Chapter 43: Bad Eyes
"What is this?" Chai Youchen stretched his neck curiously and looked over.
Xie Jingyi raised his chin triumphantly on the side, "You open it and take a look, I guarantee that in the entire city of Hangzhou, there is no little lady who sees this unwanted." β
Chai Youchen walked over, and there were eight small white open porcelain vases neatly placed on the table.
His fingers flew, and he opened the porcelain vases one by one, and wondered: "Ink? β
Xie Jingyi's smile stiffened on his face, "What colors are these?" β
Chai Youchen replied categorically, "Red." β
Xie Jingyi pointed to the first bottle and the last bottle without giving up, "What's the difference between these two colors?" β
Chai Youchen just wanted to answer no different, but he saw Xie Jingyi's expression that was about to collapse, and replied hesitantly, "The first one is deeper, and the last one is lighter", "But it's all red", Chai Youchen thought about it and added without giving up.
Scratch your lungs, scratch your lungs! Mama Xie was screaming from the bottom of her heart.
She pointed to her face, "Do I have rouge today?" β
Chai Youchen quickly stretched out his hand and pinched Xie Jingyi's face, and before Xie Jingyi reacted, he rubbed his fingers casually, "My hands are not dyed red, and you are not rubbing rouge." β
Although he didn't rub the rouge, his little face was red and white, like a pink peach blossom by the West Lake in March.
Xie Jingyi subconsciously slapped it, but Chai Youchen's hand had already withdrawn early.
She angrily pointed to the first bottle, "This red has pink in it, but it is oleander red; The second, red with orange, is like the dawn sun, but the dawn red...... The last one is the deepest maple leaf red ......"
Chai Youchen secretly glanced at Xie Jingyi, peach blossom red, dawn red, maple leaf red...... Isn't it all red after all?
He coughed, "I don't care about this kind of trivial matter, I only care, can we make money?" β
"Naturally, you don't understand, you can't see it at all, but after dyeing the cloth, the difference is obvious. The Communist Party is just such a color, and when I go to the banquet, every little lady is scared, for fear that the same person will bump into the shirt. There is the lady of the main palace, she prefers strong positive colors, and does not require much correctness, just a little more correction than those fox spirits. β
"It's not just cloth, you can dye silk, the color level comes out, let's use it to embroider the painting, it will be more vivid and realistic. Don't underestimate these, this is the color that only me, Pei Shaodu's closed disciple, can concoct, and others can't dye it even if they want to follow suit. β
"When I was in the palace, I used this trick to pick up how many palace concubines were black chicken mackerel, and they tore their heads one by one, haha!"
Chai Youchen glanced at Xie Jingyi speechlessly, "You just have this vision?" β
Xie Jingyi was stunned for a moment, and said lightly, "They all have no grievances or hatred with me, and they have nothing to do with each other." Whoever I promote and who I suppress are not all at the mercy of orders. In this palace, where is there any sincere beauty, but there is a new school on the left and an old minister on the right. β
"I look at them no different than you look at their father. Now that I'm not with that man, why do you mock me? β
Chai Youchen sneered, "I thought that you and I were standing on the same mountaintop, but it turns out that you are not." β
Xie Jingyi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he covered the bottles by himself, wrapped them in cloth, and turned around to leave.
"Chai Yanei is already rich in money, and the future is even more rich and monstrous. This little money, since it is not in your eyes, then naturally I don't need to bother with it. Leave! β
Xie Jingyi had just taken a step when he heard Chai Youchen sigh softly, "I just want you to stand taller and see farther." β
Xie Jingyi's heart softened, and he put the bottle back again, "Don't talk nonsense about these things that you don't have, you think you are Pei Shaodu, and you are a good teacher every day." Let's think about how to survive on your own. β
There are many problems with changing the law, that is, if you start again, who can say for sure, they will be successful?
Maybe it's still two singles going to Huangquan Road together......
"This time, we only dye silk and satin, fine but not general. I don't want to have too much to do with my grandfather's family, these shops and whatever, they say that they are yours to the outside world, but they just borrowed my family's dyeing and embroidery workshop. Even if there is someone who has a bad idea, if you investigate deeply, you will not dare to take action. β
"I'm too lazy to calculate so carefully, and we'll pay half of the dividends. I still trust you. β
"Every once in a while, I add new colors, new brocade patterns. With that done, I don't plan to put too much effort into it, let's find a few shrewd and capable shopkeepers to do things. β
"The real ability, leave it to the capital. If you do these well, you can't be rich enough to rival the country, and the rich side is more than enough. β
Chai Youchen listened carefully and nodded frequently, "What you say is what you say, and it's all up to you." Have you ever thought about not involving your family, after all, ......"
Xie Jingyi shook his head with a wry smile, "It's late." We insisted on it, and we couldn't see the way forward, but I don't regret it. I originally planned to wait for Daddy and Auntie to resolve the crisis, find an opportunity, or come out to stand up on their own, so as not to implicate them. β
"But guess what? My father turned out to be a protΓ©gΓ© of the prince. β
Chai Youchen listened and laughed gloatingly.
When he was born as a freshman, he was on the side of the official family. Unless his father is reborn, it will be impossible to change his position.
"The prince is the prince, the man is the man, you have made it clear."
Xie Jingyi thought for a moment.
After a long while, she came back to her senses, poured a cup of tea for Chai Youchen, and poured herself seven points full.
"It's hard to imagine that the two of us can sit together alone and talk calmly. There are no insinuations, no rivalry. β
Chai Youchen hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, "There are many things you can't think of." β
"In a few days, the prince will be appointed as the governor of the government and enter the cabinet to pay respects to the prime minister. First, the establishment of the three divisions of the regulations department, and then the establishment of the nine roads need the law, and the power of the transfer envoy will be greatly increased. The transit of our two Zhejiang roads makes the temperament calm, and there should be no chaos. And then the Seedlings Method came ......"
At this time in her previous life, Xie Jingyi had not yet entered the palace, and she was all hearsay and did not participate in the previous half. Although Chai Youchen was concerned at that time, he had not yet come out and could not speak.
"Guan Zhuan makes his temperament calm, but Guan Huizhi is not calm. Where is the problem of the Seedlings Law, let's take Hangzhou as an example and take a closer look. β
Chai Youchen nodded, "Next year will be the Spring Festival." There is only one year left for your father's promotion, and the change is an opportunity. β
