any thoughts at the beginning, but I just felt that the He family had collapsed. After all, I came to recognize relatives in the past and had received convenience. Since I encountered it, I couldn't tell you if I didn't reach out, but it was just a few taels of silver. I didn't expect that a few months ago, I welcomed an old school official who came back to work in the capital. I heard the news about the young master of the He family, saying that it was very prosperous now. But at the beginning, I didn't know where the popularity came from. I said that I was cruel and ruthless, and I didn't know how many lives I had in my hands. I was not a good master.

I believed it, so I gave up. Unexpectedly, when I met by chance, I knew I was a fellow villager, I was unexpectedly humble and a man who regarded himself as a very graceful person. He was unforgettable to me. He praised him in front of me, saying that the three of them became tigers, the rumors were hateful, and it ruined the reputation of a person in vain. I remembered this incident back then, and asked a friend to send a letter and said half of it. Originally, I didn't have much hope, but I was forced to do nothing and tried my luck with shamelessness. Unexpectedly, I replied to the news some time ago!"

Honglian just brought in a bowl of white bone soup. She was so stunning that she couldn't help but urge: "Uncle, what do you say over there?"

"Young Master Sun from He's family asked someone to bring a message, saying that we heard that our family has children studying for medical treatment in the provincial capital, and there is an Army Medical College there. Now it is recruiting students and letting the children take the exam. As long as they pass the grades, they can complete their studies smoothly. In the future, he can help to apply to the Health Department to work."

His eyes were bright and shiny.

"Sister! I won't talk about what will happen in the future. This is the meaning of the He family's grandson being nostalgic and willing to recognize us as relatives! Can we not seize this opportunity? Xun Dashou has Lu Hongda as his backer, and we have the He family!"

"This is great! Speaking of which, wasn't the He family framed by someone surnamed Lu?" Honglian also interrupted excitedly.

During the Qing Dynasty, the He family was a great family of officials in the provincial capital. At that time, the old man was placed in the Jiangnan Daotai and was in charge of the salt administration. Because he was unwilling to join forces with Lu Hongda, a fellow countryman who was the prefect at the time, he was not only falsely accused, but also provided evidence that the He family had had contacts with Changmao Shi Dakai who entered Sichuan for decades. Not only did he confirm his rebellion, but he also secretly hid a shocking number of Changmao Cellar after Shi Ni's death.

The old man couldn't take it out and could not clear the He family. The court convicted him. The He family, which was originally a local rich family, disappeared from the sight of the people in the provincial capital.

More than ten years later, just as the old things in the He family were gradually forgotten, unexpectedly, the descendants of the He family appeared again and could still be regarded as their backers. No wonder my brother was so anxious to come to find him.

Ye Yunjin hesitated.

The elder brother didn't notice his sister's silence and continued, "Sister, no matter whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Dahun Kingdom, the red top is the right way, especially the people like us. So I come to you and let Xue Zhi go over and recognize this cousin! Don't miss the opportunity!"

Ye Yunjin hesitated for a moment, and remembered his daughter's decisive action three days ago, and she could not hold on any longer.

She tentatively said: "Brother, the young master of the He family will not designate to go to Xuezhi. You also know that she is not very convenient. I think it's better to call Xianqi back from Dongyang and let him go and read it, the same is true."

Ye Xianqi is Ye Ruchuan's only son. Two years ago, when Su Xuezhi went to the provincial capital to study in a medical school, he looked down on him and said that he wanted to study in Dongyang, saying that medicine was developed there. Although Ye Ruchuan was worried, he could not resist his son in the end, so he agreed to his request and sent him to study in Dongyang. It has been two years now.

Ye Ruchuan said: "I don't know that Xuezhi is inconvenient. I immediately called Xianqi and asked him to come back. He refused, saying that his ambition was not in his career. He also said that his studies were in a critical period and his homework was excellent. He was a top student. After Dongyang's study, the professor would recommend him to go to the West to continue his further studies, but he would not return if he was beaten to death. I really had no choice. I couldn't take people back to Dongyang, so I thought about letting Xuezhi go up first, and wait for Xianqi to get his diploma and return to the country before re-arrangement. Now, as long as we have a relationship with the He family, we have more contacts, and with Xianqi's qualifications, we will not worry about not helping him."

"Don't worry, sister, I've considered it all," he said, "Xuezhi went there. I will make arrangements for admission and daily life, and there will be no trouble."

Ye Yunjin knew that she could not hide it anymore, so she signaled Honglian to go to the door to watch, and then told her daughter that she was almost in trouble three days ago when she was trying to recover from her daughter's body.

"Brother," this woman who has been stronger for half her life has red eyes.

"I am a person with a poor life, and I have only a little bit of blood in my life. I originally planned to wait until I find a safe and suitable person, so I would come to her for the house and let her be my sister again. Now it seems that it will not work, let alone let her go to study there again. If something really happens to her, what's the point of living?"
