Chapter 516 Jie Jin is not familiar with world affairs

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the three of them felt a little surprised.

After all, even if someone goes to give a gift, they can just refuse it, so why hide in the Yamen and be so exaggerated?

How could they have imagined that Ye Xuan's mansion was already overcrowded at this moment. If Ye Xuan hadn't set up a secret tunnel in advance, they would still be trapped in the Shen family today.

But it's no wonder that they have Ye Xuan's situation and status, after all, this is the only one in ancient times.

Among the three, only Xie Jin was excited at this moment. In a daze, he felt that he had seen a role model who had achieved success and fame.

He has been practicing the Saint's way since he was a child, which emphasizes that a wealthy person must not be immoral, a powerful person must not be submissive, and an official must be honest and so on.

Now, in his eyes, Ye Xuan's performance was like this. How could he not admire him?

Zhao Kaifeng and Lu You looked at each other. Although they felt that it was inappropriate to do so, they also understood Ye Xuan's temper and knew that arguing with him would never bring any good results, so they simply agreed.

It's just that Jie Jin is no better than the two of them. He doesn't know what Ye Xuan is thinking. Seeing the two of them acting like this, he can't help but feel a little unhappy.

He cupped his hands at Ye Xuan and said, "Since you want to stay, my lord, I don't have anywhere else to go, so why don't I stay with you to be your companion?"

Ye Xuan frowned slightly when he heard this. He also knew that Xie Jin's move should be out of good intentions, but he did not need this good intention.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty actually had very strict rules. Officials were not allowed to bring their families to live in the government office.

Although in the later dynasties, the rules were loosened, many officials were sent out to live in the back hall of the yamen directly, and some yamen even directly divided the front and rear areas.

Open two gates.

But now it is still the Hongwu period, and Zhu Yuanzhang can separate public and private matters.

A local official like himself still lives in a government office. If word spreads, he will be questioned by people from the Ministry of Police and the Yushitai.

If Zhao Kaifeng and others are not here and he brings them back, it will only be his own business, and Zhu Yuanzhang will not be able to punish him at that time.

To put it bluntly, even if he is punished, he doesn't care much, so he can do whatever he wants.

But if there are others around, the situation will be completely different.

Your own fault will be shared with them, and they may also be charged with dereliction of duty or the like.

We are all born in a poor family for ten years, and we have managed to survive. Who wants to buy the identity that we finally obtained because of others?

It's just that Ye Xuan couldn't say these words clearly, otherwise it would seem to be implying something.

"No need, let's leave this matter as it is. We'll have something to eat later, so you can just go back!"

Zhao Kaifeng was thoughtful and had already understood it. Now when he heard this again, he naturally did not dare to neglect and agreed quickly.

He stood up directly, bowed to Ye Xuan, and then spoke softly.

"Sir, since this is the case, I will go back now. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, but I have never gone back to see my family!"

Although his words were somewhat deliberate, the content was not false.

After yesterday's celebration, Zhao Kaifeng returned to the Yamen and began to handle some accounts and backlogged case files here.

So to be precise, he hasn't been back home since New Year's Eve.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan quickly waved his hand, intending to let Zhao Kaifeng leave.

But just as the words came to his lips, he remembered something again and quickly took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to Zhao Kaifeng.

"Old Zhao, we have known each other for so long, so I won't be polite to you anymore. I originally planned to wait for a while and go to your home to sit down, but looking at the current situation, I'm afraid there won't be any chance for a while."

With that said, Ye Xuan took out another ingot of silver and put it into Luke's hand.

"You guys should treat this money as some lucky money for your children at home, and you can't refuse it.

When Xie Jin heard this, his mouth opened wide, his expression full of disbelief.

He had been an official for some time, and he was used to seeing his superiors exploiting and demanding bribes, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Ye Xuan actually return money to his subordinates.

But thinking about it, after all, Ye Xuan's family took advantage of others, so Xie Jinbian was relieved.

He had often heard people say that the money in Shen Wansan's hands was almost half of the Ming Dynasty's treasury, or even more.

Zhao Kaifeng and Lu You were obviously used to Ye Xuan's style, so they just said thank you and collected the money.

After the two left, Ye Xuan looked at Xie Jin and asked with some doubts.

"If you don't go back yet, is there something wrong?"

Xie Jin smiled bitterly and said: "Teacher, you have forgotten that the student's home is not in Yingtian. Even if he goes back, there will be no fun. It is better to stay here with you."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan felt helpless.

He is not sentimental or has the temperament to pity anyone casually.

But at this moment, Xie Jin's words made it difficult for him to expel the person directly, so he felt helpless.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Xuan said to Xie Jin: "Let's go to Shen's house for me and ask the people in the house to send some more food, wine and other things. What do you think?"

In fact, Ye Xuan didn't need to say the last four words, but he could see that Xie Jin's temperament was easy to think wrong. If he thought that he had accepted him and caused trouble in the future, then he would lose more than he gained.

Jie Jin, obviously feeling Ye Xuan's alienation, squeezed out a smile with a strange expression on his face, then agreed, turned around and left.

Xie Jin just left. Ye Xuan began to think about how to arrange Xie Jin later.

The reason why he asked Xie Jin to ask for wine just now was because it was a code word.

As long as Xie Jin goes to the Shen family, what the Shen family will give him is Gaokang liquor.

This is not very popular in this era, but it is still memorable.

Looking at Xie Jin's frail body, Ye Xuan was confident that three cups would be able to topple him.

It's just that this man became more troublesome when he was drunk, so Ye Xuan was also thinking about where to put him for the safest reason.

While Ye Xuan was thinking, in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was already smiling from ear to ear.

"This Ye Xuan, it's really interesting. He just closed the door and thanked guests, but he actually sneaked out without bringing the whole family with him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke softly, as if he had seen Ye Xuan's embarrassment.

Zhu Biao also echoed: "Yes, Ye Xuan is indeed an interesting person, but this time, he probably won't pay attention. Come to think of it, this year, he will never forget it in his life."

Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have thought of something.

He looked at Queen Ma and Zhu Xiongying on the side, then thought for a moment before speaking.

"Otherwise, go and pass on our instructions and let the Ye Xuan family come to the palace and win the championship with us!"
