Chapter 3 Chapter 2 Something Strange Happened to the Eldest Young Master

I sneered and said, "Mapi Agen, are you trying to lie to me? Come on, take me to see your old lady!" As I said that, I pushed him and walked out. He looked at me pitifully and didn't dare to struggle. We took two steps when the phone in the room suddenly rang. The Ye family is wealthy, and there are telephones in almost every corner of the house.They have their own switchboard at home, and they also have intercoms directly connected to Shanghai and villas in various places.As soon as the phone rang, another male worker hurried over and said, "Yes, yes, the young master of the Wei family has just arrived."

He immediately said to me: "Young Master of the Wei family, our Eldest Young Master, he asked you to answer the phone." What the male worker said made me stunned. Because judging from various signs, it seems that something happened to Ye Jiaqi! However, things were obviously out of my expectation, because just as I was pressing Mapi Agen to ask Ye Jiaqi what accident happened, Ye Jiaqi actually called me! I was stunned for a while, let go of Mapi Agen, walked forward, and grabbed the phone. As soon as I brought the phone to my ear, I heard Ye Jiaqi's voice very clearly: "Are you here? Are you already at my house? That's great! That's great!"

I was angry and funny at the same time: "Nonsense, I'm not at your house, how can I hear your phone call? Where are you? Not at home? What's going on at your house? You have prepared a guest room for me! " Ye Jiaqi said: "I don't know what they are making a fuss about──" When he said this, he suddenly paused, and I quickly asked, "Jiaqi, where are you?" Ye Jiaqi then said: "I'm in Mudu──" He only spoke four words, then paused again. I hurriedly said: "You are about to be a groom, what are you doing hiding in Mudu when you are not at home? Does the northwest wind by the Taihu Lake taste good? Are you going to come back, or what?"

I know that Ye's family is in Mudu, near Taihu Lake, and there is a very exquisite villa. Since Ye Jiaqi said he is in Mudu, it is naturally in this villa. However, that villa has always been just a place to escape the summer, and it is unbelievable that he is hiding in that villa now that it is so cold.He smiled: "You are still so impatient, I will come to see you tonight." He hung up the phone without waiting for my answer. When I turned around, I saw Mapi Agen and another male worker looking at me with relief. I have spoken with Ye Jiaqi on the phone, which of course proves that the assumption that something unexpected happened to Ye Jiaqi cannot be established.

However, the doubts in my heart did not go away.Because of my visit this time, the actions and words of the members of the Ye family are all suspicious! I waved to them: "You guys go!" The two male workers hurriedly put down their suitcases and left in a hurry. I lay down on the bed, closed my eyes, and carefully thought about everything I saw and heard after I got off the train. First of all, I was sure that the Ye family did not welcome me, but why did their words flash like that? Could it be that the upcoming wedding makes people feel unsatisfied? However, this is also impossible. The woman's family is also a wealthy and powerful tycoon in Suzhou City.If it is said that Ye Jiaqi himself disagrees with this matter, that is even more impossible.

Because I know Ye Jiaqi's character best, no one can force Ye Jiaqi to do something he doesn't want to do. Ye Jiaqi's temper can be stubborn, his hard temper, in the Suzhou dialect, is to "smooth the hair", if you ask softly, he will do anything, if you insist, he will do nothing. I thought about it, but couldn't think of any reason, so I walked out, and then I walked out of the house, and suddenly saw a person in the corner, waving to me. I took a closer look, and saw that it was a clever little maid about fifteen or sixteen years old.I don't know this little girl, but since she waved to me, of course I walked over.

When I came in front of the little girl, the little girl looked back and forth, showing a very flustered expression, and I asked: "Did you call me? What's the matter? You agreed." The little girl was obviously very frightened, so her face was terribly pale, and she said, "You are... Young Master Wei? Miss asked me to tell you that she is waiting for you in the West Garden, and told you not to tell the family. people!" As soon as she finished speaking, she hurried away, leaving me standing there alone. The "Miss" that little maid said was naturally Ye Jiamin.

And the "West Garden" she mentioned, I also know that it is the largest of many famous gardens in Suzhou. It has a large Arhat Hall, pavilions, and pavilions, and it is a scenic spot. Ye Jiamin asked me to meet her in the West Garden, and asked me not to tell her family members. Of course, I have something secret to tell me. Am I going?Still not going? To be honest, I have absolutely no interest in knowing other people's secrets if they want to keep them from me. But I immediately remembered Ye Jiamin's red and swollen eyes. If she needs my help with anything, I won't Going, isn't it too unreasonable?

It suddenly occurred to me that the matter might not have anything to do with Ye Jiaqi, it was completely about Xiao Min! I immediately walked to the door in a hurry, and before I passed through the hall, I met Fourth Auntie, who hurriedly asked, "Master Wei, where are you going?" I pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Anyway, Jiaqi won't see me until evening, I want to go out for a walk." The fourth aunt said: "Then, I will ask Lao Zhang to prepare the car!" I quickly waved my hand and said, "You're welcome, I like to go for a walk by myself."

"Well, how about getting a car for you?" "Fourth aunt, I'm quite old, and Suzhou is not a big place, I won't get lost, you can do your work, I'll go for a walk, and I'll come back to say hello to the old lady!" The fourth aunt laughed, but she smiled very reluctantly: "That's unnecessary, the old lady has been too busy these days, and she is not feeling well. The doctor told her to rest and not see guests." I agreed casually with an "oh", and walked forward. Of course, I don't believe the nonsense that the fourth aunt said about "being sick" and "not being able to see guests". The old lady just doesn't want to see me for some reason that I don't know yet!

I left Ye's house and walked forward for several streets. When I got off the bus outside Changmen, it was already dusk. In the twilight, the high thick yellow wall of the West Garden still has a very solemn feeling. Because of the cold weather and the darkness, there were no people at all. I turned around, but couldn't see Ye Jiamin, so I hurriedly turned to the gate of the garden again. There was still no one there, so I raised my voice and shouted, "Xiao Min! Xiao Min!" I yelled a few times, and several people stared at me. Those people seemed to be the managers of the West Garden. When I wanted to yell again, I saw a person rushing towards me. I thought it was Xiao Min, but when the man ran up to me, I realized that he was Lao Zhang. This can be said to be the most embarrassing thing in the world. Because when I came out, I told them that I just came out for a walk, but in fact, I came here to see Xiao Min. At this moment, Lao Zhang bumped into him again. When he stood still in front of me, I Involuntarily, his face turned red. I still wanted to cover it up, so I pretended to be surprised and said: "Hey, why are you here, Lao Zhang?" But Lao Zhang said: "Master Wei, Miss has already gone back, are you going back too?" At that time, I really wished that there was a hole in the ground that I could drill into.In my heart, I suddenly hated Ye Jiamin, is this ghost girl secretly playing tricks on me? However, Ye Jiamin's red and swollen eyes showed that she was very sad, so how could she play tricks on me?I asked helplessly, "Why did Miss go back?" Old Zhang said: "Fourth aunt knew she was coming, so she sent a car to pick her up. Master Wei, it's getting dark, and we're afraid of bumping into something on the road. We'd better go back quickly." I was a little old and angry, and said: "What will you encounter?" Lao Zhang hurriedly said: "Don't be surprised, you are a member of the new school, of course you don't believe it, but I believe it. In fact, alas, you can't help but believe it, young master──" He had just reached this point when he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he immediately stopped talking and didn't go any further. I immediately grabbed his arm, pulled him a few steps, and sat down on a stone bench. I said, "Okay, Lao Zhang, let me explain to you now, what's wrong with the young master?" Lao Zhang's expression, in the gradually thickening twilight, can be said to be panicked to the extreme. I have never seen a person's face showing such panic and horror. Later, after many, many years, I often think of the situation at that time, and I think, if I was not so young at that time, and if I was not so stubborn to know what happened, then I would definitely feel sorry for the old man. Zhang, let him go. But at that time, I never intended to do that, I was still holding his arm, I moved my face close to his, raised my voice, and asked almost cruelly: "Say, what's going on? " Old Zhang's body began to tremble, and he said, "Young master... very good... nothing." "So, what about Missy?" "Miss?" He asked back: "Miss is nothing!" The tone in which Lao Zhang answered my two questions in succession made me understand that the problem still lies with Ye Jiaqi.Because when I asked about his young master, he hurriedly denied it, but when he mentioned Ye Jiamin, he was a little stunned, because Ye Jiamin was fine! I sneered: "Old Zhang, how dare you lie to me?" Lao Zhang hurriedly shook his hands: "Don't dare, dare not, Young Master Wei, when did Lao Zhang lie to you, you have always been nice to his servants, don't lose your temper." I sneered and said: "Okay, then you tell me, if you don't tell me, then I will tell the old lady, Lao Zhang is not a thing, I can't live anymore, go back to my own home in Shanghai!" What I sent was a threat that Lao Zhang might lose his job! At that time, I really didn't know that this was a very cruel threat, because I was too young, I didn't know what unemployment was, and I didn't know that at Lao Zhang's age, if he left the Ye family, his life would be a big problem . Therefore, Lao Zhang's body shook even more violently. I waited, I thought, Lao Zhang must give in. However, beyond my expectation, Lao Zhang actually spoke very resolute words in a very pitiful voice. He said: "Master Wei, it's nothing, it's really nothing." I yelled, "You're lying!" After all, Lao Zhang is an honest person, he was stunned for a while, and then said: "Yes, I am lying, but no matter what you ask me, I will never tell, I will never tell." I was very angry, I really wanted to hit him, but I raised my hand, but I didn't hit him, I said: "Okay, I'll go and tell the old lady immediately, Lao Zhang, you are fine, you have the guts..." Lao Zhang stood up, looking at him, he looked like he was about to cry, with a look of helplessness, he said: "Master Wei, don't go see the old lady, these days, the old lady is already sad enough, you If she refuses to live, she must be even more sad!" As soon as I heard what Lao Zhang said, I couldn't help but feel a sudden movement in my heart.At the same time, my anger gradually calmed down. It turned out that at that moment, I suddenly remembered that Lao Zhang is a rough man. The more I tried to force him to say something, the more he refused to say it. If I used some tricks, maybe he would say something The truth came out of my mouth. So, pretending not to pay attention, I asked casually, "Why is the old lady sad?" Old Zhang said: "Young Master──" He only said three words, and then suddenly stopped. However, just these three words are already important enough to me! Because of these three words, I really know that the matter happened to the young master Ye Jiaqi! Lao Zhang suddenly stopped talking, his expression became more flustered, but I didn't care anymore, I said: "Okay, Lao Zhang, there is no need to say, what's the matter with Jiaqi, in fact, I already know." Lao Zhang looked at me incredulously, and said, "You... already knew?" I said: "Of course, let's go back. I was just testing you just now. Unexpectedly, Fourth Aunt told you not to say anything. It's rare that you really didn't say a word." Old Zhang hurriedly said: "It wasn't the fourth aunt who ordered it, but the old lady herself. Master Wei, you...understand? Who told you this?" I sneered and said, "Of course someone is willing to tell me, do you all look like you? But of course I can't tell who he is. Once the old lady finds out, he will be fired, right?" Old Zhang said: "Yes, yes!" He seemed to no longer doubt that I already knew this matter, he looked at me: "Master Wei, you already know, are you... not afraid?" I was stunned for a while, because I said I knew it, but in fact, I didn't know anything about it.Moreover, I just feel suspicious and curious, but I have never connected things with the word "fear". So I immediately asked: "Afraid? What's so scary?" Old Zhang sighed: "Young Master Wei, you have never seen him with your own eyes, so of course you are not afraid, but I... I... Sigh... But I am really afraid of death. None of us is not afraid!" I listened carefully to what Lao Zhang said, and while I was listening, I was imagining what kind of terrible thing it was.But from what he said, I only knew one thing, that is: this incident has scared many people, and he is not the only one who is scared! So I immediately said: "You are all cowards!" Old Zhang sighed: "Master Wei, our Eldest Young Master is just like you, he is the best person, you say, he suddenly—" When Lao Zhang spoke up to this point, just as I was listening intently, Lao Zhang's words were interrupted by someone, and a man came over and said, "It's getting dark, both of you, please go home!" That person was probably the manager of the West Garden. I pulled Lao Zhang out and walked out. Lao Zhang’s carriage was parked outside the garden. I secretly hated that guy. If he hadn’t interrupted the conversation, I’m afraid Already told the whole thing! At this time, for the convenience of talking to Lao Zhang, I sat in the car seat with him, and Lao Zhang drove the carriage back to the city, and I said again: "Yes, your young master is the best!" Only then did Lao Zhang pick it up: "It's a pity that such a good person is fascinated by the fox fairy. Alas, who wouldn't be sad!" I was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, I couldn't help but laugh! After talking for a long time, I thought I could get some secret words out of Lao Zhang's mouth.However, what Lao Zhang said was that Ye Jiaqi was "fascinated by the fox fairy", such nonsense! Speaking of the fox fairy, it is necessary for me to add a short explanation here.In China, both north and south, there are legends of the fox fairy. "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" even humanized the fox fairy and wrote many moving novels.And among the places I've been to, the city where I most definitely believe in the existence of fox fairies is Suzhou. The first time I came to Ye's house, I was only in the first year of junior high school. At the age of twelve, the first thing Mrs. Ye did when she saw me was to warn me not to offend the fox fairy. At that time, I naturally didn't Believe in the existence of fox fairies, Mrs. Ye seems to know that I don't believe it, so after admonishing me, she showed me more than twenty egg shells. Of course, it was not an ordinary egg shell, it was a complete egg shell without even the tiniest hole in the shell, but it was an empty shell. Mrs. Ye told me that this is the egg that the fox fairy had eaten. Indeed, because I can't figure out why there is not even a small hole, and the reason why the egg yolk and egg white disappear, I also hold a skeptical attitude towards the existence of the fox fairy. Afterwards, several things happened one after another, all of which were inconceivable and unexplainable, but I have never seen a "fox fairy", and of course I would not believe it definitively. Therefore, when I heard that a young man, a college student, was fascinated by a fox fairy, I couldn't help it, and immediately burst out laughing "haha". But Lao Zhang looked at me in amazement: "Master Wei, what are you... laughing at? Don't laugh!" I still smiled: "Old Zhang, you said that your young master is fascinated by a fox fairy. I think your young master is not fascinated by a fox fairy. He has a romantic nature. I'm afraid he is fascinated by a real fox spirit!" At this time, I thought I was smart and thought I had figured everything out. I thought, Ye Jiaqi must have met some seductive woman outside, and it was because of this that there was a quarrel with the family. However, as soon as I uttered the word "fox spirit", Lao Zhang's body shook, and even the horsewhip in his hand fell off.He yelled, the carriage stopped, he jumped down, picked up the whip, climbed up, and said: "Master Wei, you...you did good deeds!" I know that among all the taboos against fox fairies, "fox spirit" is the most serious and unspeakable.That's why Lao Zhang was so frightened that he even dropped his whip. I saw him frightened like that, and I just thought it was funny, and said: "Old Zhang, what are you afraid of? I am the one who called the fox spirit. Even if Lord Fox Fairy doesn't like it, he will only look for me, not you." Lao Zhang sighed: "Master Wei, I'm just worried about you. If you are like our young master, alas!..." While waving his whip, he still shook his head and sighed. I feel that things are not worth joking about, because every time, when he mentions their young master, the terrifying expression on his face is indescribable. I said sternly, "Old Zhang, there is nothing wrong with you young master. I even talked to him on the phone." Old Zhang said: "When it's good, it's the same as before, but—" He had just finished talking here, when suddenly two bright lights came from behind the carriage, and at the same time, a car horn sounded "beep", Lao Zhang hurriedly drove the carriage to the side of the road, and "huh" With a sound, a car passed by beside the carriage. The moment the car passed by, I could see clearly that it was Ye Jiaqi who was sitting in the car! I am by no means dazzled, because Lao Zhang immediately yelled out: "Young Master!" I also hurriedly shouted: "Jia Qi! Jia Qi!" However, Ye Jiaqi's car was driving very fast, and when the two of us called him together, his car was already about ten yards away, and he obviously didn't hear our call, because he had no intention of stopping. And in a blink of an eye, his car was out of sight. I hurriedly said: "Old Zhang, no matter whether we can catch up or not, let's catch up quickly!" Lao Zhang's body was trembling, and he said, "How did this happen? How could they let the young master come out." I heard the reason behind his words, and hurriedly said: "Old Zhang, what do you mean by saying that? Doesn't the young master have freedom of movement? Why does he accept other people's care?" "Oh," Lao Zhang couldn't help sighing: "You don't know, Young Master Wei, so you don't know anything!" I nodded and said, "Yes, until now, I still don't know what to do. Tell me, what's going on?" Old Zhang was panting, it seemed that he had made up his mind to tell me the truth of the matter, but at this moment, with a "huh", another car stopped next to the carriage again. down. The door of that car opened, and a burly man jumped out of the car, shouting: "Old Zhang, the young master is gone, he is driving a car, have you seen him? He is gone!" Old Zhang said angrily: "I saw him, he just passed by!" The big man dodged and was ready to shrink into the car, but at this moment, I also jumped out of the car and arrived in front of the big man.When the big man saw me, he was suddenly stunned. He obviously didn't expect me to appear at this time, he was a little surprised and shouted: "Master Wei!" That big man is one of the bodyguards of Ye Jiaqi's father Ye Caishen, so he naturally knows me.I just agreed casually, pushed him away, and looked into the car. Besides the driver, there was a middle-aged man with a dignified face behind the car, who seemed to be a doctor. I said loudly, "Get out of the car, get out of the car, everyone get out of the car!" The doctor said angrily, "Who are you?" I didn't say anything to him, I opened the car door, grabbed his clothes by the chest, and pulled him out of the car. The driver quickly opened the door and walked out, and I shouted again: "Old Zhang ,come here." Lao Zhang tremblingly came up to me, and I said, "Get in the car, I'll chase your young master with you!" Lao Zhang seemed unwilling, but I had already pushed him into the car, and I was sitting in the driver's seat. Once I stepped on the accelerator, the car seemed to fly forward and drove out.I turned up the headlights so that the light from the headlights could shine far away, and I made up my mind to catch up with Ye Jiaqi. Lao Zhang sat beside me with a terrified expression. While driving, I asked, "How is your young master?" Old Zhang's voice was a little whimpering, he said: "Young master must have offended the fox fairy, so the fox fairy is causing trouble on him!" I said loudly: "I don't want to listen to such words, please speak clearly." Old Zhang panted: "Master Wei, you must not say that I said it, the young master... When he is fine, he is all well, but suddenly he will cry and jump around. , He chased after everyone, but after the incident, he was like an ordinary person again." After I heard this, I couldn't help being stunned for a while. In this way, Ye Jiaqi is suffering from a mental illness! Lao Zhang said again: "It's been like this for more than three months. I don't know how many doctors I have seen. The old lady even sent someone to accompany him to Shanghai for examination by foreign doctors. The foreign doctors said he was very healthy. There is no illness, and the old lady prayed to gods and worshiped Buddha, but it was useless. Later, I thought of a way to get him married quickly." I kept frowning and listening, not interrupting what Lao Zhang said. Old Zhang said again: "Anyway, the eldest young master's marriage was arranged long ago. You know, Young Master Wei, Miss Wang's family, the young master is also very happy. If he wants to marry, the Wang family naturally agrees, but... But the young master is not here. I arrived at Wang's house seven days ago and snatched a kitchen knife from the kitchen, he... oh, he... snatched a kitchen knife..." I couldn't help it when I heard this, I stopped the car and said, "Old Zhang, you are talking nonsense!" Lao Zhang hurriedly said: "If I am talking nonsense, I have a bowl-sized boil on my mouth. The young master grabbed the kitchen knife and chopped five or six chefs in the kitchen. Miss Wang's two elder brothers, Miss Wang's elder brother, were seriously injured and are still in the hospital. Alas, I sent the eldest young master there that day. We worked together to hold the young master back. Miss Wang's family immediately passed out. past!" I stayed for a while longer and said: "In that case, this marriage cannot be concluded." Lao Zhang sighed: "People from the Wang family immediately called the old lady. When the old lady rushed to the Wang family, she hardly knelt down to kowtow to the Wang family's grandma. The Wang family's grandma was also a sensible person. She said that the young master was probably kidnapped by a fox The fairy is entangled, that's why it's like this, the family's ugliness can't be publicized, the marriage is still going on as usual, in fact, the Wang family is just looking good, the two banks they opened have long been empty, and our master is supporting them all!" I didn't pay much attention to what Lao Zhang said in the future, I was just thinking: Why did Ye Jiaqi suddenly go crazy? If he was really crazy, why did the doctors in Shanghai say that he was in good health because they couldn't detect him? What Lao Zhang said sounds really absurd, but I have no reason not to believe his words, even if he is daring, he would not dare to talk nonsense like this!
