Chương 102: Chapter 100 Come to apologize
After the Rubik's Cube incident was over, Jiang Zhu did not go to the town for medical treatment, intending to let Niu rest.
He happened to be grazing the cows, and at the same time he went back to cut some grass for building the cowshed. He took advantage of these few days to build the cowshed.
After adding some water to the bucket for the cow, Jiang Zhu stood by and waited patiently for it to finish drinking. Then he took off the rope and led the cow out.
There was a biting chill in the morning wind, and the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open. Ye Anyian wrapped himself in a cloak, took a coat and chased out.
He took two steps at a time to catch up with Jiang Zhu, who was leading the cow and walking slowly. He gave him some clothes and said, "Take some with you. It will be cold in the morning and evening."
Jiang Zhu took it and put it on his body: "Go back quickly. I will be back before noon. I will build a shed at home in the afternoon."
Ye Anyian nodded.
The two of them were standing outside the gate chatting when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats coming from far away.
Not long after, a medium-sized carriage pulled by three horses broke into their sight.
The carriage has a fine ebony roof, and jade pendants that jingle at the corners are very gorgeous.
Seeing that the carriage was getting closer, Jiang Zhu pulled Ye Anian and the cow to the side to make way for the carriage.
The carriage did not go any further, but stopped at the door of their house.
Ye Anian's heart moved, as if he thought of something.
However, the next moment the car door opened, and Wen Heng jumped out of the car with a bruised and swollen face.
After he got out of the car, he turned around and reached out to the car.
Ye Annian saw an old man wearing a purple brocade robe and a gold and jade hair crown being helped out of the car.
"Dad, please slow down." Wen Heng carefully supported the old man.
The old man didn't appreciate it and waved him away with a flick of his sleeve: "Go away! Stay away from me! I'll get angry when I see you!"
Wen Heng responded obediently, but did not dare to stay too far away from the old man.
The old man looked into the small courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences and said with some suspicion: "Are you sure this is it?"
"Definitely sure," Wen Heng responded repeatedly, "I asked my servants to check and it turns out that Brother Ye is married to Mr. Jiang from Yueya Village, the same family under the big locust tree at the east end of the village."
The old man was about to knock on the door.
Seeing this, Ye Anyian had no choice but to step forward: "Are you two here to see me?"
The old man heard the sound and looked over: "Are you... Ye Anyian?"
Ye Anyian nodded.
Jiang Zhu took the cow and stood behind him with a faint smile on his face.
The old man was silent and looked at the two of them up and down. After a moment, he said: "The trouble with the Rubik's Cube yesterday was because the dog at home was ignorant and caused trouble for you two."
Mr. Wen apologized first when he came up, which surprised Ye Anyian.
He didn't put on airs, and his apology was simple and sincere.
"Come in and sit down." Ye Anyian opened the wooden lock hanging on the fence door and invited the two of them into the yard.
There was a sudden visitor at home, and Jiang Zhu couldn't let Ye Annian deal with it alone, so he led the cow into the yard. After tying the cow, he added a few handfuls of grass before following the others into the east room.
The east room is very clean, the quilts are folded neatly on the kang, and the kang table is placed against the feet of the kang.
As soon as Mr. Wen and Wen Heng entered the room, Wen Heng raised his buttocks and tried to sit on the edge of the kang, but was kicked by Mr. Wen.
Ye Annian saw this and said calmly: "You two can sit wherever you like. If you're not used to it, I'll bring the chairs in."
Jiang Zhu stood behind him, leaning on the door frame, smiling gently: "The place at home is small, I feel sorry for you two."
"No grievance, no grievance," Mr. Wen waved his hands repeatedly, pulled Wen Heng to sit down on the edge of the kang, and then said, "It was the dog who caused the trouble. The compensation will be fully handled by the Wen Mansion."
"Reputation is the most important thing in this business. If my useless son caused such a mess, I'm afraid it will cause you a lot of trouble. If you need any help, just ask."
Seeing that his words were sincere, Ye Annian didn't seem to be perfunctorily dismissing him. Thinking about the cooperation he had mentioned with Wen Heng before, he said: "It's not entirely Mr. Wen's fault for this. It's originally a grudge between me and my brother."
"I don't need help. I have talked about cooperation with Mr. Wen Er before. What do you think?"
"Cooperation? What kind of business do you want to do?" Mr. Wen was a little surprised, and his useless little son never mentioned it to him.
"Just...I'll provide the money, he'll provide the skills, and we'll open a shop together." Wen Heng on the side spoke in a muffled voice.
Mr. Wen glared at him: "Why didn't you say anything yesterday?!"
Wen Heng secretly poked and rubbed his buttocks: "I didn't have a chance yesterday! You were busy beating me up!"
Mr. Wen:...
It seems so.
"Ahem," he coughed, "Nephew Ye Xian, have you thought clearly about the partnership? Quanzi really doesn't have any talent for business, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help you in running a shop. However, if you need money, I can. Ask him to support you."
Mr. Wen really didn't have much confidence in his silly son, and it wasn't like he didn't let Wen Heng do business. As a result, the eight jewelry shops that were originally well-run were ruined by this prodigal son and lost all their money. They even lost their shop space.
Then he was forcibly sent to the academy to be detained. It didn't matter whether he studied or not, so that he would not be idle all day long and get into trouble outside.
"Think about it." Ye Annian said bluntly, "Actually, it doesn't take much money, twenty or thirty taels is enough."
"Is this enough?" Mr. Wen was surprised.
"How much can it cost to rent a shop and buy one or two servants?"
"Hmm..." Mr. Wen nodded and thought for a moment, "With your craftsmanship, it won't take long to earn this kind of money. Why do you want to cooperate with my Wen family?"
Ye Anian thought to himself, this old man is really shrewd, and he can see through his mind at once.
However, since he planned to cooperate, Ye Anyian didn't want to hide it from him.
"Because of Ye Ansong."
"Oh?" Mr. Ye glanced at him.
"This name should be familiar to you." Ye Annian said calmly, "He is my elder brother. He is also studying at Hongfu Academy and is a classmate with Second Young Master Wen."
"Young Master Wen and I didn't know each other before. We have no grievances and he has no reason to harm me. The idea of imitating the Rubik's Cube was actually the idea of my elder brother. There is some personal grudge between me and him."
"Hiss," Mr. Wen said thoughtfully, "So you want to... seek shelter?"
"That's right." Ye Anyian smiled lightly and did not deny it.
"Okay." After asking the reason, Mr. Wen agreed readily.
He admired Ye Anyian's intelligence and was very optimistic about Ye Anyian's carpentry skills. He felt at ease cooperating with such a person.
Ye Anyian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But I heard Mr. Wen say again: "However, I still have one condition."
"You tell me."
"I can give you a hundred taels, and you can sell the shop or buy the wood. But when the shop opens, I will arrange a job for my useless son. Any amount of money will be fine."
"Ah?" When Wen Heng heard this, his face suddenly fell, "Dad, we paid for him to open the shop, and I, I still have to work for him? Dad, are you confused?"
"Shut up!" Mr. Wen glared at him, "You don't like going to the academy anyway, so just don't go!"
"When nephew Ye Xian's shop opens, I will arrange a job for you to cut wood and move wood. Let me see if you are still causing trouble everywhere!"
"Dad! Stop!" Wen Heng wailed.
However, Master Wen ignored him completely and took out a hundred taels of silver notes and presented them to Ye Anyian.
"This is impossible." Ye Anyian declined.
"Take it quickly." Mr. Wen urged, "Actually, even if there was no cooperation, I originally planned to give you some money as compensation. Now that we can achieve this cooperation, it is a good thing."
Ye Annian didn't expect that Mr. Wen would even plan to compensate him, and secretly sighed in his heart that the Wen family was so kind.
He didn't shirk, he took the banknote and said, "Thank you very much."
When the shop opens in the future, just give the Wen family more dividends.
After the cooperation was settled, Mr. Wen was about to leave with Wen Heng.
Ye Annian remembered the list of people who had bought imitation Rubik's cubes that he had written down yesterday, and took them and showed them to Mr. Wen.
"You can compensate them accordingly, so that some people who love petty gains will not fish in troubled waters."
"My nephew is interested." In fact, the Wen family was not short of the money, but Mr. Wen still accepted it. After all, it was Ye Anyian's kindness and he couldn't refuse it.
After sending the father and son to the gate, Ye Annian and Jiang Zhu stood side by side under the big locust tree at the gate, watching the gorgeous carriage go back the way it came.
While he was lost in thought, he saw a carriage pulled by a single horse coming from the entrance of the village.
This carriage was narrow, small, and old. It happened to pass by the Wen family's carriage. The two carriages drove in opposite directions, and the distance between them became wider and wider.
There were very few carriages coming to the village. Ye Annian was a little curious, so he and Jiang Zhuduo stood at the door for a while.
Unexpectedly, the small and old carriage stopped in front of the two of them.
As soon as the car curtain was lifted, Ye Ansong's face poked out from the car window.
Ye Annian was stunned and frowned.
Ye Ansong seemed unaware and sneered: "Brother Nian, are you desperate?"
Ye Annian didn't want to pay attention to him, pulled Jiang Zhu's sleeve and said softly: "Let's go in."
"Okay." Jiang Zhu took advantage of the situation and took Ye Annian's hand, and the two of them turned to go home.
"Haha," Ye Ansong's sinister voice suddenly came from behind, "You are really confused. The Wen family is the one who copied your Rubik's Cube and smashed your sign. How dare you cooperate with them? If everyone knows, do you think it's okay? Does anyone dare to buy your stuff?"
Ye Annian stopped and looked at him coldly: "You don't need to worry about it. The results of the college exam will be released soon. You should still worry about whether you can pass the exam."
"Hahaha!" Ye Ansong laughed unabashedly, "I'm sure to win the college exam. Then you have to come and drink my brother's wedding wine!"
"Yes, it's hard to get a scholar, you have to keep doing it." Ye Anyian raised the corner of his mouth, indicating something.
However, Ye Ansong was immersed in his own pride and didn't notice it at all.
Seeing Ye Annian's usual indifferent expression, Ye Ansong lowered the curtain and shouted to the driver, "Let's go!"
The narrow carriage went to the village with a "gurgling" sound.
Ye Annian looked away and pulled Jiang Zhu's hand.
Jiang Zhu stood still.
"What else are you looking at?" Ye Anyian wondered.
Jiang Zhu smiled and put an arm around his waist: "It's nothing."
The other hand hidden in the sleeve was secretly crushing a pebble.
Suddenly, he exerted force on his fingertips and flicked in the direction of Ye Ansong's carriage.
--Snapped!
The stone happened to be stuck in the axle, and the carriage that was moving smoothly suddenly swayed and stopped suddenly.
Ye Ansong, who was in the car, was feeling proud when he was shaken so violently that his center of gravity became unstable and his head hit the wooden window frame beside him. He grimaced in pain.
"Old man, what's wrong with your car?!" He was a little annoyed.
"Sir, please come down!"
The old man's helpless voice came from outside the carriage: "My car may be a little old, the axle is faulty again, and it can't go!"
"What?" Ye Ansong muttered unhappily, "What bad luck!"
He jumped out of the car angrily, but in his haste, he sprained his foot.
Ye Ansong almost cried out due to the heartbreaking pain, but since it was not far from their home, he was afraid of losing face, so he held it back.
After paying the fare with a dark face, Ye Ansong tossed his sleeves and limped away.
There was quite a movement, and Ye Anyian and Jiang Zhu were still standing at the door watching.
Seeing the hint of a smile on Ye Anian's lips, Jiang Zhu raised his eyebrows: "Did you see it? This is the reward for this world."
Ye Annian smiled: "He will have more retribution in the future."
