Chapter 55: First Sight of Ye Yunlan 3
The man's long ink-colored hair was tied up by a crown of white jade hair, and the slanted sword eyebrows were slender and contained sharp black eyes, the bridge of the nose was raised, the lips were thin and lightly pursed, and the angular outline was sharp. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A slender tall but toned figure, with a noble temperament in every move.
Ding Yiyi strode into the living room, and Madame Bai beckoned to her: "Yiyi, come and sit here." ”
"Hello godfather and godmother, my mother asked me to say hello to you, saying that she wants to be godmother very much, so that godmother has time to go to the house to sit. Ding Yiyi said in a crisp voice, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Bai Zhixiang nodded, and asked the maid to take the fruits and snacks in Cuilian's hand and find a plate to bring to the living room.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is Ye Yunlan, the grandson of Old Lady Liu. He looked at the young man next to him.
The man looked over at Ding Yiyi, with a hint of a smile in his long narrow eyes.
I saw the girl in front of me wearing a goose yellow dress, a string of white pearl necklaces around her neck, fair skin, a pair of big talking eyes on her beautiful face, long eyelashes, a black hair simply coiled behind her head, and only a pearl hairpin ring on her head, simple and generous without losing nobility.
The woman sat there with a smile in her eyes, standing pretty, her whole face was beautiful and refined
"Yun Lan, this is Ding Yiyi, the young lady of the Ding family, and she is also my goddaughter. Bai Zhixiang looked at Ye Yunlan with a smile.
Ye Yunlan stood up and gave a salute: "Hello Miss Ding, I have seen Miss in the next Ye Yunlan." ”
Ding Yiyi saw that Ye Yunlan was polite and also got up and saluted back: "Little girl Ding Yiyi, please take care of Brother Ye in the future." ”
Ye Yunlan saw that Ding Yiyi was not shy and generous, and couldn't help but have a good impression of her in her heart, no wonder the two Jinxuan brothers often said that Miss Ding was a woman among women, and it was really the case when they saw it today.
Ding Yiyi saw Ye Yunlan looking at her, thinking that he knew that he had bought the Ye family's house before and looked at her more, so he couldn't help but smile at him.
Bai Zhixiang saw that the two had known each other, so he said: "Yun Lan, don't look at Yiyi's daughter's family, the Ding family's business can be taken care of by her." ”
"Godfather, how can I be as powerful as you say, my family's business is not managed by my father and uncles. Ding Yiyi said modestly.
Ye Yunlan knew that what Bai Zhixiang said was true, and he had also heard Jinxuan and them talk about Ding Yiyi, this Ding Yiyi was a great woman.
"Miss Ding is too modest, I have also heard Jinxuan talk about you. "Ye Yunlan
The maid next to her was very eye-catching, and immediately moved a mahogany chair and placed it on Madame Bai's left hand side.
Ding Yiyi smiled and nodded with Bai Jinxuan, sitting on the left side of Madame Bai.
"What have you been doing at home lately? I don't want to come to see my godfather and godmother. I often talk to your godfather about you! If you don't come again, I'll go to Dingfu to see you. Madame Bai said in an affectionate tone.
"Godmother, I'm not busy with business! Dad and mother also invited me Mr. Guzheng, I don't like to learn that, my mother said that everyone should be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I have to learn a little. Ding Yiyi couldn't help but complain.
"You kid, your mother is also for your good, I also think what your mother said makes sense, learning Guzheng will make people's temperament better. Madame Bai couldn't help but smile and comfort her.
"Yiyi! Part of the Liu family's business is now taken care of by Yun Lan, and you may often deal with each other in the future!" Mrs. Bai looked at Ye Yunlan, who was chatting and laughing with Bai Zhixiang's father and son.
"Well, I don't know what kind of business the Liu family is managed by Ye Yunlan?" Ding Yiyi still doesn't know what business the Liu family does, because Old Lady Liu's son is an official in the court, so those businesses are all taken care of by Ye Yunlan and Old Lady Liu's grandson Liu Wenjie.
"He is in charge of the business of grain, oil, cloth, fur and other aspects, while Liu Wenjie, the son of the Liu family, is in charge of the business of jewelry and restaurants, and the Liu family also has a granddaughter named Liu Ruyu, who is in charge of the business of rouge gouache and female red. Mrs. Bai even told Ding Yiyi about the Liu family's other businesses by the way.
"Oh! Master Liu is an official, it stands to reason that the Liu family is also a scholarly family, why are their sons and daughters learning to do business?" Ding Yiyi felt very strange, shouldn't this family take the road of becoming an official in the scientific examination?
"You don't know this, Mrs. Liu's son Liu Ye has a concubine in addition to his wife, this Liu Wenjie and Liu Ruyu were both born to his second wife, Mrs. Liu's son Liu Wenlong is now studying in the best school in Beijing, and Mrs. Liu's eldest daughter is married to the eldest son of the general's family, and now she is the wife of the young general. The youngest daughter married the third prince and became the wife of the prince. Madame White explained.
"Oh! Didn't the emperor say anything about the daughter of the Liu family marrying the young general?" Ding Yiyi remembered the Chinese history she had learned when she was in school, and those emperors were the most taboo about the marriage of civil ministers and military generals, for fear that others would rob him of his position.
"I don't know, but the Liu family has been loyal for generations, and the two daughters of the Liu family were married by the emperor. Madame Bai didn't know about those things in the court, and she was puzzled by Ding Yiyi's question, and she stared at her and didn't see anything different.
The two listened to Bai Zhixiang while chatting quietly, and they were talking about the business of neighboring countries and the novelties they encountered when they went out.
Ding Yiyi heard Bai Jinxuan say that in a small country called Yulin Country in the east of Yelan Country, he saw a shining stone, which was very hard and sharp, and could even cut the crystal, and couldn't help but ask for a while: "What does that kind of stone look like?"
Bai Jinxuan saw Ding Yiyi looking at him curiously, smiled mildly and said, "Yiyi likes that kind of stone, it just so happens that I brought a few when I came back this time, and I will give you two to make jewelry." ”
Ding Yiyi felt that he had misunderstood what he meant, but the things that Bai Jinxuan sent should not be in vain.
"Brother Jinxuan, I just want to know if the kind of stone you are talking about is the same as the stone I heard people say. Ding Yiyi looked at him expectantly, her big eyes full of curiosity.
"You have to ask Yun Lan about this, he often goes to neighboring countries, and I also went to Yulin Country with him this time to enter the jade once. The stone is transparent and colorless, and I don't know it's the same as you've heard. ”
Bai Jinxuan wanted to tell her, but he really didn't know much about that kind of stone, so he looked at her helplessly.
"Oh, that's it!" Ding Yiyi was a little disappointed.
She turned her head to look at Ye Yunlan, her eyes sparkled, if it was a diamond, she would have to hurry up and enter a batch, so that she could make another profit.
Ding Yiyi remembered that in the past, advertisements on TV often said that diamonds are eternal, and one will last forever.
If she had those diamonds, she would have to make them into jewelry and sell them for some silver as advertised in the past.
