Chapter 326: The Xia Family in Versailles
After Ye Caitang and Xia Yue had breakfast, they were not in a hurry to return. Anyway, there is no case now, although the paid is all holidays.
Xia Yue is full of pride.
"Let's go, I'll take you shopping."
"What to buy?"
"You can buy anything." Xia Yue said: "I used to buy things for you and had to be sneaky, and it was too embarrassing to find this reason and that reason." ”
Ye Caitang suddenly thought of his colorful cosmetics, and his face darkened.
"It's okay to buy something." Ye Caitang said: "I am in charge, you can put forward your opinions, and you can't have the final decision." ”
No matter how old an adult is, the straight man's aesthetic can't be changed for a while.
"Of course you're in charge." Xia Yue said: "I'll pay the money, you call the shots, and one of us will be responsible for part of it." ”
The division of labor is clear, which is very good, and Ye Caitang is very satisfied.
So the two went shopping, rouge gouache shops, ready-to-wear fabric stores, jewelry stores, shop by store, not only Ye Caitang bought it himself, but also prepared gifts to take back.
"Our family is actually very simple." Xia Yue said: "If you want to come, you also know something, our family was an official in Beijing for generations, but my father was involved in a case and was demoted to Jiangzhou. Later, it was found out that the emperor asked my father to be reinstated, but he was a little disheartened and stayed in Jiangzhou on the grounds of physical discomfort, unwilling to return to Beijing. ”
Ye Caitang had heard of this stubble before, Jiangzhou is a good place, although it is not as prosperous as the capital, but the land of fish and rice has beautiful scenery and is also a livable place.
Later, the crown prince ascended the throne and is now the emperor. The prince and I have been learning literature and martial arts together since we were children, and we have a very close relationship. He asked several times, and I only then entered Beijing to take over the six gates, which is more free than other courtiers. ”
Therefore, Xia Yue entered Beijing, that is, now the emperor needs his own people, and the main thing is trust. There are some things that may be unreliable to be handed over to others, so leave them to him.
Ye Caitang nodded, and it could be seen that every time you entered the palace, you went directly to the emperor, which meant a little bit of direct cronies.
Although I have never entered the palace or been an official, I have seen countless palace fights, and I understand the unsightly people of those you see.
Xia Yue said: "After my father was demoted to Jiangzhou, he was appointed as the governor, and he was conscientious and dedicated in Jiangzhou, but he didn't want to return to Beijing. ”
Governor, Ye Caitang has heard of it, but he has not understood it carefully.
So Ye Caitang shamelessly asked: "What kind of product is the governor?" ”
Listening to Xia Yue's meaning, the ancestors also had a brilliant time, but unfortunately they were implicated in an unjust case, and now the family is in decline. His father made do with a position in the field and took the family to live a mess.
Fortunately, his son is now promising, and he has the same friendship as the current top leader, so Xia Yue's coming to the capital may have the meaning of recovering the family. Otherwise, this generation is okay, but the next generation is far away from the power center of the capital, even if the family foundation is thick, it will slowly disappear.
Then Xia Yue said: "Second grade." ”
"......" Ye Caitang's hand holding a bracelet shook and almost didn't smash it.
Second product or depreciation, second product is still disheartened? Versailles, your family is ancestral, okay, no wonder your family is in the capital and a hot spring courtyard and a housekeeper, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.
"Hey......" Ye Caitang suddenly remembered something: "My lord, I see that you also live with everyone every day in Six Doors, so your family is in the capital, do you have a house?" ”
Although it was degraded away, it was not raided, and it was degraded to a second grade, so there should be nothing missing.
A power center like the capital is the place that is the best at looking at the atmosphere, and everyone pushes the wall down, but the Xia family is like this, I'm afraid everyone won't push it easily.
Xia Dad did not go to the end, and he may be reinstated at any time.
Although Xia Yue was still young, the prince's reading was a love since childhood, and the prince was a prince even if he was not a prince, and the prince's reading may have an unlimited future in the future.
Unless there is a personal vendetta for a long time, who is full enough to step on this foot.
Sure enough, Xia Yue said: "Here, I asked someone to guard it." However, when I go back to Beijing alone, it is not interesting to live in such a big house, it is not as convenient as living in six doors. ”
Ye Caitang took a deep breath.
Xia Yue was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's fine." Ye Caitang said: "Very good, I am very satisfied." When you are free, you can take me to your house to see, I have grown so big, I haven't seen anything in the world. ”
What's wrong with this, Xia Yue naturally said: "When I ask them to clean up, I'll take you over." ”
On this day, Ye Caitang and Xia Yue went shopping, shopping, buying, buying.
Fortunately, you don't have to carry the things you buy in your hands, and after paying for them, you can directly send them to the six doors.
No one dared to do anything with the things of the six doors.
After eating noon, Shen Xingyu also joined the shopping team with toner.
Ye Caitang looked at her picking and choosing, and said strangely: "What do you want to buy?" ”
"I don't know." Shen Xingyu said: "Paperweight, four treasures of the study, fans, paintings...... It's all right. ”
Ye Caitang listened and sounded wrong: "Who are you picking a gift for?" ”
Sounds like a man.
Shen Xingyu said: "Boss Huang." ”
Xia Yue also pricked up his ears instantly, and said vigilantly: "Why are you buying him something?" ”
Is it appropriate for a girl's family to buy things for a man? What do you mean?
"Gifts are still exchanged." Shen Xingyu said: "Let's eat and drink other people's people's lives, and we have received such expensive gifts, it's not good to pretend to be stupid." ”
Eating and drinking and living in other people's homes, Xia Yue understands, as for receiving such a valuable gift, where does this start? What gifts did you receive?
Shen Xingyu then remembered: "By the way, I forgot to say, Boss Huang came over in the morning and sent a few bracelets, all of which are beautiful and beautiful, and they are worth a lot of money at first glance." ”
Xia Yue suddenly felt unhappy: "For whom?" ”
Shen Xingyu said: "I am one, Tang Tang is one, toner is one, oh, and Aunt Lin is one." ”
Really thorough, polite and polite.
Ye Caitang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Boss Huang can make a lot of money, and there is really a reason." ”
Look at people's refreshment, this atmosphere, and this handwriting.
Xia Yue didn't want to look at it, he was dissatisfied: "Accept it all? ”
"Take it, I said it before, if I don't accept it, it's like I don't treat him as a friend." Shen Xingyu said, seeing that Xia Yue's face was not good, he added: "Cousin, I understand, I am not a person who likes to take advantage of others, and I am still courteous, isn't this picking a gift for him?" Pick a similar price, and I'll return the gift for everyone. ”
Saying that, Shen Xingyu picked an ancient inkstone.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this?"
Shen Xingyu's vision has always been poisonous.
The shopkeeper looked at it, and his eyebrows danced: "Girl has a good eye, this inkstone is the treasure of our town store, 13,200,000." ”
Ye Caitang was stunned.
Shen Xingyu looked left and right: "Cousin, what do you think?" ”
Xia Yue said coldly: "I don't think it's good, Huangquan doesn't know if he is literate or not, using such an expensive inkstone is a violent thing." Besides, did you bring so much money with you when you came to the capital? ”
Although Lord Xia tried his best to endure it, he still had a bit of a slander against Huang Quan.
"Cousin, you're so funny, don't you still have you, you pat me first and turn back to you." Shen Xingyu laughed: "Besides, Brother Huang can't read, his handwriting is good-looking, and the words on the wall of the Golden Gambling House are all written by himself." ”
Ye Caitang patted Xia Yue's hand to comfort him.
I also think it's too expensive, but your cousin likes it, and you have money, so just admit it.
