In the study room of Ye Mansion, Gu Qinghuan, who was invited, saluted Ye Lingtian.
After sizing up the young man standing below for a while, Ye Lingtian thought about what Ye Shuo told him when he came back yesterday.
"Boss Song agreed to come, but he hopes that grandpa you will allow him to see him alone and not tell anyone about it."
Ye Lingtian was a little surprised when he first heard this request, but he soon thought that this should be regarded as a sign that Boss Song was confident. Otherwise, he would not have made the request for the first time when he didn't have anything in his stomach.
Smiling slightly, Ye Lingtian said: "Boss Song is now a famous figure in the town."
"Master Ye, that's ridiculous. I'm just running an inn to make ends meet."
"Haha, you are barely living hand to mouth. Boss Ye is so humble."
Yesterday, Ye Lingtian had heard many stories about Boss Song from the housekeeper. It can be said that although this boss has not been in Jiyuan Town for a long time, he has done a lot of things.
Not only did he solve the business problems of several wealthy businessmen in the town, but he also cured several members of several big families who were suffering from stubborn illnesses. This was how he was able to win over so many big shots in a short period of time.
After chatting with Gu Qinghuan for a few words, Ye Lingtian went straight to the topic: "I heard from Shuo'er that Boss Song has the ability to help me find out who wants to embarrass my Ye family?"
"I do have some thoughts on this matter, but I just need your cooperation, Mr. Ye."
Seeing that Boss Song skipped the guessing stage and directly gave a solution, Ye Lingtian was a little surprised and said: "Oh? You already have a solution?"
"Yes, that's all it takes..."
…
At Xu o'clock the next day, a drunken Wu Qingce followed Ye Shuo back to Ye Mansion. An angry Ye Shuo rushed into the main hall and shouted: "Grandpa! Find someone else to accompany Wu Qingce out tomorrow, I can't serve him anymore.
"
This sentence was shouted loudly, and almost everyone in Ye Mansion heard it.
Ye Lingtian, who was drinking tea, frowned after hearing this and said, "Why are you yelling? How do I usually teach you?"
"Grandpa, it's not that I want to yell, it's that Wu Qingce is so annoying. He wants me to buy him some expensive jade, antique calligraphy and paintings every day. I usually can't bear to go to the Jingtai store, but it's good for him. As soon as I go in, I see
I have to buy everything! I think it’s a lie that he came to apologize, but it’s true that he’s blackmailing us!”
At this time, Wu Qingce, who was drunk, walked in and said with a smile: "Why don't we just buy some porcelain fabrics? Why is Mr. Ye so stingy?"
"Stingy! Do you know how much you spent!?"
The quarrel between the two became louder and louder, and soon, several of Ye Lingtian's sons heard the noise and came over, and many maids and servants also gathered quietly to watch the fun.
"My master gave you such a valuable seventh-grade elixir. Is it wrong for you to buy something for me to take back to honor my master?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Lingtian's sons all frowned, and Ye Chuan even slapped the table and said: "Wu! I gave you a good look a few days ago, so you really take yourself seriously, right?"
?”
"That's enough! Why are you arguing!" At this time, Ye Lingtian slammed the table and took a long breath and said: "Qing Ce has come all the way. Whatever he wants, just buy it and give it to him. Why are you so fussy about it?"
"But Grandpa!"
"Okay! Stop talking, it's decided like this."
After listening to Ye Lingtian's words, Wu Qingce cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ye." After saying that, he hummed a little tune and left.
Among the remaining Ye family members, Ye Chuan took the lead in shouting: "A few days ago, I really thought that Guixin Sect was sincerely coming to apologize, but now it seems that they are still entertaining us!"
"Brother, Wu Qingce may not have done this because of Sect Leader Lu's instructions."
"Are you still a member of the Ye family? Why are your elbows always turned outwards! This Gui Xin Sect insults us over and over again. You can bear it, but I can't!"
…
In the main hall, the quarrels became louder and louder. Soon, the housekeeper came out to drive away the maids and servants and said: "Go, go, go, is this something you should hear? You are going to die, right?"
After hearing this, everyone immediately dispersed, and one of the tea maids showed a smile on her face, a very happy smile.
On the other side, the "drunk" Wu Qingce returned to his courtyard, looked at Gu Qinghuan in the room and said: "Qing... Boss Song, is this method really effective?"
"Since there are four major families in this prosperous Jiyuan Town, it is inevitable to have spies on each other, and I exchanged a lot of information in the inn, so you can rest assured."
"Then what do we do next?"
"avoid arousing suspicion."
"Avoid suspicion?" Wu Qingce asked doubtfully.
"Well, our duty is to help the Ye family find out where the spy is. As for who the spy is...it's best if we don't know."
"Oh~" Wu Qingce nodded, indicating that he understood.
At noon the next day, there were new rumors in Jiyuan Town, saying that the Guixin Sect had sent disciples to continue insulting the Ye family, and the quarrels could be heard clearly from three streets away.
After listening to the butler's report, Ye Lingtian nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, go and invite Boss Song and Qing Ce."
"yes."
Soon, Gu Qinghuan and Wu Qingce arrived at the side hall, where several core members of the Ye family were present.
After the two of them finished saluting, Ye Lingtian said happily: "Boss Song, the mouse has been caught. I have to thank you for your idea."
The idea given by Lu Qinghuan was very simple. Since the other party wanted to make the Ye family embarrassed, then just make the Ye family embarrassed again. The informant would definitely be eager to send the news to the master.
But this time, Ye Lingtian, who had already sent several cronies to keep an eye on the mansion, quickly found out who was the one who sent the news.
At this time, several core tribe members also knew what happened. Ye Chuan slapped the table and shouted: "Dad! Who is that person who ate the inside out? I'll kill him for you!"
After hearing this, Ye Lingtian shook his head and said, "No, I will keep that person for use. You can just pretend that you don't know."
After hearing this, Gu Qinghuan couldn't help but cup his hands and said, "Master Ye is wise."
For the Ye family, there is no point in killing the person who spread the news. After all, the fact that the engagement was annulled is true, and it is not a rumor made by others. Even if he is killed, the Ye family will still be the Ye family whose engagement was annulled.
.
It's better to keep that person and find opportunities to use it in the opposite direction in the future, maybe it will work wonders.
"Boss Song, I have recorded this sentiment. Now shall we talk about the next cooperation?"
The annulment of the engagement was already a certainty. Even if Wu Qingce announced in front of everyone in Jiyuan Town that he was coming to apologize on behalf of the Guixin Sect, it would be useless, because it would not change the fact that the Ye family had the annulment of the engagement.
Since explanations are useless, let’s just stop explaining them. After chatting with the head of the Ye family for a while yesterday, Gu Qinghuan discovered that Mr. Ye didn’t actually care about the rumors circulating in the town. After all, this kind of thing cannot happen to them.
What substantial harm.
What he was more concerned about was whether Lu Yinlong really didn't like his old brother anymore. Now that Wu Qingce's arrival has made Ye Lingtian get rid of this worry.
Therefore, instead of saying that Lu Qinghuan came to help the Ye family resolve the matter of breaking off the engagement, it would be better to say that he came to use the opportunity of breaking up the engagement to establish a relationship with the Ye family.
Hearing Ye Lingtian's question, Gu Qinghuan nodded and said, "Of course, I've brought him with me and he's waiting outside."
"Okay, please come soon."
Seeing their old man's happy expression, his sons couldn't help but look at each other, increasingly confused as to what the old man and the sudden appearance of Boss Song were doing.
While several people were looking around blankly, Luo Wenzhou walked into the meeting hall under the leadership of the butler.
"Junior Lin Yu, pay your respects to Mr. Ye." Luo Wenzhou cupped his hands and said.
"Are you the third-grade alchemist who can refine fourth-grade elixirs that Boss Song said?"
Luo Wenzhou cupped his hands and said, "The younger generation is not talented, that's right."
The third-level alchemist exploded in the hall like a thunderbolt, and the expressions of Ye Lingtian's sons quickly changed from inexplicable to surprised.
Alchemists, like cultivators, both require talent to become. Hard work is useless. Moreover, compared to cultivators, the number of alchemists is even rarer, and most of them are stuck in the first or second level and can only be refined.
Come up with some of the most basic elixirs.
But even such an alchemist is an existence that major families compete for, because it basically represents common use, and commonly used things are always the most profitable.
Because the Ye family can only be ranked third in the Jiyuan Town, it is difficult to attract alchemists with their own strength. There is only one second-grade alchemist trained by them in the family, but the power is comparable to that of other families like them.
Core members stand shoulder to shoulder.
Now the old man has quietly recruited a third-grade alchemist, which makes Ye Chuan and the others a little unbelievable.
Nodding with satisfaction, Ye Lingtian looked at Gu Qinghuan and said: "Don't worry, Boss Song, since you keep your word, I will definitely not break your promise. From now on, the Ye family will be the backing of Taoju Inn."
"Thank you, Mr. Ye."
Seeing that the plan was successful, Gu Qinghuan smiled.
Since the problem of the rumors of breaking off the engagement could not be solved, it was simply not solved. What Lu Qinghuan chose was to use practical benefits to satisfy the Ye family's greater needs.
As long as the Ye family's shop can produce third- and fourth-grade elixirs, what does it matter whether he cancels the engagement or not? Other families have to beg to cooperate with him.
Ye Lingtian laughed happily, stared at Gu Qinghuan and asked: "But I still don't understand. I believe there are many families who want to cooperate with Boss Song in recent days, right? Why would Boss Song choose our Ye family?"
Gu Qinghuan had long expected that Ye Lingtian would ask this question and replied: "Because the Ye family seems to need my help the most."
"Hahahaha!" Ye Lingtian looked up and laughed after hearing this: "I like to cooperate with smart people."
The meaning of Gu Qinghuan's words is very simple. The friendship of providing help in times of need is far greater than the icing on the cake. He can indeed go to the Hong family or the Shao family to cooperate, but among the two top families in Jiyuan Town, it is definitely impossible to enjoy the cooperation with the Ye family.
Same treatment.
In this way, Gu Qinghuan successfully reached a cooperation with the Ye family and started a step-by-step collaboration plan.
Not only did the Ye family get rid of the haze of being "annulled" in a short period of time, but their business was also booming, and they even vaguely wanted to catch up with the two big families of Hong and Shao.
On this day, Ye Fan, who had just finished practicing, suddenly received a notice from the housekeeper, saying that the master asked him to go there.
After replying "I know", Ye Fan put on clean clothes and came to the side hall.
"Grandpa." After saluting Ye Lingtian, Ye Fan looked at Gu Qinghuan and Luo Wenzhou next to him and saluted: "Mr. Song, Mr. Lin."
For these two guests, Ye Fan felt a rare feeling of admiration in his heart.
Since these two people came to the Ye family, all aspects of the Ye family's business have been booming. It's as if the incident of being divorced had never happened. This has made his living space much larger, and those cousins can be arrogant again.
Go to Goulan and listen to the music instead of venting your anger on him.
So Ye Fan was still very grateful to these two guests in his heart.
Nodding towards Ye Fan, Ye Lingtian said: "Fan'er, after hearing about your case, Mr. Lin said that he wanted to diagnose something for you, why don't you say thank you quickly."
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then his eyes immediately lit up and he said: "Grandpa, what you are talking about is..."
"Yes, it's what you're thinking. Although many doctors we've invited to diagnose you have failed, but Master Lin is different from them. I believe he may be able to find out what's wrong with you."
Regarding the sudden disappearance of Ye Fan's talent, Ye Lingtian actually felt it was a pity. You must know that the talent Ye Fan showed at that time was completely possible to surpass him, the leader of the clan, and rush to a higher level.
Unexpectedly, Ye Fan, the young eagle, had his wings broken before he could spread his wings, which he, the head of the Ye family, has never been able to accept.
He has also found some high-quality alchemists, but although these alchemists are good at making alchemy, they are not good at medical skills. As for doctors... they are even rarer than alchemists.
It can be said that there are very few people who are good at alchemy and medicine in this Xuanlong Continent, because these are two completely different knowledges, and not many people have these two talents at the same time.
But those who can master these two majors at the same time will be very powerful when they grow up.
So after hearing that Lin Yu was good at medicine, Ye Lingtian immediately thought of his little grandson.
Although every diagnosis result in the past would only disappoint Ye Fan, he never gave up, so after listening to his grandfather’s words, Ye Fan immediately turned to look at Luo Wenzhou and said with cupped hands: “Thank you, sir.”
Luo Wenzhou shook his head and said with a smile: "Doctors are kind-hearted. This is what I should do. Come on, let me feel your pulse first."
Seeing Luo Wenzhou waving first, Mark immediately walked over and stretched out his right hand.
Luo Wenzhou nodded, stretched out two fingers and placed them on Mark's pulse.
