Chapter 47: Brother Strength
In the front hall, a woman in a cyan wide-sleeved skirt was sitting and drinking tea, and when she heard Ye Li's footsteps, she got up and said hello.
"Feng Lan, the people's daughter, has seen Princess Jin." Feng Lan talks decently, like a lady in the style.
Ye Li walked to her side and looked at the woman in front of her, as Xiao Liu said, there was a crescent-shaped birthmark on the left half of her face that could not be ignored, if there was no such birthmark, she would be a rare classical beauty.
Feng Lan ...... This name seems familiar, where have you heard it?
Feng Lan raised her head to meet Ye Li's inquiring gaze and said with a smile: "Two days ago, Princess Jin sent a piece of cloth, and the people of Tuoyun Xiangge made two sets of ready-to-wear clothes. ”
Cloud Wants Pavilion...... Oh! She's the designer of the Cloud Hope Pavilion!
She ordered the maid to hand the finished clothes to Ye Li, and continued: "I happened to meet at that time, and I was a little interested in this fabric, and I personally designed and cut these two clothes, Princess Jin is still satisfied with it?" ”
Although it is a man's clothes, it is not as fancy as a woman, and it is not the pursuit of novelty and chic in design, but it is extremely ingenious in the handling of details such as neckline and stitching, and the stitches are neat and delicate, which is enough to see the meticulous workmanship.
"Miss Feng is really skillful, I look good at this dress, I thank the girl here." Ye Li took down his clothes, "I wonder if Miss Feng has anything else to do when she comes this time?" ”
Feng Lan chuckled and bowed: "There is indeed something else, the material of this cloth sent by Princess Jin is novel, and the folk girl has not seen it in Shengjing, can you please tell Princess Jin where this cloth comes from?" ”
When Ye Li heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked suspiciously, "Why did Miss Feng inquire about this?" ”
"Although this cloth is slightly lacking in weaving and dyeing, the silk used for this textile is extremely rare, so the folk girl wants to buy a large number of this cloth on behalf of Yunxiangge."
Ye Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "Miss Feng only sees that the silk used for weaving this cloth is rare?" ”
Feng Lan was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but look at her differently, and said with a smile: "What's even more commendable is that this fabric is cooler and breathable than ordinary fabrics, and it is the most suitable for summer clothes." ”
"Miss Feng is a knowledgeable person, and I bought this batch of Shui Yun Aya from Jia Daren in the West Market a few days ago."
"Nishichi?" Feng Lan was surprised, "That's not ...... Jia Daren"
That Jia Daren is very rampant in the West Market, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the overlord of the earth, but there are still people who buy things from him?
Feng Lan hesitated again and again, and asked, "The folk girl has a reluctant request, I wonder if the princess of Jin is willing to help?" ”
"Miss Feng wants the source of Shui Yunya's supply, let me help with the connection?"
Feng Lan looked surprised and said with a smile: "I have this intention, Princess Jin is really a cheerful person." ”
"It's okay to help, but it's not for nothing."
After lunch, Ye Li immediately prepared a carriage and headed for Xishi. After many inquiries, I found Jia Daren.
At first, when he heard Ye Li say that he was interested in their batch of cloth, Jia Daren still suspected that she had any intentions, and after Fugui explained repeatedly, he agreed to take her to see their dyeing workshop first.
Ye Li thought that the so-called dyeing workshop would be a relatively large workshop, but he didn't want to be just an ordinary yard, there were only two textile machines in total, and they had been used for several years.
When I first entered the courtyard, several ladies were busy with their own work, or weaving, or dyeing, and there were two wooden shelves in the courtyard, on which there were also mulberry silkworms.
"Granny Li, Aunt Wu, Aunt Zhang......" Jia Daren shouted the people on the scene one by one before introducing Ye Li, "This is the person who bought our fabric last time." ”
Hearing this, everyone put down their work and came up to Ye Li.
"This girl is really pretty, with big eyes and bright eyes, and she has a vision at first glance."
"Girl, is this cloth of good quality? Do you still want to buy some of this? ”
"Hey girl, what's your name and where do you live? If you want to buy it from us often, give us the address and let Daren send it to you later. ”
……
The aunts and grandmothers were very enthusiastic, and Ye Li said with a smile: "Ye Li, my family lives in the Jin Dynasty Mansion in the east of the city. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was almost instantaneous.
The smiles on everyone's faces froze.
"Ye Li? Isn't it the sister of Ye Changfeng's turtle grandson? ”
"You still have the courage to come here, don't think that you officials can cover the sky with one hand!"
"The hatred of demolishing the village, the people of our Lijia Village, will not be forgotten for generations!"
"As long as there are people in our Li Family Village, we will be inseparable from your Ye family!"
……
Ye Li was stunned by their sudden reversal, and at this time, Aunt Wu suddenly picked up the stick and was about to swing it at Ye Li.
"Princess!" She didn't have time to do much, but Xiaoliu took a beating for her.
"Little Liu!" Ye Li was stunned, looked at Xiao Liu's grinning teeth in pain, and asked with concern, "How are you, where did you hit?" ”
Xiao Liu gritted his teeth and shook his head, blocking in front of Ye Li: "It's okay little one, princess, you can run first when the fight starts later!" ”
Ye Li: "......"
Not to mention, she was really touched.
Jia Daren snatched the stick in Aunt Wu's hand and threw it on the ground.
Fugui also hurriedly stopped people: "Oh, aunts and mothers-in-law, don't get excited!" She's here to buy our fabrics! ”
"Phew! The cloth I weave will not be sold to the surname Ye even if it is used to make kennels for dogs! ”
"That is, when we are easy to bully? Get out of here! ”
"Don't make a noise!" Jia Daren suddenly roared, and the field suddenly fell silent.
The demolition of Lijia Village was led by Ye Changfeng, and the place where they lived for generations was built into an imperial mausoleum by the emperor.
"You all listen to me......"
Before Jia Daren's words were finished, Ye Li patted him, "I'll do it." ”
Jia Daren stopped talking, and Xiao Liu also stepped aside with interest. I saw Ye Li take two steps forward, stand in front of everyone, and said sincerely: "Aunts, aunts, mothers-in-law, I know about the demolition of Lijia Village, it is the Ye family who can't stand you and let you leave your hometown to live in Shengjing, I sincerely apologize to everyone today." ”
Ye Li suddenly bent down and bowed deeply.
The crowd was amazed.
Don't talk about Ye Li's identity as the second miss of the Ye family, she is still the princess of Jin, although she is not as good as ordinary princesses, but it is usually them ordinary people who kowtow to her, and she really apologizes to them, and even bends over.
Even Xiao Liu felt that it was inappropriate: "Princess! ”
Ye Lizhan straightened up and continued, "I can understand your feelings......"
"What can you experience as a pampered daughter?"
"That's it! You, like your brother, are things without conscience! ”
"Of course I do!" Ye Li said loudly, "You have all lived in Lijia Village for generations, and you have a deep affection for your hometown. To you, that land nurtures your people like a mother and her own children. I haven't been uprooted, but I know I don't have a mother. ”
Ye Li said emotionally: "The three generations of the Ye family are loyal and patriotic, and my grandfather is a horse and sacrifices his life for the country; My father died on the battlefield on the day I was born; My mother also left me when I was still a baby. I am the second miss of the Ye family, yes, I have indeed lived a life of fine clothes and food since I was a child, but I am also an orphan without a father and mother, "father" and "mother" are the closest people in the world to others, but for me, in addition to the two ordinary words, I am afraid that it is just two tablets made of wood......"
The two generations of generals of the Ye family have sacrificed their lives for the country, and they are all great heroes in the hearts of all the people of Cangwu Kingdom, even the villagers of Lijia Village respect the two old generals very much.
The women present are all women who have children, although they are spicy, they are also the most emotional. When I thought that when the general and his wife both died, the girl in front of me was just a full-term baby, and I couldn't help but be moved.
"I said this, just to tell you that I can understand your situation and mood, but General Ye, as a courtier of Cangwu Country, has an order from above, even if there is an abyss ahead, he has to jump." Ye Li sighed.
"Are you saying this to defend your eldest brother?"
"No, I'm just ......" Ye Liyuan wanted to help Ye Changfeng wash it off, but in this situation, she better protect herself first.
Ye Li's eyes suddenly turned red, and the stubborn man let the tears roll in it, and everyone softened when they saw it.
Jia Daren said: "Say it well, cry what to cry!" ”
"I didn't cry!" Ye Li said fiercely.
Granny Li couldn't stand it anymore, and said in a light tone: "You go on, don't pay attention to him." ”
Ye Li nodded and continued: "Although I have lost my parents since I was a child, my eldest brother has treated me very well in the past ten years, loved me and spoiled me, and never treated me badly with food and clothing. I've always ...... I have always regarded him as the dearest and most important person......"
Ye Li made up the past, talking about how good Ye Changfeng was to her, and then suddenly there was a twist.
"But when I first fell in love, I met King Jin, although he was dull and old-fashioned, but he was single-minded to me, and I ......"
"It was love at first sight with him, too." Ye Li continued, "But you also know that although Qi Jun Mo is a prince, he is far less favored than ordinary princes, and his grade is not high, and he does not have a decent official position......
"The eldest brother dislikes his bad background and has no future, so he doesn't allow me to be with him, even, even ......"
Granny Li asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" ”
The crowd also kept urging: "Oh, you said it! ”
"He felt that I was supposed to be the crown princess, so ...... Just thinking about the way to match me and others......" Ye Li said sincerely, even Xiao Liu was about to be fooled by her.
Ye Li looked at the women and asked, "You say, when two people are together, is it important to have a position of power, or is it important to be sincere?" ”
"Of course, sincerity is important!"
"Women, if you can find someone who is good for you in this life, then it is a good fate!"
"That's it, look at those big families, the left concubine and the right concubine are carried home, this is me, I would have bought arsenic to poison them!"
"Although we little people are poor, our family lives comfortably."
