Chapter 515 The undercurrent of Yingtian Mansion
"Hey, hey, hey, I still have a backlog of errands to finish! What are you going to do?"
Faced with Luke's behavior, Zhao Kaifeng expressed his helplessness and could only remind him.
But Friend Luke retorted impatiently.
"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I came here specifically to tell you the good news. You don't want to spoil my fun, do you?"
Luyou's words made Zhao Kaifeng a little confused and asked quickly.
"What do you mean? Why are you taking me there?"
Lu Youyou had a strange expression on his face and looked at Zhao Kaifeng as if he were a fool.
"You are confused, Lao Zhao! As subordinates, we should have gone to pay New Year's greetings today. Now that such a happy event has happened, we cannot lag behind others!"
After hearing this, Zhao Kaifeng could not refute.
Last year when Ye Xuan came, the Chinese New Year had already passed, so they didn't go to visit him.
But according to the rules, lower-level officials should indeed go to their superiors to pay New Year greetings, and they must also prepare gifts.
The reason why Zhao Kaifeng forgot about this issue was not because of negligence, but because Ye Xuan had something to say before.
According to Ye Xuan, he doesn't like to be disturbed by others during the festival. In the past few festivals, he blocked all visitors and even confiscated no gifts.
So this year, Zhao Kaifeng even forgot about preparing gifts. Now that he was reminded, he remembered it again.
As a result, he seemed a little embarrassed.
After all, it’s not etiquette to go empty-handed when visiting someone’s house to pay New Year greetings.
But there's nothing we can do about it. It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, and not even a single shop is open on the street.
He had never thought in advance that Zhu Yuanzhang would give Ye Xuan such a large reward, and it was also on the first day of the new year.
So now even if he wants to go, he can't bring out anything at all.
After thinking again and again, Zhao Kaifeng finally made up his mind and picked up an inkstone that had been placed on his desk for a while.
"Okay, let's go, I'll give this to you."
Luke looked at it up and down and knew it was a good item so he didn't say anything more.
Just when the two were about to go out, they bumped into Xie Jin who had just entered the door.
Xie Jin looked at the two of them, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Where are you two adults going?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Zhao Kaifeng and Lu You looked at each other.
At this moment, the two of them were not clear about Ye Xuan's attitude towards Xie Jin. They were worried that if Xie Jin wanted to go with him and made Ye Xuan unhappy, it would be self-defeating.
After thinking for a moment, Luyou said: "Oh, Master Ye School Disciple called us to his house. Maybe there is something that I need to deal with."
Zhao Kaifeng is also a person with a smart heart. When he heard Luke's words, he already knew how to answer.
Immediately, he echoed and said: "Xie Jin, since you are here, you might as well help me handle some official business here first, so as to get familiar with the environment early.
After hearing what the two of them said, Xie Jin could already see that they were unwilling to take him with them.
Just thinking about going to Ye's house made Xie Jin unwilling.
After all, in his heart, he was still Ye Xuan's disciple. On the first day of the new year, two subordinates paid New Year's greetings to Ye Xuan, but he couldn't go, which was a bit unreasonable.
He is an arrogant person by nature, but he restrains himself a lot in front of Ye Xuan.
Now that I feel that I have been slighted by these two people, I will naturally not tolerate it.
He immediately said: "I can be considered Mr. Ye's disciple after all. Since we are going to see Mr. Ye, let's go together. Otherwise, I will be here alone. If anything happens, it will be difficult for the two of you to explain.
There was already a threat in Xie Jin's words, and the two of them were not fools, so how could they not understand it.
It's just that Jie Jin has just arrived, and they should be treated like this, which makes them somewhat unwilling.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room seemed a little awkward and solemn.
The two looked at Xie Jin, not knowing what to say for a moment.
But they already have a tacit understanding in their hearts. After Xie Jin joins the job, they must teach him how to behave.
Poor Xie Jin is so smart all his life, but he never thought that when he came to Yingtian Mansion for the first time, he would offend two superiors in a few words.
Just when the two were in a dilemma, a cold voice sounded from outside the house.
"Why don't you go home during the Chinese New Year?"
The three of them looked outside together, and saw Xuan and his subordinates walking in.
The servant was still carrying a food box in his hand, and it seemed that he had brought a lot of food.
When Ye Xuan entered the room, the three of them hurriedly saluted Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan waved his hand to indicate that the three of them did not have to do this, and then walked to the main seat and sat down...
Looking at the official documents that Zhao Kaifeng had just processed, Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
"We have no one to check on Ying Tianfu's errands, so why bother working so hard? What's the point of waiting for a day or two?"
Ye Xuan gestured towards the servant as he spoke, and the servant immediately put the food box on the table and backed away.
"There is a lot of food there. Since you are all here, let's eat some together."
Zhao Kaifeng and Luke looked at each other, a little confused, why did Ye Xuan appear here at this time?
After all, after Zhu Yuanzhang's decree was issued, Ye Xuan should be very popular among diners, and many people should pay him a visit.
But thinking that Ye Xuan never sticks to one pattern in doing things, the two of them were immediately relieved.
After exchanging glances with each other, both of them thanked Ye Xuan.
In contrast, Xie Jin seemed a bit restrained.
He stood there, looked at Lu You and Zhao Kaifeng, and then at Ye Xuan, looking at a loss.
Seeing him like this, Ye Xuan smiled and urged him: "Go ahead, it won't taste good if it gets cold later!"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Xie Jin was moved, but at the same time he still had doubts.
He came to the Yamen during the Chinese New Year because he was not a local and had no friends around. The busier the place, the more lonely he would feel, so he simply came to the Yamen first.
He originally thought that he should be able to find something to do here to dilute his emotions.
But he never expected that Ye Xuan would be there at 3.9.
He knew very well that Ye Xuan had more than one wife and children in his family.
Now is the day for family reunion, but Ye Xuan came here and seemed to have no intention of going back, which is really surprising.
But Ye Xuan didn't tell him and he didn't dare to ask. Then he saw Ye Xuan walking to the dining table, so he walked over cautiously.
The four of them sat down, and Luke was the first to speak.
"Sir, what happened? Otherwise, why would you come out at this moment?"
Ye Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "You already know about the decree, right? If my house is already restless! Even the garden is crowded with people. If I don't come to the Yamen, I really don't know where I can go." "
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and said, "My wife and children are also in the Yamen now. You can all go back later. You will be with me tonight!"
