Chapter 274 For You
Ye Caiping said, "What are you talking about? I didn't invite you here to attract more people. I wanted you to see our furniture."
Shen Zhiyan smiled and said, “Yeah, do you mean to share your work with me?”
"Hmm?" Ye Caiping was startled for a moment, then smiled: "Hmm! Come in quickly."
Shen Manman had already been pulled in by Jin'er and Huan'er.
The two of them walked inside while talking.
Ye Caiping said: "Do you know anyone from the Weiyong Marquis's mansion? They are in our Nanzhou."
Shen Zhiyan fanned her as they walked, because it was hot and humid in August: “I don’t know her.”
"I know." The invisible man Duanwu walked out from behind Shen Zhiyan.
Ye Caiping: "Hurry up and tell me."
"The Weiyong Marquis's mansion has been downgraded to the fifth rank. His surname is Li. He fell into decline more than 20 years ago and moved back to his ancestral home in Nanzhou. He bought a small house with two entrances in the capital."
"The current Earl is already over 80 years old, and the title will end with his generation. He has only one son, but he is a lazy man who just lies at home every day and does not work."
"My grandson is a gambler. He gambled away all the family property. Our family is extremely poor. We can only live on the 15 taels of silver a month from my uncle. We have to live one day at a time."
"If the old man dies one day, the title of the Weiyong Marquis' Mansion will be gone, not to mention the nobility. By then, we will be worse than ordinary people."
When Ye Caiping heard the word "gambler", she understood.
All I can say is that God favors Li Jiaojiao.
It must be that when Li Jiaojiao was winning money everywhere, she met the old man’s grandson at the gambling table.
If there is anything valuable about this Earl's Mansion, it is nothing more than the noble title that exists in name only, and the place in the college entrance examination that this title brings.
This was exactly the spot Li Jiaojiao wanted. She must have spent a large sum of money to have Li Zimo adopted by the old uncle's son so that she could get this spot.
Ye Caiping guessed correctly that this spot was bought by Li Jiaojiao for 50 taels.
The purpose was to allow Li Zimo to take part in the college examination and win the first place in one fell swoop.
Shen Zhiyan said, “Why are you asking this?”
"Nothing, I just heard about this person suddenly, so I asked."
The two of them had already entered the store, and Ye Caiping showed him the furniture with great joy: "Take a look, do you like these furniture?"
Shen Zhiyan narrowed his eyes: “There are so many people, I can’t see.”
Ye Caiping was angry: "Are you blind?"
Shen Zhiyan chuckled: “I won’t tease you anymore, it’s very beautiful.”
Shen Zhiyan looked at the dazzling array of furniture in the room. Each piece was novel and unique, with elegant and smooth lines and unique patterns.
His eyes lit up slightly, with an appreciative smile: "Did you design all of these?"
"Yeah." With a proud look on his face.
Shen Zhiyan praised generously: "They are all very beautiful."
Ye Caiping was satisfied: "That's right! Look around at home and see if there's anything you want to change. I'll give it to you."
"Really?" Shen Zhiyan looked at it, "Then I'll change them all. I want your new style, but I don't like the wood here. I like rosewood."
Rosewood? Ye Caiping took a deep breath and asked, "How many rooms do you want to change?"
"All the rooms and halls in the house."
Ye Caiping's face froze. This room full of rosewood was worth tens of thousands of taels.
Shen Zhiyan smiled: “Don’t worry, I will provide the wood myself.”
"Oh...that..." Ye Caiping felt embarrassed and wanted to say no. She said she was giving someone something as a gift, so how could she ask them to provide the materials?
But she couldn't afford the tens of thousands of taels of wood...
He seems to be quite casual in normal times. He can use any fish basket that costs 10 cents, but why is he so particular about the wood he uses?
Wrong decision!
Ye Caiping said, "Then we'll measure the dimensions later, you can bring the wood over, and I'll pay for the labor."
"OK."
"Here, let's go around a few more times and see what style you want."
The two of them were walking around in the store, but it was crowded, and it was early August, and the weather was hot and stuffy, which was really uncomfortable.
As they walked, Shen Zhiyan fanned Ye Caiping all the way.
"It's Mr. Shen!" When Old Mrs. Ye and Old Man Ye saw the two of them, they hurriedly stepped forward with a smile.
"Hello, Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye." Shen Zhiyan nodded and greeted.
"All is well."
The old couple were all smiles, and Old Man Ye asked nervously, "Sir, do you have any furniture you like?"
Shen Zhiyan said: "Thank you, Madam Ye has already sent it. Eh..."
He suddenly looked at Old Man Ye's waist.
The old couple dressed up specially today, wearing the silk clothes bought by Ye Caiping. They looked like wealthy people, but they were still a little restrained.
Old Man Ye was wearing a brown robe with a slanting collar and a white jade peace locket with dark green tassels hanging around his waist. He looked very familiar no matter how he looked at him.
"This jade is a housewarming gift from Mr. Shen to our family. My son gave it to an old man like me." Old Man Ye saw him looking at his jade and asked nervously, "Is it for Xuan'er?"
Talking about going to pick jade.
After Shen Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, he quickly smiled and said, "No. Uncle Ye looks very good wearing it."
Old man Ye smiled and said, "Really?"
Shen Zhiyan took off a white jade ring from his hand and handed it to him: "It will look better with this."
"This..." Old Man Ye was flattered and surprised: "Sir, why did you suddenly send something to me?"
Shen Zhiyan said: "Today is the grand day of your store's opening. I am sorry for being so abrupt and forgot to prepare a gift. This ring will be a gift. I hope Uncle Ye, Aunt Ye and Madam Ye don't mind."
As he said this, he glanced at Ye Caiping.
Ye Caiping tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled, "Thank you. My dad likes it very much."
"Um."
Duanwu, who was behind, quietly stuffed a small box into his sleeve.
Old Man Ye took the ring and put it on his hand: "Haha, then I won't be polite. Thank you, Mr. Shen. Does it look good?"
Shen Zhiyan smiled: “It looks good.”
Old Lady Ye: "Look at how you are showing off. You really don't know how to be polite. Mr. Shen, I'm sorry."
Old man Ye turned the ring happily. It was really beautiful, but a little big.
Hey, why does it look like a pair with the jade pendant around my waist?
Old Lady Ye said, "Also... well, Xuan'er will be taking the entrance exam the day after tomorrow. Does the teacher think he can pass it?"
Shen Zhiyan: "Don't worry, you will definitely pass."
“I feel relieved with Mr. Shen’s words.” Old Mrs. Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Caiping took Shen Zhiyan for a few more rounds, and then caught the happy Shen Manman.
Shen Manman said: “Dad, these furniture styles are all very nice, how about we change the furniture?”
Ye Caiping said: "I have decided to change it."
Shen Manman: “Then Aunt Ye, remember to make Daddy’s bed bigger—um—”
Shen Zhiyan pressed his folding fan against her little mouth: “Shut up!”
The corners of Ye Caiping's mouth twitched slightly.
