Mingmen Family

Chapter 147
Ye Hongchang said: "Uncle knows that you like to read and write. I didn't know until your father went to the capital that even a businessman should study more, otherwise how would he deal with those literati? You have a good habit. The four treasures of the study are worthless , it's just a little wish from uncle."

Ye Yaming was a knowledgeable person in modern times. After arriving in the Jin Dynasty, because he often read books and practiced calligraphy, he also knew something about the four treasures of the study in this era.

Ye Hongchang gave this set of four treasures of the study, which was worth two or three hundred taels of silver.

At this time, another two servant girls came forward holding the box again. Inside the box was a set of gold inlaid jade jewelry and a set of red gold jewelry.

Tao said: "This is my thank you gift."

Ye Yaming said seriously: "Uncle, Auntie, I can't accept these. Yaqing is my elder sister. When something happens to her, I will help her no matter what. The friendship between us sisters is not gold and silver." Money can be measured. If I accept your thank you today, what will I become?"

The old lady Ye on the side opened her mouth: "Ming'er, your uncle and aunt are also full of love for daughters. Think about it, my daughter was met with bad luck, and almost fell into the lake with half her life. You lost your innocence after being rescued, you had to marry someone with ulterior motives, and you also made our Ye family fall victim to others. This series of disasters were all avoided because of you. They didn’t thank you, they didn’t show you anything, and they deserved to be parents, Do you still have a face to face?"

"I know you are a good boy, and you don't ask for anything in return for doing good deeds, but you also have to think about it for your uncle and aunt, don't you? You can feel at ease if you accept these things. If you feel sorry, take care of your second sister more in the future That's right."

"Grandfather, grandmother, your uncle and aunt will all walk ahead of you in the future, but you and your second sister have a long life. No matter what family your aunt chooses for Qing'er, no one knows how the future will be. Not sure. You are smart and capable. With you taking care of her, your uncle and aunt are more assured of her."

To tell the truth, Dow is sincerely grateful to Ye Yaming, and he is also sincere in presenting those thank you gifts.

But on the other hand, she felt that Ye Yaming, as a junior, as Ye Yaqing's younger sister, should not accept so many gifts out of reason.Both parties declined and declined, Ye Yaming accepted a set of four treasures of the study from Ye Hongchang, and a set of jewelry from her was in accordance with etiquette.

In her education, in the cognition she has formed as Ye's parents-in-law for so many years, this is the etiquette norm she thinks girls should abide by.

If the old man and the old lady persuaded Ye Yaming to accept all the gifts, she would feel that the two elders were too partial and would leave a grudge in her heart.

Now hearing Mrs. Ye's words, she immediately changed her mind. She was afraid that Ye Yaming would not accept the gift and take care of her silly daughter.

She said: "Ming'er, your grandmother is so right. You don't know, I always think your second sister is very good, everything is good. But this time when something like this happened, I realized that she is really stupid. .I'm really worried about such a silly child. We can rest assured only after you accept the thank-you gifts from uncle and aunt."

Ye Yaming didn't want to accept things like Ye Hongchang and Dow.

No matter in modern times, or in the ancient times when the shackles of the tea government were relatively deep, the profits of tea are very rich.It can be a cheap product, sold to ordinary people; it can also be a luxury product, made into the highest-end product and sold to the royal family and dignitaries.

In ancient times when there were no carbonated beverages and there were too many gaps to fill in tea making, the tea business was very promising.It couldn't be easier for Ye Yaming to make money.

She stepped forward, took the set of the Four Treasures of the Study into her hands, handed it to Lu E, and said with a smile: "I don't want to accept anything, and my uncle and aunt don't feel at ease. Then I will accept this set of Four Treasures of the Study, You take the rest back."

Seeing Tao opened her mouth, she stretched out her hand and made a stop motion: "We are a family. Isn't it right for a family to help each other? If I encounter any difficulties in the future, I want to ask my uncle and aunt for help. Do I still need to help each other?" Will you be willing to help if you give a few thousand taels of silver?"

"No, no, how is it possible?" Ye Hongchang repeatedly denied.

"That's it." Ye Yaming said, "So we don't have to be so polite. Too polite, but too humble."

Ye Chongming didn't speak all the time, but now he opened his mouth and said, "Hongchang, what Ming'er said makes sense. Take all your things back."

In the past, everything he did and said was based on the elder son and the eldest house.The eldest son is his heir, and the eldest son represents the continuation of the direct branch of the Ye family.

But since when, without knowing it, he has stood by Ye Yaming's side, thinking about problems for her.Especially now, Ye Yaming and Dafang are standing on the left and right, and he needs to be biased.

Ye Chongming himself has not realized this problem yet.

He only felt that if Ye Yaming accepted the gift from the big house, Ye Jiaxing, Ye Yaqing, and even Ye Hongchang in the big house would ask Ye Yaming for help whenever they encountered problems.

Perhaps at this moment, they are really grateful in their hearts.But as time passed, this gratitude gradually faded away, and the big gift given today would be enshrined in their hearts heavily, so that they would be justified in wanting Ye Yaming's help in the future.Maybe when the Ye family separates, they can still use this gift as an argument.

With him here, with the Ye family's tea and tea set business, and with the farm that Ye Yaming just bought, Ye Yaming will never be short of money in this life.Why bother to carry the shackles of the big house for these thousands of taels of silver?

It has to be said that Ye Chongming and Ye Yaming's thinking at this time is in sync.

Ye Chongming spoke. Although Ye Hongchang felt sorry, he didn't think too much about it.

Dow was even more delighted that he had given favors in front of his in-laws and Ye Yaming, and saved a lot of money.Immediately I felt happy.

Ye Yaming changed the subject and asked Ye Hongchang: "Uncle, have you found out about Yang Chuzhi? What's going on?"

"Alas." Speaking of this, Ye Hongchang was afraid again, "Yang Chuzhi's name is actually Yang An, and Chuzhi is his character. He is the son of Yang Zhongsheng, a member of the Yang family. But he was not long after Yang An was born. Because Yang Zhongsheng saved Yang Hong, he was released and restored his status as a civilian, so Yang An was able to study and get a good name."

Ye Yaming frowned when he heard that: "Then he told the second sister that his family has hundreds of acres of land, and how many shops are fake?"

"This hasn't been verified yet, so it should be fake." Ye Hongchang said, "A servant whose family background was there when he was released, no matter how shrewd and capable he is, it is impossible to make so much money in more than ten years .”
