Chapter 372 Good Methods
Lady Pingguogong's face turned pale, and she forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Second Master Chen, for being magnanimous... Then I'll have someone take Jiaojiao back now."
If they don't stay, they will completely offend the Dingguo Marquis Mansion!
From now on, their Duke's Mansion will have no foothold in the capital.
Nanny Yu and Xiaolu were very tactful and quickly carried Li Jiaojiao away.
At this time, a chuckle sounded: "Hey, it's so lively here, what happened?"
Ye Caiping turned around and saw the Marquis's wife, Old Madam Shen and Marquis Dingguo coming over surrounded by a group of people. Almost all the guests today had gathered here.
The person who just spoke was Madam Hou.
The people who had gathered here quickly made way.
Duke Ping and his brother Liu Shangwei also came. The three of them stared at the wife of Duke Ping with murderous eyes.
After Shen Zhiyan appeared, they also followed the Dingguo Marquis family.
But the Dingguo Marquis and his family just stood there and said nothing; they did not dare to step forward.
They watched Li Jiaojiao act stupidly and mischievously, and were so angry that they almost vomited blood. But he didn't dare to step forward to stop it! Of course, they couldn't stop it.
I can only watch all this happen and see the Duke Ping's Mansion lose face!
During the process, all the guests around them looked at them with either sarcasm or ridicule! They wanted to turn around and leave, and find a dog hole to crawl into.
Later, Shen Zhiyan said that they were no longer qualified to even crawl through a dog hole!
Madam Shen and others walked up to Ye Caiping and asked, "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"
"Auntie!" Shen Manman jumped out from behind Old Madam Shen, "Who bullied you?"
As she spoke, she glared at the Duke's wife angrily.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "It's okay, it's all resolved."
Today is Madam Shen’s birthday party, we can’t spoil the fun.
Madam Shen nodded lovingly: "It's good that you're okay."
After saying this, she took Ye Caiping's hand and faced everyone:
"I originally wanted to introduce him at the beginning of the banquet, but now that everyone is here, I will formally introduce him to you all here."
"This Lady Ye is Zhiyan's fiancée. They will be married on the 20th of the first lunar month next year! These two little girls, named Jin'er and Huan'er, will be the fifth and sixth young ladies of our Dingguo Marquis' Mansion in the future."
The people present had already known this, and they immediately smiled and congratulated:
"Congratulations, old lady, congratulations to Mr. Shen, you are so happy to have a daughter-in-law, and two more daughters who are so beautiful."
Most of these congratulations were flattering. No matter what Ye Caiping's background was, as long as the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion liked them, they had to be praised.
Madam Hou smiled and said, "As you all have seen today, most of our doors and windows have been replaced with colored glass, and all kinds of lamps and tableware are also made of colored glass."
Princess Fushun scolded, "I have been pestering you all the way and you have not said anything. Now you are keeping me in suspense again. Why don't you speak up now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the guests around laughed.
They had long been curious about these colored glasses, and they were so greedy that they wanted to grab one and take it home.
Madam Hou smiled and said, "These are a kind of colored glaze, but they are more transparent and brighter than colored glaze. Of course, the production process requirements are also higher. There is a new name, called glass."
"These glass products are all made in Ye Yiren's glass workshop. Ye Yiren has mastered the craftsmanship of making glass and is able to produce them in large quantities."
All the distinguished guests present looked at Ye Caiping with shining eyes: "What, Ye Yiren has mastered the craft of making colored glaze... no, glass? And can it be mass-produced?"
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Yes. The glass doors and windows, lighting fixtures, and tableware of this mansion can be taken down for about three or four thousand taels."
Doors and windows are sold by square meter, which is cheaper, but lighting and tableware are sold by piece, which is more expensive.
The guests looked at Ye Caiping with increasing enthusiasm: "That's great. Paper windows don't keep warm and are easily damaged. Glass ones are both light-transmitting and warm, it's perfect."
"If both the lantern and the lampshade are made of glass, the chance of fire can be reduced."
Moreover, even the Dingguo Marquis Mansion is using it now, so it is the benchmark of fashion. If they don’t use it, wouldn’t they be out of date?
Seeing that everyone was eager to try, Ye Caiping said, "If you are interested in glass, you can talk to me later. Today is the old lady's birthday party, so let's continue to have fun or listen to opera."
Old Madam Shen looked at Ye Caiping with a smile, thinking that her daughter-in-law was sensible.
Ye Caiping said, "Madam, let's go to the theater in front to watch a play."
"Okay, okay."
A group of people surrounded Old Madam Shen and the others and left together, talking and laughing, praising them as they walked:
"Mr. Shen has a good eye. He found someone who knows how to work with glass."
Shen Zhiyan: "She can also design furniture, and a furniture workshop will be opened in Beijing next year. What she thinks is different from what we think."
Shen Manman said proudly: "Hot and spicy soup was also thought up by my aunt!"
"Really? I like spicy soup the most! Ye Yiren is really clever!"
The voices praising Ye Caiping faded away, leaving only a group of people from the Duke's Mansion standing there in a daze.
The Duke's wife was in a daze and couldn't recover.
She felt hatred and shock in her heart. She had always thought that Ye Caiping was just a small rich farmer and a small trader. Who would have thought that she could actually make glass?
This is good stuff!
Even a fool knows how huge the profit is here!
This bitch, why do all good things happen to her!
Duke Ping glared at her fiercely, wishing he could pounce on her and beat her up.
But there were four or five other guests around, so he snorted coldly and walked away.
But after he had walked a few steps, someone who didn't get along with him came up to him and said, "Hey, Duke, let's talk about your adopted daughter. Why did you take her in?"
"It's none of your business—humph!"
The Duke's wife was not much better. She was just about to find a deserted place to hide when a woman in gorgeous clothes came forward and asked with concern:
"Is Madam Liu okay? Alas... Madam, how could you be so careless in adopting a daughter? You didn't even check her family background."
"And I heard that she was just a maid, how could you be so foolish as to adopt her as your adopted daughter?"
Those words of concern were like sharp knives stabbing into the heart of the Duke's wife.
The Duke's wife glared at the woman angrily: "What's wrong with a maid? Aren't you also a maid?"
After saying that, he snorted coldly and turned away.
The woman choked on the spot. The man was none other than Mrs. Mei, the wife of Marquis of Ningguo.
Lady Pingguo left quickly, trying to hide in a deserted place.
But today, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion was too lively, with people everywhere. It was impossible to hide even if I wanted to, and I was always "greeted".
The wife of Duke Ping had no choice but to hide in a rockery.
At this moment, she suddenly saw Ye Caiping and her maid walking hurriedly past.
Lady Pingguo was so angry that she came out of the rockery and said coldly:
"Ye Yiren is really good at it. She actually climbed up to the high branch of Master Shen Er! Who are you... I was right before."
Anyway, she had already offended Ye Caiping badly, so she was not afraid of saying harsh words behind her back.
