Chapter 214 The Fang Family’s Little Trick! (Part
At this moment, someone suddenly saluted loudly: "Mr. Ye, the Governor-General of Jianghuai, has arrived—— "
Jiang Chengfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Duo, the old man, finally came! He must have been hiding in some dark corner just now, watching the show.
Hearing that Governor Ye was coming, the people made way for him. The sedan stopped, and Ye Duo got out of it. He glanced around and asked loudly, "Why are people gathering here?"
"Your humble servant Fang Xianzhong, the Suyang Textile Supervisor, is honored to meet the Governor!" Fang Xianzhong hurried over and bowed.
"Why is Lord Fang here? Aren't you in Suyang? Why are you in Huayang?" Ye Duo put on a serious look as if he was doing something official, which scared Fang Xianzhong so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Fang Xianzhong is the Suyang Weaving Supervisor and should have performed his duties conscientiously. However, he came to Huayang without the permission of his superiors, which is considered as deserting his post. If Ye Duo holds on to this small matter, Fang Xianzhong will at least be suspended from his post and investigated.
Fang Xianzhong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said respectfully, "Because of an emergency at home, I hurried home and didn't have time to report to the Governor. I didn't expect to meet the Governor here!"
Ye Duo said, "Oh," and nodded, "So it's an urgent matter at Lord Fang's home. Well, I won't pursue this matter! But why are so many people gathered here?"
"Governor, I am just handling some trivial matters! I dare not trouble you to worry about me!" Fang Xianzhong said.
"Master Fang is so good at shirking his responsibilities!" Shen Ruoyan sneered, then took two steps forward, bowed and said, "I am Shen Ruoyan, your humble servant, to meet you, Your Excellency the Governor! I have encountered misfortune, so please help me, Your Excellency the Governor!"
Ye Duo was shocked. He glanced at Fang Xianzhong and asked in surprise, "Why do you say that, Miss Shen? Did someone bully you? Tell me, I want to hear it!"
Shen Ruoyan handed over the document signed by Fang Zhi and said respectfully, "Please read this, Governor General! This bet is clearly stated. Not only is Lord Tang a witness, but Bai Feng, the first-rank imperial guard, was entrusted by Lord Tang to testify to this matter!"
Bai Feng clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "It is just as Miss Shen said. Lord Tang can testify about this bet. I was indeed asked by Lord Tang to testify!"
Ye Duo took the white paper and glanced at it, exclaiming: "Oh! It really is Mr. Tang's autograph!"
Then he frowned again, glanced at Fang Xianzhong, and asked, "Master Fang, come and take a look. Is this your son's signature?"
Fang Xianzhong took a look and bowed, saying, "It is indeed my son who signed it!"
Ye Duo sighed, "Master Fang, your son is too careless! Even if you were betting, you couldn't use the family property as a bet. Now that he has lost, he still signed the bet. This is ironclad evidence!"
Fang Xianzhong remained silent, his face looking frighteningly gloomy.
"Master Fang, this has Master Tang's signature on it! Even if we are officials in the same province, I can't favor you!"
After saying that, Ye Duo whispered a few words into Fang Xianzhong's ear. Fang Xianzhong nodded with difficulty, stared at Shen Ruoyan for a long time, and then reluctantly agreed.
After the matter was settled, Ye Duo looked at Shen Ruoyan with a smile and said, "Miss Shen, I have cleared up the misunderstanding between you and Lord Fang! Now, Lord Fang has agreed to hand over the cloth shop to the Shen family. Miss Shen, please manage it carefully!"
Shen Ruoyan thanked him with a smile and bowed to Fang Xianzhong, but Fang Xianzhong snorted coldly without paying any attention to etiquette and turned away.
Fang Xianzhong left, so how could the servants of the Fang family dare to stay? They hurriedly threw away the cloth in their hands, and even the carriage carrying the cloth, and ran away faster than rabbits!
Shen Ruoyan was obviously relieved. She waved her hand and more than a dozen servants of the Shen family rushed over to count the cloth and other property. Shen Ruoyan was very familiar with these things, but Jiang Chengfeng was not interested. However, watching this girl busying around, Jiang Chengfeng suddenly thought very lustfully, if he pressed this girl on the counter and made love with her, what a stimulating scene it would be!
After a dry cough and parting with Ye Duo, Jiang Chengfeng turned to the south city. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Yipinxuan Restaurant, he heard Ah Hui's exclamation, "Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Chengfeng looked up and saw Ah Hui running over like a gust of wind, throwing herself into Jiang Chengfeng's arms, murmuring, "Brother Jiang, you're finally back!"
The little girl's eyes were red and she was about to cry . Her face was still bright and beautiful, but she looked much thinner.
Jiang Chengfeng stroked Ah Hui's cheek and said with a smile, "Actually, I came back last night! But I had to deal with some things this morning, so now I finally have some free time! Little darling, do you miss your brother very much?"
As he said this, he scratched Ah Hui's palm dishonestly.
It was noon, the peak business hour of the day for Yipinxuan, but Jiang Chengfeng shamelessly held Ahui's hand and wouldn't let go. Ahui was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look up. Her little face was flushed, but there was a happy and shy smile on the corner of her mouth.
Pulling Ah Hui up to the fifth floor, Jiang Chengfeng discovered that Ye Lingshuang, Uncle Luo, Luo Dongchuan and others were all there. The talented lady Ye was staring at him with a meaningful smile.
"Even if you're welcoming me back, there's no need to be so grand!" Jiang Chengfeng laughed and said, "By the way, how has Miss Ye been lately?"
Ye Lingshuang smiled and said, "I'm doing OK, but not as well as Brother Jiang! Your deeds in Huazhou have now spread all over Huayang City, such as identifying diamonds and fishing out copper coins from a frying pan. Which one is not amazing? Now many storytellers in teahouses are telling your stories!"
Jiang Chengfeng touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "You're still talking about me? I'll go and listen when I'm free!"
After a pause, he glanced at Ah Hui and asked, "By the way! You all suddenly gathered together, are you discussing something important?"
Speaking of this, Ah Hui pulled Jiang Chengfeng to sit down, " Brother Jiang, we are indeed discussing something! Sister Shuang came here today to talk to you about something!"
Ah Hui has shed her youthful reserve from a few months ago and has become capable and dashing, with a bit of the demeanor of a hotel owner. Jiang Chengfeng saw it and was happy in his heart. It seems that this restaurant is indeed a place that can hone people.
"What's going on?" Jiang Chengfeng held Ah Hui's little hand and looked at everyone with a smile.
Ah Hui was shy, but she didn't break free. She let Jiang Chengfeng hold her hand and said shyly, "Actually, we are just discussing the expansion of the restaurant!"
Jiang Chengfeng remembered that Ah Hui had mentioned this matter last time, so he couldn't help but ask, "So, Ah Hui, have you found a suitable place?"
