Chapter 184 A distinguished guest from afar
Zhong Yunfeng jumped off the carriage first, and then the curtain of the Zhong family's carriage was lifted, and Zhong Dingyi walked out of the carriage holding a beautiful middle-aged woman.
Zhong Yunfeng hurriedly brought the horse stool, and Zhong Dingyi and the middle-aged beautiful woman got out of the car. Ye Changyan guessed that the middle-aged beautiful woman should be Zhong Yunfeng's biological mother. According to the clan etiquette of ordinary large families, Zhong Dingyi was unlikely to take Zhong Yunfeng's aunt out.
Ye Changyan hurried over and briefly greeted Zhong Dingyi and Zhong Yunfeng, then listened to Zhong Dingyi introduce them to Ye Changyan.
"My dear nephew, this is the lowly Luo."
After Ye Changyan and Luo exchanged a few simple greetings, they saw a carriage next to them also lift up its curtain.
The person who walked out of the carriage was Huang Huamin. He smiled at Ye Changyan, said a simple hello, then turned back to the carriage. He lifted the curtain with one hand and reached into the carriage with the other. Then, Huang Huamin was seen holding the hand of a young woman, while the young woman was holding the hand of a little boy who was about four or five years old.
"Brother Ye, this is my humble wife Yu, and our son Huang Jie."
Ye Changyan greeted Yu briefly, and then heard Huang Jie calling to Ye Changyan in a very polite and childish voice.
"Big brother."
"This child should be called Uncle Ye."
"No way, this is obviously the big brother!"
Suddenly everyone at the scene burst into laughter. Huang Jie looked around, and Ye Changyan half-knelt down and spoke to Huang Jie.
"Xiao Jie is really good. He just called me brother. There is nothing wrong with that."
As he spoke, Ye Changyan took out two Weihaojia pills from his pocket and handed them to Huang Jie.
"We have this kind of candy at home, and it's delicious, but my mother only allows me to eat two a day."
Huang Jie looked up at Yu and saw Yu looking at the child with a doting smile on her face.
"Come on, come on, Brother Ye. Today I have brought two distinguished guests from afar."
As he spoke, Huang Huamin took Ye Changyan towards the last carriage, and Zhong Yunfeng and others followed.
The curtain of the car was lifted, and a man in his early thirties, dressed elegantly, walked out, followed by a beautiful woman who looked to be in her twenties. The woman had gorgeous makeup and an elegant temperament.
"Brother Ye, this is the owner of Shengjing Lihuaxiang Pastry Shop, Mr. Qiu Zhenkui."
Seeing the two people getting off the carriage, Huang Huamin stepped forward, pointed at the man and introduced him to Ye Changyan.
Ye Changyan saw that Qiu Zhenkui had a smile on his face but exuded a slightly majestic aura. Although Ye Changyan didn't know how the pastries in Lihua Lane in Shengjing City were, judging from the aura of this man, he must have an unusual background.
"Mr. Qiu, this is the Ye family brother Ye Changyan that I mentioned earlier."
After listening to Huang Huamin's introduction, Ye Changyan and Qiu Zhenkui both exchanged simple greetings. Huang Huamin then raised his finger and pointed at the beautiful woman next to him.
"Brother Ye, this is the head shopkeeper of Shengjing Fu Yu Zhen Yan Zhi Lou, Miss Su Yu Niang."
Seeing Su Yuchun smiling charmingly at him, Ye Changyan thought that such a beautiful woman with seductive looks and feminine charm must have quite some skills to be the head manager of a Yanzhilou in Shengjing.
Ye Changyan hurriedly and politely bowed to Su Yu Niang, who also politely returned the greeting.
Ye Changyan immediately invited everyone to go to the Ye family courtyard, and then he saw the coachmen on each carriage, holding beautifully wrapped gift boxes, following the group.
When everyone in the old house saw Ye Changyan leading a group of people in luxurious clothes and with extraordinary temperament into the yard, they were all shocked and their movements became awkward.
Ye Changyan cast a look at Fang Xiaotong, and saw Fang Xiaotong take a few steps forward and take the gift boxes from the hands of several coachmen.
When everyone in the old house saw Fang Xiaotong carrying a beautiful gift box into the house, they all showed envy on their faces.
Among this group of people, everyone in the old house only recognized Zhong Yunfeng. Ye Xiaowen and Ye Xiaowu were both wondering, in just half a year, the people that Sanlang came into contact with all seemed to have extraordinary identities and status.
When Ye Xiaowen, Ye Xiaowen, Dalang and Erlang saw the beautiful face of Su Yu Niang in the crowd, they couldn't help but stare at her intently.
After Ye Changyan and his group briefly greeted Ye Xiaozheng, Mr. Cai, the old lady, Ye Changyan's grandfather and others, they were arranged in the small flower hall near the study.
Soon Fang Xiaotong brought in a screen to divide the small flower hall into two parts, and Fang Xiaomei also brought tea and candy.
Ye Changyan asked Fang Xiaomei to call Erniu and let Erniu chat with the female relatives, while he exchanged simple greetings with everyone else.
Su Yu Niang is indeed a woman working hard in the business world. She did not choose to go to the women's side behind the screen, but stayed with the men and chatted with everyone.
As everyone was chatting, Zhong Yunfeng brought the conversation to the topic of food.
"Brother Huang, Boss Qiu, Boss Su, you may not know that my brother is very knowledgeable about food."
"We have seen the delicious dishes of Yunfeng Tower in Yuzhou City, and Boss Zhong actually said that Master Ye is very knowledgeable about food. This makes me full of expectations. I wonder if Master Ye can open our eyes today?"
When Qiu Zhenkui heard Zhong Yunfeng say this, he looked at Ye Changyan with curiosity.
"Boss Qiu, although I have some ideas about food, I am indeed too kind to you. Since everyone is interested, I will show off today and personally prepare a vegetarian meal for everyone. I hope you don't mind."
When everyone heard this, they nodded expectantly.
"Yunfeng, please help me greet everyone. I'll be back soon."
After Ye Changyan came out of the small flower hall, he went to find Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng. Ye Changyan told Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng about the situation of Qiu Zhenkui and Su Yuniang, and then asked Mr. Cai.
"Teacher, do you know where these two people came from?"
"This Lihua Lane is a well-known pastry shop in Shengjing City. It is very popular among the upper class of Shengjing. As far as I know, the owner of this Lihua Lane should be the Qiu family, a prominent family in Shengjing."
Ye Changyan nodded and listened to what Mr. Cai continued to say.
"This Fu Yu Zhen Rouge House is even more famous in Shengjing. Some of the rouge and powder used by the ladies in the palace were purchased from Fu Yu Zhen. It is very popular among the noble ladies in Shengjing. I remember that Fu Yu Zhen has a pearl jade face cream that is very famous. Your master's wife used it in the past."
"I heard Huang Huamin mention this pearl jade facial cream. It costs ten taels of silver per small box. The ladies in Yuzhou Prefecture need to make an appointment a month in advance to get it."
Cai Lao and Liang Jingcheng looked at him in surprise. Ye Changyan thought they were shocked to hear ten taels of silver for a small box, but Liang Jingcheng's next words shocked Ye Changyan instead.
"Then this Yuzhou Prefecture's Pearl Jade Face Cream is really too cheap. I went to the Fu Yu Zhen Rouge House with my master's wife. It was a white porcelain box the size of a palm. I clearly remember that it was sold for twenty-six taels of silver."
