Chapter 21: Hiding in the heart as if nothing happened
Su Wan looked up at Ye Renfu, just in time to meet Ye Renfu's gaze. Su Wan lowered her eyes slightly, these eyes seemed to have the deterrent power to see through the bottom of people's hearts. Su Wan just shook her head, and quickly changed the topic, "Where is Brother Ye taking me?" ”
Ye Renfu retracted his gaze, looked at the front casually, and said lightly: "Today is the day when the splendid cloth village recruits embroidery girls, so I want to ask the young grandmother to be a referee and choose a few good embroidery girls to stay." ”
As he spoke, he came to a window carved with openwork, and through the crack, he could see the scene in the room. Nearly a dozen embroiderers sat beside the wooden frame, embroidering and painting with stitches and threads.
"At that time, someone will collect these embroidered patterns, and then the shopkeeper Zhao will select a few good ones from them, and then carry out the next round of assessment." Ye Renfu glanced at the embroidery girls in the room, then withdrew his gaze and said lightly.
"Since it is reviewed by Shopkeeper Zhao, what do I need to do?" Su Wan blinked and looked at Ye Renfu in confusion.
Ye Renfu nodded slightly, "I have long heard that the young grandmother embroidered a good embroidery, and I have just won the praise of the embroidery girls in the embroidery room." So, Renfu thought, this time please ask the young grandmother to review. ”
Su Wan frowned slightly, with a look of embarrassment, "But this was originally reviewed by Zhao's shopkeeper, if I,"
"Young grandma don't worry too much, your embroidery is on top of Zhao's shopkeeper, she will definitely not complain." Ye Renfu said lightly.
Su Wan frowned slightly, still very entangled in her heart.
Ye Renfu seemed to see Su Wan's thoughts, and said again: "Young grandma, it's better to go first and take a look, and then make a decision with Shopkeeper Zhao." ”
Su Wan looked at Ye Renfu, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in response: "It's okay." With that, he turned and walked into the room. Passing through the gaps in the rows of embroiderers, I looked at the embroidery patterns of the embroiderers very seriously.
Ye Renfu stood outside the window, watched quietly for a while, then turned around and turned back. When I turned back to the store, I saw Ye Jingsheng standing in front of the counter and looking left and right.
Ye Renfu sighed slightly, "Young Master." ”
Ye Jingsheng turned his head when he heard the voice, and when he saw Ye Renfu, he walked over happily, "Brother Ye." As he spoke, he opened his arms and was about to hug him.
Ye Renfu raised his eyebrows slightly, and moved his steps quietly, avoiding Ye Jingsheng's outstretched arms. Ye Jingsheng was not annoyed, put down his arms, leaned on the counter, and looked at Ye Renfu.
"Brother Ye, you are becoming more and more estranged from me."
Ye Renfu stepped aside, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured a cup of tea, "Young master, Western etiquette is not suitable for me. As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and walked over and handed it to Ye Jingsheng.
Ye Jingsheng raised his eyebrows, took the teacup, and gently slid the mouth of the cup with his fingers. "Brother Ye doesn't think that the times have changed, and we should also change, don't always stick to the rules."
"It has nothing to do with me whether the times have changed or not, and I don't care if I don't follow the rules. All I want to do is live in peace in this chaotic world. Ye Renfu said lightly, unable to hear the emotion in his words.
Ye Jingsheng was slightly stunned, and then smiled. "Brother Ye, you can become an immortal in this state of mind in the previous era."
Ye Renfu smiled faintly and looked at Ye Jingsheng, "By the way, Grandma Gang said that you are going to do something, what are you doing?" ”
Ye Jingsheng touched the bridge of his nose, the corners of his lips curved, and he remembered the letter and concentric knot he had just sent. Come to think of it, Keiko will like it very much. "Nothing." Ye Jingsheng dealt with it casually, "By the way, what about Su Wan?" Why didn't you see her? ”
Ye Renfu didn't intend to ask, but looking at Ye Jingsheng's dodgy appearance, he thought that it was not a good thing, so he didn't continue to ask. "The young grandmother is reviewing the new embroidery girls."
"She audits the embroidery?" Ye Jingsheng was stunned. Does this girl understand, and she also audits the embroidery girl.
Ye Renfu seemed to see Ye Jingsheng's thoughts, and said lightly: "Don't you know that the young master doesn't know that the young grandmother is the daughter of the first embroidery girl brocade in Suzhou." At the age of ten, he had a good hand in embroidery. Come to think of it, there is no second person in Qinghe Town who embroiders better than the young grandmother. ”
Ye Jingsheng touched his smooth chin and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect this little girl to have such skills." ”
Ye Renfu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Ye Jingsheng, "Therefore, the young master still listens to his father-in-law, reins in his temperament, and carries forward the Ye family's industry with the young grandmother." ”
"Snort." Ye Jingsheng snorted disappreciatively, thinking about the appearance of Su Wan when she put away and left the book last night, Ye Jingsheng still felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart. It's better to officially reconcile with her early, and save her delay.
"I've always been a fool, how can my father really trust me to deliver such a big property. Besides, isn't there still your big brother Ye. Ye Jingsheng looked at Ye Renfu with a hippie smile.
Ye Renfu just smiled and didn't answer. I'm afraid that the father-in-law is the most worried about him now.
"That's right, Brother Ye. Dad said this morning that he was going to Wuhan and what cotton fabrics he was going to see. What's going on? Ye Jingsheng frowned slightly, and felt more and more that his father's trip was a little strange. Usually, he is the one who doesn't like to go out the most.
Ye Renfu's eyelids moved slightly, and he didn't bother to rap with Ye Jingsheng, so he said directly: "My father-in-law was invited by a Hubei businessman this time. I heard that this businessman took a fancy to the silk of the Ye family, so he thought about combining silk and cotton fabrics to obtain greater benefits. The father-in-law went this time, Xu was discussing this matter, and by the way, he took a look at the businessman's industry in Wuhan. ”
"I see." Ye Jingsheng touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "The combination of silk and cotton fabrics is unheard of. That Hubei businessman is not a liar?! ”
Ye Renfu straightened his slightly folded sleeves and said lightly: "You can talk to your father-in-law about this." ”
Ye Jingsheng shrank his head, "Forget it, I don't want to beg for a fight." ”
"Butler Ye, Butler Ye." A shrill female voice came from behind him. Ye Renfu went to the prestige, only to see that the curtain on the side door was opened, and it was the shopkeeper Zhao who held the pattern he had just selected and sent it over.
"Who is, young master?" Shopkeeper Zhao held the pattern in his hand, looked at the young man in Western clothes in front of him, and guessed.
"Yes." Ye Renfu just responded lightly, and then reached out to take the pattern in Zhao's shopkeeper's hand. Looking at the pattern, the embroidery is excellent.
"Young Master." Shopkeeper Zhao smiled and owed to Ye Jingsheng. It caused Ye Jingsheng to feel uncomfortable for a while, and he is now accustomed to the Western etiquette of 'shaking hands'.
"These are the young grandmother's choices?" Ye Renfu looked at the pattern in his hand, and asked out loud without raising his eyelids.
"Yes, it's all chosen by the young grandmother. The embroidery of the young grandmother really has nothing to say, just a few pairs of them are still after the guidance of the young grandmother, and the embroidery still has some aura. ”
Shopkeeper Zhao's mouth couldn't close, and she knew that Mrs. Yan's daughter must be wrong.
"Young master, you are really blessed to marry such a good woman as the young grandmother." Shopkeeper Zhao turned around and began to make fun of Ye Jingsheng in front of him.
Ye Jingsheng was choked and coughed, nodded stupidly, and looked at the pattern in Ye Renfu's hand. How good this little girl's embroidery is, can make the old embroiderers of the cloth village praise it.
"Where's the young grandmother?" Ye Jingsheng glanced at it and knew that it was good-looking, and he couldn't see anything else, so he asked where the little girl was.
"Oh, the young grandmother is still in the embroidery room." Shopkeeper Zhao said with a smile: "The young grandmother's embroidery is too good, and many embroiderers are waiting for her guidance." ”
"That's right." Ye Jingsheng touched his chin. He really didn't expect that the little girl was not very old, but she had good skills.
"Butler Ye, can you let the young grandmother be the teacher of the embroidery girls? Our embroidery is really far worse than that of the young grandmother. Shopkeeper Zhao asked expectantly.
Ye Renfu frowned, threw the pattern in his hand onto the silk, and looked at Shopkeeper Zhao coldly, "You have to ask the young master and the young grandmother about this." ”
Shopkeeper Zhao trembled, and realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly turned to look at Ye Jingsheng on the side, "Young master, I,"
"Hey, it's not a big deal, I'll answer you after I ask Su Wan's opinion." Ye Jingsheng stretched out his hand and hugged Ye Renfu's shoulder and patted it. Ye Renfu's expression just now was obviously angry.
"Young Master Xie." Shopkeeper Zhao's anxious heart slowly calmed down. I thought I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
"Brother Ye, where is this embroidery room, you can take me to see it." Ye Jingsheng patted Ye Renfu on the shoulder and asked. From childhood to adulthood, what he was most afraid of was that Ye Renfu would be angry. I always feel that that aura can freeze the entire Qinghe Town.
Ye Renfu's brows gradually stretched, and he moved his shoulders quietly, getting rid of Ye Jingsheng's hand, "Young Master, come with me." ”
Ye Jingsheng looked at his dangling hand, and he felt more and more that during the three years he was away, Brother Ye had any disease. According to Western medicine, it may be a 'cleanliness disease'.
Ye Jingsheng, who was following Ye Renfu, looked east and west, this corridor was still no different from when he was a child, it was still a blue tile and red lacquer column.
"Young master, it's here." Ye Renfu turned sideways slightly and looked at Ye Jingsheng who was leisurely behind him.
Ye Jingsheng took a few steps forward when he heard the sound, stood beside Ye Renfu, and looked in towards the half-open window. I saw a group of embroidery girls sitting in the middle of a group of embroidery girls who were embroidering with their heads bowed. Who is that young girl, not Su Wan?
"It seems that I really underestimated this little girl." Ye Jingsheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said.
"Young master, don't you go in and have a look?" Ye Renfu stood aside, just glancing at the scene in the room.
"Nope." Ye Jingsheng turned around, he just felt that Ye Renfu was too depressed when he got angry just now, so he changed the topic. Seeing the little girl so happy now can also reduce his guilt about leaving the book.
"Brother Ye, I remember that there is a guest room at the end of this corridor, let's go there and sit there. By the way, a good reminiscence. ”
Ye Renfu nodded slightly, and walked with Ye Jingsheng to the guest room at the end of the corridor. It's been a long time since I've seen it, but he really doesn't know where to start with this 'old'.
The sky gradually darkened, and Su Wan left the cloth village surrounded by a group of embroidery girls. The embroidery girls looked at the figure of the girl, and couldn't help but admire the girl's embroidery, which was really exquisite.
