Chapter 15
Mr. Du was carrying a lot of boxes, so he walked very slowly.Ye Qinghuai caught up with him not too far away.

"Young Master Du, stay a step." Ye Qing saluted with fists in his arms, and said, "You left something behind, and I will bring it here for Miss Qin."

Hearing what Ye Qinghuai said, Mr. Du stopped in his tracks, looked her up and down, and said, "Who are you?"

His tone was not kind, and the question was straightforward, Ye Qinghuai replied with a smile on his face: "My lord, He Youwei, is a student studying in Wenxin Hall, and I only met Miss Qin once."

"Going to study in the school so early in the morning during the holidays, Mr. He has great ambitions." Mr. Du said with a strange air.

Ye Qinghuai pretended not to hear the sarcasm in his tone, and said modestly: "After the New Year's Day, it will be Chunwei. Xiaosheng is not as talented as Mr. Du, so he can only make up for his weakness with diligence."

Mr. Du snorted nonchalantly, and asked, "Miss Qin, what do you want to give me?"

Ye Qinghuai took out the greeting card from her bosom and handed it to him.

Mr. Du frowned, as if a little unhappy, he didn't accept the invitation, but said to Ye Qinghuai: "I don't need this thing anymore, you can throw it away."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Ye Qinghuai hurriedly took half a step to block his way, saluted, and said politely: "Xiaosheng sees that the young master is infatuated with Miss Qin but cannot be favored by a beautiful woman, so I can't help but feel sorry for the young master. The young master is very talented. , if you can prescribe the right medicine and do what you like, are you still worried that the girl will not fall into your arms?"

Hearing the words "throw yourself in your arms", that young master Du's eyes really lit up.

He stopped in his tracks, approached Ye Qinghuai, and asked, "You mean, she didn't accept the things I gave her because she didn't like them?"

"Miss Qin has been immersed in the academy for many years, and she is always a well-known visitor. She can hear the sound of sages and sages in her ears. Naturally, she likes poetry, books, literature and ink." She looked at the treasure chests that people were holding, and said, "Mr. Du, these jewels Naturally, it is priceless, if it is given to the daughter of a merchant, the other party will surely smile. But if it is given to Ms. Qin, I am afraid that Ms. Qin will not be able to understand the young master's intentions."

Hearing what Ye Qinghuai said, Mr. Du thought of Qin Baozhu's attitude towards him before, and felt that it was reasonable, nodded repeatedly, and sighed: "Oh, to tell you the truth, I spent more than a month looking for these jewels. What about the time, but she didn't even look at it. He Sheng, according to you, what should I give her?"

"It's a long story." Ye Qinghuai looked around and saw a teahouse at the corner of the street, and said, "If Mr. Du can do you a favor, can you tell me about the teahouse?"

Mr. Du was aroused by Ye Qinghuai's few words, and after ordering the servant to go home, he went to the teahouse with Ye Qinghuai.

Ye Qinghuai never thought that the methods and thoughts she had been exposed to in the harem to fight for favor would one day come in handy here.

"According to what Xiaosheng sees, Mr. Du might as well find a few books of folk stories or biographies of unofficial history, and show it to Miss Qin first, to see if she likes talented scholars and beautiful women, or legends in the market. Mr. Du has found out about Miss Qin. Only then can you match what you like, and get twice the result with half the effort.”

"He Sheng is right. I'll go to Hongyexuan tomorrow and buy a copy of each script book there, and send it to Miss Qin in a box."

"Hey, Mr. Du's words are wrong." Ye Qinghuai stopped him in a mystical manner, "A sage's study should be done step by step. This is not the way of study for one family. It applies to everyone in the world, and it is the same between men and women."

"how do I say this?"

"Since ancient times, women have regarded modesty and gentleness as a virtue. Just imagine, if Mr. Du went to Wenxin Hall with such a grand scale, even if Miss Qin wanted to get close, she might not be able to accept the gift from him in front of the neighbors. What's more, Mr. I sent all the scriptures at once, so next time I want to empty-handed?"

"What you said is very reasonable." Mr. Du nodded repeatedly, "He Sheng, you are really a wonderful person. To be honest, I used to pay for concubines with one hand and deliver with the other. I have never met Qin Qin. The girl is such a hard nail. If you didn't tell me, I really don't know that there are so many ways between men and women. "

In a few words, Mr. Du was deeply impressed by Ye Qinghuai's words and deeds.The two of them sat in the private seat by the window of the teahouse and talked for more than an hour. They talked about the relationship between men and women, interesting things in Beijing, and family aristocratic family together.Mr. Du not only told Ye Qinghuai his name and age, but even told Ye Qinghuai how many concubines and how many branch families there were.

"Mr. Du's family used to be in the silk business. No wonder the money is so generous." Ye Qinghuai complimented him.

"Shops like mine are not worth mentioning in Shengjing City, they are everywhere." Du Wenle waved his hand disapprovingly.

"Young Master Du is modest."

"Oh, let's not talk about my family. What does He Sheng's family do? Judging by your clothes and conversation, you are from a scholarly family, right?"

As an emperor, it was the first time Ye Qinghuai was asked what his family did.

She paused, and said: "To be honest, Xiaosheng came from Jingzuo. This time, he came to join his family and prepare to participate in Chunwei."

"My family, the He family..." Du Wenle frowned and thought about it, then murmured, "I don't seem to have heard of any big family named He in Shengjing City."

"My family is not prosperous, so it's only natural that Mr. Du has never heard of it. Only the head of the family has a third-rank captain of the imperial army in the army, so he is not considered a great master."

Du Wenle suddenly realized, and suddenly realized: "So you are a child of the He family in the uncle's mansion. I thought your family was a family of civil servants, so I didn't think about it."

Ye Qinghuai nodded modestly, acquiescing to his deduction.

"Then why are you taking the Chunwei exam?" Knowing "He Youwei"'s life experience, Du Wenle was puzzled, "Let Captain He be in the Ministry of Rites to help you get a tribute quota. Isn't it enough for us? Merchants have no choice but to take the imperial examination. Why do you still have to take it?"

"Isn't the number of tributes given to the Ministry of Rites by the Xiang Xuebao of various places every year? Is the captain of the Imperial Army also eligible to submit it?" Ye Qinghuai was a little confused.

"That's what you said, how can you be so serious about death. Didn't the Jinshi who commanded his second son in the Imperial Army get a tribute from the Ministry of Rites?"

"How did you know?"

Du Wenle smiled: "His second son is one of the Four Young Masters in the capital, who doesn't know about him."

Ye Qinghuai frowned, and her face became a little colder.

Du Wenle saw that her face was not good, and said: "He Duwei is your uncle, he didn't tell you this, he probably has a birth relationship with you. I heard that in many big families, the relationship between the main family and the branch family is not good. The family has moved out of the capital again, you will probably get some supercilious looks this time."

Ye Qinghuai was silent and did not speak.

Du Wen was happy to see that she didn't speak, and only said that she felt uncomfortable.While peeling the peanuts, he comforted her and said, "Don't feel bad, since your uncle won't help you, brother, I can show you the way."

Ye Qinghuai raised her head and looked at him.

Seeing her looking at him expectantly, Du Wenle seemed to hesitate for a moment, then approached her and whispered: "But it depends on how much money you have."

Ye Qinghuai's heart moved, this was the purpose of her trip.

With no expression on her face, she took out two ingots of silver from her waist, put them on the table, and pushed them over.

When she left the palace this time, she didn't bring anything else, only silver.Bring a lot.

Du Wenle couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw the silver in her hand.But he pressed Ye Qinghuai's hand with his big fleshy hand, pushed back her money, and said: "I hit it off with you, I don't want your money, you just need to be able to stand in front of Miss Qin for me." A few good words will pay me back the favor. You keep the money well, when it will be useful."

Ye Qinghuai withdrew her hand and asked, "When was that? Brother Du, please let me know."

He looked around and saw no one, so he asked seriously: "Do you know Shengjing Ghost Market?"
