Chapter 339 This dress looks good
On October 20, the glass workshop was finally completed.
The ten craftsmen and materials that Shen Zhiyan had found had all arrived.
Ye Caiping recruited another 30 workers, and the wages varied depending on the type of work they did.
This time the recruitment was for other villages and it was filled up in less than half a day.
Ye Caiping planned to display the first batch of goods in the Dingguo Marquis Mansion in the capital.
She believed that as long as she displayed her products, orders would come in like snowflakes and she would never have to worry about customers.
Before this, Ye Caiping had already bought more than 30 acres of land nearby.
The small workshop here has started practicing and working first, while the larger one is already being expanded.
Ye Caiping plunged into the glass workshop and was so busy that she kept moving.
On October 22, Uncle Ye’s house was finally completed, and they held a housewarming party on that day.
Ye Caiping took some time off to visit Uncle Ye's house.
Uncle Ye’s house is three courtyards built together, surrounded by a wall, with doors connecting them. If we separate someday, we can just close the door.
Each small courtyard has five mu of land, plus the vegetable plots, animal sheds, etc., which together amount to two mu of land. All in all, Uncle Ye’s house has the largest courtyard in the whole village.
Relatives and villagers watched and praised it.
Wei was walking at the back, and she felt uncomfortable when she saw that the yard was even more magnificent than her own.
What's so great about it? Although this yard is bigger than hers, her second uncle only has four units, while her family has seven. The money I get every month is more than that of my second uncle's family.
Uncle Ye smiled and said, "It cost me more than a hundred taels of silver!"
Second Aunt Ye looked at Ye Caiping and said, "It's all thanks to Caiping's help. Otherwise, we wouldn't have such a big yard."
Ye Caiping smiled.
Second Aunt Ye added, "Now that the big house has been built, Hu Fen and Xiao Yan should move back. We have more rooms now."
"Well... well, my mother and I are planning to build a house too!"
Xiaoyan already has money. In October, we got 15 taels of silver, and next month we estimate that we can get more than 30 taels of silver, which adds up to 40 to 50 taels, more than enough to build a small courtyard with two entrances.
Ye Caiping took her hand and said with a smile: "Then build it! After the new house is built, buy two servants to serve your mother."
Although Uncle Ye's family is my in-laws, I still feel more comfortable in my own house.
"Since you all have settled down here with me, you can stay here until the new house is built and then move out. There's no need to worry about moving back and forth," said Ye Caiping.
Xiaoyan also meant this: "Thank you, auntie."
Seeing how close they were, Second Aunt Ye was naturally happy: "Then you can bother Caiping for a while longer. If you want to build it, start it quickly. When it's finished, you can get married in the new house."
Xiaoyan blushed immediately.
After visiting the house, we had a feast.
Ye Caiping and Old Lady Ye were seated, and at this time, they finally saw Ye Peng and Wei Xiaojuan arriving hand in hand.
Wei Xiaojuan looked radiant. Her originally dark face became whiter now that she no longer had to do farm work.
She wore three silver hairpins on her head, silver cloves on her ears, two silver bracelets on her hands, a bright pink silk dress on her body, and two purses and a piece of jade hanging around her waist. Walking on the village road, she was so conspicuous and bright!
Mrs. Du whispered, "Why do I feel... a little, a little... I can't describe it?"
Ye Xuan, who was sitting at the next table, leaned over and whispered, "Vulgar!"
"Ah, yes, yes, that's the word."
Ye Caiping asked, "Has the sister-in-law's aesthetic taste also been cultivated?"
"Really?" Mrs. Du said happily, "I watch you and sister Jin'er every day, so I naturally know what is good-looking."
In the past, Mrs. Du thought that the more gold and silver a person had on his head and the brighter the clothes were, the better he looked.
Gradually, I felt that this was not a good look, it was too exaggerated and tiring to the eyes.
Only the simple and plain style like Caiping is pleasing to the eye.
Later, I met Miss Shen and Mr. Shen many times. They were officials, but they didn't wear bright red or green. This proved that my feeling was correct.
The villagers were envious: "The hairpins on Ye Peng's wife's head are all made of silver! She also has two silver bracelets on her hands. The clothes she wears are not cheap either, they are made of silk."
"This outfit is amazing, like a flower or bird."
Wei Xiaojuan looked proud: "Because I married a good husband."
Ye Peng felt relieved after hearing this.
Du: "......"
Old Lady Ye: “…”
Ye Daquan whispered, "Aren't those hairpins and silver bracelets on her head all the gifts we gave her for tea? Even the clothes she wore were made of the silk cloth given to her by Second Aunt."
But this mouth actually became Ye Peng's credit.
The villagers looked at Wei Xiaojuan and praised her non-stop, and they were all envious.
Wei sat at the table, looking very proud: "Marrying into my family is like entering a blessed nest."
Ye Peng pulled Wei Xiaojuan and sat next to Wei.
I looked at Ye Caiping's table intentionally or unintentionally, but I didn't see Ye Jiner.
Could it be that she knew how good he had been to Wei Xiaojuan during this period and was so heartbroken that she dared not go out?
He felt a sense of revenge in his heart.
"Oh, Jin'er and Huan'er are here, please sit here." Xiaoyan, who sat at the same table with Ye Caiping, said with a smile.
Ye Peng couldn't help but look over and saw Ye Jiner and her sister coming over.
Ye Jin'er was wearing a beige jacket and skirt. She didn't even have a silver hairpin on her head, only a lilac velvet flower. The only gold and silver ornaments she wore were a twisted gold necklace with a green jade lock hanging from it.
Walking slowly, noble and elegant, like a flower bud just blooming in the morning light. She is delicate, beautiful and charming, so beautiful that one can't take their eyes away.
When Ye Peng saw Ye Jiner, he was stunned.
He thought that he would despise and not care about her when he saw her again, but at this moment he just froze there, not even daring to look at her.
Especially since she's so beautiful...
During this period, Ye Peng felt that Wei Xiaojuan was getting more and more beautiful. She had grown whiter and learned how to dress herself up. She wore beautiful clothes and silver hairpins and bracelets all over her body. In the whole village, there were few people who could dress like her.
But the clothes, which obviously looked more luxurious, when compared with Ye Jin'er, actually gave off a feeling of the mud on the ground and the bright moon in the sky.
In front of Ye Jiner, Wei Xiaojuan seemed unable to even stand up to the standard and was left behind.
"Oh my, Jin'er is getting prettier and prettier." It was Mrs. Zhao who spoke. "This is what a truly wealthy family is like. She doesn't even need a hairpin on her head to show that she is a rich lady."
Ye Jiner smiled and said, "Grandma Zhao, please sit down and eat."
Then he pulled Huan'er to sit next to Ye Caiping.
The villagers around were still thinking about what Mrs. Zhao said, nodding and smiling, "I think I learned something."
"This outfit has a different aura. It turns out the plainer it is, the better it looks!"
Ye Caiping smiled when she heard this: "It's not that the plainer the better. Luxury has its own beauty. It mainly depends on the occasion, and how to match it is the key."
Ye Caiping does not advocate funeral customs.
Now that they are in the village, there is no need for them to wear gorgeous clothes or have their hair covered with jewels, otherwise they will attract too much attention.
Dress according to the environment you are in so that you can blend in with your surroundings.
And nowadays’ simple dress is light and comfortable.
