“Tutorial?” Xia Chunyu didn’t understand.
Ye Jiayao explained :”That is to teach the cooks cook. Lu Xiaotian said he wanted to run a specialized training course for cooking. And I promised to teach, so I have to pile a teaching material. Practice is important, but so is the theory. The two have to be bined.”
“Ah, in fact, running a course is also a way to make money…” Ye Jiayao sighed in the end. If asking whose cooking skill is the best, it must be Lanxiang in Shandong. She was pletely able to run a famous chef training course. However, the idea had e up with Lu Xiaotian before her.
Xia Chunyu knocked on her head funny :” Haven’t you been busy enough?”
Ye Jiayao refused to suffer a loss, knocking back hard, said bitterly:” Can’t I just think about it?”
She didn’t have the time for it indeed.
Xia Chunyu made an exaggerated face of pain:” You’ve hit too hard, I’ve always been gentle.”
Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes:” My hand has also get hurt. Your head is hard enough like a stone.”
Xia Chunyu was speechless, hitting him while saying his head too hard, what kind of person she is!
“Well, have a look at this…” Xia showed a stack of drawings to Ye Jiayao.
Ye Jiayao opened and said happily :” the blueprints of the yard? What makes it so fast?”
“It had been finished for a few days. I went to Puji temple to take it back while I was not on duty this noon.”
Ye Jiayao looked them one by one. It was so detailed and professional with a general plan, elevations, construction drawings and so on that made her wonder if the Master Jiren was master in architecture.
“Take a look. Is there anything needed to modify?”
“I think it’s great, what about you?” Ye Jiayao could hardly pick any holes. Master Jiren was considerate than her.
Xia Chunyu smiled :”If you like it.”
“Have you payed the fees?”
“It’s not necessary. It would be fine to add some saisen by the time.” Xia Chunyu didn’t care.
There was also a certain amount even it was for saisen. Anyway, Master Jiren had designed such a great drawing for her while he had also gave her a divination to help her avoid a disaster, which made the addition a reward.
“Well, does it mean that it is possible to start work?” after reading the blueprints, Ye Jiayao couldn’t wait to see the new yard.
Xia Chunyu said:” If you are impatient, ask steward Bai to buy the materials, and it could start when the materials are prepared.”
“How much would it take?” Ye Jiayao had just thought about the key problem.
Xia Chunyu thought and said :”I have asked the Master Jiren, it has to take about two hundred thousand taels of silver. However, you don’t have to worry about the money, I will figure out if it is not enough.”
Ye Jiayao jumped off the bed to open the safe, and took out a ten thousand silver ticket and said:” You take these at first, and I will go to the bank tomorrow. At the worst, we pay the debt of Zhao Qixuan’s later. It would be good enough that they could e back after two years, by which time, we should have been rich. Aunt said we will have some dividends at the end of the year, and it won’t less than a few hundred thousand taels.”
“Lord, Second Mistress, it’s getting late.” Qiao Xi came in to urge.
Ye jiayao turned to look at the clock. It was actually getting late. They packed their things and hurried to the upper room.
After passing the hallway, they saw Liuli and Chunfeng walking from the other side. They were chatting in a loud voice. Liuli had recovered well recently, and smiled at whoever she met as usual, without putting on airs.
“Brother, sister.” Chunfeng saw his second brother firstly and hurried greet them politely.
Liuli smiled at them as well, greeting affectedly sweet.
Such a defenseless appearance made Ye Jiayao unfortable. She hadn’t forgotten how hatred the eyesight of Liuli’s was after her miscarriage that day.
Qiao’s hadn’t e for meal here for a long time. In fact, the big sister-in-law’s pregnancy reaction had just last for about ten days, she was quiet energetic. However, You’s was afraid of the undelightful memories by seeing Qiao Mingxiu, so she left Qiao having meals at her own room, without ing to make Liuli unfortable.
Qiao’s wasn’t angry at this also. She was happy to be free.
After dinner, Ye Jiayao sat with You’s for a while. Zhou’s came when she was about to leave.
Zhou’s came with a bright face, saying as long as she had taken her sit:” I am ing for asking big sister-in-law to make up an idea. You two help to give some advice as well.”
Ye Jiayao sneered and thought:” She e obviously to show off, while sighing deliberately.”
Liuli asked:” Is it the yulian you have asked for?”
Zhou’s answered:” yes, it was all for yulian. I was supposed to plan for jinlian, but, she didn’t have a proper object by now. so I have to make a decision for yulian at first.”
Well, Zhou’s took yulian out everyday, jinlian was not her own child so that she didn’t have a chance to show up. Who would e to ask marriage for her?”
You’s said softly,” What kind of young men had e to propose relatives?”
Zhou’s sighed again:” I don’t think much of anyone else, except two men under consideration. One is the second son of Deng’s, who is 22 this year, smart and handsome. He was ranted seventh in the first group last autumn, and was at the hanlinyuan now. He has a bright future while he is said to pany the lord before. The other is the big son of lord Cui. He was the champion of last year’s fight. He is twenty this year. Both of them are trueborn. What do you think, sister-in-law?”
You’s smiled:” Both of Deng’s and Cui’s have a relationship with me, and both of the two young men are great, whoever you choose would be good.”
Nowthat Zhou’s found it great, she would not say anything. What’s more, Zhou’s was ing to show off rather than asking for some suggestions today.
Zhou’s said:” How could both be ok? One of them must be greater. I supposed big sister would know more so that I came for your help.”
“Both civil and military are pillar of the country, you wouldn’t be wrong whoever you choose. It will all depend on your favour.” You’s said with a smile.
“It’s too hard. What should I choose? We had discussed for a few days without a result, while both of them are waiting for an answer.”
“That is because yulian is great enough. Don’t bother.” You’s followed her words to make her leave as soon as possible.
Liuli sneered suddenly,” Who told you that the second son of Deng’s was handsome? Haven’t you been told that he had six toes on each foot?”
“really?” Zhou’s asked surprisingly.
You’s quickly winked to Liuli. Why did she say so much? When it came to the six toes of the second son of Deng’s, Liuli had to be claimed hard. Deng’s had always kept that secret with no one knowing this outside. However, when he panied the lord, Liuli made a trick on him by throwing his shoes into the river while he was sleeping. The man cut his foot by the stone when picking up his shoes in the water. By this chance, he was known to have six toes, and was known to everyone by Liuli’s tumult, which resulted in his unmarried by now.
Liuli hadn’t realized You’s glaze at all, she continued:” If you don’t believe that, just go and inquire about it. You thought you have chosen a great marriage while being laughed at by others secretly.”
You’s was upset. It was unkind to expose other’s shortage. What’s more, she had already said good of the second son while Liuli came to demolish her. Why would Zhou’s not think that she was deliberately concealing and doing harm to her?
“The Deng’s was so terrible. It’s like cheating on marriage.” Zhou’s was angry. She had thought to show off while being ashamed in the end.
Ye Jiayao was really speechless at Liuli. Wasn’t her beating You’s on the face as saying that?
“Actually, it doesn’t matter. The sixth toe is much better than the sixth finger, isn’t it?” Ye Jiayao tried to round up,” Deng’s is a well-educated and innocent family, the second son has good characters, what’s the most important.”
Liuli said with a smile,” It’s easy to say for second sister. But will you agree to marry if it e to you?”
Ye scolded in heart: flatter bitch!
Ye said gently:” Can’t say that, I have already got married.”
“Jinxuan is right. As it is said that there is no perfect person. The small flaws can be ignored.” Said You’s.
“That’s impossible, I cannot make yulian laughed at that she has married a husband with six toes.” Zhou’s had obviously tired of the second son of Deng’s.
“As well as the son of Cui’s. Although he was good at fight, he didn’t look well. There is a big mole on his face, like a fly sticking there, which is disgusting enough.” Liuli scoffed again.
Zhou’s didn’t look well on her face. She was really angry and wondered whether all the men ing to marry yulian was unable to find a wife?
“Well, in that way, I could hardly believe the matchmakers. It’s better to e here today, or I would harm yulian.” Zhou’s said with great anger.
“I would return to tell the master to refuse both of them, yulian would certainly find a good marriage.” Zhou’s stand to leave angrily.
Ye sent her out, and heard You’s plaining:” Why bother you to reveal others’ shortages?”
Liuli didn’t care and said reasonably:” how can it be a revelation of others’ shortages? I was telling the truth. If the third married yulian in a fog, she would finally plain you in the future. I was thinking for you and yulian as well.”
Ye Jiayao sighed, if Liuli really think yulian was so good? Jinling was so big that gossip had already been spread to her ears that many people didn’t like the behavior of Zhou’s and third uncle’s for being too high-profile and boastful. Those true lord with real status wouldn’t seek yulian for marriage with such a family if it wasn’t for these reasons.
You’s was not going to argue with Liuli, who was too naïve. Whether characters or judgments about person, the wife of second son was more better than her.
