Grandma Ye asked, "Ming'er, you haven't made any money yet, where did you get this ginseng?"
Ye Ming raised his head. "This is what Doctor Gu didn't want. I asked around, and it's perfect for you to nourish your bodies."
At this moment, Ye Panjiu felt a little envious.
Bailu Academy has such amazing resources...
He then took out five more paintings. "Father, Mother, Aunt, Uncle, Aunt, these five paintings are for you. Choose whichever you like."
Ye Guihua curiously picked up a painting, looked at the seal on it, and felt a pang of sadness.
This is a painting by her husband, which is extremely rare and of immense value.
"Brother Ming, why did the Master give you this painting?"
She was clearly his personal disciple, but he didn't give it to her...
Ye Ming chuckled and scratched his head. "I said I was going home and couldn't think of any gifts to bring you. My master helped me get this, saying it was nice."
Madam Liu looked at her daughter and patted her head.
Ye Guihua opened her mouth, but didn't say anything more.
The headmaster's personal disciple is still more capable.
Ye Panjiu understood that the painting was quite valuable. "I must keep this painting safe."
The paintings that Bai Yuanyuan brought were all framed, so there was no worry about their preservation.
Finally, Ye Ming took out the last mahogany box from the book. The mahogany box had an exquisite surface and was carved with beautiful auspicious clouds.
"Brother, this is my wedding gift for you and your wife."
Ye Lei took it and eagerly opened the box.
Two snow-white jade pendants in the shape of twin fish came into view. They were slightly warm to the touch and smooth to the touch.
Fish scales were also carved on the jade, which looked lifelike under the candlelight.
Ye Lei quickly closed the box and pushed it back, saying, "This is too valuable, you keep it."
Ye Ming frowned. "Brother, this isn't valuable. It's a pair of jade pieces that my master picked up. Master Zhao, the jade carver, thinks it's a flaw in his work and wants to smash it."
Ye Panjiu raised an eyebrow, took the box, and opened it to look inside. She had never seen such an exquisite jade pendant in all the time she had been here.
The two carved fish seem to be leaping and moving with the light and shadow, not to mention that they are carved from two pieces of warm jade.
Even though Su Yan loves to wear jade, none of his pieces are more valuable than these two.
She advised, "Lei'er, just keep it."
It's not appropriate to refuse gifts from relatives.
Ye Ming nodded vigorously, "If you like it, big brother, I'll put down my book next time and go with Master to pick it up."
Ye Lei quickly waved his hand, "No, you should focus on your studies."
Ye Panjiu really wanted to pick it up.
Ye Ling'er curiously took the jade, touching and looking at it with a hint of affection. "Why doesn't Master Zhao teach us jade carving?"
She felt this was much more interesting than the classes she was currently taking.
Jade looks so pure!
“I haven’t spoken much with Master Zhao either. Ling’er, you can ask the head of the academy.” Ye Ming patted Ling’er’s head.
He knew about this younger sister.
Guan Muning sat to the side, watching the Ye family chat casually, a faint smile on her face.
This kind of relaxation is just right.
The Ye family chatted noisily until Old Mrs. Ye yawned, at which point Old Mr. Ye urged them all to go to sleep.
Ye Lei didn't sleep in the new room he had decorated; instead, he went to share a room with Ye Ming.
The two brothers talked on and on.
Ye Erniu paced back and forth in front of the house, taking several deep breaths, before being dragged inside by Sun Shi.
"It's evening, now you can talk, hurry up and tell me!" Mrs. Sun sat on the bed, leaning against the wall, her arms crossed.
Ye Erniu slowly moved to the edge of the bed, but Sun kicked him off, saying, "Tell me, or you're not allowed to sleep tonight!"
Ye Erniu clenched his fists and spoke, "Wife, you got drunk at noon, saying you fell asleep last night and I still clung to you... saying your back aches so much today you're about to break, and you cursed me like a dog..."
Sun was stunned, as if struck by lightning.
Ye Erniu was about to blurt it all out in one go, "I was also drunk, and when I heard you say that, I knew you didn't say that last night..."
Sun remained motionless.
Ye Erniu was a little scared, so he went over and hugged Sun Shi, "Wife, it's alright, no one will say anything."
Sun pushed him away and lay down, her heart filled with despair. "I'd rather be dead," she thought.
Ye Erniu panicked, "My dear wife, it's really nothing, everyone must have forgotten! Don't think about it, it's all in the past!"
Sun closed her eyes, shrugged, and brushed Ye Erniu's hand away. "Who forgot? Who could forget! It's all your fault! If you hadn't tormented me so badly last night, I wouldn't have said this while drunk!"
Ye Erniu quickly said, and came over again, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. My wife, you must live a healthy life. I can't live without you."
Sun continued to push him away, saying, "Get out, get out, I don't want to see you tonight!"
Ye Erniu ignored her and said, "Wife, is your back still sore? We're busy tomorrow, how about I give you a massage?"
Sun snorted coldly.
Ye Erniu raised his hand and began to massage her lower back. "You got up so early today and have been busy for so long. You must be tired."
"If I work hard all day tomorrow, I'll be able to relax a bit when I go to the shop the day after tomorrow."
As Sun listened to his rambling, her sense of collapse slowly dissipated.
She will never drink again!
She slept too much in the afternoon and wasn't sleepy now. "I'll give all the money from the gifts I receive tomorrow to my mother, and I'll give all the gifts to Jiaojiao. As for Lei'er's wages, I'll give two taels of silver to Jiaojiao."
"Starting tomorrow, Lei'er will have his own little home."
Ye Erniu comforted her, "It's alright, we'll still live together. Wife, if you have any heavy work to do tomorrow, don't do it, call me to do it."
Sun turned around and glanced at him, "I will, hurry up and lie down to rest."
Ye Erniu obediently lay down, hugged Sun Shi, and closed his eyes contentedly.
As dawn broke, Ye Panjiu was awakened by the sound of gongs and drums.
It's so lively outside.
Leading the procession was a bridal sedan chair, carried by Ye Daniu and Ye Qijin.
Next came the carriage Ye Ming had driven home yesterday. It bore the mark of Bailu Academy, was draped with a red cloth, and had a red scarf tied around the horse's head with bells that jingled as it moved.
Ye Lei was afraid of horses and never learned to ride one. Ye Ming didn't learn either. The two of them sat on the carriage shaft and drove the carriage. Ye Taohua was dressed in a red men's riding outfit.
Ye Panjiu's horse was incredibly well-behaved under Ye Taohua's back.
Those from Yejiacun who were skilled at playing the suona, drums, and gongs gathered around the horse-drawn carriage, beaming with joy.
Ye Lei, mindful of Li the matchmaker's advanced age, specially arranged for the family's oxcart to be used, so that Li could sit in the oxcart while Ye Santian drove it.
Ye Panjiu stood at the door, watching the group of people rush out, a smile involuntarily appearing on her lips.
Look at my daughter, how impressive she is!
"Girl, come on, eat quickly, eat more, we ate late at noon," Grandma Ye called to her.
Just as they finished their meal, Madam Tian and her daughter-in-law arrived to help.
Today, just like yesterday, is another feast.
