Mingmen Family

Chapter 255 Face Change
"The last question, if we ask such a high price, will we still have a chance to become an imperial merchant?" Ye Chongming asked again.

"The emperor's business has nothing to do with the price. Unless you don't want money, people think you can make money from this transaction. Don't worry, we are doing business with the imperial court, and this transaction is also related to border security. We originally It is doing the business of 'Imperial Merchant'. The imperial court will not give the title of Imperial Merchant this year, but it will have to give it next year."

Ye Chongming felt relieved: "Then there's no problem."

Ye Yaming returned from the front yard to the back yard, and was still far away from the Chuihua Gate, when the enthusiastic voice of the gatekeeper woman came over: "Oh, the third girl is here."

When the voice came, people also greeted him, squatting down to salute Ye Yaming: "The old slave congratulates the girl, congratulates the girl."

Ye Yaming smiled: "Thank you two mothers. Bai Rui rewarded you."

Bai Rui quickly took out copper coins to reward.

After passing the Chuihua Gate, far away from the two wives, the outspoken Lue couldn't help curling her lips: "Look at them like that, it's really easy to follow the wind."

It turned out that the back house was managed by the eldest wife Dow.After Ye Yaming became the next head of the family, Mrs. Ye also asked Ye Yaming if she wanted to let Yin Shi participate in the housekeeping, but Ye Yaming refused.

Yin Shi was not that capable at all, and if she was asked to be the housekeeper, Mrs. Ye would follow Yin Shi to help clean up the mess, and let Tao Shi see jokes.

Secondly, Ye Yaming has taken Ye Hongchang's position as Patriarch, if Yin also took away the management position of the back house, Tao will not only be dissatisfied, but also hate her to the bone.

A family of flesh and blood, why bother?The harmony and tranquility of the home is more important than anything else.Ye Yaming also doesn't think it's important to manage a back house.With her around, Tao Shi can't afford to show his prestige in front of Yin Shi.

Therefore, this back house has always been under the care of Dow.

The women guarding the Chuihua Gate were all carefully cultivated and promoted by Tao Shi over the years, and they have always been loyal to her.After Ye Yaming became the next head of the family, these wives did not dare to offend her, but they also did not dare to show their flattery, so as not to annoy Tao Shi and withdraw their good jobs.

Therefore, they have always been lukewarm towards Ye Yaming.

Right now it's hot.

Bai Rui glared at Lu E, and she couldn't help herself after staring, and said to Ye Yaming: "Girl, they are acting according to the face of the master."

This is not to excuse those women, but to state the facts.

Ye Yaming knew what she meant, and smiled: "Indeed, this is a good thing."

Tao Shi was dissatisfied with her some time ago, so the maidservants under her management did not dare to curry favor with her.Now that these people are starting to flatter them, it means that Dow's attitude has also changed.

When there is not much difference in status between two people, the worse person will envy and resent the one who is better than her; but if the difference in status between the two is so great that it is as big as a gap that cannot be bridged, then the worse person can only envy and please, No more jealousy and resentment.

Humans are such a complex reality.

When we arrived at the gate of the second room, the woman guarding the door also congratulated Ye Yaming, and said: "Girl, the eldest wife and the fourth wife are in the second wife's yard. The second wife told you to go there first when you come back."

Ye Yaming had no choice but to go to Yin's courtyard.

Once inside, she was inundated with compliments.

Tao Shi is okay, maintaining the reserved and precarious personality of the eldest wife.After all, she was originally dissatisfied with Ye Yaming, but now she changed too quickly for fear of being ridiculed.

Guan knew that her mother-in-law didn't like Ye Yaming, even if she wanted to make friends with Ye Yaming, she didn't dare to say anything.

In contrast, Mrs. Zhang is very exaggerated, and she can't wait to praise Ye Yaming to the sky: "...I told your fourth uncle earlier that you are capable, but I didn't expect to be so capable that you can even make tea that is valued by the court. Come out and let the imperial court send third-rank officials to negotiate business with our family. How many merchants can have this honor? So when I heard the imperial decree of marriage, I was not surprised at all. A capable and smart girl like you, by Lu Isn't it right for the prince to love and propose marriage?"

He continued: "I told Rui'er, Xuan'er, and Ning'er when I got back that they have been under the influence of the third sister. Their good days are yet to come."

The three Ye Jiarui brothers and sisters thought they had received Zhang's advice, and when they heard their name, they gathered around and chattered authentically: "Third sister, you are so capable, my mother said that we should study hard and be as smart as you."

"Third sister, you are so beautiful. I wish I could look as beautiful as you." This is what Ye Yaxuan, the only girl among the three siblings, said.

The youngest, Ye Jianing, was only half a year old when Ye Yaming came in. He was still a crying baby in the arms of the nanny, and now he was able to run around and play mischievously.

He opened his big black eyes and rubbed his index finger, as if he was trying hard to recall what his mother had taught him, but he couldn't remember anything.

He turned his head and called Zhang Shi: "Mother..." He looked like he was about to cry.

Tao Shi saw this, sneered, and mocked Zhang Shi: "Fourth sibling, why are you doing this? See if Ning'er is in trouble? Ming'er is the most affectionate, but Ning'er and the others don't say nice things, she The supporting care is still supporting and caring, it really doesn’t have to be like this.”

Mrs. Zhang was very embarrassed by her youngest son's slow-down behavior. She blushed and wanted to explain something to Ye Yaming, but Ye Yaming stopped her with a wave of her hand.

Ye Yaming lifted Ye Jianing up into her arms, pinched his chubby little face, and said to Zhang Shi: "I know Fourth Aunt has always liked me. I'm usually busy and don't have time to play with my younger siblings. But I will take care of where I can, we are a family."

As she said that, she said to Ye Jiarui and Ye Jiaxuan: "Do you like the snacks that Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister order from the kitchen every day? You often go to play with them, they must like you very much."

As far as she knows, Zhang's discipline on the three children is quite strict, and the three children are very well-behaved and sensible, not bear children.

Ye Yayu has made great progress under the influence of Ye Yayin during this period, but she still has some social fears.Human cubs are just as cute as cats. I believe that Ye Yayu will be more cheerful if she gets in touch with three more children.

Mrs. Zhang could see Ye Yaming's kindness, and she was very happy immediately, and immediately said that she would let the three little guys play with Ye Yayin and Ye Yayu often.

Tao Shi interjected unwillingly: "Ming'er, when do you and Lu Shizi plan to get married?"

Ye Yaming glanced at her and said: "Zimo said that he will come to discuss the date with his grandfather after the court has settled the matter of buying black tea."

The smile on Dow's face remained unchanged, but a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
