Ye Jiayao pointed to the houses on the list, including Prince Helian's Mansion and Yong'an Hou's Mansion, and said, "I am familiar with these houses, and I know what to give them, but I have never dealt with them before, so I don't know what to do with them." It’s so hard to come up with new ideas.”
Xia Chunyu looked at the gift list carefully and suddenly laughed: "Yao Yao, have you noticed the beauty of this?"
Ye Jiayao leaned over and said, "What's so wonderful about it?"
Xia Chunyu pointed to several places on the list and said, "Look, this is from the year before last, this is from last year."
As soon as he pointed it out, Ye Jiayao understood clearly. It turned out that Youshi was also a lazy person, but he just exchanged the gifts between this family and that family.
"Haha, it seems that my mother has lost her skills and resorted to this lazy method." Xia Chunyu said with a smile.
Ye Jiayao glanced at him: "Did you say that about your mother?"
However, it suddenly dawned on me, isn't it just a permutation and combination? She can do something better than Youshi, and I'm sure she won't be able to tell.
And she had a better idea.
Ye Jiayao took up a pen and wrote a gift list on the white paper, adding a Heavenly Residence gift box at the end.
"What is this?" Xia Chunyu asked curiously.
Ye Jiayao smiled proudly: "I thought of another way to make money. Aren't the various pastries in the cake shop selling well? I will improve and process it and make a beautiful gift box. Next year, it is a chicken, so I will go to the gold shop to bake it. Put a few gold medals or golden rooster jewelry in it, it looks good, tastes good and is noble, isn’t it very high-end and classy?”
This idea comes from the modern mooncake gift box. Isn't it just a big gift in the name of mooncakes? It's expensive to sell.
Xia Chunyu's eyes sparkled, looking at her excited little face, which was flushed and pink, like a ripe red apple. It was so tempting that people couldn't help but want to take a bite.
"I think Zhuge Liang doesn't have as many clever ideas as you do." Xia Chunyu said fondly.
"It's a golden idea. My ideas will eventually turn into gold." Ye Jiayao said proudly.
"I think you might as well change your name to Zhaocai, that way you can make money." Xia Chunyu joked.
"Go away. Believe it or not, I asked Xiaoji Xiaorui to bite you." Ye Jiayao puffed up her cheeks and glared at him.
"You're still little Ji Xiaorui, don't look at it. It's almost like a pig now." After Xia Chunyu finished speaking, he stepped away, and a pen flew dangerously over his head.
"You asked me to leave, I'm leaving." Xia Chunyu escaped to the study and laughed.
Today, Xiangtao and Yingying were on duty outside. Hearing the cheerful laughter inside, Xiangtao said: "Since the second young lady came in, the prince has been so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear all day long. In the past, the prince had a frozen face all day long. , we dare not say a word when we see it.”
Cherry said with a smile: "The second young lady is very nice. Although some people say bad things about her outside, I think the second young lady is really nice."
Xiangtao was surprised: "Did you hear what was said outside?"
Cherry hesitated and said: "I happened to hear that, they said... they said..."
Xiang Tao was anxious: "You should be more straightforward."
Cherry said weakly: "They said that the second young mistress is confused with many men, and the third young master also has something like that."
Xiangtao glared angrily and cursed: "Which bitch talks nonsense? Why didn't you slap her to death?"
Cherry was frightened by Xiang Tao's fierce look: "I... I don't dare!"
"You are so useless. Others arranged your master like this, but you don't dare to stand up. You don't come back and say it. Come on, who said that?"
"Yes, it's Hong Xiu in the eldest mistress's house who is telling people." Cherry whispered.
Xiangtao angrily turned around and went to find Qiao Xi.
"Sister Qiao Xi, these people are so lawless, they should tear her mouth apart."
Qiao Xi was also very angry, but she had a calm temperament and was not like Xiang Tao who would explode at the slightest moment.
"This matter must be reported to the Second Young Mistress. If the rumors are allowed to spread and become more and more intense, the rumors about the absence of a shadow will become true."
Qiao Xi made up her mind and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Ye Jiayao's work became smoother and smoother, and she had a good idea, and she was in a very happy mood.
Qiao Xi entered the door and took a look in the west room first. The prince was reading official documents, then walked to the second young lady and whispered a few words in her ear.
Ye Jiayao slowly put down her pen, put on her shoes, and came to the ear room.
"Cherry, please tell me everything." Ye Jiayao was very calm, but it could be seen from her sharp eyes and serious expression that she was extremely angry.
The clay figurine still has an earthy nature. She has endured it again and again, but they have only gotten worse.
Cherry bravely told what happened: "... When they saw me walking over, they stopped talking, but I heard them all, and they really heard them."
OK! Red sleeves, right? She believed that these words definitely did not originate from Hong Xiu, but she would find them out one by one. If she didn't slap those bitches, her surname would not be Ye.
Damn it, if the tiger doesn’t show off its power, do you think I’m a sick cat
"Who was there at that time?"
A quarter of an hour later, these people were brought to Youshi by Ye Jiayao.
Ye Jiayao knelt down in front of Youshi, with tears in her eyes, unable to control herself with grief and anger.
"Mother, I can tolerate everything else you say about me. My family and everything will be prosperous, but I can't bear these words. This is not only about my personal reputation, but also about Chunyu's reputation and the reputation of the Hou family. Please mother. The wife makes the decision.”
Youshi's hands were shaking with anger: "Jinxuan, get up first. Mother Sun, go and call Mingxiu and Hongxiu."
Mrs. Qiao was coaxing the child to sleep, and Mrs. Sun came to tell the story in person. Mrs. Qiao hurriedly handed the child to the wet nurse, put on her red sleeves and came to the bedroom.
As soon as he entered the room, Mr. Qiao was stunned for a moment, what happened? The second younger brother and sister were wiping their tears there, and there were several girls kneeling underneath.
As soon as Hongxiu saw the person kneeling on the ground, her face turned pale.
"Mother, did you call me?" Mrs. Qiao timidly stepped forward and saluted.
Youshi glared at her angrily, his eyes like daggers, which made Qiao's heart pounding, and she quickly reflected on whether she had done anything wrong recently.
Youshi said coldly: "Stand aside for me first, and I will settle the score with you after I finish asking my questions."
"Hongxiu, kneel down for me." Youshi shouted sharply.
Hongxiu's legs softened and she knelt down.
"You're a bitch, you're arranging your master's secrets, what's your crime?"
Hongxiu knew that she could no longer deny it, and kowtowed repeatedly: "I deserve to die, I don't dare to do it anymore..."
"Tell me, who taught you this?"
Ms. Qiao was shocked. She already knew what her mother-in-law was referring to. It must have been that day when she took Hong Xiu to Mrs. Zhou's place. When Mrs. Zhou said bad things about her second brother and sister, Hong Xiu listened. Immediately a chill ran down my spine.
Hongxiu looked at Mrs. Qiao timidly.
Qiao said anxiously: "Look what I did? What on earth did you say?"
Hongxiu didn't dare to point her finger at Mrs. Qiao, after all, this was her master.
"Speak now, or I'll beat you to death with sticks." Youshi was really angry. She believed that the second daughter-in-law was not such a person, and this kind of scandal was unforgivable no matter which family it happened to.
Hongxiu trembled in fear and said tremblingly: "My slave... I heard it from the third lady."
"When, where, and who else is there?" You asked. She had already expected that it was Zhou, a bitch, who was causing trouble. Zhou suffered a big loss at the hands of his second daughter-in-law and was holding back her bad feelings.
Hongxiu burst into tears and looked at the eldest mistress with tears in her eyes.
Ms. Qiao also knelt down: "Mom, this is all my daughter-in-law's fault. It's my daughter-in-law's fault."
You Shi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you also involved?"
Mrs. Qiao has been in the house for many years and has never seen Mrs. You speak so harshly. She was frightened and said with a cry of grievance: "My wife didn't say anything bad about my second brother and sister. It was my third aunt who did. She even defended my second brother and sister several times." "Who would have thought that this girl Hongxiu would listen to her and talk nonsense outside? It's because my daughter-in-law is lax in her governance and she is willing to be punished."
Xia Chunyu finished handling the official documents, stretched out, and was about to have a rest. He walked out of the study, only to find that Yaoyao was not in the room. There was a half-written gift list on the short table, so he called Yingying, but who knew that what came in was Xiangying. Peach.
"Where is the second young lady?"
Xiangtao's mouth dropped and she started crying.
Xia Chunyu frowned: "Why are you crying?"
Xiangtao sobbed: "The second young lady took Yingtao and Sister Qiao Xi to see Madam."
"Did Madam pass the message to the Second Young Mistress?"
"No..." Xiangtao cried and shook her head.
"Can you speak properly?" Xia Chunyu became impatient.
Xiang Tao said: "My lord, you must seek justice for the second young mistress. Someone in the house is arranging for the second young mistress."
Xia Chunyu's eyes turned cold: "What have you arranged?"
"They said that the second young mistress and the third young master were not clear about each other. The second young mistress was so angry that she took someone with her to find the madam."
Not only the second young lady was furious, but Xia Chunyu was also furious. Who dares to make up such lies and treat him as a dead person
When Mrs. Zhou heard that Mr. You was looking for her, the boss came over reluctantly and procrastinated.
As soon as he entered the door, he complained: "Sister-in-law, what time has it been? If you have anything to say, I can't do it tomorrow..."
When she saw the battle in the room clearly, the rest of her words were stuck in her throat, and she felt weak for a while, but she quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Hey, what are you doing? It's so big in the middle of the night. movement."
When Ye Jiayao saw Mrs. Zhou, the evil fire in her heart rushed straight to her head.
"Third Aunt, which of your eyes saw me seducing my uncle? You tell me clearly today, otherwise, I will never be done with you." Ye Jiayao said sternly.
Mrs. Zhou chuckled softly: "Daughter-in-law Chunyu, what kind of madness are you? When did I say that you seduced my uncle? This can't be true, and it can't be true. Do you need me to make irresponsible remarks?"
"Aren't you enough to make irresponsible remarks? My sister-in-law has already admitted it, but you are still making excuses. It's true that a humble person is invincible." Ye Jiayao was so angry that she didn't care whether you were an elder or not.
Mrs. Zhou's expression changed: "Who are you scolding? You are really born without mother's teachings. There are no rules at all."
"You have a mother who taught you, and that taught you to be insatiable, jump up and down and stir up trouble, just to avoid chaos in the world. If I were your mother, I would have strangled you to death with a belt to save you from being embarrassed everywhere. ." Ye Jiayao retorted.
