Mingmen Family

At the same time, Ms. Ye San also used a method called double-entry accounting. Each transaction is recorded in at least two different accounts. "If there is a loan, there must be a loan, and the loan must be equal." Jiang Huan praised him, he was willing to try this method on the Ye family's accounts.

……

The Ye family is rich, and the furniture in the family needs to be repaired occasionally, and there are marriages from time to time, so they support two carpenters all year round.Ye Yaqing made furniture when she got married, and invited a few good carpenters to do it together.Now that Ye Yaming is married, craftsmen are ready-made.

Ye Yaming doesn't like particularly complicated carvings, and the patterns she chooses are simple and elegant. In addition, there are many craftsmen. In less than one and a half months, the furniture she wants to make is ready.

After seeing it, Ye Yaming felt that there was no problem, and immediately asked someone to move into Lu Guanyi's house.

This house is a green brick and tile house, and the main house in the inner courtyard faces south.The pattern of ancient buildings all pay attention to "one bright, two dark and three passing". The door of this main house is not in the middle of the house, directly facing the corridor, but a small door is opened in the hall to enter the bedroom.

In the outer room of the bedroom, on the right hand side of the door is a set of two short and one long Chinese-style sofas covered with thick cushions.On the other side corner is a long table, one third of the side is a dressing table, and the remaining two thirds are decorated with vases and other decorations on both sides, and the four treasures of the study are placed in the middle.

In the inner room of the bedroom, there is a big bed measuring [-] meters wide and [-] meters long in the center against the east wall. It is covered with a soft mattress specially made by Ye Yaming. There are footrests and bedside tables on both sides. The curtain can be opened from both sides. During the day, the curtain and the surrounding shelves can be tied together to make the space more spacious.

Because this is for newlyweds, the curtain is made of red yarn.After the wedding period, Ye Yaming planned to change the gauze of the curtain to blue.

The modern placement of this bed is totally different from this era.In the bed of this era, the head and sides of the bed were placed against the wall, that is, placed in a corner of the room.If the person sleeping inside wants to get out, he must step over the person sleeping outside, which is very inconvenient.Moreover, the tents are pressed on three sides under the matting, and only the outer side can be opened and closed.The side next to the wall is shrouded in the darkness of the tent all the year round.

Because the wall against which the head of the bed was leaning against was more than five meters to six meters long, after placing a two-meter-wide bed and a first-level footrest in the middle, Ye Yaming made a row of wardrobes on both sides, one for each person. , without interference.

In the eyes of people in this era, this kind of design may feel outrageous.After all, men are superior to women here, and wives cannot be equal to their husbands.Ye Yaming's design is that men and women occupy half of the sky, which fully embodies the concept of equality between husband and wife.

Finally, a screen at the height of the wardrobe stood one meter from the foot of the bed, dividing the room in two.

Ye Yaming didn't like the fully carved screens, and felt that the color of mahogany was too heavy and depressing.She only used a carved frame, with five silk paintings in the middle. She paid a lot of money to ask a famous painter in Lin'an City to paint five lilies on it.

The overall layout of the room is actually similar to Lu Guanyi's original one, but because the furniture made is larger in size and exquisite in style, coupled with the soft furnishings, the whole room looks very grand.The exquisite style and color matching of the soft furnishings in the house show the meticulousness and ingenuity of the decorator everywhere.

In addition to this master bedroom, Ye Yaming also arranged the two rooms in the west wing. One is her other bedroom, which has a bed and a table. It is similar to the layout of the master bedroom, except that the bed is only 1.5 meters wide; The other room was arranged by her as her own study.

The remaining one became her small storeroom, where she could store some of her frequently used things in the future.

After thinking about it, if the East Wing is left alone, it will make Lu Guanyi feel that he has been treated poorly. In the end, she moved Lu Guanyi's original things to the westernmost room, the middle room and the easternmost room. They were all arranged in the same study and bedroom as her own.

If Lu Guanyi doesn't like it and wants to rearrange it, then let him do it.

For the rest, she simply added some furniture to the halls of the courtyards and the main house.

As for other places, she didn't move.She was usually busy with things and didn't have time to go to the garden to plant flowers and grass, so she called the gardener of Ye's family to look around, tidy up the flowers and trees once, and considered that the house was finished.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, and privately said to Old Song Tou and his son Song Gang: "It seems that the wife of the future Shizi will save trouble. Every time she comes, she is very kind to us, and there is always a reward for doing something for her. So I'm relieved."

She heard from the messenger boy that the wife of the future Shizi may live here for more than half of the year.She was very worried that someone who would be difficult to get along with would make life difficult for them.

"That's right, the bedroom in the main house is arranged weirdly by her. I have been to the bedrooms of many powerful people with my wife before, and I have never seen things arranged like this."

As she spoke, she described the appearance of the bedroom in the main house to Old Song.

"Master's affairs, why do you care so much? You don't care, so you can gossip?" Old Songtou was also a small steward in the Lu Mansion, and he has the majesty of the head of the family at home, "As long as Madame has a good temper and is kind to us, that's fine."

Mrs. Li shrank her neck and muttered: "I didn't say anything, I just had a private discussion with you."

"There will be a hostess in this mansion from now on, so don't talk about some things in private. Whether it's the young master's respect for Miss Ye, or the fact that their marriage was bestowed by the emperor, and the importance of the black tea made by Miss Ye to the court. Sex, the wife of the future son is not something we can neglect. Just remember." Old Song head knocked.

"understood."

……

Time flies, and soon it will be September, and the day of getting married is coming soon.

The Ye family came to add makeup one after another.

Ye Chongming also saved private money over the years, privately gave Ye Yaming 1 taels of silver at the bottom of the box, and Mrs. Ye gave a farm.

As Ye Hongsheng and Yin's biological parents, if the dowry that can be put on the face is not what they give, it will inevitably make people talk.Seeing that Ye Chongming had already given the bottom silver of the press box, the couple bought a shop and a Zhuangzi as dowry after discussion, worth 7000 taels of silver.

Ye Hongchang and Tao Shi were originally uncles and aunts, and two sets of head jewelry and some silk and satin would be enough.

But Ye Yaming gave Ye Yaqing a shop worth 1 taels back then, and they couldn't seem too stingy, so they gave Ye Yaming a big village in Tongxiang, worth about 5000 taels.Ye Yaqing gave over 3000 taels worth of head and face jewelry.
