Chapter 359 I Knew We Would Meet

In the evening, Ye Caiping's family had already redistributed the courtyard.

The main courtyard where Ye Caiping lives.

Jin'er, Huan'er, Jinhua and Du Shi temporarily lived in one courtyard, while Ye Daquan, Siquan and others lived in another small courtyard.

The next day, Ye Caiping and her daughter and Ye Daquan brought the glass workshop's engineering team to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion to install the glass.

The old lady and everyone in the Shen family already knew that Shen Zhiyan and Ye Caiping were running a glass workshop.

We heard that we were going to install the glass doors and windows for the first yard today, so we all gathered together to watch.

Old Madam Shen said, "Cai Ping, this glass is a kind of colored glaze, right?"

Ye Caiping said: "Yes, old lady, glass is more transparent and brighter than colored glaze."

Shen Manman said: “Grandma, my father has several glass bottles, which are transparent and bright, like water, without any blur.”

Dingguo Hou: "I saw it too. It's on his bookshelf."

Madam Hou: "I have been to his study, why am I not here?"

Dingguo Hou coughed dryly and said, "When I first saw it, I touched it and he hid it."

Madam Shen and others all looked at Shen Zhiyan.

Shen Zhiyan said calmly, “Mother knows how slippery my brother’s claws are, and she’s afraid that he will fall.”

Madam Hou chuckled: "Is this a gift from Cai Ping?"

Shen Zhiyan and Ye Caiping blushed at the same time.

Everyone in the Shen family looked at them and laughed.

However, this glass makes people look forward to it even more.

The Shen family naturally has glass products, but they are all valuable items.

A glass teacup of poor quality is worth dozens of taels. Not to mention ornaments with good quality and craftsmanship, which can easily cost over a thousand taels.

Just because colored glass is precious, it is mostly used to make ornaments or small items such as tea sets and lampshades. No one would use large pieces of it to install doors and windows.

Of course, the Shen family can afford to pretend to be one if they want to, but it’s somewhat unnecessary.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw two servants come in carrying a large object that was one person tall and six feet wide, covered with red silk. Finally, it stopped in front of Ye Caiping and others.

Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Madam, please."

Old Madam Shen glanced at everyone, held the nanny's hand and walked forward, then gently pulled.

A large piece of red silk slid down like silk, and something transparent like water appeared in front of everyone.

"Ah!" Everyone in the Shen family exclaimed, "Oh my god, it's like it's transparent."

Old Madam Shen also gasped.

The only colored glassware they had come into contact with before was the colored glass cup treasured by the Empress Dowager, which also had a turbid white color, but the glass before them seemed to be nothing.

Dingguo Hou's youngest son, Shen Xingxu, even went behind the glass and asked, "Grandma, can you see me?"

Old Madam Shen narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I see, I see!"

As he said this, he walked forward and touched the glass. It turned out to be real, not fake.

Madam Hou said happily, "No matter how good the paper window is, it is not as transparent as glass. With this, let alone doors and windows, even some bottles, jars and lampshades will look good."

Madam Shen nodded and looked at Ye Caiping with surprise: "How, how did you do this?"

Ye Caiping smiled: "I have my own secret recipe."

"How much is such a large piece worth?"

"We charge by the foot. Three feet square (1 square meter) is sold for one tael of silver."

Marquis Dingguo said excitedly: "This, this is too cheap!"

Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Then this room of glass is my gift to you, old lady."

"Okay, okay."

Ye Caiping quickly asked the workers to start installing the glass.

Ye Caiping was giving instructions from the side.

The Shen family and others were extremely curious and all gathered around to watch everyone installing the glass.

Soon it was noon and everyone ate together. Ye Caiping took out another batch of glass tableware.

Shen Manman looked at the osmanthus dew in the glass petal bowl and sighed, "Wow, it's so beautiful! It looks even more delicious this way."

"Little foodie." Ye Caiping pinched her little face.

After dinner, Ye Caiping watched the glass installation for a while. Seeing that everyone was installing it smoothly, she thought about going out for a walk.

Shen Zhiyan quietly pulled her hand: "Let's go out for a walk? How about I take you to the lake?"

Ye Caiping glared at him and said, "No. I don't want anyone to come to my house."

With the status of the Shen family, if people knew that she was Shen Zhiyan's fiancée, her door would be broken down!

She had been a wealthy person before, so she knew that people who wanted to make connections would come looking for her.

She wanted to have a few more days of quiet time, and it would not be too late to make it public on the old lady's birthday.

Fortunately, they were well protected during these two days, and the servants kept their mouths shut, so nothing leaked out.

Shen Manman squeezed in between them and glared at Shen Zhiyan angrily:

"Auntie will be unveiled on December 11th with Glass. This is called a grand debut and introduction! I can't just wander around with you and let anyone know about it."

Shen Zhiyan sighed softly: “Then have fun.”

After saying that, he turned around and left. When he passed by Ye Xuan who was watching the fun, he grabbed him and took him to class so that he could vent his depression.

Looking at Ye Xuan's dejected back, Ye Caiping felt a little pity for him.

Shen Manman smiled and said, “Aunt, you guys go play, I’m going to play chess with my second and third brothers.”

Ye Caiping knew that Shen Manman would not go out after returning to Beijing, so she smiled and said, "Okay!"

Then he touched her little head and said, "Will you go out with your aunt after December 11th?"

Shen Manman felt a little warm in her heart: “Well, okay.”

Ye Caiping smiled slightly.

By then, she would be Manman's stepmother, and no matter what happened, she would be able to protect her legitimately.

Ye Caiping found Jin'er Huan'er and Du Shi Jinhua and went out together.

Only Ye Daquan and other men were left directing the installation of glass.

......

When they went out into the street, Ye Jiner and the others found everything lively.

Because the capital is in the north, the local customs and habits are very different from those in the south, and there is a wide variety of snacks and gadgets.

After just a short stroll, the three sisters had their hands full of snacks and gadgets.

Ye Jin'er said: "If I had known earlier, I would have brought Xiao Xia and the others out."

Xiao Xia is the maid of Ye Jin'er and her sister.

Because Shen Manman said her maid was called Xiaoqiu, and the four of them matched the same season. Jinhua's maid was called Xiaochun, Jin'er and Huan'er's were called Xiaoxia and Xiaodong respectively.

Ye Caiping said: "Then let's go shopping for a while and then go back."

"Mom, that's Jiuqin Tea House. Even though it's a tea house, Sister Manman said there's a dessert called milk jelly that's super delicious." Ye Huan'er's eyes lit up.

Ye Caiping smiled: "Then let's go home after we finish eating."

Several people walked into Jiuqin Tea House.

The teahouse was quite busy and the lobby was almost full of people.

Seeing the waiter coming over, Ye Caiping asked, "Are there any private seats upstairs?"

The waiter said politely, "Sorry, no. There's still room in the lobby."

He said and gestured with his hands.

Ye Caiping followed his gaze and saw a table by the window.

Ye Caiping and the others walked over and were about to sit down when a loud voice rang out: "How dare you! These are our seats."

Ye Caiping and others turned around and saw a round-faced maid.

"What's wrong?" A gentle voice came from behind the maid.

Then a girl of about fifteen or sixteen came over. She was wearing a gorgeous peach pink dress and a set of sapphire head ornaments, which were obviously worth a fortune.

The maid curled her lips and said, "Nothing, just a few people who don't know what's good for them."

"Oh, that's nothing, just send them away." The girl brushed the hair beside her ears, then looked towards Ye Caiping, and then her face froze: "Why are you here?"

Ye Caiping raised her eyebrows: "Li Jiaojiao, well, I knew we would meet."

The person who came was Li Jiaojiao.
