Chapter 327: Small Town Overnight
In order to stop the fighting, the royal family and powerful officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty came up with a way. They found a middleman to discuss with the Wang family about recruiting and giving marriages.
After discussing with his advisers, the Lord of the Wang family agreed to accept the imperial court's offer of security and marriage.
Of course, they didn't really intend to renew their allegiance to the Great Zhou Dynasty. The reason why they agreed to re-establish contact with the Great Zhou Dynasty in this way was because they had had enough of being enemies.
However, to everyone's surprise, in this glaring marriage of interests, the two parties did not have the same bed-and-dream, mutual defense and estrangement that is usually seen between couples who are married because of interests. A married couple who are in love with each other.
The lord of the Wang family pampered his new step-wife so much that even the children of his original spouse couldn't help feeling a great sense of crisis.
His subordinates have warned him many times, but the Lord of the Wang family who "found true love" believes that he has not done anything that will shake the foundation of the Wang family.
In his opinion, let alone his little wife who has no children, even if he has children, how can those children be compared with his almost twenty-year-old brothers?
Not to mention whether the child who has no shadow is male or female, even if the other party has been born and is confirmed to be a boy, then this child must be at least fifteen years old before he has the ability to compete with his brothers. ?
For fifteen years, he, the father, didn't even know he was still alive. At that time, let alone competing with his brothers, it would be good if he could live without relying on others.
As for his being kind to his little wife, isn't it natural for a man to spoil his wife?
The head of the Wang family who replied to his staff in this way obviously has forgotten that when his first wife was alive, he actually did not love her very much, and even respect was only superficial.
As far as the so-called "brothers" who are almost twenty years old he used as an example, two of them came from the concubines he loved very much before.
Three adult sons, three different biological mothers, and the sons behind them who are in their early teens and who will definitely be contenders in the future, almost all have different mothers.
In such a mess, there are already a lot of hidden dangers, but because of his marriage, the little wife has doubled the pressure on all the original sons and concubines, and made all the concubines who are still alive gnash their teeth. Staff members of the Wang family I don't even know how to describe my lord's act of death that shook the foundation of the Wang family with his own hands.
These, Ye Anlan and Li Jing only learned a little bit from the few words of passers-by, but this did not prevent them from trying to take advantage of these hidden dangers of the Wang family.
After a day's driving, the two led a team to live in the bustling town at the junction of the Wang family and the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This small town is called Ronghe Town, and it still belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty in name, but the garrison of the Great Zhou Dynasty is about a hundred miles away from here. Thirty miles.
The Great Zhou Dynasty no longer sent troops to crusade against the Wang family, and the Wang family no longer retaliated. There were a lot of merchants traveling from south to north in the small town.
When Ye Anlan and the others arrived, all the inns in the town were full of people. They had no choice but to go to the dental shop to rent an empty house.
They didn't come too late, and there is still a house to choose from.
It’s actually a team of several of their teams, and all the houses they picked are located in the same block.
This block used to be populated by wealthy gentry from the town. Because of the frequent wars, they were forced to entrust their houses to the dental bank, and they went to live with their relatives in other towns far away from the war zone.
It has been less than three months since the marriage between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Wang family, and many rich and gentlemen who have traveled far have not heard of it. Therefore, Yaxing still has many houses entrusted by other families for sale and rent.
These houses are very popular during this period, especially those for rent, basically more than 90% of them can be rented out every day.
Ye Anlan and the others came by coincidence. After they picked the best houses to live in, customers who went to the dental shop could only choose cramped and old ordinary houses.
This kind of house, if it is not a high-ranking official and a wealthy businessman, you will not dislike it. After all, it is only a short stay for one night.
However, today the tooth shop encountered a group of "noble guests" who disliked the dirty and old houses.
The distinguished guests came from Kyoto, and it is said that they left Beijing to visit relatives. When they rushed to the town from the city where they stayed overnight, there were only a dozen or so ordinary houses left in the town.
The brothers and sisters in the lead didn't go to see the house, but just listened to the steward who accompanied him tell the situation of the dozen or so houses that the Yaren said. A good inn is for their use.
Coincidentally, the first person they chose to spend money on was Ye Anlan and the others who lived in the first house at the entrance of the alley.
Ye Anlan and the others were cleaning and preparing dinner when someone knocked on the front door of their rented house.
Ye's personal guards who went to open the door saw a group of middle-aged youths wearing the costumes of servants, and they were slightly taken aback before asking: "Where is this, everyone?"
The middle-aged man in the lead was also stunned. He has been walking outside all year round, and he still has a good way of seeing people. Although Ye's personal guard who opened the door was wearing the clothes of a bodyguard, the steward could tell that he could It's not the kind of ordinary **** who only relies on brute force and a few tricks of three-legged cat kung fu to lick blood.
Can afford to hire bodyguards of this level, are the people living in this house really something they can provoke?
It is true that the Han family in Kezhou is a modest gentry, but in this troubled world, the name of the gentry may not be able to make them all-encompassing.
He was hesitating, when he heard a female voice from the yard, "Who is it?"
The guard who opened the door immediately turned around and saluted, "Girl, it's someone I don't know, I guess I found the wrong door."
The middle-aged steward raised his head cautiously, and then saw a young girl in a short-sleeved bunt walking out with a piece of jerky in her mouth.
Middle-aged steward:? ? ? Could it be that he guessed wrong, this is not a person from a well-established family?
Ye Anlan looked at him curiously, "Who are you? Did you really knock on the wrong door?"
The middle-aged steward saw that she behaved without rules at all, and couldn't help but conclude that the person who rented this house must not be from a famous family.
After all, based on his half-life experience, the young ladies of aristocratic families have all received strict education since childhood. Even if they are a bit willful and pampered, their manners and etiquette on the surface will definitely make people look over their eyes.
Unlike Ye Anlan, who is informal and does not shy away from the difference between men and women at all, he just walked out with a piece of jerky in his mouth without saying anything, and even stood at the door talking to him, a foreigner, in such a big way.
