After Ye Shaofeng got out of the car, the Zhongnanhai bodyguard drove away. In the compound, the Shangguan family's servants had already been there to greet him. A steward with gray hair walked up to Ye Shaofeng, bowed to Ye Shaofeng and said, "Welcome Governor Ye. , the master is waiting for you upstairs, please come with me,"
Ye Shaofeng followed the housekeeper into a building similar to a small palace, and then went straight to the study on the second floor. Shangguan Kaijun was in the study, practicing calligraphy.
Ye Shaofeng felt a little surprised at the time. His wife was still lying in the mourning hall. How could Shangguan Kaijun be in the mood to practice calligraphy at home? He was such a busy man and didn't even have time to go to his wife's funeral. I have time to write calligraphy at home, and even have time to meet an outsider at home.
Seeing Ye Shaofeng walk in, Shangguan Kaijun put down his chief's brush, looked at Ye Shaofeng with a smile, and said, "Governor Ye, please sit down."
"Chief Shangguan, long time no see," Ye Shaofeng said, sitting on the sofa for guests. As soon as he sat down, the servant served him a cup of fine Longjing tea. After serving the tea, the servant hurriedly left the room.
Shangguan Kaijun and Ye Shaofeng exchanged a few words, then picked up the brush again and began to write ink on the rice paper. While writing, Shangguan Kaijun began to lead the topic to the main topic.
"The death of my wife this time is a big blow to Shangguan Yunmeng," Shangguan Kaijun said.
Ye Shaofeng thought to himself, is it just a blow to Shangguan Yunmeng? Is it not a blow to you at all? Is this how you, wealthy and aristocratic families, treat the mutual affection?
Of course, Ye Shaofeng can only keep these words in his heart. Such words must not be spoken out. After all, this is someone else's business. If you say it, it is tantamount to interfering in someone else's internal affairs. You are not qualified, let alone have the right.
Ye Shaofeng could only say: "Don't worry, chief, Yunmeng's mood has stabilized. I will always be by her side these days."
"Okay, you are very caring and are good to my daughter. Although you eloped with my daughter before, which had a very bad impact on our Shangguan family, I think you are sincere to my daughter. For my own sake, I will not pursue this matter further," Shangguan Kaijun said.
Ye Shaofeng was even more confused. He didn't know what Shangguan Kaijun meant by calling him here. He didn't talk about the funeral, as if his wife's death had nothing to do with him. He also didn't talk about Ye Shaofeng's return to the Ye family. Logically speaking, Ye Shaofeng's return to the Ye family should be the Shangguan family's biggest concern.
Shangguan Kaijun didn't mention a word about these two important issues. Instead, he started talking to Ye Shaofeng about his relationship with Shangguan Yunmeng.
The more Ye Shaofeng talked, the more confused he became. He didn't know what kind of medicine Shangguan Kaijun, an old fox, was selling in his gourd.
Shangguan Kaijun said: "My daughter is also infatuated with you. Nowadays, young people like you rarely have true feelings. If you are sincere to my daughter, I don't think it would be better like this. Our family will end up like this." For the in-laws, this will firstly fulfill the relationship between you and Yunmeng, and secondly, it can well promote the political cooperation between our two families and better contribute to the country. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Ye Shaofeng was confused at the time. Shangguan Kaijun was going to get married. Why did he suddenly change his attention? Instead of wooing the Qin family, he turned to the Ye family. You know, the Ye family and the Shangguan family are Among the central families, the two most powerful families are also the two families with the most obvious disputes. Since the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the two families have been competing constantly and making a living. Although the people of the two families are talking and laughing on the surface, But privately, they are both sworn enemies of each other. How can two families with such deep grievances get married? This... this seems like a dream.
"Why, why haven't you spoken? Could it be that your feelings for my daughter are all false," Shangguan Kaijun said.
"That's not true. I'm just wondering if it's a bit inappropriate to talk about marriage at this time," Ye Shaofeng said suddenly.
Ye Shaofeng is right. It is the second day after Shangguan Yunmeng's mother passed away. According to the rules of the central wealthy families, if a mourning hall is set up to receive condolences for seven days, Shangguan Yunmeng's mother is still in Crystal Palace. There was no one buried in the coffin. Fortunately, the husband, Shangguan Kaijun, actually started to recruit Ye Shaofeng to talk about his late marriage with his daughter. If Ye Shaofeng agreed, wouldn't it be treason? But if he didn't agree, it seems that he would have to do it again. Provoking a deeper conflict between the Ye family and the Shangguan family.
"Don't worry about this. I just want to ask your opinion now. If you have no opinion, I will send an envoy to your home to discuss this matter with your parents and the head of your Ye family. I believe that you, Ye My family should not object to such a marriage," Shangguan Kaijun said.
Shangguan Kaijun's intention was to come to propose marriage, and the woman took the initiative to go to the man's home to propose marriage. This was rare in the history of the Central Kingdom.
Ye Shaofeng never thought about marrying Shangguan Yunmeng, because he had already made a private life-long commitment to Chang Miaoke. Without Chang Miaoke, no one else could become his wife.
However, Ye Shaofeng must not tell anything about himself and Chang Miaoke. Once he does, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble to Chang Miaoke. These people from political families may seem kind-hearted on the surface, but in fact, All of them are vicious and vicious, and they will do anything to achieve their own political goals.
Ye Shaofeng could only say: "My feelings for Yunmeng are true, and Shangguan Yunmeng's feelings for me are definitely real. However, discussing marriage is a matter between the two of us. I think, wait and see After this period of time, I want to have a good talk with Shangguan Yunmeng. As long as the two of us reach an agreement on this matter, I will naturally go back and talk to the family about this matter. When the time comes, I will call the family People come to you in person to negotiate matchmaking,"
Shangguan Kaijun frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Ye Shaofeng's answer. After talking for a long time, Ye Shaofeng was rejecting the matter. Shangguan Kaijun knew that this matter must not be delayed until the funeral of Shangguan Yunmeng's mother was over. , Shangguan Yunmeng is likely to disappear again. If Shangguan Yunmeng disappears again, Shangguan Kaijun will be under more pressure in the family. At this time, there will be people in the family who will rise up to pressure him and force him Abdicate, so with such a tone, it is better to increase your power, change your mind, and let your daughter marry Ye Shaofeng. In this way, after you and the Ye family form an alliance, no one will shake your status in the family. That’s it…
