Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 131: Brat, stay away from her
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

Yang Yuzhen brought several family members with him, holding sticks, and said menacingly: "Don't hurt anyone, just scare him."

Yang Yuzhen felt uncomfortable when he saw Yin Ping'er and Chen Ce having a pleasant conversation last night.

Thinking back on how he had spent so much money on Yin Ping'er during this period of time, he even studied hard for Yin Ping'er, waiting to propose to her one day after passing the imperial examination.

How could he have never imagined that someone would get there first?

Yesterday, Yin Ping'er was investigating Chen Ce, and Yang Yuzhen also spent some money to find out Chen Ce's background from the neighbors in Huaihua Hutong.

He was from Hangzhou, sick, lonely and helpless, with some talent but no achievements.

All these characteristics combined together, for Yang Yuzhen, can be summed up in two words: gullible!

He needs to find Chen Ce and have a calm talk today, and ask him to stay away from Ping'er, otherwise it would be bad if there is any unpleasantness between the two sides!

Of course, Yang Yuzhen also knew his limits before setting out. After all, his family was just a merchant family, so he told his servants not to really take action, but to let the other party give up when they saw the difficulty.

Thinking about how much he had given to Miss Ping'er, every time he went to see Miss Ping'er, she was either taking a bath or on the way to take a bath. Yang Yuzhen knew that this was how much Miss Ping'er valued him. Since the young lady was willing to show her most beautiful side to him, wasn't this enough to show how much Miss Ping'er valued him?

Yes, he did not have Chen Ce's handsome face, nor did he have his calm scholarly aura. He admitted that it was not your fault that you were good-looking, but it was wrong for you to come out and attract a lot of attention!

……

Chen Ce had already made the dumplings last night, filled with sesame and brown sugar.

I cooked glutinous rice balls early this morning and was sitting quietly in the yard eating them when, by chance, a glutinous rice ball rolled onto the stone bench opposite.

Chen Ce was thinking about something and didn't even bother to wipe the glutinous rice balls on the stone bench opposite him.

As the newspaper develops, Wang Defa alone is definitely not enough and more manpower is needed. However, Chen Ce can't find anyone available now. He is alone in Shuntian Prefecture and can't find any help at all.

While Chen Ce was deep in thought, several uninvited guests broke in.

Chen Ce didn't recognize the other party, frowned and asked: "Who are you?"

Yang Yuzhen came to Chen Ce with a bad face. Just as he was about to sit down, Chen Ce reminded him, "Don't sit down."

Yang Yuzhen sneered, "You call yourself a scholar, but you don't even know how to entertain guests? Is this the etiquette of poetry and books for you scholars?"

"I want to sit!"

"I'm sitting down, what can you do?"

"Not only do I want to sit, I also want to twist and sway while sitting. Why?"

Chen Ce was silent for a moment, then said, "It's okay, just sit down."

"I remember you, I think we met last night."

Yang Yuzhen snorted, "It's good that you know. I'm telling you, Miss Ping'er is mine. Do you know how outstanding she is?"

"Do you know how Ping'er and I met?"

"Do you know how deep our relationship is?"

Where did this fool come from? Chen Ce was speechless. He only knew that there were such affectionate men in later generations, but he didn't expect there were also in the Ming Dynasty.

This somewhat overturned Chen Ce's three views.

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Yang Yuzhen said: "You don't know? Then I will tell you."

Chen Ce waved his hand and said, "I don't want to listen either."

"This young man."

"Yang Yuzhen!"

"Young Master Yang, let go. I can see that you are an infatuated person. Since ancient times, those who are affectionate have always been hurt by the heartless. Flowers have feelings, but flowing water is heartless."

Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, and the same goes for saving a dog.

Chen Ce kindly reminded the other party.

You are not even worthy of carrying someone's shoes, how can you talk about love? Aren't you asking for trouble?
Yang Yuzhen said indignantly: "What?! You want me to let go? What do you mean? Okay, okay, you want to compete with me?" "Do you have the strength to do so?"

"What strength?" Chen Ce looked at him puzzled.

Yang Yuzhen laughed and said, "I can wait for Miss Ping'er to get the first basket of soup dumplings out of the steamer in front of the Wuxi shop on a snowy day. Can you do that?"

"I can go buy some brown sugar ginger water at midnight and send it to Miss Ping'er overnight to relieve her abdominal pain. Can you do that?"

"I can……"

Chen Ce interrupted the other party and said calmly: "You don't have to say anything, I can't do it either, I admire you too."

Chen Ce knew that this child was very innocent.

"Is there anything else?"

Oh, huh? You're sending me away now? I haven't made my point clear yet!

"Of course there is! I ask you to stay away from Ping'er. If I see you being affectionate with her in the future, be careful!"

Several evil slaves standing behind him weighed the sticks with unfriendly looks on their faces.

Chen Ce thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment."

He entered the room, took out an embroidered spring sword, placed it on the table, and asked Yang Yuzhen, "Do you know it?"

Yang Yuzhen: “?”

What’s so great about holding a knife?

He stood up and took two steps back.

Chen Ce said: "This is the Embroidered Spring Knife."

Embroidered Spring Blade...isn’t that from the Jinyiwei?
Sorry for disturbing you.

Yang Yuzhen clasped his fists and said, "So you are from the Jinyiwei. I'm sorry, I didn't find out clearly. I'm disrespectful."

Chen Ce asked again: "Is there anything else?"

Yang Yuzhen's body trembled slightly, and he smiled and said, "No, haha, do you want soup dumplings? I'll buy you a basket, it's delicious."

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "No, thank you."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Chen Ce said, "Wait."

Yang Yuzhen quickly turned around and said, "Tell me, do you have any other instructions?"

Chen Ce said: "No, I just want to tell you that I am really not familiar with her and I have no interest in her. A good man has ambitions. If you get hurt in the future, you can come to me and I will help you heal."

The newspaper needs manpower, and will need more in the future. This person can be used because he knows the current situation, is humble, and is not completely reckless. He can bend and stretch. He is quite cute, and Chen Ce likes his temperament. He is a good businessman, but it's a pity that he is just studying.

"Thank you." Yang Yuzhen did not forget to express his gratitude.

After walking out of the courtyard, he took a deep breath, patted his chest, and said, "That was too dangerous!"

A servant pointed at Yang Yuzhen's buttocks in horror and said, "Master, do you want to change your pants?"

Yang Yuzhen: “?”

"What do you mean?"

The servant said, "You're so scared! You've even shit your ass off."

……

To Chen Ce, this was just a trivial episode. Yang Yuzhen would not trouble him again. Chen Ce was sure that he could observe human nature by observing their words and expressions.

With the development of the newspaper industry, Wang Defa alone may not be able to take care of everything, and Chen Ce will definitely need more people to help him run the business.

It was only a matter of time before Yang Yuzhen got hurt. As a man, every man has his head turned when he is no longer in the dark, especially when it comes to love. Work can dilute everything. Wait for him.

However, it must be said that the Embroidered Spring Sword sent by Wei Wenli is quite intimidating and can save a lot of trouble in daily life.
