Chapter 118 Weasel’s New Year’s greetings

Chapter 118: The Weasel Greets the New Year
"Brother Ye, don't go!" Chang Sheng quickly took a few steps to catch up with Ye Xuan and said, "When will the wedding be held? Can you give me a definite answer?"

"Marriage, what marriage?" Ye Xuan said speechlessly: "I haven't agreed yet!"

Chang Sheng pulled his face and accused, "Brother Ye, this is your fault. His Majesty has already introduced you to each other, so why do you regret it?"

"You also know that it's just matchmaking, not arranged marriage, right?" Ye Xuan.

Chang Sheng paused, scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Anyway, we, Old Chang, can't care so much. Even if we don't marry two, we have to choose one to marry, right?"

Ye Xuan couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Brother Chang, you don't want to take away my ten thousand taels of silver, do you?"

"What do you mean by ten thousand taels?" the Chang sisters who had caught up with them asked doubtfully.

"Haha, it's nothing!" Chang Sheng laughed, dragged the two girls and ran away, looking back from a distance and said, "Brother Ye, it's settled. I'll send you five thousand taels and the girls someday and set a big date for the wedding!"

Without waiting for Ye Xuan to say anything, the burly man disappeared without a trace while pulling the two girls.

Ye Xuan stood there, shaking his head helplessly.

Before he could even start to leave, several more people followed him.

Zhang Qiao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, pulled Zhang Quandan and said with a smile, "Your Highness... where are you going, Master Ye? How about I send you off in a carriage?"

Several other people in official uniforms also said, "Take my carriage. The newly built carriage is very comfortable."

"What's the point of riding in a carriage that's so bumpy? You'd better take my sedan chair."

"Hey, Master Liu, it seems that you only brought one sedan chair?"

"That's fine, let Master Ye sit down and I'll just walk."

Ye Xuan was a little confused for a moment, not understanding why these important officials of the court would be so enthusiastic towards a mere Jinyiwei like him.

After a little thought, he thought that these ministers saw him sitting with Zhu Yuanzhang and others, so they thought that he was a popular person around Zhu Yuanzhang, so they tried to curry favor with him.

In fact, it is almost the same, but people do not simply regard Ye Xuan as Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite, but as the romantic debt left by Zhu when he was young.

If Zhu Yuanzhang knew that his ministers were secretly plotting against him like this, he would chop off all their heads!

Although he thought he had figured out the reason, Ye Xuan had no intention of using the tiger's skin to show off.

Ye Xuan politely rejected the invitations of these important officials of the court, and found an excuse to quickly leave these ministers who were somewhat overly enthusiastic.

If he walked slower, several important officials would have been ready to marry their daughters to him.

Looking at Ye Xuan's departing back, the crowd dispersed again into groups of three or five.

Zhang Quandan whispered to his father Zhang Qiao: "Father, do you think this gentleman looks like..."

"I'm not sure!" Zhang Quandan hesitated.

Liu He, the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, interrupted and said, "My Lords, didn't you see how the three brothers and sisters of Chang Sheng from the Prince of Kaiping treated that gentleman? And I don't know if you noticed what Chang Sheng said to that gentleman before he left!"

"What did he say?" Everyone was just observing Ye Xuan and ignored Chang Sheng.

When Liu He mentioned it, he immediately became curious!

Liu He said mysteriously, "Chang Sheng said that he would set a big wedding date some other day and give five thousand taels and my sister to that gentleman!"

"Think about it, what is a happy day? Besides getting married, what other happy days are there?" "And a sister, five thousand taels, haven't you thought of anything else, gentlemen?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sound of people sucking in their breaths of cold air.

"Hiss, it's hard to understand why Chang Sheng wants to marry his sister to that gentleman, and even give him a dowry of 5,000 taels!"

Someone came to his senses and said in shock.

Who is Chang Sheng? He is the son of Kaiping King Chang Yuchun. Chang Sheng’s sister is naturally a princess.

Let me ask you, if Ye Xuan was really an ordinary captain of the Jinyiwei, how could Chang Sheng treat the princess as a mere warrior?
Moreover, he is the notorious Jinyiwei in Yingtian Prefecture. Isn’t he afraid of being despised by all the civil and military officials in the court?

And it's not enough to marry a sister, it seems that a dowry of 5,000 taels is also required.

However, this only proves that Chang Sheng really wants to marry his sister to Ye Xuan, so there is nothing to be surprised about.

Although five thousand taels sounds like a lot, it is enough for an ordinary family to live a life of luxury.

However, this is a normal scene for the marriage of Princess Kaiping.

After figuring out the connection, everyone connected it with all the strange things that happened at the garden party, and they became even more convinced that Ye Xuan was Zhu Yuanzhang's romantic debt!

As we all know, when children who have been away from home for many years return to their parents, their parents will always give them more compensation out of guilt.

In other words, maybe Ye Xuan will never get the status of a prince in his life, but as long as Zhu Yuanzhang is alive, Ye Xuan can walk all over the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but have different thoughts.

Some people are thinking about how to make friends with Ye Xuan. If they make a mistake accidentally in the future, this will be a life-saving straw.

Some people planned to win over Ye Xuan, thinking that through Ye Xuan they could speak well of him in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and perhaps they could move up the position that had remained stagnant for many years.

With all these considerations, Ye Xuan still didn't know that his "popularity" was about to explode.

At this time, Ye Xuan had returned home and enjoyed the dinner carefully prepared by Xia Yu. After Nian Wei's massage turned into touching and they fought for several hours, Fancai fell into a deep sleep.

…………

The next day.

As soon as day broke, the Ye Mansion attracted uninvited guests.

"Brother Chang, if we're talking about marriage, please don't open your mouth."

Looking at Chang Sheng who was grinning in front of him, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel a headache.

What gave him even more headaches were the Chang sisters who seemed extremely shy.

Looking at the fiery gazes the two girls gave him, Ye Xuan even wondered if the two girls would have eaten him directly if their second brother was not present!
However, to Ye Xuan's surprise, Chang Sheng actually did not come for the marriage.

"Brother Ye, look at what you said. It makes me look like a coercive salesman. If you don't want to, can I still force the girl on you?"

Ye Xuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. Just as he was about to say a few words to Chang Sheng, he saw Chang Sheng change the subject, stood up, walked around the living room a few times, and said leisurely, "Brother Ye, although your mansion is a little small, it is quiet and elegant. I want to bring my two sisters to stay in your mansion for a few days. Do you mind, Brother Ye?"

I mind, I mind so much!
When Chang Sheng opened his mouth, the sound of abacus reached Ye Xuan's ears.

The pure weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, with no good intentions!
