Chapter 24: The Dawn of Misty Love
"Yes." Ah Xi bowed his head in response.
Ye Jingsheng nodded slightly, "Since it was the young grandmother who rescued you, then you can stay in the Ye family with peace of mind in the future." At least, it won't suffer as much as it used to. ”
"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master." Ah Xi bowed excitedly and said, and the originally apprehensive heart slowly settled down. Early this morning, the young grandmother told her that she should come to find out the young master's attitude. If the young master is willing to keep her, it will be excellent.
Ye Jingsheng looked at the happy girl in front of him, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and his eyes fell on Ah Xi's pink shoes, which were not big or small, and the shape was normal. Ye Jingsheng frowned and touched his chin, "Ah Xi, have you been wrapped?" ”
Ah Xi was stunned, as if he didn't expect the young master to suddenly ask this, just silently lowered his head and looked at his embroidered shoes embroidered with lotus patterns. "Originally, it was going to be wrapped, but my father was reluctant, so he didn't let Ah Xi wrap it." She knows that women are beautiful with small feet, just like the feet of a young grandmother. Wearing floral shoes embroidered with patterns, they are delicate and small and beautiful.
"Not wrapped!" Ye Jingsheng patted the table and said, but Ah Xi on the side was startled. In the past few days since he came back, he observed that none of the maids in the house had bound their feet. When he asked curiously, he learned that they had been sold by their families since they were young, and in order to work better, they saved the custom of binding their feet.
Now they still think in their hearts that foot binding is only enjoyed by young ladies from large families. Because, you don't have to do the hard work like them. Just wait for a good family affair and worry about it all your life.
But they didn't know how much they envied the ladies of the big families who were envious of them, and how they envied these maids who didn't have to be tortured by foot binding.
The heart of Xu is like this, what you have and what I don't have, I will always think of it; What you enjoy that I can't enjoy, I envy it all the time. But I don't know that what I have is excellent.
"The young master doesn't like foot binding?" Ah Xi looked at Ye Jingsheng, who didn't know what he was thinking, and said his guess.
Ye Jingsheng glanced at Ah Xi, the corners of his lips curled, and he looked particularly good under the white light. "Naturally, I don't like it. I think it's inhumane to kill women. Axi, you are lucky to have escaped this torture because of your father's reluctance. A woman's script should be naturally beautiful, and why should she be wrapped up in a cripple. ”
Ah Xi lowered her head shyly, looked at the upper of her shoes, and felt that her feet looked good for the first time.
Ye Jingsheng looked at Ah Xi, who was not moving, got up, took the wooden plate in Ah Xi's hand, and placed the food inside on the table. Ah Xi looked up, but saw the young man next to him leaning over and his handsome face, and for a while, he panicked like a deer.
"Where's the young grandmother?" Ye Jingsheng sat down and looked at the rice porridge and side dishes in front of him. One porridge and three dishes, the dishes have never been repeated.
Ah Xi lowered her head in a daze, staring at her embroidered upper, a little loneliness flashed in her eyes, "Young grandma went to Buzhuang early in the morning. ”
Ye Jingsheng took the hand of the porridge for a slight pause, and then took a sip. I didn't expect this little girl to be so positive, and she went to Buzhuang early in the morning. Ye Jingsheng's eyes drooped slightly, looking at the rice porridge in the bowl as white as snow. This is also good, and it also saves the embarrassment when the two of them meet.
On the long street paved with bluestones, Ye Renfu carried his hands on his back, paced slowly, and walked into the splendid cloth village with a light car. As soon as I entered the door, I saw female customers wandering in front of the counters. Ye Renfu's eyebrows raised slightly, this lively scene had not been seen in Buzhuang for a long time.
"The shopkeeper is here." Shopkeeper Zhuang walked over quickly with sharp eyes and said slightly.
"Uncle Zhuang." Ye Renfu nodded respectfully and shouted. Because Zhuang Zhou is the old man of Buzhuang, they naturally have to call him 'uncle' when they are these juniors. "Business is good today."
Zhuang Zhou looked at the crowded crowd in the store, and his face showed a little joy and relief, "Yes, this business today is not much worse than when it was the most prosperous." This is thanks to the young grandmother. ”
"Young grandma?" Ye Renfu looked puzzled, "Young grandma has come to Buzhuang?" ”
"Hmm." Zhuang Zhou nodded solemnly, "No, I came early in the morning." The new embroidery samples in the store were also brought by the young grandmother, and I heard that the young grandmother embroidered them at home before she left the cabinet. ”
Hearing this, Ye Renfu swept around. Sure enough, several new patterns were added to the original embroidery samples. They are the "Five Ruitu" composed of bamboo, pine, Xuan, orchid and longevity stone; peach, bat, double money composed of "Fushou Shuangquan"; Pomegranate, bergamot, peach composed of "Fu Shou Sanduo". These are some of the most common embroidery patterns, but these pairs clearly bring these simple dead objects to life. "Where's the young grandmother?" Ye Renfu retracted his gaze and looked at the female guests around him, thoughtfully.
"Oh. Young grandma in the embroidery room. The embroidery girls in the store can be entangled tightly, and they don't know where those questions come from, and they always can't ask them like a young grandmother. Zhuang Zhou smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were folded.
"Then Uncle Zhuang, you take care of it." Ye Renfu nodded slightly, and walked to the side door. Zhuang Zhou looked at Ye Renfu's figure, and there was a hint of indescribable emotion in his eyes. Over the years, he has watched Renfu grow from a child to a calm teenager today. But sometimes people are too capable, and it's not a good thing. Zhuang Zhou sighed lightly, turned around and continued to greet the guests.
Everyone has their own destiny, and who can control whom's fortune.
Ye Renfu walked out of the side door and walked into the long corridor, his hand, which was originally empty, held a towel at some point. When he reached the openwork window, Ye Renfu stopped and looked inside through the half-open window.
Several embroiderers surrounded the girl, the girl bowed her head, tiny needles fluttering on her fingertips, and behind her there were threads as thin as hair.
Could it be that if you really answer the words of the blind fortune teller, this Yan Suwan will be the lucky star of the Ye family? Ye Renfu looked at the girl with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Half a month before the happy event, Ye Qianzhong looked at the down-and-out Yan family, and he was reluctant to end this family affair. took the birthdays of Ye Jingsheng and Yan Suwan, and went to Zhao Blind, who called himself a 'living immortal' in Hexitou, to calculate.
The blind man Zhao just looked at the eight characters of the two of them, pinched his fingers, and said half-concealed and half-obscure that Yan Suwan would be the lucky star of the Ye family, and the two of them matched the eight characters. Ye Qianzhong was skeptical, and Yan Suwan was good at embroidery, so he admitted this family business.
In this world, there are many true feelings and truths, and they keep their promises; Yes, I am afraid that it is a permanent interest.
"The Great Butler."
I don't know who shouted first, and the embroidery girls hurriedly dispersed, bowing slightly towards Ye Renfu outside the window. As soon as Su Wan raised her head, she met Ye Renfu's gaze outside the window, bowed her head slightly, put the needle and thread in her hand, got up and walked out.
"Brother Ye." Su Wan stood in front of Ye Renfu, and when she looked at Ye Renfu, she still had to tilt her head. Because Ye Renfu's height was about the same height as Ye Jingsheng's, Su Wan always looked extremely petite when standing in front of them.
"Young grandma." Ye Renfu nodded slightly in response, then opened his palm, opened the towel in his palm, and a round blood jade appeared. It's just that the edges on both sides are inlaid with fine gold, which makes the overall lining of the jade pendant more luxurious.
"This is? My jade pendant? Su Wan was amazed, looking at the jade pendant in the scarf, the blood jade with fine gold, a little more exquisite, and there was no trace of the previous breakage.
"I wonder if the young grandmother is still satisfied and likes?" Ye Renfu's eyebrows and eyes were light, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he asked.
"I like it!" Su Wan held the jade pendant in her hand and looked at it carefully, it was a little more delicate than the original. "Thank you, Brother Ye!"
"Young grandma is polite." Ye Renfu nodded slightly, and when his eyes drooped slightly, he was clearly a little deeper.
At the end of the corridor not far away, there were two people, a man and a woman, one in front and one behind, and the woman was still carrying a food box made of bamboo.
"Young Master, aren't we going over?" Ah Xi looked at the two people who were faintly covered by a locust tree, looked at the young man in front of him, and asked puzzledly.
Ye Jingsheng looked at the girl who was smiling so frankly and cutely, and shook his head slightly. She had always been restrained in front of him, and it was rare for her to smile so happily, so why should he disturb her interest. Besides, Ye Jingsheng looked at the gentle young man in front of the girl; He was never her sweetheart.
"You send the food box over in a moment," Ye Jingsheng paused slightly, "Needless to say, I'm here." ”
"Less," Ah Xi looked at Ye Jingsheng's back, frowned slightly, and when he turned to look at the men and women not far away, his eyes drooped slightly, looking at the things in the girl's hand. In fact, she recognized it as the jade pendant that was broken yesterday at the beginning. But when she saw the young master's slightly frowning brows, the words came to her mouth, lingered for a while, and swallowed again.
The young grandmother saved her, she shouldn't have had a strange mind about the young master. However, after experiencing ups and downs, she really understood.
In this world, if you want not to be bullied and not to be fished, you have to rely on yourself and stand on your feet.
Even if it is by some unclever means. But if you can live to be a human being, what if you are not smart.
Ah Xi thought secretly, the look of a pair of dark eyes became more and more determined, and he walked over with the food box.
"Young grandmother, big housekeeper." Ah Xi shouted before he could get closer.
Su Wan turned around when she heard the sound and looked at the girl who came to Yingying, with a smile in her eyebrows. "Axi, why are you here?"
"Ah Xi saw that it was almost noon, and the young grandmother and the big housekeeper had not returned, so they brought lunch." Ah Xi took a few steps closer and bent towards Ye Renfu. A pair of eyes stayed on Su Wan's hand, and said in an excited tone: "Ah! This is not the jade pendant that was broken yesterday, how did it become so beautiful now. ”
Su Wan smiled when she heard this, and nodded Ah Xi's forehead, "Do you think it's good-looking?" This was made by Brother Ye, and I think it's a little more delicate than the previous one. ”
After hearing this, Ah Xi looked at Ye Renfu with flickering eyes, "The big butler's hand is really skillful!" ”
Ye Renfu smiled gently, "No matter how clever Renfu's hand is, it is not as skillful as the young grandmother's hand." ”
Su Wanxu didn't expect Ye Renfu to suddenly shift the topic to herself, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
"When I came to the cloth village today, I found that many of the female customers came for the new embroidery of the young grandmother.
