Chapter 507: The donkey’s lips are not the horse’s mouth.
Yi Xiaotian took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes slightly. Only then did he really take a good look at Huang Chengyan, an old scholar who had seemed a little out of place with others in the Prefecture Mufu.
"Is this true? Mr. Huang, you also heard it. What the two generals said is the truth. As the head of the Huang family, you should know that your decision... affects not only you alone..."
Before Yi Xiaotian finished speaking, he was actually testing Huang Chengyan...
He has a very clear mind. How concerned is a celebrity like Huang Chengyan about protecting his reputation? Making the decision to abandon the noble family may be easy for Yi Xiaotian, but for Huang Chengyan - he
The roots of his life have been buried deep in the gentry class for a long time. Such a decision is tantamount to overthrowing his past achievements and making a huge gamble...
"I have already understood this. Of course...it is normal for Master Yi to have doubts...but I can swear on my own reputation that today's decision was definitely not directed by the Family Alliance...In fact, I don't think...the Family Alliance
This time we will win."
Huang Chengyan raised his head and spoke, his eyes full of determination. Xu Chu and Le Jin also looked at each other a little bit at this words...
"This old man is not simple..."
Xu Chu and Le Jin certainly felt that Yi Xiaotian would definitely not lose to this alliance of Xiangyang families... But as an outsider, Huang Chengyan could still make such a judgment. It was indeed not easy. At least in terms of vision, Huang Chengyan was ahead of others.
A long paragraph…
Yi Xiaotian didn't seem surprised, but Huang Chengyan could see the situation clearly...
In another time and space, Huang Chengyan made the "seemingly stupid" decision to marry his daughter to Zhuge Liang. Because of this, not only Huang Chengyan was ridiculed, but Zhuge Liang was also ridiculed for many years...
However, time has told everyone the answer. Zhuge Liang's subsequent achievements can be regarded as a slap in the face of those famous people in Jingzhou, and Huang Chengyan, as Zhuge Liang's father-in-law, is naturally very famous...
Of course, this is all a matter of another time and space... The current fact is that Huang Chengyan seems to have once again made a decision that can affect their family, and now it is Yi Xiaotian who needs to respond.
"I've heard about Master Yi's name for a long time. Previously, Ma Su of the Ma family was questioned and beheaded by Master Yi on the street. How can such courage be possessed by those sanctimonious people from Xiangyang?"
"Not to mention that for many years, there have been rumors that Zhuang Yi helped the Prime Minister fight for world dominance... So I don't think that the alliance of aristocratic families headed by Ma Liang of the Ma family can compete with Zhuang Yi... Presumably... Zhuang Yi is now
Do you already have a strategy to break the alliance?"
"Under such circumstances, I am just weighing the pros and cons and putting my money on the side of Master Yi. What qualifications do they have to restrain me?"
Huang Chengyan said it quite confidently, which indeed made Yi Xiaotian a little impressed.
"It's just that Yi used his villain's heart to find a way out of a gentleman's belly... I can't believe that Mr. Huang has such foresight... In this case, one more friend and one less enemy, why not?"
Yi Xiaotian smiled and offered a cup of tea to Huang Chengyan, which was considered an accurate response to Huang Chengyan.
However, even Yi Xiaotian didn't see that what Huang Chengyan said was actually half the truth and half a lie...
The bet on Yi Xiaotian was of course true. Huang Chengyan said he would support him, but in fact he had made more plans in case Yi Xiaotian lost to Ma Liang and the others. The Huang family would move out of Xiangyang and follow Yi Xiaotian...
But those so-called admirers of Yi Xiaotian think that Yi Xiaotian is incredibly courageous. For the sake of the Huang family, it is natural that he made up the reason for criticizing other aristocratic families for being sanctimonious.
He is the body of Tu Yi Xiaotian!
...Oh no... It should be said that he just fell in love with Yi Xiaotian and planned to take this opportunity to marry his daughter to Yi Xiaotian...
Poor our Master Yi, he hasn't put much effort into the love between his children. It's not that he doesn't like it, but it's just that it's not time...
"Hahahahaha, Master Yi is really a cheerful person. I guess I saw you right... Today, Master Yi has decided on the top of the hill. I think the construction will start soon? I have a group of skilled craftsmen in my family. If you don't mind,
, when I return to the house and give some instructions, I will ask them to come to the village owner to lend a helping hand..."
"As for building materials, Ma Liang has said before that any merchant or big owner who dares to sell to you, Master Yi, will suffer their collective revenge——"
Huang Chengyan snorted coldly and said rather arrogantly:
"This matter will be handled by me. Whatever materials Village Master Yi needs, I will definitely ask the entire clan to help Village Master!"
"This is really a big help. I never thought that those famous celebrities would do such shameless things to deal with you!"
Zhen Luo was fuming, her brows filled with worry.
However... Having said that, Yi Xiaotian continued to ask:
"But...Mr. Huang, you just said that you came to me today for two things...I don't know about the second thing..."
Yi Xiaotian thought that he already knew Huang Chengyan's purpose, but Huang Chengyan still seemed a little secretive, which made Yi Xiaotian a little strange.
"Haha...this second thing is easy to say..."
"During the day, Villa Master Yi seemed to have mentioned my daughter Wan Zhen's name, but I don't know where Master Yi heard it from, but he has some feelings for his daughter..."
"Oh! This is what Mr. Huang is talking about!"
Huang Chengyan held his words in his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yi Xiaotian.
"I really want to tell you...Yi has long heard that the daughter of Huang's family is known as a talented woman, and she is also very clever. This villa is about to be built. Yi wants to ask if Huang's daughter has any.
Do you want to come to my villa to do some work?"
Yi Xiaotian said it naturally, which made Huang Chengyan speechless. The words in his mouth were stuck in his stomach, making him cough repeatedly.
On the contrary, Zhen Luo suddenly covered her mouth. Seeing Huang Chengyan's embarrassed expression, she reacted first and realized what Huang Chengyan was thinking...
Zhen Luo looked at Huang Chengyan in surprise, and then at Yi Xiaotian, who was unaware at all. She felt a little bit dumbfounded, covering her mouth but turning her face to the side——
Good guy, the next scene can only be described as funny. Huang Chengyan and Yi Xiaotian were talking to each other, but they were not on the same channel at all.
Huang Chengyan had no choice but to try to sell his daughter, but Yi Xiaotian agreed wholeheartedly, saying that he would visit her at home, as if he were hiring a bookkeeper, which left Huang Chengyan speechless several times.
But in short, they still reached a consensus:
"In this case, it is better for Yi to be respectful and obey my order. I will visit you someday! I hope it won't be too disturbing..."
"No, no, no, no! What did Master Yi say?"
Huang Chengyan smiled awkwardly, but he didn't know how aggrieved he was. He could see that Yi Xiaotian didn't care about his daughter at all.
